White Noise 2: The Light Page #3

He survived.

He's over at Belmont County.

The asylum.

We keep him up here.

He's been with us a couple of months,

since he slipped out of coma land.

If you ask me,

he ain't never gonna see a courtroom.

Why?

Old Henry...

he sees dead people.

Don't mind me. I'm just gonna stick

around and make sure you boys play nice.

My wife and my son.

Why did you do it?

Why did you kill them?

If save, must kill.

Jesus, you're even crazier

than I thought you'd be.

If save,

responsible.

Responsible for what?

Consequences.

Horrific consequences.

What consequences?

It will never end if you let him in.

You cannot shut the dead out.

The dead will haunt you

until you put right what you've done.

If you save, you must...

you must kill.

Tria Mera.

Tria Mera.

- Trio what?

- Tria Mera!

If save, must kill.

If save, must kill.

If save, must kill. If save, must kill!

It's a three.

What does a three

have to do with the devil's signature?

- Hi, Abe.

- Hi.

So I just finished the rehearsals for

that recital thingy I was telling you about,

so I was basically in the neighbourhood,

and, uh...

Hi.

- I hope you don't mind that I stopped by.

- No, no. I don't...

I don't mind. Um...

But why?

When...

is the last time you drank

a cheap bottle of wine?

That's very kind,

but you really don't have to do that.

I know I don't have to.

I want to.

I'm married.

But thank you.

Abe, I read your file.

I know why you were in the lCU

when we first met.

I know what happened

to Rebecca and Danny.

You saved my life the other night.

I'd love to return the favour.

- I like the hair colour.

- Purple was good, but...

- It goes with the wine.

- Right.

This is great. It really is.

Thank you very much.

- To bad wine and good company.

- Oh, it's bad.

You gotta get out

and do stuff like this, though.

It's the only way you'll make it through.

Danny and Rebecca were my everything.

And Tommy was mine.

But you can't just throw in the towel, Abe.

- Come on.

- Where are we going?

O'Malley's.

I gotta kick your ass in a game of pool

to get back the 2.50 I spent on the wine.

You got ripped off.

Eight ball, corner pocket.

OK.

How about double or nothing?

All right.

Rack 'em up, big boy.

- Sorry.

- No, it's OK.

No, l, uh... I shouldn't have done that.

- Not tonight, anyway.

- No, it's OK. It's crazy, but it's OK.

Breaking news.

A tragic accident downtown

has left six people dead

and several injured.

An elderly man driving an orange van...

..crashed into a crowded

bus shelter. So far...

Are you OK, Abe?

Witnesses say the van appeared to

deliberately swerve for the commuters...

Yeah. Um...

Sherry, I gotta go.

- Is it someone you know?

- Yeah.

I'll call you, OK?

If save, must kill.

If save, must kill.

"The third day"?

Authorities found George Sutter in his

kitchen, no attempt to cover up his spree.

The bodies of his wife and children were

found in their beds, butchered so severely

that dental records

will be necessary for an lD.

Sutter has no history of domestic violence

and, when pressed,

could offer no explanation as to...

Beverly Ann Cloy,

a registered nurse for the past 27 years,

smothered 14 of her patients this morning.

She then clocked out and calmly...

There's no explanation

why Dickson lost control of the plane...

-..absolutely no reason...

-..offer no explanation...

Always on the third day...

after Caine saved them.

Authorities are confounded

as to why the man drove into the bus stop,

and we are told

that there is no obvious ulterior motive.

"On the third day,

Christ shall rise again. "

But what about the devil?

What about the devil?

What does he do on the third day?

What's the thing with the third day?

"Revelation 13:
18."

"Let him that hath understanding

count the number of the beast."

"Let him that hath understanding

count the number of the beast:

for it is the number of a man; and his

number is Six hundred and sixty six."

"The Bible written in Roman times

for Ancient Greek-speaking audiences."

"All Greek and Ancient Greek..."

"..Ietters have numerical counterparts."

Always on the third day.

But what about the devil?

What about the devil?

What does he do on the third day?

Third day...

after Caine saved them.

"The Bible written in Roman times

for Ancient reek-speaking audiences. "

"All Greek and Ancient Greek letters

have numerical counterparts. "

Tria Mera.

T-t-tria...

M-m-m-m-mer...

"Lucifer - from the Latin

meaning giver of light."

"The archangel

who was thrown out of heaven

for trying to usurp God's power

for his own purposes."

"The one once named Lucifer in heaven

is now known as the devil

on Earth."

The third day is the devil's signature.

That kid I saved on the bridge.

Today's the third day.

I brought him into the hospital

the day I helped you. I need to find him.

I really shouldn't be doing this, Abe.

Seems to be par for the course

with us, Sherry.

Yeah.

OK, Kurt Green.

- Sir Alfred Hotel.

- Sir Alfred. Of course. Thank you, Sherry.

- Abe.

- Yeah.

Are we OK?

I hope so.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Yeah.

- Abe, jeez.

Marty, listen,

I think I understand why Caine did it.

He thought he had to. He did it

because he thought he had no choice.

- Did what?

- I save the man, he takes out a bus stop.

I saved that kid.

I don't know what he's gonna do.

Terrible things happen on the third day

after using the light to save somebody.

- Are you listening to yourself, man?

- No, you listen.

Maybe it's Lucifer

or the devil or these ghosts.

Whatever it is, I know I can stop it, Marty,

before anyone else gets hurt.

You know you're my boy, right?

And I love you. I really do.

I'm not gonna stand by and watch you

do this to yourself. I can't. I won't.

We've got a business. I can't do this

by myself, man. We've got things to do.

This is the bus stop.

Marty. Marty, l...

Say that again. I can't hear you.

If save, must kill.

Must kill. Must kill. Must kill.

Kurt. Kurt.

Kurt!

I'm terribly sorry.

I sincerely apologise.

I'm sorry. I apologise.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Get down.

He's got a gun!

Let's go!

- Just put the gun down.

- Other side. Other side.

- Easy.

- Kurt!

Go, go, go! Now!

I got him. I got him.

- Keep calm. Slowly exit the building.

- This way, please.

Hold on. Kurt!

Kurt, what's wrong? Kurt!

Kurt!

Tria Mera.

I need you to go downstairs

right away. Call 91 1.

Why?

I don't think you should've saved me.

Sherry.

Must kill.

If save, must kill.

- If save, must kill. If save, must kill.

- Kill. Kill.

You made it.

- I've been worried sick about you.

- What for?

I heard what happened at the hotel.

First you save that kid's life, and...

You must feel awful, Abe.

Sherry, I need to talk to you.

About what?

- Outside. I'll tell you outside.

- You can tell me right here.

- I can't explain in front of all these people.

- Why not?

If save, must kill.

- What is it, Abe?

- Must kill.

- You have to come with me.
