how long have you been sober?
i heard the first 90 days are the toughest.
i know it doesn't add up, but i get something from holding onto this.
we're going the wrong way!
oh please, [ NAME ], could you not patronize me?
hey, can you keep it down please?
you know i hate it when you don't take the things i say seriously.
come on sweetheart, i just had a rough day today.
you're drunk, what a surprise!
that's not it, it never is!
you've been saying that for years!
everything looks okay after ten beers.
i could use a little help.
don't you know how tough this is for me?
at least one of us is having a good time.
reminds me of some creepy cult.
this is a valuable, rare, and sought-after collection.
i'd like to have a bath in peace.
the devil himself would struggle with you.
this place is crazy enough without your two cents.
what's all the noise about?
[ NAME ], help! what should i do?!
i'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
there was nothing you could do.
what's happened has happened.
do you trust your head, or your heart?
my advice, for what it's worth, is... to thine own self be true.
i'm not supposed to interfere.
what do you want me to do, [ NAME ]?!
calm down, genius, i already tried making a call.
hey, [ NAME ], how are you doing?
i don't remember being in any crash.
you're probably in mild shock.
i'm fine, thanks for asking.
think of it as a character building exercise.
i've got no signal either, must be a dead spot.
ā and we've already concluded this conversation.
no need for a vote, decision's been made.
we really don't have time to be arguing.
try to be civil, it costs nothing.
try sticking up for yourself sometime.
i'm not wasting another breath on you.
the last thing we need is you causing trouble.
you wanna come along and wait with me?
i still think the smart move is to stick together.
how'd we end up back here?
there's a rational explanation for what's happening.
i'm doing my best to understand this, just like you.
we're trapped in a nightmare.
we have to get outta here right fucking now.
this isn't helping us find help!
there's nowhere else we can go except into that damn town.
i'm not sure this is such a great idea.
we're really going to get into this now?
i need to know 100% that i can rely on you.
we standing here all night or are we going inside?
life moves on, but we don't all go with it.
there's a phone, but it's been dead for years.
anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.
i saw someone in the woods.
nobody would be out here at this ungodly hour.
okay, very good, i'm freaked. who's there?
[ NAME ]? where are you? this isn't funny!
what treachery is this now, [ NAME ]?
[ NAME ], come back here!
how can you not have seen that?!
i'm just gonna say it ... this is exactly what goes down in horror movies.
what the hell do we do now?
i'll deal with this, you stay right here.
who are you? what are you doing here?
what the hell are you? what do you want?!
a black tongue full of riddles, i'll have none of it.
i am very far from okay ... i'm terrified and confused.
you're blowing this out of proportion, [ NAME ].
fuck that, i'm going another way.
don't you watch horror movies? you never, ever split up.
can we just take a breath and think about what our next move is?
it's not safe for you to be hanging out here on your own.
thanks for coming after me.
the hell are you doing with a gun?
what we don't need is to get someone killed.
make sure the damn thing stays in your pants.
that "terrifying creature" was, in, fact, a cat.
there must be a radio or a working phone inside.
gimme that, i'll smash the window.
if you're feeling under pressure, let someone else do it.
even if you make it, there's no way i'm following.
i might've made a bad call here.
woah, you can't be doing that!
tell me that didn't just happen.
get away or they'll find me!
let's not hang around here, it's time to go.
seriously? you're going in there?
i don't like the idea of being out here on my own.
i'll be as fast as i can, okay?
[ NAME ], the door won't open.
can you stop reacting to every setback like a child?
we'll find a way out of here. we have to.
i appreciate you checking in with me.
who would want land in this godforsaken town?
tell me that didn't just happen.
who would say such a thing?
you look freaked, what's up?
you saw something else, right?
we're really screwed up, here.
can you tell me what you're upset about?
what's going on with you?
i'm going to help you out here if i can, but i need to know your name.
you cannot talk of our secret.
we have an understanding, do we not?
what more proof is needed that the devil walks among us?
the devil is here in this very room.
what the hell was that shit? was that for real?
like i say, i have no good explanation.
when you first told me, i thought you were messing with me.
let's try to force the handle.
still think splitting up was the right move?
personally, i think we're in deep shit here.
maybe the answer lies down the one path we haven't taken yet.
this is fucking crazy, we have no clue what we're getting ourselves into.
[ NAME ], you need to see this.
we were never meant to make it out of here.
you keep saying you're in charge, so... you first.
you ever have any family here?
it's already been a hell of a night, but i'm sure we'll pull through.
you don't know that it's safe.
i do not deserve death, i beg you!
who are you ? and how come you look just like [ NAME ]?
the devil is in the wind, seeking to help his own.
[ NAME ], let us conclude our business here swiftly.
[ LOCATION ] is already lost, shrouded in evil!
the devil takes many forms, you know that better than any!
while [ NAME ] still draws breath, [ LOCATION ] is beyond salvation.
i don't know how to tell you what i just saw.
give me a moment, will you? i've just gone through something pretty rough.
i'm coming back for you, [ NAME ]! hold on!
reach out and grab my hand!
that was really quite close.
not that there's anything particularly wrong with death.
that gun might prove to be a lifesaver. or the precise opposite.
this must be very confusing for you right now.
i dare say we'll find out, hmm?
what in the name of holy fuck was that?
it was like something from a nightmare, did you see how it looked?
whatever that thing was, it's gone now.
you are going to tell me right now what happened.
let's ... stay away from that.
i'm all for putting as much distance between us and that hideous thing as possible.
can't a guy get some peace around here?
i don't think there is another way.
[ LOCATION ] isn't a place i want to revisit.
i'm taking this to protect you.
why can't you leave me alone?
it could be leading us into danger, even a trap!
stay close ... who knows what's up ahead.
what did they do to deserve that?
it's just you and me now.
