Rites of Spring Page #2

- No... What are you doing?

Leave her alone!

No, no... No!

No, no... No!

What are you doing to her?

Stop it... Stop it...

Wh-why?

Please, I don't understand!

What are you doing?!

Alyssa... Alyssa...

I'm still here, OK.?

I'm still here, OK.?

Why are you doing this?

It has started.

Get away from me.

The days of rain.

Hello?

Tommy.

In two hours.

At 6:
00.

Is everything cool?

Just be ready.

The pickup is at our old grain

silo where dad used to work.

Just like we talked about.

Tommy, you there?

Yeah.

If anything seems weird,

you bust out of there,

all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I will.

We'll call you if there

are any changes.

Can you do that for me, Philip?

No, no, I'll, I'll come

pick it up myself.

Give me the keys.

You know, I think

I'll hold onto them.

Then drive the car around back.

I don't want it in front.

Take the kid in the back.

I'm calling for the money.

Hello?

Did you call the cops?

No.

Good.

Did you get what I asked for?

Yes.

The gray mill on canton

road in half an hour.

Put all the money in a

duffle bag and leave it in

silo number one.

I want my daughter there.

That's not gonna happen.

My money's not there in

half an hour, she's dead.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Are you thirsty?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Now I just need

you to stay here.

I'll come back to check

on you later, I promise.

Everything's gonna be OK.

Nothing is gonna happen to you.

I'm sorry.

Is she all good back there?

Yeah, she's not going anywhere.

What are we gonna do with them?

Take them out to the

woods and let them go.

Just like we planned.

When we get the money.

It's almost six.

It's time to get ready.

I have given you a lifetime.

And you have rewarded us again

with an early harvest.

The blood is clean.

The

sacrifice has begun.

Let him rise.

Let him rise.

And protect us from his wrath.

You answer that.

Hold the phone out

so I can hear.

Hello?

Tommy, where the f*** are you?

It's been an hour.

I'm on my way.

Did you get the money?

Yeah.

So how close are you?

I'm almost there.

Is everything OK?

Yeah, everything's great.

They took my daughter.

I didn't.

Shut up!

And drive.

Where are we going?

I told you, I'm taking you

to where your daughter is.

You think you can just come

into my house and

violate my family?

You think I would just take it

and not do anything about it?

You don't know

anything about me!

I started with nothing.

You and your friends

underestimated me.

What are you doing?

If you cooperate and don't do

anything stupid, I promise

you'll be released soon.

Tommy's on his way.

So?

He's got the money.

I told you everything

was gonna be OK.

So once the money gets here

we split it up four ways,

we all go our

separate ways, right?

After we split, we split.

No further contact,

no loose ends.

Are you happy now?

I don't know if you

would call it happy.

Why?

All of our problems are solved.

You know what?

I don't think it's that easy.

Ben, you worked for his

company for seven years,

and he fired you for something

that wasn't your fault.

Do you think that's fair?

No.

We deserve this.

Do we?

...oh, my God.

Alyssa...

Alyssa, it's OK., it's OK.

I'm just gonna get

you down, OK.?

I'm so sorry.

Oh, God...

He likes

to take their heads.

He must not get out.

Don't let it out.

Don't let what out?

You, you can't stop it.

I don't understand.

Stop what?

The rites of spring.

Ben? Amy?

Tommy.

Well, look who it is.

Now, this is what

I'm talking about.

Nobody move!

I knew you would f*** this up!

Ben, he had a gun on me.

Shut up.

You, move away from the others.

Listen...

You killed my wife.

You're the reason

your wife is dead.

Shut up!

You.

Now!

I, I don't have a gun on me.

You don't even who

this is, do you?

He worked for your

company for seven years.

Amy... Don't.

Untie her... Now!

Jessica...

Grab the gun.

Now... Where is my daughter?

She's in the back

room, over there.

Is there anybody else here?

I don't think so.

You watch 'em.

I'm gonna go get Kelly.

Christ, she shot him.

Don't move, Ben.

What are you doing?

If you move, she'll

shoot you too.

Nobody move.

Paul, what the f*** is going on?

We're taking the money.

What are you talking about?

Paul, what are you doing?

No!

Are you f***ing insane?

He...

Don't you even f***ing

think about it.

Don't.

He'll just shoot us.

He's just gonna kill us anyway.

I told you, your brother

better not make a mistake.

Paul, let's just kill them,

take the money, and go.

Sorry.

This is just the

way it has to end.

Please, please!

What the f***?

You have to help me.

You don't understand.

Who is she?

Oh, my God.

What?

I know her.

Ben?

What the hell is going on here?

Paul, let's go.

Grab the money.

We have to go...

we have to go.

Seriously.

We have to go.

Oh, my God!

Run!

Ben, come on!

Run!

Oh, my God.

Kelly!

Kelly!

F***...

What the f*** was that?

It killed my friend.

What did?

What killed your friend?

I don't know.

What is she talking about?

I'm going downstairs

for the money.

I'm getting out of here.

You're not going anywhere!

Ben, what are you doing?

That was his plan

the whole time.

Kill us all, take the money.

What were you gonna do

with the girl? Kill her too?

Put the gun down.

Your brother made the mistake.

Where's the kid?

She's gone.

We have to keep moving.

Come on, Paul, it's over.

I am not gonna ask you again.

That's why you never told us

who your inside man was.

It was all a setup.

I'm calling the cops.

You put that f***ing phone

down or I will shoot her...

It's over, Paul.

Drop the phone, Ben!

F*** you!

Just give him the phone.

Come on.

Nobody's calling anyone.

Come on, Paul.

Just put the gun down.

Ben, please don't let

him take me down there.

Paul!

If you don't follow

us, I'll let her go.

Please, please just let me go.

Shut up.

Don't move.

Come on.

We have to get out of here.

We can't leave Rachel.

What are you doing?

Forget about her.

I'm not listening

to you anymore.

I'm not leaving her to die.

Ben...

Paul?

Paul?

Paul?

F***! Go!

What the hell is that thing?

I don't know.

We gotta get out!

Go, Amy.

Oh, my God!

It's stuck!

Get out of the way!

Go!

There's a house up there.

Yeah, come on.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Let's go.

No, no.

We have to find a phone.

We need to call for help.

There's the phone.

Hello?

There's a light on in there.

What is this place?

Who are all these people?

All these newspapers have the

March 21st.

That's the first day of spring.

That's Rachel.

Come on, Amy.

We should, we should go.

Are you clean?

What are you doing?

It has to be fed.

For the harvest.

Why are you doing this?

Tradition.

It's the family way.

Where are you taking her?

Where are you taking her?

Where are you taking her?

You should feel special.

Do you have keys to a car?

Yeah.

- OK.

We have to find Amy.

Where does he take 'em?

I don't know.
