00:03:40Make your second wish.
00:03:43Astonish me, jinn.
00:03:45Show me wonders.

00:04:47Help us.
00:04:50No.
00:04:51No.
00:04:58No.
00:04:59By all the names of God, this is not what I wanted.
00:05:02Then wish it away, exulted one.
00:05:03Then wish it away, exulted one.
00:05:05Wish it away.
00:05:06Stop.
00:05:07No more wishes.
00:05:09I beg your majesty, silence.
00:05:12But my poor people, I must.
00:05:14Do you wish their fate on the entire world?
00:05:16Do you wish their fate on the entire world?
00:05:17Do you wish their fate on the entire world?
00:05:18No more wishes.
00:05:19Please.
00:05:20I warn you, wizard.
00:05:22Hold your tongue.
00:05:23One more wish is all this creature needs.
00:05:26Three wishes granted to the one who woke him, lets him open the gateway between the worlds.
00:05:32New wonders, majesty.
00:05:34New splendors.
00:05:36New splendors.

00:06:36I don't know.
00:07:06I'm surprised you're here in person, Mr. Goma.
00:07:12Paperwork's completely in order.
00:07:14I've waited ten years for this piece.
00:07:18Antiquirin sculpture, eight foot tall,
00:07:22a statue of the pre-Islamic god Ahura Mazda.
00:07:28Under Islam, these gods were outlawed.
00:07:32It's a miracle this one was ever made.
00:07:36Yeah, I got me into it.
00:07:46Jesus Christ!
00:07:48What the hell is he doing?
00:07:50God damn it.
00:07:52Does the word dumbass mean anything to you?
00:07:55Watch that crate.
00:07:56That's very expensive stuff.
00:07:57I'm pure, my shit!
00:08:03Come on, move it.
00:08:17Let's go, everybody.
00:08:17Take your scum off of him.
00:08:20Okay.
00:08:21You ship?
00:08:22Come on in.
00:08:26Come on, move it.
00:08:28Come on, move it.
00:08:29Come on, come on.
00:08:29Come on, Sheriff.
00:08:30Take your scum off of him.
00:08:33Sheriff.
00:08:34He's got it.
00:08:36Oh, my God.
00:08:52He's got it.
00:08:55Come on.
00:08:57Come on.
00:08:58Come on.
00:08:58Come on.
00:08:59Come on.
00:09:00All right. Can I help you?
00:09:07Maybe. I've got a pawn shop down in the Garment District,
00:09:11Fifth and Thule, the armpit of the universe.
00:09:14Anyway, this came in this morning.
00:09:17I had a hunch about it, gave the guy a good price,
00:09:20and I'd like it a praise.
00:09:22Well, I think you made a smart move.
00:09:25Nick.
00:09:26Shannon.
00:09:27I think we have something Alex should take a look at.
00:09:30Hello, Betty.
00:09:34Wow, this is...
00:09:35What's its provenance?
00:09:39What?
00:09:40History. Where did it come from?
00:09:43Oh, I bought it from a guy who said he got it from his grandmother.
00:09:45That's all I know.
00:09:46Heard that one before.
00:09:48Tell you what, I want to have my best appraiser take a look at this.
00:09:52Shannon here is going to fill out a receipt for you.
00:09:54And thank you for choosing Regal Auctioneer.
00:09:58Sure.
00:10:00Now I could second-guess
00:10:04My judge will
00:10:07I end up with the same
00:10:10Guess that's it?
00:10:12Guess it is.
00:10:14Nice game.
00:10:15Boom!
00:10:16How is, um...
00:10:19Rick?
00:10:21I don't know.
00:10:23I haven't spoken to him.
00:10:25It's over.
00:10:27What's it been now?
00:10:28Six and a half weeks?
00:10:30Seven.
00:10:31What?
00:10:32Are you counting?
00:10:35I thought...
00:10:36Maybe we...
00:10:38I thought maybe we could go out.
00:10:42We go out all the time.
00:10:43Yes, we go out.
00:10:46Uh-huh.
00:10:47All the time.
00:10:47But we don't go out.
00:10:49There's a difference.
00:10:50You are my best friend.
00:10:52Do you know how hard a friend is to find?
00:10:54I don't want to...
00:10:55I don't want to mess that up.
00:10:57Dates are a dime a dozen.
00:10:58Oh, come on, Alex.
00:10:59It is so old.
00:11:01It's a date.
00:11:02Wait, you know what it is?
00:11:05I'm just...
00:11:06I'm just worried about losing what little I've got left now.
00:11:11Including you.
00:11:14How about dinner and a movie?
00:11:16How about hot dogs and a ball game?
00:11:18Plain and safe, huh?
00:11:23I'm going out on a limb here.
00:11:30I'm casting a spell on you here, Alex.
00:11:32Maybe it'll work.
00:11:42Hey.
00:11:47I'll see you later.
00:11:48I'll be at the lab.
00:11:50Hey, Alex.
00:11:52Think about what I said.
00:11:54Down we go.
00:12:03Down we go.
00:12:05Down we go.
00:12:06My God.
00:12:17A fire opal this size, it's magnificent.
00:12:23How magnificent?
00:12:26Excellent translucence.
00:12:29No other color traces.
00:12:34It's unique.
00:12:36Oh, that's a good word.
00:12:37Oh, I love that word.
00:12:40Unique.
00:12:41Should fetch quite a price, yeah?
00:12:44Oh, yes.
00:12:45And a salad.
00:12:47Get me a report, ASAP.
00:12:49Yes.
00:12:51Nick, leave.
00:12:54Yes.
00:13:08What's this?
00:13:10Oh, my God.
00:13:19Oh, my God.
00:14:19There may be something wrong with it.
00:14:24Does it affect the value?
00:14:25I have to talk to a friend of mine. We're going to have to run some more tests.
00:14:28Tests?
00:14:30Like what? A physical?
00:14:31There's something inside of it.
00:14:48Right.
00:14:49Well, I don't know. I'm no gemologist.
00:14:53I could run some spectral analysis, infrared, get some readings.
00:14:59That'd be great. Can you do it now?
00:15:00Hold on, hold on. I got about two hours worth of Professor Lieber's bullshit to take care of first.
00:15:07I'll get to it as soon as I can.
00:15:08Come on. You want to stay?
00:15:11No, I can't. I've got to put my girls through their paces.
00:15:14Yeah.
00:15:16Thanks.
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:16This is really important, so call me later, okay?
00:15:19You're the best, Josh.
00:15:20I owe you.
00:15:21Yeah. Well, how about that dinner, then?
00:15:23Come on, come on.
00:15:26All right.
00:15:27Pass it.
00:15:28Can you do it, Vera?
00:15:30Ah!
00:15:32Time out.
00:15:33You.
00:15:35That was very good.
00:15:36It was very good. Do you know what you missed?
00:15:38Mm-mm.
00:15:39You didn't have stillness.
00:15:40All of you can put the ball in the hoop as long as you take your time, take a breath, get your aim, right?
00:15:46But you don't always have that time in a game.
00:15:47Somebody's always going to be trying to take the ball away from you, and that's when you need stillness.
00:15:52Not in your body.
00:15:53Your mind.
00:15:54When you get a chance to make a shot, you've got to forget about everything else.
00:15:59Time doesn't exist.
00:16:01The other players do not exist.
00:16:03It is you and the basket.
00:16:06You see it.
00:16:07You find it.
00:16:10Shoot the ball.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:23Laser targeting full analysis.
00:16:27Well, this is the easiest state you've ever gotten, Aikman.
00:16:48What is that?
00:16:49You think me?
00:17:03Shit.
00:17:05End laser scan.
00:17:07End the laser scan, damn it!
00:17:08What?
00:17:24See him.
00:17:26See him.
00:17:27What?
00:17:27What's over it?
00:17:29I didn't need to talk about it.
00:17:45There's somebody there.
00:17:53Oh, my God.
00:17:57Oh, God.
00:17:59There's no place for you to pull me back, I don't know.
00:18:13Is the pain terrible?
00:18:17Oh, God.
00:18:18I can help you with that.
00:18:22I can ease your suffering.
00:18:24All you have to do is ask.
00:18:31Tell me you want the pain to cease.
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:41As you wish.
00:18:43Oh, my God.
00:18:59Oh, my God.
00:19:03Oh, my God.
00:19:05I'm fine.
00:19:19God.
00:19:35I'm fine.
00:19:36I'm fine.
00:20:05Josh?
00:20:07Hey.
00:20:09Josh?
00:20:10Hey!
00:20:12Josh?
00:20:12Josh!
00:20:14Hey!
00:20:15Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, miss.
00:20:16Hey, hey, lady.
00:20:17Hey, lady!
00:20:18Hey, hey.
00:20:19Josh!
00:20:19Is he?
00:20:21Is he?
00:20:22Miss?
00:20:23Miss?
00:20:24Get off of me!
00:20:25Miss?
00:20:26I'm sorry.
00:20:27No.
00:20:28I'm Detective Nathanson, and you are?
00:20:31Alex Amberson.
00:20:33Alex, Ambrose, huh?
00:20:36Good.
00:20:38Okay, I take it you knew the, um, um, Josh.
00:20:42He was my best friend.
00:20:46Um, I'm sorry.
00:20:49Look, you want to have a seat?
00:20:50No, I want to know what happened.
00:20:54Well, it looks like an accident.
00:20:56Equipment malfunction, maybe.
00:21:00You have any idea what he was working on?
00:21:03He was analyzing a gemstone.
00:21:09Oh, it's for me.
00:21:21Excuse me, lady.
00:21:23You got to help out an old older boy?
00:21:24If you ain't got no change, a dollar will do it.
00:21:26He'll only take five.
00:21:28I'll wait till you get back.
00:21:33Look, how many times I got to tell you?
00:21:41Hey, you left customers in there.
00:21:43That's not a good way to run a business.
00:21:44Don't tell me how to run my business.
00:21:46You're a fucking bum.
00:21:47Well, you don't tell me how to run my life.
00:21:51You're a fucking prick.
00:21:53I'll talk to anybody I want to.
00:21:55You don't own this fucking sidewalk.
00:21:57You want to know something?
00:21:58I do own this fucking sidewalk.
00:22:00You want to know why?
00:22:01Because I pay fucking taxes.
00:22:03Fuck you.
00:22:04No, fuck you.
00:22:06I hope you die, you sack of shit.
00:22:09I hope you die, and I hope you float down the gutters so I can fucking piss on you.
00:22:15Bald-headed baboon.
00:22:18Piss-complected afterbirth of a Chinese gangbanger.
00:22:23Educated idiot.
00:22:24I own the sidewalk.
00:22:27I pay taxes.
00:22:29I got your taxes swinging.
00:22:31I'll tell you what you can do with your taxes.
00:22:33And I hope they poke a hole in your kidneys when they're heading up towards your throat.
00:22:38I hope you're rotting hell.
00:22:40And that goes for your...
00:22:43Who is that?
00:22:46Hmm.
00:22:47A friend, perhaps.
00:22:50Tell me.
00:22:51Hmm.
00:22:54Do you really mean those curses you hurl so freely?
00:23:00Damn right I did.
00:23:02What would you do to have them come true?
00:23:06Cigarette and a handshake's about all I got right now, pal.
00:23:10Not quite.
00:23:12You have a soul.
00:23:14That I'd trade for a shower and a juggy jack.
00:23:17Then the death of your enemy would consider a bargain.
00:23:21You really are fucked up, you know that?
00:23:24But I do like the way you think.
00:23:28Indulge me then.
00:23:30What would you have happen?
00:23:33Give it some thought.
00:23:36Enjoy it.
00:23:41Hey, you should only get cancer.
00:23:47You should only get cancer and die.
00:23:50As you wish.
00:23:53Welfare checks.
00:23:55Stamps.
00:23:56And another thing, I...
00:23:58Hey, buddy, you okay?
00:24:02Oh, my God!
00:24:06You okay?
00:24:10I don't know.
00:24:12Hey, let her...
00:24:13Let her go.
00:24:14Was it worth it?
00:24:22Was it worth it?
00:24:35Run, insect.
00:24:37Run and tell those you will what you will.
00:24:39Tell them there is something loose in their city.
00:24:45Something which feeds on wishes.
00:24:53But tell them quickly, while you still have a soul.
00:24:58You're not enjoying it.
00:25:23Put it out.
00:25:25Hey, Alex.
00:25:32I'm really sorry about Josh.
00:25:35I know how close you guys were.
00:25:38Yeah.
00:25:40No, we weren't as close as you wanted, and now it's just too...
00:25:45Alex, listen to me.
00:25:47What happened to Josh is not your fault.
00:25:49I think it is.
00:25:53What?
00:25:56I...
00:25:57There was something...
00:26:01Weird...
00:26:03In the opal.
00:26:05I think that was what exploded.
00:26:09I think what I gave Josh is what killed him.
00:26:12Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?
00:26:14Ha.
00:26:16Yes.
00:26:18I know exactly how crazy it sounds.
00:26:20That's the problem.
00:26:26Do you, um...
00:26:27Do you want me to call Dr. Monteglio again?
00:26:32No.
00:26:35I'm fine.
00:26:36I'm just upset.
00:26:40You are not just upset.
00:26:42You're imagining things just like the last time.
00:26:45This is nothing like the last time, Shannon.
00:26:49Why don't you go to bed?
00:26:50I don't want you to worry.
00:26:52Can you can the big sister act for just one night?
00:26:56The fire was years ago.
00:26:58You got me out, okay?
00:27:00I got you out.
00:27:00I didn't get Mom out.
00:27:01I didn't get Dad out.
00:27:03Not didn't.
00:27:04Couldn't.
00:27:05Could not.
00:27:08Not your fault.
00:27:09Just like Josh is not your fault, Alex.
00:27:13You really got to stop blaming yourself
00:27:15or the whole fucking thing is going to start again.
00:27:18The therapy, the nightmares, everything.
00:27:21No, it isn't.
00:27:25It's nothing like last time.
00:27:27Something's going on.
00:27:35Something bad.
00:27:40I'm going to find out what it is.
00:27:54Mom!
00:27:55Mom!
00:27:57Mom!
00:27:57Mom!
00:28:22Ready to play, Alex?
00:28:24Mom!
00:28:24Mom!
00:28:27I can smell your fear.
00:28:46I'm looking for a dog worker named Ed Johnson.
00:28:49You guys can move here.
00:28:50That guy?
00:28:52Yes.
00:28:57Mr. Ed Johnson?
00:29:01Sweetheart, you can call me anything you like.
00:29:04Please.
00:29:05I don't have time for your games.
00:29:07Well, that's a damn shame.
00:29:08Could be fun.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:10Let's talk about the opal.
00:29:14The jewel?
00:29:15I don't know what you're talking about.
00:29:17That's odd.
00:29:19Your friend Clegg knew exactly what I was talking about.
00:29:21I don't know him either.
00:29:22I think you do.
00:29:23Middle-aged guy, runs a pawn shop,
00:29:26ratted you out at the first sniff of a lawsuit.
00:29:31All right.
00:29:32What's the deal?
00:29:33You a cop?
00:29:34No.
00:29:36And we don't ever have to involve them
00:29:37if you tell me where you got it.
00:29:42Ah, that statue.
00:29:43After the accident.
00:29:45You must have seen it on the news.
00:29:46Killed a guy.
00:29:48The Beaumont piece?
00:29:49How the hell should I know?
00:29:50There was some guy here who bought it.
00:29:52Yeah.
00:29:56Hey, Clegg gave me a couple hundred.
00:29:59Did I get fucked?
00:30:01Royally.
00:30:02Geary Abbey.
00:30:09Hey.
00:30:11Hey.
00:30:12Hey.
00:30:12Hey.
00:30:15Hey.
00:30:25Hey.
00:30:25Hey.
00:30:26Go, Gammie.
00:30:28Hey.
00:30:28Hey.
00:30:30Hey.
00:30:30Hey.
00:30:31Alexander, how nice to see you again.
00:31:01Mr. Beaumont, I'm so sorry about what happened.
00:31:12Yes, a replaceable, one of a kind.
00:31:18We are talking about Ed Finney, your assistant, right?
00:31:22Oh, yes.
00:31:23Yes, of course.
00:31:25Right.
00:31:27Well, if you're not too broken up about him,
00:31:29I'd like to ask you a few questions about the sculpture.
00:31:32Anything you wish.
00:31:35Well, the newspapers seem more concerned
00:31:37with the details of the accident, the crane operator and such.
00:31:40The drunken swine.
00:31:41And less concerned about the details of the statue itself.
00:31:46Was it bejeweled?
00:31:47No, no, undecorated.
00:31:49A likeness of a Horta Mazda, one of the few to have been made after the Islamic conversion.
00:31:54Mm-hmm.
00:31:55Tell you what, here, let me show you something.
00:31:59You'll be interested in this, I think.
00:32:01Any new treasure is at the auction house, huh?
00:32:11Ah!
00:32:12Jeez!
00:32:13Asshole.
00:32:14Gotcha.
00:32:15Wow.
00:32:33My room of lost gods, once worshiped, now forgotten.
00:32:41Every culture of ancient history.
00:32:46See that?
00:32:47Down there.
00:32:48That was the space reserved for Ahura Mazda.
00:32:52Yes, what exactly is Ahura Mazda?
00:32:56It's the objects I collect, Alex, not the theologies they represent.
00:33:01But for what it's worth, he was the monotheistic deity of the Zoroastrian religion.
00:33:07So he was a god of good, then?
00:33:09Certainly.
00:33:10Interestingly, though, legend has it that the opposing force, if you will, was actually
00:33:19his own shadow.
00:33:20So, in a way, he himself was the source of evil.
00:33:24There's someone at the university I'd like to put you on to, a very smart woman.
00:33:30She's done some catalogue descriptions for me in the past, but she could be of some help,
00:33:35provided you catch her in a good mood.
00:33:39You bastards!
00:33:42My eyes!
00:33:51My eyes!
00:33:52Alex!
00:33:57Alex!
00:34:00Alex!
00:34:02Alex!
00:34:03Raymond, what's the matter?
00:34:08Uh,
00:34:13Oh?
00:34:16Sorry.
00:34:17Hi. I don't know what happened.
00:34:21You fainted. Can I get you a drink or something? Some water?
00:34:27No.
00:34:32No, I'm fine. I guess I'm just under a lot of stress.
00:34:38But I'm fine, honestly.
00:34:41Honestly?
00:34:43I hope you'll be well enough to attend my party.
00:34:47The one that was to celebrate my acquisition.
00:34:52Your boss, Mr. Merritt, received the invitations.
00:34:56You and your charming sister should be most welcome.
00:35:00Well, thank you. I'd like to.
00:35:04But I think I may be busy.
00:35:11A little more.
00:35:12How's it?
00:35:13A little more. Hold on.
00:35:15Up. Back two feet.
00:35:17Okay, professor.
00:35:19Good, good. That's good.
00:35:20I told the dean's office that the paperwork would be there tomorrow. I'm busy.
00:35:23And how about this?
00:35:24Okay. Good.
00:35:26I think you're mistaking me for someone else.
00:35:28I'm Alex.
00:35:30Raymond Beaumont must have called you about me.
00:35:32Oh, yeah. What an insufferable prick that man is.
00:35:36Still, it's not your problem.
00:35:37Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to be working for him.
00:35:40No.
00:35:40We're sleeping with it?
00:35:43No.
00:35:43Oh, good. Well, that establishes your discerning good taste.
00:35:47A little, uh, no, no, no, no, no. That's not gonna work.
00:35:49That's all right.
00:35:50Upstage.
00:35:52Uh-huh. What can I do for you?
00:35:53Hi.
00:35:54Absolutely nothing at all until I can get your full attention.
00:35:59I like you.
00:36:01I'm just interfering here anyway.
00:36:03This is a, uh, a co-production.
00:36:05Folklore department, that's me.
00:36:07Drama department, that's not me.
00:36:09As soon as Professor Benson gets here.
00:36:11I'm gonna be run off. Come on.
00:36:14The Stone of the Secret Fire was first written about in Persia around 900 years ago.
00:36:19A court sorcerer is said to have imprisoned an evil spirit within it.
00:36:24An evil spirit?
00:36:25Yes.
00:36:26A creature from the spaces between the worlds.
00:36:30A djinn.
00:36:31A djinn?
00:36:33A djinn?
00:36:34A djinn?
00:36:34Now, hold on a minute.
00:36:36Forget what our culture has made of the djinn.
00:36:39Forget Barbara Eden.
00:36:40Forget Robin Williams.
00:36:42To the peoples of ancient Arabia, a djinn was neither cute nor funny.
00:36:46It was something else entirely.
00:36:49It was the face of fear itself.
00:36:51How's it look?
00:36:56You tell me.
00:37:07Wow.
00:37:07I'm glad you approve.
00:37:12Um, do you want to try something else?
00:37:14A different style, maybe?
00:37:16Tighter?
00:37:17Oh, no.
00:37:18Don't like feeling confined.
00:37:20Had enough of that.
00:37:23Okay, then.
00:37:24Follow me.
00:37:26Pleasure.
00:37:26Yes.
00:37:28Now, will this be cash or charge, mister?
00:37:45Demarest.
00:37:46Nathaniel Demarest.
00:37:48Call me Nathaniel.
00:37:49Okay, Nathaniel.
00:37:51Cash or charge?
00:37:53Which would you prefer?
00:37:56I don't know.
00:37:58Cash?
00:37:59Done.
00:38:00Oh.
00:38:01This is my first day in your world, Ariella.
00:38:09I am pleased to see beauty as a constant.
00:38:13Does it bother you?
00:38:14Knowing that your beauty will fade.
00:38:17That your looking glass will day by day tell you a long and unhappy story.
00:38:21Well, I mean, that's life, right?
00:38:30Happens to all of us, like it or not.
00:38:32Doesn't have to, Ariella.
00:38:34Ask.
00:38:35Ask and see what happens.
00:38:36Ask for an end to change.
00:38:40An end to decay.
00:38:41Say, I wish to be beautiful forever.
00:38:46I wish to be beautiful forever.
00:38:50Pleasure doing business with you.
00:39:04Soon, I will find you.
00:39:06Death and loses power.
00:39:08Would you like to do this some other time?
00:39:12No.
00:39:13Oh, I'm, uh, I'm...
00:39:15Oh, God, I'm sorry.
00:39:19I just wanted Professor Dolan to check out my costume.
00:39:22Well, obviously, it's scary enough.
00:39:24Go back to rehearsal.
00:39:27Thanks.
00:39:30You all right?
00:39:33Yes.
00:39:34Okay.
00:39:34The djinn, the word is both plural and singular, by the way, are a race created after the angels,
00:39:40but before mankind.
00:39:42Powerful, magical evil.
00:39:45Evil?
00:39:45I, I, I thought that Janie's granted wishes.
00:39:49I, it's what the myths say.
00:39:51They're obliged to.
00:39:53But their true motivation is always usurping this world for themselves.
00:39:56I never heard that.
00:39:58What I heard was...
00:39:58Sweetened fables.
00:40:00Over the centuries, faith became fairy tales.
00:40:03We avoided our terror by taming it into fictions, inventing stories of magical lamps to rock our children to sleep.
00:40:09And the old stories are darker.
00:40:12Much darker.
00:40:14In the old writings, the djinn is everything that we have ever feared.
00:40:18An utterly inhuman race of beings that mean us harm.
00:40:23Older than our oldest history, more powerful than our worst imaginings,
00:40:27and driven by an ancient and endless malevolence.
00:40:35We know we have the right...
00:40:37Now you shut up and you answer the man's questions.
00:40:46Detective Nathanson.
00:40:48Yeah?
00:40:49I was told downstairs you're in charge of the Aikman investigation.
00:40:53I was?
00:40:58Case is closed.
00:41:00At least as far as homicide is concerned.
00:41:02Unless you got something to tell me.
00:41:04Actually, I was hoping you had something to tell me.
00:41:07Oh, really?
00:41:08And what would that be?
00:41:10Nothing much.
00:41:11An address.
00:41:12A woman called Alexandra.
00:41:16What the hell makes you think I'd give you her address?
00:41:19What's your interest in this case, anyway?
00:41:25Why do you keep looking over there?
00:41:28See that guy?
00:41:30Guilty as sin.
00:41:31Walked on seven counts.
00:41:33Walked each time.
00:41:34Made a Teflon.
00:41:35Makes me sick.
00:41:36You know what I'd like?
00:41:37I'd love to know.
00:41:40Just once, I'd like it to be easy.
00:41:42I'd like to nail that prick.
00:41:43Dent to rights.
00:41:44Murder won.
00:41:44Everybody's an eyewitness.
00:41:46Hmm.
00:41:49You can't get this, by the way.
00:41:50That's it.
00:41:51I'm proof.
00:41:51All right.
00:41:51Come on.
00:41:52Come on.
00:41:57No!
00:41:57No!
00:42:10No!
00:42:10No!
00:42:10No!
00:42:11No!
00:42:12No!
00:42:12No!
00:42:13No!
00:42:13No!
00:42:13No!
00:42:14No!
00:42:14No!
00:42:14All right, hold him down.
00:42:16All right, hold him.
00:42:18Keep those cops off of him.
00:42:22Alexander, Alexander.
00:42:25Hey, you!
00:42:27Stay still, buddy. Come on.
00:42:29Hold him down.
00:42:44Ah!
00:42:50Shit!
00:43:03The Stone of the Secret Fire,
00:43:05created by a great Persian sorcerer
00:43:07to save his people from the djinn,
00:43:09is as much a curse as a blessing,
00:43:11because it is a doorway between the worlds.
00:43:14And like all doors, can be opened from either side.
00:43:16A djinn, once freed, can use the Stone
00:43:18to bring forth his race to our reality
00:43:21and overwhelm humanity.
00:43:23But the djinn must first charge the Stone
00:43:25by gathering the souls of humans
00:43:27who have had a single wish granted.
00:43:29He must then activate it
00:43:30by finding the human who woke him into this world
00:43:33and granting him three wishes.
00:43:35The sole limitation to the djinn's power
00:43:37is that it may only be used in the service of wishes.
00:43:44Mr.
00:43:47trade
00:43:49and other knights
00:43:50and Amber
00:43:51They're all right.
00:43:54I'm trying to locate an employee.
00:43:57There's no one here, just the boss.
00:43:58Fine, I'll talk to the boss.
00:43:59Open the doors, please.
00:44:01It's appointments only after business hours, okay?
00:44:04You're becoming a bother, little man.
00:44:06Open the doors.
00:44:13Okay, pal, it's time for you to go.
00:44:17Get out of my way.
00:44:20I don't think so, asshole.
00:44:21Do you have any idea how frustrating it is
00:44:25to have unlimited power
00:44:26and only be able to use it
00:44:28when some worm asks you for something?
00:44:30No, I can't say that I do.
00:44:32I can't say I give a shit either.
00:44:34Ask me for something.
00:44:36Okay.
00:44:37I want you to leave.
00:44:43No, no.
00:44:45I have to get inside.
00:44:48Well, now, you'd have to go through me.
00:44:51And that is something I would love to see.
00:44:54And that is something I would love to see.

00:51:11Hello.
00:51:13Miss Amberson, it's Detective Nathanson.
00:51:16Look, we need to talk.
00:51:24There was a guy here looking for you.
00:51:27I fake him.
00:51:28Are you doing something?
00:51:29Let's go.
00:51:39Help!
00:51:41Mr.
00:51:49Mr.
00:51:51Mr.
00:52:01Oh, my God.
00:52:31Hello?
00:52:48Only you can end their pain, Alexandra.
00:52:51Only you can free them.
00:53:01Patience, friends.
00:53:06Patience.
00:53:24Hi, um, can I come in?
00:53:31The stone is charged.
00:53:35It's charged with people's souls, fed with their fear.
00:53:38If the gin is after me, I need to know what the hell to do.
00:53:40Alexandra, this is the 20th century.
00:53:42Don't you think all that sounds a little unlikely?
00:53:45Would you like something to drink, by the way?
00:53:50No, uh, thank you.
00:53:52Well, I would.
00:53:54This is a nice cabinet, isn't it?
00:53:57Your boss would really like this.
00:54:00My boss, my boss.
00:54:01I never told you who I worked for.
00:54:04You didn't?
00:54:09Then how would I know?
00:54:12Maybe Beaumont mentioned it.
00:54:14Oh, yeah.
00:54:15He did.
00:54:19Let me explain.
00:54:21You are obviously looking for some piece of magic, some spell to get rid of this hypothetical
00:54:27djinn that you're talking about, right?
00:54:29Yes.
00:54:30Well...
00:54:33I certainly existed.
00:54:35Are you cold?
00:54:36No, I'm fine.
00:54:37Would you like me to put the heat on?
00:54:39No, just please continue.
00:54:41All right.
00:54:43Where was I?
00:54:44Where was I?
00:54:45Oh, yeah.
00:54:46Spells to sorcerers, Alexandra.
00:54:49You were born into an age of reason, an age of science.
00:54:54All the sorcerers are dead.
00:54:56And all the spells lost to time.
00:55:00But the djinn itself, the djinn, if it existed, would be all there was.
00:55:07Imagine that.
00:55:09The only magical thing in a rationalist world.
00:55:13A vulnerable world of disbelief.
00:55:17Where no reason would ever rescue you, nor science save you.
00:55:22He would have a fine old time, wouldn't he?
00:55:31This isn't a joke.
00:55:33No.
00:55:34It's not funny.
00:55:36Are you hungry?
00:55:39I'm not hungry.
00:55:40I'm not thirsty.
00:55:41I'm not...
00:55:42Why do you keep trying to do things for me?
00:55:52I'm sorry.
00:55:57I guess I'm just a little tense.
00:56:06I guess.
00:56:09But I'm fine.
00:56:11All right.
00:56:14Where were we?
00:56:16Oh, yes.
00:56:18No spells.
00:56:20No hope.
00:56:22There's no hope.
00:56:24No magic.
00:56:27I'll have to rely on myself.
00:56:31Match wits with a creature older than time.
00:56:35Match wits with a prince of the dark dominions.
00:56:39Pit your tiny 20th century brain against one who walked the spaces between the worlds.
00:56:47And trod the wings of angels beneath his conquering feet.
00:56:51Oh, Alexandra.
00:56:55You're a delight, really.
00:56:57You are.
00:57:01I'm glad I can amuse you.
00:57:03Oh.
00:57:04I hurt your feelings.
00:57:05I'm sorry.
00:57:07Let me make it up to you.
00:57:09What can I do?
00:57:10What can I do?
00:57:11I must be going now.
00:57:13I must be going now.
00:57:18Sit down.
00:57:23Please.
00:57:25Sit down.
00:57:26Where's Wendy?
00:57:27Bessie.
00:57:28I needed her face.
00:57:30You killed her?
00:57:32Actually, I can't kill anyone.
00:57:34Not unless they wish me to.
00:57:36Your research should have told you that.
00:57:37She could wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit.
00:57:38I showed her my true face.
00:57:39Her reaction wasn't very flattering.
00:57:40As a matter of fact, she got downright hysterical.
00:57:42I merely asked her if she wished to be released from her fear.
00:57:43You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra.
00:57:44Your scientist's friend, your boss.

00:58:07I just need to know her what I did.
00:58:09You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra.

01:00:52I am the face that stares back at you
01:00:55from the shadowed mirror.
01:00:57The hollowness at the heart of all your hopes, Alessandra.
01:01:04I am despair.
01:01:19Bowenum.
01:01:22Oh, shit.
01:01:27Careful what you wish for.
01:01:48Bowenum!
01:01:52Bowenum!
01:01:54Bowenum!
01:01:56Shannon?
01:02:09So, how do you like me so far?
01:02:16I didn't wish you this.
01:02:18You're supposed to be outside.
01:02:19You're not supposed to be here.
01:02:21I am bound by that which I bind, contained by that which I contain.
01:02:28This isn't what I wanted.
01:02:29Well then, word your wishes more carefully.
01:02:33Oh, Alessandra, left your sister all alone.
01:02:45Not to worry.
01:02:47I'll find her and keep her company.
01:02:50Don't you go near her.
01:02:51I might have to.
01:02:52You know how persuasive the pain of loved ones can be.
01:02:58No.
01:03:05Stop me then.
01:03:07Wish yourself back.
01:03:09I wish I was in my apartment.
01:03:11Right now.
01:03:12Without you.
01:03:13Shannon?
01:03:24Shannon, where are you?
01:03:26We've got to get out of here.
01:03:28Two wishes in.
01:03:46We're so connected now.
01:03:48Wherever you go, there I'll be.
01:03:50Wherever you are, I will find you.
01:03:52Fuck you!
01:04:17Fuck you!
01:04:17Fuck you!
01:04:20Fuck you!
01:04:22Fuck you!
01:04:22Going my way.
01:04:52Excuse me, uh, is your name on the list?
01:05:00You have got to help me.
01:05:02This guy is crazy.
01:05:03He's dangerous.
01:05:03He broke my window.
01:05:04He is trying to kill me.
01:05:17Excuse me, sir.
01:05:19Is Mr. Beaumont expecting you?
01:05:23I asked you a question, sir.
01:05:26Am I expected?
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:29I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mr. Beaumont.
01:05:32Well, that sounds good.
01:05:34But it doesn't sound like an invitation.
01:05:36I don't care what it sounds like.
01:05:38Step aside.
01:05:40Let me make this real simple for you.
01:05:42Your name isn't on the list.
01:05:44You don't get in.
01:05:46Yeah.
01:05:47I've dealt with your type before.
01:05:49Mister, you never even met my type before.
01:05:53I am going through that door.
01:05:55And you will not stop me.
01:05:57Is that perfectly clear, door man?
01:06:00Door?
01:06:00The name is Valentine.
01:06:03Johnny Valentine.
01:06:05You remember that when they asked me.
01:06:07Have you lost your eye?
01:06:09Forgive my presence.
01:06:10My eagerness for the endgame has skewed my judgment.
01:06:15I'll make you a deal.
01:06:16I don't make deals.
01:06:18What else do you have to do?
01:06:20Tonight, I keep assholes out of parties.
01:06:24And what about tomorrow?
01:06:27Surely you're not telling me this is all you can do.
01:06:30Hmm?
01:06:31Nor all you ever have done.
01:06:34It certainly isn't all you've ever wished for.
01:06:37Tell me the truth.
01:06:39Don't you grow weary of this job day in and day out?
01:06:43Wouldn't you like to escape into a more exciting profession?
01:06:46What the fuck does that have to do with you?
01:06:49Everything.
01:06:49Take the chance, Johnny.
01:06:53Answer the question.
01:06:55Would you like to escape?
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:04As you wish.
01:07:05As you wish.
01:07:19Excuse me.
01:07:23Excuse me.
01:07:27Yes, please.
01:07:30Excuse me.
01:07:31Sure.
01:07:32Excuse me.
01:07:35Oh, how is it that you know, Miss Bo?
01:07:37Shannon?
01:07:37Huh?
01:07:39Sorry.
01:07:40I'm sorry.
01:07:44He's always throwing you in the bar.
01:07:49Here you are.
01:07:52I'm excited.
01:07:52I didn't know you were coming.
01:07:53What are you doing?
01:07:54I'm trying to get you out of here.
01:07:55Come on.
01:07:55I'm going to go.
01:07:56Hell off of me.
01:07:57Shannon, we've got to leave now.
01:07:59Trust me.
01:07:59No.
01:08:00Trust me.
01:08:01You obviously haven't seen Beaumont's new friend.
01:08:04You remember the guy from the basketball court?
01:08:13Shannon?
01:08:13Shannon?
01:08:14And I was at Cindy's party of divorce.
01:08:16The one where they served the divorce papers in the middle of a dinner.
01:08:19He was running a little hysterical.
01:08:21People talked about it for a year.
01:08:23Really?
01:08:24Hmm.
01:08:25I remember a certain potentate whose last party was talked about for centuries.
01:08:30What do you mean?
01:08:31It went down in history.
01:08:33Oh, yes.
01:08:34God, how I'd love to host a party like that.
01:08:39Shannon!
01:08:44As you wish.
01:08:49Ted, you can see right through me.
01:08:52Huh.
01:08:53Oh, my God.
01:09:23Where are you going?
01:09:23Not yet, human.
01:09:25Soon.
01:09:26Very soon.
01:09:28I will be...
01:09:34Oh, my God's escape.
01:09:37Janet!
01:09:40Alex!
01:09:41Shannon!
01:09:43Oh!
01:09:47Oh!
01:09:48Perimeter! Everybody get to the house now!
01:10:18We'll have unfinished business.
01:10:24It's going to stay unfinished.
01:10:28Listen to their screams, child.
01:10:32Listen to the music of their agony.
01:10:37You bastard!
01:10:39You can save them, Alexandra.
01:10:43Just wish it away.
01:10:46No, I won't.
01:10:48I can't.
01:10:49My patience wears thin.
01:10:58What are you going to do? Kill me?
01:11:01Where's your third wish then?
01:11:04I don't need you dead, Alexandra.
01:11:07I just need you to wish you were...
01:11:11servers are on theinese зов.
01:11:13I'm going to show you going to toll me.
01:11:15Run.
01:11:17Run.
01:11:19Run.
01:11:21Run.
01:11:23Run.
01:11:25Run.
01:11:27Run.
01:11:29Run.
01:11:35Run.
01:11:37Raymond.
01:11:39Alex. Alex, what is going on?
01:11:41I'm Shannon.
01:11:43Raymond, have you seen Shannon?
01:11:45Raymond.
01:11:47Oh, my God.
01:12:15What the hell is on the bus?
01:12:17Is it possible?
01:12:19You will be saved.
01:12:21I'm a god.
01:12:23I'm a part of the bus.
01:12:25I'm a part of your bus.
01:12:27I'm a part of your bus.
01:12:29I'm good.
01:12:31Hey, Miss! Come with us. We're trying to get this under control.
01:12:48Get out of here! Get out! He's coming!
01:13:01No! Get back!
01:13:15Please! We have got to go! We have got to serve our doing good!
01:13:45Shh!
01:13:46He he he he he he!
01:13:48Oh! Oh! Oh!
01:13:52Ah!
01:13:54Ah!
01:13:55Get in!
01:13:59Huh?
01:14:04Huh?
01:14:09Huh?
01:14:15No more doors. No more rooms. No more excuses. Make your wish.
01:14:36I will not wish.
01:14:38Really?
01:14:41Not even when I show you the latest addition to Beaumont's collection. The final flowering of his wish.
01:14:48What?
01:14:49What?
01:14:50A little masterpiece of my own. I call it. Sister, why have you forsaken me?
01:14:59Oh, God.
01:15:02Get in!
01:15:03Rather a good likeness, don't you think? I especially relish the trapped animal look in the eyes.
01:15:11You vicious son of a-
01:15:13Bitch!
01:15:14Don't prove.
01:15:16All right, then.
01:15:17Fuck it!
01:15:18You know what I say. If you can't beat them, burn them, baby.
01:15:27Don't get it!
01:15:28Don't get it!
01:15:30God!
01:15:31Eh?
01:15:32No.
01:15:33It's all about the firstborn.
01:15:34No.
01:15:35It's all about the new souls.
01:15:37Aaaaaaah!
01:15:38Don't get it!
01:15:39Remind you of something.
01:15:42Make your wish.
01:15:58I suggest you do it quickly, dear.
01:16:09Oh, God.
01:16:12Oh, God.
01:16:22Stillness.
01:16:32I wish.
01:16:33Yes.
01:16:35I wish.
01:16:45Wish on child.
01:16:46Stillness.
01:16:56I wish Mickey Torelli hadn't been drinking on the job two days ago.
01:17:00No.
01:17:01No.
01:17:02No.
01:17:03No.
01:17:04No.

01:17:32No.
01:17:34No.
01:17:36No.
01:17:37I wish you'd never met me.
01:18:07I'm surprised you're here in person, Mr. Blomont.
01:18:30The paperwork's completely in order.
01:18:32I've waited ten years for this place.
01:18:35Hey, Mickey, watch it!
01:18:37Look, what do you think that is?
01:18:38Coconuts?
01:18:39That's pre-Islamic stuff you got in there.
01:18:42Now, slowly, thanks.
01:18:44Okay, got it!
01:18:46Oh, yeah, this will make someone a very nice engagement gift.
01:18:59Very least a nice engagement gift.
01:19:13Yeah.
01:19:14Yeah.
01:19:15Mmm, it's got an interesting look.
01:19:17Hi, Mickey!
01:19:18I'll tell you what.
01:19:19You're late.
01:19:20Sorry.
01:19:21I'll give you 2,000.
01:19:24So what are we doing tonight?
01:19:26We...
01:19:27Oh, what's the matter, Josh?
01:19:32Are you afraid of the complications?
01:19:35Um...
01:19:36You know what?
01:19:39I think this could help.
01:19:41Does that help?
01:19:42This is...
01:19:43This is...
01:19:45Yeah.
01:19:50Yeah, where are we going tonight?
01:19:57Dinner and a movie?

01:20:01Yeah.
01:20:02Yeah.
01:20:02Yeah.
01:20:03Yeah.
01:20:03Yeah.

01:20:06About hot dogs and a ball game.
01:20:08Yeah.
01:20:09Um...
01:20:10Are you...
01:20:11Are you all right?

01:20:43Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:21:13Give me time, I need to make mistakes
01:21:20Give me love, before my heart breaks
01:21:26Listen to your heart, understand the right
01:21:34Listen to your heart, before you say goodbye
01:21:40Don't you see, truth is always no
01:21:45Eyes are wide, just like you see the ghost
01:21:51Give me hope, cause I was never sure
01:21:58Give me faith, cause I was never yours
01:22:04Listen to your heart, don't tell me your life
01:22:12Listen to your heart, tell the truth all night
01:22:18Listen to your heart, listen to your life
01:22:25Listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright
01:22:31Listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright
01:22:36Listen to your heart, and then you'll be alright
01:22:39See you next time
01:25:10Careful what you wish for.
