- It's like you're tripping...

- But you're drunk.

Yeah. Exactly! It's awesome!

Whitleigh is not a back up plan.

Whitleigh is another influence.

I'm not saying that she is.

You're f***ed up and if you

wanna throw that in my face

that's fine, but these

are the obstacles that I

overcome because

I care about us.

James, this past...

Are you going to let

me speak or not?

I'm doing this. I'm doing this

because I feel like I need to.

Can't you just smoke a

bowl and do the dishes

like a normal f***ing person?

Why do you have to just...

There is no bigger

picture to drugs...

OK so that's the entire problem:

Is that, that's what you think.

I know what I know.

This isn't about

the bigger picture

because I'm getting f***ed up.

You've chased it!

I've found it!

I am this close!

You can come with me or

you can stay behind.

Who has Adderall?

Um, nobody anymore.

There is no more at all?

Well, there's a little bit,

but I'm saving it

for a little while.

I just want like a bump. I'm

going to f***ing pass out.

Well, we just did a sh*t load.

I know. I saw you.

I have one more and I don't want to

share it with 3 people like I just did.

No. No. No.

We can split it.

We can split it.

I just hurt my

f***ing arm so bad.

I really did. I just cut it on a

thermometer or something.

You cut your arm

on a thermometer?

You see it?

Sit down. Sit down.

Yeah this is the only people

that need to be here.

Can you snort it?! Give me!

Some times there's distance,

or some times there's

your lover or girlfriend

or whatever the f***...

Does things you

don't agree with.

But you still try to at least be

there to watch over them,

or make sure they don't

do something stupid,

or get too far in to it.

All of a sudden, your role

has, in this relationship

has become similar

to mine to you.

Listen to yourself. Make sure

what you are saying is true.

Make sure that what you're

saying is you in that you're not

steering yourself and her to

some place you don't want to go.

All right everyone,

here's your answer

to the seven gates of

Hell. Right here.

There's the first gate.

You're gonna wake up

dead one of these days.

So then what are you gonna do?

I'm going to try to stop

being such an a**hole.

Long term, I need a

goal, you know...

I need something to

keep me in line.

I was thinking, it seems like

What if I went to school?

I'm failing school right now.

But I mean if you wanna go...

I mean, it gives you a sense of

direction or a purpose, you know.

You might find yourself,

like, you know.

Inspired you to move away from

your family and you ran in to us.

And granted, that

might not have been

the best thing in

the world for you,

but maybe, maybe it's time to

cut the cord and run again,

you know... -So you

would go to York then?

It's an option. I mean...

I'm gonna be wherever you are,

but what if we both

just kind of ran away

and f***ing' left Jamie and all

those idiots in our the dust?

And actually did

something with our lives

while they go piss and

puke on themselves.

It's an option

though, you know?

Yeah.

I mean, if you're

serious about it...

Yeah, I kind of am.

Then let's do it while you're

actually feeling motivated.

That's my point. I don't know

how long this is going to last.

I kind of have an opportunity.

I got to seize the moment.

I can probably finally start

putting my life together

and living like

a normal human being.

We could both be and be

a lot better for it if we just

came up with a plan, you know,

and did right by each other.

It's not too late to turn back

if you're getting cold feet.

It's cool.

All right.

So, how much further?

Well, I was hoping we

could go the whole way.

Are you OK with that?

Well, what whole way? I

mean it's the woods Sara,

it doesn't really end anywhere.

I know, but no one has ever

made it past the fifth gate.

So, I'm trying to go.

Because there are no gates.

People just get

lost in the woods.

I know, but you can't see

the gates till it gets dark.

You can't see anything in dark.

We didn't bring any flash

lights or anything.

I know, but the real gates are

gone so now when it gets dark...

We don't need flash lights. What

do we need flash lights for?

All the f***ing gates are torn

down and you can't see them,

so when it gets dark

is when sh*t

apparently really

starts happening.

OK. Like what?

Well, from what I've read,

at the first gate, you

start feeling like things

are watching you.

At the second gate you

start hearing things.

At the third gate you

actually start seeing things.

At the fourth gate,

apparently people pass out.

Good. That's great.

No one passed fifth gate.

Apparently, time starts

to warp and change

and you lose grip on anything

that's happening around you.

And no one knows what the

sixth and seventh gates are

'cause no one has

gotten past the fifth.

But that's what I

want to find out.

We're gonna find 'em?

Is that the idea?

Well, I just kind of

wanted to drop some

acid and see what happened.

I know you think it's stupid.

No. I just think... I

don't think it's stupid,

I just think that what's

going to happen is

you're going to drop

acid and then yeah,

you probably won't have any

trouble finding the gates

that make you see and hear

things that aren't there.

James, after the cave, I haven't

even really been talking to

anyone about what's

been going on;

Not even Whitleigh because...

Well, good.

I feel like something

attached itself to me.

It's like pulling me

along some where

but I don't know where

the f*** it's going.

This is just something I

feel like I have to do.

And it's been pushing me.

And I've been letting it.

I don't just take acid like

all your f***ing friends do

and hang out and

stare at walls.

You know it's

not like that for me.

This isn't just an

urban legend.

Everyone thinks the

seventh gate is Hell.

I don't think it is.

I think it might be

something better.

Something real.

I think it probably sucks.

I'm not having a

good time any more.

And if we have to wait

for it to get dark...

It'll be dark soon. Don't worry.

I'll be right back. I'm

going to get the...

Need help?

No.

There are seven gates

that lead to Hell.

When you pass through

the first gate,

a feeling washes over you that

you're completely unwanted.

Those things that are pulling at

you will rip you to shreds,

but you can see them. You can

only feel them tugging away.

It's hopeless.

When you pass through

the second gate of Hell,

you start to hear things.

The wind isn't the wind. The

leaves aren't the leaves.

And the ground starts to

spit out little voices.

The voices are your mother or

your father telling you how

you've disappointed them.

As much as it should hurt to

feel that, you already knew it.

So there's no reason to run.

When you pass though

the third gate of Hell,

You start to see things.

The voices start

to become faces.
