The Pact Page #2

Synopsis: Nichole Barlow comes to San Pedro with her daughter Eva to attend the funeral of her mother. She calls her estranged sister Annie to help her to resolve pending businesses, but Annie is too traumatized with the bad treatment spent by their mother and does not want to return to their childhood home. Nichole convinces her sister to come and she arrives to the funeral. However, Nichole goes missing and Eva stays with Nichole's cousin Liz. When Liz also disappears, Annie claims that supernatural events happen in the house but she becomes the prime-suspect. The open-minded detective Bill Creek assumes the investigation and realizes that there is something weird in the house. Meanwhile Annie summons the medium Stevie believing that the ghost of her mother is responsible for the vanishing of Nichole and Liz. But the woman warns Annie that there is a great danger in the house. Annie decides to go further in her investigation and discovers dark secrets from the past of her family.

- I'm sorry for what happened to you.

- What are you talking about'?

I can see in there.

I can see what happened to you.

It's horrible.

Horrible.

What's on the other side?

- Last flashlight.

- What's with all the flashlights?

Electricity. It draws them out.

Hold this.

There's a second presence.

Oh, God. Your sister.

What about my sister?

Oh, God.

Sh*t!

She didn't want anyone to know!

Stay away from her!

Damn it!

- Can you help me?

- Judas! Judas!

Judas! Judas!

Judas! Judas!

Judas! Judas! Judas! Judas!

Judas! Judas!

Judas! Judas! Judas!

Judas!

Out, now!

Let's get out!

Stevie! Stevie! Stevie!

Who was that woman in there? Who was that?

She didn't want anyone to know.

Stevie, who's Judas?

- Why were you saying Judas?

- She didn't want anyone to know.

Stevie, no, that... that wasn't my mother.

Who was that? What happened to Liz?

What happened to my sister?

Stevie!

What do you think you're doing to her?

Let me talk to her! Open the door!

Stevie! Stevie! Stevie, what did you see?

God damn it! No! Come on!

Sh*t!

Mom?

"Jennifer Glick."

"Charles Barlow."

Okay.

Charles Barlow. Born 1947

at St. Baptist New Hospital.

And Judith Barlow.

Born 1950. St. Baptist New Hospital.

This... So, my mother had a brother?

That's right.

And I don't see anything on him

after the 1980 census.

All it says here is he worked

as a longshoreman.

Hello?

- I want to talk to Stevie. Is she around?

- Giles!

No. Listen to me,

don't put Giles on the phone.

- Just get her.

- Okay, okay. Hold on.

Hi, Annie.

Stevie. I need your help.

That woman, in the house,

she was killed a long time ago.

And... And she was someone

that my mom knew, and...

What did you feel in that house?

The presence told me

that your mother did something.

Something that she didn't want anyone

to know about.

But... But this thing was trying to kill us,

wasn't it?

No. It was trying to show us something.

Once you understand what it wants you

to know, you'll be free of it.

But how am I supposed to understand?

I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do?

I just want to know

what happened to my sister.

Annie, I can give you a tool

to communicate with the other side.

But you should only use this if you're ready

to go all the way with this thing.

This woman who your mother knew,

do you have anything of hers?

Yeah.

You've got to go back in the house.

If I do this,

you promise me that it'll leave me alone.

Trust me.

Okay. Tell me what to do.

Are you Jennifer Glick?

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, okay.

What do you want me to know?

Judas.

Wait.

Was he my mother's brother?

Oh, God. Um...

Did he murder you?

Okay. Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry.

What do you need me to know?

Below?

You f***ing crazy son of a b*tch!

Do it already!

No! No! No!

I'm gonna eat some of your ice cream

with you.
