What I need you to do...

listen very carefully now...

is I need you to take your hands...

take your hands...

place them on his chest.

And submerge him

until his lungs fill with water.

No!

Cari!

Look at this!

Look at it!

It's not gonna get any better.

You understand?

Stop! You're insane!

Cari!

Listen to me.

If you don't do this...

me, you, your mother...

all of us...

we're gonna die

a horrific and agonizing death.

- Stop!

- Cari!

- Stop! You're hurting me!

- Cari!

You don't understand.

In order to bring the rain...

[Thunder crashes]

...we as a family

must make a sacrifice.

We must make a sacrifice.

It's been going on

for over a generation.

I'm gonna call the sheriff.

Doesn't matter.

He knows.

He already knows.

The whole community knows.

We all suffer

from the same curse, Cari.

Our lives... our health...

our crops...

everything.

[Thunder rumbles]

And the only way to fix it

is that you have to sacrifice

your brother Kyle.

This is a hoax.

Please stop. Stop it now.

You're lying.

Stop being so dramatic

and do as you're told!

You made a promise.

Now keep it!

How do you think...

Perseverance has prospered

all these years?

Have you looked around?

Have you looked

at all the towns around you?

Huh? They're all dried up.

Why?

Because we made a promise.

And that promise has to be fulfilled.

Now, I want you...

to make it rain.

You make it rain.

Do you hear me?

But it's already raining.

Where's Max?

Where's Jack?

[Thunder rumbles]

[Gasps]

Oh, God. No. No.

No.

[Thunder crashes]

You'll learn, Cari.

You'll learn

like all of us had to learn...

the whole town...

that one day,

when you have your children,

your turn will come.

I just pray that you'll have

the determination

to do exactly

what my father did with me...

...and that I have to do

with you now.

May you have the strength...

to pull the trigger.

[Coin falls]

No. No!

It wasn't supposed to go like that!

And what way was that, Clive?!

BO Y:
The selection has been made.

The shaman now demands

a sacrifice.

If you go back on your word,

he will curse your land and people.

Stop it, Ben.

Stop it!

BEN:
No more children!

Let it go, Ben!

Ben. Ben.

We got rain.

There's no going back now.

How can you just let

your babies go?!

Why the children?!

Why don't you take one of us?!

The shaman was a father.

The white man like you

killed his children.

His heart is now dark.

The same darkness is now on you.

[Clacking]

Mr. Wheeler.

I saw Simon this morning.

My boy?

Outside the forest, by our property.

He came running out of the woods.

And?

He was hurt real bad, screaming

that he was being chased.

Where is he now?
