Isla's estranged daughter Shayla Whelan finds a hidden space behind a wall with a box with the severed head, but they believe that it belongs to deformed person or an animal. Out of the blue, the head screams and they all bleed through the ears. They learn soon that the head is from a Banshee and in accordance with the mythology they are doomed to die.

The Mayans were right.

The harbinger of death is

coming and will show no mercy.

Are you listening?

Ow.

Ah, crap.

You cheat, Idaho Commando.

No blades, only guns.

I will destroy you

next time.

Hey.

Hey.

You know,

I'm a little too old

to have a babysitter

waiting up for me.

No one's waiting up for you.

I just... I couldn't sleep.

You should go to bed.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Fine.

Look.

I'm sorry

about the wall today.

It's okay.

Why don't you go to bed?

I mean,

you've gotta get sleep.

You haven't even started

packing your room yet.

What was behind it anyway?

Nothing.

Why don't you

ever tell me anything?

I don't wanna fight.

Yes, you do.

All the time, actually.

I can see it in the way

you look at me.

Why am I such

a disappointment to you?

Shayla, please.

I don't wanna

do this right now.

You treat me like a child.

You hate my boyfriend.

You refuse to even have a

simple conversation with him.

And, you know, sometimes,

I think you hate me, too,

because I'm the only thing

you have left of Dad!

Shayla, I don't wanna

get into this tonight.

When are you going

to stop blaming me?

It's not my fault you

weren't around when Dad died.

Bad night?

You, too?

It's not surprising,

considering.

No.

It was more than that.

I kept hearing voices

outside of my place all night.

Giggling.

Scratching.

And it wasn't the storm.

Something was trying

to get in.

It was taunting me.

I kept trying

to convince myself

that it was my imagination

getting the best of me.

Do you want to see what my

imagination did to me last night?

Yikes.

Then I guess it's a good

thing I didn't go outside.

Hey, guys.

What's going on?

Anything weird

happened to you

when you got home

last night?

Well, I was gutted to death

in my Commie Commando game

which is terribly strange, because

the only weapons available are guns.

My ear is still ringing and

feeling scabby after last night.

Mmm.

Oh, there was a dead

weasel on my front doorstep.

Otherwise, feeling dandy.

Oh, my God.

Professor,

what is going on?

I looked up Broderick

Duncan's name last night.

He used to teach here.

Retired 10 years ago.

Then I found

all these creepy videos.

I know he's gotta have

something to do with this.

"I am not a god.

I am not a man.

"I am the bringer of darkness.

"The great wielder

of the truth.

"Mankind has long suffered

at the hands of mortals,

"but I am the vessel

for which mankind will bow

"for its forgiveness and

pay for its ultimate sin,

"complacency. "

On the one hand,

he's an esteemed professor

who retired with dignity,

and on the other hand, he's

an end-of-days prophet of doom.
