- 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 ...

I saw locals with black hoods

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.

-Take it easy. WE solve this.

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.

My essay was about it.

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?

- Where have you heard of it?

- In school.

Really?

I can not sleep.

- Was anyone killed witches?

- Yes.

- Has the witch trials today?

- Do not worry. We'll talk more tomorrow.

- Good.

- Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, Mom.

- Leave me alone and get out.

- 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.

I wonder where you are.

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?

- Tried to gather evidence.

- 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

and reveal this secret city.

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
