(Robbie) Come on, Carol Anne,

it's raining!

Come on! What's wrong?

He is with us now and then...

Carol Anne, come on, let's go!

- Mom! Dad!

- ... as we call upon

His name

Aiding every good endeavour

Guiding us...

Honey, come inside!

You're getting soaked!

Come on, sweetie.

(E Buzz barks)

- Can we help you?

- Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

That is possible.

I get around. I love getting around!

Love talkin' to people...

even on a rainy day!

(whimpers)

Huh! Dog's sheddin'.

Hi!

- Hi.

- I saw you at the shopping mall.

Sure you did!

I remember your little angel here.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Henry Kane.

Mom!

You know, I gotta tell ya, we've had

enough of door-to-door salesmen.

Reverend Kane.

What I sell... is free!

Mind if I come in...

and talk to you about it?

Mom, I don't feel well.

You know, I gotta...

Maybe we'll just talk from here, all right?

Come inside, baby. I want to take

your temperature. Come on, Robert.

I'm glad we have this opportunity to talk

with your family out of the way.

Because I believe

you have a problem here.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

I believe... there's an Indian

livin' here with you?

Taylor.

So that's what he calls himself now.

- You are in danger!

- What do you mean?

I'm with an organisation

whose concern is families like your own.

Families in crisis...

...that are preyed upon by charlatans

with fake magic and false solutions!

N-Now, I don't expect you

to believe me now.

But let me come in

and talk to you about it.

I don't know. This is crazy, this is nuts.

Please! Open your heart and your mind

to what I am saying!

He is dangerous!

(ghostly voice) Please!

- (ghostly voice) Please!

- (moaning)

I can see that he has

a strong hold on this family.

Who do your wife and children turn to

with their problems?

They turn to him. Now, don't they?

They don't... trust you... any more.

What you fear...

...is that you're not man enough...

...to hold this family... together.

H-H-How do you know?

Because...

...l'm smart...

...and I'm your friend.

And I know... what you are thinking.

How?

Now... let me in.

And let's talk about it.

Let... me... in!

(whispers) You're my friend?

Let me in!

(Carol Anne) Daddy!

Now! Before it's too late!

- (whispers) No.

- You're gonna die in there!

All of you! You are gonna die-e-e-e!

Get the hell outta here!

Sorry to see...

...you're still unconvinced.

A pleasure visiting with you.

As we call upon his name

- Aiding every good endeavour

- (thunder)

Guiding us...

- (thunderclap)

- ... with every aim

You did good.

Who... was that?

That was him.

Him?

What are you talking about?

He was testing your power.

He comes in many forms,

but that was him.

Now you're hooked(!)

- You're on the path of a warrior.

- Hooked?

Hey, wait. Taylor,

what are you talking about?

Your confrontation with him

was a drain on your power.

We don't have much time.

We must prepare.

Prepare?

Oh, God!

Tequila. To kill ya!

You want a hit?

No. I used to drink. I had to give it up.

Bad dreams.

You see somethin'?

No.

(whispers) What are you doing?

Seeking power.

Me too.

You feel like a leaf at the mercy

of the wind, don't you?

Yep.

That's right. That's me.

Since the day you were born,

one way or another...

...someone has been

doing something to you.

No, I don't... I don't think that's true.

And they've been doing something

to you against your will.

And now you're feeling helpless...

like a leaf in the wind.

Taylor, it would help me out a lot...

...if you'd just say what's on

your mind so I could understand it.

You understand me.

No matter how much you like

to feel sorry for yourself...

...you have to change that.

I'm a warrior.

A warrior would rather

be defeated and die...

...than act against his nature.

That is the path

you've chosen to take...

...whether you know it or not.

You should assume full responsibility.

Responsibility for what?

Responsibility for everything.

Everything in your world.

Come on, Robbie.

You're supposed to clean your braces

and come downstairs now!

Shut up, jerko. I'm doing it, OK?

Don't OK me!

You're a pest! You know that?

- Don't do that.

- I didn't do anything!

You're such an infant.

- Ready? Where's Robbie?

- He says he's coming.

- OK.

- Kiss Katrina, too.

- Good night, girls.

- Good night.

Rob! Come on!

- Good night, sweet pea.

- Good night, Daddy.

Oh, the telephone!

Hello?

Yes.

OK. Dad, it's for you.

Oh, maybe it's the insurance company.

- (Steven chuckles)

- With good news(!)

Hello?

(Kane) Die!

Uhhh!

(screams)

- (Robbie) Mom!

- Oh, my God!

Stay here, baby!

- Robbie!

- (screaming)

We're coming, baby!

- Rob!

- Rob!

Robbie!

- Dad, help me!

- (Steven) Robbie!

Taylor!

- Help us!

- (Steven shouts) Taylor!

Please!

Help! Taylor!

Taylor!

- Hold tight, Robbie!

- Mom!

The plug! Diane, the plug!

- No!

- Grab it!

(voices laugh maniacally)

(Steven) Get out. Get out!

Taylor! Taylor, where the hell were you?

We're not safe here any more,

my son almost dies and you sit here!

I was protecting Carol Anne.

It's her he's after. Not Robbie.

Not you or Diane.

Carol Anne.

Why the hell won't you leave us alone?!

(Robbie) Dad!

(Kane)

You can't keep her! I am not dead!

He's still here.

He feels she belongs to him.

But why?

I'm not sure, but he's used to

getting what he wants.

Taylor...

...who is he? What is he?

He's a man filled with a demon...

...lost in a dimension

that surrounds our world.

This entity believes that his world

and ours are the same.

But why doesn't he know he's dead?

- Because he isn't.

- How can that be?

Nothing really dies.

Like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly...

...death only transforms us

into another state of being.

This man was evil...

...and his soul remains evil because

he chooses not to see the light...

...and pass on to

a different consciousness.

- How are we gonna fight this thing?

- Until we learn how to defeat him...

...we do not let him win.

That's a helluva plan. That's a lot of crap!

- I suppose you have a plan.

- That's a lot of crap!

Listen... don't come apart now.

This spirit is very clever.

He knows your strength is your love...

...and he hates you for that.

He's been trying to pull this family apart.

And he will continue to try.

If he succeeds...

...he will possess Carol Anne...

...and destroy your spirit.

(eagle calls)

(knock at door)

(knock at door)

(knock at door)

Hi!

Tangina!

- Hi, Diane.

- What are you doing here?

Sorry to come unannounced, sweetie,

but I need to speak with you.

- Oh, I'm glad to see you!

- Oh, good!

Cos we're runnin' out of time.

Mm-hm. Below the old cemetery...

...what seems to be a tomb

with many bodies in it.

Directly below your house.

Who are they?

The researchers don't know

who these people were.

There are no marked graves.

There are, however,

records of a religious sect...

...that mysteriously disappeared.
