Sharon! She's not here! Oh, God. Christopher, can you see anything? Sharon! Sharon!
I've seen your daughter, I've seen Alessa. She's dead, isn't she?
You burned in the fire that you started, and nothing can save you because you're already damned!
This woman uses your fear to control you.
You darkened the heart of an innocent, and now you cower in the face of Alessa's revenge.
Your FAITH brings DEATH!
You people. You get off the highway from whatever big city, bringing all your sick problems with you.
That's the seal, isn't it Anna? The symbol of your faith?
What the fuck? What the fuck? You saw that right? That was real? What the fuck is going on?
Mother is God in the eyes of a child.
