00:00 We are back in five, four...
00:05 Now, here's Mr. Midnight, Jack Dallar!
00:12 Oh, good evening, night owls, and thank you for allowing me into your living rooms once again.
00:19 Well, night owls, we've got a heck of a show in store for you tonight,
00:23 and I'm very excited for you to see it all unfold before your very eyes.
00:26 I really hope you love it. God, I hope you love it. Please love it.
00:31 I'm trying to host a passionless, indicated talk show, and I'm trying to help you keep it on the air.
00:39 We all know how important it is to keep our sponsors and affiliates happy,
00:43 but in my humble opinion, there is only one person who really matters in this whole darn crazy business.
00:48 And that is you, our viewer.
00:55 You're meddling with things you don't understand.
00:57 Whoa! Now, as you know, here on Night Owls, we think it's very important to keep an open mind.
01:03 Please welcome Dr. June Ross Mitchell and Lily, the young subject of the book, Conversations with the Devil.
01:10 I really don't think it's a good idea, Jack. It's becoming more unpredictable.
01:14 That's a good thing. That's why we still do live TV.
01:16 Ladies and gentlemen, please stay tuned for a live television first as we attempt to commune with the devil.
01:23 [Dark music]
01:28 Lily, can you hear me?
01:34 [Dark music]
01:38 [Screaming]
01:40 Good to see you again, Jack.
01:42 Lily, return to me.
01:43 [Screaming]
01:44 This isn't about ratings anymore. No one's going anywhere.
01:48 How could you let it happen, Jack? How could you let it happen?
01:51 Please be warned, anyone with young children in the room...
01:54 [Screaming]
01:55 ...that you're about to see...
01:56 You okay, Jack?
01:57 ...is profoundly disturbing and shocking.
02:00 You get out there, Mr. Midnight, and you knock him dead.
