Sometimes They Come Back... Again (1996) - full transcript

Jon Porter returns to his hometown after the sudden and bizarre death of his mother. He hopes to leave as soon as the funeral is over but it's too late. The sinister forces that caused his sister's brutal murder 30 years ago are back. Jon knows the nightmare can't continue. He must stand up to his fear and exorcise the demons who have risen again to take posession of his beautiful teenage daughter - body and soul.

Oh!

What is it
about the dark

that makes you
afraid, Phil?

I don't know
exactly.

I'm just scared
there's something there

that I can't see.

Hmm. Do you know
what that might be?

If I knew that,

I probably wouldn't
be afraid of it.

I guess that's
what you mean, right?

Sometimes
the hardest part



is admitting
to yourself

that something
exists

which makes you
frightened.

What made you afraid

when you
were a little boy?

You can't
tell anybody this.

I had this nightmare
that wouldn't go away.

Michelle,
for god's sake,
what are you doing?

I'm in session.

It's grandma.

If there's
anything else

I can do,
let me know.

Was she ill long?

No. She...



Your grandma was
such a sweet lady.

We're so sorry.

I'm Maria.
This is Jules.

You're...'shel,
right?

Actually,
it's Michelle.

My dad's the only one
that calls me 'shel.

How did you
know her?

She was
our employer.

We cleaned her house
every week.

Anyway, we're
really sorry.

Bye.

Thanks.
Bye.

I appreciate your
being here today.

We need to talk
about your mother.

I'm sorry.

I don't think
I know you.

You know me.

I don't think I do.

You know there is
still evil here.

Who was that?

A very
troubled man.

He said that
you know him.

We should get back
to our guests.

Come on.

Hi, Jon.

This is...

Michelle.

* here he comes

* here comes
speed racer *

* he's a demon
on wheels *

* he's a demon...

Yo! Yo!

Do you have
any idea

what time it is?

Yeah. It's 7
and 32.

7:32.

Yeah--7:32--
that's still
bedtime for me,

not mow-the-lawn
time.

Mrs. Porter said
it's mow-the-lawn time.

Look, you...
What's your
name?

I'm Steven.
I'm the gardener man.

Hi, Steven.
I'm Jon Porter.

That's
my daughter
Michelle.

Oh, you're
very pretty.

I meant that
at your daughter.

Steve,

Mrs. Porter
passed away.

She was
my mother.

We're here
to close up
the house.

Oh, but I mow
the lawn,

and when Mrs. Porter
comes back,

she'll want
the lawn mowed.

No. She's not
coming back.

How about
letting us sleep

while you mow
someone else's
lawn,

and then you finish
this lawn later?

But Mrs. Porter said
the lawn is to be mowed

exactly at 7:30.

Yeah.

Yeah.
I'm sure she did.

O.k.

O.k.

Bye.

* here he comes,
here comes speed racer *

* he's a demon on wheels

* he's a demon

* and he's gonna be
chasing after someone *

* here he comes,
here comes... *

this house kind of
gives me the creeps.

How long do you think
we'll be staying here?

Uh-huh.

That's good.

A few days?
A week?

Yeah, probably.

Is this you?

Ha ha ha!

What's so funny?

Nothing. It's just
that you look

a little...

What?

You look
a little goofy.

I was 13.

I wa goofy.

She's pretty.

Is this Lisa?

Yeah.

How come we never
came to see grandma
that much?

Oh, I don't know.

You get
so wrapped up

in your own things.

Dad...

It's o.K. If you
don't want to talk

about what's
on your mind,

but you can
tell me that

instead of pretending
it's something else.

Are you
analyzing me?

Uh-oh.

Newton!

Newton, no!

Bad pig! Bad!

Have you thought about
what we'll do with this?

Oh, I don't know.

Pork chops?

Come on, Newton.

Come on, newties.

Come on.

That's a good pig.

No. What about
this one?

Come on.
Let me see.

It's just my sister
in her underwear.

I see it
all the time.

Yeah, but I don't.

Come on. Bfp.

Bfp? Now,
when did you

come up
with that one?

Best friend priority.

If you say bfp,

the other guy
can't argue

because he has to
do it automatically.

Oh, brother.

Oh, wow.

Look at those
cannubies.

You ever spanked to her?

Oh, come on.

Shh!

Jackpot.

You could
be talking...

Let's get
out of here.

Not a chance.

Let's go. Bfp.

Uh-oh.

What do we
have here?

You guys hang out.
I'll be right back.

You look great.

Great shape.

Yeah.
She's not bad.

What are they
doing here?

Oh, these guys?
They're my friends.

Think she'll
take on all three?

That's my sister,
dickhead.

Don't they ever
get dates?

Why do they have
to come with you?

Lisa, you want me
to get rid of them?

Would you? Please?

Absolutely.
I'll get rid of them.

Whatever you want.
O.K.? Be right back.

She didn't
go for it,

so take
a little walk.

O.k.?

You know
who that is?

Yeah.

It's Tony Reno.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.
I was just thinking.

You look like
you just saw a ghost.

Come on. Let's, uh,
let's finish up here.

No way!

Now I know
why people eat pork.

Hi.

Hi.

I know this is
kind of last minute,

but we were
wondering if--

we're going to
the diner tonight.

We thought you might
want to join us.

That's really nice
of you, but--

we want to
hang out with you

before you go home
for your birthday.

I have a mess
in here.

You can clean up
after Newton later.

No. You don't
unders--

how did you know
about Newton,

and how did you know
about my birthday?

Uh...

She's like that.

Some people think
it's really creepy,

but really she's o.K.

We'll help you.

What did he get into
this time?

The entire kitchen.

It wa--it--it...

I was just in here,
and there was...

He--he'd eaten all...

It was
a total wreck.

Your grandmother
loved him,

but pigs
can be so messy.

No. You don't
understand.

It was a wreck.
It was a total--

pigsty?
Ha ha ha!

I think you need
a milk shake.

The star.

She is such
a show-off.

If she weren't
my best friend,

we'd have to
burn her
at the stake.

Can I have
another coke?

Right away.

Let's do it again.

The fool.

Yes.

Anyone need
an attitude
adjustment?

No.

Mmm.

Come on.
You can get it.

Well, hello.

The lovers.

Unmistakably
the lovers.

It's the one on top

that you should
look out for.

That's pretty good.

You must be
new around here.

We know
most of the guys

around glenrock.

Yes. I'm sure we do.

I'm Tony--Tony Reno.

I'm Maria.

This
is Jules,
and this--

Michelle, right?

Right.

I heard about
your grandmother.

I'm...I'm so sorry.

Thanks.
How did you know?

Oh, this is
a small town.

News travels fast.

Are you going
to be here for long?

Um...

Just a few days,
I think.

Michelle's
turning 18
next week,

so she's got
to get back
and celebrate.

Oh, well, I'm sure
we could come up

with an exciting
celebration for you

right here.

Maybe you could leave
Michelle your number,

and she can call you
if she's interested.

That's a great idea.

Do you mind
if I sit down?

Sure.

Wow, that's a really
cool necklace.

You like it?
Check it out.

It's beautiful.

It's yours.

Oh, no.
I can't keep this.

Sure, you can.
Looks great on you.

Consider it an early
birthday present.

Don't we have to go
do that--that thing?

What thing?

You know--that thing.

No. I don't
remember us

having to do
anything

except
hang out here.

Well,

I guess I should
be going.

Have
a great time

doing
that thing.

Catch you later.

I have two words
for you--

"shut" and "up"!

I have one word
for you--"psycho."

I thought
he was cute!

He forgot his watch.

It doesn't
work, though.

It looks like
it's yours now,
honey.

* chasing
after someone *

* and he's coming...

Hey,
check this out.

Oh, yeah.
That's great.

Maybe you should
join the circus.

Shut up.

Hey, check it out.

You've seen
your sister naked,

but have you ever
seen her boinking?

Let's go.

Shh.

Shh.

You looking
for something?

We were just...
We were just...

Just getting lost,
right?

Yeah. Just
getting lost.

Jon, let's get
out of here.

Come on! Bfp.

Let's go.

You go on ahead.

I'll catch up
to you later.

Protecting
your sister.

That's cool.
I like that.

It's o.K., j.J.

I'll see you
at home.

Don't you worry,
little man.

I got you covered.

You need
to act soon.

You must prepare

before
it's too late.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Your mother's death
was no accident,
Jon.

I can't help you
with this.

I don't need
your help.

You need mine.

You came to me
30 years ago
for help.

That's all
behind me now.

It's not behind you
at all.

I can help you
stop him, Jon.

Stay away from me.

Hi.

Hi.

I have your watch.
It's upstairs.

Oh, hey,
don't worry about it.

I hope I didn't offend
your friends last night.

No.

I--i brought these
anyway.

That's so nice
of you.

Oh! Come in.
Come in.

Um, I was just
about to make dinner.

Mmm.

Looks like he had
the same idea.

No! No!

This is my
grandmother's pig.

He must be
very dirty.

Actually, they're
very clean animals...

Cleaner than
a lot of people.

Dad, this is Tony.

Hi, dad.

He was just coming by
to say hi,

and he brought us
these flowers.

Anything else
we can do for you?

No.

I'll just see myself
to the door.

O.k.

You know, you really
should be careful

with that thing.

You could hurt someone.

I'll catch you later.

O.k.

What was that
all about?

I don't like him.

I noticed.
What's the deal?

I just don't
like him!

I don't know.

He reminds me
of someone
I used to know.

O.k., but he has been
very sweet to me.

He tried to give me
a birthday present,

and he brought us
these flowers.

Yeah, I guess
you're right.

He must be
a real creep.

Picking up the mail?

Hi, Steve.

Yes, I'm picking up
the mail.

I used to sometimes do
the picking up the mail
for Mrs. Porter.

Really?

That's very nice
of you.

I'm sure
that she really
appreciated that.

Yeah,
but I didn't look at it

because it's not
my affairs.

Right. I guess
you're right.

People's mail
is their business.

I don't look
at other people's affairs

because it's not
my business.

Well, like
it's not my business

to tell you
who to like and stuff.

Right.

Well, I'm going to
go inside now

and take care
of my business.

O.k.,
but if you ever...

Want to know what I think
about that, uh...

Bad guy...

With the fast car,

you just ask me, o.K.?

I will.

O.k., because
he's not like...

He's not like
regular people.

He's different.

I saw him walking
the other night,

and then I saw him
walking away.

Oh, no. I mean...

I saw him walking,

and then...

And then
he was gone.

Uh, right.

Yeah.

Well, it was
really nice

talking to you,
Steve.

Thank you.

Ooh! Uh...

* here he comes,
here comes speed racer *

* burnin' up
the quarter of a mile *

* he's a demon

* and he's gonna be
chasin' after
someone... *

aah!

* ...Look alive

Drink it,
and we all
live forever.

You freak!

I'm going to
rip out your heart

and eat it
while it beats.

No!

Ugh!

Let's get out of here.

Hey, watch out!

Oh, my god.

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

Hey,
what's your problem?

You better wake
on up, buddy!

Come on.
Let's get out of here.

I got to get back to work
in 40 minutes.

Archer continues to pester me

about her death--

trying to warn me.

I can't understand
that crazy old man.

He asks me
about an old watch

Lisa was wearing
when she died.

I can't remember there being
any old watch

when they found
the body.

Good morning.

Hi.

This is going to
take a lot longer

than a few days,
dad.

We haven't even
been through half
of these rooms yet.

Let me give you
a hand.

I'm happy to do it.

I just don't really
want to spend

the entire summer
doing it.

Where's that watch
you were wearing
the other night?

That necklace?

Um...

It's...

Ha!

I can't remember.

Oh, great.

Think we can fix it?

Sure. Hold this.

Grr...

Oh, come on.

Here. You just--

aah! Aah!

Maybe we should hire
an electrician.

There must be
some tools

around here
somewhere.

Here it is!

Aah!

Aah! Ugh!

Oh, Mr. Porter,
you should use protection.

I'll be careful.

No, no. No.
You should use protection.

Here. These are
protection gloves.

Thank you, Steve.

See, electricity--
electricity can kill you.

These gloves--

they can protect you
from the electricity--

even up to
a million volts.

That's a lot
of electricity.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
Thanks, Steve.

You're welcome.

Oh, no, Mr. Porter.
You keep them.

You keep them
for a while

because you may need
to use them again.

Well...thank you
very much.

You're welcome.

Hello, Jon.

Hello, father.

Change your mind?

You were
calling my mother
before she died.

She wouldn't listen
to me.

What do you know
about her death?

The sabbath approaches.

This is the only way
to keep them away.

Father. No!

Stand back!

Oh, the spirit
indeed is willing,

but the flesh
is weak...

And so my blood

is growing weak,
and they know that.

Who knows that?

Do you believe
in human evil, Jon?

I believe people
sometimes lose their way.

What a very
thoughtful answer.

You must feel
so very safe

hiding behind

all that
psychoanalytical
blatherskite.

Hear no evil,

speak no evil,
see no evil.

Is that
how they teach
psychology today?

Now, see this.

"Dominatus..."

"Este."

Had not
Salomon dominion
over demons?

No doubt he tried.

The rewards are...

Impossibly
tempting.

30 years ago,

you interrupted
a cabalistic
sabbath.

Your sister
wasn't just murdered.

She was sacrificed
as part of a demonic ritual.

The real ones
are very rare.

They're very hard
to track.

No one knows

exactly when
the cabalistic sabbath occurs,

which makes
the task at hand...

Very difficult.

Yes, I can see that.

Don't mock me!

You already suspect
that what I'm saying
is true.

You wouldn't be here
if you didn't.

Let me make
something

very clear
to you, Jon.

You can't run away
from this.

This evil will follow you
wherever you go.

It already has.

If you want
to stop it,

you must cut it off
at the source,

go back to where
it all started.

But he died.

They all died!

I saw it
with my own eyes.

A poorly extinguished fire
is quickly reignited.

You must have somehow
allowed them to die.

Unless they die
by your hand,

they will come
after you

and take you and everyone
close to you with them.

He's come back to finish
what you interrupted, Jon,

and each time
he kills,

he can bring back
another of his minions

unless you stop him.

You're saying
I have to commit
murder.

You won't be
committing murder, Jon.

They're already dead.

That book
will show you

some of what
you need to know.

Take it with you.

The beast will work
through the bloodline

and sacrifice
on the sabbath
of the 18th year.

He killed Lisa
when she was 18, Jon,

and he killed
your mother

so you'd bring Michelle
to him.

I've had enough
of this.

If you think
my mother was killed,
tell me who did it.

A man named Jim Norman

was the last man
I heard of

to violate
the sabbath.

If you don't believe me,

you may want
to call on him...

Unless
you'd rather wait

for Tony to come
knocking on your door.

* so you better
look alive *

* he's busy revving up
the powerful mach five *

* here he comes

* here comes
speed racer *

* he's a demon
on wheels *

yep, definitely
looks like

it's hyper-hydraulic
mulch-mode time.

O.k., let's do it.

* here he comes,
here comes speed racer *

* and when the odds
are against you *

* and there's
dangerous work to do *

* you bet your life
speed racer *

* will be there
to see it through *

Uh-oh.

What's wrong
with the powerful mach five?

Oh.

Looky here.

A red shoe.

Where did this
come from?

Ugh!

I got you.

You can't run away
like that.

Now, you stay on

because I can't do anything
without my hat.

Oh, no!

Well, what do we
have here?

Somebody
come help me...

Hi, Steve.
I've been thinking.

We never really
had a chance

to get to know
each other.

You know, I'm not
such a bad guy

once you get
to know me.

No...

Here's a question.

If a gardener
with a big mouth

is alone in a field
being tortured

and no one's there
to hear him scream,

does it still hurt?

No! No!

No!

No!

No!

Aah! Urgh!

Looks to me
like a bad hair day.

Mind giving me a hand?

Welcome back.

When do we eat?

You do only what
I tell you to do.

I've waited too long
to get this right.

I know we understand
each other.

Here. Put these on.

In fullbrook,
do you have

a listing
for a Jim Norman?

No, sir, I don't.

How about James?

I have "j" period.

Yes, yes,
of course

I would be
interested

in a "j" period.

There's no need
to get testy, sir.

It's 555-7309.

09. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hello.

Hello. My name
is Jon Porter.

May I please speak
with Jim Norman?

Who is this?

Uh, Jon Porter.

I hope I'm calling
the right number.

Did Jim live in glenrock
for some time?

Yes, he did.

Great. I do have
the right number then.

Is he home?

My husband is dead.

He died
this morning.

I--i see.

I'm so sorry.

Look, look, look,
i--I'm try--

please forgive me
for asking.

I know it's none
of my business,

but had he been ill?

He bled to death.
It was horrible.

I've never seen a body
mangled like that.

There was just
so much blood,

and I really
must say, Jon,

it was some
of my very best work.

In fact...

He's bleeding like
a stuck pig in summertime.

There's no stopping
this heavy flow.

Hello. Gazette.

Yes. I'm trying
to get ahold of some--

of some, uh,
back issues.

Do you have an archives
of some sort?

Well, how far back
you looking to go?

Uh...

About 30 years.

You know, Jon...

It wasn't
very nice of you

to threaten
my pal Tony

with that great big
fire-poker of yours.

That's o.K.

I know
you didn't mean it,

but tell me something.

Have you seen
that poker lately?

I think I stuck it
to Michelle.

Keep them closed.

Now...

Open them.

Happy birthday!

Is this for me?

It is your birthday,
isn't it?

Thanks.

O.k., um...

Yay!

O.k. Now i'm
going to do

your birthday
tarot.

Cut the deck
into three piles
to the left.

Maybe it will
tell us something

about Mr. Sex hunk
from the diner.

This card is your
significator card.

Basically,
it represents you.

These cards
are the past,
the present...

The future.

This card represents
views of others,

and the last card
is the outcome.

O.k.

Go on. Turn it.

Interesting.

What?

The lovers. How come
I never get that one?

Come on.
It's just tarot cards.

Taro.
Taro cards.

Whatever.

Hi, dad.

What's going on here?

They're having
a birthday party
for me.

Who lit the fire?

"A poorly
extinguished fire

is quickly
reignited."

Where the hell's
the poker?

I don't know.
What's the matter
with you?

Nothing like a big, strong man
to stir up a fire.

Would you stop it?

He'd old enough
to be your father.

Great earrings.

Oh, thanks.

Where'd
you get them?

From someone
older than your father.

So, anyone need anything
from the kitchen?

Yeah.

No.

Aah!

Doesn't seem to be
any evidence
in the house.

Really? What do you
call this mess

I just put in the ground?

Well, sir,
I'd call that buried.

Excuse me, but that was
my grandmother's pet,

and somebody killed it
with a fire-poker,

so if you
could find them,
we'd all feel safer.

Here's your evidence.

It's contaminated.

I'm not sure what purpose
it'll serve

covered with
your fingerprints.

This house was
deliberately vandalized.

They left some Mark
in the kitchen.

Which I noticed
you cleaned up.

I want to know
who did this!

I also want a complete
investigation into this

and any connection it might have
to my mother's death.

Do I make myself clear?

Are you suggesting
that Mrs. Porter
was murdered, sir?

I'm suggesting
you look into it.

Commingle the blood

and sacrifice the girl
in her 18th year.

Let life leave her body
at midnight

and eat her
still-beating heart,

thus assuming
the power of the beast.

...out of the mouth
of the beast.

He's come back to finish
what you interrupted, Jon.

Each time he kills,

he can bring back
another of his minions

unless you stop him.

The false prophet

may sever a digit

to keep the latch closed...

Slicing flesh

and spilling blood
on the circle,

desecrating the beast
and sending it back

from whence it came.

Look, weird stuff
happens around here,

like, every day.

One time, we drove
up to the top

of snyder hill
late at night.

It's totally creepy
up there

with that old
train tunnel.

Art...

Streiber.

He had his dad's
brand-new Camaro.

Leather interior.

The most
exciting part
wasn't the sex.

It was doing it
in front of that
tunnel.

I felt like...
Someone was
watching us,

like...someone
I couldn't see.

Speak of the devil.

He's so cute!

I told you
he was going to
come tonight.

Go over there.

Are you crazy?

Do you want me
to show you how?

Watch and learn.

That's a great jacket.

Thanks.

Can I try it on?

Sure.

Styling.

I bet you have
a great car

to go with this
jacket, huh?

Yes, I do.

And I was wondering
if Michelle

would like
to go for a ride.

Ugh.

Feeling better, Jules?

Don't fuck with me.

Where's Michelle?

Michelle left
with Tony.

No. She can't! No.

Well, she already did.

I understand, sir,
how traumatic

this time must be
for you.

It must seem easier
to blame someone

instead of accepting
the circumstances
of the accident.

What the hell
are you guys doing
over there?

Have you found
anything?

Why, yes. The blood
doesn't check out.

What do you mean
it doesn't check out?

There was blood
all over the kitchen.

I realize that,
but according
to our tests,

it wasn't pig blood.

It was human blood.

Human.

It's your mother's
blood, sir.

That can't be.

It could be left
from the accident.

No.

It was fresh.

I saw it.

Did your mother
mention anyone

bothering her
before she died,

anyone who didn't
like her?

No.

Well,
you let me know

if you think
of anything.

Oh...

You're not planning
on leaving town right away,
are you, sir?

No. I'll be here.

Thanks for the coffee.

Facing your deepest
fears, Jon?

Want to know
what happens

to little boys
who poke their noses

where they
don't belong?

Want to know
what happens

when they see things

they're not supposed
to see?

You killed my sister.

Yes!

And I could kill you
right now,

but that would be
too soon.

And I want you
to see it this time

when we do Michelle.

I won't
let that happen.

What are you,
some kind of
tough guy now?

How terrifying.

But you weren't
so tough

when we took care
of your sister, now,
were you, j.J.?

Oh, but you did interfere.

That's why I've been taking
such good care of your family

over the years.

Let's see.

First there was your wife.

Car wreck, wasn't it?

Tell me,
have you ever seen a body

divided so neatly
in half before?

And then dad.

Oh, dear old dad.

Heart attack, right?

Funny how that happens

when you see something
really scary.

Mom. Well...

Mom was the easiest
one of all.

Just set the old bitch up

and knock her down.

Wham bam!

See you later, mom.

I brought you here,
fucker.

Payback is a bitch.

It's just I've never seen
that much blood.

Oh, my god.

Maybe it was just
some kind of accident.

What's going on?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know
who to tell.

My parents
are out of town.
Jules isn't home.

I was going to
call the police--

Maria,
what happened?

We don't know
where Steve is.

I went by the school

and saw Steve's
lawn mower

with blood on it.

Then I found this.

And I found these
all around it.

I found teeth like this
in Tony's jacket pocket

that night
at the diner.

Come on, Jules.
Where are you?

Sucking solo tonight?

Excuse me?

Do you mind
if I sit down?

Um, actually,
I'm waiting
for some...

Friends.

There's no smoking
in here.

Listen...

Why don't we just
get this over with?

I'm sure there's
a cheap motel around here
somewhere.

You're disgusting.

Oh, that's true,

but no one does
the tongue tango

like I do, sweetheart.

Pardon me.

Is this guy
bothering you?

Kind of.

May I?

Hey, pal,

how about taking a walk?

Fuck you.

Wrong answer.

O.k. O.K.

Sorry about that.

Hello. I'm Vinnie.

I'm Maria.

Maria. That's
a beautiful name.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Do you want
to sit down?

Actually, I was
thinking about leaving

in case Romeo
comes back for seconds.

You have
really cute ears.

Oh, yeah?

They're good
to nibble on.

Mmm.

You know,
I have a surprise
for you.

You do?

Mm-hmm.
Close your eyes.

O.k.

Surprise!

Mmm. I almost forgot.

I have a surprise
for you, too.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Now close your eyes.

O.k.

Surprise!

Aah!

I thought you might
need some coffee.

Thanks.

Did you sleep?

I could hear you
walking around.

What's the rifle for?

You know,
you always
made it o.K.

For us to be straight
with each other.

Yeah.

Yeah, well,

I think
it's time for us

to be straight
with each other.

Hello?

I have a package
for Jon Porter.

Hello?

Package for Jon Porter.
I need your signature.

What is it?

I need your signature,
please.

Set it on the porch.
Who's it from?

From your childhood
friends, jonny!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

Oh, that's no way to treat

good old friends, Jon.

You remember Vinnie,
don't you?

And our good buddy Sean.

Ha ha ha ha!

Come near here again,
I'll kill you.

Boys and girls,
we're having a little
party tonight,

and you're both invited.

Catch you later.

Oh! Oh, my god!

What is going on?

Oh, Michelle.

Michelle, I'll
tell you everything.

Who are those guys?

Well, they're not human.

They may have been
human once...

30 years ago.

They're what's left
when the humanity

has been sucked
out of them

and the evil
becomes incarnate.

I won't let them
near Michelle.

"Better is the end
of a thing

than the beginning
thereof."

Let us hope that
ecclesiastes is true.

Can I help you
with something?

No. I just wanted--

we've been getting
complaints

about illicit
activities
around here.

Did you know that?

No. I mean, yes.

I came here
because my friend
is missing.

Her name
is Maria Moore.

I was supposed
to meet her

at the diner
last night.

She wasn't there.
She didn't call.

I can't find her,
and I don't know
what to do.

O.k., honey.
It's o.K.

Come down to the station
and tell us about it.

Let's go.

Do you really think
we'll find her?

Of course
we will, honey.

Let's go.

Would you like
a doughnut?

Sure.

I'm sorry.
Did I say doughnut?

They're tasty
and so good for you.

Ha ha ha ha!

Aah!

I still
don't understand
why we can't leave.

Because they will
follow you!

They already have
the taste for you.

Wait for the sabbath.
That is when
you will strike.

What do we have to do?

Desecrate him
as he has done
unto you.

But first,
you must bring me
something of his...

Something
that he has touched...

Which your sister
also touched

and Michelle
has touched as well,

and you had better
do it soon.

Oh, allow me.

Woo!

No! No!

Uh!

Looks like another
little piggy

tried to get to market.

Seems to me
this little piggy

should have stayed
home today.

Would you like to know

what my tarot cards
have to say?

Leave me alone!

Aah!

Aah!

Help me!

Uh!

Shh!
It's quiet time now.

Where did you put it?

I think
it's in my room!

Hurry!

Within the magic circle,

the false prophet
must sever a digit.

What are you doing?
Let's go.

I can't find it!

What did you do
with it?

I don't know.

Where's
that goddamn thing?

Oh, I got it!

Let's go!

I'll take you down
with me!

Where are we
going, father?

Yeah. Where are you
taking us?

Leave here!

But we just
got here.

What's the matter,
father?

Don't like
what you see?

Dad?

What? Come on, come on!

I can't
go down there again.

Archer!

Archer!

Archer!

Michelle?

Michelle?

Jules?

Michelle,
where are you?

Jules?

Where are you?
You have to
help me.

Jules?

No.

Jules?

No, not Jules.

Aah! Aah!

Disappointed?

Desecrate him
as he has done unto you.

Within the magic circle,

the false prophet
must sever a digit

to keep
the latch closed.

Dad? This is Tony.

I want you
to see it this time,

when we do Michelle.

I'm sending it back
from whence it came.

Give me your hands.

Bleed for daddy.

Oh...oh...

No!

No!

Bitch.

Aah!

Don't you want to bleed
for daddy, too?

Get away from me!

No!

Yes!

Guns are not allowed.

Scared, Jon?

Hard admitting it
to yourself,
isn't it?

Aah!

No!

Get away from her!

Shut up.

Chain him.

Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!

Michelle!

You're mine now, bitch.

Not this time.

Hey!

Aah!aah!aah!

Die...
You miserable fuck!

Catch you later.

Michelle!

Oh!

Good-bye, j.J.

What is it?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Well, I'm not
as afraid

of the dark
as I have been.

Can you think of
why that might be?

Not exactly.

I--i guess it's about
realizing what it is

that I'm really
afraid of,

like if I'm afraid
to talk to Julia.

What I'm really
afraid of

is that
she'll laugh at me

and make me feel
like a jerk.

Can she do that?

No. I do that
to myself, I guess.

Good. Good.

I've been
thinking a lot
about what you said.

Sometimes the hardest part
is admitting to yourself

that something exists

which makes you
frightened.

Is everything o.K.?

Yeah.

Everything is fine.

Ha ha!
I'm back again.
