The Day Lacey Called (2022) Movie Script

[Uplifting music]
Remember, it's not just
someone else's problem.
Victims of alcoholism, drug
abuse, and domestic abuse
often feel trapped,
unable to ask for help.
You'll find them in your
family, across the road,
or in the office next to you.
We can do more to help.
This is why lakeland's
first assembly of god
is proud to help fund raise
for the southern shores
rehabilitation centre.
Whatever you can give,
$1,000, $100, $50, $5,
even praying for this ministry.
Let Christ do his work through you.
You were so eager back then.
And look.
It paid off.
Didn't it?
All right, Mr.
Afternoon drive.
You should get going.
And this is bill Scott
signing off from wcyg radio,
broadcasting from lakeland's
first assembly of god church.
No.
Save that energy for later.
We need to make it count.
You're right.
Love you.
Love you too.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
Dinner's at 8:00.
Ok?
Ok.
I will be home as soon
as our meeting's done.
You better.
So remember, tomorrow
night, Halloween night,
starting at 8:00 pm, we will
be broadcasting our live pharaoh
pharaoh concert from right
here at lakeland's first
assembly of god church.
So come on down.
Meet the band.
Rock out a little.
But show up early.
Space is limited.
Again, this is bill Scott,
signing off from wcyg radio,
broadcasting from lakeland's
first assembly of god church.
[Knocking]
[80's rock music]
Meeting.
[80's rock music]
Dennis informs me that we
are number one in the ratings
in Christian radio.
Congratulations, bill.
Lakeland's is now the
largest church in the county.
[Cheering]
Let's keep those numbers growing.
Dennis?
Ok.
We have two agenda items to discuss.
First is tomorrow night's concert.
Here's the schedule.
Bill, you live introduce the band.
And then the broadcaster
switches to their mics
for the rest of the night.
Well, shouldn't I stick
around and conclude the show?
I mean, I am the voice of
the program after all. Yeah.
I suppose that could work.
Take this to my desk?
Thanks.
The second agenda item, pastor Lisa.
Next month, the church deacons would
like to do a big push for offerings
to support our newcomers program.
[Sombre music]
The radio show will be a big part of that.
[Clears throat]
I'm on it.
We all know we can count on bill.
That we can.
Thanks, everyone.
Back to work.
All right.
What on earth is going on?
I just talked to a demon.
[Laughs] Alan, it's Halloween tomorrow.
Every radio station gets
prank calls this time of year.
That voice wasn't human, bill.
[Phone ringing]
Look, you answer it, see
if I'm making this up. Hello.
Wcyg.
You're talking to bill Scott.
Hello?
Who do I got?
Lacey.
All right.
And what would you like to hear, Lacey?
I need help.
I'm scared.
You're scared.
How old are you?
Then, you should be old
enough to know that Halloween
pranks like this aren't cool.
It's not a prank.
They're going to kill me tomorrow.
[Eerie music]
Who will?
The coven.
They're going to kill me on Halloween.
I can no longer breed so they
decided to sacrifice me.
I don't want to die.
You have to help me.
It's coming so fast.
They started the sacrifices already.
Please, can you help me?
Miss, pranks like this are no joke.
Can I call your parents for you?
I don't know them.
I've been here as long as I can remember.
All right.
Well, if you can tell us where you are,
we can have the police come.
No.
They're going to kill me if
you bring the police into this.
Please, Mr. Scott.
Ok.
Ok.
It's going to be all right.
We're going to get you to a safe place.
Where are you now, Lacey?
[Groaning]
[Dial tone]
What?
[Clock ticking]
[Phone ringing]
Hello?
Bill, hey.
Hi?
It's me, Elizabeth, your wife.
What's the matter?
You sound a little weird.
No, no.
It's nothing.
Sorry.
We were just...
Am I on speaker?
Hey.
I'm sorry about that.
I was just expecting a...
It doesn't matter.
What's up?
When are you coming home?
Dinner's ready.
8:00.
Remember?
And then, we were supposed to...
Honey, something urgent
has come up at work.
Ah, working late, again.
Yeah.
You eat though.
I'll be ok.
[Click]
Honey?
[Dial tone]
Ok.
I'll see you when I get home.
[Phone ringing]
[Sobbing]
[Lacey] Bill, can you help me?
Why does no one care about me?
Lacey, we care.
But we can't help you unless
you tell us where you are.
I don't know.
I've never been allowed in public.
I'm a breeder.
And they took my baby from
me and they sacrificed him.
They made me eat him too.
Well, where do you go to school?
If you can head there, we'll pick you up.
I never went to school.
Ok.
Um, well, what can you see?
If you give us a landmark,
we can try to locate you.
I see a gas station.
That could be anywhere.
[Demon] Please, go away, bill,
and stop trying to help Lacey.
[Mysterious music]
In Jesus' name, leave Lacey alone.
[Demon] One day, my knee will
bow and my tongue
will confess that Jesus is lord.
But today is not that day.
[Dial tone]
We should just call the police.
The girl is playing a prank
or she's mentally unstable.
Or she's demonically possessed.
Either way, she clearly needs our help.
Look, she got to a phone, didn't she?
She would've called the police
if that was an option for her.
Since we can't locate her, we
need to get her to come to us.
Is Susan still here?
Susan, our secretary?
Why?
When she was a teenager, she
was involved with the occult.
She practised witchcraft and
apparently she communed with spirits.
Yeah.
And they left her when
she became a Christian.
I still think we need to call the police.
Let them handle it.
Can you go get Susan, please?
I have an idea.
And guys, please don't say
anything to pastor Lisa yet.
Just let me handle it for now.
Got you.
[Phone ringing]
Lacey, it's bill.
[Lacey] Where were you?
I was calling and calling and...
Who is with you?
We heard a man's voice.
[Hopeful music]
Thanks for coming back.
It's ok.
I want to help.
I know what she's going through.
Her name's Lacey.
I'm alone, bill.
They hit me and they burn me
when I don't do what they want.
What do they want you to do?
Breeders are garbage.
They take me for sex.
They cut me.
They make me drink animal
blood and people blood.
They stick things into me.
I need your help, bill.
I need you.
Ok.
Look, I have a plan.
Can you find a way to get here?
[Demon] Susan, it's good to see you again.
We've missed you.
All right.
Who are you?
[Evil laughter]
[Lacey] Can I come to your
concert tomorrow?
I want to come.
[Demon] Go away.
No, you go away.
[Demon] I'm going nowhere.
[Maniacal laughter]
We need to tell the pastors about this.
She can't keep calling the station.
They're just gonna scare her off.
Look, she asked for my help.
She trusts me.
Do you know how to deal
with demonic possession?
Well, I mean, I'm a Christian.
Aren't I?
Look, I say we don't involve anyone else,
just for right now.
Let's be the first ones to talk to her
when she comes to the concert.
Enough.
Look, I'm the program director, which
means I'm ultimately in charge.
Both of you, go home.
I'm filing a report with the police.
And we'll see if she
calls back in the morning.
Capisce?
All right.
She didn't call the church.
She called the station.
She opened up to me.
So you're going to what?
Exorcise her over the phone?
Or at the concert in
between commercial breaks?
That would be the Christian thing to do.
Oh, come on, bill.
I know you better than that.
Well, you always want to be
the hero. For the church,
for the station.
Hey.
Well, hey, I can't just sit
around while this girl suffers.
Like, could you?
The church has pastors.
Ok?
You are a radio host.
Let them handle what their experts at.
Your focus should be
on growing our family.
It's my radio program.
Ok?
Lacey called me.
I'm responsible, Elizabeth.
Did you marry me or your job?
[Sombre music]
[Doorbell]
Mr. Hadfield and Mr.
Mitchell told us the story,
but we wanted to confirm
a few details with you.
This girl, she said she
was near a gas station?
Yes.
That's right, officer, a few hours ago.
Right.
We called the gas stations in the area.
There was no sign of any
teenage girl in distress.
And no other information
about her whereabouts?
No, ma'am.
If she calls again, let us know.
So that's it?
Just keep us informed.
There's been a lot of prank
calls this time of year.
But if we determine it to be
real, then we'll investigate.
All right.
Thank you.
Pick me up at 10:00?
Yeah.
I promise I'll be better tonight.
Yesterday was...
I understand.
Tonight.
[Hissing]
Thanks again for coming.
The demons did not defeat me last time.
And I won't let them
defeat Lacey this time.
[Eerie music]
All right.
Happy all hallows' Eve,
you angels and saints,
you kings and queens, you ghost busters
and Draculas I'm bill Scott,
rocking a very scary Halloween
night here with pharaoh
pharaoh, live in studio.
You guys ready?
All right.
So come on down, folks.
And don't be late.
Well, you're already late
if you're not here now.
But, hey, maybe you can meet the band
if you stick around after the show.
Looking forward to
seeing you here tonight.
You know who you are.
All right.
Take it away, guys.
All right.
Thank you, Mr. Scott.
So how are we doing tonight?
[Cheering]
Rock music


I was
lost and hopeless,
lived on a lonely road.
He asked me to follow him
and I answered his call
Yo.
Don't do that.
Sorry.
I just wanted to let you
know I sent the others home.
You can leave if you want.
They're going to pre-recorded
after the concert.
Could you actually stick
around for a little bit,
just keep an eye out for her?
Ok.
Sure.
[Applause]
[Ticking]
[Eerie music]
[Phone ringing]
Lacey?
[Lacey] I'm here.
[Dial tone]
[Phone ringing]
Hello?
[Heavy breathing]
[Phone ringing]
[Female voice] We're all here.
[Dial tone]
[Phone ringing]
Hey.
[Lacey] Help me, bill.
I don't know...
[Dial tone]
[Female voice] Bill, there you are.
Lacey?
Just Susan.
Bill, what's going on?
Why are so many people calling you?
It's Lacey.
Did you hear any of that?
The calls are coming in from every line.
Bill, I don't think that's possible.
It can't be just one person.
Your phone is being called from extensions
all over the church building.
If it was just one person, they'd
have to go from the nursery
room to the library,
in under a second.
This is a big building, bill.
That walk alone takes five minutes.
[Phone ringing]
Lacey.
[Lacey] I'm in the building,
please find me.
Lacey, where...
[Dial tone]
[Ominous music]
[Panting]
Ah.
Here he is.
Bill, this is Roxanne.
She's been looking for you.
What have you done with Lacey?
Who are you?
[Suspenseful music]
What do you want with Lacey?
I'm just looking for Lacey.
Well, in that case, we don't know a Lacey.
I was given a special assignment.
What kind of assignment?
I think you know.
Maybe we do.
But we want to hear it from you.
I've come to kill her.
How do you know she's here?
I know, because she came with me.
You picked her up on the way over?
Lacey lives inside me.
[Whispers]
[Neck cracking]
[Lacey speaking through
Roxanne] Bill, you promised you
would help me. Don't let them
kill me.
So how are we going to handle this?
Call the police.
She threatened murder.
Murder who?
The voice in her head?
Well, maybe she's got
multiple personality disorder.
Alan, do you remember
those voices on the phone?
You said it yourself.
Those voices, they're not human.
[Bill] Listen, I got her here.
Just give me a chance with
her before you call anyone.
I can get her to turn to Christ.
Then, she'll be free of her demons.
This could help grow our church, Dennis.
Listen, if this in any way goes south,
the station, lakeland's,
will be on the hook.
We can't have that.
Ok.
All right.
This is officially my decision.
This is on me.
You happy?
Your wife is angry.
He in there?
You said 10:00.
I know.
I've been waiting in the parking lot.
I'm sorry.
What?
What is taking so long?
Roxanne, this is my wife, Elizabeth.
Hello, Elizabeth.
Roxanne was the one calling
the station last night.
Oh.
Why is it so cold in here?
Bill?
You wanted to tell me about being saved?
Sure.
Roxanne, do you know
that, as a child of god,
you can't have a spirit that is
not from god living inside you?
Yes.
And as christians, we have
power over demons
through Jesus Christ, our lord
and saviour.
Roxanne, god loves you immeasurably.
And his mercy is unending.
Can we, can we pray for you, Roxanne?
[Deep breath]
Dear lord, please give
Roxanne peace and freedom
from the demons, so that she can hear
and respond to your love for her.
[Demon speaking through
Roxanne] We will never leave her.
[Lacey speaking through
Roxanne] You told me you'll love me,
you would fight for me. Why
are you trying to kill me?
Why, bill?
[Scream]
I want to talk to Roxanne.
[Demon] No.
Roxanne, calm down.
Calm down.
Calm down.
Elizabeth, get out of here.
Listen, Roxanne...
[Sobbing]
[Crying]
I'm not sure if I really want her to go.
She's a friend of mine.
Lacey helps me.
Lacey is not your friend.
She wants to destroy you.
[Sobbing]
Lord, I command Satan, in Jesus' name,
to show himself for who he really is.
[Demon] No.
I will kill you, bill Scott.
Aaah!!!
It's ok.
It's ok.
What was that?
What happened?
[Alan] I think Lacey's gone.
I can't go back.
They'll kill me.
You don't have to go back.
We... we'll take you to a hospital.
No.
No, please.
They'll find me there.
Bill, you're the only one who can help me.
Ok.
You can come home with us tonight.
I promise, they won't find you.
Will I have to have sex with you?
What?
No.
No.
No.
Am I to be your slave?
Will I be chained up in your basement?
Look, no slavery, no chains, no basement.
Can we grab some of my jewellery
from my friend's place?
It's a short detour.
It's past midnight.
God.
Didn't she say these friends of hers
were the ones trying to kill her?
So not tonight.
Tomorrow morning, if it's
that important to you.
If Satan thinks he is so bad and bold,
I think I'll command him to bring me
the jewellery in Jesus' name so
I don't have to make the drive.
Hmm?
I know.
I should've run it by you first.
I wasn't thinking.
I was just overwhelmed.
Mhm.
You think?
[Eerie music]
Look, if I felt that we
were in any kind of danger,
I wouldn't have offered.
Please?
Just for a few days.
And then, I promise I will take
her somewhere else. Two days.
And then, she's gone.
I love you.
And I'm sorry.
I love that you want to help her.
I'm just not loving the
way you're doing it.
[Phone ringing]
[Demon] Your request is my command.
[Dial tone]
Did the phone just ring?
It was nothing.
Go back to sleep.
[Ominous music]
[Rattling]
[Interposing voices]
And swallow your soul.
Join us.
My name is legion.
Let us awaken the lord of the abyss.
[Interposing voices]
Bill?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Let's go to bed.
How did you get my jewellery?
Let's go, everyone.
You're right.
This is a good idea.
After the service, I'll
drive your car home
and you can ride with Lizzie in ours.
Ok?
Can you tell me about the sacrifices?
Um, what sacrifices?
At your church.
Are they human or animal?
We don't do that.
That's not what church is.
But you drink blood: The
blood and the flesh of Christ.
That's not what that means.
No.
It's symbolic.
It's just wine and bread.
You'll see when we get there.
[Eerie music]
[Heavy breathing]
Are you sure this is a good idea?
[Scream]
Get her out of here now.
But...
Go.
They're coming for me, bill.
Get her out, now.
Ok.
They're coming to get me, bill. Ok. Ok.
Ok.
Go.
Go, go, go.
It's all right.
It's all right.
We're fine.
A lot are high level
officials in the government
and in the church, from
every area of society,
more common in the wealthy class
than the middle or poor class.
They put curses on people who oppose them.
They?
And what do these curses do exactly?
We usually use them to destroy
relationships, churches,
breaking up marriages.
Christian marriages are a high priority.
Curses can even kill a person.
All in the name of Satan?
Yes.
His army was mobilized a long time ago.
They're all around us.
Ok.
So then, what do they look like?
I mean, are they devil worshippers?
They move on a different
level, manifesting at will,
possessing, moving things.
But you can't see them.
You keep saying they are coming for you.
What do you mean by that?
Like a voice travelling
through a phone line.
[Eerie music]
They can inhabit or possess
other people or animals.
[Sobbing]
[Lacey] They're coming to get me.
I can feel it.
They're getting close.
Lacey?
Ok.
Here we go.
Country fried steak and eggs,
waffles with maple syrup.
Is there anything else that I can get you?
We're fine.
Thank you.
I heard voices coming
from your room last night.
[Roxanne] Some of them are nice.
And some of them not very nice.
How did you end up in a coven?
I was raised in a coven,
to serve as a breeder.
Oh, so you
you've had children?
Well, where are they now?
Are they still in this coven?
Can we go get them out?
I have seen many babies
sacrificed over the years
in many different ways.
Right.
I've had enough of this nonsense.
Just wait here, Roxanne.
Please?
Hey, Elizabeth.
Wait, wait...
What is it that you think
you can do for her, bill?
Liz, I'm trying to help her.
It's my responsibility to
free her from these demons.
Yeah?
Well, I want her out of our lives.
Lizzie...
No.
Are you my husband or are you her saviour?
Because you can't be both.
I paid for breakfast.
I wanted to.
Thanks.
[Ominous music]
He took her home with him?
What's wrong?
Demons just aren't evil.
They're cunning.
Their hatred for people, I almost
died when I had to deal with them.
I hope bill understands just how dangerous
having Roxanne in his house is.
To himself and to Elizabeth.
Here they are.
I just wanted to congratulate
you guys on our live to air
concert.
I heard it went really well.
Thanks.
Where is bill?
[Caw]
[Flapping]
[Gasp]
Shoo.
Go on.
You guys like to blast the
air conditioner in here.
Too cold for me I'm afraid.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Ok.
On three, we're going to run.
Just SWAT it out of
the way if you have to.
Ok?
Ready?
One, two, three.
Go, go, go.
[Rumbling]
[Shouting]
Bill?
Get under the desks.
No.
What the hell was that?
Soul traveller.
[Cawing]
Please find out if that was an earthquake.
An earthquake?
In this part of the country?
[Phone ringing]
[Demon talking]
It's Roxanne's demons.
This has to end.
Can I ask you a question?
Anything.
You said Lacey lives inside you.
How many others are there?
Would you like to speak to
someone in particular, bill?
Because I'd rather not get them out.
No, no.
I was just... was there
a demon in that bird?
Could be.
Could be the other members of the coven.
They're pissed that I left.
They even killed a woman
who tried to leave.
I just hope they don't
hurt you or Elizabeth
for trying to help me.
Roxanne, can I pray for you?
It will help.
[Suspenseful music]
Dear lord Jesus, I pray for Roxanne
that you would deliver
her from the demons.
[Demon] Roxanne will die for
her decision to leave us.
I rebuke you, demon.
[Demon] I have summoned my
followers to come for her.
[Another demon] Because of
you, we are going to kill Roxanne.
She is no longer hidden and safe.
And you will be responsible for her death.
You should've listened.
[Panting]
[Screaming]
[Elizabeth] What's happening?
Get away.
[Elizabeth] What is happening?
I don't know.
[Elizabeth] Roxanne?
[Elizabeth] Lroxanne?
[Sobbing]
[Elizabeth] Roxanne?
[Hysterical laughter]
I guess that really made him mad.
You should probably lie down and rest.
I'll get you settled.
[Knocking]
Hey.
Hey, Alan, Sandra.
What brings you here?
We missed you at church today, man.
Yeah.
Well, it was a bit of a rough morning.
How's Elizabeth doing?
Oh, she's fine.
She's fine.
Is she home?
I'd love to say hi.
Oh, she's actually upstairs napping.
So...
Is Roxanne still with you?
Ok.
What's this really about?
A few of us at the station are concerned
about you and Elizabeth, especially Susan.
She thinks...
Tell him what happened.
Look, guys, I really
appreciate your concern,
but I can handle this.
Ok?
Bill, maybe it's time to
call the police again.
Roxanne is a welcome guest in our house.
And she wants to stay.
She's an adult who's free
to make her own decisions.
It's not Roxanne we're worried about, man.
[Melancholy music]
Look, I really do appreciate your concern.
I'll see you at work tomorrow.
Morning, bill.
We're concerned, bill.
Roxanne, her demons.
Did you see what happened out there?
People are scared.
And I can't run a radio
station on half staff.
If you keep meddling with Roxanne,
it's going to come back.
You need to stop.
Whatever happened to
leading her to Christ?
And showing the larger
community all the good
work that we're doing?
Or growing our church?
That's still lakeland's
priority, isn't it?
It certainly is.
I presume you told him what
happened here yesterday.
Bill, maybe you should focus on promoting
the tithes and the offerings
for the newcomers program.
Let the church handle Roxanne, quietly.
Roxanne asked for my help.
She's not going to
cooperate with anyone else.
We agree, bill.
But let others help.
I can't just abandon her.
How does Elizabeth feel about this?
[Sigh]
[Gasp]
[Suspenseful music building]
Hello?
Roxanne.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were still here.
Do you work a job?
Yes.
I'm a teller at a bank.
Is it like a family for you?
I guess.
Sort of.
I've never had a family.
You and bill make a lovely couple.
Why don't you have kids yet?
We're planning on it.
Don't most young churchgoing
couples have kids by now?
I didn't know you were familiar
with so many young churchgoing
couples.
I can tell he's very busy,
running that popular radio
show and all.
It must be tough that he doesn't
make family a priority.
Roxanne, don't take this the wrong way,
but how long are you
planning on staying here?
What's your next move?
Bill says I can stay until
I'm free of the demons.
I trust him.
Do you not trust in him, Elizabeth?
No.
It's not a matter of
trusting in him, per se.
Hold on a second.
I have an idea.
Why don't we end this right now?
Shall we?
[Screaming]
[Demon] I'm going to kill her.
I'm going to kill her.
She is mine and I'm going
to kill her, because of you.
Elizabeth?
Roxanne?
[Creak]
[Door closes]
[Gasp]
[Ominous music]
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[Demon] Where do you think
you're going, friends?
This is my home.
In the name of god, you
are not welcome here.
[Screaming]
[Gibberish]
Help me hold her down.
Elizabeth.
She has something in her hand.
Hold her wrists.
Come on.
Hold her wrists.
[Demon] I know what you're thinking.
I brought them myself so
we could finish the job.
[Screaming]
[Sobbing]
Make it stop.
Help me carry her.
Make it stop.
Come on.
Elizabeth.
[Eerie music]
I don't understand.
Why can't we just call 911?
I'm not just going to
give up and call 911.
Bill, you don't have to look
at it like you're giving up.
No one's accepting new
patients so last minute.
Well, we can't just leave
her tied up in our basement.
[Bill's voice] We can do more to help.
This is why lakeland's
first assembly of god
is proud to help fund raise
for the southern shores
rehabilitation centre.
Roxanne.
They told me what you're planning.
I don't want to go there.
Don't leave me, bill.
Southern shores is an
excellent ministry, Roxanne.
Your wife put you up to this, didn't she?
She hates me.
Look, they're much more
equipped to help you, long -term.
You're leaving me?
They'll find me and you're leaving me?
[Shrieking]
In Jesus's name, I demand
that you allow Roxanne
to reach southern shores.
I don't want to go.
I don't want to go.
I don't want to go.
I don't want to go.
It's ok.
It's ok.
I'll visit you every day.
I promise.
[Sobbing]
[Ominous music]
Can I help you?
This woman needs treatment.
She has wounds on her
hand, but she's also...
There's a lot more.
We accept new arrivals generally
through a doctor's referral
during office hours.
We can't accept drop-offs at this hour.
Listen, we are not leaving
until you admit her.
So go wake up whoever you
need to wake up and let's
get this done.
Yeah?
This is bill Scott from wcyg
radio in lake land church.
He leads your fundraisers.
Oh, yes.
Of course.
[Phone ringing]
I can't stay with you anymore?
The director would like to speak with you.
I'll tend to her hand.
Thank you.
[Various patients] What a
growing garbage dump...
[Various patients] Shut up.
[Various patients] I hate you.
[Various patients]
Just shut...
We usually don't get new
patients at this hour.
We really appreciate you admitting her
on such short notice.
I know bill here thinks very
highly of your practice.
Thank you.
So, tell me, what are your
concerns with Roxanne?
The cuts seem superficial.
I don't think you need stitches.
So I'm going to put an antiseptic
on it and a clean bandage.
Ok, hun?
Now, honey, this may sting a bit.
God.
[Screaming]
I need assistance here.
[Lacey] Have you ever tasted human flesh?
Demonic possession is not
a recognized psychiatric or
medical diagnosis.
I saw her thrown across my living room.
People with mental illness
can display physical movements
that seem impossible.
No.
You don't understand.
It can be hard to see a loved
one suffer from mental illness.
Hence, we tend to call
it demonic possession,
so that these illnesses are
seen as coming from outside,
not from within.
Dr. Braun, you can help
Roxanne though, right?
Our ministry is geared towards
teens and young adults.
You are going to take her, aren't you?
Once Roxanne is cured, I could
talk about all the good work
that southern shores is
doing on my radio show.
I could do a feature on Roxanne's journey,
from the first time she called
me up until her time here.
It could help bring in more
fundraising dollars for you.
I suppose we could take
her on as a special case.
I can still visit her right?
No.
I'm afraid not.
Part of our success is
due to limiting contact
with the outside world.
Well, I can't leave her then.
Yes, we can.
I made her a promise.
Well, you're going to break it.
Thank you so much, Dr. Braun.
We really appreciate it.
If we need any further
information, we'll call.
[Sombre music]
Hey, you're doing the right thing.
Am I?
I feel like I failed, Lizzie.
I was supposed to help
free her from her demons.
But instead I just dumped her here,
made her someone else's problem.
I'm no good.
I'm a fraud.
[Sniffling]
Hey.
Come on.
God won't be mad at you for asking
for a little bit of help.
Look at me.
These people, they can do more for her.
That's what matters.
Right?
She's out of her lives.
We should be celebrating.
[Ominous music]
Come on.
We should get out of here before
they change their minds.
Yeah?
Ok.
We got two cheeseburgers ready to go.
I think we're going to need
two more with no cheese. Ok.
These are almost ready.
Could you take over for a minute thought?
I'm going to run inside,
grab a tray of deviled eggs
from the fridge.
Don't say "devil."
Bill?
Bill, are you ok?
I'm fine.
Sorry about that, Susan.
Elizabeth tells me how hard it was
for you to leave Roxanne at the facility,
but I think you did the right thing.
I noticed her car was still
in the driveway though.
What are you planning on doing with it?
Well, whenever Roxanne gets better,
she can just come take it back.
You should get rid of it now
and anything she's left here.
Susan, it's fine.
I mean, we only have the one car.
So it's not like it's an
inconvenience for us or anything
keeping anything that belongs
to her here is like keeping...
I'm sorry, Susan.
I really got to get back to that barbecue.
Don't want anything to burn.
for the demons to return.
Sunny and mild this
afternoon, a high of 56.
Partly cloudy tonight with a low of 45.
It is currently 5:00.
I'm bill Scott, signing off for the day.
Coming up next, Sonny gamble.
We'll talk at you tomorrow.
[Rock music]
[Eerie music]
[Mysterious music]
Hi.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You cooked?
Yeah.
Chicken casserole.
Oh, you mean the one we've had
in the freezer for six months now?
Mhm.
Ok.
I don't think that's chicken, by the way.
It's not?
[Phone ringing]
[Sombre music]
Hello?
Roxanne?
[Click]
[Dial tone]
Hang up?
Yeah.
Think so.
I got one of those this morning.
Hmm.
[Phone ringing]
Hello?
[Witch] Where's Roxanne?
[Witch] Are you going to tell me?
Who is it?
[Witch] Or do we have to come over?
We're not interested.
It's them, isn't it?
She's not here.
Remember?
Well, you better not call southern shores
to check in on her then.
No.
I have a better idea.
[Mysterious music]
[Gasp]
Honey, are you awake?
Elizabeth?
Hmm?
What?
Were you hitting my feet?
What?
Something hit my feet.
You're dreaming.
Bill?
[Ominous music]
What is it?
Someone's here.
You should stay here.
[Demons shouting]
[Phone ringing]
[Demon] I can't wait to drink your blood.
[Indecipherable noise]
What do you want with us?
[Screeching]
[Elizabeth] What do you want with us?
No.
No, no, no, no.
[Screeching continues]
No, no, no.
[Ominous music]
[Demon] We want Roxanne back.
You need to bring her to us.
I'm going to hang up now.
[Demon] I'll just call back.
Why do you feel you can come into my home?
I am an invited guest in this home.
In Jesus's name, tell
me how you think you are
an invited guest in this house.
Haven't you looked under Roxanne's bed?
[Phone ringing]
[Screaming]
You are no longer welcome here.
You will leave this house,
in Jesus's name, now.
[Whimpering]
[Crying]
It's ok.
It's ok.
You're ok.
It's ok.
I made it leave.
It's gone.
Stay right here, ok?
Stay here.
No, don't leave me.
Please.
[Suspenseful music]
Where are you going?
Outside.
I can't take this anymore, bill.
I can't take this anymore.
[Quiet sobs]
Elizabeth?
[Melancholy music]
[Overlapping demon voices]
Help me, bill.
[Shouting]
[Thunder]
[Eerie music]
Roxanne is gone.
Her stuff isn't here.
God.
You don't scare me.
Do you hear me?
[Thunder]
This is my home.
[Alarm]
[Knocking]
You found me.
Yeah.
I figured you'd be at your sister's.
What do you want, bill?
Please come home.
That is not my home, not anymore.
It's possessed.
Look, I'm sorry you had to
go through that nightmare.
Then, end it.
Ok?
Admit you're out of
your league and end it.
Elizabeth, she turned to me.
She didn't turn to you.
Ok?
You just picked up the phone.
You might be a hotshot at lake land church.
But working at a Christian radio station
does not make you an exorcist.
Please.
I just... I really need you
by my side as I fight this.
They know you know where she is.
And they'll keep coming.
I can't stand by and
watch you go in circles.
I can't come back.
You were right about her car.
My advice?
Stop trying to fix Roxanne.
How can I stop when it
won't leave me alone?
Well, stop relying on your own strength.
Let go of your pride
and do exactly what it
is you're asking Roxanne to do.
[Mysterious music]
And what's that?
Put your faith in the lord.
Power over demons comes from
him, not the church of bill.
Did you ever think that maybe you
weren't the first person
this has happened to?

Look, this may seem odd,

I just wanted to see if you know her.
Hello?

[Phone ringing]
[Heidi] Hello?
Hi.
Is this Heidi?
[Heidi] Yes.
Hi, Heidi.
My name is bill Scott.
And I found your number
in a notebook that belongs
to a woman named Roxanne.
[Heidi] I'm sorry.
I can't get involved.
Please, just
[dial tone]
[Phone ringing]
[Pastor cliff] Pastor cliff speaking.
[Eerie music]
Hi.
My name is bill.
I found your number in a
notebook of a woman living
with us named Roxanne.
I wanted to see if you know her.
Hello?
[Pastor cliff] Do you have Roxanne now?
We don't have her right now,
but she is in a safe place.
We're trying to help her.
You see, I work at a
Christian radio station.
And she called in a few days ago and
[pastor cliff] Did you invite
her into your home?
Yes.
Are you there?
[Pastor cliff] Have you spoken
to abaddon yet?
Bill Scott?
Yes.
I'm pastor cliff hartman.
What do you think of our church?
[Eerie music]
[Pastor cliff] About five years
ago, Roxanne called us for help.
She went by Rebecca then.
We brought her into our
home, which was the biggest
mistake I've ever made.
I hope you haven't done the same.
You never want to let a
demon-possessed person
into your house.
Roxanne is no longer with me.
She really is in a safe
place with good folks
who know how to work with troubled people.
Do they really?
Let me ask you.
How much do you know about
witchcraft and the occult
and demon possession?
Not much.
Son, I have been in the
ministry of spiritual deliverance
for 25 years.
I have never encountered
anyone like Roxanne
and the level of demons
that control her life.
Be careful.
What do I do?
Every demon, no matter how powerful,
is subject to the power of Jesus Christ.
It's just, the more powerful they are,
the more cunning they are.
Were you able to help Roxanne at all?
Like, how did you get your life back?
Roxanne was with us for five months.
My wife Esther and I would
pray over her every night.
We would bind the demons that were in her.
But one night, we were
praying and the demons
were so furious with us that
the house began to shake.
Then, we heard a voice
boom out of thin air.
"Why do you torment me so?"
Later that year, Roxanne
left and went back home
to Louisiana.
You mentioned someone named abaddon.
Is that a particular demon?
Yes.
He's powerful and crafty.
Once someone gets close to
him with the name of Jesus,
he usually moves Roxanne somewhere else.
And how will I know I've met abaddon?
You'll know.
Can you tell me what I can do?
My wife left me.
My friends are staying clear.
And the church is afraid of controversy.
That's the agenda.
Wherever Roxanne goes, she leaves
a trail of destroyed churches
and broken relationships.
How many names and numbers
were in that notebook
that you found?
Dozens.
Bill, Satan is not after Roxanne.
He already has her.
He is after you.
You are the one that
is called to ministry.
[Pastor cliff] You are in great danger.
[Pastor cliff] And they will
keep coming for you.
[Pastor cliff] If you leave your
house, they will follow you.
When sorrows
like sea billows roll
[Pastor cliff] They will wear you down.
[Pastor cliff] But you have
one thing in your favour.
Thou has taught me
[]Pastor cliff] You know you
are being used as a pawn.
It is well
[pastor cliff]
Roxanne may not.
My soul
[demon speaking through Roxanne] Shut up.
[Screaming]
[Roxanne screaming ]
[Pastor cliff] Roxanne will
never be free of the demons
[pastor cliff] Until she wants
to be. Until she openly and
[pastor cliff] Outwardly
accepts god's gift of grace.
[Pastor cliff] You must
explain this to her.
[Pastor cliff] And only if she
can accept god's gift,
[pastor cliff] Then you can pray over her.
Susan, can you call Alan and
Dennis into the office please?
Are you sure you want
to go through with this?
Confronting her means confronting abaddon.
And that could destroy you.
It could destroy more than just you.
Look, guys, I'd really
love your help on this one,
but I'm going, regardless.
[Pastor cliff] Then, listen to
me carefully, bill.
[Pastor cliff] This is what you must do.
[Pastor cliff] Anoint every
window, every door, every wall,
[pastor cliff] Every floor
with a cross of oil.
[Pastor cliff] This is symbolic
of the blood of Christ and the
[pastor cliff]
Holy spirit.
[Pastor cliff] Rebuke the
demons in Jesus' name.
[Pastor cliff] Do not engage
them in conversation.
[Pastor cliff] Do not let her touch you.
[Pastor cliff] Do you understand me?
[Pastor cliff] Your life is on the line.
[Pastor cliff] And may god bless you.
Roxanne has demons.
This girl is possessed.
What happened?
We had to evacuate everyone.
Roxanne isn't Roxanne.
She has everyone terrified.
The last I saw, she was
running around the room
swinging a chair over her
head and cursing at each of us
in a man's voice.
Her eyes were rolled up
into the back of her head.
They knew I was coming.
Strange things really started
happening a couple of days ago.
First, there were reports of someone
peeking into the windows.
One of the ladies saw a face and
she swore it was not human.
And then, we heard voices.
And a couple of the
girls swore that things
were jumping on them in
the middle of the night.
And that's when we
remembered your warnings.
I guess we should've listened.
I had to lock her in.
Do you want to go in?
Keep the door open.
Ok?
[Creaking]
[Wind blowing]
[Ominous music]
[Demon chittering]
[Cracking]
[Demon speaking through Roxanne]
It's good to see you, bill.
[Demon] Why don't you join me on the bed?
[Demon] I see you brought the lube.
[Maniacal laughter]
Stay back.
[Demon] What is that?
Blood of Christ.
Bars you from leaving this room.
I want to speak to Roxanne.
[Demon eventually the
witches will find her here.
Why don't you just tell
them that she's here?
[Scream]
You can't, can you?
It means our prayers are working.
You have no power over the domain of god.
[Lacey speaking through
Roxanne] Don't send me away.
[Lacey] I beg of you.
If I return to hell without this
soul, my torment begins today.
[Sobbing]
[Demon] You useless Nazi kraut
you are getting in the way.
[Screaming]
[Screaming]
Bill, help me.
Bill, make it stop.
Roxanne, you need to tell them
to leave, in Jesus' name.
I'm trying.
[Demon] Since the great war, I
have been in this family.
[Demon speaking German]
[Demon speaking German]
She set the fire of destruction in Europe.
She'll never leave the cow.
I command you to speak English.
[Demon speaking German]
[Demon] You cannot have her.
No.
No.
You have no power here.
You hear me?
She is not yours.
Christ is your master.
Roxanne, you must rely on Jesus.
It's the only way to rebuke the demons.
[Whimpering]
[Eerie music]
[Abaddon speaking through
Roxanne] You found me.
Abadon.
[Abaddon] You will never free her.
[Abaddon] Much better people
than you have tried
[abaddon] And it hasn't happened yet.
[Abaddon] I'll kill her
before I leave her.
[Snarling]
[Abaddon] I am so sick of you.
[Abaddon] I'm not going to kill Roxanne.
[Abaddon] I'm going to kill you.
"The lord is my rock and my fortress."
"My god, my strength,
in whom I will trust."
[Chocking]
"My shield, my horn of
salvation."
[Abaddon] You missed a word.
[Abaddon] If you cannot read
it right, don't read it at all.
[Abaddon] Would you like me to
finish the chapter?
"I am a child of god."
[Abaddon] I don't see a child of god.
[Abaddon] I just see a man
filled with pride.
[Intense music]
Are you my husband or are you her saviour?
Because you can't be both.
Shouldn't I stick around
to conclude the show?
I mean, I am the voice
of the program after all.
It could destroy more than just you.
We agree, bill.
But let others help.
[Roxanne grunting]
Stop relying on your own strength.
Let go of your pride.
Put your faith in the lord.
Power over demons comes from
him, not the church of bill.
"Do nothing out of selfish
ambition or vain conceit.
Rather, in humility
value others above yourselves."
[Panting]
[Coughing]
Remember my instructions.
[Demon] Susan, you can't escape us.
[Demon] We'll always be hunting you.
[Demon] Dear Alan, always
pretending to be a true friend.
[Demon] But would a true friend
have as much doubt in his
[demon] Friends as you do?
[Demon] Don't be fooled, bill.
[Demon] Alan thinks you're weak.
[Demon] And Dennis, your wife was right.
[Demon] Pity you can't run a
mainstream radio station.
[Demon] Pity you'll never live
up to her expectations.
[Susan] Lord, we anoint this
place for your protection
over the staff and patients.
[Denis] Guide us as we seek
deliverance for Roxanne.
[Alan] We pray that the witches
can not find Roxanne here.
[Eerie music]
[Screaming]
Let go of me.
[Sobbing]
Lord, I transfer all my pride,
my vanity, my ego, my shame,
my pain, and my guilt to the cross.
I pray for Roxanne to accept you as lord
and to be delivered from the demons.
[Shrieking]
It's not working.
Roxanne, if you want to
be free, it's your choice.
I can pray, but I can't force them to go.
You have to want them to go.
You must rely on Jesus.
I choose to be free.
[Demon speaking German]
[Growling]
[Demon] She's mine.
Rebuke them.
I rebuke them.
Again, Roxanne.
Rebuke Satan.
Leave me alone, in Jesus' name.
Go back to hell.
[Demon] I'll take her with me.
No.
You are not taking this woman.
You have no authority here.
Tell them again, Roxanne.
[Rumbling]
I choose to be free.
I rebuke you in Jesus' name.
Again.
In Jesus' name, I rebuke you.
[Screaming]
[Whimpering]
All good.
You're ok.
You're ok.
[Sobbing]
[Mysterious music]
How are you feeling?
I feel good. Comfortable.
So do you remember any of the German?
German?
Never mind.
Bill, thank you for all of your help.
[Hopeful music]
God will do great things through you.
I hope Elizabeth is ok.
I'm ready to leave now.
I got you $600 for your car.
That should be enough to get
you wherever you're going.
North.
Goodbye, bill.
So did Roxanne agree to let
you tell her story on the air?
I didn't ask.
Oh.
Liz?
Hmm?
Look, I know I've made a lot of mistakes.
I was just so consumed with
helping Roxanne that it...
I didn't see what it was
doing to our marriage.
Why do you suppose that is?
Pride.
I felt like my life should be
more than just broadcasting
from some church.
Being my husband, it wasn't enough.
Being good at your job,
that wasn't enough.
You had to go and defeat Satan.
Yeah, all by myself.
I guess I just felt like I
needed to prove that I matter.
You know?
The success of the church, the station,
that it was because of me.
You matter to the people who love you.
That should've been enough.
Come home?
Are you being true to yourself
and those who love you?
If not, what's stopping you?
I'm bill Scott, always here,
talking and listening to you.
Next up, Sonny gamble.
That's it?
Yep.
I thought this place would last forever.
Looks like Roxanne's demons
may just get their wish.
Nah.
This church had problems
way before she called in.
We were just too focused
on getting bigger.
It put too much pressure on us.
Well, god heals what's broken.
Right?
Yeah.
We'll be ok.
I'll miss you, man.
I'll miss you too.
Take care, bro.
You too.
Thank you.
[Phone ringing]
This is bill Scott.
[Radio dj] Hi, bill. This is
going to sound weird,
but I found your name and
station's number in a notebook.
[Suspenseful music]
Ok.
How can I help you?
[Radio dj] I work at a radio
station in Georgia.
[Radio dj] So a few days ago,
a girl named Lacey
[radio dj] Called us saying
that she was going
[radio dj] To be sacrificed on
Halloween, by some sort of coven.
And then we actually met her
and she's a woman named Renata.
[Radio dj] We found the
notebook in her purse.
[Radio dj] And I was wondering if
you might know her. [Radio dj] Hello?
[Sombre music]
