that the Church

kept on staff.

This is what Edward

Norberg was convinced attacked him.

"Corrigia.

"Latin origin

of the word 'scourge. '

"The creature's quest

to procreate is without equal.

"It will consume the innards

"of as many as 6 to 9 human,

before reaching a size,

allowing it to self-propagate. "

I'll be back to

take your order.

Wow.

I'm sorry. She just

might have recognized you.

That's better.

Coming through! Press!

Make way, boys.

Oh, what have

we got here?

Oh, nice.

I'm making a

living, bub.

Those are the remains

of a friend of mine.

Oh. Oh.

Who was it?

That was

Sheriff Ty Durst,

a legend in this town.

He was killed while

in pursuit of a murder suspect.

That is a terrible shame.

I appreciate

your cooperation.

Oh, hey,

you got it, Officer.

Well, keep it together.

- Is this for real?

- These things

infested parts

of the Old World.

They used electricity

to get it out of people.

The Taser gun.

You're genius.

Well, it took you long

enough to notice.

This shows how

to capture it.

"The scourge

has few weaknesses

such as deathly aversion

to alcohol. "

The wine at the church.

What?

"In all my research

"I have found

no documented method

"of killing the creature.

"The death of

the possessed body

"means nothing,

as it will retreat inside,

using it as a shield. "

This rules out drowning,

even fire.

Even fire?

Oh, my God.

Ladies.

Oh!

Oh, yeah.

Smile for me, baby.

Smile.

Oh, man.

Oh, you are so pretty.

What the hell?

Oh, my God!

Did you see that?

Hey!

- Hey!

- Hey!

Come, on guys,

I got rights now.

I'm an American.

No, no, no!

This guy

was here before!

Get off, off, off!

I want your badge numbers!

- I will sue you all!

- Calm down!

Is this the guy

from Interpol?

Show me the body.

Taxi!

Come on.

Should we call somebody?

Who do you think

is gonna believe our story?

I hardly believe

our story.

It's been seven bodies

now, Jess.

We give up now,

that thing,

it's gonna be free

to multiply.

So what, then?

We have to get it

out of him ourselves.

The way to do it...

is all right here.

You still have the key

to the old lady's coach house?

Okay.

We're in business.

Hmm.

- Jess?

- He's still in the bar.

I've been keeping watch.

You sure this is how

you want to do this?

You have any better ideas,

please let me know.

So, what do you think?

Wow.

Let's do this.

This guy doesn't

have much time.

Give me more nuts!

Hey. A beer, please.

And a bourbon straight.

Thank you.

It's taken care of.

It's not gonna happen.

Again, the same.

Hi.

How are you doing tonight?

A whole lot better.

How about you?

Not too good, fat man.

Heh.

What could possibly

be wrong in your world?

See him?

That's my boyfriend.

He's been cheating on me

with that wench for weeks.

Treated me like dirt

for years.

Tonight it ends.

Really?

Tonight...

I'm gonna teach him

a lesson.

I'm going to sleep with

the fattest, ugliest man

in this bar.

Namely you.

How about it?

Always happy to help

a damsel in distress.

Okay, let's go then.

What, now?

It's now or never,

big boy.

Oh, now, now.

Uh-

Just one thing.

Can I...

...take pictures?

Even better.

Wait, wait, wait.

You already have

a hotel room?

You really are something.

You have no idea.

Oh, man.

Damn. Low light in here.

Hang on just a second,

sweetheart.

Nice.

What's with the chair?

Sit down. Find out.

All right.

Hang on a second.

I'll be right back.

Oh, okay.

God, he stinks.

Are you ready?

Just about.

What?

You're hammered.

Pretty much.

I need his

undivided attention.

Ah.

Whoa, what's with

the rope?

I don't do rope.

We either do it my way,

or I go out there

and I find someone else.

Rope is good.

I do rope.

Good.

You know,

it's just that I've-

It's never been done

to me before.

- There's something inside you,

- Uh-huh.

and it needs to come out.

Oh, yeah.

I so need a shower.

What?

Hey.

Lady, hey! Hello.

Aww, no, no.

Come on! No!

I'm getting rolled here!

Help! Help! Hel-!

All right, I'll be brief.

You have an infectious

parasite inside of you.

Fortunately, it's only been

an hour since it infected you,

so you might survive.

Okay, what we're gonna do is,

we're gonna run an electrical current

through your body.

That should bring it

to the surface.

Then I'm gonna grab it

with these tongs,

gonna pull it out of you, and put

it into that vessel filled with wine,

where it should fall

into suspended state.

All right, Jesse.

Hit it!

Okay, okay!

I'm sorry.

I don't know

how much he can take.

Hit it again!

We must of blown a fuse.

Fuse box!

I got it!

Is he alive?

I... I don't know.

- Jess.

- I can't tell if he's dead!

- Jesse!

- What?

I'm about to smash

your skull in with this lamp.

Excuse me?

What?

Oh, no!

It's inside me.

Get down!

Aah! Run!

Get out of here!

I can't leave you

like this!

I'm gonna kill you!

The alcohol.

You were drinking.

No.

No, Jesse.

I can't stop!

What?

Don't let this happen.

If I leave, they'll spread.

That's all they live for.

You can do it.

I love you.

Do it.

You ugly mother!

- What the hell is going on?

- What are you doing?

What do you want me to do?

Go get help!

Good night.

Help!

Help!

You. Who are you?

Where is it?

It takes 1500 degrees

to kill.

Where did that thing

come from?

I know I may have

to kill them.

You're a goetic practitioner,

aren't you?

You've learned much

in such a short time.

My admiration is yours.

Are there any more

of them out there?

Most were killed

many years ago.

It's been 30 years

since my last.

My work is done here.

So California, huh?

Do you got room enough

for two on that bike?
