Original subtitles

Tello?

Yeah?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Check this one out.

Mm.

You like that, huh?

I figured you would.

That's him.

All right, it's about time.

What do you mean it's about time?

What's going on?

It's Tello, him and Bradford-

Yeah, so?

Well, he's disappeared.

We can't find him.

Well, what about Bradford?

She's in your office.

Look, she's pretty upset.

She might not have made it back

if it wasn't for this guy over here.

He found her?

Yeah. He looks like kind of a creep to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had something to do with it.

What's his name?

Sargent. Dick Sargent.

What was he doing up there?

Who knows?

Roaming around in those woods?

He doesn't look like any mental giant to me.

Hey, did you ever see the movie "Deliverance"?

Tello's probably up there right now squealing like a pig.

What?

- Yeah. - Gimme a break.

I’m gonna go talk to Bradford.

Keep an eye on this guy.

Thanks.

You got a match?

Thanks.

So what brings you up to the mountain?

I’m searching for a rugged insensitive guy like yourself.

Oh, I see.

You're one of those funny guys.

Well, I must admit you inspire me.

You one of those homosexuals or something, huh?

I’m no homosexual, pal.

But I did know a lesbian at one time who had tattoos

very similar to yours.

You didn't happen to go under the moniker

of Olga at one time, did you?

Uh, means nothing to me.

I’m was just trying to make conversation.

Bite it will ya, buddy.

How you feeling, Sally?

Yeah, I’m a little better now, thanks.

You wanna tell me what happened up there?

Nothing.

I’ll tell you one thing though.

I don't like that place.

It's so quiet.

It's so dead.

How you doing?

My name's Bill Whitman. I’m head ranger here.

Mr. Sargent, right?

That's right.

Stillman was telling me that you found Bradford.

We got a map over here on the wall.

Could you show me where it is please?

- Sure. - Thanks.

What I did is I found her on the north lodge

right up near Mt. Chocura.

Right about where they opened the old lodge.

You know, I’m real shorthanded up here right now.

If you could take a Stillman up there tomorrow

and show him exactly where it is.

- Okay. - I appreciate that.

All right, no problem with that.

Great. What do you do around town?

Do you run a business or what do you do for a living?

Yeah well, I run a small canoe rental business

on Lake Manahoac.

Just like on "Deliverance".

Why don't you hook up with Mr. Stillman at dawn.

Is that okay with you?

Yeah. Do you know where the bait and breakfast shop is?

Yeah, that's the place that sells worms and eggs, right?

That's right.

Yeah, yeah. I know where that is.

If I get lost I'll follow some hungry fisherman.

Okay.

Whoa, did you hurt yourself?

No, I was hunting.

Oh, what do you hunt?

Whatever I can find.

Ooh.

A character.

Any luck?

No. I can't raise anything in this storm.

Well, the way these clouds are moving

it should pass over pretty quick.

This place kinda gives me the creeps, you know?

Well, yeah, it's pretty old,

But I mean we've only been here a couple of weeks.

Give us some time and we can fix it up,

you know, make it look decent.

Yeah, 'cause it's really in bad taste.

Well, I’m sorry not everybody is as sophisticated

as you are.

This is true.

Oh, I did some cleaning today.

I found a lot of these old brochures

and stuff. - Oh yeah?

I guess this mountain used to be

a pretty swinging place back in the '50s.

Yeah, sure looks that way.

I wonder what happened.

Well, you know, from what I heard,

you know, most of the buildings that were left up here

were just left to deteriorate.

I mean the cabins, the lodges,

even the old ski area.

Maybe that's where Tello is.

Maybe he's holding up in one of those old cabins

waiting for the storm to clear.

That's a possibility.

Sure, as a matter of fact, wherever he is,

it's probably cozier than this place.

Every time I look around

I feel like one of the things is looking back at me.

Well, aside from collecting dust,

I don't think they pose much of a threat to us.

Still, this backwoods bric-a-brac

is nowhere in my book.

You know, Stillman, if you don't mind my saying so,

this doesn't seem like your line of work.

I mean, why did you wanna become a ranger?

Well, I thought it'd be a really great place

to meet women.

I read an article about it once in "Swank" magazine.

But this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

You used to live around here.

What did you do for fun?

Well, actually I grew up about 30 miles from here.

Last couple of years I’ve been living in Boston.

- Yeah? - It's funny you mention

that though, because I actually do have a friend

from quite a few years ago who's moved up here.

I’ve been meaning to look him up.

Just haven't had the chance.

All right.

Well, when you find out where this guy is,

you know, find out where he goes

when he wants to cut loose.

- Oh, sure. - You know, make the scene?

You bet ya.

Hey, care for a little libation?

- Sure, why not? - Something to wet

the whistle?

I’d go for a drink right now.

Snort on that.

Ew, man.

I think you got hold of some bad whiskey.

The baddest, man.

I don't pay top price for that brand name stuff.

This gives a better kick.

You know, god,

There is a place up there on that mountain

that's still open.

The Wild Goose Lodge.

Oh yeah, I read about that in the newspaper.

The old owner's son found out that the state

was gonna repossess it for back taxes or something.

- Yeah. - And that he paid them off

and reopened it.

Yeah. He's a local too, Dave Sheldon.

Yeah. Hey, maybe that's where Tello is.

I kinda doubt that.

But it is the closest place to the top of the mountain.

We should notify them anyway

So they can keep an eye out for it.

You're kinda worried about Tello, aren't ya?

Yeah. We should have heard from him by now.

Well, I wouldn't worry.

I mean he can hold up there for days.

He knows what he's doing.

Well, hopefully it won't take days.

Who's coming on next shift?

Akon and Rickman.

Okay, well what do you say when they come on

we head up over there

see what we can find out?

At the lodge. - Now, now you're talking.

Now you're talking.

Nice deck of cards.

I like your choice.

- You like that? - Yeah.

Where'd you find those?

Where do you suppose I could meet her?

Oh, excuse me.

Hey, I think I hear

some action down in the lounge.

Let's go check it out.

And so anyway, he says to me, "You think that's bad?

Her sister is twice as fat."

Okay, now I’ll be back

in a few minutes to raffle off that lovely toaster

and to start the dedication of our fine lodge.

Enjoy yourselves.

Excuse me, waiter.

Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Sheldon?

Yeah, he's right over there.

The gentleman in the plaid jacket.

- Thanks. - Man, check out

those crazy threads.

Look while you're talking to Sheldon

I’m going to give the place the once over.

All right, but mind your manners.

Would I disgrace this uniform?

How you all doing? - Excuse me, Mr. Sheldon.

Oh, good evening. Can I help you?

Yes, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute?

It's something of an urgent nature.

Well, I’m afraid I know why you're here then.

You do?

Yes, and believe me

we meant to get the permits for the raffle

but there just wasn't time.

And besides, it wasn't a new toaster.

It was something we found laying-

I’m not here about toasters.

But it is a rather important nature.

Thank God you had me worried.

Can we talk?

Is there a problem?

Well, actually yes there is.

One of our men has been missing since early this afternoon.

Which one?

Fellow by the name of Tello.

He came in from Boston to help us out

with the new trail markers.

I should have known he was from the city.

The night of my reopening he goes AWOL,

probably with some woman-

No, no, no. You don't understand.

He came out to help us put up a new trail markers,

the Chocura Trail.

And we think he got lost.

He got turned around up there and we don't know

where he is. - Oh, then your hand's

are pulled, so what are you doing here?

Well look, I mean,

Could you put up a notice for the hikers

to stay off the mountain for awhile?

Well, I think that might be a bit premature, don't you?

Let's see what happens with this Tello thing.

After all, he hasn't been out for 24 hours yet.

Give this Tello at least until the morning.

It's important that we keep a cool head

during these little occurrences.

Yeah, and after I became a ranger,

I was a rodeo cowboy.

That was right after I left my job

as a merchant marine ship captain.

We were just going back to our room.

Okay, well, hey look,

come down to the ranger station sometime, meet the boys.

You know, I’ll give you a free map sometime yeah.

And you too, pop.

Okay, breaker.

Well, all right, then I’ll keep you notified.

Good.

Now if you'll excuse me

I have to start the dedication.

Hey, what is this, some kind of ice cream social?

How does a guy get a drink in this roach motel?

Careful.

Thanks, buddy.

Hey, I’m just trying to make conversation here.

Well, you're sure doing a shitty job.

What's going on here?

Who the hell are you?

So what did he say?

He didn't seem too concerned.

Well, maybe he is right.

It is his neck of the woods.

I still don't like it.

And first thing tomorrow morning

we're gonna go check that area.

Okay.

Lucky tonight, huh?

Yep.

Good morning.

Sorry I’m late but this early morning stuff

just ain't for me.

Morning's best part of the day around here.

Best hunting, best fishing.

Best sleeping.

I don't know what you're doing up,

but you're not getting paid for this.

I’m used to being up early.

Oh yeah, you country folks rise with the birds anyhow.

Want some coffee?

No, thanks.

I already had three cups.

How 'bout some breakfast?

Got great fresh egg and hash browns.

Look, sweet, I didn't come up here to marry you.

Supposed to take me up that mountain, remember?

Well, just gimme a minute to finish my cigarette

and my coffee.

Sure you don't want a cup?

Look, I didn't drag my ass out of bed

at this ungodly hour to be wined and dined

in front of Billy Bob's bait and breakfast

by the likes of you, Vern.

Well, just trying to make the best of it.

Well, let's just make it quick.

I got a lot of plans, big plans,

and they don't include you, tiger.

Well, you just stick with me.

I’ll get you where you wanna go.

This is it.

Wow.

Now, that is absolutely incredible.

What the hell did they do to them?

Whoever they were, they were left here as sacrifices.

Sacrifices to what?

What's wrong, Bill.

I’ve seen this before.

Seen it in a dream.

A dream?

It was just like this.

I saw it in a dream.

It was just like this.

I think we better get the hell outta here.

Perkins, what about her question?

Sacrifices to what?

Chocura most likely.

They worshiped him up here.

I think we better get outta here

before whatever it was comes back.

Take it easy, this shit's been up here for years.

People have been disappearing up here for years.

Charlie, you don't think I’m crazy, do ya?

But I mean I really dreamt it.

But I’m not saying I’m psychic either

'cause I don't believe in that stuff.

Well?

Well what?

Well, what do you think?

I believe you, yeah.

You believe me?

You're crazy.

So what do you think?

I think it's an ugly piece of shit

and I think we oughta tear it down.

I think something's going on.

Something's going wrong.

I can feel it.

Can't you?

Mr. Sheldon, could I speak to you for a moment?

Well, hello, Bill. Have a look.

I told you reopening the old lodge was a good idea.

Yeah, listen, we gotta talk.

Okay, but let's go some place a little less crowded.

Sure.

Look, Bill, I know why you're here

and the news for you isn't too good.

I’m booked solid here for the next two weeks with guests.

I can't believe this.

Look, I told you I had a missing ranger.

I need your help.

That's the system we all have to work under.

You know this isn't the first time

one of these men have gone AWOL.

Gone AWOL on top of a mountain?

You gotta be shitting me.

Bill, listen, this doesn't help the situation.

We have to deal with this the best way we can.

I am doing the best I can.

I had two rangers up there all morning.

Of course, with a mob like this

I don't think we'll be able to search any more today.

Okay, but let's keep this between you and I

until further notice.

My guests won't stay here

if they think they're gonna get lost.

They're not gonna get lost

if they stick to the trail markers.

And they're not gonna stick to them

without someone there to keep them in check.

Do I make myself clear enough, Whitman?

Sure, of course, Mr. Sheldon.

I need your help.

Say.

You're from around here, aren't ya?

Yeah, I lived up here all my life.

In fact, my whole family's from around here.

Well look, I’m sure you know the locals

a lot better than I do.

I mean, is there like a hunting guide

or somebody like that who could show us around,

help us organize a search party?

You gotta understand, people from around here

just don't go up there, not anymore.

I mean, the stories I’ve heard about Chocura Mountain

have been around as long as I can remember.

Stories?

What are you talking about?

Like these two hunters who went up on the mountain

10 years ago or so.

They disappeared, then about a week later

their bodies were found, torn apart

and partially eaten by a bear it was said,

but considering the stories that went around

and what the Indians would say-

Oh, come on, you don't expect me to believe

people still believe in that Chocura stuff, do you?

I mean, those days of Indian legends are long gone.

Well, they may well be, but this Chocura's one guy

who stuck around long enough

to keep people off the mountain.

Well, somebody's been up there.

That tent didn't just drag itself up there, did it?

Yeah, well where are they now?

I don't know the answer to that one.

But tell me this much,

I mean, you grew up here.

You aren't afraid of working on the mountain, why?

I never said I wasn't.

Look, if you'd been up there, you'd know what I mean.

Rickman may think it's funny, but there's something

about that place.

You can feel it.

You really think there's something up there?

I’d like to get my hands on the punks that did this.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

What do you mean?

I mean, those punks probably aren't the person.

It's probably something a lot bigger.

What, like a bear or something?

Oh, no, no.

Charlie means something like a monster.

What? It was a bunch of fucking kids.

Yeah, kids with claws.

Take a close look at that sign.

It's been dug into it.

And look it, there's all kinds of stay hairs around it.

I think this has gone too far.

I mean, these tall tales, monsters, what's next?

The Loch Ness Monster?

Fact is we've got two missing people on our hands

and all this bullshit isn't gonna help us.

Yeah? Well, this is serious and I mean it.

Coffee?

You know, over the years

I’ve kept a few of my favorite pieces

just to save and show friends when they come over.

Most of them are from the Algonquin Tribe

and the rest of them were from the remaining Manahoac.

But a couple of years ago

a friend of mine named Burning Wolf,

he brought this into me.

And now I never showed you this before

because I knew you wouldn't believe me,

but now's the time.

And I want you to keep an open mind about this.

Where'd this come from?

Well, he said that it was given to him

when he was very young

and that the history of it dates back to the earlier tribe.

He said it was a work of a medicine man had taken it

from the body of a warrior who'd been killed by Chocura.

So it was made as a charm to protect others.

Yeah, but it could just be the tooth

from any large animal or maybe even somebody made it.

Yeah, I thought of that, but I took it over to Jim Reed,

you know the taxidermist?

Mm-hm.

And he said that, yes,

it has definitely the tooth of some large animal

but he didn't know what.

He said maybe that it was a walrus,

but he was still unsure.

And that's when I knew that the thing was genuine.

Burning Wolf, he's an honest man

and I don't think he'd lie.

I’m surprised he'd give it away like that then.

You know, he said, I might be needing this one day.

It was strange like he knew what was going on.

It was like he was passing this on to me.

Hm.

Here they are. I had 'em rush 'em.

Oh, yeah?

I’m surprised there's people around here

who'd do you favor.

I’ve lived here 10 years.

Give them a chance to get to know me.

Well, let's take a look at 'em.

Mm.

Well, wish me luck.

Say, I’m taking Barbara to dinner tonight.

Why don't you meet us at the diner?

Okay.

Excuse me, Mr. Sheldon?

What can I do for you now, Whitman?

Can't you see I’m busy?

Well, when I called your office

and they told me you were here

I came on over because I wanted to see you.

Well, actually I was just leaving.

No wait a minute, here, I want you to take a look

at these pictures.

My rangers found this thing up on the mountain.

What the hell are you talking about?

Listen, talk to me in the morning.

No, no, no, no, take a look at this.

My rangers found this thing up on the mountain

and I really think it has something to do

with what's going on.

What is this supposed to mean?

Well, this and the whole Chocura legend,

I really feel that it has something to do

with our missing people.

I know it sounds crazy

but I really have a feeling there's something to it.

So what am I supposed to do?

Well, under the circumstances

I don't think you have any choice.

Shut down your lodge and the trails

and then that way we can conduct

a safe, extensive search of the area

without any more lives being in danger.

Whitman, you are out of your mind.

Listen, I don't know what your friends have been telling you

but this is bullshit.

I thought you had more sense than this,

which is why you're the head ranger.

Can see now that was a mistake.

"The great summoning pole was said to be

in ancient ceremonies by a number

of obscure Northeastern tribes.

It was claimed to be a gateway in preparing the way

for lesser demons from the outside."

From the outside.

From the outside of what?

Oh, shit.

Well, you scared me, Barbara.

I finished stocking and I locked up the store.

Oh, okay thanks.

Thanks a lot. - What are you reading?

Well, been reading about that pole of ours.

And from what it says in here, we could be in deep shit.

In what way?

Well, they say that this is the Indian gateway to hell.

What are you saying?

Well, that's why all that shit has been going on up there.

There are more Indian charms and trinkets

than I’ve ever seen in one place before.

What they're trying to do is counteract the evil there.

They're trying to isolate it to the mountain.

But why here? How?

I don't know.

I just don't know.

Hey.

Whoa oh.

Come on.

What?

Whoa, whoa!

Do you think this'll do any good?

Can't hurt. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Look, I’ll finish this block and you head that way.

All right.

Hold it.

I hope you're not using that for blackmail.

I don't have anything worth taking.

No, I just wanted to get you in a natural pose.

Oh yeah, well, if a hanging up missing person posters

is a natural pose around here,

I think we've got problems.

Hi, Barbara.

- Hi. - Are you doing some shopping

on your day off?

Oh, just getting out on this beautiful day,

taking some pictures too.

Yeah well, you better enjoy it

because the way people are showing up around here,

bet you it's gonna get pretty busy back at the store.

Oh, that reminds me, I ordered some more

of those candy Kokuro pops.

They said we should get them by Monday.

Great. And what about the ashtrays?

Did you move any today? - Yeah-

Hey, listen guys.

Why don't we just take this business meeting on the road?

I mean, I really gotta get these up

and we only have a few stops left.

Uh, yeah. Right.

Sorry, Bill, got caught up in a fit of capitalism there.

Hey, can we give you a lift back?

Yeah, drop me at the store.

That's dedication, Barb.

Here, why don't you put a couple of these posters up too.

Put them next to the ashtrays.

What the hell is going on here, Whitman.

Why is this office closed?

I had to close it down.

I need my people up on that mountain.

Under whose authority?

My own!

This office is here to serve the public.

Well, there's not gonna be any public left

at the rate things are going.

Good god, man!

You're not gonna pull this shit again,

not without my permission!

And I believe these are yours!

What the fuck did you take those down for?

We don't want the public to think

this is a dangerous area, do we?

Well, I got news for you. It is!

Oh, you've been listening to the local creeps.

Old Indian tales.

Whitman, they're bullshitting you.

Don't be a fool!

Oh yeah, well, everything I’ve seen,

I’ve seen with these own two eyes and I tell you right now,

I might not know what the hell is going on up there

but I’m gonna find out!

Well, don't where do you come off telling me

about my mountain?

I’ve lived here all my life as did my father

and his father before him.

There aren't any demons in this town except assholes

who try to create them!

Any sign of her?

Not a thing.

- Oh, man. - We checked the whole

north ridge then it got dark.

All right, take a break.

Go get yourself a coffee or something.

But then you're gonna have to check the Devil's Ledge Trail.

I think I need more than coffee.

You wanna do me a favor

and lay off that stuff for a while?

Where do you think I get my courage?

For Christ's sake, Stillman,

give me a break.

Try to be a little bit responsible.

Sorry.

Thanks. I’ll buy you a drink when it's over.

How's it going?

Not too good.

So I hear.

Have you talked to Sheldon yet?

No, but I plan to very shortly.

Good, good.

Listen, I know this is a bad time, but we gotta talk.

I found this book at the library today

and there's something in it that you should know.

All right, but it's gonna have to wait.

I’m gonna talk to him right now.

He should be here.

Whitman, why is it every time I turn around

you're running around this lodge upsetting my guests?

I don't know if you're aware of this

but two more of my rangers are now missing.

So I’ve heard.

And so have all my guests.

And your presence here isn't helping

to ease the situation.

Ease the situation!

Four people are missing up here inside of a week

and you don't seem to give a damn.

Listen to me, Sheldon,

something is happening up on that mountain.

I’m telling you for the last time

to close this lodge.

Your guests are in danger.

You have no authority over me or my business!

This lodge is on private property,

property that's been in my family for years

and you have no jurisdiction here.

How dare you make demands on me!

What's going on here? Why won't you help me?

Because your delusions about monsters

are putting the future of this lodge

and this town in jeopardy!

- Why won't you accept- - Hey, quit it, he's not even

listening to you. - what's going on here?

Mr. Perkins is right! I’m not listening to you.

I’ll tell you one thing, though,

there's no reason to close this lodge.

This lodge is what's bringing these people up here.

And that's the way it will remain.

Look around.

My guests are enjoying themselves.

The only one creating a disturbance here is you.

You don't care about anything

but your lodge and your precious Foliage Festivals, do you?

I’ve talked to you all I want to.

Now, get out! - Your festival is over

and there's not gonna be anybody left to stay here

at your crummy, filth lodge.

You know nothing!

Now get out!

Let's go.

I’ll be back.

Maybe not.

It was close tonight.

It was out there.

You know, Charlie, I was thinking

maybe we should get outta here while we still can.

Are you serious?

Just leave?

You think that's a very good idea.

Maybe.

Hey, can I ask you

A serious question?

Sure.

Why did you come back here?

You left three years ago

with all the confidence in the world

and you took off for the big city

to become a cop

Or something exciting.

I don't know.

I had a lot of ideas

but nothing ever came out of any of them.

Closest I came to becoming a cop

was working as a crossing guard.

What, like at school?

Did you ever see one anywhere else?

Besides, I mean, if everybody became

what they wanted to there wouldn't be anybody

to watch over these mountains.

Still though it's tough when you realize

that you don't have what it takes,

that you're not cut out for a life of excitement,

and that life really is just a regular job

with the Forest Service,

and all you get is a lot of TV dinners.

So you just didn't wanna come back here.

No, it was my own choice.

I just, I guess I just realized my own limitations.

So you think we should do this now?

But you know, sometimes

When I look out over these mountains

and I see all the lights

from all the little towns and villages,

I think there's got to be more in life than this.

Everybody feels that way,

but you can't keep running all your life.

You know, maybe you just don't know

what you want out of life.

Like, take me for instance.

Remember me? Chasing women.

Well, you got one right now.

Seems to me you don't know what to do with her.

- Bullshit. - Come on.

Well, maybe you're right.

See, I’m not the only one around here

who's into running away.

Hey, I’m gonna go over to the library tomorrow

and I’m gonna check and see if I can find out anything else

about this thing.

Okay, sounds good.

You know, something still bugs me though.

What if we lose?

Well, what if we do?

What if we already have?

Johnny?

No, it wasn't Johnny.

Anyway, Johnny would have been singing.

But why is he staying so long at the fair?

♪ Oh dear what can the matter be

♪ Dear, dear, what can the matter be

♪ Oh dear, what can the matter be

♪ Johnny's so long at the fair

♪ He promised to bring me a basket of posies

♪ A garland of lilies, a gift of red roses

♪ He promised to bring me a bunch of blue ribbons

♪ To tie up my bonny brown hair

♪ And it's oh dear, what can the matter be

Charlie!

You coulda taken my eye on with that thing, man.

Take it easy. - Bill, come on.

All right, I’m sorry.

Come on, I gotta show you something.

This way, come on.

Look at this.

Seriously, look at that

They say in the days to follow,

second man will appear who will come to finish

his forefathers' unfinished work.

And when the sacrifices are once again complete,

the other demons,

more powerful and evil than the first one

known as Chocura, shall appear.

You know what that means?

Let's get the hell outta here.

Let's get the hell outta here.

We've known all along.

Well, Mr. Perkins,

you seem to put the whole piece together, have you?

You surprise me, Perkins.

Never suspected you'd catch on.

Sheldon, this is insane!

You can't control it.

Just like your ancestors and the Indians couldn't.

They could only stop it

before the stronger demons came through.

Yes, but I understand now what they didn't.

They're summoned here by their image.

That's the key.

But why?

Why would you want to do it?

Just one minute, okay, please, sir?

Perkins General Store.

Charlie, this is Bill.

Hey, what's up?

How's the business up at the lodge?

It's a lot slower today with the weekend over.

What are you doing?

I’m just cleaning up some of those trinkets

that I go left over here.

Well, I don't know about that

but I’m not taking any chances.

Soon as seeing everything calms down this afternoon,

I’m gonna get rid of that pole we found.

Whoa, wait a minute.

What are you saying, you're getting rid of it?

I’m gonna send Stillman out there to cut it down.

What? You're kidding.

Bill, come on, look.

I’ll call the museum and somebody will be up there

within the week.

Look, you gotta be kidding me.

There's no way in hell

I’m gonna wait a week to get rid of that thing.

Bill, I’m asking you as a friend.

You don't know the value of that.

Charlie, I’m...

Look, I’m responsible for what happens on the mountain.

I mean a decision has got to be made.

I’m sorry, but it's going.

Fucker!

Charlie, I was just going through that drawer

by the register.

I can't believe the crap you have in there.

Yeah, I don't throw anything away.

Charlie, look at this.

What?

What is it?

Oh shit, no!

I knew we shouldn't have let him go up there.

Next time we hunt for bears.
