The Devil's Candy Page #3

Synopsis: Metal music, wet paint, and family are the passions of Jesse, a struggling painter who lives a happy life with his wife, Astrid, and their preteen daughter, Zooey. And things look even brighter when Jesse and Astrid are able to put in a bid on their dream home - a huge property in rural Texas with a barn big enough for a proper art studio - after the price is driven down due to the home's mysterious past. After the trio moves in, Jesse's work starts taking on a new, considerably darker flavour - and things get even more ominous when Ray, the hulking, clearly unbalanced son of the deceased former owners, appears on the doorstep one night, clutching a red electric guitar and asking to "return home." It soon becomes clear that Ray and Jesse are both being influenced by the same satanic forces, and that Jesse's family won't be safe until they find a way to quiet the Devil himself.

Thanks for your patience.

How's she doin'?

Like I was tellin' Jesse here.

I think

the best course of action

is to put you into

witness protection.

- And how long does

witness protection last?

- As long as it takes

to find him.

-Just the gas?

-Need a hand with that?

-Nope. I got it.

- You sure?

- Yep.

-Okay. Alright.

Thank you.

Your key, officer.

- Thank you.

-Uh-huh.

I really feel bad

for that little girl.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be a long time

before she sleeps

through the night.

- Now, where is he?

He was just here.

-Dad?

- Aah!

- Aah! Aah!

-No! No.

-Zo.

I'll be right back.

-Zooey! Zooey!

- He's right outside

of our door!

-Run!

-Zooey, come on!

- No. No. No. No.

No!

No!

Mom! Daddy!

No! No! No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

- Jesse.

Jess..

No.

Zooey, Zooey.

Please, don't hurt her.

Please don't hurt her, please.

-No, stop!

Zooey, don't.

Shh! Shh! Zooey.

- No! No!

- No, no. No!

-No!

Mom!

No, no! No!

Please, please, please.

Please.

-Jesse.

Jesse, you have to wake up,

he's got her.

Jesse.

-Where is she?

-No! No!

No! No, no, no!

No, no, no!

-Shh, shh, shh! Shh!

Look, look, look!

Look.

It's Him.

-Hang on, Zooey!

-No, no, no!

Daddy!

Ah, daddy!

No, no.

-Zo.. Zooey..

Zooey, you need to come to me.

Just jump really fast.

-I can't!

-Please trust me.

I'm gonna catch you, Zo.

Are you okay?

Zooey.

-Where are you going?

-I can feel them inside me

begging, screaming

to be let out.

And I don't know why.

Make his fight on the hill

In the early day

Constant chill deep inside

Shouting gun on they run

Through the endless grey

On they fight

for they're right

Yes but who's to say

For a hill

men would kill

Why they do not know

Stiffened wounds

test their pride

Men of five still alive

Through the raging glow

Gone insane from the pain

That they surely know

For whom the bell tolls

Time marches on

For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky

Just before you die

It's the last time he will

Blackened roar

massive roar

Fills the crumbling sky

Shattered goal

fills his soul

With a ruthless cry

Stranger now are his eyes

To this mystery

He hears

the silence so loud

Crack of dawn all is gone

Except the will to be

Now they see what will be

Blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls

Time marches on

For whom the bell tolls
