Annabelle (2014) Edit

A daughter needs her mother.

A few, actually.

A man and his wife were brutally stabbed to death...

A pendulum swing like that is enough to shake even the strongest foundations.

A shrink?

A sort of violence for violence's sake.

A soul needs to be offered to the demon before it can take it.

A soul.

After a little more digging, I did find that their act wasn't devotional.

Ah! Leah! Heh.

Aisle four. Follow me.

All of it, I guess.

All right. Hold on a second. I was waiting on this until the baby, but...

All she wanted was to be friends.

Always helping people.

An old blues ditty.

And a baby cannot offer its soul.

And had predicted an Armageddon like event he called Helter Skelter.

And how are you doing?

And I'm freaking out about matching...

And if I come up with anything further, I'll reach out and I'll let you...

And if it does, I'm too tired to show it.

And instead of trying to forget this bad history...

And isn't ruptured...

And it made them see and do all sorts of...

And it was very late and I shouldn't have been behind the wheel.

And it worked for them.

And it.

And on the doubt we cast on ourselves.

And one more thing. Does the cult have a name?

And our sacrifices touch God's heart and move his hand.

And our sacrifices touch God's heart and move his hand.

And Ruby never did.

And she paid the price.

And she said she wanted those pajamas.

And the very best.

And the windup.

And then its head was looking up instead of down...

And then one day, it was in a completely different room.

And then they learn to talk.

And then...

And they won't stop until they get one.

And we have some adult conversation.

And, of course, I remember Leah. You are...?

Any second now...

Are you talking about the residency, or me and the baby?

Are you, Phil?

As both "God" and "Satan" by his devoted followers...

As reminiscent of a horrific occult ritual...

At least we're getting a little exercise.

At my daughter asleep.

At the very least, I've heard of a married couple...

Awaiting charges for the brutal Tate and LaBianca murders...

Away there, and a beautiful sinker right in the box.

Baby, are you sure they're not just manifestations of your anxiety?

Because you are a lot pregnant.

Because you think you heard a scream?

Before police investigators were led to the suspects...

Behind you.

But anything beyond that would be putting you and your child at risk. All right?

But as I lay there, waiting for it all to end...

But evil is constant. You cannot destroy what was never created.

But how do I stop it?

But I've never been happier.

But if something does happen...

But let's not make a big deal out of this, okay?

But now, that cult?

But police officials have labeled them a dangerous cult.

But someone at the church might.

But that's all this was.

But that's crazy.

But the fears and the anxieties, we promised to leave those behind.

But then things got worse.

But we are beyond terrified.

But we moved and it's still happening.

But wouldn't you be more comfortable sitting down?

But you know what?

But you said that it can't take Leah's. You said that it has to be offered.

But you survived.

But you two hit more than just a rough patch.

But, um, unless it has something to do with our safety...

By now she's probably got three husbands and calls herself "Star."

By their estranged daughter, Annabelle Higgins, and her unidentified boyfriend.

Bye.

Bye.

Camilla got in touch with a medium. We learned from her...

Can we just go back and redo the last two minutes, please?

Change of view would be good.

Children are a blessing.

CLARKIN: Ma'am...

CLARKIN: They were members of a cult.

Come here, honey. Alrighty. Okay. Here we go. Here we go, Leah.

Come on, come on.

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Come on.

Come to Mommy! Come to Mommy!

COMMENTATOR ON RADIO: The count is 2 and 1 on the 74th pitch.

Congratulations.

Currently, several Family members are in custody...

Demons are his manipulators.

Demons can sometimes use objects as conduits to achieve their desired goal.

Demons can't just take souls, Mia.

Demons.

Did we ask about names yet?

Did you get to have your meeting today?

Did you look further into it?

Do you live here too?

Do you mind if I ask how she passed? I don't mind if...

Do you think you could shut off the TV? It's making it a little hard to concentrate.

DOCTOR: And while the amniotic sac wasn't punctured...

Doctors and nurses with first names and last names, and tragedies of their own.

Does this mean anything to you?

EVELYN SINGING: We're gonna rock that baby all night long.

Evelyn, hi.

EVELYN: Frankly, Mia...

EVELYN: Mia!

EVELYN: There is.

EVELYN: Who is that?

Evelyn!

Ever.

Ever.

Everyone keeps telling me that...

Everyone?

Excuse me.

Experience more of the outside world than they ever thought possible.

Family will do that to you.

Father Perez was in an accident. He said...

FATHER PEREZ: God honors sacrifice.

FATHER PEREZ: God honors sacrifice.

FATHER PEREZ: Has there been any sign of the doll?

FATHER PEREZ: Let us pray.

FATHER PEREZ: We cannot let fear control us.

Father Perez.

Father?

Father.

For only they can share in God's creative miracle.

For we are never truly alone...

For what, specifically?

From what I've read in the past...

General Hospital on ABC.

Get out of here!

Get out! Get out of here, Mia!

Gets the help they need.

Go back inside and call an ambulance, right now. Go!

Good night.

Good night.

Good to see you too. We'll see you soon.

Good.

Greater love hath no one than this.

Greater love hath no one than this...

Guilty, yes. Because of what I said.

Have you ever heard the expression:

Having had a little distance I am...

He said he wanted to stop by at some point this week.

He, uh, thinks I've got a real shot at Huntington Memorial.

Heh. Stop it! She's perfect.

Heh. You are going to spoil her.

Hello again.

Help me!

Help me!

Help us. You gotta help us, John.

Help! Please!

Here, give her to me.

Here, I'll get her.

Here. This was my daughter's favorite.

Hey, honey, you all set?

Hey, honey?

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. You know what, you shouldn't even be watching that stuff. All right?

Hey. You're the new tenants at the Palmeri, aren't you?

Hi, Leah, it's your daddy.

Hi!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Honey, I'm sorry, Mia. I am.

Hopefully, the answer is in one of these books.

How do we get rid of it?

How's it going in here?

I am putting you on bed rest for the remainder of your pregnancy.

I am trying my hardest to enjoy it.

I brought what I have on the Higgins case.

I can make it right.

I can never go back there. I can't. I can't, not with her. No.

I can't have Leah anywhere near that doll.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

I didn't get to beg God to take me first.

I didn't know if you would.

I didn't mean for that to sound like it did. I'm sorry.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know where she got it...

I don't know, but...

I don't know, there must have been some motive for their attacks.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't particularly think what you're experiencing is the ghost of that girl.

I felt how much it wants.

I felt it.

I fly out for a day in a few days.

I guess that's a "no" on Phyllis?

I had them scrub everything. At least twice.

I have one just like it.

I haven't even mentioned the fact that I'm about to be a new father.

I haven't had a chance for grandkids. And besides,

I heard her voice.

I just learned something.

I just pray that whomever comes into contact with the doll next

I know it sounds crazy, the ghost of this girl haunting us, but I just...

I know you'll take good care of our Leah.

I know you're stressed.

I know. He just said he wanted to go over a few things.

I like to hang photos of the newest members of the congregation

I like your doll.

I love you too.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I made the mistake...

I mean, I can't have anything ever happen to it.

I mean, it's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon.

I mean, it's not like this is an ideal situation for what I'm about to go through.

I mean, it's not only me. Nobody can stand her.

I mean, there're just too many unanswered questions.

I mean, you're its mother, right?

I need an ambulance.

I need you here. Please, don't do this.

I realize, Miss Prentice, but you still have time. Mind if I look around?

I said I didn't want to know any more.

I saw it, John.

I saw your girls and I felt like I had known them a long time.

I should probably go too. Go to Mommy?

I still feel the Higgins' absence every Sunday.

I suppose this little one is pretty much new to everything.

I swear, one day he thinks I'll just...

I think my family's being haunted by a ghost.

I think something's wrong.

I think this is the last of them.

I think we should talk to someone.

I think you should use it as an example of how strong you two can be when united.

I told you, I don't know! Would you please leave?!

I understand, of course.

I understand.

I understand.

I was a little surprised to hear from you, though. Last time we spoke...

I will always believe you.

I will go as long as you stop talking.

I woke up three weeks later...

I'd completely lost hope.

I'd rather not hear any more about it.

I'll be fine.

I'll bring your sewing bag in later on.

I'll dig a little deeper.

I'll take your coat.

I'll tell you what.

I'm just a little, uh, oversensitive lately.

I'm making popcorn.

I'm Mia and this is Leah.

I'm Mia.

I'm not crazy, John. I'm not crazy, John.

I'm not saying that you're crazy, okay. And I'm not talking about a shrink.

I'm old.

I'm right here. I'm right here with you.

I'm so sorry that I wasn't here. I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I've already told him everything. I'd rather just forget the whole thing.

If it wasn't, you would know.

If Leah did something like this, I would want to know about it.

If they heard me scream, I'd rather they call the cops.

If you do so delicately.

In a matter of months, you've experienced the very worst of life.

In my, um, almost expert opinion...

Indeed they are.

Is everything all right?

Is the love of a mother.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Isn't it true that the more we know about something the less fear we have from it?

It could upset the baby. There's new research out there...

It started out small...

It took my baby.

It wants her soul. I have to give it mine, John.

It was a car accident.

It was moving around by itself.

It was the only thing that would settle my Ruby down when she was a baby.

It will weaken the demon enough, it won't have the strength to return.

It won't give her back unless I...

It's beautiful.

It's been a lot of fun for me.

It's fine.

It's fine.

It's fine. She's fine. You're fine.

It's gonna be okay.

It's in Pasadena, though. It's a little further from the beach. You okay with that?

It's just you, me and Leah.

It's like the house is accursed.

It's none of your business.

It's not like difficult or challenging are bad things, anyway.

It's not like this is a threat or anything. This is just...

It's okay.

It's okay. She should know.

It's only a couple days.

It's perfectly normal for new mothers to experience postpartum...

It's what my parents did when they hit a rough patch...

Its presence.

Jesus said, "This is my commandment."

Jesus said, "This is my commandment."

John Form, we are meant to be together.

John, wait!

John, wake up.

JOHN: Are you sure it's okay for the baby to have this much butter and s...

JOHN: But Detective Clarkin has no record of it.

JOHN: Come on, let's get you to bed. Doctor's orders.

JOHN: I still don't understand what the doll has to do with this supposed demon.

JOHN: I win.

JOHN: I'll get her.

JOHN: Mia, no!

JOHN: Mia!

JOHN: Mia!

JOHN: Okay, close your eyes.

JOHN: Okay, look, listen to me.

JOHN: Please, you gotta come down. Please come down. Okay?

JOHN: Please...

JOHN: So we turned to the Church, Father.

JOHN: That completes the set, right?

JOHN: The baby is not even aware of what happened.

JOHN: There isn't anyone here.

JOHN: We're doing much better now. Thank you.

JOHN: What?

JOHN: Wonderful sermon.

JOHN: Working yourself up over nothing.

JOHN: Yes, Mia, if she did, I would want to know too.

JOHN: Yes, you did.

JOHN: You gotta remember that we moved here to get away from what happened.

JOHN: You just breathe.

John?

John?

John.

John. But he cheats.

Just don't get all obsessed with those daytime soaps.

Just remember:

Just take whatever you want and just get out!

Last thing I remember was...

Leah would never do anything like this. This isn't even good.

Leah, Leah, Leah. Please, no.

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah!

Leah! Leah!

Leah?

Leah.

Leah. Hi.

Let me take her.

Let us pray.

Let's go.

Let's just say that I've had one or two experiences in my life...

Like a hand or a leg was in a different position.

Like Father Perez said, we should celebrate our strength, right?

Like what we're about to go through.

Like what?

Like when I go into labor, John.

Like who?

Like your old house.

Listen. You don't wanna do this. Okay, listen to me. No, stop, stop.

Logonov swinging. Strike, to bring the count to 2 and 2.

Look at her.

Look at her.

Look at it out here.

Look at this.

Look what they drew for you.

Look, I don't even want to talk about it. I don't wanna think about it. I...

Look, I know that I've been a little caught up in my own world lately.

Look, I'm sorry. Look, okay, you know what?

Look, it had absolutely nothing to do with the money!

Looking over in the passenger seat...

Looks a lot different than the last time you saw her, doesn't she?

MAN 1: He backed out again?!

MAN 1: How did you end up with it?

MAN 2: Let's get them on!

MAN ON RADIO: May God have mercy on your soul!

MAN ON TV: An ever changing challenge of love and hope, loneliness and despair.

MAN ON TV: General Hospital:

MAN ON TV: I do know how painful this must be for you.

MAN ON TV: In a tragic scene described by one investigator...

MAN ON TV: Their leader, Charles Manson, was sometimes referred to...

MAN ON TV: They call themselves "The Family."

MAN: Your soul.

Many of them with histories of heavy drug use and criminal behavior.

May God have mercy on your soul!

May I see it?

Maybe Leah will like it too, when she's a little older.

Maybe we could put some of that, uh, what do you call it, what do you use these...?

Men.

Mia, come on.

Mia, come on.

Mia, listen to him.

Mia, no! Don't do it.

Mia, she had grown into the most beautiful young woman.

Mia, she's fine. Okay? You both need to get out of here.

Mia, the phone is dead. Come on.

MIA: "The Devil preys on the weak and the vulnerable."

MIA: Father Perez?

MIA: Hello?

MIA: Help me!

MIA: Hey.

MIA: I suppose you can tell Detective Clarkin he can stop by whenever it's convenient.

MIA: It is not as easy as it sounds, John.

MIA: Leah!

MIA: Leah.

MIA: Leah. Leah!

MIA: Oh, heh.

MIA: Oh, my God!

MIA: Oh, really? Because I heard there's some new research that, um, you know...

MIA: Oh. It's beautiful. Thank you, Father.

MIA: There she was, at the bottom of one of our last boxes.

MIA: There. She fits right in.

MIA: This is Leah.

MIA: You are a lifesaver.

Mia!

Mia!

Mia!

Mia.

Mia. Come on, what if...

Mia. Mind if I take a picture of your little one?

Mia...

Mm.

Mm. I promise.

Mommy's coming to save you, Leah. Mommy's coming.

Mommy's coming.

Most likely caused by the trauma.

Most people?

Mothers are closer to God than any other living creature.

Must be that room. That never did that in the den.

My baby!

My daughter, Ruby.

My husband's coming back.

Never did find one.

Next door, I heard a scream.

No crazier than the Red Sea parting.

No one ever plans to offer their soul.

No, just let me go check it out. They'd do the same for us.

No, maybe difficult's not the right word.

No, Mia, listen to me. Leah needs you here. Okay, sweetie?

No, no, no. Hold her on your lap.

No, no.

No, not since that night. I thought the police took it.

No, you're right. You're right. Just, um, consider it gone.

No!

No! My baby!

No! No!

No! No!

No.

No.

No. Evelyn.

No. Why would I?

Not yet.

Now you could perform surgery in there, it's so clean.

Now, what is it you're looking for?

Now, you can get up and use the facilities...

Now, you gonna tell me? Or we just...

Now...

Of course I do.

Of course you do.

Of course.

Oh, and, uh, Detective Clarkin called today.

Oh, cocoa butter. Maybe we should slather her with some cocoa butter.

Oh, God.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Oh, Mommy.

Oh, my God, John.

Oh, my God, you know what would go really well with pickles?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Mia.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, no, no, no. I was just browsing, really.

Oh, no. No, John. I can't. Not until I know it's not coming back.

Oh, no. The last time you said that I ended up pregnant.

Oh, sorry. Thank you.

Oh, sweetie pie, goodness gracious.

Oh, you didn't lock it?

Oh, you don't need me in the photo.

Oh, you know what?

Oh.

Okay, okay.

Okay, so I say I come home, we sit down...

Okay, so let's go find out where they live, introduce ourselves.

Okay, so, uh...

Okay, well, on that note...

Okay? And that's because of you.

Okay? Can we do that?

Okay? Come on, you need this. I need this. Leah, she could definitely use some color.

Okay? Think about her.

Okay? We can turn the whole room into your own little sweatshop.

Okay.

Okay. Good.

Okay. Open your eyes.

Okay. You know what, my Ruby used to fuss and fuss until I rocked her.

On our anxieties...

On the monsters that feed on our insecurities...

Once used as the backdrop for many well known Westerns...

Once you're in the residency it gets a million times worse.

One officer summed up these blood soaked murders by saying:

Open the door!

Our souls, John.

Out to dinner. Even dancing.

Perhaps, if she's stored in a sacred place...

Pete send you after me?

PETE: Oh, dear.

PHIL ON TV: I'm your friend, you know that, don't you?

PHIL: Of course I am.

Pickles.

Please, come down.

Please, don't do this to us.

Please, God, no!

Please, just be as fast as possible.

Please?

Please.

POLICEMAN: I got you. I got you. It's okay. Come here.

POLICEMAN: Open up!

Put her down here.

Residing on the grounds of Spahn Ranch...

Right there.

Run off too.

See what I can find.

See! That's us.

Seeking to devour their souls...

Sharon, let's go inside. These two, they have a lot to talk about.

SHARON: Think nothing of it.

She had lost her parents and had taken a liking to my doll.

She is gonna...

She passed away when she was about your age.

She ran away and joined up with the hippies.

She told me that it wasn't my time.

She used to fuss and fuss. Come on.

She's a nurse.

Should we, uh, talk to their parents?

Shouldn't we call the cops?

So do we.

So don't think you're crazy for trying to do that.

So if you listen to them, the baby is fine.

So where is this beautiful family off to?

So you believe in this stuff?

So, uh, I was tired, you know.

Somebody pop the champagne.

Something that's never existed in the flesh.

Sometimes you just don't wanna hear how difficult it's gonna be.

Spilling the blood of kin.

Stay here. I'll go check it out.

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop. Stop.

Terrible things.

Thank you for believing me.

Thank you for meeting with me.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I love her.

That doll.

That God had another purpose for me.

That have helped me to keep an open mind.

That should do it.

That the church has worked with in the past that deal with this type of thing.

That the doll was possessed by a girl named Annabelle Higgins.

That they did this to prove their devotion...

That they were actually trying to conjure something up.

That was, clearly, taken before she got caught up in the cult.

That you love one another as I have loved you.

That you love one another as I have loved you.

That, uh, could help move things in that direction.

That's a very good rule to have.

That's Annabelle there. The Higgins girl.

That's very sweet. Thank you.

That's why it's after Leah.

That's why we price it a little higher than the rest.

The baby is fine.

The Devil is the father of lies.

The Devil? Demons?

The evil.

The Family is estimated to have close to 30 members...

The lock.

The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God...

The male suspect was shot and killed as police arrived on scene...

The Tooth Fairy. I don't know specifically.

The two are believed to be members of a cult.

Then you won't mind if I, uh, keep this one for myself.

There are things happening that I can't explain, John.

There has to be another way!

There. I am leaving now!

There. She fits right in.

There's a lot of blood.

There's something I wanna give you.

There's this one day conference in Sacramento that he thinks I should attend...

These cults, they don't summon ghosts.

These were miscreants.

They are gonna love you.

They are learning that babies in utero...

They called themselves "The Disciples of the Ram."

They didn't lose their daughter, Mia.

They didn't think they were crazy.

They had to have had a reason.

They live up north.

They recognize voices and noises, songs.

They say that I'm being rewarded.

They summon inhuman spirits.

They were probably hopped up on God knows what...

They're back East, but a call can always be placed.

Things must have gotten mixed up after the fire.

Think they heard you scream.

This cult that she was in...

This doll...

This is between me and Leah...

This is Evelyn. She owns the bookstore I was telling you about.

This light of truth is everlasting.

To nonbelievers, it's all crazy.

To perform incantations...

To protect your family.

To satisfy any pregnancy cravings.

To take her soul.

To that wonder which is a human being.

Tomorrow night, I don't have to work late.

Uh, challenging?

Uh, this is a bunch of random stuff that I picked up at the store...

Um...

Um...

Um...

Usually where something terrible has happened.

Wait a sec, how did that get in there? I swear I threw it out.

Wants what?

We are seeing signs of strain on the cervix.

We have a nice dinner...

We have to get rid of it. I mean, she had it in her hands.

We looked everywhere for one of these.

We need to face our fears to better understand them.

We need to leave.

We need to remember that, for those who have faith...

We need to shine a bright light...

We packed up our clothes, we packed up our furniture. We packed up the good memories.

We shouldn't talk about the baby so much in front of them.

We still have a lot of boxes to unpack.

We were driving back from my parents'.

We'll be a little short on the rent the next few months, but, uh...

We'll get her back. We need to get to church, they'll help us. Come!

We're going.

We're making friends already.

We're not supposed to tell. She's a stranger.

We're nurses, we help people.

We've confirmed that it was Higgins' daughter and her boyfriend.

Well, because this is all just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Well, crazy people do crazy things, ma'am.

Well, even "Star" is a better name than Phyllis.

Well, feel free to stop by anytime.

Well, ghosts haunt specific places.

Well, I don't plan on offering my soul anytime soon.

Well, I guess there are some things we need to take care of ourselves.

Well, I have my ways.

Well, I realized I could use some closure.

Well, if you guys ever want a tour of the neighborhood, don't hesitate to call me.

Well, it's not quite as prevalent as they'd have you believe.

Well, maybe one day, we can all be friends.

Well, then, I have a friend.

Well, they only lost their daughter two years ago.

Well, unfortunately, I don't have a prayer to help you with that.

Well, we'll certainly find out with Leah because...

Well...

Were they satanic?

What do I do?

What do they want?

What do we do in the meantime?

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?!

What happened?

What if I just stayed up with her?

What if they're not dead? What'll you do then?

What is all that?

What is it?

What the hell is that?

What things?

What was it that you were humming?

What would they do without us? I mean, honestly.

What? It was two against one. I had to do something, right?

What? What's gonna happen?

What's your name?

When they could have just asked the mother for free.

When we heard this, we felt really sorry for her. I mean,

When we walk with God.

When you hear it, you're gonna think we're insane.

Where did Sharon get off to?

Where did you find her? I mean, do you know how long I've been looking?

Where doctors and nurses dedicate their lives...

Where is it?

Where is she?!

Which held Los Angeles in the grip of fear...

Which is why I don't think it's a ghost.

Which is why...

Which means there's very little that surprises me anymore.

While the daughter was found in an apparent suicide, her throat slit open.

Who are you?

Who won?

Why don't you just leave now.

Why not?

Why not?

Without her, I felt like I had nothing else to live for, so...

WOMAN 1: Anything I can help you with?

WOMAN 1: It's a collector's item, supposedly.

WOMAN 2: Oh, I'm just trying to find something for my daughter. Thanks.

WOMAN OVER PHONE:911 operator.

WOMAN: I like your dolls.

WOMAN: In Santa Monica?

WOMAN: It scares us just thinking about it.

WOMAN: It was a gift from my mom, for my birthday.

WOMAN: Mia.

WOMAN: She's adorable.

WOMAN: What's your emergency?

WOMAN: What's your location?

Wonderful.

Yeah, I did.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, Mia, I promise.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, we gotta get you back to bed.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.
