Please, there's no one there.

I think I better go.

- Yes, I think that would be best.

Hey, Chris!

- Don't follow her, she's a sick girl.

No, she needs my help.

- Let her go.

Wait!

What's the matter?

Look, I did what you said!

I killed that little kitty.

You're so full of sh*t!

These are illusive and powerful forces,

we are dealing with.

There are no guarantees!

You speak directly to the black spirit.

You must dissuade it from taking

your soul.

And soon.

I know someone who could help us.

And I'm supposed to trust you?

Tomorrow is the third day.

After that Lamia will come after you.

We can't let that happen!

But you must understand...

the woman who can help us,

..must herself at great risk.

She will not do that for free.

What you need from me?

$10,000...cash.

By tomorrow.

Mr. Jacks?

Ya.

This is kinda awkward of me

And I know it's not officially apt.

But I was wondering if I could get an

advance for the new position.

- What the..the Asst. Manager's position?

- Yes. See one of my family members

is really sick.

They're not gonna die..but they could..

- Christine..Christine!

There is a problem.

The McPherson deal was cancelled

last night.

- What?

Ya.

Right after I informed the Regional Office that

we had this big loan handing..

I find out, they just made the deal over,

with First National!

I gotten into a call to see what

excatly happened..but...

Right now, this does not look too good

for you or for me.

So this Asst. Manager's promotion

has been delayed.

Infact you know, I think with everything

that's been happening,

I think, I'm gonna have to give

this job to Stu.

Stu...?

I see.

I'm sorry, look,

if you got family problems...

may be you should take the day off,

sort them out and...

So, how much?

$3800 for everything.

- Including my jewellery?

- Including!

But this stuff is worth so much

more than that!

Please?

This is all I have, I'm begging you.

Take it or leave it!

Chris?

Chris...?

Baby?

I thought, you relax for sometime, alright?

I'm...thought I screwed it,

I'm eating ice cream.

I paid Rham Jas.

- What?

You kidding me?

I paid him.

- Why? I mean,

I thought that you didn't beleive.

I..I don't know

what I beleive in anymore.

I really don't...but..

I know you beleive in this

I know, how important is this

to you and...

..I know how much pain this is

causing you.

And, uhh...and also remembered,

I remember a promise that I made,

That I fell in love with you.

I told myself that..I would...

I would always look out for you

and always would take care of you.

So, I paid him.

You remember the night,

you fell in love with me?

I rememeber, every second of that.

Oh, my God.

You sure, you don't want me to

go in with you?

- He said, I should come alone.

- Yeah, I know-I know,

he told me the same thing.

Christine, if you would be,

the pleasure with introduction,

Shaun San Dena!

Welcome!

- How do you do?

Shaun San Dena's a experienced medium

By the more, she's personally even

touched the Lamia!

I first encountered this spirit,

many years ago...

..in this very house.

And..what happened?

- I lost a young boy's soul...

..to the beast!

I have waited, these long years,

..for a chance at redeeming myself.

A chance to destory the foul thing.

And...

It's time to go,

Please?

Tonight,

my chance will come!

But to summon it,

I will need your help.

Can you be strong?

- I will try.

My late hushand, Sandok,

was also a medium.

He choose this site to build the house

upon because..

..he felt, certain forces of the

world are here.

At this place, there is a particular..

confluence...

A particular confluence of forces which...

..allows a doorway to be opened through

which we may pass.

And through which,

others may pass into our world.

Please, be seated.

What's going on?

- Everything we doing is for your own good.

Please...

Christine..

please.

Thank you.

Holy Spirit...

Bless us!

Once the spirit has entered me,

put my hand upon the animal.

Do you understand?

- Yes.

I'll force the spirit of Lamia,

into the goat.

Milos, that's when you strike.

- Yes, I'll do that.

You strike it hard!

I understand.

We all must be receptive!

What am I supposed to do?

You must allow the darkness in!

You must invite the dead,

to come into your spirit!

I'm scared!

- Yes.

Now, repeat these words.

I welcome the dead...

into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

- You must beleive it!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

We're waiting holy spirits,

are you with us?

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my soul!

I welcome the dead into my..

Something else is here with us.

Yes.

It is not Lamia!

It is...

The spirit of someone..

Lost it's soul...

..from years ago.

Sometimes they settle once

and linger by the door!

There are others here, as well.

Speak out, spirit!

Speak out!

He is coming!

He now inhibits the body of

Shaun San Dena!

Lamia-a-a-a-a!

Lamia, what is it,

you desire?

I desire, the soul of Christine Brown!

We will feast upon it,

while she festers in the grave!

No, it was my manager Jim Jacks,

He was the one...

Silence!

Lamia, sure you can be dissuaded from taking

this insignificant woman.

Sure, she is not worthy of her greatness!

No!

I come for you, Christine.

You are mine!

No...you tricked me,

you black-hearted who-o-o-o-ore!

Now, Milos...now!

You b*tch-h-h!

Away, I say, evil spirit!

Lamia!

I was the one who summoned you,

into this circle.

I command you to leave,

this instance!

She has great chest!

Christine-e-e-e!

I don't want your cat,

you dirty, little whore queen!

Shaun San Dena!

You must banish the spirit!

Yes.

Milos?

Oh, my God!

I'm ok.

- My God.

I'm ok.

- Oh, my God.

You did it.

- Thank, God.

I tried...

- Are you ok?

Oh, my God!

Help me!

Call the ambulance.

Is she breathing?

- No!

Oh, God.

It's so sad.

- Yes.

It's strange, how things work out.

She waited 40 years for another chance,

to overcome the Lamia.

And finally, on the last night of her life,

she did!

No, I'm afraid you misunderstand!

Lamia cannot be banished by a medium.

This is our lesson, tonight!

I'm sorry.

But I saw her get rid of that thing.

- No, you saw her drive it from the seance.

That is all.

He will be back.

The goat was never slaughtered.

This night is through...

Lamia will come for the owner of

the cursed object.

Unless, ofcourse,

if you're no longer the owner.

Here, the button.

Give a gift to, then

you have given the curse away.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

Because Lamia will tear the soul of

whoever you give that to.

They'll burn in hell for eternity.

And I would have send them there!

- I, your accomplice!
