"You just have to trust me." "Aren't you rolling?" "You don't even have the damn thing plugged in." "I've invited some cameras to film our little sermon here today." "'Cause people have been asking, "What's going on over there at Heaven's Veil?" "What are they doing up there at that ranch?" "Are they being held against their will?"" " Are you a prisoner here?" " No." " Are you a prisoner here?" " No." "No." "Just smile for the camera, people." "Wave." "Give me this Bible." "This Bible..." "This here book, this is a tool, people." "And as such, it only has the power that we ascribe to it." "But you, you are something much different." "Your body is of the earth, yes, but you are not your body." "You are mightier than the flesh." "We don't need no book to tell us about the soul!" " (gasping, cheering)" " Did you see any lightning come down out of that sky?"

" ANN:" "Nick, it's not a ghost." " You don't believe in ghosts?" "And watch this part." "MAGGIE:" "That's where Ed was sleeping." "The van's gone." " It's gone." " What do you mean it's gone?" "What?" "CHRISTIAN:" "Let's have a look." "CHRISTIAN:" "Oh, what the fuck?" " This isn't like him." " I know." "He's a grumpy fucker, but he's not a quitter."

" What do we do?" "Go back?" " No." "We have, like, 80 grand worth of equipment in there." " That's 80 grand we do not have." " Yeah, exactly." "Well, someone's gotta go down for some help." "Me?" "Yeah." "You're the PA." "You're gonna send me down there to walk 20 miles, probably till dark?" "Don't exaggerate." "It's 16 miles. (scoffs) This one." "Ann, it's okay." "Nick will go." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." " Matt'll cover for you." "You'll be down before dark." " Yeah." "Well, thanks, pal." " (scoffs) Fine." " No, wait." "I'll come with you." "Oh." "I thought you didn't wanna go." "It's better than staying up here with that creepy farmer guy out there." " (laughs) All right." " What?" " Be careful." " Yeah, I'll keep an eye out for inbred farmers." "No, Nick, she needs to be careful of you." "Oh!" " Ow, Maggie." "Ow." " Stop it." "Let's set up the next interview by the church." " You gonna need both cameras?" " Yeah." "We need to go across the lake." "Hmm?" "Across the lake?" "I remembered something." "Are you seeing this?" "It's a strip that's shallow." "Come on." "Goes all the way across." "Let's go." "Sarah?" "Where are we going?" "To that place." "And you think this is it?" "I remember it now." "It was Jim's special place." " (groans) - (coughing)" "Ugh." "(inhales, exhales)" "No lights." "(gasps)" " I hate rats." " Not my favorite either." "(squeaking)" "Oh, I have another one right here in my pack." "It's, like..." "It's inside, in, like, the flashlight pouch." "Right there." "(all chattering)" "Here they are." "These are the films you were looking for." "Whoa!" "Sarah, are you okay?" "Wha..." "Yeah."

"Come here." "Come here." " (groaning, muttering)" " Give me your hand." "(coughing, retching)" " Sarah." "Sarah!" " (groaning continues)" " Here we go." " Fuck." "(gasping) Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Well, Maggie, clearly nobody ever found this place." "There's no way we would have found this place if it wasn't for her." "What do you think?" "We're gonna need to get some lights on in there." "It's actually in pretty good shape." "If it's got fuel." " Here we go." " Careful." "(cranking, sputtering)" "(engine starts)" "Let's check it out." "(switch clicking)" " Oh!" "God!" " God." "(exhales) Why don't you try another switch?" "Why don't you try another switch?" "JILL:" "Ugh." "Here they are." "We can watch 'em if I can get this to work." "MAGGIE:" "Look at this." "JILL:" "What?" "Oh, wow." "No, no, no!" "Don't touch that." "I'm sorry." "It's just that it's next to a body and it's probably evidence of some kind of crime, and if you touch it with all your hands..." "Whatever is on this tape..." "Should go to the police because it's evidence." " We're not gonna take it to the police." " M-Maybe we should." " But n-not right away." " I don't really wanna argue next to a body." "All right, we should..." "It's entirely decomposed." "JILL:" "Okay, if you wanna enable yourself into doing whatever you do." "That's Karen Sweetzer, the nurse that followed Jim." "The one they never found." "(Karen gasping) I got away." "They..." "They tried to get me." "But I got away." "When did she record this?" "Must be after the FBI raid." "They're gonna..." "They're gonna come get me." "They wanna control me like I'm a puppet." "(sobbing) They want in, but I'm not gonna let anybody in." "Do you hear that, Jim?" "I will not let anybody in." "I didn't come here to be taken." "Even if they get in, they won't get me." "(gasping)" "Sarah." "I want you to... (gasping continues) ch... ch... (choking, groaning)" "Sh-She looked, like, um, drugged, you know." "Yeah." "She's so manic." "I mean, so paranoid." "What was she talking about?" "That the FBI was gonna use her like a puppet?" "She was so loyal to the end." "(TV: voices whispering)" "I have become what never fails." "And the dead shall be raised incorruptible." "And we shall be changed." "We need to watch the rest of those films." " You got the whole thing in frame?" " Yeah, it looks great." "It works." "We just need a new bulb." "Sure there's a Kmart around." "Oh, look at this." "MAGGIE: "Pancuronium bromide."" "It's for lethal injections." "It halts the respiratory system." "Your lungs stop working." "You suffocate." "Hey." "Hey." "Be careful with those." "They don't have needle guards." "Seriously?" "Why are you touching needles?" " Sorry." " Don't touch..." " Don't touch anything." " Sorry." "I wasn't gonna touch the top." "Jim's room." "Seems about right." "Ugh." "Fuck station Partridge Family." "Why don't we just go back down to the compound, wait for Nick and Ann, figure everything out there?" "How about we just look for the projector bulbs?" " Sorry." " (sighs)" "CHRISTIAN:" "Projector bulb!" "Okay, I loaded up the earliest film." " All right." "Rolling." " Here we go." " (camera whirring)" " All right, is it filming?" "WOMAN:" "Uh, yeah, I hear it." "Well, when we get the new cameras we'll be able to check it right away." "And how are they different?" "Uh, they're new video cameras." "You can buy the tapes at the supermarket... $24.99." "You don't have to send it all in to Kodak and..." "I-I..." "WOMAN:" "Okay, Jim." "Whenever you're ready." "(inhales)" "This is film number one." "I'm Jim Jacobs, and we are here at Heaven's Veil ranch." "It's December 11, 1982." "When we started here, there was just a few of us." "Small group of seven." "A family." "There's a small town in Indiana." "Whenever I think of it, a great deal of pain comes." "As a child, I was undoubtedly one of the poor." "Never accepted." "Born, as it were, on the wrong side of the tracks." "And when I was very small," "I lost my father and my mother to an unholy fire, they tell me." "I knew too early the pain of suffering, the pain of loss." "But tragedy can beget transformation." "I believe that mankind is on the cusp of a new reality, one that transcends pain, suffering, even death." "I've discovered that the spiritual nature is attached to the human form at certain points, represented by the three nails of the crucifixion." "And by three alchemical initiations," "I can now draw these nails and permit the divine nature of man to come down from its cross." "I can release the nails that pin the spirit to the body and free the soul from its mortal coil." "Jim is in a meditative state." "Once he reaches full trance, he will leave his body in the physical form and he'll manifest himself in spirit in this room." "Father?" "Father, are you here?" "Father, if you are here, reach out to us." "Reach out to us, Jim." "(gasping)" " Jim?" " (gasping continues)" " I don't think he's breathing." " Jim, come back to us." "Jim, come back to us." "Focus." " (gasps)" " There you go." "There you go." "Slow, controlled." " (inhales deeply)" " Okay." "That's good." "Mommy." "Mommy." "What happened?" "Sarah." "Come here." " Okay." " Is he okay?" " Yeah, he's okay." "What are you doing up?" " I was playing, Mom." "Okay, come." "Time to go to bed." "She was my mom." "Karen Sweetzer was..." "So horrible." "I mean..." "Ugh." "So sad for her, and so gruesome." "You know?" "I just think, deep down, maybe she was hoping her mom was still alive somewhere." "Mom." "I guess you were my mom." "I am so sorry this happened to you." "I feel like... like something wanted me to come back here," "to bring them here with me, but I..." "Something about it feels so wrong." "(screaming)" "(Sarah screaming)" "Sarah!" "Sarah?" " Sarah!" " (screaming continues)" " (sobbing, whimpering)" " What happened?" "What happened?" " What happened?" " (sobbing continues)" "What happened?" "SARAH (whispers):" "Nothing happened." "Nothing happened." " ANN:" "Help us!" "Help!" " NICK:" "Matt!" " Please!" " NICK:" "Guys!" "We need help!" " Do you hear that?" " MATT:" "It's Nick." "Help!" " NICK:" "Maggie!" " ANN:" "Maggie!" " Ann?" " Maggie!" " What is it?" "What?" " (whimpering, sobbing)" "Ed." " Oh, God." " Oh, my God." "Oh." "He must have been doing 90." "I guess he missed that curve." " Why was he going so fast?" " Someone was in the car with him." "No one was in the car with him." "That doesn't make any sense." "What are you talking about?" "Who was in the car with him?" "Go ahead." "Tell her your theory." "The other air bag blew." "Look!" "It doesn't matter though." "One blows, they both blow." "That's how it works." "Besides, who's gonna come up here?" "Someone hiked 16 miles to steal a shitty van, and Ed gives his life to stop 'em?" "Goddamn it, you guys." "I can't believe this." "Did you..." "Did you check him?" " I mean, he's for sure dead?" " Yeah." " Are you sure?" " Feel free to check him again, Maggie." " (sighs) - (Jill sobs)" " Oh, God." " Shit." " So we go to the cops, right?" " Yes." "Yes, we go to the cops when we can." "There's no way we can make it there by dawn." " And that farmer's still out there." " JILL:" "Seriously?" "Farmer John did not kill Ed, okay?" "It's 12 miles down to the main road, and then it's another 20 miles to, like, the nearest anything." "Do you guys wanna walk down in the dark, or..." "What about Ed?" "(door opens)" "(sighs) Oh, God." "We'll leave in the morning." "Yeah." "Do you remember your mom at all?" "I can't remember." "I did always feel like she wanted me back, for us to be a family again." "Maybe it's just wishful thinking." "I don't know, I... (sighs)" "I do feel like the answers are in that house." "I do too." "You wanna go back?" "I do." "Maggie, I thought we just decided that we were leaving." "We are." "In the morning." "We're gonna go back to the house and watch those films." "Who's coming with?" "Christian, come on." "Yeah, no, I was coming." "I was totally coming." "Anyone else?" "All right." "I guess, uh, see you guys in the morning." "Seriously?" "You guys aren't a little curious?" "No." "Not really." "Wait up." "All right, well, I'm not babysitting." " Nick, wait." " Oh, come on." "(sighs)" "Hey, I know you guys are really tired, but I kinda need one more thing." " Can you grab some B-roll for me?" " Now?" "Please." "You are obsessed." "Look, Maggie, how far are we gonna go with this?" "We lost our family because of this." "So did she." "So as far as we need to." "Right?" "Okay." " We good?" " Yeah." "To be released and come back." "Released and come back." "This is the loop that we must close." "I must journey to the other side, where I will extract the first nail, and then I must return through the golden door... (inhales) into my body." "Karen is preparing the first injection." "It's a little cocktail of my own making." "There's some luminous ether in there, some bismuth... (clears throat) sodium pentothal." "(inhales)" "Some mercury." "Yes, it's quite poisonous." "Why did you create this drug, Jim?" "Um," "I'm having trouble..." "I'm having trouble conjugating." "Re-conjugating." "KAREN:" "Re-conjugating?" "(sighs)" "(mumbling)" " (voices whispering)" " Do you hear that?" "Yeah." "I can't see where it's coming from." "It's not from the film." "Could be from another room?" "Communicate with us." "We're here for you." "Push through, Jim." "Push through." "Come through to us." "Push through, Jim." "Push through." "(shrieking)" "(gasps)" "(Jim's voice) Hello, brothers and sisters." "It's a beautiful day." "Jim, is that you?" "The body is nothing but a shell." "A cycle of physical ego for us to outgrow and discard as we please." "(gasps)" "(inhales deeply)" "The first nail is ours." "(applauding)" "Now what?" "(voices whispering)" "I'm not staying in here." "(tool ratcheting)" " What do you think?" " I don't know." "Oh, shit." "Spark plug's fried." "I don't even think they make this kind anymore." "I think I saw some spark plugs in the pantry." "Great." "(scoffs)" "No, no, I'll go." "Thank you, Nick." "MAGGIE:" "Thank you, Nick." "Yeah, I'll say hi to Jim for ya." "They look like this." "Oh, like a spark plug?" "Yeah, thanks, Matt." "(door closes)" "(footsteps)" "(footsteps)" "Somebody here?" "(door closes)" "Okay, if there's somebody here, show yourself." "All right, look." "We're not here to hurt you, okay?" "What do you want?" "(whispering) Sarah." "I said, what do you want?" "(screaming)" "What's taking him so long?" "Hey, Maggie." "If we can fix the generator, we're going home, right?" "Where's Sarah?" " Sarah!" " CHRISTIAN:" "Sarah?" " Nick!" " Sarah?" "We don't have time for this." "Nick, stop dicking around." "Nick, come on." "This isn't funny, man." " He went out to the gennie." " Jesus!" "Sarah, you scared the shit out of me." "It just..." "It just came back on." "I didn't even touch it." "Yeah, it was a breaker inside." "I really don't wanna go back inside." "It's just too..." "Too weird?" " Too creepy?" "Too scary?" " Nick!" "Stop." " I'm serious." " I know, I know." "Come here." "(chuckles)" "Uh, we should probably go... (grunts)" "Let's use this one." "Was that from March of '80?" "Yeah." "Where the hell are Ann and Nick?" "Right here." "Oh, hey." "Can you please take these mikes and put 'em in the other rooms?" " I wanna see what we can pick up." " Sure." "No problem." "Great." "Thanks." "Turn 'em on." "I just changed the batteries." "You got it." "To be released and come back..." "I have refined the formula to take us further to the other side." "The venom from the African black mamba is a potent neurotoxin." "Mixed with pancuronium bromide, which is a lethal agent used to execute death row inmates." "Just two drops will stop the heart in 60 seconds." "After six minutes, brain death." "Without an antidote, the death rate is 100%." "(murmuring)" "This is the antidote." "This will bring Jim back to us." "Now, do not, under any circumstances, administer the antidote before the full six minutes." "Set the timer, Sam." "Long enough to dance with death, not so long as to marry her." "(exhales)" "He had an antidote." " Would that even work?" " It could." "If done in time." "Jim?" "Jim, speak to us." "Jim, speak to us." " (grunts)" " Oh, my God, Jim." " I don't have a heartbeat, Karen." " Oh, God." "Jim, come on." " WOMAN:" "Give him the antidote now!" " MAN:" "Use the antidote!" "Wait." "He said to wait six minutes." " MAN:" "Don't wait!" "Do it now!" " Jim, hang on, okay?" "You're so close." "(gasping)" "Jim!" " (coughing)" " Jim." "Jim." "It's me." " Karen." " It's me." "I thought we lost you." "Karen." "Oh, my..." "My brothers, we have removed the second nail." "I have been reborn." " I have been reborn." " (applause)" "My brothers, sisters, I must confess." "I'm not strong enough to go back there on my own." "(video camera beeps)" " Now we know." " Yeah, he's a fucking psycho." "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 shit." "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." "(voices whispering)" "(whispering continues)" "(faint shrieking, whispering continues)" "Guys, what the fuck was that?" "It's haunted!" "This place is haunted!" "Enough is enough, Maggie." "Let's get the fuck out of here." "We will, I promise." " But we just..." " But what, Maggie?" "Let's just load up our shit and go." "Why are we still talking about this?" " But we're so close." " Close?" "Close to what, Maggie?" "We can't leave." "(frustrated sigh)" "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." "(sighs) Shit." "Let's digitize the rest of the films, and we'll leave at sunrise." "CHRISTIAN:" "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." "(beeps)" "(typing)" "Okay." "Mom." "Can you speak to us?" "I know you're here." "(faint whispering) I'm here." "I'm here." "So talk to me." "You wanted me." "Here I am." "(girl's voice) Bring them to us." "I've tried." "Sarah." "I need you." "(gasps)" "As soon as I get home, I'm gonna give my résumé 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." " Shit!" "Jill?" "Jill?" "Hey, wait, wait!" "Jill!" "(panting) Where did he go?" "Ed?" "Where did he go?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, God." " Matt?" " Yeah?" "I think maybe... (gasps)" " (coughs)" " Oh, my God!" "Ed!" "Shit!" "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 fuck up!" " I got it, I got it." "Okay." "We're gonna switch." " One, two, three, go." " (coughs)" "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." " (wheezing)" "Okay." "Hang on, Ed." "One second." "Okay." "I'm coming." "I'm coming back, all right?" "Shit." "(gasps, screaming) Help!" "(gasping, screaming)" "(screaming continues)" "Stop!" "Help!" "Please!" "(water sloshing)" "Sarah!" "Sarah!" "Sarah!" "Where are you?" "I came back." "Like you asked me to." "Here I am." "Sarah!" "(low voice whispers)" "(voices whispering)" "(gasps)" "Sarah!" "Fuck!" "Christian." "Christian?" "(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, 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." "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." "(on tape) What is it that we bury in the tomb of the... (sirens approaching)" "Sam, the children, the children." "Please." "The antidote." "Do it now." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." " Come on." " MAN:" "Stay away from the children!" " I'm not killing her!" " (gunshot)" "No!" "No, Sam!" "The children!" "Sam!" "No, Sam, please!" " Please." " (siren wailing)" "Get away from the children!" "Put your hands behind your head!" "You'll rise." "You'll rise again." "Please." " Rise, children!" " Get up and put your hands behind your head, now!" "Your hands where we can see 'em!" "What have you done?" "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." "(thunderclaps)" "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?" "(gasps) Aaah!" "Get the fuck off me!" "No!" "Please, no!" "It wasn't his fault!" "He didn't know!" "I didn't know." "Why is this happening?" "Why?" "(voices murmuring)" " (gasps) - (thunderclap)" "Release the body... (screaming) that pins the spirit, that frees the soul from its mortal coil." "(screaming, crying)" "My will be done." "(sirens approaching)" "(sirens stop)" " (police radio chatter)" " Ed?" "Jill?" "Maggie!" "Don't worry." "They're not dead." "He's gonna bring them back." "No." "No." "You okay?" "Mr. Williams, you all right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "The veil has been lifted, and the fallen shall rise." "(roaring)" "(screaming)" "(gunshots)" "Children of the void, sons of chaos, it is the last hour." "The hebdomad is complete." "We have been remade by Yaldabaoth in the image of the Seven Archons who created and enslaved this world." "We are the hidden masters." "We are the architects of anarchy." "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!" "We just, uh, need new shells from time to time and plenty of souls to eat." "Our legion will rise from behind the veil to reap the pain that we have wrought!" "The Seven shall become a vast multitude." "These are the days of vengeance and wrath!" "The deathless eon has begun!" "It's a beautiful day."
