Easy, boy. Come here, come on.
What's the matter?
Something spook you?
You're okay, all right?
Yeah.
- Are you sure this is it? - Yeah, this is it.
- Look at it. - But...
I don't know about this, P.K.
Come on, you're not gonna wimp out on me now.
No, I just mean, it's kind of creepy.
That's what makes it so much fun.
- Would you hurry up? - Coming.
Look, man.
This is great.
I really hate lightning.
Lightning? It's just a small storm, it'll pass.
Oh, yeah.
Check it out, Dustin.
What is it?
It's a bone yard, man.
Heard about it on the radio.
They quit construction when they found this old graveyard.
Hey, look...
I really don't think you should be going down there.
Lighten up.
Hey, here, give me a hand.
What...?
That's not funny, P.K.
Quit whining. We...
This is sacred ground.
We weren't doing anything.
Please, mister, don't hurt us.
Spirits are crying...
...with pain.
Until now the city's efforts to replace old deteriorating buildings
with newer structures has gone smoothly.
But tragedy struck the city's newest reclamation project today
when two teenage boys were found dead in the predawn hours.
Neither their identities nor cause of death
have been made public.
- Ranger Walker? - Captain.
- Sixteen? - Yeah.
What the devil were they doing out here at that hour?
Looking for trouble, I guess.
It looks like they found it.
Yeah. Anyway, the night watchman called it in.
And I'm telling you,
he's spinning some kind of yarn about what he saw too.
Mr. Hopkins?
Excuse me, sir, but these two men are Texas Rangers
and they'd like to hear about last night, if you don't mind.
Well, I never saw nothing like it.
And I don't wanna never see it again, neither.
Could you tell us what happened, Mr. Hopkins?
Well, I was in the trailer taking a break,
and I must have nodded off,
I don't know how long, but all of a sudden I heard screams.
Made my flesh crawl.
All right, then what happened?
Well, them other cops don't believe me.
Well, we'd like to hear your story.
Well, I saw a fellow
over on that bulldozer there.
I couldn't make him out real good till he looked my way.
He sent a chill clear through me. He had the eyes of a dead man.
And it was then that I saw them, the ghosts.
Ghosts?
How do you know they were ghosts?
Well, I could see right through them.
I knew right off that them youngsters didn't have a prayer.
So I hightailed it for the police.
Thank you very much, Mr. Hopkins. You've been very helpful.
Ranger, it weren't natural what I saw,
that dead-eyed fellow and them ghosts.
You take care.
Yes, sir.
Gee, I wonder what he was drinking last night.
I don't think he was drinking anything.
Come on, you don't believe that Freddy Krueger and ghost pals story.
What have you got, Kim?
No sign of a struggle, no visible marks on either body.
Their eyes are open with the strangest expression.
What do you mean, strange?
It's not like anything I've ever seen before.
It's almost as if they were frightened to death.
Keep us informed, will you, Kim?
You know I will.
Okay, so we got an old man
who gives us a bad read from a Stephen King novel,
and our coroner tells us
that our two victims were frightened to death.
Yeah, right.
The mayor's upset, Walker.
We all get upset when kids are murdered, councilman.
Murdered? Well, tell that to our esteemed coroner.
She says the autopsy shows no sign of foul play or drugs.
Sometimes these things take a while to sort out, councilman.
The autopsy states that both hearts just stopped.
Give me a break. Healthy teenagers don't drop dead for no reason.
Maybe they were scared to death.
These rumors about killer ghosts already have the public worried.
The press is gonna have a field day.
Well, something or someone was out there.
Well, find him, Walker, please.
As long as there's unexplained questions about those deaths,
construction at the site will be held up.
It's gonna cost the city a fortune.
That's terrific.
Kids are dead because of something modern forensic science can't explain.
City hall's worried about cash.
So, what's new?
There must be some piece we're overlooking here.
I mean, what about some kind of new street drug
that maybe the ME doesn't have a test for yet?
I was told the boys were clean. They didn't use drugs.
Yeah, but what?
- I don't know. - Walker, Trivette.
I've been looking everywhere for you two.
Hey, Tara, how's the new job?
Well, the Dallas Herald is fine, thank you very much,
now that I have my first big story.
What do you think about this Ames-Moore killings?
What about it?
The ghosts.
Walker, anything about ghosts the week of Halloween
is a reporter's dream.
Who said anything about ghosts?
Sources at city hall.
Are you gonna deny that there's a supernatural aspect to this case?
I'm not going to deny anything.
Well, good.
So, what if I told you that these weren't the first
mysterious deaths associated with the construction project?
- What? - Two weeks ago
the foreman was found dead.
Wait a minute.
Arlington P.D. Reported that as an accident.
The man was found electrocuted in his own hot tub
the day after uncovering an Indian burial site.
Some accident.
Man, that's scary.
You see how fast Tara's fallen for that supernatural garbage?
I'm not so sure it is garbage.
I hate it when you do that.
What?
See, you're figuring out stuff
and you're not telling me how you got there.
I don't know what I've figured out, Trivette.
But I have an idea where to start. Come on.
No, please, go away.
Don't hurt me. Go.
My ancestors must be revenged.
K. Jennings & Associates, what's the connection?
Kyle Jennings designed the reclamation project.
If there's any problems, he'd know about it.
You must die.
No!
- What's wrong? - Oh, my boss, he's gone crazy.
He thinks someone's trying to kill him.
- Who's your boss? - Kyle Jennings.
He's locked in his office.
- Jennings. - Get everybody out of the hallway.
- Open the door. - Make them leave me alone.
They're trying to kill me.
Help.
Help me.
Help.
What the hell was that?
Bad medicine, Trivette.
Real bad.
I just talked to Kyle Jennings.
He was ranting and raving
that an Indian medicine man was trying to kill him.
Well, maybe it was.
Excuse me?
You heard me, Alex. Maybe it was.
So you saw him too?
Walker, I checked it out.
There was nobody seen entering or exiting that office.
That doesn't mean he wasn't there.
This is tied to the construction site, isn't it?
I heard the remains they uncovered
were Indian men, women, and children.
Yeah, they were.
The Comanches were defeated at Bandera Pass in 1841.
The ones that escaped were tracked down and killed.
It's all here in the book, if you wanna read it.
Jennings said that the medicine man
conjured up demon spirits to attack him.
Walker, when you were in Jennings' office,
did you see the things that he's talking about?
I don't know what I saw, Alex.
Right.
Washoe, it is good to see you.
And you, White Eagle.
Sit with me.
There is sorrow in your heart...
...and worry in your eyes.
Too much for one man.
I remember a story you told me as a little boy.
About medicine men who practiced dark magic.
Why does that story trouble you now, Washoe?
I believe I have seen such a man.
And he has killed three innocent people.
I found this.
Comanche.
Tell me more about this man.
When I looked at him, I could hardly move.
He had a strange power and brought spirits to life.
The man you saw must be a powerful witch.
Kalanu Ahyeliski, a raven mocker.
The Comanche call them skinwalkers.
How do I stop him?
I'm sorry, Washoe.
There can be no victory for you
with the skinwalker.
Only death.
What you have said tells me much.
Burial place of the Comanche dead has been invaded.
The skinwalker believes that he must avenge their spirits.
I must find a way to stop him.
The witch cannot be stopped, not by you.
Why not me?
You have lived too long among the whites, Washoe.
You would have no chance against him.
You have forgotten the tribal ways.
My father's Cherokee blood still flows through my veins, White Eagle.
And he would be the first to tell you
that it is not wise to interfere with the spirits.
I have no choice.
You cannot fight the Kalanu Ahyeliski.
He will go inside your mind.
He will know when your guard is down.
Then teach me, White Eagle. Show me the way.
To defeat the skinwalker's demon spirits,
you must first defeat your own demons,
for they will be used against you.
The Kalanu Ahyeliski brings to life all the evil that killed his ancestors.
They can only be silenced by the good spirits within you.
Never forget, Washoe,
the strength you need for this challenge
is not in your arms or legs.
It is in your heart.
Remember also, Washoe,
that magic is a good thing.
It is not to be feared.
When used for evil, it is only trickery.
Do not let the witch's tricks destroy you.
The strength you need for this challenge
is not in your arms or legs.
It is in your heart.
You have lived too long among the whites, Washoe.
Remember also that magic is a good thing.
When used for evil, it is only trickery.
Do not let the witch's tricks destroy you.
Councilman Graham, Tara Flynn from the Herald.
Why won't you return my phone calls?
I've been busy, Miss Flynn.
If I'd known how attractive you were, I would've shown better manners.
I'm interested in your comments
about the events surrounding the construction project in your district.
Well, we have an ongoing investigation into the Ames-Moore killings.
What is city hall covering up, councilman?
I don't know anything about a cover-up.
The night watchman said he saw Indian spirits attack the boys.
Yeah, that's a little bit farfetched, don't you think?
Well, your architect said he saw ghosts as well.
Kyle Jennings is a severely disturbed individual
as his attempted suicide would indicate.
Yes, but he called it attempted murder.
You're looking for a quote, right?
Well, here it is. All this talk about supernatural phenomenon,
it's nothing more than a smoke screen
devised by opponents to progress and growth in the city.
Can you name those opponents?
All you need to know
is that a worthless old building will be replaced by an office tower
that's gonna house hundreds, hundreds of city employees.
That construction will continue, Miss Flynn, as scheduled.
I think that's the end of our interview.
Thank you.
What? What the hell do you want?
I want your soul on fire.
He just stepped right in front of that bus.
He had to have seen it.
We had just been talking,
and then he just walks out in front of the bus
just like he didn't see it.
And then there was this weird Indian man standing nearby.
Walker, Tara just saw Councilman Graham killed.
You are not gonna believe what happened.
Yeah, I just heard.
Well, did you see Kyle Jennings attacked by Indian spirits?
Walker, talk to me.
I'm scared. I need to know what I'm dealing with.
We both do.
Hey, Walker, I sent that police sketch to the Comanche leadership
like you wanted. What's the problem?
The man we saw was a Comanche medicine man.
He's possessed by evil spirits.
- He's what? - I was right.
You guys, we are you getting so carried away by this.
Look, I know you're part Cherokee,
but there is an explanation for what we saw at Kyle Jennings' place.
Like what?
An optical illusion
or toxic gas in the ventilation system
from cracked heat exchangers, yes.
Trivette, Native Americans have been practicing magic
for 10,000 years.
Don't underestimate them.
I am not underestimating them.
It's just 1995.
Kyle Jennings was found dead 15 minutes ago,
hanged.
He was locked in his house from the inside with no forced entry.
But the neighbors heard him screaming and pleading for his life.
Your sketch of Jennings' assailant came up a winner.
Guy's name's Running Wolf.
Comanche medicine man known for practicing evil magic.
Bet you this guy scares the hell out of his own people.
Legend has it he can change shapes at will.
Turns himself into a wolf, a snake and a raven.
I know that's wrong about changing shapes.
Nobody can actually do that, right?
Well, an Indian shaman lives closer to nature than we do, Trivette.
We're talking about the impossible. No man can turn into a wolf, right?
Conjure up evil spirits? There's no such thing as ghosts.
Well, whatever, I'm not letting you take him on by yourself.
I have no choice.
The man's dangerous.
You gotta let me shoulder part of the load, I'm your part er.
It's a tribal thing.
White man's rules don't apply here.
I'm not a white man, remember?
Well, you dance like one.
Okay.
No, seriously.
This is between Running Wolf and myself.
But I appreciate it.
Oh, what is all this?
Is the violin too much?
Oh, no, I love it. L...
You just don't normally come up with anything like this.
Well, I wanted your birthday
to be very special.
This is more than anything I could ever dream.
You know, you're a very importnt part of my life, Alex.
And I want you to be a bigger part of my life.
I want you to be my wife.
I can't believe you're asking me to marry you.
Walker, what's wrong?
Walker, what's happening to you?
The spirits need revenge.
What?
- No! - You must die.
I know you hear me.
I walk inside you now.
You cannot refuse me.
I own you, I own you, I own you.
I own you.
You cannot refuse me.
I own you.
Never forget, Washoe,
the strength you need for this challenge
is not in your arms or legs.
It is in your heart.
You are not alone, Washoe.
I am with you.
Do not let the Kalanu Ahyeliski inside of you.
You cannot refuse me.
I own you.
The Kalanu Ahyeliski
brings to life all the evil that killed his ancestors.
They can only be silenced
by the good spirits within you.
No.
Never forget, Washoe,
the strength you need for this challenge
is not in your arms or legs.
It is in your heart.
You cannot refuse me. I own you.
You are not the man that you think you are, Walker.
Remember the drug raid in Mexico?
There is no escape.
I won't let you, I won't let you, I won't let you.
Get down.
Fire!
No, no, you're my only brother.
Please, please don't die.
No, no, please. He's my brother, Walker.
Not like this.
You cannot fight and you cannot hide.
I am inside of you.
And I know what it is that you want to forget.
But I will not allow you to escape from it.
You would have no chance against him.
Get down.
You have forgotten the tribal ways.
A man died because of you, Walker. Remember?
Because you were weak.
Because you failed.
But you failed then and you are failing now.
I can feel your fear inside of me.
And that fear is my strength.
He will go inside your mind.
He will know when your guard is down.
Do not doubt yourself, Washoe.
Do not forget the lessons I have taught you.
You must first defeat your own demons,
or they will be used against you.
Defeat your own demons or they will be used against you.
The strength you need for this challenge
is not in your arms or legs.
It is in your heart.
In your heart. In your heart.
Do not blame yourself.
This was my destiny, Walker.
You have no power over me, Running Wolf.
Hello?
Walker?
Walker, are you home?
Walker, are you here?
White Eagle? James Trivette.
I'm a friend of Walker's. We met before.
This is Alex Cahill. She's a friend of Walker's too.
Welcome.
We didn't know where else to turn.
We know that Walker's come to you for counsel.
White Eagle, something's happened to him.
His house has been ransacked and we haven't heard from him for hours.
We're afraid it's something to do with that Comanche medicine man
he talked to you about, Running Wolf.
Only prayers can help Washoe now.
And the strength within him.
The war between them has begun.
What, you talked to him?
I only know what I feel.
The skinwalker is trying to possess him.
What?
There could be no defense against your own past, Walker.
Your past makes you weak and pathetic.
You belong to me.
Time for surrender, Walker.
You cannot fight and you cannot hide.
I am inside of you.
No matter how hard you try, it won't go away, Walker.
Remember Vietnam?
You were a leader of men, Walker.
Captain Walker, base camp on the horn for you, sir.
Said it's importnt.
I can relieve you here, sir.
Fan the men out. Keep them in a wedge.
Keep a sharp eye out. Charlie's out there, I can feel him.
Yes, sir.
Your past makes you weak and pathetic.
You belong to me.
Pierce!
Man down!
Pierce. Oh, my God.
The time has come, Walker.
The spirits of my ancestors demand their payment.
They demand you.
Pierce!
They demand you.
I don't know.
Man down.
Pierce. Oh, my God.
To defeat the skinwalker's demon spirits,
you must first defeat your own demons,
or they will be used against you.
Against you. Against you.
It's not your fault, lieutenant.
I know what you're trying to do, Running Wolf.
And it's not going to work.
I can feel you weakening.
You cannot fight forever.
I've conquered the demons of my past.
I'm stronger, not weaker.
I'm sorry, Jimmy. I just can't stand around here and wait.
There's gotta be something we can do to help Walker.
I'm sorry, there's nothing you can do, Miss Cahill.
I don't care how much magic Running Wolf knows.
He's still just a man.
It is not Running Wolf.
It is the spirits who fill his heart that are powerful.
White Eagle, the spirits are restless because of how they died, right?
And how their burial place was disturbed.
Okay, so, what happens if we put them at peace?
That's great, Jimmy.
What if somebody prayed over the grave?
Yeah, is there some way of putting restless spirits at peace?
A burial ritual might help.
I will gather the elders.
Okay.
Yeah, Trivette.
It's Tara. I've got everybody in Dallas looking for Walker
and still no sign of him.
Hey, listen, Tara, we're going after this differently.
We're going after Running Wolf at the source.
What are you talking about?
Since this guy gets his power from the spirits that are possessing him,
we're taking the Cherokee elders down to the burial site
for a ceremony to give the spirits some peace.
- Do you think that can work? - At this point, we'll try anything.
- I'll meet you there. - Yeah, right.
Walker?
Alex? Trivette?
Help!
Nobody to hear you scream.
There is no escape.
From what?
You are the sacrifice for the spirits.
Let her go, Running Wolf.
She must pay her debt, as you will.
It's over.
I don't think so.
Magic is a good thing.
It is not to be feared.
When used for evil, it is only trickery.
Do not let the witch's tricks destroy you.
I know you're still here, Running Wolf.
Your tricks will not fool me.
You know nothing of the world, Walker, nothing at all.
Sooner or later, you're gonna have to face me.
Walker! Help me.
Where is he?
This is sacred ground.
The woman is going to die now.
Die now.
The woman is going to die now.
She will be a worthy sacrifice for the spirits.
But she will not be the last.
You will be the last sacrifice.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
How did you tell which image was real?
They were identical.
Illusion doesn't sweat.
Thank God, you're all right.
That was incredible.
