[VEHICLE APPROACHING] Whoa. Oh, my gosh. NATALIE: Babe, this is amazing. Babe, this is amazing. [NATALIE EXCLAIMS] [SHE GROWLS] [BOTH LAUGHING] -TYLER: Ah.
-What's taking you so long? Just packing up the bags. -So, where are we going?
-Uh, so... I mean,
I think we're right here. -Okay.
-We want to take this trail, which is this guy right here. -Okay.
-Gonna take it down a couple miles, and see
how it hooks right here? -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-And it ends? Okay, I want to get to here, where this meadow is
by this lake. Okay? So, I think
when we get there, we'll figure it out, you know. -Off the trail. Off the grid.
-Yeah, off the trail. It's only fun if no one has
ever been there before. -Is it safe?
-Of course, it's safe. We'll figure it
out when we get there. -Trust me.
-Okay. Would I let anything
happen to you? All right, let's go. Watch your hair. -Thank you, soldier.
-How's it feel? Oh, at ease. [NATALIE CHUCKLES] -NATALIE: One, two, three.
-[TYLER LAUGHS] -NATALIE: Which way, here?
-I think we should-- Yeah, this looks like
a little trail right here. -NATALIE: Oh!
-TYLER: Hey! [BOTH LAUGH] -Now close this.
-Close. TYLER: And just reel in. But hold it more up here,
you know, like balance it. NATALIE: Oh. TYLER: Yeah. You're my good luck charm. -NATALIE: Mm-hmm?
-TYLER: Mm-hmm. [WATER FLOWING] You've gotta see this. -[NATALIE GASPS]
-Wow. NATALIE: Oh. Oh, my God. -Oh, my God.
-Off the grid. Whoa. This is amazing. This is so beautiful. Worth the bushwhacking. -Oh, my God. This is amazing.
-Am I right? This is so... gorgeous. I'm sorry I was gone so long. I forgive you... but that's the last time. You're not allowed
to leave again. Okay. NATALIE: Seriously, though. This view right here,
cannot get any better. Right? It cannot get any better. Stop. Are you serious right now? Wait, are you serious right now? -Will you be my wife?
-[NATALIE GASPS] Yes. Oh, my God. It's so beautiful. [CRIES] [SNIFFLES] It's perfect. -Whoa!
-[NATALIE LAUGHS] -I love you. I love you.
-I love you. My mom's gonna freak out.
[CHUCKLES] She's gonna crap. [NATALIE HUMMING] NATALIE:<i> You cannot pee right
there. You're so embarrassing!</i> NATALIE: You are!
I cannot believe you right now! TYLER: I can't believe
you're taking a -picture of me peeing.
-NATALIE: Oh, you are sick! -[TYLER LAUGHS]
-Go in, like, somewhere where people
can't see you. So embarrassing! TYLER: Who's out here? [BELL RINGING] You are such a dork. -But you love me.
-[NATALIE LAUGHING] It's beautiful, huh?
Look at the stars. It's way clearer out here. -[NATALIE GIGGLES]
-It's not even done. -It's fully raw.
-Why did you put it in my face? No fair. I wasted a whole marshmallow
that wasn't cooked. -And you had to eat it, too.
-Oh, come on. This is the life. A man could get used to this. I cannot believe
how good you did. It's so good. [CHUCKLES] -It is nice.
-It's perfect. Natalie Laird. -Nat-- Hello, Mrs. Laird.
-[NATALIE LAUGHS] -Oh, my God, Mrs. Laird.
-Yeah, get used to it. NATALIE: [LAUGHS] Mrs. Laird. [NATALIE KISSES] Oh, God. You make me happy. NATALIE: You make me happy. Well, you deserved it for a long time. I missed you so much. I missed you. Every day that you were gone... and I never heard from you... I just kept thinking
I was gonna get a call. And the hardest part was knowing that I wasn't the one
who was gonna get a flag. I promise,
I'll never leave you again. -You promise?
-Promise. [KNOCK ON WOOD] What are you doing? There's some kind of knocking
going on out there. What do you
mean knocking? Like, like someone's rapping
on a door. We're in the woods.
There's no doors. [KNOCK ON WOOD] See? -What is that?
-[KNOCK ON WOOD] It's definitely something
out there. What are you gonna do? Nothing. We're in the woods,
baby. There's stuff everywhere. [KNOCK ON WOOD] See? [SCOFFS] It's gone. [WHISPERS] Go back to sleep. [CREATURE GROWLING] What was that? I don't know. Just a deer, or an elk,
or something. That was not a deer or an elk. I don't know. -Could be a bear.
-A bear? Are you serious? It's fine, baby.
I promise, I'll protect you. -Go to sleep.
-[NATALIE SCOFFS] If we get eaten,
I'm gonna kill you. [WHINES] I don't like it. [BELL RINGING] Tyler? -[WHISPERS] What was that?
-Shh. [BELL RINGING] What are you doing? TYLER: Just gonna go
out and look. Well, you said it was a bear.
Are you gonna go look at a bear? I said it might be a bear. Tyler, don't go out there. [WHISPERS] Tyler, what are you-- Maybe someone's screwing
with us. Just... Baby, it's fine.
I'll be right back. Tyler. It's me. It's okay. I'm gonna go
take a look. It's okay. TYLER: Just stay here. [ZIPPER UNZIPPING] [SIGHS] NATALIE:<i> Tyler?</i> -[BELL RINGING]
-It's okay, baby. It's just me. Looks like a branch
fell on the line. That's why we heard the ring. NATALIE:<i> Are you coming back in?</i> Yeah, just give me a second. [BELL RINGING] [KNOCK ON WOOD] [NATALIE SIGHS] [KNOCK ON WOOD] [KNOCK ON WOOD] Ty? [GUN CLICKS] [GASPS] [OWL HOOTS] [NATALIE SCREAMS] -[CREATURE GROWLING]
-[TYLER PANTS] [SCREAMS] Natalie! Nat! Nat! Natalie! [CREATURE GROWLING] [BUZZER BUZZES] It's a big day
for you, Mr. Laird. Care to share your thoughts? I'm excited to go home. You've shown steady progress
here, over the last year. DR. WHEELER: Last week,
I recommended your release
based on that progress. Tell me I made
the right decision. It's not uncommon for a soldier
with your experience to want to take all the blame
when something
like that happens. Over this past year,
you've faced it all, Tyler. Hysteria, delusions,
nightmares. Survivor's guilt can ruin lives. I understand that now. What's your final conclusion
about what really happened
out there? It was a bear attack. And you accept that fully? Not a doubt in my mind. Well... Good luck to you, Mr. Laird. Try to find some happiness. And if you need anything at all,
don't hesitate to call me. Survivor's guilt. It implies somebody died. Correct. They haven't found
Natalie's body. NATALIE: [ECHOING]<i> Tyler?</i> <i> Ty? Is it safe?</i> TYLER:<i> Trust me.</i> TYLER: [SCREAMS]<i> Nat!</i> <i> Natalie!</i> <i> Nat!</i> RITA: Ty? Ty? TYLER: Mom. Let's go home, Son. -Thanks, Mom.
-Mm-hmm. You want to talk about it? I've been talking about it
for months, Mom. No matter what I say,
or how I say it... I just sound crazy. You don't, Ty. Nothing you've said,
sounds crazy. [SCOFFS SOFTLY] I just keep hearing
her screaming... over and over again. I can't shut it off. Oh, Ty. Those sounds will go
away with time. [SIGHS] The thing is, Mom,
I don't want them to go away. I want answers. I just want answers. Well, then, you've got
a decision to make... because you're at a crossroads. And whatever choice
you make right now is gonna shape
the rest of your life. Now, you can... put all of this behind you. You can try and accept what other people
are saying happened. That's not you, is it? That's not the man I raised. Or you can go
back out into those woods and find some answers... because I believe you, Ty. I believe that something horrible happened out there
that is unexplained. And if your father were here, and something
like this had happened... he wouldn't give
up until he knew. Do you remember, when you were six years old
and we painted all those -Easter eggs
and your dad hid them?
-[TYLER CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Yeah. And you found all of them. But that wasn't enough, was it? I needed to know
where the bunny was. Yeah, you sure did. And you searched everywhere.
In my garden, in my yard, -in the garage.
-Yeah. You were looking for answers.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] [CHUCKLES] I remember Dad
had to go buy a bunny just so I could find him. And even then... you wanted to actually see
how the bunny hid those eggs. You never stop looking
for answers, Ty. I love you, Mom. [SIGHS] I'm happy you're home, but... but I know you. The police dropped off a box, not long ago. It's got all the things that
they found at the campsite. Now, maybe there's something
in there that'll shed some light
on all of this. It's in the kitchen. [CAMERA CHIMES] [BUTTON CLICKING] [BIRDS CHIRPING] [ZIPPER ZIPS] [CAR DOOR CLOSES] [BIRDS CHIRPING] [CAR THUMPS] [CAR ROCKS] [ENGINE CRANKING] [CREATURE GROWLS] Car trouble, chief? Hey. You're all right now. You mind pointing
that somewhere else? -Who are you?
-Plenty of time for chitchat,
Chief. Just get that thing
out of my face. Come on. What the hell happened here? I don't know. What did you see? I saw something. Not sure what it was. He ripped my goddamn door
of the hinges. That could've been a bear. -A bear?
-Yeah. I've seen 'em do this in Alaska. Grizzly bears. Hey, my camp's about a mile this way. You look like you could
use a beer. I know I could. Let's go. Follow me. Come on, Chief. ELI: Here you go. I know you. Yeah. You were all over the tube
about a year ago. Caught it on the news. You know, people go missing
up here all the time, Chief. Plenty of rumors
flying around in these woods. Why are you out here? I'm pretty sure
hunting season is over. [SCOFFS] I ain't legal. I bag 'em and tag 'em,
when and where, I can find 'em. Nobody comes up here
and they... stay down in the valley
or at the Interpretive Center. They want to get
those views of the mountains. Besides,
this here is private property. I've seen the signs. -What's Xylon Incorporated?
-Hell if I know. But... in all the years
I've been out here, I ain't never seen a single person
from that company set one foot anywhere
in this area. Now that's enough to get
someone wondering. -Wonder what exactly?
-I have seen and heard some things. And I'm willing to bet that you
have seen and heard them too. Knocking in the night. Trees that look like some oversized cheese graters
gotten a hold of 'em. Stacked up rocks. The night my fiancée was taken, I heard the knocking. I saw some rocks. This morning
when you found me... something tore the hell
out of my truck. It wasn't a goddamn bear. [SCOFFS]
What exactly were you doing sleeping in your truck
way the hell out here? You tell me something. Now you say you're out here
doing some illegal hunting. People are going missing
left and right. You implying something, friend? I'm just trying to figure
out what makes a guy like you get out of bed in the morning. Truck your ass
out here in these woods. We both know
it's not the safest place to be. [SCOFFS]
This place ain't been safe since long before me
and mine, Chief. Come on. I wanna show you something. Not too much further from here,
Chief. ELI: Pops used to bring me
out here when I was a kid. Taught me how to hunt,
fish, camp. All them good things in life
that kids are robbed of in this current embarrassment
of a society. Pops would let us do
anything we want out here so long as we followed one rule: Never go beyond those. Chinook people put
these up hundreds of years ago. They run for miles
in both directions. What do they mean? If somebody put
something like that up, I'd call it a perimeter. TYLER: So, the Chinook, they didn't want anyone
going beyond this point? Or the wise, old bastards
didn't want something
getting out. There are plenty of stories
about things up here. Things not exactly friendly
to people, you know? You ever gone past them? Yeah. Once. This morning. But I don't think those things
mean that much anymore, anyway. Why is that? 'Cause when the mountain blew, I think it set
whatever's up here, free. You want to know
why I keep coming up here? I can deny curiosity all I want, but it eventually killed
the cat, know what I mean? Not really. I want to see it. See what? The big man. I don't believe in fairy tales. No? What took your girl, Chief? What woke you out of that
peaceful slumber this morning? I don't know, but I'm not leaving
here until I can answer
that question. Well, take comfort. It's probably watching
us right now. Well, I can't say
I've ever seen that before. I told ya.
It's always watching, Chief. Why the tree? Pretty obvious, ain't it? It don't like fire. [CREATURE ROARING] This is what you came
out here for, right? Get some answers? Well, carpe diem, Chief. -[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
-[HEAVY BREATHING] [BIRDS CHIRPING] Whatever it is, it's a ways off. Why do you say that? Listen. [BIRDS CHIRPING] Forest is letting
us know it's safe. Jesus, Chief. That's a damn fine observation. If I didn't know better,
I'd say you had some military in your background. Twelve years. Army Ranger. Shit. [CHUCKLES] Guess, I could be here
with worse. You? Well, if you count watching
reruns of<i> M#A#S#H</i> as serving your country,
then absolutely. Not quite. Then, no. I'm just a normal citizen. Hey, Chief? Suppose I'm right about those? The seal was broken
at some point. Ain't nothing holding
that thing back now. Nobody's safe. Like I said, Chief. I don't believe in fairy tales. [TWIG SNAPS] [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING] [DISTANT ROAR] Shit. [TYLER GRUNTS] [WATER BUBBLING] Oh, boy. Let me give you a hand, Chief. We need to move. -Now.
-Yeah, I'm not gonna argue with that, chief. -[ELI GRUNTS]
-[CREATURE ROARING] [GUNSHOTS FIRED] My leg's broken. -[ELI MOANS]
-Shh. [MUFFLED SCREAMING] [ELI GRUNTS AND PANTS] [ELI GRUNTS AND SCREAMS] [ELI GRUNTING] [BOTH BREATHE HEAVILY] [BOTH GRUNT] A little more, Chief. I need you to stay quiet. I gotta have a look at that leg. [ELI GRUNTS] [CONTINUES GRUNTING] How bad is it, Chief? I'm gonna need to set this. I saw my pack back there. I got supplies. -Don't go back there.
-Listen to me. I don't go get it,
you don't make it out of here. Shoot anything that moves. I'll be back as fast as I can. Hurry up, Chief.
That weather's moving in. [BEE BUZZING] [SOBS] Oh, baby. Baby, I'm so sorry. [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING] [CREATURE GROWLING] [PANTING] [GRUNTS] Hey? Over here, Chief. How you doing, Chief? I told ya. Curiosity killed the cat. I'm not gonna let you die here. [ELI GRUNTING] Let me see your flask. Bite down on this. [GRUNTS] On three. TYLER: One... -two--
-[MUFFLED SCREAM] We gotta keep moving. Come on. [ELI GRUNTING] [ELI GRUNTING AND PANTING] We gotta think
about making camp, Chief. You think you can
make it to that tree line? -Yeah.
-Let's move. ELI: [GRUNTS] Son of a bitch. ELI: I appreciate you saving
my bacon back there, Chief. I almost forgot something. I got this for ya. [ELI SIGHS] Ain't we quite the pair? -Curled up out here,
next to a fire--
-Quiet. Save your strength. You'll need it come morning. I'm gonna need a drink
come morning, Chief. Looks like we're a little light
on that right now. Did you really come up here to find out what
happened to her... or did you come up here
to join her? It's okay. Most people don't know
what's gonna happen 'til the moment's upon 'em. Either way, I can see
that you really love her. You ever lose someone you love? Yeah. I had a dog once. She could be a real bitch
sometimes. [TYLER LAUGHS] If you came up here
for answers... I'd say you got 'em, Chief. [BRANCHES RUSTLING] [GUNSHOTS FIRED] It doesn't like the fire. We'll be okay. We're okay. Hopefully, he's gone
for the night. [TYLER BREATHING HEAVILY] [SHIVERS] [SHIVERS] It's not whiskey,
but it'll keep you hydrated. Go easy on it. How you feeling? Okay. Keep watching.
I'll be back. [GRUNTS] [GRUNTS] Fuck! Shit. Fuck. I hate to tell you, Chief. There's only one way
out of here. Back the way we came. Right through its territory. And you and me both know
that ain't a two-man operation. I'm not leaving you here. You won't make it out of here
dragging my sorry ass. I'll think of something. Get some sleep. I'll take
the first watch tonight. We'll discuss it in the morning. It's not a discussion. TYLER: If you hear anything, -wake me up.
-You just get some rest. [ELI SCREAMING] -[CREATURE GROWLS]
-[TYLER GRUNTS] [TYLER GRUNTING] [CREATURE ROARS] [TYLER GRUNTS] -[CREATURE GROWLS]
-[TYLER GRUNTS] -[GUNSHOTS FIRED]
-[CREATURE ROARS] [COUGHS] [BREATHES HEAVILY] [PANTING] [TYLER PANTING] [GRUNTS] [TYLER BREATHES HEAVILY] [GRUNTS] [HORN HONKS] [HONKING CONTINUES] [HONKING CONTINUES] [HONKING CONTINUES] [CREATURE GROWLS] [GROWLING CONTINUES] [CREATURE GROWLS] [TYLER GRUNTS] [CREATURE GROWLING] [TYLER GRUNTS] [GRUNTS] [TYLER GRUNTING] [CREATURE ROARING] [VEHICLE CREAKING] [PANTING] [CREATURE GROWLING] [TYLER SCREAMS] [CREATURE GROWLING] [TYLER GRUNTS] [CHOKES] [TYLER COUGHING AND CHOKING] Come on! [TYLER GRUNTS] [TYLER GRUNTS] -[CREATURE ROARS]
-[GUNSHOT FIRED] [GAS CANISTER HISSES] Burn, you son of a bitch. [TYLER GRUNTS] [CREATURE GROANS] [PANTING] [MUSIC PLAYING OVER STEREO] [MONITOR BEEPS] [GROANS] [DOOR CLOSES] Mr. Laird, you're awake. Where am I? You've been through
quite a traumatic ordeal. You've been out
for quite a while. You're gonna need to rest
to heal your wounds. Do you remember what happened? Yes. Good. Good. There's someone
I'd like you to meet. Someone who can... help you
with what you've seen. I'm not crazy. I know what I saw. No one's saying
you were, Mr. Laird. JACKSON: Tyler Laird. The lone survivor. Who are you? I'm a man who has
your interest at heart. TYLER:
You're one of the doctors? No. You're from the psych ward. I'm not going back there.
I know what I saw. JACKSON: Good,
I was hoping for that. I have zero intentions
of letting anyone take you back
to the funny farm, Tyler. You really got close
to him, didn't you? Look at you. So, what do you want from me? Did you ever walk down
a dark street alone at night, maybe to get to your car? And suddenly you feel
that cold chill running down your spine as if something's watching you. When you were a little boy,
did your mother leave
the closet door open when she put you
to bed at night? And that darkness
was looking out as if it wanted
to swallow you up. Did you jump off the bed... terrified that something deep,
dark down below was gonna get you? Children always know best. They know that terror
really exists in the world. And as adults,
we're afraid to believe it. But you, my friend, are not a child. You know there really are things
that go bump in the night. My name is Jackson Wells, Tyler. And I, too, have seen monsters. Monsters? That's right. So, this is the real question. Did you kill it? I shot it... cut it... stabbed it, and I set that
son of a bitch on fire. So, you just pissed it off. What the hell is going on here? We are part of a team, Mr. Laird. And I am currently recruiting.
