[thunder rumbling]

[Kathy screaming]

[Kathy gasping]

[Ruth] Okay, Kathy, you're
almost there.

I'm gonna need you to push as
hard as you can, okay?

Push. [Kathy screaming]

[baby crying]

Ruth, Ruth, is it okay?

What is it?

[Ruth] It's a boy.

[Kathy laughing]

Give her to me.

Kathy.

Dammit, Ruth, give her to me.

[baby crying]

[thunder rumbling]

Hi. [baby crying]

No, no, no.

-I'll get the elders.
-No, no, Ruth, don't.

[floor creaking]

I can take her away.

They will never let you go.

This is what we've been waiting
generations for, Kathy.

[sobbing] You know what
they'll do to her.

You're my sister.

We can run away, all three of
us.

We can... No.

Ruthie, I would never let them
kill a child of yours.

I can't leave. It'd be too
obvious.

Find a hospital, see if...

What will you tell them?

[Ruth sighs]

The baby was breech.

I tried what I could, but you
bled out.

I buried you some soft dirt
after the storm.

Thank you, and be safe.

They'll come at dawn to check
the child.

[brooding music] [baby breathing
heavily]

[baby cooing]

[fingers tapping]

[Kathy laughing] [footsteps
plodding]

-Oh, my gosh.
-What's wrong?

[Kathy] Do you ever quit?
Golly. [laughs]

Sounds like you two love birds
had a great time.

[Kathy] He can't keep his
hands to himself.

[Ken] I can't resist you.

[Kathy laughing]

[lips smacking]

-Mm.
-Ah.

[keys jangling]

Chloe, it's 2:00 AM. Why are you
still up?

I am a victim of
procrastination.

It can wait until tomorrow.

It's due in six hours, Mom.

What have I taught you

about not waiting to get your
work done?

Not helping.

Look, look. [Kathy sighing]

Why don't we go take a shower

and finish this night off right?

[Kathy laughing]

Gross.

-I'll be there in a minute.
-Okay.

-Night, Chloe.
-Mm-hmm.

[Kathy sighs]

We really got lucky when we
met your dad.

Ken's all right. [sighs]

Don't do that. He's been a
great father to you.

But he's not my real father.

[gentle music]

Can you tell me about him just
once?

Not gonna happen, Chloe.

Time for bed.

Fine.

[laptop clanking]

But how's Mr. Wonderful gonna
react

when he sees the flowers someone
sent you?

What are you talking about?
-Go look in the kitchen.

[footsteps plodding]

[Chloe sighs]

[brooding music] [footsteps
plodding]

[Kathy gasps]

God, no. [gasping]

Mom?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Did they, did they
see you?

I didn't see anyone.

They were just slept on the
porch.

Chloe, go to bed.

Whatever.

[footsteps plodding] [brooding
music continues]

[Kathy sobbing]

[card clattering]

[Kathy sobbing] [brooding music

[Kathy sobbing]

[clothes thudding]

[Ken] Hey, are you gonna come
here and join me or not?

[clothes thudding]

[suitcase clattering]

[zipper whizzing]

[pen clanking]

Hey.

[pen clanking] [paper rustling]

[hand thudding]

I love you.

[suitcase clattering] [footsteps
plodding]

[Ken] Kathy.

[door clattering]

[fingers tapping]

[footsteps plodding]

Mom? [brooding music continues]

[door clattering]

[engine roaring]

[latch clicking]

[door squeaking]

Kathy.

[eerie dramatic music]

[staple gun clanking]

Thanks for always helping me
with these, Ava.

I really appreciate it.

Of course, I'll do anything to
help you find her.

Plus, I get to spend the day
with you.

-Oh, yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

That's a bonus, huh?
-Abso-fucking-lutely.

[Ava laughing]

God, I love your eyes.

You're so beautiful.

[dog barking] [lips smacking]

Good morning, girls.

[Ava] Sorry, Mrs. Thompson.

Nothing to be sorry for.

Young love should be celebrated.

Good morning, Ace.

Oh, you look so handsome in your
sweater.

Thank you, I knitted it myself.

[Chloe laughs]

I'll be glad when she's home.

What's it been, nine, 10 months?

A year.

Oh, my goodness, I can't
imagine.

If there's anything you

or your dad need, please... Uh,
Ken.

His name is Ken.

Of course, dear.

If there's anything either of
you need,

please let me know.

Thank you.

She'll turn up. Never lose hope.

[footsteps plodding]

That was a little rude. [laughs]

Was it?

"Ken, his name is Ken," yes, a
little.

Sorry.

I just wish I had some sort of
clue as to what happened.

Like a lead?

Yeah.

Lately I've been feeling like
maybe it was

something I said or did.

Why would you think that? I
mean, did Ken say anything?

No.

That would require
communicating. He just drinks.

I'm sorry, but you gotta go a
little easy on him.

I mean, he lost her, too.

I know.

I mean, you had me. Who does
he have?

The boys, Jack, Jim, Jose.

See? He's hurting, too.

[Chloe sighs]

I love you, Chloe. [gentle
music]

Come on. We have more posters
to put up.

[footsteps plodding]

[latch clicking] [door
squeaking]

[Ava] You said it was bad,
but...

Really, Ken?

He promised he'd have this place
cleaned up.

[Chloe sighs]

[bag rustling]

[garbage clattering]

[paper rustling]

[Ava] What is it? [pensive
music]

Ken, wake up.

[Ken groans]

Ken.

[hand smacking]
-[Ava] Chloe.

Wake up now.

You girls have any aspirin?

[Chloe] What is this?

-What is what?
-Look at me.

-Get off my case.
-Where did this come from?

Oh, that's mine.

[paper rustling]

"My dearest Ken."
-Chloe, please don't do that.

"I love you more than you'll
ever know."

I have to sacrifice this amazing
life with you for Chloe.

Take care of her. Protect her.

"She's special."

That's mine. Give it back.

You've had this this whole time?

This whole year?

How could you not tell me?

'Cause she wrote it for me,
not you.

[pensive music continues]

Look at this place. Look at you.

She wouldn't want this. This was
her home.

You were supposed to be here.
-Yeah, obviously,

neither one of us had a clue of
what she wanted.

Hey, Chloe, just go to your
room.

"I had to sacrifice my amazing
life with you"-

[Ava] Ken.

"For Chloe."
-Don't.

What are you saying?

She left because of you.

[Ava] Jesus, Ken.

Maybe she left because of you.

You didn't appreciate her.

You're nothing but a pathetic
drunk.

That's what you were when we met
you,

and that's what you are now.

Of course, she ran off

with the first guy to send her
flowers.

[footsteps plodding]

This is none of your business.

Look, I've always been nice to
you,

but I've been there for her this
past year

while you drown yourself in
alcohol and self-pity.

[sofa rustling]

[bag thudding]

Ava.

Please tell her I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I'm still drunk, and I'm always
so damn angry all the time.

[sobbing] God, I miss her.

So does she.

I'll tell her.

You have no idea how special she
is.

[paper rustling]

Ken.

Get your shit together.

Keep your promises

[Ken sobbing]

And clean this place up.

[footsteps plodding]

[Ken sobbing]

[Ken screaming] [can clanking]

[Ken sobbing]

[footsteps plodding]

Where are you?

Everything has gone to shit.

Ava said I love you today.

I wanna tell her I love her so
bad, but I can't.

If I tell her, then it's real.

And if I love someone, they
leave me.

[door creaking]

I'm not going anywhere.

What?

Ken left. [exhales]

He's such an asshole.

He said he didn't mean it. It
was the booze and the grief.

[scoffs] Yeah, sure.

I can't wait to move out.
[pensive music]

I stayed here to help him for
Mom.

He just threw that back in my
face.

He's hurting, and you're all
he has.

So just try to be there for him.

It's not about him, is it?

You don't have to hide anything
from me. [laughs]

-Just hold me.
-Got you.

[Chloe laughing]

[laid-back music]

[glass thudding]

[brooding music]

Hit me again, Jimmy.

Man, you sure this is healthy
for you?

[Ken laughs]

[Ken] So, um, who's the old
fossil?

[Jimmy] No idea, started
coming in about a week ago.

Well, he's creepy as fuck.

[Jimmy] Well, tips better than
you do.

[Ken laughing]

Hey, man, sorry I'm late.

I got caught up on the,

how deep are you?

[glass thudding]

This would be number three.

Number five.

Oh, look, who can fucking count.

Another Jameson, Jimmy.

You know, um, [clears throat]

I'm being sincere when I say
this.

You look like shit.

[Ken laughs]

You getting any sleep?

Only what the meds can give me.

Nightmares started back up
again.

Oh, oh, shit.

When did this happen?

About a week after she left.

Not a damn one for 10 years
while we were together,

and now, and now I'm back in
that fucking war every night.

The only thing that takes 'em
away is when I drink.

So I drink, and I drink, and I
drink.

Maybe we should tab you out,
Ken.

No, I'll tell you when I'm done.

Shit, okay.

Um, how's Chloe doing?

[laughs] Yeah, yeah, I fucked
up there.

-Yeah.
-Father of the year, baby.

[hand thudding]

Look, Ken, I mean, you and
Chloe,

you, you've been through a lot.

So, and thinking that, you know,
maybe you want-

Cut the bullshit, Tim.

Not a fucking therapy session.

You know, maybe that's not a
bad idea.

What are you talking about?

Meet Dr. Jameson.

Point taken.

[glass thudding]

You know, Ken, the other day I
was thinking

about when Billy died.

Oh, man.

Remember how you were the only
one

that did anything after the
explosion?

Our friend Billy, he, um, he set
off a mine

when we were on patrol, and, um,
he was bleeding out

on the side of the road.

And the rest of us, we, we
didn't do shit.

We just stood there all slack
jawed,

like a, like a, brainless
zombies, you know.

Not Ken here.

Ken was the first one to Billy.

He got on there,

and he started pressing down on
Billy's arm,

well, where Billy's arm used to
be, and remember that?

Tim, I did what I fucking had
to do.

But remember what you said to
him?

Remember how you were like, you
know,

"Billy, you, you can't fall
asleep, Billy.

You, you gotta stay awake. It's
gonna be okay"?

You didn't know that, but that
didn't stop you.

As long as Billy could stay
awake, you stayed by his side.

And I, I wanna do that for you
now, okay?

I mean, you're not, you're not
sleeping.

So if you're gonna be awake, you
know, let me help you.

[exhales] You're like a brother
to me, Ken.

And, and we Marines, we, we
stick together, right?

So there's anything you need,
I'm there for you.

Oo-fucking-rah.

Jimbo, gonna let the Marines
take care of this tab,

oh, and the, uh, tip, too.

Hey, Ken, remember that Chloe
is hurting, too.

Can you be there for her?

[Jimmy] What are you gonna do?
He's spiraling again.

Yeah, I know. [sighs]

But you know, for starters,

maybe the next time he's in
here,

you can cut him off at three.

Yeah, I can do that.

Think she'll ever come back?

What do I owe you?

It's on the house.

I, I appreciate that, Jimmy.

Um, I'll see you around.

[pensive music]

Sorry about all that drama back
there.

It was enlightening.

Yeah, thinking of getting a
new tattoo.

-Hmm?
-Maybe a dove.

[laughs] What is your
obsession with birds?

Just think they're majestic,

and beautiful, and powerful.

[laughs] Powerful?

Sure, I mean, gravity can't
hold them down.

That's power.

[Chloe laughs]

Why a dove?

It's you.

[bed creaking]

So the raven on my right
shoulder represents me,

and the dove on my left would be
you.

[Chloe laughs]

Ava, about earlier, I... It's
fine.

If you're not ready to say it,
it's okay.

Thank you.

[bed creaking]

Mm. [Ava exhales]

[Chloe exhales]

Your mom's right, you know.

About what?

In the note, she said you were
special.

[Chloe laughs]

[lips smacking]

[Ava exhales]

[door creaking]

[footsteps plodding]

Hey, Chloe, wake up.

-What?
-Hey.

Someone's down here and wants to
talk about your mom.

Hurry up. Y'all get ready and
come downstairs.

[footsteps plodding] [pensive
music]

Here they come now.

Hello.

Please, sit down.

[footsteps plodding]

[chair creaking] [pensive music
continues]

My name's Jacob Montgomery.

I'm a lawyer, and I've been
working for your mother

for many years.

-We've never heard of you.
-No.

I can't speak to her motives.

Nevertheless, she's been missing
for almost a year.

And as a result,

her property must legally be
passed to an heir.

Along with a minuscule checking
account and a few shares

in a cheap bit of crypto, Kathy
was the owner

of small cabin in the Ozark
Mountains.

From my research, it's somewhat
isolated,

about eight hours from here.

A cabin in the mountains, my
mother?

This can't possibly be.

She would've told me about this.

I assure you it's very real.

And this cabin now belongs to
you.

Where is she?

I'm afraid I don't know.

She last visited me 18 months
ago

and revised her living will.

Well, what's the name of your
firm?

Oh, I'm in, uh, private
practice, limited clientele.

If you'll excuse me, I have
other business.

Enjoy your new property.

My number's in the folder.
-No, wait.

How long has she owned this
property?

My understanding is that it's
been

in her family for decades.

I'm afraid I don't know anything
else.

[chair creaking]

Thanks, I'll find my way out.

[footsteps plodding]

[chair creaking] [pensive music
continues]

What the hell was that?

This is good, right?

How could this possibly be good?

Because this is it. This is
the lead. [laughs]

[Chloe laughs]

The Ozarks are only about
eight hours away, he said.

We could get there by tonight.

No, no, way, no, we're not
going.

How could we not go?

There could be answers as to
where she went.

Uh, what if she's there?
-She made her choice.

She left here on her own free
will.

-I'm going.
-Dammit, Chloe.

She's gone, and I am your
father, and I have-

You're not my father, okay?

And if you really loved her,
you'd already be in the car.

[footsteps plodding]

[chair creaking]

[Ken sighs]

[door clattering and squeaking]

[Ava] Chloe, wait.

How could he not go?

I don't know, babe. Just
breathe.

Ugh, asshole.

[laughs] What did I do?

[laughs] Sorry, Sean, not you.

Any fat checks today?

Sorry, no fat checks today.
Looks like junk mail.

Chloe, look.

[Sean] Oh, everyone on my
route has one.

Thank you so much.

It's the least I could do.

I hope they find her.

Y'all have a good day.

See, everyone's looking for her.

We'll find her.

Not everyone.

[Chloe sighs]

A cabin in the mountains?

Yeah, and I had no idea.

Well, [sighs] I get why
Chloe'd wanna go,

but why don't you?

What else didn't she tell me?

What else am I gonna find?

What are you afraid of finding?

Either she's dead,

or she's not the woman that I
thought she was.

Or even worse, Chloe could be
right,

and she left because of me.

Tim, I couldn't handle that.

[pages rustling]

This cabin looks awesome.

Yeah, it's charming, like,
rustic.

Mm-hmm.

I just can't shake the feeling
that she might be there.

Chloe, if you wanna go, I'm in.

[dog barking] [birds chirping]

Hey, Chloe.

Hey, Chloe, I'm sorry, I...

[hand knocking]

Chloe, sweetie, we really need
to talk.

[latch clicking] [door creaking]

[Ken breathing heavily]

Jesus, Chloe.

[pensive music]

[pensive music continues]

Are you okay?

I don't think I am.

Hey, we will find her, Chloe.

It's not that.

It's just,

I don't think I ever even really
knew my mom.

I mean, I saw her every single
day of my life,

but I never knew her.

It's, it's gonna be okay.

Just makes me wonder.

What else is staring me right in
the face that I'm missing?

It's like that old saying.

You can't see the forest through
the trees.

[somber music]

[Ken] Hey, Tim, Chloe went to
the cabin.

[Tim] By herself?

Nah, Ava went with her,

but I'm afraid of what they're
gonna find out there,

and I don't want 'em to face it
alone.

[Tim] Well, what's their lead
time?

Oh, man, minutes, hours, who
knows?

She cut her phone off.

[Tim] Well, I'll be ready when
you get here.

No, man, that's okay. I
appreciate it, though.

[Tim] Are you sure?

Tim, I'm straight, man.

[Ken breathing heavily]
[brooding music]

Dude, if I need anything, you'll
be my first call.

Okay, brother?

[bag rustling]

[zipper whizzing]

[brooding music continues]

[door squeaking and clattering]

[pensive music]

[lantern thudding]

Looks like it hasn't been used
in a long time.

But this would've been a fun
place for family vacations.

I wonder why your mom kept it a
secret.

[Chloe sighs]

[book thudding]

I'm thinking she kept a lot of
secrets.

Okay, one thing at a time.

Let's just look around and see
if we can find anything.

[pensive music continues]

[latch clicking]

[switch clicking]

[lid thudding]

[drawer rasping]

Chloe.

[footsteps plodding]

What?

[Ava] Is this your mom?

I think so.

She was so young.

I don't think I've ever seen a
picture this old.

Did she live here?

[Ava] And who's the other girl?

I don't know.

I saw another room.

[picture thudding] [footsteps
plodding]

[pensive music continues]

[stairs creaking]

Ava.

[footsteps plodding]

What?

Is that blood?

I, I mean, it could be,

but it, it's probably really
old.

And whatever's in your head,
just get it out now.

What are those?

[pensive music continues]

[page rustling]

[Chloe] What the hell was my
mom into?

Well, looks like we have our
next clue.

[hand rasping]

[paper rustling]

[Ava laughs]

This says, "Malphas is a
powerful demon,

second in command under Satan."

[both laughing]

[Chloe laughing]

You're not gonna believe this.

He's a fucking bird.
-Hey, don't knock birds.

They are deceptively powerful,
okay?

Not very intimidating for a
demon.

[Ava laughing]

[paper rustling]

-Chlo.
-Mm.

Uh, what was that flower your
mom got that night?

Mm, magnolias or morning glory.

-Marigolds?
-Yeah, that's it.

What is it?
-Marigolds were his flower.

[brooding music]

How is my mom mixed up in all
this?

We're gonna find out.

Hey, and we're gonna find her,
okay? [laughs]

[Chloe laughs]

[paper rustling]

[pensive music]

[Chloe] Oh, my God.

Chloe, go to sleep,

-Ava.
-What?

I think we need to leave.

Like, now?

[page rustling]

This talks about a ritual to
summon Malphas

where he possesses a vessel?

A vessel?

-Like an evil genie?
-No, Ava.

[page rustling]

The vessel has to have
heterochromia.

Oh, shit.

It says that it makes it
easier for the demon

to enter as the aperture is held
open.

But, but I don't understand.
What is aperture?

I mean, it was just talking
about heterochromia,

so maybe, maybe your eyes.

Mm, um, Well, eyes are the
windows to the soul.

So your soul is open? [eerie
music]

But open for what?

Possession.

Chloe, do you wanna go?

We can leave first thing in the
morning.

No, it says that his power is
at its highest

after the last moon before the
Festival of Souls

on October 5th.

Like, tomorrow?

If, if these people are still
here,

we're in serious danger.

Okay, let's go. Let, we have
to go.

Do you think this is why my
mom left?

Did she leave because of me?

[pensive music]

[energetic rock music]

♪ You never call my name ♪

[door clattering] [car beeping]

Ken, what are you doing here?

Coming after your disobedient
ass.

Well, we have to leave.

Why, did you find something?

I'll tell ya all about it later.

Oh, no, no, no, no, I came
eight hours.

You're gonna take me back in
there,

and you're gonna tell me what's
going on.

Look, he has a right to know.

We can just leave when the sun
rises.

[Chloe groaning]

[Chloe sighs] [footsteps
plodding]

God, I'm trying to wrap my
head around this.

So, Chloe, you're telling me you
think

your mom is a devil worshiper?

This might not even be hers,

but this cabin is, and it was
here.

[sighs] Then why are you so
anxious to leave?

Whoever these people are,

[pages rustling]

They're looking for someone with
heterochromia.

Uh.

Hello.

I know, but demons aren't real.

The crazy-ass people who
worship them are.

[Ken sighs]

Ken, she's right.

[hands thudding]

[sighs] Okay, all right.

Wow, um, okay, let's get a hotel
room tonight.

We'll talk about it in the
morning

and we'll figure this out, okay?

[items clattering]

What the fuck is that?

[items clattering] [brooding
music]

Ken?

It's okay. Ain't nothing gonna
happen to you.

Whoever's out there, you better
get the fuck outta here.

[Julian] We're here for the
girl.

I don't know nothing about no
girl.

[Julian] Oh, I think ya do,
and I think she does, too.

The window to her soul is open.

She is his vessel.

It's them. They wanna kill me.

Ain't nothing gonna happen to
you.

[Julian] Give us the girl, and
you live.

You get the fuck outta here,
and you live.

[brooding music continues]

Oh, shit.

[Chloe and Ava screaming]

Let 'em go.

[Chloe gasping]

Hey, we meet again,

my friend.

Wait, you're the creepy old
fucker from the bar.

You been following me?

"Sacrifice and offering you
did not desire,

but a body you prepared for me."

What?

Hebrews 10:5.

Tell me, uh... Back the fuck up,
old man.

[Julian laughing]

Ken,

what would you sacrifice

for a, a better world?

[brooding music continues]

[Ken breathing heavily]

There ain't gonna be no
sacrifice here tonight.

[Julian laughing]

Unfortunately, there is.

Frank.

[door clattering]

Ken, this is my associate,
Frank.

You could say Frank is the
welcoming party.

What the fuck do you want?

[laughs] Well, I've already
told ya.

We're taking the girls.

-No.
-Both of them.

What about Ken?

Oh, well, Frank'll give Ken a
nice warm welcome.

Make him feel at home.
-Stop, stop.

Please stop. [stick thudding]

[fist thudding] [Ken grunting]

Stop.

Are you sure you're willing to
sacrifice Chloe?

[tense music]

-Cut her throat.
-No.

[Ken] Wait.

[tense music continues]

[fist thudding] [Ken groaning]

[body thudding]

[Chloe sobbing]

[stick thudding] [Ken groaning]

[foot thudding] [Ken continues
groaning]

[Chloe sobbing]

Dad, get up.

[laughs] Oh, we've been
waiting a long time

for you, my dear.

Dispose of our unwanted guest.

[Frank] My pleasure.

Let's get our girls home.

[footsteps plodding] [crickets
chirping]

What is this?

[laughs] Home.

Sean, go prepare the sanctuary.

[birds chirping] [suspenseful
music]

Sorry ladies, no fat checks
today.

-Oh, my God.
-Sean?

[Julian laughing]

Oh, child, you have no idea
what's happening, do ya?

Is my mom here?

What did you do to her?

She is here. [laughs]

You'll see her soon.

And all your questions will be
answered.

This I promise, my child.

Hey, we're gonna be okay.

Touching. [laughs]

Your new home awaits.

[eerie music]

[shovel rasping]

[body thudding]

[arm thudding]

[shovel rasping]

[clothes rustling] [brooding
music continues]

Honey, what are you, what are
you doing?

I'm leaving you.

After everything I've done for
you.

After all I put up with and
sacrificed,

you can't wake your lazy ass up?

[gunshots blasting] [explosions
blasting]

[soldier screaming]

Can't leave anybody behind.
[air raid siren blaring]

What the fuck?

[Ken] You left them to die, Ken.

You piece of shit.

No, no, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to, I, no, I'm
sorry.

I didn't mean to leave 'em.

You can't leave Chloe, too.

Wake up, you son of a bitch.

Wake up. [hand smacking]

[dramatic music]

[soil rustling]

[brooding music] [soil continues
rustling]

Yeah, Julian, it's done.

He's in the ground.

Okay.

I'll keep an eye on things from
the station,

protect you, and make sure the
ceremony goes undisturbed.

Hail Malphas.

[phone thudding]

[Frank exhales]

[brooding music]

What the fuck?

[dramatic music]

Get the fuck outta here, you
son of a bitch.

[Ken grunting]

Yeah, you fucked up, asshole.

[foot thudding]

[Chloe grunting]

Can you get free?

[grunts] I don't think so.

[footsteps plodding]

[door clattering]

Mrs. Thompson?

It's so nice to see you girls
again.

I brought you some food.

[dish thudding] [crickets
chirping]

[footsteps plodding]

Gorgeous little thing.

[feet shuffling]

You know, Chloe, I don't blame
you.

If I were a few decades younger,
I might have a go at her.

How long have you been
watching us?

Oh, it's not you that we've
been watching.

It's her.

What do you want?

All in good time.

Elder Julian will explain
everything.

[tray clanking]

Nice to see you again, dears.

[footsteps plodding]

[hand thudding]

Wake up, you son of a bitch.

[hand smacking]

[chair clattering]

[Ken laughing]

You're not gonna get out of
that.

Basically, you're fucked.

[wallet thudding] Sheriff.

Do you know who I am?

You're the dumb-ass that buried
me alive.

Now you either tell me where my
daughter is,

and I kill your ass quickly, or
I will draw it out of you.

And I promise you, I promise
you, you son of a bitch,

you won't like it.

I ain't telling you shit.

Oh, well, hmm.

[Ken laughing] [pliers clanking]

Last chance.

[saliva sputtering]

[Ken laughing]

Well, I was hoping you'd say
that.

-Give me.
-No.

No, no. [dramatic music]

Oh, oh, God, you, [blood
squelching]

you motherfucker, you
motherfucker.

Now there's nine more.

Now you tell me where my
daughter is.

Do you think Ken is dead?

Don't think like that.

I can't even begin to imagine
the horrors he went through,

and I just treated him like
shit.

He loved you.

You'll always have that, right?

[pensive music] [crickets
chirping]

I'm just not sure he ever knew
that I loved him.

[Chloe sniffing]

Ava, whatever happens, I just
want-

You don't have to say it.

Thank you for being there for
me this past year.

Not going anywhere.

[Chloe and Ava laughing]

[door squeaking]

Pardon me.

Hate to interrupt.

-Leave us alone, you creep.
-Ava.

What do you want?

Well, it's, it's time to
prepare yourself.

Tonight at midnight, we begin.

Begin?

Midnight, October 5th.

That's right.

Ooh, you are a smart one.
[laughs]

He is most powerful on October
5th.

That's why we had to wait and
watch you for so long.

What are you gonna do to me?

Small ritual. [brooding music]

The ritual has

three phases.

First phase is simple enough.

A blood sacrifice

will summon Lord Malphas from
his slumber.

The second phase,

well, now that is a little more
complicated. [laughs]

The, uh, vessel,

that's you,

must willingly invite Malphas
into them.

I will never do that.

[laughs] Oh, never?

That's why I'm still alive.

[Julian] Smart girl.

What's the third phase?

Malphas's most devoted follower

must sacrifice themselves to
him.

This act of ultimate love
sanctifies the ritual.

You're insane.

Did you even read what was in
the books?

Why? Why unleash something so
evil?

[laughs] Well, for the glory
of Malphas, of course,

to bask in his sight.

He's a fucking demon.

A demon in some eyes,

God in others.

Malphas is a builder.

He will build

a beautiful utopia

on earth. [laughs]

Now does that sound

like something a demon would do?

You really are insane.

We'll see.

It's almost midnight.

I must prepare our special
guests.

[footsteps plodding] [pensive
music]

[door clattering] [crickets
chirping]

[Frank screaming] [blood
squelching]

Please, no, I don't know.

Bullshit, and I'm not gonna
stop with your fingernails.

You got 10 toenails, you son of
a bitch.

[Frank screaming]

[blood squelching] [Frank
continues screaming]

And we're just getting started.

A compound, a compound, a
compound,

we have a compound.

Where?

Uh, it's deep in the woods two
miles east.

And what's this about my
daughter's eyes?

[Frank laughing]

It's not bullshit, and she's
not your daughter.

You son of a bitch.

[fist thudding]

[Frank groaning]

How many are at the compound?

Too many, you'll never get to
her.

-Yeah?
-Uh, about a dozen or so.

Any guns?

No, no.

You know, you really are a
piece of shit,

and you're a fucking cop, for
Christ's sakes.

My only loyalty is to Malphas.

He's gonna make this a new and
wonderful world.

[Ken sighs]

[Ken laughing]

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

[Ken laughing]

You tell your piece of shit
God I'll be sending more.

No, no. [dramatic music]

[bones cracking]

[crickets chirping]

[phone ringing]

-Hello.
-Tim, it's Ken.

Hey, it's about fucking time.
Did you find Chloe?

They took Chloe.

What? Who?

This Goddamn cult.

They beat me unconscious.

Tim, they buried me alive, and
they took Chloe and Ava.

Ken, you need to go to the
police.

Shit, the sheriff is one of 'em,

and that creepy old fucker from
the bar, he's the leader.

Shit, okay, where are you? I'm
on my way.

I mean, I can send you the
address to the cabin,

but you'll never make it in
time.

The compound is, like, two miles
east

and out through the woods.

Ken, how long is that drive?

About eight and a half hours.

Okay, I'm gonna be there in
the morning.

You need to wait for me,

Tim, she called me dad.
[sobbing]

She called me dad for the first
time.

They tried to beat me to death
in front of her,

and she still called me dad.
[sobbing]

Fuck, okay, do not go on any
kind of suicide mission.

You hear me? You need to wait
for me.

She's my daughter.

I will stroll through the gates
of hell.

I will lay my soul down at
Satan's feet to protect her.

And Tim, from what I'm reading,

that's exactly what I'll be
doing.

Do you have any weapons?

Yeah, I have a few. They
busted my phone.

I'm using the cops phone.

I'm sure they're gonna be
tracking it, so I'm gonna bust it

as soon as we're done here.

I'm gonna be there as quickly
as I can.

You be careful, and whatever you
do,

you get those girls out of
there.

Yeah, oo-fucking-rah, baby,
oo-fucking-rah.

[phone clanking]

[weapon thudding]

It's midnight. [suspenseful
music]

Time has finally come to begin.

Please, just, just let us go
home.

Soon, but you haven't found

what you came for. [laughs]

Jacob. [laughs]

[door squeaking]

[footsteps plodding] [captive
whimpering]

You were at my house.

We had to get you here, now
didn't we?

It was a lie?

No, the cabin does belong to
your mother and the family.

Get her outta here.

This is a family affair.

[chains clanging]

-Get your hands off me.
-Don't hurt her.

[Ava] It's okay, it's okay.

Leave us.

Who, who is that? [captive
whimpering]

Oh, I think you can guess.

[dramatic music]

Mom. [Kathy whimpering]

My apologies.

[sobbing] Chloe, I'm so sorry.

Mom, what's happening?

[sobbing] They weren't
supposed to know about you.

I tried to protect you.

I thought we were, thought we
were free.

Oh, but we found ya, didn't we?

And it's all thanks to you.
[laughs]

[dramatic music]

Kathy.

Oh, Kathy.

-Ruth?
-It's been so long, Kathy.

Kathy, there wasn't a day that
went by

that you weren't in my thoughts.

I wish I had gone with you.

Why didn't you?

Uh, just scared, I suppose.

But don't worry. I didn't tell
them anything.

They found me.

Julian never stopped looking
for you.

Jacob was the one that finally
found you.

You didn't tell them anything?

No, I swear.

I swear.

-So they don't know?
-No, sh.

[dramatic music]

Don't know about what?

What have you been hiding

from us all these years?

Nothing, I swear.

Oh, so nothing?

No secrets?

I'd hate to think there were
secrets between us.

Well, well, now that's a relief.

We,

we were so close.

Did you tell them anything?
[Kathy screams]

Do they know about,

now that just doesn't sound

like nothing to me.

Julian, please.

I am going to slowly carve

little Ruth up

until she tells me what the big
nothing is.

[Ruth laughing]

She lived. The child lived.

She has the eyes.

Ruth.

[knife rasping] [Ruth gasping]

Ruth.

You killed my sister.

[laughs] No, that was all on
you.

In fact, we are all dealing

with the consequences of your
choices.

Fuck you, Julian.

[Julian grunting]

What happened to you?

You used to believe. You were
devout.

[Kathy laughing]

I took one look at her eyes,

and I knew I had to save her,

even if that meant sacrificing
myself.

Oh.

-Stop.
-What about me?

Leave her alone.

I deserve a say in it.

I did say this was a family
affair.

Remember?

You're a fucking bastard. Do
you know that?

[Julian laughing]

It is in honor that the vessel
of Malphas

should be of my own blood.

[Kathy whimpers]
-No.

-No.
-I'm so sorry, baby.

[Kathy whimpering]

[hand knocking]

[Sean] Master, the moon nears
its pinnacle.

Then it's time to begin.

[fist thudding] [Julian grunts]

Mom, run. [feet thudding]

[Kathy] Get off of me, get off
of me.

[Kathy gasping]

Let phase one of the ritual
begin,

a summoning sacrifice.

No.

Lord Malphas,

please accept this offering

and grace us with your
magnificent spirit.

We spill this blood with awe

and honor of your mighty power.

I love you. [sobbing]

[knife rasping]

[Kathy gasping] [body thudding]

[somber music]

[pensive music]

[eerie music]

[ground rumbling]

[fire crackling] [brooding
music]

[leaves rustling] [crickets
chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Bring in the girlfriend.

[door clattering]

[footsteps plodding]

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe, don't
look at her.

Look at me. [chains clanging]

It's time for phase two, Chloe.

You must invite Malphas into
your body,

and we will spare her.

I won't do it.

Stay strong.

It doesn't matter what he does
to me.

[Ava screaming]

[knife rasping]

[utensil clanking]

[dish thudding]

[chair creaking]

[door squeaking]

[dramatic music]

All right, I need you to stand
up real nice and slow.

[book thudding]

Mrs. Thompson?

Oh, Mr. Williams, thank God
you're here.

They have Chloe.

What are you doing here?

They took me from my own home.

They have your wife, too.

Wait, you saw her?

With my own two eyes. [pensive
music]

Where are they keeping Chloe?

I'm sorry. I don't know.

I haven't seen anything but this
room.

Wait.

[fire iron rasping]

You said, the door was unlocked.

What's that?

You said they locked you into
this room.

Mrs. Thompson, that door wasn't
locked.

Oh?

Um, I suppose one of 'em left it
unlocked.

Can we go?

[pensive music continues]

And I suppose this is just
some light reading for you.

[book thudding]

I was just reading

about how Lord Malphas will
feast on your soul.

[Mrs. Thompson screaming]

[Ken grunting]

[fire iron clanking]

Where are they? [Mrs. Thompson
grunting]

[Mrs. Thompson] It's too late.
It's already begun.

[knife rasping] [blood
squelching]

Mrs. Thompson, are you okay?

Oh, shit.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

I'm losing my patience. [Ava
whimpering]

Look at your mother, Chloe.

Is that what you want for Ava?

Or

do you just not love her enough?

[body thudding]

[both grunting]

[bone cracking] [Jimmy groaning]

[body thudding]

[Jimmy groaning]

For nine months, I went to
your bar.

[Jimmy groaning]

What? What are you doing?

[bone cracking] [Jimmy groaning]

Why are you watching us?

I can't. [groans]

Can't what?

[Jimmy groaning]

[bone cracking] [Jimmy
screaming]

What was that?

Go check it out.

Consider it done.

[footsteps plodding]

Hail Malphas.

[footsteps plodding]

It's my dad, isn't it?
-Quiet.

You are my child,

not his.

Don't go getting your hopes up
for some happy reunion.

If it is him, he'll be dead
soon.

[Julian laughing]

[Ava screaming]

[Chloe] Please stop.

[Ava screaming]

She's a strong one.

[groans] Oh, okay, okay.

We've been watching you,
[groans]

you and your daughter since your
wife left.

Yeah, I figured that much out.
Why?

It wasn't time.

[Ken] For what?

[Jimmy groaning]

Oh, you don't know?

Tonight [groans] Lord Malphas
goes into his festival.

[Jimmy laughing]

Tonight, October 5th?

That's right, tonight.

[Jimmy groaning]

[Jimmy laughing]

What's so funny?

[Jimmy laughing]

A whole world, a whole world
of pain descends upon you.

[Jimmy groaning]

[knife rasping]

No, no, Lord Malphas, please
protect me.

He won't save you from me.

[knife rasping] [blood
squelching]

[Ken growls]

[footsteps plodding]

Shit.

Where is he? [sighs]

We have to find him before he
causes more problems.

We need to split up, check every
building.

[Ava screaming] [Julian
laughing]

Ah, tell me.

Uh, how does it feel?

How painful it must be

to care for and love someone

so deeply,

someone who doesn't feel

the same for you.

Don't listen to him, Ava.

Words.

Just words.

Ava,

love is action.

[pensive music]

Love is sacrifice.

Now I have hurt you so much,

and Chloe has done nothing.

And she knows that only she has

the power to save you.

Shut up.

[Julian laughing]

Look at her.

She's all angry.

Would she be so angry

if what I'm saying wasn't true?

Poor Ava,

we've been watching you,

how you've been there for Chloe.

Your love for her is clear

even to us.

Remember, Ava, love is action.

Love is sacrifice.

And you have sacrificed for
Chloe,

[Ava sobbing]

Haven't you?

Yes, I've sacrificed for her.

I put my life on hold for her.

[laughs] Of course, you have.

Chloe and her missing mother
have consumed you.

And what has Chloe sacrificed?

Huh?

What actions has she taken to
show you

that she loves you?

Has she even found it in her

to utter those simple little
words?

"I love you."

No, I think not.

Ya see, she can save you,

but she is selfish.

[Chloe] Don't touch her.

No, she has done nothing

to show you love.

We know.

We've seen everything.

You won't guilt me into
sacrificing myself.

[laughs] Ava, did you hear that?

She doesn't even feel guilty.

Oh, no, she's content in
accepting your love, your support,

and in giving you absolutely
nothing in return,

not an ounce of guilt.

Oh, I can cut ya, and beat ya,

and kill ya.

She will not care.

So selfish, uncaring.

[sobbing] That's not true.

Isn't it, Ava?

[suspenseful music]

[hands thudding] [Sean grunting]

Jesus, how many of you are
there?

[bones cracking] [body thudding]

I know she loves me.

I see it in her eyes every day.

[Chloe exhales]

Oh, Ava, thank God.

God?

No, I'm afraid not.

There is only Malphas here,

and he's losing his patience.

[hands smacking] [Ava screams]

-No, please.
-She is going to die

unless you save her.

[knife rasping] [Ava screaming]

[blood squelching]

[sobbing] I can't do this
anymore.

Don't... Ava, look at me.

I love you.

[sobbing] I love you so much.

I invite Malphas into my vessel.

God.

Ah, now that wasn't so bad,

was it?

[Chloe screaming]

[dramatic music] [fire
crackling]

Are you even a lawyer?

You really are slow.

You've been two steps behind
since the start.

Really?

By my count, I'm up four on your
little family,

and I'm gonna keep killing until
I get my daughter back.

Oh. [laughs]

See, that's what I'm talking
about, two steps behind.

She's not your daughter,

and her real daddy is taking
good care of her.

You lured us here.

Don't blame me for your
mistakes. [laughs]

So [exhales] now what,

hero?

I kill you, I get my daughter
back,

and I burn this fucking bitch to
the ground.

Oh. [laughs]

[knife rasping]

[Jacob screaming] [dramatic
music]

[foot thudding] [Jacob continues
screaming]

[blood squelching]

[Chloe screaming]

What's happening to her?

Excruciating pain.

Once the vessel adjusts to the
power of Malphas

that is flooding it,

we can move on to phase three.

[Chloe sobbing]

-Dad.
-Chloe.

I'll assume they're all dead.

You're damn straight they are.

Well, you're too late for both
of them.

Chloe, baby, baby, baby.

[Chloe] Behind you.

[blood squelching] [Ken
screaming]

[elbow thudding] [Ken grunting]

That was your one shot, and
you fucked it up.

You stop what's coming.

Maybe not, but I can make damn
sure

you're not around to see it.

-Dad, it hurts.
-It's inside of her.

Chloe, you okay?

[Chloe screaming]

[blood squelching] [Ken
screaming]

[head thudding]

[Ken grunting]

It's too late.

He's here.

Then he dies, too.

[arm thudding] [Julian
whimpering]

[Julian screaming]

[blood squelching] [Julian
continues screaming]

Die, bitch.

[body thudding]

[Ava] The keys are in his
pocket.

[knife clattering]

[chain clanging]

Okay, let, let me out. Let me
out.

I'll guard the door, and you
help Chloe.

All right, all right.

[chain clanking]

[chain clanging] [Chloe
whimpering]

Okay, come on.

-Here, take this.
-Okay.

Okay? All right, here we go.

[Ken grunting] [blood
squelching]

Dad? [dramatic music]

[body thudding]

[Ken gasping]

Chloe, I've always loved you.

[flesh squelching]

[knife clanging] [blood
pattering]

[eerie music]

[blood sloshing]

[footsteps plodding] [ominous
music]

[fire roaring]

[fire crackling] [ominous music
continues]

[Chloe inhales]

[Ava] Hi, sleepyhead. [laughs]

[laughs] Hi.

What happened?
-You've been sleeping.

[Chloe and Ava laughing]

Ugh, I had the craziest dream.

Did you? Was I in it?

[gasps] Am I the girl of your
dreams?

[both laughing]

No really, what happened?

You know what?

I can't even remember.

It doesn't matter. [Chloe
laughing]

Ava, let me go.

Ava, stop. You're hurting me.

[Chloe gasps]

It's okay. [laughs]

I have you now.

Ava?

Please, what's happening?

You and I have work to do.

Who are you?

I am Raven,

[Chloe whimpering]

He who builds.

I am Malphas.

[Chloe groaning]

[Chloe gasping]

Do you feel it, the power?

[Chloe groans]

All I feel is pain.

[Chloe gasping]

Pain is power.

[Chloe gasping]

Soon.

[Chloe groaning]

Oh, the unspoken tongue of these
pathetic swine.

I can read minds?

With time, so much more.
[Chloe groaning]

[Chloe gasping]

And Julian, your most devoted,

he's already dead, and he didn't
sacrifice himself for you.

My dad fucking killed him.

You're adorable.

No, no, no.

[dramatic music]

[Chloe exhales] [pensive music]

Mom?

My beautiful girl.

[Chloe gasping]

You hid this place from us.

I had to keep a lot of things
from you for our protection.

Mom, I'm scared.

It's okay. I see now.

What?

[pensive music continues]

-I see now it was my fault.
-No.

It wasn't your fault.

It wasn't Ken's. It, it wasn't-

I was wrong to keep you from
him.

[eerie dramatic music]

No, Mom.

All this blood has been spilled

because we kept you from him.

Please.

I'm in his pain now, Chloe.

He's embraced me in his power.

[Kathy whimpering]

I love you, Mom.

[Kathy sobbing]

[Kathy laughing] [eerie music]

You are mine.

[Kathy laughing]

[brooding music]

[door creaking]

[floor creaking]

[latch clicking]

[door clattering]

[item clanking]

[Ken] Hey, kiddo,

[pensive music]

You're not my father.

[bottle thudding]

[Ken exhales]

His power is flooding your
essence,

and you're fighting it.

How do I stop it?

[Ken laughs]

Dammit, baby girl.

Don't you get it?

You can't stop it.

He's too powerful.

[brooding music]

What is meager, pathetic

little meat chute like you to
come against me?

Please don't.

Everyone that loves you leaves
you.

I will never leave you.

I am everything you cared about.

I am everything that you love.

I am your whole world.

It's all me.

Now wake up.

Wake up. [crickets chirping]

Mm, mm, mm.

[laughs] It's nice to finally
meet you, Chloe,

in the flesh at least.

[Chloe] Malphas?

[pensive music]

That's right,

and soon I'm you.

Hmm.

[item thudding]

I'm in your mind,

your heart,

your soul.

I know every thought that you've
ever had.

I know you better than anyone
ever has, ever could.

You don't know shit.

Oh. [laughs]

Oh. [eerie music]

I know what it's like to be
abandoned by the ones you love.

My father banished us,

labeled us evil, demons.

[Malphas laughs] [pensive music]

The Almighty held us in his
hands

and spat us out like swine.

Ah, see? You understand.

But we questioned one thing.

Why?

Why did he need all of you

when he had all of us?

When Lucifer showed him

that his new creation wasn't
perfect,

he turned on us, struck us down,

[Malphas laughs]

Banished us.

The Bible says you're evil.

Huh. [laughs]

Ah, he says that you're just as
evil, born of sin,

a sin no less or greater than
mine,

a betrayal no less egregious in
his eyes.

And for what,

being born?

A punishment from him realizes
what?

We were right.

[crickets chirping] [pensive
music continues]

[knife thudding]

But it's all okay now

'cause you're with me,

and I'll never leave you.

Oh, we are going to do wonderful
things together.

What do you want from me?

I want you to know that it's
not gonna be all bad.

You see, I am a builder,

and I am gonna build this world
into the utopia

the Father always wanted.

The Father?

[Malphas laughs]

Yes.

And when he sees it, he'll know.

Know what?

[crickets chirping] [brooding
music]

That

despite being banished,

despite

being abandoned,

despite an eternity of pain,

despite being unloved,

I still love him.

[Malphas grunts]

[Malphas sighs]

But what these poor, poor,

loyal disciples don't know is

that in order to build a new
paradise,

I'm gonna have to destroy
everything,

starting with them.

You say you're not evil.

Good doesn't kill people.

It doesn't destroy. [Malphas
laughing]

Oh, no? [pensive music]

What about his good creation,

those good and redeemable toys
of his,

and Sodom and Gomorrah,

the great tribe of Hittites,

the Gad, the Dan?

Explain his great flood.

[fist thudding]

How is his genocide any
different than mine?

- It's not the same. - Oh.
[laughs]

[eerie music]

You don't fool me with that.

You don't fall for that
horseshit either.

The pain should be gone by now,

and our powers should be kicking
in.

Powers?

[laughs] I told you.

We have the ability

to read minds.

We also have the ability to
control the minds of others.

But well, that'll take a little
bit longer.

[pensive music]

Are you mind controlling me now?

No, no, [laughs] no, no, no,
no, no.

The attraction and empathy you
have for me,

well, that's genuine.

[door creaking]

[Ava laughs]

Good, you're awake. [eerie
music]

I only exist within you.

You're my vessel.

Remember?

Gather the others. Assemble at
the fire.

[footsteps plodding]

[door creaking]

It's time for the final
sacrifice.

You killed my dad.

No, Ken killed your dad.

Ken killed my family.

He should have died at the
cabin.

We trusted you.

How, how could you be a part of
all this?

We've been waiting so long.

I've been waiting so long.

[dramatic music]

I was raised with one single
mission.

Now that you're here, it's done.

You should have been dead years
ago,

but that bitch hid you.

What?

Oh, there it comes.

We've lost so many years of
his glory on earth.

Well, I mean, she is right.

This should have happened years
ago.

[Ava] It was satisfying to
watch her plead.

Don't even think about my
mother.

[laughs] Lord Malphas's
power's kicking in.

[footsteps plodding]

They're ready.

Malphas is going to destroy you.

He'll destroy everything.

Oh, come on now, spoilers.
[hand thudding]

He promised us heaven on earth.

Why should I believe you?

Well, eventually. [laughs]

Take her.

No, no, no, no.

[chain clattering] [Chloe
gasping]]

[footsteps plodding]

[Ava exhales]

The time has come.

Those of you that remain, be
blessed.

You all must gaze upon this
space

and welcome our Lord Malphas
into this plane.

[Devotees] Hail Lord Malphas,
hail Lord Malphas.

-Ah, listen to them.
-Hail Lord Malphas.

Hail Malphas. [laughs]

Pathetic sheep. [exhales]

I cannot wait to slaughter you
all and feast on your hearts.

Listen to me.

Malphas doesn't care about you.

He'll kill you.

He'll kill you right after He
takes control of me.

Do not listen.

Look. She's desperate. [laughs]

She'll say anything.

Remain steadfast in your faith.

[Devotee] Hail Malphas.

[Devotee] I am yours, O Lord.

Oh, such devotion.

-I will not die here.
-Oh, oh, of course not.

It's me and you forever.

Wait until you gaze upon the
creator's face

as he sees what I built for him.

[Devotee] What if she's right?
This all seems crazy.

What, what am I doing here?

Oh, what is this?

Doubt?

You, help me.

Please,

Please.

You have doubt in you?

No, priestess, I am loyal. I'm
loyal to Malphas.

Liar, he's fucked.

No, I-

Then you should have no problem

laying down your life for him.

Purge this cancer of our
numbers.

No priestess, I'm a believer.

I'm loyal, I'm loyal.
[screaming]

[hands smacking]

Oh, now, now that one, that
one was on your soul.

I mean, you can't be good and
kill people, right?

Oh, hey, um, did you consider
Ken good?

I men, he did kill a bunch of
people tonight

for you.

I mean, well, [laughs]

his soul was stained by the
blood of others.

So yeah.

You know, maybe that's what kept
him up all those nights,

all those nightmares,

all those screams in the dark.

[Malphas laughs]

What do you think he was trying
to drown out

with all that alcohol?

Fuck you.

[Malphas laughing]

And now it's time for the
final sacrifice.

Ava, please don't do this.

I thought you loved me.

I do love you.

[dramatic music]

Ava, stop.

Can't move.

[Malphas] Oh, ah,

you read her mind before she
could swing.

Shut up.

[Malphas laughing]

[dramatic music]

Untie me.

What's happening?

-No, stop him.
-Please.

[Devotee] Sorry, high
priestess, this isn't me.

I, I, I can't control myself.

[rope creaking and clanking]

[feet thudding] [tense music]

[Chloe] Kill yourselves.

[dramatic music]

[knife rasping]

[devotee coughs]

[knife rasping] [dramatic music
continues]

[Ava] What have you done?

It's over.

The final sacrifice.

Oh, what to do with her?

I don't know.

Who are you talking to?

[fire crackling]

He's here. [Chloe whimpering]

She lied to you.

She manipulated you.

She killed your father.

All the... She broke my heart.

Oh.

Still, you love her.

Yes.

I love you.

Let me go.

[Malphas laughing]

[fire crackling] [somber music]

I release you

from my love, from my heart,

from my life.

[Ava grunts]

[Malphas laughing]

Thank you.

Hail Mal-Malphas.

[Ava whimpering]

[body thudding]

Look at everything she's done
for me, my most devoted.

[Chloe gasping]

How do I stop it?

There's no stopping it.

Once I die, it's over.

[Chloe sobbing]

What if there's no vessel?

No, Chloe.

No, stop, stop, stop, Chloe,
stop.

[blood squelching] [Ava
screaming]

Chloe. [groaning]

[Chloe screaming]

[Chloe sobbing]

[gentle music]

I always loved your eyes.
They're so beautiful.

[Chloe sobbing]

[pensive music]

[dramatic music]

[brooding music]

[Malphas] Now, now, now, now,
now, now,

welcome back into your mind.

[Malphas] Wait.

[brooding music continues]

Come on, Ken. Where is this
place?
