Amityville Rex

Perfect.

Did you see that?

The door shut on its own.

You are a mere shadow of the Christ...

A failure... licking his wounds and waiting for the day

you will be smote out for good.

Dear God in heaven, continue to hold this house in your arms

and bathe it in your glory.

Ah.

Ah.

A dinosaur... the earliest of God's creations.

Ah.

Ah.

I have work to do.

Good afternoon, viewers.

Today's main story concerns the discovery

of a prehistoric animal buried under Oceanview Drive,

right in our own backyard.

The PBE construction firm was renovating the area

with new sidewalks and a jogging park

when they struck something beneath the current structures.

It didn't take long for them to realize just exactly what they

had uncovered.

Further examination revealed the bones

of what appears to be a carnivorous animal, presumably

from the tyrannosaurus rex species of dinosaur.

The project was halted until the bones could be excavated

and moved to the Natural Display Works

building, where it has already been set up in a display.

We go now to our reporter on the scene.

Thank you, Dina.

Could you please tell us your name?

Uh, my name is Wain.

And what do you do here, Wain?

Well, here at the Natural Work Center,

I am in charge of the day-to-day operations,

I set up the displays, and, oh, I'm the night watchman too.

Oh.

You won't have to worry about anyone

stealing your latest exhibit, will you?

No.

I don't think so.

So tell us about the new setup you have here

unearthed from beneath our very own streets?

Well, what we have here is the partial remains

of a tyrannosaurus rex.

The rest of it is still being excavated on site.

We've assembled it here as best we can, and the public is

free to come and look at it

8:30 to 4:30, Monday through Saturday.

Oh.

Will this be a permanent exhibit?

No.

All our displays are temporary until we can find them

a home in a permanent museum.

Ah, I see.

And do you have a fascination with the exhibits

that this center provides to the public?

No.

Child support and alimony is what keeps me here.

I was gonna start a business with a friend of mine,

but he disappeared.

Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Back to you, Dina.

Thank you for that on-location update.

To all our viewers, we encourage you to check out the display

and support the Natural Display Works building.

Master, the day of our rebirth has come.

I, the channeler, your humble and devoted servant,

have seen the signs.

The beast has been found...

The beast you have predicted will show the new way

to our people and others.

Its resurrection will bring forth a new evil

to an already corrupt region.

I will go, I will set in motion the prophecy I will follow.

Then I will lead.

Damn.

I wonder when they're gonna back off.

Hello?

The boss wants his money

you took from him, doll face.

You know, he'd take you back if you came back with the cash.

He's a forgiving guy like that.

Tuesday, bitch.

It's lights out.

See you soon.

Oh, and don't go talking to the cops.

Boss wouldn't like that.

Shit.

I gotta get that money.

Hello?

Jackie, hi, it's Inspector Leeds.

I'm making a follow-up call.

Hello, Inspector.

I'm still working on the case of the stolen

money and the disappearance, murder of several contacts

you were associated with.

Look, I've answered all your questions.

Yes, but not to my satisfaction.

Can you come down to the station this afternoon?

I'd like to press your memory on some more issues.

Do I have to?

Not at all.

I can send some cops over to escort you down

if you feel inclined.

So I have to.

Let's just say it's in your best interest.

Bring your attorney along if you like.

I can't afford one.

Well, legally, you're entitled to a public attorney.

We can get you one.

Yeah.

More of your crony friends?

No, thanks.

What time?

Uh, let's say 2:30.

See you then.

Great.

Now what am I gonna fucking do?

Wain.

This, Master, I offer to thee

as I begin the journey to invoke and awaken our deliverer.

Guide me and protect me from the unbelievers

who may stand in my way.

Construction work at the center.

A dinosaur skeleton.

What does it all mean?

What evil has the Dark One planned this time?

Dinosaur.

I feel there's a connection here.

A channeler is an ambassador

to Satan, one who does his bidding.

Usually cloaked and dangerous, sent on tasks of the gravest

nature, channelers were thought to have been eradicated

by the church near the turn of the 18th century.

Hello?

Natural Work Center.

Can I help you?

Hi, Wain.

It's Jackie.

My goodness.

How are you?

I haven't heard from you in a while.

Well, you know, here and there,

just trying to earn a living.

I hear you.

What can I do for you?

Um, do you by chance still have Beach's scuba equipment?

Yeah, it's still packed away in the back of my vehicle.

Why?

Oh.

I don't know.

It's... it's gonna sound silly, but I just...

Yeah?

Well, ever since he passed away, I just...

I feel like I want something else to remember him by.

I get that.

I miss Beach, too.

He and I had some big plans together,

but I guess that isn't gonna happen now.

Um, I could give you something for it if you'd like.

No.

No.

He'd want you to have it.

All I have is an air tank and some odds and ends,

but you're welcome to it.

Great.

Um, thanks.

It means a lot.

When can I pick it up?

Whenever you want.

Hmm, tonight?

Sure.

I'm doing a double shift tonight,

so just stop by the building.

But call first.

The doors are locked.

I'll have to let you in.

Certainly.

No problem.

Thanks again.

See you later.

Bye.

What the...

Who... what are you?

You know who I am.

A channeler, right?

A harbinger of evil.

You impress me.

Old-school vocation.

Newer men of the cloth wouldn't know me by name,

nor would they recognize evil so easily.

What do you want?

From you, nothing.

Just a simple warning... stay away.

My position says otherwise.

Leave the battle to my lord...

And yours.

Remember, stay away.
