Conjuring the Cult (2024) Movie Script
1
[Glass shattering]
Hey, bug, are you ready?
Hello.
Hey. I'm home.
Okay.
God damn it!
Stop putting empties
in the fridge.
Okay. Where are we going?
Hello?
Hey, I know you're here.
I can see your car
parked outside.
Hey, what time did you say your
friends are coming over?
[Crying]
Masha?
Masha?
Hey, Masha. Hun.
Are you in here?
Masha?
Masha bud.
Are you in there, honey?
No.
Masha.
[Sobbing]
I can't even work in
the garden anymore.
Everything reminds me of her.
And the nights.
Nights, they're the
worst of it all.
I can hear her.
She cries in the night.
Dead people don't cry, Gregory.
I know.
And know when I say this.
I'm not compelling you to
completely forget about Mary
nor your time together.
We do need to find an enduring
connection to the deceased
while embarking on our new life.
Now, the key word in that
sentence, Gregory, is life.
Letting yourself live.
Does anyone else have anything
to share with the group tonight?
David, do you have something
you'd like to share?
Hey, my name is David Bryson
and I was born and raised here
in Bremerton.
Some of you probably
already know, but, um.
Uh, four months ago.
I lost my daughter.
Masha.
Suicide.
And a month after
that, I lost my wife.
She left me because she
knows as well as I do that my
daughter killed
herself because of me.
David, you know that's not true.
You cannot keep
blaming yourself.
People keep telling me
that I need to move on.
That I need to move forward.
I want to, but every time I try.
I just think to myself,
what's the point?
You know what?
Why am I even doing this?
To move on, David.
We have to progress.
In a way that we
have to progress.
No matter what events
have transpired.
If I could, I'd like to go back
and do things over, you know.
But you can't.
And you know what else
I can't do, Gregory?
Anything?
Yeah. I don't know if it's
apathy or if it's
depression, but
I just don't have the
energy to do anything.
And so I just sit on the couch
and I mindlessly scroll through
the channels because.
After everything
I've been through.
The worst part about all
of this are the nightmares.
What do you dream about, David?
You know about a Ouija board.
How fucked up is that.
No, David. It's not.
It's perfectly normal to want
to speak to our
loved ones again.
I mean, isn't it so wonderful
that you love something someone
so deeply?
That you feel this
much about them.
It truly is a beautiful thing.
Yeah, well, I'm really
jumping for joy here, doc.
And you know, my personal
feelings on Ouija boards or
psychics or voodoo mysticism.
Yeah, well.
I don't even have the
energy to do that.
There anyone else that has
something they'd like to share
with the group today?
You have something to share.
We're very sorry to hear
about your daughter, David.
You were here last
week, weren't you?
Yeah, I was.
I'm glad you shared
your full story.
It hurts, but it'll help.
You should never, ever
blame yourself, David.
Thank you.
That's, um.
Very kind.
Of course.
The Ouija board
can help, you know.
You just have to be careful
with what you let in.
I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah. Thank you again.
Are you four all here together?
We belong to another
help group as well.
We come here not only to
support each other, but to
support those who
desperately need it.
Sometimes people just want to
be listened to,
voices to be heard.
Okay, that makes sense.
We don't normally do
this, but we can help you.
Come to one of our meetings.
Uh,
thanks, but I don't.
I don't think I'm going to
be coming back to this one.
Precisely the reason
we're offering.
We can help you.
We can help you close out that
chapter with your daughter.
Take care of yourself, David.
Masha, is still hanging
on to you as well?
You can feel it.
Hey, wait a minute.
How do you know my
daughter's name?
Sometimes, if you
listen closely.
Their voices can be heard.
Just.
Be careful,
if you decide to continue
with this on your own.
Thou shalt not screw around
with things thou
does not understand.
Or else.
So, Keno.
- What?
- Destruction.
If you change your mind.
Damn it!
Hey.
Hey.
I should have all
this gone by tomorrow.
Dad's picking me up at four to
get the rest of the stuff, okay?
No, don't.
Don't start.
I can't deal with
this right now.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to think
that I don't care because.
I do.
I will always continue
to love you and Masha.
Thank you.
I guess I needed to hear that.
I'm sorry that things
turned out the way they did.
It just.
Things got complicated.
I got to go.
Private stay out.
[Masha's voice] Dear diary, I
don't know what to do anymore.
It's like a big rain cloud is
following me around
all the time.
And I guess my diet or
my feelings or something.
Really, I don't know, I just.
[Many voices speaking]
Just wish it would all
go away.
Figure it out for us today.
It's too much.
I'm so overwhelmed.
I wish there was a clear
answer.
Why, why, why, why?
Maybe this is just a.
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Masha?
Masha?
What the fuck?
Yeah. Hey, is this
is this Casey?
Hey, Casey, this might sound a
little bit weird, but this is
David Bryson.
I'm Masha's father.
Thanks for agreeing
to meet with me today.
Not a problem, Mr. Bryson.
Oh, please, call me David.
So I've been reaching out to
some of Masha's friends since.
You know, truth
be told, I didn't.
I didn't know my
daughter that well.
I mean, when she was younger,
she was my little
buddy, you know?
But she grew up, and, I don't
know, we just kind of seemed to
drift apart.
Me and my dad too.
Can I get one of those from you?
Aren't you a little
young to be smoking?
It happens.
It does.
But I mean,
seriously though, you guys
had to have been close, right?
I mean, I remember hearing
your name a few times.
We were.
Was she happy?
Well.
Masha. She was she was
struggling with something.
You know, I mean.
She. There were a couple times
we'd go to our
friend Megan's house,
and she started to
drink a little bit, and.
Then she'd just start crying,
but like, bawling, crying.
Um.
She'd say there was something
she wished she could tell us,
but she just couldn't.
Do you know what it was?
No, um, I mean, I know she had
people she was talking about
her depression with, but.
She seemed fine for
the most part, I mean.
She had a lot of friends.
Do you happen to
know who they were?
Um, I found this photo.
Do you happen to know who any
of those other people are?
I'm sorry.
Um, it doesn't look
like anybody I knew.
Thank you.
And I keep having the same
recurring
dream over and over
and over again.
And it messes with
you, you know?
I mean, it really,
really messes with you.
Because I keep waking up.
But for the love of God, I
don't ever remember
falling asleep.
Are you sleeping often, David?
Yeah, I mean,
it seems like it's the only
thing I really want to do.
Is there anything else that
brings you joy these days?
No. Not really.
No.
I see.
You know, I keep waking up in a
cold sweat and I just sit there.
And all I want to do
is see Masha again.
I just want to talk to her.
When you tell her that I'm
sorry, but every time I see her.
It's terrifying.
Why do you feel
so guilty, David?
And she just stares at me, and
I don't I don't know if that
look is a is a look of shock
or if it's a look of hate.
But she's not there.
Masha isn't really there.
David.
This is a dream.
This is your subconscious.
This is.
Uh, something you're
feeling guilty about?
Masha isn't holding anything
against you because she can't
hold anything against you.
It is you.
That has this harsh judgment or
hate, as you called
it, onto yourself.
Only you.
I think she's trying to
tell me something.
David.
Why are you punishing
yourself like this?
Because I wasn't a good father.
David, this wasn't your fault.
Now, the sooner that you can
move on to truly being able to
grieve, to honor her.
To move on.
You're the only one that
can take that step.
Fucking hell.
What do you want?
[Together] To help.
To help?
If you won't join one of our
meetings, then let us at least
do a cleansing.
At your home.
A cleansing.
I know you can feel it, David.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have
shared it with the group.
Masha's spirit is but a few
feet above our heads.
Waiting for you to listen.
Either answer her or don't.
But as long as you continue
like this, the
dreams won't stop.
A cleansing.
Fine.
But then you just leave
me the fuck alone.
Great. We'll meet
you at your house.
Do you need the address?
[Together] We know where it is.
Come on in.
Wow.
You feel that?
What?
It's like she's screaming.
What screaming.
How?
There's something unusual here.
I feel it too.
What are you saying?
What are you saying?
This is different.
Okay, I like I don't
know what you're even.
Shh.
Oh, Jesus.
What took you so long?
It's freaking
freezing out there.
What are you doing here?
Uh, hi.
Did I come at a bad time?
No, not at all.
No. These are friends from
my grief support group.
Okay. Well, I just
came to get my mail.
Oh, shit.
Come on in.
I'm sorry.
Let me just grab it.
I'll just come back when
you don't have company.
Just hold on.
I got it right here.
Michelle. Michelle.
Come on, come on.
Michelle! Hey, hey, stop!
Stop, stop!
Come on.
Here.
Thanks.
Hey, you don't have to leave.
You want to come
inside and grab a.
I'll grab a beer.
No I'm good.
Don't you have a goth
party to attend to?
It's not what it looks like.
They're just friends of mine
from my my grief support group,
that's all.
Yeah. You said that.
They just came by
to do a cleansing.
A cleansing?
Yeah, I don't know, feng shui
or clear the energy, that sort
of thing.
That's right up your alley.
Hey, Michelle.
I'm trying.
Please.
You try arsenic.
If it came with a pair
of tits like that.
Come on.
Michelle. Hey!
It wasn't all that bad, was it?
No, it wasn't bad.
You were a good father
and a good husband.
I found this picture.
Yeah, it's kind of messed up.
Do you recognize any
of the girls there?
Well, um.
No.
You're not contacting Masha's
friends again, are you?
No.
No, I just, uh.
I don't know, I thought
they might want it.
It
be a nice keepsake or something.
I doubt it.
Where'd you find that?
In a box.
All right, well, I
got to get going.
I, uh, I have to get
up early tomorrow.
Enjoy the feng shui or whatever.
I'd like to suggest once again
that you attend one
of our meetings.
Look, honey,
I'm not interested in any of
your Watchtower pamphlets.
And I don't want any
cutco knives either.
What?
Nothing.
So
the cleansing went
swimmingly, I presume.
We didn't complete
the cleansing.
Why not?
Your daughters desperately
trying to communicate
with you, David.
The weight that hangs
in this room just
wouldn't be right
to cast her out.
All right, you know what?
I think it's time that
the four of you leave.
All right.
I mean, I invited
you over to my house.
Now my ex-wife thinks
I am a complete creep.
And you didn't even do the one
thing that you were
supposed to do.
David, please.
I mean, I don't even believe
in any of this bullshit, but I
thought, what's the worst
that could possibly happen?
- You know.
- Listen to me.
No, you listen to me, okay?
I mean, you were supposed to
just come over here, wave some
incense around and
make me feel better.
Think of Masha for once.
Masha is hanging
on for a reason.
You can practically feel her
cries reverberating through
these walls.
I'm sure you can feel it.
That weight.
Pressing down on your shoulders.
It's like an unblinking eye
that probes at the back of your
head in a prolonged accusation.
Please. Consider
our offer, David.
If not for yourself
and for Masha's sake.
She's giving you one last
chance to make it right.
Make what right?
I don't know yet.
When you're ready,
we'll be waiting.
I'll think about it.
Naturally.
Whenever you're ready.
How do I get Ahold of you?
Can you leave me a cell
phone number or something?
When the time comes.
You'll know where to find us.
And one more thing.
Bring this with you.
And an article of clothing.
Dad.
Daddy.
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop!
No!
Stop! Stop!
Fuck!
Leave me the fuck alone!
Masha?
[Masha choking]
Masha, what is it?
What is it, honey?
I'm here.
What are you trying to tell me?
Honey, I can't hear you.
Masha.
Where are you going?
Honey?
David.
David.
David.
Yeah.
You okay, man?
Sorry. I'm just a bit
out of it, that's all.
I'll say.
I'm collecting for the
office lottery pool this week.
You and man.
I only got two bucks.
Spot me the other three.
Mhm.
I guess you're good for it.
Awesome. Here's to dreaming.
Yeah.
Here's to dreaming.
Hello.
Mr. Bryson.
It's Casey.
Hey, Casey.
What's up?
I know this is going
to sound weird, okay.
Ever since we spoke, I've
been having these dreams.
Dreams.
Yeah. Um,
I remembered
something about Masha.
Um, she's going to a
group like self-help.
You know.
A group?
Yeah, to help with
whatever it was she
was dealing with.
Um, I know she's been making
some new friends there.
Anyways, um, I just
wanted to let you know.
Take care Mr. Bryson.
Didn't I tell you you'd
know where to find us?
Where are we?
- Everywhere.
- Nowhere.
And the spaces in between.
You have the diary.
What happened here?
Uh, I don't know.
I found it that way.
Clothing.
Oh yeah.
Sorry. My wife and I got
rid of most of her stuff.
This is all I could find.
This diary
was a conduit
through which your daughter's
soul could speak in life.
I'll help her use it in death.
Bridging the two
conscious worlds.
I'm ready.
Yeah.
As the moon wanes.
So may I decree, son keno, for
thou art conjured by the name
of the everlasting
living and true God.
[Together] As the moon wanes.
So may I decree, son
keno, for thou art
conjured by the name of the
everlasting living and true God.
As the moon wanes, so may I
decree, son Keno, for thou art
conjured by the name of the
everlasting living and true God.
The elements are overthrown,
the earth is shaken, fire is
quenched, and the
seas turn black.
Son Keno keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
Son Keno.
Keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
Son Keno.
Keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
No no no no no.
Jesus Christ.
Wake up.
Wake up, wake up.
God damnit. Wake up!
God! Not again.
David, what's going on?
Are you okay?
Um, I don't know.
I feel like I'm absolutely
losing it here, Michelle.
Why? What happened?
Nothing. It doesn't
seem like nothing.
I don't want to talk about it.
All right.
I don't want to be
left alone tonight.
Don't leave me.
Please, please.
Okay.
Okay. I won't leave you alone.
I'm gonna go grab a beer.
It'll help you relax.
I don't want a beer.
Michelle.
Well, you're having one anyway.
David. Why did you call me here?
Is that a Ouija board?
Jesus Christ, David.
It has nothing to do with that.
What is wrong with you?
Why would you mess with
something like that?
Will you relax?
I need to relax.
Look, I understand we don't do
well living together anymore,
but going completely insane
apart isn't much better.
Insane?
You're so dramatic.
Yeah, I just thought it would
be nice to see you again,
that's all.
Are you using that
thing to contact Masha?
It's just a game
from Parker Brothers.
So you have then.
No, it was just.
It's a coping mechanism.
It's fucking morbid.
I stopped Michelle.
Give me a fucking break, man.
What do you want from me?
I get it, I understand
how you feel.
I miss her too.
She was my best bud.
I still care about
you, David, I do.
I still care about you too.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
I gotta go.
We can revisit this when
you're not so emotional.
I'm here for you, David.
I am, but I can't be
here for you like that.
Not right now.
If you have another one of your
panic attacks, just call me.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, I miss you.
Good morning girls.
How is everybody
doing this morning?
Oh, that coffee smells great.
Hey, is everything okay?
Honey.
Masha?
Is everything okay?
Masha?
Jesus.
Fuck!
Hey, dad.
Dad.
Dad can you hear me?
Masha.
Daddy.
Bring me back.
How?
Diary.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back!
Bring me back!
- No.
- Bring me back!
Oh, shoot.
There you are.
Hmm.
I thought you were
out sick today, buddy.
Why are you sitting
here in the dark?
I didn't sleep very
well last night.
Besides, sometimes it's nice
just to sit in the dark.
Okay. Um, you know, some people
came by the office a little
earlier looking for you.
Who?
I know a couple of ladies.
You, uh.
You didn't hit the
lotto, did you?
You think if I.
Did, I'd still be here?
Who were they, huh?
The ladies.
Did they give you a name?
What do they look like?
I didn't get a name.
Uh, they were young,
kind of oddly dressed.
You slept here a
couple of minutes ago.
He still might be
able to catch them.
You're not listening
to what I'm saying.
I'm saying is, what if we could?
What if we could be whole again?
What are you talking
about, David?
I know this sounds crazy,
but I can make that happen.
Alright? I can make all of
us whole again, Michelle.
Why would you even say
something like that?
What if we can start
all over again?
I never should have
hurt you or Masha.
David, stop!
Do you think you're the
only one going through this?
But what if.
What if we could start over?
You're losing it.
No.
No, we can do it all over again.
We can start over and
make things right.
I'm hanging up now.
Don't do anything stupid.
As the moon wanes. So may I
decree, son keno,
for thou art conjured by the
name of the everlasting living,
and true God.
The elements are overthrown,
the earth shaken.
The seas turn black, fire is
quenched and the air shudders.
So may I decree, son keno.
Open the skies.
And let her come down.
[Screaming]
[Crying]
Someone there?
Hello?
Dad.
Oh my God,
Masha, it's you.
Honey, it's really, really you.
Honey, you're.
You're alive.
Please. Really cold.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get you inside.
Okay, honey?
Oh, my God, I've missed you so
much, I can't I can't believe
you're here.
Dad please. I'm cold.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. Come on, honey, come on.
Okay, I got you, I got you.
Honey.
Are you okay?
There is no God.
What?
Honey, look at me.
Honey, I missed you so much.
And now I'm back.
Yeah. No, I know, but how?
Hey, hey, where were you?
I
woke up.
And.
And then I remembered who I was.
And then.
I walked for miles and miles.
Okay. Hey hey.
Hey. It's okay.
It's okay.
Where did you walk from?
Daddy.
Yeah, honey.
I fell from the sky.
What?
I don't know.
I don't know, I don't
know, please, dad.
I'm just so cold.
Oh, I know, I know, it's okay.
Okay, listen, um, there's got
to be a bathroom here, okay?
And let's find it.
Okay? Let's get you.
Changed. Let's get you warm.
And then we'll get you home.
Okay?
Okay. It's okay.
Okay. Come on.
Put your arm around me.
Okay. Come on.
Ready? Oh.
Okay. Okay.
It's okay.
I got you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Right there.
Okay, watch the corner.
Careful.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, your.
Your mother and I left you a
room and almost the exact same
condition it was in
when you left it.
When you're done,
we'll get you home now.
And tomorrow we'll get
you to a doctor and.
And get you checked out and
make sure that
everything's okay.
Where'd you get these?
I haven't worn them since.
Since I was a kid.
I got him from a box
of stuff in your room.
Box of stuff.
My stuff.
Yeah.
Why is my stuff in boxes?
Honey.
We thought you were dead.
But you're not.
You're not.
You're alive.
You are.
You're very, very
much alive right now.
Come on.
Let's get you home.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh,
what's the matter?
I got you.
Hold on to me.
It's not too far.
Okay.
I got you.
Take a right here.
Here we go.
Okay.
Let's see.
It looks like we've.
Got some old peanut
butter and jelly in here.
How about I make you a sandwich?
Okay.
Boy, I cannot wait
to tell your mother.
You know she's not
going to believe me.
Mother.
Where is she?
Home, I would imagine.
Our home?
Her house.
But she is going to hit
the roof.
Hey, is everything okay?
I don't know.
If you're still hungry, we can
get you something else to eat
on the way home.
Hey, dad.
Yeah.
Have you been reading my diary?
What? No.
Hey.
I'm going to make a
phone call real quick.
Okay? Finish this and when
you're done, we'll get going.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Come on, pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up, pick up.
Hello, Michelle.
Michelle. Michelle, you're not
going to believe me, but I need
you to meet me at the
house in 20 minutes.
What's going on, David?
Are you okay?
I found her.
Found her?
Masha.
Yes. I know this sounds crazy,
but she just showed up in the
middle of the night.
Middle of the night?
Please just meet.
Me at the house in 20 minutes.
I'll explain
everything, I promise.
Come over?
Yes, Michelle.
Your daughter wants to see you.
Wants to see you?
Why are you repeating
everything I say?
Repeating everything you say.
Stop it, Michelle!
This isn't funny.
Funny?
[Laughter]
Honey.
I remember who I am.
Was I a good girl, Daddy?
Of course.
And did you love me?
Did I love you?
Honey.
I do love you.
Were you nice to me?
Were you nice to me?
Yes.
Why have I been gone?
Why did you think I was dead?
I don't know.
Did I hurt myself?
Come on,
let's go.
Wait.
Why would I hurt myself?
If you loved me so much.
Honey we can talk
about this later.
You gonna love
me like you used to?
Touch me like you used to?
Stop it.
Don't talk like that.
It's true.
Isn't it?
Is that why you wanted me
back so bad?
Honey, I wanted you
back because I love you.
And I miss you.
Now, can we please just go home?
Why?
Why not right here?
What?
Make me suck your dick
the way I used to, daddy.
That's enough.
All right, that is enough.
We are going home right now.
The fuck are they doing here?
Daddy, I want to play a game.
Knock it off.
Not now.
I want to play a game.
Stop it!
I want to play a game now!
Masha!
God damn it!
- Masha!
- Come find me.
- Alright that's enough.
- We know you want to come.
God damn it, Masha!
Let's go.
Masha.
Come on, Masha.
Honey.
Masha.
Honey?
Come on, Masha.
Sweetheart. Come on.
God damn it, Masha!
You could have killed me.
Something's wrong.
Didn't you hear me?
Answer me! Goddamn it!
Jesus. Fuck!
What's wrong Daddy?
You Don't wanna seek anymore?
Stop it!
Masha! Please.
You don't want to
love me anymore.
Fine. I'll seek you.
Ready or not.
Here I come.
Masha?
Found you.
Now I just gotta tag you.
Stop it.
Oh what's wrong, daddy.
Are you afraid?
Just stop.
That's funny.
You're afraid of
me touching you.
Come on, Daddy.
Take it.
Take it.
Masha!
Better hide.
I hear you.
[Door slams]
Are you in here?
Huh?
Huh?
Olly olly oxen free.
Wait.
I hear you in the hallway.
Fooled you.
[Choking]
Oh no, you make me sick.
You're not man enough to
touch me now!
I'll fucking kill you!
I'll eat you alive!
I'll eat you alive
you little bitch!
I'll fuck you till you love
me you bitch!
[Crying]
You're a liar, David.
You are such a liar.
Masha killed
herself for a reason.
To get away.
To get away from the
pain you caused her.
Masha told the girl.
She didn't want to come back.
Masha hates you, David.
So she sent me instead.
[Screaming]
No!
Let go of me.
Help! Help me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Help!
No!
Stop!
No!
[Screaming]
[Screaming]
[Screaming continues]
I fell from the sky.
I fell from the sky.
[Rock music playing]
[Glass shattering]
Hey, bug, are you ready?
Hello.
Hey. I'm home.
Okay.
God damn it!
Stop putting empties
in the fridge.
Okay. Where are we going?
Hello?
Hey, I know you're here.
I can see your car
parked outside.
Hey, what time did you say your
friends are coming over?
[Crying]
Masha?
Masha?
Hey, Masha. Hun.
Are you in here?
Masha?
Masha bud.
Are you in there, honey?
No.
Masha.
[Sobbing]
I can't even work in
the garden anymore.
Everything reminds me of her.
And the nights.
Nights, they're the
worst of it all.
I can hear her.
She cries in the night.
Dead people don't cry, Gregory.
I know.
And know when I say this.
I'm not compelling you to
completely forget about Mary
nor your time together.
We do need to find an enduring
connection to the deceased
while embarking on our new life.
Now, the key word in that
sentence, Gregory, is life.
Letting yourself live.
Does anyone else have anything
to share with the group tonight?
David, do you have something
you'd like to share?
Hey, my name is David Bryson
and I was born and raised here
in Bremerton.
Some of you probably
already know, but, um.
Uh, four months ago.
I lost my daughter.
Masha.
Suicide.
And a month after
that, I lost my wife.
She left me because she
knows as well as I do that my
daughter killed
herself because of me.
David, you know that's not true.
You cannot keep
blaming yourself.
People keep telling me
that I need to move on.
That I need to move forward.
I want to, but every time I try.
I just think to myself,
what's the point?
You know what?
Why am I even doing this?
To move on, David.
We have to progress.
In a way that we
have to progress.
No matter what events
have transpired.
If I could, I'd like to go back
and do things over, you know.
But you can't.
And you know what else
I can't do, Gregory?
Anything?
Yeah. I don't know if it's
apathy or if it's
depression, but
I just don't have the
energy to do anything.
And so I just sit on the couch
and I mindlessly scroll through
the channels because.
After everything
I've been through.
The worst part about all
of this are the nightmares.
What do you dream about, David?
You know about a Ouija board.
How fucked up is that.
No, David. It's not.
It's perfectly normal to want
to speak to our
loved ones again.
I mean, isn't it so wonderful
that you love something someone
so deeply?
That you feel this
much about them.
It truly is a beautiful thing.
Yeah, well, I'm really
jumping for joy here, doc.
And you know, my personal
feelings on Ouija boards or
psychics or voodoo mysticism.
Yeah, well.
I don't even have the
energy to do that.
There anyone else that has
something they'd like to share
with the group today?
You have something to share.
We're very sorry to hear
about your daughter, David.
You were here last
week, weren't you?
Yeah, I was.
I'm glad you shared
your full story.
It hurts, but it'll help.
You should never, ever
blame yourself, David.
Thank you.
That's, um.
Very kind.
Of course.
The Ouija board
can help, you know.
You just have to be careful
with what you let in.
I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah. Thank you again.
Are you four all here together?
We belong to another
help group as well.
We come here not only to
support each other, but to
support those who
desperately need it.
Sometimes people just want to
be listened to,
voices to be heard.
Okay, that makes sense.
We don't normally do
this, but we can help you.
Come to one of our meetings.
Uh,
thanks, but I don't.
I don't think I'm going to
be coming back to this one.
Precisely the reason
we're offering.
We can help you.
We can help you close out that
chapter with your daughter.
Take care of yourself, David.
Masha, is still hanging
on to you as well?
You can feel it.
Hey, wait a minute.
How do you know my
daughter's name?
Sometimes, if you
listen closely.
Their voices can be heard.
Just.
Be careful,
if you decide to continue
with this on your own.
Thou shalt not screw around
with things thou
does not understand.
Or else.
So, Keno.
- What?
- Destruction.
If you change your mind.
Damn it!
Hey.
Hey.
I should have all
this gone by tomorrow.
Dad's picking me up at four to
get the rest of the stuff, okay?
No, don't.
Don't start.
I can't deal with
this right now.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to think
that I don't care because.
I do.
I will always continue
to love you and Masha.
Thank you.
I guess I needed to hear that.
I'm sorry that things
turned out the way they did.
It just.
Things got complicated.
I got to go.
Private stay out.
[Masha's voice] Dear diary, I
don't know what to do anymore.
It's like a big rain cloud is
following me around
all the time.
And I guess my diet or
my feelings or something.
Really, I don't know, I just.
[Many voices speaking]
Just wish it would all
go away.
Figure it out for us today.
It's too much.
I'm so overwhelmed.
I wish there was a clear
answer.
Why, why, why, why?
Maybe this is just a.
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Masha?
Masha?
What the fuck?
Yeah. Hey, is this
is this Casey?
Hey, Casey, this might sound a
little bit weird, but this is
David Bryson.
I'm Masha's father.
Thanks for agreeing
to meet with me today.
Not a problem, Mr. Bryson.
Oh, please, call me David.
So I've been reaching out to
some of Masha's friends since.
You know, truth
be told, I didn't.
I didn't know my
daughter that well.
I mean, when she was younger,
she was my little
buddy, you know?
But she grew up, and, I don't
know, we just kind of seemed to
drift apart.
Me and my dad too.
Can I get one of those from you?
Aren't you a little
young to be smoking?
It happens.
It does.
But I mean,
seriously though, you guys
had to have been close, right?
I mean, I remember hearing
your name a few times.
We were.
Was she happy?
Well.
Masha. She was she was
struggling with something.
You know, I mean.
She. There were a couple times
we'd go to our
friend Megan's house,
and she started to
drink a little bit, and.
Then she'd just start crying,
but like, bawling, crying.
Um.
She'd say there was something
she wished she could tell us,
but she just couldn't.
Do you know what it was?
No, um, I mean, I know she had
people she was talking about
her depression with, but.
She seemed fine for
the most part, I mean.
She had a lot of friends.
Do you happen to
know who they were?
Um, I found this photo.
Do you happen to know who any
of those other people are?
I'm sorry.
Um, it doesn't look
like anybody I knew.
Thank you.
And I keep having the same
recurring
dream over and over
and over again.
And it messes with
you, you know?
I mean, it really,
really messes with you.
Because I keep waking up.
But for the love of God, I
don't ever remember
falling asleep.
Are you sleeping often, David?
Yeah, I mean,
it seems like it's the only
thing I really want to do.
Is there anything else that
brings you joy these days?
No. Not really.
No.
I see.
You know, I keep waking up in a
cold sweat and I just sit there.
And all I want to do
is see Masha again.
I just want to talk to her.
When you tell her that I'm
sorry, but every time I see her.
It's terrifying.
Why do you feel
so guilty, David?
And she just stares at me, and
I don't I don't know if that
look is a is a look of shock
or if it's a look of hate.
But she's not there.
Masha isn't really there.
David.
This is a dream.
This is your subconscious.
This is.
Uh, something you're
feeling guilty about?
Masha isn't holding anything
against you because she can't
hold anything against you.
It is you.
That has this harsh judgment or
hate, as you called
it, onto yourself.
Only you.
I think she's trying to
tell me something.
David.
Why are you punishing
yourself like this?
Because I wasn't a good father.
David, this wasn't your fault.
Now, the sooner that you can
move on to truly being able to
grieve, to honor her.
To move on.
You're the only one that
can take that step.
Fucking hell.
What do you want?
[Together] To help.
To help?
If you won't join one of our
meetings, then let us at least
do a cleansing.
At your home.
A cleansing.
I know you can feel it, David.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have
shared it with the group.
Masha's spirit is but a few
feet above our heads.
Waiting for you to listen.
Either answer her or don't.
But as long as you continue
like this, the
dreams won't stop.
A cleansing.
Fine.
But then you just leave
me the fuck alone.
Great. We'll meet
you at your house.
Do you need the address?
[Together] We know where it is.
Come on in.
Wow.
You feel that?
What?
It's like she's screaming.
What screaming.
How?
There's something unusual here.
I feel it too.
What are you saying?
What are you saying?
This is different.
Okay, I like I don't
know what you're even.
Shh.
Oh, Jesus.
What took you so long?
It's freaking
freezing out there.
What are you doing here?
Uh, hi.
Did I come at a bad time?
No, not at all.
No. These are friends from
my grief support group.
Okay. Well, I just
came to get my mail.
Oh, shit.
Come on in.
I'm sorry.
Let me just grab it.
I'll just come back when
you don't have company.
Just hold on.
I got it right here.
Michelle. Michelle.
Come on, come on.
Michelle! Hey, hey, stop!
Stop, stop!
Come on.
Here.
Thanks.
Hey, you don't have to leave.
You want to come
inside and grab a.
I'll grab a beer.
No I'm good.
Don't you have a goth
party to attend to?
It's not what it looks like.
They're just friends of mine
from my my grief support group,
that's all.
Yeah. You said that.
They just came by
to do a cleansing.
A cleansing?
Yeah, I don't know, feng shui
or clear the energy, that sort
of thing.
That's right up your alley.
Hey, Michelle.
I'm trying.
Please.
You try arsenic.
If it came with a pair
of tits like that.
Come on.
Michelle. Hey!
It wasn't all that bad, was it?
No, it wasn't bad.
You were a good father
and a good husband.
I found this picture.
Yeah, it's kind of messed up.
Do you recognize any
of the girls there?
Well, um.
No.
You're not contacting Masha's
friends again, are you?
No.
No, I just, uh.
I don't know, I thought
they might want it.
It
be a nice keepsake or something.
I doubt it.
Where'd you find that?
In a box.
All right, well, I
got to get going.
I, uh, I have to get
up early tomorrow.
Enjoy the feng shui or whatever.
I'd like to suggest once again
that you attend one
of our meetings.
Look, honey,
I'm not interested in any of
your Watchtower pamphlets.
And I don't want any
cutco knives either.
What?
Nothing.
So
the cleansing went
swimmingly, I presume.
We didn't complete
the cleansing.
Why not?
Your daughters desperately
trying to communicate
with you, David.
The weight that hangs
in this room just
wouldn't be right
to cast her out.
All right, you know what?
I think it's time that
the four of you leave.
All right.
I mean, I invited
you over to my house.
Now my ex-wife thinks
I am a complete creep.
And you didn't even do the one
thing that you were
supposed to do.
David, please.
I mean, I don't even believe
in any of this bullshit, but I
thought, what's the worst
that could possibly happen?
- You know.
- Listen to me.
No, you listen to me, okay?
I mean, you were supposed to
just come over here, wave some
incense around and
make me feel better.
Think of Masha for once.
Masha is hanging
on for a reason.
You can practically feel her
cries reverberating through
these walls.
I'm sure you can feel it.
That weight.
Pressing down on your shoulders.
It's like an unblinking eye
that probes at the back of your
head in a prolonged accusation.
Please. Consider
our offer, David.
If not for yourself
and for Masha's sake.
She's giving you one last
chance to make it right.
Make what right?
I don't know yet.
When you're ready,
we'll be waiting.
I'll think about it.
Naturally.
Whenever you're ready.
How do I get Ahold of you?
Can you leave me a cell
phone number or something?
When the time comes.
You'll know where to find us.
And one more thing.
Bring this with you.
And an article of clothing.
Dad.
Daddy.
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop!
No!
Stop! Stop!
Fuck!
Leave me the fuck alone!
Masha?
[Masha choking]
Masha, what is it?
What is it, honey?
I'm here.
What are you trying to tell me?
Honey, I can't hear you.
Masha.
Where are you going?
Honey?
David.
David.
David.
Yeah.
You okay, man?
Sorry. I'm just a bit
out of it, that's all.
I'll say.
I'm collecting for the
office lottery pool this week.
You and man.
I only got two bucks.
Spot me the other three.
Mhm.
I guess you're good for it.
Awesome. Here's to dreaming.
Yeah.
Here's to dreaming.
Hello.
Mr. Bryson.
It's Casey.
Hey, Casey.
What's up?
I know this is going
to sound weird, okay.
Ever since we spoke, I've
been having these dreams.
Dreams.
Yeah. Um,
I remembered
something about Masha.
Um, she's going to a
group like self-help.
You know.
A group?
Yeah, to help with
whatever it was she
was dealing with.
Um, I know she's been making
some new friends there.
Anyways, um, I just
wanted to let you know.
Take care Mr. Bryson.
Didn't I tell you you'd
know where to find us?
Where are we?
- Everywhere.
- Nowhere.
And the spaces in between.
You have the diary.
What happened here?
Uh, I don't know.
I found it that way.
Clothing.
Oh yeah.
Sorry. My wife and I got
rid of most of her stuff.
This is all I could find.
This diary
was a conduit
through which your daughter's
soul could speak in life.
I'll help her use it in death.
Bridging the two
conscious worlds.
I'm ready.
Yeah.
As the moon wanes.
So may I decree, son keno, for
thou art conjured by the name
of the everlasting
living and true God.
[Together] As the moon wanes.
So may I decree, son
keno, for thou art
conjured by the name of the
everlasting living and true God.
As the moon wanes, so may I
decree, son Keno, for thou art
conjured by the name of the
everlasting living and true God.
The elements are overthrown,
the earth is shaken, fire is
quenched, and the
seas turn black.
Son Keno keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
Son Keno.
Keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
Son Keno.
Keeper of the dead.
Bring her to me.
No no no no no.
Jesus Christ.
Wake up.
Wake up, wake up.
God damnit. Wake up!
God! Not again.
David, what's going on?
Are you okay?
Um, I don't know.
I feel like I'm absolutely
losing it here, Michelle.
Why? What happened?
Nothing. It doesn't
seem like nothing.
I don't want to talk about it.
All right.
I don't want to be
left alone tonight.
Don't leave me.
Please, please.
Okay.
Okay. I won't leave you alone.
I'm gonna go grab a beer.
It'll help you relax.
I don't want a beer.
Michelle.
Well, you're having one anyway.
David. Why did you call me here?
Is that a Ouija board?
Jesus Christ, David.
It has nothing to do with that.
What is wrong with you?
Why would you mess with
something like that?
Will you relax?
I need to relax.
Look, I understand we don't do
well living together anymore,
but going completely insane
apart isn't much better.
Insane?
You're so dramatic.
Yeah, I just thought it would
be nice to see you again,
that's all.
Are you using that
thing to contact Masha?
It's just a game
from Parker Brothers.
So you have then.
No, it was just.
It's a coping mechanism.
It's fucking morbid.
I stopped Michelle.
Give me a fucking break, man.
What do you want from me?
I get it, I understand
how you feel.
I miss her too.
She was my best bud.
I still care about
you, David, I do.
I still care about you too.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
I gotta go.
We can revisit this when
you're not so emotional.
I'm here for you, David.
I am, but I can't be
here for you like that.
Not right now.
If you have another one of your
panic attacks, just call me.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, I miss you.
Good morning girls.
How is everybody
doing this morning?
Oh, that coffee smells great.
Hey, is everything okay?
Honey.
Masha?
Is everything okay?
Masha?
Jesus.
Fuck!
Hey, dad.
Dad.
Dad can you hear me?
Masha.
Daddy.
Bring me back.
How?
Diary.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Bring me back!
Bring me back!
- No.
- Bring me back!
Oh, shoot.
There you are.
Hmm.
I thought you were
out sick today, buddy.
Why are you sitting
here in the dark?
I didn't sleep very
well last night.
Besides, sometimes it's nice
just to sit in the dark.
Okay. Um, you know, some people
came by the office a little
earlier looking for you.
Who?
I know a couple of ladies.
You, uh.
You didn't hit the
lotto, did you?
You think if I.
Did, I'd still be here?
Who were they, huh?
The ladies.
Did they give you a name?
What do they look like?
I didn't get a name.
Uh, they were young,
kind of oddly dressed.
You slept here a
couple of minutes ago.
He still might be
able to catch them.
You're not listening
to what I'm saying.
I'm saying is, what if we could?
What if we could be whole again?
What are you talking
about, David?
I know this sounds crazy,
but I can make that happen.
Alright? I can make all of
us whole again, Michelle.
Why would you even say
something like that?
What if we can start
all over again?
I never should have
hurt you or Masha.
David, stop!
Do you think you're the
only one going through this?
But what if.
What if we could start over?
You're losing it.
No.
No, we can do it all over again.
We can start over and
make things right.
I'm hanging up now.
Don't do anything stupid.
As the moon wanes. So may I
decree, son keno,
for thou art conjured by the
name of the everlasting living,
and true God.
The elements are overthrown,
the earth shaken.
The seas turn black, fire is
quenched and the air shudders.
So may I decree, son keno.
Open the skies.
And let her come down.
[Screaming]
[Crying]
Someone there?
Hello?
Dad.
Oh my God,
Masha, it's you.
Honey, it's really, really you.
Honey, you're.
You're alive.
Please. Really cold.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's get you inside.
Okay, honey?
Oh, my God, I've missed you so
much, I can't I can't believe
you're here.
Dad please. I'm cold.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. Come on, honey, come on.
Okay, I got you, I got you.
Honey.
Are you okay?
There is no God.
What?
Honey, look at me.
Honey, I missed you so much.
And now I'm back.
Yeah. No, I know, but how?
Hey, hey, where were you?
I
woke up.
And.
And then I remembered who I was.
And then.
I walked for miles and miles.
Okay. Hey hey.
Hey. It's okay.
It's okay.
Where did you walk from?
Daddy.
Yeah, honey.
I fell from the sky.
What?
I don't know.
I don't know, I don't
know, please, dad.
I'm just so cold.
Oh, I know, I know, it's okay.
Okay, listen, um, there's got
to be a bathroom here, okay?
And let's find it.
Okay? Let's get you.
Changed. Let's get you warm.
And then we'll get you home.
Okay?
Okay. It's okay.
Okay. Come on.
Put your arm around me.
Okay. Come on.
Ready? Oh.
Okay. Okay.
It's okay.
I got you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Right there.
Okay, watch the corner.
Careful.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, your.
Your mother and I left you a
room and almost the exact same
condition it was in
when you left it.
When you're done,
we'll get you home now.
And tomorrow we'll get
you to a doctor and.
And get you checked out and
make sure that
everything's okay.
Where'd you get these?
I haven't worn them since.
Since I was a kid.
I got him from a box
of stuff in your room.
Box of stuff.
My stuff.
Yeah.
Why is my stuff in boxes?
Honey.
We thought you were dead.
But you're not.
You're not.
You're alive.
You are.
You're very, very
much alive right now.
Come on.
Let's get you home.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa oh,
what's the matter?
I got you.
Hold on to me.
It's not too far.
Okay.
I got you.
Take a right here.
Here we go.
Okay.
Let's see.
It looks like we've.
Got some old peanut
butter and jelly in here.
How about I make you a sandwich?
Okay.
Boy, I cannot wait
to tell your mother.
You know she's not
going to believe me.
Mother.
Where is she?
Home, I would imagine.
Our home?
Her house.
But she is going to hit
the roof.
Hey, is everything okay?
I don't know.
If you're still hungry, we can
get you something else to eat
on the way home.
Hey, dad.
Yeah.
Have you been reading my diary?
What? No.
Hey.
I'm going to make a
phone call real quick.
Okay? Finish this and when
you're done, we'll get going.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Come on, pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up, pick up.
Hello, Michelle.
Michelle. Michelle, you're not
going to believe me, but I need
you to meet me at the
house in 20 minutes.
What's going on, David?
Are you okay?
I found her.
Found her?
Masha.
Yes. I know this sounds crazy,
but she just showed up in the
middle of the night.
Middle of the night?
Please just meet.
Me at the house in 20 minutes.
I'll explain
everything, I promise.
Come over?
Yes, Michelle.
Your daughter wants to see you.
Wants to see you?
Why are you repeating
everything I say?
Repeating everything you say.
Stop it, Michelle!
This isn't funny.
Funny?
[Laughter]
Honey.
I remember who I am.
Was I a good girl, Daddy?
Of course.
And did you love me?
Did I love you?
Honey.
I do love you.
Were you nice to me?
Were you nice to me?
Yes.
Why have I been gone?
Why did you think I was dead?
I don't know.
Did I hurt myself?
Come on,
let's go.
Wait.
Why would I hurt myself?
If you loved me so much.
Honey we can talk
about this later.
You gonna love
me like you used to?
Touch me like you used to?
Stop it.
Don't talk like that.
It's true.
Isn't it?
Is that why you wanted me
back so bad?
Honey, I wanted you
back because I love you.
And I miss you.
Now, can we please just go home?
Why?
Why not right here?
What?
Make me suck your dick
the way I used to, daddy.
That's enough.
All right, that is enough.
We are going home right now.
The fuck are they doing here?
Daddy, I want to play a game.
Knock it off.
Not now.
I want to play a game.
Stop it!
I want to play a game now!
Masha!
God damn it!
- Masha!
- Come find me.
- Alright that's enough.
- We know you want to come.
God damn it, Masha!
Let's go.
Masha.
Come on, Masha.
Honey.
Masha.
Honey?
Come on, Masha.
Sweetheart. Come on.
God damn it, Masha!
You could have killed me.
Something's wrong.
Didn't you hear me?
Answer me! Goddamn it!
Jesus. Fuck!
What's wrong Daddy?
You Don't wanna seek anymore?
Stop it!
Masha! Please.
You don't want to
love me anymore.
Fine. I'll seek you.
Ready or not.
Here I come.
Masha?
Found you.
Now I just gotta tag you.
Stop it.
Oh what's wrong, daddy.
Are you afraid?
Just stop.
That's funny.
You're afraid of
me touching you.
Come on, Daddy.
Take it.
Take it.
Masha!
Better hide.
I hear you.
[Door slams]
Are you in here?
Huh?
Huh?
Olly olly oxen free.
Wait.
I hear you in the hallway.
Fooled you.
[Choking]
Oh no, you make me sick.
You're not man enough to
touch me now!
I'll fucking kill you!
I'll eat you alive!
I'll eat you alive
you little bitch!
I'll fuck you till you love
me you bitch!
[Crying]
You're a liar, David.
You are such a liar.
Masha killed
herself for a reason.
To get away.
To get away from the
pain you caused her.
Masha told the girl.
She didn't want to come back.
Masha hates you, David.
So she sent me instead.
[Screaming]
No!
Let go of me.
Help! Help me!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Help!
No!
Stop!
No!
[Screaming]
[Screaming]
[Screaming continues]
I fell from the sky.
I fell from the sky.
