Yes.

My name is...

Thank you.

You know If you don't tell me what the fuck he came here for, I'll die for him.

What are you doing, man? He still didn't tell him anything.

Hey, huh?

You're fucking crazy. Tell him, Jada. He knows something.

Look, it's fine.

It looks like we have till Christmas.

I know what you're saying, Jada.

What the fuck is that?

Son of a bitch!

Look, look.

I bet you Silk wanted this.

If Silk wanted this, that's the fucking score.

Look, I just say we leave it, okay?

Get the fuck out of town.

Silk would never accept this from us.

And that's why I won't work, Jada. Look, we owe.

And we owe big.

Silt like to make an example out of people who don't pay him back.

You know that?

Yeah.

What do you want to do?

I want to find out what this is.

Yo, Jada, check this out.

Madeline LaCroix's laughs turned to holocaust, and her husband Cecil blamed

whispering crocs on the curse?

Desperate to stop the spread of the blood, he turned to Mama Cecil, a

treacherous witch doctor.

Cecil watched as the slave owners burned his house to the ground with his wife

inside at night.

They swore they saw the presence of something sinister.

Unexplained deaths followed.

What the hell?

I need some fresh air.

What's up, man?

Where did you find him?

Look, man, I just wanted to appraise him.

Look,

man, I got him from a friend, okay?

Appraise him.

They couldn't explain why so many of them were dying.

So they hung Cecil upside down and they burned him.

Listen, man.

I'm just trying to sell the damn dog.

Was she with you when you found him?

Oh, man. Who the hell are you? You work for Silk or something?

Man, look. What the hell are you doing?

Hey, man. Look,

if you don't want it, cool. I'll take it somewhere else, all right?

Where's the woman?

What?

The woman.

She's in grave danger.

Look, man. Who the hell are you?

You have to keep her away from mirrors.

What?

Okay.

Look, man, this has been fun and all, but look, I'd take this stupid

motherfucker somewhere else to sell it if you don't want to.

Yo, man.

What the hell you doing to me?

What the hell?

It's already too late.

It's already too late.

Listen, man, if you don't know, I can just take this and... What

the fuck?

Caused me a lot of trouble, you fucking dog.

Fuck this shit.

Hey, Malik.

What's wrong, Zeta?

Do you think there's any truth to what Papa Remy said?

Listen, Papa Remy and his voodoo theatrics.

It's probably just some kid dolls from years ago.

We don't have to worry about them much longer either way. I got a plan.

Yeah, but... What if... What if this doll really is cursed?

Feeza burned Flav.

Wrath of Genji.

I don't know. Right now, I'd be more worried about Silk.

Because he definitely know we got the stash.

Yeah, it's just... Just what? Something happened?

No.

No.

No, it's nothing.

you love with the body? Yo, bitch named Evelyn. She ready tonight.

Tonight, you sure?

Hell yeah, my nigga. That started that motherfucker blowing my phone up right

now, cuz.

Rich and dumb as hell.

Okay, tonight, you sure?

Alright, yo, I'm texting you to address right now. Alright, man, look, be

careful.

We'll let you know when it's done, alright?

Alright,

man.

See you soon.

Sell the dog, get the fuck out of Dodge.

We gotta buy it.

Everything good to go.

Tonight?

That was so fast.

The faster, the better.

Cypher say the body is the real fanatic.

The quicker, the bigger the tank, you feel me?

Malik, about the doll, I saw something.

What?

I don't know. I don't know how to explain it.

It was like a vision.

A vision, Jada?

It's all something like, are you okay?

You haven't been yourself since we left that shop.

I don't know. It's just a stall.

It just feels so wrong, you know?

Look.

Look, Jada.

We don't have time for bad feelings right now.

We're in depth and facing a vision. And your sister.

Look.

We need a fresh door and a clean break.

Let's deal with the dog and help us.

I don't want to leave this place. This is our home.

I don't want to leave everything behind.

Malik, what is that for?

Caution, Jada.

Piper said Silk has up to sent Anthony with the Gregs moving in on his turf. Be

real unpredictable in the streets right now.

It's going to be okay.

You got to be careful. It's okay.

Look, I just, I don't want to leave our home, okay?

All of this just feels so wrong.

Look, we don't have a choice.

We're at home, Jada. Are you serious right now?

Come on, look.

We need this deal with the dog.

We need a clean break and a fresh start.

You know the consequences of when you don't pay silk back. You remember what

happened to Neil, right?

Look, I'm done talking about this. Pack what you need and let's bounce, Jada.

Come on.

Now, let's go.

Welcome to Christmas Eve.

ancestral baggage.

We don't get to choose our family do we?

day you come across something as unique as Juju.

Which is why we think that the buying price was a bit low. No wonder we

negotiate the terms.

Renegotiate?

Well, what exactly is this Juju?

Juju is believed to be a conduit to the other side.

He's a vessel created by the slaves.

in the 17th century to hold the vengeful spirit, the angry spirit.

And these are the same slaves that built this very city.

So it is remarkable.

For women, though, Juju wasn't just a prison. He was a puppet master.

He would inhabit their bodies, and he would become their last vessel. He was a

tormentor. He did this as a twisted act of rebellion against their

oppressors. Did you have a spirit in your possession, something angry, maybe

restless?

Pity.

Juju needs a specific energy to manifest.

The same energy that Cecil felt the day he thought his wife was murdered.

What did that mean?

Well, Juju possessed her way before the house fire.

She sought revenge on behalf of her husband by murdering the slave owners,

kitchen staff, anybody involved.

It was a bloodbath.

They say the bodies were so unrecognizable.

Man, what I would have given to see that.

What happened to his wife?

Well, when Juju finally stopped the bloodlust, he turned from vengeance to

torment. Now, enough chitchat. I'm going to need some time to evaluate the

product. Oh, hey, no. That wasn't part of the deal.

The deal?

Oh, my dear, do you think I would get involved with someone without knowing

their dirty secrets?

How long do you think it'll take before Phil finds out what you stole from him?

I suggest you get real comfortable. My appraiser will be here around midnight.

Smile. It's Christmas Eve.

Yeah, they're here.

Move it quietly.

Let him know it's silver.

Appreciate them looking at it.

Man, it's full of shit.

Damn all that.

Why the fuck you got me out in this cold, motherfucker?

Man, you called me.

Get the fuck out of here.

Why would I call you?

Hey, yo, what's up, my nigga? Y 'all selling?

What the fuck?

It must be Halloween on this bitch.

What do you say?

Let me holler at you for a second.

The hell?

You're just a doll.

Break yourself, motherfucker!

Oh, shit!

Oh, fuck!

Fuck!

Shit!

Fuck!

That's pure cocaine, baby.

Yeah, this was a bad idea, okay?

Can you believe this bitch?

I mean, silk people is everywhere.

That was her best option.

Her best option?

You mean Cypher's best option, sending us out onto a suicide mission.

Look, we'll get the money for Juju as soon as our appraiser lady gets here and

shakes it up. It's gonna be okay.

Malik, something doesn't feel right, okay? This place is so creepy.

It's gonna be okay.

Okay. If fine for you means being stuck in this creepy -ass house with no

signal, then yeah, everything's just fine.

Malik, I want to get out of here.

Damn it.

No fucking signal.

Yeah, no shit, no signal. I just told you that.

Okay,

look, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. No.

No. Don't, don't, don't. Don't think about it. I saw something earlier when

was putting Juju away.

Yeah, I saw it too.

Malik, are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

You want to steal from this woman?

It's a terrible idea.

You don't even have the key, you idiot.

So what?

So what?

Look.

Look.

Silk people is out everywhere looking for us. We need a way out. To get away

Silk won't find us.

No, hell no.

No. Are you like, that's so risky.

Do you even hear yourself?

Malik, we need to just get rid of whatever this juju thing is and get out

here. Okay, honey? Listen to me. First, we steal from Silk.

Now you want to steal from the people they sell to.

So, like, just be smart. Be smart.

I'm the only one coming up with a plan here.

The only thing you're doing is sitting around and telling me about shit I can't

fix.

Fucking phones are useless.

What are we supposed to do now, Zayda, huh?

Oh, man. Okay, fine.

Maybe we could get the money.

How are we going to get the key?

If we could bargain with her. with something.

Bargain what?

Juju doesn't exactly scream bargain shit. I don't know. Do you have a better

idea? I don't know. Maybe we could distract her and then just swipe the

I don't think... Distract her how, Dana? Come on. We improvise.

Look, there has to be something in this room, no?

Anything? No?

Nothing?

Well, you know, Malik, this is all your fault, Malik.

Just type... fucking throws you a bone and you blindly follow like you always

do.

You know what?

What else was I supposed to do, huh?

This was our best shot.

You know, you're always screwing shit up.

You never listen to me.

Just like... You know what?

I'm gonna try to go find a better team now, okay?

No, you never listen to me.

Leave.

Just die, nigger!

Now that's motherfucking black barbecue, baby.

Malik.

Malik.

Jamie!

Let's do it.

I don't believe what I just saw.

Holidays this present is a 4 -7.

I need a painting on a Charlie echo five five six seven over

No doubt Hurry

You do that 9 -1 -1 call you didn't take, officer?

Dispatch, I need a 5 -6 -1. Bitch!

Nobody leave!

Nobody leave!

This thing is so creepy.

Look at its eyes.

Look at its eyes.

It's like it's following us.

How'd it even get out?

I've been here the entire time.

Hey, do you think that story is true about Cecil and his wife?

I don't know.

Papa Remy damn sure believed it was true.

I mean, just the way he said the story, I don't know. But then again, everything

seemed off around here.

Today is just all in their rituals.

People say that it can move on its own.

That it's possessed.

His wife died from mysterious circumstances.

Some say the dog killed him.

Do you think that thing is actually alive?

Look, I don't know.

But whatever it is, it's got us this far.

We just need to keep our head clear and get up out of here.

Yeah, just get our money and leave this place leave that thing and we just It

all feels wrong, you know No, I can't get no steak nowhere.

You see that's me. That's weird.

What's me?

Chris Evelyn.

She doesn't know it.

Why would she lock the doll up and leave us here alone?

I don't know.

Mike, you think this thing has actually occurred?

Do you think we're next?

Nah, look.

We've been through way worse.

She's got to stay focused. We'll get through this.

Okay. Yeah.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Look, whatever the hell that was, we're going to find that white lady and get

the hell out of here ASAP.

Okay. Wait, what do you want to do with Donna? What about that thing?

I mean, look, now that it's free, she's got a reason to use the key again.

Come on, let's go find her, Evelyn.

So this right here, this is Juju.

My grandmother said that he was part of rituals in the 1800s.

Well, the craftsmanship is exquisite. Perhaps it's all back in the 16th

I would make this one of the rarest I've ever come across.

It has been said that...

Vessels like these were very powerful conduits for energies and spirits.

Very malevolent.

The hell, Evan?

Why didn't you tell us she was here?

Calm down.

Calm down. This is... I told you about her.

This is Dr.

Damien. She is my appraiser I told you about. She's here to assess the rest of

my collection.

Yes, please. Have a seat.

What you have found is truly extraordinary.

This doll, Juju, is what we call a vessel.

In voodoo and other dark arts, vessels were created to be objects that would

house energies and spirits.

They were crafted with extreme care and often imbued with very specific energy

or sometimes curses.

What does it want?

Well, it's hard to say, but it has been said that Juju was crafted by a voodoo

priest on the slave ships coming from Haiti.

And legend has it that Cecil intended to protect his wife, but something went

terribly wrong, and Juju became a vessel for something far more malevolent.

So what you trying to say to Dog, honey?

Well, not just haunted.

Juju is a gateway, a bridge from our world to somewhere far darker, much more

sinister.

This is Cecil's wife. She was found dead under mysterious circumstances. She was

missing her tongue. She was missing her eye.

It's as if she just peeled her face right off.

How do you know so much about this?

You need to understand that when you're dealing with Juju, it's not just

something that can be sold.

He's a vessel of vengeance, and as such, you have started a dark path.

And you, what do you get from this?

Knowledge.

Understanding these artifacts helps us appreciate their history, their power.

They can also serve as a warning.

Yes. And here, in this book, it details the ritual Cecil used.

It is said that once the spirit enters a vessel, he is bound to that object.

How does the spirit enter the vessel?

It will usually mark its victim, possibly a scar, maybe a tribal etching.

It is very important during this Yuletide that anyone with spirits

avoid mirrors or anything that could be a portal to the paranormal.

All right, look, y 'all are crazy. Just price the motherfucking dog and we can

be up out of here.

Well, if there's a spirit that has not yet passed over, it can often... Not yet

passed over? What does that mean?

Well, when we die, there's often a window where our soul can choose to

here in this plane.

Ghosts. Exactly. Or sometimes a soul that has been tortured or tormented to

point that it seeks revenge.

And that's where Juju comes in.

feeding off of the anger and the vengeance and the hatred.

How do you stop it?

How do you stop it?

Well, the only way to break the bond is to actually destroy the vessel. But

that's easier said than done.

Juju was created to be very resilient and withstand...

Time and elements and sometimes any attempt to destroy the best will

just unleash what's inside Inside

Gateway they go both ways Yeah, if

we can cross over to the other side, then we must wonder what can cross over

into art People tend to think of this path between heaven and hell as the one

-way street, but it's more of an open flow on both sides

If Juju completes this tormented soul's bloodlust by Christmas, the tormented

may pass over.

Or it could unleash something far worse than any of us could ever imagine.

The itsy bitsy spider put up the water spout.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Crawl.

Yeah, crawl, bitch.

If you move, bitch, I'll shoot.

Stick your ass right there.

Bitsy Bitsy Spider went up the snow again

I thought we saw Juju outside the cupboard.

Juju is not just a mere doll.

He's a supernatural being, capable of defying the physical confines that we

understand.

So this thing can just move around on its own, is what you're saying, huh?

Well, Juju can manifest in multiple places at once.

His essence is not bound by all physical reality.

He is drawn to those connected to the tormented soul he was created for.

Family, friends, enemies, no one.

So he could come after anyone we know, anybody we care about?

Yes, and with each appearance, his power intensifies.

He is bound by the dark rituals of Christmas Eve, but his influence extends

further.

So what we gonna do now, huh?

Skip don't give a damn about none of this shit.

Surviving the night will be an ordeal.

Juju feeds on fear and chaos.

He will target anyone you hold dear, anyone who's ever wronged you, anyone

connected to the tormented soul.

We must identify who Juju is connected to and it might help us understand how

stop him.

My sister, Nia.

Your sister?

Yeah.

My sister died.

Don't ask me how. We found her body and...

Pretty sure she ordeal so strong That's why we have so much deal

she bought and bought in the hood don't just disappear go to the next line film

So if juju is

possessed by me a spirit than anyone that anything to do with her death is in

trouble

Christmas Day is the key. If we can survive until dawn, his power will

Until then, he will stop at nothing to fulfill his purpose.

What are we supposed to do?

Just sit here, wait around, hope that we can survive through the night?

Yes, but vigilance is key.

Juju will exploit every fear and every weakness, so you need to barricade

yourself. Keep your loved ones close and trust no one.

No. No. What about destroying him? There has to be a way. There has to be a way.

No.

Hey, look, damn all that. When am I going to get my money?

We got to get up out of here.

You brought an accursed artifact into my home.

You just don't get it.

Look,

I do understand.

I need to get ghosts before someone ghosts me.

Jada, if your sister truly is the Tormented Soul, then you need to be very

careful.

Juju may well target you to be his final vessel.

I'll get you your money at dawn. Until then, everyone stay alert, stay...

Vigilant and don't do anything that will allow him to get inside your head.

Yeah.

She was crazy.

Look, I got a plan to get the key back.

But we got to get away from Dr. Damon and Evelyn.

They're both crazy.

Crazy?

No.

Dr. Damien has evidence.

I've seen it.

It's just real.

Evidence? You mean the bullshit script was grabbed with a diagram?

Look, all that is bullshit.

They're just trying to draw the price down.

No.

I could feel it.

She's been right about everything.

Because this is bigger than both of us.

Look.

I'm scared.

Look, I'm being realistic.

This ain't some freaking storybook.

I don't know who the hell Juju or whatever the hell he is, but I do know

will kill us.

And I can't convince you otherwise. I'm leaving with or without you.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

We're in this together.

You can't do that.

Yo, Spike, what's up, man?

Somebody knocked off that meth head in the cold. Shit was crazy.

Foot all dissevered. I'm telling you, something off, cut.

But we good.

What you mean by good?

As in I got you a ride out the city, my nigga. And listen, that shit was hard,

man. I ain't even heard from Silk.

And that tell me something happened.

Let me handle something real quick. Polk, I'm gonna get back at you.

All right, cool.

All right. Set it up. Be careful, bro.

What did Sykes say?

He said he's still expecting us tonight.

We need to lay low until then.

So you're staying?

I don't know, maybe, but...

Look, Nia called me.

She said she wanted to tell me something.

Okay, tell you what.

She said Silk wanted the information bad.

So bad that she thought her life was in danger.

So that's all she said, that she was scared?

I never got a chance to ask.

I said she was gone.

Look, Mia had a secret, and that's what got her killed.

Look, Jada, we don't know that for sure. Maybe it was just some random robbery.

I mean, she was messed up bad. You saw her, J?

Malik, you knew Mia well. Don't you feel it?

There's more to her story that we don't know.

You had a secret, and maybe if we could just figure out what it was, then we

could figure out what it is that Silk's planning.

There's something you're not telling.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

It's like there's always this look in your eyes like you're not telling me

everything.

Look, we just have to make it till dawn, okay?

We just have to figure out how to make it through the evening.

How about the truth, Jada?

Let's put all the cards on the table.

Nia called me.

What? Yeah.

Nia called you?

Yeah.

She called me and told me she needed my help.

Said she was in a bind.

And why didn't she tell me?

Because I didn't know what to believe.

I mean, you see her, Jay.

She's strong as hell out, and drugs bad.

What was I supposed to believe?

The fuck?

Get away from me. Get away from me.

Look, don't get mad at me because your junkie sister called me saying, oh, I

evidence on Silk. That's going to take down Silk.

That don't sound crazy to you?

You know, you're right.

We should get our keys.

The key and we should go our own way.

Just leave.

Leave. Go.

Why wait?

Yeah.

Make any sense.

What are you after?

She just won't fucking listen to me.

Fuck, man.

Never fucking listen to me. I'm just talking.

What do you want?

Juju, I know you have a few minutes before you pass on.

I want to help.

Oh.

Evelyn!

Evelyn!

It's Juju.

The visions are getting stronger.

We've all seen them.

Well, it's not just visions. This is Juju's influence.

We're trapped in his nightmare.

With the Visions being this strong, it won't be long before he chooses his

vessel.

The door's locked.

We can't get out. We're trapped.

What the hell does that mean?

Yeah, we can't get out. We're trapped in here with him.

Evelyn, let us out of here now.

Malik, shut up.

Dana, shut up. They've been playing us since the beginning.

Evelyn, give me the key and let us out of here now.

Evelyn, give me the key now and let us out of here.

I can't.

Malik, you brought Juju here.

We have to let this play out.

If we interrupt this... Evelyn, give me the key. I swear I'll shoot you next.

It's not going to work.

Go pick the stuff now. Pack the goods and let's go. Malik, you don't have to

that.

Cheryl, pack it up, Jada.

Now.

Malik, listen to me. This isn't about the money.

This is Juju messing with us.

We have to find out what we can do to stop him.

I think I know what he wants.

Malik, you're only making things worse. The key is not for the cabinet. It's for

stopping Juju.

Jada, hurry up and check their pocket.

Now, hurry up. Let's go.

You have to be willing to confront your demons, all of us. Whatever it is, we

must atone.

Yes, we all have secrets that we must confront.

What?

You? What's happening?

The gateway to Juju's world is opening.

And the elements from his world are now entering into ours.

Now look, everyone shut the hell up. I'm sick and tired of all this voodoo

bullshit.

Jada, hurry up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What the hell?

Take it out.

What?

You heard what I said. Go take it out. Go confirm all that shit you were

I don't think that's a very good idea.

You look like I give a shit about what you think. Go.

You, get over there now.

Look, we're going to get up out of here.

But until then, I want eyes on you.

I've got you so bad, bitch. I believe in you.

I respect you.

Oh, Sammy, please, I beg you.

No, please.

I respect you.

No, listen to me. I can be your mother.

What the hell is that?

What's going on?

What the

fuck

are you talking about? She's been marked. What does that mean?

Listen. Hey, get up.

What the fuck are you talking about? Jada? What the hell?

What's that mean?

It means that you need to shoot her. I can't shoot her.

Hey, Jada.

Jada, get up. Jada, wake up.

Hey, get up out of here. I can't shoot her.

This isn't Jada. Jada's not here.

What? What's happening?

You need to kill her.

Shoot her. This isn't Jada.

Jada! This is not Jada.

Juju has chosen her as his final vessel.

He is coming after both of us next. We are not going to survive this night, and

it's almost Christmas morning when it turns.

Okay. Okay, this is what we're going to do.

We're going to split up and find Jada.

I'm going to take the upstairs. You take the floor. No, no.

I want us to stay together. I'm not asking. We split up now, or I shoot you

right here. Okay. Okay.

Okay? You take the floor. I'm going to take the upstairs. Go.

SAILOR!

Of course a white bitch falls down.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Up came the sun and dried up all the rain.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

See you, bitches. Bye.

Oh, hell no.

Taylor?

Is that you?

Still with me?

Oh, shit. Taylor.

Snap out of it.

Taylor, don't let it take you.

Shit.

You can't run away from this. Oh, shit.

Man, break it there, bitch.

You're lying.

Nia found out.

She found out that you helped Phil get her hooked on drugs.

Listen, Nia.

Listen, listen. I can explain.

I can explain.

Oh, shit, man.

You were supposed to be her safe haven.

But when she came to you, you betrayed her to save you from this game.

You did wrong.

I didn't have a choice.

They were going to kill me.

You're a coward.

I'm not.

I'm not a coward.

Sorry, okay?

I killed the cop.

What?

Fuck. The one that didn't respond to my 911 call.

He thought I was just another junkie.

Well, Juju... Well, Juju showed him the hell in

his brain.

I didn't know still plans, okay? I promise, I swear.

You should help me get revenge on the drug dealer.

He sold me all those bad drugs.

He made them all pay.

What'd you do?

What'd you do, Jada?

They killed Silk.

Burned down his whole empire.

I had so much fun killing Papa Remy.

The traitor.

He was the one that covered it all up.

You know, this was never my plan, okay?

I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

I tried to help her.

I'll be okay.

Once Nia finishes her naughty.

Fuck, man, look.

Oh, this is my fault.

All of it.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, okay?

I didn't mean it.

There's no forgiveness anymore.

Tell him what to do. No, it ain't.

What do you think?

What's this?

One, two, three, puff!

One, two, three, four.
