I've been waiting for you, Leah.

I'm sorry. I had to wait till my parents left.

It's okay.

I'm just glad you're here.

I had to be.

Goddess of the moon, mother goddess, I bequest you, join with me now in this

time. I call upon you, the messenger of doom.

Flash with grim delight the victims I have chosen.

Oh, come forth, great brethren of the night.

consigning mine adversaries to a place of hell.

Absolute and total hell.

Aren't we being a little melodramatic?

Every time I walk into the freaking station, somebody's writing me about

something. Well, maybe that's because your attitude sucks.

Cleanse me, body and spirit, so that no evil can abide in or around me.

Oh, goddess, blanket the light with your darkness.

Answer my summons and those of your servants.

Come forth in spirit to strengthen those who carry out your dark mission.

The time has come.

Present yourself.

Attention any black and white or Pacific Blue unit. We have a 415 at Mind's Eye

Occult Shop. 3 -2 -2 -7 Main.

This is 1 -2 -4 responding.

You gotta come see this.

I guess this is what you call that, uh, white witchcraft stuff.

Wicker.

It's called wicker.

And this is called blood.

And what part of white magic is this used for?

It's not for white magic.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone bags

on my town.

Stand and see, it was for me.

Take a look around,

such another day in L .A.

Please, more than me, anybody,

please leave it free.

Stop it.

One minute down, just another day.

out of his vein, it won't.

I can't bring Tim back, Russ.

Come on, Russ. You can do it.

I can't bring him back.

Morning, sunshine.

Another nightmare?

Yeah, you could say that.

Well, what do you expect?

Now, come on, move this bony butter. You're going to be late again.

So did last night's creepy crime scene wig you out, or was there something

Oh, come on. What are friends for?

You're my sergeant.

And a friend is what?

Someone who dies on you?

Look, Jamie told me that you were having nightmares about your friend, Tank.

In a couple days, it'll be four years since he died.

Oh, my God.

What the hell is that?

Scott.

What the hell did they do to this girl?

They branded her to symbolize their warnings.

It's a miracle she's still alive.

No.

It's magic.

This girl's a witch.

This is 156. We need an ambulance at the Rose Avenue construction site. We have

a female, early 20s, appears to be in shock.

Cherry Drake worked at Mind's Eye.

Unfortunately, she's still in shock.

Well, she was drugged, raped.

Beaten and bitten?

Yeah. We'll be lucky if she comes out of this thing sane.

What's this right here?

Succinyl chlorine?

No, no, no. Succinyl choline.

It was found on this lovely device at last night's crime scene as well as in

Sherry Drake's system.

It's a rarely used neuromuscular blocker. It temporarily paralyzes its

while leaving them unconscious.

Pretty sick, huh? No kidding. Who's this with Sherry? This is Leah Chandler. She

was responsible for closing up the shop last night.

Granger's on his way to her house.

I'm Officer Granger, looking for Leah Chandler. You her sister?

Good guess.

Well, I need to talk to her.

What for? She's not in any trouble.

Owen, how would you know that?

That's my role in the family drama.

Well, can I at least ask you if she came home last night after work?

Is that no, you can't tell me, or no, you don't know?

You know, you're pretty cute when you're annoyed.

Look. Lauren.

L -A -U -R -E -N.

And if that's real legal?

You'd be in jail right now, officer.

Now, if you don't mind, I have homework to do for my eighth grade sex ed class.

Did she come home last night after work? Yes or no? Simple question.

I'm not my sister's keeper.

So if I hear from her, I'll tell her to call you, okay?

And don't bother calling my parents.

They're in Europe.

You know how impressed I am.

Do I care?

Whoever

took Cherry

Drake from that shop last night also got Leah Chandler.

Granger, aside from the fact that no one's even reported her missing, how do

know she just didn't run away?

Because the markings on Sherry and the ones inside the pentagram were warnings.

What kind of warnings?

To other white witches, that they're weak and vulnerable against this other

stronger magic.

Black magic?

Look, even if she is missing, we can't proceed for 48 hours. Our hands are

Guess what, Sarge? In 48 hours, it's not going to matter if we call the FBI, the

National Guard, or the Pope himself.

That girl is going to be way beyond our help. And who are our suspects?

Werewolves? Sherry Drake is the first part of a ritual that is completed on

night of the Black Mass Lunar Festival.

They'll also need another girl, another white witch.

How do you know all this?

I have a little Satanism in my past.

A little Satanism?

What the hell is a little Satanism?

Look, I agree Corey was out of line, but you can't drop a bomb like that and

then refuse to explain.

It's the usual situation.

Conservative parents, rebellious teen.

We see it every day.

Not every troubled kid gets mixed up with Satanists and black magic. More

you think. Lieutenant, their philosophies are seductive, to say the

They tell you it's okay to want and do everything that your parents and your

teachers and your religion are all telling you are sins.

What about this big holiday in two days?

I know somebody we can call. They got cops, cold cops, deal with that sort of

thing. Where do you have one, then?

No, I can't do what you're asking me. Hey, if what you are telling me is true,

Leah Chandler cannot afford for us to stand here and argue.

I have faith in you, Granger.

You know, this is just like sending an addict back into the drug world.

You gotta face a demon sometimes, Corey.

Yeah, but what if you lose it?

Mother goddess, anoint me with your favorite spirit of the moon.

Light my path to freedom.

Oh, mother of mine, wake me up by your light.

Change the cold to love.

Aram, Laura, Mordeth, please.

Don't let me die.

Run.

I need your help cramming.

For what?

Occult Studies 101.

It's got Satanism, Santeria, some goddess worship.

I thought Sherry Drake didn't need our help.

Well, she just doesn't think that we can help. She can't or won't identify her

assailant, and she thinks our guns... Are useless against black magic, yeah, I

know. But she's obviously scared enough to let me work with her at the mines,

I... Would you put that down and help me, please?

Sweet looking girl, huh?

Yeah. She reminds me of my sister.

Not her face, but her smile, looking her eye in.

It's genuine.

How do I not know that you have a sister?

Katie hasn't spoken to me since Tim died.

They were in love until I sort of messed it all up.

How? By convincing Tim that selling our souls to the Prince of Darkness would be

a really cool thing to do.

You know what I think would be a really, really cool thing to do?

Stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself once in a while.

You don't have to do this, you know.

What about Leah Chama? And what about you?

I have to do this, Bobby.

I need to.

It's not even our jurisdiction.

It'd be better left to the church, not the penal code.

Would you feel better if I was carrying holy water and a wooden stake instead of

a gun?

Hey, Father Moreno would have me say ten Hail Marriages for talking about this

stuff. Listen,

man, screw following orders. This is about your soul.

That one's pretty deadly.

But can it cut the head off a cat like a knife through butter?

That's moronic.

You've got to learn to think bigger.

Especially if you want to learn how to do the festival, right?

So are you going to be celebrating?

Two most beautiful sights in the world.

Full moon and lots of blood.

Especially if it's not my own.

If you're interested, I know a place where you can get a good view of both.

Two suspects, male and female, approximately 16, wearing all black,

the door heading west on Marine.

They hinted something major was going down in the satanic community.

A show of force against white witches.

Copy, Strickland.

Police! Hold it!

I didn't do anything!

How do you explain this?

It's very hot.

Jamie, I know that we don't know each other very well, but I would like for

to have this.

It's for protection.

It's beautiful.

But I can't. Please.

I can make myself another.

And I have a feeling that you'll need it.

Okay. Thank you, Sherry.

I saw you talking to those kids earlier.

I know their beliefs promise an incredible amount of power and control,

can be very enticing to a woman in your position.

But don't be fooled.

The stuff they're into does not give you power.

It eats yours away from the inside.

And if what you do is supposedly healing, how come you're in so much

There are no incantations or herbs to heal the loss of an ally and a friend.

How can you be sure that Lee didn't take off with a boyfriend or party too hard?

Me, maybe.

But not Leah.

Why? Too uptight?

Too powerful.

In order to maintain that, she needs to stay.

Virgin.

Unbelievable, huh?

A girl with her looks?

Powerful white witch with psychic abilities, a virgin?

You have any idea what that means to a satanic cult?

No, Russ, I don't.

Human sacrifice?

Let me go.

Please, I don't even know what you want.

Maybe, maybe just, if you tell me what you want, I could give it to you.

Please.

You, you have a kind face.

I can tell.

You don't want to hurt me.

Please, if you just let me go, I promise you, I will not tell anyone.

What are you doing here?

What, not who you were expecting I'd take you?

You could say that.

I could say a lot of things.

Pick one.

What are you doing later tonight?

Mind if I were believing a thing?

What's the emergency?

You are never going to guess who is just in here, your evil twin.

I swear, this guy Luke, he could be your brother.

And this is the crisis?

He's into Satanism and black magic, and I know this is going to sound lame, but

a bunch of them are getting together tonight at this coffee shop that he runs

after hours. It's called Devil's Brew. I think we should check it out.

You're right.

It does sound lame.

Hello?

When I said that you weren't as irresistible as you thought, I guess I

lying.

Lame idea, huh?

What, you figure you're going to solve this yourself?

Jamie, it's for your own good.

You're going to have to do better than that, right?

Well, this should be interesting.

You know, I really wish you'd take that thing off at least until we finish our

shift. It's bad luck.

It's jewelry.

It's a pagan symbol.

Symbols mean something different to everybody.

Why is yours okay and no one else's is?

What's the difference between a cross and a pentagram anyway?

People kill in the name of that pentagram.

Hello, the Crusades. Does the word inquisition mean anything to you?

Well, if nothing else, we could always start a freak show.

Not one of them is willing to talk.

But what I have been able to get covers the spectrum from the undead rising out

of the Pacific all the way to the X -Files being a documentary.

Well, here's the good news.

Name's Abaddon. This was taken from a security video at Drug World where he

working as a farm tech until he got fired for stealing succinyl choline.

Same stuff as Sherry was struggling. Yeah, but the bad news is no current

address or phone number.

They ever press charges?

No, they were too scared.

They said he was evil, as in the real thing.

Someone cut out his tongue.

Where's a guy like this hide?

A coffin.

He's a vampire.

Can't take your eyes off him, can you?

Well, if you two ever want company, I think we could do incredible things

together. After all, Satan represents indulgence, not absence. That's his

commandment.

I like it.

Then you'll love the other eight.

The best part about it is after spending my entire life thinking I was a self

-serving bitch, I've learned I'm really just a Satanist.

So how did you feel when your girlfriend told you I invited her here tonight?

I think my prayers have been answered.

See, I'm new in town, and, well, the way things were going, I thought I'd have

to celebrate Lucifer's holiday alone.

Oh, you're not alone.

Yeah, Jamie.

Yeah.

But I'm the one initiating her into the life.

You want with a girl like her, you don't hit a home run your first at bath.

She loses interest.

Yeah.

So, what kind of name is Bath anyway?

It's Egyptian.

She's the goddess of pleasure that roams the earth as a cat.

Want to hear me purr?

I want to hear about the Black Lunar Celebration. Oh, it should be very

stimulating.

I was hoping you could help me persuade her. I can help you with a lot of

things, Ron.

I think we Midwestern boys can help each other's greatness.

I never told you I was from the Midwest.

I'm sorry to interrupt the bonding, baby.

I'm going to go to the living room.

Scared me.

I've looked everywhere, and I can't find anything but coffee.

Mmm, you smell good.

Quit playing, Ruth.

Look, I think we gotta haul their asses down to the station, because we need to

sweat them, or we're never gonna find Leah Chandler. If we question them,

dead for sure.

Trust me, I can get inside this guy Luke's head.

Before he gets into yours?

Jamie, are you down here?

I'm on.

Why are you doing this to me?

I love you.

Lauren, don't you know that I love you?

This isn't you.

Please, Lauren.

Let me help you.

You don't want to become like them.

I may never be prom queen, but I'm going to be ten times more powerful than you

ever were.

Did you get someone ID Avedon from the photo?

Better. Seems that Avedon is a regular at vampire parties, and tomorrow there's

a huge one for the Black Lunar holiday.

Rumor has it they've got something big planned for a white witch.

Who finally cracked?

The cat killer, Jamie Fettus.

After I told him I'd leave him in the box alone with the witch doctor.

And my favorite commandment... Let me guess, the eighth.

Satan represents all of the so -called sins as they all lead to mental,

emotional, and physical gratification.

Well, at least tonight wasn't a total wash.

I can see what attracted you. You've got a very empowering philosophy.

I didn't give a damn about the philosophies.

I was attracted to the violence, the disgust of other people, or the more...

I let my parents down the more the leaders rewarded me.

Were your folks all that bad?

My parents were perfect.

They're like a Norman Rockwell painting that I just don't fit into.

I'm sure they don't feel that way.

My mother went to church every day since I was nine to light a candle and pray

for my salvation when they realized that they couldn't force me to think like

them. They decided that I was a bad seed.

Like some broken thing that they couldn't fix.

This isn't good for you.

Why? Because we're roommates?

Because I'm not good for anyone.

Four years ago, tomorrow night at the festival, I killed my best friend.

He OD'd Russ.

Was it your fault?

I can't let this one die.

She won't.

Tim was just a kid.

So were you.

Where is the shelter and the song I was craving

I look to them for love and understanding, but

it's hard to be found nowhere around.

Russ? You think there was something in our drink last night?

Maybe they put a spell on us.

Russ?

He's a dead man.

What do you want?

Someone ID'd our firm.

Says he's going to be at a big ritual party tonight at an abandoned church on

Shoreline.

Yeah. Lieutenant said he wants you there by 8.

So, uh, why don't I ask why you're out here working on your joke shot as

to working on the case?

I'm tired of making you commander -in -chief.

What, I can't ask my friend a question?

I just wish you'd spit out whatever the hell you're trying to say.

When's the last time you went to confession?

You're pathetic.

Whoa, you can't take something like that and just walk away.

So what are you going to do, huh?

Are you going to kick my ass?

Look, man, you're in trouble, okay?

I'm just trying to help you.

Then leave the hell alone.

You have to do better than that.

Bye.

You need some help?

No, I think we're finished here.

So do I get a winner?

No. Maybe next game.

I think I need a feed.

Yeah, nothing like the sight of blood to get those juices flowing, huh?

Nice cruise fix.

Thanks for the game.

It's not over.

Granger did this to you?

I want to believe he was just maintaining his cover, but I still think

pull him out, Lieutenant.

He might be holding back info to protect them. He might be fighting some of

those old urges, but my money's on the rust we know.

Well, what if we don't really know him?

Lieutenant.

Hey, does Sherry ID Abaddon? She went and talked to me, but Jamie recognizes

him. Said he hangs out at some coffee shop that her and Granger went to. The

Devil's Brew?

Don't you tell me there was nothing in that drink. Why?

Why? Because you don't want to accept responsibility for the journey you began

last night? The journey back to your true self?

Oh, and who would that be?

Someone who sees through all this conformist, puritanical crap that our

our teachers, our government feed us because they resent our youth and they

our independence.

I didn't take any journey last night.

I got wasted.

So stop trying to mess with my mind.

Oh, no, man.

They messed with it.

They closed it up. They closed your eyes.

You remember how clearly you saw things when you were a kid?

Kids don't have responsibility.

Exactly. It frees them up to think, to question.

Russ, your only weakness is your fear of your strength.

It's because you don't feel you deserve it, man. That's what they did.

Mommy and Daddy, just like mine.

I mean, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Hey, I know you're

anticipating tonight's celebration like a junkie awaiting a fix.

Come on, we both are.

You know, I have a hard time believing your rituals are as inspiring as your

rhetoric. Yeah?

Then why can't you look into my eyes?

If you did, you'd know that tonight we embark on the ultimate power trip.

Starting with the ultimate ritual.

13. Satan wanted it this way.

It should have been me.

It should have been me.

If you ever say anything apathetic again, I'll do you the favor and kill

Everybody stay where you are.

Hey, how you doing, officers? Can I help you with something? Sit down.

You know this man?

Yeah, it's Abaddon. He was my handyman.

Not until he left last night.

And I suppose you don't know where he went.

Great. Then you'll mind if we have a look around.

Not without a warrant.

Get a grip Harper

You

okay

What's the matter? You seem a little tense.

Where'd you come from?

Bet you're sorry you didn't shoot me.

You need to get over yourself, Granger. You know that?

Give me a break.

I'm just trying to apologize.

Gee, isn't that one of the satanic commandments?

Never having to say that you're sorry?

I don't expect you to understand.

But Luke and his theories, they make sense to me. No!

You have got to stop letting your guilt confuse you. You know what this is?

This is the grotto that I belong to. This was my set. These were my brothers.

When you went undercover and did meth, you said you didn't know why you got it.

What was I supposed to do? Tell the lieutenant what this means?

Would I even want to admit it to myself?

You want to know the reason why I became a cop?

It's because I knew the only way I was going to do good things is if I was

forced to.

That's your parents talking.

Yeah, the two people who've known me all my life.

So when are you going to kill me?

Tonight.

God.

How could I not know that you hated me this much?

For the same reason that you know nothing about me.

You're too busy.

Too busy being perfect.

Perfect? Lauren, I'm not perfect.

God, you are so much smarter than I am.

I'm much more a beetle.

And I'm going to have everything you never could.

Except a sister that loves you.

See? And that's so sweet.

It makes me want to barf.

Having evil urges and thoughts does not make you evil, Russ. It makes you human.

What new age book did you get that out of?

Messed up.

Self -loathing men and the women who live with them.

Here.

Are you going superstitious on me now?

You have to forgive yourself, Russ.

Punishing yourself is not going to bring Tim back.

Hello?

Hello?

It's got to be the full moon.

Well?

Hail Satan!

And the demons tore her from every side.

And the Anunnaki, the dread judges, drew around her.

And the faceless gods of Abzu fixed her with the eyes of death.

And they killed her.

and hung her like a corpse from a stake, letting her power into their

outstretched hands and open mouths.

The 66 demons tearing her limbs from her thighs, her eyes from her head, her

heart from her chest.

Hail Satanus! Ave Satanus! And the dead shall rise and rejoice in our triumph.

Hail Satan!

Aia, aia, bara, namas!

I summon thee, creature of darkness, with the works of darkness.

Shemha for us. A summoning creature of hatred with the words of hatred.

Shemha for us. A summoning creature of pain with the words of pain.

By the four square pillars of the earth that support the sky.

May they hold fast against them that desire to harm me.

On this, this anniversary of your ancient triumph.

I offer you in sacrifice a minion of your adversary.

Please don't.

You won't do it.

Put the blade down.

Search your destiny, Russ.

You belong with us.

Punishing yourself is more than a routine, Russ.

This is about your soul.

This is one BB -4 requesting backup in an ambulance at 33th Free Lane. Two male

gunshot victims.

One female, blood loss and severe lacerations.

Are Leah's parents home from Europe yet?

Tonight.

I have to go pick them up at the airport and bring them to the hospital.

That's nice of you.

Luke told you when we were at Devil's Brew that the ritual was happening at

Chandler's house and not the vampire party, right?

Why didn't you tell anybody?

I wish I could say that I wanted to be a superhero.

Take down the bad guys single -handedly.

But the truth is... I don't know.

Well, three -day suspension isn't bad considering.

Yeah.

What do you say we give it some time before we talk about what happened

us You

ready not really

I just need to know what you would have done the night of the ritual if I hadn't

stopped Luke.

Ruff, I didn't follow you there because I didn't trust you.

I followed you because I knew you'd do the right thing, and I wanted to back

up when you did it.

Thanks, man.

Anytime.

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been seven years since my last confession.

It's not that I was afraid of God's judgment, I just...

kind of figured, what was the point?

I mean, I thought I was beyond hope.

Disappointed people have put their faith in me, and most of all, I'm

disappointed in myself.

I'm here because I'm looking for an answer.

Problem is, I'm not even sure about the question.

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone

whacks on my town.

This fantasy,

it works for me.

Take a look around, just another day in L .A.

She's all that needs anybody to make me feel free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day.
