Original subtitles

I want you to explain something to me Mr Randall.

It's the gap in my resume isn't it?

Well it's just with your work experience and your schooling.

I know it's the gap.

It's not what it looks like. I had to move back home.

To help my dad.

I see.

You see I've got experience.

Did something just like this at McConnell and Margaratte.

That was five years ago!

I can still do the work.

Well. I'm sure you can Mr. Randall.

But it's about more than just showing up.

We're looking for an competitive candidate.

Okay... alright. .Thank you.

Alright... thank you for your time. I really appreciate it. Thanks

John Randall. Yes! Ms. Bellamy. No, it's fine time to talk.

No, I'm just at my temp job right now.

Sorry. Roger, can you close that window, please?

Yes. Well, I was hoping that I might be able

to speak with you about that position...

Uh-huh. I see. No, just a bachelor's. I see. I see.

I hope you're sewing the right wine with scrumptious feast.

Yeah, what'd you make when you made dinner, Hamburger Helper?

Hey? It's only a Helper.

Hey, dad!

Hey! How'd it go!

It went..and it kept going.

Think you got it?

Let's not jump to any conclusions.

That's a no, isn't it.

Hey hey hey. Have a little faith in your old man, all right?

You weren't there. You don't know what happened.

She didn't mean anything by that.

Okay, Dad. I'm sorry.

Sorry to put it on you girls. I should really keep problems

outside of the house. Well, the real problem we have now is

you're gonna have to eat Becca's cooking. Smells good, Becca.

Better than Chateaubriand.

Dad?

Demon sound.

Really?

What?

It's like an everyday thing now.

I know. Don't be scared.

Dad?!

Not now, Becca.

What's wrong with now? Most people would have moved by now.

It's a strange little noise that pops up every once in a while.

You know that's not true, dad. Especially now.

It's probably an owl or something.

An owl?

Yeah.

Sorry, just to clarify... an owl?

An owl who is probably sick.

I just don't understand why we have to stay.

I mean... It's not like there is anything keeping us here.

We just got Sam off to college.

If we hurry we can switch schools before next semester and get a fresh start.

No. We're not leaving. Grandpa needs us.

I'm not saying we should ditch him. He'd come with us.

Uh-huh. Where to?

I mean... it's not like anyone's gonna buy this place. I mean who would?

People will buy this place, Eliza.

No, they won't.

They'd notice the weird demon sound.

Oh, you mean the sick owl.

I never said this is gonna be easy.

Look, your grandfather's putting us up and

that's just what we have to work with right now.

You should both be grateful.

We could stay with Uncle Kenny.

No.

Dad.

Typical middle-child inferiority complex. I thought you'd be familiar.

Thank you, Eliza.

You are welcome.

Dad, I'm just saying Uncle Kenny has a lot of space.

I'm not gonna bother Ken.

He took care of Aunt Linda! When she got sick.

That's right and he was very nice to take care of your Aunt Linda.

We can't ask him any more than that.

You could swallow your pride now.

Mom would've.

Clear the table, do the dishes when you're done.

Now look. You made Dad cry.

Shut up, Eliza.

So. John. I'm... glad you clicked on my profile.

I'm glad you responded back.

Yeah, it's good...

I'm new to this online dating thing. So...

Yeah...

Actually, I'm not... I've been doing this for about three years now.

Oh wow. No, I mean, that's okay.

You know I just wanna put it all out there.

What I'm really looking for is just an honest relationship. You know.

Me too.

Your profile said you were in sales.

I was. I'm actually between jobs.

It's not what your profile said.

Look, I don't know how to say this but.

I... am not trying to be with some recent divorcee who's “finding himself'.

If that's what this is l..

It's not like that. It's not like that. I'm a reliable guy.

I mean, come on, I got dressed, I got here on time, didn't I?

Yeah, you did.

Where is that waiter'?

Really?

I don't think you could've done that any slower.

I didn't want to wake you.

How considerate of you.

You couldn't sleep either, huh.

I've just kinda trained myself to ignore it.

Does it work?

No.

I'm gonna go live with Sam.

He's in college.

I'm aware.

He lives in a dorm.

I don't care, Eliza. I'll sleep on the floor if I have to.

I can't live here any more.

Becca, we have to stick together.

I mean... Besides, he's got that weird roommate.

I'm almost an adult, Eliza.

I can't stay tied down to Dad any more.

Who do you think is paying for Sam's college anyway.

Grandpa.

That's basically Dad. I mean that's Dad's Dad.

Yeah, but either way we can't depend on this any more.

We're just coasting, Eliza.

And I don't know how much is gonna be left for me.

Uh-huh, and where does that leave me?

I'll leave you this place.

How considerate.

You are welcome. I go to bed.

Good night.

How'd it go.

What are you still doing up?

Geez, Dad! It's like eight.

I don't think your dates last as long as you want them to.

Believe me. That one ended when I wanted it to.

Was she pretty?

I guess. Look, I know you're not happy with me dating again.

You were still a kid when your mom and I really started having troubles,

and maybe it was better that way. You know... for both... for all of us.

Your mom would want me to date other women.

Make them miserable for a change.

Do you really want her back?

I mean I want the good times back. But that's something very different.

Besides I've got the best part of your mother, anyway. I have you.

Geez.

Go get the bed.

Good night.

Love you.

Becca!

What's up?

There's something in my room.

What do you mean?

I don't know. It's just making weird noises.

Do you hear it?

What? Like Dad's owl?

No... It's something new.

I can't sleep here tonight!

Go get Dad!

Whoever it is. Stop it!

I'm serious.

What's going on?

Dad! It's happening again!

Can we all just calm down?

Eliza is sleeping in my room tonight.

Becca. I don't understand...

Dad, get us out of here!

Any job you can, anywhere you can get it.

I can't take it anymore.

Tomorrow.

Just a minute.

Who is it?

It's not funny, Eliza.

How did you do that?

Are you two messing with me?

I'm sorry I yelled at you, Dad.

That's not what I'm talking about.

What?

Did you knock on my door?

She's been with me the whole time.

It's not funny, girls.

You're being weird.

Look. I told you. I'm gonna pull us out of this. Don't make it worse.

What's going on?

He's just under a lot of pressure.

No. He's not under enough.

I'm never sleeping in my room again.

You want mine?

Jon!

Hey! Long time no see.

I wasn't expecting to see you out here today.

Yeah, well, it's Debra, you know. She is always finding the latest craze.

So... I'm sorry to hear about all the crap that you've been going through.

Oh... you know.

Do you need some help finding... work?

Mark, I couldn't ask you to put yourself out.

Hey, no. It's no trouble! All right. Unless you found something already.

Not now... but...

So, let me help!

Please.

It's no trouble. I can do it easily.

Mark!

It's not a problem. What?

I don't need your help.

I see... I was just putting it out there for you.

Yeah. Thanks. I'll be fine.

I hope your family is doing well.

We are.

Take care.

See ya.

Sam! Oh, my God!

Becca!

All right, all right. I'm back from college, not Iraq.

Yeah, it's just been a little longer this time!

It's been, like, a week.

Eliza.

SUP

Sam. You're taking me with you.

What, you need like a ride?

No, like to live.

You know I can't do that.

Why not?

Have you thought this through? Where's Dad.

You remember the noises?

Yeah.

It's getting worse.

We think it's dangerous.

It's in the barn.

All right. This afternoon. Let me just go talk to grandpa first.

Why?

Just relax.

Okay, but you're gonna look at the barn later, right?

Right. I'll go look at the barn later, I promise.

Sam! It's good to see you back home.

Good to be home.

I wasn't expecting you.

Yeah, well, you know. Laundry.

How long are you home for?

Not long. Is Grandpa stirring?

Now it's not really a good time.

Ah. I need to talk to him about something.

I need a few bucks.

Well, I'd help you if I could.

Yeah, I know.

Trust me, I know.

You're not supposed to, you know.

Wow, Eliza. Thank you for almost giving me my first heart attack.

Dad and Grandpa said...

I know what they said.

Tell me, Eliza. Do you believe that rules were made to be broken?

In this house? Sure.

Can I come with you?

No.

How come?

Someone must follow the rules.

Becca!

What?

What if you get hurt.

Call an adult.

Sadly, you're the closest thing this household has to an adult.

Someone has to stop the noises.

We can stop them together.

Fine. Just stay back.

How back.

Way, way back.

What? Like, ten - fifteen feet?

Do you really think whatever that is can't catch up fifteen feet?

How about I'll just tell you when you're far back enough.

Fine.

How about now?

No.

Eliza!

What?

Why are you breathing like that?

Allergies.

I told you just stay way back!

You were trying to trick me.

I was not.

Aha, you were to.

Let me follow you in. I'm bored.

Fine.

Can you try, like, breathing through your mouth for once?

Okay, fine.

I swear, that's not me.

We should go now.

Not yet! We're so close!

I'm serious! Go!

Who is in here?

What's going on?

I went to the barn.

How many times have I told you no!

I just don't understand, Dad.

We can't go! Grandpa said.

I get that... it's just... You've never been in there Dad..

No more buts. We are guests here.

How long until we're not?

Thank you, Becca.

Now, if you don't mind holding down the fort, I'm going out for tonight.

Where?

If you must know, another date.

I deleted your account.

Oh, really? I didn't know. Your Dad's not so dumb. I made a new one.

I forgot he could do that.

Thanks for meeting me tonight.

Thank you for seeing me.

Well. Not that many guys are so charming online.

Ah, well, it's their loss, right.

Hmm. Hello.

Hmm?

You were totally checking out that girl in front of me.

No. No. I thought I knew her.

So. What do you do?

Well. I was in marketing, but now I've made a transition into branding...

Will you excuse me? I'm gonna go see about our table.

Hi! Did I recognize you from earlier?

Leave...

Leave.

"Leave!"

Someone there?

Hey, Dad.

You okay?

Bad night.

I can tell.

Tomorrow I'm gonna call some people.

What kind of people?

I... I don't know.

Like a priest?

A priest.

You've been reading too many scary stories.

Isn't that we supposed to believe in?

Well, I mean, it's what we thought...

Becca, I'm just... I'm not that kind of person who calls a priest.

I just don't believe in... what you called it. That stuff.

Grandpa does.

Well, I'm not calling a priest for your Grandpa.

What about me, Dad?

About us?

Okay.

So, how was your date?

I hope your sister deletes my account again.

Yikes.

Hi, Dad.

I thought you'd gone back to school.

My car is still on the drive way.

Well, I don't count cars, alright! I'm stressed.

I've been watching Grandpa all day. He's been lucid more or less.

What do you want, Sam?

We need to talk.

Well, not right now. Okay?

Whatever.

Check behind the barn maybe?

Yeah, I did.

Hey, no signs of sediments.

And the soil around here's always been pretty clean.So...

I don't know what it is.

So, no idea what's making that sound.

Nothing so far.

Guys, I don't know why this is happening.

You tried calling a priest?

Actually, yeah.

Okay, you've got a number.

Thanks for coming.

Here you go, Father.

Thank you, Becca.

So... we have a little problem.

So I've gathered.

It's the Devil.

It's in the barn, it could be a demon or something I don't know.

Well, well, well. Now I seriously think...

Father... it's just...

What movie was it?

“The Exorcist", right? Or “The Amityville Horror". That was more of a house movie.

Father, we're not making this up.

I'm not saying that you are. But it's puzzling how the world seems to work.

I haven't seen you at St. Joe's for more

than a year and just for Christmas services,

and doubtless in your private lives you refer to the Holy Mother Church

as some... quaint superstition.

But the first person you decided to call is, well, the priest.

It's lovely, Becca. Thank you.

I haven't really tried to raise the girls as anything in particular.

I want them to make their own decisions.

Yeah, he said he didn't even believe.

Becca!

Jon.

Are you guys sure that there's nothing else

in this house needing counsel from the Lord?

Outside of all these noises and creaks?

It's been rough around here.

Seems so, my dear.

All I know is there's something here.

Well, if God wanted you to know that there was something here...

Well, let's say now you have my attention.

Father, can you honestly say that there's nothing here?

The devil is here on this Earth. But not in a way that you would think.

Where would you have me look for?

Let's step outside.

This is where we hear most of the noises.

All right.

Now what?

Do what you do!

Which is?

Oh, come on, Father, I know you know what I'm talking about.

Oh, Jon, I've seen those movies too.

Just... Please look around.

Okay.

Sorry, Jon.

No, I'm sorry for wasting your time, Father.

Well, Father?

It's nothing.

How do you know?

I just know.

Dad, did you hear anything?

I don't know.

Jesus Christ, Dad!

Sorry, Father.

Becca, maybe it's time that we just all...

No, Dad. You know there is something out there.

Just stand up and say it!

Becca, go to your room.

Fine! Something will just eat me there! Thanks for nothing, Father!

Don't take it personal.

Well.

Teenagers.

Yeah.

You know, I was young once too.

But... if there's nothing else...

Yes, of course. You're a busy man, Father. Thanks for coming.

Yeah.

Peace be with you.

Thank you for coming.

Drive safe!

Very cute. Very, very cute.

You think you can hide your stench. I can smell your sulfur for miles.

You listen to me. You leave that family alone. They're no business of yours.

They are not even believers. And believe me, I know.

What is your name and what demon are you?

Huh. Oh. So, You are not gonna answer'?

What demon are you and what is your name?

And Jesus name, I said tell me, tell me your name!

So, you are that important?

You are that important, but I'll tell you this. You know what they say about pride?

Your name.

Your name.

That's clever. Use my voice.

Your voice.

What is your name? What is your name?

What is your name? What is your name?

Do not ask.

I'm meant to be impressed.

Is that what it is?

I'm meant to be impressed.

First you tell me your name!

What?

You know.

It can't be...

No...

No...

It can't be...

It can't be...

How long have you been standing there?

How long have you been standing there?

Oh, hell!

Where were you?!

She followed me!

Why were you at the barn?

Eliza, what happened?

Just...

What happened?

Someone is harboring.

What?

I gotta leave, John. This place has no hope.

What?

I have to leave, John.

What should I do?

I could tell you, but you wouldn't listen.

What was it?

It could be a... demon... demon or something.

Wait. What?

Maybe. Maybe.

What?

You don't want to know.

You are very much mistaken I do want to know! What should we do?

Where's your Father?

In his room.

You need to ask him what he's doing in there.

Why? What does he have to do with it?

I have to go. I have to go.

Guys? What's going on?

Dad.

We need you to sit down.

What is this?

We all need to understand each other.

I'm tired of being confused. Just say it.

What Grandpa is trying to say is we need to tell you about a deal that he made.

And a deal that his father made. And so forth.

What are you talking about?

It's a deal that I'd like to continue.

Sam? How are you involved?

Son, do you really think I came into a surprise inheritance?

Your ancestors came from a small village in Germany that doesn't even exist any more.

The first Randalls in this country had to change their name at Ellis Island

and didn't have a pot to piss in.

It was always Mom who cared about family history.

Of course, her parents had to live in Newport.

Wait, wait. What are you even saying?

Every man has to make the odd deal with the Devil to provide for people in his life.

My deal just happens to be literal.

Is this a fucking joke?

He offered us gold for safe harbor.

You can't be fucking serious right now.

Why not? I've been serious about putting you

and your damn kids up for half a decade.

In my condition.

The pact needs to be renewed. Only blood will do it.

Now I think it would be good for us.

Sam, your grandfather is a very confused old man.

I don't even know what kind of life I'm gonna have outside of school.

The market sucks. I mean you've been there. I don't even have an in demand degree.

You can find out if you try.

Yeah? What about you?

I'm looking.

No you aren't. You say you are, but you aren't.

There's no hunger in your eyes. You can't bullshit a bullshitter, Dad.

This is just easier for everyone.

No, it's not!

I told you he wouldn't understand.

I'm not listening anymore.

Oh. Like you would've been man enough to take the next step. You're lazy.

Leave us alone!

Oh. That's gotta hard to do when you're in my house! With money he provided.

You have nothing. Just eat and shut up.

I'm sure if we all just calm down...

So everything you ever told me was a lie, Dad? There never was an inheritance?

No. There is no such thing as free lunch.

You didn't have to work.

I had to give up more than you'll ever understand!

Like What?

Your sister never smoked a day in her life!

Did you never find lung cancer just a little

bit strange at the age of thirty-six?!

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

It was all settled. Kenny was doing so well. You'd married Margotte.

I'd given with blood what I couldn't give you with my own honest hands.

You're a delusional old man!

We would have been homeless. Maybe dead.

That's the real family curse. Not the money. It's just we're all lazy.

It would never worked any other way for us, Jon. We're the Randalls.

We're God's last proof that men are made with worthless dust and clay.

He couldn't hold a job either, Dad.

You're a man now. You can make your own decisions. I have to make mine.

Who's paying for your gas?

We will find a way.

It's scary out there, John.

Sam. Sam, you can come too.

Sure. Who is gonna pay for my school?

We'll find you a scholarship or something.

Then what, Dad! I don't have a future.

We'll do it together. Trust me.

Just like I trusted you with mom. It may not make

sense, but he's the only one who gets results.

How much?

Forty pieces of silver. Lighten up, John. I take what I can get and don't complain.

What are you asking me for?

I'm not the one doing the asking.

The devil wants someone to take over. Grandpa is too old. That's how it works.

We really can't skip a generation.

So what now?

Now? We have no choice. It's time you meet him.

Okay.

Grandpa?

Hey, do you know where...

Eliza, what's wrong?

I'm ready to go now.

What was it?

I can't.

You have to tell me what you saw. Okay?

It's not what I saw.

Okay.

It's what I heard.

Who he was talking to.

Who was it, Eliza?

Let's go live with Sam. Like you said.

You said that was a bad idea.

Not anymore!

You have to tell me what you've heard.

Watch that root, Grandpa.

I see it. I see it.

Hold on to me.

I'm mighty proud of you, son.

For what?

For showing the spine your father never had.

He's not a bad man. He's just... weak.

Well. That's not going to be a problem for you, I'm certain.

Go in there now. Show him what you worth.

What about you?

I could take on an army right now.

My name is Samuel. Son of Jonathan. Son of... other Jonathan.

I can't offer you Elizabeth or Becca. But I can offer them a good life.

I'm ready to continue the deal.

I'm ready to continue the deal.

I'm ready...

I guess he wasn't worthy.

He wasn't worthy.

My son won't do it.

He won't listen.

But.

Leave us alone!

I'm fucking serious!

Becca!

What?

Don't look down.

What is it?

I don't know. Just don't look down.

Eliza, what is it?

Wait. I just saw something black.

What was it?

I don't know. I didn't see it. I only heard it.

Is it the thing you heard the other night?

I took a picture!

I don't see anything, Eliza.

Neither could I.

You're useless!

I saved your life, didn't I!

It could've been a cat or something, Eliza!

Like Dad's owl, right?

That's it. I'm leaving.

Wait.

What?

We can't leave Dad.

Eliza, Dad isn't going anywhere.

I'm going to stay with Sam.

I can't leave Dad.

Why not?

Someone has to take care of him! I mean someone has to!

Then stay! Okay.

You'll leave me?

Yes.

We're sisters!

I won't leave you. I just... I can't stay here, Eliza.

I have to have my own life. I can't sacrifice it for you.

We have to convince Dad a different way this time.

We'll go through Grandpa.

What's Grandpa gonna do?

Dad will listen to Grandpa.

Okay. Let me do the talking.

Why you?

You're not the most... tactful... speaker.

Fine.

What do you know. My favorite granddaughters.

Is it an okay time, Grandpa?

Okay? It's a great time! Always a great time when you come to visit.

It's just... you're always asleep. And Dad says not to disturb you so.

Your Dad's just a worrywart. That's what happens when you get to be his age.

Becca. Beauty. Why the long face.

Grandpa, we have a problem.

There is nothing I can't fix, I bet.

Grandpa, it's serious.

All right. I'll do a magic trick.

Grandpa, I'm too old for that.

Nothing up the left, nothing up the right...

Okay.

Come here.

But there's a quarter behind your left ear.

Grandpa! What's in the barn?

I was getting to that.

We hear all these weird noises and Becca has been going inside

even though I told her not to...

Eliza!

What?

I didn't think you knew about the barn.

Do you know what's in there?

Maybe.

Well, either way, we have to get you and Dad out of here.

We can't go.

Why not?

Are you dying?

Eliza!

What!

Let me do the talking!

Dad won't leave unless you make him, Grandpa.

Well. That's an interesting point you've made.

Why?

He's just have to walk the path I laid for him.

It's his turn.

His turn to what?

To pay.

Look behind you.

Do you notice it?

Yes.

Do you know what it is?

I don't know.

Don't worry. You will.

What was that?

He's coming.

Who?

Do not ask.

What? Grandpa, what's going on?

Eliza we have to go.

But we need... Grandpa needs us...

Eliza we have to go.

No. What about Grandpa? We can't leave him..

Dad!

Where were you girls?

We were in the house. Grandpa... We have to get out of here

I know. I know.

Did you notice how everything outside of the barn is dead?

Dad. What does it want?

I think... me.

What?

To continue this shitty family gig.

I don't understand...

You don't need to understand, Becca. We don't have time to argue.

I need you to take Eliza, take the car, and get to Uncle Kenny's house.

Dad, what the fuck is this?

Just go. Just go!

Speed limit's twenty-five.

I know, Eliza!

Go fifty.

Ken. Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Uh-huh. Pretty dirty trick putting two teenage

girls in tears in their eyes on my doorstep.

Like a couple of orphans out of Dickinson's novel.

Are they all right?

I don't know. Lnna is watching them. My current wife is hosting...

a benefit, thing. I don't know it's costing me a fortune.

I'd send Sam, but... I don't know where he is.

Ken, did Dad ever tell you anything about a deal?

What, what deal?

At the barn.

No.

Ken, there's a reason why you are rich.

Of course. Derivatives.

No. No. I mean there's a reason why everything fell into our laps.

There is a reason why everything worked out for you.

And why I am just coasting through life. The Devil is in the barn.

I think you mean "the Devil is in details".

No, Ken. The barn. He's in there.

Some kind of joke?

No.No. Come back and see with me.

I know what this is. I know what this is. It's a surprise party! You old clown.

No, Ken, come back with me.

Okay.

We'll do that.

I'll be nice surprised.

Come on.

What the hell was that?

We need to get him out of there.

How?

You are the smart one.

Give me a minute. Let me think.

I can make some calls.

Like your rich friends?

No, the better ones. The powerful friends.

The Governor and the D.A. they both owe me a favor.

You think they'll do it?

Maybe. Tell what you want them to do, Jon?

I don't know. Destroy the barn.

Possibly... Yeah.

What now?!

I don't know. What are you asking' me for? You come up with something!

You're right.

I don't even know what I saw, John.

I gotta fix this.

I gotta go speak to it.

What?

I have no choice.

Leaving is a choice.

I can't. Not for my kids.

You think your kids wanna stay here?

Kenny, I gotta.

No, John. You don't gotta.

I think that this is the part where I'm supposed to

tell you what to tell my kids if I don't make it.

Just make something up.

You can invent something much better than I could ever say.

John.

John!

Hello.

Here I am.

I'm here.

Deal?

How are you doing that?

Deal?

No.

Hi, John.

What?

Do you like me?

Do you like this?

Deal?

Deal?..Deal?

The deal is finished.

Dad!

Becca?!

Who were you talking to in there?

What are you doing here?!

Who the hell were you talking to in there?

Get back to the house!

No, Dad! You have to come with us!

Becca, I don't need you!

Fine.

I'm leaving this place.

I'm leaving this place.

I'm gonna be a man.

Laughter.

Take care of my shit and provide for my family.

Laughter.

I Will!

Laughter.

What are you doing?!

Stand back, Dad!

What are you doing?!

Getting the job done!

Deal?

No.

Deal?

Do not ask.

I can't believe you did that!

Someone had to grow a spine!

Ken, what are you doing here?

I kinda ran into Becca.

Literally.

Oh, God! I'm so...

Don't worry about it.

She insisted on seeing you anyway.

I couldn't leave you guys.

I wanna see this thing for myself. See if it actually shows itself.

It killed whatever is in that barn?

Who the hell knows. Eliza burned the barn down.

Wait. So you are telling me that this thing could just go someplace else.

Who the hell cares where it goes, Ken!

Shit!

Ken, come on.

Whoa whoa whoa, Hang on.

Look, I got a confession to make.

Confession... what?

I made a deal.

A deal?

Yeah.

What are you talking about, Ken?

Well. As usually, I gotta come in and pick up your shit.

Your bloodline blew it.

So now mine gets to continue it.

What can I say? I like my life. I like the way I live.

Don't take it personal.

It's just... It's a refinance.

What... what does this mean?

Well... you die..buddy.

You die.
