Sergei, what happened?

The Black Sky ceremony is...

is very powerful.

It's been passed on

through our shamans

for many, many centuries.

(LAUGHING)

You don't even know, do you?

Because you've never seen

anything like it before.

And you have?

Doing field research

in Tibet, Mongolia.

I saw white magic

in the rituals.

Sh*t that can't be

explained by natural laws.

What's your point?

The Altai tell us our

universe is layered.

Levels of heaven,

levels of the underworld.

Our Piotr just opened a gate.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

The question is,

in which direction?

Maybe you wanna

f***ing elaborate?

Everything is energy.

Light energy, dark energy.

And it flows back and forth.

And when you communicate

with the spirit world,

it doesn't just

receive messages.

It also sends them.

That's what this was.

A message.

So what'd it say?

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

Ask the shaman.

What happened?

I think...

You...

no sleep for many hours.

But what the f*** just happened?

What the f*** just happened?!

Kara.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Crazy, right?

It was sorta crazy

before it got crazy.

We've definitely

veered off into...

The land of "what the f***?"

Exactly.

It was brave of you

to even come here.

Knowing how they'd look at you.

What they'd think of you.

We all lost our

friend. But you...

I didn't lose Brandon.

I'm still gonna visit him

every Sunday, twelve to one.

Until they find out

who really killed Kara.

Maybe then they can

even bury her, huh?

So the spirit world's

sending a message, huh?

I mean, what the f***?

Maybe arson's not the best

way to f***ing communicate,

ya know?

I'm gonna go get some fresh air.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

(EERIE MUSIC)

(CLOCK TICKING)

(SOMBER MUSIC)

What is happening here?

It's going to be all right.

Alice is still convinced

Brandon didn't do it.

Ya know what?

F*** Brandon. Okay?

I'm more concerned with

the lunatics downstairs

than the one in prison

half a world away.

On the plane,

in the car,

you barely said two words to me.

You think I don't know why?

You only wanna sleep with me

when you need a distraction.

(SOMBER MUSIC)

(SEXUAL MOANING)

(MOANING)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(EERIE MUSIC)

(KARA VOICE-OVER

SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

That Altai voodoo sh*t you did,

blew my f***ing mind.

You know Kara

was the first person I met

when I came to the U.S.

Both from far away places.

But she made friends

with everybody.

Some of us like each

other, some don't,

but we all loved Kara.

(CHUCKLING)

I was gonna show her Barcelona

and she was gonna show

me the Altai mountains.

And here I am,

here we are, without her.

Life, tio.

F***ing life.

It's just burning away
