No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker Page #4

and not quite dead.

We're in between?

Well, we can't hurt ourselves.

The only thing

that can hurt us is... this death.

We need to make a plan.

Yeah, well...

my plan is to have a good meal

and take a nap

in one of these lovely rooms.

- Sheriff.

- Listen, hey.

No, don't leave me

here alone!

Please.

I'll stay.

I like it when fish f***.

Excuse me?

I said I like it

when fish f***.

Are you serious?

Why lie?

Either all of this

isn't real,

or we're gonna

die soon anyway.

Whichever it is,

all bets are off.

We might as well be honest

with each other, you know?

Under water?

No, in a bed. Yes.

I saw two dolphins doing it

in an aquarium once.

It was... it was hot.

Not that I would want to f*** a fish.

You know what I'm saying?

I just... something about it.

It was... you know?

I mean, it was...

I once stole

a quadriplegic's wallet.

I needed new shoes.

Hello?

Hello?

I thought we were being honest

with each other, right, Deputy?

Listen, Deputy,

I was kidding, all right?

Deputy?

Deputy?

Deputy.

Deputy!

Hello?

Help me.

Hello?

In here.

Someone, please help!

Hey, Deputy.

There's so much blood.

Help.

I can help you.

You can't.

Thanks for trying.

Look out!

You know, if there was

a radiation accident at the power plant,

it could have messed

with the electronic transmission.

Have you seen the people

who stay here?

I'm not gonna sit around here

and wait to be proven wrong.

I'm with you, Sheriff.

There's no Tooth Fairy,

no Santa Claus

and, on my life,

no soul collector.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

What?

- Is everybody okay?

- Ravi?

Deputy.

Who is there?

Is there somebody there?

Who is it?

Your worst nightmare.

Hello?

Hello?

Everyone has to die.

Oh my...

Deputy.

It's cool.

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool,

it's cool, it's cool, it's cool.

It's cool.

Somebody help!

Help me!

He just dropped. He fell.

Come on.

Okay, lie still. Lie still.

This thing threw me.

Threw?

It was trying to kill me.

Okay, you have a fractured skull.

It's a serious injury.

I need you not to move.

Lie still.

I'm gonna go get

some ice to stop the swelling.

You... I need you

to keep an eye on him.

- Yell for me if he stops breathing.

- No no no no.

- What do you mean "no"?

- No.

- Why not?

- What?

What the f*** was that?

This is a taser gun.

It fires an electrical current.

It'll temporarily disable your victim.

Look, hey,

how about a gun for me, huh?

Don't press your luck, pal. Here.

What have you got here?

Answers.

What else

do these voices tell you?

They need good killers

in the in between

to collect errant souls.

How does that make you feel?

I'm one of the chosen.

I don't feel.

I'll work till I rot away,

then someone else

will replace me.

They will always be

training new killers.

It's always been

and will always be that way.

Have you even considered that

what you are doing is wrong?

Never.

This was a big deal.

You never talk about it.

I thought he was insane.

But the voices

he heard were right?

I don't... I don't get it.

This thing is a serial killer?

Was.

Was.

Whatever it is now,

it's also trapped here,

working for...

death, I guess,

taking people's lives

who are supposed to die

but don't wanna die.

What are you writing?

I'm making sure other people

know who we're up against.

Well, what about us, now?

Well, if there's nothing left of him,

he can't hurt us.

We have to completely

destroy him.

Hey.

What do you say

we do now, Sheriff?

Kill him.

We need a timer.

Well, there must be a clock

around here somewhere

that we could use

to reconfigure.

We need a trigger that's gonna release

the gas at a steady rate

- to create vapors.

- Follow me.

We fill the tank with gas.

- When it swishes around the bowl...

- Vapors.

This will give us about 15 seconds

before the vapors in the bowl ignite.

Perfect.

I... never actually caught him.

Who?

If it had been up to me,

he would have gotten away.

I ran.

I'm no hero.

So?

So...

I lived a life I didn't earn.

I was always afraid that you

or everybody would find out

what a fraud I was...

so I pushed people away.

It would have been nice

to have you around,

- hero or not.

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Look, I know I've never been much

of a father to you...

and I'm not sure

I can ever make it up to you,

but I want you to know

that I'm gonna try.

There will be time.

I really hope so.

But if there isn't,

I just wanted you to know

who your father really was.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go

help the kids with the gas.

Dad.

Yeah?

Be careful.

Thanks... son.

Sheriff?

Harris!

Sheriff!

Yeah?

Sorry, I was getting

our pilot light.

- Is my dad not with you?

- No.

- He didn't help you?

- I didn't see him.

Stay here.

Hey!

Hey, a**hole! I'm back!

Did you hear that?

No.

Hey, any luck?

- There it was again.

- What?

It's another explosion.

Oh dear God.

He's breathing.

Heart's beating... barely.

- He's lost a lot of blood.

- No kidding.

But we can't help

him if we die.

Come on.

Your time will come.

Nick, where are you?

I need you right now.

Officer down. Send medical.

Send medic...

You made this town safe.

Copy that.

What's the 20 on the suspects?

Sheriff? Sheriff.

Hey, come here.

Don't worry, okay?

I've got your back.

It's all right.

What are we doing?

When he gets close,

we open the propane valve,

we flush,

we dive in

the bomb shelter

and it's "Goodbye, a**hole."

No.

I mean, what are we doing?

Us.

Living in the moment.

If we're actually living.

- Anything?

- I'm not sure.

Do you see that?

- No.

- Lights.

- No, what?

- A cop car.

- No, hey, Maya. Maya, Maya, Maya, wait!

- Hey!

Help! Help!

Come on.

Come on!

Maya, in the shelter now!

Hey!

- What are you doing?

- I am not letting you die here alone.

What, are you crazy?

Maya, don't!

Take me instead.

Come on. I'm easy.

Psych. Payback's a b*tch, isn't it?

Copy that.

So what's the 20

on the suspects?

Sheriff? Sheriff.

Hey, there's been

an explosion. Code 13.

It doesn't look good.

I don't see any survivors.

All units respond

to 6 Corners Travel Stop.

We need fire,

EMTs, coroner stat.

Miss, don't move.

Help is on its way.

He didn't make it

through surgery.

I told you.

It looks like you owe me 20 bucks.

There has been an explosion

at the 6 Corners off the old 64.

Two survivors en route.

Tag them and bag them.

Yeah, we got a male

Native American deceased.

It looks like the vultures and the coyotes

beat us to the punch here.

Log your coordinates

and run.

Report to the 6 Corners.

Officer down.

You're the little sh*t that robbed

the casino, huh?

If you weren't toast already,

I'd kill you myself.

Oh, he's gone.

We lost him.

Too bad.

You've got a punctured lung

and a couple broken bones,

but you're gonna be all right.

He saved your life.

- He did?

- Yeah.

Listen, honey, do you remember

anything about what happened?

There were gunshots.

The gas pump exploded.
