Bravo Six.
Bravo Six. Come in.
Hey Borelli.
Is this the right place?
Yes, I'm sure. We received
confirmation this morning.
Mr. Borelli, how did she
end up all the way here?
Your people found her three years ago,
Half burned, cut-up, insane.
And your people took
her back to the States.
What is she doing here?
I don't know, looking for answers maybe?
I really don't know.
She was kicked off the Force Since
she's been back in the States.
We have a lot of questions to ask her.
That's for sure.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Stop.
Stay here.
Sure. I'll be here if you need me.
- Partner.
- Hmm?
Stop!
Karen stop! Stop.
It's me Steve, they're with me.
They're the police.
It's OK.
I'm just gonna put my gun away.
Relax, maam. We just want to talk.
I'm Detective Liz Fajardo with
the PNP Special Cases Unit.
And that's my partner, Detective Bert Lim.
Karen, give me the gun, Karen.
No one here is gonna hurt you.
You know me.
Please hand over the gun.
What the hell are you doing here?
Karen, these officers...
they really need your help.
On what?
Those.
I have nothing to do with those.
We're not saying you do, ma'am.
We do know you had investigated a
similar case in Bohol three years ago
I already gave my statement to the police.
They have all the records.
Yes ma'am, we read them.
We just want to know from you, first hand.
Y-you think I was lying?
We're not saying you are, ma'am.
We just want to see if there's
anything else you remember,
that's not in the report.
We just want to ask you some
questions... based on your statements.
Don't! I didn't say you could sit.
What... what do you want to know.
Let's just start by saying, you walked
into that village three years ago.
Bloody, badly burned, and
mumbling like a crazy woman.
You kept on mentioning the word Yawa.
Do you know what that word means?
De-de-devil.
Did you see it?
It?
The Yawa.
N-no.
Why did you keep repeating
that word, when they found you?
I-I don't r-remember.
I just remember waking
up in a h-hospital bed...
Perhaps we should start
with what you remember.
I don't remember... any-anything after.
You came to the Philippines to
investigate a human trafficking report.
With an Interpol agent name Luciana Ramos.
Lucy... yes.
We worked together.
Karen, just take it from the top.
Whatever you remember.
Please, this is very
important that you try.
Special Agent Karen Wu?
And you are?
I'm Luciana Ramos, your
Interpol liaison officer.
You can call me Luciana or Lucy.
You can call me Karen.
You know this is my first solo assignment.
I wanna make sure everything
goes smoothly - Look,
I'm hungover, jet lagged and in a hurry.
So you wanna just get to it? Your
hands are on my files anyways.
Soft copies in the USB.
You were the first to
report a case, similar
to several cases that's been
happening the past couple of years.
Different places,
different people,
same pattern.
No witnesses.
CEOs, businessmen,
prominent society figures?
These aren't your usual
human trafficking cases.
Nope.
I have something that
possibly related to your case.
Oh really?
Real estate tycoon.
Sold everything he had, his company too.
He arrived in Manila with a
family a couple months ago.
Hotel records listed him as Lance Costello.
Lance Costello, he owns Costello
Properties, went bankrupt,
after he lost a fraud case
with the supreme court.
Big news at the time.
Well, he owns a luxury beach resort now.
Okay... how is he a person of interest?
By the time he opened his resort, people
say they haven't seen his family since.
Well, maybe he went home.
Immigration has no exit records.
How long ago was that?
Four, maybe five months
ago, it's all hearsay.
What about his daughter?
Her name is Ava, ten years old.
Children are missing.
Body parts were found.
Evidence of some kind of human sacrifice.
I went to Bohol on a case.
Yes, I read your report.
Human trafficking case.
What do you have here?
That's David Stiles.
He has a bunch of properties
in Manila and Indonesia.
Well, he's been seen quite
frequently here in Bohol.
He used to be married here with a son.
Word is, he sent his family
back to live in the UK.
Again, no exit records.
Looks like you got some stuff here.
Have you contacted our informant?
She lives in a small village in Panglao.
How do we get there?
I-It was,
It was not like anything I
expected or even imagined.
Agent Ramos.
FBI Special Agent Karen Wu.
Ma'am.
Let's go.
Welcome! Checking in?
I'll help you with your bags now.
Ma'am.
That was when things started
to feel strange to me.
You've picked the best time to
come, the weather is just perfect.
You're gonna love this island, ma'am.
You're not from around here, are you?
No ma'am.
American?
Enjoy your stay, ma'am.
I'll take this.
Strange, as in?
As in the case wasn't what I expected.
There was something else
that gave me the creeps.
Hey Lucy, I got check on
something, I'll be right back.
Are you OK?
Man, this place gives me the creeps.
There were some people out there.
Did you see anything?
There were some tourists
gathering on the beach.
Then there was this...
sinister-looking man with...
crazy beady eyes.
Dude almost ran into me.
No more alcohol Miss Wu, please.
You went there to meet someone -Yes.
Our contact, Aling Mercy...
Aling means "aunt" in Tagalog.
Yes, I'm very familiar with
the customs here, Karen.
S-she was g-guarded and cautious.
S-she knew a lot of things...
I-I t-thought s-she was j-just.
Su-superstitious?
They all are in these provincial villages.
I've been waiting for you.
Your English is good.
I'm an English teacher here,
among many other things.
People call me Aling Mercy, but
Mercy's fine. Come in please.
Thank you -You're welcome.
We're here to ask a couple questions about...
-You're here to stop the Devil.
Uh... Ma'am?
We're investigating alleged
human trafficking cases,
You might have some information about that?
Kidnappers, traffickers, monsters...
These are all works of
the Devil, are they not?
The Devil, eh?
Some American who passed
through h-here last month.
He spoke something of... called...
The Circle of Bones.
All we ever asked for
was your sworn secrecy...
and sacrifices.
Ma'am, you reported some foreign
nationals conglomerating in this area.
Can you tell us more about that?
There are many of them all over the world.
Who believe in the Devil's power. They come
here to be part of what they call a prophecy.
After the big earthquake,
Things changed.
People came. They became... troublesome.
And then they all disappeared.
What do you think happened to them?
Stories of demon possessions,
Devil's cult,
secret chambers,
child sacrifices.
This is Belen.
How old are you?
-Ten
Eh, Not yet. Tomorrow you will.
Wow, big ten rolling in.
Is your mommy going to
have a big party for you?
- She's not my mother.
- She's not her mother.
Oh, umm... I'm sorry.
I thought...
Belen was abandoned as an infant.
So I took her in.
She's the love of my life.
Belen, I'm Karen.
Kaaa-ren?
You're not a believer of the supernatural.
I can tell.
Yeah, superstition,
religion, all that bullshit.
I stopped believing in
that a long time ago.
I don't believe in miracles, kid.
I make my own.
Yeah.
Anyways, we'll dig around
for more clues tomorrow.
I don't believe any of this Devil crap or
this religious hocus-pocus that's going on.
This case, it may not be what you think.
How so?
Just keep an open mind, ok?
Don't worry about me Lucy,
I always have a plan.
I don't believe in ghost stories...
Fairies or demons, or whatever.
But man... this?
This takes the cake.
The prophecy is coming...
You know who she is.
Go find her.
Hey guys -Dante has
something to show you.
What am I looking at?
This is from an old newspaper.
This is a commune, I believe this
is their leader Eduardo Vicente.
He's the new person of interest.
So he's the supposed cult leader.
Ten years ago after the earthquake.
A lot of things changed here.
They became like...
And people come, but they don't leave.
Dante says they are suspected
of drugs and kidnappings.
That's when they suddenly disappeared.
What do you mean, disappeared?
They just suddenly went off the grid.
Nobody saw them ever since.
But they still disappear.
I'll just go look around.
Copy.
Um, I'll just meet you later at the station?
-Okay, ma'am.
She has been found.
The circle will now be complete!
This Eduardo, how do you know him?
Lucy, she was the one
that was connected to him.
Hi?
But you can call me Lucy -Hi Lucy.
Hello ladies, where is Aling Mercy?
Come in.
I got your message, you said
you wanted to see me alone?
Yes.
There's something I want to show you.
What is it?
I wasn't sure until now.
I wanted to talk to you, but these
things, the things that I've seen...
What's up?
I wanted to... tell you that...
Many strange things are
happening around here.
Belen and I...
Would feel much safer if you...
both... stay here for the night.
And do what?
I have an extra room, just for one night.
Is that okay?
That bed gives me the creeps.
I'm taking the floor.
Suit yourself!
Your scars... from the job?
I guess you could say that.
You got family?
Orphaned at ten, never
needed any ever since.
Everyone needs family.
Excuse me?
- I said everyone needs...
- I heard what you said.
Why the hell are you telling me this?
Gun!
Belen!
What the hell is going on?
Hell.
That's what's going on.
We have the child now. The
prophecy will be fulfilled.
What do you mean by the prophecy?
What did he say?
He gave me the location.
We have to find Belen.
We need to figure out our next move.
Grab your gear, we're going hunting.
We're not waiting for the police, are we?
No, we are the police.
Where's Ma'am Luciana?
Outside.
Going somewhere?
No. You going somewhere?
I'm going back to the
station to make my reports.
Karen -Who the hell are you?!
Hands on top of your head!
I'm gonna put a hole straight
through your head if you don't...
Belen's my daughter!
Liar!
I'm taking you in!
Help me save my daughter, please!
- You have no idea what a mother feels.
- Hands on top of your head!
They'll kill her before dawn, Karen.
I tried to watch over her...
-Shut up!
I've waited a long time for this chance
to save my daughter. I'll die for her!
I'm a victim here too.
I ran away from home to join a
commune I just found on Facebook.
We were just a bunch of hippies
wanting to start our own religion.
Eduardo taught us that
there is God in everything.
And we believed him.
I was young, underaged, naive,
I thought I was in love. How could I not?
He was protective, powerful, persuasive,
There was just something about
him that drew people to him.
They worshipped him like a god.
What happened after the quake?
Our homes got destroyed, our temple too.
We tried shifting through the
rubble to recover what we could.
But then,
Eduardo found this hole.
This hole in the ground.
Eduardo became someone.
Something else. They call it Yawa.
The Devil.
It destroyed Eduardo's soul
and possessed his body.
I was terrified, but the others
they were believers.
And you?
Not on my daughter's life.
Eduardo was the leader of the cult.
He was the vessel of the Yawa.
Vessel, what do you mean vessel?
The Yawa needs a vessel to survive.
It is the chosen one,
and Eduardo was the chosen one.
After my baby was born, Eduardo
said she had to be sacrificed.
Because she was the key to fulfilling
the Yawa's ancient prophecy.
So I knew I had to hide her
and escape from that compound.
They needed to keep her
safe until she turned ten.
Then the prophecy would be broken.
I didn't want to carry my
baby too far, so I left her.
I left her on Aling Mercy's doorsteps.
But I've obviously underestimated
the power and the will of the Yawa.
You're really starting cuckoo with
all this superstitious bullshit.
It's not bullshit. You'll see.
This is the place?
I think so. -Looks like a movie set.
We have a guy inside already.
What?
Lucky charms, amulets.
The Devil needs amulets?!
They probably belong to the people
that tried to escape this place.
Let's go.
The Yawa needs a vessel that cannot die.
The Circle of Bones is a ceremony
that gives the chosen one immortality.
So that the Yawa can survive in human form.
Sir! Sir, sorry sir. Sorry sir.
Yes sir.
You ready?
-Let's do this.
Dead end.
There has to be a way.
Sir!
Hey Lucy,
What's the deal with the cult?
The Yawa bestows the cults benefactors
with fame, riches, anything they desire.
In exchange for what?
A sacrifice.
A first-born child, ten years or younger.
I heard that too, ma'am
And you people buy into this shit?
Look, I was there,
I experienced Eduardo's powers.
It's hard not to believe.
But when I had my baby, I knew I had to
protect her. So I escaped from that cult.
Put it down!
Put it down, now!
I need to learn some Tagalog.
The Yawa is raising the undead.
They know we are here.
Raising the what? -We
have to keep moving.
My daughter is out there somewhere.
Look, I'm going after her! We need
to find the girl and get her home!
- With or without you!
- Don't tell me you trust her!
I trust no one, but I
know what I have to do
and I'm killing anything
that gets in my way.
So are you in? Or are you out?
Come on!
This Eduardo guy, you're
pretty sure he's...
possessed?
Whatever those things
w-were, he controlled them.
Controlled?
As in... told them what to do?
As in manifested himself in them.
Alright Ms. Wu. Tell us what you saw.
How did he... manifest himself on others?
Whenever there was an undead...
Undead? What's that?
Undead... that was what
Agent Ramos called them.
Whenever there was an undead...
There was a strange mist floating around.
Hey! Lucy.
Calm down. You're gonna be okay.
Okay breathe.
Sit down.
Tell me, how do you kill those things?
And what are they?
The Yawa, the Yawa lives in darkness.
'Cause it dies in sunlight.
It chooses the dead as hosts.
It jumps, it jumps from
body to body, Karen.
It's the only way Eduardo can stay
alive before he becomes immortal, Karen.
That's why he needs Belen!
Belen's the final sacrifice!
He's not going to get her, you understand?
We're gonna find Belen, and
get her home safely, okay?
Get yourself together.
Is he dead?
Lucy?
Karen?
FBI Agent... Karen Wu.
So you know my name, I'm not impressed.
You shouldn't have come here.
I'm gonna take you down!
Karen?
Agent Karen Wu.
I know who you are, you crazy bastard!
Where are my people?! What
have you done to them?!
You cannot stop destiny.
You cannot stop what has been written.
I'm gonna send you straight
back to hell you piece of shit!
This is hell.
I don't know, sounds like
all bullshit to me, Ms. Wu.
You actually believe this?
-Not me.
The disciples believe this.
The Yawa gives them power and in return,
he gets their sacrifices.
The Yawa and I shall become one!
All this power is beyond imagination.
Dante!
Dante!
What?
Window.
Light
beat
dark.
Dante...
Dante...
Dante!
Shit...
Dead. They're all dead.
It is time...
We will fulfill an ancient prophecy.
Now!
The blood of three!
Shall flow into one!
Lucy, you okay?
Relax, I'm gonna get you out of here.
Agent Karen Wu.
You can't stop what has
already been written.
Yes I can!
It's too late.
I am already bigger than
anything you can imagine.
I am the darkness.
You are not the light.
Do you know if anyone survived?
I don't know.
Don't!
I-I didn't say you could sit.
So...
Agent Luciana Ramos.
Whatever happened to her?
I don't know.
And the child?
The little girl.
What happened to her?
I don't know.
I never saw them again.
You're not even concerned?
Or just curious?
Of course I'm curious!
I wanna know what happened
I wanna know what the hell
happened and what happened to me
I'm not crazy...
Look at me,
people ask me what happened...
I can't even tell them myself!
That's why we're here, we're
looking for the answers also.
No!
You're t-trying to solve a case!
And you think I can help.
Well, I can't!
I'm just trying to figure
our what happened to me!
That's it?
That's everything?
Yup. That's it.
If you can remember anything else, just...
-That's it.
For some reason Ms. Wu,
I don't believe you 100%.
Yeah? Well that's your problem.
You're a cop too ma'am.
I'm sure you understand
where I'm coming from, right?
Ex-Ex Cop.
Last week,
a police SWAT team raided
a suspected cult location
Every cop
was killed that night.
There are others out there.
We just don't know where they are.
Come on.
Help us out here, okay?
Now get out!
I know you'e hiding something, Karen.
Get...
out!
I think she's lying.
So you guys don't believe her?
We're not convinced.
They'll eventually find her.
Yes.
We will keep an eye on her.
When it happens we will be there.
Agent Karen Wu.
I know who you are, you crazy bastard.
Where are my people?
What have you done to them?
You cannot stop destiny.
You cannot stop what has been written!
I'm gonna send you straight
back to hell you piece of shit!
You are special, Karen.
Why me?
It is rare to find a
soul as strong as yours.
You will make us even stronger!
No!
I'm never going to join you-
You will embrace your destiny.
Shh...
Don't forget to leave the bones.
Shame.
They'll never know the truth.
I...
am the darkness!
You are not the light!
She's a beauty!
Looks abandoned.
I wonder what's inside.
Jim.

this religious hocus-pocus that's going on.
This case, it may not be what you think.
How so?
Just keep an open mind, ok?
Don't worry about me Lucy,
I always have a plan.
I don't believe in ghost stories...
Fairies or demons, or whatever.
But man... this?
This takes the cake.
The prophecy is coming...
You know who she is.
Go find her.
Hey guys -Dante has
something to show you.
What am I looking at?
This is from an old newspaper.
This is a commune, I believe this
is their leader Eduardo Vicente.
He's the new person of interest.
So he's the supposed cult leader.
Ten years ago after the earthquake.
A lot of things changed here.
They became like...
And people come, but they don't leave.
Dante says they are suspected
of drugs and kidnappings.
That's when they suddenly disappeared.
What do you mean, disappeared?
They just suddenly went off the grid.
Nobody saw them ever since.
But they still disappear.
I'll just go look around.
Copy.
Um, I'll just meet you later at the station?
-Okay, ma'am.
She has been found.
The circle will now be complete!
This Eduardo, how do you know him?
Lucy, she was the one
that was connected to him.
Hi?
But you can call me Lucy -Hi Lucy.
Hello ladies, where is Aling Mercy?
Come in.
I got your message, you said
you wanted to see me alone?
Yes.
There's something I want to show you.
What is it?
I wasn't sure until now.
I wanted to talk to you, but these
things, the things that I've seen...
What's up?
I wanted to... tell you that...
Many strange things are
happening around here.
Belen and I...
Would feel much safer if you...
both... stay here for the night.
And do what?
I have an extra room, just for one night.
Is that okay?
That bed gives me the creeps.
I'm taking the floor.
Suit yourself!
Your scars... from the job?
I guess you could say that.
You got family?
Orphaned at ten, never
needed any ever since.
Everyone needs family.
Excuse me?
- I said everyone needs...
- I heard what you said.
Why the hell are you telling me this?
Gun!
Belen!
What the hell is going on?
Hell.
That's what's going on.
We have the child now. The
prophecy will be fulfilled.
What do you mean by the prophecy?
What did he say?
He gave me the location.
We have to find Belen.
We need to figure out our next move.
Grab your gear, we're going hunting.
We're not waiting for the police, are we?
No, we are the police.
Where's Ma'am Luciana?
Outside.
Going somewhere?
No. You going somewhere?
I'm going back to the
station to make my reports.
Karen -Who the hell are you?!
Hands on top of your head!
I'm gonna put a hole straight
through your head if you don't...
Belen's my daughter!
Liar!
I'm taking you in!
Help me save my daughter, please!
- You have no idea what a mother feels.
- Hands on top of your head!
They'll kill her before dawn, Karen.
I tried to watch over her...
-Shut up!
I've waited a long time for this chance
to save my daughter. I'll die for her!
I'm a victim here too.
I ran away from home to join a
commune I just found on Facebook.
We were just a bunch of hippies
wanting to start our own religion.
Eduardo taught us that
there is God in everything.
And we believed him.
I was young, underaged, naive,
I thought I was in love. How could I not?
He was protective, powerful, persuasive,
There was just something about
him that drew people to him.
They worshipped him like a god.
What happened after the quake?
Our homes got destroyed, our temple too.
We tried shifting through the
rubble to recover what we could.
But then,
Eduardo found this hole.
This hole in the ground.
Eduardo became someone.
Something else. They call it Yawa.
The Devil.
It destroyed Eduardo's soul
and possessed his body.
I was terrified, but the others
they were believers.
And you?
Not on my daughter's life.
Eduardo was the leader of the cult.
He was the vessel of the Yawa.
Vessel, what do you mean vessel?
The Yawa needs a vessel to survive.
It is the chosen one,
and Eduardo was the chosen one.
After my baby was born, Eduardo
said she had to be sacrificed.
Because she was the key to fulfilling
the Yawa's ancient prophecy.
So I knew I had to hide her
and escape from that compound.
They needed to keep her
safe until she turned ten.
Then the prophecy would be broken.
I didn't want to carry my
baby too far, so I left her.
I left her on Aling Mercy's doorsteps.
But I've obviously underestimated
the power and the will of the Yawa.
You're really starting cuckoo with
all this superstitious bullshit.
It's not bullshit. You'll see.
This is the place?
I think so. -Looks like a movie set.
We have a guy inside already.
What?
Lucky charms, amulets.
The Devil needs amulets?!
They probably belong to the people
that tried to escape this place.
Let's go.
The Yawa needs a vessel that cannot die.
The Circle of Bones is a ceremony
that gives the chosen one immortality.
So that the Yawa can survive in human form.
Sir! Sir, sorry sir. Sorry sir.
Yes sir.
You ready?
-Let's do this.
Dead end.
There has to be a way.
Sir!
Hey Lucy,
What's the deal with the cult?
The Yawa bestows the cults benefactors
with fame, riches, anything they desire.
In exchange for what?
A sacrifice.
A first-born child, ten years or younger.
I heard that too, ma'am
And you people buy into this shit?
Look, I was there,
I experienced Eduardo's powers.
It's hard not to believe.
But when I had my baby, I knew I had to
protect her. So I escaped from that cult.
Put it down!
Put it down, now!
I need to learn some Tagalog.
The Yawa is raising the undead.
They know we are here.
Raising the what? -We
have to keep moving.
My daughter is out there somewhere.
Look, I'm going after her! We need
to find the girl and get her home!
- With or without you!
- Don't tell me you trust her!
I trust no one, but I
know what I have to do
and I'm killing anything
that gets in my way.
So are you in? Or are you out?
Come on!
This Eduardo guy, you're
pretty sure he's...
possessed?
Whatever those things
w-were, he controlled them.
Controlled?
As in... told them what to do?
As in manifested himself in them.
Alright Ms. Wu. Tell us what you saw.
How did he... manifest himself on others?
Whenever there was an undead...
Undead? What's that?
Undead... that was what
Agent Ramos called them.
Whenever there was an undead...
There was a strange mist floating around.
Hey! Lucy.
Calm down. You're gonna be okay.
Okay breathe.
Sit down.
Tell me, how do you kill those things?
And what are they?
The Yawa, the Yawa lives in darkness.
'Cause it dies in sunlight.
It chooses the dead as hosts.
It jumps, it jumps from
body to body, Karen.
It's the only way Eduardo can stay
alive before he becomes immortal, Karen.
That's why he needs Belen!
Belen's the final sacrifice!
He's not going to get her, you understand?
We're gonna find Belen, and
get her home safely, okay?
Get yourself together.
Is he dead?
Lucy?
Karen?
FBI Agent... Karen Wu.
So you know my name, I'm not impressed.
You shouldn't have come here.
I'm gonna take you down!
Karen?
Agent Karen Wu.
I know who you are, you crazy bastard!
Where are my people?! What
have you done to them?!
You cannot stop destiny.
You cannot stop what has been written.
I'm gonna send you straight
back to hell you piece of shit!
This is hell.
I don't know, sounds like
all bullshit to me, Ms. Wu.
You actually believe this?
-Not me.
The disciples believe this.
The Yawa gives them power and in return,
he gets their sacrifices.
The Yawa and I shall become one!
All this power is beyond imagination.
Dante!
Dante!
What?
Window.
Light
beat
dark.
Dante...
Dante...
Dante!
Shit...
Dead. They're all dead.
It is time...
We will fulfill an ancient prophecy.
Now!
The blood of three!
Shall flow into one!
Lucy, you okay?
Relax, I'm gonna get you out of here.
Agent Karen Wu.
You can't stop what has
already been written.
Yes I can!
It's too late.
I am already bigger than
anything you can imagine.
I am the darkness.
You are not the light.
Do you know if anyone survived?
I don't know.
Don't!
I-I didn't say you could sit.
So...
Agent Luciana Ramos.
Whatever happened to her?
I don't know.
And the child?
The little girl.
What happened to her?
I don't know.
I never saw them again.
You're not even concerned?
Or just curious?
Of course I'm curious!
I wanna know what happened
I wanna know what the hell
happened and what happened to me
I'm not crazy...
Look at me,
people ask me what happened...
I can't even tell them myself!
That's why we're here, we're
looking for the answers also.
No!
You're t-trying to solve a case!
And you think I can help.
Well, I can't!
I'm just trying to figure
our what happened to me!
That's it?
That's everything?
Yup. That's it.
If you can remember anything else, just...
-That's it.
For some reason Ms. Wu,
I don't believe you 100%.
Yeah? Well that's your problem.
You're a cop too ma'am.
I'm sure you understand
where I'm coming from, right?
Ex-Ex Cop.
Last week,
a police SWAT team raided
a suspected cult location
Every cop
was killed that night.
There are others out there.
We just don't know where they are.
Come on.
Help us out here, okay?
Now get out!
I know you'e hiding something, Karen.
Get...
out!
I think she's lying.
So you guys don't believe her?
We're not convinced.
They'll eventually find her.
Yes.
We will keep an eye on her.
When it happens we will be there.
Agent Karen Wu.
I know who you are, you crazy bastard.
Where are my people?
What have you done to them?
You cannot stop destiny.
You cannot stop what has been written!
I'm gonna send you straight
back to hell you piece of shit!
You are special, Karen.
Why me?
It is rare to find a
soul as strong as yours.
You will make us even stronger!
No!
I'm never going to join you-
You will embrace your destiny.
Shh...
Don't forget to leave the bones.
Shame.
They'll never know the truth.
I...
am the darkness!
You are not the light!
She's a beauty!
Looks abandoned.
I wonder what's inside.
