[PANICKED CRIES]

[CRASH]

NO--NO!

NO, PLEASE!

PLEASE, NO...

[WHIMPERING]

AAH!

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING IN AN HOUR.

WHAT'S THE TRIP LOCATOR SAY, DAD?

100 MILES.

NO PROBLEM. THERE'S GAS IN LESS THAN 50.

WILL YOU FILL IT WITH PREMIUM, PLEASE?

SELF-SERVE. NO PREMIUM.

HEY...I'D LIKE ONE OF THESE.

WHAT'D IT COST?

WELL, THEY'RE NOT CHEAP.

ABOUT AS BIG AS MY TRAILER

AND A HELL OF A LOT NICER.

[FLY BUZZING]

WHAT DO YOU THINK--

COW?

MAYBE, LIKE, SOME GERIATRIC COW.

ROAD KILL.

3 DAYS OLD. DISGUSTING.

Patty: ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS,

YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T EAT IT.

WE'VE GOT STUFF IN THE CAR.

HEY.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FOOD?

NO, NO, UH... THE FOOD'S FINE.

WE JUST WEREN'T THAT HUNGRY.

CAN WE HAVE THE CHECK?

SURE.

SO, WHERE, EXACTLY, IS THIS GHOST TOWN?

MINING TOWN.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S STILL THERE.

CHECK IT OUT.

ETHAN'S DAD HAD THIS MAP

FROM THE FORTIES OR SOMETHING.

AND THE TOWN, WEAVER, IS ON THE OLD MAP,

BUT IT'S NOT ON ANY OF THE NEW ONES.

COULD BE REALLY COOL.

DON'T YOU HAVE ENOUGH PICTURES

OF FALLING DOWN BUILDINGS AND RUSTY JUNK?

COME ON, DAD, WASN'T THAT THE DEAL?

WE'D ALL DO THE WHOLE FAMILY ADVENTURE THING,

BUT IF ANY OF US WANT A SIDE TRIP, WE'D DO IT?

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE TURNOFF'S

ONLY A COUPLE MILES FROM HERE.

SO...HOW FAR IS THIS MOTEL TONIGHT?

ABOUT 200 MILES.

I'VE GOT TO CHECK IN WITH THE OFFICE,

SO YOU GUYS FIGURE IT OUT.

I'M WITH YOU EITHER WAY.

THAT'S, WHAT, 3 HOURS?

YOU WANT TO GET THERE AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON

AND THEN WHAT, WE WATCH TV?

I WANT TO SWIM.

YOU'LL SWIM, JUST LATER.

COME ON, DAD,

WE'RE NEVER GONNA BE HERE AGAIN.

WE'LL SEE.

THERE'S SUPPOSEDLY AN OLD MINING TOWN CALLED WEAVER.

IT'S UP IN THE HILLS NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.

YOU EVER HEARD OF IT?

BILLY, YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A TOWN CALLED WEAVER?

CAN'T HELP YOU THERE, MISTER.

YEAH, WELL, IT'S ON THIS OLD MAP--

NEVER HEARD OF IT.

HOW WAS YOUR MEAL?

GREAT. IT WAS GREAT.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

NO, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT FROM THE DISCOUNTS.

NO. IS ARTHUR HAPPY WITH HIS TOUR SCHEDULE?

MM-HMM.

SHE'S ALWAYS ON THE PHONE, DAD.

WELL, SHE IS NOW.

SHE'S GOT 2 BOOKS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK.

MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME.

LISTEN, KATIE,

PATTY'S A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY NOW,

AND SHE'S PUT A LOT OF EFFORT

INTO MAKING THIS WORK,

INCLUDING TAKING OFF AT A BAD TIME.

SO CUT HER A LITTLE SLACK, WILL YOU?

SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO WEAVER.

LITTLE MINING TOWN.

WE GOT A MAP SAYS THERE'S A TURNOFF

A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD.

WEAVER?

MM, I DON'T KNOW ANY WEAVER.

OH.

WANT SOME ADVICE?

STAY ON THE PAVEMENT.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

WHAT I SAID.

RIGHT. THANKS.

MAN, AND SHE WONDERED WHY WE WEREN'T EATING THE FOOD.

[IMITATING WAITRESS] "BURNT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

'CAUSE WE CAN INCINERATE THAT PUPPY A LITTLE MORE."

THEY PROBABLY CRUISE THE HIGHWAY EVERY MORNING

LOOKING FOR THE LUNCH SPECIAL.

YEAH, BUT IF IT'S REALLY FLATTENED,

IT'S HARD TO GET THE HAIR OUT.

[ALL GROAN] OH, GROSS!

OH, GROSS!

THAT PLACE WAS WEIRD.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WEIRD KIND.

KEEP YOUR EYE OUT, DAD.

IT SHOULD BE RIGHT UP HERE SOMEWHERE.

OH. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A ROAD RIGHT UP HERE.

UM...

HOW FAR IS THIS RUIN SUPPOSED TO BE?

ACCORDING TO THE MAP,

IT SHOULD BE JUST IN THOSE HILLS.

ABOUT 35 MILES.

35 MILES?

YOU REALLY WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS PLACE?

I'M PSYCHED.

WELL?

WELL...

LET'S GO TO WEAVER.

ALL RIGHT! PATTY ROCKS!

LET'S GO.

HEY, CHECK IT OUT.

Patty: LOOKS LIKE AN OLD PLANE.

CAN WE GO LOOK?

WELL...NO PROBLEM.

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HERE, DAD?

I DON'T KNOW. A LONG TIME.

THE SIXTIES, MAYBE.

IT'S AMAZING.

PROBABLY RAN OUT OF GAS.

YOU DON'T JUST NOSE IN LIKE THIS

IF YOU RUN OUT OF GAS.

YOU GLIDE IT IN AND TRY TO LAND IT.

IF HE CAME STRAIGHT IN, IT'D BE IN 1,000 PIECES.

MAYBE IT WAS NIGHTTIME

AND THEIR INSTRUMENTS WERE BROKE.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE GOING DOWN

UNTIL IT HIT.

[HORN HONKS]

Kate: COME ON, GUYS, LET'S GO.

GOT ENOUGH PICTURES, MATT?

YEAH.

THIS IS SO COOL.

IT'S LIKE ONE SECOND YOU'RE ALIVE,

AND THEN, WHAM, YOU'RE TOAST.

NOT SO COOL IF YOU'RE THE TOAST.

[HORN HONKS]

OH, COME ON, MATT. LET'S GO.

I BET IT DIDN'T EVEN HURT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HOLD THE ROOM.

I WONDER IF THIS MINING TOWN EXISTS.

IF WE LOOK AROUND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR...

WE OUGHT TO MAKE THE MOTEL AROUND 9:00.

OK.

NO...COMPLETELY DEAD.

MUST BE THE MOUNTAINS.

HEY, LOOK AT THIS.

WE'RE HEADING EAST, RIGHT?

YEAH.

A COUPLE MILES AGO, THE COMPASS SAID

WE WERE HEADING EAST.

NOW IT SAYS WE'RE HEADING SOUTH.

WE HAVEN'T CHANGED DIRECTION.

OH, THERE WE GO.

OOPS. AND NOW IT DIES ALTOGETHER.

[ETHAN HUMMING EERIE MUSIC]

YOU ARE ENTERING A WORLD

WHERE COMPASSES GO CRAZY...

AIRPLANES FALL FROM THE SKY...

CELL PHONES DON'T WORK.

A WORLD WHERE...

MORONS ARE STILL MORONS.

WOW.

OH, THIS IS WAY COOL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE BACK AT THE DINER

KNEW ABOUT THIS.

MAYBE THEY DID.

YEAH. THEY DON'T WANT TOURISTS

RIPPING IT OFF.

WELL, I DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGNS.

NOTHING THAT SAID "NO TRESPASSING."

WOW.

WOW.

MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

I MEAN, IT'S NOT ON ANY OF THE NEW MAPS.

THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.

SURE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY'S BEEN HERE.

WHY WOULD EVERYONE JUST LEAVE?

THIS WHOLE MOUNTAIN LOOKS LIKE AN OLD MINE.

HEY, GUYS, COME LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?

Patty: IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST WALKED AWAY

AND NEVER CAME BACK.

HEY...A MANUAL TYPEWRITER.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THESE IN A WHILE.

HEY, ETHAN, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE SOME OF THIS

AND SEE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS?

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU SURE?

YEAH, BUT YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.

DON'T EVEN JOKE, GUYS.

HEY, IF ANYONE'S HUNGRY,

I THINK THEY'RE STILL SERVING NEXT DOOR.

Matt: OH, THIS IS TOO WEIRD.

REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO BODIE?

IT WAS A LOT LIKE THIS.

OLD MINING TOWN,

AND THE FURNITURE WAS STILL OUT.

KITCHEN... DISHES EVERYWHERE.

BUT THAT WAS A STATE PARK.

THEY HAVE RANGERS LIVING THERE

TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS DISTURBED.

THIS CALENDAR IS FROM 1948.

THAT WAS 54 YEARS AGO.

I THOUGHT IT WAS, LIKE, 1800s OR SOMETHING.

WELL, THAT'S WHEN IT WAS BUILT,

BUT...ELECTRIC LIGHTING, GENIUS.

SO AFTER LUNCH ONE DAY, EVERYONE JUST LEFT?

HEY, DAD, I'M GONNA TAKE SOME PICTURES

OVER HERE, OK?

YEAH. JUST BE CAREFUL, WILL YOU?

THE FLOOR IN HERE IS NOT THAT STABLE.

[DOOR CREAKS]

WHOA.

UHH! CHILL!

YOU CHILL. LOOK AT THIS THING!

YOW.

THAT'S SICK. WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW. SKIN OF SOMETHING.

YEAH, BUT WHAT?

DON'T DO THAT.

JUST LEAVE IT ALONE, OK?

LOOK HOW THEY PAINTED ON IT AND STUFF.

LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE.

WELL, IT'S TIME TO GO, ANYWAY,

SO LET'S NOT WORRY ABOUT IT, OK?

BUT THAT WAS A SKIN, DAD,

AND IT WAS, LIKE, PUT THERE ON PURPOSE.

Ethan: I SAW A MOVIE

WHERE THEY HAD WEIRD STUFF

LIKE BONES IN A HOUSE.

AND THEN A GUY WITH A CHAIN SAW,

AND HE WENT AROUND-- ETHAN.

SORRY.

[ENGINE WON'T CATCH]

[ENGINE WON'T CATCH]

VERY FUNNY, DAD.

I'M NOT JOKING, MATT.

[ENGINE WON'T CATCH]

HUH. LIGHTS WERE OFF,

TRANSMISSION'S IN PARK.

WELL, LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

LOOKS LIKE AN ENGINE.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS, TOO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

MM.

CAR WON'T START.

TELL ME WE'RE NOT SPENDING THE NIGHT HERE.

Jim: MATT, PASS ME THE CHEESE THERE.

Patty: THIS WASN'T SO BAD.

IT WORKED OUT PRETTY GOOD.

WHAT, EXACTLY, IS VAPOR LOCK, DAD?

WELL, IT'S, UH...

WELL, IT'S, UH...

A KIND OF HEAT... CAR THING.

WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR A WHILE,

LIKE WE DID TODAY, AND THEN STOP,

VAPOR CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE FUEL LINE.

YEAH, THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS WAIT

UNTIL IT DISSIPATES.

RIGHT.

HOPEFULLY IT'LL START UP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

IT'S THAT WORD THAT WORRIES ME.

WHAT WORD?

HOPEFULLY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW

ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF, PATTY?

IT'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT BEING AN EDITOR.

WE PUT OUT THE FOOL'S GUIDE TO CAR REPAIR.

I'VE HAD TO READ 'EM ALL.

[CHUCKLES] COOL.

[OWL HOOTING]

HEY...

LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

THIS WAS BEHIND A BOX.

IT'S ALL DIRTY.

THAT'LL PLAY IN OURS.

WELL, LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

Woman on video: WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH ROOM--

Man on video: OK...OK...

[SEVERAL VOICES]

All in video: WHOO-HOO!

[WIND INTERFERENCE IN MICROPHONE]

Ethan: HEY, THAT'S THE PLACE WE STOPPED.

Patty: THERE'S OUR WAITRESS.

HEY, THAT STORE'S HERE.

UH-HUH.

Woman: WHAT'S UP?

NOTHING HERE.

I KNOW. IT'S GREAT.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

THIS IS WILD.

BRIAN'S BEEN MISSING FOR OVER AN HOUR.

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING, WE KEEP LOOKING,

BUT THE CAR WON'T START, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

[VOICE QUAVERING] I-IT'S JUST ME NOW.

EVERYBODY'S GONE.

[WOMAN CRYING, GASPING]

MITCHELL AND BRIAN AND STEVE.

OH, MY GOD...

NO--NO!

WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

[MUFFLED VOICES]

Patty: IT COULD JUST BE A JOKE.

THE ONE GUY THAT WAS MISSING...

MAYBE HE'S PLAYING A PRACTICAL JOKE

ON THE OTHERS, TRYING TO SCARE THEM.

THEY'RE DEAD.

I DON'T THINK--

YOU DON'T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

Jim: CUT IT OUT, KATIE.

DON'T USE THAT TONE OF VOICE.

FINE. SORRY.

THAT LOOKED PLENTY REAL TO ME.

AND SOMETHING WAS AFTER HER.

HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S NOT STILL HERE?

YEAH. ALL RIGHT,

EVERYBODY JUST COOL IT, OK.

NOW, WE DON'T KNOW THAT ANYTHING'S HERE,

AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT TAPE IS.

WELL, WHAT COULD IT BE?

WELL, IT COULD BE A--A STUDENT FILM.

OR, LIKE PATTY SAID, IT COULD BE

A PRACTICAL JOKE THAT SOMEBODY LEFT BEHIND.

I MEAN, THERE'S ANY NUMBER OF EXPLANATIONS FOR IT.

IT'S A...

LOOK, WHATEVER IT IS,

WHAT--WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT TAPE

HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO.

Patty: ABSOLUTELY. LOOK AT THIS.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK

THIS HAS BEEN SITTING HERE?

ONE, 2 YEARS? EVEN LONGER.

THAT'S RIGHT. AND THERE'S NO SIGN

ANYBODY'S BEEN IN THIS TOWN.

THERE'S NOT A FOOTPRINT OUT THERE,

NOT A TIRE TRACK.

THERE'S NO TRASH BLOWING AROUND IN THE STREET.

SO I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS WHIPPING YOURSELVES UP

OVER NOTHING, OK?

ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S, UH--

LET'S LAY OUR SLEEPING BAGS OUT ON THE FLOOR...

GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,

AND TOMORROW MORNING WE'LL BE OUT OF HERE.

OK? GET TO IT. COME ON.

THIS IS BAD, MAN.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR DAD SAYS.

YOU SOUND SCARED.

YOU SCARED?

HELL, NO.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD A GUN.

YEAH, WELL, I--

I KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE.

I ONLY BROUGHT IT ALONG 'CAUSE--

WELL, IN CASE WE BROKE DOWN OR SOMETHING.

YOU STILL SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME.

RIGHT.

SORRY.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW

I WOULDN'T ARGUE AGAINST IT.

THAT TAPE... PRETTY SCARY.

YEAH.

I DON'T THINK THAT GIRL WAS ACTING.

WELL, IF SHE WAS, SHE WAS REALLY GOOD.

[CLOSES CAR DOOR]

I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT WHOEVER WAS AFTER THEM

WOULD STILL BE HERE.

NO.

NO. NOT AFTER SO MUCH TIME.

[CLOSES CAR DOOR]

THEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

RIGHT.

SO YOU WENT TO GET THE GUN

BECAUSE...

I HATE TO BE WRONG.

LET'S GO.

Jim: I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETIMES I DON'T GET IT.

I KNOW.

BUT MATT'S OLDER.

I THINK HE JUST HIDES IT BETTER.

YEAH, WELL, KATIE DOESN'T...

BUT SHE'S SUCH A SWEET KID.

WHERE DOES THAT ATTITUDE COME FROM?

FROM BEING 12?

IT'S HARD ENOUGH WHEN YOUR MOM DIES

AND YOUR DAD REMARRIES.

IT'S TOUGH.

THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO.

I DON'T KNOW.

I WAS SORT OF HOPING THAT THIS TRIP

WOULD BE A...

I DON'T KNOW.

A BONDING THING?

YEAH, YOU KNOW,

NEW FAMILY CREATES NEW MEMORIES.

OH. WELL, WE'RE DEFINITELY DOING THAT.

OH, NO.

I'LL FILL IT.

NO, JUST LEAVE IT.

IT'S OK.

REALLY.

[OWL HOOTS]

[BUMP]

[BUMP]

[BUMP]

[BUMP]

[BUMP]

[BUMP]

[SIGHS]

[SHRIEK]

DAD? Patty: JIM!

DAD!

DAD! Patty: JIM!

Matt: WHO'S UP THERE?!

Kate: DAD!

HEY, IT'S ME, IT'S ME. EVERYTHING'S OK.

IT'S ME, IT'S ME. IT'S JUST ME.

EVERYTHING'S OK.

I DON'T THINK.

NO, THERE'S NOTHING UP THERE.

NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. DON'T BE SCARED.

YOU WERE SCARED.

WELL, I-- I HEARD THIS NOISE,

AND I WENT UP THERE TO CHECK IT OUT.

IT WAS-- IT WAS NOTHING.

IT WAS JUST THE WIND BLOWING AGAINST THE WINDOWS.

WHY DID YOU YELL?

WELL, I-- IT WAS JUST THIS--THIS OWL.

IT CAME OUT OF...

IT SURPRISED ME, THAT'S ALL.

LOOK, EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.

JUST GET BACK IN YOUR BAGS NOW AND...

JUST GO BACK TO BED. COME ON.

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, I'M SURE.

COME ON, EVERYTHING'S FINE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

GO BACK TO SLEEP, HUH?

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Jim: YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT.

I WANT PANCAKES.

ANYPLACE BUT THAT DINER.

WELL, IF YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT TOWN,

SO CAN I.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN PACKING?

'CAUSE WE'RE OUTTA HERE.

IF THE CAR STARTS.

NOW, THINK POSITIVELY, KATIE.

DAD, YOUR CAR IS GONE.

I DON'T GET IT.

I WOULD HAVE HEARD SOMETHING.

WHERE ARE THE KEYS?

[CREAKING]

SOMEBODY STOLE THE CAR, AND THAT'S IT.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THEY MUST HAVE FOLLOWED US HERE

AND THEN SOMEHOW DISABLED THE CAR

WHILE WE WERE LOOKING AROUND.

SO WHY DIDN'T WE HEAR THE CAR START LAST NIGHT?

I DON'T THINK THEY STARTED IT.

NO, I THINK THEY-- THEY SLIPPED IT INTO NEUTRAL

AND PUSHED IT DOWN THE STREET ONTO A TRAILER.

IT'S PROBABLY HALFWAY TO MEXICO BY NOW.

[SIGHS]

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE

TO WALK OUT OF HERE AS A GROUP.

I KNOW.

MATT, I WANT YOU TO STAY HERE WITH PATTY AND KATE.

ETHAN, YOU'LL COME WITH ME. IS THAT OK?

THAT'S COOL.

DAD, THAT GAS STATION MUST BE 35 MILES BACK.

WELL, THAT'S IF WE GO BACK BY THE ROAD,

BUT IF WE CUT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE DESERT,

IT SHOULD BE MORE LIKE 20.

20's NOTHING.

YEAH, WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE IN, UH,

I DON'T KNOW, 6, 7 HOURS.

Kate: THIS IS A BAD IDEA,

ANOTHER BAD IDEA.

WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER.

EVERYBODY HIKE OUT.

HON, 20 MILES IS A LONG WAY.

NOW, IF SOMEONE CAN'T MAKE IT,

THEN WE'RE ALL IN TROUBLE.

ETHAN AND I OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GO FASTER

THAN THE GROUP.

WE'RE GONNA BE SKINNED AND NAILED TO THE WALL,

AND NOBODY'S EVER GONNA KNOW.

HEY, SWEETIE,

WHOEVER WAS HERE LAST NIGHT

WAS HERE FOR THE CAR, NOT FOR US.

NOW THEY'RE GONE.

KATIE, NOTHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN.

PROMISE.

AND YOUR DAD WILL BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

THE WATER BOTTLE STILL INSIDE?

YEAH.

I DON'T ANTICIPATE ANY TROUBLE.

IF I DID, I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU HERE.

I WANT YOU TO LEAVE THE GUN.

OH, BUT YOU HATE GUNS.

YOU EVER USE ONE?

YEAH.

MY DAD USED TO TAKE ME TO THE RANGE.

I DON'T LIKE GUNS,

BUT I CAN SHOOT.

TRUST ME.

WHAT ELSE DON'T I KNOW?

OH. WELL...

LOTS.

I KNOW IT'S OUR BEST OPTION...

BUT I DON'T LIKE YOU GOING OFF.

SO...

GET BACK FAST, OK?

OK.

Jim: YEAH, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO.

SEPTEMBER.

LISTEN, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK,

WE CAN STOP ANY TIME, HUH?

NO, IT'S OK.

I DIDN'T KNOW MATT THEN.

HE TALKS ABOUT HER A LOT, THOUGH.

YEAH?

JUST HOW GREAT HIS MOM WAS

AND HOW HE MISSES HER AND STUFF.

HE NEVER SAYS HOW SHE DIED.

DID YOU EVER ASK HIM?

HE JUST SAYS SHE GOT SICK.

WELL, IT WAS AN ANEURISM.

IT HAPPENED REALLY QUICK,

AND SHE WAS GONE.

OH. SORRY ABOUT THAT, MR. HENLEY--

WHOA!

DON'T MOVE.

OH, MAN.

NO, NO. NOW, JUST DON'T MOVE.

JUST DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE, ALL RIGHT?

JUST GET IT AWAY FROM ME.

NOW, JUST DON'T TALK.

OW! AAH!

I GOT BIT!

I GOT BIT!

MY BATTERIES ARE DEAD.

DUH. YOU ONLY USE THEM 24/7.

ARE WE JUST GONNA SIT HERE ALL DAY?

THE FACT IS, IF SOMEONE'S AFTER US,

THEY COULD GET US JUST AS GOOD SITTING INSIDE

AS THEY COULD WALKING AROUND OUTSIDE.

BUT DAD SAID THERE WAS NO ONE HERE, ANYWAY.

WE STICK TOGETHER, ALL RIGHT?

IT HURTS!

IT REALLY HURTS.

I DON'T WANNA DIE, PLEASE!

YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE.

YOU WEREN'T BITTEN.

YEAH, I WAS.

THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY.

IT GOT YOUR WALLET.

SOME OF THESE ARE REALLY OLD.

THIS ONE'S FROM 1850.

GREAT EPITAPH. LISTEN.

"POORLY LIVED AND POORLY DIED,

POORLY BURIED, AND NO ONE CRIED."

COOL.

GOTTA GET THAT.

PEOPLE DIDN'T LIVE VERY LONG BACK THEN.

SOME OF THESE GUYS WERE DEAD IN THEIR 20s.

MM-HMM.

WELL, MINING WAS DANGEROUS WORK.

HEY, GUYS...

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS.

I THINK DAD MIGHT HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT THAT TAPE.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

THAT WAS WEIRD.

THOSE COLORS,

IT WASN'T A RATTLESNAKE.

NO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS?

I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

WHAT'S THAT?

IS THAT A HALLUCINATION?

I DON'T THINK SO.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S NOT A MIRAGE.

WE'RE TOO CLOSE.

COME ON.

DAD SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT US.

SOMEBODY KILLED THOSE PEOPLE,

AND IT WASN'T TOO LONG AGO.

MATT, WE DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY KILLED ANYBODY.

YEAH, WE DO.

IT WAS ON TAPE. I'M NOT A KID, PATTY.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU ARE.

THEN LET'S NOT PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING'S COOL,

'CAUSE IT'S NOT.

SO NOT.

OK. BUT A GRAVE DOES NOT MEAN MURDER.

HEY, IF NOBODY'S HERE, NO PROBLEM.

THEN THAT'S OUR ASSUMPTION.

WE--WE HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD ANYTHING HERE, RIGHT?

WE HAVE NO REASON TO THINK OTHER THAN

BEING SPOOKED BY SOME GRAVES

THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS HERE.

WELL, WHAT'S THE PLAN IF WE'RE NOT ALONE?

YOUR DAD DIDN'T LEAVE US WITHOUT PROTECTION.

WHOA.

NOW, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA NEED IT.

BUT IF WE DO...

WE'LL BE GLAD WE HAVE IT.

YOU SURE?

NO, IT'S GLASS.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY PUT GLASS OUT IN THE DESERT?

COME ON.

"GROUND ZERO:

"SITE OF THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL DETONATION

"OF THE NEUTRON DEVICE.

"SEPTEMBER 21, 1948.

ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION."

THAT LIKE AN ATOMIC BOMB?

SORT OF.

WOULDN'T IT HAVE LEVELED THAT OLD TOWN?

NO. THE NEUTRON BOMB WAS A RADIATION DEVICE.

IT WAS DESIGNED TO KILL PEOPLE,

LEAVE THE BUILDINGS STANDING.

NO WAY.

YEAH.

MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RADIATION.

THEY NEVER USED IT.

SO WHERE'S THIS GLASS COME FROM?

WELL, WE'RE STANDING RIGHT WHERE THE BOMB EXPLODED.

GROUND ZERO.

INTENSE HEAT FROM THE DETONATION MUST HAVE...

MUST HAVE TURNED THE SAND INTO GLASS.

WOW.

ARE WE, LIKE, GETTING RADIATED NOW?

NO, THAT WAS OVER 50 YEARS AGO.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S WHAT KILLED EVERYBODY

IN THE TOWN?

NO. I'M SURE THEY WERE EVACUATED.

I JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THEY LEFT SO MUCH STUFF BEHIND.

COME ON. WE'VE BEEN WALKING ABOUT 3 HOURS.

WE GOTTA MAKE TIME. LET'S GO.

Patty: NO.

NO, HE SAID HE'D BE BACK IN THE AFTERNOON SOMETIME.

HE SHOULD BE BACK BY NOW.

HE'S ONLY BEEN GONE 5 HOURS.

IF HE'S NOT BACK BY SUNDOWN,

WE WALK BACK OUT,

STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD TO THE DINER.

THAT'S 35 MILES.

BUT IT WILL BE DARK, IT WON'T BE SO HOT,

AND--AND WE'LL JUST TAKE IT EASY.

IT'S A BAD IDEA.

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HELL'S OUT THERE?

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HELL IS HERE?!

STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!

NOW...

I MAY JUST BE YOUR STEPMOTHER,

BUT I'M THE ADULT,

AND I WILL DECIDE WHAT WE DO

AND WHEN WE DO IT.

YOU GUYS GOT THAT?

I GOT IT.

YOU ARE JUST MY STEPMOTHER.

NEVER TRIED TO BE ANYTHING ELSE, KATE.

NOW, IF YOU TWO CAN COEXIST FOR A MOMENT,

I'M GONNA GO FIND A LADIES ROOM,

SUCH AS IT IS.

GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT I DECIDE

WHEN I GET BACK.

[CREAKING]

AAH!

[GROANS]

OHH. OW.

MATT!

HELP!

I'M DOWN HERE!

MATT!

KATE!

OHH. OH.

YEAH...YOU'RE OK.

YEAH. YEAH.

OHH!

WHOA.

LONG WAY DOWN.

Ethan: CAN I HAVE SOME MORE WATER?

THAT'S THE LAST OF IT.

SHOULD BE GETTING CLOSER.

ANOTHER HOUR?

MAYBE. 2 AT THE MOST.

NO NEED TO CARRY THAT ANYMORE.

IT'S JUST ME NOW.

EVERYBODY'S GONE.

OH...MY GOD.

RACHEL AND BRIAN AND STEVE...

OH, MY GOD.

NO--NO!

NO WAY THAT'S NOT REAL.

PATTY SHOULD BE BACK BY NOW.

OHH.

UHH.

YEAH.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

OHH.

PIECE OF CAKE.

OH!

[GASPING]

OH!

NO!

PATTY?

PATTY!

PATTY, WHERE ARE YOU?!

PATTY!

SHH.

LISTEN.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

SHE DIDN'T GO FAR, OK?

LET'S NOT PANIC.

LET'S JUST CHECK EACH OF THESE BUILDINGS.

PATTY, WHERE ARE YOU?!

PATTY!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[RUMBLE]

WHAT THE HELL?

[HEAVY BREATHING CONTINUES]

PATTY?

PATTY.

[LOUD BREATHING]

PATTY!

PATTY?

WE GOTTA BE GETTING CLOSE.

I BET WE CAN SEE THE GAS STATION

FROM THE TOP.

YEAH, I BET WE CAN.

I'M GOING TO SEE.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

ETHAN!

ETHAN?

ETHAN?!

ETHAN!

ETHAN!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

[CLATTERING]

WHAT...

WHAT IS THIS?

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

THIS IS JIM'S.

OH...

OH!

ETHAN!

ETHAN!

ETHAN!

ETHAN!

OH, NO.

NO.

NO. NO.

PATTY?

PATTY?

PATTY, WHERE ARE YOU?

PATTY!

COME ON, LET'S TRY THE OTHER SIDE.

I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T.

PATTY?!

[FAINTLY] I'M DOWN HERE! HELP ME!

SHE'S SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

PATTY, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M HERE! I'M DOWN HERE!

PATTY, ARE YOU OK?

YES, I'M OK.

I'M COMING DOWN!

MATT, DON'T COME DOWN HERE!

WE NEED A ROPE.

YOU STAY HERE.

I DON'T CARE, I'M COMING DOWN!

MATT!

MATT!

[ENGINE DEAD]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[HEAVY BREATHING]

MATT! MATT!

JUST TOSS THE ROPE.

THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN HERE.

I DON'T CARE, I'M COMING DOWN.

DON'T COME DOWN HERE!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT IT'S DOWN THERE.

AN ANIMAL OR WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

MATT, YOU GO FIRST. I'LL FOLLOW.

KATE'S UP THERE.

SHE'S REALLY SCARED. YOU GO.

[RUNNING FOOTSTEPS]

HURRY UP, YOU GUYS!

MATT, GO NOW.

OK.

[GROWLING]

WHAT WAS THAT?!

[GROWLING]

HURRY, MATT! HURRY!

IT'S COMING! IT'S COMING!

SHOOT IT, PATTY! SHOOT IT!

[HONKING HORN]

DAD! DAD!

PATTY FELL DOWN THE MINE SHAFT,

AND MATT WENT DOWN,

BUT SOMETHING'S THERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT IT.

I FIRED 3 SHOTS AND IT STOPPED COMING.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE HELL'S DOWN THERE.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. COME ON! COME ON!

THE CAR? WHERE'D YOU FIND IT.

THE DESERT.

WHERE'S ETHAN?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW?! IS HE AT THE DINER?

WE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE DINER.

WHERE DID YOU GO?

DAD! OH, NO!

DAD, GET US OUT OF HERE.

WE'RE TRAPPED!

WE'RE NOT TRAPPED.

AAH!

AAH! AAH!

WHAT WAS THAT?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE DISAPPEARED?

YOU WERE IN THE DESERT.

YOU--YOU CAN SEE FOR MILES

IN EVERY DIRECTION.

HE DISAPPEARED.

HE JUST VANISHED, ALL RIGHT?

HE WENT UP THIS LITTLE HILL,

AND HE WENT DOWN THE OTHER SIDE.

I WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

WHEN I GOT THERE HE WAS GONE.

WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE?

I KNOW WE HIKED IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

I KNOW IT!

WE ENDED UP RIGHT WHERE WE STARTED.

WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR HIM, DAD.

WE WILL.

I THINK WE GET TO THE POLICE AND--

WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

WE'LL GET TO A PHONE, WE'LL CALL THE SHERIFF.

THEY'LL ORGANIZE A SEARCH PARTY.

IT'S GONNA BE DARK IN AN HOUR.

THEY'LL KNOW HOW TO COVER THE MOST GROUND.

DAD, WHAT'S IN THAT TOWN?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I NEED TO USE YOUR PHONE.

USE IT ALL YOU WANT.

BUT THE LINE'S DEAD.

DAD, YOU GOTTA COME, NOW!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

[OWL HOOTING]

OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE CONCERNED,

BUT I REALLY THINK IT'S BEST

IF WE JUST WAIT UNTIL SUNRISE.

THEN I'LL HAVE EVERYBODY OUT THERE,

AND WE'LL FIND HIM.

WELL, WHY NOT NOW? HE'S A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY.

OK, LOOK.

THE DESERT IS A VERY BIG PLACE, MR. HENLEY.

NOW, THE ODDS OF FINDING HIM IN THE DARK

ARE EXTREMELY SLIM.

ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE CONFUSION

YOU SEEM TO HAVE OVER THE EXACT LOCATION.

NO, I AM NOT CONFUSED.

IT'S 2 OR 3 MILES WEST OF WEAVER.

I TOLD YOU THAT!

OK. I'M GONNA TAKE AT FACE VALUE

THAT YOU GOT A BOY LOST OUT THERE

IN THE DESERT TONIGHT.

BUT YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE.

NOW, FIRST OF ALL,

THERE IS NO WEAVER.

NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

THERE WAS NO TOWN OUT THERE

WHERE THE PEOPLE WALKED OUT IN 1948

AND NEVER RETURNED.

LOOK, I WAS JUST THERE.

MY FAMILY AND I, WE WERE JUST IN THE TOWN.

WELL, SEE, THERE YOU GO.

YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS

YOU SAY ATTACKED YOU, BUT...

YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM.

YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL ME

WHETHER THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS.

YOU WANT TO VERIFY THIS WITH MY WIFE?

SHE'S ACROSS THE STREET GETTING FOOD FOR THE KIDS.

NOW, COME ON.

WE ARE NOT DESERT WACKOS.

I CAN SEE THAT.

BUT I CAN ALSO SEE THAT YOU'VE HAD A VERY LONG,

EXHAUSTING HIKE THROUGH A HOT DESERT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.

COME ON, LET'S JUST STAY FOCUSED, OK?

YOU GOT YOUR 16-YEAR-OLD BOY

LOST OUT THERE IN THE DESERT.

I PROMISE YOU,

AT SUNRISE I'LL HAVE MEN ON HORSEBACK,

I'LL HAVE ATVs,

I'LL HAVE A FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT

SEARCHING THE DESERT LOOKING FOR YOUR BOY.

AND WE'LL FIND HIM, PROBABLY BY 8 A.M.

RICH, COULD I BORROW YOU FOR A SEC?

OK.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK, MR. HENLEY.

HEY, MISTER.

OVER HERE.

Speaker: NUMBER 48, YOUR ORDER'S READY.

THAT'S US.

I'LL GET IT.

SOMETHING WRONG?

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S OUT THERE, OK?

BUT YOU SAW WHAT YOU SAW.

WHAT, YOU MEAN THE TOWN?

YEAH. EVERYONE'S PART OF IT ALL.

PART OF WHAT?

NOBODY KNOWS.

YOU, SEE, THERE'S SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT

SOME KIND OF NEUTRON BOMB EXPLODED THERE

BACK IN THE FORTIES,

AND THERE WAS ALL THESE PEOPLE

DIDN'T WANT TO BE EVACUATED,

SO THEY HID OUT IN THE MINES UNDER THE TOWN,

AND THEN THEY GOT ALL THIS...THIS RADIATION.

WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW IS THEIR OFFSPRING.

ALL MUTATED AND WEIRD

AND BARELY HUMAN.

AND THE ANIMALS...

THEY'RE MONSTERS.

AND THEN...

THEN THERE'S SOME PEOPLE SAY

THAT THAT AIN'T RIGHT.

THAT THE TOWN WAS BUILT

ON SOME KIND OF SACRED INDIAN BURIAL SITE,

AND IT'S THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD

COMING BACK TO HAUNT.

SUPERNATURAL.

YOU EVER HEAR OF AREA 51?

YOU MEAN IN SCI-FI,

THAT GOVERNMENT RESEARCH THING?

THAT DOESN'T EXIST. DOESN'T EXIST.

OFFICIALLY.

BUT I'VE SEEN IT.

THEY'RE DOING SOME KIND OF RESEARCH OUT THERE

WITH E.T.s AND ALIENS.

AND THEY'VE GOT...

A BIG HANGAR

AND SOME KIND OF CRASHED SPACECRAFT,

AND THEY SALVAGED SOME OF THE BODIES

OUT OF IT.

WAIT, UH, YOU THINK IT'S ALIENS?

I DIDN'T-- I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

YEAH, WELL, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I'M SAYING YOU SHOULD JUST GET IN YOUR CAR

AND--AND DRIVE OUT OF HERE.

DON'T LOOK BACK,

JUST G-G-GO.

GO.

JUST GO.

IT'S HER, I SWEAR.

SHE'S THE GIRL IN THE VIDEOTAPE.

PATTY, YOU GO. PLEASE.

I'LL GO.

HELP YA?

UH, WE NEED SOME KETCHUP.

WAS SOMEONE ELSE WORKING HERE BEFORE?

BECCA, SHE JUST GOT OFF. WHY?

NOTHING. MY SISTER TOOK THE ORDER.

SHE THOUGHT...NOTHING.

THERE'S A MOTEL AT THE END OF MAIN STREET.

I CALLED AND, UH,

THERE'S A ROOM WAITING FOR YOU THERE.

THANKS.

TRY AND GET SOME SLEEP, OK?

UH, SUNRISE IS AT 5:45.

WE'LL BE LEAVING THEN,

AND, WELL, IF YOU'LL BE HERE,

YOU CAN RIDE WITH ME.

LISTEN, MY SON HAS PHOTOGRAPHS.

THAT TOWN IS THERE.

LET'S JUST TRY AND FIND ETHAN FIRST.

YOU CAN GO LOOKING FOR YOUR GHOST TOWN AFTER THAT.

DEAL?

5:45.

YEAH.

HE WAS TALKING TO ME.

I--I WASN'T TALKING TO HIM.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HIM.

COME ON.

LET'S GO.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.

I KNOW WHAT I SAW.

DAD, THE GIRL FROM THE VIDEO,

THE ONE WE THOUGHT WAS DEAD--

WELL, SHE'S NOT.

SHE'S WORKING AT THE DRIVE-IN.

HERE?

YEAH.

SHE MADE OUR FOOD.

KATE PICKED UP THE ORDER

WHEN OUR NUMBER WAS CALLED.

THE GIRL--

WAS THE SAME ONE ON THAT TAPE.

WHERE? WHICH ONE IS SHE?

Matt: I ALREADY CHECKED IT OUT.

SHE'S NOT THERE NOW. SHE JUST GOT OFF WORK.

BUT SHE WAS THERE. I SAW HER.

OK, OK, I BELIEVE YOU.

THAT'S A GOOD THING, RIGHT?

I MEAN, SHE'S NOT DEAD.

WHAT ABOUT ETHAN? ARE THEY GOING OUT?

SUNRISE. FULL-ON SEARCH.

AIRPLANES AND EVERYTHING.

DAD, WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM THERE ALL NIGHT.

IF THEY'RE NOT GONNA GO, THEN WE HAVE TO GO, NOW.

LOOK, I HEAR YOU,

BUT WE'D NEVER FIND HIM AT NIGHT,

AND I'M NOT TAKING ANY OF YOU

BACK OUT THERE, OK?

WE SHOULD CALL HIS PARENTS.

THEY'RE OUT OF TOWN TILL SUNDAY.

THEY DROVE UP TO SAN FRANCISCO.

OH, RIGHT. I FORGOT.

WELL, THEN, I'LL LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THEM

WHEN WE GET TO THE MOTEL.

WELL, LET'S HOPE

WE CAN LEAVE ANOTHER ONE IN THE MORNING

THAT SAYS EVERYTHING'S OK.

THEY OK?

YEAH. SOUND ASLEEP.

THEY'RE EXHAUSTED.

YOU SHOULD COME TO BED, TOO, JIM.

NO, I WON'T SLEEP.

I'M FINE.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

[SIGHS] I JUST KEEP THINKING.

I KEEP SEEING--

I MEAN, I WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM,

AND THEN HE WAS GONE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THAT TOWN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT DEPUTY DOESN'T KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, I GOT A FEELING HE DOES.

THE FIRST THING IS TO FIND ETHAN

AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

AND THEN WE TALK TO THE FBI,

THE STATE POLICE, WHOEVER.

HOW MANY CARS DID YOU SEE OUT THERE

IN THE DESERT?

UM, 20.

MAYBE 30.

THERE COULD BE PEOPLE MISSING FROM EVERY ONE OF THEM.

I KNOW.

COME ON, LESTER.

DON'T DO THIS.

DON'T DO THIS.

I BETTER GET GOING.

HEY, SHOOT ME FIRST.

FOR GOD SAKES, YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE ME.

I'D DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

SORRY, LESTER.

[CAR STARTS]

PLEASE! DON'T LEAVE ME!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

DAD.

YOU OK, HON?

I THINK SOMEONE WAS JUST AT THE WINDOW.

I LOOKED...

IT WAS GONE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE, DAD.

COME HERE.

YOU KNOW...

WE CAN'T LEAVE ETHAN.

AND THEY'RE GONNA GO SEARCHING FOR HIM

IN THE MORNING, SO--

DAD...

TAKE US OUT OF THIS TOWN.

I DON'T LIKE IT.

IT FEELS WEIRD.

THEY'RE GONNA SEARCH FOR ETHAN AT SUNRISE, RIGHT?

TAKE US TO THE NEXT TOWN.

YOU CAN DRIVE BACK IN THE MORNING

AND SEARCH WITH THEM.

JUST DO THIS FOR ME.

PLEASE.

THANKS, DAD.

YEAH.

SO...

WHERE DO YOU THINK?

WINDHAM.

ABOUT AN HOUR EAST.

ALL RIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE A COP, DAD.

Jim: OH?

GOING THE SPEED LIMIT.

WHAT THE HELL DOES HE WANT?

JIM...

THERE'S NO REASON FOR HIM TO PULL US OVER.

YOU SHOULD STOP, DAD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE GONNA STOP.

OH, SORRY.

I WAS FOOLING WITH THE RADIO AND...

KIND OF LATE TO BE LEAVING TOWN, ISN'T IT?

OH, WE'RE NOT LEAVING TOWN. WE--

WELL, I'M JUST TAKING THE FAMILY OVER TO WINDHAM,

THEN I'M RIGHT BACK TO HELP WITH THE SEARCH.

MOTELS HERE AREN'T THAT BAD, ARE THEY?

WELL, IT'S NOT REALLY THE--

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

BUT YOU WON'T NEED TO COME BACK

IN THE MORNING FOR THE SEARCH.

WHY IS THAT?

BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY OUT THERE IN THAT DESERT.

NOT ANYMORE.

WE FOUND HIM.

[DOOR OPENS]

Jim: ETHAN. ETHAN.

Patty: THANK GOD YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I'M OK.

I'M REALLY TIRED.

WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE?

YOU WENT OVER THAT HILL, I WAS THERE IN A SECOND

AND YOU WERE GONE.

I SLIPPED.

HIT MY HEAD, I GUESS.

LOOKS LIKE HE FELL DOWN A SMALL RAVINE.

RAVINE?

I PRACTICALLY FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS.

I WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT.

WELL, WE CALL THEM BLIND FALLS.

YOU DON'T SEE THEM TILL YOU'RE IN THEM.

YOU CAN WALK RIGHT BY ONE AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT.

ETHAN...

HOW'S YOUR HEAD NOW?

IT'S OK.

A LITTLE SORE.

I HAD A PARAMEDIC CHECK HIM OUT.

HE'S A LITTLE TIRED, A LITTLE DEHYDRATED.

HOW'D YOU FIND HIM?

WELL, LIKE I SAID, I WASN'T PLANNING

ON MOUNTING A SEARCH UNTIL THE MORNING, BUT, UH,

WELL, I SENT A COUPLE OF MEN OUT ON ATVs

JUST IN CASE WE GOT LUCKY.

CAN WE GO NOW?

WELL, WE SURE DON'T WANT YOU AROUND HERE.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE MOTEL.

WE'RE ALL PRETTY TIRED.

LET'S GO. COME ON.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

LIKE I SAID, WE JUST GOT LUCKY.

UH, MR. HENLEY...

ABOUT THAT, UH, TOWN YOU TALKED ABOUT...

IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT IN THE MORNING,

I'D, UH, I'D LIKE TO SEE IT.

OH, I GOT A FEELING MY FAMILY WANTS TO GET HOME.

NEXT TIME THROUGH.

THANKS AGAIN.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

YOU HAVE A SAFE TRIP, NOW.

WELL, GUYS, PUSH ON TO WINDHAM

OR BACK TO THE MOTEL?

WE ALREADY HAVE A ROOM.

I'M STILL NOT SURE WHY WE LEFT THE HOTEL

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

KATE?

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN THIS TOWN,

ANYWHERE NEAR THIS TOWN.

CAN WE JUST GO?

ETHAN?

WHATEVER.

[RUNNING FOOTSTEPS, HEAVY BREATHING]

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,

WE GO TO A ONE-HOUR PLACE AND GET MATT'S FILM DEVELOPED.

RIGHT.

[FOOTSTEPS]

JIM...

IF YOU WERE WALKING RIGHT BEHIND ETHAN,

WOULDN'T YOU HAVE SEEN WHERE HE FELL?

THERE WAS NO RAVINE.

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ETHAN,

BUT WHAT HE THINKS HAPPENED TO HIM DIDN'T.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

MATT.

DON'T YOU WANT TO TRY AND GET SOME SLEEP, HONEY?

I CAN'T.

MY MIND IS JUST...

WHAT WAS IN THAT MINE SHAFT?

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE FROM THOSE CARS IN THE DESERT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

MATT, LISTEN, UH,

TOMORROW WE'LL GET YOUR FILM DEVELOPED AND THEN WE'LL HAVE--

JIM! AAH!

[FOOTSTEPS]

[MOANING FROM CAR]

Jim: ARE YOU OK?

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Jim: IT'S OUT THERE.

Patty: NO, NO--

[ALL SCREAMING]

[CREAKING]

[WIND BLOWING]

[CAWING]

[CAW]

[CAW CAW]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO HOW ARE THE KIDS?

GOOD.

EVERYBODY'S GOOD.

NEED SOME MENUS?

NICE BIKE.

[CAWING]

[WINGS FLAPPING, CAWING]

[CAW]

THAT'S IT.
