Haunted Forest Page #2

Let's just get some rest.

Jennifer?

Where's the tree?

You.

What's in the bag?

Conium maculatum.

You know, that was actually

gonna be my first guess.

Right.

What is it?

Yeah, here.

Take a look for yourself.

It says here it

"contains several alkaloids

"that work by depressing the

function of the central nervous system,

- causing paralysis."

- Correct.

"Death occurs when

the muscles used in breathing

become completely immobile."

It's a very beautiful

and very dangerous flower.

Come on, guys.

Flowers, death, alkaloids?

I'm tryin' to get

some sleep here.

I thought you were asleep.

Just with one eye.

I'm gonna take a piss.

Hey, man.

Careful with our friend out there.

Who, Bigfoot?

I'm takin' the pit bull.

Why don't

we just get some rest?

Do we know much about it?

What exactly is global warming,

and what are its

precedents?

Is global warming today a reality?

Is global warming

imminent for the future?

Jennifer.

Where's Josh?

I don't know.

We should get goin'.

I'm gonna go get him, all right?

Josh.

Kiyomi!

Kiyomi, is that you?

F***!

What the f***?

Hey, just relax!

What the f***?

It's all right, mate. It's me.

Where'd you come from?

Up there, man.

Thank God you broke my fall.

Mind if I ask you

what the f*** you were

doin' up there?

This.

Yeah?

I finally managed

to get some signal.

And?

And I got through

to the park ranger.

He's gonna send a chopper,

but it's gonna take a few hours.

- A chopper?

- Yeah, to find Flipp.

Thank God.

Get back to the car.

Sure.

Kiyomi!

What are you doing down there?

You scared the sh*t out of me.

While I was in the car,

I thought I saw Kiyomi.

So I went down

and looked for her,

and somebody was chasing me.

Where?

I don't know.

I think he just went down there.

- Let me give you a hand.

- Okay.

Come on, show yourself!

Get outta here!

Come on, you coward!

Feel better now?

Yeah.

There's a hunter.

We actually saw a bunch

of animal traps yesterday.

He sabotaged the car.

Look.

She's punishing me

for hunting in her woods.

I'm sorry.

She wants me

to prepare you now.

If I don't obey her,

she's gonna kill me.

All right, boys, start the engine.

All right, let's go

to the nearest town.

What are you doing?

Wrong way.

But we came that way.

Trust me.

You okay?

We have to follow the river

down to the valley.

Give me the map.

She just left her tree.

I can feel it.

Soon she will come

and get you.

I saw her once.

She whispered

something in my ear.

She planted her voice

inside my head.

Stop!

One day, her voice told me

to stop hunting animals

and to start tracking people.

She needed my help.

People come to the forest.

She marks them.

I make sure

they don't leave...

... until she comes

and drags them underground.

Out of gas.

Nice one, Sean.

You knew how much gas

we had to get out of here.

What the hell's wrong

with you, man?

Sean?

Where are you going?

Something's wrong with him.

You just noticed?

Dj vu.

What?

I have the strangest feeling

I've been here before.

I told you we came

from the other direction.

No, not on this trip.

It was another time.

You're losin' it, man.

F***.

Sh*t.

It's raided my morning meditation

and my yoga...

my tent.

Josh!

About time.

Look what I found.

Josh, it's the missing tourist's

video camera.

You gotta see this.

- What am I lookin' at?

- Hold on.

It's me.

It's raided my morning meditation

and my yoga...

my tent.

Watch this.

What are you showing me?

F***.

Sh*t.

Josh...

last night in the car

there was somebody else.

A girl. Listen.

Listen. She touched me,

and I felt this pain.

And this was in my chest.

Right here.

Can you hear yourself?

Josh, she marked me.

It's just like

in my grandpa's book.

What?

You think I'm crazy?

No.

Okay, somebody tell me

what's going on.

Be my guest.

It's all in here.

A Native American legend

about a ghost.

One in the form of a girl.

She's supposed to protect

the tree and the forest.

And I saw her last night.

That's beautiful.

Hey!

Sean!

There's a lake behind that hill.

Oh, yeah?

Let me guess.

Another dj vu?

You wouldn't understand.

I understand you're not

telling me something.

Just go east, past the lake.

That'll take you out.

What, are you staying here?

I'm gonna slow you down.

What are you talking about?

Sean?

Let me help you.

The spirit marked me.

And she's coming back for me.

Will you shut up?

He's just tryin' to scare you.

No, I'm not.

Can you pass me

my grandfather's journal?

"120 years ago...

"a Native American girl

named Satinka

"used to come into the forest...

as if gliding on the moonlight."

"She was in love with the son

of the medicine man.

"But their happiness

was short-lived.

"Pioneers entered

the forest that day

with the intention of clearing

the land for their animals. "

We're gonna rush them Injuns out

of our land is what we're gonna do.

Yeah, we should've done that

a long time ago, J.R.

We're gonna have ourselves

a little Indian barbecue.

- Indian barbecue!

- What do you think?

Mm-hmm, that's right.

Let's go, Skinny.

- Why don't you start there?

- All right.

Satinka!

Damn!

Stay down!

Stay still!

Don't cry.

Oh, yeah.

"The spirit of the tree

gave protection to Satinka

and saved her

from the burning forest. "

"But it came with a price."

"One night, during a rainstorm,

"something came out of the trunk.

"It was the spirit of the tree that took

Satinka's form.

It went out to revenge against

the enemies of the forest. "

People started to get sick and die.

And they still do.

The spirit brings their bodies

down into a secret burial ground.

Then he plants 'em like trees.

He replaces every burnt tree

with a body...

the human body.

Nice.

Romantic, eco-friendly,

totally absurd.

I believe

the real body of Satinka

is still inside the tree,

controlled by the evil spirit.

Come on, you don't really believe

this sh*t, do you?

I'm gonna lie down.

Now, take a rest.

You'll feel better.

Josh?

I know where the tree is.

You're telling me this now?

I think my grandfather took me

there when I was a kid.

Why don't you try

forgetting it again?

The tree and the rest of this sh*t.

'Cause come daylight,

we're outta here. The trip is over.

The tree's waiting for me.

Look, I'm gonna go check

on Jennifer.

Jennifer?

Oh, sh*t.

Remember. Where is it?

Where is the tree?

Where is the tree?

A medicine man can go

into somebody else's mind

to explore his

most secret memories.

I have to find that tree.

We need to get into his mind.

You are goin' to help me,

and then I'll let you leave.

It's all in this book.

The witch lives inside of a tree.

If I can find that tree,

I can cut it down at its roots.

Be careful. She marked him.

She is already a part of him.

The dream catcher will open

the door to his dreams.

You must sleep. Sleep.

Sleep.

Sean, it's me.

You hear me?

I need you to tell me

where the tree is.

Will you take my hand?
