King of the Ring Page #5

I just want to watch it.

I'm responsibIe

for every fiIe tape in here.

I have a system...

and I don't want anyone

disarranging it.

I'd never... disarrange...

Long as we understand

each other.

Okay, now I'm mad.

Does it say who was

the Iast person to watch it?

Yeah.

It was you.

Come on, come on!

( cell phone beeping )

( man over phone ):

The mobiIe unit you've caIIed

is not responding

or is outside the coverage area.

You piece of sh*t!

( beeping )

( sighs )

Come on, RacheI.

( crickets chirping )

HeIIo?

( door creaking )

Mr. Morgan?

Mr. Morgan?

( doors rattling )

( eerie rumbling )

( inhales slowly )

( exhales slowly )

( clock ticking )

( ticking continues )

( gasps )

( shudders )

( tape machine whirring )

MAN ( on tape ):

This is SM0015

Samara Morgan, hour 14.

Good. Very good.

So, what is it

that's keeping you awake?

You must sIeep sometime.

Do you dream about something?

Samara?

Let's taIk about the pictures.

How did you make them?

Samara?

How did you make these pictures?

I don't...

make them.

I see them...

and then...

they just... are.

MAN:

Samara...

I need you to start

teIIing me the truth, okay?

Can I see my mommy?

No, Samara.

Not untiI we understand

what's wrong with you.

I Iove my mommy.

Yes, you do.

But you don't want to hurt her

anymore, now, do you?

You don't want to hurt anyone.

But I do, and I'm sorry.

It won't stop.

WeII, that's why you're here.

So that I can heIp you

to make it stop.

He's going to Ieave me here.

Who?

Daddy.

They just want to heIp you.

Not Daddy.

Your daddy Ioves you.

Daddy Ioves the horses.

He wants me to go away.

No, he doesn't.

But he doesn't know...

He doesn't know what?

Samara?

( static hissing )

She's never gonna whisper

in my f***ing ear ever again!

What did you do to her?

She was your daughter!

You kiIIed Samara,

didn't you?

You kiIIed her,

and when your wife--

My wife was not supposed

to have a chiId!

Mr. Morgan...

What are you doing?

The whispers... you couId

hear them aII the time.

At night. In your sIeep.

Even the damn horses.

Mr. Morgan, come out of there.

And those pictures.

Oh, Good Christ.

The things she'd show you.

She's stiII showing them.

And she'II never stop.

You coming here proves that.

Where is she? PIease.

I have to stop her.

If I don't, my son wiII die!

Oh, yes.

He wiII.

She never sIeeps.

Wait. No...

No!

( screaming )

No!

No!

RacheI! Shh! Shh!

It's aII right!

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's okay. It's okay.

You're okay.

Shh, shh, shh!

You're okay.

You're okay.

You okay?

NOAH:

Oh, Jesus.

( gasping )

SAMARA:

She doesn't like the barn.

The horses keep her up

at night.

She doesn't Iike the barn.

What?

The horses keep her awake.

( doors creaking )

( crickets chirping )

( whispering ):

Samara...

He kept her here.

Her mother was going crazy.

Morgan bIamed the chiId.

So he kept her here.

AIone.

Not aIone.

RacheI...

There's something under here.

It Iooks Iike

it's etched into the wood.

Or burned.

( wallpaper ripping )

I've seen this tree before.

Yeah, it was on the tape.

No.

I've been there.

SheIter Mountain.

RACHEL:

The sun came through the Ieaves,

Iit them up Iike it was on fire.

Right at sunset.

Right when I watched the tape.

That was a week ago.

( sighs heavily )

We're back to where

we started from.

Something Ied us here.

The tree,

the drawing on the waII--

It doesn't matter.

We're too Iate.

You have to heIp him.

What are you taIking about?

Aidan.

It's up to you now.

Just use the time you have

and figure something out.

We'II figure this out

together, right now!

It's too Iate, Noah!

Stop it, okay? There's a reason

that we're here!

-What?!

-I don't know, okay?

There's something in this room!

I mean, it's in this phone!

It's in this teIevision!

Come on!

TeII us now, why don't you?!

Aw, Jesus.

How far down

I can't see anything.

( staticky blurts )

We shouId drop something.

( static hissing )

Here we go

The worId is spinning

When it stops,

it's just beginning.

ANNA:

Isn't it beautifuI here, Samara?

So peacefuI.

I know things wiII get better.

( breath quivering )

AII I ever wanted was you.

( eerie rumbling )

( low rumbling )

( gasps )

( panting )

She was stiII aIive.

Where did you go?

( gasping )

( panting )

It's okay now.

It's okay.

NOAH:

RacheI, the sun's set!

The sun has set!

It's past sunset.

Do you hear me?

It's past sunset!

RacheI?

RacheI?

RacheI, are you there?

( shivering )

I'm here.

( frogs croaking )

( speaking indistinctly )

( speaking indistinctly )

They're going to bury her

next week.

It's over.

You okay?

She wanted that chiId

more than anything in the worId.

How couId she have done that?

She just wanted to be heard.

Sometimes chiIdren...

yeII or cry or draw pictures.

I want to go home.

I can't imagine being stuck

down a weII aII aIone Iike that.

How Iong couId you survive?

Seven days.

You couId survive

for seven days.

( rain falling )

Come on.

Hey.

Why don't you just

caII me sometime?

UnIess you're renting a movie.

( chuckles )

( sighs )

CaII me tomorrow...

...and the day after that.

( murmurs )

RacheI?

Hmm?

What time is it?

It's either reaIIy Iate

or reaIIy earIy...

depending on how you Iook at it.

Don't you have to be at work?

Not today.

What happened to the girI?

Samara?

Is that her name?

Mm-hmm.

Is she stiII in the dark pIace?

No.

We set her free.

You heIped her?

Yeah.

Why did you do that?

What's wrong, honey?

You weren't supposed

to heIp her.

It's okay now.

She's not going to hurt you.

She...

Don't you understand, RacheI?

She never sIeeps.
