Grim Reaper Page #6

I know it's late.

I just-- quick question.

Do you know of anything in town...

that refers to a Saint Joseph,

like a mission, a church, anything?

Yes, actually.

It's an institution for the insane.

Are you still there?

Yeah, I'm still here.

Um... an institution?

Yes. Why?

Oh, I'm just--

I'm-- I'm doing some research

for a paper.

Do you know by any chance

where that is?

On the south side of town

by the old church.

But it was closed in 1966

due to abuse allegations.

Closed in sixty-six due to abuse

allegations.

All right. Um... all right.

South side of town by the church.

Thank you, sir.

Rachel.

What was that?

I don't know!

He said it was a study.

He was studying us to see

how we shared the same delusion...

a vision of death.

Nick! He lied.

Yeah. No sh*t! But why?

What is this?

Because I made a deal.

You.

You made a deal with the Devil?

Angel of Death, Memnoch,

the Grim Reaper.

Packet warns that one out

of three smokers will get lung cancer.

Well... I lost the bet.

So you faced death.

And I made a deal.

Spare me, and I collect

the souls he failed to reap.

How?

My wife.

Still works in the nursing field.

Couple of name changes...

and you two end up

in the E.R. near death.

You two fell over the edge,

and you lived.

You tricked fate.

Next time death comes for you,

there'll be no reprieve.

I f***ing knew it.

Where is it?

Pete, is that you?

Pete.

Pete?

Pete?

What? Who's that?

What the f*** is that?

I put my mark on the door!

Pass on by.

Pass on by!

Look at you.

Look at yourself. Just look.

Brain-damaged street fighter.

You should have died in that fight.

Nick, don't listen to him.

And you, a glorified stripper...

who'd miss you if you died

like you were supposed to?

Liam.

Nick, you got to see this.

What?

It says that we can change it.

It says that you can change

the circle of fate.

So is that right, Doc, huh?

You've done your research.

How do we end this bullshit?

There's one way...

but I doubt very much if you two...

would be willing to pay the price.

No, no!

Pass on by!

Katie?

Look. I told you, you're on your own.

Jeez.

What?

What'd you do that for?

Pass on by!

Pass on by!

Get away from me!

Get away from me.

Pass on by!

No, no.

Get away from me. Pass on by!

No.

No. Stay-- no!

You're a liar.

There's got to be

another way out of this.

You asked me. I told you.

Now, do you mind

calling off your guard dog?

You know what?

You're gonna get what's coming to you,

OK?

This life and the next, I promise.

God damn it.

We got to be missing something.

Look at this!

There's got to be another way out!

Just forget it, all right?

I say we find Pete
