Darkness Page #4

In all times

and in all cultures.

An irrational fear:

The fear of the dark.

I think I might take a nap.

I'm eshausted.

Sounds like a good idea.

And now,

we are almost ready.

After so many years.

What are you talking about?

About darkness, my dear,

the true darkness.

A kind of evil

in its greatest form.

Pure...

and alive.

And now,

the moment has arrived.

Finally

be born.

Dirty

and perverted.

Don't try so hard,

Regina.

The game has already begun.

The countdown has already begun.

We're getting closer to the moment

When the sun and the moon aligned

submerges for a few moments

in darkness.

Why?

Why?

Because it's a question

of faith.

We are our origin.

And our origin is that.

Evil, disorder...

We discovered

the spell

to get it back.

The egg temple

and seven children's throats cut

by loving hands.

And the eclipse of course.

It's just an experiment.

I'm a doctor.

Do you know what the ancients

called it?

"The great liar."

- Where's Regina?

- She's here. Come in.

Thank goodness you came.

I didn't know what to do.

Hey. What's going on here?

Do you know what's going on here?

What's going on

is that you have f***ed up.

I don't know why everyone is trying

to ruin this moment for me.

Once begun

no one can stop it.

There is no way back.

Everything was perfect.

We were seven.

We had built the temple.

And waited for the eclipse.

Each one with his child.

But at the last minute

it fell apart.

I'm the only one left.

The only one who has survived

all these years.

Ironic, isn't it?

Because it was my fault.

I had to let my son escape.

I couldn't do it.

Mom!

Yes, Paul.

Can I have a glass of water?

Mom.

Please, just go away.

You loved him.

Let me go.

We can still stop it.

The rules of the game

are very clear.

Seven children's throats cut

by hands which love them.

Go away?

You want me to go away.

What the hell

are you talking about?

This is my house.

Open the f***ing door!

Now!

The last minute

I realized it wouldn't work,

because, honestly,

I didn't love him.

Mark?

Please, just go away.

Paul doesn't have any thing

to do with this.

You haven't understood anything,

have you?

It's not Paul,

you idiot.

It's your father.

What?

It has to be the same child.

Mark, just leave us alone.

Open this f***ing door!

Mark!

Mark, you're sick.

You're not taking your medicine,

that's why you're sick.

No!

Liar! That's a lie!

Please, Mark, go.

- Can't you see you're sick?

- Mom...

It wasn't dad.

He didn't hit me.

It's impossible.

It'll never happen.

Darkness

is very wise.

Knows very well

what a mother

is capable of doing

to protect her young.

Mark, enough!

This is my toy.

A snake,

and something about

to be born.

It sounds familiar, doesn't it?

It'll never happen.

I saw it in the book.

The throat has

to be cut...

and my mother wouldn't do that.

It's impossible.

Have faith, Regina.

Darkness knows a great deal.

Okay. Here's my medication.

Mark.

What are you doing?

Here are the goddamn pills.

Daddy.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

I love you.

So much.

Run.

You don't have much time.

Run!

It's your turn.

Answer me!

Pills. F***ing pills.

You want me to take pills...

What's going on?

Paul,

go get a pen. I've got to open him up

or he's going to die.

Go!

Paul, hurry!

Paul, you should just go up

to your room and don't look.

Just go, now!

Mom, no!

What are you doing?

He needs air.

I gotta open his throat.

Get out of my way. Don't you

understand that's what it wants?

Your father is dying.

I gotta open his throat,

let him breathe.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

Give it to me. I'll do it.

Just tell me what to do.

A clean cut just

under the Adam's apple.

Quickly.

Mom!

Now get the tube.

Put it in his throat.

What tube? What tube?

- It's here.

- Mom!

Where is it?

Mom!

Where?

Mom!

It's too late.

Mom!

It's over.

The seventh child

is dead.

Where's...

Regina?

In her house.

In hell.

Where's the flashlight?

Where is it?

Mom, we have to get out of here.

Where's Paul?

- Where is he? Where is he?

- Upstairs.

- Regina!

- Paul!

I'm scared.

Paul, I'm coming.

Regina!

Come with me.

It's tricking us.

It's trying to fool us.

It's a liar.

We're gonna get out

of here right now.

Mom?

Don't be afraid.

We can end this.

It's just a question

of not being afraid.

- He's dead.

- No, he's not.

I want Daddy back, Mommy.

We can save him.

You just have to turn off

the burners.

It's the only way to fight

the darkness.

We don't have much time left.

You have to trust me, Regina.

What are you saying?

For once in your life,

you'll just have to trust me.

No.

Turn the light off.

Turn them off.

You can save him.

- Please, Mom.

- I don't understand.

You're a liar.

Turn it off.

You're not my mother.

Turn them off.

Do it for Dad.

Mom?

Mom!

Where is Mom?

She's not here.

Don't look.

We gotta get out of here.

Come on.

We gotta get out of here.

Try the window.

We'll try the window.

Come on. Stand back.

Come on, we have to get out

right now. Come on, jump.

Come on!

- Come in.

- Get in the car right now, honey.

It's gonna be okay.

Are we going back to the States?

Yeah.

Come on up. I want you

to see something.

You're gonna love it.

It's tricking us.

It's a liar.

It's over, Paul.

No.
