Crazy Texas (2025) Movie Script

(Rocky knocks)
(door closes)
(Rocky groans)
[Trevor] You know, I
told you I had something
to talk to you about.
I need some help, all right?
We gotta go play a little
trick on a couple girls.
What's the trick, can you tell, like-
All we gotta do is we
just take this little cloth
and we put it over their mouth
and they pretend like they go to sleep,
and we toss them in the back
of this van and we drive off.
Oh God, it's so cold.
Yeah, just have another drink.
Let's just get to the next house.
Hey, we're skipping "Oh, Holy Night,"
You all are flat on that one.
(indistinct)
(group laughs)
- I'll ring the next doorbell.
- Just let Avery do it.
Wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Oh my goodness, that was wonderful.
Thank you so much.
Please come.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays.
[Woman] Merry Christmas.
You ever see birds flying in the sky?
The big old formation?
- You know when they got that V?
- Yeah.
You know why one side of that V
is always longer than the other one?
'Cause there's more birds in that side.
(both laugh)
(door opens)
Be careful.
Don't let my baby cats escape.
Oh, you have cats?
- Yes.
- We also have cats.
Yes.
Oh, these weren't the treats
you were talking about, were they?
Oh, don't mind the meds, girls.
Here's the candy in here.
Come pick out what you like.
There's... (screaming)
(Avery screaming)
Oh my gosh!
(Trevor shushing)
Oh, please don't hurt us.
Please, don't hurt us.
(Trevor shushing)
- Sit down.
- Oh, oh, no.
Oh no.
Grandma, it's time for
you to take a little nap.
(woman screaming)
(suspenseful music)
Come on, Rock.
(suspenseful music)
(door opens)
(Rocky groans)
(door closes)
Come on, Rocky, come on, come on.
Get up front, get up front.
(suspenseful music)
Get in the car.
Get in the car!
(car beeping)
(trunk closes)
(kick thuds)
Come on.
(engine rumbling)
(tires screeching)
(suspenseful music)
(engine revving)
Slow it down, slow it down.
Come on, can't draw attention to us.
You just ran that stop sign, Rock.
What did I tell you about that?
Dude, I didn't see
the fucking stop sign.
- All right.
- Dammit!
Where the fuck is this place, man?
Come on, come on.
(car beeps)
(suspenseful music)
Keep going, we gotta hurry.
Come on.
(suspenseful music)
(Trevor panting)
(trunk closes)
(Trevor panting)
(suspenseful music)
(trunk clicks)
You're sweating over this?
You need to work out more, man.
Who are you, my personal trainer now?
Ah, come get in.
I'm driving, I'm driving. (Trevor panting)
(door opens)
(car beeps)
(engine revs)
(door closes)
(suspenseful music)
(window whirring)
(window whirring)
We're just gonna check
your car real quick, sir.
Is everything okay?
[Officer] Sir, can you
please turn off your vehicle?
What's going on, man?
Nothing to worry about.
You're a little sweaty.
Yeah, (chuckles nervously) I was hot.
I took my sweater off.
Just tossed it in the back seat back here.
It's right back there.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(suspenseful music)
- They're good to go.
- You're clear, sir.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Drive safe
Fucking crazy Texas, man. (laughs)
Told you we'd get through this, Rock.
Remember, keep this quiet.
- Oh yeah, I know that.
- All right.
Come on, it's time to go.
Get the fuck out.
- Rock.
- Yeah.
Oh, go on.
Rock?
I don't think this is the place.
- Yes, it is.
- Okay.
Find it.
Oh God, that guy pisses me off.
He's going to be trouble. (laughs)
I may have to fucking smack his head
with a baseball bat someday.
Yeah, it's a pretty good idea.
(suspenseful music)
(door whirring)

(thunder roaring)
(tense suspenseful music)
(thunder roaring)
(tense suspenseful music)
Thank you all for coming here today.
We appreciate you being
here to celebrate the lives
of Francisco and Maria.
A loving couple who was
devoted to God, their family,
and to the communities.
Their untimely passing has
brought sorrow to many of us,
but as Jesus once said,
"Those that mourn are blessed,
for they're comforted."
If anyone would like
to pay their respects,
we're asking the family to go first.
(footsteps tapping)
(suspenseful music)
[Lilly] Everything began in this room.
All of our issues stemmed
from this moment in time.
That's Avery, my sister,
and that's me, the girl
I used to be anyways.
Avery has always been
the more emotional one.
That's why she needs me.
There is no good way to hear the news
that your grandparents are dead.
The reading of our grandparents' will
is where our troubles began,
but it isn't how we got here.
That by itself is an
entirely different story.
First, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I do have here your grandparents'
last will and testament.
I wanna let you know
that they did leave you
a large sum of money, which
of course will be split
between both of you.
(rain pattering)
(thunder roaring)
- Where are we?
- What do you mean
where are we?
We got kidnapped, we've been
here for the last two days.
What?
(Avery sniffling)
(thunder roaring)
Who are you?
- Why are we here?
- What's going on?
(suspenseful music)
(Trevor shushing)
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
O tidings Of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
(tense music)
(plastic tearing)
From God our heav'nly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
(Trevor shushing)
O tidings if comfort and joy
Just listen.
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a feeding
In tempest, storm, and wind
And went straightway to Bethlehem
(keys jingling)
"Music."
"It acts like a key, a magic key."
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
(keys jingling)
"To which only the tightly
closed heart can open."
O tidings of comfort and joy
Who said that?
O tidings of comfort and joy
(Trevor laughs)
Maria Augusta von Trapp said that.
(suspenseful music)
You being here is not coincidental.
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
I have a special plan for you.
(Avery sobbing)
O tidings of comfort and joy
I know your friends.
I know everything about you.
I know your family.
I even know your faith.
[Avery] Do you hate Christians?
(Trevor speaks in French)
It's not (speaks in French).
That means my brother.
My friend.
Lilly, I need your help,
to tell the truth, the
whole world needs your help.
More than you will ever know.
You were here, you're both here right now
because you are true believers.
And Avery, oh, sweet, Avery,
you are very, very special.
O tidings of comfort and joy
I want your help to tell
everyone the good news.
(thunder roaring)
[Lilly] I think he's wanting
us to do something religious.
Lilly, okay, we need
to try to make a plan
to get out of here.
Are you chained up too?
- (chain clanking)
- Obviously?
[Avery] Do you think he can hear us?
I think we just need to
focus on listening to him
so we can get out.
No, no, no, Lilly, there's
people looking for us.
Mom and dad and Olivia, okay?
We need to try and get out of here.
He's been jugging us
with the old lady's meds.
If he is, I don't feel it.
I don't really don't feel anything.
I feel hazy, it's...
God, do you hear water dripping?
I love you.
But we really gotta focus on
here and just listen to him.
Think he's still in here?
I don't think so.
No, he can hear us,
I know he can hear us.
What do you want?
[Trevor] There's no need to yell.
I'm never far away.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
You poor girl.
- You must be starving.
- No, no, I'm not eating.
(tense music)
(Avery spits)
It is not good generosity
to put your food on the floor!
Avery we would get out
of here a lot quicker
- if you just-
- Comply.
That's right, comply!
I don't wanna have to hurt you, Avery.
Let's make a deal.
I'll tell you why you're
here if you eat your food.
That sounds fair.
Avery, eat the food, don't be so stubborn.
Inheritance is a blessing
and a curse.
So, this isn't about our family's money?
[Trevor] Oh, no.
From the way that it sounds,
we're not here for money.
[Trevor] Money is how
your grandparents influenced
the world.
I wanna make my own difference.
You know the owner of
the Lifesaver company
that he's got his names on
hospitals across the country?
Don't know what you're talking about.
He has his name on all these hospitals
and you don't know his name.
That's a great story.
Can you let us go now?
The question there remains
is how do we get people
to remember our name?
Let me put on some more music.
(suspenseful music)
(plastic crunching)
Wait, I know you.
God rest you merry, gentlemen
[Trevor] So, how do you know me?
You're Trevor.
[Trevor] That's right.
That's not what most people call me.
Then what do they call you?
They call me Servant. (laughs)
O tidings of comfort and joy
[Trevor] What's that
on the table over there?
It's an old black book.
That's right.
And you're gonna help
me use that black book.
If all goes well, y'all will be set free.
I'm not naive.
We know, if you let us free,
we'll go to the police.
Avery, just give him a chance.
[Trevor] It's not hard to
tell who the ambitious one is.
I'll always be in charge.
Not always be the wiser one.
And that's why you will help me.
(suspenseful music)
(plastic crunching)
(camera whirring)
It's amazing how these
things made a comeback.
Why do you need pictures of us?
I just need one of you.
I have plenty of all the others.
I just need to document your stay.
[Avery] I saw, I saw you at the church.
A father had two sons.
The younger son said to his father,
"I want my share of your
estate now before you die."
So, the father agreed to divide his wealth
between his two sons.
What is our fulfillment based on?
We all know the story of
how the prodigal son leaves
only to return home as a broken man.
So, the father agreed to divide his wealth
between his two sons.
Because only the love of the
father could fulfill him.
And speaking both to the
children in this room.
(plastic crunching)
(water dripping)
(suspenseful music)
Where did you see me in church?
- What church?
- You were there.
- I saw you.
- She's right, she did.
Of course it all makes sense.
Of course, you know our faith.
Look, it's a small town.
What we really need here
is a nice cup of tea.
(suspenseful music)
Olivia?
Olivia and I, were gonna take
a look at Christmas lights
on the 28th, the 23rd,
she will come find me.
Do you not know what day it is?
No, I don't know, it's hard to tell.
- It's dark.
- It's Christmas Eve.
How do you know?
[Trevor] She's right.
No, no, no, it can't be.
We we always go, we always go caroling
on the Friday before Christmas.
(suspenseful music)
[Trevor] Here you go.
This will help you calm down.
Oh, yes, yes.
(suspenseful music)
No, I'm not drinking any tea.
Calm down.
This will help you calm down.
It's okay, I already drank some.
(suspenseful music)
(water dripping)
- Oh, hey, Trevor.
- Hey, Rocky.
How you doing, buddy?
Good.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Sure, sure, make it
quick, make it quick.
I was doing some
thinking, had some plans,
how we could change things around here.
Change is good, Rocky, change is good.
Always remember,
you can be anybody you
want to be, man, okay.
- I gotta get going.
- And I had something
in my personal life that I wanted to...
All right, well, we can talk.
Maybe...
I got a get going.
Well, the main thing was the girls.
I wanted to talk about the girls.
Yeah, okay.
But I've gotta you going,
I've got an appointment
10 o'clock at the bar.
Does that work for you?
- Yeah, yeah.
- 10 o'clock.
Listen, me, all right
buddy, you take care.
(soft beat music)
Wanna hear about my plans now?
I don't wanna hear
about any plans, Rock,
I got a lot in my mind.
(soft beat music)
I've been going to church,
like we talked about.
Church.
Trying to be more part of the community.
Church? (scoffs)
4,000 religions in this world
and everybody seems to
think theirs the right one.
Who cares what everybody thinks?
It's just frustrating.
They think they know the truth.
- Fuck dude.
- Shit, man!
I didn't mean to upset you, Trevor.
Another round bartender,
laughy one, Karen down here too.
(soft beat music)
Rock, I got a job for you.
If you wanna make a couple 100 bucks.
Sure.
Anything I can do to help you out, Trevor.
(glasses clink)
(suspenseful music)
You two and I together
we'll be able to accomplish
something incredible.
Are you open to learning something new?
Like what?
God is real.
The devil, he's real too.
They are both deities.
Come on!
God makes mistakes.
His creation is out of control.
(Trevor screams)
If God is so perfect, why are you here,
right here, right now?
Why does He create imperfect humans?
And then He kills everyone.
(tense music)
My brothers, my family.
Can God make mistakes?
I think so.
Do you think what
you're doing here today
is for our own good?
Let me tell you the dark truth,
the cold hard truth about the church.
(suspenseful music)
Lies, all lies.
(suspenseful music)
Exodus 21,
"If a man sells his daughter as a servant,
she is not to go free
as men's servants do."
(laughs) You believe this?
These words of God?
Is the Bible, right?
And women can be sold like camels?
(suspenseful music)
(beeper beeps)
So, Avery, Lilly, why don't
y'all take a little time
and tell me what's been going on lately?
Well, we're going through
a bit of a challenging time
in our family.
It has to do with our
grandparents' inheritance.
We were given a choice
to either keep it all
or to donate it to the church.
And we're on opposite sides of what to do.
Kind of feels like a
whole entire family's legacy
is at stake here.
And I know she's been praying about it,
but I know she's still hurting
and we're just completely not
agreeing on a whole situation.
Well, you know, sometimes
just a soothing cup of tea,
just comforts of soul.
(pot taps)
- I'm okay, but thank you.
- Avery?
Sure, I'd like that, thank you.
This is a blend of chamomile
and lavender,
here to surely help you relax.
(clock ticks)
(rain pattering)
(suspenseful music)
(water dripping)
(chair clanging)
(tense music)
Tell me about Olivia.
[Lilly] She's Avery's best friend.
Not you, let your sister talk.
Guess you already know
she's my best friend.
Is that why she would be
wanting to come save you?
Yes, is she here?
No. (laughs)
Would you like her to join us?
No.
Well, I'm gonna have to
keep my eye out on her.
And she won't be afraid you.
Are you afraid of me?
You have me chained up, that
would be scary to anybody.
You didn't even mention your sister.
You have us chained up.
It's for your own safety.
I can't have you roaming
around here all by yourself.
Avery likes to roam.
That's good to know.
You can't do any wandering around
where I'm gonna be sending you up.
Agitation is natural.
(suspenseful music)
Stay calm.
- Please, no.
- Calm down.
(suspenseful music)
(Olivia sobbing)
Hi, have you seen my friend, Avery?
Nah.
(suspenseful music)
(lock clicks)
(Rocky knocks)
Hey, let me in.
What are you doing here?
It's Christmas Eve.
Yeah, I just came back for my cut.
(keys jingling)
Are you crazy?
You come here in the middle
of the night and you,
you expect me to just
hand over cash to you?
The job isn't done yet,
man, the job isn't done.
Well, it is for me.
Easy money, in and out.
That's what you said,
that's what you told me.
Just give me what you owe
me and I'll be gone, dude.
I got shit to do, yo.
Okay, calm down, calm down,
I got something you can do.
Come on in, I'll get you
your money, wait there.
(door squeaks)
(keys jingling)
Yeah, this here, this is
part of the mandrake root,
all right.
That's what I used to
put the girls to sleep.
And let me show you how it's done.
See this tea pot?
Hey, hey, see this tea pot?
All right, you fill it half full with tea.
Two scoops, right here.
Half full,
one.
What is this shit?
Look at these pictures.
(suspenseful music)
(Trevor shushing)
(suspenseful music)
(plastic crunching)
(suspenseful music)
Come on, Rock, we don't have all day.
(suspenseful music)
Holy shit, man.
(Trevor laughs)
I know you.
She fucking knows me.
No, no, no!
(Avery and Lilly screaming)
(Avery panting)
(Avery sobbing)
(plastic crunching)
It was either him or you
[Avery] Trevor, let my
sister go, I will do anything.
She's fine where she is.
Now we have everything we need. (laughs)
- I'll do whatever you want.
- Perfect.
(rain sizzling)
You're right, Rock, (laughs)
I do need to work out more.
(rain sizzling)
[Bartender] You want your usual?
Yes, please.
- Where's your friend?
- What friend?
Friend you came in with last night.
Sat right next to you.
Ah, he's not getting
out anywhere tonight.
He's got a splitting headache.
(soft beat music)
Here's your drink.
Thank you.
(soft beat music)
"The victim shall return"
but inhabited with its
newly elected spirit
"who will control and
consume the body." (laughs)
(soft beat music)
(Trevor continues laughing)
It is really nice to see you ladies again.
So, why don't you tell me about
what's been going on with y'all?
Yeah, so, we've still been dealing
with the inheritance situation,
but it's proven to be a
little more challenging
than anticipated.
Yeah?
Well, money can be a complicated thing.
And I had a patient one time
and she's dealing with a similar dilemma.
She had a daughter that stood to gain
significantly from a
life insurance policy,
but first she had to recover
from her mental illness.
And did she ever recover?
Well, it took time and effort,
but most of all, a willingness
to confront your demons.
So, what happened to her?
Sometimes the path to healing
requires confronting uncomfortable truths
and making difficult decisions.
And she wasn't really
ready to go down that path.
I'll leave y'all to it.
We'll see you next week, Avery.
Be careful.
(suspenseful music)
Lilly, I appreciate your
curiosity about my methods.
But you must understand that
my approach is the bit unorthodox.
Unorthodox, how?
I once had a patient similar
to you and your sister.
We tried the usual techniques,
but progress was slow.
I'm listening.
Well, I turned to something different
and it's something I'm not
allowed to share openly.
Well, you can't just
say that and not explain.
I engaged in herbal therapy.
It's on the fringes of
conventional therapy.
But I had to make a desperate
attempt to try to help,
but things went awry.
She couldn't follow instructions
and it ended tragically.
Can't divulged the details.
If word got out, I'd lose
my ability to help others.
And do you expect me
to believe all of this?
Sometimes unconventional
methods are necessary
when conventional ones fail.
It's about pushing boundaries
and bringing change
and hope when all is lost.
[Lilly] So, what are you
some kind of like therapist,
witch doctor?
Not quite, but there are
forces beyond our understanding.
(drawer opens)
(drawer closes)
My grandfather, he detailed
very interesting stuff
in this book.
(page flipping)
Stuff to bring change.
But it's very, very difficult.
(clock ticking)
So, you're saying
you'd go to great lengths
to help people?
I would, Lilly,
I'd even be willing to
divulge into the unknown.
But I really need your help.
I need your trust
and I need you to go
down this path with me.
All right.
(crickets chirping)
(Olivia knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(door opens)
I am looking for my friend Avery.
There's no one here.
You are here.
Of course I'm here.
I meant no one else is here.
It's Christmas Eve.
Why don't you go spend this evening
with your friends and your family.
Okay, thanks.
I guess I'll just go home,
cry about it alone in my room.
Wait, wait, wait.
If you need someone to talk to about,
why don't you to come in
and discuss it with me.
No, thank you.
I'm sorry for everything
you're going through.
Thanks.
Sometimes it's nice
to be able to be cope
with things by talking
with a good therapist.
How old are you now?
It's weird to ask that.
I can help with anyone
who's going through loss
or trauma, not just little girls.
You're a creep.
I don't want help from you.
The offer will always be there.
(Trevor laughs)
(door closes)
(suspenseful music)
(Trevor laughs)
I just saw that Trevor guy today.
He's a creep.
What were you doing with him?
I was trying to check on Avery.
How did he creep you out?
He just wanted to talk to
me alone about loss and stuff.
And he put his hand on my shoulder.
- Ew.
- Yeah, that guy is creepy.
I wouldn't wanna be alone with that hippy.
(suspenseful music)
I heard that the weird
guy, Rocky, is missing.
You guys, I have a plan.
Lucas, can you get a picture of Avery?
Sure, but why?
Just do it me, meet me at
my house right away, okay?
I don't think we should be doing this.
This feels wrong.
It's just a toy.
We can always stop if something happens,
What's gonna happen?
Nothing's gonna happen.
Lucas, did you bring the photo?
Yeah.
Here.
Okay, so we just ask it about Avery?
Exactly.
Please, tell us how Avery's doing.
Nothing's happening.
It is moving
[All] A.
V.
E.
[Olivia] Oh God.
[All] R.
Y.
Avery.
H.
E.
[Olivia] No, no, please, no.
[All] I.
(suspenseful music)
P.
Avery needs our help.
What?
What?
What are you talking about?
Avery needs our help.
We need to go get her.
[Lucas] I don't think we should do this.
We could get hurt.
- This sounds dangerous.
- Are you kidding me?
I can't believe you.
Good luck, Olivia.
Yeah, it's time for us to head out.
See you.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps tapping)
(suspenseful music)
How can I help you guys?
It's Detective Johnson,
I'm Brunson.
- What's going on?
- We are here investigating
a missing person from your congregation.
Yeah, that's Rocky.
He's here every Sunday.
You notice anything unusual?
Well, Rocky is a bit unusual.
What do you mean by unusual?
He's just an odd duck,
he's got a Mohawk haircut.
Is he involved in the church?
He is, but mostly
just social gatherings.
Did he happen to have any close friends?
Sadly, not many, he
was a bit of a loner.
Okay, well if you hear anything,
will you let us know, please?
Of course.
- Good luck.
- Yes, sir.
(suspenseful music)
(detective knocks)
(door opens)
Can I help you?
Detective Johnson and Brunson,
we're going door-to-door
investigating reports
of a missing man.
Someone who your family might
have had interactions with.
Looking for a man named Rocky.
He's a missing person.
Oh yeah, he comes to church sometimes.
Kind of an odd guy.
Anything unusual
happened recently with him?
New friend, maybe?
No, I mean, he was always friendly.
Just, you know, kind of odd.
Okay, well if you think of
anything, will you let us know?
I hope you, hope you find him.
Y'all have a good evening
and Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
(door locks)
(suspenseful music)
I am sorry for being so late here,
but it's been a busy, busy day
and we're making a lot of progress,
I just want you to know
that, lots of good progress
and sometimes the strains
of change become visible
and I can see this
change has made an impact
on you and Nicole, if there's a,
if something you wanna share with us,
just go right ahead.
Oh, well, it's been very
difficult with Avery gone,
and I just, I keep
expecting to see her face.
It's as if they're both gone forever
and we're left empty. (sobs)
This will continue to be difficult,
but Lilly is really
helping Avery find her way.
I know it's difficult to miss
both of them at the same time,
but you just have to,
you have to remember
that this isn't the end.
- It feels like it.
- In a new beginning,
there's new routines, okay?
So, it's just something
you have to get used to
and you have to remember
that they're still alive
and they need you to be complete people.
Change doesn't happen overnight.
It's a process.
And sometimes that
process is uncomfortable.
You can support each other through this
and you must be strong for them.
You know, if the girls were
here in front of you right now,
I'd encourage them to
share their feelings.
It's crucial that you let them know
that you love them unconditionally.
Can we see them?
Be patient and in
time you just might find
that the bonds you share,
well, they can withstand even
the toughest of challenges.
I'm sorry to cut this short,
but I am very, very busy today
and we will set up another appointment,
but I've got to get back to work.
Let's go.
We've gotta go.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
[Avery] We could try to break the chair.
[Lilly] Ever break a metal chair before?
No.
Only it was rope or something.
- We could-
- But it's not.
I think we should just agree with him.
I mean, yeah, he has
twisted views about God,
but that doesn't mean we
need to debate with him
about it either.
And then he called down
curses and he swore to them,
I don't know the man,
- immediately, a rooster crow.
- Stop, he's going to hear us.
I haven't said anything
that he shouldn't hear.
(plastic crunching)
During the last 2000 years,
the church has been hiding the truth
and my grandfather was able to prove it.
But why would the church lie?
Why would anyone wanna cover
up the truth of our creation,
and the Almighty God?
(suspenseful music)
The church has killed, is still killing
and will continue to kill
to cover this secret.
Oh, and the answer to your
question is very, very simple,
(suspenseful music)
Power.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps swooshing)
If the church controls the
narrative of the entire universe,
then that same church
controls the people of that universe.
So, go publish your book,
you don't need us for that.
I need to know you are ready.
(suspenseful music)
This is much more powerful
than the three of us.
(suspenseful music)
(footsteps swooshing)
Who is gonna help me reveal
the truth to the entire world?
- She is.
- Sisters.
Always choosing for somebody else
like you got something to prove.
Now, before I move on,
let me tell you a little bit
about my grandfather. (laughs)
(suspenseful music)
In the late 1940's,
these things called the Dead Sea Scrolls
were found in caves.
They were the earliest known copies
of the Old Testament Bible texts.
When they were found,
several different governments
claimed ownership during
a war in the Middle East,
before some of the scrolls
fell into private hands,
the church largely discredited this book
because it holds the truth
about the creation story.
After my grandfather fled from the church,
(gun pops)
He began to detail the
contents of the scroll
in his journal, the power
of the Mandragora plant,
the seance to perform the
ritual to the other side.
And of course, the most important part,
the truth about the devil and
God, Adam, Eve and Lilith.
(suspenseful music)
Hmm.
You know,
the truth is that thousands
of angels and demons exist,
(suspenseful music)
But they're all the same beings.
(suspenseful music)
You see, the Bible is only
one side of the story.
It isn't the whole truth.
Other detailed accounts exist.
Lilly, I don't know
what he wants me to do,
but I don't think I can do it.
We're going to make it.
Like I was saying,
there's other credible books in the Bible
like the Book of the Giants,
the Apocalypse of Adam.
(suspenseful music)
You know those?
I could go on and on,
but you know those 66 Christian
Bible books you memorized?
Well, the Catholic Bible has 73 of them.
Seems kind of weird, huh?
(suspenseful music)
I feel like we just need a
little motivation, maybe,
maybe we just need some more time.
You know what they say?
Time heals all things.
Maybe it's time for some more tea.
No, no, please.
Okay, yes, you're right, it's weird.
It's weird that they'd
have a different bible.
(Trevor shushing)
It's okay, it's okay.
You just need a little more time.
And I need to guarantee our privacy.
(Avery sobbing)
I'll be back soon
and remember,
I'm watching you.
(Avery crying)
(suspenseful music)
Oh Avery, yes.
Sweety.
(suspenseful music)
Yes, sweety.
(suspenseful music)
I don't know about any of this.
It just seems like her whole entire mind
is just getting worse and worse.
Lilly, sometimes things just
have to go that worst phase
to get to the better.
Avery's mind is going
through a transformation,
and it may seem challenging now,
but you gotta remember we've got a plan.
(suspenseful music)
But what if she doesn't get better?
You have to trust the process, Lilly.
And remember, you're doing
this to help your sister.
It's hard to be the hopeful one.
She was always the hopeful one, not me.
Lilly, you gotta trust me.
The process and transformation
I'm guiding Avery through
right now, it'll work.
But imagine a life where you are both free
from all the struggles
that you have right now.
Life without financial
struggle does sound pretty good.
It's possible, Lilly.
All you gotta do is have faith, trust,
and belief in process.
She's gonna emerge from this battle,
this struggle, stronger than ever.
(suspenseful music)
(knife clicks)
(flash clicks)
(zipper zips)
(suspenseful music)
(Olivia exhales deeply)
Avery?
It's time.
Avery.
(Avery whimpering)
The powder from which great power came.
(Avery sniffling)
(suspenseful music)
The light which guides the soul,
(suspenseful music)
(Avery sniffling)
The blood of the deceived.
(suspenseful music)
(blood dripping)
(Avery sobbing)
(suspenseful music)
No, no, no.
One drop of blood from
a pure innocent traveler.
(Avery screaming)
(suspenseful music)
[Lilly] After this, will you let us go?
Stop.
[Lilly] Avery, you
don't have to do this.
It's the only way for us to be free.
All of us.
Jesus will protect me.
(suspenseful music)
(Avery crying)
(footsteps tapping)
That's a good girl, that's a good girl.
(suspenseful music)
(Avery sobbing)
One word outta you, and
I'll kill your sister.
(suspenseful music)
Avery, Avery, I'm here.
I'm gonna get you out, okay?
I promise.
(Olivia screaming)
(Trevor laughs)
Merry Christmas, Olivia.
Merry Christmas. (laughs)
(Trevor continues laughing)
Ladies, guess who decided
to join us for Christmas.
(suspenseful music)
So, listen very, very carefully
because all of your lives depend on it,
as does the sanctity of your Bible
(suspenseful music)
And the truth.
(suspenseful music)
Thanks to this journal,
and the glorious work
of my late grandfather,
we are now ready to send Avery
to the other side.
(suspenseful music)
A place between heaven and hell.
(Trevor laughs)
(suspenseful music)
Oh, oh, Avery sweet, sweet, Avery.
You're going to walk a
path in a dark forest
until you see a door.
Do not for any reason, leave the path.
Knock at that door three times.
Don't be afraid.
Beyond that door, you
will find the lost mother,
in a room full of curiosities.
We don't know much about this room.
But you have a simple task.
Exchange this black rose
for a candle
(suspenseful music)
And safe passage.
Do only as she tells you
or your greed will be your downfall.
Whatever you do, do not
look in the shadows.
Find the circle on the ground,
place the candle in the middle
and whisper, in between heaven and hell,
I give this light to return the master
of the shadows back to the world.
And we will all have rewards
that we can never imagine.
(Trevor laughs)
(suspenseful music)
Are you ready?
(detective knock)
(suspenseful music)
Goddammit.
(suspenseful music)
(Trevor panting)
(detective knocks)
(Trevor panting)
(plastic crunching)
(detective knocks)
(suspenseful music)
(door opens)
What can I do for you
this evening, gentlemen?
I think you know why we're here.
No, I can't say that I do.
Funny.
Doesn't Rocky work here?
Rocky, yeah.
You know he is missing, right?
Yeah, that's Rocky.
No, I wasn't aware.
He was reported missing
yesterday evening.
Oh my goodness.
I haven't seen him.
He's not scheduled to
work here for Christmas,
so, I have no idea.
Tell you what guys, you wanna
come in and talk about it?
I'm sure your job is
really, really difficult.
So, maybe you just need to get some advice
on how to deal with the stress
that this burden you
have you carry every day.
Hey, I'm a licensed therapist
and I sure could use a new client or two.
No thanks.
Okay.
I don't think we caught your full name.
Baldwin.
Trevor Baldwin.
Okay, Mr. Balding, thanks for your time.
We'll talk to you again soon.
Baldwin.
Baldwin.
(thunder roars)
(door closes)
(Trevor laughs)
(suspenseful music)
(plastic crunching)
(Trevor chanting in foreign language)
(tense suspenseful music)
(water dripping)
(Trevor chanting in foreign language)
To the realm of the beyond,
I commit this soul to retrieve the power
and the glory of a darkened angel!
(suspenseful music)
So, he may rise once
again and roam the earth
to bring balance and truth
to a world full of deception.
So, we rise up,
(suspenseful music)
(lid crunching)
(suspenseful music continues)
To follow a true leader!
(suspenseful music)
Take this soul and bring back
the one they call Lucifer!
(eerie chilling whispers)
(tense suspenseful music)
(eerie music)
(coffin pops)
(eerie music)
(crickets chirping)
(eerie music)
(footsteps crunching)
Hello?
(eerie whispers)
(tense eerie music)
Hello?
(creature growling)
(eerie music)
(footsteps crunching)
(creature growling)
(Avery knocks)
(eerie suspenseful music)
(lock clicks)
(door squeaking)
(tense eerie music)
(tense eerie music continues)
(creature growling)
(tense suspenseful music)
(creature growling)
(tense suspenseful music)
(creatures wailing)
- Hello.
- Hello?
(tense suspenseful music)
I once lost my daughters in a river
and you look somewhat like one of them.
I have this rose for you.
Hmm, beautiful, so, are you a visitor,
just stopping on your journey?
I just wanna go home.
Look for the light to
guide you home my child.
Once you find it,
go back to the door from
which you came from.
Then you walk to the five flames,
place your candle in the center,
state your desires and
they will be fulfilled.
And make sure you tell
your sister and her friend
to come visit me. (laughs)
(tense eerie music)
(fingers snap)
(tense eerie music)
(door opens)
(door closes)
(eerie whispers)
(tense suspenseful music)
(eerie whispers continue)
(suspenseful music continues)
Guiding light,
bring back.
Olivia!
Olivia was there.
Help!
Olivia.
Are you okay?
What did you do?
What the hell did you do?
(Trevor groaning)
I'll tell you what this bitch did.
She didn't bring back
the morning star. (pants)
(Avery sobbing)
(Trevor panting)
You little bitch!
(Avery screams)
I will teach you to mess with a servant
of the prince of darkness.
(tense suspenseful music)
No, no, no.
Please!
No, no, Olivia.
Please, no, Trevor.
I didn't agree to this!
(Trevor laughs)
(tense eerie music)
(wheels squeaking)
(tense suspenseful music)
When I get back, we're
gonna do this again.
I've got some fresh blood now. (panting)
(tense eerie music)
(wheels squeaking)
Avery, are you okay?
I'm so cold.
Tell me everything.
There's nothing to
say, Lilly, (indistinct).
[Lilly] What did you see?
I don't know.
(tense suspenseful music)
What is he talking about?
I don't think I was
supposed to come back alive.
He's never going to let us go.
I can't believe Olivia is gone.
We need to get her a body away from him.
We need to get her out of here.
Oh, now you care.
Now you care about Olivia?
Now you think we should
listen to what he says?
This wasn't part of the plan.
I didn't know that was gonna happen.
Okay, Lilly, we just
have to get outta here.
Maybe if I can get to the table-
No, I'll handle it.
I caused this, I need to fix this
and I'm going to.
(Avery shushing)
I think he's coming.
Just let me handle this.
(tense eerie music)
Okay, all right,
let's do this one more time.
I have a plan,
and we need to talk alone!
(tense suspenseful music)
(Avery sobs)
Let's go.
You stay.
(tense eerie music)
(footsteps swooshing)
So, doc, what if Avery
wasn't mentally fit
to get the inheritance?
What if she wasn't sound of mind?
Lilly, this is a serious matter.
We can't manipulate circumstances
just to deny your sister
what is rightfully hers.
I could do a lot more with
the money than she could.
I could take care of her.
She's always been the responsible one.
And now could be my time to shine.
Lilly, if we were to explore this,
we'd have to do it discreetly
and within the boundaries of the law.
I knew you'd see it my way, doc.
I need your commitment, Lilly.
If we're to proceed with this,
you must follow my
guidance without question.
Deal.
What's the plan?
We'd have to come up with a narrative.
One that questions the
stability of Avery's mind.
But it always must appear genuine.
Do you understand?
This is gonna be perfect.
Oh, but, Lilly, there's more.
I have this unique approach,
a technique that requires
your utmost trust.
What kind of technique?
It involves a herbal
tea, a special herbal tea.
It's the Mandragora root.
And this will help unhinge Avery's mind.
Just a small amount,
but she can't be aware
of the circumstances.
But she's my sister.
This is the only way, Lilly,
I could lose my medical license over this.
We could always clear the
Mandragora out of her system
if we go a little too far with this.
But this is gonna go seemingly beautiful.
And once Avery is deemed unfit,
the whole inheritance will be yours.
All right, doc, let's do it.
(clock ticks)
(traffic swooshing)
(suspenseful music)
Sit.
(thunder roars)
Look, I'm sorry,
I didn't know she wasn't
going to obey you.
If I knew about the rewards before,
maybe I could have convinced her
to do the right thing.
You serious?
You said the dark Lord
would give us rewards,
money, power.
Can I see the black book?
You know when you, you
first started talking to me
about this concerning your sister,
I was pretty skeptical.
You never stopped surprising me, Lilly,
Just like Lilith in the book of Enoch.
(blood squishing)
(Trevor whimpering)
(hammer taps)
(suspenseful music)
(both groaning)
Now it's your turn to calm down.
(Trevor groaning)
Don't keep the devil waiting.
(suspenseful music)
(clock ticks)
(tense suspenseful music)
Avery, I'm so sorry.
I am really sorry.
I helped Trevor make you crazy,
so you wouldn't give all
of our money to the church.
And he used me.
And I used your pure heart,
and I took advantage of you.
But now I'm gonna get you out of here.
(alarm beeping)
(melancholic music)
(indistinct chatter)
(melancholic music continues)
(suspenseful music)
(indistinct whispers)
(wheels squeaking)
(suspenseful music continues)
(uplifting music)
"Avery, I know Trevor has you."
You and Lilly are the sisters I never had.
I know you don't belong in that place.
That Trevor's just making you seem crazy.
I won't let you die in there.
"I'm coming to get you out,
your best friend, Olivia."
[Lilly] I hope you can
find it in your heart
to forgive me.
[Avery] To forgive as
the Lord forgave you.
[Lilly] I love you.
We still have time
(eerie suspenseful music)
(chilling whispers)
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
I swear that you'll get your turn
You'll get just what you deserve
Using all those fighting words
Burning on your tongue like poison
You lie, you steal, you cheat
You walk all over me
You can run but you can't hide
Tell me your sorry, well nice try
Don't say I didn't warn you about it
Don't act like there's
another way around it
Messed with the wrong chick
And payback is a bitch
You stabbed me in the back
Now I'm com in for you
Retribution
I'm keeping track in my mind
Planning and taking my time
Revenge is com in for your crimes
Didn't leave me many choices
I've always known that we
Make perfect enemies
You can run but you can't hide
Tell me you're sorry, well nice try
Don't say I didn't warn you about it
Don't act like there's
another way around it
Messed with the wrong chick
And payback is a bitch
You stabbed me in the back
Now I'm com in for you
Retribution
You got a dark soul
with zero redemption
Yeah, you're stone cold
with malicious intentions
Maybe we were best friends
in a different dimension
But here you gotta
face the consequences
You got a dark soul
with zero redemption
Yeah, you're stone cold
with malicious intentions
Maybe we were best friends
in a different dimension
But here you gotta
face the retribution
Retribution
Don't say I didn't warn you about it
Don't act like there's
another way around it
Messed with the wrong chick
And payback is a bitch
You stabbed me in the back
Now I'm com in for you
Retribution
You stabbed me in the back
Now I'm com in for you
Retribution
You stabbed me in the back
Now I'm com in for you
Retribution
