Oh my god.
999 Emergency.
Which service do you require?
Police, I need police. Now.
Okay, madam, I need
you to stay calm.
Give me your name
and tell me where you are.
My name. Darling.
Telling tales out of school.
What seems to be
the problem officer?
Sierra alpha nine to control.
Peekaboo pussy cat.
Hello my darling.
Shall we have one last dance.
Fuck you. Get off!
You should be honored.
You're my number seven.
Go to hell!
That is the idea.
Come on darling.
You know you want it in you.
You always did.
I'm gonna count to ten.
Two. Three.
Four.
Five.
Six. Seven.
Eight. Nine.
Ten. Coming.
Run little pussy
cat. Run, run, run.

Sierra Echo Three
to control. Go.
I see one male. 60s.
No sign of life.
Ambulance required.
Like I
said, I can't fault your CV.
If anything,
you're overqualified, and
you clearly know your fashion.
But we're heading
into wedding season,
which can be long hours.
Lots of fittings and
all the rest of it.
Oh, please, just
give me a chance.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you
down.
Oh. I'm sorry.
If you'll excuse
me for a moment.
I've been waiting for
an update on my little girl.
She's been ever so poorly.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
What's your daughter's name?
Gertie.
But it's not my daughter.
She's my little pussycat.
Oh, my little pussycat.
How sweet.
You've given me a mouse.
Mousey. Mousey.
Mousey mouse.
Julia?
I'm sorry. I got to go.
Stay the hell away from me.
I didn't mean to alarm you.
My name is Mike Craggs
from the Ghost Show. Yes.
Yes.
Do you mind just lowering that?
I'm sorry.
Why are you following me?
Well, I can assure you, it's
not my usual behavior, but I.
My assistant tried calling
you several times,
yet you didn't get the hint.
Oh, I'm a very
persistent fellow.
I know what this is about.
I'm not interested.
Look, I'm sure I'm not the
first to make you an offer.
And believe me, I don't want
to open up old wounds. But.
There are no buts.
I've heard it all before.
I'll give you 50,000
pounds for one day's work.
Well, it's not about the money.
Oh, everything's
about the money.
I've just signed
with the streamer
for an eye watering amount.
They've commissioned
ten new episodes.
And I want to start
with your story.
You and Henry Decker,
the definitive account.
And I can arrange for ten%
to be paid into your bank.
First thing in the morning.
I have to go.
Miss Piven.
My card.
Think about it.
She's had her dinner.
Thanks so much. Thanks.
How was it?
How's what?
You had an interview?
Oh, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
What is it?
I've been asked to mind you
about the invoice.
It's overdue.
So sorry.
I'll have it soon.
A few days, you have my word.
Have you ever thought
about writing a book about it?
You know about what happened?
No. Good night. Rebecca.
Oh, darling.
Thank you.
You're the best daughter
in the whole world.
You know that, don't you?
Well, I should do by now.
You tell me every day.
That's because it's true.
I'm so proud of you.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I can read you like a book.
You that show you
always watching?
The one about ghosts?
Oh, yeah.
Specter investigates.
It's so good.
And it's not just about ghosts.
No, it's about satanic cults
and demonic possessions.
Mike Craggs, he's the best.
He's an oily creep,
if you ask me.
How do you know what he's like?
Because I just met him.
He was waiting for me outside.
What? He wants me
to do the show.
You didn't invite
him in for a cup of tea
so I could meet him?
Mom. Be serious.
For years, people
have wanted me to talk
about what happened.
But I don't know, to go on TV
and get paid.
Just feels wrong.
Disrespectful
to all those other poor women.
Sharing their stories
isn't disrespectful.
It's a way of remembering them.
Oh, I remember the
first day I met Henry.
He just that horrible
box delivered.
What was it called?
The hell bringer?
The harbinger.
I'll never forget him
standing beside it,
looking pleased as punch.
That's the image I can't forget.
Not his victims. Him?
His face. His name.
You could change that.
You know.
Darling, I just want
you to be you again.
Get that sparkle
back in your eyes.
If there's a chance
that you can get some closure,
even a little bit,
it's worth a try, isn't it?
Oh, I don't know, mum.
Don't you let the past control
you, darling?
It doesn't own you.
I was lucky.
Darling, I do love you.
I love you too, mum.
Let's get an early night. Mum.
It looks like a storm coming.
Good evening,
and welcome to specter.
Investigates.
My name is Henry Decker,
and I'm delighted to be joined
this evening
by my beloved Julia.
Isn't she beautiful
and so brave?
Tell me, Julia,
just how brave are you?
What's that?
You'll have to speak up my dear.
Awww! You evil bastard!
Oh, please.
This is a family show.
Almost felt the concept of evil
as endlessly fascinating.
Nietzsche once said,
do not battle with monsters,
lest you become
a monster.
Of course, everything
sounds better
in German.
Monsters.
Demons.
Evil itself.
Is all so
inevitable.
Necessary and oh so wonderful.
Thrax alor vaskun drath'el.
Nekthar voh ul,
sarenoth ka-thir.
You want to be careful of that?
I know you got a spine
like a wet noodle.
Why don't you give him a hand
instead of standing around
making smarmy comments?
Hey, everyone's got
their part to play.
Standing around making smarmy
comments is what I do best.
Thank you.
Here
Let me help. No.
Thank you. I'm okay.
Careful. He gets very cross
if you touch his stuff,
don't you, Chris?
Has anyone heard
from the others?
Mike's going to pick
up this Julia bird.
As for Neal. Fuck knows.
Has anyone actually
met her before?
No, but I've read about her.
Seriously, how can
you live with a devil
worshiping serial killer
and not have a clue
what he's up to?
Come on, that's not fair.
Don't be so naive.
She was obviously in on it.
She must have been.
He tried to kill her.
She has a point.
Yeah, of course she does.
Kathryn always has a point.
Actually, he was a demon
worshiping serial killer.
What are you talking about?
She said devil worshiping
serial killer. It's incorrect.
Look who gives a fuck.
He murdered six women.
Are you seriously telling me
she was oblivious
to the whole thing?
It's not likely, is it?
Some people can be very devious.
Oh, I would have seen
right through him.
You'd have scared him away.
Greetings, team.
I take it for all.
Set. Excellent.
Yes, boss.
All packed and ready
to cock and roll.
You must be Julia.
Indeed.
The star of our show.
Well, let me introduce everyone.
This reprobate is Barney,
our cameraman and his
better half.
April, our sound tech.
This is Chris, an expert
in all things supernatural.
And last, but most definitely
not least, Kathryn,
who makes me look vaguely
presentable on camera.
It's why I get
paid the big bucks.
Well, it's lovely
to meet you all.
And you, you really
are so very brave.
Where's Neal?
Oh, I don't know.
He's probably one of his
ghost hunts again.
playing with his crystal balls.
Who's Neal?
Oh, big fan of the
show, then are you.
I've seen it a few times.
My mum likes it.
Well, Neal is
our resident psychic.
Resident psychic slash diva.
Slash pain in my ass.
Well, let's just say
he can be a little -
Unhinged?
Unorthodox.
Anyway, before we go, I.
Yes, I'd like to
say a few words.
This is the start of a new era.
Yes. We are about to make
television history
with a new episode of Specter
Investigates.
So let's get busy.
Yes.
You mob can go in that car
and I'll take Julia in my car.
This way Julia.
There's something
in your hair.
Dandruff. Let me get it out.
Oh, hello, what are we got here?
Ahh Is that your girlfriend?
That is this,
daughter you idiot.
Oh. So you have had sex
Once, then. Well done mate.
Round of applause
for Chris, everyone.
Don't be so horrible.
Well, I'm obviously
joking, aren't I?
He loves a bit of
banter, don't you, mate?
See? You see it in his eyes.
All four of them.
Just drive.
We'll be filming on
location, but it will
be out of sequence.
We'll grab a few exterior shots
and then shoot day for night.
Inside, it'll be
more atmospheric.
Who owns the house now?
Do you know what?
I can't remember
the fella's name.
He was a collector,
obsessed with the occult.
Henry Decker in particular.
But now the old boy is passed
away and the house.
Was back on the
market that I managed
to wrangle a day to shoot there.
Well, before it
gets cleared out.
I'll never understand why
people are so fascinated
by these monsters.
I guess it's people like Decker
remind us all how
fragile life is.
We do what we can
to learn about them.
It's a form of control.
Or like self-absorption.
Can I ask you a question?
You want to know
what I saw in him, don't you?
It's what everyone
wants to know.
And the truth is.
The truth is
You should be honored.
Ever since it happened,
not one day has gone by.
Where? I haven't asked myself.
Could I have known?
Did I miss something?
And the answer is
always the same.
No.
Henry was very
good at normalising
his madness.
It was his gift.
Thank you.
Hearts collide.
Soft whispers.
The world outside.
The stars don't care.
They just shine bright.
Kathryn
Julia.
You alright?
I never thought I'd be back.
What was that?
What was what?
That.
It's an old house.
Everything makes a noise.
Wow. That is an
original Santori.
Must be worth half
a million pounds.
Half a million for that thing.
I'm in the wrong job.
You bloody idiot!
I couldn't resist.
You'll have to forgive Neil.
He's got a strange
sense of humour.
Neal Cullen,
psychic, spiritualist.
And hey, let's
face it all around.
Genius.
How did you get in?
Oh, you know me.
Ever resourceful.
I thought I'd come down
early, run a few basic checks.
Very glad I did.
This place is pulsing
with supernatural energy.
This item is the
first thing that drew
my attention.
Hundreds of years ago,
grieving widows,
reducing incantation
to bind their husband's souls
to an object of special meaning.
They believed it
would bring them luck,
protection, and good fortune.
It belonged to
Decker's grandmother.
He was always keen for me to
wear it on special occasions.
It's beautiful.
Yes, it really is.
You'll have to wear it.
No. Absolutely not.
I'll wear it.
It'll only be for a few hours
while we're filming.
Trust me.
It will play great.
Every item in this house,
including the house
itself, has a story to tell.
I can hear them.
The voices calling out to me
from beyond the veil.
But one voice dominates
above them all.
Is that what I think it is?
Indeed, it is the
centerpiece of Henry
Decker's entire collection.
My friend.
Would you care to do the honors?
Why, in the
circumstances I err -
Well, I think it
should be Julia.
Oh, no. Really?
Oh, come on.
I dare you.
What is it?
Something quite extraordinary.
That's not
creepy as fuck at all.
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is the harbinger.
A fortune telling machine
like you'd see it.
A fair or in an arcade
at the end of the pier,
you know, pay your money
and a card reveals your fate.
But this one is special.
You see, they were banned in
1961 after a series
of mysterious accidents.
And most were destroyed. But.
But Henry Decker,
though he spent years
and a small fortune
on tracking this one down,
and it was quite
a find talking about.
Look at it. It's horrible.
I didn't want it in the house
in the first place.
Another piece of old junk
cluttering up the place.
He spent many hours in here
alone.
After the police shot him.
Henry Decker crawled
in here, died
right on that spot.
The last thing he did
was to reach out and touch it.
You see that there?
That's Henry Decker's blood.
Why would he do that?
Who knows?
Maybe he was trying
to steady himself.
Maybe it was one
final death throw.
Who knows?
Regardless,
it was the final act of the
man known as Satan's slayer.
This is a mistake.
Hey, hey. What are you doing?
I need to talk to you.
I'm pregnant.
We only hooked up a few times.
Seventeen. But who's counting.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Fuck!
Well, what we gonna do?
We aren't going to do anything,
but I'll take care of it.
Take care of it.
What does that mean?
What do you think it means?
No. You can't do that.
I can do whatever
the fuck I want.
And don't you forget it.
Besides, it's not
like you'll ever leave
Little Miss Goody two
shoes, now, is it?
Is it plugged in?
Welcome stranger.
I hear your call.
I am the harbinger.
Get everyone back now.
Who knows all.
Julia.
I shouldn't have come.
It's fine.
Take all the time you need.
I can't be here. It's too much.
I'm sorry.
I just want to go home.
I'll get you an
Uber. Whoa, wait.
Let's not do anything hasty.
There's a lot riding on this.
Like what exactly?
Our careers, for a start.
Come on, Mike. Look at her.
You can't force
her to do the show.
I don't want to no Umm.
What does that mean?
It means I
signed a contract,
and I spent a chunk of the fee
making sure my mum's cared
for while I'm here,
I'm not getting any bars.
You said it was
her favorite show.
So do it for her.
What about you?
What are you getting
any signal? Hey.
No, nothing.
Look, I'm on your side.
Really I am.
And we won't do
anything that you're
not completely comfortable with.
We're all here for you.
Thanks.
Guys, Neal wants everyone
back in the library.
Please.
Julia.
Let's give this a go, shall we?
Welcome, stranger.
I hear your call.
I am the harbinger
who knows all.
Beg my favor
with neither here nor hate.
Then take your card.
It seals your fate.
So who'd
like to go first?
Sure.
Why not?
No. I
think I'll keep
this one to myself.
So who's next?
Duke of perdition.
Devourer of souls. No!
Devourer of souls.
A duke of perdition.
Yes. You're doing it again.
Doing what again?
Overthinking.
Kathryn, this is for the intro.
I have to set the right tone.
So, what did yours say?
Well,
I thought it'd
be a load of nonsense,
but mine was actually
very enlightening.
Right.
You're all done.
You're welcome.
Dick.
Barney.
Are we ready to go?
Yeah. Let's hurry up.
It's freezing.
Yep. We're rolling.
Three. Two. One.
Hello, and welcome
to a new series
of Specter Investigates.
Tonight, we bring you
one of the darkest chapters
in modern crime history.
Henry Decker claimed the lives
of six young women
and two brave police officers
during his reign of terror.
Barney.
That shocked the world.
What's wrong?
Was it the claim close to
claiming too much illiteracy?
Right.
Bloody well knew it.
That's weird.
Yeah. I saw someone up there.
They were wearing a mask.
Yeah, well, that'll.
That'll be Neal messing around.
He would go ballistic
if anyone spoiled
One of his takes. Oh. But me.
No, I'm fair game.
Apparently.
Barney,
let's reset and go again.
Sorry, boss.
Rolling.
Three. Two. One.
Take it away.
Hello, and welcome
to a new series of Specter
Investigates.
How are we doing?
Nearly ready?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much.
Where's the necklace?
What do you think?
Oh, it's Amazing.
Now, this will just be a
straightforward interview.
We'll start by asking what
happened when you first
became suspicious
and called the police. And.
You'll be fine.
Are we good to go Barney?
Let's go.
For 18 months,
Julia Piven was in
what she believed to be
a loving relationship
with Henry Decker,
only to discover
that he was living
a double life.
Julia, thank you so
much for joining us.
I can't imagine how hard
it must be to be back
here in the Decker family home.
It isn't easy.
I'd like to start
by asking you what first made
you suspect that Decker wasn't
the person he claimed to be.
Henry was very clever.
He was charismatic,
charming and funny.
I know how that sounds crazy,
but it's the truth.
The fact is, he never gave me
any reason to doubt
or mistrust him
until that night.
It was like he decided
it was time for me to know
the real him.
You should be honored.
I found a box of photographs,
pictures of other victims.
Yes.
And why would he leave them out
for you to find?
I think he just probably
got bored of pretending to
love me.
And these
photographs were, I suspect.
Graphic.
Henry didn't just
kill these women.
He butchered them.
Try to do the same thing to me.
Julia,
this will be
difficult, I know, but.
Would you be willing to
show us your scar?
He should be asking her that.
Of course he should
the viewers will love it.
I need a break.
Thank you Julia.
You are an incredible woman.
So people keep telling me.
Truly.
And I think I speak on behalf
of all my viewers to say
that you are an inspiration.
I'm joined
now by our paranormal expert,
Chris Parker.
Chris.
Has your equipment detected
anything out of the ordinary?
I've been monitoring
the AMF meter,
and I've noticed
regular fluctuations
in the electromagnetic field,
which suggests the presence
of a soul trapped
between this world and the next.
Although the indication
is of two presence.
Of course.
It's the policemen.
I believe so.
Be warned.
What we're about to witness,
some viewers may
find disturbing.
Who knows, maybe
Henry Decker's soul
will finally find
its way back home.
Chris, I feel something in here
quickly.
Kathryn.
Who's there?
Kathryn.
You alright?
I thought you were downstairs.
Thrax alor vaskun drath'el.
Nekthar voh ul, sarenoth
ka-thir.
This is an EVP.
An electrical voice
phenomenon recorder.
It captures the sounds beyond
the range of human hearing.
We ask it a question, pause.
Then you
play it back and wait to hear
if anything is captured.
Like in the Enfield
haunting case.
Exactly.
But this is far more
sophisticated than the one Ed
and Lorraine Warren
would have used.
Are you ready?
We're ready.
Spirits.
If you're there,
please speak to us.
Are we in the presence
of Police Constable's
Kevin Buckley and Lawrence Dunn?
I think that should do.
Shall we play it back.
Please do.
Spirits
If you're there,
please speak to us.
Are we in the presence
of police constables
Kevin Buckley and Lawrence Dunn?
Oh my god. It's Kathryn.
Kathryn? The fuck you
mean it's Kathryn.
Look.
The Key. Where's
the fucking Key.
Give me. Give me
the fucking key.
Fuck is this? It's the key.
It's not unlocking
the fucking door.
Is it.
I think you should take
a moment and calm down,
Calm down. Kathryn is out there.
Yeah. I don't think there's
anything we can do for her.
Not now.
Get out of my fucking way.
Mike.
It's the right key.
It's the only key.
It has to work.
It has to bloody work.
Neal.
I'll crawl through
the fucking window.
Find something to smash it.
You can't.
Is burglar proof.
For fucks sake.
Barney.
Is there something
you want to tell me?
About what?
What about you and Kathryn?
Me and Kathryn?
No, of course not.
Of course not. Why
would you say that?
Well. Everything
you're doing and
saying right now, for a start.
But sweetheart
You've got it wrong.
Kathryn's our friend.
I love you
with all my heart.
You know that?
Yeah. I hope so.
You hope so.
You know so.
You mean everything to me.
Don't doubt that for one second.
Shit.
What is wrong with
this bloody thing?
It's still no signal.
I think the landlines
around here somewhere.
I am the
harbinger.
Okay, I'll say it.
What the fuck is going on?
It's him.
Who? Decker.
Decker? You're
talking about Henry
Decker, who was shot and killed.
That Decker. Yeah.
Can't you feel it?
The atmosphere is changed.
The air thickened.
We're in his house,
his stronghold.
Bound by dark magic.
Trapped like rats in a cage.
He's right, I heard him.
What did you hear?
I tried calling
emergency services,
but instead it was
Decker pretending to be that.
Bullshit.
I heard him, too.
So did April.
No she didn't. I did.
I don't pretend to
understand it, but I heard it.
You're fucking deluded.
This is someone's
idea of a joke.
Kathryn's dead.
So is Decker.
The doors are locked,
the windows won't open,
the glass won't break.
It's a classic entrapment spell.
Entrapment spell. Fuck me.
Thanks for that boy wizard.
He has us exactly
where he wants us.
So what do we do?
Well, you're meant
to be the expert.
Him? Oh, please.
He's floppy hair in a suit.
Thanks. Oh, come on, Mike.
You wouldn't have
a show without me.
Your window dressing at best.
Okay, now is not the time for
a dick measuring competition.
We should make contact
a seance.
Why not?
We may be able to establish
what Decker wants
or reach out to Kathryn
Find out what happened.
It has to be worth a try.
This is fucking insane.
Are you even
listening to yourself?
If you have any better
ideas, then please.
We'd love to hear it.
All right,
we'll do it on one condition.
We film the whole thing.
Why would we do that?
Because for the first time
in the history of the show,
we are in the
middle of something.
And I don't intend to
miss a single frame.
For once Michael.
You and I are in complete
agreement.
Let's set up.
How you feeling?
Not okay,
I don't think.
Okay.
Is on the menu tonight.
What's that?
It's a book of ancient rituals.
This one actually refers
to the type of soul transfer.
That Neil was talking about.
Nethraz gul'vak soranoth.
Vaskai ul'therak drathis.
But you have to
repeat it three times
for in order to work.
And that one? That's something
much more aggressive.
A conjugation that
transfers a soul
- to another living being.
- A possession?
Umm - Yeah.
I mean, it's
more of a becoming a complete,
irreversible takeover.
But for it to work,
there has to be six offerings.
Is that a nice way
of saying sacrifices?
I was meant to be
Henry's seventh victim.
Do you think he killed
all those other women
because he wanted to become me.
I wouldn't presume to know
what that maniac was thinking.
But yeah, it's possible.
I remember him chanting
something before he was shot.
Thrax.
Alor vaskun.
Oh, I've got that text here.
alor vaskun
Nekthar voh ul, sarenoth ka-thir
What did you do that for?
Can't ever risk this
happening again.
We should torch the
whole goddamn library.
I'm not fan of book burning.
And I'm not a fan of becoming
a mad man skin suit.
You'll see a picture
of my daughter.
Her name is Izzy.
She's beautiful.
You're a lucky man, Chris.
Oh, Mike told me about the deal.
Looks like you'll be
doing this until you retire.
What deal?
with the streaming service.
Oh, Julia,
I hate to break it to you,
but there is no deal.
The show's been canceled.
This is Mike's last
throw at the dice.
If this pilot doesn't
get picked up, that's it.
RIP Specter investigates.
Unbelievable.
He's ready.
You lied to me.
Have you got anything
to say for yourself?
Okay, so I massaged the truth.
So what?
You got yourself a
nice little payday.
You're welcome.
By the way, that was the last
of my savings.
Everything I have is
tied up with this.
Yeah. A show that
will never happen.
I told you before,
we're slap bang
in the middle of something.
This show will
happen, I promise you.
Your friend is dead.
My colleague.
Look, it's very sad,
obviously, but she
would want us to continue.
You're just thinking
about the publicity.
Shame on you.
Now, wait a minute.
I need to fit these.
And you April.
Me?
We must complete the circle.
Please join hands.
We are gathered here tonight
in a search for the truth.
To bridge the gap
between the living
and the dead.
If we open a door,
we must be prepared
for what may come through.
If there are any
spirits present,
please make yourselves know.
I ask again
if there are spirits here.
Give us a sign.
Kathryn. Is that you?
Don't be afraid.
We're your friends.
You can trust us.
Speak through me
and tell us what happened.
Hey, Barney.
Tell us about Kathryn.
Oh, what a firecracker she is.
Out of ten.
I'd give her one.
Tough crowd.
April.
Dear.
Sweet.
April.
So innocent.
So trusting.
So dim.
What's he talking about?
Nothing.
He's a prick.
Newsflash.
Your husband has
been doing the dirty
with that slut for months.
Shut your
fucking mouth.
He wouldn't do that to me.
Oh, but he would.
And he did
many times,
in many different ways.
Don't touch him.
Not in this state.
He could be extremely dangerous.
Is that right.
Kathryn liked it hard and rough.
Yes. She was a real
wild cat in the sack.
Absolutely filthy.
I bet you thought
all your birthdays
had come at once.
You kept bagging her
brains out until one day
Ickle pickle Barney Junior
popped into existence.
I'm getting misty eyed
just thinking about it.
You bastard!
Was it something I said?
Hello pussy cat.
Have you missed me?
The fuck you want?
Six souls.
No more, no less.
I'm going to have so much fun
gobbling them all up.
Yum, yum.
Yum.
Sweetheart, please
Come on, open the door.
Leave me alone!
Please. I need to talk to you.
All I ever wanted was
a family with you.
You know that.
How could you.
Sweetheart.
Fucked up.
All right.
I can make it right.
I swear I can make it right.
Just fuck off.
April.
I don't want to hear it.
April?

This degree of
spectrum intrusion
Unlike anything I've
ever seen before.
Decker wasn't just
messing around
with black candles
and goats heads,
he's managed to find a way
to transfer him his soul,
his essence, into the harbinger.
The cards.
Kathryn collected hers first.
Who was next? April
then Barney.
Then Neal.
Then you Chris.
Me and Julia.
He wants souls.
That's what he said.
Six souls.
What if he's killing
us in that order?
You alright?
What happened?
I overreacted.
I'm sorry.
You know how I get sometimes.
No, you don't
need to apologise.
It's me.
I'm the asshole, and I.
Let's just be together.
Oh my God.
Kinky.
Do you love me?
Of course I do. I love
you so fucking much.
Yeah.
Nethraz
gul'vak soranoth
Vaskai. My eyes!
ul'therak drathis.
Barney!
April.
Barney. April.
Oh my God.
Jesus.
I'm next.
Fuck that.
Fuck that!
Neal.
Not tonight.
Not tonight.
Mike. This ain't me.
This ain't me. It's Decker.
Hold his arms!
It's Decker. Help me.
Help me!
No!
You losers
are making it so damn easy
Henry!
Please no!
Catch you later,
pussycat.
No!
See
you on the rerun.
Neal?
He drove me mad,
everyday for ten years.
But he was my friend.
He was right.
What he said.
Without him, there would
have been no show.
He had the vision.
Purpose.
Drive.
And like he said, I was
just window dressing.
Floppy hair in a nice suit.
Can I just have a few moments
alone with him?
To say goodbye.
Just be careful.
Never seen him like that before.
Maybe he does have
a heart after all.
And all it took was one night.
Demonic madness.
Please tell me you have
an idea to get us out of here.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Well, I hope you're
satisfied, you
egotistical bastard.
Well, this is all your fault.
We had a good thing going.
People liked the show.
Oh, but that wasn't
enough, was it? No.
You had to go in.
All guns are blazing
with your fucking demands.
I mean, what a
brilliant strategy.
Because the next thing
we know, we're cancelled.
Yeah, well, your psychic powers
didn't see that one
coming, did they?
Well, I'm going to
be joining you soon.
So won't that be nice?
But not yet.
Decker bound himself
to the harbinger, but he's
kept us here for a reason.
What if his powers
only extend so far?
But how does that help?
Perhaps the machine
isn't a conduit or a vessel.
What if it's just the keystone?
If we destroy the
machine, we sever,
the link and Decker
will be set adrift.
So he'll. What?
Just disappear?
Without the harbinger
He has no form, no anchor.
He'll be left in limbo.
I like that idea.
I'd like it even more
if we could trap him in there.
Do you still have that page?
Oh, yeah.
Good.
We're going to need to
be word perfect Right
all we need to do
now is find something
to burn the harbinger with.
Daddy.
Izzy?
Now? What did he say?
Alcohol.
Something that burns.
Bingo.
Why did you
leave me, daddy?
Honey, I be home soon, darling.
It's not fair.
Mommy's sad.
I don't like it
when mommy is sad.
I don't like it when
mommy sad either.
You made her sad.
You made me sad too.
I didn't mean to.
Is this job?
I hate your
job, I hate it.
Right now I feel the same way.
I hate you.
Don't say that.
You don't want me to hate you.
Give me a hug.
I want a hug right now.
If you don't give me a hug.
You're not my daddy.
I'll get a new daddy.
No.
Do it! Do it now!
You're not my daughter.
Daddy.
Stay away from me!
Peekaboo!
Its the good stuff. 100% proof.
Where's Chris?
Is he not back yet?
Shit.
You shouldn't go out
there by yourself.
So come with me.
Well, just give him
a few more minutes to be sure.
Fine. Stay here.
But you're next.
Remember?
Chris.
Chris.
This is a bad idea.
Coming to this bloody
house was a bad idea.
But here we are.
Chris, where are you?
Chris, no!
Fuck off!
Fuck! Fuck!
I need you to keep
your shit together.
They're all dead.
Every last one of them. Dead.
Yes. And if
we don't do something
soon, we're going
to be dead too.
Is that what you want?
No.
No, I didn't think so.
That should do it.
Welcome stranger.
- Welcome stranger.
- What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Saying goodbye.
- Saying goodbye.
- I hear your call
I am the Harbinger.
Who knows all.
Henry. Enough!
It's boring now.
It's boring now.
It ends here.
Here. Let me do it.
Come on.
No. Mike.
My precious Julia.
Gorgeous as ever.
Have you found something
different with your hair?
Let him go.
Too late.
He's mine now.
I have my souls.
My six delicious souls.
Oh, pussycat.
I can't wait to be inside you.
Thrax alor vaskun

Hello?
Help me. Please let me in.
Kathryn?
Help me.
Please let me in.
I can't it's stuck.
Please. Please help.
Please let me in.
I'm trying.
Oh dear.
How unfortunate.
What's new pussycat.
Where are you?
You sick bastard!
Oh, that's
a trifle harsh.
Just fucking show yourself.
As you wish.
Boo.
Well, here we are.
We've come full circle Julia.
And what a perfect spot.
Quiet.
Intimate.
No nasty men with guns.
How's your tummy?
I loved you.
I know,
but don't be too
hard on yourself.
You're a wonderful,
trusting human being.
That's what
made it so much fun.
Fun?
You butchered six women
and all that time.
I was making you
coffee in the morning.
Snuggling up to you at
night. A shoulder to cry on.
I'm such a fucking idiot.
You're
not the first woman
to fall in love with a fantasy.
And you certainly
won't be the last.
Oh gullible girls.
They are so endearing.
Why me?
Because you. Are you.
What the fuck does that mean?
Henry.
Henry.
I have plans Julia.
Such plans.
A whole new circle
of hell, the likes of
which Dante himself
could not have imagined.
Highways of fire.
Towers of bone.
I will raise an infernal palace
within a labyrinth of woe.
Music. Aw the music.
A symphony of screams.
Conducted by my own fair hand.
And I couldn't do it as Henry.
I certainly can't
do it like this.
But you.
Yes, you I can work with.
Ah. Nana's necklace.
How charming.
Nethraz
gul'vak soranoth.
Ten out
of ten for effort.
And a big fat zero
for execution.
No!
You won't be
needing this either.
Now pussycat.
Allow me to show
you how it's done.

I'm in the wrong job.
Well.
That's it.
Everything's cleared out.
Where's that thing from
The cellar? I threw
it in the skip.
Oh, we should have it.
Might be worth something.
No way.
Oh. Come on.
I'll make a bit of space
for it in the van.
Oh my god.
999 Emergency.
Which service do you require?
Police, I need police. Now.
Okay, madam, I need
you to stay calm.
Give me your name
and tell me where you are.
My name. Darling.

What seems to be

Sierra alpha nine to control.
Peekaboo pussy cat.
Hello my darling.
Shall we have one last dance.
Fuck you. Get off!
You should be honored.
You're my number seven.
Go to hell!
That is the idea.

You know you want it in you.
You always did.
I'm gonna count to ten.

Like I
said, I can't fault your CV.
If anything,
you're overqualified, and
you clearly know your fashion.
But we're heading
into wedding season,
which can be long hours.
Lots of fittings and
all the rest of it.
Oh, please, just
give me a chance.
I won't let you down.
I won't let you
down.
Oh. I'm sorry.
If you'll excuse
me for a moment.
I've been waiting for
an update on my little girl.
She's been ever so poorly.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
What's your daughter's name?
Gertie.
But it's not my daughter.
She's my little pussycat.
Oh, my little pussycat.
How sweet.
You've given me a mouse.
Mousey. Mousey.
Mousey mouse.
Julia?
I'm sorry. I got to go.
Stay the hell away from me.
I didn't mean to alarm you.
My name is Mike Craggs
from the Ghost Show. Yes.
Yes.
Do you mind just lowering that?
I'm sorry.
Why are you following me?
Well, I can assure you, it's
not my usual behavior, but I.
My assistant tried calling
you several times,
yet you didn't get the hint.
Oh, I'm a very
persistent fellow.
I know what this is about.
I'm not interested.
Look, I'm sure I'm not the
first to make you an offer.
And believe me, I don't want
to open up old wounds. But.
There are no buts.
I've heard it all before.
I'll give you 50,000
pounds for one day's work.
Well, it's not about the money.
Oh, everything's
about the money.
I've just signed
with the streamer
for an eye watering amount.
They've commissioned
ten new episodes.
And I want to start
with your story.
You and Henry Decker,
the definitive account.
And I can arrange for ten%
to be paid into your bank.
First thing in the morning.
I have to go.
Miss Piven.
My card.
Think about it.
She's had her dinner.
Thanks so much. Thanks.
How was it?
How's what?
You had an interview?
Oh, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.
What is it?
I've been asked to mind you
about the invoice.
It's overdue.
So sorry.
I'll have it soon.
A few days, you have my word.
Have you ever thought
about writing a book about it?
You know about what happened?
No. Good night. Rebecca.
Oh, darling.
Thank you.
You're the best daughter
in the whole world.
You know that, don't you?
Well, I should do by now.
You tell me every day.
That's because it's true.
I'm so proud of you.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I can read you like a book.
You that show you
always watching?
The one about ghosts?
Oh, yeah.
Specter investigates.
It's so good.
And it's not just about ghosts.
No, it's about satanic cults
and demonic possessions.
Mike Craggs, he's the best.
He's an oily creep,
if you ask me.
How do you know what he's like?
Because I just met him.
He was waiting for me outside.
What? He wants me
to do the show.
You didn't invite
him in for a cup of tea
so I could meet him?
Mom. Be serious.
For years, people
have wanted me to talk
about what happened.
But I don't know, to go on TV
and get paid.
Just feels wrong.
Disrespectful
to all those other poor women.
Sharing their stories
isn't disrespectful.
It's a way of remembering them.
Oh, I remember the
first day I met Henry.
He just that horrible
box delivered.
What was it called?
The hell bringer?
The harbinger.
I'll never forget him
standing beside it,
looking pleased as punch.
That's the image I can't forget.
Not his victims. Him?
His face. His name.
You could change that.
You know.
Darling, I just want
you to be you again.
Get that sparkle
back in your eyes.
If there's a chance
that you can get some closure,
even a little bit,
it's worth a try, isn't it?
Oh, I don't know, mum.
Don't you let the past control
you, darling?
It doesn't own you.
I was lucky.
Darling, I do love you.
I love you too, mum.
Let's get an early night. Mum.
It looks like a storm coming.
Good evening,
and welcome to specter.
Investigates.
My name is Henry Decker,
and I'm delighted to be joined
this evening
by my beloved Julia.
Isn't she beautiful
and so brave?
Tell me, Julia,
just how brave are you?
What's that?
You'll have to speak up my dear.
Awww! You evil bastard!
Oh, please.
This is a family show.
Almost felt the concept of evil
as endlessly fascinating.
Nietzsche once said,
do not battle with monsters,
lest you become
a monster.
Of course, everything
sounds better
in German.
Monsters.
Demons.
Evil itself.
Is all so
inevitable.
Necessary and oh so wonderful.
Thrax alor vaskun drath'el.
Nekthar voh ul,
sarenoth ka-thir.
You want to be careful of that?
I know you got a spine
like a wet noodle.
Why don't you give him a hand
instead of standing around
making smarmy comments?
Hey, everyone's got
their part to play.
Standing around making smarmy
comments is what I do best.
Thank you.
Here
Let me help. No.
Thank you. I'm okay.
Careful. He gets very cross
if you touch his stuff,
don't you, Chris?
Has anyone heard
from the others?
Mike's going to pick
up this Julia bird.
As for Neal. Fuck knows.
Has anyone actually
met her before?
No, but I've read about her.
Seriously, how can
you live with a devil
worshiping serial killer
and not have a clue
what he's up to?
Come on, that's not fair.
Don't be so naive.
She was obviously in on it.
She must have been.
He tried to kill her.
She has a point.
Yeah, of course she does.
Kathryn always has a point.
Actually, he was a demon
worshiping serial killer.
What are you talking about?
She said devil worshiping
serial killer. It's incorrect.
Look who gives a fuck.
He murdered six women.
Are you seriously telling me
she was oblivious
to the whole thing?
It's not likely, is it?
Some people can be very devious.
Oh, I would have seen
right through him.
You'd have scared him away.
Greetings, team.
I take it for all.
Set. Excellent.
Yes, boss.
All packed and ready
to cock and roll.
You must be Julia.
Indeed.
The star of our show.
Well, let me introduce everyone.
This reprobate is Barney,
our cameraman and his
better half.
April, our sound tech.
This is Chris, an expert
in all things supernatural.
And last, but most definitely
not least, Kathryn,
who makes me look vaguely
presentable on camera.
It's why I get
paid the big bucks.
Well, it's lovely
to meet you all.
And you, you really
are so very brave.
Where's Neal?
Oh, I don't know.
He's probably one of his
ghost hunts again.
playing with his crystal balls.
Who's Neal?
Oh, big fan of the
show, then are you.
I've seen it a few times.
My mum likes it.
Well, Neal is
our resident psychic.
Resident psychic slash diva.
Slash pain in my ass.
Well, let's just say
he can be a little -
Unhinged?
Unorthodox.
Anyway, before we go, I.
Yes, I'd like to
say a few words.
This is the start of a new era.
Yes. We are about to make
television history
with a new episode of Specter
Investigates.
So let's get busy.
Yes.
You mob can go in that car
and I'll take Julia in my car.
This way Julia.
There's something
in your hair.
Dandruff. Let me get it out.
Oh, hello, what are we got here?
Ahh Is that your girlfriend?
That is this,
daughter you idiot.
Oh. So you have had sex
Once, then. Well done mate.
Round of applause
for Chris, everyone.
Don't be so horrible.
Well, I'm obviously
joking, aren't I?
He loves a bit of
banter, don't you, mate?
See? You see it in his eyes.
All four of them.
Just drive.
We'll be filming on
location, but it will
be out of sequence.
We'll grab a few exterior shots
and then shoot day for night.
Inside, it'll be
more atmospheric.
Who owns the house now?
Do you know what?
I can't remember
the fella's name.
He was a collector,
obsessed with the occult.
Henry Decker in particular.
But now the old boy is passed
away and the house.
Was back on the
market that I managed
to wrangle a day to shoot there.
Well, before it
gets cleared out.
I'll never understand why
people are so fascinated
by these monsters.
I guess it's people like Decker
remind us all how
fragile life is.
We do what we can
to learn about them.
It's a form of control.
Or like self-absorption.
Can I ask you a question?
You want to know
what I saw in him, don't you?
It's what everyone
wants to know.
And the truth is.
The truth is
You should be honored.
Ever since it happened,
not one day has gone by.
Where? I haven't asked myself.
Could I have known?
Did I miss something?
And the answer is
always the same.
No.
Henry was very
good at normalising
his madness.
It was his gift.
Thank you.
Hearts collide.
Soft whispers.
The world outside.
The stars don't care.
They just shine bright.
Kathryn
Julia.
You alright?
I never thought I'd be back.
What was that?
What was what?
That.
It's an old house.
Everything makes a noise.
Wow. That is an
original Santori.
Must be worth half
a million pounds.
Half a million for that thing.
I'm in the wrong job.
You bloody idiot!
I couldn't resist.
You'll have to forgive Neil.
He's got a strange
sense of humour.
Neal Cullen,
psychic, spiritualist.
And hey, let's
face it all around.
Genius.
How did you get in?
Oh, you know me.
Ever resourceful.
I thought I'd come down
early, run a few basic checks.
Very glad I did.
This place is pulsing
with supernatural energy.
This item is the
first thing that drew
my attention.
Hundreds of years ago,
grieving widows,
reducing incantation
to bind their husband's souls
to an object of special meaning.
They believed it
would bring them luck,
protection, and good fortune.
It belonged to
Decker's grandmother.
He was always keen for me to
wear it on special occasions.
It's beautiful.
Yes, it really is.
You'll have to wear it.
No. Absolutely not.
I'll wear it.
It'll only be for a few hours
while we're filming.
Trust me.
It will play great.
Every item in this house,
including the house
itself, has a story to tell.
I can hear them.
The voices calling out to me
from beyond the veil.
But one voice dominates
above them all.
Is that what I think it is?
Indeed, it is the
centerpiece of Henry
Decker's entire collection.
My friend.
Would you care to do the honors?
Why, in the
circumstances I err -
Well, I think it
should be Julia.
Oh, no. Really?
Oh, come on.
I dare you.
What is it?
Something quite extraordinary.
That's not
creepy as fuck at all.
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is the harbinger.
A fortune telling machine
like you'd see it.
A fair or in an arcade
at the end of the pier,
you know, pay your money
and a card reveals your fate.
But this one is special.
You see, they were banned in
1961 after a series
of mysterious accidents.
And most were destroyed. But.
But Henry Decker,
though he spent years
and a small fortune
on tracking this one down,
and it was quite
a find talking about.
Look at it. It's horrible.
I didn't want it in the house
in the first place.
Another piece of old junk
cluttering up the place.
He spent many hours in here
alone.
After the police shot him.
Henry Decker crawled
in here, died
right on that spot.
The last thing he did
was to reach out and touch it.
You see that there?
That's Henry Decker's blood.
Why would he do that?
Who knows?
Maybe he was trying
to steady himself.
Maybe it was one
final death throw.
Who knows?
Regardless,
it was the final act of the
man known as Satan's slayer.
This is a mistake.
Hey, hey. What are you doing?
I need to talk to you.
I'm pregnant.
We only hooked up a few times.
Seventeen. But who's counting.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Fuck!
Well, what we gonna do?
We aren't going to do anything,
but I'll take care of it.
Take care of it.
What does that mean?
What do you think it means?
No. You can't do that.
I can do whatever
the fuck I want.
And don't you forget it.
Besides, it's not
like you'll ever leave
Little Miss Goody two
shoes, now, is it?
Is it plugged in?
Welcome stranger.
I hear your call.
I am the harbinger.
Get everyone back now.
Who knows all.
Julia.
I shouldn't have come.
It's fine.
Take all the time you need.
I can't be here. It's too much.
I'm sorry.
I just want to go home.
I'll get you an
Uber. Whoa, wait.
Let's not do anything hasty.
There's a lot riding on this.
Like what exactly?
Our careers, for a start.
Come on, Mike. Look at her.
You can't force
her to do the show.
I don't want to no Umm.
What does that mean?
It means I
signed a contract,
and I spent a chunk of the fee
making sure my mum's cared
for while I'm here,
I'm not getting any bars.
You said it was
her favorite show.
So do it for her.
What about you?
What are you getting
any signal? Hey.
No, nothing.
Look, I'm on your side.
Really I am.
And we won't do
anything that you're
not completely comfortable with.
We're all here for you.
Thanks.
Guys, Neal wants everyone
back in the library.
Please.
Julia.
Let's give this a go, shall we?
Welcome, stranger.
I hear your call.
I am the harbinger
who knows all.
Beg my favor
with neither here nor hate.
Then take your card.
It seals your fate.
So who'd
like to go first?
Sure.
Why not?
No. I
think I'll keep
this one to myself.
So who's next?
Duke of perdition.
Devourer of souls. No!
Devourer of souls.
A duke of perdition.
Yes. You're doing it again.
Doing what again?
Overthinking.
Kathryn, this is for the intro.
I have to set the right tone.
So, what did yours say?
Well,
I thought it'd
be a load of nonsense,
but mine was actually
very enlightening.
Right.
You're all done.
You're welcome.
Dick.
Barney.
Are we ready to go?
Yeah. Let's hurry up.
It's freezing.
Yep. We're rolling.
Three. Two. One.
Hello, and welcome
to a new series
of Specter Investigates.
Tonight, we bring you
one of the darkest chapters
in modern crime history.
Henry Decker claimed the lives
of six young women
and two brave police officers
during his reign of terror.
Barney.
That shocked the world.
What's wrong?
Was it the claim close to
claiming too much illiteracy?
Right.
Bloody well knew it.
That's weird.
Yeah. I saw someone up there.
They were wearing a mask.
Yeah, well, that'll.
That'll be Neal messing around.
He would go ballistic
if anyone spoiled
One of his takes. Oh. But me.
No, I'm fair game.
Apparently.
Barney,
let's reset and go again.
Sorry, boss.
Rolling.
Three. Two. One.
Take it away.
Hello, and welcome
to a new series of Specter
Investigates.
How are we doing?
Nearly ready?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much.
Where's the necklace?
What do you think?
Oh, it's Amazing.
Now, this will just be a
straightforward interview.
We'll start by asking what
happened when you first
became suspicious
and called the police. And.
You'll be fine.
Are we good to go Barney?
Let's go.
For 18 months,
Julia Piven was in
what she believed to be
a loving relationship
with Henry Decker,
only to discover
that he was living
a double life.
Julia, thank you so
much for joining us.
I can't imagine how hard
it must be to be back
here in the Decker family home.
It isn't easy.
I'd like to start
by asking you what first made
you suspect that Decker wasn't
the person he claimed to be.
Henry was very clever.
He was charismatic,
charming and funny.
I know how that sounds crazy,
but it's the truth.
The fact is, he never gave me
any reason to doubt
or mistrust him
until that night.
It was like he decided
it was time for me to know
the real him.
You should be honored.
I found a box of photographs,
pictures of other victims.
Yes.
And why would he leave them out
for you to find?
I think he just probably
got bored of pretending to
love me.
And these
photographs were, I suspect.
Graphic.
Henry didn't just
kill these women.
He butchered them.
Try to do the same thing to me.
Julia,
this will be
difficult, I know, but.
Would you be willing to
show us your scar?
He should be asking her that.
Of course he should
the viewers will love it.
I need a break.
Thank you Julia.
You are an incredible woman.
So people keep telling me.
Truly.
And I think I speak on behalf
of all my viewers to say
that you are an inspiration.
I'm joined
now by our paranormal expert,
Chris Parker.
Chris.
Has your equipment detected
anything out of the ordinary?
I've been monitoring
the AMF meter,
and I've noticed
regular fluctuations
in the electromagnetic field,
which suggests the presence
of a soul trapped
between this world and the next.
Although the indication
is of two presence.
Of course.
It's the policemen.
I believe so.
Be warned.
What we're about to witness,
some viewers may
find disturbing.
Who knows, maybe
Henry Decker's soul
will finally find
its way back home.
Chris, I feel something in here
quickly.
Kathryn.
Who's there?
Kathryn.
You alright?
I thought you were downstairs.
Thrax alor vaskun drath'el.
Nekthar voh ul, sarenoth
ka-thir.
This is an EVP.
An electrical voice
phenomenon recorder.
It captures the sounds beyond
the range of human hearing.
We ask it a question, pause.
Then you
play it back and wait to hear
if anything is captured.
Like in the Enfield
haunting case.
Exactly.
But this is far more
sophisticated than the one Ed
and Lorraine Warren
would have used.
Are you ready?
We're ready.
Spirits.
If you're there,
please speak to us.
Are we in the presence
of Police Constable's
Kevin Buckley and Lawrence Dunn?
I think that should do.
Shall we play it back.
Please do.
Spirits
If you're there,
please speak to us.
Are we in the presence
of police constables
Kevin Buckley and Lawrence Dunn?
Oh my god. It's Kathryn.
Kathryn? The fuck you
mean it's Kathryn.
Look.
The Key. Where's
the fucking Key.
Give me. Give me
the fucking key.
Fuck is this? It's the key.
It's not unlocking
the fucking door.
Is it.
I think you should take
a moment and calm down,
Calm down. Kathryn is out there.
Yeah. I don't think there's
anything we can do for her.
Not now.
Get out of my fucking way.
Mike.
It's the right key.
It's the only key.
It has to work.
It has to bloody work.
Neal.
I'll crawl through
the fucking window.
Find something to smash it.
You can't.
Is burglar proof.
For fucks sake.
Barney.
Is there something
you want to tell me?
About what?
What about you and Kathryn?
Me and Kathryn?
No, of course not.
Of course not. Why
would you say that?
Well. Everything
you're doing and
saying right now, for a start.
But sweetheart
You've got it wrong.
Kathryn's our friend.
I love you
with all my heart.
You know that?
Yeah. I hope so.
You hope so.
You know so.
You mean everything to me.
Don't doubt that for one second.
Shit.
What is wrong with
this bloody thing?
It's still no signal.
I think the landlines
around here somewhere.
I am the
harbinger.
Okay, I'll say it.
What the fuck is going on?
It's him.
Who? Decker.
Decker? You're
talking about Henry
Decker, who was shot and killed.
That Decker. Yeah.
Can't you feel it?
The atmosphere is changed.
The air thickened.
We're in his house,
his stronghold.
Bound by dark magic.
Trapped like rats in a cage.
He's right, I heard him.
What did you hear?
I tried calling
emergency services,
but instead it was
Decker pretending to be that.
Bullshit.
I heard him, too.
So did April.
No she didn't. I did.
I don't pretend to
understand it, but I heard it.
You're fucking deluded.
This is someone's
idea of a joke.
Kathryn's dead.
So is Decker.
The doors are locked,
the windows won't open,
the glass won't break.
It's a classic entrapment spell.
Entrapment spell. Fuck me.
Thanks for that boy wizard.
He has us exactly
where he wants us.
So what do we do?
Well, you're meant
to be the expert.
Him? Oh, please.
He's floppy hair in a suit.
Thanks. Oh, come on, Mike.
You wouldn't have
a show without me.
Your window dressing at best.
Okay, now is not the time for
a dick measuring competition.
We should make contact
a seance.
Why not?
We may be able to establish
what Decker wants
or reach out to Kathryn
Find out what happened.
It has to be worth a try.
This is fucking insane.
Are you even
listening to yourself?
If you have any better
ideas, then please.
We'd love to hear it.
All right,
we'll do it on one condition.
We film the whole thing.
Why would we do that?
Because for the first time
in the history of the show,
we are in the
middle of something.
And I don't intend to
miss a single frame.
For once Michael.
You and I are in complete
agreement.
Let's set up.
How you feeling?
Not okay,
I don't think.
Okay.
Is on the menu tonight.
What's that?
It's a book of ancient rituals.
This one actually refers
to the type of soul transfer.
That Neil was talking about.
Nethraz gul'vak soranoth.
Vaskai ul'therak drathis.
But you have to
repeat it three times
for in order to work.
And that one? That's something
much more aggressive.
A conjugation that
transfers a soul
- to another living being.
- A possession?
Umm - Yeah.
I mean, it's
more of a becoming a complete,
irreversible takeover.
But for it to work,
there has to be six offerings.
Is that a nice way
of saying sacrifices?
I was meant to be
Henry's seventh victim.
Do you think he killed
all those other women
because he wanted to become me.
I wouldn't presume to know
what that maniac was thinking.
But yeah, it's possible.
I remember him chanting
something before he was shot.
Thrax.
Alor vaskun.
Oh, I've got that text here.
alor vaskun
Nekthar voh ul, sarenoth ka-thir
What did you do that for?
Can't ever risk this
happening again.
We should torch the
whole goddamn library.
I'm not fan of book burning.
And I'm not a fan of becoming
a mad man skin suit.
You'll see a picture
of my daughter.
Her name is Izzy.
She's beautiful.
You're a lucky man, Chris.
Oh, Mike told me about the deal.
Looks like you'll be
doing this until you retire.
What deal?
with the streaming service.
Oh, Julia,
I hate to break it to you,
but there is no deal.
The show's been canceled.
This is Mike's last
throw at the dice.
If this pilot doesn't
get picked up, that's it.
RIP Specter investigates.
Unbelievable.
He's ready.
You lied to me.
Have you got anything
to say for yourself?
Okay, so I massaged the truth.
So what?
You got yourself a
nice little payday.
You're welcome.
By the way, that was the last
of my savings.
Everything I have is
tied up with this.
Yeah. A show that
will never happen.
I told you before,
we're slap bang
in the middle of something.
This show will
happen, I promise you.
Your friend is dead.
My colleague.
Look, it's very sad,
obviously, but she
would want us to continue.
You're just thinking
about the publicity.
Shame on you.
Now, wait a minute.
I need to fit these.
And you April.
Me?
We must complete the circle.
Please join hands.
We are gathered here tonight
in a search for the truth.
To bridge the gap
between the living
and the dead.
If we open a door,
we must be prepared
for what may come through.
If there are any
spirits present,
please make yourselves know.
I ask again
if there are spirits here.
Give us a sign.
Kathryn. Is that you?
Don't be afraid.
We're your friends.
You can trust us.
Speak through me
and tell us what happened.
Hey, Barney.
Tell us about Kathryn.
Oh, what a firecracker she is.
Out of ten.
I'd give her one.
Tough crowd.
April.
Dear.
Sweet.
April.
So innocent.
So trusting.
So dim.
What's he talking about?
Nothing.
He's a prick.
Newsflash.
Your husband has
been doing the dirty
with that slut for months.
Shut your
fucking mouth.
He wouldn't do that to me.
Oh, but he would.
And he did
many times,
in many different ways.
Don't touch him.
Not in this state.
He could be extremely dangerous.
Is that right.
Kathryn liked it hard and rough.
Yes. She was a real
wild cat in the sack.
Absolutely filthy.
I bet you thought
all your birthdays
had come at once.
You kept bagging her
brains out until one day
Ickle pickle Barney Junior
popped into existence.
I'm getting misty eyed
just thinking about it.
You bastard!
Was it something I said?
Hello pussy cat.
Have you missed me?
The fuck you want?
Six souls.
No more, no less.
I'm going to have so much fun
gobbling them all up.
Yum, yum.
Yum.
Sweetheart, please
Come on, open the door.
Leave me alone!
Please. I need to talk to you.
All I ever wanted was
a family with you.
You know that.
How could you.
Sweetheart.
Fucked up.
All right.
I can make it right.
I swear I can make it right.
Just fuck off.
April.
I don't want to hear it.
April?
Nethraz
gul'vak
April!
soranoth
Vaskai
ul'therak
April please.
drathis.
This degree of
spectrum intrusion
Unlike anything I've
ever seen before.
Decker wasn't just
messing around
with black candles
and goats heads,
he's managed to find a way
to transfer him his soul,
his essence, into the harbinger.
The cards.
Kathryn collected hers first.
Who was next? April
then Barney.
Then Neal.
Then you Chris.
Me and Julia.
He wants souls.
That's what he said.
Six souls.
What if he's killing
us in that order?
You alright?
What happened?
I overreacted.
I'm sorry.
You know how I get sometimes.
No, you don't
need to apologise.
It's me.
I'm the asshole, and I.
Let's just be together.
Oh my God.
Kinky.
Do you love me?
Of course I do. I love
you so fucking much.
Yeah.
Nethraz
gul'vak soranoth
Vaskai. My eyes!
ul'therak drathis.
Barney!
April.
Barney. April.
Oh my God.
Jesus.
I'm next.
Fuck that.
Fuck that!
Neal.
Not tonight.
Not tonight.
Mike. This ain't me.
This ain't me. It's Decker.
Hold his arms!
It's Decker. Help me.
Help me!
No!
You losers
are making it so damn easy
Henry!
Please no!
Catch you later,
pussycat.
No!
See
you on the rerun.
Neal?
He drove me mad,
everyday for ten years.
But he was my friend.
He was right.
What he said.
Without him, there would
have been no show.
He had the vision.
Purpose.
Drive.
And like he said, I was
just window dressing.
Floppy hair in a nice suit.
Can I just have a few moments
alone with him?
To say goodbye.
Just be careful.
Never seen him like that before.
Maybe he does have
a heart after all.
And all it took was one night.
Demonic madness.
Please tell me you have
an idea to get us out of here.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Well, I hope you're
satisfied, you
egotistical bastard.
Well, this is all your fault.
We had a good thing going.
People liked the show.
Oh, but that wasn't
enough, was it? No.
You had to go in.
All guns are blazing
with your fucking demands.
I mean, what a
brilliant strategy.
Because the next thing
we know, we're cancelled.
Yeah, well, your psychic powers
didn't see that one
coming, did they?
Well, I'm going to
be joining you soon.
So won't that be nice?
But not yet.
Decker bound himself
to the harbinger, but he's
kept us here for a reason.
What if his powers
only extend so far?
But how does that help?
Perhaps the machine
isn't a conduit or a vessel.
What if it's just the keystone?
If we destroy the
machine, we sever,
the link and Decker
will be set adrift.
So he'll. What?
Just disappear?
Without the harbinger
He has no form, no anchor.
He'll be left in limbo.
I like that idea.
I'd like it even more
if we could trap him in there.
Do you still have that page?
Oh, yeah.
Good.
We're going to need to
be word perfect Right
all we need to do
now is find something
to burn the harbinger with.
Daddy.
Izzy?
Now? What did he say?
Alcohol.
Something that burns.
Bingo.
Why did you
leave me, daddy?
Honey, I be home soon, darling.
It's not fair.
Mommy's sad.
I don't like it
when mommy is sad.
I don't like it when
mommy sad either.
You made her sad.
You made me sad too.
I didn't mean to.
Is this job?
I hate your
job, I hate it.
Right now I feel the same way.
I hate you.
Don't say that.
You don't want me to hate you.
Give me a hug.
I want a hug right now.
If you don't give me a hug.
You're not my daddy.
I'll get a new daddy.
No.
Do it! Do it now!
You're not my daughter.
Daddy.
Stay away from me!
Peekaboo!
Its the good stuff. 100% proof.
Where's Chris?
Is he not back yet?
Shit.
You shouldn't go out
there by yourself.
So come with me.
Well, just give him
a few more minutes to be sure.
Fine. Stay here.
But you're next.
Remember?
Chris.
Chris.
This is a bad idea.
Coming to this bloody
house was a bad idea.
But here we are.
Chris, where are you?
Chris, no!
Fuck off!
Fuck! Fuck!
I need you to keep
your shit together.
They're all dead.
Every last one of them. Dead.
Yes. And if
we don't do something
soon, we're going
to be dead too.
Is that what you want?
No.
No, I didn't think so.
That should do it.
Welcome stranger.
- Welcome stranger.
- What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Saying goodbye.
- Saying goodbye.
- I hear your call
I am the Harbinger.
Who knows all.
Henry. Enough!
It's boring now.
It's boring now.
It ends here.
Here. Let me do it.
Come on.
No. Mike.
My precious Julia.
Gorgeous as ever.
Have you found something
different with your hair?
Let him go.
Too late.
He's mine now.
I have my souls.
My six delicious souls.
Oh, pussycat.
I can't wait to be inside you.
Thrax alor vaskun
drath'el Nekthar
Julia.
Hello?
Help me. Please let me in.
Kathryn?
Help me.
Please let me in.
I can't it's stuck.
Please. Please help.
Please let me in.
I'm trying.
Oh dear.
How unfortunate.
What's new pussycat.
Where are you?
You sick bastard!
Oh, that's
a trifle harsh.
Just fucking show yourself.
As you wish.
Boo.
Well, here we are.
We've come full circle Julia.
And what a perfect spot.
Quiet.
Intimate.
No nasty men with guns.
How's your tummy?
I loved you.
I know,
but don't be too
hard on yourself.
You're a wonderful,
trusting human being.
That's what
made it so much fun.
Fun?
You butchered six women
and all that time.
I was making you
coffee in the morning.
Snuggling up to you at
night. A shoulder to cry on.
I'm such a fucking idiot.
You're
not the first woman
to fall in love with a fantasy.
And you certainly
won't be the last.
Oh gullible girls.
They are so endearing.
Why me?
Because you. Are you.
What the fuck does that mean?
Henry.
Henry.
I have plans Julia.
Such plans.
A whole new circle
of hell, the likes of
which Dante himself
could not have imagined.
Highways of fire.
Towers of bone.
I will raise an infernal palace
within a labyrinth of woe.
Music. Aw the music.
A symphony of screams.
Conducted by my own fair hand.
And I couldn't do it as Henry.
I certainly can't
do it like this.
But you.
Yes, you I can work with.
Ah. Nana's necklace.
How charming.
Nethraz
gul'vak soranoth.
Ten out
of ten for effort.
And a big fat zero
for execution.
No!
You won't be
needing this either.
Now pussycat.
Allow me to show
you how it's done.
Thrax alor
Yo. Fuck nuts.
vaskun drath'el
Don't call me, pussycat.
Nethraz gul'vak soranoth.
Vaskai ul'therak drathis.
Nethraz gul'vak soranoth.
Vaskai ul'therak drathis.
Nethraz gul'vak soranoth.
Vaskai ul'therak drathis.
That's an
original Santori.
Must be worth half
a million pounds
Half a
million for that thing.
I'm in the wrong job.
Well.
That's it.
Everything's cleared out.
Where's that thing from
The cellar? I threw
it in the skip.
Oh, we should have it.
Might be worth something.
No way.
Oh. Come on.
I'll make a bit of space
for it in the van.
