and I'll start running. To come help right? Of course. To come help. [quietly]

Renee? Renee? Ren-- [] [quietly]

Dammit. [] FATHER: My dearest Summer,

why aren't you in bed? Daddy...? Where the hell

is she going? [] [] [] [] [door opening] [distant clock chiming] Sorry, I was look-- ...looking for a friend. You are real. And you're a man. Are you a prince? A prince...?

No, I'm Jason. Prince Jason? No... Just Jason. Oh. Well then,

Just Jason... I am Princess Summer Vale. Huntress of Demons... Warrior of Worlds. The Scourge... of the Sinful. And what may I ask are

you doing in my bedroom? Your bedroom? This is YOUR bedroom? Yes... At one point it was... I can't believe

I'm back. Back? From where? A world very different

from this one. One of magic and

mystery and... It's a long story. That's okay. I like stories. Good... ...Just Jason. Me too. You've been fighting

those things since you were

a little girl? I have been fighting them for as long as

I can remember. Are there others like

you where you come from? Like me? No. I am the

only Princess. And the monsters? The Kelippoth. Of the Sitra Achra. There are hundreds

where I come from. Jesus Christ, how

did you ever survive? By the grace of God. My father. Who art in heaven. Holy is his name. Thy...

Thy... Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done? You know the words? Yes. You will teach

the words to me? You will help me remember

the words of my father? Yes. You are a prince. Just Jason... At your service. Summer, I need your

help with something. I don't understand. Are you not a man? Well, yeah... Then why would

you need my help? Um... okay... you mean like a man-man. How do I say this? I'm still very much

into the ladies, but also in touch with

my sensitive side... you know like hair

products... things like this. Okay...

I need your help. Getting back to it, I'm

looking for someone. Her name is Renee and she-- [loud commotion] Oh my God!

What's wrong? Make it stop!

How? Summer, please. Tell me how

to help you. Whatever's doing this

to me is outside. Follow the river... Okay... Okay. I'm going to go find

whatever's doing this to you and I'm going to make it stop. Please Jason. Help me. I will. I promise. I'll be right back. [loud cry] [woman crying] Renee? Are you okay? I did this.

It's all my fault. It's all my fault. What are you talking about? I was stupid. I'm so sorry. Marlene... Oh my God, Marlene! She's dead... That thing

ripped her apart! Renee... calm down. It's alright. It's alright... It's alright?

Marlene's okay? No... Marlene is still dead.

But... Oh my God... Renee, you have to tell me

what the hell is going on. The girls and I... We were just fooling around. We wanted to do some magic. We wanted to talk to

a little dead girl. And instead we brought

that monster here. We brought him here, Jason! Do you hear me? We brought him here! Little dead girl? Summer Vale. She died twenty years ago. Are you sure? Oh Jason, what are

we going to do? Is this the book? Yeah, and I thought

that if I read from it I could send the monster

back to wherever it came from. The Kellipoth. The what? Come on.

We have to go. Go where? Let's go. You can't read from

this book anymore, okay. You're hurting her. Hurting who? What are

you talking about? Summer. Summer Vale.

She's not dead. She's... in the bed. We... And then she... Let me show you. There is a girl Renee,

you have to believe me. She's right... She was right here. Jason... RICK:

I always consider myself

to be a manly guy. I work out regular. Enjoy the odd porn. Work hard. Play hard. Figured that when

push came to shove, I'd stand up. Stay strong.

[sigh] Be a hero. [twig snaps, loon calls] Jay? Renee? Anybody? Ricky, keep it together man. [sigh]

Some hero you turned out to be. [groan] Jasmine! Hey... Hey... We were worried

sick about you. Jason? No. It's Ricky. Here...

Try to sit up. Drink some water. Thanks Ricky. Yeah.

You okay? Ricky... Yeah? I'm hot. Oh my god,

Summer! Please... Don't hurt me. Please God... She must pay for what

she's done to me. Princess...

Please... She didn't know

what she was doing. And evidently neither do I. I'm sorry... I didn't know... I thought you were dead. We were given a book and told

we could contact a little girl who died years ago. Who gave you the book? Yeah... Who gave you

the book, Renee? Tell her who gave

you the book! A man who runs a bookstore.

He gave it to me. He told me everything!

I swear. Oh god, please.

I'm so sorry. You okay? [] [] It was my father's book. This was my father's study... Are you sure? There's an inscription... From my mother. He was translating

a passage when... Princess...

what happened? I can not remember. I can not remember anything... I am Princess Summer Vale. Huntress of... Warrior of... Warrior of Worlds. Scourge of the Sinful. Thank you. You're welcome. We're gonna figure this

whole thing out Princess. Summer! I think I know

what's going on. My dreams and everything. How dare you speak to me

like a common peasant! Disrespectful. I apologize for her stupidity. Your Highness. I believe I have

dreamt of you before. Yeah... Me too. What kind of dreams? Yeah, Renee... what kind of dreams? Well, they weren't

dreams at all. They were your

lost memories. I was hand picked to

make contact with you. There is some

connection between us. Tell me what you know. They ran tests on you. And they were

torturing you. I can not remember... I can not remember that. I mean... What do you

remember, Princess? I remember I was

being chased. Then there was a

bright flash and... The next thing I remember was saving your life

from the Kellipoth. Have I thanked

you for that yet? I don't think so. Thank you. And before that? Before that...

I... Why can't I remember? Princess... Let me try to

help you remember. Thank you. Now give me your hands. And close your eyes... [clatter] Jason! Sorry. Carry on. Summer... Listen to the

sound of my voice. You are in

a safe place. It is only us... And we are one... [indistinct voices] [battlecry] Yours forever, Maria. A noise. Daddy! Summer! [scream] Daddy... Help! Noooooooo! Daddy... Summer... I'm so sorry. It will work. We can send us back. What? I know... We can't send you back. You don't even know

what happened to you! I know enough. Renee, what is

she talking about? We go back

to the campsite and arm ourselves with

whatever we can find. We read from the book,

open the portal, and send the demon back. It's going to work. Then what? Then we make our final stand. [loud scream] Summer! Renee... Stop it! I'm not doing anything! My back. There's something's

in my back. It hurts. What's inside of me? There's something's

under your skin. It's glowing. Cut it out. You have to cut it out of me! -Do it!

-Okay. Oh, Ricky... Thanks for taking

care of me. You're such a big,

strong man. No problem Jazzy. Anything for a friend.

You know that. Look at

these things... I'll bet you could hold a

woman down if you wanted to. Yeah, I probably could. And she couldn't get up
