  Jonathan Corbis : Ah, Doctor, um...

  Dr. Sam Richards : Richards.

  Jonathan Corbis : Dr. Samuel Richards. Yes. I've been aware of your work through these many years, Doctor.

  Dr. Sam Richards : Corbis, you want the Devil's Rain, I want Tom & Julie Preston. I do not underestimate your powers, nor do I overestimate them.

  Jonathan Corbis : Thank you, Doctor. I'm grateful that you are aware of them, sir.

  Jonathan Corbis : Has it been prepared?

  Satanists : It has.

  Jonathan Corbis : [points to Mark Preston]  Then I command this soul to be purified by fire and water.

  Jonathan Corbis : [chants another Latin prayer]  Open wide the mysteries of your creation unto this soul.

  [Mark, with his eyes now gone, is now converted into a lapdog puppet of Satan]
