Please, guys, welcome.

Jeff. Helen.

Mike.

(CHANTING)

This way, sir.

(PIOTR EXHALING)

Take your hands, please.

(PIOTR SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Because Kara was killed

in an act of violence,

her soul has remained

in a state of confusion.

Trapped between the two worlds.

Begging for peace.

(CHANTING)

The shamans call it

the Black Sky Ceremony.

Kara.

It allows the feelings you

have for Kara to flow out.

And the love you have for

her becomes like a light,

to guide her soul

from the darkness.

(INTENSE UNSETTLING MUSIC)

(SCREAMING)

Go!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

(YELLING)

I didn't sign up for this!

I didn't f***ing

sign up for this!

Did we have to see that?

I don't know.

All right, what was that?

Hey! Was that

supposed to happen?

No.

It was...

It was f***ed up is what it was.

Can somebody please

tell me that that sh*t

wasn't just in my head?

And the smell.

It smelled like f***ing death.

I can't get it out of my nose.

Kara's hair burning.

Sergei, what happened?

The Black Sky ceremony is...

is very powerful.

It's been passed on

through our shamans

for many, many centuries.

(LAUGHING)

You don't even know, do you?

Because you've never seen

anything like it before.

And you have?

Doing field research

in Tibet, Mongolia.

I saw white magic

in the rituals.

Sh*t that can't be

explained by natural laws.

What's your point?

The Altai tell us our

universe is layered.

Levels of heaven,

levels of the underworld.

Our Piotr just opened a gate.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

The question is,

in which direction?

Maybe you wanna

f***ing elaborate?

Everything is energy.

Light energy, dark energy.

And it flows back and forth.

And when you communicate

with the spirit world,

it doesn't just

receive messages.

It also sends them.

That's what this was.

A message.

So what'd it say?

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

Ask the shaman.

What happened?

I think...

You...

no sleep for many hours.

But what the f*** just happened?

What the f*** just happened?!

Kara.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Crazy, right?

It was sorta crazy

before it got crazy.

We've definitely

veered off into...

The land of "what the f***?"

Exactly.

It was brave of you

to even come here.

Knowing how they'd look at you.

What they'd think of you.

We all lost our

friend. But you...

I didn't lose Brandon.

I'm still gonna visit him

every Sunday, twelve to one.

Until they find out

who really killed Kara.

Maybe then they can

even bury her, huh?

So the spirit world's

sending a message, huh?

I mean, what the f***?

Maybe arson's not the best

way to f***ing communicate,

ya know?

I'm gonna go get some fresh air.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

(EERIE MUSIC)

(CLOCK TICKING)

(SOMBER MUSIC)

What is happening here?

It's going to be all right.

Alice is still convinced

Brandon didn't do it.

Ya know what?

F*** Brandon. Okay?

I'm more concerned with

the lunatics downstairs

than the one in prison

half a world away.

On the plane,

in the car,

you barely said two words to me.

You think I don't know why?

You only wanna sleep with me

when you need a distraction.

(KARA VOICE-OVER

SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

That Altai voodoo sh*t you did,

blew my f***ing mind.

You know Kara

was the first person I met

when I came to the U.S.

Both from far away places.

But she made friends

with everybody.

Some of us like each

other, some don't,

but we all loved Kara.

(CHUCKLING)

I was gonna show her Barcelona

and she was gonna show

me the Altai mountains.

And here I am,

here we are, without her.

Life, tio.

F***ing life.

It's just burning away

right in front of us

and we don't even

f***ing know it, man.

Okay, okay, smile.

One.

Two.

Three.

Okay, okay. Okay,

wait, did you take it?

It's a video.

(LAUGHING)

Okay, you think you're funny?

I know I'm funny.

Okay, okay, smile.

One.

Two.

Three.

BRANDON:
Okay, okay.

Okay, wait, did you take it?

ALICE:
(IN VIDEO) It's a video.

(LAUGHING)

Okay, you think you're funny?

I know I'm funny.

(SOMBER MUSIC)

(SIGHING)

(INTENSE BEAT MUSIC)

Hey Tony, have you seen Brandon?

B?

He went...

(LAUGHING)

I saw your face.

You couldn't even

stand the thought

of Brandon marrying Kara.

No, I couldn't! But

that doesn't mean that I...

I'm sorry.

I was just looking

for Brandon and Kara.

I need to say goodbye.

Last I saw, he was arguing

with Rez about something.

Maybe you were right.

You told Brandon?

(BEAT MUSIC)

Rez?

Rez?

(BEAT MUSIC)

Brandon?

Whoa. I got you.

Are you in there?

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

(SCREAMING)

(FABRIC TEARING)

(SHUSHING)

I think I saw someone.

What?

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Sh*t.

There's nobody, Sandra.

I know what I saw. Did

you check everywhere?

Look, your mind's

just playing tricks.

We haven't slept

in almost two days.

Well, I can't sleep anymore.

Come with me.

Where?

ALICE:
Brandon needs

me to make a wish for him.

SANDRA:
I'm just going

to wish to go back home.

Might as well.

Okay.

(WOOD CREAKING)

(LEAVES RUSTLING)

Wait, you heard

something too, right?

(EERIE MUSIC)

Yeah.

(MENACING MUSIC)

What the f***?

Go!

Oh my god! Go, go, go, go, go!

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

What?

What?

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

(GASPING)

Now.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(SCREAMING)

Alice!

Alice! Alice!

Are you okay?

Turn it off! Turn it off!

(EERIE MUSIC)

Take my hand.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(SCREAMING)

Help us!

Help! Help!

Help!

Help!

(SCREAMING)

(WHOOSHING)

(YELLING)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Help!

(GROANING)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(THUDDING)

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

Sandra! Sandra!

It's over.

It's over.

It's over.

Okay, motherf***er,

who are you?!

Mike, be careful.

Please.

Oh, f***.

What the f*** is going on?

(EERIE MUSIC)

Don't hurt him!

We need to help him.

We gotta take this out.

(YELLING)

No!

No, you pull it out, it will...

How do you say in English?

Bleed out.

Right.

So we're just

gonna leave him there

with a screwdriver in his back?

Where's the nearest hospital?

Doctor?

An hour, driving down the road.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow we go.

By tomorrow he

could be f***ing dead.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

He's getting medicine.

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

Why are you digging

graves in the woods?

What?

How many more are there?

And who are you putting in them?

Not what you think.

What do I think?

There's open f***ing graves

hidden behind the house!

I fell into one!

Listen man, you better

start talking right now.

Not bury people.

What the f*** are you burying?

Itterma dolls.

That's what they're burying.

Of Kara friends.

Of all of us.

To surround her

with kind spirits.

And to comfort her.

Yeah? You're

comforting the dead

with your bodies up in trees?

Your f***ing graves for dolls?

We have to get the f*** out

of here and get Dan some help.
