The Device Page #4

Synopsis: Abby and Rebecca Powell haven't seen each other since a traumatic event in their youth ripped them apart. Reunited for the first time in over a decade, the sisters take a trip to spread their mother's ashes at a secluded lake. As the sisters reconnect and try to heal old wounds, something waits in the nearby woods. A strange object, not made by the hands of man, beckons them to it. As they begin to try and unlock its secrets, Abby is plagued by nightmares of an alien presence that seems all too real. Little do the sisters realize that this object is actually a device, one with a purpose too horrible to comprehend. As the events of the past and the present begin to merge, new discoveries will threaten to tear apart their newly reformed family, and the inhuman creators of the device will attempt to finish a terrible experiment begun years before.

this right now.

- Abby...

- That is just a lot...

To take in.

I'm not really sure I...

You should sit down.

Why didn't anybody tell me

this before?

It took a lot of time.

A lot of therapy to start

remembering.

So what did mom think?

She knew about this?

Apparently, I was babbling about

this sh*t when she found me.

When Chuck

never showed back up,

everyone else said

I was out of my head.

And that what really happened is

that he kidnapped and raped me.

But mom believed me.

Even when I didn't fully

remember what happened.

She trusted what she'd seen in

my eyes when they first found me.

What about the baby?

I'd been

with Chuck before.

I didn't even know I was pregnant

until after they found me and ran tests.

After everything happened,

I was...

I just

couldn't think straight.

I guess I believed

what they said was true and

I let mom convince me to...

Get the...

What happened

after the car died?

There were these

horrible creatures.

Not little green men at all.

They came out of their ships

and they took us.

We couldn't fight back.

We were frozen.

What happened to Chuck?

They took Chuck away.

I heard him screaming,

but I never saw him again.

Abby, I'm so sorry.

I wish I had had the guts

to tell you sooner.

Mom said we should never talk

about it with anyone.

It's just the baby.

I'm gonna go lay down

for a while.

You don't wanna talk about

this anymore?

Becca,

just let me go and lay down.

Who's running away, now?

Hey, you're finally home.

Where's Abby?

She's been resting

most of the day.

She hasn't been feeling well.

Thanks for taking care of her.

I'll be in the basement.

So, what are you

doing down there?

No, no, no, no.

I can't.

They're family. We have

a family. It's our family.

I can't do it.

I won't.

What test?

Look, if, but, If...

If I can't, then, then who?

Who?

It's not mine?

No. Okay. Yeah.

No!

Calvin?

Calvin!

Abby? What's wrong?

Where's Calvin?

I don't know. I haven't seen

him since I went to sleep.

Is he in the house?

Let me check.

It looks like his car is gone.

He's always gone

when I need him.

Okay. Well, I'm here.

Can you talk to me?

I had another nightmare.

Another?

I've been having them ever

since we were up at the cabin.

There's bright lights, and then horrible

creatures and then they grab me, and...

I knew something was wrong. We

should have gone up to the cabin.

What are you talking about?

Mom told me that grandma

used to tell her stories

about weird things happening in

the woods by the cabin, I just...

Stop trying to put

horrible things into my head.

The only reason

I had the dream

is because you have filled my mind

with a bunch of sci-fi bullshit.

I can't handle this.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

No. Abby?

You're not going crazy.

Don't think that for a second.

That's what they

want you to think.

I don't need this, Rebecca.

This isn't helping. I just

want Calvin. Where is he?

Last I saw, he was heading

for the basement.

Abby, wait.

He said he'd get rid of it.

Abby?

Abby, what are you doing?

If he won't get rid of it,

I will.

Good. I'll go with you.

Stay away from me, Rebecca.

My life has been nothing but a

disaster since this thing showed up.

You mean since I showed up.

Well, I never would have found it, if

you didn't go crying off into the woods.

I only ever do that

when you are around.

Rebecca?

Becca.

Where's the sphere, Abby?

F*** you.

Where have you been all night?

Where is it?

I got rid of it.

Just like you said

you were going to.

It's gone.

What?

Where is it?

Abby, that...

Sphere...

Could make us rich.

It's time to stop f***ing

around, Calvin.

There are more important

things to be worrying about,

like all the time

you're spending at work.

And in the basement.

You told me that family was

the most important thing to you,

but you're never around.

And even when you're here,

you're not really here.

How dare you talk to me

about family?

What's that supposed to mean?

I got a call from Dr.

Lieberman's office this morning.

Yeah, so? What did they say?

Abby,

I'm sterile.

- What are you saying?

- I'm f***ing sterile.

Sterile.

I can't have kids.

It's not my baby,

you f***ing b*tch.

That's not possible.

It is possible. It's more than

possible. It's a f***ing fact.

Its science. I'm sterile.

It's not my baby.

So...

You wanna talk?

You wanna talk about family?

Come on.

Let's talk.

Whose is it?

- It's yours.

- Yeah. Right.

Whose is it?

Somebody from your

f***ing office? Who, Abby?

Who?

I've only been with you.

Right.

Of course.

Immaculate conception,

I suppose.

I am so honored.

This baby, is really going

to be something special.

This is Linda Wallace.

- I'm not here right now.

- Sh*t!

Please leave a message

after the beep.

Aunt Linda...

It's me, again.

Hey. Uh...

I need to talk to you.

I don't know

what's happening, and...

Rebecca is gone.

I think I'm going crazy.

Hello. Abby?

Aunt Linda, yeah. I'm here.

Where's Rebecca?

I don't know.

I told you to send her home.

I knew something might happen.

She told me what happened.

And,

I've been having these...

Dreams.

Abby, stop.

I don't wanna hear it.

What?

Our family has dealt with

a lot of weird sh*t

over the years.

There's only way that

we've been able to cope.

You don't talk about it.

That's crazy.

Don't start with me, Abby.

It's not my fault you were too good

to see things for what they were.

You were always too good

for the rest of us.

You want answers?

I'm not going

to give them to you.

I don't know where Rebecca is. So

could you just give me something?

Dr. Sydney Mora.

He's the one who performed the

abortion. Go ahead and talk to him.

Well, what can I tell you

about my most famous patient?

Rebecca,

told me a story.

I don't know

what to believe, though.

What, you don't believe

your own sister?

She's unwell.

All these things tend to

run in the family.

I can't find her and I thought if

you told me about what happened then,

it may help me now.

Well, frankly, I'm not

surprised that she's missing.

I always thought

they'd come back.

With all the things

these visitors can do,

I'm sure finding an old test

subject isn't very difficult.

You're saying

you believe in aliens?

Well, you'd have to be a fool

to not believe

that in this gigantic universe,

there is no other intelligent life.

Believing there's life elsewhere

in the universe is a lot different

than believing

your sister was abducted.

Believe what you like.

So, when you saw Rebecca, your first

instinct was she had been abducted?

No. Of course, not.

Your mother brought her to me

because she knew I would do

what needed to be done.

I was discreet.

When she first walked in here,

she did tell me

what your sister had said

upon being discovered.

She obviously believed her.

I had my doubts.

That is until I saw Rebecca.

What did you find?

She had bruises

on her arms and legs.

As though she had been
