The Purgation Page #5

Synopsis: Ever since she was a little girl, Iris has wanted to be a filmmaker. For the last five years though, she's been trapped working in reality television, directing episodes for a series that's barely able to compete with Ghost Hunters. Iris sees her big chance to prove herself when gets sent on assignment to her hometown of Black Falls, a small town harboring an abandoned insane asylum that has a dark history of excessive shock therapy. Filming inside the asylum brings back childhood memories for Iris, memories of sneaking into the asylum with her friends to shoot homemade horror movies. Little does Iris know, her life is about to imitate her art.

You told me you saw him.

- I can't keep

pretending for you.

- You're lying.

- I am just trying to

point out the obvious.

- Ask Derrick, he saw Jacob.

Derrick was in the

same room as us.

- Ask Derrick?

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it like that.

- I'm gonna be out there.

If you want dinner come on out.

- I'm not sure where she is.

- She was just here.

I just saw her.

When did you start

speaking again?

- Please don't scream.

I don't like it when

people scream at me.

- I mean this is the

first time I've heard

you talking in a while.

- I talk all the time.

Maybe you should listen.

If you listen more you

might learn something.

- I'm not hungry.

(crying)

(grunting)

(crying)

- May I help you Miss?

- I was just here this morning.

I think I left

something in my room.

- Okay, if you left

something in the room

the maid probably turned

it into lost and found.

- I just need to see something.

It will only take a minute.

- But you already checked out.

- Then I'll check in.

- Okay.

- Can you do that for me?

- Yes.

Yes I can.

- Thank you.

(crying)

(ominous music)

(footsteps)

(ghostly singing)

(ominous music)

- Iris.

- You shouldn't be here.

- I have to stop her.

- You can't.

- I can't live my life

like this anymore.

- You can't stay here.

You have to go back.

- I can't just go.

You have to help me.

Please, just tell me what

I'm dealing with here.

Is she ghost, a demon?

I can do this.

(splashing)

Sister Agnes is a real person.

There are photos

of her and she is

on the staff roster

at Black Falls.

But did she really

kill her patients?

I mean this was an asylum right?

Patients died all the time

from unnatural causes.

She was never really

accused of murder.

- Iris she's here.

You have to go.

- No, not yet.

Not until I get answers.

I need to know what happened.

- Iris please.

- It's not time yet.

- Just get a grip

and get out of here.

Once she gets you it's over.

There's nothing left to see.

You never used to

believe that crap

my mom preached, right?

Once you die you

just stop existing.

There's nothing left.

- Iris please, she

may not say much

but she's always listening.

You have to get out of here.

All she wants to do is hurt...

- Derrick!

- He's mine now b*tch.

- Oh my God, Derrick.

We have to get out of here.

Derrick!

(running)

(inaudible)

(running)

- You're me.

You're so young.

Don't worry it will

all be over soon.

Just close your eyes.

(sigh)

If you see my mom

tell her I'm sorry.

I can't stand living

with her anymore.

- Marlene.

(screaming)

My eye!

(laughter)

(ominous music)

- Marlene!

I don't want to say

goodbye Marlene.

I'm sorry.

(screaming and moaning)

- Help!

(screaming)

(ominous music)

(inaudible)

(running)

- Hurry!

(screaming)

I'm stuck.

(light music)

Caden.

Caden.

(light music)

(creaking)

Caden?

(light piano music)

(birds chirping)

(footsteps)

(light music)

- A part of me wants

to believe Iris.

To accept it all as the truth

rather than the ramblings

of a fractured mind.

I like to image that she

made the right choice

and that she's in a

happier place with

the rest of them.

That they all made

it out eventually

and are running around

somewhere in this

mess of grass and

trees and fresh air.

(upbeat music)
