You shouldn't even be here.

This is my private place.

My sanctuary.

And I am your father.

We want you to come back, Mary.

I can't.

I belong here. No.

You belong at home with me and your
brother. I find comfort here.

Peace and truth.

Have you told them anything?

Lying lips are abomination.

To the Lord.

Have you told him anything?

No.

Promise me it will stay that way.

Honor thy father, Mary!

I want you to promise me.

I'm sorry.

Mary?

Mary?

What's happening?

Okay, please darken this place.

All I could find were corn snacks.

Artificial color, artificial flavor.

Yes, Nick's favorite.

How does he eat this stuff and stay in
shape?

Road work.

Five miles a day, I'll burn off a double
cheeseburger, large fries, and a couple

of beer.

I cannot believe you consume so much
junk.

Junk? I cover all the major food groups.
Milk, dairy, meat.

What category does hops fall under?

Oh, please.

Have you seen Derek? Yeah, he went to
Napa to see his sister Ingrid.

Is everything all right?

Mom, no friend of mine passed away. I
got a gun on San Diego for the reading

the will.

Oh, Nick, I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Mom, we haven't been close in a long
time, so... Want some coffee?

You want to drive all the way down to
San Diego with me?

If you want.

All right, for the morning and now. I
stopped for fast food. Oh.

I'll pack some yogurt.

Rachel, it's a dare.

It's been a death at the convent.

Derek, I'm so sorry. What happened? A
suicide, apparently.

I may be staying with Ingrid for a
while. Please tell the others. Okay, I

How long do you think you'll be away?
I'm not sure.

I'll call you from the convent.

Derek!

It's so good to see you.

You too.

I only wish it was under better
circumstances.

Do you have any idea why she did it?

Mary was so troubled when she first came
to us.

But I was certain we had helped us
through it.

Well, you can blame yourself, Ingrid.

Oh, can't I?

What if it were Alex or Rachel or Nick?
Wouldn't you feel responsible?

Forgive me, Terry.

This hasn't been easy.

Please, no apologies necessary.

I'd forgotten how easy it is to talk to
family.

Oh, come.

The Mother Superior would like to see
you.

Derek, how good to see you again.

And you, Reverend Miller.

Mr. Margaret, please, we needn't rest on
formality.

Oh, thank you for welcoming me.

I know you're not accustomed to
visitors.

Yes, well, we've all been very disturbed
by this tragedy, and I know Ingrid

finds great comfort in your company.

I've prepared a room for Derek in the
guest quarters.

Ingrid, might your brother and I have a
moment alone?

Of course.

Ingrid has told me of your work, that
you study, how shall I put it, unusual

occurrences.

I suppose you could say that.

I bring this up because there's been
some disturbing talk among the sisters.

What kind of talk?

Things that are not easily explained by
everyday logic.

Well, if I can be of any help.

Derek, I'm telling you this because I
don't want you involved.

If you catch wind of this talk, please
treat it for what it is.

Hysterical nonsense.

Well, don't you think it's worth
investigating?

You're here to console Ingrid in her
time of need.

Nothing more.

Well, this is your home, and I have no
intentions of disrespecting it. Or you.

We've been on the road for about four
hours and you haven't told me a thing

about your old friend.

How much to say?

He was my brother.

You never knew you had a brother.

So there came up a conversation.

Yeah, I guess.

How did he pass away?

Car accident.

Lawyer didn't really elaborate.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Well, you seem to be taking it pretty
well.

Well, the truth is I haven't seen him in
almost 20 years.

20 years?

What happened?

You know, Pop was pretty hard on me, but
he was even tougher on Jimmy.

I was 10, he was 17.

I guess he just had enough, and he
split.

Did you ever look for him?

I was too young.

By the time I was old enough...

I don't know, built up enough resentment
that I guess I just didn't really care.

So, this trip and the will?

I have no idea what to expect.

Well, I have to admit, things with you
are never dull.

It's part of my charm.

Strange noises.

Something sounds in the middle of the
night.

I would have told you earlier, but you
see how the Mother Superior feels about

such things.

Where were you coming from?

Different parts of the convent.

Sometimes the bell in the tower rings
when there's no one there to ring it.

Some of the sisters believe it to be
Mary's ghost.

What do you believe?

That suicide is an unpardonable sin in
the eyes of the church.

Did you hear that?

It sounded like it came from down here.

Mary's room.

It's the wind, Ingrid. Nothing more.

Mrs. Margaret, I think you'd better send
back.

So you really think we wouldn't be
appreciated?

Uh -uh. Cloisters are closed societies.
These are women who left the outside

world to explore the inner truth.

Not exactly my idea of a weekend in the
country. Oh, come on. It'll be a fresh

experience.

I wish, but it's not true.

One year, I got dropped off at the local
convent.

The whole summer. I was 12 and
rebellious. Not exactly what I would

made in heaven. I knew.

Not hardly. I mean, the sisters had
their ideas, but I had mine.

What happens, we can change that.

Oh, Ingrid. Great to see you.

Hello, Ingrid. Oh, thank you for coming.
Yeah, listen, Derek said that there

were some problems and he wasn't really
here. What is going on?

Anything?

Well, these are mostly poems.

Yes. Mary rather enjoyed writing.

I think it was her release.

Release from what?

Ingrid?

This is difficult, Derek.

Mary told me certain things in
confidence.

Ingrid, you know why we're here.

We want help.

But you have to meet us halfway.

Mary had a difficult time before she
came to us.

Her younger brother met an untimely
death.

Do you know how?

Only that it was an accident.

It happened a year ago, a few months
before she came here.

This helps a lot, Ingrid. Now, what else
can you tell us about her life?

Nothing.

I offered her comfort, but I think she
felt more at ease with the younger nuns.

I believe that she and Sister Anne were
close.

Then I think we'll start with Sister
Anne.

Mr. Aaron, Mother Superior told us you
have questions about Mary.

Yes, we do. Are you going to use Mary's
death to paint a misleading picture of

the Order?

No, not at all. What makes you say that?

Forgive me.

Many people don't understand what we do
here, that our lives are dedicated

completely to God.

It's hard to know who we can trust.

Well,

We would never question your belief, Mr.

We're just here to help.

Can you tell us anything you know about
Mary's family?

Mary did confide in me, but I could
never betray that trust.

No, I understand what you mean. I'm a
psychiatrist, so I've taken an oath to

protect my patient's confidence.

But there are circumstances, sometimes,
when there are things even more

important than that.

I must finish my task.

Well, thank you for your time, sister.

Wait.

Whatever you're looking for, you won't
find it among us.

You should look elsewhere.

Besides you, Ingrid...

Who saw Mary last?

Her father, Paul Miller, visited that
night.

Has he been back since?

Once. He came with Mary's remaining
brother, Josh, to claim the body for

He must have been heartbroken, huh?

Paul is a widower.

A man of intense religious belief, but
very different from ours.

I think he did not approve of Mary
joining the sisterhood.

Any luck?

Not much. If anyone knows anything,
they're not inclined to share.

The sisters have a high regard for
secrecy, Rachel, much like the legacy.

Well, Sister Anne did say something
strange in the end. She said, you won't

what you're looking for among us.

Maybe she was trying to steer you
somewhere?

You know, Mary didn't have very many
friends outside the convent, so maybe

was talking about her family.

Ingrid, do you think Paul Miller would
speak with us here at the convent?

Perhaps. If I were to ask him, but why
would you not go to his home?

Because Alex and Rachel will be there,
talking to his son, Josh.

Thank you

for

coming, Paul.

I know this is a difficult trial for
you. The Lord asks us to be strong,

Death is not for us to understand, but
to bear.

Oh, Paul, this is my brother Derek.

He felt he might be helpful.

Helpful? In what way? What exactly is
this about?

It's about Mary.

Mary was taken from me for a reason.

I don't understand that reason, but I
don't have to.

I have my faith to sustain me.

Ingrid said you saw Mary the night she
died.

Yes, I did.

We'd been having some family trouble.

I wanted to address it.

May I ask what kind of trouble?

As I said, family.

Ingrid, I'm not sure I understand what's
going on here.

Paul, something unexplainable happened
at the convent last night.

We think Mary may still be with us.

I gotta tell you, I was a little
surprised at the way you talked to

Ingrid. Oh, yeah, I know. Well, this is
that whole wall of silence thing. I

mean, I know it's part of their code,
but... You're looking for my father.

not here.

Oh, hi.

Are you Josh?

Yeah? Great. Um, listen.

You know Sister Ingrid over at the
convent?

Well, uh, we're friends of hers, and we
were just wondering...

Can we talk to you for a couple minutes?

Yes.

Are you with the church?

You don't look like nuns.

No, we're not. We're just visiting
Ingrid.

Josh, we heard about your sister and
we're very sorry.

She's with the Lord.

Is there anything you could tell us
about her? What she was like?

She was a decent person.

We were very close.

That is, before she joined the convent.

We didn't speak to her much after that.

Do you know why she chose to enter the
convent?

Well, things... Things were very hard
here after my brother Danny's accident.

I guess she just needed someplace else
to turn.

How did your father feel about her
entering?

Oh, he didn't want her to leave us.

He loved her very much.

But, like I said, I... After my
brother's death, she just...

changed.

Whoa, boy, she looks like your bishop's
in trouble.

Who's your opponent?

Me.

play by myself or in the park sometimes.

Oh, in the park.

Is there anything else?

No. Thanks for your time, Josh. It was
great to meet you.

Yeah, thanks, Josh.

So you're wondering why we're here.

Yeah, I thought it crossed my mind.

Well, 20 years ago, the Boyles decided
that we were going to take a real family

vacation.

I'll get in the car, you know, go down
the coast and...

He had Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm
and the whole bit.

To take it, things didn't go as planned.

Things rarely did in our household.

The last minute, Dad had some kind of
emergency at work and couldn't make it.

We were all pretty disappointed, but
nobody was really surprised.

Anyway, Jimmy took it the hardest.

Yeah, I can relate with that.

So the three of us hopped in the car and
we went instead.

Without him.

And we stopped on this beach.

Watched the sunset.

Jimmy and I went for a walk.

He said that he couldn't take it
anymore.

And then when we got home, he was gonna
leave.

He made me promise not to tell anyone.

And you kept your word?

A week later, he was gone.

I never thought he'd really do it.

Sounds to me like his mind was already
made up.

I like to think that it weighed on him
as heavy as it did on the rest of us.

Mary, why did you do it?

Mary?

Poor child.

We spoke only last night.

I was the last one to see her.

Can you tell me what you discussed?

She was upset.

She was thinking of speaking with you.

And you persuaded her not to?

Do you know what she was intending to
tell me?

Mary kept a journal.

After the suicide, Sister Anne hid it.

She was trying to keep it from prying
eyes.

Where?

Sister Anne was the only one who knew.

I need your permission to search the
convent for it.

But if the police think Anne's death was
an accident... Sister Margaret, I think

we both know it was something different.

This goes against everything I have ever
believed.

If you're right, if it is Mary's spirit,
why

would she take her life?

Something may have happened to her on
the other side.

Changed Mary in ways we cannot
comprehend.

But unless you allow me to investigate,
I fear there will be more death.

Do what you must.

Josh, hi.

Am I bothering you?

No, no, I was just doing some reading.

Can I come in?

Yes.

Listen, Josh, I have some bad news.

You know Sister Ann Thompson?

Yes.

She died last night.

Mary said she was her closest friend.
What happened?

It's a massive concussion. It looks like
she fell.

Josh, we think maybe she was killed.

No.

First my brother's death and then Mary's
suicide and now this.

I'm being punished.

God is punishing me.

Why would you say that, Josh? Because
we're sinners.

We're all sinners.

My father knows.

We were born unclean. No, no, look,
Josh.

Come on, there you go.

Listen to me.

Mary kept a journal. She wrote in it
every day.

And I think if we could find that
journal, maybe we'd find some answers.

no. The answers are in the book.

In the word.

Who are you?

What do you want here?

Are you Mr. Miller?

Paul Miller?

I'm Rachel Corrigan.

You'll have to leave.

We're trying to get to the bottom of
whatever's happening at the convent.

I'll see you, Josh.

What did you tell her?

Nothing, Father, nothing.

Pray with me.

Father, I didn't... For Mary's soul,
pray.

I ask for forgiveness for my sins, for I
have

tried to do thy will.

That was quick.

It wasn't much of a mistake to settle.

Thirty grand was what you get through a
local homeless shelter.

So why did you need to be here?

Looks like you couldn't forget that
night either.

Why didn't we call, you know?

Visit.

Especially after the old man died.

expert in family relations, but maybe he
couldn't.

Let's go.

Go where?

Anywhere.

Well, I searched a couple of rooms.
There's no sign of the journal.

I checked Anne's room, the kitchen, the
cellar, nothing.

Where's Alex?

In the library.

It's the only place we've yet to look.

The journal in my hand, and I was just
starting to read it.

That's when the room came to. But
there's no sign of it anywhere.

What did Mary sound like when you saw
her?

Angry?

Threatening? Yeah, and there was
something else.

I felt a fear, desperation.

But it wasn't directed at me.

Could she have been trying to read
someone else in the room? Someone you

know was there?

Why would she have a mind?

What about Paul Miller?

Surely you can't think he would do this.

He's an upstanding member of the
community.

Ingrid, listen.

He was here the night Mary died.

And we know they disagreed about her
joining the government, so... I don't

maybe there was something in Mary's
journal that Paul just didn't want made

public.

You said his youngest son died in an
accident?

Daniel, yes.

I'm hooked into our mainframe.

Daniel Miller.

He died a year ago of carbon monoxide
poisoning.

He was working on his car in the garage
and left the motor running and was

overcome by fumes. Never woke up.

Can you get more of his medical history?

I can't see.

Yes.

One visit to the emergency room about
six months earlier. He ingested a

pesticide. Huh.

Close call.

Another accident?

Or maybe it was his first suicide
attempt.

The second time he succeeded.

But why would he do such a thing? Paul
is a pillar of the community. He's a

religious soul.

Paul's a zealot, Ingrid.

He believes that his truth is the only
truth.

His children are paying the price.

You mean Mary, too?

Yeah. But you can't blame Paul for her
suicide.

Maybe it wasn't suicide.

But I saw her jump.

You saw her fall.

She may have been pushed.

If Paul drove his son to suicide and
Mary knew the truth, maybe he tried to

silence her to prevent a scandal.

That's right.

Someone was willing to kill her to get
her journal.

Josh may know something.

You think he can get him to confide in
you?

I can try.

But he's convinced he'll bring down the
wrath of God upon himself.

Yeah, or the wrath of Paul Miller.

My father doesn't want me to talk to
you. He says you just want to cause

trouble. Really? Is that what he says?

What do you think?

Do I look like trouble to you?

Come on. I'll buy you a soda.

I... I didn't know that my sister kept a
journal.

What did it say?

I don't know.

Alex was attacked before she had a
chance to read it, and whoever attacked

took it with them.

Is Alex all right?

She's going to be fine.

Just let me ask you something. Do you
believe in psychics or supernatural

events, anything like that?

Well, the Bible speaks of miracles.

Why?

Well...

Sometimes Alex can do things that other
people don't.

She can see the spirits of people who
are dead.

She talked to your sister Mary, Josh.

And Mary told her about your father.

Well, what did she say about him?

I was really hoping you could tell me.

No. No.

No, you... You're trying... No, you are
trying to trick me.

You're trying to tempt me.

You want me to say something bad about
him.

No, I just want you to tell me the
truth, Josh.

No.

My father is a good man.

My father is a righteous man.

Lying lips are the abomination to the
Lord.

father was right.

We just want to cause trouble.

I've been saving it for you.

Any revelations?

Or else, in fact, the trunk of this car
is really damn cold.

Oh, yeah.

If Jimmy missed us so much, he had a
hell of a way of showing it.

Well, maybe he couldn't find a way to
come home, even if he wanted to.

You're going to spend the rest of this
trip trying to figure this out, aren't

you? Maybe.

It's just my way of passing time.

You must be bored.

20 years.

I'd get just about anything to know what
was going on inside his head.

Yeah, but since you'll never know, why
don't you try to let it go?

Think of it this way.

Your father was estranged and your
brother left.

You stayed behind and you kind of became
like the glue for your family.

Their weaknesses made you stronger.

Anybody can run, Nick.

Jimmy was right. You are the strong one.

That's where Jimmy left.

Even though I never spoke to him.

Never saw him.

I wasn't alone in the world.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

You have no business here. This is a
place of worship.

But we need to talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

My daughter is dead.

Her suicide is a painful memory.

Like Daniel's?

We know what happened.

We know how Daniel died.

He was weak.

I loved him, but his faith would not
sustain him, as Mary's would not sustain

her. You don't believe Mary committed
suicide, Paul?

What are you talking about?

I think you know.

It's no longer just your family.

Alex was attacked at a library last
night.

Oh, God.

Oh, no.

Not another one.

What do you mean?

The anger of the Lord overflows in him.

He can't help himself.

It's my fault.

Who are you talking about, Paul? Who
can't help himself?

I told Mary to keep silent.

To keep Daniel's shame in the family.

I never thought... Josh.

Josh killed Mary. He was trying to
protect me.

Josh knows about Alex. He knows what she
saw.

He's my son.

What would you have me do?

Oh, sure.

You scared me half to death.

What are you doing here?

Rachel.

Rachel says that you talked to my
sister.

Is that true?

Yes, sir.

I had no choice.

Did she tell you that?

You killed Mary.

No. No, no, no. Not me.

It was the spirit working through me.

Use a sword in his hands.

Why Mary, Josh? She never hurt anyone.

No, she was going to hurt my father.

The way Danny did.

What are you talking about?

Danny took his own life.

He was weak. He was weak in spirit.

People would have blamed my father. They
wouldn't have understood.

I tried to tell her to stay silent, but
she wouldn't listen to me.

And then the anger of the Lord rose up
in me, and everything became clear.

You don't have to do this, Josh. We can
help you.

Oh, I don't mind.

When God told Abraham to kill his own
son, Abraham did not falter.

I killed my own sister.

This won't be nearly as hard.

Aren't you ready?

Search the grounds.

You lost your brother and your sister.
How many more have to die?

There but grains of sand, leaves of
grass, winds of

righteousness.

Sweep them away.

What about Mary?

She's here, Josh.

She knows what you're doing.

You know, you would say anything now to
save your life.

Yeah, that's right. You have to jump
now.

Why, Josh?

No. No, you can't be here. You're dead.

You killed me.

Why? No.

No, you wouldn't honor our father. You
were going to hurt us.

No. I would never hurt you.

All she wanted was peace, Josh.

No. No.

No. No, Mary. I didn't know what to do.

She always loved you.

What does this mean?

I don't know what we would have done
without you.

Next time you come to us, force a piece
of quiet.

Faith has many faces.

For the sisters of this convent, it was
a face of silence, of love, of triangle

worship. For Paul Miller, it was the
face of anger, of self -righteousness

without compassion.

And ultimately, it destroyed those
closest to him.

Whatsoever a man soweth.

That shall you also reap.
