In Seattle, an Irish renegade runs into a church and seizes hostages. A banshee has pursued him from Ireland after a girlfriend he shot laid a dying curse on him. Police surround the church, but Marlon sneaks in and invites the banshee in. His fiancée, Jessie, is among the hostages, as is a pregnant woman. The pregnant woman goes into labor as the hostages flee and Marlon negotiates. The banshee has no power here, and it agrees, "a life for a death." The Irishman wants to die, but Marlon tackles him. Jessie is grateful but can't live in constant fear, so she kisses Marlon goodbye.
