The Purgation Page #2

Why is he just standing there?

Come on Caden, why

are you stopping?

Caden?

(ominous music)

(screams)

(moaning)

(ominous music)

(groaning)

- [Iris] Marlene!

Marlene! Where are you?

- Iris?

- [Iris] Can you see me?

- Iris...

(coughing)

Derrick?

- What is that?

- Where were you?

- We have to get out

of here, where's Iris?

- I'm here.

(growling)

(screaming)

- Run!

(car engine)

- I said six o'clock.

(running)

- What?

- Where's the staircase?

Did we take a wrong turn?

- No, I remember this is

the way that we came in.

It should be right here.

- Guys look.

- I don't remember

seeing that door.

- Me neither.

Maybe it's a way out.

- Let's link hands so

we don't get separated.

- Our father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done.

- I wish Caden were here.

- You know he's

imaginary, right?

- Yeah, but I feel

better when he's with me.

- Guess that's kind of

like how I believe in God.

- You think God's imaginary?

- Maybe, I mean,

at least you can see Caden.

I pray every day to God,

but I never hear him or see him.

- Yeah.

- Derrick, your hand is

like dripping with sweat.

Ew, are those boogers

on your fingers?

(screaming)

- Derrick, cut that out.

- Hello, Iris.

(screaming)

- [Iris] Marlene?

Derrick?

(gasping)

(ominous music)

(crickets chirping)

- Iris!

Derrick!

It's time to go home!

(gasping)

(ominous music)

- Caden?

Are you there?

Please don't leave

me here by myself.

Caden!

(birds chirping)

- Iris!

Iris!

(door creaking open)

Iris?

(footsteps)

- Caden?

Marlene?

- [Eddie] Shh, it's

gonna be okay kid.

We're gonna get you home.

(solemn music)

- Listen.

Yeah, the barn, I know.

It wasn't a haunted barn,

it apparently just

needed a new roof.

No, they were there,

yes they were there,

the so-called sufferers

of demonic possession.

They suffered concussions

from the fallen roof.

No, Iris, yeah we're on our

way to Black Falls right now,

Iris finally set us

up with an asylum.

Yes, I know...

Apparently there

was this nurse there

that just went crazy and

slaughtered everybody there

and burnt the place down.

It should be good, I know.

Lennie?

You're cutting, Lennie

you're cutting out.

- Okay.

- I'm listening, Lennie, I'm

trying to find reception.

All right.

(footsteps)

- What are you

taking pictures of?

- Just the river.

- That's a nice camera,

can I take a look?

- Actually, no.

Excuse me, this is my car.

- You from around here?

- Not anymore.

- What's not anymore mean?

- I used to live a

couple miles from here.

- Not much of anything a

couple miles from here.

- I'm sorry, what did you

say your name was again?

- Elvis.

(grunts)

(coughing)

You crazy b*tch.

Just to let you know,

I work at the gas

station down the road.

Come on by if you

ever want a fill up.

(footsteps)

(car door opening)

(car door closing)

(ominous music)

(car door opening)

(car door closing)

- Sorry about that, Lennie

was talking my ear off.

He seems pretty excited that

we're going to

Black Falls though.

(ominous music)

You okay?

- Yeah, let's go.

We should check in at the hotel.

- Excited to be going home?

- Excited to be going

into the heart of nowhere?

- I don't like

other people getting

all up in my business, you know?

- Don't worry, from

what I remember,

everyone was really nice.

- Sure, from what you remember.

Definitely a lot of

nothing out here.

- We will get that

shower curtain

replaced for you right away.

- And the air conditioner

is way too loud.

- It's too loud?

- Hey Iris, there's coffee.

- Yes.

- Sir, I would offer

to move you to

another room, however,

all of the air

conditioning units

are the same in

all of the rooms.

- No elevator, great.

You want me to take

your bag for you?

- That's fine.

- All right.

(sighs)

Take a nap, see you

in about an hour?

- Yeah, just knock on my door.

- All right, see you in a bit.

(footsteps)

(rustling in bag)

(shuffling footsteps)

(suspenseful music)

(yelling)

(gasping)

- I'm coming, just a minute.

(pills rattling)

F***.

- Hey, you look like sh*t.

- Yeah, that's

better than usual.

- Right, you ready to go?

- Yeah, give me a second.

- Look at this, how do you

always get the nice room?

- No no.

- You all right?

You're gonna change now?

Really?

So this Eddie guy,

who is he again.

- She's a girl.

Eddie is short for Edith.

- Yeah, that makes sense.

It's just, the entire

time I've known you,

you've never dressed

up nice once.

- Yeah, well, I will now.

- All right.

Twenty minutes?

- Yeah.

(doorbell ringing)

(door creaking open)

- Hello!

- Eddie, hi, it's me!

- Good to see you, come here!

Hello, welcome.

- This is my coworker Jacob.

- Your coworker?

- Yeah.

- Okay, great, the

more the merrier.

Please, come on in.

(laughing)

(sighs)

(door closing)

So, you're really

making movies now, huh?

- Yeah, you could say that.

- More like television spots.

I don't know if she'll ever

make it to the big screen.

- I'm so proud of you, kid.

- Thanks Eddie, you

always believed in me.

- I always knew

something would come.

You running around with

that camcorder all the time.

How do you like L.A.?

- Mm-mm. It's, um, different.

But it's nice to

be back, you know?

It's louder over

there, that's for sure.

- Not too much isn't

louder than Black Falls.

I'm so glad you called.

It's been too long.

- I know, thanks for picking up.

- Yeah, thank you for coming.

I mean, you know, things

get kinda crazy at school.

Kids these days, right?

(laughing)

(moaning)

He's just hungry.

Okay, well, very good.

Come with me.

(phone ringing)

I'll show you the kitchen.

I've gotta check on the soup.

- Okay.

- I'm gonna take this.

- Let me just get some food

in him and then we can eat.

- Okay.

- Do you want to say hello?

He's pretty harmless.

- Yeah, sure.

- Yeah, so I would say this

is probably my favorite room.

I spend a lot of time in here.

- I can tell.

- I know, I'm a mess.

Here, follow me.

The best time of

the year is summer,

because, obviously,

I don't have to work,

so I get to spend

a lot of time here,

and kind of cozy in I guess.

- It must be hard, taking

care of him by yourself.

- Yeah, when mom passed,

I said I would look

after him but...

I'm starting to wonder if

there's an expiration date

on promises like that, you know?

Okay, over here, this

is the last room.

Probably looks

pretty much the same,

we haven't really

changed it much yet.

But I'm actually planning

a big renovation here,

maybe make it into an office,

because the light is so nice,

and there's this space

over here, which is just...

(moaning)

Hey buddy.

You ready for dinner?

Open up.

Open up.

Brought some friends,

you wanna say hello?

- Hey Derrick, remember me?

- He seems to just

keep getting worse.

At first, he...

After the accident, he

seemed like he was okay.

Like he was still there,
