This will help you

control your anxiety.

You know I heard about Vince.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

Death is just part

of who we are.

We must know to accept it.

The spirit is strong within you.

You are the ideal sacrifice.

For centuries Shapishico

has claimed many lives.

You must confront it.

Let it settle with you.

And concentrate.

Turn your thoughts within.

Within, you will find the truth.

And with that truth,

you can fight the evil.

Do you know where Michael is?

I need to talk to him.

Or you can talk

to him tonight...

At the party.

You know I can't believe

you're still having the party.

It's what Vince

would've wanted.

Come on, Danny. I've done this

a million times, you'll be fine.

- I'm scared.

- I'm not going down with you!

Either you jump

or you go down by yourself.

Jump!

No!

Come on!

No!

Jump!

Danny! Danny!

There is a very dark

force inside you.

It's a spirit that would

infect the bodies of men...

Latching to their own suffering

until it destroyed them.

What you are seeing

is not your brother.

You're not Danny.

You're not my brother.

You're not Danny.

You're not my brother!

You're not Danny!

You're not my brother!

Shapishico was in me

when I pushed Danny.

No, wait. The force is more

powerful than I imagined.

Don't go! We must

finish the ritual!

Wait!

It's in me.

Hector?

What?

Hector?

Hector!

Hector...

No... Hector.

Jacob.

Michael!

Melody, where are you?

All the children in

this wing were born here.

I think the doctors,

they f***ed them up.

It makes everything worse.

- Everyone died?

- Not everyone.

So they got out

on their own terms.

Your eyes are open for the first

time and the light is blinding.

Home. It has a way

of calling us back.

You're living in

a f***ing bubble...

And it's about

time it is popped.

Michael, come with me.

Welcome home.

Goodbye, Michael.

Michael, Michael...

What's wrong with you.

Are you okay?

All this time...

All this time all these things

I've been seeing, they're not...

They're not hallucinations.

They're memories.

I was born here...

In this hospital.

What are you talking

about, Michael?

Jacob was too.

We were raised here.

Michael, you're scaring me.

What's going on with you?

The doctors, they gave us yag.

They must have.

We are both infected.

Goodbye, Michael.

It's Jacob. He killed my friend

Hector, we have to leave right now.

No, wait a minute.

I'm not going with you.

Melody, you have to trust me.

I promise I'll tell

you everything,

but right now we don't have

time, we have to leave now.

These doors are never locked.

It's the ritual.

Come on!

Michael!

Michael!

- Melody!

- Michael! Michael!

- Melody!

Melody!

Let go!

Melody!

Welcome home, Michael.

It's glad to have you back.

Let me go!

Back off! Back off!

I'll let her go,

I'll let her go.

Okay?

F*** you!

Shut up.

See, melody, I need you... Because

Michael has to do something for me,

and I don't think he is going to go

through with it unless I have this.

I know what you're doing.

I know why I'm here.

I remember everything.

You have no idea how badly

I've been wanting to tell you.

It's truly been killing me.

What happened to us...

What they did to us...

Was wrong.

No.

It was a gift.

You hid from it, I embraced it.

It's always been there, Michael,

hiding... behind your eyes.

We're the same.

I'm not a killer.

Really?

And what would your

brother say about that?

I want to ask you something

Michael, did he scream?

Did you watch

him tumble, Michael?

Did that feel powerful?

You felt the strength, Michael.

You felt the strength

of generations.

Mauricio's sacrifice was

the start a new generation.

We survived

because we were strong,

and it's greater in us than it

has been in anyone before.

We have a chance

to finish what he started!

Nobody else has to die.

- We all have to die.

- Jacob, please.

Everyone dies! Back off.

Do you want me to cut her?

You see, Michael?

Tonight everyone down there has

Blackstar running through their veins.

It's a yag derivative,

an ancient drug with

21st century distribution.

Everything you've been through has

been leading you to this moment.

I've been preparing you.

Ready to die?

It can stop here.

You don't have to do this.

- No.

See, it has to be one of us,

and I'd prefer it if it was you.

I think if you came here for

little melody, then perhaps...

You'll die for her.

So I want you

to jump off the roof.

Sacrifice yourself.

You can die

just like your brother.

No, no, no...

Shh!

Yeah?

Come here.

This is why you're here.

Huh? Come on.

Let's go.

Who's the tough guy now?

You're going to be fine,

okay, Michael?

Hang on, okay?

I'm taking you to

the hospital, okay?

Then we can go wherever

you want, Michael.

Please stay with me.

Just hang on with me, Michael.

Can you hear me?

Listen to me.

Where do you

want to go, Michael?

Where do you want to go?

Home.

The old people said

that sadness creates

a hole in our hearts...

And that the spirit

of Shapishico will fill it.

It drives us into madness...

Whispering in our ears

until we sacrifice ourselves...

To set the spirit free.

Ready to die.

And it spreads like a sickness.
