The Veil Page #4

---

It wasn't suicide.

- They had an antidote.

- Why didn't they use it?

Something must

have gone wrong.

They didn't plan to die.

Yeah, they all thought

that they were coming back.

Jesus, this is

such a load of sh*t.

Let's see if there's

anything on the Mikes.

This is from

the living room Mike.

Oh, my-- my brothers,

we have removed

the second nail.

I have been reborn.

I've been reborn.

This is track two,

dining room.

Three, hallway.

Four, camera room.

Guys, what the f***

was that?

It's haunted!

This place is haunted!

Enough is enough, Maggie.

Let's get the f*** out of here.

We will, I promise.

But we just--

but what, Maggie?

Let's just load up

our sh*t and go.

Why are we still

talking about this?

- But we're so close.

- Close? Close to what, Maggie?

We can't leave.

What do you think

we should do?

You begged me

to come here.

I didn't want to.

You said that

we would find answers.

Well, now I have actually

seen my family.

You can leave.

You can all leave,

but I am staying

until I find out why

i was the one who survived.

- Jill, please.

- Maggie, I love you.

I do. I just--

you can keep

all my sound stuff.

I ju--

you know what?

When I get down,

I'll call for some help.

Um, you guys are good

with the cameras?

- Matt?

- Somebody's gotta go

with her, Maggie.

Sh*t.

Let's digitize

the rest of the films,

and we'll leave

at sunrise.

Okay.

Okay, I just need

to get this on camera.

Have you heard

those voices before?

Why didn't you tell us,

Sarah?

Would you have

believed me?

What do you wanna do?

I think we should

talk to them.

Okay.

Mom.

Can you speak to us?

I know you're here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

So talk to me.

You wanted me.

Here I am.

Bring them to us.

I've tried.

Sarah. I need you.

As soon as I get home,

I'm gonna give my rsum

to the game show network.

You know Maggie.

She's not coming down till she

gets exactly what she wants.

Girl's like a dog

with a bone.

Sh*t!

Jill? Jill?

Hey, wait, wait!

Jill!

Where did he go?

Ed?

Where did he go?

Oh, my god.

Oh, god.

Matt?

Yeah?

I think maybe--

oh, my god! Ed!

Sh*t! Oh, my gosh!

He's gushing blood

from his neck. You gotta hold--

hold the wound right there.

I'm gonna go get something

out of my bag. Put your hand

here and hold tight, okay?

It's okay, ed.

It's okay.

- Hold it tight, Matt!

- You're gonna be okay, buddy.

- Hurry the f*** up!

- I got it, I got it. Okay.

We're gonna switch.

- One, two, three, go.

I thought he was dead.

Sarah checked him, right?

Look, all that matters

is that we need

to get help.

I need you to go

and get the paramedics.

I can handle this.

All right?

Okay.

Go!

Okay!

Okay.

I need you

to hold this, okay?

Can you put your hand there?

Just gonna get something

to tie it off, okay?

- I'll be back.

Okay. Hang on, ed.

One second.

Okay.

I'm coming.

I'm coming back, all right?

Sh*t.

Help!

Stop!

Help! Please!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Where are you?

I came back.

Like you asked me to.

Here I am.

Sarah!

Sarah!

F***!

Christian.

Christian?

Christian, why didn't

you answer me?

You gotta see this.

Jesus was nailed

to the cross.

He wasn't bound.

He was nailed.

The spirit

is not bound

to the body.

It is nailed.

Thank you, my darling.

It won't give up

its fleshy domain easily.

But if we release

the nails,

we forge a new reality.

A deathless world,

a new dawn for mankind.

But, Jim, certainly,

the children don't--

you know, Karen,

in German,

the word for "death"

is heimgehen.

It means "going home."

What better place

for the children

than at home?

The task that we

have set before us

is one of

the most challenging

that any group of human beings

has ever had to face.

It is a task

which requires

a perfect faith.

Devotion? No.

A lifetime of devotion

is not enough.

One must have

direct experience

of the power of spirit.

Isn't it curious?

The same tool we use

to pound the nails in,

we also use

to draw the nails out.

How funny.

I release

the spirit within!

I release the god inside!

I give birth to the spirit,

and birth is bloody,

and birth is painful,

and there is blood,

and there is pain,

and you are born

into everlasting life!

Stop, Jim! Stop it. Sto--

back!

Get back, I say!

Rise up with your spirit

and feel pain no more.

And be released

into eternity!

Arise!

Arise.

Yes. Arise.

Yes!

The third nail's ours.

Ours for the taking!

And immortality

is yours, brother.

Forever.

Yes.

Will you follow me?

Holy f***ing sh*t.

He's not a fake.

- He could really--

- you said we came all this way

for answers.

Shouldn't we finish?

Time has come to extract

the last ethereal nail.

Time will mean

nothing to us.

We'll watch galaxies

spin like pinwheels.

Sam.

Set the timer

to six minutes.

Just a spoonful

of sugar, children.

Now we will all journey

to the other side.

I will be your guide.

And since I cannot

bring you all back at once,

we will use the antidote

that brought me back

my first time.

And when we return

to our bodies,

we will have a power

without measure,

as you witnessed

within me.

And we will use

this power wisely

to release every soul

from its mortal coil.

Sam.

Without death in our lives,

there's no need for fear.

Children.

No! No.

Give me the cubes.

Give them to me.

Don't put them

in your mouth.

Don't eat them.

Sister. Sister.

Be calm, sister.

Tormented and frightened

is your soul.

Please don't do this

to our children, Jim.

You're their father.

Jim's your dad.

Should we abandon

our path?

No! No.

How many times

must I die for you, Karen?

Please, Jim, I'm scared.

Matthew said,

"and fear not them

which kill the body,

but are not able

to kill the soul."

Jim. No, Jim, no!

Jim!

Kids, don't eat them.

No, Jim!

Children, I love you.

Now, do as I say.

No! Kids, don't do it.

Kids, don't eat them.

Jim, stop.

No, kids, don't eat them.

Sam,

get the antidote ready!

- No!

- Silence!

Sam!

Continue, children.

Jim, no! No!

We don't have to do this!

- Return!

Now, mama, please.

Mama, please, please

don't do this.

Don't do this.

There's nothing to death.

It's just a crossing over

to another plane.

Please, mama, please.

We shall all rise up,

and we will rub the dust

of a thousand years

from our eyes.

Sarah, come on.

Jim!

She's getting away!

Sarah, run and hide!

Run!

Hide!

Jim!

Those who will not follow

shall be carried.

Stop!

Stop!

No!

This is my body.

This is my blood.

No!

Shh.

She is the flame of life,

the power of darkness.

Let her go.

Sarah!

Sarah!

Brothers,

sisters.

...and fear not them

which kill the body--

...shocked to realize--

supreme desire,

supreme deity.

Supreme change.

There is no joy

without suffering.

Be ready

with the antidote, Sam.

What is it that we bury

in the tomb of the--

Sam, the children,

the children.

Please.

The antidote.

Do it now.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

- Come on.
