"I read your article." "Article?" "More like a blurt if you ask me." " It was well written." " Spare me your sympathy Marcus." "Come on Carmen." "How long you gonna be bitter about your work." "It's bullshit." "I write one Controversial article and I'm pushed down to the bottom of the food chain." "You probably shoulda left it alone, you knew it was gonna get you in trouble." "Can we just stop talking about this please?" "Okay, well what do you want to talk about?" "Maybe the fact that half the time you spend with me, your typing on the phone?" "Or that you break our plans after we make them?" "Cos I'm good with either wheres this coming from?" "Forget about it, I'm gonna get going." "No!" "Seriously, what is this." "You think that this is fun for me?" "It seems like every time we hang out, your mind is somewhere else." "I am swamped with work right now marcus, you know that." "Yeah so am I, but I turn it off when I'm with you." " You gotta give a little." " Oh so now I'm selfish?" " Yeah, kinda." " Ok, I think that's enough." "Yeah, I think it is, I'm outa here." "Marcus..." " Bees?" " Yeah, bees." "A farmer in orchid meadow, Omaha claims that none of the bees do not return to the hive, and only 20% of the crop is being pollinated." "Why don't we try something else" "I've got a lead on the Eric Taylor case." "Look." "A young man goes backpacking across Europe and goes missing, it happens all the time." "Its a dead case." "No, there's more to it than that." "He was last seen leaving a motel in Kozki, Poland." "And Sara and I have been doing some research." "We found record of 5 tourists who have gone missing in the last 50 years, while traveling through the exact same area." "Carmen, how many times do I have to tell you?" "Just listen okay?" "The strange thing is that shortly after they disappear... their luggage shows up at random cities all over eastern Europe." "Now I spoke to Laura Taylor, Eric's mom ... she recently received a call from prague airport, saying they had erics luggage." "There's no record of him ever entering the Czech Republic." "That doesn't sound like fresh concrete evidence to me." "Have you ever been to an airport?" "Luggage gets lost all the time." "Not interested." "And Carmen" "I do not want you and Sarah wasting company time, with this missing person stuff." "Are we clear?" " Hello." " Hi Mrs. Taylor." " I'm Carmen Berk." " Carmen, it's so nice to finally meet you, please, call me Laura." "This is Sara Titasal, she is an intern at our company." " Hello Laura." " It's a pleasure, please come in." "Eric had been planning his trip for over a year." "He was.. never much into school." "He always just wanted to travel." "And where are the police with this now?" "Its an absolute joke." "I contacted the Kozki police, they say they found nothing." "I contacted the police here ... and after waiting days for them to get back to me... they call and tell me that Eric is now officially on a missing persons list." "And that his case has been moved to a different department." "You mentioned you've been contacted about erics luggage, have you been able to claim it yet?" "Yes, it's upstairs in his room." "All his clothes are there, his books, his journal, his hotel receipts." "Did you tell the police that?" "I mean, there could be evidence." "Yes of course, I called them right away." "They told me that they were too backed up to come." "That they would get to it, when they could." "Would it be ok if I take a look at Eric's luggage?" "There could be something that may help us." "Yes, of course, please." "Will you forgive me if I don't escort you up?" " I find it difficult to be in that room." " I understand." " Thank you." "It's upstairs on the right." " I'll make some tea." " I'll help you." "That was Eric and his cousin, when they decided they wanted to get tattoos." "I told them they were crazy, but ..." "Eric really wanted one." "Is this your husband?" "Yeah, that's my Jim." "He passed away five years ago." "I'm sorry." "It hurts Eric a lot." "Laura, can I borrow this for the time being?" "It's Eric's journal." "but I'd really love to spend some more time with it." "I don't see why not." "I don't imagine the police will want it any time soon." "Thank you for your time." "The last journal entry..." "Alvainia." "Leave me alone." "Look I hate fighting with you." "Well obviously we're fighting for a reason." "I know." "And I agree." "My head hasn't been in this relationship lately." "But I want to fix that." "which is why I think you should come on this trip with me." "I appreciate that." "But if we're going to take a trip together, why don't we go to the Cayman Islands or something?" "Because there is no story in the Cayman Islands." "Right...right." "Come on Marcus." "I think your a great photographer and I want you to shoot this." "Tell you what, I'll leave my BlackBerry in the hotel." "I do not know, Carmen it sounds a little dangerous." "Could be." "I'm not kidding." "I'm surprised that Dale would even allow this, this sounds like a police matter." "Yeah, well the police ain't doing shit." "I'm going no matter what." "I have to, I've already booked the tickets just think about it alright." "I gotta get back." "Here's the contact info for Carl Pierson, he's the farmer with the dying crops." "There's another farm house just east of him with the same problem." "These bees are literally just dying off." "Anyway." "He looks forward to meeting the two of you." "This should be a good experience for you Sarah." "Are you excited?" "Yeah..very excited." " Well." "Keep up the good work girls." "Rock and Roll." " Rock and Roll." "Marcus." "Yeah?" "Okay, great." "Oh no, we should have everything prep soon." "No we'll break up the details later." "I'm really glad your doing this." "Okay talk to you soon." "Bye." "Okay, we're good to go." "Marcus is gonna shoot for us." "Listen, I want you to start checking out motels in Poland." "Start with the one Eric was staying at in Kozki." "Alright." "I can not believe we're doing this." " We're gonna have to start brushing up on our Polish." " Already a step ahead of you." "So, what else we know about this place." "Not much." "They make their own clothes, they grow their own food." "Apparently the lands known for growing mushrooms." "It doesn't look like Eric was in Alvainia for very long, there's only a few journal entries." "Hey listen to this one." "There's something odd about this village, the people seem very odd and distant." "There are no motels or hostels, so I'm roughing it in an old barn." "I've noticed some kind of smoke looming above the tree line on the outer edge of the village." "I thought it was a fire at first, but it actually seems to be more like a fog, just sitting there." "Was this kid eating the mushrooms by any chance?" "That must be the turn up ahead." "Well..." "I guess we're here." "Pull over here, well walk." "Eric wasn't kidding about this place." "Oh my God, that's sick." "Come on, he's just a farmer." "Need I remind you where hot dogs come from?" "You said they teach English at school here right?" "Yeah that's what I read." "Hi there." "Those are beautiful." "Do you speak English?" "Yes.." "little." "My name is Carmen, that's marcus, and sarah." "What's your name?" "Lidia." "Lidia, that's a very pretty name." "Thank you." "We are journalists from America." "Do you know America?" "Yes, cheeseburgers." "Yes, cheeseburgers." "Have you ever traveled outside Alvainia, Lidia?" "No, not allowed." "That's too bad." "Do you like it here?" "No?" "How come?" "Listen Lidia, we're looking for a young man, his names Eric Taylor, have you seen him?" "You have to go." "Have you seen this man Lidia?" "Let's keep moving." "Is this town Christian?" "I do not know, it seems really strange tho." "Look at that guy, they're treating him like royalty." "Holy shit.." "Speaking of strange." "That's it, that's gotta be what Eric was talking about." "Well how can that be?" "It's still here." "What the hell is it?" "I'm not sure, but it's the last thing he wrote about in his journal." "I say we check it out." "I don't understand how it can just be sitting there, in that one part of the forest?" "I can see why Eric was intrigued." " I'm sorry, do you speak English?" " You, go." "We are looking for someone, maybe you can help us." "Get your hands off me." "Hey!" "English yeah?" "You are English?" "So go to England." "Go." "Alright, we're going." "Relax." "There is nothing for you here English." "Pull over Marcus." "What?" "Why?" "Just pull over for a minute." "We have to go back." "What, are you kidding me?" "Those guys looked like they wanted to kill us." "They're hiding something up there in that forest." "No, they wanted us out of there the minute we got into town." "No, that guy followed us half way round the village it wasn't till we started walking towards the fog that he came after us." "That was the one place they wouldn't let us go and the last place Eric may have been." "You don't think that's a major coincidence?" "Carmen, we can't." "We have to." "Why?" "Because if we don't.. my career is done." "Dale does not even know we're here, he thinks we are in Omaha covering some bullshit story." "If I go back empty handed" "I'm finished." "Are you fuckin' serious?" "You never got a go ahead?" "Wait..." "You didn't tell him?" "Hold on a sec... you knew about this too?" "Look, they're hiding something up there in those trees and I want to find out what it is." "We came all this way, we can't just turn back now." "Please Marcus, I need this." "We check it out and that's it." "Okay." "You should have known better, than to get her mixed up in this." "She wanted to be here." "She's not your kid." "It should be straight ahead from here, I'm pretty sure the church is off that way." "Yeah this feels right." "This is so strange." "Hows it not moving?" "It's so dense." " It's too dense." " What do you mean." "I can take a photo of what ever this is from here, but there's no way I can get a decent shot it's so foggy." " Let's head in, check it out." " What difference does it make Carmen?" "We can't shoot what we can't see." "We didn't come all the way up here so we could take a picture of some cloud sitting in a forrest marcus not exactly the story I'm looking for." "Yeah." "Well the story your looking for is gonna get us caught." "Oh my god, would you stop worrying, no one even knows we're here." "Yeah, no one in the whole fuckin' world knows we're here." "Jesus Carmen." "Okay what the hell Where is she?" "I don't know, but we should definitely be getting the fuck out of here." "We're not just gonna leave her here Marcus." "I didn't say that." "Alright, wait here, I'll go see what's going on." "Hold on." "I'll go check it out." "No Marcus" "I brought us here." "I'll go." "Be careful." "What happened?" " Where is Carmen?" " She is looking for you." "Carmen, she's here." "Carmen..are you alright are you hurt?" "Hey..are you hurt?" "No, I'm alright." "We should go." "What did you see?" "I saw a statue." "Yeah, I saw it too." "Let's talk about this on the way back to the car." "Carmen, leave it alone." "Let's just go." "Lidia, what are you doing here?" "I know where your friend is." "You know where Eric Taylor is?" "Yes" " I show you Come, follow." "I really think that we need to get out of here." "We going." "Come on." "In there." "In here." "Oh my God." "Jesus." "Ok guys, Eric has to be in one of these." "Here gimme a hand." "Its Eric." "Yeah that's not coming off." "It feels like its attached in the centre somewhere." "That symbol, it's the same one from the church." "Lidia, what have they done to him, why's he wearing..." "She's gone." " She locked us in." " What?" "Why would she do that?" "Probably cos it was part of her fucking plan Carmen." "Well can you get us out?" "There's somebody down here." " I got it, come on." " Let's go." " We should go." " Yeah no shit, but where's the car from here?" "Lets head back this way." " Hey, you ok?" " Yeah." "There was a bit of path up here, we just gotta find it." "Wait, stop." "Oh fuck!" "..." "Let's go." "Come on." "Wait...wait, Marcus hold on." "We cant stop here." "Where are we even going?" " I don't know, but not here." " Can you run?" "... in a sec we cant stay out in the open come on, go to that barn come on!" "Come on, get inside." "Can you see them?" "Marcus?" "No." "Just keep quiet." "We never should have come here carmen." "This whole fucking thing was a mistake" "I'm sorry." "This is all my fault, I shouldn't have been so selfish." "I just wanted a good story." "Please Marcus please, I'm so sorry for everything." "Oh my God." "Let's get out of here." "Go Sarah...hurry" "Come on." "Wait here." "Sara, I'm right here." "What have you done?" "Marcus Wait." "No, no, no, we have to keep moving." "Do not touch me." "We need a car." "We're gonna go to that farmhouse." "We're gonna get a vehicle." "And where gonna get the hell out of here you don't have to run any more ok?" "Lets go." "Come on." "I have to get the keys, I'm gonna go inside... you wait here." "No, I'm comin' with you." "Stay behind me." "I'm not gonna hurt you" "I need your truck, I need the keys to the truck." "Calm down, we just need your keys." "I don't wanna hurt anyone you just give us the keys, and we will leave" "the keys, where are they?" "Relax." "Don't move." "Who else is in the house?" "Shut up." "In the other room...now !" "English, you speak English?" "He say you must leave." " Where are the keys to the truck?" " I do not know." "Ask your father where they are, or I'm gonna pull this trigger." "He needs to tell me now I am not fucking kidding" "The kitchen, there in the kitchen." "Come, I'll show you." "Alright, let's go." "I'm sorry, but I have to." "Please, the woman, she is evil, she has seen the statue, please." "Are you alright?" "I have tasted the blood and flesh of fallen angels." "There is no redemption." "Your men are weak." "Help me Marcus." "He will take you where you need to go." "What is it up there?" "in the trees" "this is curse left here on our land from long ago." "It can not be undone."
