The Sacrament Page #6

What were we supposed to do?

We can't take anyone with us.

We could've done something.

Sam, it's not why we're here.

It's not our problem.

It's not why we make these films,

you're losing sight of things.

We can report this when we get back,

but it's not up to us to decide

what happens to these people.

We're not the Red Cross.

Did you see those scars?

How could she let her

daughter be beaten like that?

That's all for tonight.

It's been wonderful.

Return to your cottages and be thankful

for the joy we have in our lives.

Will Wendy and the clean up crew please

meet me at the pavilion in 15 minutes?

God bless you all.

Look at them just do exactly

what he tells them.

Brainwashed.

Look, the helicopter is gonna

be back here in 8 hours.

Let's just pack our bags

and be ready to go,

seems like everybody

is going to sleep.

I don't think anything else

is gonna happen tonight.

You know, let's just

try and get some rest

and hopefully things

will calm down.

But when the sun comes up,

we're gonna get Patrick,

we're getting the hell out of here.

What is this place?

Well, it's officially 5 o'clock.

So much for the greatest

night's sleep of our lives.

Tried to go to sleep

about an hour ago.

Whatever they're doing

in the pavilion

seems to have stopped,

so it's been quiet.

Oh.

Neither of us could sleep.

It's a weird night.

Looks like it's finally

getting to us.

Well, I'm actually really scared.

It's the most scared I've

been in a long time.

Ready to go home.

All right, it's morning now.

We made it through the night.

There appears to be some kind

of group of people gathered

outside of the pavilion.

It's unclear what exactly

is going on over there,

but we're gonna have to

just go find Patrick

and start to make our way

back to the air strip.

You see this?

Jesus Christ.

What the hell is going on?

Hey, what the f*** is happening?

Dude, what's going on?

This has been happening

for an hour.

These people want to leave, I started

filming 'cause I knew you'd want it.

- I have no idea what to do.

- All these people want to leave?

They all know we have a helicopter

coming and they want on it.

We can't take all

these people with us.

I told them, I keep telling

them, they won't listen.

Caroline has been freaking out all

morning. I don't know what to do.

Hi.

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah, it's fine.

We haven't had anyone

come here for over a year

and so you guys being here is

really stressing them out.

Okay, can I... Can

I ask you on the record

Okay, you know just really

don't concern yourselves.

It's fine. Everything...

This is nothing.

Caroline, this is not nothing.

These people want to leave.

You can't keep them here.

Listen, you guys...

They can't leave.

They have to stay here.

Their families are here.

Do you want to break

up their families?

Hey, wait a minute.

They are allowed to leave, right?

Of course, they are.

That's not what I'm saying.

You guys need to go to the

helicopter right now.

Hey, Sam! Sam!

Sam, do not get involved in this.

What are you doing? Come on.

Please, take her with you.

Calm down, Wendy. No one

is taking her anywhere!

I told you, our

helicopter is too small.

You could take just her.

Dude, no.

Go ahead and get to the field,

ask how many people it can hold,

I'll stay back here

and figure this out.

Sam, this is crazy.

- We can't take anybody with us.

- Just her.

I can't leave her like this, man.

Just get there before the pilot leaves.

Have one of the guys radio back.

That'll work, right?

Just don't let that

helicopter leave without us.

Go, hurry.

Caroline, where's the ride?

All right.

I'll radio back soon as

I know what we can do.

You're sure you know, when we come

back Trust in your brother...

It's gonna be okay. It's fine.

We're not gonna leave

without you, okay?

- You cannot do this.

- Back off!

We're not gonna leave

you, I promise.

What happened? Where is Jake?

We need to figure this out.

- Caroline, where are you going?

- I have to get Father!

He warned me about this, he was right

about you, he was right about all of you.

You came here to destroy

us from within.

I didn't want to believe it, I

fought for you to come here.

You are not my family,

I made a big mistake.

Stop f***ing filming me.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

Where are the others?

They're coming, they're coming.

How many more people can fit in this?

No, that was not the deal.

No one else comes.

No, it's just... It's a mom and her

daughter and my friend's sister.

- No, I told you.

- No, she's sick. We have to help her.

- Only the ones I bring in, no exceptions.

- Look, I don't understand, man...

You're scaring the little

one, you're scaring her.

Hey, Sam, look out.

Hey...

Take the camera.

I want you to film this.

It's an order.

Yes, Father.

Do you see him?

Where's he?

He's gone.

I think I see him.

He's gone.

What are we doing?

Why are we chasing him?

It was Father's orders.

This is the end he talked about.

Nobody can leave here alive.

Hurry up, children, please hurry.

I need you all to hear

what I have to say.

Every family, every one of them,

come on, we don't have much time.

You must be here.

This concerns all of you.

I need you here with me now,

quickly, quickly, quickly.

Come on in.

Everybody, come in here.

Have a seat, please be seated.

Everyone be seated

please, have a seat.

I've got something to

tell you, so settle down.

You know I love you.

Yes, Father.

I gave you all I had.

But there comes a day when

the quality of your life

matters more than the time

you've got left to live.

Oh, the men came here

and destroyed everything

we worked for.

We can't let them go

back to New York.

No.

No.

Because they would spread lies

about us and what we have here.

Yes, Father.

Then their government

would send soldiers here

to burn our homes and take our

children and kill us all!

No, no.

That's right, we can't

let that happen, no!

I will not let that happen.

Now I didn't want

to hurt these men,

but somebody will come looking

for them, you know they will.

Yes, Father.

So where do they go?

Or where do they stay?

This is the end for us.

Our time has finally come.

Oh.

Oh, mother, precious mother,

I'll come with you, Father.

Take me with you.

I know you will.

Some of you have been with

me since the beginning.

We knew this day might come.

We talked about it and

we planned for it.

Some of the children have

already been given the potion.

Oh, no.

We don't wait to be murdered.

We don't wait to be

struck down like dogs.

Take your drink and lay down

your life with your family.

If we can't live our life this way,

what earthly life is worth living?

This is the last

sacrament, children.

They all know we're

not afraid to die,

but I want us to be able

to choose our own death.

We can go kindly and

we can go quiet.

This is our final test.

Oh, I love you all.

You've been so loyal
