Just makes me feel better is all.

Buddy.

You all right?

Hey.

Buddy, you okay?

Jen!

What'd you say?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You all right?

Yeah.

What was that?

Are you okay?

Hey.

Hi. Just one today?

Hi.

Uh, actually,

I was wondering if Jen

Craven still worked here.

She does.

I think she's in the back.

Oh, she's working right now?

Yep. Let me go find her for you.

Please. That'd be great.

Okay, just give me one moment.

Seth?

Seth. Holy sh*t.

Jen...

I really need to talk to you.

Seth, I'm at work.

It's important.

I have no one else to talk to.

Please.

Okay, but it has to be quick.

It's been a long time.

Almost two years.

How have you been?

Better.

Are you still with Nicole?

I just... I want you

to know something.

I said a lot of things, and I did a

lot of things to you that I regret.

And I'm sorry.

I know that you would never do

anything to hurt Mark or Rob.

You told everyone it was me.

I don't remember everything about

that night either, but what I do...

it's unexplainable.

You still don't remember

anything at all, do you?

The flashes.

That noise.

The lights.

You're still going on about this.

I don't blame you, Seth.

You can just give up this

bullshit story and move on.

I notice you've moved on.

It's been two years, Seth.

Did you just expect me to wait around

every day for Mark to come back?

Why are you really here, Seth?

Did you see the news this morning?

It's the lights, isn't it?

The same ones everyone

saw that night.

What about them?

There's something weird going on.

I think it has to do with Mark.

I really don't think I

can take this, Seth.

Look, Jen, I've never

told you this...

never told really anybody...

but something happened

to me that night.

What do you mean?

The days leading up to the

night him and Rob disappeared,

I was having nightmares,

awful ones.

They felt so real.

I couldn't quite

remember them exactly,

but I remember flashes,

the beams of light.

And you never told anyone?

No.

Everyone already thought

I was crazy enough.

But guess what I've

been dreaming about.

Seth, Mark is dead.

You have to understand

that and move on.

It seemed pretty easy

for you, didn't it?

I'm sorry, Jen.

Look.

I...I'm dead serious about this.

- I know I sound f***ing crazy.

- Yes, you do.

Would you listen to

me, please, Jen?

Mark is coming back!

I can feel it.

I've seen it.

You saw it in a dream, Seth.

You went through a traumatic experience,

which you're clearly not over.

That's what happens.

No, this is something else.

I have to get back to work.

Can I have your number?

You know, just in case.

In case what?

Anything happens

I have tried to call

you a couple of times.

I don't exactly live in

the same place anymore.

Did you move in with your new guy?

Get some sleep, Seth.

Maybe see a doctor.

Was that who I think it was?

You scared the sh*t out of me!

Sorry.

It was Seth, wasn't it?

What the hell was he doing here?

You shouldn't be talking to him.

It's no good for you.

Look, Tracy, something

f***ing weird going on.

Well, what did he want?

He said something bad

was gonna happen.

And he started talking about Mark.

It just threw me off a little bit.

Do you want to take a few minutes?

- Yeah, I need some fresh air.

- All right.

I'll be right back.

Where are we?

The hell do you think you're doing

bringing a gun in my store?

I need to get to Patten.

It's about 100 goddamn miles

in the other direction.

Now, get out of here

before I call the cops.

What the f*** are you doing?

Don't f***ing move, or

I'll shoot you dead.

Now, step away from there

so I can see you good.

Drop that f***ing knife.

Ah!

No!

1:
00 my ass.

It's almost 2:
00.

I know, Clancy. I'm sorry.

I got held up.

I can stay late if you need me to.

I need you to give Jimmy a

hand stocking up aisle three.

We'll see how the day goes.

Get to work.

Missed you last night.

What?

My girlfriend's party.

I thought you were coming out.

Yeah.

Didn't feel like it.

There was a ton of her

hot girlfriends there.

I'm sure there was.

You need to start

coming out more, man.

You need a girl.

I'm fine.

Just gonna sit inside the rest

of your life, rotting away?

Just because I didn't want to go to your

girlfriend's f***ing birthday party,

I'm rotting away?

I'm just trying to help you,

get you out of the house.

You need it.

What the f*** is that

supposed to mean?

Never mind.

Jesus.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be an a**hole.

I'm sure that Annie has

some awesome friends.

Have you been out at

all since it happened?

Just because I don't

want to go out drink...

Seth, your nose.

Oh, sh*t.

Is there something

you're not telling me?

There's nothing to tell, Clancy.

You getting sick again?

What's that supposed to mean?

Don't play stupid.

Look, I'm fine, all right?

A healthy man does not get three

nosebleeds inside of a week.

On top of that, you've been

late almost every morning.

You look like sh*t.

So again, Seth,

is there something

you're not telling me?

I got to get back to work.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Piece of sh*t.

Jesus.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

but this is private property.

You can hunt about 1,500

feet out that way.

What are you doing in my house?

Excuse me?

Wait.

Wait!

Ah!

F***!

No!

Sh*t. Sh*t.

No!

Here you go.

This should be fine.

Oh, thank you.

Have a nice day, ma'am.

Hey, dude, did you hear?

What?

About the murders.

No.

It happened up in Derry.

Those guys over there

were telling me about it.

What happened?

They aren't sure.

They found a body at a gas station.

They think there's another

one, but they can't find it.

How was he killed?

Head was blown right the f*** off.

Pretty cool, huh?

Seth?

Seth, you okay?

Yeah, I just need to

sit down for a second.

All right.

Let's go in the back, okay?

Let's sit you down for a

few minutes, okay, buddy?

You better tell me what the

f*** is going on, Seth.

I don't know.

You went to the doctor today.

What the hell did they say?

Nothing.

They said nothing?

This isn't gonna turn into another

problem like last time, is it?

No.

Take the rest of the day off.

I'm fine.

Take the rest of the day off.

Don't come back until

you're better.

Can I get you anything else?

Yeah, some more water, please.

Can you believe this

son of a b*tch?

Excuse me?

This bastard should be burned.

What some are calling

the most gruesome crime

in the last ten years

in southern Maine.

Earle Harris, owner of the station,

found in the parking lot,

the apparent victim

of a brutal crime.

Police at this time still

do not have any suspects

and are urging anyone

to come forward

with information they may have.

Again, police are treating

this as a homicide

and are asking any local residents

that if they must venture

out, please take precaution.

You okay, hon?

Police says there may

be a second homicide...
