Demons (2009) - 1x02 - The Whole Enchilada

Six year old Madge (Kizzy Mee) might think her sister’s been ‘taken up to heaven by an angel’ but Galvin (Philip Glenister) suspects otherwise. Everything points to half-life involvement and he thinks it’s the perfect project for Luke (Christian Cooke).

A visit to zombie priest, Father Simeon (Richard Wilson) confirms Galvin’s suspicions. Gilgamel is no angel – he’s a demon, a travesty demon, a grade nine entity attracted by the odour of sanctity. When, due to Luke’s carelessness, Ruby’s (Holliday Grainger), younger brother Jamie (Ben Walker) becomes his latest victim, they are left with no choice and must summon the two thousand year old half-life and defeat him if the children are not to be lost forever.

But Gilgamel refuses to submit easily and he’s prepared to fight dirty. As they raise him, the demon takes on Jamie’s form and appears in the middle of a ring of flames. During the confusion that ensues, Gilgamel escapes and Galvin is left badly burnt.

With Galvin now unable to fight properly, it falls to Luke to defeat Gilgamel alone – this surely is the ultimate test of his prowess, but is he ready? Luke has inherited amazing reflexes and fighting instinct from his father, but has he committed enough to the task to succeed?

Faced with the demon’s true likeness, a hideous tormented gargoyle from some medieval hell, this is no easy task. As Luke fights for his life he realises things will never be the same again.
