Ending:
Hidden behind the locked door of Alessa’s bedroom lays a wide open space with metal grated floors stretching back into infinite darkness; the gateway to the deepest level of the Silent Hill otherworld. Undaunted by the ominous atmosphere, Harry steps through the portal and is overwhelmed by the weight of evil in the air as a great power pulsates around him.
Harry is not alone.
Alessa, a stranger in a wheelchair, and Cybil are in the middle of the room, listening to Dahlia lament Alessa’s attempt to inscribe the talisman of Metraton all over Silent Hill despite the return of the lost soul. Dahlia notices Harry and tells him how grateful she is that he was able to foil Alessa’s plans while saving her own from ruin.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Cybil raises her gun and fires; a single bullet speeds toward Dahlia but shatters harmlessly against an invisible barrier that seems to surround the entire Gillespie family. Displeased and annoyed, Dahlia throws a ball of light at the cop, throwing Cybil backward; she lands hard, collapsing at Harry’s side, unconscious from the force of the blow.
Moved to act by the sight of Cybil’s crumpled form, Harry meets Dahlia’s cold gaze and demands that she tell him where he can find his daughter. As if in response to his demands, a bright white light engulfs Alessa and the stranger in the wheelchair; when it fades, only Alessa remains, clad in a white one piece dress. Awash with success, Dahlia gestures toward the transformed Alessa and tells Harry that Cheryl, as he knew her, no longer exists; she now stands before him restored to her former self.
Bewildered, Harry protests, but Dahlia is undeterred and continues her story. She tells him how Alessa – who nearly burned to death in a fire – has been kept alive these past seven years so she could suffer in an endless nightmare of pain and anger; all for the sake of nurturing the god within her and in preparation of the day when her other half would return to Silent Hill and make her whole again.
Now, a triumphant Dahlia exclaims, Alessa is complete and can finally assume her role as the Mother of God, and bring forth the child-god that will release humanity from pain and return the world to paradise.
Dahlia’s enraptured sermon is cut short by the arrival Michael Kaufmann. Breathless from exertion and enraged at being used, he holds Dahlia at gunpoint and demands that she return things to “how they were before” and vows to destroy her grand plan in retribution for how he has been treated. Dahlia smugly informs him that her plan is already in motion and his threats are meaningless, but her bravado falters as Kaufmann pulls a small glass vial from his pocket; it is filled with a dark, red liquid and Harry, forgotten for the moment, recognizes it as the bottle he had found earlier in the hotel garage.
Dahlia finds the entire situation entirely inconceivable and, with her ego now properly deflated, insists she has destroyed all of the Aglaophotis. Pleased by her discomfiture, Kaufmann boasts that Dahlia only disposed of the Aglaophotis he wanted her to: the small stash he planted in his office for her to find.
Goading Dahlia gleefully, he tells her that there is plenty more where this small sample came from and throws the vial at Alessa; it shatters against her, soaking the front of her dress. To Kaufmann’s horror, Alessa collapses to the floor as her back splits and her body opens like a cocoon to release a large winged creature with a bull’s head: Incubus.
Shattered, Harry cries out to his fallen daughter only to be mocked by a sneering Dahlia who insists that Cheryl no longer exists but that God has finally appeared to reach out and save them.
Ignoring Dahlia’s scorn, Harry rushes to Alessa’s limp form and is met by a vision of Cheryl who thanks him for his love and quickly faded away. The vision of Cheryl snaps Harry out of his panic and leaves him keenly aware of the danger he now faces. His attempt to escape is thwarted by several well-placed lighting strikes from Incubus and the disappearance of both Dahlia and Kaufmann leaves no question as to the fate in store for him. With no other options available to him, Harry draws his gun and fires his remaining bullets at the god. Luck is on Harry’s side as Incubus is unable to hold his form together under the stress of the gunfire; the newly born god breaks into pieces and dissolves into the air.
With Incubus defeated, the power that had previously pervaded the area gone and everything begins to collapse in a storm of fire-rain and earthquakes. Realizing the area, and possibly the entire town, is on the verge of collapse, Harry rushes again to Alessa’s side but any attempt he might have made to save her is thwarted when she forces a new born baby into his arms and insists that he leave quickly. Across the room, Cybil regains consciousness and the pair flees the destruction together. Their escape is aided by Alessa who uses her last bit of strength to protect them from consumed by the raining fireballs and open a portal for them to escape through.
As they hurry up the stairs to freedom, Harry is wonders anxiously why Alessa has entrusted him with this child but swears to raise it as his own.

Ending C-1
Steps to get this ending: Block 08-19 [Nightmare Examination Room] (A) Slowly approach Block 13-02 [Inside the Boat] (B) Go to the Amusement Park Block 16-23 [Black screen] (A) Open the door |
Ending:
The boat rocks gently as Harry watches Cybil walk away. She’s a cop, he tells himself, she can handle this, but as he turns toward the lighthouse, guilt washes over him.
Yes, she is a cop.
Yes, she is probably better equipped to handle this horrible nightmare than he is.
Yes, they had agreed that splitting up was the best course of action.
And, no, he didn’t have a clue what he was doing.
But he was pretty sure that dealing with horror-movie monsters and a twisted town straight out of Steven King’s nightmares wasn’t exactly standard training at The Academy, so he doubted Cybil did either.
The bottom line was that she was putting herself in harm’s way for the sake of his daughter when any sane person would have run in the other direction as fast as their feet would carry them. He can’t let her go to the amusement park alone, and the lighthouse will still be there later.
His mind made up, Harry leaves the Lakeside district – and the lighthouse – behind, and follows after Cybil.
When he arrives at the amusement park, all of the rides have been turned on and the entire complex is awash in neon and movement.
Except for the merry-go-round; there the proud ponies and glittering saddles stand silent and dark. As he approaches the ride, he notices a wheelchair and Cybil slumped over within it. Concerned, Harry rushes toward her, but as he draws closer, Cybil stirs in the chair, stands, slowly raises her gun, and points it at his chest, starring blankly the entire time. Harry’s heart skips a beat and he stops where he is, frozen in shock.
The seconds tick by in silence as Harry struggles to regain his balance… and his voice.
Nonplussed, Harry pleads with Cybil for an explanation, even as his mind churns to provide its own but – as if possessed – Cybil remains stoically silent, and there are no answers in her blood red eyes.
Or are there?
[Version A: If Harry took the the bottle and the red liquid in Alchemilla Hospital ]
-
Harry’s mind flashes back to Alchemilla Hospital and the curious red liquid he found in the Director’s Office. With no better ideas at his disposal, Harry reaches into his pocket for the small bottle and waves it in front of Cybil’s face. The gun doesn’t waver, but surprise and hope play across Cybil’s face and her eyes well with tears. As she cocks the gun, her eyes implore him to act and Harry responds by splashing her with some of the mysterious red fluid.
The effect is immediate: white smoke rises from Cybil’s body wherever the fluid hits and her face twists in agony. Her body crumples in pain and she falls, face first, to the ground. As Harry closes the gap between them, a small creature digs its way out of Cybil’s back and begins to crawl away. Venting his fury and disgust, Harry stomps on the parasite – violently and repeatedly – until it is dead….
[Version B: If Harry failed to take the bottle or the red liquid in Alchemilla Hospital]
-
Harry’s mind flashes back to Alchemilla Hospital and the curious red liquid he saw in the Director’s Office. His whole body goes cold at the thought that it might have held the solution to Cybil’s condition and he wishes desperately that he had thought to take it with him, but his mind snaps back to the present as Cybil cocks her gun. He pleads again for her to lower the gun, but Cybil remains impassive and fires stiffly.
Left with no alternatives, Harry returns fire and Cybil drops to the ground. Blood spreads slowly across her chest and back, staining her uniform and Harry drops to his knees at her side, overcome with grief. He had followed Cybil to help because he didn’t want to see her get hurt in pursuit of his daughter; because he didn’t want to see her fall prey to the monsters of Silent Hill.
He never thought he would be that monster.
As he kneels at Cybil’s side, overcome with grief and guilt, a small creature forces its way from her back and drops to the ground. Too overwrought to think, let alone move, Harry watches impassively as the parasite slithers off into the darkness…
Before Harry can decide what to do next, Alessa appears out of the darkness. After everything he has just been through, Harry finds it hard to be surprised; instead he is just angry and tired. Hoping to bring this nightmare to an end, he confronts Alessa and demands that she let Cheryl go. Alessa’s response comes in the form of a mighty blast that throws Harry back 30 meters. Stunned and helpless, Harry lays sprawled on his back and he wonders bleakly how he can ever get close enough to someone so powerful to be effective.
How would he ever get his daughter back?
As if in response, a bright light erupts from his pocket: the Flauros is reacting to Alessa’s power. Removing the Flauros from his pocket, Harry watches in surprise as the small pyramid-looking device floats above him, spinning and rotating furiously. Without warning, a focused beam of light shoots out from the device and pierces Alessa’s body, her body rocks back violently in response to the blow and Alessa crumples to the ground like a rag doll.
Harry’s surprise continues as Dahlia Gillespie appears out of nowhere and grins disconcertingly over the now-helpless little girl. Finding his equilibrium, Harry presses Dahlia with the same questions he posed to Alessa earlier but Dahlia is disturbingly focused on Alessa and doesn’t respond. She scolds Alessa, calling her a ghastly little pest, and tells her that her games have come to an end. With arrogant self-depreciation, Dahlia admits culpability for not having realized how much Alessa has grown, but she tells the girl smugly that she won’t make the same mistake again and that she won’t escape their spell again.
Struggling to sit up, Alessa can only respond with a weak “Mama…” and her shoulders slump sadly.
Harry’s mind reels in shock: mama? Is Dahlia, Alessa’s mother?
Harry tries to digest this new information as Dahlia continues to scold Alessa. She begs Alessa to leave her alone, but Dahlia will not be deterred and before Harry can react, both Alessa and Dahlia disappear.
As the darkness swallows him, Dahlia’s words echo in Harry’s mind: there is one thing left I need you to do for me…
Harry wakes to Lisa’s concerned face. Confused, he looks around and realizes he’s back in the hospital. He presses Lisa for answers, but she has none to give and is more concerned with telling him about her visit to the hospital’s basement.
Harry considers trying to change the subject, but given his track record lately, he doesn’t expect it’ll do any good and let’s Lisa speak.
She tells him that she used to be Kaufmann’s assistant and that he told her never to go near the basement. On the one occasion when she had asked about what went on there, Kaufmann changed dramatically, becoming so irritable and angry with the hospital staff that people went out of their way to avoid him.
When they were alone – Lisa continues – he spoke to her in religious terms and warned her that the end of the world was coming; that humans would disappear and only he would survive; that what we saw with our eyes was all false. Shortly thereafter, Kaufmann killed himself. He set his body on fire and his remains were so charred it left his body practically unidentifiable.
Stunned, Harry insists that’s impossible: he had spoken with Michael Kaufmann only few hours ago in this very hospital.
Lisa concedes that that Kaufmann may still be alive; his death was so mysterious and the body was so damaged, that the police deemed it a suicide only because they lacked evidence for any other conclusion.
Harry wonders aloud whether Kaufmann could really have found a way to fake his death or if, perhaps, the man he met earlier isn’t really Kaufmann, but Lisa is now convinced that Kaufmann is alive and well and hiding in the basement of Alchemilla Hospital.
Afraid to explore the basement by herself, Lisa asks Harry to help her. Harry isn’t necessarily convinced that Kaufmann is still alive, but if he is, he might be able to tell him something about Cheryl and even if he isn’t, there is a chance that Cheryl is being held in the basement. Either way, exploring the basement looks like his best course of action at this point; so he agrees.
As the pair enters the basement, Lisa notices that the Seal of Metatron has been drawn on entrance and as they push further, they find that the symbol is repeated on the floor and along the walls of the hallway. Harry, who continues to be the victim of Dahlia’s misinformation, tells Lisa how he has seen the “evil Seal of Sameal” all over town. He figures, aloud, that if the seal is here, then Alessa is here as well.
Lisa becomes enraged at the mention of Alessa’s name and demands to know how Harry has heard of her. Harry tries to explain to Lisa how he has seen Alessa multiple times today and how heard her call Dahlia “Mama”, but Lisa is convinced she can no longer trust him and has stopped listening. Lost in her rage, Lisa can barely contain herself. She rails against him, insisting that she has always done as she was told, as a true believer should. How she was obedient to the scripture even after she had lost everything. Her faith crumbling, Lisa pounds on the wall in a fury, shouting that there is no such thing as “god”; that there are only ugly humans, ruled by their ugly desires.
Bewildered, Harry asks Lisa what she knows that he doesn’t, but her response is venomous. She sneers at Harry that he is the just like “them”; that he thinks he knows everything.
Bewildered Harry asked Lisa if she knew something he didn’t and her only response was that Harry was the same as “them” and thought he knew everything. Struggling to get through to Lisa, Harry debates whether he should as her directly who “they” are, or use Alessa’s diary to get Lisa’s attention, but it doesn’t matter.
Lisa’s rage is unstoppable. She holds her anger out like a weapon vowing vengeance on the man that used her and Harry for helping him. Harry wonders briefly if “that man” was Kaufmann, but quickly moves to more immediate concerns, like calming Lisa down, but before he can do anything, Lisa’s rage evaporates and her face twists with amazement and horror.
Lisa’s gaze is fixed on a point behind Harry as she pleads for forgiveness, insisting that she had only done what she was told.
Harry turns around, to see what has frightened Lisa so completely, but the hallway goes completely dark and his flashlight blinks out. With the hallway shrouded in black, Harry is helpless as Lisa’s agonized scream is cut short by a low how and the crunch of bones and meat.
Terrified, Harry runs, but the darkness is so disorienting that he can’t be sure if he is running toward or away from the noise. His run is brought to an abrupt halt when he crashes into a wall with a large door. The light has returned and the Seal of Metatron stretches before him. Looking back the way he came, Harry is distressed to see that the path has vanished and he now stands trapped in a 2 x 2 meter cube.
Powered by the adrenaline in his system, Harry wrenches the door open and steps through into the darkness. As he clears the doorway, he is blinded by a pair of headlights that appear out of the darkness and bare down on him. With no time to react, Harry is helpless as the car hits him; his body bounces off of the hood like a ball and smashes into the rocks behind him. In is failed attempt to avoid him, the car is sent crashing through the guardrail and careening down the side of a cliff.
As Harry fights the searing pain in his ribs to draw his last few breaths, he thinks of Cheryl and he wonders helplessly what will happen to her now as the darkness claims him…
… as the darkness clears, Harry struggles to sit up. Using the steering wheel to push himself back he glances at the passenger side and his heart stops for a minute: the passenger side door is open and Cheryl is gone!

Terrified, Harry runs, but the darkness is so disorienting that he can’t be sure if he is running toward or away from the noise. His run is brought to an abrupt halt when he crashes into a wall with a large door. The light has returned and the Seal of Metatron stretches before him. Looking back the way he came, Harry is distressed to see that the path has vanished and he now stands trapped in a 2 x 2 meter cube.
Terrified, distraught, and broken, Harry slumps against the large door listlessly. His mind is numb and he barely reacts as a right light envelops him. As his temperature rises, Harry’s body is wrapped in flames. Unable, or unwilling, to escape, Harry thinks of his daughter and wonders helplessly who will help her now as he is burned alive.

Ending:
The boat rocks gently as Harry watches Cybil walk away. She’s a cop, he tells himself, she can handle this, and it was a mutual decision to split up. Harry casts one last look in Cybil’s direction and then heads purposefully toward the lighthouse.
Harry climbs the stairs to the lighthouse and is shocked by what he finds: the floor is covered with the Seal of Sameal and Alessa stands in its center, poised as if she has just finished drawing it. Dahlia’s earlier words echo in Harry’s mind:
The Seal of Sameal is evil… the crest is slowly eroding the town… Alessa must not succeed in her attempt to cover the town with the seal.
Not sure what to do, Harry stands where he is and looks at Alessa. She simply stares back at him and Harry can’t help but think that she looks sad. Without warning, Alessa turns and leaps from the lighthouse. Startled, Harry shouts to her and rushes to the edge where Alessa was standing. He looks over the edge and sees a pale light shining through the overlapping layers of fog; he wonders if this is why Alessa jumped and if he would find her on the other side of the light if he were to jump after her.
Harry eyes the pale light and considers jumping, but something feels very wrong about the whole situation and he decides against it; Cheryl is his priority, not Alessa, and he is starting to think that splitting up was a very bad idea. He heads back to the boat where he and Cybil parted ways, determined to catch-up with her, and makes his way to the amusement park.
When he arrives at the amusement park, all of the rides have been turned on and the entire complex is awash in neon and movement.
Except for the merry-go-round; there the proud ponies and glittering saddles stand silent and dark. As he approaches the ride, he notices a wheelchair and Cybil slumped over within it. Concerned, Harry rushes toward her, but as he draws closer, Cybil stirs in the chair, stands, slowly raises her gun, and points it at his chest, starring blankly the entire time. Harry’s heart skips a beat and he stops where he is, frozen in shock.
The seconds tick by in silence as Harry struggles to regain his balance… and his voice.
Nonplussed, Harry pleads with Cybil for an explanation, even as his mind churns to provide its own but – as if possessed – Cybil remains stoically silent, and there are no answers in her blood red eyes.
Or are there?
[Version A: If Harry took the the bottle and the red liquid in Alchemilla Hospital ]
Harry’s mind flashes back to Alchemilla Hospital and the curious red liquid he found in the Director’s Office. With no better ideas at his disposal, Harry reaches into his pocket for the small bottle and waves it in front of Cybil’s face. The gun doesn’t waver, but surprise and hope play across Cybil’s face and her eyes well with tears. As she cocks the gun, her eyes implore him to act and Harry responds by splashing her with some of the mysterious red fluid.
The effect is immediate: white smoke rises from Cybil’s body wherever the fluid hits and her face twists in agony. Her body crumples in pain and she falls, face first, to the ground. As Harry closes the gap between them, a small creature digs its way out of Cybil’s back and begins to crawl away. Venting his fury and disgust, Harry stomps on the parasite – violently and repeatedly – until it is dead….
[Version B: If Harry failed to take the bottle or the red liquid in Alchemilla Hospital]
Harry’s mind flashes back to Alchemilla Hospital and the curious red liquid he saw in the Director’s Office. His whole body goes cold at the thought that it might have held the solution to Cybil’s condition and he wishes desperately that he had thought to take it with him, but his mind snaps back to the present as Cybil cocks her gun. He pleads again for her to lower the gun, but Cybil remains impassive and fires stiffly.
Left with no alternatives, Harry returns fire and Cybil drops to the ground. Blood spreads slowly across her chest and back, staining her uniform and Harry drops to his knees at her side, overcome with guilt. He had asked Cybil for her help because he wasn’t sure he could do this on his own, but he hadn’t stopped to consider the consequences.
He never wanted to see her get hurt in pursuit of his daughter.
He never wanted to see her fall prey to the monsters of Silent Hill.
He never thought he would be that monster.
As he kneels at Cybil’s side, overcome with grief and guilt, a small creature forces its way from her back and drops to the ground. Too overwrought to think, let alone move, Harry watches impassively as the parasite slithers off into the darkness…
Before Harry can decide what to do next, Alessa appears out of the darkness. After everything he has just been through, Harry finds it hard to be surprised; instead he is just angry and tired. Hoping to bring this nightmare to an end, he confronts Alessa and demands that she let Cheryl go. Alessa’s response comes in the form of a mighty blast that throws Harry back 30 meters. Stunned and helpless, Harry lays sprawled on his back and he wonders bleakly how he can ever get close enough to someone so powerful to be effective.
How would he ever get his daughter back?
As if in response, a bright light erupts from his pocket: the Flauros is reacting to Alessa’s power. Removing the Flauros from his pocket, Harry watches in surprise as the small pyramid-looking device floats above him, spinning and rotating furiously. Without warning, a focused beam of light shoots out from the device and pierces Alessa’s body, her body rocks back violently in response to the blow and Alessa crumples to the ground like a rag doll.
Harry’s surprise continues as Dahlia Gillespie appears out of nowhere and grins disconcertingly over the now-helpless little girl. Finding his equilibrium, Harry presses Dahlia with the same questions he posed to Alessa earlier but Dahlia is disturbingly focused on Alessa and doesn’t respond. She scolds Alessa, calling her a ghastly little pest, and tells her that her games have come to an end. With arrogant self-depreciation, Dahlia admits culpability for not having realized how much Alessa has grown, but she tells the girl smugly that she won’t make the same mistake again and that she won’t escape their spell again.
Struggling to sit up, Alessa can only respond with a weak “Mama…” and her shoulders slump sadly.
Harry’s mind reels in shock: mama? Is Dahlia, Alessa’s mother?
Harry tries to digest this new information as Dahlia continues to scold Alessa. She begs Alessa to leave her alone, but Dahlia will not be deterred and before Harry can react, both Alessa and Dahlia disappear.
As the darkness swallows him, Dahlia’s words echo in Harry’s mind: there is one thing left I need you to do for me…
…
Harry stops writing for a moment and stretches, thinking. Seven years is a long time to remember the details of an event – even something as memorable as his ordeal in Silent Hill – and he doesn’t want to fabricate anything just for the sake of telling a story. He reads over the manuscript and, satisfied, he decides that the showdown with Cybil is a good place to stop, especially since his memories are to vague and shattered to go much farther anyway; he gathers his papers together and seals them in an envelope as a disgruntled voice calls to him from the doorway.
He turns around and sees that Cheryl is pouting at him. Harry apologizes for the delay but promises that he has finished and they will leave soon. Mollified, Cheryl rushes excitedly to her room and begins pulling out her best outfits, to try and decide what she will wear for their trip.
Laughing at his daughter’s excitement, Harry heads for the mailbox.
The phone rings as Harry heads for the mailbox, but he’s promised Cheryl no more delays so he lets it ring and continues to the mailbox; Cheryl can answer it if she wants to, but he has a promise to keep.
Cheryl is still debating her wardrobe choice when she hears the phone. She calls to her father, but when he doesn’t respond, she answers the phone herself and is surprised to learn that her father is on the other end.
Harry is extremely apologetic; he tells her that he needs to meet with an acquaintance but he will be home very soon and that on their way to the amusement park they will need to make a quick stop.
In Silent Hill…

The phone rings as Harry heads for the mailbox. He’s promised Cheryl no more delays, but it’s probably his publisher and, no doubt, he can make quick work of the call considering he has the manuscript, stamped, addressed, and in-hand.
Harry hurries to the phone to catch it before it stops ringing but is greeted by silence when he answers. Irritated by the prank, Harry expresses his irritation and threatens to hang up when the voice on the other end finally speaks.
Harry clenches the phone, trembling as a vision of a ringing blue phone in Midwich Elementary forms in his mind’s eye and the pieces of his fragmented memory come together like a jigsaw puzzle. He rushes up the stairs to Cheryl’s room and tells her that something urgent has come up, that he has to leave and the trip to the amusement park must be delayed. Cheryl’s disappointment is palpable and the disappointment on her face causes another memory to surface: a sad little girl standing in the middle of a lighthouse floor.
Feeling that he owes Cheryl an explanation, Harry tells her that he is going to a lighthouse in Silent Hill, to help someone in trouble, and asks if she will come with him. Cheryl agrees and they hurry from the house together, determined not to waste any more time.

Ending:
Harry leaves Alchemilla Hospital to find the “other” church that Dahlia had mentioned. Thinking back on his previous exploration of the town, Harry decides to head for the antique shop, convinced it houses the secret to the church’s location. He is surprised to find Cybil at the antique shop when he gets there; he thought she had left ages ago to get back-up and he tells her so. She follows him into the antique shop, telling him that all the roads out of Silent Hill are blocked so she’s all the back-up there is.
They search the shop together and find a secret passage behind a shelf at the very back of the room. The passage is completely dark and only wide enough to accommodate one person at a time, and Cybil argues that, as a cop, she should be the one to go through first.
Harry disagrees but eventually relents and promises to wait in the antique shop for her to return. The respite is short lived; moments after Cybil enters the passage, the light within the room begins to flicker and strange shadow close in on Harry. Harry struggles against the shadows but they wrap themselves around his neck and strangle him until he loses consciousness.
Harry wakes with a start, unsure of how much time has passed. He is lying on the floor, numb from the cold, and Cybil still hasn’t returned. Concerned, Harry pushes himself up from the floor against the protests of his deadened limbs and stumbles toward the passage after Cybil. The passage is dark, but not long and when he reaches the end, Harry’s tired eyes are dazzled by a bright light that turns out to be the flame of a large candle.
The candle sits on an alter giving off green smoke, but it is the sight of Cybil lying in a pool of blood that unnerves Harry. He rushes to her side but loses consciousness before he can render any aid.
This time, Harry wakes in a soft bed, warm blankets, and a concerned Lisa leaning over him. She asks him how he is doing and he realizes he is back at the hospital. He wonders if Cybil’s death was a dream and asks Lisa if she knows where Cybil is.
Before Harry can get any real answers, he blacks out again. When he recovers, he is no longer at the hospital; he is back in the passage of the Other Church, slumped on the ground by the altar. Harry’s mind is reeling and he searches the passage frantically, wondering if he had imagined it all, but there is no trace of Cybil, alive or dead, and no indication that she was ever there. Unnerved, Harry leaves the church and heads back to Alchemilla Hospital. He finds Lisa again who is relieved that he is safe and thankful for the company, but Michael Kaufmann bursts into the room suddenly, cutting their reunion short. He tells them that all the roads leaving out of Silent Hill are completely cut off. Feeling a little less disoriented, Harry asks Kaufmann if he has seen his daughter, Cheryl.
Kaufmann responds noncommittally and declares that he is going to the Director’s office to get some sleep. He suggests that Harry and Lisa follow his example and tells them they can think of an escape plan in the morning. Lisa and Harry try to follow Kaufmann’s advice, but the temperature has continued to drop outside and the room heater is broken, making sleep impossible. Lisa remembers that there are some oil heaters in the reception area and Harry heads off in search of warmth.
He finds two oil heaters behind the reception desk but as he grabs them he feels a strange presence behind him. He turns and sees the shadowed figure of a girl appear out of the darkness. He approaches the figure but it vanishes and a gunshot echoes down the hall.
Stricken, Harry realizes that the shot came from the direction of the examination room. He rushes back and finds Lisa’s corpse on the floor. Convinced that the mysterious girl is somehow involved, Harry turns to go back to where she appeared but another gruesome sight is waiting for him in the hall: Kaufmann is dead, slumped on the floor and framed by gunshot splatters on the walls.
Overcome with despair, Harry stands numbly in the hall and slowly crumples to the floor, covering his face with his hands.
The soft chime of the elevator cuts through his self-absorption and he looks up to see Cheryl standing in front of him, holding a gun in her small hands.
Too numb even to be horrified, Harry tells Cheryl that if she is planning to kill him, she had better just get it over with. Cheryl raises the gun, but a voice from within the elevator stops her and demands she return the gun to Harry. Dahlia steps forward to stand next to Cheryl and stares coldly down on Harry.
Her tone is mocking as she recounts Harry’s fruitless search of the town: he had searched Silent Hill, violating its church and the privacy of its few remaining people; all under the pretext of searching for his missing daughter.
Yet he had been unable to find a single child in an empty town.
She tells him that the gods have passed judgment on him; that his failure made him unworthy. She stands possessively over Cheryl who holds the gun out to Harry. She asks him if it is his; she found it on the floor.
Harry realizes with a shock that the gun Cheryl is carrying is the same gun that Cybil gave him. Incredulous, he reaches into his pocket but finds it empty. Confused, he takes the gun from Cheryl and checks it.
There is only one round left.
Harry struggles to make sense of what is happening and, unbidden, memories flood his mind:
Sneaking up behind Cybil and shooting her in the neck…
Promising to fetch the heaters for Lisa but then sneaking back and shooting her in the neck…
Kaufmann, roused by the gunshot, rushing from his office and into the examination room…
Following Kaufmann into the hall as he tried to escape and gunning him down as he ran…
Confused and grief stricken, Harry looks beseechingly at Cheryl who retreats from him and clings to Dahlia for comfort. Unmoved, Dahlia continues to stare down on Harry coldly and tells him to hurry up and make the kill if he is going to; there’s no one else left it town.
Moments later, Harry Mason flies through the mist and over Silent Hill. Finally free of the town and its horrors, he continues into the stars unmindful of Cheryl’s fate or that of the body slumped over the desk in his study… a handgun held in its right hand.

Overcome with despair, Harry stands numbly in the hall and slowly crumples to the floor, covering his face with his hands.
The soft chime of the elevator cuts through his self-absorption and he looks up to see Cheryl standing in front of him, holding a gun in her small hands.
Startled out of his grief by the sight of his daughter carrying a gun, Harry jumps to his feet and demands that she give him the gun.
Cheryl smiles at him coldly and points the gun at his forehead.
Harry braces himself for the impact, but when the shot rings out, it is Cheryl falls to the floor. Harry looks down, numbly, at his daughter’s lifeless body lying at his feet and then up to see Cybil Bennett with a smoking gun in her hand.
Cybil is relieved to have reached Harry in time, but when she rushes to his side, Harry snaps and grabs her by the throat. Furious and inconsolable, Harry is determined to exact revenge for the murder of his daughter. Cybil pleads with Harry to look again at the body on the floor, insisting that she has not killed his daughter.
Harry looks again and is startled to see the body of Dahlia Gillespie lying on the floor. Confused and disoriented, he releases Cybil and stumbles back, unsure of whom or what he can trust.
Cybil asks Harry to listen as she explains that she overheard Dahlia, Kaufmann, and Lisa arguing about trafficking White Claudia in Silent Hill. Dahlia had demanded her share, but Kaufmann had refused, insisting that Dahlia and Lisa had been working against him. Before she could intervene, Dahlia pulled out a gun and killed them both, presumably to avoid having to share the profits and to avoid future difficulties. Cybil had tailed Dahlia to the hospital and arrived just in time to save Harry from a similar fate.
Harry eyes Cybil warily, unsure of what to make of her story, but when she tell him that she’s found Cheryl and intends to reunite them, he follows her anyway.
What does he have to lose?
