[suspenseful music plays]
[ELYSE] From the Evil One.
[match strikes]
[ELYSE] From the Evil One.
[ELYSE] Deliver me.
[ELYSE] Deliver me.
[ELYSE] At the hour of my death
At the hour of my death.
Call me and bid me
come to Thee.
Call me and bid me
come to Thee.
[ELYSE] And with Thy Saints.
And with Thy Saints.
[ELYSE] Let me praise
Thee forever and ever...
Let me praise
Thee for ever and ever.
[TEGAN] Jessica!
You need to wake up.
Jessica.
[footsteps]
You don't even have the decency
to be ashamed of yourself.
I didn't mean to.
Great. Yeah,
that totally un-fucks her.
You don't have much time.
Fight them!
[ELYSE] The Lord is with thee.
May the embers of your soul
escape this wickedness
and find shelter in His arms.
[wheels rolling]
[ELYSE] Just three more days
and we can burn these corpses.
[THOMAS] Good.
I don't...
I don't take
pleasure in any of this.
[ELYSE] It is a
trial, to be sure.
[THOMAS] How many more...
until we find the
beast that did this?
[ELYSE] Two.
That we know of.
[ELYSE] We're close.
[THOMAS] Hm.
[music intensifies]
Come on.
Please.
[metal clanging]
Good.
You're awake.
Come on.
Come with me.
Come on.
Move.
Sit.
[papers rustling]
I was worried you
were going to be a talker.
We get a lot of talkers.
Name?
Take a look around.
Then look down at your wrists
and ask yourself.
Do I really
want to start this off
by being a petulant brat?
Hm?
Name.
J-J-- [coughs]
Jess.
Jessica Marie Tanner.
Jess.
Age?
Twenty-two.
Faith?
Sorry?
What religion do you follow?
None. Uh...
I don't know.
Agnostic?
Number of sexual partners?
What?
Uh, none, uh...
At the moment.
Bit of a...
Bit of a dry patch.
Number of sexual partners?
Three.
Do you know this man?
Have you slept with him?
What? I--I--
I don't--
I don't know this man--
When did you sleep with him?
You have me
confused with someone else.
When did you sleep with Caleb?
Look!
Look.
I don't know this man.
I haven't slept with anyone.
And...
I don't know where I am
or where here is. Please.
I promise if you just...
If you let me go, I-- I won't--
I won't tell anyone.
Don't know why
you insist on lying.
I'm trying to save you.
[grunting]
[choking]
[TORQUEMADA]
That's quite enough.
I know what you're feeling.
I understand how
confusing this must all
be for you.
In one of my early
placements within the church
I interned for an excorcist.
Father Mengucci.
He was old by
the time I came through
Well into his 80s.
He seemed
one step above a mad man
gibbering in the subway.
Appearances are deceptive.
And he could see things like
no man I've ever known.
We came to save Daniela,
a young girl
not unlike yourself.
Drug sick.
Homeless.
Broken.
I saw a typically lost soul.
But Father Mengucci
saw the true cause.
That is...
Until the beast
inside her ripped his throat
from his body.
I couldn't save that girl.
My lack of faith failed her.
And him.
But since then,
I have studied diligently.
And I can see things now well
beyond what Father Mengucci
could only dream of.
So believe me
when I tell you
that time is short.
And you are sick.
You can feel it.
And in three
days that sickness will
burn you up.
And if that time comes.
I will do for you what I should
have done for Daniela all those
years ago.
I will put you down
like the dog you've become.
No-- no!
No!
[screaming]
[screaming]
Now she knows the stakes.
Now she has the
option to comply. [screaming]
They'll never take it.
But we have to
give them the choice.
[gasping]
Please continue.
[gasping]
Do you renounce the world,
the flesh and the Devil?
Do you renounce
the world,
the flesh and the Devil?
Yes! Yes
anything. Please!
Again!
[gasping, coughing]
There she is.
[panting]
Hello, little wolf.
[coughing]
Take her back to her cell.
I'll run deeper checks
on everyone she's been with
to confirm it's a
first-case contact.
God be with you, Brother Marcus.
[panting]
[door opens]
No no no no no no no no no no.
Please! Please.
I'll do anything I--
I slept with him.
Is that what you want to hear?
I don't know who the fuck he is.
I've never
met him before, but if--
If you want me to tell you that
I fucked him then I fucked him!
Please!
[cage door slams]
What are you doing?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Please!
Please don't do this. Please...
You piece of shit!
I'll fucking kill you!
Do you hear me?
[shrieking]
You piece of shit!
[gasping]
[shower running]
Kate?
Is that you?
[wincing]
[camera clicks]
[distant whispers]
[whispering voices]
[THOMAS] Cheeky.
[THOMAS] Is it
always so nice in here?
What? I--
I know you.
Oh?
No, no.
I'm just passing through.
Just in town for a few days.
[ABEL] Come on, Legs.
People are dying of thirst.
[JESS] Right, um.
Uh. Sorry, Abel I--
[ABEL] Sort it out.
I'm off.
Wow.
[THOMAS] Well?
Sorry. What
were you saying?
Is it always this nice in here?
[men cheering]
Yeah, nah.
Some nights this
place is full of assholes.
[phone pings]
Oh my God.
[footsteps]
[door opens]
Hello again.
Did you enjoy looking through
those photos on your phone?
We did.
We find that it...
helps to
have reminders in
the outside in here.
[lock clicks]
Don't worry.
There's no reception.
Get up.
Get up.
[light buzzing]
Don't worry.
We won't be interrupted today.
Good, good. I'm...
glad it's just us.
After yesterday...
I don't know if I
could go through that again...
I'm sorry.
Today is going to be
much,
much worse.
You see,
we need to get
this thing out of you.
And I can't
stop until it's gone.
Jesus Christ.
[gasping]
Don't you ever
take His name in vain again.
We're trying to save you.
You ungrateful mutt.
I'm sorry.
I don't need your apology.
Save that for God.
What I need
is your patience today.
I'm going to
open up your connection
to the beast.
To this...
demon of passion.
And that means enraging it.
And that means enraging you.
You.
Jessica Marie Tanner.
Twenty-two, currently homeless
and staying on the couch of
your friend
Catherine Josie Scott,
also twenty-two
who went to high school with.
Recently broke up with
Matthew Alexander Roberts,
who you've been
living with in sin...
for the past three years.
How long have
you been following me?
Long enough.
What?
You know me now?
You stalked me
for a couple of days and
now you've judged me of
being "of the beast"?
Do you want me to tell you what
I've done like this is a
confessional?
Nothing.
Fucking nothing.
I've smoked some weed.
Popped some pills
at a rave one time.
Didn't like it.
Slept with three boys.
One of whom didn't even
get it in enough to count.
My parents moved out west
and I haven't seen them since.
I work at a bar.
I get up, go to work, come
home exhausted, and go to sleep.
The only people that I've seen
in the past month has been Kate,
Kate's boyfriend,
and then the people that I--
see at--
And the--
You can feel it
burning can't you?
And you're seeing it now?
As this corruption
gets closer to burning you out
you're going to start to
see things
and remember things
that aren't your memories.
Where's Kate?
You know the
answer to that question.
What did you do to her?
You tell me.
Go on, pup.
Get a good whiff of her scent.
[inhales]
[grunting]
[panting]
[KATE] Well,
my dad hates you so...
[ALEX] Fuck,
well I don't like him either.
[knocking]
NO!
[ELYSE] Go go go go go go.
Fu--
[screaming]
[grunting]
[squealing]
Where's Kate?
[whimpering]
[soft crying]
[Jess gasping]
[sobbing]
We kept them alive
for as long as we could.
We questioned them
and when we were sure we had
everything, we checked them for
evil spirits.
The boy
struggled with the tests.
[grunting]
He was so weak.
The girl...
She lied to me.
A lot.
We had to treat her
as if she was infected.
[sobbing]
If the beast had been
in her body as it is in yours
she would have survived
and we could have purified her.
Thankfully,
she wasn't infected and
we were able to
give her her last rites.
Her soul is with the Father now.
[Jess sobbing]
We have just two days
now before the first moon.
Anyone harboring an
infection at that point
will burn from the inside out.
The beast
will consume your soul,
and your body will become
nothing more than a
plaything for the Devil himself.
If we're going to save you,
I'll need to be quick.
Decisive.
And pay no
attention to your screams.
You see, this illness has been
around for a very long time,
and we have
developed a number of solutions.
But the old ways
are still the best.
What... what--
It's wolfsbane.
Hush.
Hush, hush.
Hush.
Jessica Tanner,
Jessica Tanner, Jessica Tanner.
Thrice named and bound.
I bring the Lord unto thee.
[screaming]
[gasping]
I cast thee out!
[footsteps]
[MONIQUE] Hush, sister.
(hush sister)
I know how this feels.
(this feels)
[eerie music]
[distant whispering]
[Jess grunting]
Fuck!
Come on.
Fuck.
[screaming]
[suspenseful music]
[BOUNCER] Heh?
Uh...
I'm here to see Caleb.
Here.
It's everything we have on you.
It's comprehensive.
Alright, look.
I started working for
my father about a year ago.
And in that
time, we have dogged to you
from Kolokotroni Square,
across half of Asia.
I'm starting to
lose count of the people
that we've...
Killed?
It's not like that.
We were trying to save them.
I just I--
I want it to stop.
You know, they used to use
leeches to cure ear infections.
They'd shove the
wriggling things into your head
and hope they
could drain the poison.
They used to treat
epilepsy with exorcisms.
And that's what this is?
Some overblown embolism.
It's hard to describe.
How do you embellish the color
red to a man who is colorblind?
Or faith
to a man who has none.
How about we both
try and see if we can't
meet in the middle.
[ELYSE] From the Evil One...
[TEGAN] Jessica.
[distant voices]
[ELYSE] Today is going to be--
[ELYSE] I cast thee out.
[voices]
[ELYSE] At the
hour of my death...
[disembodied voices]
[screaming]
[ELYSE] When did
you sleep with Caleb?
[ELYSE] There she is...
[ELYSE] Jessica Tanner,
Jessica tanner...
[whispered voices]
[TEGAN] Jessica
you need to wake up.
[MONIQUE] Finally.
Thank God you
found your way here.
What?
What's going on?
Well, do you mean here or there?
I don't know. Both?
Well, there you're in
a facility to be cured.
So am I.
Cured of what?
Passion.
And fire.
Of the wolf.
Are you trying to tell me
that they think I'm a werewolf?
You're just brand
new to this, aren't you?
Did you even meet Caleb?
The guy from the photos?
I mean--
Look, you'd remember.
I don't remember anything.
I don't even
know how I got here.
Yeah, the drugs
take a while to wear off.
Fuck.
Look, we don't
have a lot of time.
Okay? They're going to be back
here any minute for my next...
treatment.
How long have you been here?
Long enough.
Listen,
if you're here,
they think you're infected.
And if you didn't get it from
Caleb, it came through someone
who loved you
very much.
The change is a gift of passion.
And so in passion it is passed.
Are you saying that...
I'm going
to turn into a werewolf
because I didn't use protection?
Something like that.
[door unlocks]
Look, they're here.
Listen.
This is a spirit realm.
Okay? We're talking here because
we're of the same bloodline.
It's a shared space so...
Find me here?
When you can.
No, no, please.
Please, please don't leave me!
[laughter echoes]
Oh no, there's
no need to apologize.
I'll be the first to admit.
I don't look like
the punk rocker type.
I didn't say that.
I did not say that.
But!
Right through the chest.
But you... You kind of
got the look down. Do you play?
Nah.
Never really
found the time to learn.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
My parents bought me a guitar
lessons when I was fifteen.
I was sick of playing
'Ode to Joy' on repeat.
So I learned the riff
to 'Smoke On the Water'
Then... I
just used it as a prop for
karaoke in my room.
What?
You don't like karaoke?
No. I love it
a bit too much.
So you focused
on singing instead?
Um, I guess.
I wouldn't exactly
call my screams singing.
But I did hang out with the
garage band for a few months.
But then uni
kicked into gear and Matt
took up a lot of my spare time.
Wasted investment, huh?
Nope. No
such thing.
You loved.
You learned.
And love...
That's a pretty important thing.
[MAN] Oi! Somebody--
[men heckling]
Sorry.
Duty calls.
[MAN] Come on!
Hey, no need to apologize.
It's your job.
And I know what happens
when you break the rules.
Remember?
[THOMAS] Just
make it convincing.
[intense music]
Okay, okay. I'm going.
But when I come
back, you're telling me
how you stop those
cops from writing you up.
Yep.
[rowdy men noises]
[laughter]
Anything else?
I don't know. Maybe
you want a drink too!
[men heckling]
Come on, sweetheart.
We're just playing.
You look like you like
a little bit of play time.
No thanks, pal.
Yeah, same goes for her.
We're just trying
to have a good night!
Fuck or fight. I'm happy.
Get the fuck out now!
Hey, listen...
Did you hear me?
Grab your shit.
You're fucking done.
I'm calling the cops.
Are you alright?
Normally, I'd say you should
see the other guy but you did.
And he's fine.
I need ice.
It's you.
You're the monster
they're all talking about.
How did you infect me?
Did I sleep with you?
[lock clicking]
[suspenseful music]
[music intensifies]
Jessica.
Get in!
[men yelling]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
What?
No, it's fine.
You saved me.
What?
What's going on?
Why are we stopping?
[door creaking]
[footsteps]
Hey there, Jessica.
I brought you some food.
Uh...
[light buzzing]
[water dripping]
I know it's not a much but
that's by intent.
They want to keep you alive
but if you're too strong and
the beast gets stronger and...
it's just harder to fight.
I really am sorry.
I just didn't
think you'd come with me
if I told you the truth.
Was any of it true?
I like to think
our connection was.
Grew up poor.
Started traveling
about as soon as I could.
That was all true.
Bought a crappy car.
Camped in it.
Drove from coast to coast.
Mean guitar
I could barely play and...
A desired to see more
than the
decaying town of my youth.
But as much as I wanted
to be different from my dad.
I started drinking.
And I liked it.
[stammers] And I-- I--
I just--
I just grew so lonely.
And that was
when Father Torquemada found me.
It was in my final days
when I was determined to die.
But I was too
scared to kill myself.
And--
Kidnaping and torture...?
Don't.
That isn't--
I can see
how it would seem that way
from where you're sitting.
If you think about it.
I mean, really think about it.
What would you do...
If you knew
someone was
going to die horribly?
Where would you draw the line?
Hm?
If- if- if you had a
chance to save a loved one,
would you cut off a finger?
Would you do that?
A hand?
What about an arm?
Hm?
I don't know.
You already killed Kate.
Yeah.
Yeah, we did.
Well, I can't deny that.
But if you
accept, even for a second,
what we believe
you are going to see
that we had no choice.
Like, you're sweating.
It's freezing in
here, and you're sweating.
Come on.
Elyse is waiting.
I promise I am
trying to help you.
Please, I can't--
Thank you for drinking that.
It's designed
to make this easier
and not hurt you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.
I got you.
I got you, I got you, I got you.
[suspenseful music]
[MATT] Jess.
Matt!
[MATT] Jess!
Go!
Go! Get
out of here!
[screaming]
[indistinct yelling]
[MATT] Go!
You shouldn't be here!
You shouldn't be here!
[THOMAS] Jessica.
[yelling, struggling]
We have to go.
[indistinct yelling]
Let her go!
[water drips]
[dripping water]
Do you think we have a
chance to save her here?
We don't save her.
God does.
I know. I just--
Do not delude
yourself, Brother Thomas.
You have no power
over what happens here.
All you can do
is show her the door.
How are you
feeling today, Jessica?
I don't know.
I really wish I
could see that fucking door.
So you heard that?
Enhanced hearing
indicates a progression
in the infection.
We're going to try
a different treatment today.
Something a bit more severe.
But remember, Jessica,
these are in the
actions of the flesh.
[cupboard creaks open]
If you truly wish to be saved.
You must unburden yourself.
[scream]
[grunting]
I don't want to hear
any more of your lies!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
Look at what you're doing.
You haven't
eaten properly in days and
you are lifting
her off the ground.
Jessica.
You're killing her.
[gasping]
Yes, Jess, it's true.
It's true.
[coughing]
I don't--
I don't understand how.
[stammers]
How I could-- how I can--
Now you know
we're right about that.
What if we're right
about the other part?
Do you really want
to gamble with your soul?
Oh love, this is good.
It's good.
[THOMAS] It is.
I know it doesn't
feel that way but...
It's good.
Well it's the first step.
And if you work with us...
There's a chance.
Yeah?
There's a chance.
[dripping water]
[muffled panting]
[screaming]
We beg you
through the intercession
and help of the Archangels
Michael, Rafael, and Gabriel,
for the deliverance of
our brothers and sisters,
who are enslaved by
the Evil One. [screaming]
[gasping]
All saints of heaven,
come to our aid.
From anxiety,
sadness,
and obsession,
we beg you.
Free us, O Lord. [screaming]
From hatred, fornication,
and envy,
we beg you.
[screaming]
[screaming] Free us, O Lord.
From every form of
sinful sexuality, we beg you...
Free us, O Lord.
[gasping]
Thomas.
It's time for you
to put your feelings aside.
And do God's work.
[whimpering]
[quiet sobbing]
[JESS] P-please...
Thomas...
Thomas.
Thomas, please.
From every division in our
family... [JESS] Please no,
Thomas, please!
[JESS] No,
I'm begging you, Thomas!
Please don't do this to me!
From every harmful friendship,
No!
Thomas!
I beg you...
[JESS] Please!
No no no no no no no no no.
[screaming]
Free us, O Lord.
And from every spell,
malefic,
witchcraft,
and every form of the occult,
we beg you.
Free us, O Lord. [screaming]
[gasping]
I can't do this.
[screaming]
[door opens]
[THOMAS] Gentle...
There's a step here.
Just watch your...
That's one step.
Another step.
I wish I hadn't have left you.
See, here.
Here.
Try rest on the floor tonight.
Oh, easy!
You've earned a respite.
Now, I know this feeling.
It's the absence of God.
But if you reach out to him,
he'll comfort you.
He will comfort you.
Oh, shhh...
Jessica, it's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Lord.
Look upon Jessica
with eyes of mercy.
May You place on
her a healing hand.
And may You
send Archangel Raphael
to comfort,
cleanse
and purify her.
Bring her back to your side.
And may she service your purpose
and all that reside in the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Amen.
I know this is
impossible for you.
You know I lost someone.
That I cared for
very deeply.
She, uh,
came with me
when I left home.
And it was wrong.
I mean, her parents didn't
care that she was...
And we were so young.
But we drove my car and
we hugged the coastline and...
Hugged each other and
kept each other warm at night.
She used to sing.
So we stop
at the mall and, and--
you know, lay a, lay a--
lay a towel down.
They would throw coins on it.
and sometimes then I'd
be strumming
along with my guitar.
But I think that
made people give us less.
I didn't go with her the
night she went to that club.
It was the first
night of a competition
and I said...
that I wanted to sit in the car
and get high.
And the police,
they were reluctant to tell me
anything at first because, um,
I was a suspect.
Three men followed her
out of the club that night.
And they called it
"a crime of passion".
And then three days later,
her body
washes up on the shore.
Her body
hugged the shoreline.
And I was so broken
when Father Torquemada found me.
But you know what?
He brought me in
and he healed me.
And Jessica.
That's what we can do for you.
But you have to trust us.
Trust me.
Oh, oh, oh. Careful.
You okay?
No, I don't-- I can't.
I can't. Sorry I don't, um--
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
[gasping]
NO!
[screaming]
[panting]
[MONIQUE] Second session.
[MATT] Yeah,
I remember that one.
[MATT] Hey, Jess.
Yep, I'm here too.
I don't, I don't--
I don't understand.
I knew they
were coming for me after
they took Monique.
I tried calling you.
But...
I get it.
I know how it must have looked.
[footsteps]
[bed creaking]
[MATT] Yeah.
Ugh! You
piece of shit!
You did this to me!
Fuck!
I'm sorry.
Don't.
So.
Genuine passion?
That's what you said.
Jess.
So you didn't just cheat on me.
It's so much worse than that.
And what?
You just come back to
me for a night of guilt?
Fuck you.
How dare you come to me ever!
Good.
[panting]
Good.
You're still fighting.
How do you feel now?
Pissed off.
Well, a moment ago
you could barely move.
This passion will heal you.
The changes is near.
We need to get out of here.
They'll kill us soon.
That's not what they said.
Well, you've seen
the pile of bodies.
Jess.
I don't know how
much longer I can do this.
It gets worse.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
Where would you stop
to save a loved one?
A finger?
A hand- Stop.
Jess.
You need to wake
up and get moving.
Why?
Because Thomas didn't
put you in your cell tonight.
He's never done that for me.
Or me.
You could--
Caleb?
[CALEB] It's passion.
What is it?
[CALEB] Good.
I-- I don't- [CALEB] Bad.
[CALEB] Nothing in between.
[CALEB] Sure, it's intense.
[CALEB] But you can guide it.
[CALEB] Control it.
What's going on?
He's making another one.
[eerie music plays]
[kissing]
I want this.
You know what that means.
I want you.
[gun clicks]
[footsteps]
What did you do?
Nothing! Nothing.
Just wait. Stop.
Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
It's-- it's not what you think.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[aggressive grunting]
You okay?
I will be.
See to James.
He shouldn't
have been so strong.
It's not--
The moon is even full--
He was an Alpha.
The rules don't apply.
Move.
[screaming]
[footsteps]
Sit.
Stay.
You want to be a dog so much,
We'll treat you like one.
[door closes]
Hello, Jessica.
Father.
He's waiting for you.
Three decades of
chasing you around the globe.
I always pictured
you as more imposing.
What a disappointment.
We're done here.
Burn the bodies.
Lord God.
Whose days are without end and
whose mercies are beyond
counting.
Keep us mindful
that life is short.
And that the hour
of death is unknown.
Caleb said you've
been talking to the others.
That you got left out tonight.
He said
that given enough trauma,
even a partial moon
can trigger the transformation.
He had high hopes you
three would make it out.
Y-you and he...?
Sort of.
It was.... new.
I should have known better.
So you didn't...?
You're not..?
- No.
No.
He was, um,
he was interesting.
For a man
made purely of passion,
he was controlled.
Then how am I here?
Controlled doesn't mean good.
He was flawed.
Driven by his worst impulses.
He was complicated.
You, Matt, Monique, Tegan.
Charlotte.
Brad.
Distractions.
Collateral damage.
Collateral damage.
My entire life.
He saw it as a gift.
You had a fighting chance
to make it to your first moon.
And if you didn't?
You bought him time.
That's pretty
fucking cold blooded.
Well, passion.
Extremes.
Call it what you want.
[footsteps]
You better hide.
[door opens]
Hello, Dad.
What have you done?
You asked me to find him.
I asked you to watch him.
I told you he was corruptive.
He didn't corrupt anything.
Did you ever
even speak to the man?
That thing
is not a man.
Why?
Why what?
Why did I question you?
Why did I speak with him?
Why did I bother to look close
and see the
good and the compassion
and the love in someone that
you've dedicated
your life to hunting?
Ah.
Why did I disobey you?
Because you are wrong.
Holy water didn't burn his skin
any more than it does yours.
He was not evil.
He was a man of passion.
And you attacked,
attacked and attacked.
No matter how far he ran.
We are the monsters, Father.
We create them.
It's not the other way around.
He's...
He's taken so much from me.
What?
Dad?
What irreplaceable thing?
could he have taken so
as to justify all this rage?
My only son.
[gunshot]
[gasping]
[laboured breathing]
[groaning]
[gasping]
Father.
Father what happened--
Where are the cursed ones?
Monique and
Jessica are in their rooms
and Matthew is in a treatment.
Move.
[panting]
[groaning]
Okay.
You all right?
[coughs]
Hey.
How long
do you expect me
to keep doing this?
It's okay.
Just save your strength.
[grunting]
Why?
So I can die on my feet?
I don't want you to die at all.
But we have to get
this thing out of you.
Have you ever?
You've been doing this a while.
Yeah, years.
After all this time,
how many bodies?
How many of us victims?
Have you actually saved?
[grunts]
One.
Out of?
A lot.
Because whenever we get close,
this monster
infects more people.
And he throws
them out into the world.
It's people like you.
He uses innocent
people as a smokescreen.
And then we spend our
time cleaning up his mess
instead of finding him.
We are trying to save you.
Try saving yourself.
Brother.
The punishment for sin
is death.
So they say.
Has he repented?
I don't think it's--
Has this monster prostrated
himself on the altar of
the Lord?
Father, it
has been a long session--
[yelling]
Is this what you
wanted you piece of shit?
Huh?
You want your pound of flesh?
Take it.
Take it then!
This is the rage you think
doesn't make you a monster!
It's the passion you believe--
[Jess gasps]
I guess it's just
the two of you now.
[Torquemada yelling]
You take what you
want when you want!
I'm so sorry.
[TORQUEMADA] You
destroy lives so casually!
Ask God to judge you himself!
[screams]
The other two.
Give them one last session.
One last chance
to know God's mercy.
If they don't.
I'll put the
mongrels down myself.
We-- we do still have to--
GO!
[panting]
[footsteps]
Jessica?
[JESSICA] Hi.
[THOMAS] You
don't need to be in the--
I felt wrong outside.
Scared I wasn't in control.
Jessica.
You and I are about
to go through something.
I need to treat you.
I know it's
complicated between us but...
I need to do it.
And I need to do it now.
And I need you to
give yourself to God.
Wholeheartedly.
I understand.
[grunting]
[intense music]
[struggling]
[gasping]
[Jess screams]
[groaning]
Blessed are you
Lord, all powerful God,
Who in Christ,
the living water of salvation,
blessed and transformed us.
Grant that when we are
sprinkled with this water
and make use of it,
we will be refreshed inwardly
by the power of the Holy Spirit
and continue to walk
the new life we
received in baptism.
We ask this
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
[choking]
[struggling]
No please!
Please!
No, no, no.
You're asking for
help in the wrong places.
No no no no, please.
NO!
Come.
Let's go. Come.
I see you!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
[THOMAS] Jessica! Wait!
[THOMAS] Just wait, Jessica!
[grunting]
[THOMAS] You cannot break!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
[gunshot]
I don't want to do this!
Do not make me do this.
Jessica...
Please.
You and I, we
can work through this.
Okay?
I am trying to help you.
Work through this?
You mean endure torture to that
psychopath--
He is not a psychopath!
He is a good man.
I saw him beat Matt to death.
This is...
What we're doing
here is complicated.
He killed his own son.
What?
What?
I saw him.
He-- He shot him in his office.
No.
No.
You're a liar.
He would never do that!
Scott.
Scott had been
with Caleb
before he died- No.
You're lying.
Father Torquemada
couldn't accept it but...
Thomas. Thomas,
I'm begging you.
This has got out of control.
You couldn't save her.
But you could save us.
Okay, I need you to stop.
Hey.
God dammit,
I said stop!
[gunshot]
[whimpering]
Jess. You
need to move.
No.
No more running.
[gunshot]
[SCOTT] Given enough trauma...
Even a partial moon can
trigger the transformation...
[Thomas yells]
[sobbing] What did I do...
I killed her.
[Thomas sobbing]
[grunting, growling]
[sobbing]
[distorted screams]
Oh God, forgive me... [sobbing]
[gun cocks]
[MARCUS] Brother Thomas.
[THOMAS] What
did you make me do?
It's okay.
It's me.
I killed her...
Them?
Monique.
Brother Thomas, please.
Where is Jessica?
- She...
[screaming]
We've got to get back inside.
[wolf growling]
[animal sounds]

Thomas, we need to--
No, no.
Damn you to Hell, Thomas!
[growling, gasping]
[Torquemada yells]
[growling]
[roaring]
[bones cracking]
[unnatural roaring]
[spine crunching]
[shirt ripping]
This is Father Torquemada
of The Order of the Waning Moon
We are compromised.
I repeat, we are compromised.
[thudding]
[monster roaring]
[ferocious roaring]
I knew you were lost.
Your failing was
always your morality.
You thought it was enough
to stay in the passenger seat
on the way to Hell.
Blaming others. [growling]
Never taking
control of your choices.
People like you make me sick--
[screaming]
There are more
people like me coming.
My Brothers in other cities.
In other countries.
You are never gonna be safe.
There's some actions
which others may consider a sin.
But perhaps the
Father will look kindly on me
for taking my son
before he could be turned.
And that God
will forgive my trespasses
for denying you one last meal.
[bone snapping] [screaming]
[screaming]
[growling]
[screaming]

[JAMES] Brother Thomas!
Brother Thomas!
[growling]
[screaming]
[roaring]
Oh my God!
[sobbing] Oh my God...
[growling]
Please.
I don't--
Please.
Please don't kill me.
[shrieking, crunching]
Don't kill you?
Like you didn't kill Monique?
Or Matt.
Or Kate.
Or Tegan or Alex.
Or any of the
other countless others
that I saw on
that pile of bodies.
[THOMAS] I'm sorry...
But Jessica,
look at yourself.
You are covered in blood.
How many people
have you killed already?
You left me no other choice.
You chose to come back inside.
You wanted revenge.
You could have run.
And ended up like Caleb?
Hunted by you
and yours for decades!
That's just it.
How long before you
become just like him?
He didn't think
he was a bad person.
He didn't think he was hurting
people. These are people just
like you.
I am so sorry about
what happened to you.
I had hoped I could save you.
Stop! I--
You disgust me.
You told me I was a monster.
Monique told me I
was gifted with passion.
None of you know shit!
You don't know how this feels.
I know that God--
[whimpering]
This new life.
It's intoxicating.
You wouldn't believe
the colors I can see in.
The smells
I can see in.
I can trace the
line of your pheromones.
I can walk
through your memories.
I can see that girl
you won't shut up about.
I can see you getting high.
Now tell me.
Did you ever see her body?
Read that police report?
Or did Torquemada kill her
and tell you what happened?
N--no, no.
You poor little follower boy.
You believed him.
Or am I just
fucking with you now?
I can see you.
Your fear.
Your lust. It all
has a specific scent.
And if I wanted to,
I could find you anywhere.
And I will.
If you come for me
I will find you
and I will consume you.
Yeah, you see?
How easy that threat came!
How long before you
start infecting people?
How long before you
become worse than him?
Jessica?
You have to be stopped.
Don't follow me.
[sobbing]
[lightbulbs buzzing]
[insects buzzing]
[thunder]
[TRISTAN] My God.
I hate catching busses at night.
There's never enough light.
Dostoevsky
Going for some heavy reading?
It's a passion.
It's a dry, dusty passion.
But, uh,
you don't get to choose right?
No.
No, you don't.

[ELYSE] From the Evil One.
[ELYSE] Deliver me.
[ELYSE] Deliver me.
[ELYSE] At the hour of my death
At the hour of my death.
Call me and bid me
come to Thee.
Call me and bid me
come to Thee.
[ELYSE] And with Thy Saints.
And with Thy Saints.
[ELYSE] Let me praise
Thee forever and ever...
Let me praise
Thee for ever and ever.
[TEGAN] Jessica!
You need to wake up.
Jessica.
[footsteps]
You don't even have the decency
to be ashamed of yourself.
I didn't mean to.
Great. Yeah,
that totally un-fucks her.
You don't have much time.
Fight them!
[ELYSE] The Lord is with thee.
May the embers of your soul
escape this wickedness
and find shelter in His arms.
[wheels rolling]
[ELYSE] Just three more days
and we can burn these corpses.
[THOMAS] Good.
I don't...
I don't take
pleasure in any of this.
[ELYSE] It is a
trial, to be sure.
[THOMAS] How many more...
until we find the
beast that did this?
[ELYSE] Two.
That we know of.
[ELYSE] We're close.
[THOMAS] Hm.
[music intensifies]
Come on.
Please.
[metal clanging]
Good.
You're awake.
Come on.
Come with me.
Come on.
Move.
Sit.
[papers rustling]
I was worried you
were going to be a talker.
We get a lot of talkers.
Name?
Take a look around.
Then look down at your wrists
and ask yourself.
Do I really
want to start this off
by being a petulant brat?
Hm?
Name.
J-J-- [coughs]
Jess.
Jessica Marie Tanner.
Jess.
Age?
Twenty-two.
Faith?
Sorry?
What religion do you follow?
None. Uh...
I don't know.
Agnostic?
Number of sexual partners?
What?
Uh, none, uh...
At the moment.
Bit of a...
Bit of a dry patch.
Number of sexual partners?
Three.
Do you know this man?
Have you slept with him?
What? I--I--
I don't--
I don't know this man--
When did you sleep with him?
You have me
confused with someone else.
When did you sleep with Caleb?
Look!
Look.
I don't know this man.
I haven't slept with anyone.
And...
I don't know where I am
or where here is. Please.
I promise if you just...
If you let me go, I-- I won't--
I won't tell anyone.
Don't know why
you insist on lying.
I'm trying to save you.
[grunting]
[choking]
[TORQUEMADA]
That's quite enough.
I know what you're feeling.
I understand how
confusing this must all
be for you.
In one of my early
placements within the church
I interned for an excorcist.
Father Mengucci.
He was old by
the time I came through
Well into his 80s.
He seemed
one step above a mad man
gibbering in the subway.
Appearances are deceptive.
And he could see things like
no man I've ever known.
We came to save Daniela,
a young girl
not unlike yourself.
Drug sick.
Homeless.
Broken.
I saw a typically lost soul.
But Father Mengucci
saw the true cause.
That is...
Until the beast
inside her ripped his throat
from his body.
I couldn't save that girl.
My lack of faith failed her.
And him.
But since then,
I have studied diligently.
And I can see things now well
beyond what Father Mengucci
could only dream of.
So believe me
when I tell you
that time is short.
And you are sick.
You can feel it.
And in three
days that sickness will
burn you up.
And if that time comes.
I will do for you what I should
have done for Daniela all those
years ago.
I will put you down
like the dog you've become.
No-- no!
No!
[screaming]
[screaming]
Now she knows the stakes.
Now she has the
option to comply. [screaming]
They'll never take it.
But we have to
give them the choice.
[gasping]
Please continue.
[gasping]
Do you renounce the world,
the flesh and the Devil?
Do you renounce
the world,
the flesh and the Devil?
Yes! Yes
anything. Please!
Again!
[gasping, coughing]
There she is.
[panting]
Hello, little wolf.
[coughing]
Take her back to her cell.
I'll run deeper checks
on everyone she's been with
to confirm it's a
first-case contact.
God be with you, Brother Marcus.
[panting]
[door opens]
No no no no no no no no no no.
Please! Please.
I'll do anything I--
I slept with him.
Is that what you want to hear?
I don't know who the fuck he is.
I've never
met him before, but if--
If you want me to tell you that
I fucked him then I fucked him!
Please!
[cage door slams]
What are you doing?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Please!
Please don't do this. Please...
You piece of shit!
I'll fucking kill you!
Do you hear me?
[shrieking]
You piece of shit!
[gasping]
[shower running]
Kate?
Is that you?
[wincing]
[camera clicks]
[distant whispers]
[whispering voices]
[THOMAS] Cheeky.
[THOMAS] Is it
always so nice in here?
What? I--
I know you.
Oh?
No, no.
I'm just passing through.
Just in town for a few days.
[ABEL] Come on, Legs.
People are dying of thirst.
[JESS] Right, um.
Uh. Sorry, Abel I--
[ABEL] Sort it out.
I'm off.
Wow.
[THOMAS] Well?
Sorry. What
were you saying?
Is it always this nice in here?
[men cheering]
Yeah, nah.
Some nights this
place is full of assholes.
[phone pings]
Oh my God.
[footsteps]
[door opens]
Hello again.
Did you enjoy looking through
those photos on your phone?
We did.
We find that it...
helps to
have reminders in
the outside in here.
[lock clicks]
Don't worry.
There's no reception.
Get up.
Get up.
[light buzzing]
Don't worry.
We won't be interrupted today.
Good, good. I'm...
glad it's just us.
After yesterday...
I don't know if I
could go through that again...
I'm sorry.
Today is going to be
much,
much worse.
You see,
we need to get
this thing out of you.
And I can't
stop until it's gone.
Jesus Christ.
[gasping]
Don't you ever
take His name in vain again.
We're trying to save you.
You ungrateful mutt.
I'm sorry.
I don't need your apology.
Save that for God.
What I need
is your patience today.
I'm going to
open up your connection
to the beast.
To this...
demon of passion.
And that means enraging it.
And that means enraging you.
You.
Jessica Marie Tanner.
Twenty-two, currently homeless
and staying on the couch of
your friend
Catherine Josie Scott,
also twenty-two
who went to high school with.
Recently broke up with
Matthew Alexander Roberts,
who you've been
living with in sin...
for the past three years.
How long have
you been following me?
Long enough.
What?
You know me now?
You stalked me
for a couple of days and
now you've judged me of
being "of the beast"?
Do you want me to tell you what
I've done like this is a
confessional?
Nothing.
Fucking nothing.
I've smoked some weed.
Popped some pills
at a rave one time.
Didn't like it.
Slept with three boys.
One of whom didn't even
get it in enough to count.
My parents moved out west
and I haven't seen them since.
I work at a bar.
I get up, go to work, come
home exhausted, and go to sleep.
The only people that I've seen
in the past month has been Kate,
Kate's boyfriend,
and then the people that I--
see at--
And the--
You can feel it
burning can't you?
And you're seeing it now?
As this corruption
gets closer to burning you out
you're going to start to
see things
and remember things
that aren't your memories.
Where's Kate?
You know the
answer to that question.
What did you do to her?
You tell me.
Go on, pup.
Get a good whiff of her scent.
[inhales]
[grunting]
[panting]
[KATE] Well,
my dad hates you so...
[ALEX] Fuck,
well I don't like him either.
[knocking]
NO!
[ELYSE] Go go go go go go.
Fu--
[screaming]
[grunting]
[squealing]
Where's Kate?
[whimpering]
[soft crying]
[Jess gasping]
[sobbing]
We kept them alive
for as long as we could.
We questioned them
and when we were sure we had
everything, we checked them for
evil spirits.
The boy
struggled with the tests.
[grunting]
He was so weak.
The girl...
She lied to me.
A lot.
We had to treat her
as if she was infected.
[sobbing]
If the beast had been
in her body as it is in yours
she would have survived
and we could have purified her.
Thankfully,
she wasn't infected and
we were able to
give her her last rites.
Her soul is with the Father now.
[Jess sobbing]
We have just two days
now before the first moon.
Anyone harboring an
infection at that point
will burn from the inside out.
The beast
will consume your soul,
and your body will become
nothing more than a
plaything for the Devil himself.
If we're going to save you,
I'll need to be quick.
Decisive.
And pay no
attention to your screams.
You see, this illness has been
around for a very long time,
and we have
developed a number of solutions.
But the old ways
are still the best.
What... what--
It's wolfsbane.
Hush.
Hush, hush.
Hush.
Jessica Tanner,
Jessica Tanner, Jessica Tanner.
Thrice named and bound.
I bring the Lord unto thee.
[screaming]
[gasping]
I cast thee out!
[footsteps]
[MONIQUE] Hush, sister.
(hush sister)
I know how this feels.
(this feels)
[eerie music]
[distant whispering]
[Jess grunting]
Fuck!
Come on.
Fuck.
[screaming]
[suspenseful music]
[BOUNCER] Heh?
Uh...
I'm here to see Caleb.
Here.
It's everything we have on you.
It's comprehensive.
Alright, look.
I started working for
my father about a year ago.
And in that
time, we have dogged to you
from Kolokotroni Square,
across half of Asia.
I'm starting to
lose count of the people
that we've...
Killed?
It's not like that.
We were trying to save them.
I just I--
I want it to stop.
You know, they used to use
leeches to cure ear infections.
They'd shove the
wriggling things into your head
and hope they
could drain the poison.
They used to treat
epilepsy with exorcisms.
And that's what this is?
Some overblown embolism.
It's hard to describe.
How do you embellish the color
red to a man who is colorblind?
Or faith
to a man who has none.
How about we both
try and see if we can't
meet in the middle.
[ELYSE] From the Evil One...
[TEGAN] Jessica.
[distant voices]
[ELYSE] Today is going to be--
[ELYSE] I cast thee out.
[voices]
[ELYSE] At the
hour of my death...
[disembodied voices]
[screaming]
[ELYSE] When did
you sleep with Caleb?
[ELYSE] There she is...
[ELYSE] Jessica Tanner,
Jessica tanner...
[whispered voices]
[TEGAN] Jessica
you need to wake up.
[MONIQUE] Finally.
Thank God you
found your way here.
What?
What's going on?
Well, do you mean here or there?
I don't know. Both?
Well, there you're in
a facility to be cured.
So am I.
Cured of what?
Passion.
And fire.
Of the wolf.
Are you trying to tell me
that they think I'm a werewolf?
You're just brand
new to this, aren't you?
Did you even meet Caleb?
The guy from the photos?
I mean--
Look, you'd remember.
I don't remember anything.
I don't even
know how I got here.
Yeah, the drugs
take a while to wear off.
Fuck.
Look, we don't
have a lot of time.
Okay? They're going to be back
here any minute for my next...
treatment.
How long have you been here?
Long enough.
Listen,
if you're here,
they think you're infected.
And if you didn't get it from
Caleb, it came through someone
who loved you
very much.
The change is a gift of passion.
And so in passion it is passed.
Are you saying that...
I'm going
to turn into a werewolf
because I didn't use protection?
Something like that.
[door unlocks]
Look, they're here.
Listen.
This is a spirit realm.
Okay? We're talking here because
we're of the same bloodline.
It's a shared space so...
Find me here?
When you can.
No, no, please.
Please, please don't leave me!
[laughter echoes]
Oh no, there's
no need to apologize.
I'll be the first to admit.
I don't look like
the punk rocker type.
I didn't say that.
I did not say that.
But!
Right through the chest.
But you... You kind of
got the look down. Do you play?
Nah.
Never really
found the time to learn.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
My parents bought me a guitar
lessons when I was fifteen.
I was sick of playing
'Ode to Joy' on repeat.
So I learned the riff
to 'Smoke On the Water'
Then... I
just used it as a prop for
karaoke in my room.
What?
You don't like karaoke?
No. I love it
a bit too much.
So you focused
on singing instead?
Um, I guess.
I wouldn't exactly
call my screams singing.
But I did hang out with the
garage band for a few months.
But then uni
kicked into gear and Matt
took up a lot of my spare time.
Wasted investment, huh?
Nope. No
such thing.
You loved.
You learned.
And love...
That's a pretty important thing.
[MAN] Oi! Somebody--
[men heckling]
Sorry.
Duty calls.
[MAN] Come on!
Hey, no need to apologize.
It's your job.
And I know what happens
when you break the rules.
Remember?
[THOMAS] Just
make it convincing.
[intense music]
Okay, okay. I'm going.
But when I come
back, you're telling me
how you stop those
cops from writing you up.
Yep.
[rowdy men noises]
[laughter]
Anything else?
I don't know. Maybe
you want a drink too!
[men heckling]
Come on, sweetheart.
We're just playing.
You look like you like
a little bit of play time.
No thanks, pal.
Yeah, same goes for her.
We're just trying
to have a good night!
Fuck or fight. I'm happy.
Get the fuck out now!
Hey, listen...
Did you hear me?
Grab your shit.
You're fucking done.
I'm calling the cops.
Are you alright?
Normally, I'd say you should
see the other guy but you did.
And he's fine.
I need ice.
It's you.
You're the monster
they're all talking about.
How did you infect me?
Did I sleep with you?
[lock clicking]
[suspenseful music]
[music intensifies]
Jessica.
Get in!
[men yelling]
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
What?
No, it's fine.
You saved me.
What?
What's going on?
Why are we stopping?
[door creaking]
[footsteps]
Hey there, Jessica.
I brought you some food.
Uh...
[light buzzing]
[water dripping]
I know it's not a much but
that's by intent.
They want to keep you alive
but if you're too strong and
the beast gets stronger and...
it's just harder to fight.
I really am sorry.
I just didn't
think you'd come with me
if I told you the truth.
Was any of it true?
I like to think
our connection was.
Grew up poor.
Started traveling
about as soon as I could.
That was all true.
Bought a crappy car.
Camped in it.
Drove from coast to coast.
Mean guitar
I could barely play and...
A desired to see more
than the
decaying town of my youth.
But as much as I wanted
to be different from my dad.
I started drinking.
And I liked it.
[stammers] And I-- I--
I just--
I just grew so lonely.
And that was
when Father Torquemada found me.
It was in my final days
when I was determined to die.
But I was too
scared to kill myself.
And--
Kidnaping and torture...?
Don't.
That isn't--
I can see
how it would seem that way
from where you're sitting.
If you think about it.
I mean, really think about it.
What would you do...
If you knew
someone was
going to die horribly?
Where would you draw the line?
Hm?
If- if- if you had a
chance to save a loved one,
would you cut off a finger?
Would you do that?
A hand?
What about an arm?
Hm?
I don't know.
You already killed Kate.
Yeah.
Yeah, we did.
Well, I can't deny that.
But if you
accept, even for a second,
what we believe
you are going to see
that we had no choice.
Like, you're sweating.
It's freezing in
here, and you're sweating.
Come on.
Elyse is waiting.
I promise I am
trying to help you.
Please, I can't--
Thank you for drinking that.
It's designed
to make this easier
and not hurt you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.
I got you.
I got you, I got you, I got you.
[suspenseful music]
[MATT] Jess.
Matt!
[MATT] Jess!
Go!
Go! Get
out of here!
[screaming]
[indistinct yelling]
[MATT] Go!
You shouldn't be here!
You shouldn't be here!
[THOMAS] Jessica.
[yelling, struggling]
We have to go.
[indistinct yelling]
Let her go!
[water drips]
[dripping water]
Do you think we have a
chance to save her here?
We don't save her.
God does.
I know. I just--
Do not delude
yourself, Brother Thomas.
You have no power
over what happens here.
All you can do
is show her the door.
How are you
feeling today, Jessica?
I don't know.
I really wish I
could see that fucking door.
So you heard that?
Enhanced hearing
indicates a progression
in the infection.
We're going to try
a different treatment today.
Something a bit more severe.
But remember, Jessica,
these are in the
actions of the flesh.
[cupboard creaks open]
If you truly wish to be saved.
You must unburden yourself.
[scream]
[grunting]
I don't want to hear
any more of your lies!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
Look at what you're doing.
You haven't
eaten properly in days and
you are lifting
her off the ground.
Jessica.
You're killing her.
[gasping]
Yes, Jess, it's true.
It's true.
[coughing]
I don't--
I don't understand how.
[stammers]
How I could-- how I can--
Now you know
we're right about that.
What if we're right
about the other part?
Do you really want
to gamble with your soul?
Oh love, this is good.
It's good.
[THOMAS] It is.
I know it doesn't
feel that way but...
It's good.
Well it's the first step.
And if you work with us...
There's a chance.
Yeah?
There's a chance.
[dripping water]
[muffled panting]
[screaming]
We beg you
through the intercession
and help of the Archangels
Michael, Rafael, and Gabriel,
for the deliverance of
our brothers and sisters,
who are enslaved by
the Evil One. [screaming]
[gasping]
All saints of heaven,
come to our aid.
From anxiety,
sadness,
and obsession,
we beg you.
Free us, O Lord. [screaming]
From hatred, fornication,
and envy,
we beg you.
[screaming]
[screaming] Free us, O Lord.
From every form of
sinful sexuality, we beg you...
Free us, O Lord.
[gasping]
Thomas.
It's time for you
to put your feelings aside.
And do God's work.
[whimpering]
[quiet sobbing]
[JESS] P-please...
Thomas...
Thomas.
Thomas, please.
From every division in our
family... [JESS] Please no,
Thomas, please!
[JESS] No,
I'm begging you, Thomas!
Please don't do this to me!
From every harmful friendship,
No!
Thomas!
I beg you...
[JESS] Please!
No no no no no no no no no.
[screaming]
Free us, O Lord.
And from every spell,
malefic,
witchcraft,
and every form of the occult,
we beg you.
Free us, O Lord. [screaming]
[gasping]
I can't do this.
[screaming]
[door opens]
[THOMAS] Gentle...
There's a step here.
Just watch your...
That's one step.
Another step.
I wish I hadn't have left you.
See, here.
Here.
Try rest on the floor tonight.
Oh, easy!
You've earned a respite.
Now, I know this feeling.
It's the absence of God.
But if you reach out to him,
he'll comfort you.
He will comfort you.
Oh, shhh...
Jessica, it's all right.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Lord.
Look upon Jessica
with eyes of mercy.
May You place on
her a healing hand.
And may You
send Archangel Raphael
to comfort,
cleanse
and purify her.
Bring her back to your side.
And may she service your purpose
and all that reside in the
Kingdom of Heaven.
Amen.
I know this is
impossible for you.
You know I lost someone.
That I cared for
very deeply.
She, uh,
came with me
when I left home.
And it was wrong.
I mean, her parents didn't
care that she was...
And we were so young.
But we drove my car and
we hugged the coastline and...
Hugged each other and
kept each other warm at night.
She used to sing.
So we stop
at the mall and, and--
you know, lay a, lay a--
lay a towel down.
They would throw coins on it.
and sometimes then I'd
be strumming
along with my guitar.
But I think that
made people give us less.
I didn't go with her the
night she went to that club.
It was the first
night of a competition
and I said...
that I wanted to sit in the car
and get high.
And the police,
they were reluctant to tell me
anything at first because, um,
I was a suspect.
Three men followed her
out of the club that night.
And they called it
"a crime of passion".
And then three days later,
her body
washes up on the shore.
Her body
hugged the shoreline.
And I was so broken
when Father Torquemada found me.
But you know what?
He brought me in
and he healed me.
And Jessica.
That's what we can do for you.
But you have to trust us.
Trust me.
Oh, oh, oh. Careful.
You okay?
No, I don't-- I can't.
I can't. Sorry I don't, um--
I'm sorry, I can't do this.
[gasping]
NO!
[screaming]
[panting]
[MONIQUE] Second session.
[MATT] Yeah,
I remember that one.
[MATT] Hey, Jess.
Yep, I'm here too.
I don't, I don't--
I don't understand.
I knew they
were coming for me after
they took Monique.
I tried calling you.
But...
I get it.
I know how it must have looked.
[footsteps]
[bed creaking]
[MATT] Yeah.
Ugh! You
piece of shit!
You did this to me!
Fuck!
I'm sorry.
Don't.
So.
Genuine passion?
That's what you said.
Jess.
So you didn't just cheat on me.
It's so much worse than that.
And what?
You just come back to
me for a night of guilt?
Fuck you.
How dare you come to me ever!
Good.
[panting]
Good.
You're still fighting.
How do you feel now?
Pissed off.
Well, a moment ago
you could barely move.
This passion will heal you.
The changes is near.
We need to get out of here.
They'll kill us soon.
That's not what they said.
Well, you've seen
the pile of bodies.
Jess.
I don't know how
much longer I can do this.
It gets worse.
What the fuck
are you talking about?
Where would you stop
to save a loved one?
A finger?
A hand- Stop.
Jess.
You need to wake
up and get moving.
Why?
Because Thomas didn't
put you in your cell tonight.
He's never done that for me.
Or me.
You could--
Caleb?
[CALEB] It's passion.
What is it?
[CALEB] Good.
I-- I don't- [CALEB] Bad.
[CALEB] Nothing in between.
[CALEB] Sure, it's intense.
[CALEB] But you can guide it.
[CALEB] Control it.
What's going on?
He's making another one.
[eerie music plays]
[kissing]
I want this.
You know what that means.
I want you.
[gun clicks]
[footsteps]
What did you do?
Nothing! Nothing.
Just wait. Stop.
Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
It's-- it's not what you think.
[grunting]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[aggressive grunting]
You okay?
I will be.
See to James.
He shouldn't
have been so strong.
It's not--
The moon is even full--
He was an Alpha.
The rules don't apply.
Move.
[screaming]
[footsteps]
Sit.
Stay.
You want to be a dog so much,
We'll treat you like one.
[door closes]
Hello, Jessica.
Father.
He's waiting for you.
Three decades of
chasing you around the globe.
I always pictured
you as more imposing.
What a disappointment.
We're done here.
Burn the bodies.
Lord God.
Whose days are without end and
whose mercies are beyond
counting.
Keep us mindful
that life is short.
And that the hour
of death is unknown.
Caleb said you've
been talking to the others.
That you got left out tonight.
He said
that given enough trauma,
even a partial moon
can trigger the transformation.
He had high hopes you
three would make it out.
Y-you and he...?
Sort of.
It was.... new.
I should have known better.
So you didn't...?
You're not..?
- No.
No.
He was, um,
he was interesting.
For a man
made purely of passion,
he was controlled.
Then how am I here?
Controlled doesn't mean good.
He was flawed.
Driven by his worst impulses.
He was complicated.
You, Matt, Monique, Tegan.
Charlotte.
Brad.
Distractions.
Collateral damage.
Collateral damage.
My entire life.
He saw it as a gift.
You had a fighting chance
to make it to your first moon.
And if you didn't?
You bought him time.
That's pretty
fucking cold blooded.
Well, passion.
Extremes.
Call it what you want.
[footsteps]
You better hide.
[door opens]
Hello, Dad.
What have you done?
You asked me to find him.
I asked you to watch him.
I told you he was corruptive.
He didn't corrupt anything.
Did you ever
even speak to the man?
That thing
is not a man.
Why?
Why what?
Why did I question you?
Why did I speak with him?
Why did I bother to look close
and see the
good and the compassion
and the love in someone that
you've dedicated
your life to hunting?
Ah.
Why did I disobey you?
Because you are wrong.
Holy water didn't burn his skin
any more than it does yours.
He was not evil.
He was a man of passion.
And you attacked,
attacked and attacked.
No matter how far he ran.
We are the monsters, Father.
We create them.
It's not the other way around.
He's...
He's taken so much from me.
What?
Dad?
What irreplaceable thing?
could he have taken so
as to justify all this rage?
My only son.
[gunshot]
[gasping]
[laboured breathing]
[groaning]
[gasping]
Father.
Father what happened--
Where are the cursed ones?
Monique and
Jessica are in their rooms
and Matthew is in a treatment.
Move.
[panting]
[groaning]
Okay.
You all right?
[coughs]
Hey.
How long
do you expect me
to keep doing this?
It's okay.
Just save your strength.
[grunting]
Why?
So I can die on my feet?
I don't want you to die at all.
But we have to get
this thing out of you.
Have you ever?
You've been doing this a while.
Yeah, years.
After all this time,
how many bodies?
How many of us victims?
Have you actually saved?
[grunts]
One.
Out of?
A lot.
Because whenever we get close,
this monster
infects more people.
And he throws
them out into the world.
It's people like you.
He uses innocent
people as a smokescreen.
And then we spend our
time cleaning up his mess
instead of finding him.
We are trying to save you.
Try saving yourself.
Brother.
The punishment for sin
is death.
So they say.
Has he repented?
I don't think it's--
Has this monster prostrated
himself on the altar of
the Lord?
Father, it
has been a long session--
[yelling]
Is this what you
wanted you piece of shit?
Huh?
You want your pound of flesh?
Take it.
Take it then!
This is the rage you think
doesn't make you a monster!
It's the passion you believe--
[Jess gasps]
I guess it's just
the two of you now.
[Torquemada yelling]
You take what you
want when you want!
I'm so sorry.
[TORQUEMADA] You
destroy lives so casually!
Ask God to judge you himself!
[screams]
The other two.
Give them one last session.
One last chance
to know God's mercy.
If they don't.
I'll put the
mongrels down myself.
We-- we do still have to--
GO!
[panting]
[footsteps]
Jessica?
[JESSICA] Hi.
[THOMAS] You
don't need to be in the--
I felt wrong outside.
Scared I wasn't in control.
Jessica.
You and I are about
to go through something.
I need to treat you.
I know it's
complicated between us but...
I need to do it.
And I need to do it now.
And I need you to
give yourself to God.
Wholeheartedly.
I understand.
[grunting]
[intense music]
[struggling]
[gasping]
[Jess screams]
[groaning]
Blessed are you
Lord, all powerful God,
Who in Christ,
the living water of salvation,
blessed and transformed us.
Grant that when we are
sprinkled with this water
and make use of it,
we will be refreshed inwardly
by the power of the Holy Spirit
and continue to walk
the new life we
received in baptism.
We ask this
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
[choking]
[struggling]
No please!
Please!
No, no, no.
You're asking for
help in the wrong places.
No no no no, please.
NO!
Come.
Let's go. Come.
I see you!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
[THOMAS] Jessica! Wait!
[THOMAS] Just wait, Jessica!
[grunting]
[THOMAS] You cannot break!
[THOMAS] Jessica!
[gunshot]
I don't want to do this!
Do not make me do this.
Jessica...
Please.
You and I, we
can work through this.
Okay?
I am trying to help you.
Work through this?
You mean endure torture to that
psychopath--
He is not a psychopath!
He is a good man.
I saw him beat Matt to death.
This is...
What we're doing
here is complicated.
He killed his own son.
What?
What?
I saw him.
He-- He shot him in his office.
No.
No.
You're a liar.
He would never do that!
Scott.
Scott had been
with Caleb
before he died- No.
You're lying.
Father Torquemada
couldn't accept it but...
Thomas. Thomas,
I'm begging you.
This has got out of control.
You couldn't save her.
But you could save us.
Okay, I need you to stop.
Hey.
God dammit,
I said stop!
[gunshot]
[whimpering]
Jess. You
need to move.
No.
No more running.
[gunshot]
[SCOTT] Given enough trauma...
Even a partial moon can
trigger the transformation...
[Thomas yells]
[sobbing] What did I do...
I killed her.
[Thomas sobbing]
[grunting, growling]
[sobbing]
[distorted screams]
Oh God, forgive me... [sobbing]
[gun cocks]
[MARCUS] Brother Thomas.
[THOMAS] What
did you make me do?
It's okay.
It's me.
I killed her...
Them?
Monique.
Brother Thomas, please.
Where is Jessica?
- She...
[screaming]
We've got to get back inside.

This is Father Torquemada
of The Order of the Waning Moon
We are compromised.
I repeat, we are compromised.
[thudding]
[monster roaring]
[ferocious roaring]
I knew you were lost.
Your failing was
always your morality.
You thought it was enough
to stay in the passenger seat
on the way to Hell.
Blaming others. [growling]
Never taking
control of your choices.
People like you make me sick--
[screaming]
There are more
people like me coming.
My Brothers in other cities.
In other countries.
You are never gonna be safe.
There's some actions
which others may consider a sin.
But perhaps the
Father will look kindly on me
for taking my son
before he could be turned.
And that God
will forgive my trespasses
for denying you one last meal.
[bone snapping] [screaming]
[screaming]
[growling]
[screaming]

[JAMES] Brother Thomas!
Brother Thomas!
[growling]
[screaming]
[roaring]
Oh my God!
[sobbing] Oh my God...
[growling]
Please.
I don't--
Please.
Please don't kill me.
[shrieking, crunching]
Don't kill you?
Like you didn't kill Monique?
Or Matt.
Or Kate.
Or Tegan or Alex.
Or any of the
other countless others
that I saw on
that pile of bodies.
[THOMAS] I'm sorry...
But Jessica,
look at yourself.
You are covered in blood.
How many people
have you killed already?
You left me no other choice.
You chose to come back inside.
You wanted revenge.
You could have run.
And ended up like Caleb?
Hunted by you
and yours for decades!
That's just it.
How long before you
become just like him?
He didn't think
he was a bad person.
He didn't think he was hurting
people. These are people just
like you.
I am so sorry about
what happened to you.
I had hoped I could save you.
Stop! I--
You disgust me.
You told me I was a monster.
Monique told me I
was gifted with passion.
None of you know shit!
You don't know how this feels.
I know that God--
[whimpering]
This new life.
It's intoxicating.
You wouldn't believe
the colors I can see in.
The smells
I can see in.
I can trace the
line of your pheromones.
I can walk
through your memories.
I can see that girl
you won't shut up about.
I can see you getting high.
Now tell me.
Did you ever see her body?
Read that police report?
Or did Torquemada kill her
and tell you what happened?
N--no, no.
You poor little follower boy.
You believed him.
Or am I just
fucking with you now?
I can see you.
Your fear.
Your lust. It all
has a specific scent.
And if I wanted to,
I could find you anywhere.
And I will.
If you come for me
I will find you
and I will consume you.
Yeah, you see?
How easy that threat came!
How long before you
start infecting people?
How long before you
become worse than him?
Jessica?
You have to be stopped.
Don't follow me.

Going for some heavy reading?

It's a dry, dusty passion.

you don't get to choose right?
No.
No, you don't.
