From Within Page #3

It's different.

I mean, the cops will check it out.

No, see, the cops...

the cops don't have it.

They gave it to my father

to judge what it is,

what that boy is.

Leave him alone, Dylan.

I don't believe this.

He's gotten under your skin.

You're going to see him

again, aren't you?

That's fine, you know.

That's great, but just know this.

This town takes care of its own.

Hello?

The door was open.

So that makes it okay?

If your pants are open, can I go in?

Well, if you're not going to rob us,

might as well do the name thing.

Sadie.

Um, Lindsay.

I came by to see Aidan.

New girlfriend?

No. We're not...

You're the cousin.

Yeah, he mentioned

you were coming.

I drove down when I heard.

Blew his brains out.

What am I supposed to do about it?

Play date's here.

I see you met Sadie.

Can I talk to you alone?

I got to get to the funeral. So what is it?

It's not safe to stay here.

Do you know something I don't?

They think you have

something to do with the suicides.

They're scared.

So?

So I came to warn you.

Come on. Look at your face, Aidan.

Those cuts and bruises

are there for a reason.

This isn't about pride.

It's about some rednecks

coming to kill you.

You need to talk to the cops.

My mother didn't run, and neither will I.

Come on, you're being stupid.

These people are dangerous.

What the f*** was that all about?

She came to warn us.

We don't need outsiders involved.

I can handle it.

They killed your mother.

You think they won't

do the same to us?

I wish Sean were here.

Look, multiple suicides are unusual,

but they can happen.

Bunch of kids see

the same damn movie...

it's called "suicide hotspots. "

But are they the result

of some kind of, what, curse?

No, I don't believe that.

They do.

Come on, you know how it is here.

It's God and the devil, good and evil.

There's no in-between.

- Look, Lindsay...

- You ever find out

what happened to Aidan's mother?

To Candace Spindle?

She died in a fire.

It... It wasn't murder?

That investigation is closed.

She died a week after

Jimmy Grogan was found.

People thought she killed him,

so they got their revenge.

They'll do the same thing to Aidan.

They're blaming him the same way.

Look, Lindsay, people here

are just passionate.

That's all it is, passion.

It doesn't make them murderers.

Come to me.

Please!

Let me out!

Please! Please!

Claire.

Thanks for coming.

What is it you wanted to tell me?

Someone likes us.

It's not going to stop with that.

Still wet.

Let's talk somewhere else.

My mother used to come here.

You shouldn't come around

to the house anymore.

You brought me here to tell me this?

This is where my mother

practiced her religion.

She'd read from her grimoire.

It's a book,

a collection of rituals.

What does that have to do with this?

Go far away from here.

Leave Grovetown.

Dylan, Paul.

You know why we're here, Sheriff.

Why don't you fill me in, Dylan?

'Cause you know exactly

what's happening out there.

These aren't just suicides.

This is something else,

something worse.

And that idea would be based on what?

Faith, Sheriff.

But I don't expect you

to understand that.

The lost never do.

- Listen...

- No, you listen to me, all right?

This all started with the death of

Candace Spindle's youngest son.

What are you gonna do?

You might want to watch that tone, son.

I've been waiting for you, sweetie.

Trish, are you okay?

I will be.

Once it's over.

Over?

What... Who else is here?

I love you, Lindsay.

You know that, right?

Roy?

Hey, what's going on?

Now get her... her hands.

No.

Watch her head.

No.

What are you doing?

Let go, please.

Be still. Come on. Be still.

We gotta cleanse ourselves, sweetie.

We were both at the store

when the girl died.

And today, I saw something

that made me know there's a curse.

There's something I gotta tell you.

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

Claire's dead.

Hey, hey, come on.

- Be still.

- Come on.

O Lord, send down your blessed hand

and cast out the evil

that has entrapped this innocent.

O Lord, send down your blessed hand

and cast out the evil

that has entrapped this innocent.

O Lord, send down your blessed hand

and cast out the evil

that has entrapped this innocent.

O Lord, send down your blessed hand

and cast out the evil

that has entrapped this innocent.

O Lord, send down your blessed hand

and cast out the evil

that has entrapped this innocent.

It's all over, sweetie.

Nothing to worry about anymore.

I felt the power of the Lord

in that church.

And I saw a vision of the Virgin Mary.

We're saved.

Lindsay?

Say something.

F*** you.

And we're just gonna do pulses.

Here we go, ready?

4, 3, 2, and 1...

Lindsay?

You.

Trish?

Are you okay?

Trish?

Roy... Roy, you can't go in there.

- Don't touch me.

- You can't go in.

- Come on.

- Don't touch me.

Don't... You can't go in there, Roy.

- Let me see her.

- Relax.

Let me see her.

Let me f***in' see her!

Come on. Go home, Roy!

You don't wanna be

heading back to jail, son.

I want to go back.

Look, come on down

to the station tomorrow.

We'll give you a full report, okay?

You'll give me a full report on

what the f***'s going on here?

I'm sorry about Trish.

Sorry about Trish?

You sorry about Trish?

Did you see it?

It's inside me.

I have it. What am I gonna do?

It's inside of me.

- Lindsay...

- I'm going to die.

It's real.

No, it's not real.

It's not real.

But I saw.

It's in your mind, okay?

- It's just your mind.

- I heard Trish running like...

someone was chasing her.

That's because what she saw

looked real to her.

Okay, but she was alone.

Let's be real, okay?

It makes you do it. You.

Now this.

Do they see what I see?

Do they see themselves?

That's what we're dealing with.

You against you.

But I'd never kill myself.

And Claire...

You have to help me.

You have to do something.

I don't want to die.

Come with me.

Those spells use energy.

Null energy can be slowed.

This should weaken its flow.

It won't stop it,

but it should weaken it.

Think of it as a thin layer of armor.

A layer of armor,

protecting you.

Relax.

Allow it to work.

Does every part have to be covered?

I think we're good.

Just...

Try not to...

Try not to what?

Try not to sweat it off.

All finished with the rubdown?

Really gets your juices

flowing, doesn't it?

You said the curse is spreading?

When will it stop?

L... I don't know.

So, this, the suicides,

It's like a plague?

Now it can spread everywhere?

How could something that serious

be lying around in a book?

Man's own act of suicide...

If you are willing to pay such a price.

Sean was willing.

The spell is like a key.

If it can open something,

it can also close it.

What we need is the book.

I think I know where it is.

You stay and watch the house.

Oh, is it the house

I should be watching?

I know what I'm doing.

I used to work here.

Where are we going?

He thinks it's unholy, dangerous.
