Munger Road Page #2

- Jesus Christ!

You're so not funny.

(Grunts)

And the train tracks await.

Are you sure

they'll be there?

You know, Father Shay

was here a long time

before I came

to St. Charles.

That was

a long time ago.

Yeah, well,

he married Charlotte and I-

Hold it.

Should we go

get the shotguns?

No, you don't bring

a shotgun into church.

- Are you loaded?

- Yeah.

(Door creaking)

(Hendricks whispering)

We got no lights?

I think there's

a switch over there.

Oh yeah,

I'm seriously creeped out.

What?

I said I'm seriously

creeped out.

Why are you whispering?

People whisper

when they're scared.

You scared?

You got a problem with that?

Well, I think

the office is over here.

- (Rustles)

- Hey, wait.

- Shh shh.

- What?

- Right over there.

- What?

I heard something

by the pew.

- Oh Jesus!

- Oh!

No. Chief?

You lookin'

for the lights?

(Laughs) Father. Hi. You're up late.

Well, it's still

an early night for me yet.

You haven't seen anything

unusual tonight?

No, just a couple of cops

scaring the jeepers out of me.

(All laugh)

So you gonna be making

those candy apples this year?

Mixing the caramel

as we speak.

(Laughs)

Well, have a good night then.

- We'll see you later.

- God bless you.

Bless- Bless you.

Christ.

Nice one.

- Whoa!

- Rachael:
Listen, tell your story.

- All right?

- Okay. All right.

So here's what

we're gonna do-

We're gonna put

baby powder on the bumper

for physical proof

that paranormal activity exists

right here on Munger Road.

You're not gonna

see any ghosts, Scott.

That is what

the baby powder is for.

Okay, check it out-

We're gonna pull up

on the train tracks, stop-

- Oh, this sounds brilliant.

- It gets better.

- We're gonna put the car in

neutral- - Rachael: And? Come on.

- Okay, wait.

- Corey:
And turn it off.

Yeah, we gotta turn it off,

and then we're gonna wait.

Okay? The kids don't want us to

get hit by the train like they were.

All right? They're going

to push us off the tracks.

Yep, they are

helpful ghosts.

That's right,

like "the sixth sense. "

And this is totally legit, 'cause

people from school have done it.

Rachael:
Wait, this

is seriously the story?

What,

you don't believe it?

Rachael:
Okay okay, I'll tell you what-

If anything from that story

actually happens,

I will ride home

with my top off

and you can videotape it.

That's like

a bonus, bro!

That's kind of like

the most awesome thing ever.

Yeah.

What about you back there?

- Rachael:
Yeah yeah!

- What about me?

I'm gonna leave

that part to Rachael.

- Rachael:
What?

- This is it.

- Guys guys guys, this is it.

- Whoa whoa, okay.

Slow and steady.

Corey:

Okay okay okay.

Scott:

All right, right here.

(Brakes squeak)

Rachael:

Okay, now what?

Scott:

Okay, turn the car off.

Corey:

Neutral, lights.

Scott:

Turn down lights.

- Rachael:
Come on!

- Corey:
Come on!

Scott:

All right.

Rachael:

This is so stupid.

Corey:

You're stupid.

Rachael:

That's mature.

Guys:

You're mature.

- (Guys laugh)

- Scott:
Nice.

Are you girls

okay back there?

Rachael:

Is that a serious question?

Corey:

Shh, Rachael, shh.

- Rachael:
Uh, how long are we

gonna sit here? - Scott: Honey.

Rachael:
Don't "honey" me.

We're sitting on train tracks.

Scott:
Okay, but there's

not a train. There's no cars.

Corey:

Okay, everybody shut up.

Joe:

God, can we please get out-

- (Loud bang)

- (Car creaking)

Scott:
Holy sh*t. Are you getting this?

Corey:
Oh my god. Holy sh*t, holy sh*t.

The car is moving.

This is unbelievable.

(All breathing heavily)

Rachael:

This is so fake.

Corey:
I swear to god I'm

not doing a single thing.

The car is doing it

completely on its own.

(Creaking stops)

Joe:
All right, you've got your footage.

Gravity pushed us off the

train tracks. Start the car.

- Corey:
Hold on, are you

still rolling? - Scott: Uh-huh.

We've got to go

check out the baby powder.

You're right.

(Doors open)

- (Crickets chirping)

- (Doors close)

(Footsteps)

- Corey:
Holy sh*t, dude, get over here.

- Scott:
What?

What the-

Corey:

Look at those.

Scott:

Where's the button?

Hold on.

I can't- hold on.

- (Both laugh)

- Corey:
No!

Scott:

Dude, this is amazing.

This is actually gonna work.

We're going to be on TV.

Yeah, let's get

the girls out here.

- (Knocks on door)

- (Door opens)

Rachael:
Morons, the car is

in the middle of the street.

Scott:
Okay, shut up

and just look at this.

- What?

- It's true. The story's true.

You have to take off

your shirt.

Rachael:
Joe?

What?

Rachael:
Joe, come

out here. Look at this.

- (Both laughing)

- I don't give a sh*t

if there's a hundred handprints

on the friggin' bumper.

It's after midnight.

Okay, miss negative,

just look at this.

This is incredible. Did

you guys get this on camera?

- Scott:
Uh-huh.

- Yeah, everything.

Documented- TV.

They're going

to be blown away.

There's no way any human being

could have actually done this.

I know!

Are you guys for real?

Rachael, it's a set-up. Whose

handprints do you think those are?

You guys drag us out here

in the middle of nowhere

with a camera.

It's all bullshit.

- No, we didn't-

- Corey, please.

(Door closes)

Did you set us up?

No.

Did you set us up?

No.

(Laughs)

Unbelievable!

(Door closes)

Okay, well,

they have a point.

She's not gonna take

her shirt off, is she?

I wouldn't close

the book on that yet.

I can work on that,

seriously.

All right.

Yep, all right.

Well, we'll keep a lookout.

Thanks for your heads-up, Sergeant.

Take care.

What was that?

That's the state police.

There was a carjacking

just off the interstate.

You think there's

a connection?

Everybody's home, Glenn.

Can't make 'em safer

than they already are.

Yeah, well, you just

don't understand, Hendricks.

Understand what?

We cannot wake up

tomorrow morning

with more kids missing.

What else

do you want to do?

We can't wake up the entire town

and scare them half to death.

The owner of the vehicle

was found dead.

What kind of car?

It's a late-model

ford van.

It's white.

What do

you want to do?

Find it.

(Engine starts)

Rachael:
I can't believe

you two. What are you, nine?

Okay, babe,

we didn't set anything up.

It's fine.

You've had your fun.

Start the car.

Let's just go home.

Joe, do we have to leave?

We're having some fun.

It's romantic.

God, Corey!

- Okay, guys, let's just-

- Okay okay, fine.

We'll go home.

(Engine sputtering)

Oh no.

- It won't start?

- No, I'm doing this for my health.

- Corey, stop playing around.

- I'm not playing around.

- Come on.

- Rachael:
For real?

- Corey:
You piece of sh*t.

- (Engine starts)

Whoo.

That was close.

Joe:

This is great, romantic.

Let's come back tomorrow.

Rachael:
You know, that

really was an original story.

Wait, didn't you forget the

twisted metal hook in the mirror?

Ho ho, har har.

The story's true.

You actually believe

all those stories?

Rachael:
Okay, the story is that
