01:16Cartoon to Atlanta.
01:18What's that? 19 hours, give or take?
01:21You must be running on fumes.
01:26What were you doing in Sudan?
01:29Uh, just hanging out. You know, tourist stuff.
01:35Yeah, fascinating.
01:37Tell me about the bottle.
01:40Um, it's, it's an antique.
01:43It's very precious.
01:45Oh, please.
01:47Don't touch.
01:52Yeah, the residue test didn't turn up nothing.
01:55Right here's the wrinkle, Mr. Lester.
01:57This ain't my first rodeo.
01:58No.
02:02Look, I'm warning you, man.

02:49.
02:52.
02:53.
02:55you're right about the park this closeness to nature the energy the people
03:05my senses they feel heightened it's like a drug i wouldn't know seriously you've never dabbled
03:17seriously you try having visions like mine and see if you're so interested in dabbling
03:22i need more control not less
03:24sometimes control is about letting go psychic energy is all around us it's like a network
03:33you have the ability to travel that network you have to lower your walls first
03:38and then you'll be able to see how far you can really go
03:41i see coins they're falling all around us so beautiful
03:52pennies from heaven subtle as a servant people have their own unique markers for when celestial
04:08beings are close by she's a rather traditional it seems how's she doing you think she can help us
04:16well she's more than handled herself this far putting a lot of time and effort into her
04:20let's hope it's not wasted wouldn't want to go down that road again
04:25well she's as tough as they come this one
04:30and it's just until we can sort out this uh rising darkness nonsense and she's free to go on her
04:36own merry way unless you scare her off before not everybody's cut out to do what you do
04:43and not everybody has a stomach to watch you do it well then i'll have to go it alone
04:47like i always have now are you gonna make me guess or are you gonna tell me what's going on

10:34was passed down to solomon
10:35directly from heaven

10:37so you're going to put
10:39gary's genie back in the bottle
10:40the taba at shlomo
10:41has strong containment magic
10:42it's perfect for preparing

11:25that depends on your perspective doesn't it
11:29maybe he used us
11:30bought our friendship
11:32there's one thing gary knew how to do
11:35it was use
11:36but back in the day
11:37he used to love to get high
11:38just the party stuff
11:40nothing hard
11:41but it seems that after newcastle
11:44he's graduated to full-blown junkie
11:48you want to tell me about newcastle
11:50it's a town in the north of england
11:53horrible weather
11:54and even worse football team

12:49oh god

12:56no!
12:56no!
12:57no!
12:57uh
12:58no!
12:59no!
12:59and
13:00go go go go go go go go
13:02oh
13:05I'm NEW how
13:05How come she gets whatever she wants?
13:13She's over there!
13:14Fam, you should not be doing that!
13:20That's enough!
13:21We're hungry!
13:21It's not yet known whether the virus is transmitted via these insects or person to person.
13:36There is, however, little doubt that this outbreak could mushroom and rapidly.
13:41The gift that keeps on giving, eh, guys?
13:42The victims were gorging on food just prior to their sudden death.
13:47Diagnostic tests are underway on these victims.
13:50Sounds like a hunger demon.
13:51Nasty, mindless bastards with no thought other than to consume, to excess.
13:57Sound familiar?
13:59I'm clean, Lloyd-Jones.
14:00That's gonna stay that way, I swear.
14:01I'll leave it out, guys. I don't have the time.
14:04That thing's gonna eat its way through the heart of the city one poor wretch at a time.
14:07Unless I stop it.
14:08I'm coming with you.
14:10Are you taking the piss?
14:11It's my responsibility.
14:12Forget it.
14:14You're the last person I want by my side on this.
14:18On anything.
14:19Do us a favor, will you?
14:22What's wrong with him?
14:25John.
14:27John!
14:28You know I don't see a lot of people wanting enough to land your hand.
14:31Maybe you should accept his help.
14:33People can change, you know?
14:35Bollocks.
14:36We are who we are.
14:39Eventually.
14:39There he goes again.
14:48Charging head first into the face of danger.
14:52Is that what happened at Newcastle?
14:54John doesn't seem to want to talk about it.
14:57Too much pain.
15:00Same reason I got into the junk.
15:02Try to forget.
15:03A thing like that.
15:07You don't ever forget.
15:10Back then we all thought John was the duck's nuts.
15:14Some of the crew were interested in the occult, but most of us just wanted to be around him.
15:19So when he started talking about this trip to Newcastle,
15:23we all jumped at the chance.
15:27Road trip.
15:28Some black magic with the John Constantine.
15:32Who could say no?
15:36But then there was this girl.
15:39She was a daughter of one of John's friends.
15:42She was possessed.
15:45Nobody knew what to do.
15:47How to save her.
15:49John.
15:51He had a plan.
15:52Astra?
15:56I heard you mention that name before.
15:58What happened to her?
16:06Amen.
16:09I'm sure you did what you could.
16:14Care enough to try and that's what counts.
16:21Gary!
16:22You need to see it.
16:46You need to see it.
16:46Are you all right?
16:47Let's blow you up.
16:48He's going to go back.
16:48Go to the mouth.
16:49He's grabbing.
16:50Excuse me.
17:11Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
17:13I already told everybody.
17:14We didn't see anything.
17:15Look, I know what you're thinking.
17:18If I tell this guy what I saw, he's going to think I'm crazy, right?
17:21Look, we just want to go home.
17:23Please.
17:24Two minutes is all I need.
17:28There were bugs.
17:31Lots of bugs.
17:33Is that so?
17:34When the woman died, they just came up out of her like a swarm.
17:41I mean, most people had run off by then, but we were still there.
17:45What happened to them after they left the woman?
17:47Well, that's where it gets real crazy, because they just flew into a swarm.
17:51And then there was this guy, a meat delivery guy, and they all just flew right into him.
17:56You happened to catch the name of the company the delivery guy worked for?
17:59Well, there was a pig and a cow dancing on his shirt.
18:04Dancing, were they?
18:05Well, that's something I'd like to see.
18:08Thanks a lot.
18:20You wouldn't be laughing if you knew what was in store for you.
18:22Is there anyone in here?
18:37Okay.
18:55So, let's get started.
19:25Oh, this gets more fun by the second.
19:33Anyone in here still alive?
19:35Preferably not possessed and feeling peckish.
19:43Hello.
19:45Joe.
19:48We can chat later, but right now I'm addressing the entity inside you.
19:55The power of the Lord is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the
20:25Oh, fuck.
20:33Oh, fuck.
20:55How the bloody hell did a squozy little toe rag like you manage to capture a thing like that?
21:09What happened?
21:10You okay?
21:12Are you okay, more like?
21:15I'm fine.
21:18You found it? The demon?
21:21You sure know how to pick them, Gary.
21:24Maybe the rise in darkness, but it's stronger than any hunger demon I've ever encountered.
21:35I've trapped it for now, but it'll be loose again soon enough.
21:40We need to identify it with absolute certainty to put it down for good.
21:44You know, maybe.
21:47Maybe this will help.
21:54There's no maybe about it, love.
21:56If they're authentic.
21:57No, earlier today, Gary and I, we touched and I experienced a psychic transference.
22:04You, uh, touched.
22:08No.
22:09No, no, not like that.
22:10I mean, we only touched for like a second.
22:12But the connection, it wasn't like I was just in his head because it was deeper than that.
22:16I felt his pain and his guilt and his addiction.
22:21And after, I...
22:23His withdrawal symptoms.
22:26You got all the lows and none of the highs.
22:29Rough deal, I'd say.
22:31It's probably best if you two kids keep your hands to yourself.
22:35For now.
22:36Right.
22:41I'm off to see a man about a dog.
22:43Or rather a shaman about a bloody demon.
22:47Not hungry?
23:04Not particularly, mate.
23:06I expected you sooner.
23:08The goat entrails indicated yesterday is your time of arrival.
23:12Well, don't believe everything you read, no more.
23:16Check out today's inquiry or they'll have you believe in a virus that's sweeping the city.
23:21But you know better.
23:23Not about most things, but, uh...
23:26Afraid it's less a case of runny nose, more a case of nasty hunger demon.
23:31The problem's contained for the moment, but I need answers to finish it off.
23:37We've traced it back as far as Sudan.
23:40Well, we're not sure if that's where it originated.
23:42Sudan.
23:43Hmm.
23:44Khartoum.
23:47Used to call this poor Sodom, before it flew the coop.
23:54The demon you seek is called Mnemoth.
23:57How do we stop it?
23:58I don't know.
24:00There's a way for us to discover it together, but it requires some...
24:04travel.
24:05So, by travel, you mean trip.
24:11A shared vision.
24:13I can guide you through it, but you need to see it the way I do, through my eyes.
24:17It's been a while since I've taken any psychedelics.
24:20Most of them make me puke these days.
24:23This isn't most psychedelics.
24:26The mist may well be the most powerful drug in the world.
24:29Once taken, its effects last forever.
24:33Well, you know me, I'm game for a laugh, but forever seems a bit excessive, no?
24:37The nectar of Nihalik.
24:40A natural counter-agent.
24:54Bloody hell, that is heinous.
24:57An acquired taste, certainly.
24:59So, if we're tripping balls, how do we know to take the nectar?
25:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...
25:25I'd call it a hunch, but it is because it might be working.
25:30Again.
25:51Nemeth has always been with us.
25:53Through all the famines, the hunger of the starving masses gave the spirit strength.
25:58Nothing could satisfy the demon's appetite.
26:01After consuming a body, it moved on to the next, leaving a growing trail of death.
26:06The shaman couldn't sit by and watch his people starve.
26:10He could see what no one else could.
26:13This was the evil work of a dark spirit.
26:16He faced an impossible choice, for they were all his children.
26:21There was only one way to stop it.
26:23The demon was invited to enter the boy whom the shaman offered as a sacrifice.
26:29The sacred kusa knife, used for the scarification.
26:33Passed down by generations of shaman.
26:36Centuries of powerful magic contained within.
26:39The tongue had to be removed, so the shaman could not be cursed for what he did.
26:49The baton had to be precise.
26:54The demon was now trapped by the containment markings the shaman left, knowing it would ultimately consume the boy and itself.
27:06This is a plan.
27:08Shame it didn't stick.
27:10Shame it didn't stick.
27:11I mean, what are the odds the kid lands himself in the one bloody alley that Gary Lester stumbles into?
27:23I mean, what are the odds the kid lands himself in the one bloody alley that Gary Lester stumbles into?
27:28Take it slowly, my friend.
27:45Don't worry, mate.
27:46It's not my first disco.
27:49So, the headline here is, uh, I'm gonna need one of those fancy blades, right?
27:55A sacred kusa.
27:57Good luck finding one in this town.
27:59Well, we wouldn't want to make things easy now, would we?
28:08I'm sorry, I just feel too trapped in here.
28:13Useless.
28:14Just concentrate on feeling better.
28:17John can handle the rest.
28:19Come on, Gary.
28:21There's nothing for you to do.
28:22I beat that demon once.
28:24I can do it again.
28:30No.
28:33No.
28:39I didn't want to do this.
28:40But you didn't give me a choice.
28:43It's my fault the things out there.
28:45It's my responsibility to stop it.
28:48Sorry.
28:49I'm sorry.
29:08Zed?
29:10Got it.
29:11What'd I tell you two about keeping your hands to yourselves?
29:17You're not as funny as you think.
29:20No, no, no, no, no. Take it easy. Take it easy.
29:27What happened?
29:28It's just...
29:29He just wants to help.
29:42He's so wracked with guilt.
29:44He's going after the demon himself.
29:46Told you that, did he?
29:49Yes, he did.
29:50And he meant it.
29:51I felt it.
29:52That's not what's happening.
29:53Trust me.
29:54Why do you always want to see the worst in people?
29:57I see the truth.
29:59Gary's hopelessly addicted to heroin.
30:02And let me give you a little tip about addicts.
30:05Between thought and action comes temptation.
30:09Always.
30:17Nice one, lads.
30:18I think I just heard a rib crack.
30:20Oh, no, no, no, no.
30:21Don't stop on my account.
30:22In fact, maybe I can help.
30:26I'm guessing that this little misunderstanding
30:28has something to do with the purchase of narcotics, correct?
30:31Best high you'll ever have.
30:37On my life.
30:44Must be getting soft.
30:46Should have let those two keep going on you.
30:48Get you out of my hair for good.
30:51So why didn't you?
30:54You are a massive pain in the ass, Gary Lester.
30:57Make you still my mate.
30:59What was the pity?
31:04Friends don't betray each other.
31:11I betrayed you.
31:13I betrayed her.
31:15Oh, don't worry about Zed.
31:16She's a tough bird, that one.
31:18I'm talking about Astra.
31:20There's something I need to tell you, John.
31:31About Newcastle.
31:34Get out of the sea.
31:35Please.
31:37I need to say this.
31:42I was high.
31:43I've been smoking all day.
31:46By the time the seance started,
31:55I was well canned.
31:58And then, when everything started going pear-shaped,
32:02I hid...
32:09Under a bed in a room upstairs.
32:13With screams.
32:15I can still hear them, John.
32:17She was being dragged to hell.
32:20I just laid there in my own stinking piss.
32:23Closed my eyes, covered my ears.
32:24And when it was all done...
32:30I ran.
32:36John.
32:40Say something, please.
32:41It wasn't your fault, mate.
