- What happened?

- Their spiritual leader was a medium...

...who led his followers out

to California in the early 1800s...

...to start a Utopian society.

They disappeared near Cuesta Verde...

...and were believed...

...massacred by Indians.

This could be them.

(whispers in Indian language)

It's funny?

Well, no. I...

I love the health club, you know.

I'm just wondering

when I get the key to my locker!

Sense of humour. It's good.

You're gonna need it.

(lndian chant)

The entity has revealed

his essence to you, his enemy.

Now that you've seen each other...

...there'll be no mistakes.

Take this smoke.

Smoke...

...make him one with power...

and knowledge.

Here is a photo of those people.

I think you should have a look at it.

I know this is hard for you, dear...

...but I need your verification

on something.

You see...

...I don't really trust

my instincts any more.

Now... hold this one...

...and tell me what you feel.

Oh, my God! I've seen him!

- I thought so. Where?

- Oh, my God! Here!

At the mall! At our house! Who is he?

Tell me what you feel.

Just tell me what you feel!

Who is he?

I've consulted others. They've told

me things, but said you know more.

- I don't know anything!

- Yes, you do!

You travelled to a dimension few people

have ever travelled to incarnate!

Your daughter is highly clairvoyant!

As was your mother, I suspect.

As you are, as well!

Now, tell me what you feel!

(Diane) It is him.

It's the preacher.

They're following him in death

like they did in life.

They seal themselves in a cavern

because Kane tells them...

...that the end of

the world is coming.

Come... with... me!

The day he predicts

for the end comes and goes.

But Kane won't let them leave.

No, no, please!

Please don't!

Please don't!

- Please don't.

- Oh, Diane!

Yes, it all makes sense now.

When you brought Carol Anne

back to this world...

...his followers became restless...

...because they had tasted the light

of her being, her life force.

Now he wants her back!

This person is no longer human.

He is the Beast.

Earthly thoughts

Be silent now

While with reverence...

You must take your family

back to Cuesta Verde.

What?!

The evil spirit that is stalking you -

it knows who you are...

...where you are, how to find you,

what your weaknesses are.

Your best bet is to confront him,

surprise him on his own ground.

But, Taylor, what...

What about Diane and the kids?

They are your power.

And you are theirs.

Are... things desperate, Taylor?

What you see as desperate...

...I see as inevitable.

I've done all I can.

I must be leaving you now.

I'll take you home.

(Steven) Um, guys...

...you know, there's no reason

to get depressed.

Taylor's not here. That's all right.

We'll keep on going - as a family...

...as a unit.

Son, you know, I've... I've told you

about the helmet and eating.

I told you I'm not hungry.

Miniature golf. Tomorrow we can

play some miniature golf.

We can get our putters and...

How about bowling? Huh?

You like bowling, sweet pea.

Nature hike, Rob, huh? We'll...

Brisk walk!

I know, the water slide, huh?

We'll put water wings on E Buzz,

we'll shove him down...

...and laugh, won't we? Ha ha.

So after Alice fell down the hole,

why did she drink from that bottle?

Because it said "Drink me" on it.

Oh. Were they gonna capture her

and take her someplace bad?

Yes, but Alice gets home

all right, remember?

Did she know

why they wanted to hurt her?

I don't think so, honey.

Cos I know.

- You know what?

- Why they're here.

Why, baby? Why are they here?

Cos they don't know where else to go.

(ghostly sighs)

Agh!

(grunts)

Aghhh! God!

Aggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(quietly) God is in his holy temple

God is in his holy temple!

(hums)

Hi, angel!

Are you OK, Dad?

Yeah... I just want

to give my little girl a hug!

Oh. Hey...

...your mom and I would like to talk. Alone.

Go put on your nightie, honey.

What's going on, Steve?

Nothing. I just want us to be alone.

Carol Anne's upset.

- Does that feel good?

- I should dry her hair.

She's all right. She's safe.

Steven, come on.

- Honey!

- Is that good?

Honey! Don't!

- Not now!

- Why? When?

- What do you mean?

- Diane, I have needs, too.

It seems to me your needs have been

fulfilled by the bottle tonight!

Oh!

Steven, don't.

Diane... are you accusing me

of being drunk?

- I'm not accusing you of anything.

- That's what you're thinking.

- No, I'm not.

- I know you.

That's what you're thinking!

- Spare me, Steven!

- Diane!

You remember just the other day...

...when you were seven

and you were helping your mommy...

...plant flowers in the garden!

Ah, you saw it clearly!

How the hell do you know that?

Cos... I... am... smart!

- Oh, Mommy Jess, don't cry!

- Shut up!

Mommy Jess, don't pout! No!

You think that all of our troubles

are because of Carol Anne!

You wish Carol Anne

had never been given birth to!

- You never wanted... Carol Anne!

- Shhhh!

But you thought it!

- You thought it, you thought it!

- No!

- You thought it, baby!

- Shhh!

You thought about it!

You thought that! You thought it! Shhh!

You thought it!

- Diane's had secrets!

- No! Don't!

- No, don't touch me!

- Ahhh!

- Don't! Steven!

- I know you!

- I feel you, Diane! I feel you!

- What is wrong with you?

(sobs) What is happening to you?

Why are you doing this?

- What is happening to you?

- (Steven grunts)

Steven, stop it!

- (screams) Stop it!

- We want the angel!

The sweet pea!

No!

I love you, damn you!

He is in his holy temple!

Don't you know that?

I love you! Believe me, I love you!

- Oh, God, leave me alone!

- What is it?

What's happening to you?

(chokes)

- What's going on?

- Leave me alone. Leave me alone.

- What is it?

- (gasps) Please!

What's the matter?

God!

Oh, Steven, what is it? What's the matter?

What is it? What is it, Steven? Oh, God!

What is it?

(screams)

Oh, God!

Steven!

(screeches)

(snarls)

Wake up! Wake up!

(snarling)

- Robbie!

- Robbie!

Carol Anne!

- (creaking)

- Kids, where are you?

Stay put! We'll find you!

Babies?

(Diane screams)

(Diane screams)

(Carol Anne) Daddy, help me!

Help me, please! Dad!

Help me, Mom! Dad!

Steven! No!

Steven!

No! No!

(agonised screeching)

- Aghh!

- Oh!

Damn.

- Carol Anne! Robbie!

- Robbie!

I'll check in here. All right?

Robbie? Carol Anne?

Oh, babies, please answer me! Please!

Are you in here?

(loud rhythmic banging)

Kids! Kids, please come!

(electricity crackles)

Robbie! Carol Anne!

Kids!

Robbie?

Carol Anne! Please!

Mom!

Oh, baby! Oh, baby, are you all right?

- Diane?

- (Diane screams)

- Where's Carol Anne?

- We can't find her. I don't know!

The garage!

Carol Anne!

- Carol Anne!

- Carol Anne, where are you?

(Diane) Carol Anne!

(Steven) Carol Anne!

- Carol Anne!

- Carol Anne! Where are you?

Honey?

Carol! Open the door, sweet pea!

Come on, honey, open the door!

Lift up the knob, sweetheart!
