Finale Page #2

Synopsis: A family descends into a vortex of denial and paranoia after the death of the oldest son. Though labeled a suicide, the bizarre circumstances lead the mother, Helen, to believe there are darker forces at work. Black paint was thrown over everything reflective in the son's decrepit Victorian house, an explosive trap set in his bedroom and a woman from his past haunts the cemetery where he lies buried. But when Helen's investigation threatens to ruin the life of her teenage daughter, Kate, and possibly her own sanity, she realizes there is but one escape from this nightmare world - the very route attempted by her dead son. Finale captures mystery, horror and suspense in the colorful visual style of the 1970's Italian gialli.

Thank you.

[Door clicks shut]

To mourn

this tragic loss.

Whenever the Lord calls

one of his flock up to him,

it's good to take a moment

to reflect on the happy memories

you had together.

Close your eyes.

No one has to speak,

but now is the time to share

your memories about Todd.

It could be about his laugh,

his smile,

his baby blues.

[Teeth gnashing]

What are you doing?

[Hisses]

[Footsteps fading]

Sean's notebooks?

The other side...

[church bells ringing]

Helen Michaels

saw him collect your boy.

How unfortunate.

Obituaries.

[Phone rings]

[Line trilling]

Hello?

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry

I missed dinner, honey.

I'll be home

pretty soon, okay?

I just wanted

to tell you that

it was a good idea,

getting involved at school,

I mean.

Tell her

I booked my flight.

Dad got

his business tickets.

Oh, good, okay.

Um, can we talk

about this when I get home?

Yeah.

I love you.

You too.

I'll be home soon.

Well, have a good...

have a good night.

Bye.

Sorry I have to miss

your opening night.

It's not that.

" Cover the mirrors.

Not enough. "

[Screams]

"10:
28."

[Glass shattering]

" Reflections.

Any reflections. "

" Black paint. "

"Worked.

Cover everything.

The Collector

comes for us. "

" Must protect. "

Must protect...

Must protect who?

Oh, my God.

[Demon howling]

He was covering the reflections

to keep him out.

Oh, sh*t.

[Paint buckets sloshing]

[Tires squeal]

[Grunts]

Cover the mirrors.

Cover the mirrors.

Oh.

Black paint.

[Groaning]

[Gasps]

[Whimpering]

[Buttons beeping]

[Demon hissing]

Pacific Daylight Time

will be 10:
28 and 30 seconds.

Beep!

[Groans]

[Demon howling]

[Gasping]

Helen, what is...

Get out of my way!

What the hell

is going on here?

[Yelps]

Mom!

[Glass shatters]

[Screams]

Call 911.

Call 911!

I got him.

I got him.

I got him.

I stopped him

from coming in.

[Sighs]

Charlie?

Hey, I'm here.

Peter came down

to see you,

left you some flowers.

How are you feeling?

Where's Kathryn?

She's at play rehearsal.

We have been so worried.

At play rehearsal?

Yeah, we have been

so worried about you.

No, Charlie, we got

to get her out of there.

- No, no, no.

- No. Mrs. Bliss.

You've got to lie down.

Mrs. Bliss,

she's a part of it.

No, no.

You have got to lie down.

No.

Look, we have

got to talk about

what you think you saw

in the mirror.

What I saw

in the mirror?

Yes.

You didn't see it?

See what?

You didn't see him?

It was...

See who?

The Collector.

- What?

- Charlie.

Look, I'll go get Kate

if you just lie back.

No, no.

Let me go.

Helen, what?

We got to go.

We got to go.

Helen!

Helen?

We' re over here.

Drive faster,

drive faster, drive faster.

Helen, get a grip,

will you, please?

We' re here, all right?

[Scoffs]

What?

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Don't; you'll pull out

your stitches!

Oh, no!

[Panting]

[Inhales]

Confess!

This is madness!

Won't any of you

listen to me?

You leave us no choice.

Perfect.

Marvelous.

[Screams]

No!

Can we get some help?

Let me go!

Let me go!

[Laughs]

Let me go!

No, no, no!

You' re...

[yelps]

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie?

Charlie!

Are you okay?

Mom?

What are you doing here?

You' re okay.

Yeah, it's just

the dry run.

The show opens

tomorrow night.

I am so sorry.

She just hasn't been

herself recently.

I'll keep you both

in my prayers.

Katie?

[Objects clattering]

Katie?

[Knocks at door]

Ow, f***.

Katie?

You've got

a lot of stuff in there.

I got to take it down.

Come on.

Open the door.

Katie?

Katie?

Damn it, Katie.

Come on, let me.

Let me in.

You got to let me in.

Katie?

[Gasps]

Oh, God, Charlie.

[Shushes]

[Broken glass jingling]

[Sighs]

Silverware?

I'll get it.

Kathryn.

You' re not allowed

to be in that play.

What?

You' re not allowed

to be in the show.

It opens in 24 hours.

What are they supposed to do

without me?

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

It's one thing

for you to ruin my day,

but you can't screw up

the entire show for everyone.

I'm trying to protect you.

From what?

Can we please just

finish our meal in peace?

I have to be at the airport

in an hour.

How can you let her

do this to me?

Tell her she's being

unreasonable.

Tell her she's wrong.

Kathryn.

Dad, do you really think

that my theater teacher

would try to hurt me?

It doesn't matter

what I think.

It's just

a high school play.

This is not

just about the play.

Goddamn, tell her.

Watch your language.

Tell her

she's completely crazy.

Do you know

what time it is?

Lt's 7:
36, Charlie.

It's 7:
36.

He's coming at 10:28.

We don't have time!

We don't have time.

You haven't touched

your dinner.

The Three Musketeers

ends with a hanging.

Othello strangles Desdemona.

Judas Iscariot

hangs himself

at the end

of Jesus Christ Superstar.

What do you

want me to say?

It's terrible

living like this.

I'm late.

No, no, Charlie.

Charlie, don't go.

Please, please, please,

please, don't go.

If I nail this,

we can move out of here.

Okay?

Can you hold on

until I get back?

Yes.

I love it

when you laugh.

It's beautiful.

I love you.

I love you.

Oh, Christ.

"And do not fear those

"who can kill the body

but cannot kill the soul;

rather, fear him who can destroy

both soul and body in Hell. "

[Echoing] 10:
28.

He's coming at 10:28.

We don't have time!

We don't have time.

God damn it, Charlie,

do something.

Mrs. Bliss,

she's a part of it.

I'll keep you both

in my prayers.

[Horn honks]

Go!

Light's green!

Yeah?

What time does the show end

tomorrow night?

Around 10:
30.

Oh, my God.

Kathryn.

Please, just let me

prove this to you

when it comes tonight.

Mom, I'm really...

I don't...

Please, Kathryn.

If nothing happens,

will you drop this?

Come on, hurry.

[Hinges creaking]

I'm going

to go get a jacket.

Wait.

[All chanting]

Dehenia Ni'enen!

Dehenia Ni'enen!

[Screaming]

[Coins clicking]

[Alarm ringing]

He's coming.

[All chanting]

Dehenia Ni'enen!

Dehenia Ni'enen!

[Demon howling]

In exchange

for our lovers,

destroy our enemies.

Kill Charlie Michaels.

[Panting]

[Sighs]

[Demon shrieks]

Dad!

[Skull crunching]

[Choking]

[Groans]

[Demon shrieks]

I still can't let you perform

tomorrow night.

Why are you

doing this to me?

Because I love you.

That does not

make it okay.

Katie, if anything happens

to you...

Nothing's going to happen

to me, Mom, okay?

Everything will be okay,

if you just let it.

But they' re still

after us.

Who? Who gives a f***

about our family?

Why are you so adamant

about this?

Do you know something?

Have you listened

to yourself?

Do you think with

the entire audience watching,

she would still kill me?

She wouldn't have to.

Mom, there's nothing there,

and there never was.

[Screams]

Holy f***!

[Knocking at door]

Hey.

Is everything okay

with your mom?

[Sighs]

Lt's just

one of those days.
