- From who?
- Paul.
- Right-Paul.
- I'm going home to him.
- Should I go with you?
You get the credit.
- Are you okay?
- We must here.
There is something really fishy here.
What did you see in the house?
Paul?
He was sitting dead in his chair. And then ...
who performed some sort of ritual.
Seriously?
They held candles in their hands and looked
as if it would do anything.
- They freaked out when they saw me.
Are you okay?
- Are you going to tell me what happened?
-There is something really fishy here.
What did you see in the house?
I'll be right.
Rachel, I'm Jim
and is Paul's friend.
He asked me to give you this.
Be careful.
You are in grave danger. Do not trust anyone.
- What do you think?
- So you work here now?
- Who was that?
- I do not know. It is weird.
- I think he's been following me.
- Good thing I'm here to protect you.
I'm really strong.
I'm just joking. So strong is not.
- Want some coffee?
- Please.
It's not for the money.
I am trying to make contact with the locals.
Very smart.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes. That I will do.
- Okay. See you at home.
- Okay.
What do you want?
- I wonder if I can ask if ...
- Who is it?
Let me fix it.
- Can we talk about ...
- Come in.
Hi, I have received more information.
20 people died in the same week
in October 2010.
But I do not know if it is of
ergot poisoning or something else.
I need more time
to piece this together.
I have been informed that some thing
will happen in a few weeks.
- You only have a few days time.
- You get the article soon.
- I'm sending Sam if needed.
- No, I can handle myself.
- I tell if I need help.
- The item will be ready on the 29th
I know that. Goodbye.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes. That I will do.
- Okay. See you at home.
- Okay.
Why did you choose this location
to your script?
I wanted a good story to film.
I read an article about a city
which is completely self-sufficient.
They are shielded
from the rest of the world.
The film will be about a society where
residents turn against each other.
They have their own government.
They believe neither in sex, marriage
or to have children.
Neither sex or marriage?
- They probably died out.
- Bingo.
There is certainly some
who practice it.
I want to do thorough research-
And write a really good script.
Then maybe I can get back
my apartment.
Apartment as your girlfriend
threw you out?
Yes, that's right.
- What happened between you and your girl?
- She does not understand my job.
She wants to
I provide "a real job".
She wants me to be something I'm
not. She sees me as a loser.
She does not support me.
I want to show that she's wrong.
The only thing you need to prove anything to
is yourself.
Greg?
This is Greg. Leave a message
I will call.
Greg, it's Rachel.
I was just wondering where you are.
Call as soon as you get this. Goodbye.
The first thing to look into is that it
has been more than an outbreak here.
There have been both small and large
outbreaks. It has been going on for years.
She's in there.
WE should get her now,
before it becomes dangerous.
- What do you know about ergot poisoning?
- I know quite a lot about it.
I grew up in a town near Salem.
In school, we learned much
the witch trials.
We talked about that ergot may have
poisoned grains and arable land.
And that the poisoning was the villagers
to believe that they were possessed.
I became interested and have read
many books and done research.
When I graduated in
School of Journalism, I read-
-About a city in western Massachusetts
who had many outbreaks for years.
You have reached the right place.
I'm obviously not here
to eat.
We need to talk in private.
What do you want?
You probably know what I'm referring to.
- We need to talk in private.
- About what?
Greg?
Is anybody there?
It is time to sleep.
We read another book tomorrow.
- Can you tell us about Salem witches?
- In school.
Really?
I can not sleep.
- Yes.
- Do not worry. We'll talk more tomorrow.
- Good.
- Good night, sweetheart.
Good night, Mom.
- They are watching us. We'll talk later.
Hello?
Awesome. Thank you.
I'm coming.
I must go.
She goes now. Follow her.
Hi, Greg. It's Rachel.
Call me when you get this. Goodbye.
- Followed someone after you get here?
- I do not think so.
Good. Follow me.
- What were the home of Paul?
- They murdered him?
- Maybe.
Why?
Because he was talking to you.
- I might turn.
- Why are you helping me, then?
I need your help. My family
have lived herein many generations.
When Lincoln prohibited claimed Slaveri
villagers that my ancestors-
-Exerted Witchcraft and Voodoo,
which was not true.
You are a journalist.
You can exonerate my family's name
It is an honor.
I have to show you some things.
There is significant evidence
for your claims.
Stop!
Stop!
Rachel!
We follow.
Rachel.
Rachel.
- Open the door.
- I do not see her.
Come out. We just want to talk.
Open the door.
- Max.
- Rachel.
- The story just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
- What do you mean?
- It's about more than poisoning.
- I do not understand. Explain.
I stole a book from the cult where
is that they should kill with natural poison.
I understand nothing.
What are you talking about?
- The deaths is always in October.
- Calm down. We need proof.
We need to stop it
before something terrible happens.
The article is long overdue.
Gather evidence.
I send down Sam to help you.
There's more. I need more time.
- We have no more time.
- I'll call you when I know more.
There you have your evidence.
They have about 50 locals in there
with their will.
Why is that?
According to locals, the bewitched
but they are poisoned and die soon.
I wanted to show you the place,
but we go into when the time is right.
We can not stay. We must go.
Come on.
It does not matter
where you go. I'll find you.
You can not Hy.
What are you doing?
You make a mistake.
You should not have slept here. Go home.
There is no safer place
than your home.
- What symptoms did people?
- All you can think of.
Muscle spasms, hallucinations,
muscle-
-Shakes and gangrene.
And worse than that.
- How bad?
- Some were like vegetables.
And others died.
Jason, it's something that is not true.
Is there something going on in town
we do not know?
Have you contacted all?
I called my editor. He must
know what time we go to the house.
Tell him we need many
police there tomorrow afternoon.
I do not know. She's still talking.
- What happened?
- A long history.
Tell us where you have been.
My cell phone was left here. What has happened?
You have no idea
