Stop!

Jessie was already dead,

Johnny.

We did what we could.

He gave up.

I tried to save him.

What will we tell his mom?

Jonah got you too, Jessie.

Jessie got Jessie.

He didn't fight.

He should've fought,

not given up.

Stop looking at him!

How could this be happening?

I can't...

I don't wanna die!

Come on, Barb.

We're only just kids.

God, please,

we didn't mean

any of this to happen!

That doesn't matter, anymore.

We're all dead.

Would you just shut up, Lydia!

It's all a joke.

Everything that we thought

mattered, just doesn't.

One big, fat, meaningless joke.

You're on my nerves like...

I can't even just

tell you to shut up!

I propose a toast.

[FAINT PARTY MUSIC]

Everyone, everyone,

I propose a toast.

To my dear departed husband.

To my dear JJ Mathais.

To my dear JJ Mathais.

Let it be known

in the company of friends

that I love you even more now

that you're dead

than when you were alive.

ALL:
Cheers!

[RAUCOUS REVELRY]

I don't even have

my license yet.

I'm not ready!

All the dreams I have.

[SLOW HEART BEAT]

[HEART BEAT]

[HEART BEAT]

[HEART BEAT]

[HEART BEAT]

[VOICES IN HEAD]

It was a joke, Tony.

Ok

[DOUBLE EDGED VOICE]

I warned you.

Too much to listen.

It's too late for that.

Over, it's gone.

Fool's game.

I didn't know.

[ECHOING]

I warned you!

It's all your fault.

Your fault that we all died.

I'm so sorry.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

Our dreams are shattered,

because of you.

All your fault.

[ECHOING]

BOTH:
It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

It's all my fault.

It's all my fault.

It's all your fault.

It's all my fault.

My, my, my, my...

It's all my fault!

Francis, please stay strong.

It's all my fault, Barbara.

No one's putting blame.

No one's blaming you.

Yes, they are.

They want me to do something.

Francis, no one's blaming you.

Yes, they are.

No, no one is.

Tony and Jessie want me to.

I know what I have to do.

No, you're insane.

We need you.

Our baby needs you.

Are you really pregnant?

JOHNNY:

I gotta go help him.

JOHNNY:

Look behind you!

Run dude, run!

[FRANCIS SCREAMS]

No, no, Francis!

No. No!

Three down,

three to go.

My god, what have we done!

There's no god.

Only death.

Stop it, Lydia.

You don't know

what you're saying.

It's a joke.

Life is one big, fat,

meaningless joke.

This is what you want

for your baby?

Life and everything in it,

it's all a lie.

Everything that

we thought was true

is a such a hoax.

Don't lose hope.

Hope is for those

who can't face the truth.

Face the truth, Barbara.

You just have to pull

yourself together, all right.

Me and Johnny need you.

- We need you.

- Accept it!

Stop lying to yourself.

It's a dream. You wake up

from it and forget it.

That's life and death

and we're already dead.

No, there has to be

a way outta this.

There has to be a way

to send it back.

With this. We got this

thing here, with this

and we'll send it back with it.

Lydia, it will work.

You just have to believe it.

We can do this.

It's not going to work.

Will work.

No, it won't.

It will, we have to believe

it will and it will work.

[LYDIA CONTINUES TO LAUGH]

It's not gonna work, Barbara.

Johnny, it will work.

We just have to believe.

Please.

It's not gonna work

no matter how hard we try.

We should try at least.

All good things come

to an end, Barbara.

We're all gonna die.

Me,

you,

Johnny

and your f***ing baby!

F***ing stupid baby.

You know why it won't work?

No.

Because Tony broke it, remember?

Not you.

Not you, too.

[LYDIA'S LAUGHTER]

We're all gonna die.

And, you just have to accept it.

It's broken, Barbara.

There are pieces everywhere.

Doesn't matter

about the broken pieces.

Somehow, it still has to work.

[EXASPERATION] You're

wasting your f***ing time!

Time?

I'm wasting my time?

You're wasting your time.

Even if it doesn't work

at least I did something

with my time.

Lydia, Barbara's right.

Yeah, I am right.

We didn't follow any rules to get

this thing here. We believed.

If we believe what we did before

we can send Jonah back.

LYDIA:

How do we start?

So you know what to say?

BARBARA:

No.

We just have to believe that

we can send Jonah back.

Join hands and feet.

Like we did before.

I don't know what to say.

So, I'm just gonna say

what I'm feeling.

Can we do this like this?

Before today, I thought I knew

everything I need to know.

Now, I realize I know nothing.

Nothing at all.

What we did

we did out of ignorance.

Tony knew somehow.

He tried.

He warned us because he knew

and respected the power

and he was afraid.

He was afraid because he knew

we're ignorant of these things.

May be, we should try to apologize

for being disrespectful.

Please forgive us, Jonah.

We are really, really sorry.

Please forgive us, Jonah.

Truly, Tony, Jessie

and Francis are sorry.

Awe and respect

of the super-natural gained

at the fearful price

of our friends' lives.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Please forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

ALL:

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Forgive us, Jonah.

Go back and rest in peace.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

What is it, hon?

Can you give me

a glass of water?

Sure.

Here, drink up.

Mommy's downstairs, okay.

Do you think it worked?

Do you think we sent it back?

'Him'.

What?

Jonah was a man.

'Him'. Not 'it'.

Him? It?

I don't give a sh*t.

Did we do it?

Did we send what ever

the hell it is

back to where ever

the hell it came from?

Easy, Johnny.

We sent him back.

Can't you feel it?

All that I feel is that

I'm starting to crack.

This is just so much to grasp.

How can you be so cool?

Because some body has to.

That's it. I'm outta here.

If it's gone, so am I.

What are you doing?

I dunno.

Relax, Johnny.

Everything's okay.

How can you be so cool?

Because everything's okay.

He's gone, can't you feel it?

I can feel it.

We sent him back,

we did it, Johnny.

Then let's the hell out of here!

What are we waiting for?

No, we stay in here.

We just have a few more

hours left until sunrise.

We'll leave then.

It's gone!

Jonah's gone!

Can't you feel it?

No, we stay in here.

If it's gone,
