Don't you think we should

take her to a hospital?

I feel like

we're in over our heads here.

Okay. I am giving her the exact same

treatment she would get at a hospital.

If we leave now, all of this mess

will have been for nothing.

Okay. What about the wounds on her arms?

I pulled some thorns out.

It looks like she might have

run into a thorn bush out there.

She probably did it on purpose.

What?

David...

from now on, she is going to do

whatever it takes to get out of here.

Mia.

Listen, you have to

get out of those clothes.

All right?

Take a shower.

David.

Please.

Please.

You have to get me...

out of here.

Nobody said this was going to be easy.

No.

You don't understand.

There was something in the woods, David.

And I think it's in

here with us now.

With me in the room?

Look. You know it's all in your head.

Just try to get it together.

You'll feel better tomorrow, okay?

You'll be glad we were such a**holes.

Okay.

Eric, what are you doing?

Would you please just

get rid of that thing?

You should be downstairs helping

your friend clean up that mess.

I don't know who you're talking about.

Don't act like you don't care about him.

I know you do.

I think we can all agree he hasn't cared

about us for the past freaking century.

Well, he's here now.

Yeah.

Truly amazing.

Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Grandpa?

Come here, boy.

F***.

Grandpa.

No, no, no.

Hey, boy. Come here.

What did you get into?

F***.

What happened?

Mia?

She's in the shower.

What happened? David?

Mia?

Mia, open the door.

Hey, Mia, open the door.

- Open the door!

- David, what are you doing?

David, stop and tell me what's going on.

Mia, open the f***ing door!

Mia?

Mia, open the f***ing door!

David!

David!

Stop it!

Mia!

Mia?

Mia?

Olivia!

Holy sh*t!

Mia!

Sh*t.

This is insane.

F***. Where is it?

This can't be happening.

I gave her a sedative so she

should be out for a couple of hours.

But, f***, her burns are serious.

Like, second, third degree.

This is so wrong.

Nobody could have known

she would do something so twisted!

No, you should have known!

We've been following your

lead since we got here.

We should have left when Mia wanted to.

Baby, please!

Let's not lose our heads, okay?

With any luck, it will stop raining

in a couple of hours...

and we'll be able to cross the creek in

the morning, and take her to a hospital.

Okay? Everything is going to be fine.

"Everything is going to be fine"?

Everything is going to be fine.

I don't know if you've noticed this,

but nothing has been fine.

And everything has been

getting worse every second.

Mia?

Mia?

What are you doing?

Mia, put the gun down.

Put the gun down, please.

Mia.

Put the f***ing gun down!

Die!

One by one we will take you!

You are all going to die tonight.

The gun.

The gun, quick!

Baby?

Mia!

- Let me out!

- She's totally psychotic.

My God, what happened to her eyes?

What's she doing?

It sounds like she's hitting

herself against something.

This is impossible.

I just gave her enough sedative

to put a horse to sleep.

Give her another shot!

That could put her into a coma.

For Christ's sakes, she's

going to kill herself down there!

Go get the shot!

I have to get the shrapnel

out of my arm.

What? I have tweezers in my purse.

David. Listen to me.

I don't think a tranquilizer

is going to do sh*t.

Because I don't think we're dealing

with a freaking panic attack here!

I'm scared that what's happening to

Mia has something to do...

with the f***ing witchcraft

in the basement!

Olivia!

Olivia?

Olivia?

Are you okay?

Olivia?

Olivia, what are you doing in there?

Olivia.

Olivia.

Are you okay?

Oh, my God!

Why the f*** did you do that?

Kill him.

No!

She tried to kill me.

She tried to kill me.

F***.

You hold that.

You got it?

Hold it there, okay?

Hold it.

F*** it.

David, I did something terrible.

I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt her.

That thing I killed was not Olivia.

He's losing too much blood.

Baby, he needs water and sugar. Okay?

Go.

Go!

Okay. Okay.

- All right.

- David.

I read a passage from that book.

It was some sort of prayer.

I released something, David.

I released something evil.

Natalie?

Mia?

Natalie.

What am I doing down here?

My leg hurts.

I can't move.

I'm going to come down there, okay?

Why did you lock me down here?

You were supposed to help me.

Hey, we're trying to help you, okay?

You were out of control, you know?

You got violent and we didn't

know what else to do.

Mia, something really

terrible has happened...

and we have to get out of here now.

You don't understand.

He's not going to let you leave!

And he's not going to stop

until he has you.

Until he has all of you!

I can smell your filthy soul.

Kiss me, you dirty c*nt!

Why don't you come down here

so I can suck your cock, pretty boy!

Mia.

Mia's not here, you f***ing idiot!

Your little sister

is being raped in hell!

Home. I want to go home.

Eric.

I don't know why,

but I thought this would end it.

But this book does not burn.

It does not f***ing burn.

Tell me what's going on here.

This book uses some...

ancient alphabet.

There's some translations, but...

Just scattered notes.

They all refer to some...

evil entity.

A taker of souls.

A demon.

It says...

"Once he feasts on five souls...

"the sky will bleed again

and the abomination...

"will rise from Hell."

This is insane.

This thing is attached to

Mia's soul like a leech...

it's becoming her.

If we want to stop this,

if we want to help Mia...

I think we're going to have to kill her.

What did you say?

Everything says...

Eric! We're not going to

f***ing kill anybody!

Are you listening to yourself?

What about those dead cats

down in the basement?

I mean, maybe they had some disease.

Some virus that spread to Mia...

and then she passed it to Olivia

when she puked all over her face!

But what kind of a virus makes a person

cut off their face with a piece of glass?

Oh, God.

I don't know what we're

dealing with here, okay?

But it stopped raining, and in a couple

of hours the river will be clear...

and we're going to get out of this place.

All of us.

It doesn't matter where we go.

If we don't do something right now...

we are all going to be dead by then!

Don't do it, you little b*tch!

Don't cut it off!

Don't cut it off!

F*** you!

No, no, no!

No!

I had to do it.

And I feel much better now.

Hold on, baby. Hold on, please.

Eric and I are going to

put a stop to this, okay?

I promise that everything is

going to be fine.

Okay? Okay, baby?

She just cut her f***ing arm off.

Does that sound fine?

These inscriptions are confusing,

sometimes contradictory...

but they are consistent about one thing.

In order to stop this,

the possessed must be cleansed.

Purified.

The book describes three specific ways.

A live burial.

Bodily dismemberment.

Dismemberment.

And purification by fire.

Are you sure this will work?
