Wait up!

God of all machines,

god that meshes good and evil...

Accept this blood of my blood,

because I am signing off...

Payment in full!

See you later, Sherry.

Sherry!

No!

Piss off!

Get on out.

You've got no right!

You have no right!

Oh...

You have no right!

Agh!

No right!

No right! No...

Aaah!

God!

Goddamn you!

You miserable piece of dogfuck!

How dare you!

No!

So this is the price of power?

This is the price of power?

Ugh! No!

No! No! No!

Here's the truth,

Gartley. It's done.

No! No!

Lin sue.

Aaah!

Lin sue!

Lin sue!

Lin sue!

O.K.?

Stay with me.

Trespassers!

Lin sue!

My Lin sue!

Off the clock.

Out of time?

Aah!

My god, who art in hell,

cursed be thy name...

Why, you lying

son of a b-b-b...

F*** you.

Stay back! Stay back!

What do you want me to do?

Help me.

When I point to you,

take the holy water,

sprinkle it in the machine,

and you say, "Gloria in

excelsis spiritu omnibus."

Omnibus.

O.K., alright.

Gloria in excelsis

spiritu sancto omnibus.

Then you put the host in.

Repeat the incantation.

Gloria in excelsis

spiritu sancto omnibus.

In the host!

In the name of the father,

the son, and the holy ghost,

get thee from this place!

Thou art unclean!

Holy sh*t! This ain't working!

Sh*t.

Our father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

Trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil,

for thine is

the power, the goodness

and the glory forever...

...sight to idols

nor make gods of thyself,

for the land will vomit you up

for defiling it

as it vomited up

nations before thee!

Amen, goddamn it!

Look! Yeah!

We did it!

Huh? We did it!

We did it!

We did it.

Ha ha ha!

It's dead!

Uh...

Oh, man. Now I know where you

get your flaky stomach from.

Let me take those I don't do

drugs, but I need this.

You O.K.?

Really?

What's in this?

I don't know.

They're antacids.

I got them

from Mrs. Frawley.

Belladonna?

You got these

from Mrs. Frawley?

The hand of glory?

I think we may be f***ed.

Ah!

Oh, god!

Oh, what's this?

Aah!

Oh, sh*t!

Oh. Oh.

Oh, god!

No! Agh!

Run! Run!

Mark!

Run! Run!

Out! Get out! Out!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Do you know a way out of here?

No! No!

Run! Run! Go!

We're f***ed!

We're f***ed!

Oh, god!

No! Ohh!

No! John!

Mark!

It... it won't open!

If I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I fear no evil.

Aaah!

John! No!

Johnny!

Mark!

No! Mark!

No!

Come here!

What are you doing?

Let go! Save yourself!

It wants me!

Over my dead body!

Are you crazy?

No, I'm a policeman.

But it wants me!

It wants me!

Sherry!

Sherry!

Sherry!

Jump!

Leave her alone, goddamn you!

Leave her alone!

No! Goddamn you!

Leave her alone!

Sherry's alright.

She's lost a lot of blood,

but she'll recover.

Thank god.

Mind telling me what happened?

Yeah, I do mind.

Can I go see her?

No.

She's resting.

Maybe tomorrow.

O.K. Thank you,

doctor.

Thank you.

Tomorrow.

Morning, officer.

Have a nice day.

Dearest Johnny,

in this envelope

you'll find vital information

that may save your life.

The old-timers in Rikers valley

had a saying...

Beware of people

with missing parts.

There's a piece

of each of them in the demon

and a dose of the demon

in each of them.

"Faithfully yours,

J.J.J. Pictureman."

Herb! I've got a big load

of sheets coming within the hour!

Now, get a move on!

Come on, ladies!

Move it up!

There's never enough

time around here!

I'm not running a

charity here, herb!

Tell them to get their

lazy asses in gear!

Sherry?

You heard the boss!

Keep moving!
