[bunniefuu]

Help!

No! Please, no!

Please, no!

It will joy

and comfort give you

Take it then

wherever you go

-Precious name

-Precious name

-Oh, how sweet

-Oh, how sweet

Hope of Earth

and joy of Heav'n

-Precious name

-Precious name

-Oh, how sweet

-Oh, how sweet

Hope of Earth

and joy of Heav'n...

That's beautiful. What is it?

Sarah's favorite.

She'd climb up

on the dining room table

and sing that hymn

every time we had guests.

Oh.

Here you are.

Oh, thank you.

Julia.

Right.

Um, are those my keys?

No.

Evelyn.

I keep mace on there.

They're mine.

No.

I wouldn't want you

hurting yourself.

What?

Evelyn, please.

Thank you.

Why do you carry mace?

Um, I live alone, so.

But you live with me now.

It's getting late.

We should get you to bed soon.

I'll just check your

blood pressure first, okay?

Okay.

I want you

to put your hand right here.

Hm.

Is that comfortable?

So, is Sarah your daughter?

You know, we never locked

our doors when we were young.

We had no need to.

That must've been nice.

It was nice.

We'd be out all day,

wandering.

Come home in the evening

and our parents never worried.

Maybe they did.

Maybe you just didn't notice.

Maybe.

Okay.

Am I okay?

Yeah. 116 over 75.

You're good.

Hmm.

Just hold on.

Okay.

Good.

There's a storm coming.

Yeah.

I was supposed

to fix your room.

Oh, it's fine.

My room was made up.

Thank you.

Are you done?

Yes.

Okay. That smells nice.

Mm-hmm.

Did we uh,

did I show you around?

I have everything I need.

Thank you.

All right. Hmm.

I forget sometimes.

How are you feeling?

Like hell.

Well, I'll be right

in the next room

if you need anything.

Thank you. Uh...

Julia.

Yes, Julia,

and I'm so sorry.

No. No apologies.

It's fine.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Sarah.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray for all

the souls I keep.

sh*t!

Uh, sh*t.

Hi, Dad.

No, I'm not ignoring you.

I'm working.

No, Dad,

I told you I probably--

I'm not gonna make it.

I'm not avoiding it.

It's just,

I-- I just got this job.

I can't leave a few days in.

I don't know.

I can't believe

you're asking this.

Dad, I don't know.

Ew.

No, never mind.

I said I don't know,

because it's not

that kind of job.

It could be a few days,

a few weeks.

Of course, I miss her.

What kind of question is that?

Yeah, I get it, but...

Well, what does it matter?

No one's seen me there

in years.

Uh, Dad, come on.

I don't go anymore.

You know that.

Well, what difference

does it make?

It doesn't change anything.

Mom knew I loved her!

Dad? Dad?

Listen, I need to go,

so I'll call you again tomorrow

and we can talk

about this then, okay?

Yes, I promise.

Okay.

I love you, too.

Okay, bye.

Jesus.

Like, what is not clear about,

I'll call you to--

What are you doing

in my house?

Evelyn?

How do you know my name?

I'm your nurse.

I just helped you to bed.

We spoke about Sarah,

your daughter.

How about you

give me that, yeah?

Let's put it back

by the fireplace.

What do you think?

Yeah? Please.

Did you paint that?

Yes.

Very talented.

I'm quite terrible.

You're an artist?

Nothing serious.

Are those yours, too?

Mm-hmm.

I'd love to see

your other paintings.

-You can hold onto that

if it makes you feel better.

-Mm-hmm.

Is that okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Go first.

Right. Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Wow.

I love the-- the detail

on this one.

Mm.

You have a real eye for color.

The way they

contrast each other.

I would've never guessed

these go together, but they do.

My mom taught me everything.

She had an eye like you do.

Is this you?

Long time ago.

And that's your family?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Anthropology.

That's the study

of culture, right?

Art and rituals,

and things like that?

Oh, Randall gave me that

for our first anniversary.

He got it at a, uh,

an art supply store

and then he buried it

at our picnic spot.

Is Randall the guy in the photo?

Yeah. He-- he painted, too,

but he took this photograph

of me just before our wedding.

That's the biggest smile

I've ever seen.

Yeah.

He must've been very special.

We were happy.

Hey, it's getting late.

How about we get back,

we get you back to bed?

I'll put this back.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Julia?

Yeah.

You okay?

Watch your step.

Here we are.

There you go.

Oh.

Thank you, Julia.

What happened to your hands?

Oh.

Oh, nothing.

Just old scars.

Hmm.

That is one gorgeous necklace.

Oh, why thank you.

It was my mother's.

Is that gold?

Um, I think so, yeah.

What a lovely piece.

Oh, my.

Do you think

you could help me down?

Of course.

That's it. There we go.

Oh, my.

Ooh, you know,

all my bones creak.

Okay.

Ooh.

Hmm, pray with me.

Pardon?

Pray with me.

I used to think that

prayer was ridiculous, too,

before Sarah,

but somehow asking

an all-powerful being

for something seems arrogant.

Hmm.

But there is grace

in supplication.

Hmm?

I don't really pray

to God anymore.

Who said anything about God?

Thank you, dear.

Now clasp your hands.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

Go on.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray for all the souls I keep.

If I should die

before I wake,

I pray the souls

another body will take.

If I should live

for a few more days,

I pray my keeper

to guide my ways.

In my name,

I pray,

I pray,

I pray.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray for all

of the souls I keep.

If I should die

before I wake,

I pray the souls

another body will take.

If I should live

for a few more days,

I pray my keeper

to guide my way.

Okay.

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, I'll just...

Later.

Not bad.

That's cute.

That's gross.

Color contrast, my a*s.

You're one dark lady.

Yeah, you're okay.

Weird.

Evelyn? Are you up again?

Can I help you?

Is Evelyn home?

Sorry, who are you?

Randall.

You're Julia, right?

Your agency put us in touch.

Yeah, yeah.

Of course, hi.

Come in.

You're Evelyn's husband.

Well, not for a long time now.

Oh.

Is she up?

I just put her to bed.

I hope she's awake.

I drove a long way out.

She should be.

She was just praying, so...

Evie, praying?

Yeah.

Did you-- did you hit the storm

on the way here?

No, I came

from the other direction.

I hope it doesn't get too bad.

How is she doing?

Uh, it's been

a pretty rough night.

She's been kind of in and out.

She spoke about you, though.

Is something wrong?

No.

Uh, no. It's just,

I haven't seen this one

in a long time.

There she is.

Randall?

Hey, Evie.

Huh.

You got old.

Yeah, they say that happens.

You're still as lovely as ever.

And you're still full of sh*t.

I've missed you.

I know.

Is Earl here with you?

My brother died 12 years ago.

You went to the funeral.

I did?

It's okay.

None of us are

what we used to be, right?

And Marlene?

She left me.

That's been

a long time now, too.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

No, I'm not.

How long are you staying?

As long as I need to.

You have help now,

so you don't need to worry

about anything.

You have been thinking

about her.

Every day.

Me too.

So why are you here?

Where did you find

this inscription?

Why didn't you wait

for me to get back?

We could've discussed it,

figured out something together.

Where is it, Evelyn?

I know you have it.

No.

Nobody else knows

where we buried it.

No. No.

-Why would you take it?

-No.

If it's for this,

you know what can happen.

- Where is it?

- Hey.

Go away.

I'm trying to protect you!

-No.

-Hey! Don't touch her.

Leave me, leave me,

leave me alone.

Go away.

You need to leave.

Now.

Make him go. Make him go.

Okay.

Make sure he leaves.

I promise.

I don't wanna see him.

If you don't get out

of this house in 30 seconds,

I'm calling the police.

I don't care who you are.

You have no idea

what's going on here.

Yeah.

It's gonna be okay, all right?

Please, please get rid of him.

I never wanna see him again.

All right, just--

just calm down.

I'll be right back.

Where are you hiding it?

Hey! Get out!

Just leave!

Watch yourself.

Evelyn, what are you doing?

It's freezing.

I wanna be out here

when I pass.

Let's not talk about

that. You've still got time.

Why would anyone

want a job like this?

Why would you want to

watch someone die?

Because no one

should have to die alone.

We all die alone.

What was that all

about up there?

Oh, we don't agree on things.

We never did, really.

I tried to get him

to understand

but he-- he blames me.

What happened to Sarah?

Oh, Sarah.

I miss her so much.

Can't hide from our past.

Sometimes we have

to confront it and accept it.

Is everything okay?

I'm going to be sick.

Come on,

let's go inside.

Oh, dear. Come here.

Ugh, oh, I'm so sorry.

No, it's okay. It's fine.

Let's get you cleaned up, okay?

I'll find you a blanket.

All right.

Evelyn?

Oh, my... Evelyn?

Evelyn, what are you doing?

Stop that, please.

Evelyn!

Stop.

Eve--

Jesus Christ.

It's not working.

The song will work.

It always works.

Brush my hair.

What the f*ck is this?

Sure, my love.

It don't feel so good.

My tummy hurts.

Do you want me

to rub your tummy?

Mom?

What is it?

Why do you have that?

Oh, this?

Are you taping me?

- I...

- Where the f*ck am I?

I was-- I was worried about you

and wanted to record

any changes.

Changes?

Sorry, I should've asked you.

I'll turn it off.

Is it off?

Yes.

Don't ever do that again!

sh*t.

Sarah?

Get out!

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Oh, my God, Evelyn,

what did you do?

What the hell?

What is this?

Hello?

What... What is...

What the f*ck?

Is there a back door?

I think I can open it.

Pete!

Go check upstairs.

Sh-- sh*t.

Oh!

Office is clear.

Kitchen's clear.

Evelyn, where are you?

I just want to talk!

Okay.

Hey.

Oh, f*ck! Oh!

Calm down.

Where do I go?

Where the f*ck do I go?

sh*t!

Okay, okay.

Just find something.

There's gotta be something

in here.

Okay. Find scissors.

Okay.

sh*t.

f*cking...

f*cking sh*t!

She blinded me, man.

Yeah, well.

- I'm scared.

- Quiet!

It f*cking burns!

Hey, man up!

You grab him.

I can't look

for anyone right now.

Hey, shut up. All right?

Just be quiet.

We just want to talk.

We're running out of time.

Give me a minute.

Go downstairs.

I'm not gonna hurt anybody.

Can we talk?

I'd like to explain.

Stay away!

This is not how

I wanted this to go.

How did you

want this to go?

This is a misunderstanding.

Just leave us alone!

You can stay in there

if it makes you feel better.

It does.

Evelyn's in trouble.

Where is she?

I don't know!

And I wouldn't tell you

if I did.

Is she still in the house?

What the f*ck did I just say?

Nothing I can tell you will

make you believe me.

Hell, I didn't believe it myself

and I lived through it.

Through what?

We had a child.

She died because

we couldn't protect her.

That's a lie.

We could've protected her,

but we got careless.

We thought we knew better

and it destroyed us.

Evelyn never forgave herself

and...

And what?

She was my first love,

you know?

Randall, we got her!

Just leave her alone!

I'm sorry.

This is for your own good.

Let me out!

Randall, Peter, we got her.

Calm down.

Get out of my house!

Take a deep breath.

Calm down.

Don't touch me.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Of course, it's you.

Stay away.

Peter, give her some space.

Evelyn, put that down.

You shouldn't be touching that.

Please, hand it over, Evie.

Let me take it off your hands.

I just want to put it

someplace safe.

There is no place safe.

It was safe until you started

messing with it.

Why, Evie?

Because I miss her!

I'm sorry about

the way things turned out.

Yeah, you left me

right after she died

when I needed you the most.

What do you want me to say?

That I couldn't face you after?

That the-- the guilt

ate me up inside?

I got it wrong and I've had

to live with that.

But I can do it right this time.

I know how. Trust me.

Trust you?

That's what got her k*lled.

I translated one of the words

that you sent me.

It's an incantation, isn't it?

Tell me!

We can still do the right thing.

That's your weakness, always

wanting to do the right thing,

huh, when there's only pain

and loss and suffering.

This is not going

to bring Sarah back!

Give it to me!

Why?

So you can bury me again?

Who-- who am I talking

to right now?

What have you done with Evelyn?

I wear her like a coat.

Oh, my God.

Let's get outta here.

Oh, let's call the others.

Get out, quick, quick.

Evelyn? Evelyn?

Oh, my God,

what did they do to you?

They're gone now.

Let's get you changed.

Oh, my goodness.

Here we go.

Where are you hurt?

Oh, look at your hand.

What did they do to you?

Okay, let's-- let's sit here.

Yeah, there you go.

-Want to give me that?

-No.

Wash your hands, okay?

Okay. Okay. Here we go.

All right. There you go.

Got this one.

That's great.

Where's your phone?

-In the office.

-Okay.

We'll find it, yeah?

You'll be okay.

Yeah.

Here we are. All right.

Okay, you good?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

-All right. Here we are.

All right.

Let's sit right here.

Where is it?

Okay, great.

For f*ck's sake!

What do they want?

What-- this?

What-- what is it?

Is it worth a lot of money?

This is not--

You should be surrounded

by loved ones,

not by someone like me.

Sarah, if you ever get

to hear this,

your suffering is

because of us.

Too many risks.

Too much contact

with the other side.

We have to bury her.

I'm sorry we put

all this ahead of you.

I'll never expose you

to this again.

What's wrong with us?

Okay. Father, start the prayer.

I'm sorry.

It was meant for--

Stop, stop.

Please don't do this.

I'm sorry.

Is that...

Help me. Mommy!

-...your baby?

-No, mommy, please.

She's not okay.

She will be fine.

Stop! Stop!

She'll look in the box.

What-- what is this?

Look at her!

Help!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

There he is.

Get off!

We've got to bury the de--

Let's get you warmed up.

I brought her to evil.

It's my fault.

-It's all my fault.

-Don't say that.

It's true.

All right. You're okay.

Okay.

No, no. I don't want it.

Okay.

Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.

You feeling better?

This one's nice.

Things happen, Evelyn.

I'm sure you and Randall

were great parents.

You don't know that.

I know I blamed myself

for my mom's death.

I mean, I know,

I didn't make her sick,

but I-- I should've been there

for her, and I-- I just-- I--

I couldn't do it.

It's easier to take care

of strangers.

Hmm.

f*ck's sake.

Just stay here.

I just want to talk!

Please just don't move!

I called the cops!

You need to get

the f*ck outta here now!

Listen to me.

I know it's confusing, but--

but that's not Evelyn in there.

It's something dangerous.

The only dangerous thing here

is you and your psycho friends!

She k*lled Peter!

He's dead because of her!

She didn't k*ll anybody!

She's f*cking old!

Stay the f*ck back!

That little ivory statue

that she has,

you're not safe as long

as that thing is in the house.

The statue is the problem?

It's an anchor, a vessel

for something dark.

It's attached itself to her.

What the f*ck

are you talking about?

It'll k*ll you both!

We can't leave here without--

Okay, fine!

If I get it for you,

will you leave?

Yes.

That's all we want!

Just stay outside.

I'll go get it!

You're doing the right thing.

You think you can

take this from me?

Huh?

For f*ck's sake, Evelyn,

I told you to stay over there!

Put the knife down!

No!

Please, let's talk.

Maybe we can work

something out with them.

Evelyn, everything's

gonna be okay.

You're safe.

Why don't you just give me--

No! No!

Evelyn, stop!

You, stop!

Evelyn, stop.

Where are you?

f*ck.

Evelyn?

Hello?

Hurry up!

Come on.

You're here.

We can still salvage this.

Trust me.

Like Peter did?

What is this?

What are we dealing

with, Randall?

Nothing I can't handle.

What happened?

We were too late.

It's already in her.

We lost Peter,

there was nothing we could do.

We need to get it

into the statue

and back in here.

Randall, this is very dangerous.

It's not because

I'm no longer authorized.

It's--

You remember what happened

last time we tried this?

You're all I've got.

I'm not gonna lose

both of them.

I understand.

Randall, this one,

this one is strong.

Stronger than anything

we ever faced before

and you know it.

-This time is different.

-What's this?

We can destroy it.

We only need one word.

This is an incantation

of the blood of Christ.

Blood of Christ.

Evelyn figured it out.

No more hiding it away.

I can finally make it pay

for everything that it's done.

Send it back to hell

where it belongs.

Hey, if this time

it doesn't work?

We're going through the front.

Stick together, near the back.

Holler if you see her.

Don't do anything

until I'm there.

Go on.

I'm going to fix this.

She's stronger than she looks.

If it goes south,

just run out.

Evelyn, is that you?

Honey, do you know

why you're here?

Why-- why are my hands tied?

- What the hell?

So you don't

hurt yourself again.

Remember last night?

No.

You scratched

until your face bled.

Stop it.

How do you feel?

My tummy really hurts.

I don't feel good.

Do you remember

when we went on the dig?

Do you remember

what school you go to?

No! No!

What do you remember?

No. Mommy!

Sarah?

I pray the soul

is another body to take.

I only remember

that you're a sh*t mother!

Sarah!

Randall!

Oh, my God.

Is that all you've got,

old man?

Hmm?

Stop it!

No!

Look at her!

No!

What have we done?

sh*t.

Evelyn, where have you been?

Why do you have that?

You're scaring me.

Please don't hurt me.

Why are you following me?

I was looking for you.

Where were you?

Do you remember anything?

I remember some things.

I had a dream about my mother,

not long after she passed.

We were making dinner together,

like every other night.

And right in the middle,

she stopped

and said she had to go.

So I ran after her

to say goodbye,

but she kept walking

like she didn't hear me.

So I followed her,

but she was lost,

disappeared into the fog.

How do you know that?

I never told you that.

I never told you that.

Evelyn?

Stop, you're freaking me out.

Jules? Jules.

Mom?

Can you come here, please?

I missed you, mija.

This can't...

The last time I saw you

was at the airport.

We were saying goodbye

and the sunlight

was shining behind you.

- And it was so beautiful.

- You're not my mom.

Oh, Jules,

remember when you were five

and broke your arm?

-Who fed you every meal?

-No. Stop it. Stop it.

Please, stop.

When you were 12 and missed

a month of school

with pneumonia,

who nursed you back to health?

Who cried with you

when your prom date

didn't show up?

-I held you. I comforted you.

-Stop.

I was there for you.

- No puedo...

It's so cold here.

- Stop it.

Please.

Let me see you again.

I said stop it!

Te quiero, mija.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, what is this?

What is this?

Evelyn!

Way too late.

Time's over.

Edgar, hold her!

Please, hear us!

Nobody's listening!

Surrender her! Don't listen.

By the power of God,

surrender her.

You don't stand a chance!

Oh, sh*t. f*ck!

I don't have my keys.

I don't have my keys.

Oh, huh, wait!

Just get your f*cking keys

and get outta here.

Oh, God, thrust into Hell

Satan and all evil spirits

who wander through the world

for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Stupid priest.

Evelyn, stop.

Be careful!

Get outta here!

Evelyn, fight it.

I know you can.

In the name of God, the Father,

Jesus Christ the Son,

and by the power

of the Holy Spirit,

you will obey me,

you foul thing.

God cast you into a pit

of hellfire, into that pit

you shall return.

Oh, I can already

feel her suffering.

Evelyn is stronger

than you will ever be.

That's not

who I'm talking about.

Your daughter

is in eternal t*rture,

because of you.

You failed her, but I,

I can bring her peace.

Don't listen to it.

Leave the flesh

of God's righteous creature

and return to the darkness

from whence you came!

Ah, your souls or hers!

-Little Sarah's blossoming

into a lovely woman.

-Shut your mouth, demon!

Oh, you should be honored

to have made

such a precious sacrifice

for me.

I have them both now,

and Evelyn has given up

her defiance

and replaced it with screams.

It's a sweet symphony!

Evie, fight it.

You're stronger than this thing.

You told me that you

found a way and you did.

But I need your help,

so fight it.

Fight it for her!

Fight it for all of us!

The blood of Christ

seals the cage.

By all that's holy in the power

of the Kingdom of Heaven,

I banish you!

Return to your prison.

Your soul's it is.

Make it stop.

What have you done, Evelyn?

You can't leave.

We need to get you

to a hospital.

Come on, let's get you

to my car.

I can't.

Just try

or you'll bleed to death.

Please, help me save her.

What is wrong with you people?

When this is over, bury it.

What?

When everything is done,

put it in the ground.

It's just like in the basement.

Like, what these?

Yeah.

And then-- and then--

and then,

there were these letters.

E-L-I-M.

Elim.

What does it mean?

We need to hurry.

No. No, please, let me go.

You can't go.

My dad needs me.

Don't let Evelyn die alone.

Come with me.

Listen, a Christian

ritual's satanic,

but if Elim seals the cage,

Satanism names our power.

I can k*ll this thing.

I don't wanna do it.

No, I don't wanna--

I don't wanna do it.

It should be a perfect fit.

Where do we-- wait.

Where are you--

Where are you going?

Just let me leave.

Please.

No!

Julia? Oh, Julia?

Don't be afraid, darling Julia.

Your mother wasn't.

She wasn't afraid to die.

She was heartbroken.

And I know her pain.

You don't know my mother.

I know her suffering.

And soon you'll have yours!

Go away!

Okay.

We're doing...

Where did it go?

Where does it f*cking fit?

What am I supposed to do?

Oh, no, we won't be

needing that anymore.

Tell me, Julia,

would you trade your soul

for hers?

I'm not cutting

any deals with you!

You've abandoned her

like your mother.

The human body is much more fun

than a little statue.

And this one is very tired.

Let her go!

I intend to.

What do you want?

Right now, you!

Sarah doesn't blame you.

It was never your fault.

We did it. We did it.

I'm free.

I think I need a hospital.

Wait, I don't, I don't feel...

What's happening?

I'm sorry.

It has to be this way.

What are you doing?

The only way is if it dies

inside a living vessel.

I have to do it now

while it's weak.

Or before I forget.

Please.

You have been the answer

to all my prayers.

No!

Please, don't k*ll me!

Not again!

No!

Please, stop!

Please, don't!

Please, don't k*ll me!

Help me!

Mommy!

Help! Please, help!

Help! Please, help!

Mommy, please help!

Evelyn, what are you doing?

Help, help!

You cannot bury me again.

Evelyn!

Don't!

Take the name of Jesus

with you

Child of sorrow and of woe

It will joy

and comfort give you

Take it then

wherever you go

-Precious name

-Precious name

-Oh, how sweet

-Oh, how sweet

Hope of Earth

and joy of Heav'n...
