"MARIE:" "Cool cabin." "MAX:" "Yeah, seriously." "Jessie, I don't blame you for getting spooked." "If I was out here all by myself, I'd be pretty freaked out." "Dude, Max, not helping man." "MARIE:" "Yeah, Jessie." "What's up?" "Brian said you were a little on edge." "Well, Brian wasn't supposed to say anything." "Thanks." "Jessie, seriously, you see some freaky shit out here?" "Yeah." "These past few days have been the weirdest fucking days of my life." "Well, in that case, let's get wasted." "MAX:" "That's what I'm talking about." "You guys are killing me." "(Indistinct chattering)" "(Coughing)" "Lightweight." "Whatever." "I've been smoking a lot longer than you have, babe." "Wow, how proud you must be." "Hey." "You want another beer, Brian?" "Yeah." "So, baby..." "Hmm?" "How's the book?" "MARIE:" "Yeah, tell us." "It's good." "It's coming along, I guess." "Here you go." "BRIAN:" "What are you doing?" "Okay, back." "You'll get cut off." "Why?" "I'm not driving." "As if that would stop you." "Right, Mr. DUI." "Hey, I only have one DUI, and it was four years ago." "And it was bullshit." "Dad said you blew a .25." "It's not that high." "It's not" "It's three times the legal limit." "Yeah." "You were probably seeing double." "Yeah, that's why you go to drive with one eye shut." "when the paramedics are scraping your body off the pavement." "They're not going to be scraping me." "They're going to be scraping you." "A drunk driver never dies." "You're such an asshole." "Yeah, why is that?" "What?" "Why is it that the drunk driver never gets hurt?" "Because when you're drunk" "And you don't tense up and then, you know, break a bone." "Those acts of God really salt the wounds, huh?" "I don't know if you can blame God for that." "Some asshole drinking too much Jãger and getting behind the wheel?" "MAX:" "God allowed it to happen." "Maybe God had nothing to do with it." "Maybe it was the devil." "(Snickering)" "What, you believe in God but you don't believe in the devil?" "I didn't say I believed in either." "That's a cop-out." "Whatever." "It is what it is." "Do you believe in the devil?" "Well, if there's a God there has to be a devil." "Everything has an opposite, right?" "I mean, for every good Samaritan in the world you have, at the other end, some sick fucking pedophile." "So, yeah." "I guess I do." "MAX:" "Jesus Christ." "BRIAN:" "Fuck." "Oh, now you're a believer, huh?" "Scared the shit out of me." "(Wind gusting)" "MARIE:" "Okay, on that note, let's go to bed." "Why?" "Because of a little wind?" "No, because you're getting too drunk." "I want to fuck." "Oh, well, when you put it that way." "MARIE:" "Come on." "You guys can use the bedroom in the back." "Don't do anything we wouldn't do, big brother." "Yeah, that's not saying much." "(Max laughing) Good night, you two." "JESSIE:" "Good night." "(Sighing)" "Mad at me that I brought them?" "No." "It's nice to have company." "You..." "You had me worried on the phone." "Are you okay?" "I am now." "I'm so glad that you're here." "Me too." "♪" "Max." "What the fuck?" "I just saw something out the window." "(Sighing)" "You're tripping." "Max, I'm serious." "I don't see shit." "I swear to God I saw something." "Babe, it's just the woods." "Makes you see all kinds of shit." "You stay out here long enough, you're going to start tripping like Jessie did." "I'm going to go take a piss." "Max, just be quick, okay?" "I will." "(Door closing)" "(Glass breaking)" "Guys?" "♪" "Damn it, Marie." "Didn't you hear me knock?" "Hey." "Where's Max?" "Have you seen these?" "Seen what?" "I found them in the frame." "(Gasping)" "Oh, my God." "MARIE:" "Jessie, what is it?" "It's her." "Who?" "Alix." "Who the hell's Alix?" "(Gasping)" "Jessie, what's happening?" "(Distant screaming) Max?" "Oh, my God." "That was him." "Brian!" "Jesus." "What?" "Brian, it's Max." "What?" "We heard screaming." "What?" "He's not in the house." "I looked everywhere." "All right, okay, calm down, calm down." "Calm down." "It's probably just another one of his pranks." "He stumbled off drunk somewhere." "Either way, I am going to kick his ass." "Brian, what are you doing?" "What do you mean what am I" "I'm going to go out and find his dumb ass." "What if it's not a prank?" "What?" "Brian, what if it's not a prank?" "What do you think?" "Something dragged him out of here?" "(Sniffling) Oh, Christ, Jessie, he is probably passed out in a bush somewhere." "He's fine." "We heard screaming." "Look, just stay here, all right?" "He's fine." "Brian, please." "He couldn't have gone far." "Wait." "Brian, please." "Guys, he is fine." "I will find him." "All right?" "I will be right back." "Promise?" "Yes." "Max!" "Where are you, man?" "Max?" "Come on, man." "Max!" "Max, where are you, man?" "Max?" "Jessie?" "Yeah?" "What did you see on those newspapers?" "(Brian screaming) Oh, my God." "It's Brian." "Brian?" "!" "(Brian screaming) (Gasping)" "That's him!" "Jessie, don't leave me." "Stay here." "Lock the doors, and I'll be right back." "Jessie, please." "(Breathing heavily)" "Brian!" "Max?" "!" "Brian?" "Max?" "Brian!" "(Brian screaming) Brian!" "(Screaming)" "Brian, where are you?" "!" "Brian?" "Brian?" "Brian!" "Brian!" "(Gasping)" "Oh, Brian!" "(Sobbing):" "No!" "Please!" "Please!" "Oh, my God!" "No!" "Aah!" "Marie?" "Leah?" "You're here, aren't you, Leah?" "(Clock chiming) (Gasping)" "(Gasping)" "Why don't you show yourself!" "(Chiming)" "(Gasping)" "(Sighing)" "What do you want from me?" "Why are you doing this?" "MAN:" "In the name of the Father..." "(Knocking) ...and of the Son... and the Holy Ghost." "In the name of the Father and of the Son... (Grunting and screaming) ...and of the Holy Ghost," "I command you out." "Leave me alone!" "In the name of Jesus." "I order you, unclean spirit, out of this child." "And by the name of God, the almighty creator, I cast you out!" "Jessie." "I'll fucking..." "IN DEEP, DISTORTED VOICE:" "...kill you." "she got possessed out in these woods." "JESSIE:" "Who was she?" "GEORGE:" "Well, it don't matter who it was." "(Girl grunting)" "(Door creaking)" "(Sobbing)" "(Gasping)" "Hello, Jessie." "Who are you?" "I'm Leah, at least for the time being." "Did they think they were going to get rid of me that easily?" "I don't understand." "You really don't remember meeting me, Jessie?" "You were my first." "You let me in." "And then they had to go and call that fucking priest." "He drove me out of you, and you got away." "But I wasn't going anywhere." "So I hung around, feeding on the souls of the living." "There were those two sluts in the woods." "I must say, I enjoyed them fairly well." "And then your uncle brought that little bitch Leah along." "I used her the same way I used you." "(Panting)" "And finally... (Gasping and screaming) ...I found my way back into another body." "But I've always wanted you back, Jessie." "For years, I tried to get you to come." "Yeah." "She wrote you a tonne of letters." "She really wanted you to visit." "How did you know that?" "She told me." "I knew you'd come eventually if I got rid of your aunt." "And now I've got you back, Jessie." "I'm tired of this little slut spot." "(Gasping)" "Now I have you." "Forever." "(Gasping)" "(Hissing)" "(Grunting)" "Help... (Wheezing lightly) ...me." "(Sobbing)" "(Gasping)" "(Sobbing)" "(Crying)" "Thank you." "(Gasping)" "I'm sorry." "(Sighing)" "(Phone line ringing)" "(Phone line ringing)" "George." "George, it's Jessie." "I'm at the cabin." "Please." "It killed them." "I need you to come." "George, can you hear me?" "Please help me." "I killed Leah." "George, can you hear me?" "(Doorknob rattling)" "IN DEEP, DISTORTED VOICE:" "I've been waiting a long time for this, Jessie." "(Screaming)" "(Groaning)" "(Laughing)" "(Gasping)" "(Groaning)" "(Gasping)" "Now I have you." "(Wheezing)" "And I'm not just going to take your body." "I'm going to swallow your soul." "(Laughing)" "Swallow this, you fuck!" "(Gasping)" "(Screaming)" "(Sobbing)" "(Shrieking)" "(Sobbing)" "Jessie." "You're safe now." "(Screaming)" "(Crying)" "♪" "Do you believe in the devil, George?" "GEORGE:" "Oh, I suppose everything has an opposite." "JESSIE:" "Who are you?" "GEORGE:" "I told you, Jess." "I'm the caretaker." "♪" "Here you go." "Thanks." "Hi." "This is so exciting." "I'm a really big fan." "Oh, thank you." "Make it out to Susan, please." "Okay." "SUSAN:" "Sometimes I feel like when I'm reading your work it's like it really happened." "It's silly, but..." "Of course." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Nice to meet you." "Can you sign an autograph for my daughter?" "Yes." "Do you have a book?" "No." "No, that's okay." "I was hoping you could sign this." "She made me come here."
