[ALL CLAMORING]

MAN 2:

Wait for me!

WOMAN:

Oh, no. Mom.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[GASPING]

[HORN HONKING]

[MAN 1 SHOUTING]

MAN 2:

This way.

Help. Help! Help!

[SCREAMING]

HAL:
Go inside. There's

no getting off the island.

Close your windows,

lock your doors.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

MAN:

Daisy.

[SCREAMING]

What is happening?

[CROWD CLAMORING]

Everybody listen up.

I need you to lock this place down

and stay put.

Seal up all the doors, windows, vents.

Every crack, all right? And stay in here.

Sheriff.

Where's Daisy?

She's with her mother.

Listen, Rob, make sure

they seal this place up good.

All right, you heard the man.

Let's seal this place up, now. Let's go.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[GASPING]

[RINGING]

WILL [OVER PHONE]:

Daisy.

[LAUGHING]

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMS]

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

[WHIMPERING]

Open your door!

Come on, open your door!

It's Thomas.

No, don't open it.

We can't just leave him out there.

What are you doing?

Get off me! What are you doing?

Get off me! Thomas!

Quick, open the door!

[THOMAS SCREAMS]

ASHLEY:

Get in.

HAL:

Go.

Where's Daisy?

She's okay. She's safe at the house.

We need to get off these streets.

[PEOPLE CLAMORING

AND YELLING]

[GASPS]

Back it up. Back it up.

Stop the car. Stop the car!

Get out! Get out! Come on! Get out!

Let's go. In the church, quick.

Hey!

Open up! Open up!

ASHLEY:
Hurry! Come on!

Hurry!

Open up!

Open up!

Seal the cracks.

Grab whatever you can.

Seal it up.

Mom!

Hello?

Mom!

[GENERATOR WHIRRING]

Brett, have you seen my mom?

She's not here.

Daisy!

Oh!

Daisy!

Come on.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[THUNDER CRASHING

AND RUMBLING]

WOMAN:

This window needs sealing.

MAN 1:
Just shove that

there. Shove that there.

MAN 2:

I got it, I got it. I got it.

We don't have all day.

Why's it just hovering out there?

I wish I knew.

I gotta get back to the station.

There's gotta be some

scientific solution to this thing.

What happened to the help?

The storm took out

the ferries coming in.

We're on our own.

And where the hell is Father Telmo?

O holy church, I venerate thee

as our guardian and protector.

He's the one that should know

what this spirit wants, right?

Or maybe you know, Ashley.

To forgive the sins of our fathers,

and crush the evil souls

at our doorstep.

It's your grandfather's face

we keep seeing.

I don't know any more

than you do, Carl.

[CRACKLING]

[RUMBLING]

Almighty Lord,

vanquish these evil souls,

so that they may no longer

retain us captive and do harm.

Why is it striking the yard?

There's gotta be something

under there.

Or maybe there's

something in here it wants.

We need to seal these windows.

Do you have any tape?

Uh... Tape.

Yeah, here.

Okay.

MAN:

Then over here.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Is your phone working?

[GASPING]

Oh, my God.

It's you. It wants you.

HAL:

Don't answer it.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Don't answer your phone.

Don't answer it.

Don't!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

[CELL PHONES RINGING]

Don't answer them.

No one answer your phone.

The evil spirit surrounding this church

is Father Barrett,

her grandfather.

He led all those people to their death,

and now it's back. It wants more.

This is no time to start

pointing fingers, Carl.

Whatever it is, it's not gonna stop

until it gets what it wants.

We don't know what it wants.

We are all gonna die

if we don't do something.

She is part of the damn bloodline.

What are you talking about?

That's insanity, Carl.

No! This is our one chance

to save ourselves.

It wants her.

All right, that's enough.

Come on, we're getting out of here.

No.

ASHLEY:
What are you doing?

Let go of her!

ASHLEY:
Let go of me.

Let go of me!

MAN:
Stop him.

Let go of me!

Get off of me!

CARL:
Stop fighting!

Let go of me!

CARL:
Calm down!

[GUNSHOTS]

[PEOPLE SCREAM]

Let go of her.

[C*CKS GUN]

Now.

I know you're all scared.

We are too.

But that's no reason

to start sacrificing each other.

Now, we're gonna walk out of here,

and anybody who follows us,

I'm gonna shoot. All right?

[MAN GRUNTS]

ASHLEY:
No!

HAL:
Go! Go!

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

[STATIC CRACKLING]

CARL:

This way, come on.

In here, quick.

Get back.

Hal!

[MOUTHS]

He's out of bullets.

How do you know?

He only had four rounds left.

I think they're gone.

What's happening?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm so sorry.

What?

I'm so sorry for what's happened to us.

It wasn't your fault.

Things weren't that bad,

were they?

Compared to this, it was a picnic.

[CHUCKLES]

Isn't this what Daisy gave you?

Yeah.

Written by Telmo's father?

Look, she bookmarked it. Wait.

"May 16th, 1912.

Father help me,

for I know not what to do.

With each passing day,

my guilt consumes my every hour.

There's no penance that can

absolve me of this darkest sin. "

Oh, my God.

There was no mass suicide.

These people were killed.

[SIGNAL WAVERING ON RADIO]

I can't get anything.

[SCREAMS]

Follow me.

WOMAN:

No!

[ALL SCREAMING]

I'm so scared, Rob. I don't wanna die.

It's okay, baby.

It's okay. It's okay.

[GASPS]

Brett!

[BEEPING]

Brett! Something's happening out here.

[SCREAMING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Where the hell are they?

Search the church. Hurry.

MAN 1:
All right, let's go.

MAN 2:

Spread out.

[WHISPERS]

All right, come on.

Telmo.

[SCREAMS]

What is that?

It's blood.

Kiss me.

Oh, baby.

[GROANS]

No! Oh, God.

[SCREAMS]

[TELMO PRAYING INDISTINCTLY]

TELMO:
I will release from my sins...

Father?

What are you doing?

Trying to save our souls.

Praying?

It's the only weapon we have.

Daisy found your father's journal.

I should have burned that diary.

I don't understand. Why keep

the truth a secret all these years?

To protect the town.

To protect the town,

or to protect your family's reputation?

Your father led the lynch mob

that killed those people.

He was trying to save the life

of an innocent child.

Barrett and his followers were going

to sacrifice a young altar boy.

It was your father

who killed the altar boy.

You don't know

what you're talking about!

This is my...

HAL:
Father.

Father.

Father!

HAL:

Father, answer me!

Phil! Bruce!

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

[GROWLS]

[SCREAMS]

SPIRIT:

Daisy!

[SHRIEKS THEN PANTING]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

I was wrong.

It's not Ash the storm wants.

It's him.

All right. Calm down, Carl.

A while ago, you said it wants Ashley.

Now it's Father Telmo.

That's before I read what's in here.

Your father murdered the cult

and the altar boy.

That's why the ghosts

are circling the church.

They want you.

You have to atone

for the sins of your father.

All right. We need to band together,

not turn on each other.

This storm is tearing this island apart.

I'm taking him.

ASHLEY:

Wait!

Stop!

[ALL GRUNTING]

No!

Enough!

I will go.

Don't do it, Father.

You're gonna thank me

when this is over.

ASHLEY:

Are you okay?

Yeah. Look...

You need to go get Daisy, all right?
