The Fetus (2025) Movie Script
1
- "Our Father in heaven,
hallowed by your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil."
Amen.
- Oh god.
Okay.
Uh!
- Hey, what, did I do something?
What's going on?
- What the hell?
Oh, shit.
- Hey, hey, what happened?
Did I do that?
Oh, fuck, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, I didn't realize
I was grabbing you like that.
- Oh, it's nothing. Don't
worry about it.
- I guess I really got into it.
- And you'll just have to find
a way to make it up to me.
- What?
- Hmm?
Nothing.
- You're pregnant.
- Um.
No, that, um,
that, that, that can't be right.
He, he always wears
a condom, so.
- Urine tests are 99% accurate.
He also wasn't wearing
one last night either.
Dried semen.
- This doesn't make any sense.
I saw him put on the
condom last night,
and I'm only here for
my annual checkup, so.
- I'm not trying to
imply anything.
But if it's possible,
you can check the trash
to see if the condom is
full of semen or not.
- What good will that do now?
Having a child is quite
a commitment.
Might be good to know if
your partner's up for it.
Call me if you have
any questions.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- He's your father,
what's the matter with you?
- And I'm not going.
- Everyone's
going to be there.
- I don't care.
- How can you
be so ungrateful
after everything we've
done for you?
- You're kidding me, right?
- The past is
the past, Chris.
- Okay.
- So what if you two
didn't always get along?
You were a handful growing
up, you know?
Always talking back and
being disrespectful.
He would never have
wanted me to share this,
but I can say it now
that he's passed,
your father was abused in the
same way by Grandpa Victor
and Great Grandpa Charlie.
Who knows how many
generations this has gone on.
And I'm afraid that if you
don't find a way to let go,
you'll carry this with you.
Say something, would you?
- Okay, Mom, um,
I'm not going to the funeral,
so just send me the
documents and I'll sign them.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You all right?
- Have you been lying to me?
- What are you talking about?
- I'm pregnant.
- Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
- Did you even use a
condom last night?
- Of course, you saw
me put it on.
- Okay, let's check.
- Alessa, where are you going?
- Oh.
- Oh.
- What's this?
- Yeah, I,
I was gonna tell you about that.
- You were gonna tell
me about that?
- Well, that doesn't matter.
When was your last period?
- I don't, like a week ago.
But do you do this often?
Like, do you not give
a shit about my body
and you're just not telling
me when this happened?
- Maybe the doctor's wrong.
Think about that?
- Chris, do you remember
when I told you that my body,
it doesn't work the
same as everyone else's?
- Yeah, but you still
have to produce enough,
I don't know, whatever
it is that women produce
to test positive.
- Yeah, okay.
- So what if it is-
- Yes, but things happen
faster for me, Chris!
I'm a freak.
- Okay, Alessa,
you can't get pregnant
overnight,
so just relax and breathe, okay?
And hang on, okay?
'Cause I got something
at the store today.
Here.
- You're joking, right?
Did you not hear anything
I just said?
- Yes, you're pregnant
and this will fix it.
Okay, that was 50 bucks.
- You're making decisions
about my body!
I have no idea what
that pill will do
to me in my condition, okay?
- It's only-
- This could be
life-threatening for me, Chris.
My mother died giving
birth to me, okay?
And my dad said that
if I ever got pregnant,
I needed to avoid the hospital
and go directly to him,
so that's exactly
what we're doing.
- No, you're not thinking
clearly.
- Chris, Chris, please, just,
I need to go see my
father right away.
So come on, let's go.
- Oh, no, we're not.
You know, I'm not,
you know, I'm...
- Not what?
- I'm not there yet.
- Okay, so, what?
We've just been fuck
friends this whole time?
- Hang on, I'll call
you an Uber, okay?
What's the address?
Dick.
Ah, ah, ah
- No, no, no, no.
Oh, perfect.
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
- Alessa?
Are you okay in there?
Look, I'm sorry what I
said about not taking you
to see your dad.
I really do like you, I,
I just think having a
baby is a really big deal.
Alessa?
Oh, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, wake up.
Alessa, hey, oh, come on.
Hey, you okay?
Hey.
- What, what happened?
- You fell.
Okay, I'm taking you
to a hospital.
- No, no, no, I'm fine.
- Alessa, people die from
concussions all the time.
You're going to a hospital.
- Can you just take me
to see my dad, please?
- You're-
- And I'll never ask you
for anything ever again, just.
- Your mom really died
giving birth to you?
- Oh god, I'm starving.
- Oh, here, they've
got, like, 28 grams of-
Protein.
You weren't kidding when
you said you were hungry.
- I know, it's weird.
It's like a part of me starving,
and a part of me is,
like, not hungry at all.
Why did we stop?
- I just need to pee.
- Okay.
Shit.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
- Are you okay?
- What? What's with the-
Ooh.
- Alessa?
Are you okay?
Alessa?
- Don't, don't come in, yeah!
Yeah, uh, I'm okay.
- Was that you screaming?
- Yeah, yeah.
Um, yeah, I saw a snake,
but it's gone.
It's gone, don't come in.
- All right, well,
I'll be out here.
- Hey, stop being a little
piece of shit.
You see how much sugar
this damn thing has in it?
- I don't care! I want it!
- Do you not remember
what the doctor just said?
- I just want one bite!
- Son, you have diabetes.
You can't eat sugar anymore.
No more candy bars!
- Hey, he can have this.
It's zero sugar. It'll be fine.
- Hey, man, get the
hell outta here.
- Okay, sorry.
- I gotta take a
leak, all right?
You sit right here.
You don't talk to anyone,
especially that guy,
and don't touch the candy.
- Hey, your dad's just
looking out for you.
- I hate him.
- I know how you feel.
Here, it can be our
little secret.
You look refreshed.
- Yeah, let's go.
- Guess she heard the snake too.
- Yeah.
- How long does
this trip normally take?
- A couple hours.
By the way, I should tell you
about a few things about my dad.
He's a bit particular
about certain things.
- Such as?
- Once we arrive, I'll
have to cook for him,
like immediately.
He doesn't really talk
much until he eats.
It's something to
do with his PTSD
that he had when he was
a soldier in Vietnam.
- What does eating have
to do with fighting?
- At a certain point he was
stuck between enemy lines
and he was out of rations,
so he was starving and he
couldn't really think straight,
and he ended up shooting
a friend.
- Jesus.
- So he doesn't really
talk much until he eats.
That, and he went blind from
a mortar-shell explosion, so.
What about your dad?
- Uh.
You just deny
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Who's there?
- Oh, shit!
- Dad, Dad. It's okay.
It's just me.
- Is he for real?
- Don't worry.
- Are you alone?
- He's blind, remember.
No, but we're coming up.
Dad.
It's so good to see you.
You know what? Why
don't I take that?
I got it, yeah.
This is Chris.
- Oh, hi there, sir.
- He's trying to shake
your hand, Dad.
- He's just sensitive
to certain smell.
Dad, why don't I take you in
and get you some food? Yeah?
- This is nice.
Uh, Alessa said you had a dog.
Where's he?
- Dog's dead.
- I was, uh, always more
of a cat person.
Do you think you'll
get another one?
Just one and done?
How long have you
lived out here?
It's a pretty big place.
Yeah.
I'm more of a city guy, but, um,
as a kid, you know, I spent
a lot of time in woody areas.
Oh.
Are these legit?
What was it like in Nam?
- Chris?
- Yeah.
You weren't kidding.
- Warned you.
Vietnam?
Really?
- When are you gonna tell
him you're pregnant, hm?
- I'll tell him as soon as
we're done eating, okay?
Can you help me with that?
- Oh yeah.
Ooh.
Ow! Shit!
Alessa?
Fuck.
Uh, I, um, I cut myself.
So just be careful,
there's blood.
I'll wipe it all up in a second.
Do you have any Band-Aids?
Guess not.
You all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
I just, um, I needed to
come out to get some air.
I was feeling so nauseous,
like a little bit nauseous.
Hey, could you do me a favor?
- Yeah, sure.
- Can you, um, throw
out the steaks?
Like all of them.
Just throw 'em in a bag and
clean up all the blood you see.
- That's a little excessive.
- No, I don't think, because
I'm pretty sure it's rotten,
so I don't want us to get sick.
- Really? I think it looks good.
- Can you just do it?
Please.
- Sure.
- Hey.
The Band-Aids are in
the far-left drawer
near the fridge.
- Got it.
- It's done.
- Yeah.
Let me see.
- It's fine.
- Did you disinfect it?
- Mm-hmm.
Found some bourbon
in the cupboard.
- Really sorry.
- It's all right.
Come on.
- Hey.
- What?
- I think you should be
done with knives today.
Yeah?
So why don't you just sit
down and try to relax,
and I am gonna make you
the best vegetable stew
you've ever had.
- Hot.
- I think she's pregnant.
- Mmm.
- There you go.
- You two make a mighty
fine stew.
- That was all her.
I think I did more
harm than good.
- Well, you know what they say,
"Man draws his strength
from a good woman."
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, would you like a drink?
- No, I can't.
- Are you gay?
- No.
- Dad.
- I have to drive.
- Mm. Alessa?
- Not this time.
Thank you, Dad.
- Geez.
Well.
Mm.
Could you open the
blinds behind you?
Warm up the room a little bit.
- Okay.
- Perfect.
- Maddox,
sir, if you don't
mind me asking,
what's it like being blind?
- I wouldn't wish this
affliction on my worst enemy.
I mean, I never even saw my
daughter's face until,
well, she's beautiful.
Well, tell me about your father.
What line of work is he in?
- That's not something I
really like to talk about.
- Well, if you're gonna
be with my daughter,
I need to know your
family history.
- Dad, I don't really-
- He liked the bottle
more than he liked me.
- Well, I'll drink to that.
Mm.
- There are no napkins,
so why don't I go do that?
- Ah!
Oh, okay.
- Dad, Dad, Dad,
Dad, what are you doing?
- What kind of idiot-
- What are you doing?
- Have you dragged
into my cabin!
- I was just, I, I was
just trying to get a fly.
- Dad, just let him
go, please, okay?
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- You better mind your
manners, boy!
- I'm sorry. It won't
happen again.
- Um.
Actually, Dad, I,
we came here
for a reason.
I was hoping that I could maybe
talk to you about something.
- Well, shoot.
- Do you remember how
you said Mommy
died giving birth to me?
- Yes.
Yes.
- Well, um, was there
anything, like, unusual
about her pregnancy that
might have caused her death?
- Honestly, it was so long ago,
I really can't remember.
- Yeah, sure, but you have
medical records, right?
Like, somewhere in the house
that maybe we could
look around for?
- Sweetheart, I can't
even match my own socks.
- Yeah.
What about the clinic
I was born in?
Like, you said that was like,
what, four hours from here?
So maybe if we left now we can-
- No, you're not leaving!
I mean,
I don't get to see
you very often.
And, uh, I tell you what,
why don't you guys settle
in for the night
and I will look for anything
I can find out about
your mother.
- That's a lovely-
- No, that's great.
Thank you, Dad.
- We can't-
- Uh, that's great, Dad.
Thank you.
- I'll go prep your room.
- Oh, no, no, please, Dad.
Let me get your cane.
Why don't you go in the
other room and relax,
and I will show Chris
the room, okay?
Thanks, Dad.
- Sure.
- Yeah, we did
not talk about-
- No, come on, let's go.
Chris, come on. Let's go.
Can you help me look, please?
- What for?
- I don't know.
Just documents, paperwork,
anything that could be,
like, medical related, okay?
- I mean, I've only
got receipts.
- Fuck!
Nothing here.
- What about the clinic
you were born at?
- It's like four hours away.
We'll never get there in time.
It's not open 24 hours
like hospitals are.
We'll never get there in time.
We'll have to go in the morning.
- What? We're staying overnight?
- Look, Chris, I'm going
through a lot
of fucked-up shit right now,
so it'd be nice if you
could be here with me.
- Are you okay?
- No, I'm not fucking okay!
- All right, come here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Just because your mom
died giving birth to you
doesn't mean you will too.
- Fuck, maybe you were
right about the pill.
- Yeah?
All right, how about this?
After we say goodbye
to your dad,
let's head back to the city.
We'll stop by a pharmacy.
- Okay.
- It's gonna be okay.
- What is he doing now?
Hey, hey, hey, Dad, Dad.
Hey, hey, Dad.
Hey, stop, what are you doing?
- I was gonna clean my tools.
- Okay, but where's your cane?
You shouldn't be out
here walking without it.
- I must've left it inside.
- Okay, all right,
well, don't move.
I'll go get it for you, okay?
- Are you gonna let her
run off like that?
- What do you mean?
- Well, in my day, a
man jumped at the chance
to help a woman.
- All right, I'll remember that.
- Why don't you keep in mind
these five simple words,
"how can I help you"?
- How can I help you?
- Well, you could put the
tools in the wheelbarrow
and wheel it to the
front of the cabin,
because the tools need
some cleaning.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey, careful, careful.
- Sorry.
- Careful.
- Here's your cane.
- Thank you.
You know, on second thought,
why don't you go in and
help Alessa in the kitchen.
That might be more your speed.
Okay, yeah.
That's a great idea.
- Yeah.
- Come on, let's just
go clean the stove.
- Yeah, great idea.
Well, I don't think your
dad and I see eye to eye.
- Yeah, well, he doesn't
really like anyone.
Plus, you are the first
person I've ever brought home.
- Hmm, so how can I help you?
- Can you spray the degreaser?
Please.
Just let it sink in for a while
and just scrub out the grease.
And maybe in the meantime,
as you're waiting,
you can just, like, clean
other areas of the kitchen,
like the window panel
or something.
- Got it.
And how long do I let it wait?
What's wrong?
- I'm okay, I'm just, um,
feeling a little drained.
I think I just need to like-
- You need your water?
Oh, hey, hey!
Alessa.
Hey, hey, wake up.
Hey.
- It's time.
- I knew it.
I'm gonna take her
to a hospital.
- No, no, no hospital.
- What do you mean no?
- The hospital will kill her.
- You're talking crazy.
- No, I'm not.
Look, just go out and
get the wheelbarrow
and the shovel and
meet me outside.
- What for?
- Just do it!
- Hey, what are you doing?
- This is not a normal fetus.
- Okay, well, if something
is wrong with her,
we take her to see a doctor.
- No, the fetus needs to eat.
If we don't feed it,
it will start sucking
on her blood to survive.
- What the fuck are
you talking about?
You just listen to me!
Ow!
You're fucking crazy.
- Okay, hunker down.
- What are you doing?
What? What are you doing?
- No, we're fishing.
She's the bait.
- You can't just leave her
on the side of the road.
- Yep, damn right I can.
Chris, how can you protect
her when you can't even fight?
Watch.
- Miss, you all right?
Ah!
- It's almost done.
- What was that?
- That's your son.
- Sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Oh god! Oh god, sir!
Sir, please, wake up!
Wake up! Help!
Help!
Sir! Oh god, not again!
Sir, please-
- Bring up the wheelbarrow.
Put her in bed.
Give her plenty of water.
Don't let her break
into a fever.
Don't worry, it doesn't
attack kin.
And give me your shirt.
- What for?
- Just give it to me!
I'll be back after sundown.
- What happened?
- You passed out.
- Where's my dad?
- He left.
- By himself?
- Yeah.
He just went for a walk.
- No, but it's getting dark,
you need to go after him.
- Okay, it's okay,
he can manage.
- That guy on the road.
Chris, did you?
- Yeah.
I saw.
He's dead.
- Oh god!
Get away from me!
- No, it's okay.
- No, get away!
- No, it's okay.
No, it's not gonna hurt me.
Oh god, I'm getting so big.
- Shh.
You don't want this
thing inside you, do you?
- No, of course not.
I've been freaking out
since this morning.
- 'Cause I think I know
how we can get rid of it,
'cause it only comes out
to attack other people.
So we just need to
get near someone,
and then when it comes
out, we cut the cord.
- But what if we cut the cord
and it just, like,
starts attacking people?
Why don't we just let it starve?
- No, Maddox said it has
to feed on human blood
or it's gonna turn
on you to survive.
- What if that's what
killed my mom?
What if we cut the cord
and it kills me too?
- All I know is you can't
give birth to this thing.
- And my dad drugged me?
- And we should go before
he gets back.
Can you walk?
- Yeah.
- Yeah? Okay.
- I think so.
- Where's my keys?
- I told you to keep her in bed!
- Maddox, yeah, I was actually
about to come and find you
and help you bury the body.
- Oh, that's a crock of shit.
I can tell by the expression
on your face,
you piece of shit.
- Don't call me that.
- Oh yeah, hey.
- Dad?
You can see?
- Yes, honey, I've been
given a second chance
to make it all right.
- You need to tell me what
happened to my mother right now!
- Your mother is alive.
- Hey, get off of her.
Chris.
Dad, what the fuck?
Chris?
Dad, why are you doing this?
Ow, it hurts, it's hurting me.
- Fuck.
Maddox!
Fuck.
- Put this on and follow me!
- No, I don't want this child.
- I don't either!
Follow me!
- What are you gonna do with
this baby once it's born?
- Why do you care?
- I'm the father.
- Oh, first you're rejecting
it, now you're laying claim?
- You know, I saw your
demon book, okay?
Did you make a deal?
Get your eyesight back
in exchange for a baby?
Oh, and just to make it very
clear, I'm not killing anyone!
- Well, that's good,
because you don't have to.
- Who are you kidding?
- Look, if I wanted
to kill someone,
I would've brought a shotgun.
The fetus does the killing!
- You are one twisted
old man. You know that?
- Yeah, well, I'm just trying
to take care of my daughter.
Something you should learn.
- How can you do this
to your neighbor?
- Scumbag cheated on his wife.
Ain't doing anything to him
he don't already deserve.
Okay, now take this.
Here's the plan, I'm gonna go up
and I'm gonna ring the bell,
and I'm gonna drop down.
When he comes out,
he'll think I've fallen.
When he bends down, hit
him in the neck.
- Ah, this is crazy.
- In the carotid artery.
And hit him hard, 'cause
he's a tough son of a bitch.
- I've never knocked
someone out in my life.
Can't you do this?
- I'm trying to teach you
something, you little shit.
- Maddox.
- Look, if you can't man
up to protect my daughter,
I'm gonna call the cops and
tell 'em you killed that driver.
Then I'm gonna take 'em and
I'm gonna show 'em the body
and your perfume-stinking shirt.
- You have thought of
everything, haven't you?
- And if you wore a condom,
we wouldn't be in this mess.
Now, let's go.
- What in the hell?
Dan, you got another
drunk at the door.
- Hit her!
- It's a woman!
- Hit her!
- What kind of monkey
business is this?
Dan!
- What's going on out here?
Maddox?
Motherfucker!
- Get her!
- Oh, shit!
I need you to help me.
- Wait just a second.
- I'm not taking any more
orders from you.
- You ain't got it in ya.
- Try me.
- How are you gonna
explain my death to Alessa?
- Listen, you forced
me to come here.
You attacked these people.
One of them shot you.
- Okay, what about the fetus?
If we don't bring them
back, it'll kill her.
- No, I have a different plan.
You see, I'm gonna
drag you to her,
and then the fetus is
gonna feed on your blood.
And then, I'm gonna
cut the cord.
- Okay, that's a good plan.
- Yeah.
- But if you were serious,
I wouldn't be standing
here breathing anymore.
- Don't take one more step.
- Are you kidding me?
I taught you how to
provide for my daughter
and this is the thanks I get?
- I am going to kill
you, I swear to God!
- You know what it's like
to live with the memory
of killing someone?
I mean, your head is
already full of demons,
especially with your father
never paying any attention
to you.
- Don't talk about my father.
- Look, besides they're
still breathing.
We haven't killed anyone.
We're saving Alessa.
- I never asked to be a father.
- I know. I know.
I'm more than happy to take
the baby off your hands.
But I need it to be born first.
Turn around.
You ain't deserving
to have kids.
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind and now I see
- When I get outta here,
I'm gonna kill you.
- You're gonna kill me?
Yeah.
You know, I was thinking
about killing you too.
But then I thought,
"You know what?
That might be too much
of a strain on Alessa,
and maybe she would miscarry."
And I'm not really
even mad at you
for pointing that shotgun at me.
I thought, you know, "By golly,
this boy's starting to
grow some balls."
But you know the real reason
you're tied up in
this wheelbarrow?
- You're a psychopath?
- No, it's because you're
not deserving of my daughter.
Not now, not ever, 'cause
you're a little piece of shit.
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Ah, ah, ah
- No.
Dad, Dad, please.
Dad, please, this isn't
like you, please-
- After all these years,
I really thought you would
grow up normal.
- Where's Chris?
I love him.
- No, sweetie.
After a while, you'll
see him as I do.
- Dad, Dad, tell me where he is.
Dad, Dad, where is he?
Just tell me. Where's Chris?
Dad!
No, no, please, Dad, don't, I
don't wanna do this anymore.
Please, please, Dad,
just take it out of me!
Just cut it out!
Oh god!
- Just a couple more feedings
and he'll be ready to be born.
- What did you do to Chris?
Did you kill him? Did
you kill him, Dad?
- If I don't see him
in the next minute,
I'll rip it off.
- I can explain everything.
- Just tell me where
Chris is now!
- Get up.
Are you watching porn while
you're with my daughter?
I'm gonna kill you once
the baby's born.
- Okay, okay, are you okay?
- Never better.
- Let me tell you the
story about your mother.
I hope you'll understand.
Ah, ah, ah
- You are mine now.
- Gotcha.
- I killed all those people?
- I didn't wanna expose
you to any of this.
- That's why you were
always so worried
about me getting pregnant?
- To protect you.
And I've struggled my whole life
with whether I did the
right thing or not.
Until today.
- Why is today any different?
- 'Cause today I realized
that your sperm donor
doesn't have the balls to take
care of anyone but himself!
No wonder his father
chose the bottle.
He's just a useless
piece of shit.
- Say that again and I
will fucking kill you.
- Oh, you're gonna
fucking kill me?
I am trying to reunite
my family!
And you are the turd in the way!
- Maddox.
Maddox.
- When the baby is born,
he's gonna kill me.
- Bring him to me.
- No.
- No, I can handle this myself.
- No, Maddox,
I want him.
Maddox!
- Dad. No, Dad, stop!
Dad, please, Dad!
Please, Dad!
No! Dad!
- Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
- Dad?
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
- Alessa,
I'm sorry.
I had no choice.
All right.
- Dad!
Dad!
- I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just need your help.
- Please, please.
- Shh.
We've got someone now.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Why isn't it coming out?
We need it to come out
so I can cut the cord.
Can you push?
- I can't control it, Chris.
It's probably not hungry.
- Fuck!
- Hey, hey, hey, wait!
Get me out of these chains!
- No, no, no, I'll
be right back.
- Oh, fuck!
What the fuck? What the fuck?
Oh my god, Dad.
Dad, no, please, Dad.
No, Dad. No, please.
Chris!
- Bring me Alessa.
- Chris!
- You said you wouldn't
hurt her.
- Never question me.
Bring her to me.
- Oh god! Chris!
Please, Dad, please.
Dad, no, Dad, Dad, please.
No, Dad, this isn't you, Dad.
- I want you to make
your mother.
- No, Dad, no, come on, Dad.
Don't you see she's
controlling you?
Dad!
Dad, please, don't!
- She's gonna help
you find Chris.
- No, Dad, please.
- Okay.
It's okay.
- No, Dad, no!
- Oh, shit!
Hey, hey, hey!
Chris.
- Alessa?
- I am
her mother, Cerise.
- If you want the fetus,
you could just take it.
- You
would sacrifice your son?
There's much darkness
inside you.
You would do well to serve me.
- And why would I do that?
- Oh, I brought
Maddox back from the dead.
Serve me and I will grant
your deepest desires.
- No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
You're just trying
to control me,
just like you're controlling
Alessa.
- Are you
not enslaved by your father?
There's such torment
in your eyes.
Let me have you and
I will release it.
- Never!
- A pity.
- Chris, Chris, Chris.
- Alessa?
- It's me. It's me.
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
- It's over.
They probably left
the forest by now.
- Don't you
want us to be a family?
- There's nothing I can do.
- You promised.
- Why did it do that?
- He protected you.
- No, we have to cut the cord.
There's gotta be
something sharp.
- No, I, um,
I think, I, I think
I wanna keep it.
- What? Why?
- When my father told me
I was born the same way
I realized that I wanna
do the same.
- Alessa, I'm,
I'm not fit to be a father.
You know my dad beat me.
That's inside me.
You saw what I did to your dad.
- You didn't have a choice.
My father traded his eyesight
to be under my mother's control.
- That doesn't matter,
I stabbed him to death.
- You saved my life.
You're a good man.
- No.
No, my dad was right.
- When my mother took
over my body,
I was able to see everything.
And I know now that your dad,
he didn't know how
to love himself.
- What if I'm not enough?
- I've seen you as a father,
and you're gonna be amazing.
- But what about our child?
What if it becomes,
you know, what if-
- Hey, hey, I'm really scared,
but I wanna do this.
I wanna do this with you.
- Take my hand.
Come.
Come to me.
- I have to
go back to save my dad.
- No, no way.
- No.
- No, Alessa, no, he's
too far gone.
- No, he's being possessed
by my mother.
This isn't like him.
- Alessa, he tried to
sacrifice our child
to let a demon into this world.
- She's the one who
wants to sacrifice him,
not my father, okay?
He's a good man.
- He took us hostage!
- You don't know him, okay?
She's controlling him.
- What if she possesses
you again?
- We stay away from the portal,
and I know how to close it.
- How?
- It stays open as long as my
father continues to serve her.
- And how do we break that bond?
- Come on.
Ah!
- Alessa?
- Oh my god!
- Just stay back.
- Alessa, your mother
and I need you.
- Oh my god, your arm.
- It's all right.
She said she'll make me whole
once we've sacrificed the fetus.
- Yeah, I won't let you do that.
- You don't even want
this baby. Move.
- We're keeping the baby.
- What?
- I'm helping Alessa,
and we're gonna raise
this child as a human.
- It's too late.
- No, it's not.
- What? Cerise rip
your arm off, huh?
She's promised to
heal it, right?
- I won't betray her again.
- But you'll betray Alessa?
All this time you wanted
me to protect her.
Well, here I am!
Now we can be a family,
all of us.
But that's your choice.
- Oh my god! Oh my god!
- Ah!
- Oh my god!
- Oh shit! Oh!
- Oh my god.
- You ain't family!
- Oh my god!
Oh my god!
- Let's go!
- Chris! Don't touch me!
- How dare you?
I sacrificed my whole life
to save you from your mother.
- No! No!
- Now it's your turn!
- Hey.
- Okay, okay.
Okay.
You sacrifice the fetus
and I will tell her
to heal his body,
give him a second chance
at fatherhood.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Okay. Okay.
I'll go. I'll go.
Ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
- Oh god.
I don't even know you.
- I'm trying to save you
from a lifetime of misery.
- It's not your choice
to make, Dad.
- I'm your father,
I know what's best.
- Dad.
Did you even love me?
Did you ever love me?
Because if you did, you
wouldn't do this.
- Without your mother,
you wouldn't be here.
Now, let's hurry.
No, don't worry, she
won't hurt you.
- Are you kidding me?
- She's ready.
- The fetus needs to eat.
- Eat it.
- You promised!
- Hey, you need some help?
Hey, are you okay?
Oh.
- God!
- Keep breathing.
It's okay, keep breathing.
- No, I don't wanna do
it, it hurts, Dad.
It hurts so much.
- I know, I know, I know.
You're doing good.
Just a little more.
Now, push, push. You got it.
Here it comes. Push.
I see the head.
Dad, I wanna hold him.
Dad, please let me hold him.
No.
- Stop!
I'll do it.
I'll serve.
- No.
No, no, Chris. No, no, don't.
- What's gotten into you?
- Cerise promised to
heal me if I serve her.
Give me the baby.
Maddox, give me my son.
- It's a trick!
- Let him pass.
- No, no, Chris, no, no, no, no.
She'll control you just
like she did my dad.
Please, Chris, don't do
this, please, please.
- You wanted to start
a family, right?
- Uh-huh.
- Once I'm healed,
we can start.
- No, no.
No.
- Why do you resist?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Ah!
- Dad, no!
Dad! No!
- Come on, Alessa,
we have to go.
Ah!
- Take him and run!
I'll hold her off!
- Give me that child!
- Never!
- Child,
leave or die.
- Leave my family alone.
- Never.
- Go back in and I'll
spare your life.
- Let me in.
- Dammit.
- Oh, Chris.
Chris.
I don't wanna kill you.
We're family now.
Ah.
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Momma's gonna
- Southwest
unit, Southwest unit.
Southwest unit.
- Come on out,
I know you're in there.
- Please don't shoot.
I got a baby.
- Come out real slow, okay?
- Please, I need you
to take the baby.
- Don't move!
- There's a demon
in the house, and she
wants the baby.
- Settle down and listen!
We have reports of a kidnapping
that took place here earlier.
- No, no, you don't
understand, it's not human,
and she is going to
kill all of us.
- We have to clear
the house first,
make sure everything's safe.
And then, we'll get you
and your baby out.
- You're not fucking
listening to me!
Behind you!
- Braxton, Braxton, do you copy?
Braxton? Hey!
Hey! Drop it!
Jesus Christ.
Hey, don't move!
- Braxton, Harding, you hit?
- Alessa? Alessa?
Wake up, we gotta figure out
how to get it back into
the portal and close it,
and we gotta do this fast.
- What's that?
- This is what your dad
used to open it.
- Give up the child or she dies.
- Chris!
- Place him inside and
you both can live.
- Okay. Okay.
Just don't hurt her.
- Chris, what are you doing?
- I'm sorry.
- No!
- Where is it?
- How do you even
read this shit?
- I don't know.
He was blind.
Close your eyes.
- Come and
let go to me.
Let us in.
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
- Goodbye, Dad.
- Should I get a shovel?
I'll get a shovel.
- You'll be good.
I know you'll be good.
Mistake or not
Your body will rot
What's growing inside
Will eat her alive
Giving her flesh,
giving her blood
The secret she hides
is beginning to flood

- Despite
this, it is happening.
Who are the children of God?
And who are the children
of the devil?
Submit yourselves
therefore to God.
Resist the devil.
- "Our Father in heaven,
hallowed by your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil."
Amen.
- Oh god.
Okay.
Uh!
- Hey, what, did I do something?
What's going on?
- What the hell?
Oh, shit.
- Hey, hey, what happened?
Did I do that?
Oh, fuck, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, I didn't realize
I was grabbing you like that.
- Oh, it's nothing. Don't
worry about it.
- I guess I really got into it.
- And you'll just have to find
a way to make it up to me.
- What?
- Hmm?
Nothing.
- You're pregnant.
- Um.
No, that, um,
that, that, that can't be right.
He, he always wears
a condom, so.
- Urine tests are 99% accurate.
He also wasn't wearing
one last night either.
Dried semen.
- This doesn't make any sense.
I saw him put on the
condom last night,
and I'm only here for
my annual checkup, so.
- I'm not trying to
imply anything.
But if it's possible,
you can check the trash
to see if the condom is
full of semen or not.
- What good will that do now?
Having a child is quite
a commitment.
Might be good to know if
your partner's up for it.
Call me if you have
any questions.
- Thanks, Doctor.
- He's your father,
what's the matter with you?
- And I'm not going.
- Everyone's
going to be there.
- I don't care.
- How can you
be so ungrateful
after everything we've
done for you?
- You're kidding me, right?
- The past is
the past, Chris.
- Okay.
- So what if you two
didn't always get along?
You were a handful growing
up, you know?
Always talking back and
being disrespectful.
He would never have
wanted me to share this,
but I can say it now
that he's passed,
your father was abused in the
same way by Grandpa Victor
and Great Grandpa Charlie.
Who knows how many
generations this has gone on.
And I'm afraid that if you
don't find a way to let go,
you'll carry this with you.
Say something, would you?
- Okay, Mom, um,
I'm not going to the funeral,
so just send me the
documents and I'll sign them.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You all right?
- Have you been lying to me?
- What are you talking about?
- I'm pregnant.
- Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
- Did you even use a
condom last night?
- Of course, you saw
me put it on.
- Okay, let's check.
- Alessa, where are you going?
- Oh.
- Oh.
- What's this?
- Yeah, I,
I was gonna tell you about that.
- You were gonna tell
me about that?
- Well, that doesn't matter.
When was your last period?
- I don't, like a week ago.
But do you do this often?
Like, do you not give
a shit about my body
and you're just not telling
me when this happened?
- Maybe the doctor's wrong.
Think about that?
- Chris, do you remember
when I told you that my body,
it doesn't work the
same as everyone else's?
- Yeah, but you still
have to produce enough,
I don't know, whatever
it is that women produce
to test positive.
- Yeah, okay.
- So what if it is-
- Yes, but things happen
faster for me, Chris!
I'm a freak.
- Okay, Alessa,
you can't get pregnant
overnight,
so just relax and breathe, okay?
And hang on, okay?
'Cause I got something
at the store today.
Here.
- You're joking, right?
Did you not hear anything
I just said?
- Yes, you're pregnant
and this will fix it.
Okay, that was 50 bucks.
- You're making decisions
about my body!
I have no idea what
that pill will do
to me in my condition, okay?
- It's only-
- This could be
life-threatening for me, Chris.
My mother died giving
birth to me, okay?
And my dad said that
if I ever got pregnant,
I needed to avoid the hospital
and go directly to him,
so that's exactly
what we're doing.
- No, you're not thinking
clearly.
- Chris, Chris, please, just,
I need to go see my
father right away.
So come on, let's go.
- Oh, no, we're not.
You know, I'm not,
you know, I'm...
- Not what?
- I'm not there yet.
- Okay, so, what?
We've just been fuck
friends this whole time?
- Hang on, I'll call
you an Uber, okay?
What's the address?
Dick.
Ah, ah, ah
- No, no, no, no.
Oh, perfect.
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
- Alessa?
Are you okay in there?
Look, I'm sorry what I
said about not taking you
to see your dad.
I really do like you, I,
I just think having a
baby is a really big deal.
Alessa?
Oh, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, wake up.
Alessa, hey, oh, come on.
Hey, you okay?
Hey.
- What, what happened?
- You fell.
Okay, I'm taking you
to a hospital.
- No, no, no, I'm fine.
- Alessa, people die from
concussions all the time.
You're going to a hospital.
- Can you just take me
to see my dad, please?
- You're-
- And I'll never ask you
for anything ever again, just.
- Your mom really died
giving birth to you?
- Oh god, I'm starving.
- Oh, here, they've
got, like, 28 grams of-
Protein.
You weren't kidding when
you said you were hungry.
- I know, it's weird.
It's like a part of me starving,
and a part of me is,
like, not hungry at all.
Why did we stop?
- I just need to pee.
- Okay.
Shit.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
- Are you okay?
- What? What's with the-
Ooh.
- Alessa?
Are you okay?
Alessa?
- Don't, don't come in, yeah!
Yeah, uh, I'm okay.
- Was that you screaming?
- Yeah, yeah.
Um, yeah, I saw a snake,
but it's gone.
It's gone, don't come in.
- All right, well,
I'll be out here.
- Hey, stop being a little
piece of shit.
You see how much sugar
this damn thing has in it?
- I don't care! I want it!
- Do you not remember
what the doctor just said?
- I just want one bite!
- Son, you have diabetes.
You can't eat sugar anymore.
No more candy bars!
- Hey, he can have this.
It's zero sugar. It'll be fine.
- Hey, man, get the
hell outta here.
- Okay, sorry.
- I gotta take a
leak, all right?
You sit right here.
You don't talk to anyone,
especially that guy,
and don't touch the candy.
- Hey, your dad's just
looking out for you.
- I hate him.
- I know how you feel.
Here, it can be our
little secret.
You look refreshed.
- Yeah, let's go.
- Guess she heard the snake too.
- Yeah.
- How long does
this trip normally take?
- A couple hours.
By the way, I should tell you
about a few things about my dad.
He's a bit particular
about certain things.
- Such as?
- Once we arrive, I'll
have to cook for him,
like immediately.
He doesn't really talk
much until he eats.
It's something to
do with his PTSD
that he had when he was
a soldier in Vietnam.
- What does eating have
to do with fighting?
- At a certain point he was
stuck between enemy lines
and he was out of rations,
so he was starving and he
couldn't really think straight,
and he ended up shooting
a friend.
- Jesus.
- So he doesn't really
talk much until he eats.
That, and he went blind from
a mortar-shell explosion, so.
What about your dad?
- Uh.
You just deny
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Who's there?
- Oh, shit!
- Dad, Dad. It's okay.
It's just me.
- Is he for real?
- Don't worry.
- Are you alone?
- He's blind, remember.
No, but we're coming up.
Dad.
It's so good to see you.
You know what? Why
don't I take that?
I got it, yeah.
This is Chris.
- Oh, hi there, sir.
- He's trying to shake
your hand, Dad.
- He's just sensitive
to certain smell.
Dad, why don't I take you in
and get you some food? Yeah?
- This is nice.
Uh, Alessa said you had a dog.
Where's he?
- Dog's dead.
- I was, uh, always more
of a cat person.
Do you think you'll
get another one?
Just one and done?
How long have you
lived out here?
It's a pretty big place.
Yeah.
I'm more of a city guy, but, um,
as a kid, you know, I spent
a lot of time in woody areas.
Oh.
Are these legit?
What was it like in Nam?
- Chris?
- Yeah.
You weren't kidding.
- Warned you.
Vietnam?
Really?
- When are you gonna tell
him you're pregnant, hm?
- I'll tell him as soon as
we're done eating, okay?
Can you help me with that?
- Oh yeah.
Ooh.
Ow! Shit!
Alessa?
Fuck.
Uh, I, um, I cut myself.
So just be careful,
there's blood.
I'll wipe it all up in a second.
Do you have any Band-Aids?
Guess not.
You all right?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
I just, um, I needed to
come out to get some air.
I was feeling so nauseous,
like a little bit nauseous.
Hey, could you do me a favor?
- Yeah, sure.
- Can you, um, throw
out the steaks?
Like all of them.
Just throw 'em in a bag and
clean up all the blood you see.
- That's a little excessive.
- No, I don't think, because
I'm pretty sure it's rotten,
so I don't want us to get sick.
- Really? I think it looks good.
- Can you just do it?
Please.
- Sure.
- Hey.
The Band-Aids are in
the far-left drawer
near the fridge.
- Got it.
- It's done.
- Yeah.
Let me see.
- It's fine.
- Did you disinfect it?
- Mm-hmm.
Found some bourbon
in the cupboard.
- Really sorry.
- It's all right.
Come on.
- Hey.
- What?
- I think you should be
done with knives today.
Yeah?
So why don't you just sit
down and try to relax,
and I am gonna make you
the best vegetable stew
you've ever had.
- Hot.
- I think she's pregnant.
- Mmm.
- There you go.
- You two make a mighty
fine stew.
- That was all her.
I think I did more
harm than good.
- Well, you know what they say,
"Man draws his strength
from a good woman."
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, would you like a drink?
- No, I can't.
- Are you gay?
- No.
- Dad.
- I have to drive.
- Mm. Alessa?
- Not this time.
Thank you, Dad.
- Geez.
Well.
Mm.
Could you open the
blinds behind you?
Warm up the room a little bit.
- Okay.
- Perfect.
- Maddox,
sir, if you don't
mind me asking,
what's it like being blind?
- I wouldn't wish this
affliction on my worst enemy.
I mean, I never even saw my
daughter's face until,
well, she's beautiful.
Well, tell me about your father.
What line of work is he in?
- That's not something I
really like to talk about.
- Well, if you're gonna
be with my daughter,
I need to know your
family history.
- Dad, I don't really-
- He liked the bottle
more than he liked me.
- Well, I'll drink to that.
Mm.
- There are no napkins,
so why don't I go do that?
- Ah!
Oh, okay.
- Dad, Dad, Dad,
Dad, what are you doing?
- What kind of idiot-
- What are you doing?
- Have you dragged
into my cabin!
- I was just, I, I was
just trying to get a fly.
- Dad, just let him
go, please, okay?
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- You better mind your
manners, boy!
- I'm sorry. It won't
happen again.
- Um.
Actually, Dad, I,
we came here
for a reason.
I was hoping that I could maybe
talk to you about something.
- Well, shoot.
- Do you remember how
you said Mommy
died giving birth to me?
- Yes.
Yes.
- Well, um, was there
anything, like, unusual
about her pregnancy that
might have caused her death?
- Honestly, it was so long ago,
I really can't remember.
- Yeah, sure, but you have
medical records, right?
Like, somewhere in the house
that maybe we could
look around for?
- Sweetheart, I can't
even match my own socks.
- Yeah.
What about the clinic
I was born in?
Like, you said that was like,
what, four hours from here?
So maybe if we left now we can-
- No, you're not leaving!
I mean,
I don't get to see
you very often.
And, uh, I tell you what,
why don't you guys settle
in for the night
and I will look for anything
I can find out about
your mother.
- That's a lovely-
- No, that's great.
Thank you, Dad.
- We can't-
- Uh, that's great, Dad.
Thank you.
- I'll go prep your room.
- Oh, no, no, please, Dad.
Let me get your cane.
Why don't you go in the
other room and relax,
and I will show Chris
the room, okay?
Thanks, Dad.
- Sure.
- Yeah, we did
not talk about-
- No, come on, let's go.
Chris, come on. Let's go.
Can you help me look, please?
- What for?
- I don't know.
Just documents, paperwork,
anything that could be,
like, medical related, okay?
- I mean, I've only
got receipts.
- Fuck!
Nothing here.
- What about the clinic
you were born at?
- It's like four hours away.
We'll never get there in time.
It's not open 24 hours
like hospitals are.
We'll never get there in time.
We'll have to go in the morning.
- What? We're staying overnight?
- Look, Chris, I'm going
through a lot
of fucked-up shit right now,
so it'd be nice if you
could be here with me.
- Are you okay?
- No, I'm not fucking okay!
- All right, come here.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Just because your mom
died giving birth to you
doesn't mean you will too.
- Fuck, maybe you were
right about the pill.
- Yeah?
All right, how about this?
After we say goodbye
to your dad,
let's head back to the city.
We'll stop by a pharmacy.
- Okay.
- It's gonna be okay.
- What is he doing now?
Hey, hey, hey, Dad, Dad.
Hey, hey, Dad.
Hey, stop, what are you doing?
- I was gonna clean my tools.
- Okay, but where's your cane?
You shouldn't be out
here walking without it.
- I must've left it inside.
- Okay, all right,
well, don't move.
I'll go get it for you, okay?
- Are you gonna let her
run off like that?
- What do you mean?
- Well, in my day, a
man jumped at the chance
to help a woman.
- All right, I'll remember that.
- Why don't you keep in mind
these five simple words,
"how can I help you"?
- How can I help you?
- Well, you could put the
tools in the wheelbarrow
and wheel it to the
front of the cabin,
because the tools need
some cleaning.
- Okay.
- Hey, hey, careful, careful.
- Sorry.
- Careful.
- Here's your cane.
- Thank you.
You know, on second thought,
why don't you go in and
help Alessa in the kitchen.
That might be more your speed.
Okay, yeah.
That's a great idea.
- Yeah.
- Come on, let's just
go clean the stove.
- Yeah, great idea.
Well, I don't think your
dad and I see eye to eye.
- Yeah, well, he doesn't
really like anyone.
Plus, you are the first
person I've ever brought home.
- Hmm, so how can I help you?
- Can you spray the degreaser?
Please.
Just let it sink in for a while
and just scrub out the grease.
And maybe in the meantime,
as you're waiting,
you can just, like, clean
other areas of the kitchen,
like the window panel
or something.
- Got it.
And how long do I let it wait?
What's wrong?
- I'm okay, I'm just, um,
feeling a little drained.
I think I just need to like-
- You need your water?
Oh, hey, hey!
Alessa.
Hey, hey, wake up.
Hey.
- It's time.
- I knew it.
I'm gonna take her
to a hospital.
- No, no, no hospital.
- What do you mean no?
- The hospital will kill her.
- You're talking crazy.
- No, I'm not.
Look, just go out and
get the wheelbarrow
and the shovel and
meet me outside.
- What for?
- Just do it!
- Hey, what are you doing?
- This is not a normal fetus.
- Okay, well, if something
is wrong with her,
we take her to see a doctor.
- No, the fetus needs to eat.
If we don't feed it,
it will start sucking
on her blood to survive.
- What the fuck are
you talking about?
You just listen to me!
Ow!
You're fucking crazy.
- Okay, hunker down.
- What are you doing?
What? What are you doing?
- No, we're fishing.
She's the bait.
- You can't just leave her
on the side of the road.
- Yep, damn right I can.
Chris, how can you protect
her when you can't even fight?
Watch.
- Miss, you all right?
Ah!
- It's almost done.
- What was that?
- That's your son.
- Sir.
Sir.
Sir.
Oh god! Oh god, sir!
Sir, please, wake up!
Wake up! Help!
Help!
Sir! Oh god, not again!
Sir, please-
- Bring up the wheelbarrow.
Put her in bed.
Give her plenty of water.
Don't let her break
into a fever.
Don't worry, it doesn't
attack kin.
And give me your shirt.
- What for?
- Just give it to me!
I'll be back after sundown.
- What happened?
- You passed out.
- Where's my dad?
- He left.
- By himself?
- Yeah.
He just went for a walk.
- No, but it's getting dark,
you need to go after him.
- Okay, it's okay,
he can manage.
- That guy on the road.
Chris, did you?
- Yeah.
I saw.
He's dead.
- Oh god!
Get away from me!
- No, it's okay.
- No, get away!
- No, it's okay.
No, it's not gonna hurt me.
Oh god, I'm getting so big.
- Shh.
You don't want this
thing inside you, do you?
- No, of course not.
I've been freaking out
since this morning.
- 'Cause I think I know
how we can get rid of it,
'cause it only comes out
to attack other people.
So we just need to
get near someone,
and then when it comes
out, we cut the cord.
- But what if we cut the cord
and it just, like,
starts attacking people?
Why don't we just let it starve?
- No, Maddox said it has
to feed on human blood
or it's gonna turn
on you to survive.
- What if that's what
killed my mom?
What if we cut the cord
and it kills me too?
- All I know is you can't
give birth to this thing.
- And my dad drugged me?
- And we should go before
he gets back.
Can you walk?
- Yeah.
- Yeah? Okay.
- I think so.
- Where's my keys?
- I told you to keep her in bed!
- Maddox, yeah, I was actually
about to come and find you
and help you bury the body.
- Oh, that's a crock of shit.
I can tell by the expression
on your face,
you piece of shit.
- Don't call me that.
- Oh yeah, hey.
- Dad?
You can see?
- Yes, honey, I've been
given a second chance
to make it all right.
- You need to tell me what
happened to my mother right now!
- Your mother is alive.
- Hey, get off of her.
Chris.
Dad, what the fuck?
Chris?
Dad, why are you doing this?
Ow, it hurts, it's hurting me.
- Fuck.
Maddox!
Fuck.
- Put this on and follow me!
- No, I don't want this child.
- I don't either!
Follow me!
- What are you gonna do with
this baby once it's born?
- Why do you care?
- I'm the father.
- Oh, first you're rejecting
it, now you're laying claim?
- You know, I saw your
demon book, okay?
Did you make a deal?
Get your eyesight back
in exchange for a baby?
Oh, and just to make it very
clear, I'm not killing anyone!
- Well, that's good,
because you don't have to.
- Who are you kidding?
- Look, if I wanted
to kill someone,
I would've brought a shotgun.
The fetus does the killing!
- You are one twisted
old man. You know that?
- Yeah, well, I'm just trying
to take care of my daughter.
Something you should learn.
- How can you do this
to your neighbor?
- Scumbag cheated on his wife.
Ain't doing anything to him
he don't already deserve.
Okay, now take this.
Here's the plan, I'm gonna go up
and I'm gonna ring the bell,
and I'm gonna drop down.
When he comes out,
he'll think I've fallen.
When he bends down, hit
him in the neck.
- Ah, this is crazy.
- In the carotid artery.
And hit him hard, 'cause
he's a tough son of a bitch.
- I've never knocked
someone out in my life.
Can't you do this?
- I'm trying to teach you
something, you little shit.
- Maddox.
- Look, if you can't man
up to protect my daughter,
I'm gonna call the cops and
tell 'em you killed that driver.
Then I'm gonna take 'em and
I'm gonna show 'em the body
and your perfume-stinking shirt.
- You have thought of
everything, haven't you?
- And if you wore a condom,
we wouldn't be in this mess.
Now, let's go.
- What in the hell?
Dan, you got another
drunk at the door.
- Hit her!
- It's a woman!
- Hit her!
- What kind of monkey
business is this?
Dan!
- What's going on out here?
Maddox?
Motherfucker!
- Get her!
- Oh, shit!
I need you to help me.
- Wait just a second.
- I'm not taking any more
orders from you.
- You ain't got it in ya.
- Try me.
- How are you gonna
explain my death to Alessa?
- Listen, you forced
me to come here.
You attacked these people.
One of them shot you.
- Okay, what about the fetus?
If we don't bring them
back, it'll kill her.
- No, I have a different plan.
You see, I'm gonna
drag you to her,
and then the fetus is
gonna feed on your blood.
And then, I'm gonna
cut the cord.
- Okay, that's a good plan.
- Yeah.
- But if you were serious,
I wouldn't be standing
here breathing anymore.
- Don't take one more step.
- Are you kidding me?
I taught you how to
provide for my daughter
and this is the thanks I get?
- I am going to kill
you, I swear to God!
- You know what it's like
to live with the memory
of killing someone?
I mean, your head is
already full of demons,
especially with your father
never paying any attention
to you.
- Don't talk about my father.
- Look, besides they're
still breathing.
We haven't killed anyone.
We're saving Alessa.
- I never asked to be a father.
- I know. I know.
I'm more than happy to take
the baby off your hands.
But I need it to be born first.
Turn around.
You ain't deserving
to have kids.
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind and now I see
- When I get outta here,
I'm gonna kill you.
- You're gonna kill me?
Yeah.
You know, I was thinking
about killing you too.
But then I thought,
"You know what?
That might be too much
of a strain on Alessa,
and maybe she would miscarry."
And I'm not really
even mad at you
for pointing that shotgun at me.
I thought, you know, "By golly,
this boy's starting to
grow some balls."
But you know the real reason
you're tied up in
this wheelbarrow?
- You're a psychopath?
- No, it's because you're
not deserving of my daughter.
Not now, not ever, 'cause
you're a little piece of shit.
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Ah, ah, ah
- No.
Dad, Dad, please.
Dad, please, this isn't
like you, please-
- After all these years,
I really thought you would
grow up normal.
- Where's Chris?
I love him.
- No, sweetie.
After a while, you'll
see him as I do.
- Dad, Dad, tell me where he is.
Dad, Dad, where is he?
Just tell me. Where's Chris?
Dad!
No, no, please, Dad, don't, I
don't wanna do this anymore.
Please, please, Dad,
just take it out of me!
Just cut it out!
Oh god!
- Just a couple more feedings
and he'll be ready to be born.
- What did you do to Chris?
Did you kill him? Did
you kill him, Dad?
- If I don't see him
in the next minute,
I'll rip it off.
- I can explain everything.
- Just tell me where
Chris is now!
- Get up.
Are you watching porn while
you're with my daughter?
I'm gonna kill you once
the baby's born.
- Okay, okay, are you okay?
- Never better.
- Let me tell you the
story about your mother.
I hope you'll understand.
Ah, ah, ah
- You are mine now.
- Gotcha.
- I killed all those people?
- I didn't wanna expose
you to any of this.
- That's why you were
always so worried
about me getting pregnant?
- To protect you.
And I've struggled my whole life
with whether I did the
right thing or not.
Until today.
- Why is today any different?
- 'Cause today I realized
that your sperm donor
doesn't have the balls to take
care of anyone but himself!
No wonder his father
chose the bottle.
He's just a useless
piece of shit.
- Say that again and I
will fucking kill you.
- Oh, you're gonna
fucking kill me?
I am trying to reunite
my family!
And you are the turd in the way!
- Maddox.
Maddox.
- When the baby is born,
he's gonna kill me.
- Bring him to me.
- No.
- No, I can handle this myself.
- No, Maddox,
I want him.
Maddox!
- Dad. No, Dad, stop!
Dad, please, Dad!
Please, Dad!
No! Dad!
- Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
- Dad?
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
- Alessa,
I'm sorry.
I had no choice.
All right.
- Dad!
Dad!
- I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just need your help.
- Please, please.
- Shh.
We've got someone now.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Why isn't it coming out?
We need it to come out
so I can cut the cord.
Can you push?
- I can't control it, Chris.
It's probably not hungry.
- Fuck!
- Hey, hey, hey, wait!
Get me out of these chains!
- No, no, no, I'll
be right back.
- Oh, fuck!
What the fuck? What the fuck?
Oh my god, Dad.
Dad, no, please, Dad.
No, Dad. No, please.
Chris!
- Bring me Alessa.
- Chris!
- You said you wouldn't
hurt her.
- Never question me.
Bring her to me.
- Oh god! Chris!
Please, Dad, please.
Dad, no, Dad, Dad, please.
No, Dad, this isn't you, Dad.
- I want you to make
your mother.
- No, Dad, no, come on, Dad.
Don't you see she's
controlling you?
Dad!
Dad, please, don't!
- She's gonna help
you find Chris.
- No, Dad, please.
- Okay.
It's okay.
- No, Dad, no!
- Oh, shit!
Hey, hey, hey!
Chris.
- Alessa?
- I am
her mother, Cerise.
- If you want the fetus,
you could just take it.
- You
would sacrifice your son?
There's much darkness
inside you.
You would do well to serve me.
- And why would I do that?
- Oh, I brought
Maddox back from the dead.
Serve me and I will grant
your deepest desires.
- No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.
You're just trying
to control me,
just like you're controlling
Alessa.
- Are you
not enslaved by your father?
There's such torment
in your eyes.
Let me have you and
I will release it.
- Never!
- A pity.
- Chris, Chris, Chris.
- Alessa?
- It's me. It's me.
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
- It's over.
They probably left
the forest by now.
- Don't you
want us to be a family?
- There's nothing I can do.
- You promised.
- Why did it do that?
- He protected you.
- No, we have to cut the cord.
There's gotta be
something sharp.
- No, I, um,
I think, I, I think
I wanna keep it.
- What? Why?
- When my father told me
I was born the same way
I realized that I wanna
do the same.
- Alessa, I'm,
I'm not fit to be a father.
You know my dad beat me.
That's inside me.
You saw what I did to your dad.
- You didn't have a choice.
My father traded his eyesight
to be under my mother's control.
- That doesn't matter,
I stabbed him to death.
- You saved my life.
You're a good man.
- No.
No, my dad was right.
- When my mother took
over my body,
I was able to see everything.
And I know now that your dad,
he didn't know how
to love himself.
- What if I'm not enough?
- I've seen you as a father,
and you're gonna be amazing.
- But what about our child?
What if it becomes,
you know, what if-
- Hey, hey, I'm really scared,
but I wanna do this.
I wanna do this with you.
- Take my hand.
Come.
Come to me.
- I have to
go back to save my dad.
- No, no way.
- No.
- No, Alessa, no, he's
too far gone.
- No, he's being possessed
by my mother.
This isn't like him.
- Alessa, he tried to
sacrifice our child
to let a demon into this world.
- She's the one who
wants to sacrifice him,
not my father, okay?
He's a good man.
- He took us hostage!
- You don't know him, okay?
She's controlling him.
- What if she possesses
you again?
- We stay away from the portal,
and I know how to close it.
- How?
- It stays open as long as my
father continues to serve her.
- And how do we break that bond?
- Come on.
Ah!
- Alessa?
- Oh my god!
- Just stay back.
- Alessa, your mother
and I need you.
- Oh my god, your arm.
- It's all right.
She said she'll make me whole
once we've sacrificed the fetus.
- Yeah, I won't let you do that.
- You don't even want
this baby. Move.
- We're keeping the baby.
- What?
- I'm helping Alessa,
and we're gonna raise
this child as a human.
- It's too late.
- No, it's not.
- What? Cerise rip
your arm off, huh?
She's promised to
heal it, right?
- I won't betray her again.
- But you'll betray Alessa?
All this time you wanted
me to protect her.
Well, here I am!
Now we can be a family,
all of us.
But that's your choice.
- Oh my god! Oh my god!
- Ah!
- Oh my god!
- Oh shit! Oh!
- Oh my god.
- You ain't family!
- Oh my god!
Oh my god!
- Let's go!
- Chris! Don't touch me!
- How dare you?
I sacrificed my whole life
to save you from your mother.
- No! No!
- Now it's your turn!
- Hey.
- Okay, okay.
Okay.
You sacrifice the fetus
and I will tell her
to heal his body,
give him a second chance
at fatherhood.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Okay. Okay.
I'll go. I'll go.
Ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
- Oh god.
I don't even know you.
- I'm trying to save you
from a lifetime of misery.
- It's not your choice
to make, Dad.
- I'm your father,
I know what's best.
- Dad.
Did you even love me?
Did you ever love me?
Because if you did, you
wouldn't do this.
- Without your mother,
you wouldn't be here.
Now, let's hurry.
No, don't worry, she
won't hurt you.
- Are you kidding me?
- She's ready.
- The fetus needs to eat.
- Eat it.
- You promised!
- Hey, you need some help?
Hey, are you okay?
Oh.
- God!
- Keep breathing.
It's okay, keep breathing.
- No, I don't wanna do
it, it hurts, Dad.
It hurts so much.
- I know, I know, I know.
You're doing good.
Just a little more.
Now, push, push. You got it.
Here it comes. Push.
I see the head.
Dad, I wanna hold him.
Dad, please let me hold him.
No.
- Stop!
I'll do it.
I'll serve.
- No.
No, no, Chris. No, no, don't.
- What's gotten into you?
- Cerise promised to
heal me if I serve her.
Give me the baby.
Maddox, give me my son.
- It's a trick!
- Let him pass.
- No, no, Chris, no, no, no, no.
She'll control you just
like she did my dad.
Please, Chris, don't do
this, please, please.
- You wanted to start
a family, right?
- Uh-huh.
- Once I'm healed,
we can start.
- No, no.
No.
- Why do you resist?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Ah!
- Dad, no!
Dad! No!
- Come on, Alessa,
we have to go.
Ah!
- Take him and run!
I'll hold her off!
- Give me that child!
- Never!
- Child,
leave or die.
- Leave my family alone.
- Never.
- Go back in and I'll
spare your life.
- Let me in.
- Dammit.
- Oh, Chris.
Chris.
I don't wanna kill you.
We're family now.
Ah.
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Momma's gonna
- Southwest
unit, Southwest unit.
Southwest unit.
- Come on out,
I know you're in there.
- Please don't shoot.
I got a baby.
- Come out real slow, okay?
- Please, I need you
to take the baby.
- Don't move!
- There's a demon
in the house, and she
wants the baby.
- Settle down and listen!
We have reports of a kidnapping
that took place here earlier.
- No, no, you don't
understand, it's not human,
and she is going to
kill all of us.
- We have to clear
the house first,
make sure everything's safe.
And then, we'll get you
and your baby out.
- You're not fucking
listening to me!
Behind you!
- Braxton, Braxton, do you copy?
Braxton? Hey!
Hey! Drop it!
Jesus Christ.
Hey, don't move!
- Braxton, Harding, you hit?
- Alessa? Alessa?
Wake up, we gotta figure out
how to get it back into
the portal and close it,
and we gotta do this fast.
- What's that?
- This is what your dad
used to open it.
- Give up the child or she dies.
- Chris!
- Place him inside and
you both can live.
- Okay. Okay.
Just don't hurt her.
- Chris, what are you doing?
- I'm sorry.
- No!
- Where is it?
- How do you even
read this shit?
- I don't know.
He was blind.
Close your eyes.
- Come and
let go to me.
Let us in.
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah
- Goodbye, Dad.
- Should I get a shovel?
I'll get a shovel.
- You'll be good.
I know you'll be good.
Mistake or not
Your body will rot
What's growing inside
Will eat her alive
Giving her flesh,
giving her blood
The secret she hides
is beginning to flood

this, it is happening.
Who are the children of God?

Submit yourselves
therefore to God.
Resist the devil.
