The Rain Page #5

I don't know, Mr. Wheeler.

My pa...

my pa took him

back into the woods.

Listen to me, Daniel Jonis.

Don't go home.

Stay away till dawn.

Why?

So you don't end up like my boy.

[Breathing heavily]

[Gasps]

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's cool.

[Sighs]

Yeah.

What's that?

[Gasping]

You said you got rid of it!

You promised, Clarence!

Yes, I did, Jean. I promised.

I promised the whole town...

that I would put an end

to this drought, which I started...

that I'd put an end

to this suffering.

And I intend on keeping

that promise.

[Gasping]

[Panting]

[Gasping]

I'm gonna let it f***in' kill you, Cari,

if you don't do exactly what I say.

Please. Please take it

away from me. I can't breathe!

I promise. I promise.

But you have to do

exactly what I say.

Do you understand?

Is that a yes?

Is that a yes?

Promise.

You promise what?

I want you to say it.

I promise to drown Kyle.

I heard a promise, Cari.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

[Thunder crashes]

Kyle.

- [Kyle gasping]

- Kyle!

Enough with you!

I'll deal with you later!

I'll show you how to do it.

I'll show you how to do it.

[Grunting]

[Kyle grunting]

[Grunting]

[Water splashing]

KYLE:
Stop!

[Thunder rumbles]

[Knock on door]

[Rattling]

[Grunting]

Shh. Shh. Shh.

Can you breathe?

They... they killed Max and Jack.

- I tried to stop 'em.

- Shh.

Don't talk.

We need to get out of here now.

ELEANOR:
Cari, open the door.

Through the window.

Karl!

You're putting us all in danger.

Don't listen to her. Go. Now.

Oh, my God.

He wasn't lying.

[Rain stops]

[Groans]

What's wrong?

[Crackling]

Nothing. Go towards

the front of the house.

What about Max and Jack?

It's too late for them, Kyle.

It's not safe here.

No!

[Crackling]

[Groans]

[Knife falls]

Cari!

No one said you could

come down here, Mandy.

Go upstairs

and play with your sister.

Now!

Mama? Oh, God!

[Both grunting]

KYLE:
Owwww!

[Thunder crashes]

Uh, it's only a small cut.

It doesn't hurt much.

Just a little more blood, Kyle.

No! What are you doing?!

- [Grunts]

- [Thunder crashes]

No! What's wrong with you?

I'm sick.

No!

Not you, too!

You all want to hurt me!

It's the rain.

[Fire crackling]

[Indistinct whispering]

[Three knocks on door]

Daniel?

Daniel? Pa?

[Screams]

[Indistinct chanting]

[Screams]

The drought has plagued us

for far too long now, Brenda.

Ever since Daddy found the hat...

our farm... all of the farms,

they're all dead.

Dead because there is no rain!

[Thunder crashes]

But that will all change.

Once I give...

Dad, you're sick.

You're sick, and you need help.

You've been sick ever since

you found that thing.
