- Hey, Nate.

When you had Jen,

did you enjoy it?

D'you like f***ing her?

I'm f***ing you now, Nate!

I'm f***ing you now, Nate!

Look what you did.

Look what you did!

- Now ya had Nate

out of the way,

didn't ya, Travis?

On your way back

to the gas station,

you come up with a story.

You and Nate were attacked,

the car was totalled,

you barely escaped

with your life.

Those "Bigfoots"

really messed you up.

You told that story

with such conviction,

it was very believable.

Which is perfect...

for luring your next victim

out to the woods.

- Chris, come here!

Look at this!

Look. Look down.

Watch out for the glass, okay?

You see it?

- What?

- Chris, I told you to watch out

for the glass, buddy.

You never listen.

What'd ya do that for?!

Say hi to your brother for me,

okay?

Ooh... that's gonna be kinda

hard to do without a tongue.

Ugh.

- So why'd you kill Chris?

That was a tough one

for me to figure out.

But I did.

We'll get that soon enough.

"He knew

I would do anything for her.

Die for her, kill for her."

You... you wrote those words.

You okay?

'Cause this story seems

like it's a little upsetting

for ya.

Just a second.

Got this one from your dad.

It covers most

of your junior-high years.

You were a...

a sad, sad kid

after your mom died.

Had a lot of depression.

- You'd forget your head

if it wasn't...

- Attached to your neck.

Gotcha.

- A lot of good drawings

in here.

I find... I find this one

especially interesting.

Who... who is this, Travis?

- You're so cute.

- Listen...

Rachel, um, I know...

I know you just broke up

with your boyfriend

and I know this might, uh...

be overstepping some bounds.

Um, but I know if you went out

with me, like, just once...

- Darren?

Um...

Darren, are you filming me?

- That's Rachel Redwood.

She was my neighbour.

I had a little crush on her

in eighth grade.

What?

- I'd say you had more

than a little crush on her.

There's gotta be 20 pages

devoted to her in here.

She was at a party a year ago

where seven kids disappeared.

A party you told us

you attended.

- Yeah, I left before...

- Listen to what I have to say.

- What are you doing?

- Which brings us back to Chris.

Chris and Rachel dated

for three years,

according to this...

and you really envied Chris

for that.

You felt like - quote -

"This girl was meant for you

and only you."

Chris and Rachel broke up

the night of that party.

He took off, or you would've

killed him then and there.

Instead, you took everyone

else out, including Rachel.

- You are so wrong.

- Jealousy's a terrible thing

to harbour, Travis.

- That's ridiculous.

- You have no room

to talk about ridiculous, son.

The forest

is an interesting place, Travis.

It gets darker and darker,

the deeper you go.

Sometimes you find something

that's been hiding.

But your mind...

so many more places...

for things... feelings to hide.

When you get lost in there,

some of those things find you,

they can be dangerous.

Way more dangerous

than some bullshit monster.

You know what I'm saying?

You...

You're the monster.

The monster... in here.

- Why don't...

why don't you arrest me?

- It'll happen soon enough.

- No, it won't.

I'm telling the truth.

There were Sasquatch.

They exist.

- Do you think

we're all f***ing morons, son?

Go ahead,

keep telling that goddamn story.

I'll keep tellin' my version.

The main difference

is mine's believable.

Sleep well, Travis.

- Travis?! Travis, stop!

- Case closed, Joey Domain.

- Yeah.

Domain.

Can you hear me?

- Yeah.

Where are ya?

- I'm on the highway.

I found something.

- You find a body?

- Y-y-yeah.

Yeah... um...

I, um...

To be honest, Domain,

I... don't know what this is.

But it's in the exact spot

where Travis described

hitting the thing

with his truck.

- Okay.

Bring it in.

We'll get DNA testing

as soon as possible.

- Yeah, I don't know.

There's a lot of hair and fur,

and I think it could be

clothing or something,

but... I'm not really sure.

Honestly, Domain,

this could make or break

the kid.

Call me crazy,

but... I think I believe him.

You're crazy.

Twenty to one, it's Nate.

He chopped him up...

tore him up a car or somethin'.

- Yeah, I'll take that bet,

Domain.

- Alright, bring it in.

- Will do.

I just have one more place

to check out.

I'll see you soon.

- Good job, Radley.

Real good job.

- Uh... hi.

Um... my name is Travis Brooks.

It's June 9.

Um...

morning.

Right before my mother

passed away,

she sat me down...

and she said...

She must've had the feeling

that she was gonna go,

because she said, "Travis...

...the most important thing

you can give to anyone

is to be real...

and be genuine.

Don't ever compromise

who you are."

And I have not.

I never have compromised myself.

There are things in these woods.

And they are as real

as you and me,

and they are taking people.

I'm not a liar.

And I'm...

I don't think I'm crazy.

I know it must...

...be hard for you

to believe what I told you.

So I'm gonna show you.

- Oh, God.

Hello?
