Amy (2013) - full transcript

( Breathing heavy,
running )

( Dramatic music playing )

( Sobbing )

( High-pitched tone )

Do you abide in god,
and in all the commandments
from his holy scripture?

Yes, I do.

( Soft music playing )

( Laughing )

You can't get me!

( Church bell rings )

Can you renounce the devil,
the world...



And your own flesh and blood?

Yes, I can.

( Choir music playing )

Amy...

Amy, uh, would you--

would you join me
at church this Sunday?

( Soft music playing )

Do you believe in Jesus Christ
as the son of god?

Yes, I do.

( Choir music continues )

In the name of the father,
the son and the holy spirit...

You are baptized.

( Choir music fades up )

I make an oath to never do
anything against god's will.



I also promise to stay
with my community
for the rest of my life...

And to make myself an example
for the generations to come.

Congregation (o.S.):
Amen.

( Soft music playing )

( Music stops )

( Eerie music playing )

Hello?

There someone out there?

( Sighs )

Okay.

( Laughing )

Very funny.

You wanted to see
if I'd be afraid?

You were.

Mm-hm.

Go on, laugh.

Amy...

You look so beautiful
when you smile like that.

I just forget everything
when you smile like that.

The color purple looks
lovely with your skin.

And your eyes are brighter
when you're in a better mood.

( Soft music continues )

What just happened?

I don't know, I feel
like somebody's here.

No, there's no one here...
Except us.

Well, i-- I felt like
I saw something,
or someone, didn't you?

Listen, Amy, this
is a very vast wilderness
we're sitting in here...

And there's a very remote
possibility for something
to bolt out of the blue...

And us not be aware of it.

I don't think you
understand, Robert.

There's something
very wrong here.

( Faint rustling )

Look, Robert!
There, look at that!

There's a shadow, look.

Amy, I don't understand
what happened to you.

I mean, if you didn't want me
to put my hand on you...

You could have just told me.

Instead you pretend like
there's shadows and things
in the bushes.

Why do you tell me
these things?

Do you think I would come
all this way to meet you...

If I didn't like it?

Why would I tell lies?

I don't know.

I didn't... really.

I do want to be with you,
Robert... very much.

I'm sorry, Amy.

I really love you.

( Soft music playing )

( Music stops )

( Faint, distant whispers )

What is going on?

Mid-afternoon appearing
like night.

This is odd.

I told you there was something
wrong in this area, I know it.

I feel it, let's--
let's move from here.

Don't worry, Amy,
you're safe with me.

Don't let go of my hand,
okay?

Follow me.

Okay?
Okay.

( Eerie music playing )

( Inspirational music playing )

I heard Mr. Yager made a new
buggy for his new horse...

For the craft festival.

Oma, are these the ones?

Yes, yes, that's them.

Soak them until you hang
all the wet ones.

( Soft music playing )

You must have a long life,
Robert.

Well, how do you know that?

Because out in the east
that's what they say...

When someone comes and you've
just been thinking about them.

How are you, Robert?

I'm fine, Mrs. Miller,
very well, thank you,
how are you?

Good, by the grace of god.

And you, grandmother,
how are you?

I'm quite well,
thank you for asking.

How is everything in your
family, Robert?

All good,
by his wonderful grace.

The reason I came here today
is to tell you that--

on my way back home last
evening, I met your son, Daniel.

He, uh--

well, he's completely changed.

I wasn't even able to identify
him until he waved
his hand at me.

Robert (o.S.):
I had stopped off for a drink
on my way back home.

That's where I saw him.

He seemed happy, he was
surrounded by many friends.

( Eerie music playing )

Robert (o.S.):
The Daniel that you
or I know...

Isn't it a beautiful day?
Yes, it is.

I wonder if we'll see
Amy today.

I think we might.

I hope so, I wonder if she's
working on the quilt.

I think there was one.

I hope so.

Amy, how are you?

Um, good.

Are you still working
on that beautiful quilt?

Um, yes, we are.

Is she helping with it?

Um, she is, yes,
she is.

We used that bed design
that you guys gave us.

Oh, nice.

So we almost finished
the quilt.

Guests for the wedding
can add something.

That's wonderful.

But we'll see you
on Sunday, yes?

Yes, see you at the wedding.

Enjoy your day.

Wasn't it wonderful
to see Amy? Yes.

* leaves to fall

Amy.

Rebecca...

Rebecca's possessed.

Rebecca's possessed!

I-- I know it, i--

I know it sounds crazy,
but you have to believe me,
I'm not lying.

Rebecca's possessed.

Amy, we're all god's children.
That could never happen.

But I know what I saw.

Even if what you say is true,
you have nothing to fear.

Our community will never conceal
the possessed, Amy, never.

You must understand this.

She's correct,
heed your mother's words.

I do not expect you to talk
about anybody in vain.

We will not speak
about this again.

Trust me, my child,
god is with us.

Everything will be
all right in time.

( Ominous music playing )

Robert.

Would you believe me
if I told you something?

That depends.

I'm serious.

What is it
that you want to say?

Answer me, would you believe me
if I told you something--

something unbelievable?

I would.

Now tell me.

Do you believe that souls exist?

I believe god exists.

And souls,
you believe they exist?

Yes, I do.

Evil souls exist as well,
Robert. Isn't that right?

Amy, that is what
you wanted to say?

That evil souls exist?

Robert...

Rebecca is possessed.

What?

You're serious.

Oh, come on,
don't be childish, Amy.

I'm not joking, Robert.

Rebecca is possessed,
I saw an evil soul in her.

Listen, Amy...

There is no such thing as
you're talking about, okay?

She is not possessed.

So you have to stop
talking like that.

I have to go.

( Ominous music playing )

Oma, how did you feel
after visiting Rebecca?

I'm not aware of her problem.

Even the doctors don't know
what's wrong with her.

But I did notice one thing.

You are right.
She definitely isn't normal.

Thank you,
for confirming it.

Your great-grandfather,
Michael...

Has been a bishop for nearly
45 years in our community.

If anyone knows something
about this, he will.

But I don't understand why
I'm the only one that can
see evil souls...

And no one else can.

We will go see him
to see what he will say.

( Soft music playing )

I see only one possibility.

Do you remember, Claire,
Amy was born on a cloudy day?

Full of lightning and thunder.

( Thunder rolling )

With sight, it's a spark
of light we all witnessed.

I don't understand, how does
that explain what's happening
to me now?

My dear child, the sight
of such a powerful spark...

Has the power to make any
newborn baby blind.

It is harmful
even to the older ones.

But somehow you were
normal in every way.

Smiling and full of life.

You've been given
a rare gift.

This incident enlightened
your inner eyes...

Allowing you to see
unusual things...

That no ordinary person
can witness.

No wonder, he's right.

( Dramatic music playing )

I don't see why I have
to keep quiet about Rebecca.

I don't have a choice,
I'm forced to.

Are you even listening
to what I'm saying, Robert?

I can't just let her go like
this, I have to do something
about it.

You don't have
to do anything.

There's no such thing
as you're talking about.

Do you believe
that souls exist?

We already discussed that.

I told you that
I believe god exists.

And I told you that evil
souls exist, as well...

And I've seen it.

I've seen it in Rebecca.

Okay, let us assume
that what you say is true.

Then why can't others see
that evil soul in her?

Why is it only you?
Let go of me!

I am trying to make you
understand that there
is nothing like that.

I can't believe you
don't understand.

That you don't believe me.

Let's just say
what you say is true.

If nothing like that exists,
then what is it that I see...

And why is it that I only
see it in Rebecca?

I don't see it
in anyone else...

Not my mother,
my aunts, or you.

Why not anyone else?

You can't understand and you
never will understand...

Until you go through
my situation.

Amy!

Hold on!

Okay.

Hi, auntie!
Hi, Amy!

Is Martha home?

Uh, yeah, she's inside.

We've been so busy this week...

Baking and cooking for the
Miller's wedding next week.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, is Rebecca with you?

No, Rebecca has not been
feeling well all week.

Oh.
Rebecca's at home.

When she's at home,
is she alone?

Yes, Rebecca is home alone
today, she's resting.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go see Martha.

Okay.
Have a nice day.

You, too.

( Ominous music playing )

( Flies buzzing )

( Marbles clanking )

( Gasps )

By the end ball,
everyone will fall.

( Laughs )

( Dramatic music playing )

I have not come across any such
incidents as you've described
so far.

But let me check.

Perhaps I might find
some clues.

This book explains why
any evil possession happens.

Evil can only take over when
somebody gives way to it.

It cannot approach one who
walks in the ways of god.

But i--
I don't understand.

I mean, our community believes
that we're different from the
rest of the world...

Because we follow the way
of god so firmly.

Isn't that so?

No, actually it is
not correct.

What do you mean? I thought that
if we follow the ways of god,
that we're fre--

here, let me give you
one simple case.

The current generation,
forgetting the scripture.

It states very clearly, keep
away from the lust of the flesh.

And what are they doing?

They are satisfying
their lust of the flesh...

Breaking the barriers of
rumspringa, running around.

Well, most come back
after rumspringa.

The holy scripture
denies somebody...

Having a physical relationship
before the marriage.

And have many people fouled.

Isn't that giving way
to evil?

So why does god allow
this evil in the world?

God does not allow evil,
my child.

The youth today are addicted
to drugs, which is not accepted.

It does not mean that god's
permitted them to do so.

Here, listen.

For god created the light...

And the action of the light
gave darkness.

Don't you see, it's only the
absence of god in their lives...

Which allows them to go ahead
with these unpleasant
activities.

What we call evil,
nobody's created it.

Ultimately god tests us.

( Soft music playing )

( Music changes )

( Dramatic music playing )

( Hawk shrieks )

( Eerie music playing )

Rebecca. No!

( Solemn music playing )

( Preacher giving funeral
sermon )

( Hawk shrieks )

Amy (v.O.):
Rebecca. Rebecca.

Amy (v.O.):
Rebecca!

Preacher (v.O.):
May Rebecca's soul rest
in eternal peace.

Amy (v.O.):
The entire village gathered
at Rebecca's funeral.

Everyone was grieving
her death.

But I'm worried.

I've seen two more possessed.

I hope my great-grandfather
shows me the way.

Robert (o.S.):
A little more.

Looks like your dream
of building this barn...

Is really starting to come true,
my brother.

Almost.

When we move from the old barn
to this one, we'll have room
for eight new cows.

New cows are fine, what about
the new member in our family?

Not just our parents,
even our grandfather
was asking this morning.

When are you getting married,
Robert?

You have been courting
for 15 months now.

Yes, I know.

I just need more time.

Finish this up, please,
I've got more chores to do.

Opa?

Opa.

( Dramatic music playing )

Auntie, how can you say that?

I've seen two follow
Rebecca today.

How many more
do I have to see?

I have to do something.

I'm as much to blame if I keep
quiet, I have to do something.

You will tell us if you
find a way out of this.

We will stand by you,
I promise you that.

I've lost the only person
who could show me the way out.

My great-grandfather.

I wish I didn't have
to go through all this.

These experiences...

Seeing what I see.

I've already lost your brother,
I don't want to lose you, too.

We don't want you to be shunned
like Daniel. If you continue--

I know, I just--

I can't help what I see.

( Somber music playing )

Again, you talk about the trees,
saying they speak of death.

But do I look like an idiot?

Listen, Amy, I don't understand
why you want to put yourself
into some kind of trouble...

For something that's not real.

Not real?

You think I'm just
creating this?

I don't get it.

You and I, we're fine,
our families are fine,
but if you keep this--

how selfish can you be?

Are our families or just you
and I more important
than everything?

Everything?
Than our whole community?

Than the people that are being
killed gradually by the evil?

The last thing I want to do
is have this kind of
conversation with you.

You need to take my
advice seriously, otherwise--

say it.

Well?

Say it.

Well, I can't continue
with this relationship...

If you won't give up this
behavior of yours.

I see.

Listen... Amy...

I don't want to spend my life
arguing with you.

I don't, either.

But the truth is, Robert...

If you can give up our
relationship this easily...

Then I'm sorry,
I can't stop you.

In fact, I don't see the point
in continuing a relationship...

Where the person doesn't believe
me, nor understands my pain...

Or refuses to do either.

So...

So, what?

Nothing, um...

I was... just wondering.

All right, goodbye.

( Soft music playing )

( Music fades down )

Why?

Why me?

I don't want to see
or hear anymore.

I don't want to see
everybody die.

And you have to stop
the fall.

Please stop the fall.

You see the possessed...

And hear the voices
of the unknown. Yes?

Who are you?

Let's say I am someone who sees
those who see the possessed.

You're english.

What are you doing here?

My name is Christopher.

I'm the funeral director
in town...

It's the only time
your village ever needs us.

I-- I have to---
I have to go.

Amy.

( Ominous music playing )

I can help you.

There is no use fighting
those who are possessed.

You must find the master...

The one who is placing these
souls into the innocent...

And stop him.

Someone sending souls?

I don't understand,
why would somebody do that?

If you want your answer...

Be at the house 200 yards
south of the cemetery.

After sunset.

( Ominous music playing )

Well, I have not witnessed
any such instances myself...

But yes, I have heard
about exorcists and rooting
out of evil spirits.

Mostly from my childhood.

So, it's true.

They can bring out
evil souls and demons.

There are, I suppose,
legitimate exorcists...

But most of them
are just charlatans...

Preying on those looking
for something, anything.

I don't know, I'm sorry,
but my knowledge is very
limited about this.

It's okay, oma.

I have to know more.

Why do you want to know?

I-- I was just hoping someone
could be of help.

( Soft music playing )

That's all.

( Dramatic music playing )

Christopher (o.S.):
Welcome, Amy.

How did you know it was me?

Come.

Christopher (o.S.):
Do not be afraid.

I'm here to help you.

Sit.

The person you are searching
for knows everything about
your village.

They do?

I must do something very
powerful, Amy...

And I need your help.

Tell me what
you need me to do.

I need you to close your eyes.

This doll represents the
person we are looking for.

While I chant...

I need you to look at every
male face in your village.

See them in your mind.

When I stop my chanting...

And when I look at this doll...

If that image in your mind
is the face that we are
looking for...

This doll shall fall.

When that doll falls...

That person will be struck
across his face...

Leaving a Mark,
a noticeable Mark.

You must go and confirm this
Mark upon this person...

And be back to me
before sunset tomorrow...

So that I may know
how to proceed.

Okay.

I'm ready.

Close your eyes.

Open your mind.

( Deep chanting )

( Chanting continues )

( Chanting intensifies )

Freeze!

Look.

Freeze that image
in your mind.

Who do you see?

I don't know, it's--
it's blank.

It's absolutely a blank.
I--

it-- it was no one when
you stopped chanting.

Look in the darkness.

Look in the darkness.

See the face!

The doll did not fall.

Maybe it's not a man.

What do you mean?

Maybe... it's a woman.

A woman.

How do we find out?

I must do the same ritual,
but with a female doll.

Okay.

I'm ready.

It can only happen...
Moments after sunset.

And those moments
just before sunrise.

Bef-- before s--

( sighs )

This is ridiculous.

I can't believe
I wasted my time.

That I actually thought this
would give me the answer.

You can't fool me anymore.

What do you mean?

You know, it's really easy
to take advantage of someone
who's vulnerable.

I-- I don't believe
in any of this...

And I especially can't believe
that I was stupid enough
to come all this way.

I've witnessed enough
nonsense already.

This is not nonsense.

Dolls, sunrise, sunset,
chanting, lemons?

It's all garbage.

I hope you're happy, you took
advantage of someone who really
needed your help.

( Breathing heavy,
running )

( Dramatic music playing )

( Sobbing )

( Somber music playing )

Welcome, Amy.

I've been expecting you.

How did you know
I'd be back?

I knew you'd come back...

Like you know you are
possessed right now.

You must be the only person
on the face of the earth...

Who knows of their
own possession.

Well, that's not something
to be proud of.

I understand.

It must be very difficult
for you to accept.

There are many practices
we could do...

To control the soul
inside you.

If there are,
please teach me.

No.

It takes a long time
for a soul to grow inside.

We must concentrate
on the master.

That one who is sending these
evil souls into your villagers.

We will do the same ritual,
but this time with
a female doll.

And as I chant, I want you
to see the faces of every
female in your village.

Young, old, near, far.

Do you understand me?

Yes.
Close your eyes.

Open your mind.

( Deep chanting )

( Chanting intensifies )

Freeze!

Freeze that image
in your mind!

Blank again.
The doll didn't fall.

Go through the blankness!
Go! Look! Go deeper!

It's just-- it's smoke.
It's just--

go to the smoke!
Go! Go into the smoke.

Further!
Further into the smoke!

Go! Further!

Further!

See a face.

( Gasps )
Don't open your eyes!

Don't open your eyes.
What do you see?

What is it?

I s--

I see a bloody hand that's
turned into a barren tree.

Rebecca.

Rebecca.

When the tree became barren,
Rebecca died.

Do you know this tree?

Do you know where it is?

We must go.
Quickly.

We haven't much time.

Odd.

This is dead.

Come here.
Look at this.

It's the same thread.

( Thread twangs )
What happened?

It's alive.

I don't know.

I'm sorry, my limited powers,
I can't save you or your
village.

Well, what do you mean?

I mean,
I can't control this.

This is beyond me.

You have to. I mean,
what are we gonna do?

What's gonna happen to us?

But...
But what?

There is one thing
that I can try...

And I don't even know
if it'll work.

Well, we have to
if there's a chance?

I must use you as my weapon,
are you willing to do that?

Yes.
Are you sure?

Yes, if there's a chance.

Are you absolutely sure?
Yes!

Okay.

Okay.

( Dramatic music playing )

I know--

I know what I must do.
What?

I know what I have to do.

I have to find the ashes...

Of the body of the soul
that's in you...

And then I can rid you
of this evil spirit.

Ashes, no Christian cremates
their bodies...

That means the chances of saving
our village are absolutely
impossible.

No, no, no, this body, it's not
of this amish county.

It's outside its perimeter,
no, this is not impossible.

No, this isn't impossible.
Take this.

Amy, this will protect you
of being possessed from this
evil spirit.

Do not lose it under any
circumstance! Do you
understand me?

Yes!
Are you sure?

Promise.

Have faith.

I will.

Have faith.

I do.

I'll return as soon as I can,
as soon as I can.

Okay.

( Soft music playing )

Amy!

Amy, I've been looking for you.

Listen, Amy, I'm so sorry
for everything that's happened.

For what I said.

Amy, I know what a great
heaviness you've been through.

The pain you've suffered,
I just didn't understand.

I guess... I should explain
by saying that there's somebody
at home.

He's not normal,
I'm certain of it.

Did you hear what
I said, Amy?

Amy, my grandfather
is possessed.

I think my grandfather
is possessed.

( Eerie music playing )

( Man giggling )

Amy! Amy! What's wrong?

Why did you run away like that?

Please, tell me.

What's wrong with my
grandfather?

He's possessed, isn't he?

Let me show you something.

Look at this.

So what is it?

This tree represents
one of our villagers.

If you look around, you'll see
more like this, that's what I
was trying to tell you earlier.

Each tree represents
each possessed person.

How can that be?

When the tree falls,
so does the person.

So is one of these my
grandfather?

I'm sorry, Robert, yes.

But it's not just your
grandfather.

For sure, everyone will fall
sooner or later before
this fall.

Robert.

I have to tell you something.

What is it?

Never mind.

What's in your hand?
Nothing.

Show me what's in your hand.

I'm sorry.

Robert! What hap-- what
happened?

Are you okay?

Robert!

( Eerie music playing )

( Soft music playing )

( No audible dialogue )

( Eerie music playing )

What is this?

Why aren't you properly dressed?

Bare feet?

If you're hungry, you can get
properly dressed before you
leave your room.

( Dramatic music playing )

John! John, the table!

The table's on fire!

What is wrong with you?

You've become so negligent about
everything, everything!

If we hadn't been here,
the whole house could have
caught fire.

I...did...not...do...it.

Stop, now!

Stop this nonsense.

Something is wrong here, I think
we need prayers immediately.

You're right,
something is wrong.

Amy, go get the Bible
by the window.

( Solemn music playing )

( Screaming )

( Eerie music playing )

( Demonic whispering )

Amy!

( Demonic whispering continues )

( Choir music playing )

How'd I get here?

I summoned you.

I've got the ashes.

So how do you feel?

Strange.

I think I lost the bead...

When I showed Robert
the barren tree.

The soul's growing inside me.

Mm.

( Deep chanting )

How do you feel now?

Much better.

Good.

I was happy
that I got the ashes.

Faith.

I know who you are.

Man's voice:
And I know you burnt my body.

Tell me who your master is.

He is the most powerful.

Christopher (o.S.):
Tell me who your master is.

Never.

Tell me who your master is!

Never!

Your master is a coward if you
cannot tell me his name.

( Chuckles )

You are a foolish man.

Do you want to see his power?

Do you want to feel his power?

Do you want to feel his power!

Do you want to see his power!

( Growling )

Let her go!

Stop!
Stop or she'll die!

Amy! Amy!

I'm not Amy.

Let me go to my master!

What are you doing?
Stop it!

I'm trying to save her!

And your village!
And your grandfather!

Take me to your master!
Master!

Take me to your master!
Master!

Stop it! Amy! Amy!

No, let her go! Let her go!
Only I must follow her.

You must trust me
or she will die!

Somebody is using the barren
trees to kill your villagers.

Yes, I know, I've been there.

You must take these strands
of Amy's hair and these ashes.

You must find the tree that
represents her...

And encircle the tree with
these ashes before the
last leaf falls.

How will I know which
tree is hers?

Those strands of hair
will lead you to it.

Now go quickly!
Save your love!

( Wind blowing )

( Dramatic music playing )

( Music continues )

( Music continues )

( Ghostly growling )

Enough!

Welcome, Chris,
I'm glad you're here.

I've been waiting for someone
to come along who might
challenge my abilities.

So, we meet.

( Chuckles )

Cute toy.

You... are but a mere child
compared to my experiences.

Oh, Chris, you may have more
years ahead of me in
experience...

But I assure you,
I am a master of my craft.

Daniel?

Daniel.

Daniel, my brother.

I cannot speak to her,
for I've been shunned.

I'm not allowed to
speak to her...

Though I do love my sister.

This is how you show your love?

You of all people should
understand...

That one's power is only
magnified when they use
it on those they love.

( Eerie music playing )

Right here.

Why them?

Because I hate them.

Because of what they did.

Chris, do you know I'm not
the only person in the world
like this?

No, no, and this,
this is not my fault.

I just wanted understanding,
but they wouldn't do that.

No, no, they--

they punished me.

They rejected me,
they shunned me, Chris.

I had no hand on my shoulders,
no one to wipe the tears
from my eyes.

No, no.

And only because I wanted to
give the love in my heart to
another man.

Now, now I just want to give
back what was given to me.

Maybe a little worse.

( Demonic whispering )

God, her faith is true!

Please, show me a sign!

( Eerie music playing )

( Dramatic music playing )

Wait! Wait!

I could talk to them and they
may take you back.

No, it's too late for that.

There's only time for revenge.

I can't let you do that.

I'd like to see you try
and stop me, Chris.
I really would.

I'm giving you all of my power.

With a single touch,
he will turn to ash.

( Dramatic music playing )

No, this wasn't supposed
to happen!

( Howling )

( Soft music playing )

Amy.

Amy.

Amy... it's okay.

It's okay.

You're all right.
You're all right.

( Soft music continues )

Robert, oh, my god!

Oh, my god!
What happened?

What happened?

Oh, are you okay?
Oh, my god!

No, it's--

are you okay?

It's proof of his love
for you.

May you be happy together.
