Well, uh...

I should um... Go.

I'm gonna take the

couch upstairs.

You should get some sleep.

Say hi to Briar Rose for me.

Thomas.

Yo.

We got some new Intel, bro.

What do we got?

Well the journal was written

by one of your earliest

ancestors, William Kaiser,

during the Crusades.

Sh*t's old.

This is the first

page of the journal.

"I, William Kaiser, have

wrought upon my family

a debt which shall

never be repaid.

This sacrifice of a

virgin bride to Iblis."

In Islam, the devil

is known as Iblis.

He's the first to

refuse to bow to Adam.

- Essentially it's Satan.

- Well, Azazel, yes.

The Quran and the Bible

have many similarities,

just different names.

So William had connections

with Rose and Satan?

There. Briar Rose,

that's her name right?

She was royalty

known for her beauty.

A Djinn cursed her with a needle that pierced

her skin and put her in eternal sleep.

Sounds like a fairy tale.

It must be Iblis who wants her.

Now, if this is real she's

alive, but she's trapped

in limbo, a slave to

the supernatural realm.

The Veiled Demon is the guard

of Rose between these realms.

The only other thing

that was deciphered so far

is, "The blood of our

line shall open the gate."

This phrase is next

to this picture.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for protective

spells in the original Arabic.

They must be somewhere in here.

Are you okay? I think we're

gonna have to get him back.

No, it's too dangerous

to go back to the house.

If it's just me we'll be fine.

Oh no.

What?

Billings the appraiser.

All right, it's all right.

We'll be right back.

Thomas.

Rose, where am I?

You have to move quickly,

Thomas. There's no time left.

When you are away,

her evil thrives here.

Do not trust.

Just drive straight in.

I can make it myself.

No, you can't.

When you confront

her in her true form

she can do more than haunt

and bestow nightmares.

Your bloodline will

no longer protect you.

Stop.

Are you okay?

Billings's car.

- You all right?

- Just stay here and don't follow me!

Just trust me.

Billings!

This is it.

This ends right here, right now.

Where are you taking us?

Ah, yes.

Yes, this is the symbol

for Iblis all right.

Azazel.

I think that we should

get the cops involved.

There is evidence all over

the second floor bedroom

that proves that

Billings was killed here.

We can't get the cops involved.

Protocol would be to board this

place up for who knows how long.

I'd be booked as a

suspect and spend at least

a few nights in jail, and

that would not bode well for me.

We can figure this

out for ourselves.

If we just find...

No! What...

Richard, there it is.

That's the gateway.

- Linda.

- Hm?

Now, I uh...

I have this.

- A gun?

- Well, ya never know.

It's best to be prepared.

How well do you know this guy?

You want to tell him

to sit this one out?

Watch out.

Well, it knows we're here.

You said you have

protection spells, right?

Well, hopefully. I have a few

we could use in there.

Hopefully?

Rose, she said I'm

no longer protected

once I'm near this Veiled Demon.

I could die in here.

Well, that makes three of us.

Let's go.

- Now that was a Djinn.

- What did you do?

I just banished him back

to the hell he came from.

Where are you going?

Well, I'm gonna follow him

unless you got a better idea.

What is this place?

Looks like a hospital from hell.

These mannequins are different

from the ones we saw.

It's like someone's

been working on them.

It is hiding in here.

I can feel it.

Where did it go?

I'll check over here.

Luke. My brother,

what have they done to you?

That was my brother Luke.

No. No, he left long ago.

This is just an empty vessel.

It's still here.

Let's go get it.

Oh, no.

Not yet.

This is the final chamber.

And there she is.

The Veiled Demon.

And Briar Rose must

be lying asleep

just beyond those doors there.

- How do we get past it?

- Well, I don't know.

We can distract her, keep

her busy for a while,

but you will have to wake Rose.

She's the only one

that can stop this.

- I'm not leaving you guys.

- It's our only choice.

- We're doing this together.

- Just listen to me.

We'll keep her busy.

You have to wake the Rose,

whatever happens to us.

You've got to wake her.

I see you.

Turn around and face us.

Your spells

and weapons are useless here.

Are you the maker?

Did you create these vessels?

You have a lot to answer for.

All who enter my realm

will be punished.

And their souls will be mine.

I stand here in the name...

I have the power here,

as do the other djinns

tasked to stand

guard when the curse

was first brought forth.

Other djinns?

There are 13 of us.

- Where are they?

- I answer to no mortal.

You will answer to me!

How dare you enter

into my domain?

Fools.

Your mortal eyes are blind.

It is I who is the protector.

Where is the young Kaiser?

Bloodline...

Thank you.

Now, the prophecy

can be fulfilled.

Your task has been completed.

Mine has just begun.

And I have plans for you.

How dare you think

you could come in here

and break the curse?

Unleashing the evil

will summon the demons

of the doomed Kaiser bloodline.

And I...

A thousand years.

I have not forgotten.

Rose is evil.

You have to stop her.

Linda!

Ah.

There's a special small

taste of what's to come.

I would kill you...

...but I want you to stay

to see all of the darkness

I have to show you.

"We are cursed with the

souls of demons in our blood.

They live within us, using

our bodies as their vessels.

First comes the nightmares.

Then the sickness

begins to take over

and he begins to hear

the spirits of the damned.

The souls of the Kaiser generations

seeping into his blood.

But be warned that one

must never communicate

with any demons,

for you never know if it is

a true beast, a true evil.

The one who will use our curse in

order to bring about the Qiyamat.

The apocalypse.

The end of our world."

Soon, you shall all awaken...

...and bring about my Qiyamat.
