David uses the cigarette lighter to burn off the creature and use the commotion to stop the car and threaten Roger, who disappears. After he taunts a wannabe magician as an obvious hoax, Dave is exposed to a substance that seems peculiarly like soy sauce, yet the phony magician claims it will actually expose Dave to the world of the supernatural.
