Evil Nun (2025) Movie Script
1
Ayudame!
She's coming!
Help me!
My baby! My baby!
Wait, wait!
What are you doing?
My baby!
How's it looking, Rog?
Well, Zack,
my dude, for starters,
there is a shit ton
of duct tape in here.
Can you fix it?
I mean, I'd ask
for more duct tape,
but I think every roll in all
of Mexico is, uh, right here.
Right. Okay. Well, just
do what you can, okay?
Oh, come on.
We're stuck.
Well, of course we are. Why
would things ever go our way?
You'd think with no seats
this thing would run perfectly.
This your gum or mine?
We're gonna be fine.
Don't let me interrupt.
Let me guess, we're stranded.
Did your horoscope tell
you that this morning?
No, I heard you guys talking.
Guys, it's just a test from God.
We're gonna be fine.
Right, Zack?
Yeah. Yeah, fine.
I believe God has our back,
but I'm not looking forward
to fighting off the coyotes.
We'll be fine.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Hey.
Why'd you run off?
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
That woman.
It sounded like
a woman screaming.
-Yeah.
-What's with the face?
Nothing. I just...
didn't think you were gonna
be doing any of this
weird stuff on this trip.
Weird.
You know the stuff that
my dad beat into my head?
Anything supernatural
is either God or...
The devil, right.
And it can't be God
speaking to me?
He spoke to hundreds of
people in the Bible.
Yes, I know, but how
do we know what--
It must really
burn up the deacon
to know that this son is
potentially dating the devil.
Wow.
Look, I just... I haven't
really told him about,
you know, like your
visions, whatever.
Because you're ashamed of me?
No, no, no.
I'm not ashamed of you at all.
I'm just worried
that he'd, like,
ask me to break up
with you or something.
And?
And, and what?
That's a huge deal.
And would you break up with me?
Maria, I...
Wow.
Maria...
God, please grant me
the strength
to not always put
my foot in my mouth.
FYI, these things are useless.
Calls keep failing.
Yeah, pretty sure
we lost service
as soon as we hit the mountains.
So, how are we going
to call for help?
I don't know.
It's toast, kids.
Oh, boy.
You got a little something.
So, any ideas,
Mr. Fearless Leader?
Uh...
And it was literally 116
in the shade
last time I checked,
so let's decide quick.
We could walk somewhere.
Where?
Maybe to that tree?
Or possibly
that tree over there.
I heard it's 110 over there.
There it is again.
Did you hear that?
What?
What are we hearing?
That woman.
It sounds like
she's screaming in pain.
A woman screaming?
I don't hear anything.
Maybe the wind?
So, okay, how about we just
set up camp here for the night?
What about the coyotes?
Yes, coyotes are one thing,
but what about the damn snakes?
I mean, they're everywhere,
and there's this one
called the fer de lance,
and it's the deadliest
in all of Mexico,
and that's here,
like, right now.
Okay, so nature
is not our friend.
Okay, Rog, just chill.
Look, the girls will
sleep in the van,
and then the boys will just...
-Also sleep in the van.
-Obviously.
Thank you, Zack,
great idea from a great man.
Ugh.
All right, I think your
sister's jealous, Varla.
Well, yeah, I call
that particular shade
of red Lorna's envy.
I'm grossed out,
not envious, okay?
Shh.
There she is again.
You really don't hear that?
Maybe it's an animal
you're hearing.
No, it's not an animal, it's...
She's screaming for help.
We have to find her.
No, no, no, no.
If we find her, what's making
her scream is going to find us.
Okay, I mean, have you guys
even heard of Mexican Dracula?
Who has the road atlas?
Uh... oh. I do.
Okay, what's this road we're on?
It's, uh...
Here.
There.
Iglesia De Santa
Dolores de Pena?
Rog, can you tell us how
far away we are from there?
Eesh, well, a mile is
like an inch, right, Javi?
So, we're here, but, okay.
But I just don't know
where on the road we're at.
You really don't hear that?
Maria.
Maria, what are you doing?
Maria.
Honey, get back here.
Maria!
Hey, Zack, quick question.
Is she having a...
a thing again?
What are you talking about?
I'm not trying to rag on her,
but isn't her mom like
a psychic or whatever?
Maria did predict I'd bust my
knees in that homecoming game,
so I believe it.
Psychic gifts are genetic.
They're gifts from God.
Guys, she's...
we need to go after her, okay?
What about our stuff?
Leave it.
We'll be right back.
I'm not leaving my stuff.
What if somebody drives
by and steals it?
Roger, you stay here
and watch our gear, okay?
The hell I am.
Maria!
Come on, babe!
Did she even go this way?
I mean, she was on the road.
If she's lost,
what happens if we get lost?
Maria!
I'm so tired.
Ask Jesus for stamina.
Do you have to be so
cynical about everything?
Not everything, just religion.
Then why did you come
on a Catholic retreat?
And miss out on
a free trip to Mexico?
I may look dumb,
but it's a clever disguise.
Maria!
Oh, it's hot.
It's so hot.
You're so hot.
Thanks, babe.
Yeah, maybe the van wasn't
such a bad idea after all.
James 1:2-4.
"Consider it a joy,
my brothers and sisters
when you face hardships
of any kind."
Here come the Bible quotes.
Oh, I found it.
Listen to this.
"Off the beaten path,
you'll find
"the Iglesia de Santa
Dolores de Pena.
"Largely forgotten now,
its very early history
"was once the talk of
the spiritual world.
"But in 1993, a local
nun, Sister Dolores,
"was dubbed the Miracle Mother
when she became pregnant
despite claiming
she was a virgin."
No way.
I call bullshit.
"Multiple doctors
confirmed her maidenhood,
"and during her pregnancy,
it was even recorded
"that she healed the sick
and the lame
"that sought her attention.
"She made the church
her home
"and lived in it
during her pregnancy.
"The Vatican itself
was considering
"proclaiming the child
the potential
"Second Coming of the Messiah,
"but Sister Dolores mysteriously
disappeared one week
"before she was due
to give birth,
and neither her nor the baby
were ever seen again."
Oh, how sad.
"Some say the baby was stillborn
and died of a broken heart,
"only for both of them to
be buried somewhere together
"in secret.
"Others say she was kidnapped
by devil worshipers
"who wanted to sacrifice
the baby Messiah.
"Whatever the answer,
the only one who knows is
"Sister Dolores, and you
can ask her yourself
"because she is said
to haunt the very church
"that had been her home
and has now been left to
the dusty ravages of time."
Yeesh. No wonder they left
that off the normal tour.
Okay, guys.
I'm deep fried.
I'm taking a break.
Roger?
What?
Don't move.
Why the hell not?
What are you doing, Javi?
I'm going to try
to scare it away.
Scare what away?
Javi?
You trust me?
I don't know.
-Trust me.
-Can I?
Javi, no! See?
Snakes, I told you.
Next is Mexican Dracula.
We're going.
Break's over.
Saved your life, man.
Maria!
Whoa, look at this place.
My dudes, this place
is a literal ghost town.
Maria!
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
Shut the fuck up
Let her sing.
She's got a song in her heart.
No, no, I like it.
I like it.
Lorna, it's good.
How about this? I got one, too.
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I'm really tired
and I'm really hot
I wish we could find
a really cool spot
Yeah.
Zack got us lost
and we might rot
I wish you would
get me a really big shot
Oh, water!
Come on, come on.
Maria!
Guys, guys.
Anyone have water?
No seriously.
I'm gonna throw up.
-Maria!
-Guys.
Hey, babe.
Hey.
-What are you doing?
-Holy shit, look at this place.
This is it.
It led us here.
Uh, what led us here?
The screaming.
Yeah, I don't know
if we should have been
following the screaming.
There's someone in there.
Well, I hope someone's in there.
So they can let us in.
Or we can bust a window.
Whoa.
Hi there.
What do you guys want?
I'm sorry, Father.
We're just touring churches
in the area
and our car broke down
about a mile or so
that way and...
my father's a deacon.
If you came here for the Second
Coming, it has not arrived.
This is no place for tourists.
All of you guys must turn
around and go back to your car.
Is there a woman in there?
There's no one in here but me.
But I heard her.
Well, you're greatly mistaken.
Now please go.
It's not safe here.
It's not safe?
What do you mean by that?
Please, all of you go.
The thing is, Father,
we have nowhere we can go.
If you guys go back
to your car, don't worry.
I'll send for help.
Well, could we at least use
your phone to call for help?
And hey, Father, we'd, like,
gladly pay, you know?
So...
There's no telephone here.
There's nothing I could
do for you guys.
Now please, leave.
Father, would you be able
to give us a ride into town?
I mean, we could
just get help there.
No.
Is a priest really just going
to abandon us here alone?
And just so you guys know,
if you leave now and you get
to your car before dark,
you guys will be safe.
Leave any later,
don't wander around.
A bunch of coyotes out there.
What an asshole.
He's not even going
to offer us a ride?
Everyone calm down.
Just do what he asks.
Come on, Maria.
Okay, Javi, how do
we get back to the van?
Let's see.
East from the sun...
Yeah, I could find it.
On second thought... I'm hot.
I'm tired.
It's going to be dark soon,
so follow my lead.
Yeah, pack in, guys, hurry.
Shh, shh, shh.
Hurry, hurry.
Pack in.
We just got to wait till
the coast is clear.
Man, he's hauling ass.
The priest made it
sound like a death trap,
so maybe we should
just take his advice.
We can't break in.
It's church property.
Lorna, God will
forgive us, okay?
He doesn't want us to get
chewed up by snakes and coyotes.
Okay, guys ready?
And... go, go, go, go, go.
Totally wabi-sabi.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Wait, Yuki, what
does that mean?
It's a Japanese term
for embracing the beauty
of imperfection.
They really don't make
it like they used to.
Dad would have had a field day
in here with his...
-measuring tape.
-Measuring tape.
Hello?
Do you have to do that?
She's still in here.
I can feel her.
Can you still hear her?
I'm not crazy.
I never said you were.
So what if gangbanger
priest comes back?
Should be okay overnight.
We'll just leave early in the
morning before he gets back
and yells at us some more.
Yeah, I guess these
are our beds for the night.
Finally.
God did not design me for
strenuous exercise, my dudes.
Same-sies.
Oooh.
God provides.
-Purse?
-Yes, ma'am.
Still no service.
Yeah, do you think
the priest
was lying about
not having a phone?
I think there must be
an office somewhere.
I feel like that's where a
phone would be if it exists.
Javi, you want to
go look for one?
Okay, does anyone
have a lighter?
Uh, yeah.
God bless marijuana.
Maria, what are you doing?
I'm lighting a candle
for protection.
Here, are you okay?
Something's...
Oh, whoa!
Whoa, okay, um...
We gotta help.
-Okay, I got her, I got her.
-Bathroom?
V, help me, please,
thank you.
Find the bathroom.
It's okay, girl, I got you,
it's okay.
Heatstroke, gotta be.
It's okay, it's okay.
I've been there, let it all out.
Was it something you ate?
I don't...
Is anyone else getting
creeped out by this place?
You mean the abandoned,
spider-infested,
dusty church in
the middle of nowhere?
No, why?
Ow, fuck.
That's never happened before.
Okay, something
is super off here.
You're just freaking
yourself out.
God provided us a sanctuary.
We should be grateful.
Lorna, I swear, every time
you talk like that,
it makes me want
to punch you in the teeth.
Varla, I am so...
Grateful that we could
spend this time together.
Same, sis.
You guys...
Oh God, we should get
her some water.
That's dehydration city.
It's getting dark.
We have flashlights,
it'll be cozy.
Check this out.
This must be her.
Her who?
Oh, you don't know
about the nun?
What nun?
Allow me to educate.
There was this nun,
and she was like the
spiritual mother of miracle...
Relax, she'll be fine.
Yeah, but what if she's not?
I mean, what if she needs
a hospital, what then?
You know, if the deacon
were here,
he'd make us do
a prayer circle for Maria.
Roger, not even my dad believes
prayer cures everything.
Does Maria know your dad
wants you to be a priest?
No.
I think my dad and I's
opinions differ on my future.
Do you think it's heatstroke,
like you said?
Nah, it can't be heatstroke.
Maybe blood clots?
Hey!
Hey, you okay?
Better.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
What in heaven's name was that?
The priest did say
the place was rotting.
Ugh, cold green beans
in a can, my favorite.
Why did we pack these?
It's better than nothing.
Ugh.
Oh, you know what I could
really go for right now?
-Clam chowder.
-Clam chowder?
Lorna, that would smell
like shit in here, okay?
Here, it's moonstone.
It helps with tummy troubles.
Thank you.
You know, it always helped
my mom with her indigestion.
Just rub it on your tummy,
think happy thoughts.
Will do.
Hey guys.
Phone?
No phone. No office.
Scram.
Hey, how's your stomach feeling?
It's better.
I don't...
I don't know what that was.
It could have been a mixture
of the medication and the heat.
It don't think
the antidepressants
are triggered by
environmental changes.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
I know.
You don't have to be sneaky
with trying to remind me, Zack.
I appreciate that you care.
And before you ask outright,
I did take them.
Doctor Rackett would kill me
if I didn't.
Well, good.
You know, I just...
I know.
You worry.
There was someone
screaming, though.
I know.
I do think it is a little weird
how you led us exactly here.
Is this an earthquake?
Guys.
Okay. Okay.
All right.
Oh, I should have
just stayed in the car.
Maria!
Maria?
Oh my God!
Maria, what's happening?
What the hell's her problem?
Maria!
Maria!
What the hell is going on?
Oh, my God.
Somebody do something!
Somebody help her.
How are we supposed to help her?
Maria, baby, I'm right here.
Okay? I'm right here.
Maria?
-Maria?
-Maria?
Are you okay?
Maria...
Whoa...
Maria.
Maria, it's me, Zack.
-Holy shit.
-Zack!
Roger, help me.
I'm not getting near all that.
Help me, asshole.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
What do I do?
-Grab that chair.
-Okay.
-Tie her up.
-Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm trying.
What are you doing?
You'll hurt her!
We're trying to keep
her from hurting us.
Maria? Maria? Maria?
It's Zack. Can you hear me?
I'm right here.
I'm so sorry.
Be careful.
Is it a seizure?
Bro, look at her stomach.
This isn't a seizure.
This isn't anything normal.
Maria, Maria, it's Zack.
Can you hear me?
Maria is sleeping.
Then... who is this?
Dolores.
Wait, as in Sister Dolores?
This isn't happening, right?
My baby.
Find... my baby.
What?
Okay, okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm out. I'm out.
I'm out, this is...
This is insane!
I would rather take my
chances with the snakes
and the coyotes,
I'm outta here!
-Roger!
-Fuck this, I'm out!
Roger, get back here, idiot!
Will you help me?
I'll help you.
I'll help you,
just don't hurt Maria.
Please, just let her go.
Maria? Maria?
Hey, Maria. Maria?
I think she just passed out.
Hey, I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Thank God.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, this is it.
We came in this way.
Why isn't it open?
Come on!
What in the hell is that?
Ah!
Could swear I just
heard Rog scream.
Knowing Roger, he
probably just saw a mouse.
Her fever is down a bit.
Are you sure it's
safe to untie her?
We couldn't just leave her
tied up like that.
Look, I'm not gonna say
the word "possess," but I...
She wasn't.
I read that some possessed
people can lift an entire...
She wasn't possessed, Yuki!
Then what would
you call it, Zack?
Split personality?
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
Which one is that?
Garnet.
It's a renewing stone.
Protects against evil spirits
and mental instability.
Still no service.
Wait, try 911.
It should still work
without reception.
Are we sure that 911
is the same in Mexico?
It could be a different number.
Try it.
Maybe it redirects.
What do I say?
Just say that we need help.
Call failed.
Just keep trying, okay?
Meanwhile, we should
look for Roger.
If he ran off,
he's the type to get lost.
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna stay here with Maria.
I'm not going anywhere.
Okay.
Yuki, you come too.
Around here is
where we came in from.
Roger!
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no!
-Oh, my God.
-How...
Maria, baby.
Please be okay.
You have to be okay.
You mean the world to me
and I need you.
What happened?
I don't know.
But we're not spending
another second here.
Oh, my God.
Roger...
My God, is he...
Zack, we need to find a
way out right now, okay?
It isn't safe here.
-No, it's Roger, is he--
-Yes, he's dead.
It looks like he was killed.
What? Killed by what?
By who?
-We're the only ones here!
-I don't know, okay?
Ask Maria. She seems
to have made a new friend.
Do you think that sister
Dolores's ghost killed Roger?
I hate to sound like a broken
record here, but I don't know.
Okay? Nothing makes sense.
God, this is a nightmare.
It could be some random psycho
that's still locked
in here with us.
I should have just stayed home.
Okay, listen, gang.
We need to stay focused
and work together.
Now, we know the doors
are padlocked,
but there's a bunch
of glass everywhere
and stuff to break it with.
This place is bigger than
it looks from the outside.
That's good.
That means there's more
possibilities for a way out.
Shit! What was that?
That's a person.
Not a ghost.
-How can you be sure?
-What?
Uh, okay.
We all saw that, yeah?
Let's just go, please.
Um, hold up,
can you give us a minute?
Yeah, yeah, we'll go
and we'll meet you guys.
Uh, no, not far, though, right?
-Let's just give them a minute.
-Okay.
What's up?
I just want you to tell me
that you love me.
What?
I always say that I love you.
I know, but I just want
to hear it one more time
in case anything happens.
-Nothing's gonna happen.
-You don't know that.
I know that I love you.
Now you have to say it back.
I love you, too.
Oh, hey. Hey.
Easy, easy, easy.
I'm so dizzy.
What happened?
Do you not remember anything?
I remember screaming and then...
I fell to the ground
and I hit my head.
Here, let me
get you some water.
Did I black out or something?
Um...
Listen, I don't really know
how to tell you this.
Where is everyone?
Come on, come on!
Good job, babe!
No... come on.
Come on!
It's deadbolted.
Stop, that's not going
to do anything!
Wait, what about that?
That's high as hell.
Maybe we can find
a ladder.
Or stack boxes.
Stack boxes?
Well, you think of something.
There she is.
Jesus, who?
Stay here, I'll be right back.
No, idiot!
No, stay there,
I'll be right back.
Come back!
Poor Roger.
He always had a smile even
when he was complaining.
Yeah.
The optimistic pessimist.
He did not deserve this.
I'm scared, Zack.
I don't know what this is,
but I just...
I just want us to be okay.
Hey, you'll be okay.
I'll make sure of it.
I need you to
promise me something.
If she takes me over again,
I need you to exorcise me.
What?
But...
Sure, I know some of the words,
but I don't know the rituals.
I don't...
I'm not even ordained.
I don't even know if
a demon would listen to me.
It's not a demon.
It's a mother.
Promise me, Zachary.
Hey, come out right now.
I'm not playing around.
Show yourself.
Oh... Now you're
just pissing me off.
Whoa!
Why do you think she chose me?
I don't know.
Maybe it's just bad luck.
Maybe it's your gift.
You know, I didn't ask to
be, like... weird or whatever.
I know.
Hey...
I know.
It's, it's just...
It's just what?
It's just disconcerting,
I guess.
Have you guys
seen Javier or Varla?
What?
I thought they were with you.
Maria, are you okay?
Yeah, just exhausted.
Javier ran off because
he thought he saw the nun
and then Varla
just ran after him.
Wait, what, you guys
are seeing the nun?
But now we can't
find either of them.
Okay, then we need
to go after them.
I'm sure they're fine, okay?
How can you say that?
Look what just
happened to Roger.
Okay, well, we're not going
to let anything happen to them,
but we need to stick together.
-You okay to walk?
-Yeah.
Okay, let's go.
Varla!
Javi!
Man, come on!
Varla?
Can you guys check the windows?
Every single one we've
come across, and no luck.
It's like they're concrete.
And all the doors
are bolted and padlocked.
Javi!
Do you guys hear that?
Go.
No!
Oh!
I'm so sorry, Varla.
I'm so sorry.
What should we do now?
I don't know, Yuki.
What if we start a fire and burn
down one of these wooden doors?
Start a fire?
Yuki, no, we'll be
trapped in here.
No.
Okay, start thinking of
a solid plan B
because we can't stay here.
Okay.
Grab the rope.
Help me.
We want to help you, but
why did you kill our friends?
The devil is loose.
The devil, he kills.
Help me.
Find my baby...
And I'll protect you.
The devil?
The devil hunts you.
Help me, and you can go.
Where should we find your baby?
Here.
I can feel her,
but she's lost to me.
Okay, but I need
you to let Maria go.
Help me.
I'll help you,
but you need to leave Maria.
What are you doing?
I'm keeping a promise.
I command you
to leave this body.
You're cast out.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
our God and Lord,
strengthened by the intercession
of the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
mother of God,
of blessed Michael,
the archangel,
the blessed apostles
Peter and Paul,
and all the saints
and powerful
in the Holy Authority
in our ministry,
we confidently undertake
to repulse the attacks
and deceits of the devil.
No, stop. Stop!
Let Maria go!
No!
God arises.
His enemies...
His enemies are scattered,
and those who hate
him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away,
so are they driven.
As wax melts before the fire,
so are the wicked perishing
in the presence of God.
Are you exorcising her?
She asked me to.
You're not a priest, Zack.
Just stop.
We drive you from us,
whoever you may be,
unclean spirits,
all Satanic powers,
all infernal invaders,
all wicked legions,
assemblies, and sects.
Stop! You're hurting her!
I have to keep going!
Stop it, Zack!
Just stop.
We can cast her out.
In the name and by
the power of our Lord,
Jesus Christ,
may you be snatched away
and driven from
the church of God
and driven from the
souls made in the image
and likeness of God
and the precious blood
of the Divine Lamb!
Jesus!
-Yuki!
-Yuki!
Are you okay?
Yuki!
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I don't
know what happened.
I feel like someone
was choking me.
-Are you alright?
-Yeah, I think so.
Guys, where's Maria?
Dammit!
Why won't any of this shit open?
The best thing we can do
for Maria is find that baby.
I'm with you.
Before she left,
she said something like,
my room, you have to find
my room, something like that.
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying with Javi.
-V, listen to me.
-No, no, no.
I don't want prayers.
I don't want Bible
bullshit, okay?
Just let me be sad.
Varla, I think it's best
if we stay together.
I can stay with her.
-Are you sure? I...
-Yeah.
You guys go ahead,
but please hurry back.
Scream if...
You know.
He was going to propose.
I found a ring in his backpack.
I would have said yes.
We need a drink.
Deuteronomy 31:6.
"Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid
"or terrified by them
for the Lord your God
"will always go with you.
He will not leave you.
or forsake you."
Sorry, I quote Bible verses
when I get nervous.
It's okay.
Don't have to be sorry.
Um...
So when we say "baby,"
what are we actually
talking about?
Because she died in
like the '90s, right?
Yeah, I think we might be
looking for a burial site
or something, I don't know.
Right.
And how are we supposed
to get to the burial site
when all the doors
and windows are shut?
Not to mention we've looked
in every single place here
and we haven't found anything.
Come on!
Um, maybe it's
under the floorboards.
No, I doubt it a stupid place
like this would have a basement.
What did you do?
Jesus fucking Christ!
Oh, sorry!
Aguardiente.
It's fire water.
It's good, right?
Just what the grief
counselor ordered.
Sure, you can finish that.
-Sorry.
-No, it's fine.
I'm sure there's something
else around here.
He wanted kids, you know.
Not you, right?
I wasn't sure I ever wanted
to be a mom or whatever,
but with him, maybe
I would have enjoyed it.
They would have had curly hair.
I loved his curly hair.
Bingo!
Communion wine?
Isn't that sacrilegious?
Says the atheist.
Are you still thirsty?
I'll pass.
I don't know what's
in the Agua stuff,
but I'm sure it doesn't
mix well with wine.
Suit yourself.
It's a bedroom.
Must be hers.
Sister Dolores's.
I think that's her.
She's pretty.
She's sad.
You can see it behind her eyes.
It's like the weight
of the world is...
obliterating her.
Hey, call me crazy, but...
She kind of looks like Maria.
Can I tell you something?
I'm starting to doubt
this whole God thing.
Right.
What kind of God would
allow this to happen?
Lorna would say God works
in mysterious ways,
but it's just an empty phrase.
I love her, but she can be
an idiot sometimes.
It's an excuse.
Yeah, I mean,
He's all over the Bible,
but now He's nowhere
to be found.
What's His deal?
Maybe it's the booze talking.
Maybe you're waking up.
Do you hear that?
It feels like
we're being watched.
We are.
Well...
No baby.
Just all these old newspapers.
Is anything standing out at you?
No, not really.
I was looking for anything
related to the church,
like burial sites,
that kind of stuff.
She kept every single
piece of news on her.
I mean, my Spanish is limited,
but it looks like it's just
all about her healings
and miracles,
that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Do you see any pictures
of the church?
Yeah, a few.
Yeah, but did any of them
have a gravesite out front?
Uh, let me check.
No, I just see buildings,
but I'll keep looking.
Okay.
What was that?
What? What?
A book?
It's a diary.
Find anything?
Oh, yeah.
Sister Dolores's diary.
You're kidding.
Yeah, we found it under her bed.
Her bed?
Yeah, we found her room
from when she lived here.
Oh, shit, the answers have
got to be in here, right?
Well, not everything.
Obviously, she can't write
about her own death.
And she doesn't know
where the baby is,
so that wouldn't be
in there either.
Yeah, but it's her life
in her own words.
There's got to be some
kind of clue in here
that can tell us
what's going on.
Have you read the last page?
No.
Pardon my remedial Spanish,
but this is nuts.
"I'm going to tell
them the truth."
My diamond?
No, "my lover wants me to keep
my secret for eternity.
"Our child will be
the child of the world,
"but my heart is
guilty in the...
bears?"
No, "guilty in the eyes of God.
"I will reveal the truth.
I hope he will see the light
of God in my truth."
Her lover, so the baby
wasn't divine?
Well, duh, that doesn't happen.
Not now, Varla.
Well, maybe her lover
killed her
because she was about
to spill the beans.
I mean, that's scandal city.
Or maybe she died giving birth
because not everything
is a true crime television show.
Look, who done it
doesn't matter right now.
We need to think more
about the aftermath.
Yuki, you okay?
Sweetie, what's wrong?
Yuki?
Yuki, oh.
Yuki...
Oh, my God,
she's throwing up blood.
Help her!
There's nothing we can do.
I can't...
Yuki!
Yuki was drinking this?
Do you think it was poisoned
or did it just go bad?
It went pretty fucking bad.
-Do you think Maria is...
-No.
Maria is fine.
We need to go find her.
But we're not going
to do that sitting here.
So let's go.
There's got to be more
to find in that room.
Maria? Maria?
Oh, thank God.
I'm here. I'm here.
Where were you?
Um...
I don't know.
Um... The last thing
that I remember
is finding Javier's body.
And then I--
Was she in me again?
It's okay, it's okay.
We got you now.
Okay?
What is this place?
This is Sister Dolores's
secret room.
She was pregnant in this dump?
Yeah, it's not exactly
the Chateau Marmont.
Oh, here.
This is her.
She looks sad.
See, that's what I said.
And Yuki?
No.
No, please tell me.
It wasn't you.
What's this?
That's Sister Dolores's diary.
Really?
I think the diary's a dead end.
Well, we don't really have
a lot of options now, do we?
What if the diary helps
us find her body,
which leads us
to the baby's location?
What if she never
even had the baby?
Well, we still find her body.
We still find the baby.
But you said so yourself.
She's not going to write
about her own death.
The diary starts when
she moved into the church.
She was pregnant already.
Listen: "they're poor, but they
make gold statues of me
"and pray to them in their
humble homes like I'm a saint.
"While I sleep in a small room
over the mouth of heaven,
where the winds of
death whisper to me."
What is that, a riddle?
No, I...
-Do you...
-What?
Do you hear that?
Her scream.
It kind of sounds
like a scream a little bit.
It's underneath us.
Help me move the bed.
A basement in Mexico?
Not a basement.
The mouth of heaven
leads to a crypt.
Well, if she's hidden anywhere,
this is good a place as any.
Makes sense that
whoever killed her
would stash her below
where she slept.
Hmm, morbidly poetic.
Poetic, my tush.
It's freezing down here.
Better freezing than
roasting in the sun.
Temperature change makes
sense all the way down here.
Yeah, I'd say we're probably
20 feet underground?
There's got to be a way
out through here, yeah?
Probably.
But I'd say our chances of
getting lost are pretty high.
I got it.
Good thinking, V.
Told you, clever disguise.
Come on.
So she wrote that
she and her lover
would come down
here all the time.
This was like their secret place
away from the world.
Certainly away from
any prying eyes.
They would meet by
the falling holy waters.
I've been hearing water
since we got down here.
Let's go towards it.
Over there.
Come on.
Javier would have loved this.
Can we not talk
about him, please?
Right, sorry.
Hey, there's an opening.
This is it.
She was happy here.
What is it, do you hear her?
She's here somewhere.
Look for her.
Wait!
-What?
-Nothing.
Give me a minute.
I'm so sorry.
Hey...
Who are you talking to?
She's...
She's here.
Is that what I think it is?
Oh...
Oh...
Oh gosh.
Oh boy.
Oh, look at her face.
It's all smashed in.
I hate to say it,
but she doesn't look
like she died peacefully.
They wanted to destroy
her beauty, erase her.
How awful.
I don't see any baby.
She must have delivered it.
Great, we're at
another dead end, then.
She was in love with God
and she was in love
with this man.
Both of them betrayed her.
Well, screw them.
Is that another
earthquake, guys?
We should not be down here.
We have to stay and
find the baby first.
No, it's not safe,
we have to go.
Well, if she's down here
then the baby is, too.
That narrows it down,
but it's not safe.
-We'll come back.
-Guys, we've got to go.
-Yeah.
-What about her?
We'll take her with us.
Come on.
Guys... Look.
Thank frickin' Christ.
Commit this body to heaven.
Sister Dolores,
earth to earth, ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
She suffered in life,
but may she rest in peace.
Amen.
-Amen.
-Amen.
You're gonna keep that?
Yeah, I thought I would.
I hate to be the one
to say this,
but since we're outside,
I think we should just go.
No.
We still have to go
back and look for the baby.
But we don't even know
where she's buried,
and I'm not going
back underground.
It's too dangerous.
Maybe we should just--
I can't believe you guys.
We made a promise.
Right, Zack?
Look, I want to stay here.
I do.
I want to find the baby, but we
can't let anyone else get hurt.
We need to find help.
We need to get them out of here.
We'll come back.
Well, I'm never coming back.
I'm sorry, but I'm not.
Maria, I'm not
turning my back on her.
I'll come back.
I'll get my family,
and I'll come back,
and I'll look for the baby
with more people.
I will, too.
Yeah, you better,
you're family, so...
I am?
Ooh.
Uh, whose car is that?
Yeah, I know that car.
Well, that's the priest.
I told you guys
it was dangerous here.
Father, you came back.
I did.
Oh, my God, it's Him.
What?
What do you mean?
In the diary, it said
that Sister Dolores's lover
had a burn scar
on his right hand.
Hold it, you guys.
Move. Let's go.
Why did you do it?
Shut up and get into
the church now.
You killed her, didn't you?
Let's go.
All of you guys in the church.
You're not going to get away
with this, you piece of shit.
Okay, we're going.
We're going.
Move.
Now!
We're going.
It's okay...
It's okay.
Get her down.
She's going to be okay, right?
Jesus, she lost a lot of blood.
Motherfucker!
Move back!
Father, please, you
don't have to do this.
Oh, it's already done, my child.
You think He wants
you to murder people?
God has shown me how to protect
myself in His holy name.
I'll be okay.
She loved you.
You betrayed her.
No. She betrayed me.
I loved her with
my whole heart...
But the child?
The child would
have killed us both.
So, you faked a miracle
to cover up a scandal?
Our mistakes.
We learn from them.
We use them.
We use them to give
the hopeless hope.
Make the unwanted feel wanted
and the faithless faith.
You understand?
She was going to expose you.
So, you killed her
to cover it up.
Are you hanging in there?
I'm cold.
It's okay, I'm here.
I'm scared, V.
I know, me too.
You killed our friends,
didn't you?
So, why kill us?
You heard her, right?
You said you heard
her screaming.
So, when I drove back and
I found out that you guys
broke into the church,
I couldn't have you find out.
People will come looking for us.
Our families, our friends.
I got low friends
in high places.
This is Mexico.
I can make
all you guys disappear.
God will judge you.
He might.
But He'll judge you first.
-Stop, stop. Please!
-Stop it!
Just please,
please don't kill us.
Please, please, just don't
kill us. Just let us go.
We won't tell anyone!
You think I believe you now?
How are you going
to explain all this, huh?
No.
All of you are going to die.
Fuck that.
I'm not afraid of him!
-No...
-Varla, stop!
Varla!
God loves you.
I'm... so cold.
I can't...
I'm keeping pressure
on it, Lorna.
I need you
to stop moving, Lorna, okay?
I need you to stay still.
Stop moving or I can't help you.
Stay down.
Just let me cover her body.
She's good on the floor.
Just out of respect, please.
Okay.
You grab anything else
and I'll kill you.
Can't we at least
do a final blessing?
I commend this woman
to Almighty God.
May holy Mary and all
the angels and all the saints
come to me, in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
At least you still
know how to be a priest.
You question my faith?
Where I come from,
priests don't kill people.
I can't...
Stay with me, okay?
-Can't...
-No, hey.
Zack, I don't know what to do.
I don't know if there's
anything more we can do.
It's okay, Maria.
It's okay.
I tried to warn you
to prevent this.
You want me to say a
prayer over her body?
Stay back.
Stay back!
I know something about you.
You don't know nothing about me.
She's telling me that
you're a sad little boy
and that you're all alone.
Quiet.
And that you're a
disappointment to everyone.
I hope you know
that you're going to hell.
I'm a man of God.
I'm not going to hell.
Come on, Maria!
Go, go, go.
What the hell was that?
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
We have to go down
to the catacombs.
What?
No, it's not safe.
Where else can we go?
He obviously knows
about that place
if he put Dolores down there.
There's plenty of
places we can hide.
We can hide somewhere until
he walks past
and then we can
sneak back up here.
Go, go, go! Now!
Go, go, go, go.
If he doesn't have a light,
he'll probably get
lost down here.
He doesn't know
about Varla's arrows.
Come on, let's go.
Go.
Please forgive me.
I called the cops.
I told them I'm dealing
with trespassers.
You may think
you're getting away,
but you're only making
it worse on yourselves.
This cave gets
tighter and tighter,
smaller and smaller,
until you can't squeeze
your way back out.
The rats will get you.
They'll eat you alive.
I'm telling you...
Turn off your flashlight.
We should be safe here.
I'm so sorry, Zack.
We never should have come here.
I got everyone killed.
What?
No, hey, hey, Maria.
Look at me.
This is not your fault.
He did this.
Not you.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
Come on, go.
Go, Maria, go.
Found you. Ha!
Be careful, it's tight.
If we get stuck
in here, we're dead.
If we stop, we're dead.
Stop!
Go, go.
Now!
The both of you, come back.
Is that what I think it is?
Oh, no.
Is it?
She died here.
All alone.
He abandoned her here.
That asshole.
He just left her to die
in this awful place?
Zack, no!
I'm okay.
He's not okay.
And you won't be either.
How could you leave
her here alive?
I couldn't do it.
After looking into her eyes
and holding her hands,
her little heartbeat,
I just couldn't do it.
I let God decide.
You're pathetic.
She was right.
Shut up.
Shut up!
She's standing right behind you.
Who?
Sister Dolores.
What the hell?
She's found her baby now.
You can't keep them apart.
Stay back!
Both of you, stay back!
Stay back!
You're going to get
what you deserve.
Maria!
Stay back!
Both of you!
Don't touch the baby!
Hey, there.
Hey, there.
Okay, daddy's got you.
This is what you want!
Go!
You can have the baby!
You can have her!
You win!
Please!
As you sow, so shall you reap.
We commend this
little soul to heaven.
Finally.
Maria...
What is it?
Sister Dolores.
She has her baby now.
You still think that I'm weird?
No.
I think you're amazing.
They'll never believe us.
I think we'll be okay.
Have faith.
Ayudame!
She's coming!
Help me!
My baby! My baby!
Wait, wait!
What are you doing?
My baby!
How's it looking, Rog?
Well, Zack,
my dude, for starters,
there is a shit ton
of duct tape in here.
Can you fix it?
I mean, I'd ask
for more duct tape,
but I think every roll in all
of Mexico is, uh, right here.
Right. Okay. Well, just
do what you can, okay?
Oh, come on.
We're stuck.
Well, of course we are. Why
would things ever go our way?
You'd think with no seats
this thing would run perfectly.
This your gum or mine?
We're gonna be fine.
Don't let me interrupt.
Let me guess, we're stranded.
Did your horoscope tell
you that this morning?
No, I heard you guys talking.
Guys, it's just a test from God.
We're gonna be fine.
Right, Zack?
Yeah. Yeah, fine.
I believe God has our back,
but I'm not looking forward
to fighting off the coyotes.
We'll be fine.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Hey.
Why'd you run off?
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
That woman.
It sounded like
a woman screaming.
-Yeah.
-What's with the face?
Nothing. I just...
didn't think you were gonna
be doing any of this
weird stuff on this trip.
Weird.
You know the stuff that
my dad beat into my head?
Anything supernatural
is either God or...
The devil, right.
And it can't be God
speaking to me?
He spoke to hundreds of
people in the Bible.
Yes, I know, but how
do we know what--
It must really
burn up the deacon
to know that this son is
potentially dating the devil.
Wow.
Look, I just... I haven't
really told him about,
you know, like your
visions, whatever.
Because you're ashamed of me?
No, no, no.
I'm not ashamed of you at all.
I'm just worried
that he'd, like,
ask me to break up
with you or something.
And?
And, and what?
That's a huge deal.
And would you break up with me?
Maria, I...
Wow.
Maria...
God, please grant me
the strength
to not always put
my foot in my mouth.
FYI, these things are useless.
Calls keep failing.
Yeah, pretty sure
we lost service
as soon as we hit the mountains.
So, how are we going
to call for help?
I don't know.
It's toast, kids.
Oh, boy.
You got a little something.
So, any ideas,
Mr. Fearless Leader?
Uh...
And it was literally 116
in the shade
last time I checked,
so let's decide quick.
We could walk somewhere.
Where?
Maybe to that tree?
Or possibly
that tree over there.
I heard it's 110 over there.
There it is again.
Did you hear that?
What?
What are we hearing?
That woman.
It sounds like
she's screaming in pain.
A woman screaming?
I don't hear anything.
Maybe the wind?
So, okay, how about we just
set up camp here for the night?
What about the coyotes?
Yes, coyotes are one thing,
but what about the damn snakes?
I mean, they're everywhere,
and there's this one
called the fer de lance,
and it's the deadliest
in all of Mexico,
and that's here,
like, right now.
Okay, so nature
is not our friend.
Okay, Rog, just chill.
Look, the girls will
sleep in the van,
and then the boys will just...
-Also sleep in the van.
-Obviously.
Thank you, Zack,
great idea from a great man.
Ugh.
All right, I think your
sister's jealous, Varla.
Well, yeah, I call
that particular shade
of red Lorna's envy.
I'm grossed out,
not envious, okay?
Shh.
There she is again.
You really don't hear that?
Maybe it's an animal
you're hearing.
No, it's not an animal, it's...
She's screaming for help.
We have to find her.
No, no, no, no.
If we find her, what's making
her scream is going to find us.
Okay, I mean, have you guys
even heard of Mexican Dracula?
Who has the road atlas?
Uh... oh. I do.
Okay, what's this road we're on?
It's, uh...
Here.
There.
Iglesia De Santa
Dolores de Pena?
Rog, can you tell us how
far away we are from there?
Eesh, well, a mile is
like an inch, right, Javi?
So, we're here, but, okay.
But I just don't know
where on the road we're at.
You really don't hear that?
Maria.
Maria, what are you doing?
Maria.
Honey, get back here.
Maria!
Hey, Zack, quick question.
Is she having a...
a thing again?
What are you talking about?
I'm not trying to rag on her,
but isn't her mom like
a psychic or whatever?
Maria did predict I'd bust my
knees in that homecoming game,
so I believe it.
Psychic gifts are genetic.
They're gifts from God.
Guys, she's...
we need to go after her, okay?
What about our stuff?
Leave it.
We'll be right back.
I'm not leaving my stuff.
What if somebody drives
by and steals it?
Roger, you stay here
and watch our gear, okay?
The hell I am.
Maria!
Come on, babe!
Did she even go this way?
I mean, she was on the road.
If she's lost,
what happens if we get lost?
Maria!
I'm so tired.
Ask Jesus for stamina.
Do you have to be so
cynical about everything?
Not everything, just religion.
Then why did you come
on a Catholic retreat?
And miss out on
a free trip to Mexico?
I may look dumb,
but it's a clever disguise.
Maria!
Oh, it's hot.
It's so hot.
You're so hot.
Thanks, babe.
Yeah, maybe the van wasn't
such a bad idea after all.
James 1:2-4.
"Consider it a joy,
my brothers and sisters
when you face hardships
of any kind."
Here come the Bible quotes.
Oh, I found it.
Listen to this.
"Off the beaten path,
you'll find
"the Iglesia de Santa
Dolores de Pena.
"Largely forgotten now,
its very early history
"was once the talk of
the spiritual world.
"But in 1993, a local
nun, Sister Dolores,
"was dubbed the Miracle Mother
when she became pregnant
despite claiming
she was a virgin."
No way.
I call bullshit.
"Multiple doctors
confirmed her maidenhood,
"and during her pregnancy,
it was even recorded
"that she healed the sick
and the lame
"that sought her attention.
"She made the church
her home
"and lived in it
during her pregnancy.
"The Vatican itself
was considering
"proclaiming the child
the potential
"Second Coming of the Messiah,
"but Sister Dolores mysteriously
disappeared one week
"before she was due
to give birth,
and neither her nor the baby
were ever seen again."
Oh, how sad.
"Some say the baby was stillborn
and died of a broken heart,
"only for both of them to
be buried somewhere together
"in secret.
"Others say she was kidnapped
by devil worshipers
"who wanted to sacrifice
the baby Messiah.
"Whatever the answer,
the only one who knows is
"Sister Dolores, and you
can ask her yourself
"because she is said
to haunt the very church
"that had been her home
and has now been left to
the dusty ravages of time."
Yeesh. No wonder they left
that off the normal tour.
Okay, guys.
I'm deep fried.
I'm taking a break.
Roger?
What?
Don't move.
Why the hell not?
What are you doing, Javi?
I'm going to try
to scare it away.
Scare what away?
Javi?
You trust me?
I don't know.
-Trust me.
-Can I?
Javi, no! See?
Snakes, I told you.
Next is Mexican Dracula.
We're going.
Break's over.
Saved your life, man.
Maria!
Whoa, look at this place.
My dudes, this place
is a literal ghost town.
Maria!
This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine
Shut the fuck up
Let her sing.
She's got a song in her heart.
No, no, I like it.
I like it.
Lorna, it's good.
How about this? I got one, too.
Uh, uh, uh, uh
I'm really tired
and I'm really hot
I wish we could find
a really cool spot
Yeah.
Zack got us lost
and we might rot
I wish you would
get me a really big shot
Oh, water!
Come on, come on.
Maria!
Guys, guys.
Anyone have water?
No seriously.
I'm gonna throw up.
-Maria!
-Guys.
Hey, babe.
Hey.
-What are you doing?
-Holy shit, look at this place.
This is it.
It led us here.
Uh, what led us here?
The screaming.
Yeah, I don't know
if we should have been
following the screaming.
There's someone in there.
Well, I hope someone's in there.
So they can let us in.
Or we can bust a window.
Whoa.
Hi there.
What do you guys want?
I'm sorry, Father.
We're just touring churches
in the area
and our car broke down
about a mile or so
that way and...
my father's a deacon.
If you came here for the Second
Coming, it has not arrived.
This is no place for tourists.
All of you guys must turn
around and go back to your car.
Is there a woman in there?
There's no one in here but me.
But I heard her.
Well, you're greatly mistaken.
Now please go.
It's not safe here.
It's not safe?
What do you mean by that?
Please, all of you go.
The thing is, Father,
we have nowhere we can go.
If you guys go back
to your car, don't worry.
I'll send for help.
Well, could we at least use
your phone to call for help?
And hey, Father, we'd, like,
gladly pay, you know?
So...
There's no telephone here.
There's nothing I could
do for you guys.
Now please, leave.
Father, would you be able
to give us a ride into town?
I mean, we could
just get help there.
No.
Is a priest really just going
to abandon us here alone?
And just so you guys know,
if you leave now and you get
to your car before dark,
you guys will be safe.
Leave any later,
don't wander around.
A bunch of coyotes out there.
What an asshole.
He's not even going
to offer us a ride?
Everyone calm down.
Just do what he asks.
Come on, Maria.
Okay, Javi, how do
we get back to the van?
Let's see.
East from the sun...
Yeah, I could find it.
On second thought... I'm hot.
I'm tired.
It's going to be dark soon,
so follow my lead.
Yeah, pack in, guys, hurry.
Shh, shh, shh.
Hurry, hurry.
Pack in.
We just got to wait till
the coast is clear.
Man, he's hauling ass.
The priest made it
sound like a death trap,
so maybe we should
just take his advice.
We can't break in.
It's church property.
Lorna, God will
forgive us, okay?
He doesn't want us to get
chewed up by snakes and coyotes.
Okay, guys ready?
And... go, go, go, go, go.
Totally wabi-sabi.
Exactly what I was going to say.
Wait, Yuki, what
does that mean?
It's a Japanese term
for embracing the beauty
of imperfection.
They really don't make
it like they used to.
Dad would have had a field day
in here with his...
-measuring tape.
-Measuring tape.
Hello?
Do you have to do that?
She's still in here.
I can feel her.
Can you still hear her?
I'm not crazy.
I never said you were.
So what if gangbanger
priest comes back?
Should be okay overnight.
We'll just leave early in the
morning before he gets back
and yells at us some more.
Yeah, I guess these
are our beds for the night.
Finally.
God did not design me for
strenuous exercise, my dudes.
Same-sies.
Oooh.
God provides.
-Purse?
-Yes, ma'am.
Still no service.
Yeah, do you think
the priest
was lying about
not having a phone?
I think there must be
an office somewhere.
I feel like that's where a
phone would be if it exists.
Javi, you want to
go look for one?
Okay, does anyone
have a lighter?
Uh, yeah.
God bless marijuana.
Maria, what are you doing?
I'm lighting a candle
for protection.
Here, are you okay?
Something's...
Oh, whoa!
Whoa, okay, um...
We gotta help.
-Okay, I got her, I got her.
-Bathroom?
V, help me, please,
thank you.
Find the bathroom.
It's okay, girl, I got you,
it's okay.
Heatstroke, gotta be.
It's okay, it's okay.
I've been there, let it all out.
Was it something you ate?
I don't...
Is anyone else getting
creeped out by this place?
You mean the abandoned,
spider-infested,
dusty church in
the middle of nowhere?
No, why?
Ow, fuck.
That's never happened before.
Okay, something
is super off here.
You're just freaking
yourself out.
God provided us a sanctuary.
We should be grateful.
Lorna, I swear, every time
you talk like that,
it makes me want
to punch you in the teeth.
Varla, I am so...
Grateful that we could
spend this time together.
Same, sis.
You guys...
Oh God, we should get
her some water.
That's dehydration city.
It's getting dark.
We have flashlights,
it'll be cozy.
Check this out.
This must be her.
Her who?
Oh, you don't know
about the nun?
What nun?
Allow me to educate.
There was this nun,
and she was like the
spiritual mother of miracle...
Relax, she'll be fine.
Yeah, but what if she's not?
I mean, what if she needs
a hospital, what then?
You know, if the deacon
were here,
he'd make us do
a prayer circle for Maria.
Roger, not even my dad believes
prayer cures everything.
Does Maria know your dad
wants you to be a priest?
No.
I think my dad and I's
opinions differ on my future.
Do you think it's heatstroke,
like you said?
Nah, it can't be heatstroke.
Maybe blood clots?
Hey!
Hey, you okay?
Better.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
What in heaven's name was that?
The priest did say
the place was rotting.
Ugh, cold green beans
in a can, my favorite.
Why did we pack these?
It's better than nothing.
Ugh.
Oh, you know what I could
really go for right now?
-Clam chowder.
-Clam chowder?
Lorna, that would smell
like shit in here, okay?
Here, it's moonstone.
It helps with tummy troubles.
Thank you.
You know, it always helped
my mom with her indigestion.
Just rub it on your tummy,
think happy thoughts.
Will do.
Hey guys.
Phone?
No phone. No office.
Scram.
Hey, how's your stomach feeling?
It's better.
I don't...
I don't know what that was.
It could have been a mixture
of the medication and the heat.
It don't think
the antidepressants
are triggered by
environmental changes.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
I know.
You don't have to be sneaky
with trying to remind me, Zack.
I appreciate that you care.
And before you ask outright,
I did take them.
Doctor Rackett would kill me
if I didn't.
Well, good.
You know, I just...
I know.
You worry.
There was someone
screaming, though.
I know.
I do think it is a little weird
how you led us exactly here.
Is this an earthquake?
Guys.
Okay. Okay.
All right.
Oh, I should have
just stayed in the car.
Maria!
Maria?
Oh my God!
Maria, what's happening?
What the hell's her problem?
Maria!
Maria!
What the hell is going on?
Oh, my God.
Somebody do something!
Somebody help her.
How are we supposed to help her?
Maria, baby, I'm right here.
Okay? I'm right here.
Maria?
-Maria?
-Maria?
Are you okay?
Maria...
Whoa...
Maria.
Maria, it's me, Zack.
-Holy shit.
-Zack!
Roger, help me.
I'm not getting near all that.
Help me, asshole.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
What do I do?
-Grab that chair.
-Okay.
-Tie her up.
-Okay. Okay, okay, okay.
I'm trying.
What are you doing?
You'll hurt her!
We're trying to keep
her from hurting us.
Maria? Maria? Maria?
It's Zack. Can you hear me?
I'm right here.
I'm so sorry.
Be careful.
Is it a seizure?
Bro, look at her stomach.
This isn't a seizure.
This isn't anything normal.
Maria, Maria, it's Zack.
Can you hear me?
Maria is sleeping.
Then... who is this?
Dolores.
Wait, as in Sister Dolores?
This isn't happening, right?
My baby.
Find... my baby.
What?
Okay, okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm out. I'm out.
I'm out, this is...
This is insane!
I would rather take my
chances with the snakes
and the coyotes,
I'm outta here!
-Roger!
-Fuck this, I'm out!
Roger, get back here, idiot!
Will you help me?
I'll help you.
I'll help you,
just don't hurt Maria.
Please, just let her go.
Maria? Maria?
Hey, Maria. Maria?
I think she just passed out.
Hey, I'm right here.
I'm right here.
Thank God.
No, no, no, no,
no, no, this is it.
We came in this way.
Why isn't it open?
Come on!
What in the hell is that?
Ah!
Could swear I just
heard Rog scream.
Knowing Roger, he
probably just saw a mouse.
Her fever is down a bit.
Are you sure it's
safe to untie her?
We couldn't just leave her
tied up like that.
Look, I'm not gonna say
the word "possess," but I...
She wasn't.
I read that some possessed
people can lift an entire...
She wasn't possessed, Yuki!
Then what would
you call it, Zack?
Split personality?
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
Which one is that?
Garnet.
It's a renewing stone.
Protects against evil spirits
and mental instability.
Still no service.
Wait, try 911.
It should still work
without reception.
Are we sure that 911
is the same in Mexico?
It could be a different number.
Try it.
Maybe it redirects.
What do I say?
Just say that we need help.
Call failed.
Just keep trying, okay?
Meanwhile, we should
look for Roger.
If he ran off,
he's the type to get lost.
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna stay here with Maria.
I'm not going anywhere.
Okay.
Yuki, you come too.
Around here is
where we came in from.
Roger!
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no!
-Oh, my God.
-How...
Maria, baby.
Please be okay.
You have to be okay.
You mean the world to me
and I need you.
What happened?
I don't know.
But we're not spending
another second here.
Oh, my God.
Roger...
My God, is he...
Zack, we need to find a
way out right now, okay?
It isn't safe here.
-No, it's Roger, is he--
-Yes, he's dead.
It looks like he was killed.
What? Killed by what?
By who?
-We're the only ones here!
-I don't know, okay?
Ask Maria. She seems
to have made a new friend.
Do you think that sister
Dolores's ghost killed Roger?
I hate to sound like a broken
record here, but I don't know.
Okay? Nothing makes sense.
God, this is a nightmare.
It could be some random psycho
that's still locked
in here with us.
I should have just stayed home.
Okay, listen, gang.
We need to stay focused
and work together.
Now, we know the doors
are padlocked,
but there's a bunch
of glass everywhere
and stuff to break it with.
This place is bigger than
it looks from the outside.
That's good.
That means there's more
possibilities for a way out.
Shit! What was that?
That's a person.
Not a ghost.
-How can you be sure?
-What?
Uh, okay.
We all saw that, yeah?
Let's just go, please.
Um, hold up,
can you give us a minute?
Yeah, yeah, we'll go
and we'll meet you guys.
Uh, no, not far, though, right?
-Let's just give them a minute.
-Okay.
What's up?
I just want you to tell me
that you love me.
What?
I always say that I love you.
I know, but I just want
to hear it one more time
in case anything happens.
-Nothing's gonna happen.
-You don't know that.
I know that I love you.
Now you have to say it back.
I love you, too.
Oh, hey. Hey.
Easy, easy, easy.
I'm so dizzy.
What happened?
Do you not remember anything?
I remember screaming and then...
I fell to the ground
and I hit my head.
Here, let me
get you some water.
Did I black out or something?
Um...
Listen, I don't really know
how to tell you this.
Where is everyone?
Come on, come on!
Good job, babe!
No... come on.
Come on!
It's deadbolted.
Stop, that's not going
to do anything!
Wait, what about that?
That's high as hell.
Maybe we can find
a ladder.
Or stack boxes.
Stack boxes?
Well, you think of something.
There she is.
Jesus, who?
Stay here, I'll be right back.
No, idiot!
No, stay there,
I'll be right back.
Come back!
Poor Roger.
He always had a smile even
when he was complaining.
Yeah.
The optimistic pessimist.
He did not deserve this.
I'm scared, Zack.
I don't know what this is,
but I just...
I just want us to be okay.
Hey, you'll be okay.
I'll make sure of it.
I need you to
promise me something.
If she takes me over again,
I need you to exorcise me.
What?
But...
Sure, I know some of the words,
but I don't know the rituals.
I don't...
I'm not even ordained.
I don't even know if
a demon would listen to me.
It's not a demon.
It's a mother.
Promise me, Zachary.
Hey, come out right now.
I'm not playing around.
Show yourself.
Oh... Now you're
just pissing me off.
Whoa!
Why do you think she chose me?
I don't know.
Maybe it's just bad luck.
Maybe it's your gift.
You know, I didn't ask to
be, like... weird or whatever.
I know.
Hey...
I know.
It's, it's just...
It's just what?
It's just disconcerting,
I guess.
Have you guys
seen Javier or Varla?
What?
I thought they were with you.
Maria, are you okay?
Yeah, just exhausted.
Javier ran off because
he thought he saw the nun
and then Varla
just ran after him.
Wait, what, you guys
are seeing the nun?
But now we can't
find either of them.
Okay, then we need
to go after them.
I'm sure they're fine, okay?
How can you say that?
Look what just
happened to Roger.
Okay, well, we're not going
to let anything happen to them,
but we need to stick together.
-You okay to walk?
-Yeah.
Okay, let's go.
Varla!
Javi!
Man, come on!
Varla?
Can you guys check the windows?
Every single one we've
come across, and no luck.
It's like they're concrete.
And all the doors
are bolted and padlocked.
Javi!
Do you guys hear that?
Go.
No!
Oh!
I'm so sorry, Varla.
I'm so sorry.
What should we do now?
I don't know, Yuki.
What if we start a fire and burn
down one of these wooden doors?
Start a fire?
Yuki, no, we'll be
trapped in here.
No.
Okay, start thinking of
a solid plan B
because we can't stay here.
Okay.
Grab the rope.
Help me.
We want to help you, but
why did you kill our friends?
The devil is loose.
The devil, he kills.
Help me.
Find my baby...
And I'll protect you.
The devil?
The devil hunts you.
Help me, and you can go.
Where should we find your baby?
Here.
I can feel her,
but she's lost to me.
Okay, but I need
you to let Maria go.
Help me.
I'll help you,
but you need to leave Maria.
What are you doing?
I'm keeping a promise.
I command you
to leave this body.
You're cast out.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
our God and Lord,
strengthened by the intercession
of the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
mother of God,
of blessed Michael,
the archangel,
the blessed apostles
Peter and Paul,
and all the saints
and powerful
in the Holy Authority
in our ministry,
we confidently undertake
to repulse the attacks
and deceits of the devil.
No, stop. Stop!
Let Maria go!
No!
God arises.
His enemies...
His enemies are scattered,
and those who hate
him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away,
so are they driven.
As wax melts before the fire,
so are the wicked perishing
in the presence of God.
Are you exorcising her?
She asked me to.
You're not a priest, Zack.
Just stop.
We drive you from us,
whoever you may be,
unclean spirits,
all Satanic powers,
all infernal invaders,
all wicked legions,
assemblies, and sects.
Stop! You're hurting her!
I have to keep going!
Stop it, Zack!
Just stop.
We can cast her out.
In the name and by
the power of our Lord,
Jesus Christ,
may you be snatched away
and driven from
the church of God
and driven from the
souls made in the image
and likeness of God
and the precious blood
of the Divine Lamb!
Jesus!
-Yuki!
-Yuki!
Are you okay?
Yuki!
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I don't
know what happened.
I feel like someone
was choking me.
-Are you alright?
-Yeah, I think so.
Guys, where's Maria?
Dammit!
Why won't any of this shit open?
The best thing we can do
for Maria is find that baby.
I'm with you.
Before she left,
she said something like,
my room, you have to find
my room, something like that.
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying with Javi.
-V, listen to me.
-No, no, no.
I don't want prayers.
I don't want Bible
bullshit, okay?
Just let me be sad.
Varla, I think it's best
if we stay together.
I can stay with her.
-Are you sure? I...
-Yeah.
You guys go ahead,
but please hurry back.
Scream if...
You know.
He was going to propose.
I found a ring in his backpack.
I would have said yes.
We need a drink.
Deuteronomy 31:6.
"Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid
"or terrified by them
for the Lord your God
"will always go with you.
He will not leave you.
or forsake you."
Sorry, I quote Bible verses
when I get nervous.
It's okay.
Don't have to be sorry.
Um...
So when we say "baby,"
what are we actually
talking about?
Because she died in
like the '90s, right?
Yeah, I think we might be
looking for a burial site
or something, I don't know.
Right.
And how are we supposed
to get to the burial site
when all the doors
and windows are shut?
Not to mention we've looked
in every single place here
and we haven't found anything.
Come on!
Um, maybe it's
under the floorboards.
No, I doubt it a stupid place
like this would have a basement.
What did you do?
Jesus fucking Christ!
Oh, sorry!
Aguardiente.
It's fire water.
It's good, right?
Just what the grief
counselor ordered.
Sure, you can finish that.
-Sorry.
-No, it's fine.
I'm sure there's something
else around here.
He wanted kids, you know.
Not you, right?
I wasn't sure I ever wanted
to be a mom or whatever,
but with him, maybe
I would have enjoyed it.
They would have had curly hair.
I loved his curly hair.
Bingo!
Communion wine?
Isn't that sacrilegious?
Says the atheist.
Are you still thirsty?
I'll pass.
I don't know what's
in the Agua stuff,
but I'm sure it doesn't
mix well with wine.
Suit yourself.
It's a bedroom.
Must be hers.
Sister Dolores's.
I think that's her.
She's pretty.
She's sad.
You can see it behind her eyes.
It's like the weight
of the world is...
obliterating her.
Hey, call me crazy, but...
She kind of looks like Maria.
Can I tell you something?
I'm starting to doubt
this whole God thing.
Right.
What kind of God would
allow this to happen?
Lorna would say God works
in mysterious ways,
but it's just an empty phrase.
I love her, but she can be
an idiot sometimes.
It's an excuse.
Yeah, I mean,
He's all over the Bible,
but now He's nowhere
to be found.
What's His deal?
Maybe it's the booze talking.
Maybe you're waking up.
Do you hear that?
It feels like
we're being watched.
We are.
Well...
No baby.
Just all these old newspapers.
Is anything standing out at you?
No, not really.
I was looking for anything
related to the church,
like burial sites,
that kind of stuff.
She kept every single
piece of news on her.
I mean, my Spanish is limited,
but it looks like it's just
all about her healings
and miracles,
that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Do you see any pictures
of the church?
Yeah, a few.
Yeah, but did any of them
have a gravesite out front?
Uh, let me check.
No, I just see buildings,
but I'll keep looking.
Okay.
What was that?
What? What?
A book?
It's a diary.
Find anything?
Oh, yeah.
Sister Dolores's diary.
You're kidding.
Yeah, we found it under her bed.
Her bed?
Yeah, we found her room
from when she lived here.
Oh, shit, the answers have
got to be in here, right?
Well, not everything.
Obviously, she can't write
about her own death.
And she doesn't know
where the baby is,
so that wouldn't be
in there either.
Yeah, but it's her life
in her own words.
There's got to be some
kind of clue in here
that can tell us
what's going on.
Have you read the last page?
No.
Pardon my remedial Spanish,
but this is nuts.
"I'm going to tell
them the truth."
My diamond?
No, "my lover wants me to keep
my secret for eternity.
"Our child will be
the child of the world,
"but my heart is
guilty in the...
bears?"
No, "guilty in the eyes of God.
"I will reveal the truth.
I hope he will see the light
of God in my truth."
Her lover, so the baby
wasn't divine?
Well, duh, that doesn't happen.
Not now, Varla.
Well, maybe her lover
killed her
because she was about
to spill the beans.
I mean, that's scandal city.
Or maybe she died giving birth
because not everything
is a true crime television show.
Look, who done it
doesn't matter right now.
We need to think more
about the aftermath.
Yuki, you okay?
Sweetie, what's wrong?
Yuki?
Yuki, oh.
Yuki...
Oh, my God,
she's throwing up blood.
Help her!
There's nothing we can do.
I can't...
Yuki!
Yuki was drinking this?
Do you think it was poisoned
or did it just go bad?
It went pretty fucking bad.
-Do you think Maria is...
-No.
Maria is fine.
We need to go find her.
But we're not going
to do that sitting here.
So let's go.
There's got to be more
to find in that room.
Maria? Maria?
Oh, thank God.
I'm here. I'm here.
Where were you?
Um...
I don't know.
Um... The last thing
that I remember
is finding Javier's body.
And then I--
Was she in me again?
It's okay, it's okay.
We got you now.
Okay?
What is this place?
This is Sister Dolores's
secret room.
She was pregnant in this dump?
Yeah, it's not exactly
the Chateau Marmont.
Oh, here.
This is her.
She looks sad.
See, that's what I said.
And Yuki?
No.
No, please tell me.
It wasn't you.
What's this?
That's Sister Dolores's diary.
Really?
I think the diary's a dead end.
Well, we don't really have
a lot of options now, do we?
What if the diary helps
us find her body,
which leads us
to the baby's location?
What if she never
even had the baby?
Well, we still find her body.
We still find the baby.
But you said so yourself.
She's not going to write
about her own death.
The diary starts when
she moved into the church.
She was pregnant already.
Listen: "they're poor, but they
make gold statues of me
"and pray to them in their
humble homes like I'm a saint.
"While I sleep in a small room
over the mouth of heaven,
where the winds of
death whisper to me."
What is that, a riddle?
No, I...
-Do you...
-What?
Do you hear that?
Her scream.
It kind of sounds
like a scream a little bit.
It's underneath us.
Help me move the bed.
A basement in Mexico?
Not a basement.
The mouth of heaven
leads to a crypt.
Well, if she's hidden anywhere,
this is good a place as any.
Makes sense that
whoever killed her
would stash her below
where she slept.
Hmm, morbidly poetic.
Poetic, my tush.
It's freezing down here.
Better freezing than
roasting in the sun.
Temperature change makes
sense all the way down here.
Yeah, I'd say we're probably
20 feet underground?
There's got to be a way
out through here, yeah?
Probably.
But I'd say our chances of
getting lost are pretty high.
I got it.
Good thinking, V.
Told you, clever disguise.
Come on.
So she wrote that
she and her lover
would come down
here all the time.
This was like their secret place
away from the world.
Certainly away from
any prying eyes.
They would meet by
the falling holy waters.
I've been hearing water
since we got down here.
Let's go towards it.
Over there.
Come on.
Javier would have loved this.
Can we not talk
about him, please?
Right, sorry.
Hey, there's an opening.
This is it.
She was happy here.
What is it, do you hear her?
She's here somewhere.
Look for her.
Wait!
-What?
-Nothing.
Give me a minute.
I'm so sorry.
Hey...
Who are you talking to?
She's...
She's here.
Is that what I think it is?
Oh...
Oh...
Oh gosh.
Oh boy.
Oh, look at her face.
It's all smashed in.
I hate to say it,
but she doesn't look
like she died peacefully.
They wanted to destroy
her beauty, erase her.
How awful.
I don't see any baby.
She must have delivered it.
Great, we're at
another dead end, then.
She was in love with God
and she was in love
with this man.
Both of them betrayed her.
Well, screw them.
Is that another
earthquake, guys?
We should not be down here.
We have to stay and
find the baby first.
No, it's not safe,
we have to go.
Well, if she's down here
then the baby is, too.
That narrows it down,
but it's not safe.
-We'll come back.
-Guys, we've got to go.
-Yeah.
-What about her?
We'll take her with us.
Come on.
Guys... Look.
Thank frickin' Christ.
Commit this body to heaven.
Sister Dolores,
earth to earth, ashes to ashes.
Dust to dust.
She suffered in life,
but may she rest in peace.
Amen.
-Amen.
-Amen.
You're gonna keep that?
Yeah, I thought I would.
I hate to be the one
to say this,
but since we're outside,
I think we should just go.
No.
We still have to go
back and look for the baby.
But we don't even know
where she's buried,
and I'm not going
back underground.
It's too dangerous.
Maybe we should just--
I can't believe you guys.
We made a promise.
Right, Zack?
Look, I want to stay here.
I do.
I want to find the baby, but we
can't let anyone else get hurt.
We need to find help.
We need to get them out of here.
We'll come back.
Well, I'm never coming back.
I'm sorry, but I'm not.
Maria, I'm not
turning my back on her.
I'll come back.
I'll get my family,
and I'll come back,
and I'll look for the baby
with more people.
I will, too.
Yeah, you better,
you're family, so...
I am?
Ooh.
Uh, whose car is that?
Yeah, I know that car.
Well, that's the priest.
I told you guys
it was dangerous here.
Father, you came back.
I did.
Oh, my God, it's Him.
What?
What do you mean?
In the diary, it said
that Sister Dolores's lover
had a burn scar
on his right hand.
Hold it, you guys.
Move. Let's go.
Why did you do it?
Shut up and get into
the church now.
You killed her, didn't you?
Let's go.
All of you guys in the church.
You're not going to get away
with this, you piece of shit.
Okay, we're going.
We're going.
Move.
Now!
We're going.
It's okay...
It's okay.
Get her down.
She's going to be okay, right?
Jesus, she lost a lot of blood.
Motherfucker!
Move back!
Father, please, you
don't have to do this.
Oh, it's already done, my child.
You think He wants
you to murder people?
God has shown me how to protect
myself in His holy name.
I'll be okay.
She loved you.
You betrayed her.
No. She betrayed me.
I loved her with
my whole heart...
But the child?
The child would
have killed us both.
So, you faked a miracle
to cover up a scandal?
Our mistakes.
We learn from them.
We use them.
We use them to give
the hopeless hope.
Make the unwanted feel wanted
and the faithless faith.
You understand?
She was going to expose you.
So, you killed her
to cover it up.
Are you hanging in there?
I'm cold.
It's okay, I'm here.
I'm scared, V.
I know, me too.
You killed our friends,
didn't you?
So, why kill us?
You heard her, right?
You said you heard
her screaming.
So, when I drove back and
I found out that you guys
broke into the church,
I couldn't have you find out.
People will come looking for us.
Our families, our friends.
I got low friends
in high places.
This is Mexico.
I can make
all you guys disappear.
God will judge you.
He might.
But He'll judge you first.
-Stop, stop. Please!
-Stop it!
Just please,
please don't kill us.
Please, please, just don't
kill us. Just let us go.
We won't tell anyone!
You think I believe you now?
How are you going
to explain all this, huh?
No.
All of you are going to die.
Fuck that.
I'm not afraid of him!
-No...
-Varla, stop!
Varla!
God loves you.
I'm... so cold.
I can't...
I'm keeping pressure
on it, Lorna.
I need you
to stop moving, Lorna, okay?
I need you to stay still.
Stop moving or I can't help you.
Stay down.
Just let me cover her body.
She's good on the floor.
Just out of respect, please.
Okay.
You grab anything else
and I'll kill you.
Can't we at least
do a final blessing?
I commend this woman
to Almighty God.
May holy Mary and all
the angels and all the saints
come to me, in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
At least you still
know how to be a priest.
You question my faith?
Where I come from,
priests don't kill people.
I can't...
Stay with me, okay?
-Can't...
-No, hey.
Zack, I don't know what to do.
I don't know if there's
anything more we can do.
It's okay, Maria.
It's okay.
I tried to warn you
to prevent this.
You want me to say a
prayer over her body?
Stay back.
Stay back!
I know something about you.
You don't know nothing about me.
She's telling me that
you're a sad little boy
and that you're all alone.
Quiet.
And that you're a
disappointment to everyone.
I hope you know
that you're going to hell.
I'm a man of God.
I'm not going to hell.
Come on, Maria!
Go, go, go.
What the hell was that?
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
We have to go down
to the catacombs.
What?
No, it's not safe.
Where else can we go?
He obviously knows
about that place
if he put Dolores down there.
There's plenty of
places we can hide.
We can hide somewhere until
he walks past
and then we can
sneak back up here.
Go, go, go! Now!
Go, go, go, go.
If he doesn't have a light,
he'll probably get
lost down here.
He doesn't know
about Varla's arrows.
Come on, let's go.
Go.
Please forgive me.
I called the cops.
I told them I'm dealing
with trespassers.
You may think
you're getting away,
but you're only making
it worse on yourselves.
This cave gets
tighter and tighter,
smaller and smaller,
until you can't squeeze
your way back out.
The rats will get you.
They'll eat you alive.
I'm telling you...
Turn off your flashlight.
We should be safe here.
I'm so sorry, Zack.
We never should have come here.
I got everyone killed.
What?
No, hey, hey, Maria.
Look at me.
This is not your fault.
He did this.
Not you.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
Come on, go.
Go, Maria, go.
Found you. Ha!
Be careful, it's tight.
If we get stuck
in here, we're dead.
If we stop, we're dead.
Stop!
Go, go.
Now!
The both of you, come back.
Is that what I think it is?
Oh, no.
Is it?
She died here.
All alone.
He abandoned her here.
That asshole.
He just left her to die
in this awful place?
Zack, no!
I'm okay.
He's not okay.
And you won't be either.
How could you leave
her here alive?
I couldn't do it.
After looking into her eyes
and holding her hands,
her little heartbeat,
I just couldn't do it.
I let God decide.
You're pathetic.
She was right.
Shut up.
Shut up!
She's standing right behind you.
Who?
Sister Dolores.
What the hell?
She's found her baby now.
You can't keep them apart.
Stay back!
Both of you, stay back!
Stay back!
You're going to get
what you deserve.
Maria!
Stay back!
Both of you!
Don't touch the baby!
Hey, there.
Hey, there.
Okay, daddy's got you.
This is what you want!
Go!
You can have the baby!
You can have her!
You win!
Please!
As you sow, so shall you reap.
We commend this
little soul to heaven.
Finally.
Maria...
What is it?
Sister Dolores.
She has her baby now.
You still think that I'm weird?
No.
I think you're amazing.
They'll never believe us.
I think we'll be okay.
Have faith.
