Original subtitles

What is it?

Probably them damn coyotes.

You're not going out there.

You see anything?

No.

God damn it.

Come on, Sparky. Come on.

This ain't no coyote.

Beer?

No, this is a 1 ,200 -pound quarter horse.

I've never seen a bear that can... Sparky, no!

Come on.

Woo!

Much better.

Hey, what are you doing?

Getting this show on the road.

I was listening to that.

What do you say we lay a few ground rules right now, Preston?

Dr. Rayner, he released you into my care.

That means I'm going to be calling the shots from here on out.

The way I see it... We're going to spend the next three days up here together.

And we're going to spend those three days the easy way or the hard way.

Do we understand each other?

This is a bad idea.

I don't want to be here.

And Dr.

Rainer seems to think it'll be good for you.

It's just... It's just going to remind me of...

Tell me you're not ready for this.

Something like that.

It'll be fine.

Hey, where's the Preston?

Hey, you don't want to talk?

Afternoon. Hey.

That it?

Yep, for the weekend.

That's right.

You didn't get many tourists up here this time of year.

Of course, you're not a tourist, are you?

No, sir. I'm up here with Preston Rogers.

I'm bringing him home.

Preston Rogers?

No shit.

No. Got him in the car outside.

How's he doing?

Yeah, he has some good days.

Boy, that was an ugly mess.

Real ugly.

His wife was nice.

She was real nice.

She wasn't a bad -looking lady either, if you know what I mean.

You know what they say.

They say she died before she hit the ground.

Heart attack.

In dead air.

That's good.

Hey, I want to show you something.

It happened right up there.

Suicide rock.

Not many people go up there nowadays, I can tell you that.

Not since the accident.

So, this is where the rich folk live.

This is it right here.

Not bad Preston.

Not bad.

Last stop, everybody out.

Otis, I, uh... I don't want to do this.

You'll be just fine, Preston. Let's get you situated.

Everything seems to be in good order. A few cobwebs, nothing we can't handle.

Here

we

are, Preston. Home sweet home.

I notice you can cut the sunshine act.

Well, I'll go get the rest of our stuff.

Hey, Charlie, it's me.

No, I'm up here at the cabin. Just got in.

Well, it's, um... I'm fine. I'm fine.

Hey, listen, Charlie. If Radcliffe calls about that conference, just tell him

that... No, no, just tell him... You know what, Charlie? Just

tell him anything.

Just make something up.

I'm still struggling to swim. Preston.

Charlie, hold on a second.

Yeah? Can't make your shake unless you want regular milk.

You didn't bring the soy milk?

Regular milk's not going to kill you, Preston.

Otis, I'm allergic.

All right.

I'll go back into town, and I'll buy you something.

No, no, no. Hold.

Charlie, I'm going to have to call you back.

No, I'll call you back.

Otis, I'm sorry.

You don't have to go back into town.

Don't worry about it.

30 minutes.

No.

Look, Otis, I just, you know, I'd kind of rather not be alone right now.

30 minutes, Mr. R.

You'll be just fine.

Hey guys, yeah, I have a headache.

I think I'm gonna hurl

All right, she's the altercate. You'll be better in a couple hours.

Nothing three margaritas won't cure Amanda.

Wow, have you seen this view?

It's crazy.

Karen.

Karen, check this out.

Karen. Herberger!

I just want to see if he called. He's on the phone again. You guys do it.

Herberger, get off the phone now!

NO FU -

Is this wedding going to be, like, really frou -frou, like, white

and you're going to wear white?

What's wrong with mine? Yes, I'm wearing white. All right, guys, come on. Yes,

she's wearing white.

All right, you weren't with us in elementary school. You know what?

You saw just a junior high.

Bobby Thomas behind the locker.

Look, it's the 21st century. I can wear white. I have no idea. I don't know why

I brought this. Wait, wait, wait.

I don't know why I brought this.

Let's not give our girl a hard time.

Okay, to the first one of us to fall.

Congratulations.

Fall insane, baby.

He's honest. Where the hell are you?

world did that happen?

I'm telling you, I cannot believe that you didn't hear that. I mean, it was

a loud boom, like something fell, like a tree, like something big fell. It was

probably an earthquake. No, it was not an earthquake.

It was like a bow, like a boom.

Karen, did you hear it?

What are you doing?

I'm calling Bart.

Why don't you use the phone inside?

I can't. It doesn't work.

Yes, it does. I called my mom when we got here.

Well, seriously, it's not working now. I'm getting shitty reception inside on

cell phone.

Whatever. It's... Hopeless.

Let us know if you hear anything.

Bart?

Are you there?

Hey, it's me.

Can you hear me?

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on, just one second. I get really bad reception up here. Hold on.

Can you hear me now?

Are you there?

Oh.

Cool?

Okay. Good?

Cool.

Hey, I miss you so much.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm just, you know, hanging out up here in the mountains where there is

absolutely nothing to do.

Yeah, she's having fun.

I miss you so much.

Oh, come on Preston, you're imagining things.

Hello Anybody there

Preston you're not crazy well shit you are talking to yourself

My name is Preston Rogers.

I live at 10953 Half Circle Drive.

Jesus Christ, Preston, you scared the shit out of me.

I, uh... I didn't, uh... I didn't hear you come in.

What are you doing sitting here in the dark anyways?

Are you nuts?

I just noticed.

What? Outside, I saw it. Saw what?

I saw these eyes.

These huge red eyes. Preston, I was just out there.

There's nothing out there.

Probably saw an owl or something. No, no, no, no, no.

It wasn't an owl. It was... Where you been?

Oh, uh... I had trouble finding the soy milk.

Oh, my God.

My heart won't stop pounding.

Let me get you that drink.

I saw these eyes.

These horrible eyes.

There's something in those woods here.

Uh -huh.

I think it took one of those girls.

Did you say something about girls, Preston?

Yeah.

Next door.

There's five girls.

I mean, there's only four now.

Whatever, Preston.

I think we should go over there and tell those girls what I saw.

Maybe we should call the police.

What's that about police?

No.

Haven't you been listening to me?

One of those girls is missing. I think she was abducted.

Okay.

What did you see?

Well? Did you actually see anyone, Preston?

I saw the trees move.

You saw the trees move? Look, Otis. I see how this is starting to sound, but I

am just telling you, you have got to believe me. Well, did you hear her

or cry out?

No, not exactly.

So you didn't see anyone and you didn't hear her. Otis, you're not listening to

me. Preston, did you take your meds? You know, forget the damn meds. I'm just

asking you to go over there and tell them what I saw.

Okay, you're upset.

That's right, I'm upset.

I'm upset, but I'm not crazy. I know what I saw, goddammit.

Preston.

Relax.

Now, your psyche is very vulnerable right now.

Do you understand?

I'm fine.

I wouldn't want you to do anything that's going to overstimulate you.

What are you doing?

your own good, Preston.

Otis, you're not listening to me.

Somebody has to go over there and tell those girls that their friend is

No.

Here's what we're going to do.

I'm going to go in there and I'm going to fix them dinner.

And then after, after we're done eating, she hasn't returned,

I'll go over there.

Okay?

Okay?

Fuck that.

Hey.

You want a marshmallow?

Billy, will you sit the hell down? You're making me nervous now.

Me too.

How the hell can you be so still when we got that thing out there killing our

livestock?

Why did you bring Buddy Boy here with you?

Look, we've been going in circles for hours.

Can you lead us to this bullshit monster or not? Hey, I have the map.

A local Indian legend tells of a wild man living in these woods.

My grandpa saw it once. He says it only comes out after dark. Now, my question

to y 'all is, are you sure you want to find it?

Some things are better left unfound.

This coming from a guy who chain smokes at his gas station hooked up to an

oxygen bottle.

Thank you for the reminder.

I believe I will.

I bet your lungs look like a couple old saddlebags.

Well, yeah.

I guess you never heard of the Darwin Awards.

The what?

The Darwin Awards. They give them out to people who died doing the stupidest

shit.

Like what?

One of my favorites is this guy.

This guy goes to a petting zoo with some of his friends and he decides to

demonstrate the effectiveness of crazy glue.

Crazy glue? Yeah, you know that shit. He squirts it in both his hands and he

leans over this fence and he slaps both hands onto the rear end of a rhinoceros.

No, no, I'm not kidding you.

No shit, this thing takes off, yanking this guy right off his feet and all he

can smell is ass.

And unbeknownst to him, this rhinoceros has been constipated for a couple of

weeks, right?

So they give him a massive dose of this laxative. A zookeeper. Yeah.

So this thing is charging around trying to free himself of this guy.

And he's stomping. He's stomping on pygmy goats and ducks and all this

And he starts shitting uncontrollably right in this guy's face.

That's it.

Paramedics come to try to clear an air passage, and this guy's buried under 30

gallons of diarrhea, man.

What a dumbass.

Come on.

May God strike him dead if I'm lying.

You don't believe me, Mr.

Skeptic? Take a good look in the mirror.

You're sitting out here roasting marshmallows looking for Sasquatch.

Oh, you don't believe in Squatch. Hell no. Well, then what the hell are you

doing here?

I like to kill shit.

Sort of figured.

Oh,

buddy.

Shh, quiet.

You be quiet.

Oh, now, quiet. You shut up.

I said quiet, damn it. I heard something.

Boys, we're not alone.

Of course not.

We're sitting in the middle of the woods, Sherlock.

Ten bucks, it's a bear.

Ziegler, wait!

Another Darwin Award coming up.

Hello?

Are you hurt?

Oh, wow.

That is gross. I've got to find some help.

Don't leave me.

It's coming back. No, no, don't worry, sweetheart.

Don't worry. No, shh.

Please.

Please. Please leave me.

Listen, you're safe now.

Please, it's coming back.

Don't worry, don't worry.

No.

Please. It's all right, sweetheart.

Lord Jesus Christ, I'm satisfied.

What's going on? I heard a cell phone beeping out here, and I don't know where

Karen is.

You know, I think it's coming from down there.

Let's go check it out.

Karen!

Oh, come on.

Hello! Karen!

Hello, Karen!

Hey, guys, I see your phone. Where?

Karen! That's your phone, all right.

Do you think she's okay?

She probably had a fight with Bart and went on a walk to get off in steam.

Karen! Hey, Karen!

There's a new incoming text message.

Read it. No.

Kidding should be so pissed.

I don't give a shit. Read it.

Your friend was taken into the forest. Get police.

What? Oh, my God. Karen!

I'd like to report a missing person.

What? Yeah, a friend of ours, Karen Herdberger.

Yeah, Herdberger.

I don't know. What time? Like 20 minutes ago?

Right, but no.

Yeah, but you don't... Right.

Yeah, thanks.

What'd they say?

You can't report a missing person until 48 hours.

Yeah, we should have known that.

Karen!

What's up?

What's he doing?

Ew. It's a peeping Tom.

That's right.

That's right. Look up here.

Come on. Let's get inside.

Let's go.

It's entirely possible for a bear to have wandered down close to civilization

looking for food.

No, I don't believe this is a bear. Bears don't normally grow to over 12

But whatever it is, if it's come once for food to populated areas, it will

again. So you really think this is some kind of Bigfoot we've got roaming in

these woods?

Bigfoot? No, this is not Bigfoot. This is bigger than Bigfoot.

And Mina.

This is more like the abominable snowman of the Himalayas.

Vicious. Dangerous.

We should really go look for her, because this is ridiculous.

Look, I totally understand that, Tracy, but we cannot go out there. Why not? We

go out to the woods. If she's not there, we come back home.

There's no way. No way in hell I'm going into those woods at night.

Whatever.

So... I know,

but what if we leave, and then she comes back while we're gone? Yeah. What?

Shut up.

You are just scared.

Jesus Christ, I don't even know why you came up here. All you care about is

yourself and this entire fucking... time you've been mute with.

Bitch.

Okay, look.

Let's give it another 15 minutes.

I'll go find you, okay?

We'll be right back.

Otis. Otis.

Otis, wake up.

Otis.

Otis. Otis, wake up.

Wake up, Otis.

Come on.

Preston? What? Over here.

Over here by the window.

Right there in those trees.

Oh, my God.

You see it?

Yes.

It's... It's a giant piece of bread with legs on it.

It was right there in those trees, I swear it.

Otis, use these.

What's this?

Watching girls in the shower. Are we, Preston?

What? No.

Don't be embarrassed.

Is this what you wanted me to see? No, that... Otis, you gotta believe me.

Wait till Dr. Rainer hears about this.

You keep enjoying yourself. I'll be right back.

Otis! What happened?

Look!

I can't expect her to stay in the shower all night, Preston. No, Otis, no! It

reached in the window and it just grabbed her! Look, I mean, there's glass

the floor!

All right, Chief, just relax.

Otis, we gotta get out of here.

You're losing it, man.

Otis, please, please, you gotta get us out of here! Ah, I get it.

You'll do anything to go back home. No!

Yeah, you never wanted to come up here in the first place. Now you're making

shit up, so I'll take you back.

Otis, please!

Get off of me!

Otis!

Please!

I'm gonna give you something.

To calm you down.

I'm calm.

No.

Please, no.

You're rational right now.

You're gonna have a time out.

No, please.

No! Hold it!

Preston. What the fuck?

I need beer.

What's this?

What'd you find, D .B. Cooper?

That's an email we received earlier tonight.

Preston Rogers.

Preston Rogers.

Rogers. Where do I know that name from?

He and his wife were involved in that climbing accident about six months ago

at Suicide Rock.

Oh, boy.

What a shit -colored mess that was.

Wow.

Did you reply to this?

Oh, yes, sir.

We phoned up there, but the lines are down.

Sent an email back, no response.

Should we go check it out?

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Not so fast there, Pally.

Come on, that's a good 25 -minute ride.

What do you got here, Gord?

Sheriff? I would say that Mr. Rogers has lost his neighborhood.

You know what I'm saying?

I mean, he's not been the same since that accident.

Now he's seeing monsters.

What does that tell you?

What, you think this is a hoax?

No, no, I don't think it's a hoax. No, I just think the guy's got a hole in his

screen door, that's all.

Ooh, maybe it's the Flatwoods monster.

Oh, hey, please, zip it, will you, Dodo?

I don't want to hear no more gibberish about no Flatwoods monster.

It's just a joke, Sheriff.

Oh, yeah.

Real funny, ha ha ha.

Monsters are a real hoot.

Anyway, you know what to do with this. Log it, write it up, and when the phone

lines get back, we'll call the guy.

In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'm going to the head.

I'm gonna give birth to a monster.

Mm.

Trace, come on.

I'm gonna need a bigger knife.

You got one new message.

Tracy, come on. Come on, Tracy.

Tracy.

Come on, look at the damn phone.

Hello?

Anybody there?

This is an emergency!

There is some kind of creature outside your house!

What? Tell your friends to stay away from the window!

I saw it.

Where is she?

Listen to me. Can you call the police?

Our phone line is dead.

What about your cell phone?

We already tried. I can't get an injection in here.

Get out of there.

It's in the house.

There.

It's all right.

We're going to get out of this.

I promise you.

Okay? But right now, I need you to keep it together. Can you do that?

Okay, well, the first thing you need to understand about animals is that they

are hostile for just a couple of reasons. The first one being if they're

The second one being if they're terrified.

Are threatened.

I don't think that thing is still hungry.

But that gives us a little time until it comes back.

And what's your name?

Amanda. Well, Amanda, I'm Preston.

And I need your help.

It's a long story.

Six months ago, my wife and I went climbing on Suicide Rock.

It was a routine climb. We'd done it a dozen times.

Only this time was different.

This time the cable that was supporting us snapped.

And my wife fell about a thousand feet to her death.

I hit the face of the rock and I got a lucky bounce.

our precipice.

Took him about four hours to airlift me out of there.

I didn't want to be alive anymore.

I couldn't understand why I had lived and she had died.

And other than that time, that moment, when that cable snapped and I... I was

falling through all of that empty space.

I never thought I'd have use of this stuff again.

Hold that.

Where are we going to get the trap?

Well, where's the most likely place for it to attack from?

Okay, wait.

What if it decides to come through a window instead?

We're going to make sure it comes in where we want it to.

How? You'll see.

Take that rope.

Tie it to the end of the act. Make sure it's tight.

Where are you going?

Get the bait.

Ron, me?

Well, grizzlies are attracted to strong scents.

I noticed this thing relies on its sense of smell more than anything else.

All right.

I'm going to lay this trip wire right at the bottom of the door while I'm doing

this. I want you to go in there and email the Flatwoods police one more

You have internet working up here?

Well, it's working off the satellite, not the phone.

Okay.

Oh, Amanda.

Yeah?

Don't mention anything about a monster.

Why not?

It's not supposed to be. I just never heard of a creature like this.

You didn't mention that before.

I was trying to comfort you.

What are we going to do? Let me think.

You better think fast.

That thing is manual on nature.

Climbing gear. Get the climbing gear. Just do it.

Thank God you're a predictable son of a bitch.

It's right outside the front door.

I brought this deal.

Put that on.

What is it?

It's a harness.

You can slide down the rope. What about you?

I don't need one.

Add that to your harness. Okay.

It's here.

All right.

I need you to help lift me over the railing.

What? No, it's okay. I'm going to lower myself down.

Now, Amanda, listen to me.

When I get down there, I'm going to secure the rope and you follow me, all

right?

You clip on right here.

Now, once you clip on, you're safe. There's nothing going to happen to you,

right? All right?

All right, come on, on three.

One, two, three.

All right.

What if I get there?

You leave it.

All right.

I'll see you down there.

Now hook it on and swing your legs over.

the buzzer.

That's it keep moving

Let's get the hell outta here.

Preston Rogers?

Yeah. Deputy McBride.

I got your email.

I finally figured I should come up here and check out what's going on.

Deputy, you better bring in the cavalry.

You got five dead people up there.

Jesus.

What the hell happened?

You better go look for yourself.

I gotta call this in.

All right.

Fancy meeting you here.

Preston.

Yeah.

For what it's worth, thank you for saving my life.

Well, I just didn't want you thinking I was some sort of peeping Tom.

Preston.

Still haven't found any bodies.

All right, let's check out the woods.

What's the matter with you guys?

Did you hear that?

I thought you were a man.

Jesus Christ.

It's your imagination, Parker.

There's nothing out here.

Nothing but pine cones and frozen rattlesnakes.

You guys are a bunch of candy asses, you know that?

you
