It was in one of our seminars.

...stay away from me

Satan, I have Jesus.

She just started crying all of a sudden.

Then I realized...

It was like, like God

had spoken to me.

I'd prefer to call that intuition,

Reverend.

Call it whatever you want.

But I knew it was her father.

And that it had happened

more than once.

Angela?

These things they did to you?

When they summoned the Devil.

Who else was there with your father?

Could you please tell me?

His name?

You did great.

I'm afraid I don't know

anything about Satanism.

Are you a man of faith?

I'm afraid I'm in no mood

to answer that question.

Agnostic. You want to believe,

but you can't.

Don't worry.

I went through that phase myself.

I got a hold of a copy.

You branded her with an inverted cross.

Now I'm starting to understand

why you came to us.

It wasn't to get over

your wife's death.

It was to desecrate our church.

Well Reverend,

I...

You don't know what I'm talking about.

You don't remember

the insults, or the torture?

Or the excrement or...

Okay John...

Just do us all a favour.

Try.

...as part of a ritual

involving black magic.

One of his accomplices could even belong

to the Hoyer Police Department.

And tonight,

don't miss our special segment...

Wonderful. That's what

I call not causing a panic.

...keep the people of

this city in suspense.

- Hello?

- It's Cleveland, turn on the TV.

Yeah, all right.

What channel?

Yeah. Give me a second.

We used to consider Satanic ritual abuse

something from the middle ages,

or literary fantasy.

But in the last few years,

books like this one have opened our eyes.

They branded his sign

on my back, said that I was his slave.

They made me attend

their ceremonies for 15 years.

One time I even saw

them sacrifice...

Yeah right I'll see you tomorrow.

Maybe it's easier to think people

aren't capable of doing things like this.

It's very sad.

No! No! I don't want to!

Okay, Angela says that

Nesbitt branded this...

...on her stomach with a knife.

John just corroborated it.

That's not all.

Now he remembers something about

a black cat and someone wearing a hood.

You can imagine what

I'm talking about.

Satanic Ritual Abuse.

How long will you detain

George without any proof?

He's a cop, we can detain him

as long as necessary.

Tom. Find this book.

Get everybody a copy.

- Everybody?

- S. Cooper, she was on TV last night.

- Can I make photocopies?

- Just a copy Tom.

We're poor... I had to say it.

Boss, I actually read that book.

But it seemed like a pile of trash to me.

Baby sacrifices and snuff movies? Come on.

The FBI would be

all over something like that.

Really? What do you
