One Dark Night Page #2

All I ever hear is

"Julie's such a nice girl,

"Julie's such a nice girl."

- What's wrong with that?

- You don't understand.

- [Steve] Oh, hey

Julie, where you going?

- [Julie] I'm

going to walk home!

- Julie! Julie! Julie!

(solemn music)

- Allan.

Allan.

- [Allan] I'll handle this.

Can I help you?

- Are you Olivia Raymar?

- I'm Olivia McKenna.

- But Karl Raymar is

or was, your father?

- What do you want here?

- Mrs. McKenna, my name

is Samuel Dockstader

and I'm a feature writer

for The World Of The Occult.

I wanna talk to you,

concerning your father.

- All right fella,

get off my property.

I'm not gonna ask again.

- [Olivia] No Allan,

it's all right.

- I was once very

close with him.

- Oh please, please come in.

- What your father did Olivia,

was due to an obsession

with his work.

- His work?

- Do you know anything

about bio-energy?

It's the electromagnetic

force in all living things.

It can be photographed

with Kirlian photography.

Every living thing contains

bio-energy in varied degrees.

- Allan.

- I don't see how

that means anything.

- When I first met

your father Olivia,

I was very overwhelmed

with his ability

to move objects with his mind.

Karl Raymar was one

of the only true

practitioners of

telekinesis in the world.

- But I was raised by my

family to believe that he was--

- He was a fake.

No, no, your father was no fake,

he was a genius in

his field until ...

- What?

- There is a phenomenon, it's

called psychic vampirism.

Have you ever known

anyone who's left you

feeling physically

drained of energy?

- Yes.

- Most people who

are psychic vampires

and do this to you

don't even recognize it.

Raymar found that he could drain

the bio-energy from

things and then use

that power to move,

or levitate, objects.

(Allan laughing)

- You mean that my father

drained those girls of life?

- He didn't mean to.

He would pick up a

hitchhiker and then

take them to his apartment.

He would there frighten his

victim to an incredible degree.

Then he would drain the energy

from the adrenaline

that he had stimulated.

He wouldn't listen to me,

it was a negative energy

that he was dealing with

and valuable power

is what killed him.

- Oh brother.

- Olivia.

Your father allowed

himself to die.

Listen to this in private.

The tapes from my

research associate,

he conducted some

studies with your father.

(80s rock music)

- [Carol] Mom, can you get that?

- [Carol's Mom] Why can't you?

- Mom, please.

- [Carol's Mom] All

right, all right!

- [Steve] Is Carol home?

- [Carol's Mom] She's upstairs.

I thought we weren't gonna

be seeing you anymore, Steve.

- [Steve] I just need to talk

to her for a minute, please.

- [Carol's Mom] All

right, but don't be long.

She still has to

do her homework.

- She still has to

do her homework.

(Steve knocking)

Hi, Steve. What a surprise.

- Yeah, I'm sure it is.

- [Carol] Well,

what's the matter?

- Oh, knock it off, I'm

fed up with your games.

Now if you're mad

about our breakup,

you take it out on me.

- Steve, I have

nothing against you.

I really wish it coulda

worked out between us.

- But since it didn't, you

started taking it on Julie.

- Julie's wanted to be in

The Sisters for a long time.

- [Steve] Oh, right.

- She has to go

through initiation

just like anybody would

who wants to join.

- Carol, how dumb

do you think I am?

I know The Sisters

consist of you three.

- We're expanding.

- Listen, I don't

wanna hear anymore

about any initiations,

is that clear?

Now, you understand me?

Well, I gotta go, I got

basketball practice.

- Steve, I miss you.

- Your mom's downstairs.

- I don't care.

I wanna be with you again,

I'll do anything you want.

She wouldn't do that for you.

- [Steve] I gotta go.

(motorcycle revving)

- Mom?

Hello.

I'll be gone till Sunday night,

don't forget to clean the oven.

Great.

Wells residence.

- Wells residence.

- [Julie] Hi Carol.

- Are you ready for your

final test, soon-to-be Sister?

- Sure.

- [Carol] Good, I'll

be over in 20 minutes.

Oh, and bring a sleeping bag,

it's gonna be an all nighter.

See ya.

(suspenseful music)

(car horn honking)

- [Kitty] She said

she was coming.

- [Carol] That's what she said.

(car horn honking)

- [Carol] Come on!

- What is that girl doing now?

- Hi, here's my sleeping

bag, I guess I'm all set.

- Oh, and so are we.

Get in the back, girl.

- [Julie] Okay.

- Hi.

- Boy, do you want

one of these, huh?

- Yeah, that would be great.

- Well, after tonight,

you could have one.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- (laughing) Okay.

- Let's book up.

(wheels screeching)

(car horn honking)

- What's the big rush?

- I wanna get there before

it closes, nerdle-brain.

- Nerdle-Brain, very nice.

- Hey, where's Steve tonight?

- I don't know, basketball

practice I guess.

- [Carol] Have

you talked to him?

- No.

- Good.

- Where are we going?

- Oh, um,

you'll see, just relax okay?

(ominous music)

- Olivia, look what

you're doing to yourself.

You're all worked up over

this Dockstader character.

Forget him, will you dear?

He's a kook, it's plain

and simple, Olivia.

How could you have

believed anything he said?

He's just some nut.

- I don't think he is, Allan.

I have a very strong

feeling about those dreams

I've been having

again, those images.

- Don't start with

that ESP crap again.

You promised you'd

stop all of that.

We've been through this before.

Look, I'm sorry I was

rude to Dockstader,

but all of that Raymar.

- He was my father!

- [Allan] I'm sorry, okay?

- All my life, he

stayed away from me.

Allan.

- Oh, where's that deposition?

I wish you'd tell me

what's really wrong.

- Nothing.

- [Allan] You're so quiet.

- I was just thinking.

I'm all right, really.

(suspenseful music)

- So I'm supposed to

stay out here all night?

(Sisters laughing)

- Now come on, Julie.

How mean do you think we are?

It's cold and damp

out here at night.

- You mean I'm not

staying out here.

- Of course not, you're

staying in there.

- [Julie] Mausoleum?

- Uh-huh.

(suspenseful music)

Here you go.

After tonight, you'll

be an official Sister.

- You ain't scared, are you?

- No, I was just thinking--

- Liar.

- Hey, we've been generous.

We could've made you

spend the night out here

with the worm-infested bodies.

- [Sisters] But no.

- You'll be safe and warm,

locked in, protected inside.

Also, it's a higher

class of people in there.

We figured you'd

appreciate that.

- And here, here's some downers.

Now, if you can't go to sleep,

you just take a couple of those,

they'll put you right out.

They're just so that you

don't think you hear things.

- Sister, are we making

this easy for you?

Oh, and here's a flashlight.

- I say she doesn't wanna do it.

- Course she does, she

wants to be a Sister.

(Kitty laughing)

- She ain't going in,
