Come.
Don't move.
Perfect
Thanks. Stay still.
Jimmy, don't wander off.
Mark, go and see what's wrong with Jimmy.
Fuck! Can't you hear your son crying?
What's wrong? Hey, little flower.
Why are you crying?
Hello, brother.
Where did you come from?
We haven't seen another soul for miles around here.
I've been walking for a long time. My feet are bleeding.
I'm hungry and thirsty. Can I ask you for some water?
My name's Damon, it's great to meet you.
Perhaps you already know my name, but what you still don't know...
is the real nature of my game.
The Rolling Stones, 'Sympathy for the Devil', don't you know it, guys?
Do you want to eat with us?
It's a dish I invented,
ginger and stewed peppers.
So you're crazy about The Rolling Stones.
Few people really understand their music.
When you've understood their messages
you can grasp their deeper meaning.
You can achieve awareness.
Look, Lucifer. Look!
This is all for you.
The flames burn, and light our fire.
Here!
Damon!
Cover your tracks. Tomorrow I leave for Europe.
Then bring this message to the old continent.
Tell them there are many of us, in many cities, we're the faceless ones.
In the name of Satan, tell our brothers we are ready.
We can work miracles. You've seen them as well.
You must have patience, Damon.
It's not yet time for the great event.
When, then?
When?
Many years must still pass.
No! Let go of me!
Please! Please don't hurt me!
- I haven't seen anything! - You haven't seen anything?
It was wonderful, you missed a great show.
We've sacrificed your children, your friends.
Now we'll sacrifice you.
Scream! Scream for your life!
I forgot the milk. I won't be long.
There's no need. I'll get some later.
- Why did you do it? - I never said anything.
- I never talked. - You know the rules.
Christ!
- Don't move! - It's not my fault, it was them!
They wanted me to do it.
Traitors must pay! It's fair to rip their heart off
Stay still.
You don't get it, I'm already a prisoner.
I'm just a pawn, they control my mind.
I had to do it. I had to!
I got to do it!
It's time.
The moment has finally come.
The latest killing which happened yesterday...
in one of the most populated areas of Frankfurt...
has all the hallmarks of a macabre ritual by a satanic sect.
The victim, Marion Crane, 21, was brutally murdered...
by a man who later killed himself as police were trying to arrest him.
The killer was Martin Romero, a highly respected, quiet, family man.
So what triggered this frenzied attack?
The investigation into this brutal murder is being headed by Jonathan Ford.
The judge, who has declared war on all the satanic sects in the country...
has his own theories. But let's ask him.
There are many elements which suggest this is the work of a satanic sect.
These sects have nothing to do with folklore, as many would like to believe.
They're a frightening reality. A reality of everyday life.
Many unsolved murders involve macabre rituals carried out by these sects.
From New York to London, from Turin to Lyon...
to Prague, and all over the world...
they believe they can obtain power, money, and immortality...
dedicating their lives to devil worship.
Unfortunately, many of the victims of these sacrificial rituals...
are the innocent, often young women, sometimes even children.
We are interested in the increasing numbers the members of these sects.
The notorious Faceless Sect operating in the US during the 70's...
Mister, do you need help?
No!
Don't touch it.
Leave me alone.
- I can take care of myself. - Whatever you say.
My god!
I don't feel anything.
I didn't hit him, I braked immediately. I didn't even touch him.
Where's my parcel?
- You shouldn't move. - Don't touch me.
I breathe better standing up.
- It's okay, I'm fine. - The hospital isn't far, I'll take you.
My parcel. Give me that parcel.
No, not the hospital, no doctors.
I just need to rest a little before continuing on my journey.
- But if you... - No, I was on my way home.
- Do you live nearby? - Yes, a few miles outside the city.
I only work mornings and I've got nothing else to do now...
Listen, you can stay with me for a couple of hours.
- It's the least I can do. - You're very kind, Miriam.
I was really scared back there.
For a moment I thought I couldn't avoid you.
- Did you, Miriam? - Sure I missed you, by a millimetre.
Just a millimetre.
How do you know my name? I don't remember telling you.
No, you didn't tell me.
I keep telling myself not to drive fast.
- You were only ten years old. - Have I changed much?
You've learnt to smile.
Here we are.
Excuse the mess, I'm terrible at housekeeping.
I keep putting everything off till tomorrow.
I'll clean the room tomorrow. I'll do the laundry tomorrow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow...
And then I never get anything done.
Much time has passed. How strange.
You've been here before?
These small country houses are all the same.
They even smell the same.
I've lived in a house like this before.
I just need to see one like it and straight away...
The memories. That's what remains.
They're our bread and our poison.
No, please, the sun bothers me.
Sit down.
I'll call doctor Pernath if you want. If she isn't at the hospital.
She only lives a few blocks away.
No, doctors tire me. I just want to rest a little.
I've travelled far. I still have far to travel.
I hope you'll accept a tea at least.
I'll make you one right away.
Stop it, you.
He's always doing it. Trying to hide from me.
He's completely crazy.
- Do you live alone here? - Just with him, and with my fish.
Do you like him?
Hey, little rabbit.
You're embarrassing me in front of our guest.
Have you had him long? What's his name?
He doesn't have one. We have an equal relationship.
He can't call me, so I don't call him.
Don't you like animals?
Don't worry, he'll be gone soon.
Your children must really love you.
I don't have any children.
Those?
I teach.
You don't seem very sure of the love of your children.
You gave them this theme, 'My Teacher'.
If you were sure, you wouldn't have chosen a theme like this.
No, no...
You're not ready.
You're psychologically unstable, and most of all, you shouldn't drive.
Maybe you're right. I don't know.
I spent my entire childhood in boarding schools.
You didn't live with your parents?
I never knew them.
The Rolling Stones.
Some people thought their music was so deep.
Esoteric.
- A long time ago. - Are you interested in music?
No.
Religion, if you can call it that.
Very interesting.
Religion helps to live a better life, right?
It helps you die.
Aren't you afraid of death?
I don't know.
To be honest, I don't think about it.
Maybe I'm more afraid of life.
- What do you want from life? - Nothing special.
- What I have is enough. - You're wrong.
You must ask for everything in life otherwise you won't get anything.
Have you managed to get everything you want?
I'm almost there.
That's why I don't want to die.
Not yet.
I don't feel safe here.
The house faces east.
No, don't touch me. I can manage.
The houses facing north are the houses of life.
The houses facing south...
...are the houses of death.
Can you take me back to the bus stop?
Yes, sure.
Just a moment.
Hello?
Hi, Catherine.
Yes, sure, but I can't right now.
Yes, I've got company.
No, I'll explain later.
No, it's not Prince Charming. What are you talking about?
No, leave me alone now, I can't tonight.
Don't worry, I'll tell you everything at school tomorrow.
Goodbye, Catherine.
We can go right now, if you like?
You don't like the old man, do you? Me neither.
No, I'm sure he's a good man. But you never know.
It's time for bed.
Do you mind sleeping with a human being?
No? I know, you prefer your house, you're right.
You never know.
And how did you get out?
Oh my god!
What's wrong?
I'll call a doctor!
My god!
No, don't do that! Try to hold on!
I've got to get you out of here!
Can you hear me? Make a sign.
I'm going to look for a doctor, I won't be long.
Please hold on!
It's ice cold! You can't die!
You said so yourself, you can't die yet!
Doctor Pernath! Wake up, it's an emergency!
It's Miriam Kreisl! It's urgent!
Doctor, come down, quickly!
There's no point shouting, my aunt isn't here.
She had to go to the hospital for an urgent operation.
What do I do, then? There's an old man at my house who's dying!
- Are you sure? - No, I'm joking.
Idiot.
Wait.
I'm a doctor as well. I graduated in Frankfurt.
My name's Franz Benat, I'm staying with my aunt...
Please
Come.
He was here, I left him lying on the rug.
It's a good sign, maybe he went for a walk.
- There's a rabbit here. - And?
- I hate rabbits. - Cut it out, no one hates rabbits.
- I'm allergic to them. - Where's that light coming from?
- The rabbit must have turned it on. - You're not here to treat the rabbit.
Okay, I'm sorry. I just can't stand them.
I didn't know there was a passage here.
- I've never seen it before. - You don't know your own home.
I've only been renting it for a year.
My god!
No, don't touch him. I'll do it.
He's dead, I'm sorry.
- He told me he didn't want to die. - I wouldn't be so sure.
Look at this.
I'd say he's tried to kill himself at least once recently.
And this time he might have been successful.
- Was he a relative? - No, I don't even know his name.
- What are you doing? - He must have some identification.
No wallet, no money.
A ticket.
All I know is he was going on a long trip.
Not so far.
He was coming here.
- Well he isn't going anywhere now. - No, don't do that.
- I don't want to see his face. - Then close your eyes.
Wait!
- What do we do now? - Simple.
We'll call the hospital and ask for an ambulance.
I'm sure they won't take long.
Don't worry, they'll be here in minutes.
What is that?
- Here already? - Where's the patient?
Down in the basement, he's dead. I'm Franz Pernath, the doctor's nephew.
Who told them?
It must have been the old man. Maybe it was the last thing he did.
Why did he go down there?
Perhaps he was allergic to rabbits as well.
Very funny.
I'll stay and keep you company, if you like?
No, no... Thank you.
Okay, I'll go with them so I can prepare the death certificate.
Take this pill.
In case you can't sleep.
Thank you.
Do you want me to call you tomorrow?
I don't know.
I was thinking, I'd like to see you again.
I haven't been here long and we could...
That's very nice of you.
- Okay, goodbye. - Wait.
Yes?
I wanted to tell you that...
No, nothing. Bye.
Goodnight.
Still awake?
Hey rabbit...
Rabbit!
Come on, please.
Come here!
Come on, I've had enough.
That's enough. It's been a long night.
Stop, what are you doing here?
Stop!
Who are you? How did you get in?
I'm going. I'm not bad.
I'm cold. I'm hungry.
What have you got there? Show me!
I have to go now.
Give it to me!
- Let go of it! - No! Don't break it!
Be careful!
Stop! Wait!
Don't run away! Come back!
Please stop!
The Faceless Sect was inspired by one of the most eminent scholars...
of black magic, and Satanism, Moebius Kelly...
who disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 1979.
He's thought to have died in an explosion on a flight heading for London.
Indeed, his name was on the passenger list.
Even though many people claim to have seen him in various European cities.
Okay, children, now we've finished the masks.
Now I want each one of you to tell me the sound of the animal you've drawn.
What does the cat do, Betty?
Very good.
- Who snipped Pierino the Porcupine? - It was her!
Now we'll all sing the animal song.
The lion.
Roars. The mouse?
Squeaks.
The snake?
Samantha. Your mother's here.
What animal is this? Did you invent it?
No, my mother draws them all the time.
Mummy!
After what you went through a headache is the least of your worries.
You don't bring strangers back to your house.
Not unless he's handsome, intelligent, sexy, and understanding.
And has an endless bank account.
And most of all, he promises he won't marry you.
I almost ran him over. And besides...
I took pity on him just because he was old.
He seemed like someone I'd met before.
I certainly wouldn't have taken him home with me if he was young.
You know why I like you so much? Because we're so different.
Although I was like you, I was always waiting for the love of my life.
But no one seemed good enough for me.
So, because I always said no, I found myself alone.
Don't play the victim, it was your choice, you like being alone.
Is it my fault there aren't any educated men out there?
Samantha, what happened?
- Mummy's gone! - But I saw her, she said hello.
We've called her home, they told us her mother came to collect her.
She did, I saw her from the window.
She probably just went to buy something.
I'll take you home, okay?
- Have you notified her father? - Yes, we've notified him.
Don't worry.
Daddy!
Samantha!
Daddy!
- Someone like him would be perfect. - Will you stop it?
Mr Heinz.
I called everywhere. No one's seen her.
I saw her five minutes before the end of the lesson.
Yes, it's true, I saw her as well.
I'm calling the police.
He's been talking to them for a quarter of an hour.
What on earth is he telling them?
I would have at least waited until tonight
Don't you think he's over dramatising it a bit?
Look at the trees this year.
There's so much pollen!
It looks almost like snow.
Right, Miriam?
Now the girl's getting involved as well.
This way.
Did your mother draw them?
Clare's doing some research on Arctic fossils.
That insect is one of her latest discoveries.
And I complain about the cockroaches around my house.
- If I found one of those... - Not easy.
They've been extinct for over ten million years.
They have a deep religious meaning.
They're a symbol of fertility and evil.
Clare still hasn't published her notes. Did she tell you?
Quick, get some water.
- Poor thing. - What's wrong with her?
Drink!
You'll feel better.
You started getting excited about those horrible insects.
Like you'd been studying them for years.
I'm sorry, but you really didn't know anything about them?
I had a look at Mrs Heinz's notes.
The female laid her eggs inside a woman's brain...
and when they hatched the woman died because the newborns fed off her brain.
You know what we'll do? You'll stay with me.
I'll help you pack your suitcase.
You can't stay here.
An old man died here, burglars came...
It will do you good to get away for a while.
My place is much more comfortable than yours.
You'll be in the centre of town away from all this.
No, you need company. A bit like me.
I'm fed up of watching television alone.
- Are you listening to me? - The rabbit.
What sound do rabbits make?
Your fridge looks like a cemetery.
Things go off after a while. They have to be thrown away.
When you stay with me I'll give you an accelerated course in home economics.
I'll make you the ideal housewife of the year.
They must have made you clean the floors for years in the orphanage.
Yes, my clear.
How else do you explain your phobia of cleanliness?
Oh god!
Rags on the floor.
Are you listening to me?
Who'll feed him?
We have to bring the rabbit as well, if we can find him.
Have you seen him anywhere?
Catherine!
Stop moving, you'll make it worse!
Stop moving! I'll take it off.
I'll get you a drink.
Catherine!
Did I say something wrong? Don't you want me to come any more?
So...
Jack, where the hell are you going?
- Going for a piss? - Yes, to piss beer!
Is this your lipstick?
Not bad.
Listen, are you high?
- Jack, you son of a bitch! - Dumb bastard!
Where the hell are you?
Well?
Are we interrupting?
What are you doing?
It was her!
I did what she wanted.
Her face was burning up.
I couldn't stop myself.
I can't believe it.
Hello?
I was in a hurry to leave.
I left my small black diary in your house.
Find it, but don't open it.
I'll be back soon to collect it.
Goodbye, Miriam.
Hello?
- Franz! - Yes, it's me, what's wrong?
- Something terrible has happened. - Oh so you already know. Come fast!
What?
Come to the hospital, she wants to see you.
I don't know if you'll make it, she hasn't got long.
What are you talking about? Who wants to see me?
We did everything we could.
- Did you tell her? - Yes, of course.
She kept repeating your name during the operation.
In a moment of clarity she asked to talk to you.
- It was her heart. - Can I see her?
We still have to finish the stitches...
Miriam!
Please.
Miriam!
It's all your fault!
It's your damned fault! Evil witch!
Damn you!
I'm dying because of you!
Calm down, it's all over.
It's rare but it can happen.
It's a case of apparent death.
An adrenaline charge brought her back to life.
It wouldn't be the first time.
Excuse me, but I'm tired now.
Bye, auntie. I'll see you later.
See you tomorrow.
The same thing could have happened to the old man.
No, he's been dead too long.
What about the message on my answering machine?
- Maybe it was a prank call. - No, it was his voice, I recognised it.
And why did Catherine say those horrible things to me?
I had nothing to do with her death. I don't even know the man who...
Are you listening to me? I'm being serious.
I'm really scared. What's happening to me?
Why did the old man call me?
Listen to me, the old man can't have called you for one simple reason...
He's dead. His body's here in the morgue.
I'll show you right now if you don't believe me
No, I can't.
Let's go.
If you're scared, stay here. I'll check for you.
No.
Let me know if you see anyone.
If they catch me here I'll have to look for a job in nursing.
- You don't have to do this for me. - Who else, then?
You're the first woman who...
Can I kiss you?
Please, Franz.
Just trying to build up some courage.
'Unknown'
Please, let's get out of here. Take me home.
The message was there. I heard it with my own ears.
Okay, and now it's gone.
I know you don't believe me but maybe the police will.
And what will you tell the police?
That a linen cloth and an answering machine message have disappeared?
Some old guy died in your home. We just need to find his body.
What was he to you? A friend, a relative?
- No, so forget about it. - What about Catherine?
They caught the man who killed her. Miriam, you just need to sleep.
If we can find the old man's diary, will you believe me?
I already believe you.
Seriously?
Helps prevent anxiety. No, it's too late.
Too early for this.
- The rabbit's disappeared as well. - No, he hasn't, he's hiding.
Because he knows I hate him.
Take this.
No, don't leave. I don't want to be alone.
Who's leaving?
It was my fault. It's always my fault.
Try to rest.
Tomorrow we'll find the rabbit and the old man's diary.
- There's something... - What?
I'll sleep on the sofa.
Our American brothers send their regards, they're all waiting.
The wait is over. Welcome, Damon.
- Old Moebius is dead, right? - Did you bring them?
I'd heard talk of them but I've never seen them.
They're beautiful.
- When? - Right away.
We were just waiting for your arrival.
Come.
This is Mrs Heinz. Her husband is one of us.
I prefer them when they're not drugged, they suffer more.
Hello? Is that you, Monica?
Yes, of course I know what time it is.
I need a favour.
Can you check who ordered the closure of the old man's coffin?
Yes, exactly. That one.
Yes, I'll wait. Don't worry, I suffer from insomnia.
My aunt signed it. Okay, that's fine.
Sorry if I disturbed you. Goodnight.
The northern point is out of alignment. You have to measure it again.
Hold her head still or we risk losing everything.
The parameters are perfectly symmetrical, you may proceed.
The black goat of the apostles, I summon you.
I make the sign. I enunciate the words.
Come! Come!
I turn the key!
Together again at last, master.
Miriam!
The old man's come back! He's alive!
Franz!
I woke up and there was... What's wrong?
My god!
Are you okay?
I know your destiny.
I can't live any more. You must do it.
What are you talking about?
You must kill me.
Or I'll kill you!
You're the reason for all of this!
You shouldn't have driven, Miriam. You're not ready.
You're psychologically unstable.
But most of all, you shouldn't drive. You're not ready.
You're psychologically unstable.
I'm sorry about Franz and Catherine...
but they were two obstacles that had to be eliminated.
But you mustn't be afraid, we are your family.
Yes, you always thought you were alone in the world but you were wrong.
We've always taken care of you.
We put you in the orphanage, we raised you in boarding school.
We found you your job and this house.
You owe all of this to us.
Your entire life has been mapped out.
To seize this moment today.
A moment of indescribable joy.
Who are you? What do you want?
I told you, we are your family, dear.
Don't move, clear.
Just a moment and I've finished.
What are you doing to me? I don't want to die.
You're not here to die, but to give life.
We couldn't tell you before because you could have ruined everything.
You won't feel any pain.
It won't take long.
For you, nine months will be just nine minutes.
I came back for you, to give you everything you've always dreamed of.
You were born for this. You're not just any human-being.
I'm here now to show you the eternal light.
Please let me go! I don't want to, let me go!
You can't fight your destiny.
Know that when the faceless one cast us down to earth...
He created Hell for us. Hell!
And this is one of his gates.
I'm begging you!
The time has come when the children of darkness will become flesh and bone...
and they will abandon God.
And all mankind will abandon God for millions of centuries!
I came back to bring Hell on earth.
That's why the sacred insect impregnated you.
That's why I gave you life.
You always wanted a father and a son.
Now you'll have both, and at the same time.
No, it's not true! I never wanted this.
Yes, Miriam, you've always wanted it.
I am your father!
He's all yours. It's a gift for you.
Run! Run away!
Calm.
Don't worry.
It will be fine.
You are beautiful Miriam.
Don't worry.
It will be fine.
Don't worry.
Calm.
Breathe, Miriam.
Good.
Breathe, Miriam.
Like that. Good.
Push!
More!
More Miriam!
Push harder!
Push!
You can do this Miriam!
He's born! He's born!
You did great. It's all over now.
Today you begin a new life.
He is our revenge against God.
For the first time in your life you have a choice.
If you join us you will raise him.
Otherwise we will, and you will be free.
Think it over. Think.
The flames will attract attention, we must hurry.
Don't worry, Damon, no one can stop us now.
Don't be like this.
I know it's hard but you'll understand in time...
and you'll remember this clay with happiness.
- Perhaps you're right. - Good, you'll be proud of your choice.
Welcome to our family.
Stop her, Damon!
Stop, he's your son. You have a family now.
No, you're not my family.
- What are you saying? - And you're not my father!
Didn't you say I had a choice?
Okay, I've chosen.
Stop!
Look! Come here!
Look!
Him! He protected me from the flames.
Why did he save me? Because he loved me?
Or maybe because he was my son.
You still here?;)
