as opposed to being a normal

little boy having nightmares?

You're missing my whole point.

He is experiencing a form of

what you are experiencing.

You know I want to find

the real reason to this.

Okay. And?

And... I'll call some old

associates from ped.

I'll find Nathan a specialist.

It's going to be okay.

I won't be late.

"Best photo."

Hey, where's your car? I

need to get out of here.

Are you okay?

It's been a tough night.

I need to get away

from all these people.

Hey, new guy!

Hey, new guy.

This is a private party.

Members only.

Now, lucky for you,

it's initiation night.

I'm serious.

Get lost, man.

We're leaving, Jimmy.

Where you going?

Is this like your third date?

If I remember correctly,

I think I hit it on the third date.

Am I right?

You're an a**hole, Jimmy.

Ha. I love it

when she gets mad.

She gets that little

crease in her forehead.

Anyways, back to business.

Listen, Jim...

Ben.

Right.

I'm Jim.

Ben, I don't want

to embarrass you,

but I am gonna have

to ask you to leave,

unless of course you're

up for the initiation.

Ben, seriously, come on.

Then go, Ben.

You could go and possibly

you'll get lucky.

Maybe. Personally,

I know this chick

and she'll probably find

out you're a big p*ssy

and dump you within a week.

Exactly like how I dumped you?

Ohhh. Oh, no, she didn't.

Think about what

you're doing here.

You've got the whole town

standing here watching you.

What do I have to do?

Yes, hello, I'm looking

for chief Collins.

I see. Could you please

tell me where he's at?

Right. Um, no, great, thank you.

This tunnel runs

3.5 miles deep

into the mountainside.

All you gotta do

is walk through the

tunnel to the other side

and we'll pick you up.

Come on. No one's going

to be waiting for me.

You think little Nikki's

going to leave you hanging

like a bad case of blue balls?

Nikki?

Ben. This is a bad idea.

We need to leave.

I can't leave now.

Take the keys and put

them somewhere safe.

Come on, take the keys.

Let's do it.

No flashlights.

Just you and your little

wee wee in your hand.

Ben, please!

Dr. chambers.

I'm kind of surprised

to see you here.

Yeah, well, I felt like

I could use a drink.

Hi. Bourbon.

Neat, please.

Man after my own heart.

Yeah, well, I...

Didn't really come

here to chit-chat.

Just trying to figure out

what's going on on my property.

Okay.

Yeah, I can't really

put my finger on it.

You ever see anything unexplained

or out of the ordinary?

No, can't say that I have.

Um, it's a pretty typical

country town here.

Pretty much find out

anything about anybody

by just looking

under their wood pile.

Hey.

Who is it?

Boo!

I got you.

How's that ground

taste, huh? Huh?

You like that?

You going to cry?

You going to cry?

Huh?

Yes, Darren!

Hey, Darren!

Darren!

Darren, where'd you go, man?

What...?

Come on, let's go!

What the hell is that?

Get up! Get up!

Ben!

They're gone!

What happened?

There's something in the tunnel!

It took those guys!

Somebody call the police!

So, Dean booth, you

were around when, uh...

When they lost their child?

I've been the chief

here for 15 years.

Must have been rough, huh?

Watch a man, a family,

lose a child like that.

You're a father, right?

I did everything I

could for that family.

Dean clearly lost his mind.

You saw that.

He almost attacked your son.

Yeah, I'm not so

sure about that.

It's a small town.

Why do I get the feeling

that you're questioning

my integrity?

You tell me, chief.

There's an accident out

at the Rockville tunnel.

Group of kids out partying.

Ah, hell.

Anybody out there yet?

Mills.

Staties are in route.

Alright, let's go.

Mind if I ride along?

You might need a doctor.

Sure.

Come on.

Ben?

Mind telling me what's going on?

Dad, there's something

in that tunnel.

It took those two guys.

Who were you here with?

With Ben.

Son, you mean to tell me

that you brought my

18-year-old daughter out here

in the woods to drink beer

with these derelicts?

Chief Collins.

We searched the entire tunnel.

There's nothing in there.

My guess is some kind of prank.

No way! I saw it

with my own eyes!

Saw what exactly?

I don't know! These

dark creature things.

They ripped those guys away!

There's blood

all over the place!

You must have found that.

That's enough.

There's no blood

in there, chief.

He's right, chief.

Alright, gentlemen,

I want to lock down

this entire area.

I want roadblocks

on all access points.

Let's find those kids.

Let's go.

I'm sorry but he's

going to have to come

to the station with us.

Look, he's... he's

clearly frazzled.

I got two missing kids and

your son's a witness.

He's going to come with us.

Fine. Would you

give me a minute?

Sure.

Dad, I saw them.

Like the shadow people

we saw on the Internet

except they're not shadows, they're real.

He took those guys.

Okay, look.

I'm going to get

Heather and Nathan.

We are getting

out of here tonight.

Give me the keys.

The keys.

Nikki, the keys.

Oh.

Come on.

Hm?

You've got a little

bit of a fever.

I do?

You do.

You really scared

mommy yesterday.

Can I have your phone?

Yeah.

Thirty minutes

and lights out, okay?

Okay.

I love you, little man.

I'll be back to

check on you, okay?

Okay.

Mommy!

Mommy! Help!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Open up!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy, please open up!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy! Open up!

Mommy!

Mom!

Mommy!

Ahhh!

Heather!

Nathan?

Heather!

Hello?

Heather!

Heather?

Heather!

Heather!

Hey! Hey!

Hey.

Come on. Don't do

this to me, baby.

Heather.

Heather!

Hey.

Hey.

Nathan.

Hey, it's me.

It's me, baby, it's me.

It's me, baby.

I've seen them.

I've seen them.

They...

They have our son!

They have Nathan!

They took Nathan!

What I don't understand is

why you don't have

any blood on you.

You said it exploded

all over the place.

Chief, we have a report

of a missing child

out at the chambers' property,

- possible abduction.

- Please advise.

I'll handle it.

You stay put. I'm not

finished with you.

Dude, that's my family.

Are you serious?

Sit down. If

something is wrong...

Sit down. You're the last

person to see two men

who are now officially missing.

You're not going anywhere.

Wait, wait, wait! You

can't leave me here!

Watch me.

My dad have you on

baby-sitting duty tonight?

Maybe I just thought

we'd appreciate

spending some quality time together.

Alone.

My phone died. Got to

check my Facebook.

What are you doing to me?

Just printing some pictures.

Alright.

I got to pee.

Hello?

Hey, can anybody hear me?

Hey!

Help me!

Help me!

Get me out of here!

Run, run, run!

Run, run, get in, get in!

Go, go, go!

Alright.

Hold on.

It's chief Collins.

We're in here, chief.

What are you doing

with the gun, John?

John!

Batteries! Heather,

where are the batteries?

Where are...

Where are the batteries?

Upstairs.

Where are you going, John?

I'm going into the

woods to get my son!

I've got all accesses
