What exactly does that thing do, anyways?

If you didn't have my virus cross, I could show you.

Hey, I was on level 10.

Well, hey, some of us are trying to nail demons here.

Remember that frequency generator only demons get here?

The one that didn't work?

I was able to prove that demons could be identified through scientific means.

I hate to bust your act, but the only thing you proved was how to practically

get killed without even trying. The point is to make them drop their guard,

expose them for what they are.

This will be our early warning system.

Sarah, we already got one.

The man's temperature is over 150, consistent with demonic presence, but

woman isn't registering.

They're both wrong.

I can smell them. Rafe, she's only a degree or two above normal.

There's nothing normal about that.

Me?

Yes.

What exactly am I going to do?

You're going to keep an eye on the normal one.

An oath sworn is an oath answered.

An oath of vengeance for a life taken. A past destroyed.

A future threatened.

Enemy of darkness.

His battle eternal.

He walks the earth relentlessly.

His mission.

To hunt the messengers of evil and drive them back to hell.

Now, the light of the earth depends on the immortal.

We've got clean beds and the world's best homemade food.

And the best part?

You don't have to swallow a sermon along with us.

We're gonna go heat things up.

Rafe, do we have a plan here?

Same plan as we always have.

Ah, right, good.

Wait, what's that? We make it up as we go along.

Oh, yeah, but I was thinking maybe I should stay with Sarah. You know,

somebody's got to make sure that experiment goes right.

Hello?

Hey, what's up, Sarah?

Yeah.

We're a little busy here, though.

Goodwin, tell Rafe... The woman definitely registered human. She must

picked up the heat signature from the other one. Sarah.

We can talk about this after I've bagged them. Rafe, you're making a mistake.

I don't make mistakes.

I make decisions.

Where there's life, there's hope.

Somehow I don't think hope's going to pass me by.

You don't have to kill them.

I think you're misunderstanding, friend.

Understanding is what I do best.

Suit's on.

Good win.

No! How about you take this one?

Not the girl!

She can be serious. Who's going to save me, Ray?

Grr!

Name is McQueen.

I'm part deprogrammer, part missionary.

Dude, you played guitar for Golden Thread.

Woodstock, you were awesome.

Do you know what she is?

I know what she thinks she is.

But her taste for evil is raw, undeveloped. She was being schooled in

arts by the one you terminated. Now, he was big trouble.

Not anymore.

What are you saying? She's an apprentice?

But she still has some doubts about what she's been told to do.

That would explain my readings. It's as if her evil nature comes and goes, but

never fully takes control.

That's right. So there's a chance she can be redeemed.

See, I know they can change.

Really?

And what makes you so sure?

I have two of them living on my farm.

Not that I need any pointers to handling the ladies, but what's it like having

all those groupies after you?

Oh, I had much bigger thirst. You dig?

And then I hit every commune and ashram and guru there was, tried all the

religions, but eventually the evil crept back in, and I followed it like a

bloodhound. What led you to them?

A little sect that practiced demonology was a lot heavier than I figured.

Escaping cost me my hand, my music.

Rolling Stone said you drove your car off a cliff.

I did.

I just didn't tell him what was chasing me at the time.

Well, you got off lucky.

Then I got into deprogramming kids caught in demonic cults.

I discovered that not only are demons real, but some of them still have a

conscience.

Don't be frightened.

We know of you, the vengeful one.

It's like somebody's got a rap.

Have you heard of me?

Yes.

A coward.

Just like the girls.

Temperatures far lower than they should be.

They cool down as the evil dissipates.

Why are they here?

To see that you mean them no harm.

Well, you can see that, can't you?

I can do the same for the girl. I know I can.

Stay and watch.

What have you got to lose?

Before you experienced them, did you believe they existed?

No. So your knowledge of them changed your whole view of the world. What are

saying?

If your view could shift once, why can't it shift again?

Because they still smell like meat gone bad.

That's a yes.

It's usually very charming.

What am I doing here?

You're safe.

The bars are for our protection.

While we talk to you.

You're the one with the sword.

He killed Frank.

And now he wants to wage me.

Yeah, he does.

Unless you can prove to him that you're capable of change.

How many of you killed?

What difference does it make? It makes a difference.

Describe the first one.

He was old. He probably would have died in a couple of days. Describe him.

He had white hair.

Hail.

What did the old man say?

Thank you.

She knows she was wrong.

That means she can learn what's right.

She's just telling you what you want to hear.

That's how they work.

Rafe, just give it a chance, please. Just 24 hours.

But then I'll know if there's any consistent changes in my reading.

If we can find a scientific paradigm for stopping these things.

your magic, Superstar.

Three of them.

Three of them in the palm of my hand.

How much misery leaves the world if they get sent back to where they came from?

Sure, ending them would be safer.

But what if evil can be transformed?

Listen, I know how you feel. These things killed my parents, remember?

Where you use your sword, I use my intellect. You use a gun, I use a

Between the two of us, maybe we can come up with a new way.

I think you know that.

You know, back at the mission when the one she calls Frank bit the blade,

sending him back to hell just wasn't enough. I wanted him to suffer first.

But then my reflexes kicked in and I finished him. I understand.

This isn't supposed to be about revenge, Sarah.

But it's all I can do not to go in there and want to waste all of them.

Maybe McQueen can help all of us.

Instead of crushing evil, he's trying to give goodness a place to grow.

Maybe that's an approach we could all think about.

You are impatient to strike back, to taste your vengeance.

A warrior needs to know three things.

His weapon, his opponent, and his own heart.

Are you clear in your purpose?

My purpose is to send this evil back to the unholy pit it came from and find my

daughter. Nothing in nature is all one thing.

Nowhere but in a child's eyes will you ever find affection.

Take the light, Raphael, but be aware that darkness dwells within it.

Even a chicken has light, meat, and dark.

Even a chicken.

But you've been taught to believe that you have special power over life and

death. And we do. Yes, you do be interested.

But it's not controlled by someone else, is it? No, it's in us. That's right,

Sidney. It's in you.

Brownie points for the loser.

You can both think for yourselves.

Not just blindly follow orders.

Do you believe this bogus load?

It's a deprogramming technique.

If a cult member thinks for himself... Then the cult loses its power over him.

That'll be the day. Could you keep it down, please?

Okay, Sydney, I got something special for you today. I think you're ready.

Want to play with it?

Oh, please.

How do you feel?

Good. I mean, this is fun.

Sydney's temperature's dropping.

It gets better.

Oh, this is gonna be cool.

Way cool.

No, this is not going down.

He knows what he's doing, Rafe. I'll bet you a kitten he doesn't.

So what am I supposed to do?

What do you want to do? Feed him.

No, don't.

Decide, Biggie, before someone else decides for you. Go ahead, Sid.

Make your move.

I can't. The snake kills to survive. That's its nature.

What do you want?

What do you want to happen? Decide, Sidney. Make it happen.

Let the snake feed.

All right, experiment's over. Rafe, wait, wait.

Very good.

His body temperature dropped to exactly 98 .6. As he made the decision, it's

like a litmus test for evil.

The litmus test is death, Sarah, not body temperature.

Hey, where's the cat?

Beatrice, no.

Beatrice, spit it out. Spit it out!

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

To Sydney!

You've come a long way, my friend.

Another couple of sessions like today, and you'll be able to leave her.

He's leaving right now.

Sorry

to

intrude, immortal, but this one was mine.

The legend is true.

I never believed it.

Amanda, get a hold of yourself.

We're next, aren't we? He'll come back.

Yeah.

He'll be back.

Why didn't you tell me there was another immortal?

There isn't one.

He bats for the other team.

I always thought it was a myth.

His name's Randall.

The Collector.

He comes from the fifth level of hell, hunting those who shirk their duty and

stray from the darkness into the light.

The original demon boogeyman.

There's nowhere to hide from him.

He's relentless.

He never returns empty -handed.

Or empty -headed.

And we're supposed to be the ones without compassion?

Look who's talking, kitten eater.

Beatrice, take Amanda back to her cell.

I'll take care of this. Everything will be all right.

Yeah, just PG.

I want you to go with him.

Watch your back.

Why do I always have to go with the demons?

Because I know if things go south, you'll scream the loudest now.

Go.

That guy, Randall, he could destroy everything I've tried to accomplish.

Why didn't you stop him?

He didn't get the chance, did you?

Maybe I thought he was doing my job.

Sidney was almost human.

You let him destroy an innocent... Innocent?

Pal, I've known these things longer than you'll ever dare to.

And not one of them comes ten miles close to innocence.

He was trying to change.

He was trying to find the right path. The only path they know leads to

destruction.

Now you can believe that he was almost human, if you must.

But don't ever think of him as innocent.

Just who does he think he is?

The kind of man who knows he's right.

Until you can prove otherwise.

Hey, Rafe.

What are you looking for?

Something to tell me what's going on around here.

How... McQueen claims that he can change these things.

That makes him the real threat to Randall's cause.

Meaning, why didn't Randall choose him?

Exactly.

Randall's a collector.

Sidney was having doubts.

Demons don't have doubts, and neither can we. Maybe McQueen had turned Sidney

human then.

Maybe that's why he didn't... Get sucked back into hell where he belongs.

Yeah. Sarah, I just cannot accept that demons are capable of humanity. I can't

go there.

You mean you won't.

You've seen the proof, Rafe.

All I've seen is a smoke screen that they've put up to mess with our heads.

I believe McQueen is doing something really special right now.

If there's no hope of redemption for... Redemption is not for me to decide, or

any of us, including McQueen.

Life just can't be that hopeless, Rafe.

I know you need to believe in his work.

I know you need to confirm...

Your own research.

And that gadget.

Gadget. It's not a gadget. Okay, whatever.

I'm here to stop evil.

Not to quantify it.

I promise 24 hours and I'll keep my word.

Anytime I need to concentrate.

So that's it? End of discussion?

I'm going then.

You understand

the light and dark.

sides of your weapon.

It is to be heavy to deliver a single mortal blow, or light enough

to conserve your energy in a prolonged struggle.

When you want to hide its lethal nature from your enemy, or strike terror in his

heart at first sight, by understanding a warrior's weapon, you

understand the warrior.

I just don't want you to hurt yourself.

Oh, that's reassuring. Coming from someone who wants to electrocute me.

This is not about hurting you, Amanda. This is about making you whole.

This will allow me to read your vital functions.

I suppose I should be relieved you people have evolved from the Iron Maiden

dunking chair as tests for evil.

Or not.

We've all come a long way, Amanda.

You know, there are certain sections of our brain that haven't changed a bit

since our ancestors first crawled up out of the ocean. But we overcome that

daily to create a great work of art or a simple act of kindness.

There go electroshocks.

When I lost my hand, I went into a deep depression.

So I checked myself into a hospital for a tune -up.

And you had shock treatment.

Are you nuts?

It's still controversial, but it's a more controlled science than it used to

Yeah, so why don't you take this joy juice and go for a ride, lady, huh? Why

You see, demons have to replicate our bodies and our brains.

But if I can stimulate some evolutionary button within that brain, then maybe

she can become human again, for real.

Okay, this is starting to look like Bride of Frankenstein. You'll just have

trust me. You ask for much joy.

Being human is about feeling, Amanda.

Now, I want to know just how comfortable you are.

whether it's really a part of you or just a costume.

I look like a mad compared to this.

Her temperature's rising.

Harvey's already over 200.

Is this in the game plan?

She'll be all right.

Fight it, Amanda!

Let us see what you really are inside!

You're messing with my dark forces!

It hurts! Make it stop!

You can choose to change, Amanda!

We have to off the scale!

Fight it! Fight it! Fight it!

You killed her.

Not by a long shot.

Wait. Wait, I'm getting something.

She did it.

She beat back the evil.

We've got one again.

Hey, you seen Sarah?

Yeah, she's working the girl with McQueen.

Should have heard the screaming. It sounded like an exorcism.

So what's in the cards for us this time, little buddy?

Change, rebirth, death, battles with Putrid Hellspawn.

Right.

I want you to keep an eye on things around here for a while. I gotta go into

city.

What you got there?

This is a piece of metal off of Randall's axe.

It's, uh, some...

Kind of steel alloy.

Very strong, but almost weightless.

Sure took a few pounds off old Sydney.

Composition tells me that the man who uses it likes one swing to do the whole

job. Our collector's a perfectionist. Mm -hmm.

And a perfectionist is not going to go into battle with a damaged axe.

He'll be looking to reforge it somewhere.

What are you going to do if you find him? That's my business.

Look, I don't mean to pry. It's just... Amanda's scared.

So am I.

I don't want to die like Sidney did.

Not after how hard I've worked.

Put it on a greeting card and give it to McQueen.

Because I know who you are and I know what you are. I just haven't figured out

your game yet.

But when you make your move, I'll be there.

I want to give us a chance.

You're still in one piece.

I'd say he's given you a lot.

That is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

How did you learn about them?

Deprogramming their disciples?

Yeah.

These guys are kids who figured all their problems could be solved by

worshipping demons.

Their parents used to pay me to bring them back.

I felt good being of service.

I understand why Rafe does what he does and why I do, but... What's my excuse?

Ah, it's the music, really.

Back then it just drove me.

People used to say I played like a man possessed. They're probably right.

It was one wild ride.

I burned all my photos.

Glorified a lifestyle that's a bad example for a lot of kids.

Maybe I still feel like I owe them something.

All those temptations they throw in your path.

Very hard to resist.

But the party's over.

At least for me it is.

Got no quarrel with you, cowboy.

You caught me with my iron in the fire, so to speak.

How about we grab a cup of java?

Your coffee's getting cold.

I never touch it.

No?

I live for it.

I wouldn't make it through the day without these brakes.

Makes me feel perky.

Maybe I'll be your next contract.

Yeah. I don't like doing humans.

Even you.

Find a specialty and be the best at it. That's my motto.

I got a rep to protect.

How about another slice there, darling?

So if you only hunt your own kind, then...

Waste the ones who've strayed. Why didn't I do them all?

If they make the wrong choice, I'll be there.

They haven't made their final decision yet.

So it could still go either way.

Sure, like that's news to you.

You didn't survive all these centuries without knowing who to trust or who to

stomp.

Must be hard for you to keep that sword under control with so much evil around

the hoof in your own backyard.

Thanks, hon.

There's a big tip coming your way.

I'd best be going.

Maybe so.

The kid could probably outrun him.

But that woman of yours could turn into a real tasty treat for somebody.

Hey, if you so much as show your face near Sarah again, I'll kill you.

Make no mistake about it, cowboy.

You get my way.

Your head will roll.

You see me shaking with fear?

You all have no cattle, cowboy.

For the first time in a long and illustrious career, you are protecting

guys, and it don't suit you.

So what we have here is a standoff.

They turn good, I collect them. They turn bad, you send them home special

Does it really matter what happens?

Maybe you've been doing this for so long that you've forgotten what it's all

about.

Maybe you just like the killing.

It's not killing. It's return to sender. You got a lot run against you right

now.

I got the advantage.

So I'll go where I please.

It's there.

I'll be waiting.

Waiting to kill me?

Or just wait?

Maybe we can take the others someplace safe.

Safe? I don't think so.

Randall doesn't need a road map, Sarah. If he wants them, he's going to find

them. Amanda's salvation depends on working with McQueen non -stop right

She's at a critical stage of her treatment.

Treatment? Yeah, right.

Something else is going on here.

We're being set up.

Can't you drop the paranoia long enough to believe in something new?

I am fighting every instinct I have because I want to believe McQueen like

do. You do?

You think I want to spend another four centuries mixed up in this stuff.

It's a good end tonight, I put down my sword, but that's not the way it is.

Pearl Harbor Rock and Roll?

That's no great surprise you were at that one.

The 60s started to go bad.

It was just the first time anybody noticed.

I guess they got careless. You know those biker boys.

They just loved to party.

You had so much power back then.

I mean, the audience.

They moved any direction you pointed them.

They would have followed you anywhere, done anything you asked.

Do you know how many people would tell their soul for just one day of that

magic?

I can imagine, yeah.

You can't tell me you don't miss it.

Not without lying.

Don't get me wrong, Amanda, but... I have been tempted by demons far more

powerful than you are.

Have you?

See? A lot of us make promises.

You can actually do that.

I can give you...

You could be everything you were and more.

It's been 30 years.

It's like sex.

You don't forget how.

It'll seem like the first time.

I don't get it. This

doesn't make sense.

I'm applying my data from my sessions with Amanda. Nothing fits.

Ah, bad theory again.

Yeah, Goodwin, it might be. Happy?

Okay, Spill, I'll pretend I understand.

According to McQueen, Amanda should be reflecting human biorhythms whenever she

reflects human nature.

And she doesn't?

No. In fact, it's the opposite.

Meaning that you think she's cool, but she's really uncool?

Yeah. Okay.

How uncool?

Enough to make us believe whatever she wants.

Ouch. It's almost as if she can do it at will.

That's harsh.

Yeah.

Play it, McQueen.

Feel the music.

Oh, yes.

Oh, excellent.

Was it good for you?

Just... Think how rewarding it would be to go back to your old life and leave

the troubles of this one behind.

Well, that could be a little complicated. I mean, how do I explain

Never heard of a makeover?

Think of the money, the groupies, the fame, the power.

That's an awfully hard Jones to kick.

No.

Take it away, Amanda.

Amanda.

I'm not going to ask you again.

What you're doing is pointless. Can't you see that? Even if you succeeded with

one of us, Randall would be there to destroy any good you've done.

And where's the shame in abandoning a dream that can never be achieved?

The

Immortal

and his friends will know what's happening.

Leave them to us.

The secret is to use the wood, not become focused on devouring it.

To kill, but never enjoy the killing.

And watch your back.

Hey, partner.

Told you I'd be back.

Yeah, I told you I'd be waiting.

Welcome back, Sidney.

I guess there's no permanent damage.

You just saw him take my head.

It grew back.

Wake up and smell the java, bro.

Yeah, I get it.

You don't change.

You've all been playing McQueen.

Kick them when they're up. Kick them when they're down. Back a dream that

turn out.

That's what we do, cowboy. You know that.

And they never get it.

It's like showing a dog a card trick.

We're here for you and your friends, Pilgrim.

Do you think you can handle all of us?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

My friend Raphael was right. They don't become human.

We don't even try.

I told you.

My readings weren't confused. They are apprentices, but apprentices learning to

mask their evil. That's right.

Losers, we fooled all of you. There's no beating them, Sarah. The only choice is

surrender. Yeah, well, I got another option.

Run!

That ought to hold him. Yep.

You've got to get your priorities in order, partner.

Split the herd and the wolves move in.

Kick like a mule, son.

I've been working out.

You want the wind to do something? Okay, okay.

Oh, you brought your sisters to fight?

Go now. This one's mine.

No way. We earned that. You're not the boss of me.

Goodwin, come on.

You're the guy.

Don't stereotype.

You do it. No, I'm not going to. Go. Let's go. I load. You shoot. Go.

Give me your best shot, partner.

Coming at you, cowboy.

Yep. I hear you.

Right, boss.

Top of that.

On it.

That was, uh... Who do you think?

Got a book or there'll be hell to pay.

But... Hey, he's got agendas inside agendas.

I just go where I'm kicked.

Adios, cowboy.

So, I'm thinking of taking up the drum.

Oh, don't spread that around.

Hey, nice shooting there, Tex. I didn't think he could handle himself so well.

Well, I was a skeet shooting champ back in summer camp.

Really? Yeah.

Curts, we didn't get a lot of targets.

Why? Are you worried about me?

I'll just say that you never cease to amaze me.

Can't believe I let this happen, you know?

Hey, they were telling you what you wanted to hear. I mean, it's hard to

away from.

Dude, that's their game. They get inside your head and they mess it up.

Well, maybe from now on I'll stick to helping humans.

Yeah. Beat the demons to me.

No, us.
