And the most powerful

supernatural being... Satan!

What are you on about?

When chaos reigns,

then will the Fallen Angel prevail.

- What the f*** is he talking about?

- Look around!

- The world's in chaos!

- I don't believe this sh*t!

He's eating human hearts, for Christ's sake.

- How do you know?

- We had lunch with him.

Cannibals ate hearts

to gain possession of souls.

It believes that if it eats

its victims' hearts...

...it not only gains their power

and their DNA...

...it also gains their souls.

Are you telling me there's something

running loose in this city...

...ripping out and eating people's hearts

so he can take their souls back to hell?

Looks that way.

Hallelujah.

You're both f***ing nuts.

What am I supposed to do?

Put out an APB on some f***ing guy

who looks like the devil?

Answers to the name of Lucifer?

Yeah, and you!

I suppose he's got two f***ing horns

sticking out of his head!

Yeah, and a f***ing tail!

F***ing get out of the way!

Jesus Christ! The pair of pricks!

Coffee?

This place is amazing.

Great bike.

Do you want some...

...coffee?

Yes, please.

What have we got?

We don't have anything.

We're not chasing it, it's chasing us.

- Milk?

- Just a drop.

Don't.

This thing has really

started to piss me off.

I think you need a plumber.

I'll cover you.

Michelle, what are you doing here?

In the fridge, I touched it.

It's all right. It's okay.

The door was open, so I came in.

So you're back now.

Everything's going to be fine.

What happened?

Foster's mother killed herself.

- I'm sorry.

- Excuse me.

Stay there.

The bite on her shoulder

means he's promised to it.

- He's got her DNA, too?

- Yeah.

Harley.

"Harley. " I'm working

with a guy called Harley.

You think that's funny?

What's so great about Dick Durkin?

Go sit in the car.

Call me on the radio.

Which hand did you use? This one?

He's after me now, isn't he?

No.

He's getting desperate.

So am I.

Come.

Stone.

Stone here. Come in.

There's something moving

at the end of the street.

- What is it?

- I'm just going to investigate.

I don't know. I'd better take a look.

One sec.

Oxford, come in.

Durkin, come in.

What's wrong?

I don't know. Durkin's jeep's gone.

I'd better go take a look.

You stay here on the couch.

Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back.

Something goes wrong, take this.

All right?

Dick, come in.

Having fun?

Harley!

Durkin!

Stone!

Yeah, hang on.

Got you.

Get me out of here!

What happened?

I was looking for you. You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Good.

Didn't even see it.

What's it done to me?

I'm going to kill that f***er. I'm going

to find it, and I'm going to kill it.

Rat bastard!

Michelle?

What are you doing?

There was a rat, so I shot it.

You shot my kitchen, that's what.

I missed the rat.

What? This one?

Cool.

I'm bleeding.

Come on, pal, wake up. Get back to work.

What? What are you doing?

What's it done to me?

See, this is his symbol.

We've been looking for a meaning.

What if the symbol is just a map?

A map?

Give me that mirror.

F***!

There's a circle, a

triangle, a Scorpio sign.

- The sting in the tail.

- Let me see.

The tail points into the River Thames.

Doesn't make sense.

It's pointing to Cannon Street.

That's where Foster was killed.

It's taking you back.

It's completing the circle.

If he's there, Michelle's there.

Geometrically speaking...

...once he kills you,

he's completed his pattern.

Durkin, come on.

Cannon Street Station hasn't been

used in years. It got submerged.

I know a guy who can get us in

who lives here.

What, is he crazy?

You'll like him, he

catches rats for a living.

He missed some.

Open up! Police!

Where's the big guy?

Are there any lights in this place?

- I think we're below the water table.

- I know.

I just thought I'd mention it.

Where's your boss?

- Who's the guy?

- What guy?

You know it's 4:
00 in the morning?

- We want to get to Cannon Street, fast.

- You can't go there. It's closed off.

- Can you get us down there?

- You're really serious about this.

- Got any cash?

- No, just credit cards.

Give me your watch.

This serious enough for you?

The exits and entrances are all blocked off.

We sent a couple of guys down there

a few years ago.

- What happened to them?

- They didn't come back, I guess.

Can you get us in?

- You don't want to go there.

- Yes, we do.

- No, you don't.

- Yes, we do.

- No, you don't.

- Yes, we do.

- Boy, are you pushy.

- Give me the watch.

You're not going to need time

where you're going.

Get it off me.

I hate rats.

They love you.

Strange boy.

He gets laid every night.

This is my little door.

Nobody knows about this, Stone,

except you.

So don't tell anybody. This is to my den.

This is the loo.

This is it.

Where does he find these people?

Hurry up, Durkin.

We're definitely

below the water table now.

He's down here.

This is as far as I go, guys.

Do we need any of those keys?

Get the keys.

- Thanks.

- I wish you well, guys.

Come on.

If I were a religious human being,

and not the reasoning person I think I am...

...I wouldn't say this thing

thinks it's Satan, I'd say it is Satan.

Satan is in deep sh*t.

- Do you want a Rah Rah?

- No, come on.

I hate this place!

"Master of light,

protect us from this evil plight.

"For lowly lives, I take my fight,

Black Masque power.

"The rights of might... "

Don't do that again. It's not funny.

It's out here somewhere. I can smell it.

Is it close?

It's behind us.

Elevator.

We can't kill it.

I'm here.

My chest, it's burning.

Listen.

Hear the heartbeat?

It's not yours. You understand?

Good, so let's go get it.

Okay.

Jesus Christ! Harley!

A circle of light. It's a circle of light!

Get me...

Don't break it! Don't break the surface!

I'm sorry.

Okay. Swing.

- Swing?

- Yeah, swing your legs up.

Get your legs on the roof.

Come on.

Harder!

Yes!

Run!

Foster?

Get out of there!

Nice timing!

- Five seconds.

- Okay.

Four, three, two...

Watch this!

- We haven't been introduced. Dick Durkin.

- What?

I'm gonna fry the f***er.

Shut it off.

Okay, need a screwdriver.

Move!

Gimme some slack.

Say when.

Relax, pal.

Get out of the water now!

- When!

- Are you sure?

- What?

- He said, "When. "

Off!

Please, Durkin!

Sweet dreams.

Is it dead?

Durkin?

That's a difficult question to answer

with a simple "yes" or "no. "

Philosophy of death is one of my hobbies.

Existentially...

- Durkin!

- Tell me later.

I'll tell you later.

Once again, the Black Masque power

prevails over evil.

Yes, Detective Dick Durkin

and his psychic sidekick Harley Stone...

...can relax for a moment...

...before they are called forth once more

to do battle with the forces of darkness.

Shut up!
