"He did it deliberately to destroy me." "Well, I guess he had his reasons." "I got close to the Clarkes." "I wanted to know more about the younger boy--Jacob." "I was bringing him back to the ranch when it happened." "He was a strange boy." "He was gentle, and he was withdrawn." "When I looked in this boy's eyes, Sam, what I saw-- what I saw there was all my memories and all my fears." "More than that, I saw them add up." "Do you understand?" "I saw my own death, Sam." "I saw how I would die." "Maybe it was a moment of guilt." "You know, maybe what you saw..." "Is what you know you deserve." "Well, there's your story, son." "Your big scoop."

"DR POWELL:" "They walk among us in many shapes, and their ways are not always what we would hope." "So to understand that which is not you, you must become that other thing." "My grandmother said, "Walk a mile in another man's shoes."" "That is the greatest secret to shape-shifting." "So it's not about the disguise, it's about knowledge." "You guys really gonna leave in the morning?" "Well, we really don't have much of a choice." "It was a good dig, sir." "Even without the body, you've done some important work here." "We were only just getting started." "Yeah." "Nature call." " Not very subtle, are they?" " Nah." "You really wanna look at the writing on the wall?" "Yeah." " Let's go." " Daryl, you wanna join us?" " Okay." "You sure you wanna do this?" "I'm not a virgin, if that's what you mean." "I'm not talking about that." "I'm saying, you sure you wanna wander into the deep, dark woods when there's something out there?" "What do you think happened?" "Tana leaves." "The curse." "He's been revived." "He's coming for you, Sarah." "Cut it out." "That's not funny." "(kissing)" "Dr Powell, is the raven considered a trickster or a shape-shifter?" "Daryl, are you looking for a grade here, or do you really want to know?" "A little bit of both." "All right." "Fair enough." "Trickster is both good and bad." "He brings man knowledge of the universe as it is." " Do you understand that?" " Yeah." "Okay, so Jack Tales and Loki and Daffy Duck are all examples of trickster gods." "What could be trickier than shape-shifting?" "Right." "Like when Daffy pretended to be a skunk." "That was Sylvester, and he spilled paint on his back, but, yeah, you get the point." "Wow." "You sure that wasn't Daffy?" "Because the duck, he's always getting into something." "I get the feeling this all means something to you." "(Sarah screams)" "Stay here and watch our stuff." "Where are they?" "Let's check up here." "You want to get that light out of my face?" "Sorry." " These two belong to you?" " Yeah." "You okay?" "She's fine, but if you're gonna be so jumpy you scream in the face of every old man you meet, you shouldn't be walking in the woods in the middle of the night." "Trickster." "The trickster."

"So his disappearance is not my problem." " What do you mean, not your problem?" " Who are you?" "I'm Sam Crawford." "I'm a reporter." "I'm doing a story on the dig." "Not anymore, you're not." "Look, sheriff, last night, there was an old man prowling the woods with a shotgun." "One of my students has disappeared, and you're not going to do anything?" "Tell you what--you file a report..."

"Well, we'll just add that to the list." "The list of things you're gonna explain to me someday." "You like it, being a nurse?" "I was in college." "I knew everything that was wrong with the world." "I wasn't doing one little thing to make it better." "What about you?" "Did you always want to be a soldier?" "I always figured I'd be a mechanic, like my dad." " What happened?" " We're different in that way." "I stopped thinking I could fix things." "(horn honking)" "WOMAN:" "Look out!" "You okay, buddy?" "Steve, you little idiot!" "What were you doing?" "Why don't you think?" "Ma'am, I think he's scared enough." " Thank you." " Yeah." " You okay?" " Yeah." "You're very brave." "No, I'm not." "It's not brave when you know nothing can hurt you." "What do you mean?" "Someone's watching over you?" "You got a guardian angel or something?" "Or something." "Is that what happened in Vietnam, Jesse?" "You thought you couldn't get hurt?" "No." "I knew I couldn't get hurt." "We were in the Quang Ngai province, and... we walked into a trap." "Knowing what I knew, knowing that I was safe..." "I should've been able to do more."

"(twig cracks)" "(whistle blows)" "DR POWELL:" "Aahhh!" "(gunshots)" "(sobbing and whimpering)" "You take care of the problem?" "Yeah." "He'd just gotten to Powell when I came on him." "I shot him twice." "No body?" "There was blood all over." "I figured he'd crawled away to die." "You figure, or you hope?" "Come on, doc." "I told you, I shot him twice." "You didn't want to make sure, just in case you were wrong?" "What are you looking at, old man?" "You ain't helping, creeping around the woods." "You're damn lucky you're still alive!" "I need some help!" "Somebody help me, please." "It's okay." "Shock." "Nothing more." "She probably won't remember a thing." "Well, let's hope not." "What's going on here, sheriff?" "What paper did you say you worked for again?" "Well...it's a college newspaper." "Uh-huh." "Well... next time an officer of the law makes a suggestion to you, like "Go Away," for example, you should think about listening." "If I see you again," "I'm gonna drive you out into the woods, and I am gonna shoot you." "Go away." "SARAH:" "His eyes..." "He came through the burial chamber..." "His eyes... oh, God." "His eyes." "(twig cracks)" "You're all right." "When I found you, I thought you might be dead." "Then I noticed you were still breathing, so I..." "I dragged you in here to keep you out of the elements and such." "Who the hell are you?" "My name's Leo." "My daughter's name was Nadine." "She would've been 40 this year." "We got the northern lights up here, but in 1 958, there was something in the sky that wasn't any aurora borealis." "There were these lights in the sky...dancing, moving in ways you wouldn't believe, coming down out of the sky and disappearing into the woods." "My Nadine went walking in there, trying to see what they were." "She came back a day and a half later, no idea where she'd been, no idea what had happened to her." "It was about four months after that she started to show." "The twins were born in early '59." "The pregnancy was hard, real hard, and the birth killed her." "I was Nadine's only family, so I took the boys." "I named 'em Larry and Lester." "They were all wrong, those boys, right from the start, but it wasn't just that." "It was how they looked and what they could do." "They could peer inside a fellow, even when they were small." "When I looked in this boy's eyes. what I saw... what I saw there was all my memories and all my fears." "After a little while, it got too hard for us to stay in town." "Folks just didn't want them around, so... we went out into the woods, stayed in this cabin my father had built for hunting trips" "How much did you tell him, Leo?" "Well, doesn't really matter." "We're gonna take that drive I promised you." "(thunder)" "(hums)" "You killed one of the twins, didn't you?" "You killed him, you wrapped him up and stuck him in that chamber." "Larry." "He was the worst of the two." "Took to trying out his abilities when he was 1 6 years old." "Leo mention that?" "Hmm?" "All the dead dogs and cattle?" "Things he did to them hunters in the woods." "This town makes its living off of hunting season." "Close to ten years, couldn't pay folks to go in our woods." "Leo wouldn't go near that cabin himself." "It's my job to keep this town safe for everybody." "That boy was a menace." "I went up there to try to talk some sense into him." "Anyway, I didn't wrap him up." "I buried him under a tree." "How he wound up in that burial pit, wrapped up like that..." "I got some ideas." "Come on!" "Get after him!" "KERBY:" "Damn it!" "Where'd he go?" "This way." "Come on." "(gasps)" "Can you come with me?" "Lester?" "MAN:" "It's the sheriff." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Louise, what the hell is going on?" "We're going in after him, Kerby." "My daughter's still missing, and we know who's responsible." "All right, let's go." "(shouting)" "Over here." "She's hurt bad." "Must have tried to climb a tree to see where she was, and she fell." "Her leg's broke in a couple of places." "I sneak up when she's asleep, leave her food and water, but I can't get her into town." "I'm afraid she'll look at me." "What happens when people look at you?" "I don't know, exactly." "When my brother and I were kids... we used to just scare folks, mostly." "I think people look at us, they see too much." "All their memories." "All their fears." "I guess you could say." "Why'd you wrap your brother up like that?" "My brother and I...sometimes... we would draw in this weird language." "We never knew what it meant, but it looked kind of like in books and stuff about ancient Egypt." "Yes." "I knew it was important, like...maybe magic or something." "I thought maybe if I..." "wrapped him up like that, put him somewhere special with that writing all around him..." "Maybe he'd come back to life." "Kind of foolish, huh?" "No." "No, Lester, I don't think that's foolish at all." "I think you loved your brother very much." "I never meant to hurt any of those people who dug up the grave." "I was trying to get help for the girl." "I know." "My, uh..." "Whatever it is I do to people..." "I guess it got stronger after Larry died." "I really never meant for anyone to get hurt." "(groans)" "You're hurt, too." "I gotta get you both to a doctor." "Just worry about the little girl." "Hi." "Hi." "Are you the one who's been bringing me food?" "No, sweetheart." "I'm not." "Is that him over there?" "I wanna say thanks." "His name's Lester." "You can thank him later, okay?" "Right now, I'm gonna have to pick you up, but it might hurt a little, so can you be brave?" "(mob shouting)" "Hey, stop!" "The little girl's here!" "She's all right!" "Stop!" "Stop pouring the gas!" "We're coming out!" "Come on, sweetie." "It's okay." "Come on." "All right." "Mister?" "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Oh, God." "Baby." "Oh, my God." "Baby, did he do this to you?" "No, mummy." "I fell out of a tree." "Get her back to the car, Louise." "We're gonna finish this once and for all." "Why don't you let me take it from here?" "Eric." "What are you doing here?" "You're not a hard man to follow, Sam." "From everything the sheriff and Dr Shilling have told me, you've got something important to the project-- some sort of half-breed or something." "That's why you're here?" "I'm here to keep you from doing anything unfortunate." "The sheriff says you've been uncooperative." "Look, there's nothing here for you." "I think I'd like to see for myself." "Eric, you can't go in there." "You're going to stop me?" "You could be killed." "You care about me, Sam." "I'm touched." "He's right, son." "You don't want to go in there." " Eric, no." " Get your hands off me!" "I'm not gonna let you take him!" "Lester don't want to hurt anybody." "Get out of here." "Step away from the porch, Leo." "Mummy, are they gonna hurt Lester?" "Hush, honey." "I let you people take my boys before, and look where it got me." "No, sir." "I'm not moving." "Well, suit yourself." "Come on!" "MAN:" "Get that gasoline on it." "Mummy, no!" "You want him now, little brother?" "He's all yours." "Lester, you gotta get out of here." "Larry didn't mean to hurt anyone, either." "They came out with cameras to take pictures of the freaks." "Larry just lost his temper." "We gotta go!" "What's the point?" "Where am I gonna go?" " We'll figure something out." " You better get out of here." "Lester, come on." "(Sam screaming)" "Oh, my goodness!" "(baby cooing)" "There you go." "Grandpa did that, didn't he?" "Yes, you're very cute." "Hi, Mary." "Come on." "Can you say "grandpa"?" "Can you say "grandpa"?" "She's only a week old." "Can't start indoctrinating them too soon." "Come on, Mary. "Grandpa."" "Come on. "Grandpa."" "I wish your brother Sam was here to see this." "Say "grandpa."" "Come on." "Julie, could you give dad and me a minute?" "Yeah." "I bring my baby over for you to see, you're still talking about Sam." "We haven't heard from him since he left." "We won't be hearing from him anymore." "Sam is dead." "What?" "He went out trying to find proof that would destroy you, and that proof killed him." "He died trying to bring you down." "He hated you that much." "You never told me any of the things you told Sam." "I would never have broken your trust, and you never once gave it to me." "This... is this what you saw when you saw your own death?" "(screaming)" "(heart beating rapidly)" "No!" "Aah!" "A stroke, right?" "A massive explosion." ""Pop" goes the brain stem." "That's why you always hated me." "I scared you." "You knew I was the last thing you'd ever see." "Kind of funny, isn't it?" "If you'd been a little kinder, showed a little more interest, this might not have happened." "Knowing what you know-- that's what brought us here." "So, how does it end, Dad?" "Are you trapped in there?" "Stuck inside your head a while longer before the lights finally all go out?" "I always loved you better." "You know that." "You wet yourself." "Marry me." "That goes in the kitchen." "Master bedroom, please." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Shut the door on your way out." "OWEN:" "Eric." "I guess I was wrong about you." "Good luck and Godspeed." "Dad."
