We're here.

With a roof over our head,

we got free dinner.

What's the big deal?

Why can't you just make

the best of things.

I don't know, cause we have

a show to play tomorrow.

And we're stuck in some house,

in the middle of nowhere, on some

road that doesn't seem to exist.

Sorry if I'm being a bummer

by pointing this out,

but this isn't exactly normal.

Nothing's ever your fault.

- What?

- Nothing.

Just...

miss Alex that's all.

If she were here everything

would've been different.

Yeah, so do I, obviously.

Then why did you let her leave?

What did you say?

You let her leave that night.

You wanted to f*** some...

nobody a**hole in some...

sh*t hole club.

I hope it was good.

I hope it was really good.

Why are you doing

this right now?

You know that I loved

her more than anything.

It's not funny, Kim.

You should see your

face right now.

What the f***, man,

that's so messed up.

I didn't make her leave that

night, it's not my responsibility...

My God! My God!

Okay, I'm gonna get you towel.

Jesus!

Hey! They're really sick.

Ava and Kim can't stop

throwing up

this black stuff all over the

place. We have to do something.

Dear.

It's probably the meat.

Newcomers.

Well, the first time

is the worst time.

What is in that meat?

What is going on?

I got just the thing.

They'll be fine as soon as

they get some medicine.

Nice play.

Thank you so much.

This medicine is wonderful.

Of course, darling.

See? All better now.

Are you sure you don't want to change

into something more comfortable?

Yeah, I'm sure, thank you.

Shouldn't we be calling

a doctor, though?

Don't you worry, Dale

knows what he's doing.

Old family recipe.

Yeah, from the old world?

Yes, young lady,

from the old world.

But I swear if I could

market this I'd be rich.

Sleep tight.

- Guys we have got to go.

- You need to calm down.

Let's just get some sleep.

Some peace, while the boys

can come fix our van.

What? No. We go take their

tire and we get on the road.

I will pay for a hotel.

I'm not going anywhere.

How do we even get

to the van tonight?

I'm going to bed.

I'm so, so sleepy.

How are you guys acting like

nothing is wrong right now?

I wish Alex was here.

I know. Me too.

But she's dead.

I wish Sadie was a

better friend to Alex.

I have more faith

in you than that.

Why did you leave me here?

My God.

Let us rejoice.

Let us rejoice.

Hear now his creed.

Contentment thou shall find,

through suffering.

And through long years in it.

For the damned do not grow old.

Their minds are nourished.

Are living in the dark

waters of the Gods.

Know us now.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Damned do not grow old.

Thou has begun my transition.

Damned!

Do not grow old.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Thou has begun my transition.

Don't be a baby.

You left me there to die.

Now we can all be together.

Hey!

- Black.

- Black, pink, black.

I like pink, go with pink.

- Of course you do.

- You look great in it.

You want to wear

the black I know.

Of course I want

to wear the black.

I...

Yeah, where were we?

Lucas, what just happened?

Seems I've lost my

train of thought.

Lucas?

Lucas, you okay?

I gotta call you back.

Hello? Hey! Are you okay?

Miss I...

- Hey.

- Lucas, you okay?

Yeah.

Damn it! Don't do

that to me all I heard

was this god-awful

screeching sound,

I thought you're being attacked

or something.

You need to come early.

When are you coming home?

Baby? Talk to me.

Lucas?

Hey, what's up?

Honey, I've got to call

you back, okay. I'm sorry.

I love you.

911, what's your emergency?

I just hit a woman with my car.

You just hit a woman with

your car. Was she on foot?

Yeah, she's in this road right

now, she's very badly hurt.

She's very badly hurt.

Okay we got it. Where

are you right now?

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

I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Sir, sorry, you're breaking up.

I said, I'm in the middle

of nowhere!

What do I do?

Okay, sir, I can't send an ambulance

if I don't know where you are.

Is there a cross street?

No, there's... Um, there

is some lights up ahead.

I think there is a town

a few miles ahead.

Okay, so there's a town. Can you

tell me anything about where that...

I can't find it on

my GPS, I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm passing you to

emergency medical, one moment.

Okay.

Hello, can you hurry up please?

- Sir it's okay, are you there?

- Yes I'm here.

I'm the certified EMT,

are you with her now?

Yup.

Great, describe her

condition to me.

She's got a headed trauma

and some broken bones.

- Multiple broken bones I think.

- Okay, anything else?

She's got a compound

fracture of her knee. I think.

- Is she's breathing?

- Yup.

- Is she conscious?

- I can't be clear.

- You're doing fine.

- Sir? Lucas?

Yeah.

- Lucas?

- How do you know my name?

We have your cell.

- Right, of course.

- You need to trust us, okay?

Okay.

She's in critical condition

and we can't seem to locate you

so we like you to try

and move her.

You want me to move her?

You said there's a

town up ahead, right?

All right, okay.

You're okay.

Okay, I got her in the back

seat, we're are driving.

I'm heading south.

Are you still with me?

Can you hear me?

Yeah we're here just

stay with us, okay?

You're doing just great, Lucas.

There's a lot of cracks in the

windshield, I cannot see very well.

What I am looking for

when I get there?

- We're gonna talk you through it.

- All right, good.

I'm doing about 80 right now, I think

I can go faster, I'm gonna go faster.

Lucas? You need to

say something to her.

Yeah.

You know, in case

she can hear you.

I'll do everything I can.

Lucas, tell us when

you're close.

Okay, just got into town.

There's shops, I see a barber shop. I

see there's a tattoo parlor, a church.

Do you see any people?

Anyone on the side of the road?

Anyone you can ask for help?

No, I don't see anyone,

there's nobody.

What about on coming traffic?

Can you flash your lights

at the on coming traffic?

No, I don't see anyone.

There's no on coming traffic?

Or there's no people?

Okay, wait a minute.

Okay, there's a sign up here.

It's a hospital sign, I think I'm

pulling up into a local hospital.

Dispatch to vehicle. He's located

a medical facility of some sort.

Be advised, no contact.

Local PD.

Lucas we'll stay with you

till you've made contact.

Just make sure you stay

with us until then.

Help! I need some help!

Hello?

Hello, I've an emergency.

Is there anybody here?

Sir, is there some sort

of a problem?

Did you run into a problem?

- Hello?

- Sir, is there a problem?

Lucas? Lucas, can you...

What the f***!

Hey!

Sir, what's the problem here?

- We need you to talk to us.

- 'Cause we can help.

Sir?

Sir, we need you on the line,

telling us what you see,

we need you to

keep talking to us.
