Get the f*** off me, Lance!

[Tina] Get out, a**hole!

[Vivian] Get out of here!

Get the f*** out!

F*** this place and f*** you!

[Vivian] F*** you!

[Tina] You okay?

[Vivian] Yeah, I'm fine.

(eerie music)

[Charles] (PA system)

Everybody to sleeping quarters,

lights out in 10 minutes.

All right, come on.

Right here, right

here right here.

(urinating)

(dramatic sting)

Where's Brian?

Brian!

Brian!

Anybody seen Brian?

[Group] No.

Not since dinner.

Damn it.

Okay, we gotta find him.

Let's go, let's go!

Two teams.

You guys go around the front,

we'll go around the back.

Brian!

(dramatic music)

Anything?

- Have you seen anything?

- No, nothing.

Get everybody inside right now.

(music intensifies)

Oh my God!

[Teri] He's not moving!

(screaming)

Oh my God.

What's going on?

Get inside right

now, ladies, go go!

Oh my God!

Everybody get the

f*** inside right now!

I'm not f***ing around!

Guys, it's Brian.

What's going on?

[Lance] Come on, come on!

What the f*** do

you mean it's Brian?

[Neil] Lance!

Hey!

I'll just be a minute.

[Witches] What's

done cannot be undone.

What the f***?

Jesus Christ.

(thunder booming)

(dramatic music)

Vivian, please help

me, I'm so scared!

What's done cannot be undone.

What's done cannot be undone.

(music intensifies)

(thunder booming)

Vivian, you have to

leave, he'll kill us both,

you have to leave, Vivian!

(mumble) come on, we

need to leave right now.

(mumble) Vivian,

(mumble), oh my God!

(screaming)

Please, please just

let me go, (mumble).

(gagging noises)

(thunder booming)

Hey!

Let me in!

Open the door!

Let me in!

The hell do you want?

The police want to question you.

Why?

Brian's dead.

Oh my God.

I'm gonna lose everything.

What?

They're gonna shut

this place down.

I can't believe it.

After all that hard work...

For nothing.

This play is cursed.

Who killed Jeannette?

Jeannette.

That poor, sweet girl.

You did it, didn't you?

You made me trust

you and I haven't

trusted a man in a

really long time.

You killed her,

you sick bastard!

You have an

overactive imagination.

No, you called me

Jeannette at my audition.

What, were you f***ing her?!

You're not well, Vivian.

I'm gonna call

Doctor Lazarus and

have him come over right now.

Jeannette was murdered!

No she wasn't, she ran away.

You said no one

could escape from here!

Well she did.

Liar!

You are not telling

me everything!

My whole world ended that day.

No!

No, that is not

possible, that is not

possible, that is not possible!

For a long time I just

went through the motions.

This year felt

different, I felt alive.

I thought I could

finally exorcise

my demons and maybe help

your exorcise yours.

No, no, Roddy is not dead!

He is not, I saw him

and I talked to him

and he was there, he was

there at the bus stop,

and he was there at the theater,

you are lying, you are lying!

What are you talking about?!

You are lying!

My boy is dead!

He's dead!

- No he's not, no!

He killed himself.

No, no, no, no, no.

I cut him from

the rafters myself.

He's dead.

No, no he's not!

He's...

He's right there,

he's right there!

He killed Jeannette.

I loved Jeannette.

She loved him.

You all fall in love with him.

No.

(sobs) I tried to breathe life

into him, but I

couldn't save him.

(sobs) No, I...

(sobbing)

I couldn't save him.

[Roddy] Goodbye, father.

(suspenseful music)

[Witches] Is this a

dagger I see before me?

A dagger, a dagger.

Come, let me clutch thee.

(music intensifies)

Okay, no no no, why

won't you f***ing work?

What's wrong with me, Vivian?

I just want to

love a pretty girl.

But you all fall

for him, my dad.

Oh my God, I don't

love your f***ing dad!

You shut up!

Don't you lie to me.

It's too late for that.

You're just like

Jeannette, aren't you?

I have a lot to offer.

I mean I'm just as

good as Lawrence,

all I ever needed was a chance.

Then let Jeannette go.

Roddy, just stop,

just stop killing her.

You keep playing the tape!

You're making me kill her!

Now it's your turn.

Vivian, I can kill you here

or in my world with Jeannette.

The choice is yours.

What's done cannot be undone.

No!

Damn you!

(thunder booming)

Jeannette?

Vivian, he's coming!

(shrieking)

(coughing)

Why won't you love me?!

You're just like her!

Why won't you love me?!

Why?!

Why?!

(clenched screaming)

Ahhh!

(gagging)

(angelic choir music)

Charles, I found her,

she's on the stage!

Vivian!

George, call 911!

Vivian?

(police radio feed)

Twice in one day?

What the hell is

going on around here?

I don't know, I...

Is she taking any medication?

Yes, but under supervision.

Have you been drinking, sir?

A little, yeah, why?

Okay, we're gonna

have to forget

about tomorrow's sit

down, Mr. O'Neil.

You need to come to

the station right now.

Nobody leaves!

I want a statement

from everybody,

lock this place down now!

Detective, we

have a video camera.

[Jones] I don't know, tag it.

Whoa whoa whoa,

who are you?

I'm Vivian's doctor.

What are you treating her for?

PTSD.

She's been severely

abused for years.

My God, was she attacked?

[EMT] I've done

a rapid trauma exam

and found no severe

lacerations on her body.

She's unconscious, but

her vitals are stable.

[Jones] Doctor, please, I

need to ask you a few questions.

I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault.

I gotta go.

(dramatic music)

(heart monitor beeping)

[Charles] Candace Malone.

[Candace] Here, sir.

[Charles] Natasha Gloden.

[Natasha] Here, sir.

Franklin Lee?

[Franklin] Here, sir.

[Charles] Theater Owner and

Camp Coordinator

Lawrence O'Neil.

Good morning.

Welcome to The Barn Theater.

My name is Lawrence O'Neil.

Because you've earned enough

points for good behavior

from the camps you were

at, we were able to

strike a deal with the

courts and your probation...

We're just going through

the tape again one more time.

I don't know, I just don't

think there's anything on it.

Okay, bye.

Anything?

[Taylor] Just static.

[Jones] It's a cold case then.

[Taylor] Yes, sir.

(dramatic sting)

(thunder booming)

(soft piano music)

When the night speaks

far in the corridor

Sleep, the wind,

lullaby baby dear

Here in the dark, this lullaby

La la la, la la la

La la la, la la la

La la la, la la la

La la

(electronic synthesizer music)

Memories burn, bruises fade

I want to purge

all possessions

It's hard to clean up messes

And if we lose all connections

Will you hold on to me sweetly

On to me sweetly

I can make room

for this moment
