or dead, and then the hound...

That's how you know he's coming.

When you see the hound

and you hear the coins,

that's when you know

he's close by.

You understand?

No, i...

Larry, I don't know

what's happened,

but I'm trying...

He listens for his name.

Anyone could say it.

It could be you

or it could be me.

And it's just dumb luck,

like the flip of a coin.

And...

I heard the name,

and I told Janie the name.

Don't think it?

Don't say it?

What does this mean?

What did you write?

I don't understand.

He... he makes you

see things.

Then he makes you do things.

Who knows how many good people he's

made do horrible things like this.

No! Oh!

God, no, please!

Please don't.

Please put it down.

You think it's me.

You think I did this?

This is what happens.

They say people snap.

They say people go crazy.

No, it's him.

It's him that's doing it.

Shh. Just put it...

Put it down. Okay?

No.

I love you.

But in the end,

Larry was a hero.

You tell people that.

Larry erased him.

You see, he did away with everyone who'd

heard it before they could pass it on.

But not you.

You're here.

How did you survive

all this time?

Survive?

Yes.

How did you beat it?

I didn't beat it.

I never knew it.

What?

If my husband told me the name,

he'd have to kill me with the rest.

My husband controlled himself.

Your f***ing husband wrote the name in

the nightstand you sold, and I read it.

He typed it in a dead article,

and I read that too.

Don't you say it.

Your husband spared you

and he got me.

He's in me now.

He's in my friends.

- You want my help?

- Yes.

Here.

Kill all the ones you told first

and then kill yourself.

It's the only way.

No. There has

to be another way.

Don't say it.

Don't think it.

It's a clue.

Look.

Oh, my god.

He's coming!

What are you talking about?

You didn't bring him here?

- Don't you see it?

- See what?

The light.

Hear the name.

He's in your head.

He makes us see things,

hear things.

Tricks to make us afraid.

He makes us afraid.

And he grows. The more scared

we are, the more real he gets.

We make him real with our fear.

We make him more powerful.

Yeah, we give him the power, and he gets

closer, and he hears us when we think of him.

But maybe if we're not afraid,

we take his power.

Maybe if we're not afraid,

he's nothing!

How could you figure it out

and my Larry not?

Help me!

Help me!

Shoot me now!

Uh-uh, uh-uh.

No, no.

It's not real.

No, it's not real.

Help me!

I have you now, don't I?

Come on.

Try another trick.

Come on. Try it!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Oh, my god.

Sasha!

Pick up.

Sasha.

Hey, this is Sasha. Leave... you

better not f***ing hurt her.

Sasha.

I'm coming.

I know it's hard,

but don't be afraid,

and don't believe

anything you see.

Whoa!

What?

No, you're not real.

You're not real.

Ha! I knew it!

Okay. Tricks.

You wanna play tricks.

Okay. I'm ready.

Elliot?

John?

Where are you guys?

Elliot!

Sasha!

Elliot!

Sasha!

I'm in here.

Oh, god.

You look like hell.

Jesus.

There you are.

Elliot, thank god.

You're back.

I'm not...

Oh, my god.

Hey, what's the matter?

Elliot, what are you doing?

Oh, sh*t.

- Get away.

- Hey, come on.

It's all going to be okay.

We're going to be okay.

I feel better.

Get away!

F***.

Elliot. It's me.

What the hell?

I don't understand.

What are you doing?

Help!

Elliot, come on.

Come here, John.

Please, Elliot.

Help!

I don't understand. Please.

No.

- Come on.

- No!

Please.

Elliot, please stop!

Would you just stop?

Get away from me!

Get away from me!

Get away!

Guys!

Sasha! John! It's a trick!

It's not real!

Listen to me!

Sasha! John!

Get off of me!

Listen to me. It's not real!

No!

John, no!

Aaah! Elliot!

Shoot! Shoot!

Oh, god!

Oh!

Go ahead. Kill me.

You win.

No. You leave them alone.

Come on, guys.

It's freezing out here.

Hey, man!

Anybody home?

I've got Alice here. She's here

to cheer you up. Buddy.

- Elliot!

- No!

Hey, is anybody home?

- Guys, come on. We know you're in there!

- I hear something. Hello?

Open the door. We're turning

into popsicles out here.

Go away!

Elliot?

Go away!

No, no, no. We're not

going anywhere, Elliot.

Uncle, open up!

Get her out of here.

Both of you! You need to go!

Open the goddamn door,

or I'm callin' the police.

Good, do it!

Honey, why don't you

go wait in the truck?

No, daddy, I gotta pee.

Go to the truck, please.

Open the door, man. Come on.

- Go. Go.

- Elliot!

B-b-bye...

No!

Elliot, what the hell

is going on?

Virgil, please get her

out of here.

Uncle Elliot!

Okay, peanut. I need you

to listen to me, okay?

I need you to go to the truck.

No, daddy, I gotta go!

Go someplace close where I

can see ya, and be quick.

Outside? Nobody's going to see you, baby.

It's okay.

Go, go, go.

Elliot.

Elliot, what is

going on in there?

Don't think it. Don't say it.

Don't think it. Don't say it.

What are you saying?

What? I have to do this!

I'm not crazy!

- Let me help you.

- No, you can't.

But I can help you, if you go!

I'm not going to

let you catch it!

Bye...

Don't say it!

Don't think it!

Just go!

Don't say what?

- F***!

- Elliot!

Christ, what was that?

Elliot, what was that?

The bye bye man.

Bye bye...

Bye-bye, what?

What is that? Bye-bye?

What is it?

What are you saying?

Oh, f***.

Bye-bye, what?

What is that?

Elliot, bye-bye? What?

I love you so much.

Elliot!

Alice?

Alice?

Alice?

Alice?

Where are you, baby?

Alice!

God.

Alice?

Alice?

Honey?

Alice?

Alice?

Alice!

What? Honey.

Come here.

I was cold!

I know, honey,

but you scared me so much.

Oh, no! Look!

Uncle Elliot!

No, it's okay. It's okay.

The fire can't hurt him anymore.

So this boy ran

a librarian over,

mutilated and murdered

her children,

and then killed his

roommates and himself,

and you had him in custody

today, but you let him go?

Yes.

But this is not some creepy kid

pulling a columbine, okay?

I talked to him.

Something is going on here.

I can feel it.

I wanted to say good-bye.

I know, baby.

Me too.

At least he gave me the coins.

What are you talking about?

He must've left them out there

for me to find.

Left them out where, honey?

In the little table.

Outside next to the trash cans.

Was there anything else

in this table?

No.

Just some writing.

Writing?

What did this writing say?

Daddy.

You know I can't read

in the dark.

What do you think I am,

a flashlight?

We got one alive!

Get me a line and morphine!

Wait, wait!

He's trying to say something!

Hey, I'm listening. Go ahead.

It won't matter.

It does matter.

Okay, take your time.

It's okay, I'm here.

And I want to know, please.

Please tell me.

Bye bye...
