Boogeyman (2012) - full transcript

- Oh, man.
- Man.

Ton of bricks.
Baby.

Come on.

Oh!

I don't need your help.

He's messed up.

Kind of looks like you do,
jacob.

Just dust off your skirts
and get back in the huddle.

What was that?

It's the sound of you
crapping yourself.

Uh, come on, man.



Where you going?

Jacob, we need even teams.

Hey, jacob.
Forgettin' somethin'?

No, don't!

Ooh, nice shot.

No more phone for jacob.

Is he going in?

Jake, where you going?

Jake, didn't you hear
what happened to eric?

You're a goner, man.
You're a goner.

Man, if skinner opens
the door, he's gonna puke.

Nah. The old freak's dog'll
bark, send him running.

That's not a dog.
It's skinner...

eating.



But what's he eating?

It sounds like a wood-chipper.

Animals.

That's why they
call him skinner.

Brings animals from
traps in the forest

and eats them alive
in his attic.

Don't do it!

Jacob, come on, man.
Come back.

That's pretty creepy.

Come on, jake! Hurry up!

Come on, we got a game
to finish.

Dude, hurry up, man!

Grab your phone and come on!

Dude, hurry up.

We're getting super-bored.

Come on, jake.
Hurry up.

It's getting cold.

Oh, man.

Come on, guys.
It's skinner.

Come on, guys, the skinner.

Isaac, just leave him.

Hey! You!

Come here!

Jake!

Jake. He's here.
Skinner is here!

I'm coming.

Come on!

Hey!

What the hell are you doing?

Oh, my god!

My god! What did you
do? What did you do?

But, brother...

...and then
he did say unto him,

"you're not
my brother's keeper."

The lord cried out and said,

"your brother's blood
cries up from the ground."

Do you know?
Do you know the way?

It's laid out before you,
but you fought the way.

You stumble and stagger
like the dead.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

No, excuse me.
I was there.

Two old grandmas,

at least, like, 89 years old,

and they was punching
and screaming.

Right. Punching?

Yes, punching. There were
false teeth flying,

blood on the bridge table.

It was... really?

Yeah.

What were they fighting over?

I don't know.

Something about
irritable bowel syndrome.

What?

Gross.

Gross.

That didn't happen,

but thank you very much
for trying it, mike.

Yes, it did. Okay?
I was there. Okay?

Doesn't compare to the
craziness in this town, though.

This is true.
Ooh!

This is true.
Do you remember, um,

last week we had to
save a kitten?

Aw. It took all
my policing skills.

And the puppies.
Pete, with the ear.

Puppies were brutal.

Puppies.
Ferrets.

I love ferrets.

Car 17, we got a 154

on adams road at the city limit.

Ambulance on the scene.
Over.

Ooh, a dead body.

That should make for a
colorful evening for once.

17, do you read? Over.

Hmm.

Uh, that's a 10-4, dispatch.

We're headed to adams,
on the edge of town.

Over.

Are you all right?
Yeah.

Just the sandwich?
Yeah.

Yeah, it was the sandwich.

Sorry.

Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.

Okay, guys, guys.
Can we get back?

There's nothing
to see here, okay?

Thank you.

Bit late to the party,
huh, samuels?

Hey, I am the party.

Back it up.
Back it up, people.

Skinner's place, huh?

Saul peters.

Only skinner terrified kids,

which, uh, I take it
you still are.

Yeah, well, you know me, chief.

I'm just a big kid at heart.

Apparently,
I'm not the only one.

So what do you...
You think he fell or...

Hmm.

Angle like that?

Unless he fell off a plane.

Who would do this to him?

He wasn't exactly popular.

We'll know more when the
coroner finishes her report.

For now, get inside.

See if there's
anything to disprove

my fell-from-the-sky theory.

Yeah.

Is she okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I... I think
she'll be all right.

Well, tell her to get
her head out of her ass.

We're supposed to be
the damn police here.

Right. Hey, chief,

can we get these kids
out of here?

There's some stuff
they shouldn't see.

Allow me.

You kids want to learn
about pepper spray?

No, no.
That's all right.

Nothing to see here.
Go home!

Oh.

Oh, man.

Ohh.

This is... disgusting.

Sad.

Uh, some of these newspapers
are really old.

Groceries aren't so fresh!

"A shocked nation.

Iindsay checks into rehab."

Mike?

Michael?

Who do we have here, huh?

Nice shot!

♪ Chicken love you,
doo-doo-doo ♪

hey, dudes, daddy is home.

And guess what.
Because he loves you so much,

he brought you some...

think you could
call that chicken...

Chicken.

What up, dad?

What up, isaac?
How you doing, buddy?

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, hey, dad.
How are you?

Oh, I'm fine, jake.

Oh, and another strike...

think I could get a, uh,

I don't know, a grunt in my
general direction, sir?

Look out.
He's teetering.

I think he's ready to go down.

Nothing, huh?

Ah. How about this?

For every syllable I get,

you, sir, shall receive
a chicken leg.

Hi, dad.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

"Hi, dad" will get you

two, count 'em, two
chicken legs, huh?

Ah.

Party on, garth.

Excellent.

Oh, and there's a...

I'm telling you, it happened.

Does anyone believe that story?

Our grandmas wouldn't fight.

They'd, like, bake pies
for each other and then hug.

Yeah, well, officer asher
didn't believe it either.

Excuse me?

What, did you fart?

Officer asher?

Yes, isaac.
Officer asher, my partner.

I thought you'd be on
a first name basis with her

at the very least.

What does that mean?

What does he mean?

What he means is

that your dad and
officer asher are friends.

Is she gonna move in with us?

She can't have my room.

I'm not sure sleeping
arrangements will be an issue, jake.

Oh... okay.

I'm gonna put the kibosh
on this right now, okay?

Jacob, what isaac
is trying to say

is that your dad and officer
asher are co-workers.

Right?

And friends.

I don't know, dad.

I mean, you... you were
home pretty late.

Yeah, well, I got a call
on the west side.

Something bad?

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, uh,

you know that crazy
old guy skinner?

Yeah.

He fell down.

He hurt himself real bad.

Did he... is he...

He's dead.

Sad, right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey, yo.
Pass that over here.

I'm so drunk.

Pass that over here.

Pass what?

Come on.

Give it to me.

Come on.

There you go.

Oh, yeah.

I've been waiting
for this night.

I've been waiting all week
to get out here.

Have another beer.
Swig on another beer.

Hey, so who's got
the marshmallows?

Hey!

Hey, uh...

I think I just
killed a squirrel.

Iilah?

Are you even out there?

If not, I'm gonna...
Gonna clean my shoe.

Over here, baby.

I've been waiting for you.

But...

What the hell?

Boobs!

Sorry, just...

I guess I didn't expect
to see you, well, that.

I guess uh, I guess I did, but...

Get out of here!

Stupid.

Let's get out of here.

Grace?

Grace.

Grace?

Grace?

Grace?

Grace?

Grace!

This isn't funny anymore!

Grace!

Aah!

Guys, you're not gonna
believe what I just...

Aah!

Yeah, and when I was born,

the doctor found out
that I had six testicles.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're not even listening to me.

I'm sorry. I'm just
a little distracted.

Yeah, it's okay.

I kind of have that effect
on hot chicks.

Look,

seriously, don't worry
about the chief, okay?

When this case is resolved,
she will loosen up.

But, uh, the boys like you.

That's nice.

Becca, what is going on?

Have you... have you ever
wanted to do something

and it just never seemed
like the right moment,

or you were afraid and just...

Then you just didn't
know what to do?

Yes, I have.

Become a ballerina.

What?

That's right, lady.
You heard me.

Ballerina. You know,

dress up in a frilly tutu

and tippy-toe across the stage,

pirouette.

I'm serious, mike.

I don't know, maybe...

Maybe there's something
wrong with me.

I just... I don't know.

I just... I can't fix it.

I know, I'm... I'm sorry.

But hey, what...
Whatever that is for you,

just... just know
that I'll be there.

Okay? I promise.

Yeah?

Ballerina's honor.

You're sweet.

You should see me in my leotard.

Mm. Good night, michael.

Good night, my darling.

Hey, bro.

You're a douche.

Yeah, I know.

I didn't think you'd admit that.

Dad's gonna kill me.

What, because of your phone?

It's a stupid phone, jacob.

He'll be happy
you're not sexting.

You know him.
He won't let it go

till we tell him
the whole story.

Just say you dropped it
in the toilet.

What if someone finds it?

You think it was our fault?

What, skinner?

Ju...

Just get your coat.

Coroner's report came back.

"Consistent
with blunt force trauma."

Chief, this doesn't
tell us anything.

Tells us you didn't
read the whole thing.

Right.

Ah. "Copper toxicity."

That's not it.

Um...

"cardiac markers"?

Bingo.
Yes.

Okay, wait a minute.

So the guy had a heart attack
and then broke his neck?

Get a load of his tramp stamp.

Ooh.

Creepy guys gone wild, huh?

Sexy!

Does that mean anything to you?

Some kind of occult symbol.

It's in the doc.

Mark of cain.

And it's not ink.
It's a scar.

I guess he shouldn't
have pledged delta.

Because it's...

Ahem. Anyway, uh,
any next of kin?

Because that house is a mess.

It's gonna need cleaning up.

Public records are on your desk.

Have at it.

Right.

What?

You two aren't friends?

Man.

It smells like somebody
ate a landfill

and took a dump.

Quit it.

Let's find my phone
and get out of here.

Aw. Nothing here's gonna
bite you, you wuss.

Isaac?

Here for you, man!

Oh, man. Skinner won
the nobel prize.

That's a medal of honor, idiot.

Yeah, what you get
for being noble.

Hey, there.
Can I help you?

Hi, y'all.

So sorry for your loss.

Yeah, bummer.

Well, uh, a token
of our sympathy.

Tater tot casserole.

It's great comfort food.

Oh, thanks.

Um, my husband and I,
we live next door

in the cute federal

with the matching priuses
in the drive.

Super.

Thanks for the food.

Well, uh, just wondering

what your plans are
with the house.

Uh, it's really
too early to say.

We... we just lost our...
Step-grandpa.

Step-grandpa.

How's that work?

Well, he... he married our...

Other grandpa.

It's just if you were
planning to sell,

we'd be happy to take
the place off your hands.

Um, should I be talking
to your parents

or a gay grandpa?
Whatever?

Grandpa's what?

Listen, uh, I'm sure

you'd love to tear
this place down

and build a tennis court.

Japanese garden.

We just lost our
gay step-grandpa.

Leave us alone.

But j...

I just wanted to see
the house and the...

Tater tots, man.

Uh, what's wrong?

This was on the steps.

Go away!

Franklin?

I told you...

Oh.

I didn't do nothing.

Franklin, it's me.

I don't know you.

So?

Your brother?

Not anymore, no.

Saul's a monster.

Wait!
He... he was my father.

Becky?

It's rebecca now.

I don't want to talk.

Wait.

Your brother, my father,

he passed away last night.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Franklin!

Franklin!

Rebecca?

Huh.

Yeah, hey, uh, bec.

It's, um, it's 10:00.

No sign of you yet.

I, um,

just want to make sure
you're okay.

Look, uh, whatever
you're going through,

I just want you to know
I'm here for you.

Oh, and, uh, I think the chief...

Hi, chief.

Hey.

Where's your partner?

Uh, she's... on her way.

Better be.

I just got off the phone
with a hysterical mother.

Says her son didn't
come home last night.

One of the kids we chased
away from the scene.

I asked for the names
of his friends,

called their parents.

None of them came home.

Yeah, well, they're teenagers.

Could be out in the forest

building bongs
out of pine cones.

Or we could be dealing
with something bad.

Get your crap.

Get my crap.

Okay, gentlemen, let's fan out.

Channel 2 on the walkies,

and hey, guys, stay in contact.

We're looking for
any sign of them,

where they've been,
what they've been doing.

Now let's go.

What?

So teeth just fell
out of his head?

Skinner was an old dude.

Aw, come on. It's not
even a human tooth.

Blow the phone.
Could we just go home?

Listen for it.

Hi, there.

Is someone out here?

It's just if you're the one

who's been pooping
in my azaleas,

I'd like you to stop, please.

And also, you should
be seeing a doctor.

It shouldn't look that color.

Mom!
Something's under my bed.

Damn it.

Coming, sweetheart.

Okay, fine.
Let's go.

Hey, wait. We gotta look
through the rest of this stuff.

We're not robbing him.

What does it matter?

He's dead.

And if anybody cared about him,

they'd have been here by now.

This is wrong.

Could we get some gogurt
or something

to get him to shut the hell up?

Douche.
What?

You heard me.

Are you gonna run
off to your mom now, too?

Oh, wait. She's dead.

Jake.

Come on, man.

Jake, come on, man.

You... you can't walk
home by yourself.

Oh, come on and stop
being a little bitch!

Oh.

What the hell is this?

Are you all right?

Uh...
right.

Uh, kid, I'm gonna get you
down from there.

What's your name?
Aaron.

Aaron, okay.

My name's officer samuels,

and I want you...
I want you to get ready.

Okay? Because this
is gonna hurt a little.

No, don't! No!

Ouch.

The adamine relic will be mine.

Never.

I'll have your guts for garters,

you yellow bel...

What are you idiots doing?

Winning?

You know this is
a crime scene, right?

Well, you must because
there's police tape outside.

I'm... we're really sorry.

We're... we're leaving right now.

Isaac, what were you thinking?

Are you two related?

She's screwing my dad.

Oh. This is getting
kind of awkward.

I'm just gonna head out.

You're not going anywhere.

You gonna let me go, too?

That depends on what
you were doing here.

It was nothing.

Zorro threw jake's phone
through the window.

Is jake here?

No, he went home.

What the hell is this?

Huh.

It looks like a thing
they mark cows with.

A brand.

You think that's for
what I think it was for?

What?

Well, skinner had his own
brand of rabbit steaks

and deer steaks
and... and dog steaks.

You believe everything
you hear at recess?

Come on. Don't tell me

you weren't scared
of this guy as a kid.

I think you should
go home, isaac.

What is that?

A coin.

He collected things?

Never thought of him

as someone who had
interests or hobbies.

I'm sorry.

Did... did you know skinner?

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

Damn it.

Isaac, go home now.

Mike.

Hey.

Mike, you okay?
I'm fine.

But it's not me
we need to worry about.

The rest of those kids
are still out there,

and there's no sign of them,

but he says they're all dead.

Oh, no.

Who are we looking for?

Big, really big.

Uh, possibly some facial
disfigurement.

The kid said the guy came
out of the woods, right?

But he didn't have a weapon.

Says he used his hands.

Says he t-tore them apart
with his bare hands.

What?

Said he ran.

He didn't get far,

but instead of killing him,
the guy just...

He ties him up
and hangs him in a tree

like some kind
of a human piñata.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know.
Maybe he likes piñatas.

Babe, I'm sorry.

Guys, I want
that forest cleared,

every possible suspect found.

I want friggin' bambi in my
debrief room before sundown.

Chief, what about saul?

Peters?
What about him?

Do you think
he's involved in this?

We don't have
enough information.

So go get me more information.

What's our next move?

Find those bodies.

I'm gonna put in
a call to the fbi,

let 'em know
what we're dealing with,

or at least what I think
we're dealing with.

Michael.

Yeah?

You can be partners at work,

or you can be partners at play,

not both.

All right, guys.

We need to get
back to the station.

Mom!

There's something in my closet.

They're called clothes, pumpkin.

No, something mean.
It made a mean noise.

That's just my story on the tv.

Your stories are all
about kissing,

but the man in my closet's
too angry to kiss.

Now it's a man?

Definitely not a lady.

It's the boogeyman.

Fine.

Let's go take a look.

See?

Maybe he went under the bed.

Honestly!

I can't believe you sometimes.

I was just playing dress-up.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Are you serious?

By skinner's?

Uh, I saw cops and
an ambulance when I left,

but no one said anything
about a serial killer.

Uh, no, yeah.
I'm at home.

Yeah, bring your bowl.

Jake?

You here?

Jake?

You here?

Jacob!

Jacob!

Jake?

Why are you walking
around in the dark?

Yeah, good point.

Hey, uh...

What?

I'm, you know...

You're not sorry.

Okay, I'm not.

But I shouldn't have to be.

Hey.

You know, if I try and help you,

you say you don't need it.

And if I don't, you still bitch.

I... I give up, jacob.

I don't need your help.

I need you to stop
telling your friends

I take tap lessons.

No one was there for me
when I was your age.

No one painted
your bike pink, either.

When I was in eighth grade,
I got a black eye every day.

Why don't you man up
and deal with it?

Butthead.
Jerk.

Mike, I owe you an explanation.

No, you don't.

I know your father
is samuel peters.

You're in mourning.
I get it.

I disappeared on you today.

I was trying to find out...

You know, my mom used to
tell me all these stories

about how terrible my dad was,

and I always thought, well,

I must be terrible, too,
somehow, on the inside.

That's why I
transferred back here:

To find out, to confront him.

And?

And until today,
I never had the guts.

I was scared.

Yeah, well, fear...
can be a terrible thing.

Yeah.

But I made a promise.

No more fear.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Me, too.

Officers samuels
and asher, do you copy?

We copy.

Double time it back here.

I'll meet you at your
black-and-white. Over.

What happened, chief?

There's another victim.

Don't get too handsy.

The fbi are on their way.
Gonna want a clean scene.

How soon?

They're flying a specialized
csi team in from d.c.

they'll be here by sunup.

That soon, huh?

Ah.

These don't look
like knife wounds.

Ohh...

ucch.

Oh.

What the...

What is that, a claw?

Fingernail. Human.

Grown out and sharpened.

Just like our guy's
m.o.

bare hands.

So what,

the... the daughter
was here the whole time?

No, she didn't see anything.

Heard a scream
and found the body.

Dad's alibi checks out.
He's out of town.

I'm gonna head
back to the station.

Start organizing the search.

As soon as the coroner
gets here, join me.

I want this guy found.

Word.

Anybody there?

Jacob?

Who's there?
This isn't funny!

What's your phone doing here?

What the f...

Who is it?

I...

Dude, answer it.

Hello.

What was that?

Crank call.

Did you check
the caller i.d.?

It was blank. Go back
to sleep, jacob.

Well, what's with the gun?

Nothing. Go to bed.

Isaac!

Help!

Jacob!

Hello. Isaac?

Are you okay?

It got into the house!

I don't know,
some kind of a monster.

Wait. Just... just...
Just calm down. Okay, son?

D-did you say monster?

He... he tried to hurt jake.

I... I tried to stop him, dad.

I don't think I could.
I shot him.

I just...

Isaac? Isaac,
what the hell was that?

Dad, I'm sorry.

Tell me what is happening!

Dad?

Jake, I want you to...

I want you to lock
all the doors.

I'm on my way.

The doors were locked, dad.
It got in anyway.

It was under my bed.

Tell isaac that you need
to get in the car

and go to the station

and they'll take care
of you there, all right?

He says go to the station.

Dad, we're gonna go.
Meet us there.

I'm on my way.

Jake, I'm gonna go out first.

You stay here until I give
you the all clear, okay?

Yeah.
All right.

Can I come out?

Not yet.

Ohh... ohh...

jake! Get down!

Get in the car! Now!

Aah!

Hey, I found my cell.
Run!

They're not answering.
Drive faster.

Something is after us.

Isaac, is that blood?

Forget about it.
It killed my friend.

Is that your dad's gun?

Yeah. You... you have to
lock the doors right now.

Gimme the gun, son.

No, it could be here any second.

You're gonna have to
give me the gun.

No.

What the hell
is wrong with your face?

Now, there's... there's nothing
to worry about, all right?

You guys are gonna
be safe in here.

Where's my ketchup?

Don't mind our guest.

I'm holding on to this
till I see my dad.

All right. Hey, jacob.
Want to grab a soda?

He stays with me.

Okey-dokey.

You guys sit tight.
I'll be back in a minute.

Don't you worry about a thing.

Who else is here?

It's just me, but I got...
Where's cole?

Dispatched to help the manhunt.

Bring him back in.
Bring 'em all back

because I just found the guy
we're looking for.

Okay, but I got mike's kids
in interrogation with a gun.

What?

That's what I've been
trying to tell you.

Isaac came in
covered with blood,

saying something's chasing them.

He was right.

I need my shotgun.

Hey!

We need help over here!
We need help!

It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.

Okay?

Daniels?

It's gonna be okay.

Shhh.
It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

You just calm down.

Look!

No, don't! Stop!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Please! Please! No!

Ohh! God.

Ketchup!

I asked for ketchup,
they give me ketchup!

Ha ha ha! That is just nuts.

Ketchup. Wow.
More than I need.

This is way too much.

Gotta get some fries
with this ketchup.

Oh, god.
Really, this is nuts.

I... I shot till it was empty,

but it didn't work.

That thing took him.

Let me go!

Let me go!

I can't let you
move, mr. Samuels.

He took jacob.

Not until the doctor's here.

Check his restraints.

Can't let you move,
mr. Samuels.

Your... your wife...
Please, mr. Samuels.

Not until the doctor...

Your... your wife... sir.

The accident was severe.

There wasn't anything
we could do.

I'm afraid...

No! No!

We're gonna find him.

We don't even know
where to look.

We'll look everywhere.

We won't leave
a d... a dark corner

for that thing to hide in.

Mike, if he wanted
to hurt jacob...

Michael.

Michael, hey.

We'll find him. Okay?

Okay. We'll find him.

What are we waiting for?
Those kids are out there.

Listen. Listen up!

I'm not gonna
waste any time here.

We all know what's happened.

Wherever our target went,

he's got michael's son with him,

so we can't go in
all guns blazing.

Find him, call dispatch,

and we'll bring
everything we've got.

What about the fbi?

Not gonna be here in time.

This one's on us.

I'm gonna take a team

back to the forest
where we found aaron.

The man we're after
left him there.

Must have planned
on coming back for him.

It's not a man.

Excuse me?

Uh... it's not a man.

I shot it.

I thought I killed it,

but he just got right back up.

It can't be a man.

Of course it's a man.

At the other scene, we found
a fingernail, a human fingernail.

I don't care
if it's frigging godzilla!

We're gonna take it down.

Those of you not on my team,
go house-by-house.

The perp is fast.

Could be anywhere by now,

so we have to be faster.

Move out. Move out!

You know I can't let you.

Well, I'm...

I'm not sitting around here
while he's out there.

You can't tell me that you're
even-headed right now.

Of course I'm not...

What your son needs is...

Don't tell me what my son needs.

...someone who is calm.

He needs his father.

I'll bring him back
to you, mike, I swear.

But you are not coming along.

Hello.

Uncle franklin.

What?

You called my father a monster,

and I need to know
what you meant by that.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

A boy is missing, and I don't
have a whole lot to go on here.

Whoever killed saul,
I need to find him,

and I need to stop him.

So if you know something...

A boy is gonna die
if you don't help me.

Oh... I doubt that.

You're just like my father.

If the boy's chosen,

I can't help,
and neither can you.

Hello?

Ah, damn it, frank.

Let's go!

Saul...

I really made a mess of things.

I guess I owe you.

It's my fault he's gone, dad.

Don't be stupid, isaac.

Remember when I was
in eighth grade

and I came home
from school with a...

Yeah, yeah.
With a black eye.

Sure, I remember.

You picked a fight
with a group of kids

because they were talking
about your mother.

You yelled at me.

Less than a month
after she died,

those four guys cornered me,
said that stuff.

You threw the first punch,
isaac.

I... I think
it was right what I did.

She couldn't stand up
for herself.

And you punched a kid
in the face.

You know, you told me
I was stupid then, too.

That it didn't matter
what people said about her.

You need to toughen up, isaac...

because it doesn't matter

what anyone says.

It does, dad.

It really does.

I'm sorry.

I'm here!

What do you want?

I'm waiting for you!

You chose me!

I'm abel!

Help me!

Help! Help me! Help!

Help me!

I can smell you!

You might as well show yourself!

What the hell was that?

Let's go.

Jacob!

Jacob, you out there?

Jacob?

Jake! Jacob!

Jake! Jake!

Jacob!

Jacob, where are you, buddy?

Aah!

Chief! Chief, over here!

Oh, my god.

Aah!

He's fast!

4-2-6!

Jake?

Uh, dad.

Jake, where...
Where are you, bud?

Are... are you all right?

Jake?
Did you say jake?

Uh, I don't know.
Okay, I need...

I need you to look
around, pal, okay?

Tell what you see.

Uh, well, I found the barn.

There's... there's
dead people in it.

An old barn.

Uh, there's a place
by skinner's.

Okay.

Jake, I'm coming for you, man.

Just hold on the line.

Aah!

Damn it!

Where'd he go?!

I don't know!

Behind you!

Chief!

Chief!

No.

We're almost there, jake!

Come on, isaac!

Uhh!

Hey, dad.

Dad.

Look, give me the knife.

Not a chance.

You don't understand.

Saul.

I'm saul's brother!

Dad?

The barn.

Come with us.

My god.

He didn't waste any time.

Who? What the hell
does this thing want?

What?

Dad?

Jake?

What's wrong?
My ankle.

Is it...

Aah.

Okay. It's sprained.

We're gonna have to
carry you outta here.

Okay, buddy?

Give me that knife.

The knife stays with me.

You got a weapon.

Give me a chance.

Isaac, get your brother.

Michael?

Rebecca!

Michael.
Thank god.

Are you all right?

Uh... what happened here?

It was that... that thing.

Its so fast.

It is. We need the brand.

The what?
The brand.

At saul's house.

N-no. No, we need to get
in the car and go!

No.

No.
It's on to the boy now.

It'll follow you wherever
you go, no matter.

Saul's place.

Let's go. Come on!

Watch the door.
If it comes, stab him.

It'll hurt like hell.

Dad, I want to go home.

I know, jake.

We will.

Hey, old man!
What's with the knife?

Your gun will do nothing.

This here blade's
made of copper.

Copper will burn it to agony.

Ah!

Rebecca! Here.

Take this sword and guard
the back door.

Why does she get a sword?

Franklin, you need
to tell us what you know.

Nobody will listen
to an old man!

We're just about ready to
believe anything right now.

Yes.

The brand.

The brand is
the key to everything!

Hey, that's the same
mark saul had.

Yes, I suppose it is!

Franklin.

Franklin!

Tell us.

Saul...

your father, he was chosen.

Some people are chosen
for greatness,

for higher things.

Not saul.

Something terrible
caught sight of him,

grabbed hold of him,
wouldn't let him go.

It tore a hole
right through his life.

Everyone thought he'd thrown
away his family, his career.

But they were wrong.

You were wrong.

You were sacrificed.

It was a fate worse than death.

He had to live
for that creature...

be its guardian...

its warden.

Feed it.

Feed it?

It's insatiable.

Addicted to death.

An eternal killer.

Creature?

It was a man, I suppose,

a long time ago.

Centuries ago,

that sword was made

for a conquistador in spain.

Another cursed soul.

He was on his way
to the new world,

hoping to abandon it
in the wilderness.

But it was not to be.

Even then,
the creature was ancient.

Holy relics, these weapons.

They were passed down
with the burden...

from one keeper to the next.

Keeper of what?

A demon cursed eons ago.

An evil which will never
pass from this earth.

Its name... his name...

Cain.

Cain?

"Cain and abel" cain?

Adam and eve's kid?

In the bible,
cain was the first murderer.

He shattered his brother's
skull with a stone,

and god cursed him forever

to suffer the guilt
for what he'd done.

He left a mark to warn others.

You can't be serious, man.

Even old stories have
a kernel of truth, boy.

So copper can kill it?

No.

You can't kill cain,
only hurt is all.

But copper will do that.

Isaac, b-back at home,

you shot it with dad's gun,
a-and it ran.

Copper-jacketed bullets.

What does any of this have
to do with that brand?

Everything.

Consumed with guilt,
cain wants his brother back.

He wants his keeper, his abel.

Left to his own devices,
he will choose for himself.

The brand.

The brand marks the keeper.

It seals the deal.

Jacob.

Yes.

Cain has chosen his next abel,

and he has chosen your son.

Guys.

If a copper knife
hurt this thing...

It's gonna love copper bullets.

Let's do this.

I suppose he will.

Might give me time
to get this hot enough.

To do what?

To brand someone.

That's what you're planning,
isn't it?

Who did you have in mind?

He's here.

Shh-shh-shh.

I'm over here, you!

Is this what you want?!

Aah!

Aah!

Rebecca!

Uhh!

I am your master!

Aah!

No!

No!

Jacob, jacob!
Where are you going?

The attic.
No! No! No!

Come on.
Come on, come on.

Come on.

Over there.

If we just get you to the car.

No. No. It's too late.

Hey, old man.

Thanks for saving my son.

Rebecca.

I have to tell you something.

What?

For years, i-i've been
carrying the burden on my own.

Cain came to me first.

I did something I regretted
for the rest of my life.

I didn't let cain decide.

The mark?

You branded your own brother?

My father abandoned us
because of you.

You killed my mother!

I was frightened of shouldering
the responsibility.

I'm so sorry.

But...

he doesn't choose just anyone.

No, dad.

You gotta let me go, isaac.

There's no other choice.

That thing will kill you.

Dad, it's gotta be me.

Michael.

If you take the mark,

you will lose your boys
like I lost my father.

No!

Cain wants a brother.

No.

No, I am not giving you
to that thing.

You have to.

Guys, do you smell smoke?

We gotta get out of here.

Ready.

Let's boogie.

Aah!

Hey, let's go this way.

Aah!
Mike!

Boys! Out the back.
I'll get your father.

Wait.

Take me!

You want a brother?

This is what I'm willing
to do for mine.

Aah!

Aah!

Dad!
Come on, boys! Come on!

Dad!
Go!

Where's rebecca?

She ran after you.

Okay, isaac, get in the car!

Okay, I want you boys to go.

Just drive and don't look back.

No, dad!

Jacob, you'll be fine.
Okay, buddy?

I got to get rebecca.
Go!

Come on, damn it!

Michael?

Michael!

Michael!

Oh, frack.

Cain!

Brother.

Aah!

What?

Go, michael.

Go.

Stop. Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.

Michael.

Michael,
I never understood why...

How my father could
leave his entire family.

Now you're wondering
the same thing.

Where did she go?

Why did she do it?

All right. Let me, uh,
let me try that.

Let me try. Come on.
Give 'em to the old man.

Go on, dad.
What you got?

Okay now.

All I can say is...

it was about time
cain had a sister.

Oh, there!

Big dog.
