In the beginning three were created...
Man, made of clay.
Angels, made of light.
And a third... made of fire...
called the "Jinn."
Created with free will, this third race ruled the world for thousands of years.
When man was given dominion over the earth,
a sect of Jinn, known as the Shayateen, became resentful...
believing the sons of Adam were nothing more than savages.
For centuries, these Shayateen have been lying in wait.
But there are a few, who've been watching....
Guardians, who have sworn their bloodlines to protect man, and all that is good...
and ensure that darkness never overtakes this world.
Man has all but forgotten the Jinn ever existed.
It is time for him to remember.
Jehangir!
I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the accursed one....
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Your God has left you to this, clay man!
Listen to my words:
I'll hunt down your children, one by one,
generation after generation,
and murder them, in your name!
Hi, package for Mr. Amin.
Oh, no, um... you've got the wrong address. This is the Walker residence.
That's right, Walker, sorry. It's been a really long day.
No signature required.
OK, uh... thank you!
- I think you got a birthday present. - It's not my birthday!
Someone thinks it is and it's so pretty!
- Who in the world wrapped this? - There's no name, there's no address.
Come to think of it, I didn't actually have to sign for it, either.
- Oh, Great. - Very strange.
Huh!
OK, this is bizarre. I mean, a VHS?
What if it's a dirty video?
We sold our VCR. How are we supposed to watch it?
- I have a VCR in my office. - Of course you do.
No! No-no-no-no-no, not again! Oh, dinner!
Oh. Oh, no.
- You are not allowed to laugh at me, at all. - OK, I'm sorry.
Look, let me just take you out to dinner. Come on, you look beautiful tonight.
Please, let me just show you off, tonight.
How have I done this again? OK, I-I can fix this.
Oh... yeah, that thing's been there for the past two days.
It is kind of creeping me out. But I think it's just one of those cardboard cutout things.
Shawn?
Did you hear me, baby?
Hello?
Honey?
Oh, baby, you OK?
It's OK, you're safe.
I saw my old house burning.
I heard my mother.
Who's there?
Gabriel.
Thank God!
- I thought they'd come early tonight. - Package has been delivered.
- Thank you, Gabriel. - No need for thanks, Ali.
He's important to all of us.
You're right. Let's pray... he believes it.
So Jas, get this. With all the orders we got for the Firebreather this week...
George said I can design the Firebreather 2.
And the best part...
he's giving me that raise.
Oh, I like George.
So, uh...
You know that conversation we had last week.
I...
I think we're ready, honey.
I think it's time.
Jas.
Hey, honey?
Jas?
Hey.
- Baby, you OK? - Yeah. Yeah, I'm OK.
What's wrong?
I have something I wanted to tell you, but...
I just didn't know how.
OK, well, whatever it is... we'll work it out, we'll get through it. We always do.
I can't have kids, Shawn.
What are you talking about?
I mean it's impossible. I can't have kids.
How long have you known?
Awhile.
I know I should've told you, but...
I was afraid that if you knew...
that you wouldn't want to be with me.
Oh, I didn't want to lie to you.
Shawn!
If you're watching this right now, it means we haven't seen each other in a very long time.
I'm so sorry about that...
because it means you grew up just like I did... without your father.
But I don't have that much time, and I need you to listen to me, very carefully.
Everything I have done and everything I'm about to do,
I did to protect you and your mother. Always remember that.
Strange things are gonna start happening to you.
Just like they happened to me.
There are things out there, Shawn... I didn't even know existed.
But they are real.
And they can be very evil.
If this tape has found you...
it means you have friends.
Find them.
Learn everything you need to learn and get stronger.
You have it in your blood, Shawn, just like I do.
But if you're watching this right now,
it means I wasn't strong enough.
But maybe you are.
That's you.
Hey, buddy, how ya doin? Can I have your toy?
Thank you.
I love you, too.
I gave this to you for your last birthday.
I love you so much, Shawn...
and I don't even know if you remember my face...
or if you remember who I am.
But this is your father speaking, Shawn.
And I'm telling you... to fight it.
Fight it until you can't fight it anymore.
For all the ones I missed...
Happy Birthday, Shawn.
And good luck.
Hey, honey, it's me.
I just watched the video and, uh....
I gotta talk to you.
I'm sorry.
About earl-just call me back, OK? OK.
Jasmine!
Jas! Honey, can you hear me? Sweetie, pick up the phone!
Jas! Jas, where are you, baby!? Honey!?
Jas, are you here? Sweetheart! Jas!
911, what's your emergency?
Yes, my wife is missing. My house has been ransacked. I-I-I need an officer here, now! Please!
Alright, just so we're clear... there isn't actually anything missing.
And you last saw your wife a few hours ago?
And this fight you had, it was not physical, right?
I was upset. She was crying. I left.
Hey, is this your wife?
Oh, my God.
Shawn!
Jasmine.
I thought something happened to you, I... I kept calling you.
I'm s-I was... I went for a walk.
I just came home, you weren't here, I-I saw this, I-I freaked out.
- I'm so sorry, gentlemen, my... - It's not a problem.
It was probably just a couple of drunk frat boys.
- Nothing to worry about, OK? - OK.
Alright, you folks have a good night.
Thanks.
- You OK? - Yeah, but...
- did I leave the door open? - No.
No, it was locked. They said it was locked. There was no forced entry. I don't know.
I don't know.
- Hey. - Hey.
- You on call tonight? - Yeah, my thoughts, exactly.
Come here. Come sit for a sec.
Shawn, you know I love you more than anything in this world.
- I love you, too, babe. - And...
and your happiness is my happiness.
OK, so...
even if that means...
that... you're... happy with somebody else...
- Jas... - No, Shawn... you want a family!
That's OK.
You know, I...
I wouldn't want to take that away from you.
So... I'm...
- I'm totally prepared to let you go, I... - I love you.
- I know. - Always.
You.
And only you.
I'm sorry.
Jas!
- Jas!! - Baby?
Come here.
- Come here. - Are you OK?
Look.
I came in to get orange juice. I do... I don't know what's going on, baby.
I don't know what's going on. We put this all back! We put it all back!
- Shawn? - Huh?
Whoa!
Come on. Come on. Grab your stuff! Let's get out of here!
Hello?
Are you safe?
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! Who is this?
Get to the cathedral on Long Lake Road.
- Who is this? - You're out of time. Get there, now!!
- Shawn. - Yeah.
My name is Gabriel.
Jasmine.
Don't be afraid. You're safe within these walls. They can't get to you here.
Wait. What? What can't get to us here?
How do you know who we are?
Can you please tell me what the hell is going on?
Watch your language, in my church, please.
The Big Guy gets pissed.
OK, can somebody tell us what's going on, please?
- You watched the tapes, didn't you? - Yeah. Wait, how do you know about that?
I was the one holding them for you, all these years.
- OK. Yeah, well-well, I don't believe it. OK? - Then why are you here?
- I don't know. - Yes, you do.
Your instincts brought you here. We can't help you, unless you believe.
Believe in what?
You need to know what you're fighting... before you can fight back.
OK, how did you do that?
Jas, tell me how most people would explain what just happened?
Magic. That was a simple magic trick.
- A ghost, I don't know. - Ghost?
Ghosts, demons, poltergeist... they don't exist.
It's something else. The one solitary answer to everything you cannot explain.
You see...
in the beginning... three were created.
Man, made of clay.
Angels, made of light...
and a third, made of fire... called the Jinn.
That's what's coming for you.
Is he serious? I'm sorry. Come-come on. This is crazy.
OK. So, if these things are real, then, how come we've never even heard of them?
- Have you read the Torah, Shawn? - Or, as some people call it...
the Old Testament. From the Prophet Ezekiel.
"And out of the midst of fire, came four living creatures, with the likeness of man."
"Their appearance was like burning coals of fire, at the center of which, looked like molten metal."
"And the living creatures moved with the appearance of a flash of lightning."
They've been around for a long time.
The Jinn were here first... and some of them want the world back.
They're jealous... of our imaginations.
Of our incredible capacity to create.
Why are they after us?
Within the Jinn, there is a prophecy. Very few of us knew about it, but your great grandfather did.
You are a part of their prophecy... and they're afraid of you.
These guys are crazy, Shawn. Come on, let's go.
Shawn, we can help you fight this. You're gonna have to listen to us.
Yeah, well...
This isn't exactly the type of help we were looking for.
Wait.
Here.
If you get into trouble... use it.
OK, great. Thank you. She could, uh... she can cut her tomatoes with it.
Remem-remember, remember, you are safe, within the walls, of any house of God.
OK, thank you.
Ask the Walkers about Father Westhoff.
- What did you just say? - Ask the Walkers about me.
Ma! Dad, it's Shawn, open up!
Your father...
he passed away a long time ago, Shawn.
That tape was made 25 years ago.
But he's saying stuff that doesn't make any sense.
Then we went and met up with these two guys...
They're telling us we're in grave danger and a bunch of other crazy shit I've never even heard of.
Shawn, honey, I don't understand. What are you-what are you talking about, here?
Weird stuff is happening to us mom, and I...
I don't know if it's a prank, whether or not to believe these guys.
- What weird stuff? - Our house was vandalized.
What?
There's this thing looking at us from another apartment.
This tape comes out of nowhere and then these guys are telling us it's all real and...
- something's after us. - What? W-what's after you?
I don't know, a... a Jinn.
What?
- You know what that is? - No.
But, th-th-the priest who arranged for us to adopt you, he...
he made us promise that you'd always wear your necklace,
and there was-there was something about a-a-a verse and-and the Jinn. I don't know, I...
I always thought it was a good luck charm, or something.
- OK, what was his name? - Westhoff.
Father Westhoff.
Shawn! Please, don't go!
Baby, my father told me to find the people that can help me.
If what they're saying is true, then I don't have much time. We can't keep talking about this.
But we can run! Baby, we can hide!
- I'm not the type to hide. You know that. - Shawn!
Please... don't leave me.
I am never... gonna leave you.
I love you.
I know.
Jasmine!
Jasmine.
We're missing something, something big.
I know. We can't keep him against his will.
It's supposed to come when a child is born.
It's not what I expected. Maybe it just wants to end the bloodline, once and for all.
Well, it proves that Jehangir's line, wasn't the one prophecied.
- You and I have been wrong, all these years. - We're not wrong, Gabriel.
If he doesn't believe, he's gonna die.
The sons of Adam will fall. The Jinn will rise...
and this world will be ours, once again.
No matter what you're hiding, you will not stop me.
You don't need to die.
You said they would... fear me.
It didn't seem afraid.
They're afraid of what you can become.
What do you mean, "What I could become"?
There was a prophecy, recorded in a text, called the "Jinn Scroll".
It was lost a long time ago.
But it said, that in the battle, between man and Jinn,
one shall emerge... more powerful than both...
leading the world into a golden age.
You think it's talking about me?
I do.
Shawn! Shawn where are you?
Shawn! Get out of the house!
Shawn, listen to me. Whatever you hear, you stay out of the house. I love you.
I got him! Get out of the house!
Shawn.
Shawn!
- Good sleep? - Was hoping it was all a dream.
I wish it was... but right now, we're running against the clock.
We need to get some more answers, and there's only one man who can help us.
There's a sect of Jinn called the Shayateen. Worshipers of Satan.
These Shayateen are very powerful.
Even the rest of the Jinn are afraid of them.
If they're so powerful, how can I fight them?
Men of strong will, heart and mind, can sense them.
Stronger men can fight them, and the strongest...
Can destroy them.
But the last one lived a hundred years ago. Jehangir Amin, your great grandfather.
He tried to save a girl who has taken by the same Shayateen that's after you.
- Car's fast. - Oh, yeah.
But can it outrun a Jinn?
- How you doin'? Come to see Ali, in room 413. - Sign here,
- here & here... - Step this way, arms up.
Alright, good.
Gentlemen, why don't you follow me?
Shawn, come on.
It's hard to believe that the one person who can help us find Jasmine is in here.
Well, appearances can be deceiving.
Hey, how'd you do that thing with the pen?
Magnet.
Alright gentlemen... right this way.
Follow me.
Alright, guys, now remember, this one's dangerous.
Spooked up the patients, so we had to put him in solitary.
And we're right up here, on the right.
Just bang the door if you need anything.
He looks just like his father.
Come here.
It's OK.
Sit down.
Look through my eyes.
I will hunt down your children, one by one, generation after generation,
and murder them, in your name!
Clay man.
Shawn. Shawn.
He looks just like his father.
If he doesn't believe, he's gonna die.
- Where'd it come from? - Passed away a long time ago.
But I don't have that much time.
Listen to me, very carefully.
Everything I have done...
I did to protect you and your mother.
There are things out there, Shawn...
and they can be very evil.
You have it in your blood, Shawn, just like I do.
Know I love you more than anything in this world.
I'm Jasmine.
And your happiness is my happiness.
You want a family.
I wouldn't want to take that away from you.
What are you scared of?
Listen... closer.
Do you understand now?
Did you hear the heartbeat?
It came from inside.
They come for you because you have a child.
Some of them you can see, the way I can.
And they come, generation after generation,
looking for the prophecied one.
Killing the father, to wait and see if the son is the one they're looking for.
There are only a few bloodlines in the world who can fulfil the prophecy.
No. That's impossible. She told me she can't have children.
She may not know... but make no mistake.
She carries... your son.
How much more time will you waste?
The boy must take the test! He must pass the Chilla!
What? The test? W-what test?
See what I see.
Feel...
what I feel.
- Where am I? - A memory...
of an ancestor.
- It feels so real. - Because it is... in your mind.
There is more than one dimension, in this world...
and you will need to move between them... in order to pass the Chilla.
So, is this the test?
Do not let fear overtake you.
If you do... you will end up like me.
I failed my Chilla. I let them into my mind.
And they have tormented me, ever since...
because I tried to stop them.
Stop them from doing what?
From coming to you.
Because, Shawn...
I'm a son of Jehangir, too.
I'm your uncle.
- Why didn't anyone tell me? - He didn't want you to see him like this.
He's been here ever since your parents died. Waiting.
Jasmine?
The baby?
Yeah.
You had to come here and feel it for yourself.
So, this Chilla. What if I fail?
You cannot fail.
Oh, my God!
They've been listening.
Run! Get out of here! Both of you! Get the hell out!
They're coming! Run!!!
Run!!!
Come on!
Run! Run! Run!!!
Shawn, look out!
Shawn, get up here with me, now!
Don't stop! Run!
Listen, don't turn back, no matter what you see.
Run! Get to the car, now!
Go!
Shit!
Go!!!!
"For our battle is not against flesh and blood,"
"but against the lords and empires of this age."
"Therefore put on the armor of God,"
"so that when the day of evil comes,"
"you may stand your ground and after all is done..."
"accept."
Father, what was he?
Gabriel is a Jinn.
One of the few that work for humanity.
Who do you think brought you to me, when your parents were killed?
You have two choices.
You can stay protected, within the walls of the church, or you can end this.
- How do I end this? - You are going to find out.
The Chilla can allow you to get close enough to the Shayateen
to exploit their weaknesses.
The Chilla is a window to their world.
You can go where they go, see what they see, do what they do.
Do you have the knife?
Yes.
This blade is made of metal forged in Jinn fire.
One of the few... like the pendant on your necklace.
It doesn't fully exist in our dimension,
but this can cut into theirs.
But, before you can wield it properly...
you will have to pass... the Chilla.
The Chilla is a test.
A physical, mental and spiritual test...
of fear.
Of fears unique to you.
Because they arise from within you.
Your own memories...
your own darkest thoughts.
No one, not even me, can prepare you for what you will face,
but there are some things that can help you.
Please kneel.
Both knees.
You will need Zamzam water.
Holy water from Mecca, that saved the son of Abraham.
Its power is a gift for man, but even diluted, it can harm those made of fire.
To the Shayateen Jinn, it is like poison.
The verse of the Jinn, written or spoken, can weaken them... even trap them.
Once you recite the verse, exactly as I'm going to teach it to you, the Chilla will begin.
And then what?
And they will come.
Find an uninhabited place where your mind can't be tricked.
Do not break your concentration, even for a moment.
They will use everything you fear, to keep you from completing the Chilla.
To the Shayateen Jinn, the weak-minded are just flesh and bone.
But those that achieve a higher understanding...
they are feared.
If you awake from the Chilla, with your mind intact,
you will know what to do next.
Oh, shit...
Oh, shit.
I know you don't want me to do this.
So why not just leave us alone?
I know you don't want me to do this. So why not just leave us alone?
I will never leave you alone.
I will hunt you down, 'til the Day of Judgment.
When this world will be ours... once again!
Run!
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Shawn?
Hello?
Shawn.
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Shawn, no.
Oh, God, please tell me you haven't started. Shawn, baby, I escaped.
Father Westhoff told me where you are. You don't have to do this.
Please, Shawn. They are way too strong for you.
Oh, my God.
Something's coming.
Baby! Look at me!
Look into my eyes. This is not a test.
Please, look at me!
Oh, they're coming! Please, Shawn, they're gonna kill us!
Help me...
Shawn, look what they've done to me.
Look at me!
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
You're a coward.
Just like your father.
Look at what you've done to your child.
Look at it!
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you?
Everyone you love is gone.
And, just as in the beginning...
there is only me.
I've always been there.
Always known what you can become.
We can offer you so much more.
You could be a king...
with a thousand heirs...
from a thousand Jasmines. Hm?
I only want one.
Mine.
Now where is she?
There's a war coming, Shawn.
Neither man, nor Jinn, can stop it.
Maybe not.
But I only want to stop you.
You step out of your circle.
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
You've come to play again.
Oh, no.
Not tonight.
My Chilla ends now.
And tonight...
you all fall.
You will never escape me.
See if you can outrun a Jinn.
I showed you mercy, offered you power.
Now, I give you death!
Come get me.
My Lord, please protect this man.
I will do my part, so You can do Yours.
Come alive and help me baby, come on.
Come on, he's got nothing on us.
Come on, show me some tricks baby, come on!
You want some of me? Come get me.
Come on!
Come on, baby. Come on, baby, hold it together.
Come get me!
This fight... is between your master, and the boy, alone.
I've wielded this against many of you, over the years.
You wanna play?
Let's finish this.
Nice, Westhoff.
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Now, Shawn!
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Shawn, hurry!
Get back!
I'm better than you are! Now, come on! Come on, get me! Come on!
I'm ready!
Shawn.
God protect me from Satan the Damned.
Papa?
Wake up.
Son of Jehangir...
you have made an enemy of one of the Shayateen.
Do not make enemy of us all.
You have power...
but you are no guardian.
Where's my wife?
Where's my wife!?
OK, who's next?
Come on!
Where is she?
Where's my wife?
Where is she?
Jasmine?
Baby?
I can't believe it.
Let me look at you. My good girl.
Hi.
He took her for me, didn't he?
His job is to protect you and your son, no matter what the cost.
If you knew we were hiding her, they would've known.
I love you.
Everything is ready!
- Oh, thank you, uncle, what can I do? - Oh, you're good.
- You're good. - Is this a new recipe?
No actually, an old one. My brother thought me this.
- It's, ah...! It's for later. It's dessert. - Mmm... it's fabulous!
But not as sweet as you, my little...
OK.
You are an angel. Look at you. Come on, look at you, look at you...
Alright, you are gonna have to teach me how to do this.
I don't think that Shawn likes the idea of his ​​mom's cooking.
Hey, honey, I'm learning. You are getting a burnt piece.
My baby angel.
- Let me get that for you. - Oh, I got it.
Uh, daddy's got it. Daddy's got it.
I thought you gave that up, a long time ago.
Coming close to death, it kinda even fits.
Mm.
You could have gone Christian, you know?
Point is... something happened.
There's something wasn't letting me go.
Well, there's nothing strange about that. I see that in my business all the time.
I don't.
You were guarding that boy,
since he was a child, without him ever knowing it.
You think something was guarding you, as well?
Hard to believe.
That's why we call it, "miracles".
It's a good symbol... isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Well, you've earned it, Gabriel.
