Hold Your Breath Page #5

Synopsis: There is an old wives' tale that you should hold your breath when passing by a cemetery lest an evil spirit rejected by both heaven and hell gets inside of you when you inhale. Someone in a carload of college kids on holiday doesn't hold his/her breath when driving by a graveyard, allowing the spirit of a recently executed serial killer to get inside him/her to begin a spree of body-jumping carnage.

How does he

possess a body?

There's a graveyard

up on the road out there.

Did you all pass

that graveyard on your way in?

Did you

hold your breath?

All of us, but, uh...

But him.

Did you

feel any different?

I don't

f***ing know.

He was

acting really strange.

We thought maybe

it's because he had

Some bad drugs, though.

How about now?

Do you remember anything?

I don't know. I've been

having bad dreams.

Tell him what happened

when we went down to goodchild.

I don't know, okay?

I don't remember.

It's all right.

Don't freak out,

don't freak out.

'Cause when a spirit

possesses your soul,

You forget about it.

You can't

remember sh*t.

How about

the rest of you?

How are y'all feeling?

Is everybody okay?

'Cause what

can happen sometimes

Is the spirit can jump.

Jump?

McBride:
Mm-Hmm.

If somebody's

got some wicked thoughts

Like they want

to hurt somebody

Or they want

to kill somebody,

That spirit can take

that opportunity

To possess

that person's soul.

So how do we

prevent that?

We just have to keep

holding our breath?

No, it's

too late for that.

Once that spirit is out

running free,

There's nothing

you can do about it,

Till we can put him

back where he belongs.

How do we do that?

Young lady?

How you feeling?

Everything okay?

That was

her sister out there.

That was

your sister, huh?

I'm real sorry

to hear about that.

I'm gonna go get us

another pot of coffee.

But we haven't

even drank any.

[ Gunshot ]

- Hey, hey!

- Move!

- What are you doing?

- He's here!

- Van Klaus is getting away!

- I'm not moving!

- Get out of my way!

- No!

[ Panting ]

You can't just go around

killing everybody!

There has to be

another way to stop him!

All right, then,

there's not much time left.

But, Johnny, you're gonna

have to come with me,

And the rest of you

are gonna have to stay here.

Why do the rest of us

have to stay here?

Because if there's

too many bodies out there,

Van Klaus can possess

every one of you,

And I'm not in the mood

To shoot a bunch

of 20-Somethin'- Year-Olds.

I want to know

where you're taking him.

[ Keys jingle ]

Let's go.

[ Crying ]

The rest of you

stay here.

You do not move.

You wanted me to save

your friend, right?

Of course.

This is how

it's got to be.

This is crazy.

Why are we even

listening to this guy?

What are you talking about?

God damn it,

shut up!

I'm telling you,

this is the way it's gotta be

If we want

to save your friend.

Johnny, are you in,

or are you out?

I'm in.

All right, let's go.

Hey, it's okay.

Take care of her.

I have a question.

Do we get a gun

or something?

What the f***

are we supposed to do

If that crazy b*tch

comes back?

We need a weapon,

a knife, something, anything!

This isn't gonna work!

Sh*t!

[ Clattering ]

I got this.

- Heath!

- No! Stop!

You can't help him!

We can't

leave him here!

[ Mixer whirring ]

Oh, f***, go!

[ Mixer whirring ]

No! Stop! No!

No! No! No!

No!

No! Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

[ Mixer stops ]

[ Heath screaming

and crying ]

[ Mixer starts ]

Oh!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

[ Coughs ]

[ Gasps, stops breathing ]

[ Straining ]

Sh*t.

[ Grunting ]

Come on.

[ Owl hooting ]

What now?

[ Thunder ]

What is with

these electrical storms?

They just come

out of nowhere.

So what are we doing?

[ Thunder ]

Hello?

What, are you holding

your breath?

[ Thunder ]

Oh! Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

McBride.

Sir.

[ Thunder ]

Van Klaus!

I got somebody

for you!

Show yourself!

P*ssy!

Johnny? Johnny!

Aw, sh*t.

Johnny!

They got heath.

Johnny, are you okay?

Johnny,

can you hear me?

That's not Johnny.

What?

That's Johnny,

it's his body,

But he's been possessed

by Wilkes,

The warden.

What?

How could you

let that happen?

Who the f***

is Wilkes?

What are you

talking about?

We let you have

our friend,

And you f***ing put

another spirit in him?

Kid, you are

about as confused

As a baby

in a titty bar.

I told you

to trust me.

Johnny.

Johnny, if there's any

part of you inside of there,

You let me know.

You don't

have to speak.

Just give me a sign,

something.

Let him go.

Any idea

where he may be?

She?

Wilkes?

McBride:

You see something, Wilkes?

You see something?

Wilkes, what do you see?

[ Thunder ]

Sh*t.

I don't get back much

here anymore.

Now the only way

he can get out is past us,

So I want you two to stay

real close to us, you hear me?

[ Thunder ]

Not very flattering,

is it?

[ Muffled shout ]

Kyle?

Guys, Kyle's gone.

Son of a b*tch!

That's exactly why I didn't

want y'all to come out here!

Look, do you think

I asked for this?

None of us asked

for this, okay?

All right,

let's head on back.

[ Kyle screams ]

[ Thunder ]

Kyle?

[ Strained breathing ]

You all right, son?

Aah!

Stay with us!

Come on, hey.

Hey, hang in there.

[ Crying ]

Come on. Damn it!

Look, he's getting away.

You go down

one side of the path.

I'll meet you

at the mausoleum.

Let's get

this son of a b*tch!

McBride:
Don't forget

to hold your breath.

Time to die,

lieutenant.

[ McBride groaning ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Jerry straining ]

Aah! Unh!

Unh!

[ Groans ]

[ Both grunting ]

[ Johnny groaning ]

Unh!

Aah!

Aah!

[ Jerry groaning ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

The spirits are

out of their bodies!

[ Crash ]

Let's get out of here

before all hell breaks loose!

[ Coughing ]

[ Loud crashes ]

[ Crash ]

Johnny:
Come on.

All right.

Johnny!

Take the keys.

Get the truck.

Get the girls

out of here!

You're not coming?

No, two demons are out.

This is

a game-Changer now.

I got a chance to fix

this thing once and for all.

Go, Johnny.

Go, go, go!

[ Thunder ]

McBride.

Thanks.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Jerry coughing ]

It's all right.

It's out of you.

Are you okay?

I'm all right, I'm fine.

I just feel sick.

No, it's okay.

[ Thunder ]

We got to get

out of here!

Drive faster,

drive faster!

No, I'm trying, okay?

I'm trying!

Wilkes! Bring Klaus on!

[ Thunder ]

- Aah!

- Oh, my god!

[ All screaming ]

What the hell is going on?

[ Crash ]

[ Noise fades ]

Oh, god.

[ Crying ]

We need to get a phone

and someone to help us.

My leg is bleeding

again.

It won't stop.

Wait.

Wait, pull over.

Pull over and see

if we can use their phone.

Jerry:
If you hadn't

taken our phones,

We wouldn't even be

in this mess in the first place!

Jerry, that's

getting really old!

Are you going

to go in or what?

[ Doors lock ]

[ Removes key ]

- [ Gasps ]

- Unh! Unh!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my-

[ Gasping ]

[ Crying ]

Hello, gorgeous.

[ Rock music ]

# Trackin' all my day

# Wreck,

I'll show you the way #

# Track,

I know you like it #

# Track, just count on me

# Yeah

# Dream awhile

# What about you?

# Here and now

# Come take this away

# Yeah-Eah

# The chains,

I have released them #

# And it gets me

near you #

# While I am myself

# Can even that

explain you? #

# Dream awhile

# What about you

# Here and now
