"I've just made you a fresh pot of coffee Mrs. Preston." "Hmm?" "A fresh pot." "No thank John, no." "Is it slacken off any out there?" "John, it's absolutely pouring down." "Oh..." "I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy." "Oh no, don't worry about it." "I'll just get you a fresh cup." "Thank you." "Now you relax..." "Mark?" "Steve?" "Mark?" "Well?" "No sign of him, or the truck." "I got as far as Simpson's Bridge, or what's left of it." "The river's about swept it away." "He couldn't have just disappeared." "He couldn't." "He probably pulled up someplace." "Wait the storm out." "It's still dead." "I know." "Winds knocked the lines down." "I don't think so." "What else could it be?" "It's only the storm?" "Mark, don't think of fool." "Mother, don't start now please don't start." "Please listen to me, it's my dream." "I know, I know, your dreams." " Well will you listen to me?" "It's the same night after night." "Night after night, yes, I know that mother." "I don't want to hear anymore about it." "Mark, listen to me, it always starts the same way." "It starts with a storm, and then your father..." "My father is all right." "It's all right." "But?" "Mom, no." "Someone's here." "Dad?" "Oh my God." "Steve." "Steve!" "The book," "Corbis." "Oh God help us." "Where is Corbis?" "The desert," "Red Stone." "He's waiting for the book." "Give Corbis what belongs to him." "Don't go near him." "Don't touch him." "Nomine Satanas." "Nomine Satanas." "In the name of Satan." "That wasn't your father." "It was his face, his clothes." "Mark, the book." "Don't you see." "Don't you see my dream was a warning." "My dream was a warning." "They found us." "Corbis has your father." "It wasn't him Mark." "I tell you..." "I tell you it wasn't him." "He said... he said Corbis was in Red Stone." "The old mining town." "That's a God forsaken place." "Wait a minute." "Mark, take the book to Corbis." "It's the only way." "The book's not ours to bargain with." "Oh please take it." "No." "They won't give the devil's man what he wants." "Your father would of..." "My father would agree with me." "Mark there must be something you can do." "Yeah." "I'll fight him on my terms, not his." "Listen, take this with you." "Corbis can't harm you as long as you wear this amulet." "He's here." "It's the truck." "No, you stay here." "John, take care of her." "John?" "Hang on, and I'll cut it." "Oh God." "It's all right." "Mother?" "Mother?" "She's gone, over the Sun." "Corbis!" "God damn you!" "I'll be back." "They had no faces." "Look's like you've been driving a ways." "Are you lost?" "No, I'm not lost." "Use some water?" "Drink up." "It's bitter." "Sweet way to end a thirst though, isn't it?" "Did you bring the book?" "I'll talk to no one but Corbis." "Then speak." "Where is the book?" "Where you can't touch it." "I'm not afraid of you Corbis." "Mr. Preston," "I'd be very disappointed if you were." "We've both come a very long way for this moment." "And I've a ways to go yet, before I find what I'm after." "Well if you're lead by a faith as strong as mine, nothing can stop you." "Depends what you put your faith in." "Well said." "Let me show you what I've put my faith in." "Corbis," "I'll face whatever you have behind those doors, and come out exactly as I went in." "A challenge?" "My faith against yours." "For my mother and father." "They go with me, if I win." "Ag reed." "And if you lose?" "The book." "And you." "The ceremony will begin shortly." "Won't you be seated." "In the name of Satan, ruler of the earth, king of the world," "I command the forces of darkness" "Our father, who art in heaven." "Come forth from the abyss." "Open wide the gates of hell." "Thy will done on earth as it is in heaven." "Greet Thee, as your brethren and friend." "Give us this day our daily bread." "And forgive us our trespasses." "As we forgive those that trespass against us." "You have bestowed upon us a vessel for the sacred right of the holy water." "For this we thank thee, and summon the soul." "Be my shield, against the terrors of hell." "Martin Fyffe nomine Satanas." "Martin Fyfie nomine Satanas." "Martin Fyffe..." "In the name of God," "I am Mark Preston." "In the name of Satan," "Martin Fyffe, come into this vessel." "In the name of God," "I am Mark Preston." "Deliver me from evil." "Evil?" "There is no evil here, only purity." "See thy mother." "My son, we have made a place for you here, and you will know the peace of mind that I have found." "Come." "Give me strength." "A divine peace can be yours." "Join us?" "No." "Get away, let me go." "Whose belief is greater now?" "Let me go!" "Seize him!" "Is that your faith?" "I'm still free Corbis." "Are you free Mark Preston?" "Free my family." "Come forth, oh master of the world, present thy self to him." "Behold!" "Aah!" "Soon the family name of Preston will be no more." "Mrs. Preston, my associate's wife, is consciously controlling the rate of her heartbeat." "She's now in a state of deep meditation." "Dr. Richards, you mean she's controlling her body through willpower alone?" "Our experiments would indicate that there's nothing in the subconscious that cannot be raised at the conscious level." "Nothing doctor?" "What about her parapsychology telepathy, can that be controlled too?" "Yeah, I include that." "Extrasensory perception." "Dr. Preston, isn't there a danger that these experiments can interfere with normal brain activity?" "No, no, no, we've uh studied many cases like this, and found there's no reason for concern at all." "If there were, believe me, my wife would not be involved." "No, no, no, no dangers, only discoveries." "Is there any proof of ESP control?" "Yes, Mrs. Preston here." "We believe that we're on the verge of isolating the brainwave pattern that signifies ESP activity." "Now Julie, tell us what you felt?" "It's starts with a feeling of absolute calmness, as if I were drifting into a perfect sleep, leaving behind any cares or any fears." "It's so beauty a feeling," "I could almost cry." "And then, way in the distance I see someone, or someplace moving closer." "It starts with a feeling of absolute calm, as if I were drifting into a perfect sleep, leaving behind any cares or fears." "Then way in the distance I see someone, or someplace moving closer." "Sometimes there are voices or even music, and then a funny change takes place." "Instead of the images moving closer to me," "I feel myself moving closer to them." "It's as if I were watching a movie, and then suddenly were acting in it." "Easy." "Julie something's happened to my family." "Well that really tears it." "The helicopter pilot said he hasn't seen anybody in that ghost town in years, let alone yesterday." "What are we stuck with?" "A pile of empty clothes, and an old man's story." "I'm not even going to take the trouble to write up for a report." "All we need now is a flying saucer to really put this place on the map." "All right, now Sheriff," "John's story is just as hard for me to believe as it is for you." "But he's sure that Mark went to Red Stone." "That place is deserted." "Where's my family then?" "Where are they?" "All I know is that half this county got blown away, or flooded out last night." "Now when John called me about your family, my boys were bringing in a couple of bodies." "People were stuck in a car in that storm last night, and it just tossed them around like a toy." "Well look at the inside of your house, it's a shambles." "You think a storm did that Sheriff?" "Yes I do." "Then where's the family?" "Well I don't know." "Maybe they tried to run away before the wind hit." "And they left John here, right?" "No Sheriff, the answer's in Red Stone." "You know that." "Now look son, if I had a 100 men to help me, it's going to take me a long time to clean up that mess the storm left me." "I'm going to look for your folks, but I can't spare one man to go down there to that ghost town." "I'll go myself then Sheriff." "I can't stop you." "You might as well take that old road, the old one back down through the desert it's clear." "I see you got food." "But you better take plenty of water." "And you better take extra gas." "Tell you what, you give me a call, the minute you get back." "Yeah, I will." "Julie, I" "I saw them, they, they, they, they had no faces." "I, I, I saw them." "John, we're going to find out what happened." "Now I want you to listen me, and listen to me very carefully." "A Dr. Richards is coming tomorrow." "Now I want you to tell him everything you've told us, and tell him that we're going to Red Stone to find my brother." "Dr. Richards is coming here tomorrow, and you've gone to Red Stone." "We've gone to Red Stone." "And tell him everything you told us, all right?" "Yeah I'm fine." "Wax." "What is it?" "What is that stuff?" "It's wax." "They just melted, and we all saw." "We better get going." "Look uh, try to get some sleep, okay?" "Remember Dr. Richards?" "Yeah, I," "I remember Dr. Richards." "Now you be care, careful." "All right we will." "Take care John." "We'll be back soon." "Where is the book?" "In the name of Satan," "Lord of light." "I offer you peace and salvation." "Where is the book?" "You gambled and you lost." "You bastard." "The torment of hell holds no terror for you." "Behold Lillith," "Queen of Delights." "He truly believes he can deny us." "Show him." "Mother?" "Martin Fyffe," "Thy vessel is prepared." "Your journey is about to begin." "Weird isn't it?" "I've seen churches like this in New England." "It doesn't belong here." "Yeah, I noticed that from back there." "Here, I'm gonna go in." "Rege Sa..." "Satanas." "Devil worship." "Oh Tom, look at this." "This wax, it's the same that was on the porch." "Oh God." "Shh, shh." "What is that noise?" "A car?" "Mark?" "What is it?" "Mark's shirt." "Tom, look out!" "Tom here's some rope." "Tie him up." "What is it Julie?" "What are you seeing?" "Book." "A long, a long time ago I..." "I can see them, they're, they're looking for the book" "They're looking for the book." "One of thee has betrayed us." "How so, Jonathan?" "The book is gone my children." "The book is gone, but I am not." "Didst one of thee fall from the favor of Lucifer, hmm?" "Ha-ha, but thou has taken the pleasures of Satan, and in return thou has pledged thy soul in blood in the book." "Without the book thou art nothing." "Who?" "Who amongst thee dares to be cast into an eternity of limbo." "Who?" "If the book is lost," "I Jonathan Corbis," "Satan's Minister on earth cannot lead you to his everlasting kingdom." "Now who?" "Martin Fyffe, it is strange thy wife Aaronessa..." "She, she has been ill." "Does not join us at worship this night." "Be silent." "No one knows what we are about." "Silent." "Why Preacher Blythe, what manner of God's business keeps me from my bed at this hour sir." "God's most holy business." "The condemning of evil." "What say thee?" "Jonathan Corbis thou stands accused of foully conspiring with Satan and his demons to overturn the laws of God." "Thou art named the witch Corbis." "Thou and all who follow thee." "Thou art the one." "Slut!" "Martin Fyffe, thy wife has betrayed us." "She was the one who stole the books." "It's not my fault." "That bitch howls our names to the heathen." "I have faith." "One, two, three..." "Remember, thou has sworn not to harm my husband." "My son, the holy water, the wax of images, thou knoweth the holy procedures." "One, two, three..." "We shall meet again soon my boy." "Go now." "They are upon us." "One, two, three... (Speaking in Latin) Satanas." "Thou art swore not to harm him." "I will save his soul, and thy soul too if God allows." "As for thy bodies, they are polluted beyond redemption, and must suffer accordingly." "Thou vowed." "Thou vowed." "Corbis, call on thy master now." "See what it suffices thee to bow to the devil." "Thou art guilty of the most heinous charge of consorting with Satan and his minions." "Under the laws of this township, thou art condemned." "God save us, from the forces of darkness" "Think yee to destroy something stronger than life by ending life." "As the cock will crow in the dawn after my body burns, so too will the sun rise, and cast my shadow over this town, again, and again." "You fools!" "Burn!" "Burn!" "Martin Fyffe, a curse on thee and thine forever more." "I will follow thee, and thy descendants for all eternity." "Until the book is mine again." "Thou art sworn to Satan, and I will deliver thee to his glory." "Vengeance will be mine Aaronessa." "Vengeance will be mine." "He was, he was, all of them, they were all burning, no." "Julie, Julie!" "Who was burning?" "What are you talking about?" "I..." "I..." "What is it?" "They're here." "Who, what, what are you talking about?" "We, we better go." "Come on, let's get out of here." "You can't go back there Tom." "Look honey, I've got to go back you, know that." "Now get to a phone and call the Sheriff, okay?" "Take care." "Hear me o Lord of life everlasting," "I Jonathan Corbis petition thee to let me be thy voice on earth." "Oh master of the world hear me." "I petition thee." "Hail, oh Prince of the abyss, in thy name let us behold the Father, the Ram of the Sun, the Moon, the Stars." "Hail, o deathless one." "Who calls me from out of the pit." "We thy children." "What is thy purpose?" "To deliver thou a soul." "Has it been prepared?" "It has." "Then I command this soul to be purified by fire and water." "Oh mighty light, and burning flame of comfort, enter this body, and cleanse it of its unworthy soul." "Burn!" "Burn!" "Burn!" "In the name of Satan," "Lord of fire, in the name of Lucifer, king of the light, in the name of thee master of the earth." "Now be sealed by the holy waters of forgetfulness." "(Speaking in Latin)" "(Speaking in Latin)" "(Speaking in Latin)" "Martin Fyffe, my servant." "Come forth and claim the body" "I have prepared for you." "(Speaking in Latin)" "Open wide the mysteries of your creation unto his soul." "Be friendly unto him." "For I am the same, the true worshiper of the highest, and most exalted king of hell." "Praise be the lord of light and darkness, who is my sole salvation." "Blasphemer!" "Blasphemer!" "Seize him." "You my son defiled all that is holy." "Mother, my God, my God!" "Okay, where's Julie then?" "The Sheriff called, he's got men on the road looking." "I suppose the car disappeared right?" "Can't find it?" "Yeah, well that means that she's back there in that damn place with Corbis." "But they picked you up, didn't they?" "There's a chance..." "Oh Sam, come on, let's face it." "The Sheriff's got," "God knows how many storm victims he's looking for." "What do you think he's going to say when I tell him about wax and images, and eyeless faces, huh, how bout that one?" "And that God Damn ceremony." "Son of a bitch." "And what about the disappearance of my family, for crying out loud." "Now Sam, I don't know what in the hell he wants with my family, but uh, there's only one way to find out." "Just slow down, slow down." "Let's try to find out what we're facing here." "What are we facing?" "Here, take a look at this." "What is it?" "Where'd you get it?" "It's a book." "I got from John bequeathed to your mother." "It's been in your family for centuries, you haven't seen it." "Nathan Aldrine," "Martin Fyffe." "That's the name he used last night in the ceremony." "Right, right, this... this book was owned by Corbis about 300 years ago." "It's a registry of the people, the names of the people that he converted to Satan." "These are written in blood, these signatures." "These are people who believe that they've sold their souls to the devil." "Here, this letter, read the letter." ""I beseech the daughter,"" ""and all our daughters to follow"" ""to protect this book,"" ""and keep it from the devil's disciple."" ""For so long as you do"" ""Jonathan Corbis is powerless"" ""to deliver his souls to Satan,"" ""where I would rather,"" ""my beloved husband, Martin Fyffe,"" ""suffer the torments of the Devil's Rain."" " Devil's Rain, I don't..." ""For whilst imprisoned there,"" ""I..."" ""I pray that Martin"" ""through God's grace will find a way"" ""to scratch his name from it's pages,"" ""signed Aaronessa Fyffe,"" ""Wellington 1680."" "Now what and the hell is he waiting 300 years for?" "I don't know maybe the right moment, who could..." "Or the right family." "No, you'll never find the reason." "That Devil's Rain, that's new to me, I've never heard of that." "They mentioned that last night in the ceremony." "They said something about" "I condemn my soul to the Devil's Rain." "Uh-huh." "You know this Corbis, this Corbis believes that he can separate souls from bodies." "Oh Sam, don't be ridiculous." "Well it's old suspicion, and what you described happen last night." "Look Sam, we're talking about something, neither one of us understand." "In the meantime," "I don't what in the hell has happened to Julie." "Wait, wait Tom!" "What?" "Mark Preston." "It wasn't there this morning." "I'm going to Red Stone." "In the names, of the great harlot of Babylonian, and of Lillith, and of Hechete." "Our lust will be fulfilled." "You're for pleasure." "You are chosen among mortals for a mortal delight." "Who denies pleasure, denies life." "Who opens the portals of pleasure." "Opens the eye of eternity." "No." "So we may see the divine fire." "No!" "Noooo!" "Tom, listen." "Tom, Tom come here." "Give me a hand." "These are symbols of Satan, exactly as it said in the book." "Yeah, well that figures." "What is that?" "Oh Tom." "Tom." "What?" "Souls." "Oh my God." "Possessed by Corbis for 300 years, from Wellington until now." "The Devil's Rain?" "Sheriff?" "Look out Tom!" "Oh my God Tom." "Put her on the altar of the holy flame." "I will prepare her for eternity." "No, no, Julie!" "Julie!" "You my Brethren, found the book." "You may now bring down the vessel so we may restore it to its holy place." "That won't be necessary." "Aah..." "Dr. uh..." "Richards." "Dr. Samuel Richards." "Yes," "I've been aware of your work through these many years doctor." "Corbis, you want the Devil's Rain." "I want Tom and Julie Preston." "I do not underestimate your powers, nor do I overestimate them." "Thank you doctor." "I'm grateful that you aware of them sir." "Unless you allow Tom and Julie Preston to leave here safely," "I will destroy the Devil's Rain." "Martin Fyffe our salvation is at hand." "Bring me forth the vessel." "Listen, listen to me." "You have the power now to end your torment." "Destroy the bottle, without the Devil's Rain, he has no hold on you." "You are free to choose." "Martin Fyffe, you are sworn to Satan." "Come forth for your salvation." "This is your last chance." "In all eternity it will never come again." "Without the Devil's Rain he has no hold on you." "You are free to choose." "Aaronessa was right." "This is your last chance." "The heathen lies." "In all eternity, it will not come again." "Free the souls, and free yourself." "If you destroy the Devil's Rain, you will wander through eternity." "A creature of nothing, neither of heaven, nor of hell." "In God's name Martin, believe as Aaronessa believed." "You can be saved." "Break the bottle." "You are sworn to Satan, Martin Fyffe." "No you're not Martin." "Break it." "Remember Aaronessa." "Aaronessa." "Corbis!" "Corbis!" "Aaah." "No!" "No, God, no." "Tom?" "Tom?" "Tom." "Oh." "Oh Tom." "No, Tom!" "Tom!" "No!" "Help!" "Tom!" "Tom!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No, Tom help!" "Help me..."
