Parable (2020) - full transcript
While trying an extreme form of conversion therapy, a preacher summons an evil demon - one that's intent on triggering a mass suicide. The pastor must keep the demon contained - but there's a posse coming to set it free.
[dramatic music]
[logo whirring]
- Probably go back.
I don't know if something.
[people whispering]
[people kissing]
[birds chirping]
[door opening]
- [Dad] Esther,
what are you doing?
- Nothing.
- [Dad] I asked you,
what are you two doing?
- Nothing.
- Answer me, come
here, come here.
- Ow, ow,
- Walk!
- Dad.
- Just walk.
[gentle music]
- Hey Zoe, I'm so sorry about
what happened yesterday.
I hope you're okay.
I'm grounded, but
whatever, it's fine,
I miss you.
Hey, sorry I haven't
answered your calls.
My dad just told
me that he wants
to send me to a church camp
with like other
gay kids and stuff.
I'm not gonna go,
so don't worry.
But I just wanted to tell
you, he's totally freaked out.
- [Dad] Esther.
- No signal in
this bloody place,
So, we're at a
petrol station now,
and it's probably the last
one until I get to this camp
that I'm actually
going to, it's fine.
But they're gonna
confiscate my phone
so I won't be able
to talk to you.
It's fine, it's gonna be fine.
I love you and I'll see you
when all this is over, okay?
[knocks on door]
- [Dad] Esther?
- I'm coming.
[car beeping]
[door banging]
[birds chirping]
- Well, so how are the others?
- They're fine, beginning
to see the light.
Thank God it's only the
one, might be a lost case.
- [Reverend] There's
no such a thing.
How old is he?
- She.
- It's a girl?
- Esther.
She's the first girl to
get into the sin bin.
- Put a girl in the bin?
- I didn't know what else to do.
She's very aggressive.
I'm sorry.
- No need to be, women
wanted to be treated equally
until they are.
Father God, thank you
for this day Father God.
Father God, please
guide us as we ourselves
please guide our
children, father God.
And help us to dispel Satan
from them, father God.
Your name.
[chair whirring]
- Esther.
- Reverend.
Reverend, please,
I wanna go home.
- And you will
when you're better.
- But there's nothing
wrong with me.
- Don't be afraid, Esther.
It's for your own good.
- What?
- Councilor Hahnemann
showed me porn Reverend,
he put me in a dress, he
even threatened to rape me.
He said that he'd remind
me what my vagina was for.
- God gave women the
privilege to procreate.
Why would you deny
such an honor?
- Being gay is not a sin
reverend, God still loves me.
He knows that I'm happy.
- Then why are you so
upset, why are you crying?
- Because I'm tired and
scared, and I haven't slept.
Please, Reverend.
- I'm sorry, but desperate times
call for desperate measures.
You're not to blame,
it's not your fault.
- Then let me go.
- I will let you go when
you let the girl go,
demon.
- What?
- You're not gay,
you're possessed.
- What?
- You are not
welcome here demon.
- I'm not a demon
Reverend, stop.
You can't do that,
I'm not a demon.
- Be quiet demon,
this is God's child.
[reverend laughing]
You can't fool me, demon.
[dramatic music]
This is God's child.
She belongs with the almighty.
- Something isn't right,
please stop, please
stop, please stop.
- In the name of the lamb.
- Please stop reverend,
something is happening.
- I order you to
leave this child.
- Get out, get out, get out.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- I hate you.
[Esther crying]
- You don't hate me.
You hate yourself.
That's why you live in sin.
- Get out, get out.
Get out, get out, get out.
[Esther shouting]
[Esther breathing]
[Reverend slapping]
[Lloyd grunting]
- Oh shit, that's creepy.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but at least
she's getting the landman.
- Hi, Lina, cheers Loyd.
- Hi, Didi.
That's cold.
How does it feel knowing
you messed that up?
- Not now Lina.
- Dumb ass.
[gentle music]
- Ah shit.
- Now who's the idiot?
- Not again, man Loyd.
- It's not my fault we
live in a fucking prison.
Dude, can you please
just buzz me in?
I forgot my card.
- I cannot do that.
- What the, I live here.
Come on, I see you every day.
We've been through
this, man. Come on.
- Sir, could you just please
sign in my dumbass friend.
- Sign in is only
for the visitors.
- Ah-ha, so you
admit I'm a resident.
- You could be a murderer
or a drug dealer for all I know.
- Okay, let's just take...
- Please fuck off.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
- Can you sign in
for me, please?
- Yeah, you're literally
standing in the way of the Lord.
So whatever you gotta do,
you better do it quickly.
[dramatic music]
- Fuck.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Say the same about you.
- Oy, watch it boy.
I'm not afraid of kids.
- I found it.
- Thanks Lina, fuck you.
[machine beeping]
[gentle music]
- Guys I'm telling
you, the lizard people,
they're real go do
your fucking research.
That security guard,
he's a lizard person.
They use these
security complexes
for their scientific
experiments or some shit.
- Here we go again.
- Loyd, I think all that weed,
you smoke is actually
turning your brain to shit.
No, thank you.
I actually have
something to do today.
- Like what homework?
- No, but the trick
would probably be
a good time to start, Loyd.
I'm actually going
costume shopping
for my party,
this weekend,
which I stupidly
invited both of you to.
- Fuck, I'm in.
- Let's get wasted.
- Is Didi gonna be there?
- Yeah, everybody's
gonna be there.
- Yep, that's a no from me.
- Get over your self
Kas, people break up.
- Not like this.
- Shut the fuck up, Loyd.
- What does that mean?
- Our boy here
broke up with Didi
because she wouldn't
have sex with him.
- What, Kas is that true?
- Okay, it sounds really bad
when you say it like that.
- It sounds real shitty the
way her friend's tell it.
- Wait, what, what do
you mean who said what?
- Kas what did you do?
- Nothing Lina,
nothing.
[birds chirping]
[gentle music]
[door banging]
- Oh, Reverend.
[man laughing]
Reverend, hi.
- Brother Julian.
- Yes.
- How are you?
- I'm okay, how are you sir?
- I'm fine.
Julian, can I trust you?
- Of course, Reverend.
- Good, because your faith
is about to be tested.
- How can I help?
- Open the garage door.
[upbeat music]
[Kas sighing]
[door whirring]
[footsteps banging]
[objects whirring]
[Kas sighing]
- Brothers and sisters,
I personally invite you to
join our growing movement,
the Soldiers of Faith.
Last year, more than 100,000 men
and boys worshipped together.
And this year we have
opened up the event
to our wives and daughters too.
Be part of this
unstoppable movement
as we turn South
Africa back to Jesus.
May God be with you.
[gentle music]
[gun banging]
- My son.
And he's busy not
doing his homework.
- Hey, this is what you get
when you leave your
children unsupervised.
Where have you been?
- I told you I had the
church function today.
- You still going
to that church, huh?
- Ah, you're back in
your underwear, huh?
- They were just on the TV.
Reverend Randy's massive
gathering in Pretoria.
Are you going?
- I wish I could, but
I have work to do.
- Shame, who wouldn't want to be
on a weekend away in
the middle of nowhere
with a cowboy yelling at them?
- You can laugh all you
want, but just remember,
I don't get to take a plus
one to heaven one day.
And even if I could,
it won't be you.
Speaking of which, where's Didi?
Is she coming for dinner?
- No.
- Oh.
- She's got a thing
with her family tonight.
- Oh, shame, pity,
because I'm making my
famous chicken nachos.
- Ah, see now that's
better parenting.
- That girl, a demon.
- She's possessed
by a demon Julian.
And we have been
tasked with saving her.
But what about her parents?
- Her father was the
one who brought her
to me in the first place.
Julian, out of 15 in the camp,
14 have been saved,
I can't let this one go.
You said you trusted
me, do you still?
- Of course I do reverend,
- I could always get a deacon
in the church to help me.
- No, no, no, reverend,
It's just that, you
know about my record,
I mean, this feels awful
lot like kidnapping.
[Reverend laughing]
- Those are human laws, Julian,
we're in God's country now.
You know, Julian, the first
time that you came to me,
I knew that God
had a plan for you.
That he wanted me to make
a soldier out of you,
fighting the darkness
side by side.
That's why the church
let you move in here
so that you could get
back on your feet again.
- And I appreciate that.
- Then help me, help
me save this lost lamb.
A doctor in my
congregation got me this.
It's completely safe.
[zip whirring]
[dramatic music]
It's legal Julian, they
use it in minor surgeries.
- I can't take this.
- It wouldn't be a
true test of your faith
if it was easy Julian.
- I haven't touched a
needle in eight months.
- Good, that means you
are strong with God.
Julian, I've never used
this stuff, I don't...
I need your help.
The doctor marked the
syringes so no more than that
if we want her
calm, not catatonic.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Aren't you coming?
- It's been a rough
couple of days, Julian,
that beast did its
best to break me.
I've seen a lot of
bad things in my life
but I've never seen
anything like this.
- I can't do this alone.
- Just keep her sedated.
That way she can't
harm herself or you.
I need to prepare and rest.
[gentle music]
You don't have anything
to drink, do you?
- Only water.
- No, I need to
fortify my spirits.
- I can't keep
alcohol in the house.
- Ah, yes, of
course, go with God.
[door whirring]
[Esther grunting]
[insects chirping]
[phone beeping]
[Kas sighing]
- Fuck.
You like that?
Yeah I see you.
[Kas laughing]
[vehicle whirring]
- And please, father
God, if it be your will,
help me to save this girl and
help me to protect your flock.
And please, father God, use
me against the darkness.
You prepared me for
this, I am ready.
And please God, please
fortify my mind.
Make still my dreams
that I may rest tonight
before the fight ahead.
And please Father God, look
after Annie and the girls.
And forgive me my sins, Amen.
[dramatic music]
[skateboard whirring]
[gentle music]
[insects chirping]
- [Kasper] Didi.
- Kasper?
- No, Kasper, no.
- Hold on, take it easy.
It's okay.
- No, I said no.
- It won't hurt, I promise.
- Kasper no.
- You just need to relax.
- No Kasper, No.
- Who the fuck are you?
- What were you
gonna do with her?
- Nothing, nothing, I swear.
- Nothing, that didn't
look like nothing to me.
You're one of those guys.
- What, no, no, I'm a nice guy.
- You're not a good man.
I know you.
I tasted you.
- What?
- When I first
woke up, with him.
Were you with him?
- With who?
- That God botherer.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- And who are you, where are we?
- I'm Kasper, we're
in the eye of Africa.
It's a security estate.
Rich people behind
high walls and a gate.
- So I'm trapped
inside this place.
Kasper, can you find me?
- You're right here.
- No, I'm not, but I'm close.
I'm in danger.
- I don't know what
you're talking ab--
- Kasper.
Whoa, what are you doing?
- Please, you must help me
Kasper, won't you help me?
- Please Kasper,
you must find me.
- Kasper, hey,
wake up sleepy boy.
- Mom, what are you doing?
I was still..
- It's time for school.
Breakfast is ready and
I'm leaving for work.
Get up or you'll be late.
- Okay, okay, I'll
be there in a sec.
[birds chirping]
[Kas sighing]
- All right.
[door whirring]
- Oh shit.
Aren't you afraid of
dealing from home?
- No, everyone's
doing drugs now.
It's practically legal.
- That's not true Loyd.
- Whatever man, tell me about
that dream girl of yours.
Did you fuck her?
- More like she fucked me.
I've never had a
dream like that.
- Ah, dude, I wish
I could dream.
- You don't dream?
- Nope, it's the dope.
Didn't you know, dude
smoking so much weed,
it kills your dreams.
Like, I've got no dreams.
- Super vivid.
More real than real, you know?
- Sounds a lot less complicated
than your real
life relationship.
- Loyd, you don't believe
the rumors do you?
- About the lizard people?
Fuck yes, I do.
Those motherfuckers are
trying to take over the world.
- No man.
I'm speaking about the
rumors about me and Didi.
- Oh Kas.
- Dude, I didn't hurt her.
Okay, we were just a bit
drunk and fooling around.
- Dude, Kas, whatever
happened, happened.
- Nothing, nothing happened.
I didn't do shit.
This whole Me Too man,
everyone's looking
for a scandal.
How am I supposed
to lose my virginity
if I can't even do anything?
- Have you ever thought
about being the type of guy
that girls want
to have sex with?
- Like you would know
anything about that?
- Oh fuck you, dude, I told
you about me and Katrina.
We hooked up over the..
- What fucking ever, dude, you
started that rumor yourself.
- And you know there's
no smoke without a fire.
And this is from
a big fat juicy J.
- Yo yo, turn that up.
- Came to light this morning
when the girl's mother
contacted the authorities.
- Dude, that's her!
- That's who?
- The dream girl.
Center of controversy.
There have been
previous allegations
of misconduct and
abuse at these camps.
And now claims of gay
conversion therapy sessions
being held in the dilapidated
building behind me.
All attempts to contact
the self-styled minister
have been fruitless.
The police have asked that
anyone with any information
regarding the disappearance
of Ester contact them.
[gentle music]
- She's real.
- Real gone, yeah.
- What the fuck?
- Dude, you probably
dreamt about it
because you saw her in the news.
- How could I, this is new news.
- Oh my God, I
just got it, dude.
- What?
- The news.
- What about it?
- It's the news, dude
it's new information,
new stuff that we are being fed.
New stuff that we need
to know, it's news.
- Loyd dude, do you
know what this means?
This girl is real
like she exists.
And she asked for my help.
- She got pretty shitty
taste in guys then.
- Are you still there?
[person breathing]
Please, please don't, please.
- [Voice] Calm yourself child.
- I don't understand.
- Who are you?
- [Voice] I'm your
only friend right now.
- Why can't I see you?
- You will, when we're ready.
Everyone will.
- I don't like this.
I don't want this, please.
- [Voice] There's no one
else here for you but me.
I can get us out of here but
you must stop fighting me.
Open yourself up.
- What will you do?
- [Voice] I will help.
- How?
- [Voice] We need to get
up, I need such chance.
- Are you?
Are you what he says you are?
- [Voice] That man
has no idea who I am.
- I'm not an evil person.
I did nothing wrong.
- I know child.
[person breathing]
[door knocking]
- Reverend, I thought
you were dead.
- Julian, what's the matter,
is there trouble?
- Not anymore.
Well, she's awake and
a bit quieter today.
- Good.
That means we can save
the poor girl's soul.
- Is everything okay?
I mean, should you be
drinking in a time like this?
- The drinking's
not a vice, Julian.
It's for protection.
She visits me at night, she
comes to me in my dreams.
The most vile obscenities
you can imagine.
- I think we need
to get some help.
We can't take her life
into our own hands.
Look at her.
She looks like we've
beaten her half to hell.
What is she gonna
tell her family?
- Julian, be quiet.
Your lack of faith is
beginning to get on my nerves.
Don't you think I
know what I'm doing?
- I think we should
call a real priest.
The churches have lost
their way, Julian.
There's not a single
so-called real priest
left in this country.
Only me,
and I'm as real as they get.
Now, I need my breakfast.
- It's afternoon reverend.
- All right then, lunch.
[footsteps walking]
[object banging]
- Holy fucking shit.
- Language.
- Seriously, are you kidding me?
- Your face, dude?
- You little shit, mom.
I'm calling child
services on you.
- Oh, my little Kas, come on,
the monsters won't hurt you.
- I brought some costume
options for my party,
wearing them was her idea.
- You put me up to it.
She said you needed a shock
to get your head straight.
Although I must say
you too share fondness
for some colorful language.
- The word I used was puss
clap and I stand by it.
- Sounds like you spoke to Didi.
- I tried, but she doesn't
want to discuss it actually.
Says she never wants to
think about you ever again.
- Sure, that's a bit much.
- Kas what happened,
just straight up.
- Nothing, Lina, really.
We argued, we broke up.
People get angry
during breakups.
- Okay, but did you
hurt her like hurt?
- No, no, is that what she said?
- I told you she doesn't
wanna talk about it.
- Good, she's over it.
I'm over it, let's all move on.
- So, since we're all over it,
does that mean you're
coming to my party?
- Oh, for fuck sakes Lina.
Okay, yes, yes, I'll
be at your party.
- Cool, just wanted to
straighten that out.
- Good, because your party
is the important
thing here, right?
- No, Kas.
The important thing here
is for you to remember
that you're not an asshole
and to stop acting
like such a big one.
And if you did
fuck up with Didi,
then apologize in
full and make peace,
preferably before my party.
Because if you cause a scene
at my once in a lifetime
big blowout bomb ass party,
then you'll get the puss
clap that you deserve.
That's what I thought,
don't be late.
[Kas sighing]
[door banging]
- Okay, okay.
- Reverend.
- Knock her out Julian,
[Esther shouting]
the demon's tearing
the poor girl apart.
- We can't keep on doing this.
- Julian, do as I command.
[dramatic music]
[Esther shouting]
- Esther, Esthr, Esther,
what are you doing?
- Julian, Julian,
please, please.
You have to stop this.
Day is killing me, Julian.
I don't think I can
take this much longer.
- Esther, Esther.
Esther, wake up.
Please, stop doing
this for your own sake.
Let the reverend do his work.
Let him save you.
- He's crazy Julian.
I am not possessed.
Please, Julian, you
have to listen to me.
- It's not my choice.
You have to convince
him that you are cured.
He's going to let you go
if he believes that you
are back to normal.
- How Julian, how
do I convince him?
He made up his mind before
he even met me Julian.
- I know, I know.
It might seem cruel to
you now, but Reverend Day,
he's a good man,
he will save you.
- Did he do this to you,
Julian, did he tie you up?
Did he drug you, beat
you with his Bible?
- I'm sorry Esther,
but this is out of my hands,
the reverend will have
to decide how to do this,
but for now
[Julian shouting]
[dramatic music]
- You die when I wake up.
[Esther breathing]
[machine whirring]
- Here you go.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, have
a good day, bye.
- Fuck, fuck.
[Kas sighing]
[cloth whirring]
- Any closer and I
scream pedophile.
- Didi, come on,
that's not necessary.
- Don't Didi come on
me, you piece of shit.
- Whoa, just take it easy.
Okay, I just came to apologize.
Just want to see how you are.
- Why?
- I know things got outta
hand the other night.
And I'm sorry, we
shouldn't have argued,
but we were drunk
and fooling around.
- You were drunk and high on
Loyd's alien mind fuck weed.
And you didn't listen
when I said no,
I said no so many times.
Don't fucking shush me.
[people chattering]
- Okay.
- Kasper, what the fuck, man?
You were this close to.
- Didi, I would never.
- I don't wanna hear
it, I was there.
I know what happened.
- Didi, I know I might be
an asshole when I'm drunk.
- Sober too.
- Fine, fine, I deserve that.
But, Didi, come on.
This is me you're talking to.
I would never do anything
to hurt you like that.
- How would I know?
Would you have stopped
if I hadn't kicked
you in the balls?
You know what, I'm
not gonna do this.
Fuck off or I tell
every girl I know
that you have a micro penis.
- Geez, Didi, my penis
is not that small.
- Oh, stick around
and it will be.
Now fuck off.
I don't sell ice
cream to assholes.
[board banging]
- Who's an asshole?
- He is.
Sorry, what do you want, babes?
- Slushi please.
- Red, blue or mixed?
- Blue.
[dramatic music]
[gentle music]
- I thought you were
going to help me.
- What?
- I'm being kept somewhere.
- How do I find you?
- I don't know, but I'm close.
I can feel you.
You must come looking.
- Just go around
yelling your name.
It's Esther, right?
How can I reward you if
you don't set me free?
- Okay, am I dreaming again?
- Does it matter?
I'm here, you're here.
If you can find me,
you can have me.
You can have all of me.
The things I would do for
my hero are boundless.
Wake up.
- What?
- Wake up.
Wake up.
[Kas breathing]
[upbeat music]
- Dude, I'm telling you,
there's something really weird
going on with this
girl in the news.
And the dream was
just way too real.
Even the.
- Yeah, that's all
terrible, seriously man.
Okay, check this out.
So I replaced the bong
water with poppers.
Dude, this shit
will blow your mind.
- Dude, put that thing down.
You'll melt your fucking brain.
- That's the point.
[door banging]
- Who is it?
- Jesus, Lina, that's
not funny, fuck.
- What's wrong with her?
- Anyway, dude, I don't even
know how to explain this dream.
This is the worst
dream I've ever had.
It was so real.
You don't even dream anymore.
- The fuck are you?
- I'm Ju, I'm John,
I live down the road.
I'm new to your
neighborhood, you know?
- Well, it's nice of
you to pop in John.
- Yeah.
I've seen you around.
You know, on the estate.
- Okay.
- Yeah see, man, I was
wondering if maybe you could,
help me out, you know?
- Dude.
Yeah, sorry.
Of course, what do you need?
You saw the sign down there.
It says you never have to
leave, we got everything.
Pool, restaurant,
ice cream shack.
Fuck there's a graveyard
if everything goes to shit.
- I need ketamine.
- I don't know what you're
talking about, officer.
- Okay dude, go try the
parking lot by the mall.
I'm sure you'll find some
teenagers to arrest there.
- Nah, I'm not a cop.
Look, sorry for the
misunderstanding.
- Okay, is he the worst cop
or the worst junkie
in the world?
- How much do you need?
- As much as you have.
- Okay, look, I could help
you out, but to be honest,
it doesn't look
like you can afford.
Holy shit dog.
Of course, man.
Like, I didn't realize you
was a fellow space cadet.
K will cost you
but hang on a sec.
- Get some needles as well.
- I usually charge extra for
that, but I think you sorted.
Hang one sec.
Okay, so how many
needles you need?
I got one, I'll just
give you them all.
This is my whole stash.
What happened to your ear?
- I got bitten by a dog, man.
[Lloyd laughing]
- No worry dude, it
happens to the worst of us.
All right, do me a favor.
Don't take it all in one please,
I can't have that
shit on my conscience.
- No, it's not for me.
Anyways, thank you.
God bless.
- Yeah, no problem.
- God bless you too, man.
- Ah, dude, man.
You take one look
at that freaky fuck
and tell me he's
not a lizard person.
- Since when are you
dealing heavy gauge?
- I follow the market.
- The fucking Ketamine markets?
- Dude, if I didn't do this,
I'd have to charge you
full price on your weed.
Besides, now I don't have
to work Lina's party.
In fact, I might even whip
up my batch of Shroom punch.
By the way, what
are you going as?
I was thinking of
going as Jacob Zoomer,
that dude scares
the shit outta me.
Or is black face still a thing?
- Among racists, yeah.
- Whatever, man.
I'm rich as fuck now
let's get high as fuck.
- God, man, get a grip.
- What the fuck is
wrong with you, man?
God.
[gentle music]
- I got it Reverend.
- Good, that's good,
Julian, that's good.
She's still out.
- Well, let me take this.
[dog barking]
Are you okay reverend?
- Secular Media is on
another witch hunt.
- [Announcer] The search
for 18 year old Esther
and the lay preacher
Randall Day presumed
to have taken the girl
is still ongoing.
An official search
warrant has been issued,
and a formal
investigation is underway.
- I had to show you this first
because they're
after both of us.
- Do they know about this house?
- I hope not.
But you never know, today
with hacking and drones.
And what not.
- I cannot go to jail.
I won't be able to
see my daughter again.
- Don't worry about it.
We've just gotta keep
one step ahead of them
until we can free the
girl from the demon.
- We need to get
her out of here.
- We can't free the girl.
The demon will deceive the world
about what we've done here.
God's truth will not be known.
- And if they find
her in this condition?
- They can't find her.
They can't.
Either we cure her or..
[upbeat music]
- Now what?
- I need to go pray, Julian.
I need to square a few
things with the big man.
[upbeat music]
- You came.
- The fur ball and the slime.
And you guys dressed,
what sort of, what are you
you supposed to be, Loyd?
- One of them.
You look nice, Lina.
- Bullshit, I look
like a God damn
future space pirate Princess.
Everything cool
with you and Didi?
- Yes, yes, yes.
Let's not speak about it.
Things are still a bit tense,
so I'm just gonna
keep my mask on.
- No nonsense eh?
- Aye aye future captain
Pirate space princess.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Don't be mad, but
I bought some punch.
- Yeah, why would I be mad?
- What?
- Thank you, just put
it in the kitchen.
I'll check you guys later.
[Lloyd laughing]
[people howling]
- Dude I can't believe she's
so fucking cool with it.
- Dude, you just said punch,
not psychedelic power soup.
- Whatever, it was implied, man.
[person laughing]
[door slamming]
[door banging]
- Okay, demon.
- Esther, if you're in there.
- This is it, the
end of the line.
- I can't allow them to
find you here with me.
- If you won't let the girl go.
- I can't allow you to wake up.
- I'll send you
both to the creator.
Let him decide who goes where.
- I'm sorry.
[gentle music]
[dramatic music]
- What have you done?
- I'm sorry.
- What have you done?
[Esther breathing]
- Lina has other friends?
- Dude, what the fuck
is up with a dead baby?
- No idea, but this
is some weird shit.
- Damn dude.
- Optimism, Loyd.
- Dude, I think you've
got a chance, man.
- Think so?
- Just go and introduce yourself
and tell her about
the Lizard people.
Chicks love conspiracy theories.
- You serious?
- Yeah, go.
[upbeat music]
- Man, fuck that chick,
I was watching this documentary
about lizard people
and they were saying
how they don't know
how to use human hands.
What you need to do is you
need to watch the hands.
Damn, she's got
some human hands.
[Esther breathing]
- What the fuck did you
guys put in the punch?
- I told Loyd to
speak to you first.
He put some shrooms
or something in there.
Did you drink it?
- Do I look like someone who
drinks from a cooler box?
Everybody's fucking wasted man.
Where is that lizard
brain imbecile?
- I swear, I've
studied them for years.
If they attack, I
can defend myself.
- Can somebody please get
this guy away from me?
He keeps talking about lizards
and I can't take it anymore.
- What?
There are lizard
people at this party?
- Dude, just chill out.
- Great fucking party, right.
- Man, everybody's wasted.
- Great fucking party.
- No you stupid motherfucker,
why didn't you tell me
you spiked the punch?
[upbeat music]
- Kas.
Okay, this is freaky
everybody, not cool.
- I thought I was.
- Is this like some
weird flash mob thing
or do you think everybody
has mushroom poisoning?
Oh fuck do you
think Loyd's right
about the lizard people?
Loyd?
- I don't know, I don't know.
[dramatic music]
- Kas, I'm not cool
with any part of this.
[doors banging]
- What's going on?
Who are these people?
- [Voice] I found them
here, they're lost.
Confused, dreaming,
but still useful.
- For what?
- [Voice] To find us.
- Kas, I don't think we're
dreaming, this shit is real.
- How, we don't even
know where we are.
- [Voice] We're
weak but I can bite,
you have to give me
everything you got.
- What the fuck
is going on here?
- I told you, I've been
dreaming like crazy.
I think this is one of them.
- Look, you keep saying that.
But how the fuck
am I in your dream?
- This looks like the time
when Dream Girl came for me.
[dramatic music]
[Esther whispering]
- No.
- [Voice whispering]
Clear your mind and focus.
- What do you want
to know friend?
This is me, Lina, the real me.
- I'm pretty sure I'd know
if I'm fucking dreaming.
And this is one of them, okay?
Put up with enough of your
shit in my waking life.
- What the fuck, ow.
- Did that wake you
'cause I can keep going.
[people clapping]
- Closer or Further?
- Further
[upbeat music]
- [Voice] They're close
now, can you hear?
- Yes.
Yes, I can hear them.
[dog barking]
[upbeat music]
[Esther breathing]
[insects chirping]
- I need more power, give
me everything you have.
[Esther screaming]
[upbeat music]
[people thudding]
- What the hell's going on?
- What the fuck are they doing?
- I think Ester's in there.
I'm going to the front.
- They're going to kill someone,
some weird zombie
apocalypse shit going on.
Loyd, Loyd, get the
fuck out of here.
[Esther shouting]
What the fuck are
you doing, boy?
What are you all doing, huh?
Are you on fucking drugs.
All of you go home right now.
I'm not afraid of
murdering kids hey?
- Just pull your shit together.
- That's it girly.
[speaking in foreign language]
[person thudding]
[people shouting]
- Kas, will you come on!
- Yeah boy.
Get up man.
Get up I said man,
get over here.
Sir, open the door.
Open the door.
[Esther breathing]
- Are they coming for us?
- No, but we are
coming for them.
[stones whirring]
- Guys, this cannot be
a coincidence, okay?
Esther disappears from
this weird Jesus camp.
And then this preacher
man appears in our complex
with a mob of shroom
zombies at his door.
- You say that as
if that's some sort
of rational explanation
for what just happened.
- Maybe she's like
one of those people
who can do shit with
their minds, telepathy.
- Maybe she's not a people.
Maybe she's.
- Say one more fucking word.
This shit is serious, man.
These monsters, they
torture queer kids
and they make them believe
there's something
wrong with them.
- I know how this sounds,
but she came to me
in my dreams and
asked for my help.
And now I know where she is.
This is my chance.
- Your chance.
To what, be a man.
Fuck that, call the police.
- Fuck the police.
- And what if I'm wrong?
Don't they arrest people
for lying to the cops?
- So what do you wanna
rescue the damsel in distress
all by yourself Kas?
- Okay, fine.
Let's go check it out
first, see what's going on.
See if he's there.
I mean, after what
just happened,
there has to be
something fucking weird
going on there, right?
Are you telling me you're
not the least but curious?
- Curious.
No, creeped out very much yes.
That's some weird juju voodoo
bullshit going on there, man.
- Lina, if you were
locked up in there,
you would wish for
someone like you
to listen to someone
like me right about now.
- Okay, but here are the rules.
We only go to look,
if we see the cowboy,
we call the police, okay?
If we see anything weird,
we call the police.
- The police are fucking
controlled by the lizard people.
- And this fucking
space cadet stays.
[insects chirping]
[stones whirring]
- Oh, I don't know, sir.
Kids these days have no bloody
in respect if you ask me.
If it's not drinking and drugs,
it's planking and Pokemon.
- Well as long as
no one got hurt,
I don't think it's necessary
for us to call the police.
- Well, that's fine by me.
If the police knew what they
were doing, I wouldn't be here.
- Right, right.
Well, thank you
again for your help.
You are the hero
of the hour, sir.
- All in a day's work.
Good night, Laurence.
I hope everything simmers down.
[footsteps walking]
[door whirring]
- Going somewhere, Julian,
or should I call you
Judas from now on?
- Reverend it's not what--
- So she's turned
you against me.
- Reverend, I'm not against you.
Reverend, please.
We cannot go on like this,
I cannot go on like this.
We're gonna end up killing
her or she's gonna kill us,
or the police are gonna find us.
We have to let her
go, make this right.
- That's exactly what
we're doing, Julian.
We are making things right.
But I admit this one
is going down the line.
I don't know if the girl
will outlast the demon,
but we can't run away
from our divine duty.
We've gotta keep the cause.
- Reverend, I'm not sure
that we're still
doing the Lord's work.
He wouldn't want this.
Tonight was a sign.
- Tonight was a test.
And your faith is
lukewarm Julian,
you will be spat out for it.
- It's not like that, I
just don't see how we.
- We?
There is no we, if
you renounce me.
- Well then, this is where
we part ways Mr. Day.
- Ah, I believe we
have a small problem.
You see,
I am Reverend Randall Day,
beloved among God's flock.
Even more beloved among the
God-fearing congregations.
And you, Julian, are
not beloved by anybody.
You are a friendless,
jobless junkie
whose family don't
even wish to know him.
- Don't talk to me like that.
- You're staying here.
You will keep Esther sedated.
When I come back we are
moving her somewhere safe,
somewhere where I
can work in peace.
- Please, you can't
leave me here with her.
- I can, and I will.
Arrangements have to be
made but I will be back.
If you can hold your
faith until then,
I will release you
from my service.
- Reverend please,
she's going to wake up.
- If you run, I
will come after you
with the full
force of God's law.
My law.
Christ may be merciful,
but I'm an Old
Testament kind of man.
[upbeat music]
- Okay, cool, we
came, we watched it.
No cowboy, no abducted girl.
Let's just go.
- Just hang on.
- Reverend, just give
me a moment there.
We need to talk about this.
Come on, man, listen.
Listen, you can't leave
me here with her alone.
- The darkest hour is just
before dawn, brother Julian,
stand firm.
I will be back and I will
release you from your burden.
- Reverend, please,
please, please, please.
She wants to kill me.
Just go there and just sedate
her before you go, please.
- I don't have time
for this Julian.
- Do what you must.
- Reverend, Reverend.
- Going in for a closer look.
- Is that him?
- It's him.
Where's the cowboy hat?
- I don't know, but it's him.
- Kas, I don't think
that's him then.
- It's him.
- Yeah, listen, I've got some
information about that girl.
I think I saw her.
[upbeat music]
Yeah, that's the one.
Listen, I think I
know where she is.
[vehicle whirring]
- Okay.
- For real this
time, I'm going in.
- There's no way it's open.
[door whirring]
- No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
No way, you said
we're just looking
and I didn't see anything.
So we're not breaking in.
- Guys, we've come this far.
Let's go.
[gentle music]
- That's fucking--
- Sssh!
- That's John from
the other day.
- Is the reverend running
a crack house or something?
- Maybe it's just like a church
halfway house or something.
- Fucking go back to
step one of the program.
- Let's check the back.
[Esther shouting]
Shit.
- What?
- It's locked.
I'm gonna go and try
and find the key.
Just wait here.
- It's okay, just
fucking breathe.
[gentle music]
[Kas sighs]
[object banging]
- Shit.
[dramatic music]
[Esther Shouting]
- Oh my God, look.
[dramatic music]
[person breathing]
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
- Dude, what the fuck
is wrong with her?
- She's been
kidnapped and drugged.
- It's okay now Ester,
I've got you, I've got you.
Fuck.
[stabbing sounds]
- Julian, I left my hat.
- Esther, damn it.
Damn it!
[dramatic music]
Shit.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck just happened?
- What have you done?
- What we've done,
what do you mean?
- You are the maniac
who kidnapped her.
- Yeah, fuck you, man.
- Get back.
- Dude, just calm down.
We're not looking for trouble.
- Who are you?
- Please, please sir
just put down the weapon.
- You have no idea what
you've just unleashed.
- Fucking Kasper's dream girl?
- What do you mean?
- Esther, yes, she came
to me in my dreams.
- Your dreams, so
she got to you too.
- She just asked
for my help man.
- Here we are fucking helping.
- Helping?
You've just condemned us all.
That was no girl,
that was a demon.
- What, dude,
demons don't exist.
[Reverend laughing]
One of the greatest tools
in the devil's infernal
arsenal is gullibility.
What are you doing?
Don't you touch that phone?
Get it out now,
outta your pocket.
All of you, cell
phones, on the table,
you too and you.
- Demon or not, that guy
just got his shit wrecked.
We need to call the cops.
- Tell them what?
That guy's blood is
on all your hands.
What do you think the
cops are gonna say
when they walk in here?
They find three teenagers
who've just broken into a house
and a dead guy
lying on the couch.
- That's not fair.
We have nothing to do with this.
- You set her free.
And now my trusted
disciple is dead.
I think it's time that you
three joined God's flock.
[grass whirring]
[birds chirping]
[children screaming]
[person humming]
[dramatic music]
[water splashing]
[brush whirring]
[dramatic music]
[water splashing]
- What's happening,
what are you doing?
No, no, no, no.
[boy screaming]
Oh my God.
Anybody, help, help
us, help me, anybody.
Help! Help!
Anybody!
Help us!
Help us!
Please!
- The only way to stop her
is to drive that demonic spirit
back to the lake of fire.
- Sir, Mr. Priest, no offense,
but I don't believe in...
- Reverend Day, are you
serious about all of this?
- Serious as sin girl.
- Then I wanna help you.
But I don't know how
any of this works.
- That's the spirit girl.
I pray to God for aid
and he sent me you three.
It must be Providence.
- I don't know if
this means anything,
but Kasper has a
connection with her.
- Really, how?
- I don't know, she
came to me in dreams.
Vile and obscene, right?
- Yes, full of temptations.
Just sinning everywhere.
- That's how they work,
they tempt the weak willed.
- Hey.
- You're right.
We let her go and we
have an obligation.
So how can we help you?
- Well, first we
have to find her.
That's if you're
willing to help me.
- Yes.
- Are you with me?
- Yes.
- Are you with me?
- Amen Reverend.
- My knuckle.
[grass whirring]
- Okay, now listen up.
She can't have left the estate,
so we're gonna split up.
Big guy, you with me, you two.
- Go, go, go.
- No, come back.
- You cowards, you
snakes of Satan.
[dramatic music]
- Fuck.
[Didi screaming]
- I need power, be quiet.
[dramatic music]
[Didi screaming]
[Didi crying]
[gentle music]
- Sir, stop, please.
Stop, stop.
I need your help, something
terrible has happened.
- Show me.
- This way.
[all panting]
- Come on, come on.
- Fuck Loyd are you serious?
- Fuck, I don't know.
- Loyd, where are your parents?
I don't know, man, you're
fucking buying cigarettes.
- Open the fucking door.
- Guys, my house is the closest.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go, come on.
[dramatic music]
- We finally settled in.
Like everything's beautiful.
The neighbors came and
visit, yeah, they did.
It's the best place.
I'm so glad.
- No.
- [woman on phone It's
like the safest place.
- Who invited you?
- She'll say, okay,
whoever came to the house,
you will love it.
People are so friendly.
[woman screaming]
- It's the drugs reverend.
The kids these
days are monsters.
- Yeah.
You know, I'm just terrified
they're gonna do it again.
And you say they're on.
Yeah, afraid so,
I've called the cops,
they're on their way.
But until they get here,
you're the only help we have.
- Wait here, I have my
own gun at the gate.
[dramatic music]
[Kas screaming]
- Your Mom's a
fucking lizard person.
- It's spreading,
we have to stop it.
- Let's get outta here.
- What about your mother
and Didi and everybody else?
- What am I supposed to do?
I don't know how to
kill a fucking demon.
- Not gonna destroy my mom.
Let's go, let's go,
come on, let's go.
[Mom screaming]
- It's me listen,
whatever you hear or see on
the television and radio,
don't believe it, all right.
The girl is possessed,
she's done some terrible,
terrible things, I'll
explain when I get there.
I'm on my way.
[car whirring]
[dramatic music]
[Reverend grunting]
[grass whirring]
[gentle music]
[sticks whirring]
- Shit, that's the rev's car.
We need to open the gate.
Loyd, go check if you can
find the button inside.
It has to be somewhere.
- Let's just think about this,
are we really fucking bailing?
- Yes.
- Okay, but what about your mama
and Didi and everybody else?
- What do you want
me to do, Lina?
- The right thing Kas.
- I'm fucking stressed okay.
- Stop fucking around.
Okay, go see if we can
open the gates, I'll drive.
Come on.
[upbeat music]
- Kas, just wait, just
to stop a minute, okay?
I know everything's really
fucked up right now,
but we have to do
something, okay?
We let her out and
we can't just leave.
- I don't give a
about everyone, okay?
I don't want to die.
- You're being a
fucking asshole.
- If being an asshole's
what keeps me alive
then that's fine by me.
- Fuck, sir, there's
an huge fuck up,
people are dead, I don't know
if they're on
drugs or something,
but they're killing
people everywhere's.
- He left his keys in here.
- Yes sir, no, everything
is on lockdown.
Nobody's getting out.
- I thought the lizard
people would get me.
Well, I guess there's a demon.
- Fuck.
[gun banging]
[gentle music]
Stand back.
Come back!
- Kas.
- Stop!
[gun banging]
- Kas!
- Lina.
[gun banging]
[insects chirping]
[dog barking]
[Kas breathing]
- Fuck.
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
- No.
Don't fight me child,
I will have my due.
We're so close, with
these sacrifices,
I will have more power than
you can possibly imagine,
I will make you a goddess.
[Esther breathing]
- Kas, you fuck, I
thought you left me.
- We need to get out of here.
- God Kas, you need to hurry up.
- You!
- Get me the fuck
out of here, Kas.
[Lina breathing]
[insects chirping]
- Lina.
Fuck Loyd.
- My hero.
- Ester, Esther,
please don't do this.
- What's a sacrifice
without a virgin?
- Don't do this to me
Ester please, I saved you.
- You did get me
out of that hole.
So I will spare you.
Whether she will
is another matter.
- Didi, please don't do this.
- Kas, I promise you,
- This is not you, Didi.
Don't listen to her,
you're a good person.
[stabbing noise]
- Kas! Didi, please Didi.
[Kas breathing heavily]
- Now I walk the shadow
of the valley of death,
I shall fear no evil.
- Reverend, you're awake.
- Oh God, oh Jesus.
- Where was your god when
this girl needed saving?
- Oh Lord, protect my flock.
Let this cup pass Lord.
Lord, let it pass.
- You invited me, Reverend,
come share this cup with me.
- Be damned devil woman,
back to hell with you.
- You created hell on earth
and condemned people to it.
- Condemned, I'm a shepherd
and my flock is an army
that marches against the devil.
- You should know
by now, Reverend,
when you go looking for
the devil in everything,
you're bound to
find her eventually.
- Esther please,
please, if you can hear me,
please just listen to me.
- Be quiet.
- Don't let her do this to you,
remember your name's Esther.
- Abomination.
[dramatic music]
- Relax reverend.
We have a flock
that needs tending.

- [Dad] Esther,
what are you doing?
- Nothing.
- [Dad] I asked you,
what are you two doing?
- Nothing.
- Answer me, come
here, come here.
- Ow, ow,
- Walk!
- Dad.
- Just walk.
[gentle music]
- Hey Zoe, I'm so sorry about
what happened yesterday.
I hope you're okay.
I'm grounded, but
whatever, it's fine,
I miss you.
Hey, sorry I haven't
answered your calls.
My dad just told
me that he wants
to send me to a church camp
with like other
gay kids and stuff.
I'm not gonna go,
so don't worry.
But I just wanted to tell
you, he's totally freaked out.
- [Dad] Esther.
- No signal in
this bloody place,
So, we're at a
petrol station now,
and it's probably the last
one until I get to this camp
that I'm actually
going to, it's fine.
But they're gonna
confiscate my phone
so I won't be able
to talk to you.
It's fine, it's gonna be fine.
I love you and I'll see you
when all this is over, okay?
[knocks on door]
- [Dad] Esther?
- I'm coming.
[car beeping]
[door banging]
[birds chirping]
- Well, so how are the others?
- They're fine, beginning
to see the light.
Thank God it's only the
one, might be a lost case.
- [Reverend] There's
no such a thing.
How old is he?
- She.
- It's a girl?
- Esther.
She's the first girl to
get into the sin bin.
- Put a girl in the bin?
- I didn't know what else to do.
She's very aggressive.
I'm sorry.
- No need to be, women
wanted to be treated equally
until they are.
Father God, thank you
for this day Father God.
Father God, please
guide us as we ourselves
please guide our
children, father God.
And help us to dispel Satan
from them, father God.
Your name.
[chair whirring]
- Esther.
- Reverend.
Reverend, please,
I wanna go home.
- And you will
when you're better.
- But there's nothing
wrong with me.
- Don't be afraid, Esther.
It's for your own good.
- What?
- Councilor Hahnemann
showed me porn Reverend,
he put me in a dress, he
even threatened to rape me.
He said that he'd remind
me what my vagina was for.
- God gave women the
privilege to procreate.
Why would you deny
such an honor?
- Being gay is not a sin
reverend, God still loves me.
He knows that I'm happy.
- Then why are you so
upset, why are you crying?
- Because I'm tired and
scared, and I haven't slept.
Please, Reverend.
- I'm sorry, but desperate times
call for desperate measures.
You're not to blame,
it's not your fault.
- Then let me go.
- I will let you go when
you let the girl go,
demon.
- What?
- You're not gay,
you're possessed.
- What?
- You are not
welcome here demon.
- I'm not a demon
Reverend, stop.
You can't do that,
I'm not a demon.
- Be quiet demon,
this is God's child.
[reverend laughing]
You can't fool me, demon.
[dramatic music]
This is God's child.
She belongs with the almighty.
- Something isn't right,
please stop, please
stop, please stop.
- In the name of the lamb.
- Please stop reverend,
something is happening.
- I order you to
leave this child.
- Get out, get out, get out.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- I hate you.
[Esther crying]
- You don't hate me.
You hate yourself.
That's why you live in sin.
- Get out, get out.
Get out, get out, get out.
[Esther shouting]
[Esther breathing]
[Reverend slapping]
[Lloyd grunting]
- Oh shit, that's creepy.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but at least
she's getting the landman.
- Hi, Lina, cheers Loyd.
- Hi, Didi.
That's cold.
How does it feel knowing
you messed that up?
- Not now Lina.
- Dumb ass.
[gentle music]
- Ah shit.
- Now who's the idiot?
- Not again, man Loyd.
- It's not my fault we
live in a fucking prison.
Dude, can you please
just buzz me in?
I forgot my card.
- I cannot do that.
- What the, I live here.
Come on, I see you every day.
We've been through
this, man. Come on.
- Sir, could you just please
sign in my dumbass friend.
- Sign in is only
for the visitors.
- Ah-ha, so you
admit I'm a resident.
- You could be a murderer
or a drug dealer for all I know.
- Okay, let's just take...
- Please fuck off.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
- Can you sign in
for me, please?
- Yeah, you're literally
standing in the way of the Lord.
So whatever you gotta do,
you better do it quickly.
[dramatic music]
- Fuck.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Say the same about you.
- Oy, watch it boy.
I'm not afraid of kids.
- I found it.
- Thanks Lina, fuck you.
[machine beeping]
[gentle music]
- Guys I'm telling
you, the lizard people,
they're real go do
your fucking research.
That security guard,
he's a lizard person.
They use these
security complexes
for their scientific
experiments or some shit.
- Here we go again.
- Loyd, I think all that weed,
you smoke is actually
turning your brain to shit.
No, thank you.
I actually have
something to do today.
- Like what homework?
- No, but the trick
would probably be
a good time to start, Loyd.
I'm actually going
costume shopping
for my party,
this weekend,
which I stupidly
invited both of you to.
- Fuck, I'm in.
- Let's get wasted.
- Is Didi gonna be there?
- Yeah, everybody's
gonna be there.
- Yep, that's a no from me.
- Get over your self
Kas, people break up.
- Not like this.
- Shut the fuck up, Loyd.
- What does that mean?
- Our boy here
broke up with Didi
because she wouldn't
have sex with him.
- What, Kas is that true?
- Okay, it sounds really bad
when you say it like that.
- It sounds real shitty the
way her friend's tell it.
- Wait, what, what do
you mean who said what?
- Kas what did you do?
- Nothing Lina,
nothing.
[birds chirping]
[gentle music]
[door banging]
- Oh, Reverend.
[man laughing]
Reverend, hi.
- Brother Julian.
- Yes.
- How are you?
- I'm okay, how are you sir?
- I'm fine.
Julian, can I trust you?
- Of course, Reverend.
- Good, because your faith
is about to be tested.
- How can I help?
- Open the garage door.
[upbeat music]
[Kas sighing]
[door whirring]
[footsteps banging]
[objects whirring]
[Kas sighing]
- Brothers and sisters,
I personally invite you to
join our growing movement,
the Soldiers of Faith.
Last year, more than 100,000 men
and boys worshipped together.
And this year we have
opened up the event
to our wives and daughters too.
Be part of this
unstoppable movement
as we turn South
Africa back to Jesus.
May God be with you.
[gentle music]
[gun banging]
- My son.
And he's busy not
doing his homework.
- Hey, this is what you get
when you leave your
children unsupervised.
Where have you been?
- I told you I had the
church function today.
- You still going
to that church, huh?
- Ah, you're back in
your underwear, huh?
- They were just on the TV.
Reverend Randy's massive
gathering in Pretoria.
Are you going?
- I wish I could, but
I have work to do.
- Shame, who wouldn't want to be
on a weekend away in
the middle of nowhere
with a cowboy yelling at them?
- You can laugh all you
want, but just remember,
I don't get to take a plus
one to heaven one day.
And even if I could,
it won't be you.
Speaking of which, where's Didi?
Is she coming for dinner?
- No.
- Oh.
- She's got a thing
with her family tonight.
- Oh, shame, pity,
because I'm making my
famous chicken nachos.
- Ah, see now that's
better parenting.
- That girl, a demon.
- She's possessed
by a demon Julian.
And we have been
tasked with saving her.
But what about her parents?
- Her father was the
one who brought her
to me in the first place.
Julian, out of 15 in the camp,
14 have been saved,
I can't let this one go.
You said you trusted
me, do you still?
- Of course I do reverend,
- I could always get a deacon
in the church to help me.
- No, no, no, reverend,
It's just that, you
know about my record,
I mean, this feels awful
lot like kidnapping.
[Reverend laughing]
- Those are human laws, Julian,
we're in God's country now.
You know, Julian, the first
time that you came to me,
I knew that God
had a plan for you.
That he wanted me to make
a soldier out of you,
fighting the darkness
side by side.
That's why the church
let you move in here
so that you could get
back on your feet again.
- And I appreciate that.
- Then help me, help
me save this lost lamb.
A doctor in my
congregation got me this.
It's completely safe.
[zip whirring]
[dramatic music]
It's legal Julian, they
use it in minor surgeries.
- I can't take this.
- It wouldn't be a
true test of your faith
if it was easy Julian.
- I haven't touched a
needle in eight months.
- Good, that means you
are strong with God.
Julian, I've never used
this stuff, I don't...
I need your help.
The doctor marked the
syringes so no more than that
if we want her
calm, not catatonic.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Aren't you coming?
- It's been a rough
couple of days, Julian,
that beast did its
best to break me.
I've seen a lot of
bad things in my life
but I've never seen
anything like this.
- I can't do this alone.
- Just keep her sedated.
That way she can't
harm herself or you.
I need to prepare and rest.
[gentle music]
You don't have anything
to drink, do you?
- Only water.
- No, I need to
fortify my spirits.
- I can't keep
alcohol in the house.
- Ah, yes, of
course, go with God.
[door whirring]
[Esther grunting]
[insects chirping]
[phone beeping]
[Kas sighing]
- Fuck.
You like that?
Yeah I see you.
[Kas laughing]
[vehicle whirring]
- And please, father
God, if it be your will,
help me to save this girl and
help me to protect your flock.
And please, father God, use
me against the darkness.
You prepared me for
this, I am ready.
And please God, please
fortify my mind.
Make still my dreams
that I may rest tonight
before the fight ahead.
And please Father God, look
after Annie and the girls.
And forgive me my sins, Amen.
[dramatic music]
[skateboard whirring]
[gentle music]
[insects chirping]
- [Kasper] Didi.
- Kasper?
- No, Kasper, no.
- Hold on, take it easy.
It's okay.
- No, I said no.
- It won't hurt, I promise.
- Kasper no.
- You just need to relax.
- No Kasper, No.
- Who the fuck are you?
- What were you
gonna do with her?
- Nothing, nothing, I swear.
- Nothing, that didn't
look like nothing to me.
You're one of those guys.
- What, no, no, I'm a nice guy.
- You're not a good man.
I know you.
I tasted you.
- What?
- When I first
woke up, with him.
Were you with him?
- With who?
- That God botherer.
- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- And who are you, where are we?
- I'm Kasper, we're
in the eye of Africa.
It's a security estate.
Rich people behind
high walls and a gate.
- So I'm trapped
inside this place.
Kasper, can you find me?
- You're right here.
- No, I'm not, but I'm close.
I'm in danger.
- I don't know what
you're talking ab--
- Kasper.
Whoa, what are you doing?
- Please, you must help me
Kasper, won't you help me?
- Please Kasper,
you must find me.
- Kasper, hey,
wake up sleepy boy.
- Mom, what are you doing?
I was still..
- It's time for school.
Breakfast is ready and
I'm leaving for work.
Get up or you'll be late.
- Okay, okay, I'll
be there in a sec.
[birds chirping]
[Kas sighing]
- All right.
[door whirring]
- Oh shit.
Aren't you afraid of
dealing from home?
- No, everyone's
doing drugs now.
It's practically legal.
- That's not true Loyd.
- Whatever man, tell me about
that dream girl of yours.
Did you fuck her?
- More like she fucked me.
I've never had a
dream like that.
- Ah, dude, I wish
I could dream.
- You don't dream?
- Nope, it's the dope.
Didn't you know, dude
smoking so much weed,
it kills your dreams.
Like, I've got no dreams.
- Super vivid.
More real than real, you know?
- Sounds a lot less complicated
than your real
life relationship.
- Loyd, you don't believe
the rumors do you?
- About the lizard people?
Fuck yes, I do.
Those motherfuckers are
trying to take over the world.
- No man.
I'm speaking about the
rumors about me and Didi.
- Oh Kas.
- Dude, I didn't hurt her.
Okay, we were just a bit
drunk and fooling around.
- Dude, Kas, whatever
happened, happened.
- Nothing, nothing happened.
I didn't do shit.
This whole Me Too man,
everyone's looking
for a scandal.
How am I supposed
to lose my virginity
if I can't even do anything?
- Have you ever thought
about being the type of guy
that girls want
to have sex with?
- Like you would know
anything about that?
- Oh fuck you, dude, I told
you about me and Katrina.
We hooked up over the..
- What fucking ever, dude, you
started that rumor yourself.
- And you know there's
no smoke without a fire.
And this is from
a big fat juicy J.
- Yo yo, turn that up.
- Came to light this morning
when the girl's mother
contacted the authorities.
- Dude, that's her!
- That's who?
- The dream girl.
Center of controversy.
There have been
previous allegations
of misconduct and
abuse at these camps.
And now claims of gay
conversion therapy sessions
being held in the dilapidated
building behind me.
All attempts to contact
the self-styled minister
have been fruitless.
The police have asked that
anyone with any information
regarding the disappearance
of Ester contact them.
[gentle music]
- She's real.
- Real gone, yeah.
- What the fuck?
- Dude, you probably
dreamt about it
because you saw her in the news.
- How could I, this is new news.
- Oh my God, I
just got it, dude.
- What?
- The news.
- What about it?
- It's the news, dude
it's new information,
new stuff that we are being fed.
New stuff that we need
to know, it's news.
- Loyd dude, do you
know what this means?
This girl is real
like she exists.
And she asked for my help.
- She got pretty shitty
taste in guys then.
- Are you still there?
[person breathing]
Please, please don't, please.
- [Voice] Calm yourself child.
- I don't understand.
- Who are you?
- [Voice] I'm your
only friend right now.
- Why can't I see you?
- You will, when we're ready.
Everyone will.
- I don't like this.
I don't want this, please.
- [Voice] There's no one
else here for you but me.
I can get us out of here but
you must stop fighting me.
Open yourself up.
- What will you do?
- [Voice] I will help.
- How?
- [Voice] We need to get
up, I need such chance.
- Are you?
Are you what he says you are?
- [Voice] That man
has no idea who I am.
- I'm not an evil person.
I did nothing wrong.
- I know child.
[person breathing]
[door knocking]
- Reverend, I thought
you were dead.
- Julian, what's the matter,
is there trouble?
- Not anymore.
Well, she's awake and
a bit quieter today.
- Good.
That means we can save
the poor girl's soul.
- Is everything okay?
I mean, should you be
drinking in a time like this?
- The drinking's
not a vice, Julian.
It's for protection.
She visits me at night, she
comes to me in my dreams.
The most vile obscenities
you can imagine.
- I think we need
to get some help.
We can't take her life
into our own hands.
Look at her.
She looks like we've
beaten her half to hell.
What is she gonna
tell her family?
- Julian, be quiet.
Your lack of faith is
beginning to get on my nerves.
Don't you think I
know what I'm doing?
- I think we should
call a real priest.
The churches have lost
their way, Julian.
There's not a single
so-called real priest
left in this country.
Only me,
and I'm as real as they get.
Now, I need my breakfast.
- It's afternoon reverend.
- All right then, lunch.
[footsteps walking]
[object banging]
- Holy fucking shit.
- Language.
- Seriously, are you kidding me?
- Your face, dude?
- You little shit, mom.
I'm calling child
services on you.
- Oh, my little Kas, come on,
the monsters won't hurt you.
- I brought some costume
options for my party,
wearing them was her idea.
- You put me up to it.
She said you needed a shock
to get your head straight.
Although I must say
you too share fondness
for some colorful language.
- The word I used was puss
clap and I stand by it.
- Sounds like you spoke to Didi.
- I tried, but she doesn't
want to discuss it actually.
Says she never wants to
think about you ever again.
- Sure, that's a bit much.
- Kas what happened,
just straight up.
- Nothing, Lina, really.
We argued, we broke up.
People get angry
during breakups.
- Okay, but did you
hurt her like hurt?
- No, no, is that what she said?
- I told you she doesn't
wanna talk about it.
- Good, she's over it.
I'm over it, let's all move on.
- So, since we're all over it,
does that mean you're
coming to my party?
- Oh, for fuck sakes Lina.
Okay, yes, yes, I'll
be at your party.
- Cool, just wanted to
straighten that out.
- Good, because your party
is the important
thing here, right?
- No, Kas.
The important thing here
is for you to remember
that you're not an asshole
and to stop acting
like such a big one.
And if you did
fuck up with Didi,
then apologize in
full and make peace,
preferably before my party.
Because if you cause a scene
at my once in a lifetime
big blowout bomb ass party,
then you'll get the puss
clap that you deserve.
That's what I thought,
don't be late.
[Kas sighing]
[door banging]
- Okay, okay.
- Reverend.
- Knock her out Julian,
[Esther shouting]
the demon's tearing
the poor girl apart.
- We can't keep on doing this.
- Julian, do as I command.
[dramatic music]
[Esther shouting]
- Esther, Esthr, Esther,
what are you doing?
- Julian, Julian,
please, please.
You have to stop this.
Day is killing me, Julian.
I don't think I can
take this much longer.
- Esther, Esther.
Esther, wake up.
Please, stop doing
this for your own sake.
Let the reverend do his work.
Let him save you.
- He's crazy Julian.
I am not possessed.
Please, Julian, you
have to listen to me.
- It's not my choice.
You have to convince
him that you are cured.
He's going to let you go
if he believes that you
are back to normal.
- How Julian, how
do I convince him?
He made up his mind before
he even met me Julian.
- I know, I know.
It might seem cruel to
you now, but Reverend Day,
he's a good man,
he will save you.
- Did he do this to you,
Julian, did he tie you up?
Did he drug you, beat
you with his Bible?
- I'm sorry Esther,
but this is out of my hands,
the reverend will have
to decide how to do this,
but for now
[Julian shouting]
[dramatic music]
- You die when I wake up.
[Esther breathing]
[machine whirring]
- Here you go.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you, have
a good day, bye.
- Fuck, fuck.
[Kas sighing]
[cloth whirring]
- Any closer and I
scream pedophile.
- Didi, come on,
that's not necessary.
- Don't Didi come on
me, you piece of shit.
- Whoa, just take it easy.
Okay, I just came to apologize.
Just want to see how you are.
- Why?
- I know things got outta
hand the other night.
And I'm sorry, we
shouldn't have argued,
but we were drunk
and fooling around.
- You were drunk and high on
Loyd's alien mind fuck weed.
And you didn't listen
when I said no,
I said no so many times.
Don't fucking shush me.
[people chattering]
- Okay.
- Kasper, what the fuck, man?
You were this close to.
- Didi, I would never.
- I don't wanna hear
it, I was there.
I know what happened.
- Didi, I know I might be
an asshole when I'm drunk.
- Sober too.
- Fine, fine, I deserve that.
But, Didi, come on.
This is me you're talking to.
I would never do anything
to hurt you like that.
- How would I know?
Would you have stopped
if I hadn't kicked
you in the balls?
You know what, I'm
not gonna do this.
Fuck off or I tell
every girl I know
that you have a micro penis.
- Geez, Didi, my penis
is not that small.
- Oh, stick around
and it will be.
Now fuck off.
I don't sell ice
cream to assholes.
[board banging]
- Who's an asshole?
- He is.
Sorry, what do you want, babes?
- Slushi please.
- Red, blue or mixed?
- Blue.
[dramatic music]
[gentle music]
- I thought you were
going to help me.
- What?
- I'm being kept somewhere.
- How do I find you?
- I don't know, but I'm close.
I can feel you.
You must come looking.
- Just go around
yelling your name.
It's Esther, right?
How can I reward you if
you don't set me free?
- Okay, am I dreaming again?
- Does it matter?
I'm here, you're here.
If you can find me,
you can have me.
You can have all of me.
The things I would do for
my hero are boundless.
Wake up.
- What?
- Wake up.
Wake up.
[Kas breathing]
[upbeat music]
- Dude, I'm telling you,
there's something really weird
going on with this
girl in the news.
And the dream was
just way too real.
Even the.
- Yeah, that's all
terrible, seriously man.
Okay, check this out.
So I replaced the bong
water with poppers.
Dude, this shit
will blow your mind.
- Dude, put that thing down.
You'll melt your fucking brain.
- That's the point.
[door banging]
- Who is it?
- Jesus, Lina, that's
not funny, fuck.
- What's wrong with her?
- Anyway, dude, I don't even
know how to explain this dream.
This is the worst
dream I've ever had.
It was so real.
You don't even dream anymore.
- The fuck are you?
- I'm Ju, I'm John,
I live down the road.
I'm new to your
neighborhood, you know?
- Well, it's nice of
you to pop in John.
- Yeah.
I've seen you around.
You know, on the estate.
- Okay.
- Yeah see, man, I was
wondering if maybe you could,
help me out, you know?
- Dude.
Yeah, sorry.
Of course, what do you need?
You saw the sign down there.
It says you never have to
leave, we got everything.
Pool, restaurant,
ice cream shack.
Fuck there's a graveyard
if everything goes to shit.
- I need ketamine.
- I don't know what you're
talking about, officer.
- Okay dude, go try the
parking lot by the mall.
I'm sure you'll find some
teenagers to arrest there.
- Nah, I'm not a cop.
Look, sorry for the
misunderstanding.
- Okay, is he the worst cop
or the worst junkie
in the world?
- How much do you need?
- As much as you have.
- Okay, look, I could help
you out, but to be honest,
it doesn't look
like you can afford.
Holy shit dog.
Of course, man.
Like, I didn't realize you
was a fellow space cadet.
K will cost you
but hang on a sec.
- Get some needles as well.
- I usually charge extra for
that, but I think you sorted.
Hang one sec.
Okay, so how many
needles you need?
I got one, I'll just
give you them all.
This is my whole stash.
What happened to your ear?
- I got bitten by a dog, man.
[Lloyd laughing]
- No worry dude, it
happens to the worst of us.
All right, do me a favor.
Don't take it all in one please,
I can't have that
shit on my conscience.
- No, it's not for me.
Anyways, thank you.
God bless.
- Yeah, no problem.
- God bless you too, man.
- Ah, dude, man.
You take one look
at that freaky fuck
and tell me he's
not a lizard person.
- Since when are you
dealing heavy gauge?
- I follow the market.
- The fucking Ketamine markets?
- Dude, if I didn't do this,
I'd have to charge you
full price on your weed.
Besides, now I don't have
to work Lina's party.
In fact, I might even whip
up my batch of Shroom punch.
By the way, what
are you going as?
I was thinking of
going as Jacob Zoomer,
that dude scares
the shit outta me.
Or is black face still a thing?
- Among racists, yeah.
- Whatever, man.
I'm rich as fuck now
let's get high as fuck.
- God, man, get a grip.
- What the fuck is
wrong with you, man?
God.
[gentle music]
- I got it Reverend.
- Good, that's good,
Julian, that's good.
She's still out.
- Well, let me take this.
[dog barking]
Are you okay reverend?
- Secular Media is on
another witch hunt.
- [Announcer] The search
for 18 year old Esther
and the lay preacher
Randall Day presumed
to have taken the girl
is still ongoing.
An official search
warrant has been issued,
and a formal
investigation is underway.
- I had to show you this first
because they're
after both of us.
- Do they know about this house?
- I hope not.
But you never know, today
with hacking and drones.
And what not.
- I cannot go to jail.
I won't be able to
see my daughter again.
- Don't worry about it.
We've just gotta keep
one step ahead of them
until we can free the
girl from the demon.
- We need to get
her out of here.
- We can't free the girl.
The demon will deceive the world
about what we've done here.
God's truth will not be known.
- And if they find
her in this condition?
- They can't find her.
They can't.
Either we cure her or..
[upbeat music]
- Now what?
- I need to go pray, Julian.
I need to square a few
things with the big man.
[upbeat music]
- You came.
- The fur ball and the slime.
And you guys dressed,
what sort of, what are you
you supposed to be, Loyd?
- One of them.
You look nice, Lina.
- Bullshit, I look
like a God damn
future space pirate Princess.
Everything cool
with you and Didi?
- Yes, yes, yes.
Let's not speak about it.
Things are still a bit tense,
so I'm just gonna
keep my mask on.
- No nonsense eh?
- Aye aye future captain
Pirate space princess.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Don't be mad, but
I bought some punch.
- Yeah, why would I be mad?
- What?
- Thank you, just put
it in the kitchen.
I'll check you guys later.
[Lloyd laughing]
[people howling]
- Dude I can't believe she's
so fucking cool with it.
- Dude, you just said punch,
not psychedelic power soup.
- Whatever, it was implied, man.
[person laughing]
[door slamming]
[door banging]
- Okay, demon.
- Esther, if you're in there.
- This is it, the
end of the line.
- I can't allow them to
find you here with me.
- If you won't let the girl go.
- I can't allow you to wake up.
- I'll send you
both to the creator.
Let him decide who goes where.
- I'm sorry.
[gentle music]
[dramatic music]
- What have you done?
- I'm sorry.
- What have you done?
[Esther breathing]
- Lina has other friends?
- Dude, what the fuck
is up with a dead baby?
- No idea, but this
is some weird shit.
- Damn dude.
- Optimism, Loyd.
- Dude, I think you've
got a chance, man.
- Think so?
- Just go and introduce yourself
and tell her about
the Lizard people.
Chicks love conspiracy theories.
- You serious?
- Yeah, go.
[upbeat music]
- Man, fuck that chick,
I was watching this documentary
about lizard people
and they were saying
how they don't know
how to use human hands.
What you need to do is you
need to watch the hands.
Damn, she's got
some human hands.
[Esther breathing]
- What the fuck did you
guys put in the punch?
- I told Loyd to
speak to you first.
He put some shrooms
or something in there.
Did you drink it?
- Do I look like someone who
drinks from a cooler box?
Everybody's fucking wasted man.
Where is that lizard
brain imbecile?
- I swear, I've
studied them for years.
If they attack, I
can defend myself.
- Can somebody please get
this guy away from me?
He keeps talking about lizards
and I can't take it anymore.
- What?
There are lizard
people at this party?
- Dude, just chill out.
- Great fucking party, right.
- Man, everybody's wasted.
- Great fucking party.
- No you stupid motherfucker,
why didn't you tell me
you spiked the punch?
[upbeat music]
- Kas.
Okay, this is freaky
everybody, not cool.
- I thought I was.
- Is this like some
weird flash mob thing
or do you think everybody
has mushroom poisoning?
Oh fuck do you
think Loyd's right
about the lizard people?
Loyd?
- I don't know, I don't know.
[dramatic music]
- Kas, I'm not cool
with any part of this.
[doors banging]
- What's going on?
Who are these people?
- [Voice] I found them
here, they're lost.
Confused, dreaming,
but still useful.
- For what?
- [Voice] To find us.
- Kas, I don't think we're
dreaming, this shit is real.
- How, we don't even
know where we are.
- [Voice] We're
weak but I can bite,
you have to give me
everything you got.
- What the fuck
is going on here?
- I told you, I've been
dreaming like crazy.
I think this is one of them.
- Look, you keep saying that.
But how the fuck
am I in your dream?
- This looks like the time
when Dream Girl came for me.
[dramatic music]
[Esther whispering]
- No.
- [Voice whispering]
Clear your mind and focus.
- What do you want
to know friend?
This is me, Lina, the real me.
- I'm pretty sure I'd know
if I'm fucking dreaming.
And this is one of them, okay?
Put up with enough of your
shit in my waking life.
- What the fuck, ow.
- Did that wake you
'cause I can keep going.
[people clapping]
- Closer or Further?
- Further
[upbeat music]
- [Voice] They're close
now, can you hear?
- Yes.
Yes, I can hear them.
[dog barking]
[upbeat music]
[Esther breathing]
[insects chirping]
- I need more power, give
me everything you have.
[Esther screaming]
[upbeat music]
[people thudding]
- What the hell's going on?
- What the fuck are they doing?
- I think Ester's in there.
I'm going to the front.
- They're going to kill someone,
some weird zombie
apocalypse shit going on.
Loyd, Loyd, get the
fuck out of here.
[Esther shouting]
What the fuck are
you doing, boy?
What are you all doing, huh?
Are you on fucking drugs.
All of you go home right now.
I'm not afraid of
murdering kids hey?
- Just pull your shit together.
- That's it girly.
[speaking in foreign language]
[person thudding]
[people shouting]
- Kas, will you come on!
- Yeah boy.
Get up man.
Get up I said man,
get over here.
Sir, open the door.
Open the door.
[Esther breathing]
- Are they coming for us?
- No, but we are
coming for them.
[stones whirring]
- Guys, this cannot be
a coincidence, okay?
Esther disappears from
this weird Jesus camp.
And then this preacher
man appears in our complex
with a mob of shroom
zombies at his door.
- You say that as
if that's some sort
of rational explanation
for what just happened.
- Maybe she's like
one of those people
who can do shit with
their minds, telepathy.
- Maybe she's not a people.
Maybe she's.
- Say one more fucking word.
This shit is serious, man.
These monsters, they
torture queer kids
and they make them believe
there's something
wrong with them.
- I know how this sounds,
but she came to me
in my dreams and
asked for my help.
And now I know where she is.
This is my chance.
- Your chance.
To what, be a man.
Fuck that, call the police.
- Fuck the police.
- And what if I'm wrong?
Don't they arrest people
for lying to the cops?
- So what do you wanna
rescue the damsel in distress
all by yourself Kas?
- Okay, fine.
Let's go check it out
first, see what's going on.
See if he's there.
I mean, after what
just happened,
there has to be
something fucking weird
going on there, right?
Are you telling me you're
not the least but curious?
- Curious.
No, creeped out very much yes.
That's some weird juju voodoo
bullshit going on there, man.
- Lina, if you were
locked up in there,
you would wish for
someone like you
to listen to someone
like me right about now.
- Okay, but here are the rules.
We only go to look,
if we see the cowboy,
we call the police, okay?
If we see anything weird,
we call the police.
- The police are fucking
controlled by the lizard people.
- And this fucking
space cadet stays.
[insects chirping]
[stones whirring]
- Oh, I don't know, sir.
Kids these days have no bloody
in respect if you ask me.
If it's not drinking and drugs,
it's planking and Pokemon.
- Well as long as
no one got hurt,
I don't think it's necessary
for us to call the police.
- Well, that's fine by me.
If the police knew what they
were doing, I wouldn't be here.
- Right, right.
Well, thank you
again for your help.
You are the hero
of the hour, sir.
- All in a day's work.
Good night, Laurence.
I hope everything simmers down.
[footsteps walking]
[door whirring]
- Going somewhere, Julian,
or should I call you
Judas from now on?
- Reverend it's not what--
- So she's turned
you against me.
- Reverend, I'm not against you.
Reverend, please.
We cannot go on like this,
I cannot go on like this.
We're gonna end up killing
her or she's gonna kill us,
or the police are gonna find us.
We have to let her
go, make this right.
- That's exactly what
we're doing, Julian.
We are making things right.
But I admit this one
is going down the line.
I don't know if the girl
will outlast the demon,
but we can't run away
from our divine duty.
We've gotta keep the cause.
- Reverend, I'm not sure
that we're still
doing the Lord's work.
He wouldn't want this.
Tonight was a sign.
- Tonight was a test.
And your faith is
lukewarm Julian,
you will be spat out for it.
- It's not like that, I
just don't see how we.
- We?
There is no we, if
you renounce me.
- Well then, this is where
we part ways Mr. Day.
- Ah, I believe we
have a small problem.
You see,
I am Reverend Randall Day,
beloved among God's flock.
Even more beloved among the
God-fearing congregations.
And you, Julian, are
not beloved by anybody.
You are a friendless,
jobless junkie
whose family don't
even wish to know him.
- Don't talk to me like that.
- You're staying here.
You will keep Esther sedated.
When I come back we are
moving her somewhere safe,
somewhere where I
can work in peace.
- Please, you can't
leave me here with her.
- I can, and I will.
Arrangements have to be
made but I will be back.
If you can hold your
faith until then,
I will release you
from my service.
- Reverend please,
she's going to wake up.
- If you run, I
will come after you
with the full
force of God's law.
My law.
Christ may be merciful,
but I'm an Old
Testament kind of man.
[upbeat music]
- Okay, cool, we
came, we watched it.
No cowboy, no abducted girl.
Let's just go.
- Just hang on.
- Reverend, just give
me a moment there.
We need to talk about this.
Come on, man, listen.
Listen, you can't leave
me here with her alone.
- The darkest hour is just
before dawn, brother Julian,
stand firm.
I will be back and I will
release you from your burden.
- Reverend, please,
please, please, please.
She wants to kill me.
Just go there and just sedate
her before you go, please.
- I don't have time
for this Julian.
- Do what you must.
- Reverend, Reverend.
- Going in for a closer look.
- Is that him?
- It's him.
Where's the cowboy hat?
- I don't know, but it's him.
- Kas, I don't think
that's him then.
- It's him.
- Yeah, listen, I've got some
information about that girl.
I think I saw her.
[upbeat music]
Yeah, that's the one.
Listen, I think I
know where she is.
[vehicle whirring]
- Okay.
- For real this
time, I'm going in.
- There's no way it's open.
[door whirring]
- No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
No way, you said
we're just looking
and I didn't see anything.
So we're not breaking in.
- Guys, we've come this far.
Let's go.
[gentle music]
- That's fucking--
- Sssh!
- That's John from
the other day.
- Is the reverend running
a crack house or something?
- Maybe it's just like a church
halfway house or something.
- Fucking go back to
step one of the program.
- Let's check the back.
[Esther shouting]
Shit.
- What?
- It's locked.
I'm gonna go and try
and find the key.
Just wait here.
- It's okay, just
fucking breathe.
[gentle music]
[Kas sighs]
[object banging]
- Shit.
[dramatic music]
[Esther Shouting]
- Oh my God, look.
[dramatic music]
[person breathing]
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
- Dude, what the fuck
is wrong with her?
- She's been
kidnapped and drugged.
- It's okay now Ester,
I've got you, I've got you.
Fuck.
[stabbing sounds]
- Julian, I left my hat.
- Esther, damn it.
Damn it!
[dramatic music]
Shit.
- What the fuck?
What the fuck just happened?
- What have you done?
- What we've done,
what do you mean?
- You are the maniac
who kidnapped her.
- Yeah, fuck you, man.
- Get back.
- Dude, just calm down.
We're not looking for trouble.
- Who are you?
- Please, please sir
just put down the weapon.
- You have no idea what
you've just unleashed.
- Fucking Kasper's dream girl?
- What do you mean?
- Esther, yes, she came
to me in my dreams.
- Your dreams, so
she got to you too.
- She just asked
for my help man.
- Here we are fucking helping.
- Helping?
You've just condemned us all.
That was no girl,
that was a demon.
- What, dude,
demons don't exist.
[Reverend laughing]
One of the greatest tools
in the devil's infernal
arsenal is gullibility.
What are you doing?
Don't you touch that phone?
Get it out now,
outta your pocket.
All of you, cell
phones, on the table,
you too and you.
- Demon or not, that guy
just got his shit wrecked.
We need to call the cops.
- Tell them what?
That guy's blood is
on all your hands.
What do you think the
cops are gonna say
when they walk in here?
They find three teenagers
who've just broken into a house
and a dead guy
lying on the couch.
- That's not fair.
We have nothing to do with this.
- You set her free.
And now my trusted
disciple is dead.
I think it's time that you
three joined God's flock.
[grass whirring]
[birds chirping]
[children screaming]
[person humming]
[dramatic music]
[water splashing]
[brush whirring]
[dramatic music]
[water splashing]
- What's happening,
what are you doing?
No, no, no, no.
[boy screaming]
Oh my God.
Anybody, help, help
us, help me, anybody.
Help! Help!
Anybody!
Help us!
Help us!
Please!
- The only way to stop her
is to drive that demonic spirit
back to the lake of fire.
- Sir, Mr. Priest, no offense,
but I don't believe in...
- Reverend Day, are you
serious about all of this?
- Serious as sin girl.
- Then I wanna help you.
But I don't know how
any of this works.
- That's the spirit girl.
I pray to God for aid
and he sent me you three.
It must be Providence.
- I don't know if
this means anything,
but Kasper has a
connection with her.
- Really, how?
- I don't know, she
came to me in dreams.
Vile and obscene, right?
- Yes, full of temptations.
Just sinning everywhere.
- That's how they work,
they tempt the weak willed.
- Hey.
- You're right.
We let her go and we
have an obligation.
So how can we help you?
- Well, first we
have to find her.
That's if you're
willing to help me.
- Yes.
- Are you with me?
- Yes.
- Are you with me?
- Amen Reverend.
- My knuckle.
[grass whirring]
- Okay, now listen up.
She can't have left the estate,
so we're gonna split up.
Big guy, you with me, you two.
- Go, go, go.
- No, come back.
- You cowards, you
snakes of Satan.
[dramatic music]
- Fuck.
[Didi screaming]
- I need power, be quiet.
[dramatic music]
[Didi screaming]
[Didi crying]
[gentle music]
- Sir, stop, please.
Stop, stop.
I need your help, something
terrible has happened.
- Show me.
- This way.
[all panting]
- Come on, come on.
- Fuck Loyd are you serious?
- Fuck, I don't know.
- Loyd, where are your parents?
I don't know, man, you're
fucking buying cigarettes.
- Open the fucking door.
- Guys, my house is the closest.
Let's go, let's go,
let's go, come on.
[dramatic music]
- We finally settled in.
Like everything's beautiful.
The neighbors came and
visit, yeah, they did.
It's the best place.
I'm so glad.
- No.
- [woman on phone It's
like the safest place.
- Who invited you?
- She'll say, okay,
whoever came to the house,
you will love it.
People are so friendly.
[woman screaming]
- It's the drugs reverend.
The kids these
days are monsters.
- Yeah.
You know, I'm just terrified
they're gonna do it again.
And you say they're on.
Yeah, afraid so,
I've called the cops,
they're on their way.
But until they get here,
you're the only help we have.
- Wait here, I have my
own gun at the gate.
[dramatic music]
[Kas screaming]
- Your Mom's a
fucking lizard person.
- It's spreading,
we have to stop it.
- Let's get outta here.
- What about your mother
and Didi and everybody else?
- What am I supposed to do?
I don't know how to
kill a fucking demon.
- Not gonna destroy my mom.
Let's go, let's go,
come on, let's go.
[Mom screaming]
- It's me listen,
whatever you hear or see on
the television and radio,
don't believe it, all right.
The girl is possessed,
she's done some terrible,
terrible things, I'll
explain when I get there.
I'm on my way.
[car whirring]
[dramatic music]
[Reverend grunting]
[grass whirring]
[gentle music]
[sticks whirring]
- Shit, that's the rev's car.
We need to open the gate.
Loyd, go check if you can
find the button inside.
It has to be somewhere.
- Let's just think about this,
are we really fucking bailing?
- Yes.
- Okay, but what about your mama
and Didi and everybody else?
- What do you want
me to do, Lina?
- The right thing Kas.
- I'm fucking stressed okay.
- Stop fucking around.
Okay, go see if we can
open the gates, I'll drive.
Come on.
[upbeat music]
- Kas, just wait, just
to stop a minute, okay?
I know everything's really
fucked up right now,
but we have to do
something, okay?
We let her out and
we can't just leave.
- I don't give a
about everyone, okay?
I don't want to die.
- You're being a
fucking asshole.
- If being an asshole's
what keeps me alive
then that's fine by me.
- Fuck, sir, there's
an huge fuck up,
people are dead, I don't know
if they're on
drugs or something,
but they're killing
people everywhere's.
- He left his keys in here.
- Yes sir, no, everything
is on lockdown.
Nobody's getting out.
- I thought the lizard
people would get me.
Well, I guess there's a demon.
- Fuck.
[gun banging]
[gentle music]
Stand back.
Come back!
- Kas.
- Stop!
[gun banging]
- Kas!
- Lina.
[gun banging]
[insects chirping]
[dog barking]
[Kas breathing]
- Fuck.
[suspenseful music]
[dramatic music]
- No.
Don't fight me child,
I will have my due.
We're so close, with
these sacrifices,
I will have more power than
you can possibly imagine,
I will make you a goddess.
[Esther breathing]
- Kas, you fuck, I
thought you left me.
- We need to get out of here.
- God Kas, you need to hurry up.
- You!
- Get me the fuck
out of here, Kas.
[Lina breathing]
[insects chirping]
- Lina.
Fuck Loyd.
- My hero.
- Ester, Esther,
please don't do this.
- What's a sacrifice
without a virgin?
- Don't do this to me
Ester please, I saved you.
- You did get me
out of that hole.
So I will spare you.
Whether she will
is another matter.
- Didi, please don't do this.
- Kas, I promise you,
- This is not you, Didi.
Don't listen to her,
you're a good person.
[stabbing noise]
- Kas! Didi, please Didi.
[Kas breathing heavily]
- Now I walk the shadow
of the valley of death,
I shall fear no evil.
- Reverend, you're awake.
- Oh God, oh Jesus.
- Where was your god when
this girl needed saving?
- Oh Lord, protect my flock.
Let this cup pass Lord.
Lord, let it pass.
- You invited me, Reverend,
come share this cup with me.
- Be damned devil woman,
back to hell with you.
- You created hell on earth
and condemned people to it.
- Condemned, I'm a shepherd
and my flock is an army
that marches against the devil.
- You should know
by now, Reverend,
when you go looking for
the devil in everything,
you're bound to
find her eventually.
- Esther please,
please, if you can hear me,
please just listen to me.
- Be quiet.
- Don't let her do this to you,
remember your name's Esther.
- Abomination.
[dramatic music]
- Relax reverend.
We have a flock
that needs tending.
