Silent Retreat Page #5

Where did you get this?

In the attic.

This place used to be some

kind of mental hospital.

Guess that explains why

they got the place so cheap.

It's not funny.

The authorities

shut this place down.

They were torturing children.

F***ing kids, Zac.

Yeah, I get it.

Young people.

I... it's terrible.

Are you okay?

No.

I wasn't going to tell you this,

but I've been seeing

some pretty weird

stuff around here myself.

What?

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think that

you'd believe me.

As soon as Rita gets back we're

getting the hell out of here.

There's something not

right about this place.

Great. I'm going to go back out

and see if I can't find her.

Be safe.

I will.

Here, um, take this just in

case that pervert comes back,

or wherever.

I want you to be safe.

Thanks.

Please come back in one piece?

I will.

Please extend me

the same courtesy.

I'll be back.

Jesus.

Hey, Joel.

Did they find Rita?

I'm not looking for Rita.

What?

I'm looking for you.

What the f***?

What the hell is your problem?

You're my f***ing problem.

You stay the f*** away from her.

I didn't touch her.

She's the one that kissed me.

You calling my girl a liar?

No, Joel.

I'm not.

I'm calling her a slut.

And a liar.

You f***er.

It's not worth it, man.

Joel, stop.

Joel, stop!

Help! Help!

Rita?

Mr. Warren?

Come on, guys.

I f***ing hate hiking.

Rita?

Rita?

Mr. Warren?

Oh, sh*t.

What the f***?

You guys?

Hello?

Dale?

Anyone down here?

Someone there?

Hello?

You're in a lot of trouble.

I didn't do anything.

Yes, you did.

Please don't put

me back in the box.

I didn't do it.

I tried to stop him,

but he doesn't listen.

I couldn't make him stop.

Just tell me what happened.

Ned?

Ned?

No.

No what?

Ned's not here right now.

Then where is he?

That's not important.

I see.

Then can you tell me

what happened to Sarah?

I don't think so.

Can't or won't?

What the hell?

Hey, Maigen?

Who are you?

Tell me.

It's not important.

Oh, I think it is.

I don't care what you think.

Then may I speak with Ned?

Is he still here?

You're speaking with me now.

Hello?

Anybody down here?

Okay.

So tell me what happened.

You know what happened.

But do you?

Of course I do.

So it was you.

Who else could it be?

Ned?

Ned wouldn't hurt a fly.

He's too much of a sissy.

Is somebody down here?

Rita, is that you?

You took something from her.

Uh huh.

What did you take?

You know what it was.

Why would you do that?

Liars must be punished.

What do you do with it?

Rita?

With what?

Rita?

Her tongue.

Oh god. Up you go.

Come on.

What the f***?

Come on.

Come on.

What the hell happened to her?

Come on.

Dude, she needs help.

Yeah, no sh*t, Zac.

She's going to f***ing

bleed to death.

Well, um, I'll start a fire.

What?

You heat metal,

cauterize the wound.

We don't have

time for that sh*t.

Well, I'm not a

f***ing doctor, Zac.

Where's Dale?

I don't know. He's probably

still looking for Rita.

F***.

Um, speaking

of Rita, I found her.

Where?

In the basement.

She's dead.

Dead?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

F***, she's getting

blood all over the place.

Just go and find Dale and

I'll stay here with her.

I don't know where Dale is. I...

Just f***ing go find him! Go!

Fine!

Come on.

What did you do with it?

With what?

Her tongue.

It's in the box.

Nurses already looked in there.

Not that box.

My box.

Music box.

Sh*t.

Where's Tedi?

How the hell should I know?

He just went out

looking for you.

What happened to her?

What?

We got to get her to a hospital.

I'm on it. I'm on it.

F***.

Give her to me.

Where's everyone else?

They went out looking for Rita.

F***.

Dale, there's something

I got to tell you.

If I don't leave right now,

she's going to f***ing

bleed to death.

You find everyone else.

You get to a signal.

And you f***ing call me.

Ned?

Ned?

Twinkle, twinkle in their eyes

cut out tongues

that tell me lies.

Ned?

Why do you keep calling me that?

That's your name.

Everyone calls you Ned.

I hate that name.

You're the one Ned warned

me about, aren't you?

The one he tried to stop?

Ned can't stop me.

But he does know

what you did to Sarah.

Everyone knows that.

And he's afraid of you.

They're all afraid of me.

So why don't you

tell me who you are?

Or at least who

you think you are?

Why do you want to know?

It's my job to

know what's going on

inside that head of yours.

I guess you could

call it curiosity.

Ask the cat what

curiosity can do.

Hello?

Anybody?

Hey, Zac?

Zac?

Hey, Zac?

Tedi!

You.

Where is she?

Who?

Don't play games with me, boy.

She's got to be here.

Are you talking about Rita?

Where is she?

She's here.

Is she okay?

No.

She's not.

Son of a b*tch.

I know who you are.

I know what you do.

You just stay back.

Stay back!

Tell me, grandpa, did she

scream when you f***ed her?

I never touched her.

Pretty little thing like that?

I'm sure you wanted to.

Never touched her.

Is it because you loved her?

Or because she wasn't a boy?

How dare you.

Zac?

What do you think

about that, huh?

How you like it,

you son of a b*tch.

Huh?

See how you like it.

Are you okay?

I'm sure glad

I gave you that knife.

Can you stand?

Yeah.

- No, no. Don't look.

- Oh god.

Don't look.

Tedi.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Let's get out of here.

Oh sh*t.

What?

I don't have the keys.

My wallet, clothes,

everything, it's inside.

I'll go in. I'll be quick.

Zac.

Here.

Where the hell did you get that?

It doesn't matter. I just

want you to take it.

I need to know that you're safe.

No.

A gun, Zac. Please, you take it.

Just get the keys

and get the f*** out.

I'll be okay.

I'll be right back.

Did you forget something?

Yeah.

I did.

Be careful.

I will.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Rita, wait.

Is he dead?

You don't understand.

What don't I understand?

You don't understand what he is.

I don't know my own grandfather?

What did you do to him?

Pap pap, are you okay?

Stay back!

Maigen, no.

Let go, Rita.

Son of a b*tch.

You didn't really think you'd

get away with it, did you?

Tell me who you are.

You didn't say please.

Perhaps you'd like to

think it over in the box?

I'm waiting.

Zachary.

Zachary.

Come in.

Hi, I believe you

were looking for this.

Yes.

Set it on my desk.

Take the patient

back to his room.

Yes, sir.

And see to it he doesn't

get in any more trouble.

Understand?

You can count on me.

You don't have to do that.

If you didn't want my help, Ned,

you shouldn't have asked for it.

He's still alive, you know.

Not for long.

Such a naughty little boy.

And you know what

happens to naughty

little boys here, right?

Yeah.

I'll see you again real soon.

And you better not scream.

You don't want to get in

trouble again, do you?

Such a good boy.

Stop being so difficult.

Scream all you want.

Nobody will hear you.

No!

Oh god!

Son of a b*tch.

Dale?

Zac, I'm at the hospital.
