No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker Page #3

to you enough already.

You have lost control

of this situation.

Doc, go check out the old man.

Look, backup is on the way.

- We cannot count on them.

- We have no choice.

They are not coming!

It is no surprise

you spent your life alone.

Who could put up with you?

You don't know

anything about me.

Whose fault is that?

Now why don't you just throw

your little handbook out the window

and start trusting yourself?

What are you so afraid of?

Take plenty of water.

Be back by sundown.

Hey, take this.

This is Mr. Anderson.

He was scheduled

for surgery today.

Surgery?

He wasn't expected

to survive.

How did he wander

all the way out here?

You know, there's a precise nature

to the wounds.

It looks as if they were made

with surgical tools.

It's just strange that

someone would kill him this way.

How's that?

He was scheduled

for open-heart surgery.

- What's wrong with you, man, huh?

- You stink.

Hey, you know what?

I got the keys, didn't I?

Pull over.

Oh, come on, Binky.

What now, all right?

Stop the car.

I could take a shower, all right?

I'll take a shower.

Stop the car and get out.

- What are you doing?

- I'm starting over.

Are you okay?

Did you see that?

What?

You really didn't see that?

God.

You haven't made

any weapons?

You don't know

where you're at, do you?

6 Corners Travel Stop.

Almost.

My people tell the story

of an evil darkness

that lurks in the space

between the light and the dark.

That's where we are.

If you do not go peacefully

when Mother Nature

calls you back home,

this darkness will come

and take you by force.

Are you Leonard Eaglesmith?

That's me.

Yeah, your family called in

and said you were missing...

wandered away from home.

You had been drinking.

Something terrible must

have happened to me.

All right, all right.

Look, why don't you

sleep it off, huh?

We'll set you up

a room here at the motel.

You'll feel better

in the morning.

I can fight back,

and I will not die lying down.

Well, I mean,

I can't make you stay.

You haven't broken

any laws,

but I think

you should consider

waiting with us

out of the elements.

I warned you.

What is going on?!

.' I tried to scold you.'

.' But yesterday

you had already gone.'

.' You know, you move so fast.'

.' You're a solitary breed.'

.' Yeah, everybody loves you.'

.' That's a solitary... .'

"You are trapped between

light and dark, night and day."

That's what Eaglesmith said.

Where are you going?

To find him.

What's wrong with you?

Binky, your head, man.

What? What?!

What? What?

Maybe you should lie down

a little bit, you know?

I don't want to lie down!

- What did I hit?

- I don't know.

Something doesn't

want us to leave.

What's going on, Binky?

Here.

Well, don't leave me.

Eaglesmith!

Eaglesmith!

Don't be an a**hole.

Slow down!

You wanna know what

the problem with me is?

You. Ever since

I met you, you...

Look, this is not the time!

I'm freaking out here!

Come on, man.

I need you now, more than ever.

Oh yeah, look who's being nice

now that they don't have a face.

What the hell

is wrong with you?

Hot!

What the... water! Water!

Don't just stand there. Water!

- Water? I don't have any water.

- We've gotta do something.

Just...

Come on, help.

Are you kidding?

- I can't do it on command!

- Just try!

- Don't look at it.

- I wasn't.

I hope that's not my share.

- Carlos?

- What happened to you?

Badass black thing's chasing me

around with a flame-thrower.

- Black thing?

- It's hunting everyone here, man.

- Hunting?

- Watch your backs.

You smell that?

I have a cold.

I don't have a nose.

I wouldn't stick

around here if I was you.

Carlos. Carlos, wait! Carlos!

I think he's in trouble.

I found these.

He's probably

passed out somewhere.

You could smell the booze

from a mile away.

If any of the prophecies

are correct,

we're not the first to face this,

- and we won't be the last.

- That's just a lot of hogwash.

"An evil darkness lurks"?

Listen to her. She's right.

Any luck with the phone?

Couldn't get to it.

Oh, there's just a little matter

of an invisible wall

that's keeping us

all trapped here.

That and a smelly ass

Grim-Reaper-Iooking thing

performing lipo on an Indian man

in a shack off old 13.

Eaglesmith.

See?

"See?" She says "See?"

Now I was hoping that

you would think I was out of my mind,

at the very least sarcastic.

I would pour you a coffee,

but I think you need this.

Thanks.

"Rotting flesh.

The smell of death.

Beware the Reeker."

Whoa whoa whoa,

let's not jump to conclusions.

Well, what about

the old man then?

Well, call me crazy,

but I would tend to believe

that the armed robbers

were responsible,

not some ghost

with a hygiene problem.

Add up the clues.

- It's called detective work.

- Where are you going?

To protect us.

Will you come on?

Come on.

What, you're worried about the cash?

- What about your face?

- Yeah, right.

Now I got nothing. I can't even

afford to buy a new f***ing face.

You can buy a face?

Well, for the right price,

they can make a man into a woman...

filet and fold your penis

right up inside. Why not?

How could you even be alive?

Well, chickens live

with their heads cut off.

Yeah, for a few seconds,

but they don't talk

and they sure don't walk.

I swear, if I get out of this,

I am never doing

anything bad again.

I'll volunteer.

I'll sing for the needy.

- Oh, check it out.

- What?

It's clean, it's green and it's mine.

I'm not sticking around.

Freeze!

Okay, don't shoot.

Please take me to jail.

Okay?

Please take me to jail.

Look, I give up. I surrender.

Okay?

You saw him,

didn't you?

Yeah. Yeah yeah,

I saw him.

Down on your knees!

Now!

I don't think

he's going anywhere.

There's a problem

with the world... it ends.

- Now! Now! Hands behind your head.

- Okay okay okay.

We could use the help.

He's not gonna be much help

when he's under arrest.

Look, I just think

we should stick together.

Armed robbery,

attempted murder, resisting arrest.

You have a sworn duty

to enforce the law, kid.

I told you there was no sunset.

Maya, make sure they protect you.

Maya, please.

- Maya, don't ignore me.

- Keep on moving.

Maya!

Look, he had half

of his head missing, okay?

Now I don't know

much about science,

but I know that when your brain's

showing, and part of it's missing,

that, you know, you should be dead,

not walking around.

This all happened in a car accident

with an invisible wall?

- I swear. I swear to God.

- Sheriff.

Clues.

That's not what killed him, you guys.

It was this... this black ghost

with a flame-thrower

of all things.

I swear to God.

He's responsive

with normal reflexes.

He doesn't appear

to be drunk or on drugs.

- It's incredible.

- What?

Your heart...

it's beating, but it's so slow.

You should be

in a coma or dead.

You're the doctor.

All of us.

It's like we're in

some sort of walking coma.

We're not quite alive
