to the city.

You know, we can

come back tomorrow

once we've gotten some help.

I'm staying here,

I need some answers.

MATT:
Well, at least

let me help you.

(SCOFFS)

You've done enough.

(STATIC)

(LOUD BANG)

Matt.

Matt, come on.

Matt, stop it.

MATT:
Hey.

Matt?

MATT:
Hey, Ray.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Dad?

Rachel.

Help.

(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hey, Rachel, hang on.

Rachel, will you

talk to me? Please?

Do you ever ask yourself

why you can't remember?

What?

That night,

don't you wonder

why you can't remember

what happened?

This is not about that.

Yes, it's all about that.

No, it's not, it's about

you and your problems

and all the bullshit

around what you think

happened that night.

Everything that followed

is on you, so just stop.

That's not true, okay?

And you know it.

I paid the price.

We all paid the price

for it, you selfish prick.

You destroyed everything.

You don't fix that.

You don't take it back.

I know

it wasn't your fault.

Okay? It was an accident.

Just get away from me.

Ray, no one could have

stopped in time.

No one.

You left me alone

with nothing.

I would never leave you.

Babe, never.

You know why

I had to go away.

You know. It's not

a big mystery that

needs to be solved.

You already know.

Just... Just leave me

alone please.

Ray, hey, Ray.

Look, we all suffer,

all right?

Some more than others,

but how you're feeling

right now,

it's only temporary.

Okay? As soon

as you realize that,

everything will be okay,

because there's people

that love you

and will do anything for you,

then you can start

to move on

and live your life.

It was an accident, Ray.

Please stop.

Don't do this.

Ray.

Ray.

F*** off.

Hey, the phone's dead.

Okay, um...

I think I'm gonna try

to go out and get a signal.

Okay, do you want me

to go with you?

No.

No, no. Stay here

and keep an eye

on Rachel,

and look out

for your dad.

Okay.

Do you mind

if I take the car?

Yeah sure,

the keys are in it.

Okay, great.

Oh, hey.

Yeah?

You know that metal thing

that you talked about

on the phone?

I think Rachel has it.

What?

Yeah, she's got that

and some other stuff.

Really?

I think so,

but I don't know

for sure.

Be safe.

Okay.

Be back in a few.

Yeah.

Ray, are you okay?

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey. You okay?

(SNIFFLES) I don't know.

(VOICE BREAKING)

I don't know what's real

and not real.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know why

I feel the way I feel.

I don't know

what's wrong with me.

I know.

I know, I know.

I mean, it feels real.

Everything feels real.

You, this place,

I just... There...

There are things that I...

(SNIFFLES)

Hey,

anything wrong.

I didn't?

I'll be fine. I just...

(SIGHS)

I need some sleep.

Okay, then stay here.

Okay.

Can I take that?

Yeah, of course.

age of the find.

"100 million years old.

"My wife Sarah has something

attached to her neck.

"It gave us a circular piece

of metal from the black void.

"We think it's a receiver that

took control of Sarah's body."

"The shard is

a communication device.

"Attempts to communicate

with it have failed

Oh, Dad.

Did you do this

to yourself?

Are you real?

RACHEL:
Yeah.

Are you really here?

Yeah, Daddy, it's me.

MICHAEL:

Your mother, her father...

He found something

deep within the Earth.

Buried far from sight.

It's older than life.

It's older than this world.

When it woke up,

your mother

tried to stop it, but...

(SIGHS) But how can you stop

what's beyond understanding?

How can you know what to do?

What it wants?

What it is?

Your mother tried

but it killed everyone

she ever loved,

so she ran and hid.

But I brought it back here.

I brought it back.

Oh, God, the things

it made me do.

Feed it, to care for it.

It wants you now, Ray,

and I don't know why.

But it's killing me to get

to you and I can't stop it.

I've got nothing left.

I just wanted to know
