Look at her face.

(yelling)

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

(woman gasping and groaning)

For this animal act you will forever remain an animal,

- [Voiceover] Brothers and sisters, you know the way.

And you must follow that path to righteousness.

I will tell you here as I've told you so many times before,

and though you may run from the devil,

and though you may bar your doors from the devil,

and though you may cross your chest with objects

to ward away all the devil that

man has ever conjured in the image,

it is the devil within that has sure (mumbles).

For each of us a gateway to heaven or hell,

a battleground for good and evil.

- Try being a waitress.

That'll teach you a thing or two about good and evil.

Want a ride?

Want a ride or not?

- Don't just stand there, get in.

- Okay.

- Close the door.

(door closing)

- Having a bad day?

- Sort of.

- Thanks for the ride, I think.

- Sure.

- Friendly, aren't we?

- Lay off.

- Did you pick me up just to be grouchy all day?

- I'm not grouchy.

- I didn't mind walking, you know?

You can pull off over here and just let me out anytime.

I don't mind.

- I'm not pulling over, so let's drop it, okay?

- Okay, fine.

If that's the way you want it.

Nice weather we're having, huh?

- Oh, great.

Great.

- Look, just let me off right here, will ya?

Just pull over on the side of the road and let me out, okay?

Thanks a lot.

(car door slamming)

(tires spinning)

(car door slamming)

- Are you going to help me?

(zipping)

I'm not gonna beg.

Just if you're going to help me, help me.

Don't just stand there.

Please?

- Get in the car.

Gun it when I tell you.

Gun it!

(tires spinning)

Damn.

(car rumbling)

- [Woman] Don't just stand there.

- Okay, okay, I'm coming.

My name's Cam Rollins.

- Lenora St. Clair.

- Where you headed, Lenora?

- To Charlotte.

- Live there?

- No, but I'm going to, if it's the place.

- What place?

- The place I'm supposed to be.

- (laughs) I'd usually know more

about where I'm not supposed to be.

- Where's that?

- In the army.

I just got out a couple of months ago.

- Oh really?

Well, I was a waitress.

- Oh.

- I'm not going to be doing that anymore.

I'm really sorry about what happened back there.

- It's all right, Lenora.

(slow dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

(shouting)

- Ssh.

- Anna. (mumbles)

- It's all right, it's Esther, it's Esther.

Ssh.

This time you'll be free.

I'll make the trade on my life.

My soul for yours.

This time you'll be free.

(woman sobbing)

(growling)

(woman screaming)

(Lenora screaming)

- Lenora, Lenora, are you all right?

- I don't know.

- You blacked out.

We ran off the road.

You almost killed us.

- I'm fine.

I'm just a little cold, that's all.

- Lenora, what happened to your hand?

- I'm just fine.

I just, I just, I just must've cut myself, that's all.

- Put this on, put this on.

We'll go out of the car.

Go on, it'll be all right.

(short slow music)

- Lenora?

- I'm fine.

- You had these blackouts before?

- Once.

- When?

- I don't know.

- Oh good, you almost killed us.

Now you don't want to talk about it.

- Half an hour before I picked you up.

- Today?

We're going to get you to a doctor, huh?

- I don't think a doctor will understand.

- You're one damn stubborn woman, you know that?

There's got to be something you're not telling me.

- There is.

- Well?

- I'm not sure you'd understand.

- Try me.

Give me a chance, huh?

- I'm not sure I understand.

- You mean about these blackouts?

- They're not blackouts exactly.

- What do you mean?

- I see things, visions.

I'm being pulled through the forest by a man,

and then something grabs me.

- Is it like a dream?

- Not really.

It's more like a broadcast, and I'm tapped into it.

Somebody keeps pulling me into these mountains.

- Uh, listen, Lenora, if I ride with you to Charlotte,

will you go see a doctor?

- Damn you, I'm not crazy!

(door slamming)

(slow dramatic music)

(speaking foreign language)

(car revving up)

- What are you doing?

Lenora, why did you leave me like that?

What are you doing, Lenora?

(speaking foreign language)

(Esther and male voice speaking foreign language)

- [Esther And Male] The single way to release

the soul cursed be to curse another.

(Esther and male voice speaking foreign language)

- [Voiceover] Speak the words and (mumbles)

- [Voiceover] Lenora.

(woman crying)

(growling)

(woman screaming)

(tires squealing)

- What are you doing, Lenora?

Lenora, stop the car.

Stop the car, Lenora, right now!

Look out, we're going over the cliff!

(tires squealing)

Slow down, Lenora.

Watch it!

(Esther and male voice speaking foreign language)

- [Esther And Male] I offer to the prince of another world,

dark father of the dead, a soul.

My soul for trade.

A daughter for a mother.

Add thy blood and forsake thy soul.

Dark father, take my soul.

(Male voice speaking foreign language)

(slow dramatic music)

(speaking foreign language)

(fire crackling)

(glass shattering)

(tires squealing)

- Pull over, Lenora.

Let me out of this car.

Stop this car!

You're going to kill us, Lenora!

Will you stop this car?

Look out, Lenora.

Please stop this car.

Watch, watch!

Stop it!

- If you try and stop me, I'll run us both off this cliff.

- No!

Stop.

Lenora, look out.

Lenora!

Stop!

(horn blaring)

Look out, Lenora.

Watch it.

Stop this car.

(thudding)

Stop.

(crashing)

Pull over, Lenora.

Will you pull over?

What's wrong with you?

You're running off the road, Lenora.

Will you stop?

Please stop.

What's wrong with you?

Will you wake up?

Whoa, Lenora, stop the car!

Look out.

Oh my God.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You nearly killed us again.

- I don't remember.

- You don't remember.

Well, I remember I was walking by myself.

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry.

This car's not going anywhere, but I sure as hell am.

(car door slamming)

- Please don't leave me.

I'm scared.

- All right.

You're going to walk with me down the road, okay?

You know, there's nobody going to believe this stuff.

- I believe it.

- Lenora?

Lenora, the road's the other way!

Lenora?

Damn.

- Esther.

(slow music)

- Esther, what are you doing here?

- I used to play in here.

I wasn't supposed to, but I did.

I did it on those nights that you left me alone,

when you told me not to be afraid.

But I was.

(thudding)

- You've used DelGatto's things here, haven't you?

Didn't you?

- I, I made a trade.

A soul for a soul.

- Whose soul did you trade, Esther?

- Mine.

- Esther, you don't know what you've done.

- Something did go wrong.

The trade didn't take.

Another soul became involved.

- You brought a stranger into all this, Esther?

- I did it for you.

Tomorrow at sunrise you'll be free.

- But at what cost, Esther?

But at what cost?

(tree branches rustling)

- Lenora?

Lenora, I'm sorry.

Now let's go see if we can find the highway, huh?

(kissing)

- This way.

- Lenora, it's not that way.

- Are you going to the grave?

- Yes.

- Don't stay long.

It's getting dark.

Aaron, I'm sorry for what I did.

- There's no one to blame but myself.

- It'll turn out all right.

I pray that it will.

- Praying to who?

(slow dramatic music)

(water flowing)

- Hey, you all right?

It's getting dark.

We ought to get out of here.

(woman sobbing)

Hey, what's going on?

(woman sobbing)

Come on.

Let me in, will ya?

- You wouldn't like it.

- Let me try.

- You already think I'm crazy.

- No, I don't.

- Just before I picked you up, I saw a vision in the car.

She was dressed sort of funny, but she looked just like me.

- Maybe you picked her up.

You've been driving a long time, Lenora.

- And just now I saw the man in my dream,

the man with a knife.

- Is that why you yelled?

- But that's just it.

I wasn't afraid.

I feel like he needs me.

- Who is he?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

Do you still want me?

- Yes.

- You were wrong about me.

- Yeah, I guess I was.

- It was only you, Aaron.

(short dramatic music)

- Aaron?

I'm Cam, Lenora.

Cam, not Aaron.

What's the matter with you?

Will you wake up?

(woman crying)

(gasping)

(slow dramatic music)

(slow mysterious music)

- Anna?

- We had some trouble up the road.

- Trouble?

- I can't move my car.

- I'd like to be of help, but I um...

- No, can we use your phone or something?

- There's no phone up here.

- I'm Cam Rollins and this is.

- Lenora St. Clair.

- Lenora.

It's getting dark.

You better come back to the cabin with me.

(orchestral music)

- He's the one.

The man in my dream.

- Lenora.

Maybe he'll give us a ride out of here.

Lenora?

- There's someone here.

This is Esther.

- Hi, I'm Cam Rollins, ma'am.

This is Lenora, Lenora St. Clair.

- Oh no, it's can't be.

- Be who?

- They had some trouble on the road, Esther.

- Your hand, what happened to it?

- An accident, this morning.

- Sit down, I'll fix it for you.

- Yeah, we really appreciate the hospitality, ma'am,

but Lenora and I should be on our way.

- Oh no, you can't go into those woods after dark.

- What Esther means is that it's easy

to get lost out there at night.

- It's beautiful.

May I?

- Please.

(short slow music)

I made it for my wife.

She loved it very much.

- He has a room full of glass upstairs.

- I'd like to see this room.

- It's this way.

- Sit down.

That's not a bad cut.

It'll heal fast.

- Mrs. McCallum?

- Miss, I'm not married.

- When you first saw me you thought

I was somebody you knew, didn't you?

- Just an old woman's eyes playing tricks.

- Aaron said I reminded him of someone too.

- Lenora, come upstairs.

You gotta see this.

He made all this stuff.

- It's beautiful.

- At first it's just raw glass,

then you breathe life into it, like being an alchemist.

(slow mysterious music)

- An alchemist?

- Who are magicians who turn lead into gold.

At least that's what they told everyone they were doing.

- What were they really doing?

- Changing themselves.

- Mr. McCallum, both you and Miss McCallum

thought you recognized me.

Who did you think I was?

Please.

- Esther, show her.

Show her.

- It's me.

- Her name was Anna.

- Who was she?

- My wife.

- Where is she now?

- She's dead.

- I had a dream.

In my dream I saw you and another man.

- No, Aaron.

- What you saw in that dream was real.

Look at this.

- You had a child.

- [Aaron] That child is my daughter.

- You have no right.

- The child in the picture is Esther.

- You're Aaron's daughter?

- That's impossible.

You've aged.

- And Aaron hasn't.

He doesn't grow old like me.

- Come on, you expect us to believe that, huh?

Come on, let's go.

- Wait.

I want to hear the rest of this story, please.

- (sighing) When we first came to the mountain a magician

by the name of DelGatto fell in love with Anna.

He wanted her, so he put a spell on her

and he took her away from me.

I followed him, then I fought with him.

But Anna, Anna was killed.

- But you're still young.

- And that's the curse that has kept him alive

through all these years.

And tonight at twilight a doorway to Hell will open,

and demons will come through to claim their prize.

- Get away from me!

- You can't escape.

- Just watch us.

(dramatic music)

- Listen, we wish you no harm, but you are in great danger.

- Listen to him, Cam.

- How do I make you understand

that you've been drawn into this?

- Cam, I don't think I can leave.

- Lenora, you're coming with me now.

- Listen, if you must, just get the truck outside.

I do wish I could do more for you.

You've conjured up your spirit, Esther.

And that girl is your bait.

- [Cam] Let's go, let's go, let's go.

How do you start one of these things?

(engine starting)

(slow music)

(car rumbling)

(heavy breathing)

- Esther.

Please, Esther.

Esther, please close the door.

Esther, close the door.

(door closing)

(wind howling)

(slow dramatic music)

Anna.

Anna.

Oh, please, Anna.

No.

(groaning)

Not again.

Oh please, not again.

(rumbling)

(grunting)

(mysterious music)

- [Cam] These woods give me the creeps.

- [Lenora] I feel like I'm being watched.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

Please hurry, Cam.

- I'm driving as fast as I can.

(crashing)

(growling)

- What do we do?

(oozing)

- Wind your window up.

(slow dramatic music)

(growling)

(fire crackling)

(growling)

(thudding)

(glass shattering)

(snarling)

(screaming)

- [Lenora] Cam, what if the things

Mrs. McCallum said were true?

What if those things are after me?

- [Cam] I don't know, I don't know.

- [Lenora] I feel like we're being watched all the time.

- [Cam] Ssh.

- [Lenora] Cam, I'm really scared.

- At least we're on our way out of here.

Damn, it's the end of the road.

(slow mysterious music)

I don't think we can get around this.

(thumping)

(glass shattering) (screaming)

(dramatic music)

(growling)

- Gone, it's gone, it's gone.

Ssh.

We've got to get out of here, Lenora.

I'm gonna be right back.

We gotta get out of here.

(slow sad music)

- Esther.

Esther.

Esther.

I'm so sorry.

- You're not to blame, Aaron.

Be strong.

- I can't.

- At dawn when the doorway closes, you'll be free.

- Esther.

- Free.

(crying)

(mysterious music)

- Anna.

(animals calling)

- Listen.

Did you hear that?

- Lenora, we gotta keep moving.

The highway can't be too far.

Come on.

(animals calling)

(Cam mumbles)

(trees crashing)

(kissing)

- Thanks.

- Well get out here, don't worry.

It'll be all right.

- See the trouble you can get into hitchhiking?

- Well, you made me get in the car.

(dramatic music)

- Ah!

(growling) (screaming)

(birds squawking)

(growling)

(animals calling)

(growling)

(screaming)

(punching)

- [DelGatto] Anna.

Anna.

- Lenora?

(water running)

(dramatic music)

(splashing)

Lenora!

Lenora?

(mysterious music)

(dramatic music)

(rumbling)

(thunder clapping)

- Anna?

- Where am I?

- Safe.

- You're DelGatto, the man in my dream.

- And you are the woman in mine, Anna.

- I'm not Anna.

Anna is dead.

(woman crying)

Anna is dead.

- But you are Anna and your place is with me.

- What do you want from me?

- Only your love.

- Lenora!

(rumbling)

- She's gone through the doorway.

I've got to go after her.

I've got to go in after her.

(thunder clapping)

- You're not going to take her from me again.

- She's mine.

- [Aaron] No.

- Look at her face.

- [Aaron] No.

(DelGatto laughing)

No, no.

(shouting and groaning)

(screaming)

For your animal act you'll take

this curse and set me free.

(groaning)

- You shifted the balance. (groaning)

(thunder clapping)

(rumbling)

(slow music)

- Now you'll be safe.

(screaming)

- Whoa, no, Lenora!

- Anna! (screaming)

(crunching)

- Oh, God!

- It's all right.

- Where's Aaron?

- Anna?

- I've got to help him.

- No.

- Isn't there anything we can do?

- Anna.

(dramatic music)

- The trade set him free.

- No, Aaron set himself free.

(wind howling)

(slow orchestral music)
