One, two, three, four
What for fuck

What the fucking take? Huh?
Get the fuck up.
What the fuck did Silk send you for? Huh?
What the fuckin' take?
Silk didn't tell him anything. Stop.
He know the fuckin' take here.
What the fuck going on?
This nigger know what the fuckin' take is.
Listen, baby.
What's with the fuckin' take, man?
Get the fuck up.
What the fuck did, what the
fuck did he send you for?
Get the fuck outta here, Jada.
Come here, man.
Get outta here, Jada. Get outta here.
Get in the front (indistinct).
Fuck. Get the fuck up.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna
kill you if you don't tell me
what the fuck he sent you for.
Get up.
What're you doin'? Man, he's
not gonna tell him anything.
Malik.
Take, huh?
You're fucking crazy. You know that?
I'm telling you, Jada,
he knows something.
Look, it's fine. Silk
said we had 'til Christmas.
I know what he said, Jada.
What the fuck is that?
Son of a bitch.
Look, look--
I bet you Silk wanted this.
If Silk wanted this,
that's the fuckin' score.
Look, I just say we leave it. Okay?
Get the fuck outta town.
Silk would never expect this from us.
And that's why it wouldn't work, Jada.
Look, we owe, and we owe big.
Silk like to make example outta people
who don't pay him back.
You know that.
- Yeah.
So what do you wanna do?
I wanna
find out what this is.
What's this?
This is creepy.
Wow, this is wild.
Yo, Jada. Check this out.
"Madeline Lacroix's laughs
turned to Hollow Cross
and her husband Cecil
blamed the whispering cross
on the curse.
Desperate to stop the spread of the blood,
he turned to Mama Cecil a
treacherous which doctor.
Cecil watched as the slave
owners burned his house
to the ground with his
wife inside at night.
They swore they saw the
presence of something sinister.
Unexplained deaths followed."
What the hell?
Cecil Lecroix.
Oh shit.
I need
some fresh air. Just don't know.
Hey, what, what's up man?
Where did you find him?
Look man, I just wanted an appraisal.
I uh, look, man, I got
it from a friend, okay?
An appraisal?
They couldn't explain why
so many of them were dying.
Yeah.
So they hung Cecil upside
down and they burned him.
Listen man, I'm just
trying to sell the damn doll.
Was she with
you when you found him?
Look, man, who the hell are you?
You work for Silk or something?
Man, look, what the hell are you doing?
Hey man, look, if you
don't want it, it's cool.
I'll take it somewhere else. All right?
Where's the woman?
What?
The woman, she's in grave danger.
Look man, who the hell are you?
You have to keep her away from mirrors.
What?
Okay, look man, this has
been fun and all, but look,
I'll take this stupid
motherfucker somewhere else
to sell it, if you don't want it.
Sh. Listen.
Yo, man. What the hell you doing to me?
What the hell?
It's already too late.
It's already too late.
Listen man, if you don't know,
I can just take this and...
What the fuck?
Cause me a lotta trouble,
you fuckin' doll.
Fuck this shit, man.
Hey, Malik?
What's wrong, Jada?
Do you think there's any
truth to what Papa Remy said?
Listen, Papa Remy
and his voodoo theatrics.
It's probably just some
kid dolls from years ago.
We don't have to worry about
it much longer either way,
I got a plan though.
Yeah, but what if, what if
this doll really is cursed?
Caesar burned slaves.
Rack of vengeance.
I don't know, right now I
be more worried about Silk.
'Cause he definitely
know we got the stash.
Yeah, it's just--
Just what? Something happen?
No.
No.
No, it's nothing. It's nothing.
Okay.
Cypher, any luck with a buyer?
Yeah, bitch named
Evelyn. She ready tonight.
Tonight. You sure?
Hell yeah, my nigger.
That's stuttering motherfucker
blowing my phone up
right now, cuz.
Rich, and dumb as hell.
Okay, tonight. You sure?
Shit.
Ah yo, I'm texting you
the address right now.
All right, man, look, be careful.
We'll let you know when
it's done. All right?
Set it up.
All right, man. See you soon.
Sell the doll,
get the fuck out of Dodge.
Okay.
We got a buyer.
Everything good to go.
Tonight?
That was so fast.
Faster the better. Cypher say
the buyer is a real fanatic.
The quicker, the bigger
the take. You feel me?
Malik, about the doll, I saw something.
What?
I don't know.
I, I don't, I don't know how to explain.
It's just, it, it was like a vision.
A vision, Jada look, you saw something.
Like, are you okay?
You haven't been yourself
since we left that shop.
I don't know, it's just this all, just,
it just feels so wrong, you know?
Look, no, Jada.
We don't have time for
bad feelings right now.
We in debt and facing
eviction, and your sister.
Look, we need a fresh
start and a clean break.
This deal with the doll can help us.
I don't wanna leave
this place. This is our home.
I don't wanna leave everything behind.
Malik, what is that for?
Precaution, Jada.
Cypher says Silk has upped the ante,
with the Grays moving in on his turf.
Be real unpredictable in
the streets right now.
It's gonna be okay. We
gotta be careful. It's okay.
Look, I just, I don't
wanna leave our home. Okay?
I don't, this, all of
this just feels so wrong.
Look, we don't have a choice.
What home, Jada? Are
you serious right now?
Come on, look. We need
this deal with the doll.
We need a clean break and a fresh start.
You know the consequences of
when you don't pay Silk back.
You remember what happened to Neah, right?
Look, I'm done talking about this.
Pack what you need and
let's bounce, Jada. Come on.
Now. Let's go.
Welcome. It's Christmas Eve.
Ancestral baggage.
We don't get to choose our family, do we?
Day you come across
something as unique as JUJU.
Which is why we were
thinking that the buying price
was a bit low, and wanted
to renegotiate the terms.
Renegotiate?
Well, what exactly is this JUJU?
JUJU is believed to be a
conduit to the other side.
He's a vessel created by the
slaves in the 17th century
to hold the vengeful
spirits, the angry spirits.
And these are the same slaves that,
that built this very city.
So it is, it is remarkable.
For women though, JUJU
wasn't just a prison,
he was a puppet master.
He would inhabit their bodies,
and he would become uh, their last vessel.
He was a tormentor.
He, he did this as a
twisted act of rebellion
against their oppressors.
Did you have a spirit in your possession?
Something angry, maybe restless?
Ah, pity.
JUJU needs a specific energy to manifest,
the same energy that Cecil felt
the day he thought his wife was murdered.
What that mean?
Well, JUJU possessed her,
and way before the house
fire, she sought revenge
on behalf of her husband by
murdering the slave owners,
the kitchen staff, anybody involved.
It was a bloodbath.
They say the bodies
were so unrecognizable.
Ah. Man, what I would've
given to see that.
What happened to his wife?
Well, when JUJU finally
stopped the blood lust,
he turned from vengeance to torment.
Now, enough chitchat.
I'm going to need some time
to evaluate the product.
Oh, hey, no. That
wasn't part of the deal.
The deal?
Oh, my dear, do you think I
would get involved with someone
without knowing their
dirty secrets?
How long do you think it'll take
before Silk finds out
what you stole from him?
I suggest you get real comfortable.
My appraiser will be here around midnight.
Smile, it's Christmas Eve.
Yes, they're here. Okay.
Move it quietly.
Let him know Silk appreciate
him looking at it.
Man, it's cold as shit.
Damn all that.
Why the fuck you got me out
in this cold, motherfucker?
Man, you called me.
Get the fuck outta here.
Why would I call you?
Hey, yo, what's up my
nigger? Y'all selling?
What?
Must be Halloween on this
bitch. What do you say?
Let me holler
at you for a second.
What the hell? It's just a doll.
Right yourself, motherfucker.
Oh, shit.
- Oh, fuck.
- Yeah.
Fuck. Shit.
Fuck me.
Where the fuck he go?
How's it taste, motherfucker?
Shit's pure cocaine, baby.
Yeah, this was a bad idea. Okay?
You believe this bitch?
Mean, Silk people is everywhere.
That was her best option.
Our best option? You
mean Cypher's best option.
Sending us out onto a suicide mission.
Look, we'll get the money for JUJU
as soon as the appraises lady
gets here and checks it out.
It's gonna be okay.
Malik, something
doesn't feel right, okay?
This place is so creepy.
It's gonna be okay.
Okay.
If fine for you means being
stuck in this creepy-ass house
with no signal, then yeah,
everything's just fine.
Malik, I want to get outta here.
Dammit. Fuck, look. No
fuckin' signal.
Yeah, no shit, no signal.
I just told you that.
Jesus.
Okay, look. Wait a
minute, wait a minute.
No. No. Don't, don't,
don't, don't think about it.
No, earlier when, I
saw something earlier
when she was putting JUJU away.
Yeah, I saw it too. Malik,
are you crazy? Are you crazy?
You wanna steal from this woman?
That's a terrible idea.
You don't even have the key, you idiot.
So what?
So what?
Look, look, Silk people is
out everywhere looking for us.
We need a way out, to get
away, so Silk won't find us.
No. Hell, no. No. Are
you like, that is so risky.
Do you even hear yourself?
Malik, we need to just get rid of
whatever this JUJU thing
is and get out of here.
Okay, honey? Listen to me.
First, we steal from Silk.
Now you wanna steal from
the people they sell to.
Dude, like, just be smart.
- Look.
- Be smart.
I'm the only one coming
up with a plan here.
Only thing you're doing
is sitting around here
telling me about shit I can't fix.
Fuckin' phones are useless.
What are we supposed to do now, Jada, huh?
Oh, man.
Okay, fine. Maybe we
could get the money.
How are we gonna get the key.
If we could just bargain
with her with something.
Bargain, what?
JUJU doesn't exactly scream bargain, Jada.
I don't know. Do you have
a better idea? I don't know.
Maybe we could, maybe
we could distract her
and then just swipe the key, I, I--
Distract her how, Jada? Come on.
We improvise.
Look, there has to be
something in this room, no?
You see anything? Nothing.
Nothing.
Well, you know, Malik,
this is all your fault, Malik.
Cypher fuckin' throws you a
bone and you blindly follow
like you always do.
You know what? What else
was I supposed to do? Huh?
This was our best shot.
You know, you're
always screwing shit up.
You never listen to me. Just like...
Know what?
I'm gonna try to go find
better seat in the house, okay?
Yeah, you never listen to me.
Merry Christmas.
Goddamn.
Shit.
Just die, nigger.
Burned the shit out that
motherfucker. That's gross.
That shit disgusting.
Hey. Now that's motherfuckin'
black barbecue, baby.
Malik.
Malik.
Jada?
That you?
Jada? That you?
Jada, you'll never
believe what I just saw.
Yo.
Goddamn holidays.
Dispatch, the is unit 4-7.
I need a plate check on a Charlie, echo,
five, five, six, seven, over.
Oh, shit. It's the motherfuckin' pigs.
They say they want it, I need it
Goin' down
I'm goin' down like
I dried outta class
Window down.
For what?
You in a hurry?
What the hell is this?
You know that 9-1-1
call you didn't take, officer?
Dispatch, I need a five, six--
Bitch.
This thing's so
creepy. Look at its eyes.
Malik, look at its eyes.
It's like it's following us.
How'd he even get out?
I don't know. I've been
here the entire time.
Hey, you think that story's
true, about Cecil and his wife?
I don't know. Papa Remy damn
sure believed it was true.
I mean, just the way he tells
the story, I, I don't know.
But, then again, everything
seem off around here.
Did they use this doll in their rituals?
People say that it can move on
its own, that it's possessed.
His wife died from
mysterious circumstances.
Some say the doll killed her.
Did you think that
thing is actually alive?
Look, I don't know.
But whatever it is, it's got us this far.
We just need to keep our head
cleared and get up outta here.
Yeah, just get our money
and leave this place,
leave that thing and just, just,
I don't know, it feels wrong, you know?
I know, I know. I couldn't
get no signal nowhere.
You see? Don't you think that's weird?
What you mean?
Like, where's Evelyn?
She doesn't know us.
Why would she lock the doll up
and, and leave us here alone?
I don't know. No.
Malik, you think this
thing is actually cursed?
Do you think we're next?
Nah, look, we've been through way worse.
Just gotta stay focused,
we'll get through this.
Okay. Yeah.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, whoa, whatever the hell that was,
I'm gonna find that white lady
and get the hell outta here asap.
Okay. Wait, what do you wanna with that?
What about that thing?
I mean, look, now that he's free,
she got a reason to use the key again.
- Yeah.
- Come on,
let's go find Evelyn.
Let's get the fuck outta here.
So this right here, this is JUJU.
My grandmother said that
he was part of rituals
in the 1800s.
Well, the craftsmanship is exquisite,
perhaps as far back as the 16th century.
That would make this one of the rarest
I've ever come across.
It has been said that vessels like these
were very powerful conduits
for energies and spirits,
very malevolent.
What the hell, Evelyn?
Why didn't you tell us she was here?
Calm down. Calm down. This
is, I told you about her.
This is Dr. Damian. She is my
appraiser I told you about.
She's here to assess the
rest of my collection.
Yes, please, have a seat.
What you have found is
truly extraordinary.
This doll, JUJU, is what we call a vessel.
In voodoo and other dark arts,
vessels were created to be objects
that would house energies and spirits.
They were crafted with extreme care
and often imbued with
very specific energies,
or sometimes curses.
What does it want?
Well, it's hard to say,
but it has been said
that JUJU was crafted by
a voodoo priest on the slave
ships coming from Haiti.
And legend has it that Cecil
intended to protect his wife,
but something went terribly wrong
and JUJU became a vessel for
something far more malevolent.
So what you trying
to say, the doll haunted?
Well, not just haunted,
JUJU is a gateway, a bridge,
from our world to somewhere
far darker, much more sinister.
This is Cecil's wife.
She was found dead under
mysterious circumstances.
She was missing her tongue.
She was missing her eyes.
It's, it's as if she just
peeled her face right off.
How do you know so much about this?
You need to understand that when you're,
when you're dealing with
JUJU, it's not just something
that can be sold.
He's a vessel of vengeance and assuage.
You have started a dark path.
And you, what you get from this?
Um, knowledge.
Understanding these
artifacts helps us appreciate
their history, their power.
They can also serve as a warning.
Yes, in here, in this book,
it details the ritual Cecil used.
It is said that once a
spirit enters a vessel,
he is bound to that object.
Wait, how does the
spirit enter the vessel?
It will usually mark its
victim, possibly a scar,
maybe a tribal etching.
It is very important during this yuletide
that anyone with spirits
attached avoid mirrors,
or anything that could be a
portal to the uh, paranormal.
All right,
look, y'all are crazy.
Just price the motherfucking doll,
and we can be up outta here.
Well, if there's a spirit
that has not yet passed over,
it can often--
Not yet passed over?
What does that mean?
Well, when we die,
there's often a window
where our soul can choose to
linger, here, in this plane.
- Ghosts.
- Exactly.
Or sometimes a soul that has
been tortured or tormented
to the point that it seeks revenge.
And that's where JUJU comes in,
feeding off of, of the
anger and the vengeance
and the hatred.
How do you stop it?
How do you stop it?
Well, the only way to break the bond
is to actually destroy the vessel.
But, that's easier said than done.
JUJU was created to be very resilient,
and withstand time and elements.
And sometimes any attempt
to destroy the vessel
will actually just unleash what's inside.
Wait a minute. Inside?
Gateways, they go both ways.
Yes, if we can cross
over to the other side,
then we must wonder what
can cross over into ours?
People tend to think of this path
between heaven and hell
as a one-way street,
but it's more of an
open flow on both sides.
If JUJU completes this
tormented soul's blood lust
by Christmas, the tormented may pass over.
Or, it could unleash something far worse
than any of us could ever imagine.
The isy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out
Mommy!
Yeah, crawl, bitch.
If you move, bitch, I'll shoot.
Stay your ass right there.
Fucking snitch. Rats don't need feet.
Too bad. Bad, bad little bitch.
Itsy bitsy spider went
up the spout again
Earlier we, well, I thought we saw JUJU
outside the cupboard.
JUJU is not just a mere doll,
he's a supernatural being,
capable of defying the physical
confines that we understand.
So this thing just
move around on its own,
is what you're saying, huh?
Well, JUJU can manifest
in multiple places at once.
His essence is not bound
by all physical reality.
He is drawn to those
connected to the tormented soul
he was created for.
Family, friends, enemies, no one's safe.
So he could come after anyone we know,
anybody we care about?
Yes. And with each appearance
his power intensifies.
He is bound by the dark
rituals of Christmas Eve,
but his influence extends far further.
So what we gonna do now, huh?
Silk don't give a damn
'bout none of this shit.
Surviving the night will be an ordeal.
JUJU feeds on fear and chaos.
He will target anyone you hold dear,
anyone who's ever wronged you,
anyone connected to the tormented soul.
We must identify who Juju is connected to,
and it might help us
understand how to stop him.
My sister, Neah.
Your sister?
Yeah, my sister died.
Don't ask me how.
We, we found her body and
I'm pretty sure she OD'd
on Silk's drugs.
That's why we in so much debt.
She borrowed and
borrowed, and in the hood,
debt don't just disappear,
it goes to the next line.
You feel me?
So if JUJU is possessed
by Neah's spirit,
then anyone that had
anything to do with her death
is in trouble?
Yes.
Christmas day is the key.
If we can survive until dawn,
his power will diminish.
Until then, he will stop at
nothing to fulfill his purpose.
What are we supposed to do?
Just sit here, wait around?
Hope, hope that we could
survive through the tonight?
Yes, but vigilance is key.
JUJU will exploit every
fear and every weakness,
so you need to barricade yourselves,
keep your loved ones
close, and trust no one.
No. No. What, what about destroying him?
There has to be a way.
There has to be a way.
No.
Hey look, damn all that.
When am I gonna get my money?
We gotta get up outta here.
You brought in a cursed
artifact into my home.
You just don't get it.
Truly.
- Look, I do understand.
I'm gonna get, I need to get
ghost before someone ghosts me.
Jada, if your sister
truly is the tormented soul,
then you need to be very careful.
JUJU may well target you
to be his final vessel.
I'll get you your money at dawn.
Until then, everyone,
stay alert, stay vigilant,
and don't do anything that will allow him
to get inside your head.
Yeah.
Oh, man. Shit's crazy.
Look, I got a plan to get the key, baby,
but we gotta get away from
Dr. Damian and Evelyn.
They're both crazy.
Crazy? No, Dr. Damian
has evidence. I've seen it.
JUJU's real.
Evidence?
You mean the bullshit
scribble scrabble diagrams?
Look, all that's bullshit.
They just trying to drive the price down.
No, I could feel it.
She's been right about
everything. She's just scared.
Okay? Because this is
bigger than both of us.
Look, scared? Look, I'm being realistic.
This ain't some freaking storybook.
I don't know who the hell JUJU,
or whatever the hell he is,
but I do know Silk will kill us.
And I can't convince you otherwise,
I'm leaving with or without you.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
We're in this together.
You can't do that.
Yo, Cypher. What's up, man?
Somebody knocked
off that meth head, Nicole.
Shit was crazy. Foot all dis-severed.
I'm telling you, something
off, cuz. But we good.
What you mean by good?
As in, I got you a
ride out the city, my nigger.
And listen, that shit was hard, man.
I ain't even heard from Silk.
And that tells me something happening.
Let me handle something real quick, folk.
I'm gonna get back at you.
All right, cool.
- All right, later dog.
- Be careful, bro.
What did Cypher say?
He said Silk expecting us tonight.
We need to lay low until then.
Oh, man.
So you're staying?
I don't know, maybe, but--
Look, Neah called me.
She said she wanted to tell me something.
Okay. Tell you what?
She said Silk wanted
the information bad.
So bad, that she thought
her life was in danger.
So, that's all she said.
That she was, she was scared?
Oh, man.
I never got a chance to ask.
Okay.
Next day she was gone.
Look, Neah had a secret, and
that's what got her killed.
Look, Jada, we don't know that for sure.
Maybe it was just some random robbery.
I mean, she was messed up
bad. You saw her, Jada.
Malik, you knew Neah
well, don't you feel it?
There's more to her
story that we don't know.
Neah had a secret, and maybe
if we could just figure out
what it was, then we could figure out
what it is that Silk's planning.
There's something you're not telling me.
What are you talking about?
I don't know.
It's like, it's always
this look in your eyes
like you're not telling me everything.
Look, we just have to
make it till dawn. Okay?
We just have to figure out
how to make it through the evening.
How about the truth, Jada?
Let's put all the cards on the table.
Neah called me.
- What?
- Yeah.
Neah called you?
Yeah, she called me and
told me she needed my help.
Said she was in a bind.
And why didn't you tell me?
Because I didn't know what to believe.
I mean, you see her, Jada,
she strung the hell out,
on drugs bad.
What was I supposed to believe?
The fuck?
Get away from me. Get away from me.
Look, don't get mad at me
'cause your junkie
sister called me saying,
"Oh, I got evidence on Silk,
that's gonna take down Silk."
That don't sound crazy to you?
You know, you're right.
We should get our keys, the key
and we should go on our way.
Just leave. Leave. Go.
Why wait?
Yeah.
This doesn't make any sense.
What are you after?
Oh, she just
won't fuckin' listen to me.
Fuck, man.
Never fuckin' listen to me.
Always talking. Always talking.
Fuck.
What do you want?
JUJU, I know you have a
few minutes before you,
before you pass on.
I want to help. Oh!
No.
What the fuck was that?
Evelyn? Evelyn?
It's JUJU.
The visions are getting
stronger. We've all seen them.
Well, it's not just visions.
This is JUJU's influence.
We're trapped in his nightmare.
With the visions being this strong,
it won't be long before he
chooses his final vessel.
Doors are locked.
We can't get out. We're trapped.
What the hell does that mean?
Yeah, we can't get out.
We're trapped in here, with him.
Evelyn, let us outta here now.
Malik, chill.
Jada, shut up. They been
playing us since beginning.
Evelyn, give me the key
and let us outta here now.
Evelyn, give me the key
now and let us outta here.
I can't. Malik, you brought JUJU here.
We have to let this play
out. If we interrupt this--
Evelyn, give me the key or
I swear I'll shoot you next.
- It's not gonna work.
- Jada.
Go pack the stuff now. Pack
the goods and let's go.
Malik, you don't have to do this. Chill.
Pack it, pack it up, Jada. Now.
Malik, listen to me.
This isn't about the money.
This is JUJU messing with us.
We have to find out what
we can do to stop him.
I think I know what he wants.
Malik, you're only making things worth.
The key is not for the cabinet,
it's for stopping JUJU.
Jada, hurry up and check their pockets.
Now, hurry up. Let's go.
Wait.
You have to be willing
to confront your demons.
All of us, whatever it is, we must atone.
Yes. We all have secrets
that we must confront.
What? You, what's happening?
The gateway to JUJU's world is opening.
And the elements from his world
are now entering into ours.
Hell no, everyone shut the hell up.
I'm sick and tired of
all this voodoo bullshit.
Jada, hurry up. Let's go.
This is everything.
- Let's go.
- How?
What the hell was that?
Check it out.
What?
You heard what I said? Go check it out.
Go confirm all that shit you were saying.
No, I, I don't think
that's a very good idea.
Do it look like I give a
shit about what you think? Go.
You, get over there now.
Look, we gonna get up out here.
But until then, I want eyes on you.
Oh, please. I believe in you.
I'm gonna cut you so bad, bitch.
I believe in you. I respect you.
Oh, Sammy, please, I beg you.
I can do it.
No, please. I respect
you. No, listen to me.
I could be your vessel.
Oh. No.
What the hell is that?
What's going on?
I don't know. I don't know.
Hey, Evelyn, help.
What's going on? Jada.
Let me see.
Hey, what's going on?
What's going on, baby?
Hey, what? Hey.
I, I, I, I
don't know. Let me see.
What's going on with her?
Help her.
- She's been marked.
She's been marked.
What the hell?
What does that mean?
Jada, Jada. What?
JUJU's marked
her as his final vessel.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
She's been marked.
What does that mean?
Listen. Hey, get up, Jada.
Talk to me. This ain't funny.
What the fuck are you talking
about? Jada. What the hell?
What's that mean?
It means that you need to shoot her.
- I can't shoot her.
- You need to,
you need to shoot her.
Hey, Jada.
Jada, get up. Jada, wake up.
We can get up outta here.
- You need to kill her.
I can't shoot her.
This isn't
Jada. This isn't Jada.
Jada's not here.
What? What, what,
what's happening?
- You need to kill her.
You need to kill her. Shoot her.
This isn't Jada.
- Jada.
- This is not Jada.
- Hey, Jada.
- Shoot her.
I can't just shoot her.
JUJU has chosen her as his final vessel.
He's coming after both of us next.
We are not going to survive this night.
And it's almost Christmas
morning, when it turns.
Okay. Okay, this what we gonna do.
We're gonna split up and find Jada.
I'm gonna take the upstairs.
You take the floor.
No, no. I want us to stay together.
- I'm not asking.
- It's safer.
We split up now, or
I shoot you right here.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Okay? You take the floor. I'm
gonna take the upstairs. Go.
Jada! Jada!
Evelyn! Evelyn!
Fuck.
Damian.
Damian?
Fuck this shit.
Kitchen's clear.
Oh, no, no.
Of course, the white bitch falls down.
No. No, no, no.
No. No.
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
Who's there?
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out
Up came the sun and
dried up all the rain
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again
So the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again
Oh hell no. Fuck this shit.
Jada? Is that, is that
you? You still with me?
Oh shit, Jada.
Snap out of it. Snap out of it, baby.
Jada, don't let it take you.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Shit. That, that was Evelyn.
Man, fuck this shit.
You can't run away from this.
Oh, shit.
Man, the breaker dead, bitch.
You're lying.
Neah found out,
Oh, shit.
She found out that you helped Silk
get her hooked on drugs.
Listen, Jada. Baby, listen.
I can explain. I can explain.
Oh shit, babe. What the fuck?
You were supposed to be her safe haven,
but when she came to you,
you betrayed her to save your own skin.
You set her up.
Jada, I, I had no choice.
Silk was gonna kill me.
Silk was--
You're a coward.
I'm uh,
I'm sorry, Jada, I'm sorry. Okay?
- I killed the cop.
- What?
Fuck.
The one that didn't
respond to my 9-1-1 call.
He thought it was just another junkie.
Well, JUJU (chuckles),
well JUJU showed him
the cop in his way.
Listen, Jada. Fuck.
Listen, Jada, I didn't
know Silk plans, okay?
I promise. I swear.
JUJU helped me get
revenge on the drug dealer
who sold me all those bad drugs.
He made them all pay.
What have you done?
What'd you do, Jada?
I killed Silk, burned
down his whole empire.
Oh shit, Jada.
Fuck.
Oh, and I had so much fun
killing Papa Remy, the traitor.
He was the one that caught with the dope.
Jada, this was never my plans, okay?
I, I just wanted to
make sure you were okay.
I tried to help her.
I'll be okay. Once Neah
finishes her naughty list.
Oh shit.
Fuckin' look.
All this is my fault. All of it.
Jada, fuck.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, okay?
I'm sorry, Jada, I didn't mean it.
There's no forgiveness for you, Malik.
Shit.
Jada, what're you doing?
There's no escape.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Oh shit, oh shit.
Goddamn.
Help me, Jada. Help, help.
Help me, Jada.
Help me!
It, it's your ass.
One, two, three, four
One, two, three four
One, two, three, four
What for fuck
did Silk send you for, huh?
What the fucking take? Huh?
Get the fuck up.
What the fuck did Silk send you for? Huh?
What the fuckin' take?
Silk didn't tell him anything. Stop.
He know the fuckin' take here.
What the fuck going on?
This nigger know what the fuckin' take is.
Listen, baby.
What's with the fuckin' take, man?
Get the fuck up.
What the fuck did, what the
fuck did he send you for?
Get the fuck outta here, Jada.
Come here, man.
Get outta here, Jada. Get outta here.
Get in the front (indistinct).
Fuck. Get the fuck up.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna
kill you if you don't tell me
what the fuck he sent you for.
Get up.
What're you doin'? Man, he's
not gonna tell him anything.
Malik.
Take, huh?
You're fucking crazy. You know that?
I'm telling you, Jada,
he knows something.
Look, it's fine. Silk
said we had 'til Christmas.
I know what he said, Jada.
What the fuck is that?
Son of a bitch.
Look, look--
I bet you Silk wanted this.
If Silk wanted this,
that's the fuckin' score.
Look, I just say we leave it. Okay?
Get the fuck outta town.
Silk would never expect this from us.
And that's why it wouldn't work, Jada.
Look, we owe, and we owe big.
Silk like to make example outta people
who don't pay him back.
You know that.
- Yeah.
So what do you wanna do?
I wanna
find out what this is.
What's this?
This is creepy.
Wow, this is wild.
Yo, Jada. Check this out.
"Madeline Lacroix's laughs
turned to Hollow Cross
and her husband Cecil
blamed the whispering cross
on the curse.
Desperate to stop the spread of the blood,
he turned to Mama Cecil a
treacherous which doctor.
Cecil watched as the slave
owners burned his house
to the ground with his
wife inside at night.
They swore they saw the
presence of something sinister.
Unexplained deaths followed."
What the hell?
Cecil Lecroix.
Oh shit.
I need
some fresh air. Just don't know.
Hey, what, what's up man?
Where did you find him?
Look man, I just wanted an appraisal.
I uh, look, man, I got
it from a friend, okay?
An appraisal?
They couldn't explain why
so many of them were dying.
Yeah.
So they hung Cecil upside
down and they burned him.
Listen man, I'm just
trying to sell the damn doll.
Was she with
you when you found him?
Look, man, who the hell are you?
You work for Silk or something?
Man, look, what the hell are you doing?
Hey man, look, if you
don't want it, it's cool.
I'll take it somewhere else. All right?
Where's the woman?
What?
The woman, she's in grave danger.
Look man, who the hell are you?
You have to keep her away from mirrors.
What?
Okay, look man, this has
been fun and all, but look,
I'll take this stupid
motherfucker somewhere else
to sell it, if you don't want it.
Sh. Listen.
Yo, man. What the hell you doing to me?
What the hell?
It's already too late.
It's already too late.
Listen man, if you don't know,
I can just take this and...
What the fuck?
Cause me a lotta trouble,
you fuckin' doll.
Fuck this shit, man.
Hey, Malik?
What's wrong, Jada?
Do you think there's any
truth to what Papa Remy said?
Listen, Papa Remy
and his voodoo theatrics.
It's probably just some
kid dolls from years ago.
We don't have to worry about
it much longer either way,
I got a plan though.
Yeah, but what if, what if
this doll really is cursed?
Caesar burned slaves.
Rack of vengeance.
I don't know, right now I
be more worried about Silk.
'Cause he definitely
know we got the stash.
Yeah, it's just--
Just what? Something happen?
No.
No.
No, it's nothing. It's nothing.
Okay.
Cypher, any luck with a buyer?
Yeah, bitch named
Evelyn. She ready tonight.
Tonight. You sure?
Hell yeah, my nigger.
That's stuttering motherfucker
blowing my phone up
right now, cuz.
Rich, and dumb as hell.
Okay, tonight. You sure?
Shit.
Ah yo, I'm texting you
the address right now.
All right, man, look, be careful.
We'll let you know when
it's done. All right?
Set it up.
All right, man. See you soon.
Sell the doll,
get the fuck out of Dodge.
Okay.
We got a buyer.
Everything good to go.
Tonight?
That was so fast.
Faster the better. Cypher say
the buyer is a real fanatic.
The quicker, the bigger
the take. You feel me?
Malik, about the doll, I saw something.
What?
I don't know.
I, I don't, I don't know how to explain.
It's just, it, it was like a vision.
A vision, Jada look, you saw something.
Like, are you okay?
You haven't been yourself
since we left that shop.
I don't know, it's just this all, just,
it just feels so wrong, you know?
Look, no, Jada.
We don't have time for
bad feelings right now.
We in debt and facing
eviction, and your sister.
Look, we need a fresh
start and a clean break.
This deal with the doll can help us.
I don't wanna leave
this place. This is our home.
I don't wanna leave everything behind.
Malik, what is that for?
Precaution, Jada.
Cypher says Silk has upped the ante,
with the Grays moving in on his turf.
Be real unpredictable in
the streets right now.
It's gonna be okay. We
gotta be careful. It's okay.
Look, I just, I don't
wanna leave our home. Okay?
I don't, this, all of
this just feels so wrong.
Look, we don't have a choice.
What home, Jada? Are
you serious right now?
Come on, look. We need
this deal with the doll.
We need a clean break and a fresh start.
You know the consequences of
when you don't pay Silk back.
You remember what happened to Neah, right?
Look, I'm done talking about this.
Pack what you need and
let's bounce, Jada. Come on.
Now. Let's go.
Welcome. It's Christmas Eve.
Ancestral baggage.
We don't get to choose our family, do we?
Day you come across
something as unique as JUJU.
Which is why we were
thinking that the buying price
was a bit low, and wanted
to renegotiate the terms.
Renegotiate?
Well, what exactly is this JUJU?
JUJU is believed to be a
conduit to the other side.
He's a vessel created by the
slaves in the 17th century
to hold the vengeful
spirits, the angry spirits.
And these are the same slaves that,
that built this very city.
So it is, it is remarkable.
For women though, JUJU
wasn't just a prison,
he was a puppet master.
He would inhabit their bodies,
and he would become uh, their last vessel.
He was a tormentor.
He, he did this as a
twisted act of rebellion
against their oppressors.
Did you have a spirit in your possession?
Something angry, maybe restless?
Ah, pity.
JUJU needs a specific energy to manifest,
the same energy that Cecil felt
the day he thought his wife was murdered.
What that mean?
Well, JUJU possessed her,
and way before the house
fire, she sought revenge
on behalf of her husband by
murdering the slave owners,
the kitchen staff, anybody involved.
It was a bloodbath.
They say the bodies
were so unrecognizable.
Ah. Man, what I would've
given to see that.
What happened to his wife?
Well, when JUJU finally
stopped the blood lust,
he turned from vengeance to torment.
Now, enough chitchat.
I'm going to need some time
to evaluate the product.
Oh, hey, no. That
wasn't part of the deal.
The deal?
Oh, my dear, do you think I
would get involved with someone
without knowing their
dirty secrets?
How long do you think it'll take
before Silk finds out
what you stole from him?
I suggest you get real comfortable.
My appraiser will be here around midnight.
Smile, it's Christmas Eve.
Yes, they're here. Okay.
Move it quietly.
Let him know Silk appreciate
him looking at it.
Man, it's cold as shit.
Damn all that.
Why the fuck you got me out
in this cold, motherfucker?
Man, you called me.
Get the fuck outta here.
Why would I call you?
Hey, yo, what's up my
nigger? Y'all selling?
What?
Must be Halloween on this
bitch. What do you say?
Let me holler
at you for a second.
What the hell? It's just a doll.
Right yourself, motherfucker.
Oh, shit.
- Oh, fuck.
- Yeah.
Fuck. Shit.
Fuck me.
Where the fuck he go?
How's it taste, motherfucker?
Shit's pure cocaine, baby.
Yeah, this was a bad idea. Okay?
You believe this bitch?
Mean, Silk people is everywhere.
That was her best option.
Our best option? You
mean Cypher's best option.
Sending us out onto a suicide mission.
Look, we'll get the money for JUJU
as soon as the appraises lady
gets here and checks it out.
It's gonna be okay.
Malik, something
doesn't feel right, okay?
This place is so creepy.
It's gonna be okay.
Okay.
If fine for you means being
stuck in this creepy-ass house
with no signal, then yeah,
everything's just fine.
Malik, I want to get outta here.
Dammit. Fuck, look. No
fuckin' signal.
Yeah, no shit, no signal.
I just told you that.
Jesus.
Okay, look. Wait a
minute, wait a minute.
No. No. Don't, don't,
don't, don't think about it.
No, earlier when, I
saw something earlier
when she was putting JUJU away.
Yeah, I saw it too. Malik,
are you crazy? Are you crazy?
You wanna steal from this woman?
That's a terrible idea.
You don't even have the key, you idiot.
So what?
So what?
Look, look, Silk people is
out everywhere looking for us.
We need a way out, to get
away, so Silk won't find us.
No. Hell, no. No. Are
you like, that is so risky.
Do you even hear yourself?
Malik, we need to just get rid of
whatever this JUJU thing
is and get out of here.
Okay, honey? Listen to me.
First, we steal from Silk.
Now you wanna steal from
the people they sell to.
Dude, like, just be smart.
- Look.
- Be smart.
I'm the only one coming
up with a plan here.
Only thing you're doing
is sitting around here
telling me about shit I can't fix.
Fuckin' phones are useless.
What are we supposed to do now, Jada, huh?
Oh, man.
Okay, fine. Maybe we
could get the money.
How are we gonna get the key.
If we could just bargain
with her with something.
Bargain, what?
JUJU doesn't exactly scream bargain, Jada.
I don't know. Do you have
a better idea? I don't know.
Maybe we could, maybe
we could distract her
and then just swipe the key, I, I--
Distract her how, Jada? Come on.
We improvise.
Look, there has to be
something in this room, no?
You see anything? Nothing.
Nothing.
Well, you know, Malik,
this is all your fault, Malik.
Cypher fuckin' throws you a
bone and you blindly follow
like you always do.
You know what? What else
was I supposed to do? Huh?
This was our best shot.
You know, you're
always screwing shit up.
You never listen to me. Just like...
Know what?
I'm gonna try to go find
better seat in the house, okay?
Yeah, you never listen to me.
Merry Christmas.
Goddamn.
Shit.
Just die, nigger.
Burned the shit out that
motherfucker. That's gross.
That shit disgusting.
Hey. Now that's motherfuckin'
black barbecue, baby.
Malik.
Malik.
Jada?
That you?
Jada? That you?
Jada, you'll never
believe what I just saw.
Yo.
Goddamn holidays.
Dispatch, the is unit 4-7.
I need a plate check on a Charlie, echo,
five, five, six, seven, over.
Oh, shit. It's the motherfuckin' pigs.
They say they want it, I need it
Goin' down
I'm goin' down like
I dried outta class
Window down.
For what?
You in a hurry?
What the hell is this?
You know that 9-1-1
call you didn't take, officer?
Dispatch, I need a five, six--
Bitch.
This thing's so
creepy. Look at its eyes.
Malik, look at its eyes.
It's like it's following us.
How'd he even get out?
I don't know. I've been
here the entire time.
Hey, you think that story's
true, about Cecil and his wife?
I don't know. Papa Remy damn
sure believed it was true.
I mean, just the way he tells
the story, I, I don't know.
But, then again, everything
seem off around here.
Did they use this doll in their rituals?
People say that it can move on
its own, that it's possessed.
His wife died from
mysterious circumstances.
Some say the doll killed her.
Did you think that
thing is actually alive?
Look, I don't know.
But whatever it is, it's got us this far.
We just need to keep our head
cleared and get up outta here.
Yeah, just get our money
and leave this place,
leave that thing and just, just,
I don't know, it feels wrong, you know?
I know, I know. I couldn't
get no signal nowhere.
You see? Don't you think that's weird?
What you mean?
Like, where's Evelyn?
She doesn't know us.
Why would she lock the doll up
and, and leave us here alone?
I don't know. No.
Malik, you think this
thing is actually cursed?
Do you think we're next?
Nah, look, we've been through way worse.
Just gotta stay focused,
we'll get through this.
Okay. Yeah.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, whoa, whatever the hell that was,
I'm gonna find that white lady
and get the hell outta here asap.
Okay. Wait, what do you wanna with that?
What about that thing?
I mean, look, now that he's free,
she got a reason to use the key again.
- Yeah.
- Come on,
let's go find Evelyn.
Let's get the fuck outta here.
So this right here, this is JUJU.
My grandmother said that
he was part of rituals
in the 1800s.
Well, the craftsmanship is exquisite,
perhaps as far back as the 16th century.
That would make this one of the rarest
I've ever come across.
It has been said that vessels like these
were very powerful conduits
for energies and spirits,
very malevolent.
What the hell, Evelyn?
Why didn't you tell us she was here?
Calm down. Calm down. This
is, I told you about her.
This is Dr. Damian. She is my
appraiser I told you about.
She's here to assess the
rest of my collection.
Yes, please, have a seat.
What you have found is
truly extraordinary.
This doll, JUJU, is what we call a vessel.
In voodoo and other dark arts,
vessels were created to be objects
that would house energies and spirits.
They were crafted with extreme care
and often imbued with
very specific energies,
or sometimes curses.
What does it want?
Well, it's hard to say,
but it has been said
that JUJU was crafted by
a voodoo priest on the slave
ships coming from Haiti.
And legend has it that Cecil
intended to protect his wife,
but something went terribly wrong
and JUJU became a vessel for
something far more malevolent.
So what you trying
to say, the doll haunted?
Well, not just haunted,
JUJU is a gateway, a bridge,
from our world to somewhere
far darker, much more sinister.
This is Cecil's wife.
She was found dead under
mysterious circumstances.
She was missing her tongue.
She was missing her eyes.
It's, it's as if she just
peeled her face right off.
How do you know so much about this?
You need to understand that when you're,
when you're dealing with
JUJU, it's not just something
that can be sold.
He's a vessel of vengeance and assuage.
You have started a dark path.
And you, what you get from this?
Um, knowledge.
Understanding these
artifacts helps us appreciate
their history, their power.
They can also serve as a warning.
Yes, in here, in this book,
it details the ritual Cecil used.
It is said that once a
spirit enters a vessel,
he is bound to that object.
Wait, how does the
spirit enter the vessel?
It will usually mark its
victim, possibly a scar,
maybe a tribal etching.
It is very important during this yuletide
that anyone with spirits
attached avoid mirrors,
or anything that could be a
portal to the uh, paranormal.
All right,
look, y'all are crazy.
Just price the motherfucking doll,
and we can be up outta here.
Well, if there's a spirit
that has not yet passed over,
it can often--
Not yet passed over?
What does that mean?
Well, when we die,
there's often a window
where our soul can choose to
linger, here, in this plane.
- Ghosts.
- Exactly.
Or sometimes a soul that has
been tortured or tormented
to the point that it seeks revenge.
And that's where JUJU comes in,
feeding off of, of the
anger and the vengeance
and the hatred.
How do you stop it?
How do you stop it?
Well, the only way to break the bond
is to actually destroy the vessel.
But, that's easier said than done.
JUJU was created to be very resilient,
and withstand time and elements.
And sometimes any attempt
to destroy the vessel
will actually just unleash what's inside.
Wait a minute. Inside?
Gateways, they go both ways.
Yes, if we can cross
over to the other side,
then we must wonder what
can cross over into ours?
People tend to think of this path
between heaven and hell
as a one-way street,
but it's more of an
open flow on both sides.
If JUJU completes this
tormented soul's blood lust
by Christmas, the tormented may pass over.
Or, it could unleash something far worse
than any of us could ever imagine.
The isy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out
Mommy!
Yeah, crawl, bitch.
If you move, bitch, I'll shoot.
Stay your ass right there.
Fucking snitch. Rats don't need feet.
Too bad. Bad, bad little bitch.
Itsy bitsy spider went
up the spout again
Earlier we, well, I thought we saw JUJU
outside the cupboard.
JUJU is not just a mere doll,
he's a supernatural being,
capable of defying the physical
confines that we understand.
So this thing just
move around on its own,
is what you're saying, huh?
Well, JUJU can manifest
in multiple places at once.
His essence is not bound
by all physical reality.
He is drawn to those
connected to the tormented soul
he was created for.
Family, friends, enemies, no one's safe.
So he could come after anyone we know,
anybody we care about?
Yes. And with each appearance
his power intensifies.
He is bound by the dark
rituals of Christmas Eve,
but his influence extends far further.
So what we gonna do now, huh?
Silk don't give a damn
'bout none of this shit.
Surviving the night will be an ordeal.
JUJU feeds on fear and chaos.
He will target anyone you hold dear,
anyone who's ever wronged you,
anyone connected to the tormented soul.
We must identify who Juju is connected to,
and it might help us
understand how to stop him.
My sister, Neah.
Your sister?
Yeah, my sister died.
Don't ask me how.
We, we found her body and
I'm pretty sure she OD'd
on Silk's drugs.
That's why we in so much debt.
She borrowed and
borrowed, and in the hood,
debt don't just disappear,
it goes to the next line.
You feel me?
So if JUJU is possessed
by Neah's spirit,
then anyone that had
anything to do with her death
is in trouble?
Yes.
Christmas day is the key.
If we can survive until dawn,
his power will diminish.
Until then, he will stop at
nothing to fulfill his purpose.
What are we supposed to do?
Just sit here, wait around?
Hope, hope that we could
survive through the tonight?
Yes, but vigilance is key.
JUJU will exploit every
fear and every weakness,
so you need to barricade yourselves,
keep your loved ones
close, and trust no one.
No. No. What, what about destroying him?
There has to be a way.
There has to be a way.
No.
Hey look, damn all that.
When am I gonna get my money?
We gotta get up outta here.
You brought in a cursed
artifact into my home.
You just don't get it.
Truly.
- Look, I do understand.
I'm gonna get, I need to get
ghost before someone ghosts me.
Jada, if your sister
truly is the tormented soul,
then you need to be very careful.
JUJU may well target you
to be his final vessel.
I'll get you your money at dawn.
Until then, everyone,
stay alert, stay vigilant,
and don't do anything that will allow him
to get inside your head.
Yeah.
Oh, man. Shit's crazy.
Look, I got a plan to get the key, baby,
but we gotta get away from
Dr. Damian and Evelyn.
They're both crazy.
Crazy? No, Dr. Damian
has evidence. I've seen it.
JUJU's real.
Evidence?
You mean the bullshit
scribble scrabble diagrams?
Look, all that's bullshit.
They just trying to drive the price down.
No, I could feel it.
She's been right about
everything. She's just scared.
Okay? Because this is
bigger than both of us.
Look, scared? Look, I'm being realistic.
This ain't some freaking storybook.
I don't know who the hell JUJU,
or whatever the hell he is,
but I do know Silk will kill us.
And I can't convince you otherwise,
I'm leaving with or without you.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
We're in this together.
You can't do that.
Yo, Cypher. What's up, man?
Somebody knocked
off that meth head, Nicole.
Shit was crazy. Foot all dis-severed.
I'm telling you, something
off, cuz. But we good.
What you mean by good?
As in, I got you a
ride out the city, my nigger.
And listen, that shit was hard, man.
I ain't even heard from Silk.
And that tells me something happening.
Let me handle something real quick, folk.
I'm gonna get back at you.
All right, cool.
- All right, later dog.
- Be careful, bro.
What did Cypher say?
He said Silk expecting us tonight.
We need to lay low until then.
Oh, man.
So you're staying?
I don't know, maybe, but--
Look, Neah called me.
She said she wanted to tell me something.
Okay. Tell you what?
She said Silk wanted
the information bad.
So bad, that she thought
her life was in danger.
So, that's all she said.
That she was, she was scared?
Oh, man.
I never got a chance to ask.
Okay.
Next day she was gone.
Look, Neah had a secret, and
that's what got her killed.
Look, Jada, we don't know that for sure.
Maybe it was just some random robbery.
I mean, she was messed up
bad. You saw her, Jada.
Malik, you knew Neah
well, don't you feel it?
There's more to her
story that we don't know.
Neah had a secret, and maybe
if we could just figure out
what it was, then we could figure out
what it is that Silk's planning.
There's something you're not telling me.
What are you talking about?
I don't know.
It's like, it's always
this look in your eyes
like you're not telling me everything.
Look, we just have to
make it till dawn. Okay?
We just have to figure out
how to make it through the evening.
How about the truth, Jada?
Let's put all the cards on the table.
Neah called me.
- What?
- Yeah.
Neah called you?
Yeah, she called me and
told me she needed my help.
Said she was in a bind.
And why didn't you tell me?
Because I didn't know what to believe.
I mean, you see her, Jada,
she strung the hell out,
on drugs bad.
What was I supposed to believe?
The fuck?
Get away from me. Get away from me.
Look, don't get mad at me
'cause your junkie
sister called me saying,
"Oh, I got evidence on Silk,
that's gonna take down Silk."
That don't sound crazy to you?
You know, you're right.
We should get our keys, the key
and we should go on our way.
Just leave. Leave. Go.
Why wait?
Yeah.
This doesn't make any sense.
What are you after?
Oh, she just
won't fuckin' listen to me.
Fuck, man.
Never fuckin' listen to me.
Always talking. Always talking.
Fuck.
What do you want?
JUJU, I know you have a
few minutes before you,
before you pass on.
I want to help. Oh!
No.
What the fuck was that?
Evelyn? Evelyn?
It's JUJU.
The visions are getting
stronger. We've all seen them.
Well, it's not just visions.
This is JUJU's influence.
We're trapped in his nightmare.
With the visions being this strong,
it won't be long before he
chooses his final vessel.
Doors are locked.
We can't get out. We're trapped.
What the hell does that mean?
Yeah, we can't get out.
We're trapped in here, with him.
Evelyn, let us outta here now.
Malik, chill.
Jada, shut up. They been
playing us since beginning.
Evelyn, give me the key
and let us outta here now.
Evelyn, give me the key
now and let us outta here.
I can't. Malik, you brought JUJU here.
We have to let this play
out. If we interrupt this--
Evelyn, give me the key or
I swear I'll shoot you next.
- It's not gonna work.
- Jada.
Go pack the stuff now. Pack
the goods and let's go.
Malik, you don't have to do this. Chill.
Pack it, pack it up, Jada. Now.
Malik, listen to me.
This isn't about the money.
This is JUJU messing with us.
We have to find out what
we can do to stop him.
I think I know what he wants.
Malik, you're only making things worth.
The key is not for the cabinet,
it's for stopping JUJU.
Jada, hurry up and check their pockets.
Now, hurry up. Let's go.
Wait.
You have to be willing
to confront your demons.
All of us, whatever it is, we must atone.
Yes. We all have secrets
that we must confront.
What? You, what's happening?
The gateway to JUJU's world is opening.
And the elements from his world
are now entering into ours.
Hell no, everyone shut the hell up.
I'm sick and tired of
all this voodoo bullshit.
Jada, hurry up. Let's go.
This is everything.
- Let's go.
- How?
What the hell was that?
Check it out.
What?
You heard what I said? Go check it out.
Go confirm all that shit you were saying.
No, I, I don't think
that's a very good idea.
Do it look like I give a
shit about what you think? Go.
You, get over there now.
Look, we gonna get up out here.
But until then, I want eyes on you.
Oh, please. I believe in you.
I'm gonna cut you so bad, bitch.
I believe in you. I respect you.
Oh, Sammy, please, I beg you.
I can do it.
No, please. I respect
you. No, listen to me.
I could be your vessel.
Oh. No.
What the hell is that?
What's going on?
I don't know. I don't know.
Hey, Evelyn, help.
What's going on? Jada.
Let me see.
Hey, what's going on?
What's going on, baby?
Hey, what? Hey.
I, I, I, I
don't know. Let me see.
What's going on with her?
Help her.
- She's been marked.
She's been marked.
What the hell?
What does that mean?
Jada, Jada. What?
JUJU's marked
her as his final vessel.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
She's been marked.
What does that mean?
Listen. Hey, get up, Jada.
Talk to me. This ain't funny.
What the fuck are you talking
about? Jada. What the hell?
What's that mean?
It means that you need to shoot her.
- I can't shoot her.
- You need to,
you need to shoot her.
Hey, Jada.
Jada, get up. Jada, wake up.
We can get up outta here.
- You need to kill her.
I can't shoot her.
This isn't
Jada. This isn't Jada.
Jada's not here.
What? What, what,
what's happening?
- You need to kill her.
You need to kill her. Shoot her.
This isn't Jada.
- Jada.
- This is not Jada.
- Hey, Jada.
- Shoot her.
I can't just shoot her.
JUJU has chosen her as his final vessel.
He's coming after both of us next.
We are not going to survive this night.
And it's almost Christmas
morning, when it turns.
Okay. Okay, this what we gonna do.
We're gonna split up and find Jada.
I'm gonna take the upstairs.
You take the floor.
No, no. I want us to stay together.
- I'm not asking.
- It's safer.
We split up now, or
I shoot you right here.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Okay? You take the floor. I'm
gonna take the upstairs. Go.
Jada! Jada!
Evelyn! Evelyn!
Fuck.
Damian.
Damian?
Fuck this shit.
Kitchen's clear.
Oh, no, no.
Of course, the white bitch falls down.
No. No, no, no.
No. No.
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the water spout
Who's there?
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out
Up came the sun and
dried up all the rain
The itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again
So the itsy bitsy spider
went up the spout again
Oh hell no. Fuck this shit.
Jada? Is that, is that
you? You still with me?
Oh shit, Jada.
Snap out of it. Snap out of it, baby.
Jada, don't let it take you.
Shit.
Oh, shit.
Shit. That, that was Evelyn.
Man, fuck this shit.
You can't run away from this.
Oh, shit.
Man, the breaker dead, bitch.
You're lying.
Neah found out,
Oh, shit.
She found out that you helped Silk
get her hooked on drugs.
Listen, Jada. Baby, listen.
I can explain. I can explain.
Oh shit, babe. What the fuck?
You were supposed to be her safe haven,
but when she came to you,
you betrayed her to save your own skin.
You set her up.
Jada, I, I had no choice.
Silk was gonna kill me.
Silk was--
You're a coward.
I'm uh,
I'm sorry, Jada, I'm sorry. Okay?
- I killed the cop.
- What?
Fuck.
The one that didn't
respond to my 9-1-1 call.
He thought it was just another junkie.
Well, JUJU (chuckles),
well JUJU showed him
the cop in his way.
Listen, Jada. Fuck.
Listen, Jada, I didn't
know Silk plans, okay?
I promise. I swear.
JUJU helped me get
revenge on the drug dealer
who sold me all those bad drugs.
He made them all pay.
What have you done?
What'd you do, Jada?
I killed Silk, burned
down his whole empire.
Oh shit, Jada.
Fuck.
Oh, and I had so much fun
killing Papa Remy, the traitor.
He was the one that caught with the dope.
Jada, this was never my plans, okay?
I, I just wanted to
make sure you were okay.
I tried to help her.
I'll be okay. Once Neah
finishes her naughty list.
Oh shit.
Fuckin' look.
All this is my fault. All of it.
Jada, fuck.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, okay?
I'm sorry, Jada, I didn't mean it.
There's no forgiveness for you, Malik.
Shit.
Jada, what're you doing?
There's no escape.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Oh shit, oh shit.
Goddamn.
Help me, Jada. Help, help.
Help me, Jada.
Help me!
It, it's your ass.
One, two, three, four
