Munger Road Page #5

been calling every 15 minutes.

You know,

it's 3:
00 in the morning.

Something is wrong.

All of this is

adding up to something-

The van parked

in the middle of the city

and the kids missing.

He's hiding somewhere-

Somewhere close.

Chief,

he could be anywhere.

That's it.

Let's go.

(Tires squeal)

Hendricks:
You think he

checked into the hotel?

There's no way he's here.

You've been up

way past your bedtime.

Oh great,

another scary basement.

Ha! You think

this is scary?

- Yeah.

- What?

This.

It's a network of tunnels

under the city.

- Tunnels from what?

- Well, bootlegging

and then before that,

the underground railroad.

I can't even

see her anymore.

Sh*t, I'm out

of smokes.

I probably should have

told her to pick some up.

Should have went with her.

(Sighs)

Gunther knew

about this place.

It goes right under

the church.

If he's down here, he picked

a damn good place to hide.

I'd let him stay.

- (Bangs)

- Ow.

- Sh*t.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- (Water gushing)

- You hear that?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's the river.

That's the dam there.

This runs right under the river.

The church is this way.

Hendricks:
You said

he was eating the kids?

Kirkhoven:
What?

You said there were

bite marks or something.

Oh, that's what

we thought at first.

Well, what was it then?

Well, Gunther was

a sharecropper.

You know, he gave

some of his farmland

to Jimmy Pratt

and a few other farmers.

Pratt like the Pratt woods

forest preserve,

the one off Munger Road?

Yeah. Yeah,

that was Gunther's property.

There's an elevator right by

the train tracks over there.

And, you know, it wasn't

teeth marks from a person

or an animal.

It was a corn sheller.

Like a husker?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got a picture

of it in the office.

Maybe we should go back up

and take a look at it.

You know? Know what

I'm dealing with here.

What are you, scared?

Nah.

If I ever marry Nancy, I'll

have the reception down here.

Good.

And this goes up

to the church.

Oh wow, look at this.

This is great.

They don't make stuff

like this anymore.

Well, let's head back.

- (Bangs)

- (Thuds)

- Chief?

- Hmm?

I don't think

this is where the tunnel ends.

(Sighs)

And there's...

No blankets.

And there goes

the battery.

I don't even hear

the crickets.

It must be as cold

as it feels.

It's okay. Your body makes

the best warmth anyway.

No, your hands

are freezing.

Sorry.

(Crackles)

(Crackling)

- (Whispering) Rachael?

- What?

What the hell?

F***. We need

to get out of here.

Okay.

Listen to me.

On the count of three,

unlock your door

and we're gonna run.

- (Mutters)

- Okay?

One,

Two,

Three!

(Rachael screaming)

(Scott breathing heavily)

(Crickets chirping)

- (Leaves rustling)

- Scott:
Oh sh*t.

Where's that light?

Rachael?

Damn it,

Rachael, where-

Babe?

What the-

(Whispering)

Rachael.

Rachael?

Babe?

Babe, where-

Rachael!

No.

No, babe.

(Panting)

(Screaming)

(Pants) No!

- (Thudding)

- Ah ah!

(Cries)

No no no.

- No no.

- (Squelches)

(Screams)

(Scott screams

in distance)

(Screams)

(Whispering)

Corey.

Where are you?

- (Beeps)

- Corey?

What the hell?

What the hell?

(Scott screaming)

God.

(Whimpering)

Oh my god, oh my god,

oh my god, oh my god.

(Mutters)

(Whispering)

Corey. Corey.

Oh my god.

It's real.

Kirkhoven:
I never thought

it would have gone this long.

Hendricks:

Where are we?

I think we're headed

northeast.

Canada is northeast.

Ha! Wouldn't that

be something?

So how did Lafayve

catch Gunther?

(Sighs)

Well, after the five boys

were found dead,

the little girl

went missing

and we looked for days.

What happened?

You know, that farm

out by Munger Road-

The farmhouse that Jimmy Pratt

used to use for farming?

They had a house there

with a basement

and that's where Gunther

used to take them.

That's where they caught him.

Never found

the little girl.

I know this story-

The little girl,

the one that haunts

Munger Road.

Yeah. Do you believe

in ghosts?

No.

Kids take their cameras

and whatnot up there,

scare the girls.

That's why they brought

a video camera.

Holy sh*t.

The farm.

The tunnel leads there.

Must be.

All right, listen,

go back to the car,

get out there

as quickly as you can.

- What are you going to do?

- I'm gonna take the tunnel.

Ray? Ray, come in.

Ray?

- (Walkie-talkie clicks)

- Uh, may-

Maybe I should take the tunnel.

It'll be faster.

No offense.

You know it's true, Chief.

All right, go on.

Hendricks:
All right, I'll

see you on the other side.

Kirkhoven:

See you there.

(Creaking)

(Door creaks)

Yeah, Swanson!

Swanson!

It's Munger Road.

Gunther has the kids

in a farm off of Munger.

I'm on my way there now.

(Engine starts)

(Tires screeching)

(Siren wailing)

Oh god.

Sh*t. Sh*t.

(Phone buzzing)

(Buzzing continues)

(Whispering)

Corey?

Corey?

- (Buzzing continues)

- Corey?

Corey?

(Beeps)

Hello?

(Screaming)

Oh my god!

(Whimpering)

Help! Help!

Somebody help!

Help! Somebody help me!

Corey?

Anybody?

(Trunk clicks)

(Rifle c*cks)

(Muffled scream)

(Crunches)

- (Lighter flicks)

- Corey:
It's me.

Corey?

Oh god.

What is going on?

Are you okay?

I'm just-

Where did you come from?

I ran

into a slight problem.

Where the hell are we?

I don't know, but someone

outside is really pissed.

But I-

But I heard you-

Your scream.

Where have you been?

Trapped.

(Sighs, mutters)

(Whispering)

I don't hear anything.

I don't want to move.

- (Switch clacks)

- (Metal clanging)

- We gotta go.

- Wait.

- We have to go.

- No, wait.

- We leave on the count of three.

- No.

- Count of three.

- Please don't go. Just stay with me.

- (Whispering)

- One,

- Two, three.

- No no.

- No no!

- (Thuds)

- Corey:
No!

- Corey!

- (Thudding)

- (Corey grunts)

- (Crying) No!

- Corey:
No no!

(Joe crying)

- (Body thuds)

- Joe:
No. Oh my-

(Footsteps approaching)

Joe:

Oh my- Please, god.

(Crying continues)

Help me!

Help!

(Clothing ripping)

Oh man.

Oh yeah.

Oh. Oh god.

Oh god.

Holy sh*t.

No!

Help! Help me!

(Crickets chirping)

(Leaves rustle)

No! No!

No!

Ah!

(Crying)

No! No, please.

No. No, please.

(Footsteps recede)

(Clicks)

(Crickets chirping)

(Joe crying)

Joe? Jesus.

- (Crying)

- It's okay. It's okay, honey.

You're all right.

You're all right.

You're gonna be fine.

It's all right.

(Radio static)

(Loud banging)

No!

(Banging continues)

- Ross.

- Ooh!

Holy sh*t.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- What's going on?

- Joe:
Is he gone?

Is he gone?

Yeah, honey, he's gone.

We need help.

All right.

(Police radio chatter)

We're gonna have to scour

the whole woods.

Listen, we're looking

for three kids-

Two boys and a girl.

All right?

Let's get that organized.

Can you find-

You found Joe?

She's alive?

She's the only one.

We searched the place.

What the hell

happened to her?

She was in the basement

and he was here.

She must be hysterical.
