Soul Fray Page #4

from getting in here, huh?

They didn't have any problem

getting into our place.

They don't like

my pretty lights.

I don't know,

i wanna believe you

but this all sounds--

insane. crazy.

Look, you don't have

to believe me.

But if you all

want to live,

you have to

at least listen to me.

You have no idea

what you're dealing with.

[Aj]

do you?

[Mike]

yeah, that's a good point.

I mean, assuming

we believe you...

And that is a pretty big

assumption...

How do you know

all this?

If you want us

to believe you,

you have to tell

us everything.

Come with me.

[Crickets chirping,

frogs croaking]

[Gasps]

It smells horrible

down here.

[Mike]

oh, god.

What the--

who's that?

Meet my brother.

Why...

Why is your brother

chained to a chair?

Because he's patient zero.

If you have questions,

feel free to ask.

He has to reason

to lie to you.

He's going

to kill us all anyway.

Oh...

Who-- what are you?

[Distorted voice]

We are the darkness.

We are infinite.

We are death.

We?

We are one entity.

The vessel before you

is one of hundreds,

just like it.

It feels no pain.

It feels no hunger.

A tool.

No more, no less.

Okay, let's try this

a different way.

What do you want?

-Freedom.

-freedom?

Freedom from the tomb

in which we have been locked

for so long.

Freedom to walk

the world of man.

So why not take us then?

Why are we

a threat to you?

[Laughs]

Wretched human.

You are no threat to us.

We simply use your flesh

as a means to an end.

They can only

possess the dead.

They wear our corpses

like a suit

to safely cross

between the worlds.

Why only the dead?

I mean, granted,

i didn't see

all 28 "exorcist" movies,

but isn't possession

something that normally

happens to the living?

[Distorted voice]

Your souls.

A body with no soul

has no light.

A body with no light

can be used.

We kill to extinguish

your souls,

to extinguish light.

Now you understand.

This isn't a war.

It's an extermination.

By sunrise they'll have

taken the entire town.

[Aj]

well, we have

to stop 'em.

-We have to do something.

-[Claire] It's too late.

There are too many of them

to fight now.

-I was barely even able

to save you.

-[Mike] So what then?

Your-- your plan

is just sit here

and wait to be sieged?

-Yeah.

-sunrise is in five hours.

They can't be out

during the day.

We have rations

and defenses here

to last twice as long.

Well, what about

everyone else?

We can't save everyone.

-So you're not even

going to try?

-Yeah, come on.

It's not right.

Guys, where did

Angie go?

After everything

you just heard,

you still wanna

go out there?

There are three guys

not two miles away from here.

They're like

sitting ducks

unless we go do

something about it.

Angie,

if all of this is real,

don't you think

we a little outnumbered?

Look, they're a**holes.

Every one of them.

But they don't

deserve to die.

And yeah, I'm officially

scared shitless,

but I can't just...

Mike!

She's right.

We can't just sit back

and let them get torn to shreds.

You're insane.

We'll be as safe

as we can be about it.

You must dye your hair.

There is no "safe."

Even here

we're at risk,

but at least here

we're armed and prepared.

For Christ's sake.

It's a sure promise.

We'll take the car you got

parked outside.

Be less than five minutes gone,

give minutes coming.

Look, I'm with you.

It's a bad idea.

It's not safe.

But if my friends

are going,

I gotta go with them.

Fine. you all wanna

play hero, have at it.

But you are not dragging me

down with you.

I will have

no part in this.

Let's go.

[Engine revs]

It's so quiet.

Yeah. that's not

at all terrifying.

The place is a whole

lot bigger on the inside

than it looks

from the outside.

-How many floors, Angie?

-There's three.

Top, basement and here.

I don't like the idea

of us splitting up,

but time is a factor.

Someone, buddy system.

Eryn and I,

you two.

Meet back up

in ten minutes

with whatever

intel you fine.

Ten minutes.

Not a second later.

Do you really think

they could still be alive?

Wouldn't get my hopes up.

I never said,

thank you.

You know,

for coming with me.

You didn't have to do that.

I mean...

You don't have

to thank me.

I wouldn't let you

come out here alone.

I know, but...

All the same,

just... thank you.

You're welcome.

-Angie--

-yeah?

You know what,

there's probably

a better time

to talk about stuff.

Yeah. no, sure.

It's okay.

[Creaking]

[Creaking continues]

A thought

just occurred to me.

Shouldn't we be

contacting the police

or some local

authority figure?

I mean,

i just kinda feel like,

what's the point?

[Eryn screams]

Shh.

You... you came.

You guys took

half my sh*t.

If you die out here,

I'll never see it again.

Thank you.

It's still three hours

till sunrise.

Don't thank me yet.

[Mike screams in distance]

Mike.

[Mike]

no. stop.

-What?

-don't look.

-What's going on?

-You gotta trust me

on this one.

Okay.

-I need the key.

-What?

Give me the key.

Come on.

There you go.

What? are they...

I've...

I've never seen

a dead body before.

It's okay.

It's okay, okay?

Mike, Angie,

what happened?

Everything okay?

Welcome back

to the fray.

We found 'em.

Angie, I'm so sorry.

Hold on,

you found the bodies?

The actual bodies?

[Pounding]

How many times

do I have to explain

the system

to you people?

[Pounding]

Anyone who wants

to live

will listen to me

very carefully.

Me.

I'm listening.

[Clacking]

[Hissing]

[Distorted voice

in Latin]

You can't hide

from us forever.

[Mouthing words]

Go!

[Mouthing words]

You!

[Mouthing words]

No, you!

Uh! what's hot!

What's up?

[The darkness whispers

in Latin]

[Car engine revs]

[Explosion]

Wait!

where are you going?

My house is in

the opposite direction!

It sure is.

And so are the herds

of those demon people.

Look, I'm driving

to f***ing Canada.

I'm not stopping

until the sunrise.

I am totally

on board with that.

You think they're gonna

just let us go?

We won't know

until we try,

now will we?

At what point

are you going to reevaluate

your personal strategies

and start listening

to me.

It could be any number

of things.

Bridge is out.

Or a road is closed.

Or...

Or we're out of gas.

Or we're out of gas.

[Mouthing words]

God damn it.

It's an hour and a half

until sunrise.

What do you suggest

we do then?

We go to odgeby's.

What?

They already

got to Vincent.

We're not gonna

fare any better.

We're not gonna be

greeting our undead clientele

with a folksy "howdy"

so much as a pipe wrench

to the skull.

Look, anything

i don't get shipped,

I get at odgeby's.

He'll have flashlights,

blunt weaponry,

maybe even

a flare or two

if he's restocked

recently enough.

Staying at or returning

to my house would have been

the best option.

But since that option's

now off the table...

We have to make it work.

And you'd better

hurry up, too.
