The Unsettling (2019) s01e08 Episode Script
Holy of All
Previously on "The Unsettling" - Stay ahead in that direction.
- And you be careful out here.
I found Sarah's phone under Fia's bed.
I'm not gonna be a part of some doomsday ritual.
I'm taking Dominic.
We have to go right now.
The worshipers of New Purity sacrificing their own children.
That's us.
You should've never strayed from the hand.
Just as my family restored purity and light to this land 75 years ago, we will, too.
- Time to come downstairs, Dominic.
- Can you see it, too? There's nothing there.
In a few short hours, everything's gonna be okay again.
The land will be healthy, and we can start anew.
You and me.
- And Dad? - Yeah, your father, too.
Now, pack up a few special things.
We're gonna be leaving soon.
They can't just burn four kids and think nobody will notice.
We were all chosen for a reason.
We'd be invisible if we disappeared.
- I don't wanna die.
- Hell no! We are not dying.
I spent too much time taking practice SAT tests for it to end like this.
I worked my ass off to get into a decent college, too.
Nothing fancy.
I just wanted to live in the dorm and stock the mini fridge the way I wanted to.
Make my own rules.
I know.
Wouldn't that be nice? I never thought too far ahead for fear of getting disappointed.
If we don't make it out of here, I have a confession to make.
When I ran away I left my younger cousin alone with my uncle.
- She wouldn't come with me.
- You had to take care of yourself.
A week before Sarah disappeared, she came to me She wanted to get out of the house.
If I hadn't convinced her to stay, she might be alive, too.
We've all done things we regret.
Does Mommy look pretty? 911, what's your emergency? My mommy needs help.
Mama! Becca! I'm your mother! I'm your mom! Mama! Mommy, I'm sorry! - It was my fault.
- What was? I'm the one who called 911.
I'm the reason my mom was committed.
If I hadn't called, she never would've gone to that psych ward, and she might have never She would still be alive.
- You can't blame yourself.
- You were just a kid.
- I put her in there.
- But it wasn't your fault.
As long as we're all getting things off our chest you guys are the closest thing I've ever had to a brother and sisters.
I should've said it sooner.
I feel the same way.
We can't give up.
No, no, no.
My zip ties are way too tight, but do can you slip out of yours? - Becca, I need your help.
- What are you talking about? - I need you to break my thumb.
- I'm sorry, what? The bone and tendon are too tight to get through.
You have to snap it.
The kids I used to know did it to get out of handcuffs.
- You have to do this.
- I'll scream, just do it quick.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
- There's a toolbox up there.
- Where? Okay, come on.
Damn it.
Only the fire can bring back the water.
Only the hand will cleanse this land of evil.
- Only the hand.
- Holy of one.
Holy of all.
- Now the ritual can begin.
- Lorraine, collect the rags.
Run to the sink in the kitchen and douse each one, and spread them around to make sure that no plank remains uncharred.
This will be a day of great celebration.
Remembering the past while we embrace the future.
Hello! Fire department! Ma'am, Sir, Firefighter Gutierrez, El Dorado Fire Rescue Station 3.
Ma'am, Sir, I can see you.
Please come to the door! There's a mandatory evacuation in effect.
Guys, someone's at the door.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
They're on the porch.
Grab a few things, get everyone out of the house.
Thank you for making the trip.
The fire's about 5 miles from Crow Ridge, you have about 5 and half to 6 to get out.
- Yes, we will.
- Perfect.
Help! Help! We're in the basement! Help! I'm sorry, what was that? We put our dogs in the basement while we were packing a few things.
Mind if I come in for a quick look? Doesn't sound like dogs.
Just getting a few things.
Hello! The fire department! Help us! We're in the basement! I can hear you He's dead.
No one is coming for you.
- You won't fit through that window.
- It's worth a try.
Guys, I think there's something behind the washing machine.
Once Crow Ridge is free from this curse, New Purity will finally be able to grow and prosper.
Yes.
This loss is for the greater good.
Dominic, sweetie What you saw back there, it had to be done.
That fireman was evil.
You trust me, right? Where's Dad? Everything that was done was done to protect you.
To protect us.
Dominic! What are you doing? - You must forget about them.
- They're my brothers and sisters.
We are your family, Dominic.
Your mom, Ryan, Lorraine, me.
You must trust the hand, my child.
Now step away from the door.
O, my god! Those were the bones I was talking about.
I saw those in the old basement.
Maybe this tunnel can get us out.
I don't want them to hurt you.
You have to go.
We're not leaving without you.
Come on.
The keys! - We have to go back for them! - You're not going anywhere.
Get your little asses back into the house! They need all four of us alive for the murder ritual.
No! No! Sarah? It is It is her.
You better Come on, come on.
Dominic? Baby, where are you? I brought you kids into my home, fed you, clothed you, put a roof over your head, and this is how you thank me? Enough of this, Dominic.
Come now! I didn't have a choice.
Sarah found out what we were planning and your father did, too.
It wasn't just to satisfy the hand, Dominic.
It was for you, too! Your brothers and sisters were brought here to keep you alive.
We needed four.
It's what the prophecy demanded, so you wouldn't be the one that had to be sacrificed.
You were my only true child, Dominic.
All the rest were just tinder for the pyre.
Get out here now! Becca! It's too late.
You've shot Dominic.
He's dead.
Just please let us go.
Dead or alive, you will burn.
Stop, no! - Mom, please, don't shoot her.
- Dominic - This can't protect you now! - You little bitch! We're safe now.
You too.
It's okay.
What's gonna happen to me? I don't know, but you'll always have us.
We're your family now.
Becca, how did you know the ghost was gonna kill Fia? Because Sarah was never trying to hurt any of us.
She was protecting us all along.
Was that It's rain.
Probably won't last.
It's a start.
- Mom, can I go see my room? - It's upstairs.
- And you be careful out here.
I found Sarah's phone under Fia's bed.
