Evil

"...as wax melts before the fire,

so the wicked perish

at the presence of God."

"Behold the Cross of the Lord.

Flee, bands of enemies."

"St. Michael the Archangel,

"prince of heavenly armies,

defend us against the spirits of wickedness."

"The Lion

"of the tribe of Judah,

the offspring of David hath conquered."

How am I doing?

Fine. It's only a first session.

The most difficult possession

is diabolical subjugation.

You sold your soul willingly to Satan.

That is not undone simply.

So we have to do this again?

- And again. - How many times?

As long as it takes.

- When is our next session? - In a month.

In the meantime, I'll assign you a spiritual counselor:

someone who can check on you

and keep you from evil influences.

Think of it as a sponsor in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Maybe that should be David, because he knows me so well.

I think that's a good idea.

And then I'll assign you a possession help group.

People who are in the same position

as you.

Oh, that sounds great.

I'm finally seeing light at the...

Thanks for coming to see us.

We'll just tell you the best we can.

This is our son. Wyatt.

He's our only child.

Was our only child.

He went out to the grocery store on September 14th at 4:33.

And he never came back.

- We contacted the police... - You talked to the police?

We call every week.

I think they've gotten sick of us.

They still insist that he's a runaway.

So he's never contacted you again?

We don't think so.

You don't think so?

Well, someone contacted us the next day.

Someone who sounded like our son.

What did he say?

He was screaming.

Uh, but there was too much interference.

We couldn't understand what he said.

He said, "Save me."

We couldn't understand any more.

And, um, he never called us again.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer,

we don't get involved in police cases.

Um, we do...

...assessments, um, for...

possible, um...

We do cases that have some demonic or spiritual component.

- Uh... - Yes.

Usually our colleague David is here to fill you in on this.

Explain. Yeah.

Would you, um, would you come with me, please?

Of course.

This was Wyatt's room.

He loved writing in here.

Doing his homework. He was a good student.

Um, we would really love to help,

but we feel like this is more a matter for the police.

We called the Church last week because

we were cleaning up in here.

Duke thought we had to move on.

We can't keep this as a museum forever.

Oh, I-I'll get that.

So I started cleaning up in here last week.

And, uh, I found this. Yeah.

A pentagram?

That's why we called you.

We took a picture, but the police were uninterested.

Just so you know, our son was never into the occult.

Oh, um, this is David, who we spoke to on the phone.

We think this might have something to do with people

who kidnapped him.

Maybe Satan worshippers...

Can I take a look at his computer?

We don't have his password.

We found some phrase carved into his desk.

But it didn't work.

We've tried capitalizing it all, leaving out all the dashes,

but... none of it made a difference.

Hello.

- Hi, Mom. - Hi.

- Hi, Mom. - How was school?

Like there was this one crash

where just a small baby survived.

- Hey, Mom. - Hmm?

Can you survive a plane crash?

Isn't everybody just dead?

Um, I guess it depends how bad the crash is.

Does it matter if you pray?

I don't think so.

What are you doing?

Um, I'm trying to figure out what "El Game" is.

"El Game," like Spanish?

I don't know.

Is this about your work? Are there, like,

ghosts or something?

"8-4-2-13-1."

- What is this? - Let me see.

I don't know. It could be someone's computer password.

I can't find anything online.

Oh, it-it's the Elevator Game.

- What? - Oh, I bet you're right.

Those are the floors you have to take.

I heard people die from that.

Wait, what is the Elevator Game?

It-It's a Japanese game. Look.

How do you know all this?

It's part of our education, Mom. We're growing up.

No, you're not!

Hi. Welcome to the instructions

to the Elevator Game.

If you're brave and you want to chance it,

this is what you'll need.

A building with at least 13 floors.

And an elevator that is empty.

- Get on the elevator. - Is this your case, Mom?

So, what's the goal of this game?

- To end up in hell. - What?

- Shh! Just watch the video. - Instead, push the button

for the fourth floor. When you arrive,

again, don't get off, but when the doors start to close,

put your arm out and stop them from closing all the way.

I heard that's the most important part.

Push the button for the second floor.

Don't get off. Instead,

push the button for the 13th floor, and at the same time,

hold in the emergency call button.

No, that's the most important part.

When you arrive at the 13th,

you'll see a strange woman get on.

Don't look at her. Don't meet her eyes.

If you meet her eyes, you'll never be able to leave hell.

Now, with the other woman beside you,

push the button for the first floor.

An alarm will sound, and you will next find yourself

in the nether region.

It will be dark, and in the distance

you'll see a red cross.

Get out. Look around.

Don't stay longer than 12 minutes.

If you do, you will be haunted.

In fact, if you do any part of this game wrong,

you will be haunted.

Okay. I'll just watch this later...

No, no, no! Mom, Mom. Come on.

Mom, you can't start something and not finish it.

Many have asked: in what way am I haunted?

There are many disagreements about this,

but most believe you will be haunted by all the souls

of whoever died in the building.

Okay, no, we need to try this now.

Never look the woman in white in the eye.

And never, ever

interrupt the game in the middle.

If you are so unfortunate to be haunted,

paint this somewhere in your room.

The woman in white sounds really cool.

Bet there's a lot of haunted people out there.

I bet she's killed so many people.

- Maybe we should get this. - Yeah.

Can we just do it, like, anywhere?

This is Mom's job. Come on.

You know you want to try this. Come on.

- Maybe. - I know it,

you know it, we all know it.

Okay, Ben, yeah.

I'll meet you there in 20. Great. Bye.

What are you guys doing? You look like

- the Children of the Corn here. - Ow.

We're going.

No, you're not. This is work.

That's why we're getting involved.

Elevator Game!

Elevator Game! Elevator Game!

Elevator Game!

Lynn, you watch the girls, I'll pay you to babysit.

Oh, I-I wish I felt up to it.

Mom, I'm just afraid I'm too young.

Lexis, you've got your math tutor in ten minutes.

But we don't, Mom. We can still go.

That's not fair. Mom!

Hey, we're just smarter than you.

Okay, stop it.

I promise I'll take you next time, okay?

Let's go! Whoo!

See ya, wouldn't want to be ya!

Bye!
