Gate 2: The Trespassers

---

There it is.

Glen's old house.

I've been staring at it

for two solid years.

Dad...

I know I haven't

talked to you much

about what happened there.

You wouldn't believe most of it.

No one does.

I thought I'd be totally

freaked out by it.

But I wasn't.

As a matter of fact,

I couldn't stop

thinking about it.

It was the most exciting thing

that ever happened to me.

It's hard to believe the world

almost ended here on our block.

The problem wasn't

that we opened the gate.

That we summoned

the ancient demons.

The problem was

that we didn't do it right.

Dad, I... I know this is hard

for you to understand,

but I have to go back tonight.

I'm doing it for us, both of us.

It's the only answer.

Just trust me.

You're the only one

who understands.

The only one that I can talk to.

Hey. Who won.

Baltimore.

Oh.

Test, one, two, three.

Lapis lazuli.

Offering bowl.

Bread.

Wheat.

Ceremonial dagger.

Picture of Dad.

I call upon the old gods

to take pity on this conjuror,

to protect this traveler

into darkness.

That they may know me

and make upon the ground

this sign.

I call the seven spirits

of the cosmos

to speak my command

that the sentinels appear

before me.

Appear before me, sentinels,

that you may bring the power

of the Unholy Trinity.

Rise up.

Rise up.

Rise up!

Be thee... Be thee sentinel,

watcher or minion

of the Dark Lord,

you now serve this voyager.

What the hell's this?

It's a nice outfit,

isn't it, Moe?

Oh yeah, yeah,

it's real sharp.

I wonder how it'd look on me.

I think you'd look like

a million bucks, John.

Don't break the circle.

- Why?

- You'll contaminate it.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

you better be careful, John

or he might sic Satan on you.

Ooh, I'm scared.

This isn't Satanism. This is

something else, isn't it?

Yeah, it's demonology.

Satanism's for pussies.

Yeah, I knew it was something

like that,

the circle and the symbols...

The symbols are Sumerian

- but the circles more of a...

- What are you talking about?

Demonology.

Only the oldest and most

powerful religion on the Earth.

Evil against evil.

Interdimensional contact with

beings so old and so powerful

they could snuff you

without even thinking about it.

Beings whose power can be used

for anything you want.

Anything.

I'm not just

screwing around here.

I'm touching the infinite.

Yeah. I've heard of this.

Hmm.

You can't just wish for

something you think you'd like.

Demons don't like

to be jerked around.

If you're gonna wish

for something,

it has to be

your heart's desire.

This is bullshit.

Let's go cruise.

Come on, John,

just do whatever he says, man.

Terry, his name's Terry.

Right?

Terrence.

This is stupid. Let's go.

John, please?

There, is that okay, Terrence?

So now we burn them.

- Here.

- No! No! No.

It's like this.

Oh.

Everybody.

Okay.

I summon thee by fire,

minions of darkness.

Fire is the pure,

swift courier of our dreams.

Harken to them...

and bring the power

of the dark lords to bear.

I command it.

- Wow.

- How the hell'd you do that...?

Shh.

That's beautiful.

- Hey, what is that, man?

- Shh.

I call upon the minions

of the dark lords

to take shape on this plane,

to answer my call.

Now.

Harken to the pulse of blood.

Open the gate to enter

the world of the living.

I offer the gift of death...

that thou may know me.

Ya p*ssy.

All right, ya demons,

you're dealing with John

Thompson Starkey now.

By the power of this dumb rat,

and all this other sh*t,

let's see some action.

Hamster sushi, anybody?

You see,

I told you this was bullshit.

What are you doing?

Are you nuts?

You stupid idiot!

Whoa! What is that smell?

Jesus, it smells

like a goddamn sewer!

The dead!

That's the smell of the dead!

It's working!

Oh, nacho cheese

buggering Christ!

I'm not supposed to get excited!

Stay inside the circle!

Whoa!

It's the other side!

Wow.

Whoa! That was amazing, man!

Sh*t.

John, I think you're right man,

we should've gone cruising.

Look at that!

Who wished for this?

Excuse me, but is this supposed

to be happening?

Back up! Stay inside the circle.

Don't let it touch you.

Holy Jesus!

No!

Hey look, man, it's gone!

You can't just shoot them.

Don't you know what you're

dealing with here? You a**hole.

You little rat-faced turd.

- I just saved our asses.

- John?

You almost got us killed.

It's you who's the a**hole.

Say it, rat boy.

Say, "I'm the a**hole."

Say it!

I'm the a**hole.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Terr...

Terry?

Terry?

Terry?

- Good morning.

- Hi, Dad.

What, did you join a gang?

You've got an interview?

Yep.

- Where is it?

- Guess?

Well, I don't know. Continental?

No.

- Coastal?

- No.

Dad, not that Charter

place, right? Not Dan...?

No.

Well...

where?

Pan Atlantic.

They want me back.

It's gonna be different

this time, Terry.

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna get it.

Everything's gonna be great.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Good luck, Dad.

Average number of days

in frost-free periods...

Terrence?

Terrence?

Detention.

What?

That's one through, uh...

Chandler,

what are you doing here?

We don't get many honor students

down here in the dungeon.

Just tell me the chapters.

You think maybe you and your dad

should come in for a conference?

Just tell me the chapters.

One through six.

Take a seat.

Keep it quiet.

So, what'd you wish for?

That's okay, I don't want

to tell mine either.

That was totally legit

last night.

I told John he was an a**hole

for shooting the manion.

Minion.

Say, where'd he get

a gun anyway?

His father's.

Figures.

Sometimes he's such a toad.

He doesn't understand

anything spiritual.

Spiritual resonance.

You've got it, I can tell.

You have the look.

Shut up.

We really did touch

the infinite, didn't we?

You really liked it?

Yeah. I wanna come over to your

house and scope out your stuff.

Um... So, what'd you wish for?

Um... Uh, okay,

I wished I would meet

my true love.

I thought you were

John's girlfriend.

I am.

Um, no thanks, man,

not when I'm working.

Okay.

When are you gonna be a man

and quit this stupid job?

No way, man.

They're gonna

put me on forklift next month.

Good career move.

- Give me one of those.

- No, man. Get out of here.

Come on, just let me try one.

Come on, be real. They don't

get you high or nothing.

I need 'em.

They're for my heart, man.

My heart, oh, my heart.

So, what'd you wish for, man?

What'd you wish for?

A bigger dick?

Aliens, man.

I wanna meet aliens.

You know, UFOs?

Get picked up,

go into space, man.

They probably wanna hear about

what was going down on Earth.

They might even fix my heart.

Wishes are bullshit.

How can a guy with a hole

in his heart believe in wishes?

Yeah.

I guess you're right, man.

Aliens.

So, what'd you wish for?

All right.

If you're gonna go for it,

go all the way, right?

- Yeah.

- What difference does it make?

I wanna be king of the world.

Oh, good luck for you, man.

It's healed.

Terry.
