All right, hello, Alexander.

You can go ahead and put that right there.

Alexander, there's another one right there.

Why don't you go ahead and grab that one, and then we'll probably need about

three more from the barn for the prayer meeting tonight. That should be enough.

Yes, sir, Master.

Alexander, you do not have to call me Master.

You're a free man now.

In fact, what, you make three cent a day?

A horse will use its tail more than once to swap flies in the summertime.

Yes, sir, master.

All right, go on.

Why,

Dora, my lovely Dora.

Good Lord has ended the war and freed our black brethren from the clutches of

tyranny.

And that's exactly what I'm going to preach about tonight. Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah. Now that our black brothers and sisters are free, they're going to

need our guidance.

I just hope the good Lord continues to use me as an instrument of their

salvation.

God, don't make mistakes.

And I have no doubt that the Lord will guide you.

You are such a good soul, Gabe.

I feel blessed that Jesus brought us together to do the Lord's work.

Hallelujah. Gabe, would you like to lead us in prayer?

I sure would.

Let's hold hands and give the Lord our thanks.

Lord, keep this family strong so we can do thine work

to help.

free and educate our black brothers and sisters from the tyranny and the

persecution they have faced.

Amen. Amen.

Praise the Lord!

Hallelujah!

Thee I walk through the darkest valley.

I will fear no evil, for thine is my rod and my

staff.

May the Lord's light shine down on my colored brethren.

Hallelujah. And may their taskmasters that kept them in fear and

slavery burn in eternal hell fire.

Hallelujah.

We want to thank you all for coming out tonight in fellowship.

and praise of our Lord.

So let us pray.

Dear Lord, give us the guidance to resist temptation and deliver us from

For temptation and lust is the devil's trick to lure us

into eternal hellfire.

Amen.

That reminds me of a story of Mark.

Can we help me, boys?

You know, burning the cross is a mortal sin.

All niggas belong to hell.

Hello. Can I ask you your name?

My name's Gabe.

My name is Martin.

May I ask you a question?

Sure. What brings you to these parts?

What are you looking for?

I don't know what I'm looking for.

I'm lost.

I don't know where I am.

Oh, no, my son.

You are not lost.

You are right where you need to be.

You just have a few decisions to make as you travel down this long road.

You must decide whether to stay on the left side or the right side.

Which way would you go, Gabe?

Which way?

will you go, Gabe?

Hey, boy.

Hey,

boy. Come on out there in the woods.

I see you.

Come on.

Get the lead out. Come on in here.

William Williams is his name.

Saving lost souls is my name.

Grab me.

Why, you in limbo, boy.

What's limbo?

Well, a little ways in between.

But you about to figure out it all in a minute. Now, let's go.

You know why I care this motherfucker?

Because this here...

First, I want to start off by saying that I want to apologize for my

I haven't been sleeping very well the last couple weeks.

But I imagine we're going to get to that at some point in this conversation.

Anyway.

I have only seen the manuscript, but my assistant here, Todd, has read it.

And he says good things about your book.

But we do have a few concerns

on the storyline, which we would like to discuss. But

first, in your own words, can you explain the premise of your storyline?

Oh, yeah, sure. So my book is basically about eternal love through time.

The devil's main goal.

has always been about destroying true love.

And I think this story really highlights my best attempt at trying to help

save that love.

You know what?

Maybe it's best if I just start from the beginning.

Is that okay?

Ladies and gentlemen, what is the meaning

of life?

What is the answer?

What makes you tick?

Lacing knife.

I am inevitable.

I am unavoidable.

I am, shall we say, consequent for certain questionable

acts.

of humanity.

Mine is not to judge.

That was done before I came.

Mine is to balance, to bring order, like a referee

or a corrections officer in a prison without parole.

from which you can never leave.

You are so full of shit.

You treat them like parasites.

They feed off each other to hasten their life's end.

Like vultures.

Feeding off a corpse.

Laced with poison.

They get their fill, and then they die.

I'm one of your biggest supporters.

And yes, this is indeed my second copy of Behind the Devil's Mask.

So I have a question.

In your book, you state that some compare a soul to the Holy Spirit

can be anywhere at any time.

But the major difference is that a soul is typically only attracted to the

energy of a new life.

Is that correct?

Yeah. I think that's true.

It's like, you know, the song says, every breath you take,

it's like, man, excuse me.

It's like when life is conceived, it attaches itself to new life,

and then the journey begins.

One more question. Yeah, go ahead.

Then how does this pertain to Cassidy's ten doors theory that you make mention

of in the book, but you don't really elaborate on?

You know what?

I think I'm going to have to turn that over to my colleague here,

Adora Hall, because she's actually writing a book on the ten doors as we

Thanks for that plug, Gabe.

It's revolving. So if time never really exists and our

reality is only a test, then it goes on and on and on until

we reach total enlightenment.

Gabe, honey.

Got some errands to run today. A door will be by to check on you.

Alright.

Eggs, Ged.

Gabriel, Sebastian, Porter.

You will eat those eggs.

Your last chemo treatment is tomorrow. You need to keep up your strength.

Eggs, Gabe.

Yes, dear.

Excuse me?

Son of a bitch!

Hey, are you okay?

I just, I can't do it, can't do this anymore.

Why don't you just take some time to yourself, go run your errand.

Take as long as you need. Alex has a kid's day, so really take whatever time

need. That would be fantastic.

Thank you so much.

Okay,

he doesn't mean it. I know that.

I know that.

Go take some time.

Thank you. Be careful out there. It's raining really hard. I will, and I'll

you in just a bit. Sure.

You know she loves you.

Yeah, I know.

No, you don't.

That woman has put up with you in all of your bullshit.

She has been through hell and back with you.

What is the matter with you?

I don't know.

The more she helps me, the more I fucking hate her.

I think I'm going crazy.

And I had a dream.

I was dead and in hell.

I don't want to fucking die, man.

Fuck.

I'm going to fucking die.

No, you're not.

You are not going to die.

You are going to live.

You know why?

Look at me, Gabe.

Because you were put here on this earth for a purpose, Gabriel Porter.

All of this, this is just a wake -up call.

So you need to fight to live, okay?

Maybe stop feeling so sorry for yourself, too.

Right. You know, something funny happened to me the other day.

A couple of the students came up and asked me if one of the women in your

was about me.

What'd you say?

I said no.

What else could I say, right?

Right.

Right.

So let me get this straight.

You say you're a man of the people, and yet you spread darkness all around the

world while taking life.

Yes, I do take people's lives, but it's only to release their souls.

Free will commands them.

It's their driving force.

what they live by.

This will only take a moment.

requires your soul.

The devil, that is.

Here, here, I'd like to make an announcement and a toast to my friends

here today.

The love of my life, Gabe, was given very good news yesterday.

He is 100 % cancer -free.

Oh, wow.

Oh,

yeah, and a little more good news to go along with that.

He'll be starting back to work at the college on Monday.

Adore, he's all yours during the week now.

No, no, please. It has been so peaceful on campus.

Please, Gabe, don't come back to work.

I'm just kidding.

It's actually been a little boring without having someone around to argue

Love you, man.

Alright, the air is definitely getting thick in here, so I guess I gotta do my

little speech.

You know, sometimes life can throw a monkey wrench at you, and believe me, I

had to overcome a big monkey wrench.

But anyway...

One day you wake up and you look back at your life and you realize

you've been married for over 30 years.

Just kidding. I love you, babe.

I love you too, babe. Adorable.

Anyway,

Mike, show me this damn car you've been bragging about all week.

Come on, Rick.

We'll be right back.

You know, Gabe,

You want to own one of these babies one day when your income starts rolling back

in? Right.

You need to invest in this fund I'm heading up.

The Black Hills Mining Company.

Right. See, they discovered a new gold run in the Black Hills.

And the reservation elders, they just gave the okay to start mining again.

Once the operation starts, the stock is going to go through the fucking roof.

I mean it, though.

A lot of women would have given up on him.

She didn't. Thank you.

But on the lighter side, you have a very big honey -do list for him now.

You got to invest now before the riff -raff comes around, you know?

I'm going to get you guys a prospectus on Monday. Make sure you take a look at

it because it's going to be a game -changer.

You're back.

It's nice. Yes, it is.

Well, I'm sure you made it. Yes, of course. Gentlemen.

You both still have your wallets, I hope.

Yeah.

Adora.

All I've been hearing for the last two weeks is Mike's got a gold mine.

Mike's got a gold mine.

You know what, honey?

That gold mine pays for your kids and that big, fancy house we live in.

So what is it? Do you want to be poor or do you want to be wealthy?

You want to be on top of things.

It's up to you.

It's funny because I thought they were our kids.

It was our house. I've heard enough.

You'll have to excuse me. I've got to take this phone call.

Looks like trouble in paradise.

Anyway, you want to hear a joke?

Your suit man's looking for something to do, right?

He's changing out his web shooters.

Messed up. So he flies over to the war room in his house to see what she's

doing.

Somebody's in the front yard.

Help hold her leg steady.

Come on, Melanie. Come on.

Come on, girl.

Wake up. Come on. Come on.

A friend of mine just collapsed in the park. She's thumbing at the mouse. She's

not conscious.

Foam coming out of the bounce.

So, are you excited for tonight?

Guess we'll see how the book signing goes.

So, are we ready for tomorrow's banquet?

Is there something I can do to help?

Honestly, if you don't mind getting here a little bit early tomorrow, obviously

he's not going to be much help.

So, what is Worthless doing?

No, he is still...

Doing the same thing as usual lately.

He just sits there, brooding in the dark.

He's drinking again.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything you're going through.

Wait, I have to go.

I should be home around 10 o 'clock.

The school bus gets in around 3 .30, so you can just make sure that the kids get

in, get their homework done, rest their teeth, because they will bite you on it,

and get to bed by 8 .30. That's the latest.

Okay. Don't worry about anything. We've got the coverage.

Oh, and no sweeps.

No sweeps. Great.

Have fun.

Try to have fun. I love you.

I'll try.

Thanks. Love you, too.

They don't fucking get it.

God, they don't get it, man.

They don't get it.

Mike, what are you doing?

No.

This shit is not going to help.

What'd the lawyer say?

The lawyer said 20 fucking years and

1 .75 million fucking dollars. Do you understand that?

We are done.

It's over.

Let's go.

Okay, you know what?

Mike, it is going to be fine, okay?

We're going to get through this.

Sure. All right. Sure.

We're going to get through this. Sure. Great.

We're going to get through it. Just go.

Just go. I don't have time to deal with this right now, okay?

We'll talk when I get home.

Oh, whatever.

Can't do any more.

You know, Nancy was right about you.

You really are just a worthless piece of shit.

Hey. How are you? All right. How have you been?

No complaints.

Any pain, discomfort?

Well, not really.

Good, good.

Your lab results are in.

Unfortunately, your cancer has returned.

This particular type of cancer is extremely aggressive.

It surprises me you're not in any pain at this point.

No, I mean, I feel good, I guess.

I strongly suggest that you get your affairs in order.

On the flip side, the cigarette's not going to hurt anything at this point.

There are some drugs that I can prescribe you that

So, I came back from the dead.

I cheated death, as some people would call it.

I couldn't believe it myself. I had survived a headshot wound,

which not a lot of people can say.

So, six years went by.

And by now I had done some extensive research and

began reading and I found myself generally intrigued by everything that I

finding.

And I stumbled upon this book written by Adora Hall called The Ten Doors.

It was fascinating to me.

I was really impressed.

by everything that I had seen in this book, and I needed to find out more

information. And so I found out about a book signing, and I was really excited

as hell.

Now, the Greek theologian Castes wrote in his dissertation about life and

the theory of the ten doors, where upon one's death, their soul was to be tested

through a series of ten doors.

Now, through these doors were different trials of life, and depending upon the

purity of one's soul when going through these trials, that would determine the

status that one would be granted in the underworld.

In my book, I discuss the relationship between Castes' Ten Doors and the Ten

Commandments of the Old Testament.

Now remember, Castes wrote his dissertation about 300 years before.

the first known copies of the Bible ever appeared.

Did the creators of the Bible plagiarize Cassidy's theories?

Question? You.

Yes, hi. I'm Kenzie Barlow, and I'm a student here.

Didn't Moses receive the Ten Commandments long before Cassidy's time?

many theologians agree that Moses' time was about 1700 BC.

But, if you read my book, I challenge that assumption.

Was not the story of Moses just a vehicle for the creators of the Bible to

explain the Ten Commandments, or the Ten Doors?

Yes, in the back.

Hi, my name is Gabe Porter, and... Hello, Gabe, and...

Just a moment, please. Everyone, if you don't already know who this is, this is

my esteemed colleague, theologian and hippie professor, Professor Gabe Porter.

Anyway, please continue with your question.

In your book, you discuss Cassie's notion that suicide is

not always a mortal sin, which...

differs greatly from the modern Christian doctrine.

You also discuss and agree with the assisted

suicides performed by Jack Keborkian on over 130 of his patients.

Is suicide a sin?

Yes. I believe, as do many, that Jack Vorkian was a pioneer in the field of

-euthanasia.

You did not answer my question.

Is suicide a sin?

What are you doing?

Professor Porter?

Yes. Hi. I'm Kenzie Barlow.

And I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your book, Behind the Devil's

Mask.

And I really appreciated the questions you presented today at Dr. Hall's

dissertation.

At least somebody read it, what do you think? The book?

Well, in it you talk about how the devil presents itself in not only a spiritual

form, but a physical one too, correct?

Right.

Well, Professor, I've seen the devil.

Right. Okay, maybe not a devil devil, but certainly something evil.

You see, I was a victim in the Regis Park Massacre six years ago.

And I think that the man who shot me was the devil.

I died on the operating table.

You're the one that lived.

Right. They never caught the guy.

And that's just it.

Ever since then, I feel like I've had this connection to something very dark,

like the afterlife.

I feel like there's always someone following me, lurking in the shadows,

watching me.

It's frightening.

Fear of death.

The I walk through the darkest valley.

I will fear no evil.

For God is my rod and staff.

I think you have PTSD.

Have you seen a doctor?

I want to write a book.

Actually, I've already started.

And I'm at a point where I'm stuck.

Professor... This is real to me.

It's like I have a sixth sense.

I see things.

Well, it's really not my deal, but if you want to really write a book, you've

got to go after the experts.

Mediums, psychics, priests, paranormal people.

Really interested in or what you have passion for And you research it and you

take your time But if you're still stuck If you can't

dazzle them with brilliance you have to baffle them with bullshit and write the

damn thing Good luck

Mike, where is everybody?

Mike?

Where are the kids?

What have you done?

I wasn't going to be able to take care of them anymore.

So I sent them to God.

And I wouldn't have killed the sitter.

But she got really upset when I killed the children.

So I sent her to God.

Do you want to go to God?

You're fucking crazy.

Can you file a gay border chart for me, please?

Um, this is a process, not a border.

Oh, shit.

Basically, I was devastated after my two heroes in this entire world lost their

lives. They were cut short, seemingly by their own hand.

God, that felt so senseless to me.

Anyway, I swore up and down on myself that what I had blamed, you know,

being just a curse all these years.

may actually be some kind of weird gift.

So I decided that I was going to start developing my psychic abilities

and I started researching, going places, trying

to hone in on these skills while simultaneously working on finishing up

You did something?

This

is

some creepy shit

Tonight, we investigate the site of many a ghost sighting, the house of suicide

victim Gabe Porter, the renowned author behind the book The Devil's Mask.

We brought along special assistant Kenzie Barlow to help us with our

investigation. In May 2020... Whoa!

What the... Are you okay?

What the fuck was that?

Yo, man, what's going on up there?

There's definitely a presence here.

It doesn't want us here.

It's very strong.

Very powerful.

And angry.

It definitely doesn't want us here.

I'm sensing an entity here.

A tortured soul, if you wish.

He's kind of a victim of poor circumstances.

And he's caught between two worlds.

Uh -huh.

Trapped.

He's right where you're standing.

He's right where Gabe Porter took his life.

He's the tortured soul.

Gabriel Porter is the tortured soul, you're telling me?

Yes. And he's trapped here.

What do you see?

He tricked you.

He tricked you.

He tricked...

You.

Don't you see?

It's you.

Kenzie, trick two. What are you talking about? Oh, God.

Did you get that?

I heard something.

Nurse, what's your blood pressure?

180 over 130.

Affirmed? Not stable.

Let's get us to Dr. Satt.

Nurse, get in here.

Hold the arm. Hold the arm. Hold the arm.

And see, this is where I died for the second time.

So now I found myself walking through purgatory or hell.

Maybe it was both.

I'm still not really sure even to this day.

I don't know where I was.

But all I knew was that I could sense Gabe and Adore's presence there.

Somewhere.

to feel their agony.

Somehow, as I was working on my skills, I had to develop a psychic bond with

them. Some experts might call this, you know, somebody who has this kind of

ability of clear -seeing empath.

Basically, somebody has the ability to feel emotion.

But I could also feel evil around me, as if I had been led there for a

reason.

And I knew that I had to flex that muscle and that I could do this.

I wanted to save them.

I had to save them.

We're turned into the book.

You have pulled the old Alfred Hitchcock trick.

You know Alfred Hitchcock, the director, by killing off main characters

early in the story.

Now, I think this is where the storyline goes a

bit, let's say,

obscure. Okay, recapping.

Gabe and Adora are now sentenced to hell for killing themselves.

You're trying to help them, but you're now captured by the devil, a

demon, whatever.

Then you've got this other Gabe.

I guess a reincarnation of himself walking through hell.

So time is not relevant in hell.

So all these characters can coexist together in hell.

They're two very, very different Gabes.

But only one of these souls has the ability to be saved.

Right?

So if you ask me, who better to save your own soul than yourself?

Zombies dust.

For keeping the hot pumping after death.

The ice pick.

A wonderful invention made by man.

When you get it in there, you've got to wiggle it around a bit. Make sure you

get a wide enough hole.

You don't want to miss a drop.

Did you know that demon's blood is responsible for the discovery of

Yes. At the beginning of the Great Depression, a demon was destroyed in a

Buddhist laboratory. His blood somehow made it into a petri dish and voila.

Demon's blood.

Oh, excellent year.

You can't help them now.

They've been running through here playing hopscotch all too long.

They done fucked up.

Fucked up.

You're in hell now, boy.

Boss man said.

So you might as well make yourself a little comfortable.

The night eternal shall be

our resting place. Drink.

of the darkness and let the light die.

Them dead ones over there?

Stay home.

Use the game.

You're all for it, don't you?

Now, they say that time is ever -pleasing.

And you're out of time.

So, Governor, I suggest you RUN!

Through this demon's blood you shall enter my vault, where eternal damnation,

pain, and I reign supreme.

Young man, you are safe.

Is

this

part of the game show?

This is life.

And death.

Beauty.

And the grotesque.

Sacrifice the soul.

Save the soul.

Just leave me.

Where do you think you are?

Here you are in my arms.

I am the great nothing.

I am darkness.

You are nothing.

Now, where were we?

You know why I care this motherfucker?

Because this here is a demon killer.

what are you doing

You did not answer my question.

Is suicide a sin?

And travel with me to a land

where the poet dreams and the singer sings.
