Cheryl! Stop it!

Join us!

Ash. I think we ought to get out of here.

Yeah.

We still have a few more hours before morning.

I don't think I can wait that long.

You have to. We all have to! And then in the morning, we'll get in

the car, and we'll take the bridge. And-

Why does she keep making those horrible noises?

I don't know!

Her eyes! Her eyes... For God's Sake! What happened to her eyes?

Everything's going to be all right.

Scotty. I-I think there's something's out there.

Go to bed, and get some sleep. Ok?

Shelly?

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I remained on

those hot coals, burning my pretty flesh. You have pretty skin.

Give it to us.

Join us. Join us...

Hit her! Hit it!

Scott.

What are- What are we going to do?

We're going to bury her.

We can't bury Shelly. She's a- she's a friend of ours.

Yeah, she's dead. Shelly's dead. We gotta bury her now.

Linda's still sleeping. I think once her leg-

I'm getting out of here.

Scott, we can't take Linda anywhere with her leg like that. We don't

even know if there is anyway back besides the bridge.

Maybe there's a hiking trail, or an old road or some other way around

the cliff. I mean there's gotta be another way besides the bridge.

Listen to me. Linda cannot walk with her leg like that. She can't

even stand up.

Well, then we'll leave her here. Until we can send somebody back.

What? Are you crazy?

Look! I'm getting out! I don't care what happens to her. She's

your girlfriend, you take care of her. I'm getting the hell out of

here. Right now.

Soon all of you will be like me. And then we'll lock you up in the

cellar. Hahahahaha

Ash! Ash!

Oh My God!

Help me!

Scotty. You're going to be Ok. You're going to be just fine.

You'll see.

Ash. It's not going to let us leave. Cheryl- Cheryl was right,

we're all going to die here!

No, we're not going to die.

We're all going to die. All of us!

No, we're not going to die! We're not going to die! We're gonna

get out of here. Now listen to me Scotty. Is there a way around the

bridge? Scotty! Listen to me please for God's Sake! Scott!!

Ash. Ash. I don't wanna die. You're not going to leave me are you

Ash? Are you?

I don't wanna die. You're not going to leave me here are

you? Are you Ash? Hahahahaha

Scotty! Now c'mon listen to me for God's Sake! Is there a way

around the bridge?

There's a way. The trail. But the trees Ash. They know. Don't

you see Ash? They're alive!

Shut up will you? Shut up!

Kill her! Kill her!

Kill her if you can, loverboy.

Now, forgive me Linda.

Oh Ash, help me please! Ash, help me please Ash. Oh Ash. Please

don't let them take me away again. Please.

No, I won't. I won't. I promise.

Ashley. Ashley, help me. Let me out of here. Ashley? Ash, help me.
