Finale Page #3

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.

Well, listen, we...

there's a cast party

going on.

I want you to come.

It'd do you good.

- Um...

- Please?

Yeah?

Do I have time

to change?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Can I come in or...

I'm really sorry

about the house.

Okay.

Oh, God.

Mom?

You got to listen to me,

Pete.

You have to, okay?

Nobody else will.

Just calm down.

The Collector

comes at 10:
28.

Sean figured it all out,

wrote it all down

in his notebooks.

It was all shorthand,

though.

People were killed.

Some were murdered...

I mean, hung like Sean.

I don't have it all

figured out.

But Sean had a girlfriend.

Angela.

Pete.

Sean had a girlfriend

he hid from us.

What's wrong with you?

How come

you' re not saying anything?

You don't want

to know the rest.

What?

Don't.

You knew?

Just don't.

Why didn't you

say anything to us?

Why didn't you tell us?

Because

I didn't say anything,

I protected

this whole f***ing family.

I held

this family together.

You don't understand, Mom.

Then help me

to understand.

Angela

was part of this cult,

and your favorite

blew them all up.

He killed them,

and then he killed himself

because he couldn't live

with the guilt.

I can take you there.

I can show you

where it happened.

No, come on!

This way!

What the hell?

[Groans]

Dehenia Ni'enen.

This was their house.

He was madly in love

with her.

He was in

a whole nother reality.

She was always depressed

and miserable,

and she got involved with

this demonic cult following...

West Memphis Three...

and she brought them

to this f***ing house.

[Timbers creaking,

glass shattering]

What if he

didn't cause the fire?

What if Sean

didn't cause the fire?

He made

a shitload of these

in some abandoned factory

outside of the cemetery.

What if we find

the explosives?

What if we go to the factory

and find the explosives?

Just stop, just...

I know this is hard.

I know it's easier to believe

in some heroic fantasy

than to face this.

No!

If that's where

you' re going to be,

you're going

to be there alone.

Kate's play opens tonight.

You should come.

I'll save you a seat.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

You look nervous.

Don't worry.

You' re going to do great

out there.

Let me help you.

[Gasps]

Angela.

I'm waiting for Sean.

You' re waiting for Sean?

When the Collector comes.

What happened

to the explosives?

How can I find them?

Just answer me!

I tried to set it right,

told him everything.

We tried to destroy

the following,

but the detonators failed.

Please,

you have to help me.

Can I still light the fuse?

It's too short.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me

how to get to them.

[Footsteps]

[Groans]

If you resist me,

you may find

the church against you.

[Shrieks]

[Engine revs]

Come on!

[Coins jingling]

[Swords clashing]

[Cell phone buzzes]

Yeah?

Peter!

No, Pete, shut up.

Listen to me.

I can't be two places at once,

and I...

I went to the factory again.

They' re going to kill Kate.

You have to get her

out of there.

Did you find the trunk?

No, but there's

not a lot of time left.

They' re gonna...

they' re gonna hang Kate.

Peter, no!

No, God.

[Groans]

[Long beep]

Holy Mary,

mother of God,

pray for us sinners

now and at the hour

of our death, amen.

[Cheers and applause]

[Gears clanking]

Thank you, thank you.

We will have

a brief intermission

before the last act.

So please enjoy refreshments

in the lobby.

Thank you.

Dehenia Ni'enen.

[Straps zipping]

Need any help?

What the f*** happened

last night?

What do you mean?

I don't even remember

leaving my house.

We never left the house.

Stop f***ing around.

We went up to your bedroom,

undressed.

I don't believe you.

I'm not a liar.

You' re not a liar?

Does God ever answer

your prayers?

No.

What if he did?

And all he asked for

in exchange

was to murder your lovers?

[Screams]

Mom was right.

Peter?

Run.

Run!

You gonna protect her

with that?

At least your brother died

with some dignity.
