Oh. No. Please! No!

[Thunder crashes]

Yes.

WOMAN:
Stop!

Not another child!

[Owl hoots]

Maggie!

Maggie.

Daniel.

Don't worry. I'll get you down.

[Thunder crashes]

[Both whimpering]

No!

Mnh-mnh-mnh.

Hurry.

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Screaming stops]

[Gunshot]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Chanting]

[Chanting continues]

[Gunshot]

[Chanting stops]

The shaman...

shall have wrath upon you all.

If you kill him...

the curse is just

gonna go on forever.

My father was the one

who dug up the hat,

unleashing the curse.

[Thunder rumbles]

[Crying]

He murdered...

my two sisters.

And he was coming after me.

[Thunder crashes]

[Screams]

[Indistinct chanting]

And I was strong like you.

And I got away.

And when he told the town

that I got away,

they just chose another child

from a different family,

and that's what they're gonna do

when your brother ain't found.

Let him live, Cari.

Just suffer a little while longer.

'Cause the rain's gonna come.

[Dog snarling]

[Snarling]

[Breathing sharply]

You got to make a choice, Cari.

If you really want to end this,

you got to deny it

the thing it desires...

a third soul.

The children...

they're at the schoolhouse.

Go free them

before another one is taken.

You ain't got much time.

And, you...

You must bury the hat.

Put it back in the earth.

[Groans]

Put it back where it belongs...

once this has all passed.

Maggie.

I'm so sorry.

We're too late.

Nah, we got what we came for.

The shaman's power over the rain

resides with this hat...

his oracle to his god.

And now it's ours.

[Spits]

Just like your land.

I'm sorry about your little sister...

but sacrifices had to be made.

Ain't that right, Clive?

The needs of the many

outweighs the few.

The many are now the few.

- [Gun c*cks]

- It stops here.

[Coughing]

Brothers and sisters, I'm afraid

we must continue with the ritual.

Mr. Saul has failed us.

Thank you, Sister.

[Chuckles]

Thank you, Brother.

Thank you.

[Bell tolls]

Reverend.

[Clattering]

[Bell tolls]

[Whispers indistinctly]

Go get the child

from the schoolyard, Sheriff.

Go.

[Clock ticking]

[Rattling]

[Click]

Hurry.

You all have to come with me.

Your lives are in danger.

[Coughing]

[Bell tolls]

[Door closes]

Cari Lumis.

Where's your brother, child?

Cari. Honey.

Where's Kyle?

[Coughs]

We need him to cure us.

We're not bad people, baby.

We're just doing

what needs to be done.

You understand that.

Don't you?

[Thunder rumbles]

[Coughs]

Cari!

Please! Cari!

[Coughing]

Cari!

Cari, please!

[Crackling]

Forgive us.

Amen.

[Crackling]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Thunder crashes]

[Heart beating]

[Thunder crashes]

CARI:
"I kept my promise, Kyle.

Now it's up to you

to lead the children

away from this place.

You must never, ever return

to Perseverance.

Promise me."

[Sighs]

You can't breathe

a word of this to anyone.

This place is cursed.

[Birds chirping]

[Thunder rumbles]

Long before

we had lost our souls

From secrets born long ago

Long ago

Can't look back,

we've come too far

With the bottom falling down

Falling down

Here comes the rain

The rain

Here comes the rain

The rain

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

If I die before I wake

I fear my soul the rain may take

Lying land, hallowed ground

Show the path we travel down

Travel down

Don't hold back

Driving past the lightning cloud

Lightning cloud

Here comes the rain

The rain

Here comes the rain

The rain

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

If I die before I wake

I fear my soul the rain may take

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

And if I die before I wake

Fear my soul the rain may take

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

And if I die before I wake

Fear my soul the rain may take

Here comes the rain

The rain

Here comes the rain

The rain

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

If I die before I wake

I fear my soul the rain may take

Rain, rain, please go away

Take me back

to some other day

And if I die before I wake

I fear my soul the rain may take

Rain, rain, go away

Come again some other day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again some other day

Rain, rain, go away

Come again some other day
