    Episode 2

    Poor Gabrielle Leggett. Her father has been killed. She is involved in some shady religious cult. Engaged to a too square fiance who is punching above his weight and for whom Gabrielle is too hot to handle.

    Hamilton Nash knows this, he realises that Gabrielle Leggett is trouble. So is that religious cult which Hamilton decides to infiltrate.

    Run by Aaronia Haldorn and Joseph Haldorn, They are using gas to condition people and looking for human sacrifices. No sooner as Hamilton as got Gabrielle out of there.

    She ends up getting kidnapped, her fiance is killed. There is a ransom demand. Maybe there is a Dain curse after all.

    It certainly is an over complex story. At least Hamilton is out of the city and into the countryside. Teaming up with a local sheriff, Ben Feeney (Hector Elizondo) to find Gabrielle.
