Prime Evil

In the year of our Lord, 1349,

the black death had already decimated

more than half of Europe.

It was both a devote and superstitious time

and the people believed that God was visiting

the plague upon them to expiate their sins.

Father Thomas, in the name of God!

God?

Whose God? God has forsaken us.

That is blasphemy.

There was great turbulence within the church.

The fallen angel, Lucifer, seized this opportunity.

He chose a leader who would recruit a great following

and administer his prime evil throughout the world.

We have pledged ourselves to the only real God.

The only true force.

Our lord god, Satan!

I will excommunicate you for this blasphemy!

I have given you fair warning.

Join us now or die.

- Never! - Then die.

I commend him to thee, oh Satan.

Thus we seal up our bargain.

Who will be next?

Join us now and live forever

or die for nothing.

You'll burn in hell, Brother Seaton.

- Father Daniel! - I've got to see the bishop.

I've got to see the bishop.

- Father. - They're back.

- What's the matter? - God help us.

Father Fallen. George, come quick!

In the name of our lord, god Satan,

the ruler of the world,

I hereby command the forces of darkness

to bestow their infernal powers upon me.

- ls she pure? - Yes.

I swear it in the name of Satan.

- ls she your child? - Yes.

- Swear it in the name of Satan! - She is my daughter.

I swear it in the name of Satan.

Know this to be true.

With a sacrifice of your child

you will be granted 13 years under the protection

of our lord god, Satan.

For 13 years you will have power.

For 13 years you will want for nothing.

For 13 years you will not grow older.

13 years from this day,

you will once again prove your devotion

to our lord god, Satan,

with another sacrifice of a blood relation.

You know what must be done.

- I do. - Then seal your pact with Satan.

Daddy, no!

" Ben?

Where the hell are you?

Look Ben, I don't have all--

- You goddamn jerk! - I was working on the boilers.

Here's the list.

Remember,

if you have to take anyone out, it's got to look like an accident.

What's the matter? You want me to read it for you?

- I can read. - Look, you better get moving.

There isn't all that much time. We don't want to disappoint Thomas, do we?

Get out.

Alex is waiting. I've gotta go.

I'll see you later, okay?

- Yeah, I'll be waiting. - I'm not sure I deserve you.

I'm not sure you deserve me either.

You really are gonna wait for me?

Bye.

I love you too, honey.

I gotta go Okay, bye bye-

Well, don't you look like the oat

that just swallowed the little yellow bird.

- Oh, Alex, I'm in love. - That mean you guys are serious?

If you call love serious.

Do you know it was one month, today,

since you first walked into this shelter?

And one month since you haven't taken any drugs or did any tricks for Leon.

Does he ever try to get you back?

Yeah, I see him on the street sometimes.

He acts like he never even knew me.

- That's because he didn't. - You know Leon.

He's gotta be cool.

I have a job for you.

Now don't get excited, but it's on Wall Street.

- Wall Street? - It's a paralegal position.

You'll be making about $23.05.

Oh my god, do you think I could get it?

They saw your resume and they seemed really impressed.

A paralegal on Wall Street? I don't know.

Cathy, you're a college graduate. You've got credits in criminal law

and I don't suppose Leon knew that, did he?

I'm glad he didn't.

The job interview is tomorrow at two o'clock.

I'll write down the address.

Then there's a problem with your probation officer,

but I spoke to her this morning.

- Oh shit. - Everything's fine.

She's really happy with what you've done with yourself.

She's really proud of you.

- You should be proud of me. - I am.

Come on, I want you to meet Sam.

Sam, this is my dear friend, Alex.

- Nice to meet you. - Sam here.

So, you're the one that's stealing Cathy away.

- I'm gonna give it a shot. - Well, I'm not exactly resisting.

Nice to meet you.

Cathy, good luck.

And you guys behave yourself.

I can not believe there are so many health freaks.

With all eight new members today, I've never worked so hard in my life, I swear.

- What do you call this? - This I call relaxing.

What do you think, Alex? Are my tits in shape or what?

You look great.

Oh God, I met this guy last night.

The way he looked at me, I could tell. Definitely a breast man.

His eyes went straight to boob level.

It's a good thing too. If he were a leg man, I'd be doomed.

I'm cellulite from the waist down.

Anyway, I'm seeing him again tonight.

I'm optimistic, so I picked up some of those

multicolored condoms at the Korean Deli on my lunch break.

They came with the pickled ginger to the right of the broccoli at the salad bar.

God, Alex, there's nothing like one-stop shopping.

Anyway, I'm buying the wine.

I'm buying the dinner.

I already got the Korean condoms.

God.

I swear,

men are so confused these days.

Girl has to do everything herself.

You know, I could be wrong, Alex.

I think Norman may be Mister Right.

Norman?

Brett, I don't know how many Mister Rights you've told me about this month.

Big deal. So I'm experimenting.

How about you? You been going with Bill.

- We just started going out. - Yeah, three months ago.

You never talk about him.

What is there to talk about?

What do you think?

Isn't it too sexy?

Or too trendy?

You look great, Brett. Look, I gotta go. I'm really late.

Oh no, wait a minute.

Now come on, just tell me.

HOW is that Old Bill?

- What do you mean, how is he? - You know, how is he in bed?

Is that all you ever think about? No.

Yeah.

Well, no.

Oh come on, you never talk about it.

- Maybe I'm not obsessed with is, okay? - Oh, maybe you're afraid of it.

What are you, my analyst?

No, as a matter of fact, I happen to be your friend and I'd just like to see you happy.

Maybe I don't think happiness

is jumping in and out of bed with people.

Thank you very much, Alex. Maybe I am just a bit extreme,

but you're extreme too. The other extreme.

Don't you wanna get poked?

You wanted to see me, Sister Angela?

Bishop McCabe, I know what happened to Father Daniel.

It was sad, but expected. He had a massive coronary.

No. They killed him.

You're holding their talisman in your hand.

Sister Angela,

how much do you know about this?

When I was a child, we traveled a lot.

My father had business in many countries.

My mother was always so strange.

Towards the end of her life we lived in Egypt

and it was there that she met those people.

She became devoted to them.

And one night, I was taken to a great hall.

I was barely conscious.

When I woke, I was chained to a cross.

Father came and rescued me

and mother died a few weeks later.

That whole night is very blurry,

except for one thing.

That.

That face

was on the monster that they used.

They used me.

Mother let them use me.

I went away to school.

There was evil in the world,

so I joined the convent.

You poor child. I'm afraid it's worse than you think.

Hundreds of years ago,

thousands perhaps, a sect, a cult was developed,

which worshiped a pre-Christian horn to God.

They were dedicated to destruction, damnation

and the weakness of the flesh.

Some are thought to have eternal life

granted to them by Satan.

I believe they've returned.
