Gehenna: Where Death Lives Page #3

Okay.

Damn it!

I got something.

It's Japanese.

Great. Just talk to them.

(speaking in foreign language)

It's a recorded message.

Just keeps repeating.

What does it say?

It's an imperial order.

(ghostly whisper)

David... David.

Civilians who commit suicide

get equal spiritual status

to soldiers who die in battle.

Maybe, try another frequency.

(speaking in foreign language)

[Voice] Kill her, Tyler.

Wait, what is it?

It's, just static.

Great.

Isn't it, Paulina?

Just great!

[Woman] Dave.. Dave,

I gave you first crack at

this property, as a favor!

I had 3 other buyers out there!

All ready to sign,

ready to bring in

their own the professional team!

Just like you should've done!

If they'd even

found out about it

before they started

the construction.

Maybe if you hadn't

lied about it.

Listen!

Listen.

All these arguing isn't

doing anybody any good.

We still need to find

another way out, right?

Hey, Dave. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Did we reach someone?

No.

(speaking in foreign language)

Which way do we go?

Well, I'm going this way.

It's your lead.

I'll take it.

Hey guys, what about Pepe?

He's probably hiding in

some corner, so screw him.

Japanese didn't carve this.

Here.

Definitely not.

Smells awful.

More Latte stones?

I know what this place is.

I've read about it in a

book on Chamorro folklore.

This was a burial site

for ancient chiefs.

These were the

first Bojobo dolls.

And, they help the spirits of

ancient chief and his bride,

whose bond was eternal.

That's why all the

dolls come in pairs now.

By separating the two

a curse was formed.

His bride was kept above ground,

but the chief was

buried down here

with a Spanish commander

who did terrible things

to the Chamorro people during

the first colonization.

The Chief's suffering

for his lost love

would be equally eternal

and that torment,

would be felt by the commander,

who's supposed to be still

down here, and still alive.

Oh my god, that's

the biggest crock

of sh*t I've ever heard.

These people believed it

enough to paint it on the wall.

To ward off the foreigners.

There's probably treasure

buried down there

with ancient chief.

What about that crazy looking

old man that attacked you?

Oh, he looks Spanish to you?

Well did he?

What does that say?

It's asking for, forgiveness.

Release.

Escape.

[Woman] David.

Claire?

And then it says kill me.

Oh my god, Dave!

Alan, take it.

I saw, I saw.

It's okay.

Relax, relax.

Dave, I think it's

dislocated. Alright?

It's alright, my brother

did the same thing

when we were kids.

Sorry, pal.

This is going to hurt.

We should get him

back to the barracks.

Yeah.

Dude we don't

have time for this.

We need to keep

searching for an exit.

Oh, come on, Paulina.

No one is stopping you, Alan.

Just uhh, don't

forget to come find us

if you find a way out.

Fine. We'll stick together.

Easy.

Watch your head.

I'll stay with him.

You guys go on.

Alan is wrong.

The curse is real.

You should rest.

Somebody there?

What is this place?

We're not one

floor down, are we?

I saw these exact same

pictures in the room before.

It's the natives.

Okay? It must be.

Tyler, the natives are

just screwing with us.

(praying)

Pepe?

Mother of God.

What have you done to yourself?

I am witness now.

There must always be a witness.

She told me.

Who told you?

Mi madre.

Someone must carry their pain.

You listen to me, Pepe.

Your mother is dead.

Only one, forever.

I've had enough of this sh*t.

No, no, no, Alan!

Taotaomo'nas protect me.

Screw you, Pepe.

It's okay.

Easy, Pepe.

Take it easy.

It's best you heed to

warnings, of your ancestors.

(laughing maniacally)

(moaning)

Claire.

(gagging)

I'm so sorry.

It was an accident.

You, murdered me!

Dave.

Dave.

Stop it.

She was choking me.

Who?

My sister.

There was an accident.

You don't have to tell me.

You don't have to tell me.

In the end, do you think

we'll have to pay for our sins?

I hope not.

The old native dropped

this outside the cave.

This is the female.

The male is down here somewhere.

Maybe we can put the

two back together.

Then maybe we can get

the hell out of here.

It's more than just a folk tale.

Because it is not

possible. That's why.

That order was

given in 1944 when

the US Marines were

overtaking the island.

It's a tourist

gimmick by history nuts.

And I suppose that guy

that just blew his brains out

was a suicidal World

War 2 re-enactor, huh?

You're saying we are

not on a different floor.

We're in a different time.

Yeah, that's the only

thing that makes any sense.

That's the only

thing that makes sense?

Do you hear yourself?

Are you buying this?

No! This is not an option!

Okay, listen to yourself!

This is insane!

None of it is real!

Paulina?

Tyler?

Stop messing around!

You,

must,

die.

Don't you forget

you're the one

who made us come down here.

We are the only

sane ones left.

No, he's right.

Whatever is happening

to us is my fault.

Paulina.

Come on.

You couldn't have known...

If it wasn't for me,

we'd be back at the hotel

having drinks talking about

what an a**hole Alan is,

I'm the one who insisted

we come down here.

You're right.

Alan is a huge a**hole.

You are completely

wrong about the rest,

but Alan is

definitely an a**hole.

Dave gave me this.

He said that the old

native dropped it outside.

It's the matching

female to the male doll

that's supposed to be down here.

Huh. Sure looks like

the one in the painting.

He said if we re-unite

them then we may be able

to get out of here.

Look, I just told everybody

that I think we traveled

back in time, so I'm willing

to try anything right now.

Come on.

Maybe this will

give us some clues.

It's bullshit.

It's bullshit. Just the

natives are screwing with us.

It's the natives screwing,

That son of a b*tch.

Enough of this

voodoo crap, Pepe.

You come and face me like a man.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

Hey!

Pepe!

Pepe!

Pepe, come back!

Listen, I just want to talk!

Pepe, listen.

This is okay.

I get it, okay.

You're one of the

protesters, right?

That's it. You've been working

with them from the start.

You want to scare

all the white devils

away from your sacred ground.

It's genius.

Come on, Pepe!

Show us our way out of here.

Tell the police

whatever you want.

You hear me, Pepe?

Get us out of here

and all is forgiven!

You want money?

Just get me out of here, Pepe.

I'm going to pay

whatever you want.

You hear me?

Name your price!

Pepe!

(speaking in foreign language)

Her fault.

I'm going to go check on Dave.

(suspenseful music)

Who's down there?

Mommy?

Yes, sweetie, it's me.

I'm cold.

I'm so sorry, Jack.

I should've been watching you.

Where were you?

I'm right here now.

Mommy's right here.

I missed you.

Did you forget about me?

Of course not.

I love you.

Why did you let me die?

Paulina!

(screaming)

What's the matter?

My son, I saw my son.
