Sator (2019) - full transcript

Well, let's see, he was in

charge of me,

my life, me.

But he comes up every once in a

while

just in my mind.

The name is very clear.

Sator, it was Sator, who

was in charge of everything.

All upon

the face of the forest,

shall tremble at his presence.

And the mountains shall be

thrown down.

For Sator's eyes are in every

place

on those who fear him,

On those who hope for his

kindness.

his acceptance.

Every beast of the forest,

everything that moves is his.

Sator has made a covenant of

peace,

illuminating all harmful

beasts from this land.

And uses their flesh

to cloak his disciples,

so that we may all live

securely in the wilderness

and sleep soundly in the woods.

We find you stranded

in a howling waste of a

wilderness.

We observe you.

We learn all about your ways.

And when the sun rises,

we withdraw and lie down in our

dens.

Hmm.

Hmm.

What?

Hmm.

Get out of my head.

I bet the card's messed up.

Who's cam is this?

Grandpa Jim's?

Yeah.

Hmm.

You hunting deer?

Mm.

You know grandpa kept a lot of

gear

at the main house, right?

Probably had another one of

these.

Some beer too.

Wanna stop by?

I would have put a shotgun

in my mouth by now,

if this is where I thought I'd

end up.

Fuckin' Deborah.

She could have fought a little

harder

for you to be where I'm at.

I'm telling ya, man,

if you would have just talked

about Sator,

I guarantee the home

would have accepted your ass.

all kind of places.

Well I'm not anyone who

gets up to anything anymore.

Not up to anything?

No, I sit in this spot here.

But my brain's dead.

- Mine too.

- Oh.

Welcome to the crowd.

- Yeah.

- No, I don't know, I,

memory is something I lose.

I pick up something in the

house,

take it around and put it down,

and then I can't find it again.

- I forgot where I put it.

- Yeah.

Ha, I wasn't lucky when Jim

died,

but when he did,

they still let me stay on here.

I've just been here ever since

then.

I don't know how many

years since Jim died.

I miss him every day.

So distracted down here.

Forget to look up sometimes.

I'm Evie.

Can I help you look for

anything?

Don't drink all of

these.

When you

summon Sator,

he will turn his attention to

you.

Submit yourself

to him, trust in him completely.

And do not lean on your own

understanding.

You will be tested by affliction

for he is

a consuming fire.

And after you have

suffered a little while,

he will refine you.

He will

make you pure.

- Hi, Nani.

- Oh,

hi there.

How are you?

How come you my name and

I don't know who you are?

Oh, hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Good to see you.

Fred, Jack, Joe?

You know, you know me.

- No, I don't.

- You know.

I don't recognize you. Why is

that?

I don't know.

- It'll come to you.

- Oh, I don't know why.

I just don't recognize

you for some reason.

I'm your grandson.

Well I thought so, but

you got a beard, you've grown

considerably since I last saw

you.

I was just here yesterday.

- Yesterday?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

We had a good talk yesterday.

- Who did?

- Me and you.

How you've been sensing spirits.

I don't remember

yesterday.

Oh, that's okay.

What kind of things did...

What kind of things happen

around here

that are peculiar?

You sure that was yesterday?

I'm pretty

sure that was yesterday.

Well occasionally,

something happens.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Things are,

they'll be moved somewhere

- from one place to another.

- Yeah.

You put something somewhere-

Yeah, and you know darn

well

- you didn't do it yourself.

- Mm-hmm.

Hey, where are you?

Are you in here?

Come on, where are you?

Oh, there you are.

What are you doing?

What's going on with you?

You playing hide and go seek?

- Who are you?

- Okay.

Oh, my God.

I used to do automatic writing,

and I was told what to write by

spirit.

It's implanted in your

brain?

- Yeah.

- And you just transfer it

from some other entity

that's telling you what

to write down

Yeah, it's that sort of thing.

Like my guardian

I have a guardian

that I, he, he's always there.

I always, he's gonna

just let me know something is

not right.

- Mm-hmm.

- If it's going to

be a good thing or something

I...

Sator is like a human being

that lives around here

somewhere.

Somebody who manages to get into

my brain

and talk to me. Knew everybody,

what they were saying and doing.

And he was aware of

everything that was done

and what should be done

and what has to be done,

what wasn't done.

How you people are this and

that.

Sator would help me, was

teaching me,

training me to be a person.

Every once in a while,

I just wake up in bed

and he's there.

He talks to me.

It's interesting to have that

kind

of care. The talking in my head.

I have nothing to do with it.

It just starts, and I listen,

and if I'm supposed

to write it down.

I write it down or whatever.

I don't know.

People think you're nuts

if you tell them that.

Well I don't think

you're nuts.

Oh good, I hope not.

Although, when I feel

like wanting something

that I want to know about

or think about

or something, I just think about

it

and he comes in my brain,

or he manages to

make me aware of him,

talks to me and do, you know,

make me do some things and

stuff.

That was just a period of time.

- Mm-hmm.

- Then I went off

on my own way, I'd guess you'd

say.

I still wrote stuff.

What's that for?

I would hear

from him occasionally,

have something written to me.

When I've taken something

- and tried to write on it,

- Come on.

He gets in there

and telling me I should not be

saying

and doing what I was doing and

saying.

My dog ran off.

I'm sorry.

Things got so

complicated

and too many people involved.

- Think something hurt him?

- He still gets

a word in every once in a while

that I'm aware of.

Although he did, he talked to

James. Jimmy.

I'll keep an eye out.

I don't know any more.

Time has swallowed it all up.

Well that's

very interesting, Nani.

I had voices.

I get messages,

and I still do in a sense.

And he comes to the house.

He comes here,

Sator does, often.

And just not in this particular

area

but out there where he

comes and stands around

and and just

watches what I'm doing

or whoever else is there, you

know,

he watches them.

And it still happens.

I still get messages from Sator.

Ugh, Sator can fuck

off, dude!

I don't know

what else to do, dude,

and like, he's holding

Ma hostage somewhere

and doesn't want her to fucking

remember.

Goddammit.

I don't know, maybe, I think

I need a cigarette right now.

Seriously though, Brother.

trips me the fuck out what the

brain chooses

to hold on to.

Like helping

Grandpa Jim build his cabin.

I have this image really

fucking clear in my mind.

But then I found a photograph of

this,

and that's what I'm actually

seeing

is a damn photograph.

I don't remember that day at

all.

It's the same shit with Evie.

I have all these photographs,

but I can't remember her or the

accident.

And that shit was recent.

But we were fucked up

most of the time together.

So I guess that's different.

This is

Sator.

Your path to purification

will be tried with fire,

only then will I make you in my

image.

But first, I will send a

messenger to your temple.

One who shall prepare the way

before you.

Are you fucking

kidding?

What the fuck?

For this messenger will

be like a refiner's fire,

and will sit as a refiner.

Are you ready

to have dominion

over every creeping thing that

creeps?

Ready to cleansed

and purified.

To join Sator as one of his

disciples.

I am now waiting

for your burnt offering.

I delight in burnt

offerings and sacrifices

just as much as you,

obeying my voice.

Hi, Adam.

Your dog ever come back?

I brought you something.

It was hidden at your

grandmother's.

I didn't know when you would be

back,

so I thought you might wanna

have it.

It was with Pete in that

accident.

Glad he made it out okay.

Thought that'd be a nice memory

to have.

Sorry about your mom.

Was anybody able to find her?

I was in a similar situation,

and Pete was the only

person I had to go to.

I think you're lucky to

have someone like Deborah.

She really kept it together

for the both of you.

I hope one day the three

of you can come together.

Sator has

searched you and he knows you.

He knows when you rest and when

you rise.

He perceives your thoughts from

afar.

He observes you're going out

and is familiar with all your

ways.

When you lay your hand upon

Sator,

such knowledge will be too

wonderful,

too high for you to attain.

There is nothing covered up

that will not be revealed,

and secrets that will not be

known.

He who reveals the

profound and the hidden,

will know what is in the

darkness.

What can't be seen in the dark,

can be shown in the light.

Well, I don't know what

to fucking tell you, Brother.

Your dog's gone.

Should have held it

together for Deborah.

So fucked, this was all put on

her.

Shouldn't have to put

up with all our bullshit.

I still think grandpa

Jim sacrificed himself.

So Ma could be with Sator.

You know there was a lot of

weird shit going on there.

I don't think Mom could have

fucking done that herself.

Bet Nani was in on it too.

Sorry we couldn't find your dog,

dude

What's going on with you,

Brother?

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

We want cake!

We want cake!

We want cake!

We want cake!

We want cake!

- What is this thing?

- Ooh!

Got in there, an atomic

bomb?

What?

Shouldn't Ma be here for this?

You really

think you're gonna get her

- to come out here?

- I'm not going

back there, Deborah.

First I will send a

messenger

to your temple.

One who shall prepare the way

before you.

Are you fucking

kidding me?

What the fuck?

Go back there.

We need to burn those fucking

writings.

I wanna get

Adam out of this place.

You wanna take him to

Midground and go see Evie?

Or not.

Do you think that's

smart?

Hmm?

Having him around that many

people?

Adam?

Adam?

Hey?

Did I hurt you?

Where do

you go when you do that?

Anyone talking to you?

Like with Nani and Mom?

Is it Sator?

Uhhhahh!!

Do you know what

these are?

It's my handwriting,

but I, it,

I can't read it anymore here.

They're

your automatic writings.

Yeah. Oh.

- You'd get in trances and

- Yeah.

- spirits would write for you.

- Yeah, well somewhere

along the lines there,

I wanted to have something

going on in my life.

The next thing I found

out was that in my head,

I was being told about things.

For a long time there,

I was writing down stuff

that was given to me,

like people talking to me.

So I would listen, just listen,

and write down what was

being said in my head.

You know, I had access to them.

Even now I can see them.

The people hopping around

in my head.

Did you know mom

was also able to hear them?

Your mother you're

talking about?

- Mm-hmm.

- No.

I think she

was trying to join them.

- Well, it's a good possibility.

- Yeah.

Look at this one.

"They've chosen you from

the furnace of affliction.

You may now present an offering

by fire before purification

as a soothing aroma to Sator."

Hmm.

Do you remember the day

that Grandpa Jim died?

Yes. That was sad.

He seemed to be involved

in it quite a lot,

and we had discussed his

dying somewhere before,

that this is what he is

intending to do.

And he walked out of the house

and went out laid down in the

grass and

and we found him, and he died

there.

That's all I remember at this

time.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause he died.

Mm-hmm.

Um...

His death

caused Pete to get into

- a lot of trouble with Evie.

- Oh my, yeah.

He's been in a home now for a

while.

He gets out today.

- Oh.

- I get to pick him up.

Oh.

We have to show him how proud

we are of him.

For all the progress he's

been making to get better.

Yes, yes,

that's important to him.

Do you think

that you can help me

- with that, Nani?

- Sure, yeah.

I can try.

Thanks.

Think it's genetic?

What, dementia?

The voices.

Well if it is, I'm glad

Nani never hurt anybody.

Ma didn't either.

If you still think

Sator killed Grandpa Jim,

we can send you back there right

now.

I have no problem with that.

What about Adam?

- What about him?

- Can we visit him?

No.

I feel bad for just

leaving them up there.

Excuse me?

You feel bad because

you left him up there?

Did you even see how

it wasn't exactly safe

for him to be around us?

'Cause I don't remember

you making the decision

to isolate him from

everyone because you didn't.

I left him out there.

Give me a goddamn break, Pete.

Mm.

It's been nice talking

to a friendly face,

but I must find my brother and

get home.

I have a long road ahead of me,

and I can't waste any more time.

Mm.

Right at home

with the people, the

beaches, the cool waves.

Welcome to Midground.

A perfect family vacation.

Come stay in the Blaze Inn

Hotel,

with breathtaking views

of Younglove Island.

Take leisurely strolls...

Mm.

You want company?

I'm all right.

Mm.

Adam?

Hmm.

Ehh.

Ah.

You going to get ready for

bed, Nani?

Hey, Nani?

Nani?

Nani?

No!

Doesn't anyone talk

to you in your head.

I don't know how to explain it.

It's just, it's been given to

me.

Sator will send messages

that land in my head.

And so do the other

people who if they want to

will just talk to me.

Right here, talking to me.

Like you now...

What is it that you need?

What do you want to know for

sure?

That Sator loves you?

That he cares about you?

That you're being good?

That you're not being good

about some things,

a little antagonistic,

at times.

Well, I don't know where this

comes from.

I find you quite well organized,

and take good care of me and

what's here.

And I get this voice saying,

and does what we tell you to.

Okay, your turn.

Any messages coming?
