It is Sunday, August 31, 2014. The national news is reporting a shooting at a posh hotel in Gateway, Georgia, after which Aaron Golden, manager of the punk band Howling Coyotes, had gone missing. A PR rep for Howling Coyotes announces that the concert scheduled at Gateway Ravens Stadium tomorrow night will go on as planned, with over 100,000 fans expected.

The local news notes a shootout near a Motel 6 and broadcasts poor-quality cellphone video of the exchange. Police are said to be looking for a Winnebago.

Father Martin becomes aware that the concert fits in with his visions of death and disaster. He prays over Golden and feels that Golden is now "clean" but rousing him from his coma at this time would cause him injury. On his own, Golden won't wake up for at least 24 hours.

Vicente checks on Bert Case and Mr Everett. Case pleads, "I really got to go." Vicente: "If I have to chase you, I'll kill you." As Case rushes to the bathroom, Vicente frees Everett, who says "I didn't sleep very well." Vicente: "I don't know what to do with Case. You, we're gonna keep." Everett: "As long as you keep me alive, I'll cooperate." Vicente: "It doesn't make any difference to me."

Vicente, Everett, and Case join Rick and Jack at breakfast. Rick says that the surname Carbone is prominent in Chicago; Vicente mutters, "Then I'm staying away from there."

After completing his morning meditations, Father Martin joins the others at breakfast. He asks Everett about Heinrich Kimmler. Kimmler is an international financier, with offices in Geneva, Shanghai, and New York.

Howling Coyotes consists of: Riva Romero, lead singer; Weston Lambert, bass; Gene McKenzie, guitar; Jamal Chan, keyboards; Kell O'Hearn, drummer. Kell reportedly has a keen interest in spiritualism. Everett notes that the band was "probably out partying" last night, which is why they weren't at the hotel with Golden.

Marcus suggests that to counter the expected evil rituals at the concert, Father Martin "bless a lot of water" and run it through the sprinkler systems at the stadium.

Valerie awakens in response to Lori Griffin's thrashing and whimpering in her sleep. Valerie comforts Lori, who relates having dreamed of her ex-boyfriend, Pete Pennington, being restrained in a large, dark room by two men who were torturing him by cutting into his body and peeling away his skin. She felt sure that the dark room was in Gateway but has no other clues as to its location. Regarding the two men, all she can recall is that one was an older man who was well over six feet tall, the other man rather shorter than average. Lori hasn't seen Pete in months, but abruptly admits, "I just realized -- I'm in love with him." Valerie suggests that Lori phone him, but Lori says the last time she tried that a woman with a soprano voice answered, saying she was watching the house.

Lori calls Pete's cellphone. Valerie hears her say, "Yes... Doctor? Why are you answering Pete's phone?... He's in intensive care?... Oh, just a friend." After hanging up, Lori tells Valerie that the person who answered was Dr Manuel Molina at Gateway Presbyterian Hospital, who said that Pete had been in a bad car accident.
