Reaping, The (2007)

CONCEPCIN, CHILE
- No, thanks, buddy.
- Americans?
Yes.
They're out of it.
It could be something in the air.
- Maybe now's a good time.
- Yeah.
Father Bonilla...
I am blind... help bring light to my eyes.
The guy has been dead 40 years.
A month ago,
the earthquake broke open his tomb.
No. Don't put that in her mouth.
You'll only make her more sick.
Tell her.
There is no cure here.
Your girl will not get well this way.
Only the Devil...
...would try and stop God's miracle.
What did she say?
She thinks you're the devil.
Tell her I don't believe in him either.
Ben, check this out.
What do you think's under here?
What is that?
Yeah, well...
All right.
Katherine.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Hey.
- It's okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey. Hey. Relax.
Hey. Buddy, buddy, relax.
Hey. All right. All right, relax.
Deep well injection.
That's what it's called when a factory
drops hazardous waste down a dry oil well.
This kind of illegal
underground disposal...
...has been common practice
in Third World countries for years.
In this case, ethanol and methanol...
...mixed with the aromatic compound
DMSO and benzene...
...seeped out after an earthquake...
...running off into the sewer system
below the monastery...
...the fumes of which has the dual effect
of preserving human tissue...
...and, if inhaled,
creating intense hallucinatory effects.
Throw in a population economically deprived
enough to believe in almost anything...
...and you've got yourself a miracle.
A miracle created by a greedy,
cost-cutting corporation.
Instead of providing cures
for the faithful...
...it provided them
with lungfuls of toxic waste.
This puts me at 48 miraculous
occurrences I've investigated...
...with 48 scientific explanations.
I'm sorry to say, the only miracle
is that people keep believing.
Have a great weekend.
- Go, Tigers.
- They need a miracle.
LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
Professor, don't you have a TA
to help you carry that stuff?
I did, but once he got his master's,
they gave him an office next to mine.
Sounds like a bright guy.
And forgetful. My class was looking
forward to their guest speaker.
Sorry about that. I had a thing.
What was her name?
Her name was Theresa
and we met in church.
For old time's sake.
Professor Winter's office.
Father Costigan.
- Yeah, hold on.
- No. No.
Michael. It's been a long time.
It's nice to hear your voice.
What's going on?
I know how hard it is for you
to talk to me.
To remember.
I want you to know that
that's why I stopped calling.
I thought you stopped calling me
because you hate what I've become.
I could never hate you.
Katherine, you're going to think
I'm crazy.
I have all these photos of you in Africa...
...but...
But what?
In every photo I have of you,
your face is burnt.
It happened in front of my eyes.
Wait. What happened?
I think God has sent me a message.
He wants me to warn you.
If God was gonna send me a warning,
he should have done it a long time ago.
I understand why you stopped believing.
You've lost so much.
But, listen, Katherine,
the burns in the photos...
Put together, they formed a pattern.
- A pattern.
- Yes.
An ancient symbol.
I believe you're in danger.
I am not in any danger and I'm
really sorry, but I have to go now.
They formed the shape of a sickle.
An upside-down sickle.
- I'm sorry, I can't do this. I have to go.
- Please, wait.
- Bye, Michael.
- Don't hang up.
Katherine, why don't you go find Sarah?
Katherine, this is Doug Blackwell.
- Professor.
- Hi.
- I hope I'm not interrupting.
- No.
Doug has a problem
you might help with.
- Could Doug explain on the way to class?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
- All right, buddy.
You've got three bike paths
and a quad to make your case.
Well, I'll try.
I'm from a place called Haven. A few miles
past Fausse Pointe in the bayou?
Sounds nice.
Yeah. Up until three days ago, yeah.
Some of the fellas were out fishing
on the river.
Water kind of went red on them.
Dark red.
- Like blood.
- That's what it looked like.
Still does, in fact.
And nobody knows what's causing it?
They put me in charge of finding out.
I teach science and math,
grade three through 12.
Kind of makes me the town brainiac.
Well, when I'm called in,
there's usually a religious angle.
Well, that's why I'm here.
Some of the folks in town are worried
that this is a sort of plague.
As in Old Testament plague?
As in God, Moses, the whole deal.
They think there might be
more plagues on the way.
Heard a lot of Exodus
the last couple of days.
I could give 100 reasons
why your river's turned red.
Great. All I need is one.
Call TV stations. They'll round up 10
scientists begging to solve your problem.
No. Thank you.
Our town's the best secret
in the Bible belt.
I'm not interested
in becoming a punch line.
- I'm sorry. I wish that I could help...
- Professor.
They're blaming it on a little girl.
She found her brother dead on the river
the day it turned red.
Have they considered
the thing in the river?
They think she killed him.
They think she turned
the water into blood.
Girl's only 12 years old, Miss Winter.
Morning.
Did you sleep last night?
Yeah. Where are we?
Far enough that all I'm getting is this guy.
Jesus is the food on your table
and the gas in your car.
He is the beer in your bottle
and the bullets in your gun.
- You gonna be all right with this?
- I grew up in a place like this.
Every bump in the night's
a devil at the door.
Turn on the light, speak in a soft voice,
and they'll come right around.
Yeah, I meant because of the girl.
I'll be fine.
Thanks for asking, though.
Hi.
Yeah. Still no service?
All he wrote down
was 17 miles to the turnoff.
I'd rather talk to you anyway, over.
Well, ain't that sweet?
Copy.
Well, we're deep in it now.
I think it's kind of cute.
Sort of.
Hi. You must be the folks
from the college.
I'm Isabelle. They told me y'all would
start showing up right on about now.
All right, well, come on, then.
Let's park this thing out of the sun.
I kind of have the catbird seat
from over there inside the store.
- Thanks for meeting us.
- Don't thank me.
You are doing us a big old favor.
I tell you, this town
ain't seen nothing like this.
The McConnell boy, then the river.
Well, we all swim in it. Hank.
Look, he's my eldest.
That's him over there with his daddy.
Hey, baby.
- Hey, how you doing?
- Fine.
He just bought himself a Ski-Doo.
Hadn't even got it wet yet.
- How y'all doing?
- Good.
Don't y'all just love that sound?
- What is that it's made of?
- Fulgurite.
It's what happens to sand
when lightning strikes the ground.
You all must get a lot of lightning.
Most in three parishes.
We've been selling chimes all over.
Soon there'll be a piece
of Haven everywhere.
You know, we're even thinking website.
Hey, Janet. How you holding up?
Hey, pud.
Hey, little man.
Church is this way. Come on.
See you.
We were only a week apart.
It's number two for the both of us.
Know what you're having?
Heck, doesn't matter to me.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You got kids?
No, I don't.
They must be upstairs.
They?
The town council. Doug, the mayor, and
whoever else ain't doing their real job.
Boys sure do love to act important.
We certainly do, ma'am.
- Can't have a field trip in a damn gym.
- Then we'll postpone.
Gonna get real suspicious...
They'll get suspicious if every kid
comes down with a staph infection.
Oh, hi.
- Mayor Brooks.
- Hi.
These are the folks
I was telling you about.
I'm hoping Katherine here
can help us with our problem.
I understand you're not
a Bible reader.
Well, I've read it.
Just don't put much stock in it.
Yeah.
Some folks just don't
wanna go to heaven.
Maybe it's time to look at your river.
It ain't getting any better.
When did the fish start?
This morning.
Bubbled up like farts in a bathtub.
How far does it go?
That way, up to the channel.
And then down this way...
...almost half a mile to the dam.
- That could be your problem.
- How do you mean?
A dam gives pollutants
a place to build up.
Longer they're there,
the more toxic they get.
Is it blood?
You know, I wish I could tell you.
Never seen that before.
- Black's not even on the chart.
- Bad phenolphthalein?
- I hope not. It's the only we've got.
- Get more samples.
We'll overnight to the lab.
I'll get the waders.
Can't take it in any further. Too shallow.
Okay. We'll walk.
You gonna be all right
if I leave you alone?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm loving life right now.
Katherine?
Easy there. You all right?
I'm fine. I just hit my head.
I saw a girl.
- What? Blond?
- Yeah.
Kind of thin?
It's not how I figured
on you two meeting.
That's the girl everyone's worried about?
Loren McConnell.
We're not far from where her brother,
Brody, died.
They live out here?
And that's pretty much
how the rest of the town likes it.
- What's everyone have against these people?
- A single mom letting her kids run wild?
- Doesn't exactly fit the town's
self-image. - Where's the father?
Brody's dad drove his truck
off the causeway.
Loren's father was a traveling preacher.
Really? Covered wagon or a tent?
No, I think it was a Pontiac.
He only stayed around long enough
to leave her mom in a fix.
Folks been looking at her cross-eyed
ever since.
I haven't been out this way in a while.
- Nobody has.
- What did this place used to be?
A haven. About a hundred years ago.
Until three hurricanes in three years
pretty much wiped it off the map.
They buried all their dead
in that mausoleum.
- Then they started over on higher ground.
- Thought you said no one came here.
Katherine?
- Yeah?
- Yeah...
- Where are you?
- I'm close. Be right there.
I know I tend to jump to conclusions
on these things...
- Don't say it.
- Lf this town is thinking plagues...
...they got one closer.
- Don't you think it's early to go biblical?
Seeing I was waist-high in blood,
dodging dead frogs, no.
They died because the pH level
of the water was off the charts.
- We're gonna need to see the body.
- I'll call, see if I can arrange it.
Is there any way
I can overnight these samples?
Sure. We got a post office in town.
I'll point it out on the way to my place.
Your place?
Well, I hope you don't mind...
...but we don't have a motel here,
but I got two extra rooms all ready to go.
- I wasn't sure if you two were...
- No, we're not.
No accounting for taste.
- So that's okay?
- It's fine.
You wanna ride with me?
I can clean off the seat.
Sure.
Hey, Katherine, if you need me to
disappear so you can get acquainted...
...I can find a Stuckey's...
- Get those samples in...
...before it's too late.
- Your hair looks nice.
- Shut it.
What do you think?
It's probably Pfiesteria.
- Excuse me?
- Oh, it's a micro-organism...
...which gets lethal
under the right conditions.
Toxins bloom. Fish die.
Your river turns red.
Right.
You meant the scenery.
No, that's good. Very efficient.
I have a tendency to miss the forest for...
Literally.
It's beautiful.
From a ways off, maybe.
I've been trying to restore it
since my granddad gave it to me.
You must have been a good grandson.
Well, he didn't have a lot of choice.
I come from a long line of only children.
- I got it.
- Thanks.
This is a pretty big job for just one guy.
Yes, it is. Kind of.
I got it.
Katherine?
I got a bed set up in here.
- Thank you.
- It's not much.
No, it's great. Thanks.
And I got a couch in the other room.
I thought Ben could use it.
I hope he doesn't mind.
You folks really like these things. These.
Damn.
What?
My bracelet.
I must've lost it at the swamp.
Was it valuable?
Only to me, I guess.
- It might be a little hard to find in the dark.
- It's okay, really. I'll live.
Maybe I'll look in the truck.
- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah.
Well, I hope you like fish.
Well, where exactly
did you get the fish?
Grocery store. Seafood section.
- Great.
- Oh, well, then, grill on.
- Oh, shit. I forgot the Tabasco.
- I'll get it. Ben needs a refill anyway.
Cupboard above the sink.
So I guess it's safe to say
you're a church-going man.
Oh, yeah. Ten years, every Sunday.
How's that fit with disproving miracles?
You know, it's easy to lose faith.
Look at Katherine. If an ordained minister
can turn her back on God...
...then what hope is there
for the rest of us, right?
Plus, I think people
need to believe in miracles.
Find any real ones yet?
Yeah. Yeah.
Two semi-automatics, at 10 feet.
Punctured my liver, my kidneys, both arms.
Shattered my hip.
doing dumb stuff.
Hell, I was still hooked to the IV
when they rolled me into court.
Yeah, I knew I was supposed to die.
I guess Katherine doesn't have
the same tattoos.
No, I keep telling her to get
a question mark right here, but no.
- Weren't you getting me a beer?
- Guess you didn't pray hard enough.
Well, the first wave's done.
I hope everybody's hungry.
Amen to that because I'm starving.
Hey.
Yeah, sure. I'll ask.
We'll be right over.
That was Cade.
Jim Wakeman says his cattle
are acting strange.
- Well, did he call the vet?
- Can't until tomorrow.
Is their place close to the river?
About half a mile.
- Might be worth a look.
- Yeah. I'll go get the stuff.
I don't know.
I mean, the maggots and the flies.
Where did they come from so fast?
Katherine, do you still think this is?
What do you call it?
Pfiesteria. It makes the most sense.
- Are we here yet?
- Yeah, farm's just up here.
- How many head of cattle do they...?
- Oh, God.
What the fuck was that?
Doug?
Shit.
Shit.
Goddamn bull tore right through
my holding pen.
- Nearly gutted my boy before I got him clear.
- When did the cows start getting sick?
At milking this morning
some didn't wanna give.
Now most of them can't even stand.
Seems like they're shriveling up.
Have you changed their food?
Give them any new supplements, hormones?
Ain't nothing like that.
All my cattle's corn- and hay-fed.
What about pesticides?
Could they have gotten into another field?
I did a line walk.
Fences are all good.
Anyhow, there ain't any
growing farms around here.
Cows drink up to...
...12 gallons of water a day.
If whatever's contaminating the river
got into the water...
My animals get their water from a well.
Same as we do.
We're gonna go in.
This is getting a little hard
to ignore, Katherine.
We're four for four, chapter and
the verse. And I mean actual verse.
- Blood, frogs, flies, dead livestock.
- These cows aren't dead.
No, not yet. But from where I'm standing,
it looks pretty damn serious.
God sent the plagues as warnings
to the Pharaoh to let his people go.
What is he supposed to be saying here?
Yeah, well, maybe it's not from him.
The Pharaoh's sorcerers used magic
to match God, plague for plague.
- Evil against good.
- Who is responsible? Satan?
I didn't say that.
I don't know, but what I do know
is that we are witnessing biblical events.
All right.
- You wanna talk plagues?
- Yeah.
- Let's talk plagues.
- Okay.
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.
Late night, huh?
Can't sleep.
I bet.
Are those your cows?
The ones out there?
Of course.
Who's that with them?
Girl from before.
Before?
When she made the cows lie down.
Did you see her?
Hey, you know,
that's a really pretty picture.
Do you think maybe I could have it?
Okay. I'm drawing a fire truck now.
Thank you.
I let you handle things when
the McConnell boy died. Didn't I, Cade?
- Yeah.
- And, Doug...
When that river turned to blood
where Loren found him...
...I let you handle it, didn't I?
- You did.
No one's done a damn thing.
Now this town's living in fear
waiting for the next plague to come.
If you're doing your job,
why am I looking at a man's livelihood...
...lying dead on the ground not two miles
from where the McConnells live?
Now, do I have to bring
this family in myself?
How did Brody McConnell die, sheriff?
- I don't know.
- What do you know?
Well, I got the call about 2.
The girl found Brody by the river
and he wasn't moving.
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.
Brynn said when she got there, there
was a bunch of motorcycles out front.
Then she heard some singing.
More like chanting.
Then she stuck her head in the window.
She saw something big
butchered in the sink.
It wasn't dead yet.
You didn't think to tell me?
It's a rumor.
The worst kind.
Brynn don't got the imagination
for it not to be true.
Father?
Are you all right?
Yes. Thank you, Sister. I'm fine.
Come here.
There you go.
Katherine.
Doug?
Hello?
Doug?
She seems like a good person.
Katherine.
The power is out.
I didn't mean to disturb you.
It's probably the breaker. I'll flip it.
It's okay, really.
Take your time.
At least let me buy you a drink.
What is it?
It's local.
Some folks think it tastes like bourbon.
Have they ever had bourbon?
Yeah.
Sam used to clean
her paintbrushes with it.
- How long were you married?
- Seven years.
Six of them cancer-free.
We wanted a big family and were
trying for our first kid, you know?
She started feeling sick.
Went to the doctor thinking we were
having a boy and came out...
I'm sorry.
Still hear her in the kitchen sometimes.
- That goes away after a while.
- I'm not sure I want it to.
When did you?
Five years ago. David and Sarah.
So how'd you pick the Sudan?
I had a friend, Michael Costigan,
a priest who ran a camp there.
He asked me to come.
David, my husband, didn't wanna go,
not with Sarah being so young...
...but I was the one with a calling.
I'd just been ordained
and I knew what was best.
- You were doing a good thing.
- So I thought.
We showed up with our crate of Bibles
and our clean T-shirts...
...and our very good intentions.
And then it didn't rain a drop
for a full year.
The crops died, the animals died,
the people died.
And they blamed us.
My family was murdered
as a sacrifice to God.
The first night I stopped praying
was the first night I slept.
I have a lot of work tomorrow.
Loren.
Wait.
Katherine, why don't you see
if you can find Sarah?
Haman.
Sacrificing that animal
won't help your crop.
- Hey. I'm so lucky.
- How come?
Because, silly, God gave me you.
He's right behind you.
Katherine. Katherine, wake up.
Katherine, Katherine, Katherine.
Katherine, Katherine.
It's Ben, it's Ben, it's Ben.
Just breathe. Just breathe.
I saw her.
Sarah?
Yeah.
Hey, if you wanna get out of here,
we're gone.
I'm fine. I just...
I just thought I was...
...through with some of this stuff.
Come here, Katherine. Come here.
It's all right.
I'm sorry...
...about before, in the pasture.
- No.
You know...
...God protects his children
even if they don't know it yet.
Get some sleep.
Caught me snooping.
Yeah. Kind of hard to snoop
in your own house.
What is that?
That is a healthy bovine cell.
Strong walls. Good color.
And then...
...comes Pfiesteria.
- And that's from the Wakemans' cattle?
Nope. That's just it.
But this...
- This is.
- Well, that looks fine to me.
Yeah, it is.
Biologically, there's nothing wrong
with those cows...
...or the flies, or the frogs, or the fish.
Sheriff said pretty much the same thing
about Brody McConnell.
- There been an autopsy?
- Not yet.
- We've been told to wait on the coroner.
- Yeah, well, maybe we shouldn't.
- I'll get Katherine.
- No. She left this morning.
- She went to the McConnells' house.
- You let her go alone?
I don't let her do anything.
I'm lucky I get the computer.
Mrs. McConnell?
Loren?
Hello? Anyone home?
Hello?
Loren.
You scared me.
Remember me, from the woods?
My name's Katherine.
Is your mother here?
You found it.
It's okay.
Really.
It was my daughter's.
But you can have it.
Hey, Loren. How old are you?
Let's get you cleaned up.
It's okay. Come on.
That's your body's way
of telling you that...
Well, that you're becoming a woman.
Yeah, it kind of freaked me out too.
Hey, Loren...
...do you know what's wrong
with the river?
Loren!
Loren?
You here for my girl?
Are you going to kill...
...my baby girl?
What? No.
Why not?
I'm only trying to help her.
She don't need any help.
Don't you get that?
What? Mrs. McConnell.
What happened to your son?
How did he die?
He didn't know any better.
I couldn't get there in time.
Brody was so fast...
- You see?
- I was just trying...
Get out. Just get out.
Wait.
Doug?
There, there, now. It's gonna
be all right. It'll grow back.
Doug. The whole time you been here,
have we ever had a lice outbreak?
Not as far as I can remember.
Don't you think it's getting kind of old to
keep chalking everything up to coincidence?
And you. We were told we were gonna get
some definite answers out of you by now.
Trying to work it out.
Trying to tie this to one source.
Let me save some time.
She's 5 foot tall, blond,
and she lives out in the swamp...
...with them devil worshippers.
- Yes, she is.
- That's right. You tell them.
- Messing this town up.
- Let's go see the McConnell boy?
- Yeah.
Later.
- What?
- It's okay.
Hey.
Where exactly is lice on the list?
Five.
Katherine, you copy?
- Hey. Are you there?
- You find the girl?
I found her.
And?
Where are you?
We're about to meet her brother.
Katherine, you are gonna wanna see this.
You shouldn't have gone out there alone.
You all right?
I don't know.
Listen.
I know logically and rationally
you and I agree.
- Okay.
- But there's things going on now.
Things in there.
You just better prepare yourself.
This is Brody McConnell?
Funeral home backs up Cade. Three
days ago he was in perfect condition.
- Cause of death unknown.
- Yeah, and it's gonna stay that way.
I mean, we're already
in the dry stages of decomp here.
You don't see this on a body until they're
like one or two years in the grave.
What the hell is that?
- Call the FBI. Shut them down.
- No. We're past the police here.
- This is a cult, plain and simple.
- Well, what about the plagues?
They killed one child. Do we wanna
stand around while they kill another?
- Sheriff, we need to talk.
- We sure do.
- This just came.
- I need...
Just read it.
What is it?
It's a lab result.
Yeah, from the water samples we sent in.
It's human blood.
The whole damn river.
That's a two-mile stretch of river.
That's damn near 2,
- Could these reports be wrong?
- No.
I need to make a call.
Hello?
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?
I need to know what to do
before this little girl is murdered.
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?
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?
Lucifer has often turned God's
weapons against the righteous.
He's protecting the girl.
If you'd seen this girl,
you couldn't be...
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?
Brooks?
And there shall be boils breaking forth
upon man and upon beast.
"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.
- Lf 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?
Help!
Help! Help!
Help!
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 him 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.
Gordon, you watch him out there,
all right?
Loren?
Where's your daughter?
- I didn't understand what would happen.
- Tell me where she is.
She's gone over.
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.
Wait.
Katherine? Do you copy?
Katherine.
Nothing.
What are we gonna do, Dad?
We're gonna do
what we come out here to do, boy.
Gordon.
Katherine!
Katherine! Get inside! Get inside!
Dad!
Doug!
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?
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.
Katherine.
Ben.
She's outside. I'm trapped.
Okay. Okay. I gotta find...
I gotta find another way out.
Ben?
Ben?
No, no, no. No.
Ben?
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.
Hi.
I used to have a little girl
who looked just like you.
I wanna take you away from here. Okay?
Just be still.
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!
Hold still.
Brody, go!
Loren!
"At the height of their power...
...God shall send forth an angel
to destroy them. "
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.
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?
No.
Why not?
Katherine, please kill her
before it's too late.
You do it.
You can't do it, can you?
Because you already tried
and she survived.
No, that's not true.
You deceived me so I would murder her.
This innocent child.
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.
She's outside.
Okay. Okay. I gotta find...
I gotta find another way out of here.
Come on.
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.
You all do.
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.
"For all their sacrifice,
they shall reap a perfect child... "
Let me buy you a drink.
"... a second-born,
who upon coming into adulthood...
...shall be reborn with the eyes of Satan. "
