"Help!" "Help!" "Squad en route." "ETA two minutes." "Proceed with caution." "Over." "You sure it's the building?" "It's the one the girl pointed out." "Clear!" "Whoever was in here, they didn't leave any scraps." "Nothing." " Clear!" "She was scared." "Clear!" "Could've just pointed out the wrong building?" "Yeah." "Maybe." "Hi." "I'm Anna." "You're Lucie, right?" "That's what the sisters said." "Do you wanna play or something?" "Okay." "Bye." "Now I lay me down to sleep," "I pray the Lord my soul to keep." "If I die before I wake..." "I pray the Lord my soul to take." "Lucie." "Lucie, there's no one there." "Lucie, calm down." "It's okay." "No one's going to hurt you, dear." "Sisters, please, I need help!" "There is no monster!" "He'!" "'" "I sneak into the kitchen when Sister Rachel was doing her beads." "They're still warm." "The sisters say you've become good friends with Lucie." "Does she ever say anything about..." "About the people that hurt her?" "No." "What kind of things does Lucie tell you about, Anna?" "It's okay, child." "You can tell him." "She talks about monsters a lot." "She said they're still out there." "Monsters." "Has Lucie ever told you what her monsters look like?" "Hello?" "No." "Get out." "Anna?" "Lucie?" "It's okay." "They're not gonna hurt you anymore." "It's okay." "No one believes me." "I believe you."

"I wish I could ride a cloud." "Let it take me wherever I wanted." "Where would you want to go?" "Wherever you go." "Do you believe her?" "Do you believe the things Lucie tells you about her monsters?" "I don't know." "What's the plan for today?" "Well, I'm gonna need your rooms cleaned before anyone goes anywhere." "I'm supposed to pick up Kim in an hour." "Well, I just looked in your room." "You better call and tell her you're gonna be late, real late." "No." " I thought Katy broke up with you." "Nobody breaks up with me." "See, I don't think Katy knows that, and neither does the guy she was slobbering on at the lake last night." "Yeah, you're full of shit." " Hey!" "He says it all the time." "Not in front of me, he doesn't." "What's not in front of you?" "Brian said I was full of shit." "Well, he's probably right." "Brian, after breakfast, I'm gonna need your help downstairs." "Mom said I had to clean my room." "Well, as soon as we're done." "Isn't it Nicole's turn?" "You always let her slide." "That's because I love her more." "No!" "No!" "Emmett?" "No!" "Sit down!" "How old are you?" "How old?" "!" "I'm 17." "Did you know about the things that your parents did?" "Please." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Hello?" "Anna?" "I found them." "I need you to see them, too." "I need you, Anna." "Tell me where you are." "Lucie?" "Lucie?" "God." "I didn't have a choice." "Lucie, what did you do?" "But I had to." "I told you it was them." "No, no, no." "You said that you were gonna show me them." "You... we were gonna call the police." "The police?" "The police would not have believed us." "And you know that." "They don't care anymore." "Nobody cares anymore." "Except for you and me, Anna." "I want to show you." "That's him." "His face has changed a little bit over the years, but the eyes..." "I know those eyes." "He's the one, Anna." "And her." "It's been too long." "You can't... you don't know." "You can't be sure." " I am." "Not sure enough to do this." " It's them!" "See." "They knew." " They?" "The children." "There's more?" " There's a girl." "My God." "They knew what their parents were doing, Anna." "They're guilty, too." " No, no." "No, they're not." "Anna, you have to believe me." "You have to believe me." "Please?" " No!" "Anna, Anna!" "Please, please." "Please, believe me." "I'm sorry." "I can't help you anymore." "I'm sorry." "Anna, please?" "Anna?" "Anna!" "Wait." "Please?" "L..." "I did it." "I did it." "It's over." "I stopped them." "It's supposed to be over." "See?" "I stopped them." "Please." "No!" "Stop, please!" "Please, stop." "No!" "Stop, don't!" "No!" "No!" "It's here again, Anna." "It hurt me." "It's okay, it's okay." "I've got you, okay?" "I'm not gonna let anything hurt you anymore, okay?" "And I say unto thee, love one another." "Do not treat the stranger with disdain, but love him, embrace him, and take him into your heart." "Anna?" " What?" "Please don't ever leave me." " I won't." "Promise?" " I promise." "Shh!" "Quiet, girls." "Hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." "Give us today day our daily bread." "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever." "Amen." "Lucie, come on." "We have to go." "You should've seen his face when he opened the door." "He recognized me, too." "I saw it in his eyes." "Now, Lucie, before someone comes." "I can't help you here." "We have to get you to a doctor, someplace really far away." "After we get rid of the bodies and clean the house back up." "We don't have time." "No, it's the only way that it will leave me alone." "L-I have to wipe them away." "I have to make it like they never existed." "Then it will have to let me go." "It's almost over." "Ready?" "What's wrong?" "Come here." "Come here, Anna." "Can you smell that?" " Please stop." "Can you?" "I've known that smell my whole life... from every time that he beat me, every time that he walked into my cell." "And he told me how perfect I was." "He told me I was the one that they'd all been waiting for." "We need to get the others." "Why can't we just leave them?" "I told you I have to do it." "It's the only way it'll leave me alone." "I'm so tired." "Lucie?" "'" " Help, Please help me." "You have to be quiet." "Help me." "I will, but you have to be quiet." "Please." "Please don't." "She's gonna hear you." "Help." "Please, please." "I have a car." "I'm gonna take your boots to..." "We just have to hurry." " I can't leave my family." "You aren't leaving them." "We're just... we have to go." "I wanna see my children." " Shh!" "Be quiet." "Lucie, stop!" "Why?" " I was just..." "Why would you help her?" "She didn't deserve to die..." "What about all the things she did to me?" "I told you!" "I told you!" "But you wanted her to live instead of me?" "No." "Then why would you try to save her?" "Why would you try to let her do it all over again?" "She wouldn't have hurt you." "I wasn't going to let her." "You're lying!" "You never believed me." "You think I'm crazy... just like all the doctors." "I thought once I showed you their faces... that you would love me again." "Lucie." "No..." "More..." "Please." "No more... please." "Lucie?" "Lucie, stop!" "3110p!" "No!" " Don't touch me!" "Lucie!" "Stop!" "Lucie." "There's no monster!" "Stop, Lucie, stop." "No, no!" "no," "No, no, no!" "No more, Lucie!" "Stop, stop, stop." "It's me, it's me, it's me." "Okay." "It's me." "Lucie." "It's gone, okay?" "I'm gonna get you some new clothes, and then we're gonna get out of here." "Okay?" "It's never gonna let me go." "Lucie!" "Lucie?" "No, no." "Please, Lucie." "Don't leave me." "Please."

"You leave them closed now and you die." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on, open them." "No more." "No." "No, no more, please." "The monsters aren't real." "The monsters aren't real." "The monsters aren't real." "You're gonna be all right, Lucie." "It's almost over now." "One more stage, and all your suffering will be done." "I'm so glad you came back to us."

"Not that it would matter." "They're all aware of you being here." "What I said about calling the police was true." "I did." "I know." "It was your abbreviated 9-1-1 call that alerted us." "That and your little excursion downstairs to see Sam." "All outgoing calls come through our system." "Without yours, we would've assumed that the doctor's work with Sam was proceeding as planned." "So I owe you my gratitude." "Without you, we would never have gotten our dear Lucie back." "I didn't give her to you." "Of course you did." "What do you want with her?" "Her gift, of course." "It's what kept her alive during the doctor's work when she was a child." "It's what gave her the strength to spend all those years trying to find him." "Lucie is very different, of course." "But you already knew that, didn't you, Anna?" "You were ready to die back there in your cell rather than suffer any longer." "But Lucie is different." "Stronger." "What would kill you or I, she can survive." "Well, physically, anyway." "Mentally, well... the monsters are there." "They've slipped through the cracks that Dr. Patterson opened." "She's special." "It's easy to create a victim." "You lock a person up in the dark, and they begin to suffer." "And then you feed that suffering methodically, precisely to make it last." "The subject goes through a number of states." "And then there is trauma, and it opens those cracks." "Does Lucie ever see things that aren't there?" "Things that may want to hurt her?" "These are victims, and like you or I, they reach a breaking point." "Martyrs are so much more." "They're so very rare." "So extraordinary." "Martyrs survive the pain, the torture, like our Lucie, and they refuse to die." "Martyrs endure the unspeakable sins of the Earth, and they give themselves up and transcend their very being." "You are fucking crazy." "And when the police come, they're gonna..." "Don't speak about things that you can't possibly understand." "Longsheng Province, 1912." "This woman was accused of stealing food, and she was being punished." "This photograph was taken of her when she was alive." "Look at the eyes." "Juliette Ducier, 1945." "She was a grocer who slept with a German." "At the time, that didn't sit well with the French, and she had to pay." "Her eyes still alive." "Birmingham, 1960." "A woman in the final stages of cancer beyond the use of morphine." "She was pronounced dead a dozen times." "And yet she refused to die." "Again, the eyes." "All of them photographed when they were alive, all of them seeing something in their final breaths." "That's what we're recreating." "And we're so close." "That's our hope with Lucie." "And a few rare others." "No, no, no." "Don't feel badly for her, Anna." "She welcomes this now." " No, no." "Don't do this!" "No!" "No!" "' Stop!" "Stop it!" "No!" "No!" "You have to look past the pain, Anna." "Past the human form." " No." "To what's behind those eyes, to what she sees." "No!" " To that final place after life that awaits us all." "That's what this is about?" "Why you've been torturing and killing people for years?" "It isn't torture when it's for a higher purpose." "We're developing their gift, expanding their knowledge." "And these people are here to see this?" "They're looking for the answer to the human race's greatest mystery." "We all are." "So you murder for their entertainment?" "I sacrifice for knowledge." "Why are you showing me this?" "I'd hoped to send you on your way with some peace, Anna." "In appreciation for your returning Lucie to where she belonged." "Unfortunately, I can't give you that, Anna." "No!" "N-no!" "Bury her with the family." "And make the final preparations for Lucie." "No." "Exactly as Dr. Patterson would've done it." "Hey!" "Stand up." "Turn around." "Lucie?" "Lucie?" "I'm sorry, but I can't help you." "I have to find my friend." "I'll come back for you." "Lucie?" "Where is she?" "Drop it." "Put it down." "Kill him!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "I'm getting you out of here." "Ready?" "I have to stay and find my friend." "I need you to run, Sam, as fast as you can." "Find a house, get someone and tell them about this place." "Please." "It'll be okay." "You won't have to be scared, not anymore, okay?" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "This is the one." "It has to be her." "It has to be." "Lucie." "Help." "Help!" "Lord, we rejoice in the suffering of thy child." "Through her pain, may we truly know the mysteries that are yours." "Through our..." "Get away from her." "Take her down." "Lucie." "Lucie." "Lucie." "She's there." "She sees." "I'm sure of it." "Take her down!" "Lucie!" "Lucie." "She's there." "Take her down." "No." "You could push her past the point of endurance." "Take her down!" "You'll let her die in vain." "Stay away from her!" "All of her pain will have been worth nothing." "She knows the answer the rest of the world has fought countless battles over." "Shut up!" " Destroyed civilizations." "Please don't waste her suffering!" "She's trying to speak." "Could you..." "Can you hear what she's saying?" "What is it?" " Is she describing it?" "I've got to find out." " What did she see?" "What did she say?" "She was there, wasn't she?" "I heard her." "Father!" "What did she say?" "She was there, wasn't she?" "What did she say?" "What was it?" "What did she see?" "You tell me." "I'm so sorry." "I wish I could ride a cloud." "Let it take me wherever I wanted." "Where would you want to go?" "Wherever you go."
