How are ya doing?
Look, I'm sorry to call you so late.
I'm gonna be in town
the next couple of days
and I was wondering if I could stay
at your place for awhile.
No, everything's cool.
I, I just need to get out
of the city for awhile.
Hey, great.
I'll be there in the morning.
Thanks, Deke.
Bye.

- Can I help you?
- [Tyge] Murdock?
Brett Murdock?
- Yeah.
He moved out two, three years ago.
I talked to him once before we moved in.
You his son?
(slow piano music)
- I must have the wrong address.
I'm, I'm sorry.
(slow piano music)
- Damn good to see ya, buddy.
You get lost?
- What?
- I thought you were getting
here earlier this morning?
- Oh, yeah, I did a little sight seeing.
So all this is yours now?
- Yep, the folks moved
out about five years ago.
Dad's work moved him to London
so they let me keep the place.
I can barely afford it, but
someday, it'll all be mine.
You sounded pretty weird last night.
You're not running from the law
by any chance are ya?
(laughs)
- [Tyge] I'm afraid not.
- [Deke] Damn
Ah well, you look like
you could use a drink.
I'm buying.
- Can I get you anything else?
- I don't think so.
- All right, enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.
I guess it's been, what, 10 years?
- Has it been that long?
- [Deke] Shit, we're gettin' old.
- I haven't heard anything
about a reunion yet.
Have you?
- No, and that's fine with me.
Shit, half of our class
were fucking morons.
Those were the ones that never left town.
I see them every day.
Case in point.
You remember Zack Ledanakoh, right?
- [Tyge] I think so.
- Oh sure you do.
He ran the school radio station.
You know the one you couldn't even pick up
in the parking lot?
- [Tyge] Okay.
- Zack!
- [Zack] Hey, you just get here?
- [Deke] Yep, thought
we'd get a couple drinks
and do some catching up.
- Cool.
- [Zack] Sup Tyge, how you been?
I heard you moved to L.A. years ago.
- [Tyge] L.A.'s not really my scene.
- [Zack] So how long are
you going to be in town?
- I'm not sure yet.
- Still making movies?
Oh, I heard there are still a few copies
floating around of that
shitty horror movie you made
back when we were in high school.
A friend of mine down
at Sunny's Video Shack,
remember that place?
- Yeah, I used to work there.
- He told me they still have a copy of it.
What was the name of that thing?
Dark something.
It was Dark...
- Dark Aura.
- That's right, man, oh
geez, that shit was painful.
- Whew, it's been an experience talking
with you again, Zack.
I gotta make a phone call.
Are you ready for another one?
- [Deke] I'm still working on this one.
- All right.
- What?
- What was that?
Why are you acting like a little bitch?
- Relax, I was just playing with him.
- [Deke] Anyway, Tyge is
going to be staying with us
for a couple of days.
- What?
Why?
- He's my best friend.
I haven't seen him in years.
- Yeah, well he gives me the creeps.
- Zack, no offense byt sometimes
you give me the creeps.
- Oh no, I am not coming
down there tonight.
Look, hello.
Hello, I can barely hear ya, man.
Oh, look, can't this wait until tomorrow?
I mean I already gave them a statement.
Look, are they charging you with anything?
Well then tell them I
wiLL be there tomorrow.
You're my agent, make something up.
That's what you do best.
(sighs)
What time do you want me to be there?
(sighs)
Hello.
John.
Hello!
(sighs)
Oh shit.
Ashley.
- Don't hit me.
- Oh, no, I just...
I lost the signal.
What are you doing here?
- I came to get a drink.
- No, I mean, what are
you doing back in town?
- Is that all you can say?
- It's been a long time, Ash.
I just didn't expect us to
run into each other like this,
you know, I mean, I
haven't seen you since--
- Graduation.
10 years.
We're gettin' old.
(slow piano music)
Well, I think I'm just going to go.
- Well wait, I mean, how have you been?
I mean, are you here visiting family?
- Kinda.
Well, my sister's dead.
- Diana.
My god.
- Wrong one.
- Mikki?
Ash, what happened?
- Well, she killed herself.
- I'm...
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, I don't, I don't
know why I came here.
I've got all this running around to do
and everything.
I'm staying at my parents
house while I'm in town.
Do you need the number?
- I remember it.
Call me.
If you want.
- Are you gonna be okay?
- I'll be fine.
- Whoa, calm down loverboy.
Was that who I think it was?
Yeah.
(laughs)
And how is the fine Ms. Lomack doing?
Is something wrong?
- She said her sister
Mikki just passed away.
What?
- Mikke died back in '98, man.
- But--
- [Deke] I shit you not.
She was living with her
grandparents at the time.
She didn't get along
with her folks too well.
Anyway, the police found
her in the basement.
Cuts all over her body.
Blood everywhere.
Oh, you know what's real
fucked up about that?
On the night that Mikki
died, her grandparents
were killed in a car accident.
Brake failure I think.
(scoffs)
Lovely story huh?
- I never head anything about that.
And Ash just made it sound
like it happened yesterday.
- Well, come on, let's go.
I can only take Zack in small doses.
- So why didn't Zack get into radio?
I seem to remember him
being pretty good at it.
- [Deke] You mean that was the only thing
he was good at.
Well, Zack was in radio for awhile.
The local news, sports
broadcast here and there.
Nothing too spectacular.
(sighs)
When his aunt, uncle, and cousin died,
he pretty much lost interest in that.
Pretty much lost interest in everything.
- Oh yeah.
Weren't they some of those
people that were murdered
back up in Ditmer back in '93?
What?
(upbeat rock music)
Damn.
What a slob.
So how long has Zack been living with you?
- [Deke] Too long.
He was going through a lot of shit
so I thought I'd be helping the guy out
by letting him move in, you know?
That's what I get for thinkin'.
("I Sold My Soul To A
Frankenhooker" by Frankenhookers)
- What's this?
- [Deke] Hang on.
Ah, here it is.
That marking is for the vulture deity.
- Excuse me, the what?
- Listen to this.
(suspenseful music)
- [Male Voice On Tap]
A shocking and bizarre
event in Jefferson County last night.
Wendell Ledanakoh age 39
brutally murdered and partially
devoured six victims including
her husband, Gary Ledanakoh.
The mass murder took place
on the Ledanakoh's property
in Ditmer, Missouri.
Authorities were told of
the killings by Mikki Lomack
age 22.
Lomack was with the party
that was murdered but managed
to escape.
Authorities who arrived to take
Mrs. Ledanakoh into custody
say that Ledanakoh was
obviously in a state
of deteriorated mental health.
Ledanakoh is currently being held
at Harrison Mental
Institution in St. Louis.
In other news...
The Gateway Arch.
- [Female On Tape] You are
listening to KMJW News and--
- Bizarre huh?
- That's how he found
ut about the murders?
I had no idea.
- Gary, Lynn, and Karen
was his only family.
It really fucked him up.
That was the end of his radio career.
- So what's the deal with these notebooks?
Is Zack researching for something?
- They belonged to his Uncle Gary.
After the investigation, the police
just handed them over to Zack.
Those two used to do all
kinds of shit together.
Anything with a history to it.
They'd go to civil war reenactments.
They'd research local ghost stories.
That's what got him interested
in all of the Indian
legends and myths about the area.
- What's the deal with these rocks.
- Zack's notebooks say
that there was a Cherokee
tribe that settled in the area,
after they fled the Trail of
Tears, back in the late 1830's.
One of the tribe's
spiritual elders started
messing around with this black magic
and communicating with demons.
Each of the symbols are
supposed to represent
a different demon that the elders
had cahoots with.
oN the morning of their annual harvest,
the tribe went out to the fields and found
that all of their crops had been turned
into stones.
Each of the stones had
an animal marking on it.
Just like this one.
- That's creepy.
- [Deke] The elder was
killed and most of the tribe
fled the land, fearing
now that it was cursed.
Most of 'em froze to death that winter.
- Damn.
- The rocks became
passageways for the demons
that now roam the land to
possess anyone that make
physical contact with them.
The demon whose symbol is on the rock
is the one that possesses you.
The demon supposedly won't awaken and have
the ability to possess you
unless one of the descendents
of that Cherokee elder guy
steps onto the cursed land.
I think Zack and Gary made translations
for over 40 demons in all.
- Huh.
They've got the spider.
And the scorpion.
The bobcat's.
And the boar.
Snake.
And the wolf.
The vulture.
Ah, leech.
Thanks.
Here's a weird one.
- What?
- The demon man.
If someone touches a rock
with the man demon symbol
on it, they are possessed
by the most dangerous
demon of all.
Someone possessed by the
man demon won't attack
and kill like an animal.
It thinks.
It will plan ways to have as much control
over as many other human
beings as possible.
All that from touching a rock?
What's this stuff about
invisible barriers?
- Let me see.
Oh, yeah, that's just
part of the legend, man.
- Hmmph.
So does Zack really think that
there's a connection between
these stories and his family being killed?
- Think it'll make a good movie, Tyge?
- Dammit, you scared the shit out of me.
What are you doing home so soon?
(sighs)
- Why do you think?
- You got fired again.
What is that, three jobs in two months?
What, are you going for
some kind of record?
- You couldn't resist, could ya?
- Zack, I was just telling
him about some Indian legends.
It's no big deal.

(answering machine beeps)
- [Judy On Answering
Machine] Mason, hello,
it's mom.
Just calling to see if you're planning
on stopping by to see me on Sunday.
Your Fall break starts today, right?
If I'm not here when
you show up, I might be
stopping by the old Lomack's farm.
I've got some clients coming by next week
to take a look at the place,
if you can believe it.
Well, I guess that's it.
Call me when you get this.
Say hi to Jessica for me.
I can't wait to meet her.
I love you, baby, bye.
(slow piano music)
- Friends?
- Sure.
- See ya tomorrow, Mason.
(TV plays in background)
(doorbell rings)
(upbeat rock music)
- Hi.
- You up for a ride?
("My Wish" by Somnia)
- There's the old pharmacy
where my mom used to work.
- It looks a little run down.
- It's been abandoned for years.
I don't know why they
haven't torn it down yet.
I remember liking Autumn a
lot more when I was little.
I used to take these walks in the woods
behind my parent's house.
I remember how quiet the woods were.
Not a sound.
The leaves were gone.
The woods looked like
they stretch on forever.
I can't stand the quiet now.
- So where are we going anyway?
I'm almost afraid to ask.
- [Ashley] You'll see.
You'll get a kick out of it, trust me.
- Like that ever got me anywhere.
- Nice to see some things haven't changed.
Same old Tyge.
- Where are we?
Ash.
(eerie piano music)
Are you okay?
What is this place?
- It's the old Ledanakoh property.
- Are you shittin' me?
Hey, hey, where do you think you're goin'?
- I'm going to take a look around.
Are you coming or not?
- What do you think
you're going to find, Ash?
I mean, come on, I don't
think you really want
to be putting yourself through this.
- Aren't you the least bit curious?
(sighs)
(sighs)
(sinister music)
There's nothing there.
There's nothing.
There's nothing there.
There's nothing there.
(sinister music)
(gasping)
(screams)
- Ashley!
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Hey, Ashley.
Come here, come here.
Wake up, Ash, come on.
(Ashley screams)
- No, no!
- It's me.
- No, no.
- It's me, it's all right.
- The blood.
- Your nose is bleeding,
your nose is bleeding.
Are you okay, Ash?
- No, where's--
- [Tyge] What, did you see something?
- I guess I got dizzy.
(sinister piano music)
- Here.
Take these.
And you should probably
still see a doctor.
- Oh, I'll live.
- Here.
Take a look at these.
(macabre music)
- Where did you find them?
- Well, Deke Myrick showed
me this at his house
last night.
Remember Zack Ledanakoh?
Well, he's living with Deke, he's got
a whole bunch of these.
I found this one up at
the Ledanakoh place.
- Why are you keeping them?
- Well, Deke was telling
me this really weird story
about where they came
from and, I just thought
maybe you'd know something about it.
- Why?
- Well, you know, because of Mikki.
- Sorry, Sherlock.
I'm not in the mood to play right now.
I'm just going to take a nap
and try to shake this headache, okay?
- Ash, you do know what
I'm talking about, right?
- Yes, Tyge.
I've heard all of Zack's stories before
and that's all they are, stories.
- Yeah, well...
I'll be downstairs if you need anything.
Your parents aren't going to be home
any time soon, are they?
- Not for another week.
They're still in Florida on vacation.
- Good.
- You think you're pretty tough, don't ya?
- Oh, my god, you've got to be kiddin' me.
It's time you die like the bitch you are.
- Oh man.
(TV plays in background)
What the hell.
- [Mikki] I feel myself
rotting from the inside.
- What the--
- My work here is done.
There's nothing left for me to do.
(crying)
Ashley, I need your help.
They're coming for me.
I don't know what they're going to do
when they find me.
(crying)
Ashley, please help me.
(sinister music)
- Oh, that prick.
(sighs)
("Quicksand" by Rockgodsuperstar)
(doorbell rings)
- [Zack] Deke, get the fucking door!
(doorbell rings)
What?
- Is Deke home?
- No.
- What the fuck is your problem, man?
- What the hell's that?
- Don't pretend you didn't
send this to Ashley.
- Man, are you out of your fucking mind?
- I'm not here to play
games with you, Zack.
I know you have a copy
of this in your bedroom.
- Okay, okay.
- Where did you get that tape?
Why did you send it to her?
- None of your fucking business.
- Oh yeah, it becomes my fucking business
when your stupid little mind games
drive my friend to a mental breakdown.
Hasn't she been through
enough, you fucking psycho?
(grunts)
- Don't ever call me that.
I know the tape was a little dramatic
but I know she wants those answers
as much as I do.
Where did you get that?
- Near your uncle's place.
I went there with Ashley this afternoon.
These the answers you're looking for?
I know you've been through a lot, Zack,
but this...
(sighs)
This answers nothing.
- Those stories that
Deke told you last night,
that was just a game for me,
something to pass the time.
But, after the murders,
the more I tried to figure out exactly
what happened that night,
the less it seemed like a game to me.
Maybe it was just my imagination getting
the best of me or maybe
it just took something
like this to show me
the truth that had been
there all along.
(eerie music)
- This is crazy, Zack.
Do you really expect for me
to take this stuff seriously?
- Read first, then decide.
(sighs)
- Tyge!
Tyge!
(sinister music)
(screaming)
(Ashley screams)
(macabre music)
(gasps)
(eerie music)
(screaming)
Mikki.
- [Tyge] This is the second
time I've found her knocked out.
She might have a concussion.
- [Deke] Why didn't you
call of ran ambulance?
What are we supposed to do for her?
- [Zack] Man, she don't look too good.
- [Tyge] I knew I shouldn't
have left her alone.
- Looks like she took one too many trips
to happy land.
- Holy shit.
- What are they for?
- It's for nightmares.
Like the one I'm having right now.
Get your own.
- I'll be in the kitchen.
Coffee's on.
- Why...
Why did you send me that tape?
- I'm sorry if the package was a little--
- Fucking morbid.
- I know this is difficult for you, Ash,
but I've lost people
that I care about too.
- Yeah and that's the
only reason I haven't
fucking ripped your balls off yet.
Look, Zack, I don't know
anything that you don't
already know.
Mikki didn't talk to me
much after the murders
at the Ditmer, I mean, She didn't talk
to much of anybody after that.
- Do you think Mikki may have left
a journal or a diary, something that would
give us an indication of what was going on
in her head when she committed suicide?
Something that would give us some details
about the murders.
- I don't think so.
What are you looking for?
- I'm wondering if maybe
she wrote something down
about what happened that night.
- You already know what happened.
Six people were killed, Mikki flipped out
and killed herself five years later.
End of story.
- Just hear me out, okay?
- Okay, talk.
- A friend of mine, a
cop, he showed me some
crime scene photos of the victims.
He's also who hooked me up with the copy
of the tape that I sent you.
Besides the fatal wounds on the victims,
there were other,
anomalies found on the bodies.
- Like what?
(eerie music)
- My aunt died exactly a
year after she was committed
back in '93.
There was nothing anybody
could ever do for her.
In the end she was like this animal,
completely void of human self awareness.
Just wasn't anything left inside at all.
- [Deke] Fuck.
Did she die in a fire?
- [Tyge] They just found her like that?
- [Zack] Just a shriveled husk.
Her skin split open like road kill frying
on hot asphalt.
It was as if she'd rotted from the inside.
- Is there a point to all of this.
- I've known my aunt
my whole life, Ashley.
She'd never hurt anyone.
Reports say she killed
six people but I do not
believe that.
- Zack, what's going on, buddy?
- [Zack] Something got
to my aunt that made
her go insane.
- That's it.
Zack please, I'm leaving.
- Something got to my aunt, the same thing
that Mikki saw that night.
- You're sick, I want,
all of you to get the hell
out right now.
- The same thing that
made Mikki kill herself.
- I said get out!
Right now, I'm not listening
to this shit anymore.
Get out, Tyge, now!
- Ashley would you calm down.
We're only trying to help.
- No, I came here to get away from this.
Not listen to this bullshit.
Hooray, hooray, at long
last I finally found out
why my sister slit her
wrists and bled to death
all over my grandparents farm.
How stupid of me.
I should've known all along.
Mikki just came down with a nasty case
of demonitis, right?
Well thank you Dr. Murdock.
Thank you Dr. Ledanakoh for your in depth
clinical observation.
I can finally put it all behind me.
- Ashley, please, what
do you want me to say?
- Nothing, why bother,
it won't change anything.
Are you having fun?
Is this amusing to you
seeing me like this,
knowing full well you
don't have the faintest
fucking idea what I've been through?
- No, I am trying to help--
- I'm sorry you don't understand.
I really am.
I don't understand it all myself.
And maybe I never will.
But maybe his is how Zack
decides to deal with it
by playing a stupid game.
But it's not a game, Tyge.
People are dead and you're looking
for some reason, some
cause that doesn't even
fucking exist.
Do me a favor, look for it somewhere else.
All of you.
I'm not going to be a
part of this anymore.
You guys go on your
scavenger hunt without me.
Don't let me ruin all the fun.
I'm going back home
tomorrow and forgetting
I ever fucking came back here.
- Ash.
- That's for being a bastard.
And for not being here when I needed you.
Sorry I kicked your ass, nothing personal.
- Well, that could've gone better.
- I think I'm starting to get use to this.
- That was fun.
Thank you both so much for
making me a part of that.
Now unless you have an encore planned,
I really need to split.
I got some work I need to
finish up for a project
on Monday.
- I want to go look around
her grandparents farm.
- What?
- There must be something there that Mikki
wanted Ashley to find, I mean, why else
would she make that tape?
- Don't you think the cops would've found
whatever it is you're looking for?
They searched the house after Mikki died.
- Why would the cops
do an extensive search
of the house if the house
was ruled a suicide?
They had no reason to suspect foul play.
There must be something
there the cops overlooked.
- Which would take forever to find.
Man, you don't even know what it is you're
looking for.
Or if there's even anything there to find.
- [Zack] What would it hurt
to go out there and just
look around?
- Count me out.
I'm just going to stay
around here and keep
an eye on Ashley.
- Call us if you change your mind.

- Hi.
- Hi yourself.
What are you still doing here?
- Ah you know, I wanted to be here
just in case you passed out again.
You gonna hit me again?
I helped myself to the fridge.
Sorry.
- I noticed.
- I am sorry.
- I'm sorry, too.
Because I miss my medication.
- You never did tell me why you came back.
- I guess I was looking for something
that I didn't really need to know.
But, I wanted to remember
Mikki the way she was.
That's what was real.
It's just all this demon shit's starting
to get a little too morbid for me.
- Afraid you'll find monsters?
You know, when I was 11 years old,
I asked God to turn me into a monster.
(laughs)
I even covered my ass and told him
I'd be a good monster.
- Okay.
That's interesting.
Why may I ask would you ask
for something like that?
- I wanted to keep my
dad from beating my mom.
But, God never answered me.
It was too late.
(sighs)
We were about to do this shot
for a new film project I'm
working on in St. Louis
when I,
I just stepped out to take a phone call,
two of the actors were going to run over
some blocking,
the light fell from the scaffolding and
hit one of the actors on the head.
It split it wide open.
Blood everywhere.
(sighs)
My whole life's been a fantasy.
It's been make believe.
But at that moment,
at that one moment,
it was, it was like I
was 11 years old again,
afraid, alone.
(eerie music)
- It wasn't your fault, Tyge.
(Tyge sighs)
- Apparently dad was released from prison
a couple of years ago.
So I, went by the old house to see
if he still lived there.
- Why?
- Well, I wanted to show him
that I'm not that scared
little boy he can hurt anymore.
But, he moved away.
I don't know, maybe I'm
still that scared little boy,
scared that one day
I'll look like my father.
- [Ashley] Tyge, don't be ridiculous.
- Life just seems so meaningless.
Trivial.
- Chasing monsters isn't
going to change that.
There was a part of me
that wanted to believe
in Zack's stories too,
but look where it got him.
His life is consumed by it.
I don't want to live my life like that.
And neither should you.
- Maybe there is no magic in the world.
- Maybe you're just looking for it
in the wrong place.
(garage door motor whines)
- Ugh.
- Shit, what is that?
Eh, it smells like your mom's making
some of her famous ass chili again.
Whew.
(scoffs)
- Meat must have gone bad.
(slow piano music)
(sighs)
Guess we'll just wait for mom to get back
from her jog.
- [Ashley] Did you want
to go with Deke and Zach
to my grandparents farm?
- [Tyge] We don't have to, Ash.
- [Ashley] It'll give me a chance
to say goodbye to the place.
- [Tyge] Okay.
- [Zack] This place doesn't
look all that fuckin' abandoned.
- [Deke] I think they're just renting out
the land, you know, if you want to put
your cows here or something.
- [Zack] How do you know that there's not
somebody here right now?
- [Deke] I think it's just the cows, man.
- [Zack] This is off to a great start.
Yep, creepy just like I imagined.
- Let's get this over with.
- I can see why nobody's
bought the place yet.
- Come on, sweetie, let's check out
the big scary red barn.
- You wanna go check out the lake?
- That's fine with me.
- You guys want to look around the house?
- Mm, maybe later.
But there is a door around back that leads
down into the basement.
The locks always been busted.
- All right, give me
an hour to look around.
- [Deke] Who wants a roll in the hay?
- That should give me enough time to hide
Deke's body.
- [Deke] You don't know
what you're missing.
I'll be the needle in your haystack.
(slow piano music)
(sinister music)
(door squeaks)
(foreboding piano music)
- Is something wrong?
- It's weird being back here.
I've been gone way too long.
(slow ominous piano music)
(stairs squeak)
(ominous piano music)
(scoffs)
- Fuck this.
- The last time I saw
Mikki, we were helping
a cousin move into an
apartment in the city.
I remember Mikki was
really quiet that day.
And just before I left, she gave me this.
It wasn't long after
that when those five kids
went missing up at that church summer camp
where she used to work.
They found the kids in
the lake a week later.
And they were all drowned.
(sighs)
Yep, that wasn't a very good year.
(ominous music)
(sighs)
- [Deke] You two have fun?
I know I sure did.
Is he okay?
- Mm, I don't know.
So, where's your better half?
- He's probably still in the house.
Well?
Ready to give up yet?
- Hey.
- How you doing?
Whatcha working on?
- A story for creative writing.
Except I've been in this
writer's block all week.
So I've just been trying word association
to work around it.
- Not much happening?
- Not really, but you look like you've got
a lot on your mind.
- It's probably nothing but I think
I'm going to take a quick walk down
to the Lomack farm and see if Mom's there.
- Why don't you just call down there?
- The phone's still disconnected.
Besides, I need to get
some fresh air anyway.
- You need some company?
(ominous music)
- Oh, Zack, this is very interesting.
We can watch it at my place.
I got to get going anyway, tyge needs
to get going.
- I'm fine.
I just got a little dizzy.
- I don't want to leave yet.
There's still some areas of the house
I haven't checked out.
- You're unbelievable.
- What?
- You don't know when to quit do you?
- What the hell are you talking about?
- This is what I'm talking about.
Look familiar?
Do you really expect us to believe
you found this stuff
lying around the house?
- I didn't find it lying around.
I found it in the closet
in the bedroom upstairs.
- Dammit, why don't you
knock this shit off, Zack?
- Why don't you fuck off?
- What did you say?
- Why can't you see what's happening here?
I wouldn't pretend to find this stuff.
Why would I do that?
All right look, I don't care if you guys
believe me or not.
Something really fucked is going on here.
Okay, I'm not making this up.
- Okay.
I've had enough of this.
You want to play Nancy Drew, that's fine,
but do it on your own.
When you guys are ready to leave,
I'll be outside.
- Deke, listen.
- No, you listen to me.
I was willing to play along at first.
I foolishly thought that
maybe you would come around.
But you'll always be a fucking psycho.
- I'm not a psycho.
(melancholy piano music)
- [Mason] Jessica tells me
you're moving into her place.
- [Zoe] Yeah, big sister commune.
But I didn't have much of a choice.
My parents kicked me out a week ago.
- Sorry to hear that.
- Ah screw 'em.
I'm a lot happier with Jess anyway..
- At least someone is.
(slow piano music)
Who the hell is that?
- [Zoe] Maybe your mom's
meeting some people
to show 'em the place.
Isn't that her job?
- Come on.
- [Zoe] Excuse me, what are we doing?
- [Mason] What's it look like?
Looking for my scatter-brained mother.
- [Zoe] Oh lay off, I
think your mom's sweet.
Hey, did she sell small poshy jocks?
- [Mason] Probably.
(laughs)
- [Zoe] Awesome.
- I don't know about that.
I really hate having to come home to see
that sad look in her eyes.
- Because of your dad?
- [Mason] Yep.
I know it's been six
years since he's died.
She still insists she's okay but,
I know better.
- Hey, you know, I was
thinking, what if that guy
you saw was some kind of deranged murderer
just posing as a client.
You ever think about that?
Huh, huh?
- This would definitely
be a good place for one.
(cows moo)
Hello.
- [Zoe] Okay, you need
to share whatever it is
that you're on.
There's nobody here, dude.
- Maybe he's shy.
- Or maybe we should go back to the house
and look for your mom there.
- What?
(growling)
(Mason screams)
(screaming continues)
- Mason.
- Did you kill him?
- Yeah, I think so.
(growling)
Mason, we've got to get out of here.
Come on, get up.
You can do it, come on.
(grunting)
Somebody help!
Help us!
(sinister music)
- Fuck.
- Deke!
- Deke!
- What's wrong with you?
- Get away from him.
He'll kill you.
- No!
- Deke!
- Here, he gets near, you hit him.
- What the fuck, Deke?
- Ah.
(eerie music)
Ah.
(growls)
- Get the fuck off of me.
- Are you okay?
- Get him in the heart.
- What?
- Get him in the heart.
Run, do it.
Do it!
(sinister music)
What's happening?
(eerie music)
(sighs)
- Who is he?
- According to his wallet,
his name's Mason Kerrigan.
He's lucky.
Any farther and it would've punctured
his brain.
He's lost a lot of blood though.
(monas in pain)
(sinister music)
- I'm going to get my notes.
We're gonna need 'em.
- He's not holding up too well.
- It isn't every day you
kill your best friend.
(sighs)
How can this all be happening?
All of Zack's stories,
they're all true.
Guess he found what we
were looking for after all.
- The girl's gone.
(sinister music)
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
- Oh, oh.
(screams)
- Did you hear that?
- Who do you think it is?
- Mom.
- Hey, hey, listen, please don't move.
Be still.
Do you live around here?
- My mom, she lives up on the hill.
(grunts)
- [Tyge] Are we going
to just sit around here
and do nothing?
- Where's Zoe?
- [Zack] She's running around out there.
- She's resting on the
couch in the living room.
- [Tyge] We should be anywhere rather than
sitting around on our asses.
- Tyge's right, Zack.
We'll check out the immediate front area.
We'll come right back
if we don't find them.
Keep a close eye on him.
(eerie music)
(Sinister music)
(heavy breathing)
(growling)
(screams)
(Screams)
(coughing)
(grunting in pain)
(coughing)
- Hey, you sure you don't want some?
You never know.
It might be edible.
- [Jessica] It's been over two hours, Lee.
Something's wrong.
- [Lee] Hey relax, I'm sure everything's
going to be cool.
Pardon me, but didn't you and Mason
part ways yesterday?
What's with the sudden concern?
- I still care about him, Lee.
I still want to be his friend.
- You know I never could figure out
the whole relationship thing.
All that unnecessary work
just for a little pussy.
- Nice.
Must be rough still being a virgin.
- Yeah, thanks.
(loud banging outside)
What the hell was that?
- It's probably just Mason, he's always
screwing with us.
Come on cowboy, don't worry.
I'll protect ya.
(eerie music)
Bastard.
- What?
- Not you.
The prick knows I don't like being scared.
Come on, screw them,
I'm freezing out here.
- Wait a minute.
What the hell is that?
(eerie music)
- Well, now what?
- I think we should make
a run for the other house.
Take a look at what's on that videotape.
- Are you out of your mind?
- Zack, do you think
that's such a good idea?
I mean, we shouldn't leave
Mason here like this.
- We'll just have to take him with us.
- That tape is not worth
risking our necks for.
We're safer here.
Why don't you look over
your notes or something?
- Yeah, isn't there
something in there that let's
us know how to get out of this place?
- That would be a bit difficult.
Since they're gone.
(sinister music)
Wouldn't happen to know
where my notes went
would you, Tyge?
- You accusing me of something?
- I just want my notes
back that you stole.
- Tyge, that's enough.
- I didn't steal your goddamn notes.
Why the hell would I do that?
- Maybe you didn't want us to leave.
(sighs)
- All right, maybe I did take your notes.
But I got one question for ya?
Did you happen to touch any of those rocks
you found upstairs?
- [Ashley] Zack?
- How very interesting.
You're one of them, aren't you?
Didn't you think any of us would think
of that possibility after
what happened to Deke?
- What the hell is he talking about?
- He's a fucking liar.
- Oh come on, Ash, can't you
see what's going on here?
He's possessed and he's
trying to cover himself.
He's been leading us around in circles
since the first moment we got here.
- Shut your fucking mouth.
- Hey!
(banging on door)
- [Jessica] Hello,
somebody there, anybody?
- Who's that?
(Jessica screams)
- It's Jessica.
You gotta let her in.
- Okay, okay, shh.
Calm down, calm down.
We'll get it.
(Jessica bangs on door)
- [Jessica] Somebody help me, please.
- We'll get her.
Tyge, come on.
(banging on door continues)
now, Tyge, come on.
(eerie music)
- Ash, we've got to do
something about this.
After what he just did in there,
who knows.
What's her name, Zoe?
- Shut up.
- He might have killed that girl.
(banging on door continues)
(sinister music)
Think about what you're doing, Ashley.
- [Jessica] Somebody please let me in.
- He'll kill us.
It's too late.
There's no other way.
(growling)
(Jessica screams)
(sinister music)
(growls)
(Ashley screams)
- Block this door, block this door.
I gotta go get Zack and Mason.
- Hurry.
- Come on, we have to go.
- [Zack] What's going on out there?
- [Ashley] One of those
things got in the house.
Can you walk?
- I can make it.
(Tyge screams)
- Tyge.
- Ashley, no.
(eerie music)
- Zoe!
(growling)
- Move, go.
No lock on the door.
Get out of here.
Help me.
Get out of the way.
We gotta find a screwdriver.
- How are you holding up?
- Dizzy but I'll live.
(menacing music)
- Let's go, you okay, man?
- Tyge.
Tyge, where are you?
Where the hell is he?
I left him right three.
- Forget about him, Ash, he's gone.
- No.
- Come on, let's go, let's go.
(slow sinister music)
(growling)
- [Zack] Let's go, let's go.
Down here.
Go ahead.
(slow sinister music)
(screaming)
- Jessica.
(growling)
Lee, stop, it's me.
- Look out.
(Ashley screams in rage)
(growling)
(painful grunts)
(growling)
- Ashley, come on, there are more of them.
Ashley!
- Jessica!
- [Jessica] Mason.
Oh, my god.
What happened to you?
What's going on?
- It's okay, baby.
We're going to get out of this.
Everything's going to be all right.
Tell me what happened?
- We were waiting for you.
I heard a noise out on the porch.
And we went out to see what it was
because we thought it was you and Lee
found a rock and we went back inside.
He started chasing me.
He's trying to kill me.
- [Mason] Shh.
- Why is he stopping?
(growling)
(Jessica growls)
(yells in pain)
- Hey!
- [Zack] Dammit.
(Lee growls)
- [Ashley] Jesus.
- [Mason] Ashley!
(Lee growls)
(screaming)
- Ashley, come on.
(Mason continues screaming)
(upbeat sinister music)
(screaming)
(sinister music)
It's going numb.
- What the hell are we gonna do now?
- We got to get to the other house.
- Look, that video
tape's not going to work.
- I can fix it.
I can give it a shot at least.
(grunts)
We're out of options.
Behind you!
(screams)
(growling)
(Ashley screams)
Ashley!
(Ashley whimpers)
- Help!
(sinister music)
(whimpers)
- You okay?
Ashley.
Ashley!
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I think so.
(low howling)
(upbeat macabre music)
- Get ready.
(growling)
Back door.
(upbeat suspenseful music)
Come on.
(banging on door)
(growling)
- Where are you going?
- Turn that light out.
Draw as little attention
to ourself as possible.
(slow macabre music)
- What are you doing?
- I'm just performing a bit
of emergency surgery here.
Can you shine your
flashlight down here, please?
(banging on door continues)
(growling)
- Ashley I hope you find this.
I'm sorry I didn't talk to
you about all this before,
but you wouldn't have
understood the things
that I saw that night.
The gift that I was given.
But, the gift was never meant for me.
It was always meant for you.
I was running out of time.
I knew that if I made
the ultimate sacrifice,
that you would eventually
find your way home.
Of course, there is always the chance
that you move on with your life.
That you'd forget all about me.
But if you're watching this right now,
I know that you still
harbor the pain inside.
(loud banging on door)
I love you, Ashley.
(slow suspenseful music)
- [Ashley] What do you
think she meant by that?
- What?
- The stuff about the gift.
What the hell does that mean?
- I don't know.
I try to figure all this out.
It doesn't make any sense.
I don't know why all this is happening
in the first place.
The demons, the possessions,
the invisible barriers.
There is no Cherokee elder descendant.
And I always thought the cursed grounds
were on my uncle's property.
So if that were the case--
- Then why is all this happening here?
- It doesn't add up.
- Hey, remember yesterday, when you said
that there must have been something inside
Mikki to make her go and kill herself?
Did you mean she was possessed?
- Oh shit.
(growling)
If Mikki was possessed,
she managed to leave
my uncle's property,
that means the contagion
is no longer confined to those grounds.
It got out.
- So she could spread it to other places.
- When she bled all over the farm,
she spread the contagion to that land.
So that if a descendant
from her bloodline,
in this case, you, steps onto that land--
- Trap goes off.
How can we get out of this, Zack?
How do we stop this?
- I know the story is incomplete,
the last thing my uncle
told me before he died
was that he made some new translations
that he would sit down and talk with me
about them when he had some free time.
After the murders, when
I finally got my hands
on his notes, some of the
pages had been ripped out.
- The pages Mikki was burning?
(banging)
(growling)
There has to be a way out of here.
There's got to be a way.
- My uncle did tell me one way.
He said if there's no one left alive
on the cursed ground,
then the barriers crumble
and the demons go back to sleep.
Yeah, I don't like that
option much either.
- Where in the hell are you going?
- Garage.
I can get a weapon there.
Coming?
Look, it doesn't make any sense for us
to stay here.
You know they're going to
find us here eventually.
If we're going to beat this thing,
we've got to stop running.
So come on.
(suspenseful music)
- [Ashley] Over here.
There it is.
What's wrong?
- Dammit.
- What's going on, Zack?
What's the matter?
Zack?
- I need you to do me a favor.
- Okay.
- I need you to kill me.
- What?
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's not funny.
- My uncle was right.
He was right about me.
When I found those rocks in the bedroom
upstairs, I couldn't believe it.
You've looked for something
like that your whole life
and then, it's so surreal, it
was fantastic, you know, I...
After Deke, I knew it
was a matter of time.
I can feel it.
It's like a sickness inside me.
It's everywhere.
Do it, Ash.
- Zack, please, there
has to be another way.
- There is not other way,
I can't fight it anymore.
Please, Ash.
- I can't do it.
We have to find another way.
- Ash!
Kill me!
Don't let me become like
one of them, please.
Please.
Kill me.
- I can't.
Zack.
Where are you going?
- Oh, I'll be damned.
- What is it?
What did you find?
Zack.
(Zack growls)
- Oh fuck!
Tyge, look out.
(whimpering)

- [Unit 78 Officer] I'm
1023 at 1346 Camp Road.
(unable to hear over sound effects)
(slow piano music)
(sinister music)
- I feel myself rotting from the inside.
My work here is done.
There's nothing left for me to do.
- [Officer Over Radio]
Unit 78, dispatch send a...
(unable to hear over sirens)
- [Dispatcher Over Radio]
Dispatched, unit 78.
Sit tight.
(sirens wail)
- [Officer Over Radio] Unit 78, dispatch,
I have a 1052 at 1346 Camp Road.
Standby dispatch.
(slow piano music)
(slow sinister music)
- [Mikki] Ashley, I need your help.
They're coming for me.
I don't know what they're
gonna do but if they
find me.
(crying)
Ashley, please help me.
(slow somber music)
(sorrowful piano music)
(siren wails)
- Deke, hi, this is Tyge.
Yeah, I know it's been awhile.
How are ya doing?
Look, I'm sorry to call you so late.
I'm gonna be in town
the next couple of days
and I was wondering if I could stay
at your place for awhile.
No, everything's cool.
I, I just need to get out
of the city for awhile.
Hey, great.
I'll be there in the morning.
Thanks, Deke.
Bye.

(slow guitar music)

- Can I help you?
- [Tyge] Murdock?
Brett Murdock?
- Yeah.
He moved out two, three years ago.
I talked to him once before we moved in.
You his son?
(slow piano music)
- I must have the wrong address.
I'm, I'm sorry.
(slow piano music)
- Damn good to see ya, buddy.
You get lost?
- What?
- I thought you were getting
here earlier this morning?
- Oh, yeah, I did a little sight seeing.
So all this is yours now?
- Yep, the folks moved
out about five years ago.
Dad's work moved him to London
so they let me keep the place.
I can barely afford it, but
someday, it'll all be mine.
You sounded pretty weird last night.
You're not running from the law
by any chance are ya?
(laughs)
- [Tyge] I'm afraid not.
- [Deke] Damn
Ah well, you look like
you could use a drink.
I'm buying.
- Can I get you anything else?
- I don't think so.
- All right, enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.
I guess it's been, what, 10 years?
- Has it been that long?
- [Deke] Shit, we're gettin' old.
- I haven't heard anything
about a reunion yet.
Have you?
- No, and that's fine with me.
Shit, half of our class
were fucking morons.
Those were the ones that never left town.
I see them every day.
Case in point.
You remember Zack Ledanakoh, right?
- [Tyge] I think so.
- Oh sure you do.
He ran the school radio station.
You know the one you couldn't even pick up
in the parking lot?
- [Tyge] Okay.
- Zack!
- [Zack] Hey, you just get here?
- [Deke] Yep, thought
we'd get a couple drinks
and do some catching up.
- Cool.
- [Zack] Sup Tyge, how you been?
I heard you moved to L.A. years ago.
- [Tyge] L.A.'s not really my scene.
- [Zack] So how long are
you going to be in town?
- I'm not sure yet.
- Still making movies?
Oh, I heard there are still a few copies
floating around of that
shitty horror movie you made
back when we were in high school.
A friend of mine down
at Sunny's Video Shack,
remember that place?
- Yeah, I used to work there.
- He told me they still have a copy of it.
What was the name of that thing?
Dark something.
It was Dark...
- Dark Aura.
- That's right, man, oh
geez, that shit was painful.
- Whew, it's been an experience talking
with you again, Zack.
I gotta make a phone call.
Are you ready for another one?
- [Deke] I'm still working on this one.
- All right.
- What?
- What was that?
Why are you acting like a little bitch?
- Relax, I was just playing with him.
- [Deke] Anyway, Tyge is
going to be staying with us
for a couple of days.
- What?
Why?
- He's my best friend.
I haven't seen him in years.
- Yeah, well he gives me the creeps.
- Zack, no offense byt sometimes
you give me the creeps.
- Oh no, I am not coming
down there tonight.
Look, hello.
Hello, I can barely hear ya, man.
Oh, look, can't this wait until tomorrow?
I mean I already gave them a statement.
Look, are they charging you with anything?
Well then tell them I
wiLL be there tomorrow.
You're my agent, make something up.
That's what you do best.
(sighs)
What time do you want me to be there?
(sighs)
Hello.
John.
Hello!
(sighs)
Oh shit.
Ashley.
- Don't hit me.
- Oh, no, I just...
I lost the signal.
What are you doing here?
- I came to get a drink.
- No, I mean, what are
you doing back in town?
- Is that all you can say?
- It's been a long time, Ash.
I just didn't expect us to
run into each other like this,
you know, I mean, I
haven't seen you since--
- Graduation.
10 years.
We're gettin' old.
(slow piano music)
Well, I think I'm just going to go.
- Well wait, I mean, how have you been?
I mean, are you here visiting family?
- Kinda.
Well, my sister's dead.
- Diana.
My god.
- Wrong one.
- Mikki?
Ash, what happened?
- Well, she killed herself.
- I'm...
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, I don't, I don't
know why I came here.
I've got all this running around to do
and everything.
I'm staying at my parents
house while I'm in town.
Do you need the number?
- I remember it.
Call me.
If you want.
- Are you gonna be okay?
- I'll be fine.
- Whoa, calm down loverboy.
Was that who I think it was?
Yeah.
(laughs)
And how is the fine Ms. Lomack doing?
Is something wrong?
- She said her sister
Mikki just passed away.
What?
- Mikke died back in '98, man.
- But--
- [Deke] I shit you not.
She was living with her
grandparents at the time.
She didn't get along
with her folks too well.
Anyway, the police found
her in the basement.
Cuts all over her body.
Blood everywhere.
Oh, you know what's real
fucked up about that?
On the night that Mikki
died, her grandparents
were killed in a car accident.
Brake failure I think.
(scoffs)
Lovely story huh?
- I never head anything about that.
And Ash just made it sound
like it happened yesterday.
- Well, come on, let's go.
I can only take Zack in small doses.
- So why didn't Zack get into radio?
I seem to remember him
being pretty good at it.
- [Deke] You mean that was the only thing
he was good at.
Well, Zack was in radio for awhile.
The local news, sports
broadcast here and there.
Nothing too spectacular.
(sighs)
When his aunt, uncle, and cousin died,
he pretty much lost interest in that.
Pretty much lost interest in everything.
- Oh yeah.
Weren't they some of those
people that were murdered
back up in Ditmer back in '93?
What?
(upbeat rock music)
Damn.
What a slob.
So how long has Zack been living with you?
- [Deke] Too long.
He was going through a lot of shit
so I thought I'd be helping the guy out
by letting him move in, you know?
That's what I get for thinkin'.
("I Sold My Soul To A
Frankenhooker" by Frankenhookers)
- What's this?
- [Deke] Hang on.
Ah, here it is.
That marking is for the vulture deity.
- Excuse me, the what?
- Listen to this.
(suspenseful music)
- [Male Voice On Tap]
A shocking and bizarre
event in Jefferson County last night.
Wendell Ledanakoh age 39
brutally murdered and partially
devoured six victims including
her husband, Gary Ledanakoh.
The mass murder took place
on the Ledanakoh's property
in Ditmer, Missouri.
Authorities were told of
the killings by Mikki Lomack
age 22.
Lomack was with the party
that was murdered but managed
to escape.
Authorities who arrived to take
Mrs. Ledanakoh into custody
say that Ledanakoh was
obviously in a state
of deteriorated mental health.
Ledanakoh is currently being held
at Harrison Mental
Institution in St. Louis.
In other news...
The Gateway Arch.
- [Female On Tape] You are
listening to KMJW News and--
- Bizarre huh?
- That's how he found
ut about the murders?
I had no idea.
- Gary, Lynn, and Karen
was his only family.
It really fucked him up.
That was the end of his radio career.
- So what's the deal with these notebooks?
Is Zack researching for something?
- They belonged to his Uncle Gary.
After the investigation, the police
just handed them over to Zack.
Those two used to do all
kinds of shit together.
Anything with a history to it.
They'd go to civil war reenactments.
They'd research local ghost stories.
That's what got him interested
in all of the Indian
legends and myths about the area.
- What's the deal with these rocks.
- Zack's notebooks say
that there was a Cherokee
tribe that settled in the area,
after they fled the Trail of
Tears, back in the late 1830's.
One of the tribe's
spiritual elders started
messing around with this black magic
and communicating with demons.
Each of the symbols are
supposed to represent
a different demon that the elders
had cahoots with.
oN the morning of their annual harvest,
the tribe went out to the fields and found
that all of their crops had been turned
into stones.
Each of the stones had
an animal marking on it.
Just like this one.
- That's creepy.
- [Deke] The elder was
killed and most of the tribe
fled the land, fearing
now that it was cursed.
Most of 'em froze to death that winter.
- Damn.
- The rocks became
passageways for the demons
that now roam the land to
possess anyone that make
physical contact with them.
The demon whose symbol is on the rock
is the one that possesses you.
The demon supposedly won't awaken and have
the ability to possess you
unless one of the descendents
of that Cherokee elder guy
steps onto the cursed land.
I think Zack and Gary made translations
for over 40 demons in all.
- Huh.
They've got the spider.
And the scorpion.
The bobcat's.
And the boar.
Snake.
And the wolf.
The vulture.
Ah, leech.
Thanks.
Here's a weird one.
- What?
- The demon man.
If someone touches a rock
with the man demon symbol
on it, they are possessed
by the most dangerous
demon of all.
Someone possessed by the
man demon won't attack
and kill like an animal.
It thinks.
It will plan ways to have as much control
over as many other human
beings as possible.
All that from touching a rock?
What's this stuff about
invisible barriers?
- Let me see.
Oh, yeah, that's just
part of the legend, man.
- Hmmph.
So does Zack really think that
there's a connection between
these stories and his family being killed?
- Think it'll make a good movie, Tyge?
- Dammit, you scared the shit out of me.
What are you doing home so soon?
(sighs)
- Why do you think?
- You got fired again.
What is that, three jobs in two months?
What, are you going for
some kind of record?
- You couldn't resist, could ya?
- Zack, I was just telling
him about some Indian legends.
It's no big deal.

- [Judy On Answering
Machine] Mason, hello,
it's mom.
Just calling to see if you're planning
on stopping by to see me on Sunday.
Your Fall break starts today, right?
If I'm not here when
you show up, I might be
stopping by the old Lomack's farm.
I've got some clients coming by next week
to take a look at the place,
if you can believe it.
Well, I guess that's it.
Call me when you get this.
Say hi to Jessica for me.
I can't wait to meet her.
I love you, baby, bye.
(slow piano music)
- Friends?
- Sure.
- See ya tomorrow, Mason.
(TV plays in background)
(doorbell rings)
(upbeat rock music)
- Hi.
- You up for a ride?
("My Wish" by Somnia)
- There's the old pharmacy
where my mom used to work.
- It looks a little run down.
- It's been abandoned for years.
I don't know why they
haven't torn it down yet.
I remember liking Autumn a
lot more when I was little.
I used to take these walks in the woods
behind my parent's house.
I remember how quiet the woods were.
Not a sound.
The leaves were gone.
The woods looked like
they stretch on forever.
I can't stand the quiet now.
- So where are we going anyway?
I'm almost afraid to ask.
- [Ashley] You'll see.
You'll get a kick out of it, trust me.
- Like that ever got me anywhere.
- Nice to see some things haven't changed.
Same old Tyge.
- Where are we?
Ash.
(eerie piano music)
Are you okay?
What is this place?
- It's the old Ledanakoh property.
- Are you shittin' me?
Hey, hey, where do you think you're goin'?
- I'm going to take a look around.
Are you coming or not?
- What do you think
you're going to find, Ash?
I mean, come on, I don't
think you really want
to be putting yourself through this.
- Aren't you the least bit curious?
(sighs)
(sighs)
(sinister music)
There's nothing there.
There's nothing.
There's nothing there.
There's nothing there.
(sinister music)
(gasping)
(screams)
- Ashley!
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Hey, Ashley.
Come here, come here.
Wake up, Ash, come on.
(Ashley screams)
- No, no!
- It's me.
- No, no.
- It's me, it's all right.
- The blood.
- Your nose is bleeding,
your nose is bleeding.
Are you okay, Ash?
- No, where's--
- [Tyge] What, did you see something?
- I guess I got dizzy.
(sinister piano music)
- Here.
Take these.
And you should probably
still see a doctor.
- Oh, I'll live.
- Here.
Take a look at these.
(macabre music)
- Where did you find them?
- Well, Deke Myrick showed
me this at his house
last night.
Remember Zack Ledanakoh?
Well, he's living with Deke, he's got
a whole bunch of these.
I found this one up at
the Ledanakoh place.
- Why are you keeping them?
- Well, Deke was telling
me this really weird story
about where they came
from and, I just thought
maybe you'd know something about it.
- Why?
- Well, you know, because of Mikki.
- Sorry, Sherlock.
I'm not in the mood to play right now.
I'm just going to take a nap
and try to shake this headache, okay?
- Ash, you do know what
I'm talking about, right?
- Yes, Tyge.
I've heard all of Zack's stories before
and that's all they are, stories.
- Yeah, well...
I'll be downstairs if you need anything.
Your parents aren't going to be home
any time soon, are they?
- Not for another week.
They're still in Florida on vacation.
- Good.
- You think you're pretty tough, don't ya?
- Oh, my god, you've got to be kiddin' me.
It's time you die like the bitch you are.
- Oh man.
(TV plays in background)
What the hell.
- [Mikki] I feel myself
rotting from the inside.
- What the--
- My work here is done.
There's nothing left for me to do.
(crying)
Ashley, I need your help.
They're coming for me.
I don't know what they're going to do
when they find me.
(crying)
Ashley, please help me.
(sinister music)
- Oh, that prick.
(sighs)
("Quicksand" by Rockgodsuperstar)
(doorbell rings)
- [Zack] Deke, get the fucking door!
(doorbell rings)
What?
- Is Deke home?
- No.
- What the fuck is your problem, man?
- What the hell's that?
- Don't pretend you didn't
send this to Ashley.
- Man, are you out of your fucking mind?
- I'm not here to play
games with you, Zack.
I know you have a copy
of this in your bedroom.
- Okay, okay.
- Where did you get that tape?
Why did you send it to her?
- None of your fucking business.
- Oh yeah, it becomes my fucking business
when your stupid little mind games
drive my friend to a mental breakdown.
Hasn't she been through
enough, you fucking psycho?
(grunts)
- Don't ever call me that.
I know the tape was a little dramatic
but I know she wants those answers
as much as I do.
Where did you get that?
- Near your uncle's place.
I went there with Ashley this afternoon.
These the answers you're looking for?
I know you've been through a lot, Zack,
but this...
(sighs)
This answers nothing.
- Those stories that
Deke told you last night,
that was just a game for me,
something to pass the time.
But, after the murders,
the more I tried to figure out exactly
what happened that night,
the less it seemed like a game to me.
Maybe it was just my imagination getting
the best of me or maybe
it just took something
like this to show me
the truth that had been
there all along.
(eerie music)
- This is crazy, Zack.
Do you really expect for me
to take this stuff seriously?
- Read first, then decide.
(sighs)
- Tyge!
Tyge!
(sinister music)
(screaming)
(Ashley screams)
(macabre music)
(gasps)
(eerie music)
(screaming)
Mikki.
- [Tyge] This is the second
time I've found her knocked out.
She might have a concussion.
- [Deke] Why didn't you
call of ran ambulance?
What are we supposed to do for her?
- [Zack] Man, she don't look too good.
- [Tyge] I knew I shouldn't
have left her alone.
- Looks like she took one too many trips
to happy land.
- Holy shit.
- What are they for?
- It's for nightmares.
Like the one I'm having right now.
Get your own.
- I'll be in the kitchen.
Coffee's on.
- Why...
Why did you send me that tape?
- I'm sorry if the package was a little--
- Fucking morbid.
- I know this is difficult for you, Ash,
but I've lost people
that I care about too.
- Yeah and that's the
only reason I haven't
fucking ripped your balls off yet.
Look, Zack, I don't know
anything that you don't
already know.
Mikki didn't talk to me
much after the murders
at the Ditmer, I mean, She didn't talk
to much of anybody after that.
- Do you think Mikki may have left
a journal or a diary, something that would
give us an indication of what was going on
in her head when she committed suicide?
Something that would give us some details
about the murders.
- I don't think so.
What are you looking for?
- I'm wondering if maybe
she wrote something down
about what happened that night.
- You already know what happened.
Six people were killed, Mikki flipped out
and killed herself five years later.
End of story.
- Just hear me out, okay?
- Okay, talk.
- A friend of mine, a
cop, he showed me some
crime scene photos of the victims.
He's also who hooked me up with the copy
of the tape that I sent you.
Besides the fatal wounds on the victims,
there were other,
anomalies found on the bodies.
- Like what?
(eerie music)
- My aunt died exactly a
year after she was committed
back in '93.
There was nothing anybody
could ever do for her.
In the end she was like this animal,
completely void of human self awareness.
Just wasn't anything left inside at all.
- [Deke] Fuck.
Did she die in a fire?
- [Tyge] They just found her like that?
- [Zack] Just a shriveled husk.
Her skin split open like road kill frying
on hot asphalt.
It was as if she'd rotted from the inside.
- Is there a point to all of this.
- I've known my aunt
my whole life, Ashley.
She'd never hurt anyone.
Reports say she killed
six people but I do not
believe that.
- Zack, what's going on, buddy?
- [Zack] Something got
to my aunt that made
her go insane.
- That's it.
Zack please, I'm leaving.
- Something got to my aunt, the same thing
that Mikki saw that night.
- You're sick, I want,
all of you to get the hell
out right now.
- The same thing that
made Mikki kill herself.
- I said get out!
Right now, I'm not listening
to this shit anymore.
Get out, Tyge, now!
- Ashley would you calm down.
We're only trying to help.
- No, I came here to get away from this.
Not listen to this bullshit.
Hooray, hooray, at long
last I finally found out
why my sister slit her
wrists and bled to death
all over my grandparents farm.
How stupid of me.
I should've known all along.
Mikki just came down with a nasty case
of demonitis, right?
Well thank you Dr. Murdock.
Thank you Dr. Ledanakoh for your in depth
clinical observation.
I can finally put it all behind me.
- Ashley, please, what
do you want me to say?
- Nothing, why bother,
it won't change anything.
Are you having fun?
Is this amusing to you
seeing me like this,
knowing full well you
don't have the faintest
fucking idea what I've been through?
- No, I am trying to help--
- I'm sorry you don't understand.
I really am.
I don't understand it all myself.
And maybe I never will.
But maybe his is how Zack
decides to deal with it
by playing a stupid game.
But it's not a game, Tyge.
People are dead and you're looking
for some reason, some
cause that doesn't even
fucking exist.
Do me a favor, look for it somewhere else.
All of you.
I'm not going to be a
part of this anymore.
You guys go on your
scavenger hunt without me.
Don't let me ruin all the fun.
I'm going back home
tomorrow and forgetting
I ever fucking came back here.
- Ash.
- That's for being a bastard.
And for not being here when I needed you.
Sorry I kicked your ass, nothing personal.
- Well, that could've gone better.
- I think I'm starting to get use to this.
- That was fun.
Thank you both so much for
making me a part of that.
Now unless you have an encore planned,
I really need to split.
I got some work I need to
finish up for a project
on Monday.
- I want to go look around
her grandparents farm.
- What?
- There must be something there that Mikki
wanted Ashley to find, I mean, why else
would she make that tape?
- Don't you think the cops would've found
whatever it is you're looking for?
They searched the house after Mikki died.
- Why would the cops
do an extensive search
of the house if the house
was ruled a suicide?
They had no reason to suspect foul play.
There must be something
there the cops overlooked.
- Which would take forever to find.
Man, you don't even know what it is you're
looking for.
Or if there's even anything there to find.
- [Zack] What would it hurt
to go out there and just
look around?
- Count me out.
I'm just going to stay
around here and keep
an eye on Ashley.
- Call us if you change your mind.

♫ I should have told you
♫ This love can't wait
♫ One minute longer

♫ And if I weren't so shy
- Hi.
- Hi yourself.
What are you still doing here?
- Ah you know, I wanted to be here
just in case you passed out again.
You gonna hit me again?
I helped myself to the fridge.
Sorry.
- I noticed.
- I am sorry.
- I'm sorry, too.
Because I miss my medication.
- You never did tell me why you came back.
- I guess I was looking for something
that I didn't really need to know.
But, I wanted to remember
Mikki the way she was.
That's what was real.
It's just all this demon shit's starting
to get a little too morbid for me.
- Afraid you'll find monsters?
You know, when I was 11 years old,
I asked God to turn me into a monster.
(laughs)
I even covered my ass and told him
I'd be a good monster.
- Okay.
That's interesting.
Why may I ask would you ask
for something like that?
- I wanted to keep my
dad from beating my mom.
But, God never answered me.
It was too late.
(sighs)
We were about to do this shot
for a new film project I'm
working on in St. Louis
when I,
I just stepped out to take a phone call,
two of the actors were going to run over
some blocking,
the light fell from the scaffolding and
hit one of the actors on the head.
It split it wide open.
Blood everywhere.
(sighs)
My whole life's been a fantasy.
It's been make believe.
But at that moment,
at that one moment,
it was, it was like I
was 11 years old again,
afraid, alone.
(eerie music)
- It wasn't your fault, Tyge.
(Tyge sighs)
- Apparently dad was released from prison
a couple of years ago.
So I, went by the old house to see
if he still lived there.
- Why?
- Well, I wanted to show him
that I'm not that scared
little boy he can hurt anymore.
But, he moved away.
I don't know, maybe I'm
still that scared little boy,
scared that one day
I'll look like my father.
- [Ashley] Tyge, don't be ridiculous.
- Life just seems so meaningless.
Trivial.
- Chasing monsters isn't
going to change that.
There was a part of me
that wanted to believe
in Zack's stories too,
but look where it got him.
His life is consumed by it.
I don't want to live my life like that.
And neither should you.
- Maybe there is no magic in the world.
- Maybe you're just looking for it
in the wrong place.
(garage door motor whines)
- Ugh.
- Shit, what is that?
Eh, it smells like your mom's making
some of her famous ass chili again.
Whew.
(scoffs)
- Meat must have gone bad.
(slow piano music)
(sighs)
Guess we'll just wait for mom to get back
from her jog.
- [Ashley] Did you want
to go with Deke and Zach
to my grandparents farm?
- [Tyge] We don't have to, Ash.
- [Ashley] It'll give me a chance
to say goodbye to the place.
- [Tyge] Okay.
- [Zack] This place doesn't
look all that fuckin' abandoned.
- [Deke] I think they're just renting out
the land, you know, if you want to put
your cows here or something.
- [Zack] How do you know that there's not
somebody here right now?
- [Deke] I think it's just the cows, man.
- [Zack] This is off to a great start.
Yep, creepy just like I imagined.
- Let's get this over with.
- I can see why nobody's
bought the place yet.
- Come on, sweetie, let's check out
the big scary red barn.
- You wanna go check out the lake?
- That's fine with me.
- You guys want to look around the house?
- Mm, maybe later.
But there is a door around back that leads
down into the basement.
The locks always been busted.
- All right, give me
an hour to look around.
- [Deke] Who wants a roll in the hay?
- That should give me enough time to hide
Deke's body.
- [Deke] You don't know
what you're missing.
I'll be the needle in your haystack.
(slow piano music)

(scoffs)
- Fuck this.
- The last time I saw
Mikki, we were helping
a cousin move into an
apartment in the city.
I remember Mikki was
really quiet that day.
And just before I left, she gave me this.
It wasn't long after
that when those five kids
went missing up at that church summer camp
where she used to work.
They found the kids in
the lake a week later.
And they were all drowned.
(sighs)
Yep, that wasn't a very good year.
(ominous music)
(sighs)
- [Deke] You two have fun?
I know I sure did.
Is he okay?
- Mm, I don't know.
So, where's your better half?
- He's probably still in the house.
Well?
Ready to give up yet?
- Hey.
- How you doing?
Whatcha working on?
- A story for creative writing.
Except I've been in this
writer's block all week.
So I've just been trying word association
to work around it.
- Not much happening?
- Not really, but you look like you've got
a lot on your mind.
- It's probably nothing but I think
I'm going to take a quick walk down
to the Lomack farm and see if Mom's there.
- Why don't you just call down there?
- The phone's still disconnected.
Besides, I need to get
some fresh air anyway.
- You need some company?
(ominous music)
- Oh, Zack, this is very interesting.
We can watch it at my place.
I got to get going anyway, tyge needs
to get going.
- I'm fine.
I just got a little dizzy.
- I don't want to leave yet.
There's still some areas of the house
I haven't checked out.
- You're unbelievable.
- What?
- You don't know when to quit do you?
- What the hell are you talking about?
- This is what I'm talking about.
Look familiar?
Do you really expect us to believe
you found this stuff
lying around the house?
- I didn't find it lying around.
I found it in the closet
in the bedroom upstairs.
- Dammit, why don't you
knock this shit off, Zack?
- Why don't you fuck off?
- What did you say?
- Why can't you see what's happening here?
I wouldn't pretend to find this stuff.
Why would I do that?
All right look, I don't care if you guys
believe me or not.
Something really fucked is going on here.
Okay, I'm not making this up.
- Okay.
I've had enough of this.
You want to play Nancy Drew, that's fine,
but do it on your own.
When you guys are ready to leave,
I'll be outside.
- Deke, listen.
- No, you listen to me.
I was willing to play along at first.
I foolishly thought that
maybe you would come around.
But you'll always be a fucking psycho.
- I'm not a psycho.
(melancholy piano music)
- [Mason] Jessica tells me
you're moving into her place.
- [Zoe] Yeah, big sister commune.
But I didn't have much of a choice.
My parents kicked me out a week ago.
- Sorry to hear that.
- Ah screw 'em.
I'm a lot happier with Jess anyway..
- At least someone is.
(slow piano music)
Who the hell is that?
- [Zoe] Maybe your mom's
meeting some people
to show 'em the place.
Isn't that her job?
- Come on.
- [Zoe] Excuse me, what are we doing?
- [Mason] What's it look like?
Looking for my scatter-brained mother.
- [Zoe] Oh lay off, I
think your mom's sweet.
Hey, did she sell small poshy jocks?
- [Mason] Probably.
(laughs)
- [Zoe] Awesome.
- I don't know about that.
I really hate having to come home to see
that sad look in her eyes.
- Because of your dad?
- [Mason] Yep.
I know it's been six
years since he's died.
She still insists she's okay but,
I know better.
- Hey, you know, I was
thinking, what if that guy
you saw was some kind of deranged murderer
just posing as a client.
You ever think about that?
Huh, huh?
- This would definitely
be a good place for one.
(cows moo)
Hello.
- [Zoe] Okay, you need
to share whatever it is
that you're on.
There's nobody here, dude.
- Maybe he's shy.
- Or maybe we should go back to the house
and look for your mom there.
- What?
(growling)
(Mason screams)
(screaming continues)
- Mason.
- Did you kill him?
- Yeah, I think so.
(growling)
Mason, we've got to get out of here.
Come on, get up.
You can do it, come on.
(grunting)
Somebody help!
Help us!
(sinister music)
- Fuck.
- Deke!
- Deke!
- What's wrong with you?
- Get away from him.
He'll kill you.
- No!
- Deke!
- Here, he gets near, you hit him.
- What the fuck, Deke?
- Ah.
(eerie music)
Ah.
(growls)
- Get the fuck off of me.
- Are you okay?
- Get him in the heart.
- What?
- Get him in the heart.
Run, do it.
Do it!
(sinister music)
What's happening?
(eerie music)
(sighs)
- Who is he?
- According to his wallet,
his name's Mason Kerrigan.
He's lucky.
Any farther and it would've punctured
his brain.
He's lost a lot of blood though.
(monas in pain)
(sinister music)
- I'm going to get my notes.
We're gonna need 'em.
- He's not holding up too well.
- It isn't every day you
kill your best friend.
(sighs)
How can this all be happening?
All of Zack's stories,
they're all true.
Guess he found what we
were looking for after all.
- The girl's gone.
(sinister music)
(suspenseful music)
(gasps)
- Oh, oh.
(screams)
- Did you hear that?
- Who do you think it is?
- Mom.
- Hey, hey, listen, please don't move.
Be still.
Do you live around here?
- My mom, she lives up on the hill.
(grunts)
- [Tyge] Are we going
to just sit around here
and do nothing?
- Where's Zoe?
- [Zack] She's running around out there.
- She's resting on the
couch in the living room.
- [Tyge] We should be anywhere rather than
sitting around on our asses.
- Tyge's right, Zack.
We'll check out the immediate front area.
We'll come right back
if we don't find them.
Keep a close eye on him.
(eerie music)
(Sinister music)
(heavy breathing)
(growling)
(screams)
(Screams)
(coughing)
(grunting in pain)
(coughing)
- Hey, you sure you don't want some?
You never know.
It might be edible.
- [Jessica] It's been over two hours, Lee.
Something's wrong.
- [Lee] Hey relax, I'm sure everything's
going to be cool.
Pardon me, but didn't you and Mason
part ways yesterday?
What's with the sudden concern?
- I still care about him, Lee.
I still want to be his friend.
- You know I never could figure out
the whole relationship thing.
All that unnecessary work
just for a little pussy.
- Nice.
Must be rough still being a virgin.
- Yeah, thanks.
(loud banging outside)
What the hell was that?
- It's probably just Mason, he's always
screwing with us.
Come on cowboy, don't worry.
I'll protect ya.
(eerie music)
Bastard.
- What?
- Not you.
The prick knows I don't like being scared.
Come on, screw them,
I'm freezing out here.
- Wait a minute.
What the hell is that?
(eerie music)
- Well, now what?
- I think we should make
a run for the other house.
Take a look at what's on that videotape.
- Are you out of your mind?
- Zack, do you think
that's such a good idea?
I mean, we shouldn't leave
Mason here like this.
- We'll just have to take him with us.
- That tape is not worth
risking our necks for.
We're safer here.
Why don't you look over
your notes or something?
- Yeah, isn't there
something in there that let's
us know how to get out of this place?
- That would be a bit difficult.
Since they're gone.
(sinister music)
Wouldn't happen to know
where my notes went
would you, Tyge?
- You accusing me of something?
- I just want my notes
back that you stole.
- Tyge, that's enough.
- I didn't steal your goddamn notes.
Why the hell would I do that?
- Maybe you didn't want us to leave.
(sighs)
- All right, maybe I did take your notes.
But I got one question for ya?
Did you happen to touch any of those rocks
you found upstairs?
- [Ashley] Zack?
- How very interesting.
You're one of them, aren't you?
Didn't you think any of us would think
of that possibility after
what happened to Deke?
- What the hell is he talking about?
- He's a fucking liar.
- Oh come on, Ash, can't you
see what's going on here?
He's possessed and he's
trying to cover himself.
He's been leading us around in circles
since the first moment we got here.
- Shut your fucking mouth.
- Hey!
(banging on door)
- [Jessica] Hello,
somebody there, anybody?
- Who's that?
(Jessica screams)
- It's Jessica.
You gotta let her in.
- Okay, okay, shh.
Calm down, calm down.
We'll get it.
(Jessica bangs on door)
- [Jessica] Somebody help me, please.
- We'll get her.
Tyge, come on.
(banging on door continues)
now, Tyge, come on.
(eerie music)
- Ash, we've got to do
something about this.
After what he just did in there,
who knows.
What's her name, Zoe?
- Shut up.
- He might have killed that girl.
(banging on door continues)
(sinister music)
Think about what you're doing, Ashley.
- [Jessica] Somebody please let me in.
- He'll kill us.
It's too late.
There's no other way.
(growling)
(Jessica screams)
(sinister music)
(growls)
(Ashley screams)
- Block this door, block this door.
I gotta go get Zack and Mason.
- Hurry.
- Come on, we have to go.
- [Zack] What's going on out there?
- [Ashley] One of those
things got in the house.
Can you walk?
- I can make it.
(Tyge screams)
- Tyge.
- Ashley, no.
(eerie music)
- Zoe!
(growling)
- Move, go.
No lock on the door.
Get out of here.
Help me.
Get out of the way.
We gotta find a screwdriver.
- How are you holding up?
- Dizzy but I'll live.
(menacing music)
- Let's go, you okay, man?
- Tyge.
Tyge, where are you?
Where the hell is he?
I left him right three.
- Forget about him, Ash, he's gone.
- No.
- Come on, let's go, let's go.
(slow sinister music)
(growling)
- [Zack] Let's go, let's go.
Down here.
Go ahead.
(slow sinister music)
(screaming)
- Jessica.
(growling)
Lee, stop, it's me.
- Look out.
(Ashley screams in rage)
(growling)
(painful grunts)
(growling)
- Ashley, come on, there are more of them.
Ashley!
- Jessica!
- [Jessica] Mason.
Oh, my god.
What happened to you?
What's going on?
- It's okay, baby.
We're going to get out of this.
Everything's going to be all right.
Tell me what happened?
- We were waiting for you.
I heard a noise out on the porch.
And we went out to see what it was
because we thought it was you and Lee
found a rock and we went back inside.
He started chasing me.
He's trying to kill me.
- [Mason] Shh.
- Why is he stopping?
(growling)
(Jessica growls)
(yells in pain)
- Hey!
- [Zack] Dammit.
(Lee growls)
- [Ashley] Jesus.
- [Mason] Ashley!
(Lee growls)
(screaming)
- Ashley, come on.
(Mason continues screaming)
(upbeat sinister music)
(screaming)
(sinister music)
It's going numb.
- What the hell are we gonna do now?
- We got to get to the other house.
- Look, that video
tape's not going to work.
- I can fix it.
I can give it a shot at least.
(grunts)
We're out of options.
Behind you!
(screams)
(growling)
(Ashley screams)
Ashley!
(Ashley whimpers)
- Help!
(sinister music)
(whimpers)
- You okay?
Ashley.
Ashley!
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I think so.
(low howling)
(upbeat macabre music)
- Get ready.
(growling)
Back door.
(upbeat suspenseful music)
Come on.
(banging on door)
(growling)
- Where are you going?
- Turn that light out.
Draw as little attention
to ourself as possible.
(slow macabre music)
- What are you doing?
- I'm just performing a bit
of emergency surgery here.
Can you shine your
flashlight down here, please?
(banging on door continues)
(growling)
- Ashley I hope you find this.
I'm sorry I didn't talk to
you about all this before,
but you wouldn't have
understood the things
that I saw that night.
The gift that I was given.
But, the gift was never meant for me.
It was always meant for you.
I was running out of time.
I knew that if I made
the ultimate sacrifice,
that you would eventually
find your way home.
Of course, there is always the chance
that you move on with your life.
That you'd forget all about me.
But if you're watching this right now,
I know that you still
harbor the pain inside.
(loud banging on door)
I love you, Ashley.
(slow suspenseful music)
- [Ashley] What do you
think she meant by that?
- What?
- The stuff about the gift.
What the hell does that mean?
- I don't know.
I try to figure all this out.
It doesn't make any sense.
I don't know why all this is happening
in the first place.
The demons, the possessions,
the invisible barriers.
There is no Cherokee elder descendant.
And I always thought the cursed grounds
were on my uncle's property.
So if that were the case--
- Then why is all this happening here?
- It doesn't add up.
- Hey, remember yesterday, when you said
that there must have been something inside
Mikki to make her go and kill herself?
Did you mean she was possessed?
- Oh shit.
(growling)
If Mikki was possessed,
she managed to leave
my uncle's property,
that means the contagion
is no longer confined to those grounds.
It got out.
- So she could spread it to other places.
- When she bled all over the farm,
she spread the contagion to that land.
So that if a descendant
from her bloodline,
in this case, you, steps onto that land--
- Trap goes off.
How can we get out of this, Zack?
How do we stop this?
- I know the story is incomplete,
the last thing my uncle
told me before he died
was that he made some new translations
that he would sit down and talk with me
about them when he had some free time.
After the murders, when
I finally got my hands
on his notes, some of the
pages had been ripped out.
- The pages Mikki was burning?
(banging)
(growling)
There has to be a way out of here.
There's got to be a way.
- My uncle did tell me one way.
He said if there's no one left alive
on the cursed ground,
then the barriers crumble
and the demons go back to sleep.
Yeah, I don't like that
option much either.
- Where in the hell are you going?
- Garage.
I can get a weapon there.
Coming?
Look, it doesn't make any sense for us
to stay here.
You know they're going to
find us here eventually.
If we're going to beat this thing,
we've got to stop running.
So come on.
(suspenseful music)
- [Ashley] Over here.
There it is.
What's wrong?
- Dammit.
- What's going on, Zack?
What's the matter?
Zack?
- I need you to do me a favor.
- Okay.
- I need you to kill me.
- What?
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's not funny.
- My uncle was right.
He was right about me.
When I found those rocks in the bedroom
upstairs, I couldn't believe it.
You've looked for something
like that your whole life
and then, it's so surreal, it
was fantastic, you know, I...
After Deke, I knew it
was a matter of time.
I can feel it.
It's like a sickness inside me.
It's everywhere.
Do it, Ash.
- Zack, please, there
has to be another way.
- There is not other way,
I can't fight it anymore.
Please, Ash.
- I can't do it.
We have to find another way.
- Ash!
Kill me!
Don't let me become like
one of them, please.
Please.
Kill me.
- I can't.
Zack.
Where are you going?
- Oh, I'll be damned.
- What is it?
What did you find?
Zack.
(Zack growls)
- Oh fuck!
Tyge, look out.
(whimpering)
