"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?" "Shit."

"(PROJECTOR WHIRRING)" " 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." "(SCREAMING)" "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." "Get back, I say!" "Rise up with your spirit and feel pain no more." "And be released into eternity!" "Arise!" "Arise." "(CONGREGATION GASPING)" "Yes." "Arise." "Yes!" "The third nail's ours." "Ours for the taking!" "And immortality is yours, brother." "Forever." "Yes." "Will you follow me?" "Holy fucking shit." "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." "JIM'S VOICE:" "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." "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?" "ALL:" "No!" "No." "How many times must I die for you, Karen?" "Please, Jim, I'm scared." "JIM (ON TAPE):" "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." " (KAREN CRYING)" "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!" " (CONGREGATION GASPING)" "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." "(SCREAMING)" "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." "(COUGHING)" "Sarah!" "Sarah!" "Brothers... sisters." "(ON TAPE) ...and fear not them which kill the body shocked to realize..." "Supreme desire, supreme deity." "Supreme change." "(JIM ON TAPE, CONTINUES)" "There is no joy without suffering." "Be ready with the antidote, Sam." "(TAPE CONTINUES)" "(SIRENS APPROACHING)" "Sam, the children, the children." "Please." "The antidote." "Do it now." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on."

" What have you done, sir?" "You think you bar the way?" "You only inflame my wrath!" "Your children!" "Your children's children will be subsumed!" "You all will be subsumed!" "No one will escape my wrath!" "(GRUNTING)" "You all!" "(GROANING)" "The FBI agent... that was my dad." " He was the one that..." " Who let all those people die." "All of them." "I mean..." " (SNIFFLES) None of them..." " No." "They wouldn't have." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "(CRYING)" "I wanna be with you." "Wait for me." "They've been here, waiting... for me to come back." "They need you, all of you." " They have to." " What the fuck are you talking about?" "New vessels... to continue on in... in eternity." "Maggie, like Jim said..." "There is no joy without suffering." "Brother, sister... the sins of the father now laid upon the children." "I don't know what's happening here, but we're gonna get out of here." "Let's go, Christian." "Christian's gone, Maggie." "It's time for you to join us." " Christian?" " It's amazing, Maggie." "You'll see." "After all... who wouldn't want everlasting life?"

"We are the dark fucking soul eaters, lords of the unrighteous." "Today our new reign begins in a new reality!" "I told you!" "I told you!" "I told you we'd be deathless!"
