From Black (2023)

[bunniefuu]

911. What's your emergency?

Please. Please send someone.

Tell me what's going on,

ma'am.

Just send someone.

Deputies are already on

the way, ma'am. Are you hurt?

I don't know.

I-I have to get out.

Ma'am, are you still there?

I can't get out.

He could still be here.

Found her sitting in

the middle of the room.

Which room?

The bad one.

The bad one?

Is she hurt?

Medic says she's pretty

dehydrated, but fine otherwise.

It's someone else's blood.

We haven't been able

to ID her yet.

Loewen.

Sorry?

Her name is Cora Loewen.

Hey, Cora.

You need anything? You want

some water or something?

Can you tell me what happened?

Can you tell me whose blood

is all over you?

I just wanted him back.

He told me

we could get him back.

Who told you?

I really thought

that we could get him back.

No.

Cora.

It's been seven years.

Wyatt.

Wyatt! Wyatt.

Hey! Wake up.

You got to help me hide

all this sh*t.

f*ck.

Are you Noah Loewen's mother?

What is this?

Do you know where

your son is, Ms. Loewen?

Yeah, of course.

Of course I do.

Okay. What the f*ck is this?

We're just following up on

the welfare check, ma'am.

Can you just go confirm

that he's here, please?

Center 15 send two.

That's a negative

at the residence.

The pain of losing someone

close to us can feel unbearable.

Loneliness, helplessness.

Just a feeling that no one else

on the planet Earth could

possibly understand.

And yet everyone in this circle

has felt that way

to one degree or another

at some point.

And just to have the courage

to sit in this room,

to be here together,

for this kind of healing,

that is the first step

toward taking back control.

Just gives me this warm feeling

in my heart knowing that it

might give you just

a tiny bit of comfort

to hear it and to share it.

Because having this group

has given

the loss of my Beverly a meaning

that I just never thought

would have been possible.

And I owe that to everyone.

All right, well, we got pivot

to Thursday for next week

because bingo

has the room reserved.

All right.

Thanks for coming, you guys.

Today is his birthday.

Or...

it would have been.

It would have been his birthday.

I've never really shared here.

I think because I thought that

just by coming,

I was somehow moving forward or

working towards something.

Healing. Maybe. I don't know.

Looking for an answer

to a question, I guess.

I think I might have just been

kidding myself.

There probably isn't an answer.

But I search and I search

for that thing.

You know, that little thing

that just might help

trigger something

or help me remember.

But there's just nothing.

There's just staying high.

That is all there f*cking was.

And I didn't care what

anybody did to me

or what anybody took from me

as long as I was high.

And I promised myself

that I would be sober

when he came back to me.

And I have been sober

a very long time now.

I mean, I don't even know

how I'm supposed to act anymore.

You know?

Or what I'm supposed to feel.

I mean, what am I supposed

to do with all this?

Am I supposed to hold out hope?

I mean, a mother is supposed

to hold out hope, right?

What kind of mother would I be

if I just gave up hope?

But what if I just

don't have any?

What if this is all

just bullshit?

Guess it's about

that time of year.

- Hey, Cora.

- Allison.

I was in the area, so...

Yeah? Well, I'm fine.

You can cross this off

your guilty conscience list

or whatever it is you do.

- I'm around, you know?

- You're around?

You want to go grab a beer?

How are you, um...

How are you doing?

Existing.

Today, um...

Yeah. I know what today is.

I see how people look at me,

you know?

Probably just don't even know

what to say.

Yeah.

Well, when they

do say something,

I spend the whole conversation

comforting them.

I mean, how does that work?

And then they end it

with some bullshit

they don't even mean.

I swear to God,

if I hear

"We're in this together"

from one more f*cking person...

I miss Mom.

Yeah, I do, too.

But that big house

feels pretty quiet.

Well, I actually

kind of like it.

Just me and my ghost.

Noah loved that house.

You know, she kept

a room for him?

- Yeah, I know.

- Yeah.

I sleep in there sometimes.

Sorry.

I forget how to talk to people.

Look, um...

I'm not going to pretend

that I know what it's like

to live your life.

But, for what it's worth,

it never leaves me.

Not even for a second.

That came pretty close to

"We're in this together."

Hey.

You got to go.

Something wrong?

No, you just...

You just got to go.

Cora, I cannot do

anything to help you unless

you tell me what happened.

Cora, let me help you. Okay?

I really do want to help you.

There was a man.

What?

There was a man.

How could you

Love me, love

What can I get you?

Hey.

Hey. What's up?

I was just in the neighborhood.

I thought I'd grab a bite.

What's... What's good?

Good?

Um, the burgers are safe.

Meat loaf, not so much.

Let's live dangerously.

Meat loaf.

Mm. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

- You can do that?

- What?

Oh, well, I'm off in a few,

and there ain't

nobody here anyway.

What are you,

the waitress police?

You want anything

besides water?

No.

What?

Don't be weird.

It's... your button.

My little girl's favorite movie.

Oh.

It's Noah's, too.

Huh. You know,

there's this theory.

The entire story

was in the dad's mind.

Male clown fish

are known to eat their eggs.

- Hm.

- They'll protect the nest.

Make sure everyone's safe.

Then turn around

and just start...

The theory is that the dad

ate all the kids,

so he never really

even ever had Nemo.

So he goes on this journey,

just...

goes off searching for him

to ease his conscience.

That's dark.

Hey, I...

I really need to thank you.

- Thank me?

- For sharing.

I know that's no small thing,

and it helps people.

We're all alone until

we find out that we're not.

Well, that just

kind of came out.

I mean, I'm glad if it might

have helped somebody,

but my motivation

was not that noble.

It actually means

"nobody" in Latin.

So the movie is actually called

"Finding Nobody"?

Are you okay?

Meat loaf.

No!

You've ruined everything.

- Her clothing get processed?

- Confirmed.

Blood swaps?

Everything's off

to the lab in the a.m.

What about, um, 911 calls,

missing persons reports,

anything like that?

No, nothing.

Who the f*ck's blood

is on you, Cora?

An animal maybe?

- What?

- You saw all that creepy sh*t.

What if it came from

a, I don't know,

goat or something?

Field kits showed

presumptive positive

for human hemoglobin, Detective.

Is she a hype, Sarge?

In her day.

Well, she's got

to be using then.

Maybe.

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

You stopped coming to group.

Yeah, I think... I'm really

busy right now, so...

Can I come in for one minute?

I don't really

think that that's...

For a minute.

We've all been a little worried.

I'm fine.

- How can we help?

- Okay.

I don't think

I can do it anymore.

Group. It's just...

It's all getting to me

a little bit too much.

Is there any way I can

convince you to come back?

I really appreciate

everything

that you've done for me.

I really, really do.

I mean, it is far more than

anybody else has bothered,

but, uh, I just... I can't do

this anymore.

Any of it.

Cora, how badly do you

want to heal?

How what?

What kind of question is that?

What if I told you...

What if I told you there was

a way to truly heal all of this?

Thank you.

But I am all tapped out

on the self-help.

No, no. I mean really.

Heal it.

Fix it.

What if you could see him again?

Is that supposed to be funny?

I mean, what the f*ck

does that even mean?

Exactly what I just said.

Mm.

Like some metaphysical bullshit?

Like a like a seance

or something?

Something like that.

Okay, um...

I really do appreciate

your concern, but, uh,

I got things that

I got to do, so...

You do?

What do you have to do to?

I don't know. Things.

Real tangible things

that I can touch with my hands

and I can see with my eyes.

Cora, I am offering you

a chance to undo this.

Cora, you know what happened

to me, right?

You know I lost my little girl.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I got her back.

What?

She's alive.

Please. Go.

She's alive.

I got her back.

She's alive and well,

I'm telling you.

- Bye-bye.

- She's alive.

Yeah.

Cora?

What did he mean by that?

That he got his daughter back?

God damn it, Cora.

You got to help me out here.

Why did he say that?

Because it was true.

What was true? That he found

his daughter somewhere?

No. No. He brought her back.

Back? From where?

f*ck. I don't know.

Where do you go when you die?

Jesus Christ.

I'm telling you, you don't

know every f*cking thing.

Yeah, well, let me tell you

what I do know.

I know that

that little girl is dead

because I saw them pull her

lifeless body out of the water.

Mill County got the guy, Cora.

It was some carny

out of Sioux Falls.

I mean, full confession,

physical evidence.

And did I mention a body?

She is alive.

They changed her last name

to the ex-wife's,

and they moved to some

richy bitch part of Boston.

Alive and well.

I'm f*cking telling you.

Becky or Beverly or some sh*t.

Go look it up

on your back computer.

Jesus.

Tell me.

I'd feel better if...

No. Right here.

When they...

found... when they pulled her

from the water,

she was...

you know...

the...

Fish had gotten to her.

She'd been down there a while.

She was still so beautiful.

So beautiful.

It was not long after that

when, uh...

a woman came to find me.

She was... I still don't know.

But she started to tell me

these things.

She told me

what I'm telling you.

There is a way to get them back.

Back from where?

Wherever it is they go.

I'm going to get in your truck.

But only because I'm cold.

But if it gets weird...

Just don't be weird.

It's a ritual.

- Like a seance?

- No.

It's like a ritual.

It's old, like Mesopotamian

or something.

I swear on my life

that I did this.

I did this, and it worked.

Look, you know what

happened to her.

Everybody around here knows.

They just know.

The same way they

know your story.

But you know she's alive,

don't you?

You wouldn't be here.

Hello?

Uh, yeah. No, I'm sorry.

She's passed.

Yeah. This is your daughter.

No, the other one.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right.

What the f*ck am I doing?

Where, oh, where

could the little boy be?

The monster mom

needs tickles to live

- Boo!

- Oh!

I found you, Mr. Magoo.

Oh, that tickles!

Yeah. She left me.

I know.

Yeah. A long time ago.

Right when Nolan went missing.

Noah.

Oh, yeah. Well... yeah, right.

You're served.

The f*ck?

You stay away from her house.

I'll go where the f*ck I want.

Yeah, well, that

paper says otherwise.

100 yards.

You have a nice day.

Hey!

Hey, how's it feel to know that

you're just shitty at your job?

I mean, you did...

You did find his, um,

his shoe, though, right?

So you got that going for you.

You didn't completely

go home empty handed,

but then you just

sort of gave up.

I mean, who does that?

Who... who gives up

on a missing kid?

And may... Maybe it was

just too tough.

You know, tough case.

Too tough for a lady cop.

I'm a feminist.

You know, I'm all for...

I'm on your side.

I want to get you up there

on top and on the bottom

and down on your knees,

rolling around.

What's up, lady cop?

You forget something?

Well, you got a syringe

sticking out of

your pocket, Wyatt.

f*ck my life.

What about any weapons?

You got any weapons

in the trailer

that I need to worry about?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't even think about it.

Hey. Hey.

You stay away from Cora.

You understand me?

If she's looking for an excuse.

Just say it.

Yeah, big sister to the rescue?

Say it.

Yeah. I got to stay away.

You want to pick that up?

Go ahead.

I gave you permission.

That paper says 100 yards.

But I want you to pretend

it says 100 miles.

Can you say that for me?

Hundred miles.

Good boy.

His name is Noah, piece of sh*t.

Any electronics in the house?

Uh, no.

No, like Internet or anything.

I mean, there's one,

like, tiny spot

on the upstairs near the floor

that you can get cell reception.

Okay, good.

No, we don't want any... any

interference, no distraction.

This is...

real pine soap?

Mm-hmm.

And the salt?

Yeah, that's kosher.

Like you told me to.

Good. No, that's good.

Table salt has iodine in it.

It has to be kosher or sea salt.

It's a very specific.

The afterlife is finicky

about its condiments.

Look, I understand

if you're not completely sold

on all of this,

but I need to know right now

how committed that you are.

This... this is very real,

and any deviation...

I didn't mean to offend you

or anything.

I really didn't.

I under-

- I just. I'm sorry.

This is like...

It's all like, you know,

I mean, come on.

There's, like, a damn shackle

bolted to the floor,

for Christ's sake.

Alright, we should just -

We should just call this off.

- What?

- No, this cannot

be done half way!

No, no!

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I... I'm... sorry.

I'm sorry, I...

Listen, I agreed to this,

and... and you're right.

I'll do whatever it is

that you tell me I need to do.

And I'm sorry.

Truly.

This is going

to be very painful.

I cannot stress that enough.

It is something

that you have never known.

Okay.

We're gonna need

to get you clean.

- Salt bath thing.

- Yeah.

Hey, Cora.

Yeah?

I'm not coming in. Are you...

Are you in the bath?

I am.

I forgot to tell you

about the salt.

So the salt creates

a protective layer.

But also... it also absorbs

negative energy.

That's great. Thank you.

Okay, so once you once

you soak in it,

you're going to scrub with it

like I showed you,

and then rinse with clean water.

All those impurities

will go down the drain.

Awesome.

Okay. You got it?

I got it. Thank you.

I'll be downstairs.

Make yourself at home.

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Why is there so much sadness

in your eyes?

- Is there?

- Yeah.

Yeah, there is,

and I can see it, but I just,

I can't figure it out.

I mean, you got her back, right?

You thought you lost her,

but you got her back.

No strings.

You know I haven't

seen her, right?

What?

Are you serious?

I just have some...

thing to take care of

before I go.

She's safe with her mother.

I'll go out there

and visit her as soon as I

get everything squared away.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?

It's for your protection.

My protection?

What does that mean?

Wait, you never told me that

this f*cking thing was for me.

You're only going

to need this for today.

After this, it won't be

necessary, I promise.

You have to remember

everything you're going through,

I have done.

This is...

This is just how it works.

You either trust

me or you don't.

Too tight?

Um, I don't know. It's...

No, it's great.

Look, this part is the most

physically demanding of you.

Especially because you're

so malnourished

and probably, you know...

But it was very important,

critical to get all those

impurities out of your system.

You did exactly

what you needed to do, okay?

Great. Can we just,

like, get the show

on the road here and tell me

what I have to do?

Nothing.

Don't do anything.

You just stand there.

Just be open.

Repeat the rite exactly

as I say it.

And... and no sitting.

Stand only. It's very important.

I got it. I got it. Let's go.

That's important.

I get it.

We come of our own accord.

We come of our own accord.

We seek only that which

is made available to us.

We seek only that which

is made available to us.

We reject the natural order

and remove ourselves

from the spiritual covering...

of life

We reject the natural order

and remove ourselves

from the spiritual

covering of life.

Can we stop?

I need to stop.

Abel, I want to stop.

I need some water.

Hey!

Come on. What the f*ck?

This is bullshit.

Nothing's happening.

Abel, I'm going to take

this off right f*cking now.

God damn it, I'm not playing!

I'm going to take this off!

What the f*ck?!

I swear to God, Abel,

if you don't...

Yes.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, God!

Oh, holy f*ck!

- Are you okay?

- Oh, Jesus!

- Yes.

- What was that?!

What was that?

I was floating.

I was floating in the air!

Oh, my God.

No, no, no, no, no.

I felt it. I felt it.

It was like an energy

in my chest.

Oh, my God. This is real.

I'm going to hold my baby again.

I'm going to hold

my baby boy again!

We seek to bring the dead

back to the living.

We seek to bring the dead

back to the living.

Has he come for you?

We say come. We say come.

It's fine. All right.

You're here with me.

You're safe.

No, I'm not safe.

- Yes, you are.

- We are not safe.

- Okay, look at me.

- Not safe, not safe.

Honey, just look at me.

There we go. It's okay.

It was like a daylight

just shut off.

Like somebody flipped a switch.

- Okay.

- No.

Okay.

No, we have to go back.

We have to go back.

It was like we invited...

There is an order, and we have

to follow the order.

But...

But what?

No. Get the f*ck out of here.

That's the first thing

you're going to say to me?

Hey, Wyatt, the restraining

order is still good.

I renew it every f*cking year.

God, Cora, come on.

Answer's still the same.

I got nothing for you, okay?

I got no money, no nothing.

So get the f*ck off my porch.

You don't even know

what I was here for.

All right, you know,

I'm going to call the cops.

f*ck. We both know your phone

don't work for sh*t out here.

Holy sh*t, Cora.

I thought he was

a church going girl.

Clutched my pearls.

Unless that's your daddy.

Okay, Abel, it's fine.

I got this.

Huh? Oh, your daddy

k*lled himself.

Hey, man.

Hey, don't I know you?

No, man, I don't think you do.

No, yeah. Oh, sh*t. My bad.

You... your face

was all over my TV for

I don't know how long, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah. f*ck it.

Local celebrity pulling

that girl out of the gorge.

Hey, shut up! Shut the f*ck up.

You can't be here.

I can be anywhere the f*ck

I want to be, little lady.

You f*cking her, Abel, huh?

Yeah? Are you able, Abel?

Okay. Well, she asked you

to leave, so...

You know what? It's okay.

Really. He's nothing.

He's just a strung out

piece of sh*t.

Pot and kettle, Cora.

Pot and f*cking kettle.

Your, um, your new man friend,

he, uh,

he really know you, like,

really know you?

Like all those dicks

you sucked for dope.

- Ah!

- Hey. Hey, man.

Hey, man!

What?

What the f*ck are you

going to do with that?

I'm going to take it

upside your f*cking head

if I have to

Hey, no. Hey. f*ck.

I'm going.

You know, you two

deserve each other.

We're f*cking

Parents in the World Club.

- Leave!

- I'm going!

Man, you guys probably just,

like, holding each other

after doing it,

and you're just like,

"Oh, I'm the worst parent,

no, I'm the worst parent.

No, baby, you did your best."

And you're like, "Well, your

best ain't f*cking good enough.

Well, I lost my kid.

My kid fell down

a f*cking hole in the earth.

How the f*ck are you

going to deal with that?

Well, I just gave up

on my f*cking kid.

Yeah, that's pretty bad.

Well, you know, it's even worse.

I don't even..."

I'm really sorry, Abel.

That is not your fault.

That's really nice and all,

but, uh...

I shouldn't let other people pay

for my shitty life choices.

Are you sure you're ready

to do this today?

What?

Wyatt f*cked up everything

good in my life.

And he is not taking this

from me, too.

I can't come up with the words

to explain to you

how difficult today will be.

We go on.

We come of our own accord,

and we do what we will,

not what we are told.

We come of our own accord,

and we do what we will,

not what we are told.

Today...

we ask for grief.

Today we ask for grief.

Grief of the highest order.

Grief of the highest order.

Remittance for that

we wish to receive.

Remittance for that

which we wish to receive.

Shh!

The rules, child.

Lest this be

your last memory of him.

I wasn't drugged.

I saw those places.

I was there.

Look, I...

I'm trying really hard

to just sit here and listen,

but it's really hard

with all the sh*t

that we've been

through with your...

With my what?

Hey, with my what?

With your choices, Cora.

With your piss poor

f*cking choices.

You run away

from everything, you know?

You sabotage whatever

you can't run away from.

You put every f*cking chemical

you can find

in your body, right?

You know, I never even know

what's up or down with you.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry that

I could never live up

to the golden child

bar that you set.

- Oh, f*ck.

- No way.

What do you want me

to f*cking say?

And how many times do you

want me to f*cking say it?

Why didn't you call me?

Oh, so you could tell me

that I was f*cking crazy,

that I was f*cking using,

or whatever the f*ck

you wanted to say?

That sh*t was real. It was real.

And it was the only way.

You weren't going to

bring him home.

Christ.

You got a minute?

Yeah. What's up?

What am I looking at?

Autopsy of the Turner girl

pulled from the gorge last year.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I recognize her.

What's with the school

print out?

From Blanchard Middle School.

In Boston.

Taken last month.

You ready?

No.

How are these things

still here?

My mom had some kind

of sealer put on them,

and I think they're starting

to show their age.

It's going to

show itself today.

Remember, this is a barter.

Not a gift.

Stay in that circle.

If you forget everything else,

remember that.

Stay in.

We're gonna be fine.

We're almost there.

We come of our own accord.

We come of our own accord.

Invitation has been extended.

Invitation has been extended.

Grief endured.

Grief endured.

We now author the symbols

of your arrival.

We now author the symbols

of your arrival.

Come.

Come to us now.

Come.

Come to us now.

From black, from black.

Abel?

You...

This...

Do you not wish to set eyes

on him again?

To once more savor

his innocent scent?

Your boy... Noah.

Yes.

Yes, please.

I'm so sorry.

I'll do anything.

I know you will, child.

I know you will.

Finish what you begun.

How?

I'm all alone.

You have all you need.

Told you. f*cking goat.

Come on, Jones.

It's okay.

It's okay. Come on.

Come.

I've done everything.

Come.

When do I see him?

Come, child.

To the circle.

For the boy.

This is it, Cora.

Day of payment.

Noah? Where's Noah?

Soon.

I'm so sorry, Abel.

Plate.

What is this?

It's just goat.

No. I want to see Noah.

Plate!

f*ck!

Now, first is for flesh.

The second, blood.

The third, bone.

Eat.

- What?

- Eat.

So that Noah's flesh, blood,

and bone can be made whole.

Ah...

I gave my payment

for the gift of life.

I carried the secret

in exchange for my daughter.

He brought back to the living.

And though I did not

see her again,

I consider my payment

just and fair.

- I don't...

- This is the last step, Cora.

Drink so the rite is complete.

When do I see him?

I don't know.

I know that if you drink, Noah

will be alive in the flesh.

That's the accord.

Drink it.

No!

Oh, no.

The woman who bestowed this

gift upon me paid her price!

And I paid mine!

As have countless souls

through millennia.

You made clear this was worth

the toll, so pay yours.

You must carry the...

Shh.

You must carry the seeker to

the next soul who needs it.

It is the way.

It's the only way!

Jesus Christ.

Did you groom me?

- f*ck you.

- In the group. In the group.

Were you just looking

for somebody to pass this

thing on to?

Were you?!

You've ruined everything.

I offered you rebirth.

This is a divine gift.

In return, you took

everything from me.

You robbed me of ever seeing

my little baby girl again

because you can't follow

simple f*cking instructions.

You f*cking deserve this now!

Drink!

Drink it!

f*ck you.

No-o-o-o-o-o!

I am owed.

I will take back the prize.

- No.

- The boy one was suffering

without end.

He will know nothing but pain

and sorrow and despair

till the end of all things.

No. Please.

You can't.

But I can.

There must be something.

I must have a vessel.

The payment is clear.

That is the way.

I can get you a vessel.

I can.

No games, girl.

No games. I can.

I can.

Hey.

Yeah, I know.

I really need

to see you tonight.

No, no, no. Tonight.

Can you score?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey.

Hurry.

Sweet pea?

Sweetie pie?

The f*ck?

Ooh, peek-a-boo.

I see you.

Hey.

I got your sh*t.

And you still got

your clothes on.

Dope ain't free, Cora.

What is this, girl?

I gave you...

This vessel is tainted.

Unclean.

911. What's your emergency?

Um...

Let's, uh...

Let's get her cleaned up.

We're going to get you a shower.

- And then what?

- And then I'm going

to bring you over to Holding

until we can get

all this figured out.

- What's Holding?

- It's quiet there.

Nobody's going to bother you.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I can't be alone.

Please.

You can't leave me alone.

We're going to need

to revisit all this

after you get

a little bit of rest.

No. Hey. Hey.

Get your f*cking hands off me!

What the f*ck?!

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey.

This is not helping.

You need to calm down.

Can you do that? Huh?

I'm going to do everything I can

to figure all this out, okay?

You owe me that, Allison.

You know me.

You know me. Not her.

Okay. She'll stay here.

Just you and me.

Okay?

Come on.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Did her urine come back yet?

Yeah, she's clean.

Nothing on board.

And Wyatt?

Just got off the phone

with his P.O.

Said he's been MIA for weeks.

There's an active warrant.

- Hm.

- Do you think she did him?

No body, no m*rder.

But she's washing somebody's

blood off her in there.

No way to know

till the labs come back.

You're not going to find him.

He's gone.

It took him.

Okay. Okay.

You got to believe me.

Just give me a little bit

of time

to figure all this out, okay?

We really are in this together.

- Don't leave.

- Door.

I won't be long.

You can't leave me

in this f*cking place, Allison!

I mean, what the f*ck?!

You are safe in here. Okay?

This is just how it has to be.

Didn't you hear

a f*cking word that I just said?

You cannot leave me

in here alone.

That thing is coming from me.

It's like I let it out.

Allison, I f*cked the whole

thing up, and I let it out.

I'm not going to let anything

bad happen to you, I promise.

Just try to get some sleep.

I'll be back soon.

I will.

Allison! Allison, no!

It wants me to carry it!

Allison, please!

Allison!

I'm so sorry.

I tried.

Please don't come.

Please. Please don't come.

I'm so sorry. I tried.

Hello?

Anybody?

God damn it!

Can somebody help me?

Hi. Hi, um... hi.

I need, um...

Do you happen to know if Allison

is coming back soon?

Do you think that

I could get your help?

You hurt?

- No.

- Need the restroom?

I think that there might

be something in here with me.

And I need your help.

Please.

No, please don't go!

No, please! I need your help!

Please don't leave me!

I need your help!

Go, child.

Sit.

Let us reason.

Please!

You hold the blood so that

I may be made of flesh.

You endured grief.

Sweet, sweet grief.

Lest we forget, pain.

Let not regret also take

residence within you.

Does not a boy need its mother?

We've come to the end, child.

No sanctuary to be had.

Payment is all that remains.

Take me in.

Deliver me to a broken soul.

The boy...

calls to you.

Found you, Mr. Magoo.

Boo!
