(children shouting playfully)

- Good, do it again.

Not bad.

You learn pretty fast for a cop.

(laughs)

Yeah, well cops may be slow learners,

but at least they're fast on the take.

And I guess I've just been taken by one of the best, huh.

- He is not one of the best, Mr. Man, he is the best.

- Well, look who's here.

And I suppose you're qualified to know who the best is.

- Can an elephant skate?

What is it of your business?

- [Instructor] Rap on, now tell me about it.

- Alright, alright, I get the message.

I'll see you when you get back.

Oh, by the way, how long are you gonna be gone?

- Oh man, a week in fabulous downtown Hong Kong,

followed by a week of improvement for the body and soul.

And then back to the states.

- Hmm, we're gonna have a master in the neighborhood, huh.

You know, that could be a very valuable asset to the force.

- Yes, I know, but don't play with me, man.

You're getting lessons from me, and that's it.

You can come up from that morgue of yours

just as long as you come as a student.

But the next time, the next time you try to recruit me

into that pig pen of yours,

is the day I stop pulling my punches and ice you.

- Okay, don't get excited, Luke.

Don't blow your cool, my apologies, alright.

Just have a good trip.

- I dont know why you let that pig honky come up here.

- Because I owe him a favor,

and that's all it's about.

He stuck his neck out for me when I was busted

for almost killin' that pusher on 116th Street.

Plus, he keeps his appointments,

which is more than I can say for you, mister, you're late.

Where were you?

- Some dude in the deuce was flashin'

a big roll on St. Nicholas.

So, I happened upon this scrap game for a quarter, you dig?

So, then he wants to do me in because he drops its all,

and want a refund to boot.

To make a long story short,

he whips out a piece and he takes the whole pot.

Well, at least he tried to take the whole pot.

Me and Tom put a showstopper on him,

and got the bread back.

We didn't hurt him too bad.

We let 'em go.

Chinks are funny.

- He was Chinese? - Yeah.

And when he was driving away,

he yelled that he'd get us.

You should've been there C-Fu.

You would've laughed your ass off.

He was cursing us out in that funny accent of theirs

saying that he was gonna get, can you dig this,

the Tong after us.

He wasn't looking where he was going,

and he rammed his car right into a garbage truck.

He tore up his whole front end.

But he kept goin'.

I thought I'd never stop laughin'.

- The Tong can lay somethin' on you.

- Nah, me and Tom know too many of them.

They'd never bother us for something like this.

Which reminds me, I got some business down in that

part of town, I'll see you tonight.

- Wait a minute, what about the trip?

Are you packed? - What pack?

It's take a minute.

- Look bro, I'm counting on you, this is really important.

Don't get waylaid.

- I wasn't planning on getting laid, C-Fu.

I'll see ya' later.

(gong sounding)

(tranquil oriental music)

- [Man] Yes, sir.

(tranquil oriental music)

- Master Leon.

- Hi C-Fu.

(tranquil oriental music)

- What's on your mind, man?

- There's nothin' on my mind, C-Fu, nothin'.

- Don't hand me that.

You got an attitude.

- I don't have an attitude.

- [Luke] You still thinkin' about New York.

- Nah.

- I just hope that it doesn't affect your performance.

- Don't let it hassle you, C-Fu, this is easy.

It's light stuff.

- I don't believe what you're sayin'.

Do you know what this means?

- [Man] Yeah, C-Fu.

- Then you know that it isn't light stuff.

Where you comin' from?

This is what you spent years of your life building for.

- I can pull through it, C-Fu, you know I'm in good shape.

- Yes, but you need your mind and your body.

Either one alone is not enough.

Rodan, what I'm tellin' you is basic.

You know all this!

Admit it.

You still thinkin' about getting at

those guys back in New York.

- Nah, C-Fu.

You got it all wrong.

You got me all wrong.

- I just want you to understand one thing, Ro.

What goes around comes around.

The situation in New York is temporary.

You're in China now, and what you do here

is gonna stay with you for the rest of your life.

So, let's get it together, and stop dreamin'.

- I could understand where you're comin' from, C-Fu.

I can dig it.

(slow oriental music)

- Now that your physical power is at the ninth degree,

it is time for your mind and spirit

to ascend to the same level.

To achieve this, you are to chose a place

known only to your spirit.

You will recognize it when you come upon it.

There you must retreat into meditation,

you must let nothing disturb you.

From you companions here,

you must choose a guardian to protect you.

(tranquil oriental music)

- This cat has been in a trance for hours.

Who the hell does he think I am?

A watchdog or somethin'?

Rodan!

Rodan, where are you?

- [Rodan] Down here, Luke.

You won't believe what I just found.

- [Luke] Hey, weren't you supposed to be watching me?

- No, Luke!

You may be better than me when it comes to fighting,

but that don't mean you can tell me nothing!

- [Luke] Let's get out of here!

This place has strange vibes.

- [Rodan] Sure, sure.

- [Luke] We gotta be in Hong Kong by morning to leave.

- [Rodan] I'll be right with you.

- Alright, you call him and I'll follow.

Hey, where's your man?

- There he is.

(upbeat jive music)

You got it.

(upbeat jive music)

I'll see you in a bit.

Look, go get a massage, okay.

(upbeat instrumental music)

- Okay, let's have the package!

- [Rodan] What is this, some kind of a setup?

- Let's say that a mutual friend of ours

was not satisfied with his winning this morning,

and want to get back his investment.

The cocaine case!

- [Rodan] You mean, that friend at the crap game?

Well, I'm gonna break your--

- Cool it, Rodan, cool it!

The man's got a ride!

Let's get it together and then come back.

- Okay. - Now, cool it.

Give him the stash, give him the stash.

(upbeat instrumental music)

- We're gonna get your little asses for this shit!

- [Man] Cool it, come on Dan.

- Come on, let's go, let me go, man, let me go!

Alright, let's go show these suckers

who they just fucked with.

- [Boy] Hey Mike, come on, we're late for school!

- The Chinese brothers are third world people,

they're not our enemy.

Why you comin' down so hard on them?

- Why?

- Just get the two who hit you.

- Because they all wanna get in on the act.

Besides, they got it coming.

- [Man] Give me my money!

- What money?

- Listen man, we don't have to go through this no more

if you give me my cash.

- I told you I'm not gonna give you any money.

I don't owe you no $50!

- What do you mean, you're not gonna give me what's mine?

- This kind of of a hassle can turn into an all out war.

Gang fighting isn't worth it.

That's not what martial arts is all about.

I'd lay low for awhile. - What lay low?

You shouldn't seen those cats sprintin'

like they were a bunch of faggots.

- They are, man.

They took one look at our faces and split far and wide.

- They'd rather fight a gorilla in a phone booth

than to mess with us.

- [Man] Right on.

- It's not worth is, Rodan. (shouting)

- What?

- I told you to calm down a little bit,

or otherwise you're gonna have to get out!

- Man, give me my money, alright.

- I mean, that's all we need.

You'll have the pigs comin' down on our head,

bustin' up our school.

And since they know what martial art is,

they'll come in with shotguns.

- No way they can pull that shit.

I'll put an end to it and fast, we're together.

And ready for anything that comes up, pound.

- Hey, what's that you got around your neck?

- Give me my money, man!

Hey, man, don't walk away from me!

(shouting)

- Hey, behave yourselves!

Now, I told you, and I've asked you nicely several times,

keep it down, this time I'm tellin' you!

Or I'll put both of your asses out on the street.

- And I done told you to stay out of my business.

(upbeat jive music) (shouting)

(cheering)

- They should've know that that fine sister

was a karate expert. - Now, they do.

(gong sounding)

(growling)

- [Rodan] Hey, man, what's goin' on, man?

I got some static with a bunch of Chinese niggas, man.

- [Man] Yeah?

- And I'm gonna take the Bjs to smoke their ass tonight.

I'm gonna take this fist, and punch him in his yellow--

- Hey Allen, how's it goin'?

You must have some new business for me?

- Oh, not bad, same ol' thing, you know.

- I figured since you're divorced,

you'd be a real swinger by now.

Hitting all the singles joints.

- Nah, that's not my style.

- How's Joan anyway?

You heard much from her?

- Well, besides canceled alimony checks, not much.

She moved to Philly, so we don't see much of each other.

- Oh, Christ, I forgot to tell you, this is Sam--

- Christopher, how do you do?

Nice to see ya'.

I can tell we're gonna be great partners.

- Wait, what?

- Partners, with my degree in criminology--

- My degree in patience.

- Well, we'll be another Watson and Holmes.

Nice to see you, I've gotta go see the chief.

- What the hell was that?

- I was gonna tell you, Cris.

That's Mike Walkburn's son.

They sent him up here, and you need the driver.

- The driver, not a joker.

Wait, Mike Walkburn?

Mike Walkburn from the complaint department?

Oh, come on.

- Why not?

Take it easy, it's good departmental diplomacy.

Politics, you know.

- Politics, that's what's wrong

with this goddamn department!

- Hey, Cris, give 'em a try. - I'll give him a try.

I'll give him a try alright,

but I know what he's gonna be givin' me.

(ringing) - Allen's office.

Yep, hey Cris, for you.

- Yeah.

When?

Okay, I'll be right over.

Mark, you better get our new recruit

out of the chief's office.

Looks like he's gonna get his first chance to play Watson.

- What's up?

- Subway kill, it looks like a murder one.

- To smell this bad, he'd of had to have been

dead for a couple of days.

- Yeah.

- Why didn't we find it sooner?

- I dont know, Sam, I dont know.

Question is how did he die?

The body looks like it's been mangled by a meat grinder.

Okay, boys, take him away,

and make sure I get a full autopsy made, huh.

- Hey, Cris!

Who's your new friend?

- Sam, my new driver.

Ed, the local school reporter.

- How do you do? - Nice to meet you.

- What's the theory, Mr. Supersleuth?

- Ed, the last time I gave you a hunch,

you had every suspect out of town in 15 minutes.

Now, just give me a week to get an autopsy,

and have some details down, and then maybe,

just maybe, I might give you a statement.

Right now, do me a favor, and get lost, huh.

- Now, that's no way to talk to a journalist.

- Hey, you know what the penalty is

for impersonation in this state?

Go find yourself a corpse.

- Nice to have met you. (sighs)

Christopher? - Yeah.

- Do you really have a theory?

- No, not really.

But there is a possibility that there's a gang war

goin' on between the black gangs and the Chinese gangs.

And that guy was definitely you know what.

You know what I think?

I think the best move to make is keep an eye

on each end of this town.

- [Sam] Right now?

- [Cris] Right now.

- [Man] Oo, sorry!

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Hey! (banging)

Hey!

Hey, you son of a bitch!

(pensive instrumental music)

- [Boy] Please, help me.

Somebody, please, help me.

I can't move, my foot is caught.

Please help.

- [Man] Okay, okay.

I'm coming.

- [Boy] Hurry, please don't leave me here.

I'm scared.

- Where the hell are you?

- [Boy] I can see you.

- [Man] Gosh, it's dark in here.

Okay, okay.

Alright!

- [Boy] Over here.

- [Man] Yeah?

Oh my God! (screaming)

- May the peace of the almighty be with you.

May your soul rest in peace.

May the peace of the almighty be with you

forever and ever and ever, amen.

(gagging)

- You alright, Sam?

- [Sam] Yeah, I've just never seen

anything like that before. - Yeah, neither have I.

Two murders in two days in the same station, Jesus.

- It looks like your murderer wasn't greedy.

They say they find a full wallet on him,

so that leaves out robbery.

- That's good thinkin', Ed, that's very good thinkin'.

Guess what, I wanna make a statement about yesterday.

- [Ed] Oh, yeah, just a minute.

Okay.

- That body that was found in the subway...

- Yeah.

- It was definitely dead.

And the department figures that the probable

cause of death was murder.

Back it up.

- You wanna know what I think?

- Yeah.

- About four years ago, there was a story in the papers.

It seems that when they were building the old subways,

they had to break through the sewers,

and it seems that a lot of workmen

broke through the sewers and were attacked by animals.

These were animals that had become mutant:

dogs, cats, rats, alligators, all the throwaways.

And they'd developed senses that other animals didn't have:

fangs, claws, they're wild, they lived off each other.

Survival of the species, and they attacked the workmen.

Now, I think it's very possible that those workmen

did not seal up the sewers the way

they should've been sealed up,

and that those animals are roaming through the subways.

- Okay, thanks.

- Your welcome. - For the story.

- Hey, come on, you're not gonna print that, are you?

It sounds like an Edgar Allen Poe story for Christ sakes.

Hey, look, Sam, let's start using some rational logic, huh.

And lesson one, keep your mouth shut in front of reporters.

Save the horror stories for the kids.

Come on.

Alright, boys, stay here with the body

until the guys from the morgue get down.

"Police point finger at underground animals.

"According to a well informed source,

"the recent subways murders maybe attributed

"to mutant cats, rats, and dogs inbred and inhabiting

"the subways for several years."

Christ, that's all we need!

We'll have every little old lady who sees a mouse

askin' us for protective custody.

- Well, I got carried away.

- Well, next time don't get carried away!

Now...

We've got definite reports on fighting

between the Chinese and the black gangs

in the same areas as the murders.

Now, this first guy was Chinese.

The other guy just may have been some unfortunate bystander.

But the way both bodies were mutilated,

I can't help thinkin' that...

Well, anyway, this is what we're gonna do.

Okay, I put men on stakeout at every subway station

from 168th Street down to 96th Street.

That gives us a coordinate around the entire area

where the murders took place.

I've also got a hotline to a team of social workers

down in China Town that's keep us informed

of any unusual movement.

If anything happens, we'll know about it.

Hopefully, we'll know about it in time.

- Christopher, what about my theory about the animals?

- Don't worry about it, Sam.

Even one of your saber-toothed rats

won't get through the net we put up.

(upbeat jive music)

- Hey, man, there's two chinks on our back.

- As if I didn't know.

Come on, let's get out this place.

Oh, wow, we got ourselves some static.

(upbeat jive music)

I know you.

(scuffling) (upbeat jive music)

He's wasted, let's get out of here.

- Yeah.

(upbeat jive music)

- Great, let's see what we got here.

Christopher, I got an idea. - Yeah.

- Why don't you come up to the club this weekend,

we'll play a little tennis. - Nah, nah, that's not my dig.

Besides, we got a case to work on.

- Well, it'll be good for you,

it'll get your mind off the case.

- I don't play tennis, Sam.

- What do you mean you don't play tennis?

- What I said, I don't play tennis.

- Everybody plays tennis.

- [Woman Over Radio] Pursuit 135th Street and Lennox.

Car 701, proceed to 135th Street and Lennox.

- This is 701, what's up?

- [Woman Over Radio] Possible homicide.

Oriental, medium height, medium weight.

Gang member of Red Dragons.

- This is 701, have 604 take this call, out.

Okay, Sam, let's go, we're goin' to Luke's place.

- Aren't you gonna play that? - What for?

The jack and location tell me all we need to know,

and I wanna speak to Luke.

I think he might know somethin' about these murders.

(eerie instrumental music)

(leery instrumental music)

(screaming)

(screeching)

(crowd scoffing)

- Take your money here for nothing, the goddamn subway.

Too many people, too much pollution, too much of everything.

Hey, you, what are you doing,

you crazy kid, what are you smoking?

He doesn't know what he's doing, this kid.

This kind of place makes you crazy,

and they call me crazy.

Who are you anyway, huh?

What's the matter, huh?

Huh, huh, huh? (snarling)

Stupid dump.

The women here, they wear such short dresses

with their crotch stickin' out.

I dont know what the hell is the matter

with the people these days.

Look at here, look at her, oh my.

What the hell do you think you are?

What's the matter, huh?

Don't you like my looks, baby?

I was prettier than you, believe me,

I was prettier than you. (snarling)

Yeah, hell with her.

They don't know what they're doing in New York.

Politics take their money, they raise the rates.

You know what they're doing now,

they're ticketing 50 cents,

they should drop dead with their money.

Children, children in this world.

Oh, look at, oh, honey.

Honey, you do it for love or for money?

I never saw a guy with this crossed, hmm.

I can't stand this place,

I'm gettin' out of here, I'm goin' to Coney Island.

(screaming)

(sirens blaring)

- [Woman Over Radio] Car 701, car 701.

Proceed to IRT Station, 137th Street and Broadway.

- Dammit, they don't give you a chance

to breath around here.

Sam, call headquarters and tell 'em I'm stuck right now.

- Yeah, brotha', the governor of Jersey

has legalized the numbers.

They even showed the damn results on television

during the news. - In Jersey?

- Mm-hmm. - What?

- They won't let us have nothin'.

Goddamn, numbers?

Man, you know what...

- Hold on, brotha', the man.

- Well, my-my, if it ain't the guardian of the peace.

Are you lost?

Or you lookin' for some desperate criminal

that might be seeking refuge in here?

- That's funny, that's very funny.

Now, why don't you go back and tell Luke

that Lieutenant Allen wants to see him.

- Say, man, we don't run no messenger service.

So, why don't you just go back there

and tell him yourself.

- Sam, wait here, I'll be right back.

- Sure.

(mid-tempo jive music)

Bartender.

Could I have a large coke please

with just a squeeze of lime, please?

(laughing) - A coke?

Are you sure you can handle it?

(laughing)

- Of course he could handle it.

He's momma's big man. (laughing)

- And you figured all these murders tie in with my school.

Get your facts together before you start

accusing me, my man--

- Look, goddammit, I'm not accusing anyone!

I just got news of the fourth victim in two days,

all within a 10 block radius,

and two of them were Chinese.

Now, what the hell am I supposed to think?

And I'll tell you somethin' else, Luke,

if any of these murders involve any of Rodan's people,

there's gonna be a hell of a lot of trouble!

I'll bust their ass all over the goddamn place!

- Look, jam, you do not come to my turf

talkin' about bustin' ass.

You gotta bring some to get some.

- Now, look, goddammit, I came here askin' you for help.

I think we'd all be a lot better if we work

together on this thing!

- Take your hand off of me.

(upbeat jive music)

- Look, I've been under a lot of pressure, man.

These murders have been messy,

there's something inhuman about them.

Outside of Sam's cat theory,

the only other possibility I have is,

well, you know what that is.

Look, Luke, I'm beggin' you for help.

- I can't promise you anything,

but if I hear anything, I'll let you know.

- That's all I'm askin'.

- So, there are alligators down there that are

twice the size as ordinary alligators

with fangs that would chop a leg off like that.

There are rats the size of cats down there,

and they live off each other, the dogs, the cats--

- Alright, Sam, let's get off it and go, huh.

- Anyway, I gotta leave ladies, duty calls.

- Awe.

- [Woman] Well, you come back now, you hear?

- Yeah, I would've did him myself.

(pensive instrumental music)

(screaming)

- Shut up, shut up!

Shut up I said!

Shut up.

Hey, lady, you're lookin' real good.

- Let me go!

- I said shut up.

One word out of you woman, one word,

and you're a dead piece of ass.

- Take your filthy hands off of me!

- What's the matter, don't you like it, huh?

(screaming)

Lady, come with me, somebody.

Help, somebody, help me!

(screaming)

God, help me! (screaming)

- [Cris] Alright, alright, calm down.

Now, who was it that attacked him?

Hmm?

What was it that wasn't human?

Who was it that was killed?

- Well, it wasn't real.

Some deformed monster.

- [Cris] Deformed monster.

- I think it got him.

- Alright, alright, it's gonna be okay, just calm down.

Sam, take her out, and get a full statement.

- Allen's office.

At least one part of her story was right anyway.

Our friend got another one.

Same story.

This guy is so bad, he can't even be identified.

Looks like a lion got him.

- That's five murders in three days.

Four in the subway.

Hey, that's what she said,

"Like it was some kind of monster."

I don't think these subway killings have anything

to do with the gang wars.

I think this is some kind of maniac.

Mark, I want the 135th and 145th Street

stations blocked off.

All trains going through there to be express.

I think it's time we went down,

and smoked this thing out.

(upbeat funk music)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(pensive instrumental music)

- Shoot, it's cold.

(ominous instrumental music)

(choking)

(buzzing)

- Shit, I warned them.

What happened?

- A gang land killing, a member of the Black Jacks.

And they just brought another one out of the subway.

- Who?

- [Officer] I dont know.

- Chance, clear these people back.

- We have three cars over here, and two for post--

- Right, okay, fine--

- Who is it, Sam?

Who is it?

- This goddamn gang fight.

It's time for me to take a trip downtown,

and settle this once and for all.

- Now, Luke, listen to me.

Tom may have been killed by the Red Dragons,

but I don't think Rodan was.

There's somebody else down there,

and we're goin' down there to smoke 'em out.

- Take it to court, Cris.

I got enough proof right here to tell who did this number,

and I'm gonna fix it!

- Now, hold it, Luke!

I'm tellin' you it wasn't the Chinese gangs!

You're just gonna make things worse

by getting blood on your hands.

- Like I said, mister, you do it your legal white way.

I know who did this to my brother,

and I'm gonna fix it.

And I'm gonna do what's got to be done.

- I said no!

- I told you before, stay out of my life!

(pensive funk music)

Where's your leader?

- [Man] None of your business.

- Then I want you.

(pensive funk music)

Ha!

(upbeat funk music)

Now before I punch your face in,

I wanna know just how you killed my student, Rodan.

What kind of rules do you fight by?

Cornering Rodan in the subway.

- I do not understand.

- Your friends there!

They stole cocaine from Rodan,

and now you've killed him! - Wait!

There's a rule among us that we all must fight

to defend our brother.

But if we had known that your brother

would dishonor any of us,

we would never have fought.

They have caused two death, one of yours, one of our own.

They will be dealt with.

However, as for Rodan, your brother,

his death is not our doing.

- What do you mean?

First you iced Tom, then you cornered Rodan in the subway.

- No, it was not us.

- Then who?

- Come with me.

It is time you found out the truth.

- I'll go with you, but I warn you,

if it's a trick, I'll get you first.

- He will help you.

- Does this have something to do with China?

- [Man] Does it, Mr. Curtis?

- How did you know my name?

- [Man] Because of this.

- The amulet.

I told him to put it back.

I thought it might be sacred.

But why would your people kill him for it?

- [Man] Please, Mr. Curtis, let me continue.

This amulet holds the answer to all

that has happened in recent days.

It was brought to me by a member of the Red Dragons.

Unfortunately, the killer must've thought he still had it.

That is why he's dead.

To come 10,000 miles only to be foiled in his search.

There's still hope.

Just amazing.

- I don't understand.

- 2,000 years ago, the sorcerer, Laz Du Lang Tan,

would allow some men to be possessed by demons.

And these he would use to terrorize villages and cities.

Master Chang Dow produced the amulet,

in which he trapped the spirit of the demon.

This is the amulet your friend took.

And this monster is released into the world.

As long as this amulet exists,

the demon is deprived of most of his power.

Even though he is still strong,

he is unable to tolerate light.

That is why narrow subways is a perfect place

for him to hide.

- In my head, your story is fantastic,

but in my heart, I know that you're speaking truth.

- The demon will stop at nothing to regain this amulet.

By destroying it, he will be free forever,

immortal and indestructible.

- In a way, I feel responsible for this.

I chose Rodan to go with me in the first place.

What must I do?

- You must wage the combat.

Our only chance is this amulet.

Challenge the demon, defeat him, and we are saved.

Lose, and the demon will eat the soul

of the man who challenged him.

The demon will try to attack your mind.

He can assume the forms of those you love most,

and those you fear most.

He'll use every trick at his disposal.

I shall try to help in the only way I can.

While you are fighting, I will place my mind with yours.

Perhaps together, we will be stronger than one alone.

- This is for those rats in the ground!

Shrieking, squeaking, shrieking, squeaking.

Yes, and then all of you! (shouting)

- This is the only thing that can stop it.

I know you can't buy it,

I couldn't buy it either--

- That's right, I can't buy it!

Especially the part about you goin' down there!

I don't good heroes, I got four guys to take care of that.

- Cris, you won't be able to hit it

with anything that can stop it.

As a matter of fact, you're gonna be picked

off alone or together.

If I don't make it, then you can go in.

- Your leaders are dead!

Moses is dead!

Mohammed is dead!

Buddha is dead!

And I'm appealing to come help!

- That's my job, so for the last time, the answer's no!

- Christopher! - Okay, okay.

Wait here, I'll be right back.

- These feverish rats, shrieking, squeaking!

Lusting to sink their teeth into your wicked heart.

Huge black rats!

(chiming)

(pensive instrumental music)

- Where's Luke?

Sam!

(pensive instrumental music) (whirring)

Down this way.

(distorted whirring)

- Luke?

Luke?

Why don't you come with me?

Luke, make love to me.

(scuffling)

(distant growling)

- Show yourself! (dramatic music)

If I could see you! (dramatic music)

(scuffling)

(whirring)

(dramatic music)

(whirring)

(dramatic music)

(whirring)

(suspenseful instrumental music)

(scuffling)

(buzzing)

(scuffling)

(ominous instrumental music)

(scuffling)

(ominous instrumental music)

- [Cris] Come on!

- How are you feeling, brother?

- Alright, man, I'm glad you came.

- Good ol' Curtis. - How you doin'?

- It's good to see you, buddy.

- A killer huh.

Hey, what ever happened to the--

- The demon?

We didn't find anything but you down there.

And as for that fancy piece of jewelry, the amulet,

we're lettin' the priest take care of that.

Yeah, it's my first miracle.

No more murders, no more demon,

and your amulet's on a slow boat to China.

(laughing)

- That's funny.

That's the title of a song by Cole Porter.

And George Gerswhin, I think.
