Devil's Due Page #5

- MASON:
We're the sweetest.

- EMILY:
We're so cute.

How's Sam?

I don't know, I haven't been

up there since she went up.

Honestly, in general,

she has not been herself.

The doctor says that

everything is fine,

and we've done all these tests.

But she's just convinced that there's

something wrong with the baby.

- She's adamant about it.

- Wow.

BRITTANY:
Braedon.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Braedon?

Come on, I know you're in here.

(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)

(GASPS)

Braedon.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

Braedon?

(WHISPERING) Braedon, come out.

It's not funny anymore.

(CREAKING)

Braedon.

Get out!

(SCREAMS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

ZACH:
I think

I just saw you move.

All right, come on.

Do it again.

Lift this back

so we can see you.

All right, buddy, let's go.

Ah.

You're sleeping

like your lazy mother.

Lazy bones.

(CHUCKLES)

It's all right.

(MAVERICK BARKING)

(SCOFFS)

Shh.

ZACH:
Mav, hey. Hey.

(GRUNTS)

You know, we talked about

the summer courses.

So, I figured I'd just get a

couple of classes going...

and then go back to the

full load in the fall.

You don't want to just

wait until the fall?

(SIGHS)

No, I don't want to

just wait until the fall.

(STAMMERING)

Okay, I was just

thinking because...

I know, it's just that

this has come up and I...

No, I know.

But the baby is coming in March.

I know it's not gonna be easy.

But I don't want to put

everything on hold just to...

We're not putting everything

on hold indefinitely.

I gotta keep working.

But if I stop doing it now...

then I feel like I'm not gonna

be able to start back up again.

I'm gonna be stuck in this house

and I'm gonna

become some housewife.

Then I'm gonna

turn into your sister.

I'm gonna be Natalie,

and I don't want to be her.

Sam, you're not gonna be Natalie.

It's you and me.

That's what it's turning into.

I know that...

but this isn't what I

wanted to begin with, okay?

I didn't want to get

pregnant and now I am.

And I just want life

to go back to normal.

I don't want to talk

about it anymore

and my f***ing hair

is falling out, okay?

Sam! Whoa.

HEY. ZACH:
Hi. Are you excited?

Yeah!

Yeah, why?

Because today's

my First Communion.

ZACH:
Oh, shoot, my bad.

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Hi.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

How are you feeling?

Well, well, well.

Are you ready for your

big day, young lady?

You've got

the whole family here.

Yeah.

(ALL CHUCKLING)

Hello, Sam.

Hi.

- How are you doing?

- I'm doing well, how are you?

(COUGHS)

I'm good, really.

So, when is the little one due?

ZACH:
One month.

One more month.

- One month. That's good.

- ZACH:
Are you all right?

MR. MCCALL:
Do you want

a bottle of water?

No, I'll be fine.

One month. That's the

home stretch, right?

ZACH:
Yeah.

(COUGHING)

I've just got something in my throat.

I'm so sorry.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

(CHOIR SINGING HYMN)

I think that's the nicest

procession I've ever seen.

Boys and girls,

we are so proud of you.

And we are so happy...

to have you here this morning on this

big important day in your lives.

Newest members of our church

to gather round for the

Liturgy of the Eucharist.

We are here to celebrate

with you today

your first Holy Communion.

Also, the first time...

you receive our Lord Jesus

Christ into your souls.

Uh...

(COUGHS)

Excuse me.

Uh, this sacrament...

(COUGHS)

(GUESTS MUTTERING QUIETLY)

It is a sacrament...

(COUGHS)

(ALL MURMURING)

MAN:
Father Thomas,

are you okay?

(COUGHS)

Where was I?

(CHOKING)

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

He needs help!

ZACH:
It's okay, Father.

Go call 911.

Thomas, Thomas.

ZACH:
Hey, whoa, Sam.

Hey, hey! Stop, Sam.

(GRUNTS)

Look, it's me.

Hold on. Stop. Stop!

All right. Hey! It's okay.

(GRUNTING)

SAMANTHA:
I don't remember

what happened back there.

With Father Thomas.

Did I...

Did I do that to him?

What? No.

(SOBBING)

Hey.

(SNIFFLES)

What the f*** is wrong with me?

ZACH:
Hey, hey! Stop, Sam.

Look, it's me.

It's Zach.

Hold on. Stop. Stop!

All right? Hey! It's okay.

(SAMANTHA STRUGGLING)

"Zach"...

ZACH:
Let's just go.

Let's just go home.

FATHER THOMAS:
Oh, lam

so sorry. Where was I?

(PEOPLE GASPING)

(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

(REWINDING)

FATHER THOMAS:

Jesus Christ into your soul.

(REWINDING)

(CHOIR SINGING HYMN)

(MUSIC PLAYING BACKWARDS)

Born from death.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

- ZACH:
Look at this little guy.

- SAMANTHA:
Hey, little guy.

Yeah, I hear it.

No, Zach, come on.

These men are staring at me.

ZACH:
What?

SAMANTHA:
I said, "These men

are staring at me."

Hey, babe, let's put it away.

(MAN CHANTING IN LATIN)

(MEN CHANTING IN LATIN)

(MAN WHISPERING IN LATIN)

(OTHERWORLDLY ROARING)

- ZACH:
Come on.

- SAMANTHA:
No.

ZACH:
Yes. I'm sorry,

but we gotta get up.

SAMANTHA:
Ugh.

I'm so hung over.

ZACH:
Yeah, no kidding.

Hey, Mason,

it's Zach. Um...

Can you come over

for a little bit?

I need to talk to

you about something.

Thanks. And I'll meet you outside,

in front of the house, okay?

I don't want to bother Sam.

Okay.

SAMANTHA:
(COUGHS) Mmm...

How did we get home last night?

ZACH:
I don't know.

The guy in the cab?

What the f***?

He was like our cab driver,

on our honeymoon.

So I came home,

looked at all the tapes,

and there's all

this mystery f***ing...

Look at this.

MASON:
You sure, man?

Maybe it's some weird sh*t

they do down there

to scare tourists.

Whoa, what the f***?

What the f***?

It's gone.

(STUTTERS)

MASON:
What are

you talking about?

I was literally just looking at

this sh*t right before you...

I was looking at this right before

you came in, and now it's gone.

It's empty. It's gone. The

f***ing tape is gone now.

F***! Why don't you just

take a breath, man?

No, I don't need to take a...

Wait, hold on.

What the f***?

NURSE:
We've been

monitoring him 24/7.

ZACH:
Uh, do you think

I can talk to him privately?

NURSE:
If he needs anything,

we'll be right outside.

ZACH:
Father Thomas,

how are you?

I had a small stroke.

Yeah, we heard.

Are you gonna be all right?

How is Sam?

Um, she's okay. That's

actually why I wanted to...

I'm glad that she's okay.

Talk to you.

Um...

I saw these weird symbols

on our honeymoon.

And, um, I just don't know

really what they are.

And I thought you might...

because everything I've seen says

they're, uh, religious symbols.

So, uh, there's these ones...

and then there's that.

There's a bunch more.

These are the only ones

I've actually seen in person.

The other ones were all just linked

to it when I started looking.

John, first John.

What?

First John, 2:
18.

"And children,

this is the last hour."

"You have been told

the antichrist is coming..."

"and so, that there are

many that are coming."

"That is how we know

it is the last hour."

What are you talking about?

These are from early, early religion.

These are...

early religion, there

is a sect, dissident.

They tried to bring the church

down in it's early days.

They did rites, and they
