"In 1400 B.C., a group of nervous Egyptians saw the Nile turn red." "Oh, God." "Come on." "But what they thought was blood was actually an algae bloom which killed the fish, which prior to that had been living off the eggs of frogs." "Those uneaten eggs turned into record numbers of baby frogs who subsequently fled to land and died." " Right." "Their little rotting frog bodies attracted lice and flies." "The lice carried the bluetongue virus, which killed 70 percent of Egypt's livestock." "The flies carried glanders, a bacterial infection which in humans causes boils." "After, the Nile River Valley was hit with a three-day sandstorm otherwise known as the plague of darkness." " Katherine." " During the sandstorm, heat can combine with an approaching cold front to create not only hail, but electrical storms which would have looked to the Egyptians like fire from the sky." "The wind would've blown the Ethiopian locust population off course and right into downtown Cairo." "Hail is wet, locusts leave droppings spread both on grain, and you've got mycotoxins." "Dinnertime in Egypt meant the first-born got the biggest portion which meant he ate the most toxins, so he died." "Ten plagues." "Ten scientific explanations." "Gotta wash up."

"Which is where and how he was when I got there." "And there wasn't a mark on him." "Somebody just snuck up and stole the life right out of him." "That doesn't mean Loren did it." "Loren, her mother or one of their degenerate friends." "There's something unnatural." "I want it stopped." "Hear me?" "Stopped before God ups and makes an example out of this whole town." "What do you mean by "unnatural"?" "It was Wake's wife what saw it." "Last Christmas Brynn and some of the other ladies brought cookies out to the McConnells." "Community outreach or something."

" This just came." " I need..." "Just read it." "DOUG:" "What is it?" "CADE:" "It's a lab result." "BEN:" "Yeah, from the water samples we sent in." "It's human blood." "The whole damn river." "BEN:" "That's a two-mile stretch of river." "That's damn near 2, 300,000 bodies' worth of blood." "DOUG:" "Could these reports be wrong?" " No." "I need to make a call." "[RINGS]" "Hello?" "DOUG:" "Where you headed, Cade?" " The McConnells'." "Where do you think?" " We need to evacuate." "Loren McConnell isn't going anywhere." "These people are in danger." " Only the mayor can authorize evacuation." " Where is he?" "KATHERINE:" "I need to know what to do before this little girl is murdered." "COSTIGAN:" "The symbol you're seeing is part of a prophecy that predates Christ which tells of an ancient satanic sect." "Their first-born are branded and left unharmed to carry on the genetic line." "But all of the second-born thereafter are to be sacrificed." " Sacrificed to please Satan?" " It happens when the child reaches puberty." "Puberty?" "But that can't be right." "This little girl, Loren, she's a second-born, and if she is a part of this cult why hasn't she been sacrificed yet?" "COSTIGAN:" "Wait." "Yes, it says here:" ""For all their sacrifice, they shall reap a perfect child  a second-born, who upon coming into adulthood shall be reborn with the eyes of Satan."" "So you're saying this girl is the one they've been trying to create?" "Yes." "A child in Satan's image." "But what does this have to do with plagues?" "COSTIGAN:" "Lucifer has often turned God's weapons against the righteous." "He's protecting the girl." "If you'd seen this girl, you couldn't believe..." "I understand your compassion." "But this girl..." "You've already seen the evil she's capable of." "You're in great danger, Katherine." "Everyone is." "This girl could be the beginning." "Haven could be the start of it all." "Hello?" "DOUG:" "Brooks?" "And there shall be boils breaking forth upon man and upon beast." "COSTIGAN:" ""At the height of their power God shall send forth an angel to destroy them."" "Perhaps this angel is you." " I don't think so, Michael." " You don't understand." ""Angel" can sometimes be a metaphor for people of the cloth, the ordained." "The cult will be powerless against you." "You could stop them." "No." "It's a convoluted, contradictory, nonsensical legend." "It's not a prophecy." "You're telling me to join a bloodthirsty crowd and lynch a 12-year-old girl." "What if God has chosen you and the girl is in fact a channel for the Fallen One?" " You must destroy her." " If you're wrong, an innocent child dies." "And if I'm right, many more will die." "The symbol is your proof." "Branded on their first-born, protecting their places of worship marked on their sacrificial chambers." "You've seen it." "Open the door, Katherine, and you'll believe it." "You'll know." "You've gotta destroy her, Katherine!" "Michael." "Michael?" "[DIAL TONE]" "Help!" "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "COSTIGAN:" "Help!" "Help!" "[ALARM RINGING]" "Help!" "[EXPLOSION]" "Guns can't solve this, Gordon." "Is that right?" "Don't forget the shells." " I'm not going without." " Shouldn't be going at all." " Let me tell you..." " Just leave Hank out of this." " The car's gone and so is Katherine." " Shit." "You're gonna do this?" "You really think you can kill that girl?" "I'm gonna do what needs to be done." "ISABELLE:" "Gordon, you watch him out there, all right?" "[MEN SHOUTING]" "[SIRENS WAILING]" "[WIND CHIMES TINKLING]" "[CRYING]" "Loren?" "Where's your daughter?" " I didn't understand what would happen." " Tell me where she is." "She's gone over." "KATHERINE:" "What?" "He controls her now." "Whatever he wants she does." "My part's done." "No." " I failed." " I failed too." "No." "I imagine there's something after." "[GUN COCKS]" "Wait." "[GUNSHOT]" "[FOOTSTEPS]" "BEN [OVER PHONE]:" "Katherine?" "Do you copy?" "BEN:" "Katherine." "Nothing." "[CARS APPROACHING] [SIRENS WAILING]" "[MEN SHOUTING]" "[LOCUSTS CHITTERING]" "[MEN CHATTERING]" "What are we gonna do, Dad?" "We're gonna do what we come out here to do, boy." "Gordon." "[ALL YELLING]" "[MAN COUGHING]" "[SCREAMING]" "[GRUNTING]" "BEN:" "Katherine!" "Katherine!" "Get inside!" "Get inside!" "Dad!" "Doug!" "[DOUG YELLS]" "[DOOR RATTLING]" "[BEN GRUNTING]" "[GASPING]" "Ben?" "Katherine." "Are you okay?" "Where are you?" "I'm in some sort of a crypt." "By the ruins?" "Where's Doug?" "He's still out there." "I'm so sorry." "I was so wrong." "Katherine, look, forget about it." "Let's just get out of here before the final three plagues." "BEN:" "Oh!" "KATHERINE:" "Ben?" "BEN:" "Katherine." "There are bodies of children hanging down here." "Wait a second." "They're all children." "They're all children." "Get out of there now." "Meet me at the truck." "And please be careful." "BEN [OVER PHONE]:" "Katherine." "KATHERINE:" "Ben." "She's outside." "I'm trapped." "Okay." "Okay." "I gotta find..." "I gotta find another way out of here." "[GRUNT OVER PHONE]" "Ben?" "Ben?" "No, no, no." "No." "Ben?" "[SOBBING]" "[FOOTSTEPS]" "It's me." "I didn't mean to scare you." "I saw her out there." "I had to hide in the swamp." "What are we gonna do, huh?" "You stay here." "She trusts me." "I have to end this." "[BIRD SCREECHING]" "[BIRDS SCREECHING AND CHIRPING]" "Hi." "[THUNDER RUMBLING AND CRASHING]" "I used to have a little girl who looked just like you." "I wanna take you away from here." "Okay?" "[LOREN GRUNTING]" "[SCREAMING]" "Just be still." "[ALL CHANTING]" "I'm so lucky." "Why?" "Because, silly..." "God gave me you." " God gave me you." "How do I know?" "How do we know what's real?" "Faith." "Mama, stop!" "[LOREN SCREAMING]" "Hold still." "Brody, go!" "Loren!" "[LOREN SCREAMING]" "COSTIGAN:" ""At the height of their power  God shall send forth an angel to destroy them. "" "[LOREN CRYING]" "[THUNDER CRASHING]" "DOUG:" "She's tricked you, hasn't she?" "She's perverting your faith through lies now." "That's how Satan works, you know?" "Now, please, you kill her." "I'm a first-born." "And you know what plague comes next." "COSTIGAN:" "Their first-born are branded and left unharmed to carry on the genetic line." "I come from a long line of only children." " It's number two for both of us." " Know what you're having?" "Heck, doesn't matter to me." "Are you gonna kill my baby girl?" "KATHERINE:" "No." "Why not?" "Katherine, please kill her before it's too late." "KATHERINE:" "You do it." "You can't do it, can you?" "Because you already tried and she survived." "No, that's not true." "KATHERINE:" "You deceived me so I would murder her." "This..." "This innocent child." "DOUG:" "She's not innocent, Katherine." "Look what she's done already." "You're seeing with your own eyes." "You killed Ben so I would blame her." "BEN:" "She's outside." "Okay." "Okay." "I gotta find..." "I gotta find another way out of here." "[DOUG GRUNTS]" "Come on." "[ALL CHANTING]" "The whole of Haven used to pray to God on this spot." "You know how he answered their prayers?" "With floods and devastation." "He abandoned them, so they abandoned God." "My family introduced them to the true Lord." "A powerful Lord, who hears his people's prayers." "You were ordained and you turned your back on God just like we did." "That's why we chose you." "Only a servant of God can kill his angel." "You remember what your God did to you in the Sudan?" "What about your daughter, huh?" "Now, that..." "That is your God." "Katherine." "That's not God." "God didn't kill my family." "A weak, godless man filled with fear and hatred a man like you." "There's still that last plague, Doug." "The death of the first-born." "And you come from a long line of only children." "[THUNDER CRASHING]" "You all do." "[ALL SHOUTING AND CHATTERING]" "[ALL SCREAMING]" "No!" " Now you tell her to stop or you die too." " Loren." "Don't be scared." "It's God's will." "It's okay." "It's all right." "Don't be scared." "It's okay." "Everything's gonna be okay." "I promise." "It's just the two of us now." "And we're gonna take care of each other, okay?" "What about the boy?" "What boy?" "The boy inside you." "Your baby." "I can hear him." "We'll have to take care of him too."
