- Hey, I remember this
hill. We're almost there!

- Nah.

We got another hour at least.

- I know what I'm talking about.

It's just over this next hill.

- [Bill] Hey, let me
have a sip of that beer.

- The cooler's right under your feet.

- [Bill] I don't want a
whole one, I just want a sip.

- Hey, when did you meet this Sarah chick?

- Three weeks ago. Why?

- Hear that?

This toad meets a woman and -- wham --

three weeks later, she's
got him on the wagon.

- Maybe he'll lose some weight.

- Maybe he'll lose his virginity.

(Wyatt chuckling)

- Hey, you jerk!

- Yeah, you jerk.

- Relax, we'll be at the spring soon

and you can slip out the driver's side

before Sarah even catches a whiff.

(Mel laughing)

- We don't lie to each other.

- Yeah, lget you, Bill.

She'll sniff it out anyway, you know.

She's got a sharp nose.

I mean, I didn't wanna
say anything before,

but she's kind of, you know... (purrs)

Woof, woof.

- Mm.

- Hey, what are you uptight about?

I got most of it on Bill.

- [Wyatt] Yeah, well, we're
at the top of that hill

and we aint nowhere near there yet.

- Not this hill, the next one.

- Yeah, wanna bet?

- On what?

- [Bill] Well it aint just over that hill.

- Yeah, well

- Five?

okay

(upbeat music on stereo)

- Where did you get that?

Blew a whole unemployment check, huh?

- Got it.

- Yeah.

- Did you swipe it?

- Yeah, did you swipe it?

Getting caught with that motorcycle

didn't scare you enough, did it?

- I got off.

- You got off.

You got lucky is all.

You got lucky to get off so damn easy.

- You lucky son of a --

You swipe it?

- Stupid jerk, I told you I got it.

- [Bill] Yeah, just woke up one morning

and it was there, huh?

- Hey, don't get so tight, buddy.

Here.

Have another one.

(upbeat music on stereo)

- Hey, why did we stop? Are we there?

Isn't it just over this hill?

Hey! Hey, you guys!

- They can't hear you.

- I can hear them.

Bill and Mel are arguing.

- [Kiyomi] What's it about this time?

- I can't tell.

Bill and Mel argue a lot, don't they?

- For as long as I've known them.

They were in the Marines together.

Mel really wanted to fight.

Bill tOId me --

- I think it's another hour's ride.

- What?

Oh, yeah. Thank you, dear.

Bill and I never argue.

- Uh-huh.

- Really.

Except, I like this hunting business

even less than I like the drinking.

Wild animals are so sweet.

I could never kill one.

- I can't accept killing,
either. It's so pointless.

- Right. Neither can I.

Everything has a right to live, right?

- That's the way I see it.

Our parents brought us up that way.

- Great. That's how I'm
going to raise my kids.

- Are you guys hot? I'm boiling.

Let's get cooler.

- What are you looking for, dear?

I'll help you find it.

- [Lin] Sarah, I talked to you about that.

- Lin, you packed my bikini, didn't you?

I can't find it.

Will you get it for me?

- No.

I told you when Mom and Dad died

that you'd have to start
doing things for yourself.

(indistinct thumping)

(crickets chirping)

(Wyatt whistling)

- Oh, you guys are always
thinking about that.

- You don't leave us
much choice, dollface.

- Have you been drinking?

- Mel spilled some beer down my throat.

- Yeah, and he spilled a six-pack

of beer right down after it.

(men laughing)

- Yeah, that reminds me. You
still owe me five dollars.

- Later, man.

- Okay, I can have this
ring as down payment.

- Shut up about the ring, will ya?

- Hey, look what Mel stole this time.

- Hey, you really bought
a ring? Let me see.

Let me see.

I think a nice ring makes a guy

look kind of sexy, you know?

I don't know.

That really is nice.

Hey, Bill, steal me one, would you?

- I didn't steal anything!

- I was...l was only kidding!

- Here, put some clothes on.

- It's too hot.

- You can't go walking through the woods

with your body bare.

- All right.

- Now, have you got
everything in your pack?

Did you leave anything in the camper

when you got your bikini on?

- I don't know. Go look for me.

- No.

If you don't remember, then
you can just do without.

Okay, l'm going in.
You can walk with me --

- I'll Walk With Mel.

- Who's in there?

- Nah, it's the wind.

- You're not sore at me?

Hey, you can forget about
that five you owe me, okay?

- Sure.

Hey, check this out.

- So what?

- Just check it out.

- What are you going after,
buffalo or something?

- Exploding bullets.

- Yeah, that's what I meant.

Shit, these are dangerous, man.

What do you need these for?

You shoot a deer with this
and you blow it half away.

- Oh, man, you don't know
nothing. They're just cool.

One shot and -- pshew!

- Yeah, cool. Just don't
get caught with them.

- Kiyomi wants to walk with you.

- She can't. She's gonna slow me down.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I guess it'll be all right.

- Mel, I'm thirsty.

(mournful violin music)

- Here, that's heavy.

- Get away.

- I was only helping.

- Thanks, but no thanks.

No one helped Mel on with his pack.

Listen, you men are all brainwashed

to think that women are weak.

- Oh, God, you've been
talking to your sister again.

Every time you talk to her,

you just come up with that lib stuff.

- Hm.

- Give me a hand, will ya, Bill?

(Sarah laughing)

- So how about it? You guys
wanna take that other trail?

- I don't know. We haven't
been up that way before.

Can't be sure there'll
be a decent campsite.

- [Mel] AW, I'll find One.

- Yeah, right.

- Campsites are a dime a dozen.

- Even at those prices, you won't get one

unless you steal it.

- We been up that way
so many times before,

the deer up there know
what kinda beer we drink.

- Well, I don't mind
doing a new trail. Bill?

- Yeah, okay.

If anything goes wrong, I'm blaming him.

- Okay, let's do it then.

Hey, did anybody remember the fireworks?

- Yeah, I put them in Sarah's pack.

- I'm not going to carry
all that. Take them out!

- Hey, I'll tell your sister
if you don't carry them.

(men laughing)

- I'd like to see you tell her anything.

(men laughing)

- Gonna shoot me a buck
this time. Big sucker.

- Yeah, you ever killed
anything before, Bill?

- Sure, before you met me.

- What, when you were nine?

(gun firing)

- Don't do that! I can't take loud noises!

Tell me before you do that again.

- Are you okay?

- I hear bells.

- It's just an echo in your head.

- It's not in my head! It's
coming from over there!

- I don't hear anything.

- She probably hears
lots of things we don't.

Blind people generally have better hearing

than the rest of us.

- Don't talk about me like I wasn't here.

- Sorry.

- I'll go check it out. Rest here.

I'll be right back.

(suspenseful music)

- Huh.

An old-time bullet.

Coulda knocked a head off with that.

(suspenseful music)

(bell tolling)

- Listen.

Those bells again.

(bell tolling)

Can't you hear them?

(bell tolling)

(bell tolling)

No.

No! (sobbing)

- What is it?

(bell tolling)

(bell tolling)

(Kiyomi crying)

(bell tolling)

(Kiyomi crying)

(bell tolling)

Mel's in trouble!

- Hey, guys, look what I found!

- Mel!

Mel!

' Hey, what happened?

- I heard those bells...and
then those other sounds.

I knew you were in danger.

- Bells?

- Oh, yeah, here comes the snow job.

"Bells? I didn't hear any bells!"

- I didn't.

- Aw, hell, you're the biggest...

- Wait a minute, Bill.

You really didn't hear them?

- Honestly.

I didn't even hear anything
that sounded like bells.

- I can't believe you.

Kiyomi's scared half to death

and you're playing idiot games.

- Will you shut up?

- We heard bells, loud ones.

Kiyomi heard them before the rest of us.

- They sounded like a funeral.

- Sarah, you're scaring Kiyomi.

- Come on, I didn't hear no bells.

Come on, let's go take a
look at these ruins I found.

Come on.

Hey, look. I found a glade.

We can dump our gear
there and...well, then

we can check out the graveyard, okay?

- Graveyard?

- Aw, come on, at least
he found us a camp.

(leaves crunching)

- Hey, will you look at this?

I bet nobody's been here
since the Civil War.

- If someone has, I don't
feel they want us here.

- Hey, there's no fence around it.

- You're right, man. This place
is at least 100 years old.

- There sure are a lot
of names on this one.

- What a lovely old church.

- Church?

Hey, church bells.

Mel, you clown.

- What are you whining about?

- You were right, honey.

Mel, you idiot. Leading us
on, scaring Kiyomi like that.

- You goofy bozo. I knew it all along.

Ringing the church bells
to scare the women.

Even had Wyatt going.

- You're the bozo, bozo.

There's no bell in that church. I looked.

Ask Wyatt.

- I don't like this place.

- Huh. Wyatt's probably in on this, too.

I'll check it out for myself, thanks.

[Bill, V.O.] Old, old place.

It's so overgrown.

Look for a bell, man.

You know Mel rang those bells himself.

There were more than few bells going.

He woulda needed help, even
if there was a bell in here.

- Jeez, you guys got an A-one act going.

But I'm not buying this crap.

Hey, take a look at this.

(brush rustling)

- You found the bell, I knew it.

- Knock it off.

(mournful music)

Oh, yeah. Looks original.

- Hey, you guys, come
here. Look what we found!

- It's so old. It must be worth a lot.

- There musta been a battle here.

- Doesn't say anything about a battle

on any of those stones.

Just a list of names,

like they're all buried in the same grave.

Must be 5O or 6O guys buried out there.

- Mel, I don't like it here. lwanna go.

- Quiet, Kiyomi, I wanna check this out.

- You should keep it.

- Put it back.

- But Kiyomi, it might
be worth a lot of money.

- But it belongs to someone.
You shouldn't take it.

- If it belongs to anyone,

it belongs to those
dead soldiers out there.

You think they're going to need the money?

- Money? It means more than money to them.

They died here. It should
stay here with them.

If any of us takes it,
we'll all be guilty.

- What?

- Isn't it obvious? Why do
you think the bells rang?

They don't want us here.

You can't take that, whatever you found.

You can't take pain from the dead.

- What are you talking about?

- I know what she means.

Our grandmother was in Hiroshima
when the bomb was dropped.

We saw her in Japan when we were kids,

just before she died.

She had leukemia from the radiation.

I can't translate too
well from the Japanese,

but she told us that the dead

had no use for anything they had in life

and that all their
possessions, everything,

belonged to the living.

But you can't take their pain away.

They're jealous of their pain.

- You can take anything from
the dead but their pain.

- What are you doing?

- I'm putting it back.
It doesn't belong to us.

- Then who does it belong
to? A buncha dead rebels?

It's ours.

- It's not ours!

It belongs to someone.

If not to those Confederate
soldiers out there,

then to whoever owns this land.

It's not ours to take, understand?

- What are you, some kind of a saint?

Nobody's been here in years.

Nobody gives a damn about the old flag.

Don't just stand there. Take the flag!

- Sarah, shut up.

- Oh, holy shit!

(suspenseful music)

(Sarah shrieking)

(Sarah whimpering)

(Sarah wailing)

- That cross. That cross, it moved.

I was just leaning on it and it just moved

and pushed me right off.

Don't any of you believe me?

- I don't believe a word of it.

- Don't bug her, Mel.

Look, it didn't just move
by itself. You fell off.

- It was still moving
after I fell off. I saw it.

- Okay, okay, you knocked it
down a gopher hole, that's all.

You moved it.

- They moved it.

- [Bill] Now, don't start that.

- I don't like this place.

- Let's just go.

Man, she gives me the creeps.

(harmonica music)

- Why don't you put the gun away, Mel?

You've been fooling with it all night.

- [Sarah] Afraid of the dark, Mel?

- Yeah.

- You can hold me instead of the gun.

I'm not afraid of the dark.

okay

Let me put this away.

- [Sarah] About time.

- Let them work it out themselves, okay?

okay

- Wanna camp here tomorrow?
Maybe do a little hunting?

- I don't know. Guess so.

(crickets chirping)

(Mel coughing)

Bill wants to base here
tomorrow. What do you think?

- Sounds good.

Say, we're pretty far from that camper.

You think we could haul a
buck back there by ourselves?

- Shouldn't you guys have
thought of that earlier?

- Come to think of it,

there ain't that much room in that camper.

If we kill something,
you're going to have to stay

at the church, with all
your rebel friends. (laughs)

- I'll go for it, if I
can take Kiyomi home.

How about it, Ki?

(fire crackling)

- She may be blind,

but she knows a raw
deal when she sees one.

(crickets chirping)

- Go on. Kiss her for real.

We won't look.

(crickets chirping)

- [Sarah] Not bad, for a beginner.

- Well, three strong men
oughta be able to get

a buck outta here okay, don't you think?

- With the help of three
strong women, you mean.

- Oh no, not that lib stuff again.

- Have it your way, but if
Sarah and I killed anything,

we'd carry it back ourselves.

- I couldn't kill anything, not even a

(Sarah shrieks)

- What is it? What is it?

- It's a bug!

Hell, it was -- it was right on my hand.

- A bug? Uallghs)

(Mel laughing)

- It's not funny, you guys!

(men laughing)

- You killed it. You get to carry it home.

- I hate bugs!

(Mel laughing)

Hey, look at that.

- What the hell is that?

- It's pretty.

- That's really weird.

- What's going on?

- A buncha lights out in the trees.

- Must be some other campers.

- That doesn't look like a campfire to me.

- We've got fireworks.
Maybe they've got some, too.

- I don't hear any fireworks.

- Looks like it's happening
up at that old church.

Hey, maybe somebody's
having a party up there.

- Let's crash it.

' No, YOU guys can.

I'm going to sleep.

I don't wanna be hunting
with a hangover tomorrow.

- And you promised to
stop drinking, remember?

- Yeah, I'm off to bed, too.

Let those jerks party if they want.

You coming, Sarah?

- Yeah.

Boy, those sure are strange fireworks.

(fire crackling)

- Some adventure, huh?

- Sarah was getting on my nerves.

- Yeah, what about Kiyomi and Mel?

- What about them?

I can't tell her she's wasting her time.

She's too stubborn.

That's why I can't get her
to do things for herself.

She sits around and pouts
until somebody offers to help.

She plays on their pity.

- Well, then maybe she's met her match.

Mel doesn't seem to have much pity.

- Huh. I was ready to
kill him this afternoon.

Kiyomi was scared out of her wits

when he went off like that.

Honestly, I can't see how she
can be so attached to him.

- Are you sure that's all it was?

I mean, she seemed pretty
flipped out over those bells

and whatever else it was she heard.

- I don't know.

Well, it's her first time in
love. She'll learn from it.

She's dependent, but not stupid.

- That's it. She'll learn a lot.

- I just hope she's not hurt too badly.

- Ow!

- Now what?

- I cut myself.

- Look, let's just forget
about sleeping doubles tonight.

I really don't feel like it, anyway.

- What do you mean? We
haven't done it all week.

- Listen, I am tired of you grabbing at me

every time I take my clothes off.

I am a person, too, you know.

- Ah.

Oh, God, you're still on that kick, huh?

- And another thing, you
treated me like a child

back in that graveyard.

That cross did move by itself. I felt it!

- If I can just get this zipper to work,

I'll make the earth move under you again.

- That's all you think about.

Here, give me that.

(zipper sliding)

There.

Now, come on. I'm sleepy.

- Better check for bugs first.

- I hate bugs!

- Mel, are you cleaning your gun?

- Are you awake again?

- Uh-huh.

What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Then why don't you get in your

sleeping bag and go to sleep?

- I'm busy.

- You just said you were doing nothing.

- Why don't you get into your
sleeping bag and go to sleep?

(fire crackling)

- I can't sleep with the lights on.

- Now, how did you know the light was on?

- I didn't, but I do
now. What are you doing?

- Reading.

- Read to me.

- You wouldn't like it.

- I love books. I read Braille, you know.

Just let me hear some of it.

- I'm tired. I've gotta get some sleep.

- Mel, quit treating me like a stranger.

I just want you to be close to me.

Even Sarah reads to me
and I don't even like her.

Please?

- Okay, but don't tell anyone.

- What? That you read to me?

- Promise?

- If that's what it takes, sure.

- "The war is over and we
have lost, but must fight on.

How humiliating it is to ask my men

to continue their retreat.

Most are no more than
boys clad only in rags.

If only they could lay down their arms.

But the Union presses us deeper
and deeper into the forest.

If I could wring Lincoln's
neck with my own hands,

I could die a happy man.

He is taking the best of our youth

and we are weary of seeing them lost.

Now, he wishes to steal
from us even the pain

of our defeat by continuing with this war

beyond any gentleman's endurance."

Let me see here, it says...

"Today, a courier came to
us more dead than alive.

The story he told made my blood run chill.

The men we lost in this last skirmish

were not, as I had hoped, taken prisoner.

A blood lust is upon us.

It seems an inhuman
craving for punishment.

Perhaps they have been driven to it,

as weary of war as we ourselves.

But there is no excuse
for these atrocities

they have committed upon our men.

Torture.

Torture is not a weapon
in a gentleman's armory."

- Mel, you took that from
the church, didn't you?

- No, honey, I swear.

- Don't lie to me!

- Keep your voice down.

- Mel, it's evil.

- It's just a story.

- Why did you take it?

- I don't know. I just wanted it.

- Just like the motorcycle,
just like the ring.

- Look, I said lwas
sorry about those things.

It's just a book. Belongs to a dead man.

It won't be missed.

- You wanted it, so you just took it?

- Look, I said I was sorry.

- Mel, when I heard those bells...

and those other sounds
the others didn't hear,

I was so scared.

Mel, when I was nine, I had a collie pup.

My parents wanted me to
feed it and take care of it.

I guess I was supposed to
learn to take care of myself.

One morning, I woke up
and I felt that something

was wrong with my puppy.

I went out into the
garage and she was there.

Nothing was wrong at all,

but I still felt so scared.

Mom and Dad told me not to
think about it, and I tried.

I just kept getting more
and more frightened.

I kept the dog with me all
day, but when we had dinner,

they made me tie her up in the yard.

She slipped her collar
and dug under the fence.

I heard car brakes and no one else did.

They thought I was being hysterical.

But when they went outside, my
puppy was dead in the street.

Mel, I felt 100 times more scared today

when I heard those other sounds.

- I don't know all about that.
It's just a book, Kiyomi.

- Hold me, Mel. Please?

Please, just hold me once.

- If I hold you, will you
promise not to tell the others?

- That you hold me?

- No, about the book.

- Oh, Mel.

- Just promise, and I'll hold
you all night if you want.

(wind blowing)

- Oh, Mel, ljust don't want
it to have to be like this.

- Be like what, Kiyomi?

Everything's fine now.

What did you mean before about hearing --

about hearing those other sounds?

- Nothing.

Everything's fine now.

(dramatic music)

(zombies growling)

(dramatic music)

(zombies growling)

(dramatic music)

(crickets chirping)

(leaves rustling)

- Kiyomi, is that you?

(crickets chirping)

(Lin screaming)

- Lin, get down!

(dramatic music)

(Wyatt grunting)

(dramatic music)

(zombie groaning)

I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

- Why doesn't it die?

(gun firing)

(zombie groaning)

- You killed him.

Get a flashlight. I wanna
see this thing in the light.

Is she okay?

- [Lin] Just scared.

- Oh, God.

This thing's been dead a long time.

- Where the hell is it from?

- How the hell should I know?

(zombies groaning)

(dramatic music)

AW, Shit.

Spread out!

(zombies moaning)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(gun cocking)

(gun firing)

Bill, aim for their heads.

(gun firing)

(explosion booming)

(men groaning)

(gun firing)

- The fireworks!

- I'll get them. You
take care of the women.

(zombie screeching)

(fireworks exploding)

(zombie screeching)

(dramatic music)

(fireworks exploding)

Let's get the hell outta here!

(dramatic music)

(zombie groaning)

(dramatic music)

- Where's the camper? I wanna go home.

(crow cawing)

Where is the camper?

- Hell, I don't know!

- Damn it, Mel, it was your
idea to take a new trail.

Now, where the hell are we?

You're always screwing up.

You brag and act like you know it all,

but you don't know a thing!

You're a liar and a thief.

You're not even any good at that!

- Oh, fuck off!

- Hey! Hey! Leave him alone, Bill.

We've been wandering all
night, probably in circles.

None of us could know where we are.

We've got to find a road.

(crickets chirping)

- Do you think they followed us?

- I don't know. We better
be careful, in any case.

- I'm scared.

- It's okay. We'll find a
road and get out of here.

- Why didn't they go for that party

at the church last night?

- Don't you understand?

That was the party from the church.

They were the soldiers,
the men from the graveyard.

- Oh, no. (sobs)

- You don't know that.

- Then who were they?

- Some of them were in uniform.

- So what?

Some backwood kids, some
makeup and some costumes.

- Bill, they walked through bullets.

You saw what it took to stop them.

- I can't believe it.

- Don't then. I don't care.

- Hey, let's get moving again.

They've got scouts and if
we're in one place too long,

it'll bring the rest of
them down upon us. And fast.

- Yeah, you're right.

They'll be fighting like soldiers,

waiting for us to be off guard.

We should keep moving.

- I want a gun, too.

" No!

- We've got to stick together if we're

(Wyatt grunting)

(dramatic music)

(punch thudding)

(dramatic music)

(women screaming)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

- His right leg doesn't
bother him anymore.

- Three scouts. Maybe there were four.

They might be coming back soon.

- Well, we better change
direction and throw them off.

- Come here! Come here!

Does that look human?

You lousy bastard, does that look human?

- Damn you, Mel. Cut the shit
before I kill you myself.

(dramatic music)

(leaves crunching)

- Come on, honey.

- I'm tired. We've been walking all day.

I can't go any further.

- We'll stop here before
the sun goes down.

- Listen, I don't think
we can afford to stop.

I've been hearing something behind us

for the past several miles.

- We haven't lost them, have we?

- It doesn't look like it.

- It's almost dark. What are we gonna do?

Kiyomi hasn't said a word all day.

- Well, we'll be moving
at her speed at night.

It'll be easier for her.

(crickets chirping)

- Kiyomi, are you all right?

Ki?

Sis, I love you.

You rest here a while.
I'll go send Mel over.

She's not doing well.

Mel, go talk to her.

- I'm gonna hike back a ways

and see if there really
is somebody following us.

Maybe we can lose the main group

if I off the scouts.

(crickets chirping)

- Linnie, don't!

- What do you want?

- I want Kiyomi to be all right.

- Aw, jeez, we aint got time for that now.

- She needs you, Mel.

- She don't need me.

You're her sister, you help her.

- Do you sleep with her?

- What kinda question is that?

- You're using her.

- She don't have to hang out with me.

I don't twist her arm.

- You're twisting her heart.

- (scoffs) Yeah, I got
you figured out, too.

You're stuck with that runt,
Wyatt, and you're jealous.

Get back with the others.

Go on, go!

- All right, Son, you're covered.

Put your gun on the ground
and your hands in the air.

You too, Miss.

Franklin.

(leaves crunching)

Okay, Son. Now, you've got
a lot of explaining to do,

providing I feel like listening.

And to tell you the truth, I
ain't all ears at the moment.

- He's clean, Hal.

- Okay now, Son, why don't you
tell us why you're so jumpy.

They're not gonna believe this.

- Look, officers, we
were attacked last night.

Some men tried to kill us.

We fought them off and ran,
but got lost in the woods.

- Men? How many?

- Thirty, maybe 40.

They've been tracking us all day.

We killed three of their
scouts this morning.

- Killed?

- You don't understand.
They weren't even alive.

Their faces were all rotten.

You can't even stop them with
a bullet. They...they

- Okay, I can see that you
kids have had a bad scare,

but that doesn't let you off, Son.

Not for one minute. I
still gotta take you in.

- But what about those
men that attacked us?

Don't you believe us at all?

- Look, I don't know what to believe.

It does seem to tie in.

You see, the governor's
got a little pet project

up over that hill, a little
church and graveyard.

Last night, somebody broke into it,

dug up all the graves and
made off with the bodies.

- Sicko.

- Real twisted sicko.

- But that's who attacked us.

- That's what I'm saying.

Any nut with so little
respect for the dead

ain't bound to have too
much left for the living.

- No, no, you don't understand.

They were like walking dead men.

They came outta the trees
and just went berserk.

- Come out of the trees, did they?

- Mel, Lin!

Is everything

Oh, God, are we glad to see you guys.

- How many more of you are there?

- There's six of us all together.

- My sister's blind and
she's pretty scared.

I wish you'd help us get out of here.

- Okay. First, I'm going
to send Franklin here

back down the trail.

If someone is tracking
you, we ought to find them.

Look, hike back on down the trail a ways

and check things out.

These kids think they
were attacked by corpses.

I think whoever dug up those graves

is swinging the bodies out of
trees on ropes, like puppets.

Even gives me the creeps.

Gotta have the wife quit
playing with that Ouija board.

If they pull any surprises on you,

don't let yourself get spooked.

I'm going to take these
kids back up the hill

and call for another car to
come and get the blind girl.

Okay?

- Okay, Chief.

- Okay, kids, let's go
collect your friends.

There's a trail on the
other side of that bush

that leads up to a road.

You must have been hiking
along next to it all day.

- Thank God. It's over at last.

- Has he gone off by himself?

- He's a big boy, Miss.

No lunatic with a hank of
rope and a sense of humor

is going to scare him.

- A hank of rope?

- I'll explain it when we
get your group together.

Spooky business.

I'm sure glad I never uptook undertaking,

You must have been hiking
along next to it all day.

(mournful violin music)

- You find our camp this morning?

- Yeah.

- Then you know we were attacked.

- Yeah, I'd say you were attacked.

Not by walking corpses, though.

- What the hell do you mean?

We left a half a dozen of
them laying back there!

- Nope. Found no bodies at all.

Just a lot of bullets in trees.

One of you boys using exploding bullets?

Yeah, okay, that's another
charge you'll face.

(dramatic music)

- Hey, hey, hey hey-

Hey, I know you're up there.

Now, drop the rope down
and come on down slowly.

(dramatic music)

I ain't fooling around
now. Come on down, now!

(dramatic music)

(leaves crunching)

- [Hal] Six kids, yeah.

One of them's blind.

- [Dispatcher] Blind?

- Yeah, listen.

Send another car up for her.

- [Dispatcher] Yeah, over the ridge?

- Yeah. Fire Trail, up on Agony Ridge.

- [Dispatcher] Know why they call it that?

- No, I don't know why they call it that.

- [Dispatcher] That name?

- Yeah.

Got a trigger happy city kid here, too.

- [Dispatcher] Oh boy.

- [Hal] I'll bring him in later.

- [Dispatcher] Quick 10.

- I wanna talk to them.

Yeah, right.

Okay, as soon as Franklin comes back.

Ah, the governor's outhouse is fine.

His kinfolk got up and
took a little walk is all.

- [Dispatcher] That was you, eh?

- Yeah.

Okay, copy and out.

- [Dispatcher] Okay.

(dramatic music)

(Franklin groaning)

(Franklin whimpering)

(dramatic music)

- What's the verdict?

- He won't believe it.

- Looks like Mel's really
in for it this time, though.

- What kinda proof does he want?

I mean, what does he think's gone on?

- You wanna know what I think's going on?

A joke, Sugar. A weird, sick joke.

- Yeah, joke, real funny! Ha ha, asshole!

- Listen, I've dealt with
a lot of nuts out here

in 15 years, you wouldn't believe

some of the spooky things people do.

You've got your garden-variety
psychopath here.

Little more sense of humor than most,

but no different, really.

(Franklin whimpering)

(zombies groaning)

(dramatic music)

- Anyway, this guy and
his pal steal a few bodies

now and then, and wait for
some campers to come along.

You kids were just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.

Now, in the middle of the
night, it's easy to get fooled.

They know that.

They get some rope, drop the
bodies down from some trees

and sorta dance them around a little.

- Dance them around? What are you, nuts?

They attacked us in broad daylight!

They're not dancing. They're
trying to kill us. Look!

(Franklin whimpering)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

- No! No, you've got
to shoot for the head!

(gun firing)

- Give me the gun, give me the gun.

(dramatic music)

Everybody, spread out.

(gun firing)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(guns firing)

(explosion booming)

Oh my God.

(Hal screaming)

- Mel, don't shoot near the car!

(gun firing)

(head exploding)

Come on, everybody. Back into the woods!

" No!

No!

- There's too many of them!

(dramatic music)

- Sarah, come on, come on!

(zombies chewing)

(dramatic music)

(zombies chewing)

(zombies slurping)

(zombies moaning)

(zombies chewing)

(crickets chirping)

- Look, the car came from down that way.

There must be a main road down there.

- Yeah, well, what if
they were heading back

to the main road?

- You go one way, I'll go the other.

- We can't leave the women.

- Then you take them!

- Look, you take Sarah.

If something happens...

- No, I'll go faster alone.

- We can't waste time arguing.

- Okay, okay, let's get going!

" Lin?

- I heard.

Kiyomi, we're going.

- I'll go with Mel.

- No.

- I want Mel!

I want Mel.

- Let her go with him.

She'll fight us all the way if we don't.

Mel.

- Not Kiyomi, too!

- Mel, please, I only feel safe with you.

(crickets chirping)

okay.

Stay with Sarah and don't make any noise.

(zombies chewing)

(zombies moaning)

(zombies chewing)

(mournful music)

Stay back! I've gotta clear a path.

- Oh my God, I feel so sad.

- Look, we can't go on like this.

We've gotta get back
and find Wyatt and Lin.

Take this.

(dramatic music)

(zombie growling)

They've been waiting for us. Bastards!

(gun firing)

Hope that's the last one.

(dramatic music)

- Mel, don't!

(gun firing)

(Wyatt groaning)

- Oh, no. Wyatt, are you hurt bad?

- I don't know.

_ Try to get up-

- Where's Kiyomi?

- They attacked us.

We got them, but Kiyomi
was mauled pretty bad.

Come on, try to move.

- We found a house up the
road. The owners are dead.

I came back to wait for you.

The goons are all over the place.

I hid in the bushes.

- Come on. I'll carry Kiyomi.

- God, Wyatt.

- Shut up and help him walk, come on!

(dramatic music)

(leaves crunching)

(dramatic music)

Where's Lin?

- [Wyatt] She's inside.

- I'll get Kiyomi inside
and wait for my signal.

(dramatic music)

Wyatt! Sarah!

Come on!

(dramatic music)

(zombies growling)

- Kiyomi? Ki?

- How is she?

- Oh, no. Not you, too.

- It was an accident.

Mel --

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(zombies growling)

- Look!

- I just don't understand.

It's like a vendetta or something.

Why are they after us?

- Never mind that. Just shoot.

(explosion booming)

(zombies growling)

- I still wanna know.

Why us?

You know something, don't you?

" Lin?

- Sis, it's okay.

- It's the diary.

- What?

- It's all written down,

everything that was done to them.

- Everything that was done to whom?

- The soldiers.

They were tortured.

The captain wrote it all down.

- I don't understand.

- Mel stole it.

It's the captain's diary.

The Union soldiers tortured his men.

The captain wrote it all
down, all their pain.

And Mel took it.

- Mel?

- Mel stole it.

- Sarah, come sit with
Kiyomi. I'm going upstairs.

Wyatt.

- I know. Listen to this.

"For three days now, I
have lain in this church.

A house of God made a prison cell

by the beast of the Union Army.

The screams of my men are
almost more than I can endure.

Today, I have been told
by my cruel boarders

Corporal Macklin, our flag
bearer, was flayed alive.

His skin was peeled back
from his face last of all

and he died screaming inarticulate curses

at his torturers.

I have no hope for my own life."

(zombies howling)

- Wyatt.

They're getting closer.

(zombies howling)

- "But the Union scum had
made one fatal mistake.

They let me keep my
servant, a Barbados slave

who is, it's said,

well-versed in the heathen
voodoo of the Caribbean.

May the Lord forgive me.

I must abandon His word for
the curses of this slave

and I am sure no Heaven
awaits me for such a sin.

But I would endure hell
itself for eternity

to see my revenge taken on our tormentors.

If this holy place has been defiled

by the madness of the Union soldiers,

then the blood of our dead
has made it holy once more.

Christ suffered alone with
His pain on the cross.

Can we do any less?

This agony is all we have left

and no man shall long remain alive

who seeks to take it from us,

even though we be in our graves."

- We're in for it now.

- God.

What have we been doing?

(gun firing)

(explosion booming)

Mel, stop it.

- We can't back down.

- We have to. We've been wrong all along.

- What the hell do you
think we can do? Apologize?

- We can give the diary back.

(women screaming)

(zombies chewing)

(Mel screaming)

(gun firing)

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

- [Mel] Lin, give me that diary!

(Mel groaning)

(dramatic music)

(Mel groaning)

(Mel coughing)

- [Lin] Wyatt, are you all right?

(dramatic music)
