Haunted Page #4

Synopsis: When the bomb comes the first thing we do is to run away, later we remember and think of everything we left behind. We did not bid farewell to our homes, memories, photos, identities and life that passed. It is about how homes haunt the life of the souls that were living in them, as much as they themselves haunt the houses.

Evie, Evie, it's gonna

be OK, all right?

I'm gonna fix this.

How?

It's gonna be cold and

dark soon, and I'm really

not feeling well.

We need to keep her warm, Nick.

We need shelter where she can

rest while we get help.

Nick?

You sure the house is empty?

If that's some

kind of drug lab, then

what are we doing?

It's nothing like that.

I told you, it's empty.

Then why was Seth there

with those axemen?

No one lives here, Evie, OK?

Trust me, no one.

Is anybody else thinking

what I'm thinking?

Forest, ravine, car?

So the car

could still be sitting there?

Unless those maniacs

chopped it up.

Well, should we try and see?

Come on, we'd never

make it by dark.

And Evie can't make it

anywhere right now.

Well, I would rather go into

the woods than stay inside

that place.

Oh, in the same woods where

they murdered Sam?

Sshh!

Please, shut up!

We don't need to broadcast

ourselves.

Nick, it's

like you're all ganging up

against me.

How am I the only one that

thinks this is a bad idea?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

There is no way that I'm

staying in there.

Stop it.

Look at me, OK?

Listen.

We find one room.

We wait until the sun comes up.

That's it.

That's all we do, OK?

What if those men come back?

Hey.

Look at this.

You see that window?

That overlooks the entire yard.

OK?

Hey, come here.

Come here.

Come on, look at this window.

We can see the side

yard too, OK?

We'll... we'll put one man on

the back porch, one in the

front, and we'll see

anyone coming.

Not after dark, we won't.

Come on, Evie, OK?

We cannot drag you through

the woods tonight.

We have to keep you and the

baby warm and safe until...

Don't make this just about me.

I'm not.

This is best for everybody.

Is it?

There's not a part of this,

Nick, that's you

wanting to be here?

It's not a part of it?

What is it, exactly?

What is it that you think that's

here that's going to

solve any puzzles for you?

Evie.

Do you see those?

Do I see what?

Nnnnghhhh!

Nicky!

What's happening!

Nnnnnghhhhh!

What's happening, Nicky?

Nicky!

No!

Get off me!

Help!

Nicky!

Get back!

Nnnggghhh!

Nicky!

Ah!

Nick!

Nicky!

Nicky, Nicky!

Nicky, wake up.

Nicky, please wake up.

Nick.

Nicky, look at me.

Nicky, wake up.

Nicky?

Ryan.

Ryan, wake him up, wake him up.

Nicky, look at me.

Nicky, wake up.

Baby, baby.

Wake up, Nicky.

Nicky, you gotta wake up.

Wake up, Nicky.

Baby, wake up.

So the good

news is he's still breathing

and he's got a regular pulse.

Then why isn't he waking up?

I don't know.

But look at his eyelids.

That's REM sleep.

He's dreaming.

Lillith says there's some stuff

that we should go back

and get in the van.

You watch him, OK?

Hey.

Since you decided not to have

the baby tonight, maybe you

could find some more candles.

How quiet can you be?

Mmm.

Mm!

No.

Get back to the house.

You'll know when to go in.

Hey.

It's so good to see you

with your eyes open.

How long was I out?

30 minutes?

Where's Ryo?

Uh, he and Lillith

went to the van.

What happened out there?

You were touching the tree.

That tree's a hanging

tree, Evie.

Just like Seth said.

One of the bodies is

from the Civil War.

How would I see someone

who's already died?

How would I see anyone?

I wasn't touching a person.

I was touching a tree.

Do you remember touching

the baby?

You said you never wanted to

touch him 'cause you never

wanted to know.

What did you see?

Is it something bad?

Is that what gave

you the seizure?

All I saw was our baby.

Yeah?

And he wants out.

Oh.

Took you long enough.

All right, Nicky.

Alive and kicking, huh?

This ain't.

I can surf, but I can't

make a phone call.

What happened?

Tell me.

Tell you what?

Why you smell like that.

Smell like what?

Like sex.

What are you, some kind of a

bloodhound all of a sudden?

Lillith?

You've got to

be kidding me, Ryo!

It was her, OK?

It wasn't me.

She was all over me.

We're out here worried about

getting our f***ing heads

chopped off by these lunatics...

What are you?

Pissed off or jealous?

They could have snuck up on you!

Don't you ever grab me!

I grabbed your f***ing jacket.

That's the only thing I have

ever asked you, in all of the

years that we've been friends.

What happened under that tree?

I don't know.

I know you saw something.

What did you see?

What did you see?

Hey, get in here.

Hurry up!

There's

something big in this wall.

I just think that tree lets

critters inside the framework.

I mean...

What the hell is that?

We need that flashlight.

OK.

Ready?

Aahh!

Ready?

Hey, you're not gonna kill it.

I can't see anything.

Come on, you're torturing it.

Nick, stop it.

This is cruel.

I... what?

I just want to see what it is.

Well, you don't know what it is.

It could be... it could

be dangerous.

Back up, back up, back up.

What are you gonna do?

Ryan!

What the...

the f***?

What did we do to it?

We popped it like a zit.

Jeez.

There's nothing in

there but goop.

Holy, holy sh*t.

Guys, shouldn't someone be

outside watching the house?

Yeah.

She's right.

I'll take the back.

I'll take the front.

Nick, I don't want to be here.

I'm serious.

I have a really bad feeling

about this.

Come on.

We should stay where it's warm.

We shouldn't stay here at all.

Nicky.

Peekaboo, I see you.

I'm down here.

My little Nicky.

I remember when I used

to call you that.

Mom?

What are you doing in there?

We're all trapped in here.

Your father, Nicky.

He's trapped in here, too.

The door to the cellar...

you need to open it.

Are you really my mother?

Look at me.

I can't.

I'm not beautiful anymore.

Why?

What do you mean?

I mean, tell your

friend to stop swinging that

goddamn bat!

I think you're looking at a door

that's never gonna open again.

Not with those roots

jamming it shut.

Wanna give this a try?

Yeah, no telling what's

down there.

I know.

It's the only room

I've never drawn.

Never could.

On three.

One, two, three.

What are you guys doing?

The things in the walls

are down there.

What?

I just want to see

what's down here.

Close it, now.

Guys!

Guys!

Now, goddamn it!

Jesus Christ, calm down!

Hey!

Axemen!

Axemen everywhere!

They're everywhere.

They're all over the place.

It's crazy.

They're all over out

there, just looking

like they're asleep.

They're all over the backyard,

like statues.

Where the f*** do we go?

Where do you think?

We only have the cellar.

Go, go, go, go!

It's the door.

The door triggers them.

What the f*** do we do?

For starters, we stay away

from that f***ing door.

Come on.

Where the hell are we gonna go?

Where the hell are we going?

I guess we're going

back to the car.

You mean, if you hope

it's still there.

Do not let go of my hand.

Run!

They're gaining!

Come on!

Nicky!

Evie, go!

Nicky!

Go now!

Come on!

Nicky!

Hey!

Over here, a**hole!

Hey!

Right here!

Hey.

Oh my god!

Get in, get in!

Did you see Evie or Lillith?
