- Marie Eaton: [to her servant about Mocata] Show him out!
- Mocata: I'm leaving.
- [walks towards door and stands behind Marie]
- Mocata: *I* shall not be back... but something will.
- [pauses menacingly]
- Mocata: Tonight! Something will come for Simon and the girl!
- [leaves]
- Marie Eaton: [watching Mocata prepare to sacrifice her daughter, Peggy] Those words you said before, say them again.
- Duc de Richleau: [helplessly] I cannot!
- Marie Eaton: [urgently] You must! My baby is going to die if you don't. You must speak those words again.
- Mocata: [carrying on with the ritual] The bride of chaos.
- [coven repeats]
- Mocata: The rider upon the beast.
- [coven repeats]
- Mocata: With this knife, do I draw out the blood, which is thy life.
- Marie Eaton: [possessed by the spirit of Tanith] Only they who love without desire, shall have power granted them in their darkest hour!
- Marie Eaton: [moves to the altar with Peggy lying on it] Peggy, get up. Repeat after me, the words of the Susama Ritual. Oriel Seraphim.
- Peggy Eaton: Oriel Seraphim
- Marie Eaton: Eo Potesta
- Peggy Eaton: Eo Potesta
- Marie Eaton: Zati, Zata
- Peggy Eaton: Zati, Zata
- Marie Eaton: Galatim, Galatah
- Peggy Eaton: Galatim, Galatah!
- [lightning strikes the altar and it explodes]
- Duc de Richleau: [fearfully] Do you realise what today's date is Rex?
- Rex Van Ryn: April the, er, 29th, why?
- Duc de Richleau: Mocata isn't going to miss the chance of giving Simon his Devil's baptism at the Grand Sabbat of the year!
- Rex Van Ryn: [puzzled] What are you talking about?
- Duc de Richleau: Tomorrow night! It's the eve of May Day. Within 24 hours, Simon could be lost to us forever.
- Rex Van Ryn: What can we do?
- Duc de Richleau: [referring to Tanith] We find the girl!
- Duc de Richleau: [watching as Rex and Tanith, now restored to life, walk toward the house] Come in my friends.
- Marie Eaton: [rushes into the room with husband Richard carrying Peggy] She's alright!
- [Sees Tanith standing there]
- Marie Eaton: Tanith!
- Duc de Richleau: Time itself has been reversed for us. Tanith's death; Peggy's abduction; the ride to Chilbury; the ritual in the cellar... all these things happened. But now, they have not happened. We're back. We are all safe again.
- Simon Aron: And is Mocata also safe?
- Duc de Richleau: You will also remember, Simon, what I said to you about the Angel of Death once being summoned...
- Simon Aron: ...cannot return empty handed!
- Duc de Richleau: Exactly. Tanith has been restored to us. But the age old law demands a life for a life, a soul for a soul. And there is only one man in all this world who could replace her life, her soul. The man who invoked the Angel of Death. Mocata *is* dead.
- Simon Aron: Thank God!
- Duc de Richleau: Yes Simon. He is the one we must thank.
- [fades]
- Duc de Richleau: [Mocata is about to sacrifice a child] In the name of God, you dare not!
- Mocata: Scarcely in the name of God, Monsieur le Duc.
- Rex Van Ryn: [sadly walks in carrying the body of Tanith] She's dead!
- Duc de Richleau: [apologetically] I know Rex. The Angel of Death was summoned. He cannot return empty-handed.
- Duc de Richleau: [after Duc hands Rex some vials] Salt & Mercury. Effective against the dark forces. They will protect you and Simon... If we can save him.
- Rex Van Ryn: And you?
- Duc de Richleau: I have other protection.
- [cut to young women dancing wildly]
- Duc de Richleau: [rising] I tell you, these people are devil worshippers.
- Rex Van Ryn: That's ridiculous.
- Duc de Richleau: These are facts, Rex, not superstition. The final proof was in the hamper. They were about to practice the age-old sacrifice to their infernal master: the slaughter of the black cockerel and the white hen.
