"And what we do, hmm?" "We kill phone freaks." "Yeah, yeah, we kill them." "Just like you." "DENISE:" "The second time in Nashua, we used dynamite from a construction site shed." "Ray knew how to rig the dynamite from when he worked on a road crew." "RAY:" "That's when we started seeing those Kashwak No-Fo signs." "DENISE:" "Kashwak." "They're telling people it's a no-phone zone, but that's a lie." "The area got an Indian casino built there last year and put up a cell phone tower." "The phoners are trying to draw us there in our dreams, but it's a trap." "RAY:" "Yeah, and the dreams started coming after we blasted." "I mean, we blasted." "That first flock, we blasted them." " Powerful dreams." "Powerful dreams, like..." " TOM:" "We've had them." "RAY:" "Always that phoner." "The phoner in the red hoodie." "They call him the President of the Internet." "Got to be taken down." "I mean down." "Like, down, like... like right there." "We've got to take him all the way down." "You know what I'm saying?" "You take him all the way down." "If you kill him... you kill him... you put him in here, the rest will..." "they'll surrender." "They'll quit." "They'll stop." "Just... poof." "But it's not gonna be easy." "Know why?" "Know why?" "'Cause they get inside of people's minds." "They get inside of people's minds." " They get inside your mind, Ray?" " No, nothing in my mind." "Because I stay up, hmm?" "I've been awake, what, four, five, six..." " six days now?" " CLAY:" "That's great." "She sleeps in there, I'm out here guarding." "I'll pace all night." "I'll be all over this park." "Mary had a little lamb." "She's my Mary." " Aw." " It's not my kid." "Not my kid." "RAY:" "But she's my Mary." "I'm looking after her." "That's great." "Sounds like you guys are in a good place." "Oh, yeah." "But you know what?" "We can resist as long as we stay awake." "Staying awake is key." "We just stay away from the flocks." "How you plan on doing that?" "RAY:" "Oh, we got ourselves a canary in a coal mine, my friend." "Hey, Denise, you want to show them and I'll finish cooking the burgers with your son?" "DENISE:" "My brother's doing more to help me out now than he ever did when he was human." "I still hate to see him like this." " He's a phoner?" " Yup." "Yeah." "He's like a little calf that broke off from the herd and got lost." "On its own, he's nothing." "He just sits here and waits for them to come back and find it or else he dies." "God, he hasn't been eating." "Come on, don't do this to me." "If a flock passes within a mile or so, he starts coming to and acting up." "The closer they are, the crazier he gets." "That's why we got him covered up." "We don't want him showing them where we are and bringing them down on us." "(SIGHS) Come on, don't do this to me." "(SIGHS)" "Sometimes I think he can still recognize my voice." " You think they can be rehabbed?" " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "JOHNNY'S VOICE:" "Are you coming home?" "Are you coming home?" "TOM:" "What the hell's going on?" "I have no idea." "He never said anything before." "(JOHNNY'S VOICE CONTINUES)" "JOHNNY:" "I just want you to come home." " That's Johnny's voice." " No, it's not." "I just want you to come home." "TOM:" "Do not listen to that shit." "You know that is not your son." " Clay, no!" " Hi, Dad." " (GUNSHOT)" " DENISE:" "No!" "No!" "No!" "TOM:" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "He saw us, that means they saw us." " He'll lead the rest of them to us." "Come on." " RAY:" "Hey, we all need to go now." " TOM:" "Come on." " RAY:" "Everybody to the truck." "Clay, come on." "(ENGINE STOPS)" "Why are we stopping, Ray?" "RAY:" "No, it's too late for me." "It's too late for me because they're in my head." "First it was in my dreams, but now I'm seeing stuff when I'm awake." "Things that aren't there. (SCREAMS)" "You haven't slept for a week." "Maybe you were hallucinating." "I'm hallucinating because that asshole in the red hoodie is putting thoughts in my mind." "And what the Prez wants, he's not gonna get because you're not gonna let him." "They thought it was me, but it wasn't me." "It wasn't me, it's you." "He was wrong." " You're the man, my artist." "You are it." " What's that around your neck, Ray?" "I don't like it that you're holding on to your kid because your kid is done." "You know it in your heart that your kid is toast." "Your kid is toast." "No, I don't." "I don't know that." "(GROANS)" "Oh!" "Here." "Here." "I'm passing the torch." "I'm passing it on to you." "When the time comes, call the number on the slip." "You'll know the time." " I hope you know the time." " What time is that, Ray?" "The end of the road time." "The end of the road." "Mmm." "No other options." "Ray, what's that around your neck?" "(SIGHS)" "(GROANS)" " This, my friend, this is gonna..." " Ray." "This is gonna blow my mind." "You better step away, my friend." " Hold on." " Step away, Clay!" "(SOBBING, SCREAMS)" " (EXPLOSION ECHOING) - (BIRDS CAWING)" " Stay here." "I'll be back." " No, no, no, no." "I'm going with you." "No, no, no." "Just stay with them." "I've got to do this alone." "Johnny!" "Sharon!" "(SIGHS)" "(INHALES)" "(SNIFFLES)" "(BREATHING HEAVILY)" "(CREAKING)" "(CREAKING)" "(RATTLING)" "(DOOR CREAKS)" "(SHRIEKING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(CLAY GROANING)" "Get off." " Get off." " (SHRIEKING)" "(TOM CHOKING)" "(GASPING)" "Fucker!" "(COUGHING)" "(GASPING)" "(BREATHING HEAVILY)" "Is that..." "Yeah." "So what you got there?" "That?" "Ray gave that to me." "Right before he blew his head off." "He told me to call the number when the time came." " When the time came?" " Uh-huh." " When's that?" " Last stop." "End of the line." "That's what he said?" "That's what he said." "Hmm." "Seemed like a reasonable man." " Did you know there was a bomb in here?" " No, or I wouldn't have ridden in it." "So did Ray tell you this thing was full of C-4?" "There's enough plastique in there to blow up this whole fucking block." " DENISE:" "Oh, my God." " Here, this is Sharon's wagon." "It's in the garage." "I'm going to Kashwak." "Are you out of your mind?" " Did you not hear what Denise said?" " It's a trap." "We've been through this." "Maybe." "Come on, man." "If you're going there, you're not coming out." "It's a suicide mission." "You're gonna die." "I got to find my kid." "I got to know one way or the other." "Oh, Goddamn." "Take this." "I want you to spray paint T, J and D for Tom, Jordan, and Denise on the side of the road every couple miles." "If you go off-road, dirt road, put it up on a tree." "Always on the left-hand side of the road 'cause that's where I'll be looking." "Look, don't go." "It's stupid." "You're gonna die." "Hey." "You remember the story of Orpheus, buddy?" "Orpheus traveled to the underworld to find his loved one, bring them back to Earth." " You're not Orpheus." " Take care of yourself, brother." "Be right behind you." "All right?" "Take care of Tom." "You're about the best friend anybody could ever have at the end of the world." "Yeah, let's hope it's not quite the end." "Good knowing you, Clay Riddell." "Good to know you, Tom McCourt." " Take care." " (SCOFFS)" "JORDAN:" "You better find us." "Sorry about your wife." "Kashwak, please!" "Please help us!" "Please!" "Take us with you!" "(ENGINE REVVING)" "(STATIC HISSING)" "(LAUGHS)" "(DISTORTED MUMBLING)" "(LAUGHS)" "(GUNSHOTS)" "JOHNNY'S VOICE: (ECHOING) Hi, Dad." "Hi, Dad." "(ECHOING) Johnny!" "(JOHNNY'S VOICE CONTINUES ECHOING)" " I just want you to come home." " (VOICES OVERLAPPING)" "CLAY:" "Johnny!" "Johnny!" "(HIGH-PITCHED WARBLING)" "Johnny!" "(PANTING)" "(PHONERS HOWLING)" "(SCREECHING)" " Look, Dad, there's another." " Mm-hmm." "I'm so glad you get to meet my friends, Johnny." " JOHNNY:" "Are they gonna be my friends, too?" " You bet."
