JOHN: Come on, guys. Just keep heading up.
MAN: Watch your step, John.
[JOHN GRUNTS] Shit.
These are slippery. Paul, be careful.
Shit. Fuck.
[GRUNTS]
Gets a little dicey up here, Paul.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
It's tight through here. Just watch where you're stepping.
Shit.
Another dead end.
[SIGHS]
How long are we gonna keep going, man?
It ain't here, John.
You're getting paid, aren't you?
You better hope this thing keeps going.
Yeah, but there's no overtime, you know?
We're going on eight hours now. So...
We good?
JOHN: Listen. What's that?
R.J.: What?
JOHN: You see that?
R.J.: John, that's mud. It looks like mud.
Look, let's go, all right? I'm hungry.
-JOHN: No, no. -R.J.: I'm starving.
We're almost out of water. Let's go.
JOHN: Come on, I'm telling you,
looks like an archway or something's been covered over.
-R.J.: I don't see it. -JOHN: Come on, let's go check it out.
-R.J.: John... -JOHN: Let's go.
Fucking bitch ass motherfucker.
R.J.: Hey, hey, hey, there's no need for name-calling, okay?
[JOHN GRUNTS]
It's good. This is it, boys.
But we gotta get down there.
PAUL: Oh. Fuck, that's steep as fuck.
[R.J. GRUNTS] Shit.
PAUL: Hey, what's that sound?
-What sound? You hear something? -Yeah.
[PAUL GRUNTING]
-R.J.: Get him. -JOHN: Paul!
-JOHN: Shit. Shit! -R.J.: Paul!
Damn it.
Paul! Say something!
Paul? Paul?
Paul, you okay?
Fuck. Oh, fuck, man.
I'm all fucked up.
Just take it easy. What hurts?
-Oh, fuck. I think my ankle's broken. -JOHN: Okay.
John, what's the status?
I have a broken fucking ankle!
Shit.
What...
[ROCKS CLATTERING]
What's that?
You guys see that?
No, I'm not seeing anything, man.
-[PAUL GRUNTS] -I saw something just now.
PAUL: Oh my God. Just help me up, man.
All right, just listen.
Stay put, I'm going to get you squared away, I swear it.
We're going to get you to a hospital and get you squared away.
I'm just going to check out what that was.
PAUL: What the fuck?
No. I'll be back in one minute.
-I'm gonna square you away. -Where the fuck are you going, man?
John. John!
Paul, where is he going?
Fuck if I know. Come down here and help me.
Damn. Okay, man. I'm coming.
[SIGHS] Fuck it.
[R.J. GRUNTING]
-PAUL: Oh, fuck, man. -That asshole.
Shit. He was right.
He was right.
John, what are you doing? Get back here.
One second.
John!
JOHN: Hang on, will you?
Oh, shit.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
Shit.
[COUGHING]
[CONTINUES COUGHING]
R.J.: Let's go, man. We got to get out of here.
Just hang on. I saw the relic.
I saw it!
[GROANS]
Look, I'm coming back for you, all right? I'm gonna find John.
We're gonna get you out of here. Just hold tight.
[SIGHS]
-PAUL: Where the fuck are you guys going? -Just hold tight.
JOHN: Where is it?
PAUL: Help me!
Fuck.
[GRUMBLES]

[JOHN COUGHING]
[CONTINUES COUGHING]
Paul?
-Paul? -We never should have come.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I have to... [STUTTERING]
I'm sorry.
[R.J. PANTING]
John? John, we got to get...
-He's dead. -No, no, no.
What the fuck? What happened?
He's dead. I don't know.
R.J.: What do you mean you don't know what happened?
I mean, I don't know what happened.
I came here and I found him like this.
-[JOHN SIGHS] -Goddammit.
This is your fault.
No, John, this is your fault.
Don't start with me.
You did this, John.
You couldn't let it go, huh? You couldn't let it go.
I told you, John. You couldn't let it go. You couldn't let it fucking go.
-You couldn't let it fucking... -Take it easy.
-[GRUNTING] -Listen to me.
Whatever got him is coming for us.
Now we need to get the fuck out of here. You got me?
Let's go. Now!

-Hey. -SUSAN: John?
I've been worried to death. Are you all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. We...
We ran into some trouble
and I didn't have signal.
John, this has got to stop.
I know, I know.
Suz, I can't get into this with you right now.
I don't want you spending the rest of your life
searching for something that isn't even there. Okay?
It's become an obsession.
I don't like seeing you like this.
The stress and the sleeping pills...
I saw it. I saw the relic.
Wait. You have it?
No.
No, it disappeared.
[SCOFFS] What do you mean it disappeared?
It was there one second and then it wasn't.
It was bizarre, and then I had this...
this strange coughing fit and these weird flashes
-of this creature, it was... -I don't even know what to say.
[CHUCKLES]
What happened?
Paul died.
SUSAN: Are you serious?
Yeah.
John, this is insane. You've got to stop this.
I know. But...
No. Just promise me that you're...
[DISTORTED]
-What? -What?
[DISTORTED]
Did you say something?
It's me. Did you...
-[DISTORTED] -What?
No. [STUTTERING] I thought I heard something.
It must have been interference.
Are you okay?
[SIGHS] Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Look...
I got to go back.
John.
Last time, I swear.
Just to need to get some gas,
resupply, recharge, hug the kids,
but I got to go back.
Really?
Yes.
Susan, my father...
Your father is out of his mind. Okay?
He is using you to find something that's a figment of his imagination.
And a good man died.
He had a family. Kids.
But what if... What if he's right?
I keep seeing Paul.
I feel terrible about it.
I just... I don't know what else I could've done.
I got to get rid of this curse against our family.
Otherwise we're never going to be out of danger.
We're not in danger. There is no curse, John.
Come on, he's brainwashing you.
My God, who cares what he... [DISTORTED]
John?
Susan?
John?

Hello?

DOCTOR: What you got?
NURSE: So we have a 40-something-year-old Caucasian male.
His status, post a motor vehicle accident.
He was suffering from some chest pain before he swerved off the road.
DOCTOR: How about his vitals?
NURSE: Vitals are unstable. He's tachycardia down to the 140s.
His blood pressure is hovering over 80s over 40s.
DOCTOR: We got an airway. Two liter.
Anybody get vitals?
He's 70 over 30. He's taching away at 140s.
DOCTOR: Chest compressions.
LeeAnn. Anybody done vitals?
NURSE: Still nothing. No.
He's in v-fib. We're losing him.

SUSAN: It's all right. It's all right, John.
John.
His vital signs are good.
-You okay? -[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I got to go back.
Easy. Give us a minute to check you over.
-No, I'm fine, Doc. -DOCTOR: Relax.
Get me the hell out of here now.
What?
Where are the kids?
They're at school. I didn't tell them anything.
Please, just give me a minute to run some tests.
-No, it's not necessary. -Let him.
-Shit. -Let him.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
-Come on. -DOCTOR: Okay.
Remarkable.
All of the readings are absolutely normal.
How do you feel?
I feel fine.
Lightheaded?
I'm telling you, I'm fine.
Tired?
Actually, I feel better than I have in a long time.
I busted my hand up a while back ago,
and there's no pain there. My knee, which is usually stiff feels great.
That's remarkable.
Well, even though everything's normal,
I'd like to have you stay overnight.
No, no, no, no. That's not happening, Doc.
Well, perhaps we can determine the cause of your heart attack
and then we can prescribe a treatment.
-No thanks, Doc. -John.
You have my number. Call if he shows any symptoms.
Absolutely. Thank you.
It was just like my dad said.
Everything felt so real.
Why on Earth do you want to go back there then?
For you and the kids. To stop this.
What?
You've awakened it.
What'd you say?
The Devil takes many forms.
[GROWLS]
SUSAN: Your Devil is not mine but they are the same.
The Inan are the Gods of Evil.
Suz?
[DISTORTED] Your devil, your family's devil, he waits for you.
That was the one.
How their worlds died.
All the people eviscerated.
They must confront the evil to stop it.
What evil are you talking about?
The evil you have done.
What have I done?
[GROWLS]
You've disturbed it.
[HORN HONKING]
Who are you?
-[HONKING] -What the hell's your problem?
What's happening?
Honking at me for no reason. Jerk.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
Babe, what's going on? What's the matter? You okay?
I don't know. I feel like I'm losing it.
I must be hallucinating.
Oh, honey, it's probably just the meds.
Maybe.
[STUTTERING] Can we just go and grab the kids?
What? Why?
I need to see them.
-You're going to see them this week. -No, I have to see them now.
Please, Suz. Please.
-Please. -Okay.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Yeah, well, you don't look like you're studying to me.
What's the big deal?
We'll talk about it in the car. Come on. Let's go.
-I'll get a ride. -Don't worry.
I'll take care of her.
Yeah, that's not happening. Dana, now.
Fine.
Hey, asshole.

It's gonna be the best, best, best, I promise you.
Oh, yeah. Friday, Friday, I promise you.

Mm-hmm.
Now we got the juice. Now we got...

John, this isn't real.
What's that, old man?
You can't stop it.
You can't.
None of this is real. None of this is real, John.
It's gonna kill you and everyone you love.
Don't put your hands on me.
You scared?
Not at all.
You should be.
-ERIC: Christ, Dad! -[GROANING]
What the hell did you do?
What is wrong with you?

You just decked a kid. What is going on?
I don't know what's happening, okay?
Maybe like you said it's the meds. I just...
Okay.
You can talk to me, all right? What is it?

All right, all right.
You got scared. Everybody gets scared.
But there is a hell of a difference between being scared and fear.
You're not afraid. I won't allow it.
It's not the dying that I fear, Dad.
It's death itself.
Well, then get over it.
I can't, I can't... You don't understand I can't do this.
Don't say can't.
Don't you dare say "can't" to me.
I understand "won't."
No such thing as "can't."
[HAYES CLICKING TONGUE]
This family...
has been cursed for as long as I can remember.
And this goddamn relic I'm making you find
is the curse. It's needs to be destroyed by all of us.
And the fact that you disturbed it and didn't do that,
just simply pissed it off.
Now it's your turn.
If I go back...
I'll die for sure.
All right.
Show some honor, for Christ's sake.
Some respect for the family name.
You could see it in their eyes when they get hit.
They're ripped with fear, fear of pain,
feared they'll be cowards,
and some of them were.
They cry out,
they whine, they beg, and then...
something...
that was so mysterious, so secret
becomes clear.
It's that moment of relief when the dying realize that
death is not their punishment.
No, no, no, no, no. Death... Death...
Death is their fucking reward.
It's their prize!
It's what ends the pain.
Then all pain disappears, all fears leaves,
secrets are no more.
And death is embraced.
It's welcomed in.
You asked for my money,
I gave it to you. I hawked everything I own.
I will not lose this farm.
Now you go back.
And you finish this.
Or I swear I'll kill you myself right here.
I don't know how much longer I can keep this...
As long as it takes.
I sacrificed.
In life you sacrifice.
That's what soldiers do.
[GASPS]
[INDISTINCT SCREAMING]
This curse is more powerful
than anything anyone has ever encountered.
Do you understand what it does to a man?
I do now, Dad, but trust me.
No, I don't think you do.
I'm looking into your eyes
and I can see you're a coward.
You never used to be, now you are.
This gun...
was my father's.
I've been in combat, unlike you.
I've been wounded.
Unlike you.
And every time I killed, a part of me was reborn.
There always comes a moment, far less than a second,
when either you pull the trigger or they do.
The moment when a soldier becomes a killer.
You have to be prepared to die.
You know what they said when they saw us coming.
Who's that, Dad?
Fucking Aztecs!
Montezuma, that's who.
Our ancestors rolled with Cortes.
We are descendants of Don Marcos.
De Aragon. Francisco Martinez.
We can trace our line back to conquistadors.
For service to the king,
they gave us land without count.
And they all had to deal with this.
And they persevered.
Do you know what that means?
Eh?
-Do you understand what that means? -Take it easy.
-Do you... -Take it easy.
Do you fucking know what that means?
[GUN FIRES]
Yeah...
Yeah, maybe you are too much of a pussy to go back.
Prepare yourself, all my brothers.
For the white twin of Heaven has come to castrate the son.
[LAUGHING]
Castrate the son. By God if they didn't.
Now, don't make me regret having you.
You go back and you find it.
Or I'll blow your brains all over that horse.
Paul. Paul, thank God, man. I'm going to get you squared away.
Paul?

You spend all your time in this cave.
[SIGHS]
I mean, look, what it's doing to us.
[SIGHS] Suz...

My dad threatened to kill me today
if I didn't find it and destroy it.
Oh, my God.

I swear.
I would just like our family to be a family.
And we will.
And it will be much better. But I gotta go back.
I love you.
[SIGHS]
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hello.
Don't worry.
I don't even know what to do anymore.
Susan, listen to me.
How?
You know why I fell in love with you?
Why?
You were giving that lecture on the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, and you...
I fell in love with you because you were in awe.
In awe of what?
Life.
To you, life was this amazing, wonderful awesome adventure.
You traveled the world, you served your country,
fed the poor, generally did good wherever you went,
and you were in awe
about everything about it.
I'd never met anyone like you.
And I thought that
if I stayed close then maybe I would
get a glimpse of some of what you saw.
Maybe I'd
see what was so awesome.
And you know what? It worked.
[CHUCKLES] Life with you has
definitely been an adventure. I mean, sometimes you drive me crazy.
Yeah, well, sometimes life gets a little crazy.
And do you know why I had children with you?
Because I hoped that you would pass on to them that same sense of adventure.
And you did.
I mean, look at Dana. She wants to be just like you.
Yeah, well, I'm not sure I passed on that sense of awe to Eric, did I?
[SUSAN CHUCKLES] Well, there's still time.
If this is that important to you, then it's important to me, too.
Maybe your father's right about one thing. Maybe...
Maybe destroying this thing will save us.
[JOHN SIGHS]
We're going with you.
All of us, together as a family.
No. No way. Absolutely not.
This is truly the last time. I am not letting you go by yourself.
I've been on these trips with you a million times.
The kids have been in caves with you, we've done this.
This is different.
Even if we made it there, which is nearly impossible,
it's just way too dangerous.
Susan, you know normally, I would say yes.
This is just different.
I have always been there for you, every time. Right?
-Yeah. -And I will always be there.
Your dad just called me.
What did he have to say?
He said you need us.
That a family together will help find it.
He actually demanded that we go with you.
[SCOFFS] He's out of his mind.
[SCOFFS] But he was adamant.
He was adamant.
I'm so sick of him dictating my life to me.
I was finding amazing, valuable artefacts, making great money,
exploring interesting places. And now it's all about him
and that cave and that fucking relic.
Fuck him!
And what if he's right?
What is this does affect our children?
I'm not putting my family in danger.
I don't care if he begged you.
I'll handle this myself.
I believe you, John,
but I'm not taking no for an answer.
But this is it.
After this it's done.
Whether we find it or not.
Susan, this is a bad idea.
Susan.
Wait, watch out!
-[BRAKES SQUEALING] -Slow down, all right?
-Yeah, seriously. -Sorry, sorry.
Do you need a break?
No, I'm good.
Hey, Dad, have you read all of these?
Some. Those are Grandpa's.
He wrote a lot of it himself.
Wow. This guy's got way too much time on his hands.
JOHN: That's for sure.
So we're going to the black hollow cave?
That's one of its names.
This place is massive.
A lot of it hasn't been explored yet
so it's actual size is unknown.
Ugh, gross.
ERIC: Yo, sucks to be this guy.
She's not bad, though.
"The people of the sun, as they were called,
were known to be the strongest that ever lived."
Okay. You lost me.
"Legends tell of their superior forms."
We're talking thousands of years ago.
Ancient civilization, before people as we know,
like, stepped foot on this planet.
"And the people of the night who lived in the caves,
"unable to tolerate the scorching temperatures,
"they got enslaved and murdered by the people of the sun."
[SCREAMING]
This thing goes way back.
What does that thing say about the people of the moon?
People of the jiggly biscuits?
Gramps lost his goddamn mind.
"The women were raped."
[SCREAMING]
"Even children were killed."
"Then the people of the night prayed to their gods for help,
"but their gods didn't answer.
"But they prayed again and again, and still they didn't answer.
"So they prayed to the Devil.
"And the Devil sent the Inan."
"The Inan"?
What?
Thought he just must be pissed
his parents gave him such a shitty, nerd name.
Could be a she.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Women are crazy.
DANA: "The Inan is a force of evil that this world has never seen.
"It caused so much death
"to both the people of the night, and the people of the sun
"that eventually, the gods intervened and stopped it,
"captured it and trapped its soul into a statue.
"A statue known as the relic."
Yeah, it sounds like a fairy tale.
It's like a religion.
God's real.
Okay, well, if God is real so is the Devil.
The Devil is only inside your mind if you allow it.
Okay. Guess we're just gonna have to find out, now, won't we?
[ERIC SIGHS]
So, Pops.
If we do find this thing,
we are going to get paid, right?
I know you work hard.
I'm only gonna take 10%.
We find it and we destroy it.
Lame.
Dad,
do you believe in the curse?
I'm not sure what I believe.
ERIC: Yeah, because the thing looks like a glorified garden gnome.
Why does he want it so bad if it's so evil?
Because he says that he's cursed.
Is he?
Well, he's convinced he is.
[SCOFFS]
Wow.
Gramps, completely off the deep end.
It looks so...
[GROWLING]
Did you feel that?
Here comes Mr. Sunshine.
R.J.
I thought I told you never to come back here again.
We didn't have a choice.
Oh, you didn't have a choice.
Wonderful. So, uh, you bring any evil here?
Come on, R.J.
All right, you know what? Get out of the car.
Seriously, get out of the fucking car.
Dan, Arlis, come here.
JOHN: Just relax.
"Just relax"? Yeah, come on, buddy.
Huh? You want to meet everybody? I'll introduce you.
Everybody, this is John.
He's responsible for Paul's death.
Why are you telling them that? You know what happened.
What the fuck did you think was gonna happen,
you're gonna come here and be friendly like this?
We're here to get the evil away.
-You stupid girl. -Watch yourself.
You're all gonna die.
Hide before your gods see your shame.
JOHN: Dana, come on.
-I won't let anyone speak to you like that. -Okay, sweetie. Come on.
I suggest you let us through.
Paul was a good man.
He was a friend of mine.
[ENGINE STARTING]
Let them through.
ERIC: Hey, what the hell was that all about?
He blames me for the death of his friend.
Is he right?
Sort of.
[ERIC SCOFFS]
[ENGINE STOPS]
Let's go.
Waiting changes nothing, y'all.
Dad, good luck, really.
-ERIC: Famous last words. -[SUSAN CHUCKLES]
JOHN: Thanks.
All right.
Here's a map of the cave.
What we've uncovered so far.
Here's where we're starting, here's where we're ending,
this little chamber right there.
Wait, wait, wait.
That's like, really far away, Dad.
Yeah, and it's not an easy trek.
Hang on.
We gotta go through a river?
And a lot more. I'm just hoping my raft's still there.
Come on!
Can you take this with you, please?
You know what? Let's let Dana navigate.
Sweet.
All right, listen up, Come here, come here. I want to talk to you.
This is not an easy trip, okay?
I need you guys to keep your eyes and ears open.
Stick tight. Let's go.
DANA: Great. Everything good?
ERIC: Yeah.
SUSAN: Got your helmet, got your light.
ERIC: Yup, light, everything, we're good.
You scared?
I'm not fucking scared.
Yeah, you are.
JOHN: There's no reason to be scared.
I'm carrying a weapon.
Keep your eyes and your ears open.
Is that a water snake?
Nah.
Goddamn, it should just be up on the right here.
Great. It's still here.
ERIC: Oh, thank God.
JOHN: Otherwise, we'd be getting real wet.
ERIC: No, you'd be getting wet.
JOHN: Trust me, this is the shortcut.
You don't even wanna deal with the long way.
Careful. Come on down.
All right.
Unhook us here, huh, Son?
ERIC: This is way better than a Carnival cruise.
[SUSAN CHUCKLING]
-JOHN: Yeah. -ERIC: Way better.
[SUSAN LAUGHING]
DANA: This place is amazing.
SUSAN: Look at that.
Oh, my God. This is...
This is exactly what we needed, see.
This is amazing.
Watch your head. Get down. Yep, yep.
Oh.
ERIC: Heh.
DANA: This is crazy.
There?
SUSAN: Wow.
ERIC: Heh.
Do I use the rope?
Wait for the rope, wait for the rope.
Right there.
-JOHN: That's it. -[SUSAN GRUNTS]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You all right?
DANA: Hurry up. Come on.
SUSAN: Best idea ever. It's totally what we need.
ERIC: Let's go. You guys coming?
SUSAN: Coming! I'm coming, I'm coming. [LAUGHING]
Oh, look at this.
-[ERIC GRUNTS] -[DANA LAUGHS]
ERIC: I feel like I need a selfie with that waterfall.
-DANA: Oh, my gosh. -SUSAN: It's amazing, isn't it?
-Come here. -Hurry up.
JOHN: It's just down there and to the left.
SUSAN: Okay. Be careful.
DANA: I am.
ERIC: Hey, Dad.
-JOHN: Yeah. -Twenty percent.
JOHN: Yeah.
[PANTING]
[JOHN GRUNTS]
JOHN: Slow down, sweetie. Let me lead.
Stick tight.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
JOHN: Whoa. Do you guys hear that?
ERIC: Hear what?
Slow down, Dana!
-Fine. -SUSAN: She does what she wants.
[GROWLING]
DANA: Is this it?
JOHN: Yeah.
We have to go down there?
JOHN: It's the only way in.
DANA: Cool.
Wait for us, Dana.
Watch yourself.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
ERIC: Holy shit.
[SUSAN CHUCKLES]
SUSAN: John, come on.
Whoa. [PANTING]
DANA: What is this place?
JOHN: This is the main ceremonial chamber.
DANA: It's amazing.
SUSAN: Oh, my God.
JOHN: This is where they used to gather for all of their
celebrations,
rituals...
and sacrifices.
[ERIC CHUCKLING]
Sacrifices.
Oh. It's sick.
Yeah, it's definitely sick.
At one point, there was a massive battle.
There was a lot of people killed.
And the enemy warriors were disemboweled
and beheaded.
[ERIC GROANS]
Pops.
[GASPS]
[CHUCKLES]
Check this out.
Oh.
Now this is what I'm talking about.
Let's go.
Dana, don't get too far ahead.
I won't. Maybe.
God, the wind through these caverns, it's like a pipe organ.
[SUSAN CHUCKLING]
JOHN: Just stay tight.
There, to the right.
DANA: Is this it?
JOHN: That's so weird.
Okay, I got it.
[COUGHING]
[GRUNTING]
[JOHN SIGHS]
I swear, it just like, glowed for a second.
Yeah.
I am gonna take this home and cut it to pieces
if I have to use a damn chainsaw.
You never have to come back here again.
Amen.
We did it. We actually did it.
[SUSAN LAUGHING]
Help me get it into my pack.
DANA: This place is crazy.
Guys,
there is a ton of dope shit down here.
We found it!
I can't hear you.
[SUSAN CHUCKLING]
DANA: Eric.
[GROWLING]
Dad?
[SUSAN CHUCKLING]
Oh, my God. And it was easy. You guys found it super-fast. You walked in and it was done.
What the hell is that?
JOHN: We gotta get out of here, now.
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
No! No!
No! [SCREAMS]
No! No!
[SUSAN YELLING]
-No! -[INAN GROWLING]
[GROWLS]
No! Susan! No!
Susan!
[GROWLING]
[JOHN CRIES]
[GROWLS]
[GROANS]
[SOBBING]
Fuck, you abandoned them.
You abandoned them.
How could you do that?
[SHRIEKS]
[PANTING]
[GUN COCKS]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Fuck.
[RINGING CONTINUES]
Dad.
What the hell is going on?
-They're dead. -No, they're not.
What do you mean?
Susan called on the sat phone.
They're trapped in the cave. They're worried as hell about you.
No, that's impossible. I saw them die.
You didn't see shit!
[STUTTERING] What... What did she say? Where are they?
Just that. Where the hell are you?
I'm on the road by the river.
Stay there. I'm on my way.
[SIGHS] Oh, God.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
This ought to be fun.
I told you not to come back here.
Hey, hey!
The animals are dead here.
The children are sick. It's because of you.
Okay, it's my fault, yeah.
None of that matters now, R.J.
My family's trapped and I need your help.
You need my help?
-Yeah. -Okay.
Hey, he needs my help, guys.
-[MAN CHUCKLES] -Okay, I got your help right here, huh.
Come on.
-Huh? -[GROANS]
[JOHN GRUNTS]
R.J.: How about that, huh?
I told you you were gonna die here, John.
-I told you, didn't I? -Come on.
-Come on, R.J. -Fellows.
What should we do with this guy?
MAN: Cut his head off.
HAYES: Hold it!
Leave him be.
-[JOHN GROANS] -Go on home.
Go on home.
R.J.: See you around, John.
You ran off.
You ran off and left your own family.
They're dead. I saw them all die, Dad.
What you saw was in your mind.
Trying to scare you off. Hallo-fucking-ween.
That's what you saw.
That, and your imagination running off with you.
It's messing with your mind.
We're gonna go back to the cave, and we're gonna get your wife and kids,
and that relic.
Before we all die.
Oh, fuck.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[GROWLING]
[MAN SCREAMING]
Listen.
If we don't do this, you're gonna die.
Not just die and be done,
you're gonna be stuck in a place meaner than hell.
We have a mission to complete, and I'm not asking you.
[MAN SCREAMING]
What is that?
[ROARING]
It's a sound telling you to man the fuck up.
We're gonna need a little help from above.
Are you expecting God to help us?
No, I don't think God's here at the moment. Look who's saying that.
I can tie into the army satellites.
It's still the best goddamn technology in the world.
Lose the clutter.
See what's what.
-Is that them? -Yes, that's them.
Dad, I swear I saw them die.
You saw what it wanted you to see.
Now, it's arrogant to think we can defeat the Devil, but that's not our goal.
I'll distract them.
Give you time to get Susan and the kids out.
-I don't understand how... -Save it.
-But Dad... -I said save it!
No time for hows or buts.
Those thermal images.
That's your wife, my grandkids.
We're gonna do this thing this way.
This little beauty.
Almost one of a kind.
Hand-held, gas-operated, clip fed.
Ten-gauge explosive shells.
Hopefully it'll work.
At the very least it'll get their attention.
We'll see.
-Have some goddamn faith. -All right. All right.
Besides,
toys that make noise give soldier boys courage.
All I'm telling you is I dumped
an entire clip into them and it didn't do shit.
I want you to lose that negative attitude, I want you to lose it now.
[SIGHS]
You worry about getting Susan and the kids out.
I'll worry about the rest.
Personally, I think this little operation's gonna be a show stopper.
Yeah.
Show stopper. Show stopper.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
HAYES: Here.
Yeah.
Come on.
That way.
Okay.
I got enough stuff here to take out this whole cave.
And you get the wife and kids,
get the relic, we're outta here, no problem.
Shit. Shit.
He's got the relic.
Don't just stand there. Go get it.
Go on. Go! Go! Get the fuck out of here.
SUSAN: Okay, right here, turn left.
Come on.
Ge your light off.
Get down.
[WHIMPERS]
SUSAN: Okay.
-[WHISPERING] Susan. -John!
John, right here!
John, we're here! Turn your light off.
Turn your light off. Oh, God.
-All right, guys, come on, we gotta go. -ERIC: No.
We gotta go, Eric.
I'm not going out there.
Come on. It's now or never.
Trust me. Eric.
-SUSAN: It's okay. -[SHUSHING]
Where's your father?
He was... He was right behind me.
[ROARING]
Shit. Something's wrong.
Right here. Take this.
I'll be back in one minute.
I love you.
Be careful.
Stay down.
Get away from him!
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
-Let's go. -No!
I love you, Son.
Dad.
-Dad. -Go. Go.
Go!
[GROWLS]
Come on, guys. We gotta go now. Now!
Give me this.
Come on, Eric. It's now or never. Let's go, Son. Come on.
There you go.
[TIMER BEEPING]
SUSAN: Careful, you guys.
[ROARING]
[GRUNTING]
JOHN: Whoo!
All right, guys.
Shower still works for anybody who wants one.
-DANA: Yes. -After me.
-No, I'm going first. -JOHN: No, I'm bigger.
Dad, I'm going first.
Dude, 25%.
[SERENE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS]
All for this.
So creepy.
So was it worth it?
We'll have to find out.
All right. Let's end this.
[WHIRRING]
[WHIRRING CONTINUES]
Good work, Pop.
Hi.
Thank you.
For taking me with you.
Always good to have you, buddy.
I just wish Grandpa would've made it.
No, he died like a warrior.
That's all he ever wanted.
Made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
If there's one thing that crazy old bastard taught me,
it's sacrifice is the bravest thing a man can do.
Yeah.
I guess so.
I love you, Pop.
I love you, Son.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
I just wanted to say goodnight, and, uh,
and thank you.
For what?
Just for being you.
Sometimes I don't really know who that is.
[CHUCKLES] Well, welcome to the club.
Hey.
It's gonna be okay.
It is, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
-You promise? -Oh, I guarantee it.
-Goodnight, sweetie. -Goodnight.
I keep thinking about my dad.
I guess he really loved me after all.
Yep.
He did what he felt was best for you.
For him.
For all of us.
Yeah, he did.
[CHUCKLES]
I love you so much.
I love you.
And I'm just so glad this whole thing is over.
-Now we can be a family again. -Yeah.
You know what else he said to me?
What's that?
He said that God is in a fight with the Devil.
And that God is losing.
-He said that to you? -He did.
He also said that God needs our help.
You know what I think?
Tell me.
[VOICE DEEPENING] You should have minded your own business.
[GROWLING]
No!
Come on, John.
Snap out of it.
Let go!
[SCREAMING]
DOCTOR: Got the airway. Two liter.
Can I get his vitals?
NURSE: He's 70s over 30s.
He's in V-fib. We're losing him.
Hey, Dad. I love you.
Hey, Dad. It's gonna be okay.
John!
-NURSE: Still nothing. Go one more time. -Clear.
[FLATLINING]
Clear!
It's gonna be okay.
[GROWLING]
Fight, Susan, fight!
[YELLING]
[NURSE GASPING]
No. No!
Let go.
I'm proud of you.
[FLATLINING]
DOCTOR: You wanna call it?
SUSAN: No. He's not gone.
You did the right thing.
Come on, John.
Come back! Come back, John.
I love you, John.
I love you.
