00:00:00I can't believe that was our last day of school ever!
00:00:05Finally, freedom!
00:00:06Um, are you forgetting about college?
00:00:09This weekend is going to be amazing.
00:00:11Right, it's gonna be fire.
00:00:12Hey, have a great weekend.
00:00:13Oh, you too, man.
00:00:15Ah, crap, we're so late.
00:00:17Your dad's gonna kill us?
00:00:19He'll be fine.
00:00:20Your dad will not be fine, Kelsey.
00:00:23Sweet ride.
00:00:25Can we move it?
00:00:27After I drop you kids off, I've got to take a client all the way to Long Island in this thing.
00:00:32I told you he'd be mad.
00:00:37Hold on.
00:00:40What's wrong?
00:00:41I don't know.
00:00:43Maybe I should drive?
00:00:44What are you talking about?
00:00:46This was your idea.
00:00:47Besides, we can't take your car.
00:00:49It's okay.
00:00:50My dad's not mad.
00:00:51He's just in a hurry.
00:00:52He's just in a hurry.
00:00:53Well, it's all right.
00:00:55Hey, guys.
00:00:56Happy graduation.
00:00:57Thanks, Susie.
00:00:58I see dad's in a good mood.
00:01:00He's just frustrated.
00:01:01He has to entertain one of his high rollers tonight.
00:01:04He would rather be supervising you.
00:01:06Hi.
00:01:07I'm Susie, your server.
00:01:09Hey, James.
00:01:10Let me know if you need anything.
00:01:12Okay.
00:01:16Hey, buddy.
00:01:18This is awesome.
00:01:20Sorry, daddy.
00:01:23Sorry, sir.
00:01:28Sorry, Uncle Greg.
00:01:30We were just saying bye to our friends.
00:01:33We'll probably never see most of them again.
00:01:35I get it.
00:01:36I was young once.
00:01:37You were.
00:01:38Stop it.
00:01:39Look, I just can't be late picking up this client.
00:01:42James, we're all here.
00:01:44Got it, boss.
00:01:45Alex, glad to see you dressed for the occasion.
00:01:48Oh, I, um, I came prepared.
00:01:56Dad, if you're the boss, why do you have to entertain clients?
00:02:00Don't you have someone who can do that for you?
00:02:02There are certain things you can't pay people to do for you, Kelsey.
00:02:06You'll find that out once you go to college.
00:02:13At least we'll have each other.
00:02:15I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
00:02:17Hey, what about me?
00:02:19Of course you.
00:02:20Would anyone like anything to drink?
00:02:23I'll take a vodka.
00:02:26Soda.
00:02:27I'll take a soda.
00:02:36You passing out on me?
00:02:51No.
00:02:52I'm off.
00:02:53Just resting my eyes.
00:02:54How do you expect me to get through college with that attitude?
00:02:56I intend to actually go to class.
00:02:58Thank you very much.
00:02:59That's boring.
00:03:00Well, unfortunately, I have to get a degree if I want a future.
00:03:04So does Kelsey.
00:03:05Dad.
00:03:06Look, if you think you're going to live the rest of your life on my money, you're mistaken.
00:03:10You need to be more like your cousin, Sarah.
00:03:12Don't worry, Uncle G. I'll make sure she goes to all her classes.
00:03:15Me too.
00:03:17What are you majoring in, Sarah?
00:03:20Journalism.
00:03:21Yeah?
00:03:22We need some honest journalists again.
00:03:25Good for you.
00:03:26I'm majoring in journalism too.
00:03:28Gonna be a news anchor.
00:03:31You actually need to know what's going on in the world for that, Alex.
00:03:34You can't just sit there and look pretty.
00:03:36Aw.
00:03:37But he is pretty.
00:03:38You're being mean to me.
00:03:39Excuse me.
00:03:40I gotta take this.
00:03:41Um...
00:03:42Yeah, look, that land has been in my family for hundreds of years.
00:03:47I'm not gonna tie it into this deal.
00:03:48No way.
00:03:49Can I get you anything to drink, James?
00:04:02God, I would love a coffee.
00:04:05It's gonna be a long day.
00:04:07Franklin has me working a double shift.
00:04:09Look out!
00:04:10Shit!
00:04:11Hold on, baby!
00:04:12Ugh.
00:04:13Shit!
00:04:14Hold on, baby!
00:04:15Handy!
00:04:16Shit!
00:04:17Uh, c, sh...
00:04:20husband!
00:04:23Made me mad
00:04:35Kelsey?
00:04:46Kelsey?
00:04:48Sarah?
00:05:06Sarah, you're alive.
00:05:10I pulled everyone else out, but I think they're all dead.
00:05:17We're not alone out here.
00:05:19There's something else out here.
00:05:35There's something else out here.
00:06:05There's something else out here.
00:06:27Hey Sarah, how's the Jersey Devil article coming?
00:06:30That good, huh?
00:06:34It's mostly folklore nonsense.
00:06:37I can't believe there's so little in Kelsey's disappearance.
00:06:41I'm a trillion in those woods.
00:06:43Are you sure this isn't too painful for you?
00:06:46That's exactly why I need to write this article.
00:06:49It's been a year and no one wants to talk about it.
00:06:52The police gave up.
00:06:54I feel like I need to do something.
00:06:56I know you don't want to hear this, but as a reporter,
00:06:58you need to face the possibility that Kelsey's gone.
00:07:01She's alive.
00:07:02She's alive.
00:07:03I can feel it.
00:07:06Something is in those woods and it's going to hurt someone else.
00:07:11I get it.
00:07:12I'm just worried.
00:07:13That's all.
00:07:14I don't think this is healthy and I should have never agreed.
00:07:16Guys, look at this.
00:07:21Did you know that there's some kind of feud between your family and the Reeds?
00:07:25And they live in the Pine Barrens.
00:07:28Maybe they didn't know what happened to Kelsey.
00:07:30Exactly.
00:07:31Okay, Sarah, don't even start.
00:07:36What if they found out that Kelsey was a Franklin?
00:07:38I mean, who knows what these weirdos would have done?
00:07:42We should never get on that dumb RV.
00:07:46Okay, I'm pulling this article.
00:07:48Clearly this is too much for both of you.
00:07:50Maybe we reach out to local law enforcement with this information.
00:07:52You know, a 50-year-old article about a family feud, the Jersey Devil,
00:07:56and how it's all linked to the possible disappearance of your cousin?
00:07:59They never did find her body.
00:08:01And I know what I saw.
00:08:02I know it sounds crazy, but bad blood never dies, Alex.
00:08:07Okay, Sarah, you're talking crazy.
00:08:09You think that your crash and Kelsey's disappearance
00:08:11has something to do with some phony legend
00:08:14and some ancient, stupid family feud?
00:08:17It's not that crazy.
00:08:19Anyways, I just thought it'd be good research for the article.
00:08:24Did you not hear me?
00:08:25I'm pulling the story.
00:08:26Max, we can handle this.
00:08:30Fine.
00:08:32But under no circumstances do you guys go into those woods.
00:08:34But if I can't go...
00:08:35Sarah, promise me.
00:08:41I promise.
00:08:44Okay, Alex, I think you have your own assignment to work on.
00:08:47All right, copy that.
00:08:48All right, copy that.
00:09:11Hey, you still here?
00:09:13You still here?
00:09:14I'm still on this Jersey Devil thing.
00:09:29What's going on?
00:09:32I just took her...
00:09:35that thing.
00:09:37I was there.
00:09:41Remember?
00:09:44You had a concussion.
00:09:46Sarah, we've talked about this.
00:09:48It could have been an animal.
00:09:49No way.
00:09:55You're stuck.
00:09:56How?
00:09:57Just take a look at it.
00:09:58I mean, this story we're working on, it doesn't exactly have an ending now, does it?
00:10:02I know what I saw.
00:10:04And I know how crazy I sound.
00:10:07As journalists, there's a lot of things we just can't prove.
00:10:11Kelsey survived.
00:10:12I know she did.
00:10:18I don't know what that means.
00:10:21All I know is that sometimes people can manifest a tragedy to help them cope, and I don't know, maybe this is just your way of coping.
00:10:30Maybe.
00:10:31So what are we going to do about it?
00:10:37Finish the story.
00:10:56That's the last thing she ever texted me.
00:10:58Still haven't deleted it?
00:11:10I probably never will.
00:11:15I need to find out what happened to her.
00:11:18They ran search parties for months and they never found her body.
00:11:22If dozens of people with dogs, cops, couldn't find her body, what makes you think that you can't?
00:11:28I know what I saw.
00:11:30I might bring closure to the story.
00:11:36Well, fine.
00:11:38But this isn't just about the story then.
00:11:40It never was.
00:11:42It's about finding out what happened to Kelsey.
00:11:44I'm going with you.
00:11:45I don't need a babysitter.
00:11:46I have to do this on my own.
00:11:47Well, call me.
00:11:48Keep me updated.
00:11:50I'm going with you.
00:11:51I don't need a babysitter.
00:11:52I have to do this on my own.
00:11:56Well, call me.
00:11:58Keep me updated.
00:11:59You're still here.
00:12:00How's it going, Max?
00:12:01I was just finishing up.
00:12:14I just saw Sarah walk past.
00:12:18Is she doing okay?
00:12:23Yeah.
00:12:24Yeah.
00:12:26Alex, what's up?
00:12:28Uh, nothing.
00:12:30I'll see you tomorrow.
00:12:31Don't get yourselves killed.
00:12:32Are you there yet?
00:12:34Yeah, I just got to Devil's Cafe, Adam Ray's point.
00:12:57Don't tell Max, but I just spoke to the owner.
00:13:00I didn't tell Max, but I just spoke to the owner.
00:13:02She said she might know something.
00:13:04Well, that's a good start.
00:13:05Did she say anything about the Jersey Devil?
00:13:07I kind of laughed at me when I mentioned it.
00:13:11Are you following me?
00:13:12I don't want you to come alone.
00:13:14I can't believe you drove all night.
00:13:16Alex.
00:13:17Sorry.
00:13:18Way to be a creeper.
00:13:19Don't go looking for the devil!
00:13:21Because he knows.
00:13:22He knows.
00:13:23He's here.
00:13:24He's going to find you.
00:13:25I ain't afraid!
00:13:26No, I ain't afraid!
00:13:28You've been warned!
00:13:29You've been warned!
00:13:30You've been warned!
00:13:44Okay.
00:13:45So what's the plan?
00:13:50What exactly are you trying to find?
00:13:54I don't know.
00:13:55Maybe this is a stupid idea.
00:13:58Well, we're here, so...
00:14:00Let me get that for you.
00:14:06You the kids that called?
00:14:07Yeah.
00:14:08Sarah Franklin.
00:14:10Well, Beth's in the back.
00:14:11I'm not sure I can be of much help to you.
00:14:13I'm doing a report for my college paper.
00:14:15Mind if I ask you a few questions?
00:14:17Uh, don't bother me much.
00:14:18What I'm looking for is any information on that big RV crash from last year, from a local's
00:14:27perspective.
00:14:28Talking about that trailer that went up in flames?
00:14:30People got killed?
00:14:31Girl gone missing?
00:14:32Yeah, that one.
00:14:33I don't know much about it.
00:14:35Sheriff did a search party.
00:14:36Nothing turned up.
00:14:37Any idea what happened to her?
00:14:38No idea.
00:14:39Animals got her.
00:14:40Look, between you and me, I don't even think she was in the vehicle.
00:14:45She totally was.
00:14:47Excuse me?
00:14:48Nothing.
00:14:49Well, uh, I'm pretty busy, so sorry I can't be more helpful.
00:14:56You know anyone who can take us into those woods?
00:15:01You two kids ain't here trying to track down the Jersey Devil, are you?
00:15:06Cause we get so many people in here looking for that thing.
00:15:09Is it real?
00:15:10I live here my whole life.
00:15:12Only people ever seen it are tourists and crazies.
00:15:15This damn place is called the Devil's Cafe.
00:15:18But no, Jersey Devil ain't real.
00:15:21We're not saying it is.
00:15:22We just want to head to the site.
00:15:24And why would you want to go there?
00:15:27Because we were in an accident too, and we wanted to see for ourselves.
00:15:34I see.
00:15:35We really want some closure.
00:15:38Look, I might not know much, but sometimes it's better to just let those things lie.
00:15:45That's my advice to you.
00:15:47I think she's right.
00:15:48If you know anyone who might know those woods, that would be helpful.
00:15:52My shift's ending.
00:15:54Sorry, I can't help.
00:15:58Director, second refill.
00:15:59You're gonna have to pay for this one.
00:16:00That's why I was on the house.
00:16:01Well, maybe we should bail.
00:16:16Maybe this was a big waste.
00:16:19The kids want some more coffee?
00:16:24Uh, just the check.
00:16:26Carla told me there were some kids asking about going in the woods.
00:16:30Is that you too?
00:16:31Yeah, why?
00:16:32You know someone?
00:16:33If anybody knows these woods, it's Hank.
00:16:35And he's probably done with his last tour.
00:16:38He can take you where you want to go.
00:16:44You want to go into those woods?
00:16:45With a complete stranger?
00:16:46I'll be with you.
00:16:47I'm sure you can protect me.
00:16:49Is that sarcasm?
00:16:50Yes, it's sarcasm, Alex.
00:16:52I think that's him.
00:16:58I...
00:16:59Don't look.
00:17:00Why?
00:17:01I don't know, just don't look.
00:17:02What'd you call about?
00:17:03Kids, you're over here.
00:17:19You kids looking for somebody to take you into the woods?
00:17:22Maybe.
00:17:26Beth called me.
00:17:27She said someone needed a guide to take him into the Pine Barrens.
00:17:31You know about that big RV crash last year?
00:17:34Yeah.
00:17:35You know where it happened?
00:17:37They've closed that road now, you know.
00:17:40That's where we want to go.
00:17:45Well, you're in luck.
00:17:46It's a short drive, and then a 30-minute hide to that side of the highway.
00:17:49Can you take us?
00:17:50Huh.
00:17:51Depends.
00:17:53How much you got.
00:17:56200's all I got.
00:17:57Sure.
00:17:58You pay for my BLT.
00:17:59I'm gonna take that to go.
00:18:12You can follow me.
00:18:14First blood.
00:18:15He's gonna love you.
00:18:16He's gonna get hurt.
00:18:17He's gonna get hurt.
00:18:18But he's gonna...
00:18:19Steve!
00:18:20Scram.
00:18:21Come on.
00:18:22I'm gonna let's go.
00:18:23Get back.
00:18:24Let's go!
00:18:25That's Steve.
00:18:26He's a little touched.
00:18:27You two ready?
00:18:28Follow me.
00:18:29I still don't have a good feeling about this.
00:18:30It looks nice enough.
00:18:31I still don't have a good feeling about this.
00:18:32It looks nice enough.
00:18:33It looks nice enough.
00:18:34It looks nice enough.
00:18:35It looks nice enough.
00:18:36It looks nice enough.
00:18:37You ready?
00:18:38You ready?
00:18:38It looks nice enough.
00:18:39Are you ready?
00:18:44I'm pretty close.
00:18:45You ready?
00:18:47It looks nice enough.
00:18:49It's close.
00:18:53It's close.
00:18:54I'm-
00:18:55I've got the Lupe one.
00:18:56The Lupe one.
00:18:57It's close.
00:18:58That's close.
00:18:59It looks nice enough.
00:19:06You ready?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:09Let's go.
00:19:11Yes, sir.
00:19:29Hey, Max, just a heads up.
00:19:39I'm following Sarah out to the Devil's Cafe on Reach Point.
00:19:42I've been driving all night.
00:19:44Please don't be mad.
00:19:46When you know Sarah, she just wants your answers.
00:19:48Okay, so listen.
00:19:49I'll shoot you a text later when we're on our way back.
00:19:52Bye.
00:19:59Come on, Alex.
00:20:12Hey, this is Alex Williams. Sorry.
00:20:23Hi, this is Sarah. Please leave a message.
00:20:29Let's go.
00:20:46Devil's Cafe. Carla speaking.
00:20:48Hi.
00:20:49I'm trying to get a hold of my friends who said that they would be at your cafe.
00:20:54I really can't help you.
00:20:56I'm worried about them. I haven't been able to get a hold of them.
00:21:01One of them is a girl and she has short hair.
00:21:04The other is tall and has long hair.
00:21:06Have you seen two college kids by that description?
00:21:11Oh, yeah. They left a little while ago.
00:21:14Said they wanted to see the closed road where that RV crash happened.
00:21:17Oh, okay.
00:21:19Which road is that exactly?
00:21:21It's Pine Creek Road, right near Route 561.
00:21:24Okay. Um, thank you.
00:21:25Mm-hmm.
00:21:26You were in that RV that crashed, huh?
00:21:27We both burst.
00:21:29Must have a lot of guilt.
00:21:31Being the only two survivors.
00:21:33Well, they didn't find my cousin, so...
00:21:34What do you mean?
00:21:35I mean, she disappeared.
00:21:36Disappeared? How?
00:21:37I don't know.
00:21:38All I know is that something dragged her away.
00:21:39You didn't tell me that.
00:21:40You didn't ask.
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:42We got to go back.
00:21:43Come on.
00:21:44We got to go back.
00:21:45Come on.
00:21:46Why?
00:21:47Listen.
00:21:48Because you two were chasing the devil.
00:21:49We're just trying to find out what happened to my cousin.
00:21:52Are you talking about the Jersey Devil?
00:21:53Shh.
00:21:54Shhh.
00:21:55Things go on in these woods that will put the fear of God in you.
00:21:57I don't know.
00:21:58I don't know.
00:21:59What do you mean?
00:22:00I mean, she disappeared.
00:22:01Disappeared?
00:22:02How?
00:22:03I don't know.
00:22:04All I know is that something dragged her away.
00:22:06You didn't tell me that.
00:22:07You didn't ask.
00:22:08Okay.
00:22:09We got to go back.
00:22:10Come on.
00:22:11Why?
00:22:12Listen.
00:22:13Because you two were chasing the devil.
00:22:14We're just trying to find out what happened to my cousin.
00:22:16Are you talking about the Jersey Devil?
00:22:17Shh.
00:22:20Things go on in these woods that will put the fear of God in you.
00:22:27Bullshit.
00:22:30I'm just kidding.
00:22:33I do that to everybody I bring out here.
00:22:36It's fun.
00:22:37Come on.
00:22:38I mean, I want you to get your money's worth.
00:22:40That's why people come up here, is to get the crap scared out of them.
00:22:43Do you even know where the crash happened?
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:46It's right up here.
00:22:52Come on.
00:23:15So what's the story about the Jersey Devil anyway?
00:23:19There have been lots of them.
00:23:21Most of them go back to the Reed family.
00:23:24The who?
00:23:26The Reeds.
00:23:28The story goes they had 12 kids.
00:23:30When she got pregnant with a 13th.
00:23:31When she got pregnant with a 13th.
00:23:32She cursed at night.
00:23:33She didn't want to have another kid.
00:23:35When it was born, it had hoes like a deer.
00:23:38It had claws for hands.
00:23:40Forked tail.
00:23:41The father took it out of the woods to bury it.
00:23:44The creature killed him.
00:23:46And then went back and killed everybody else.
00:23:50Then there's the feud.
00:23:51Yes.
00:23:52You okay?
00:23:53Yeah.

00:34:51Okay, um...
00:34:51The guy taking us into the woods
00:34:53wanted to get help but never came back.
00:34:54What was his name?
00:34:55Hank.
00:34:56I didn't get a last name.
00:34:58Hank.
00:34:59Do you know him?
00:35:01No, pretty much everybody in these woods
00:35:02knows each other but I've never heard of a Hank before.
00:35:04I need help.
00:35:06No problem, just come inside,
00:35:07we'll call the sheriff and they'll send somebody
00:35:08to look for him, okay?
00:35:21Hank.
00:35:29Hey.
00:35:30Hey, oh my God, I thought you left us.
00:35:33Sorry.
00:35:35I got a little turned around.
00:35:38These woods will do that to you
00:35:40no matter how long you've been at them.
00:35:44Where is Sarah?
00:35:45She went to find you, did you see her?
00:35:47Oh my God.
00:35:48No!
00:35:48Oh shit.
00:35:49Let's get you out of here.
00:35:50flashlight for me, would you? Yeah. Okay, brace yourself. Here we go.
00:36:11Be careful. Okay. Yeah.
00:36:15All right, now we just have to find Sarah. Well, we're not doing anything tonight. Take this.
00:36:23Take this. Yeah, but she's here, so we should just find her. We will find her in the morning.
00:36:28Right now, we're getting out of here. Keep hopping. Yeah.
00:36:33All right, you got it? Are we ready? Okay, let's go. Yeah, let's go. Oh, thank you.
00:36:38Yeah. Yeah, Sheriff, his name is Alex Williams. Sixth one. Long hair. Yeah, his legs busted up real bad.
00:36:50Okay. Yeah, thank you, Sheriff. Okay. How you feeling? Any better?
00:36:58Thanks. They're gonna send somebody to look for him. They'll find him.
00:37:02Last year, there was an RV crash in the woods. Yeah, I remember that. I thought everybody died.
00:37:10I survived.
00:37:15So, if you don't mind me asking, what brings you back here? I'm doing an article for my college
00:37:20newspaper. I'm looking for answers to questions I can't seem to figure out. My cousin Kelsey was also
00:37:26in the crash with me. No, I remember this. There was a huge search, but they never found her, right?
00:37:33Oh, hey, Sarah. You don't have to talk about this if you don't want to.
00:37:38No, it's okay. They never found her body, but I think she might still be alive.
00:37:44What makes you think she's still alive? I don't know. I just saw something that dragged her away.
00:37:52Jersey Devil. Crazy, right? No.
00:37:57No. I've been telling people about the Jersey Devil for years, but they just think I'm nuts.
00:38:03Is it real? Oh, yeah. It's real. I saw it once when I was a kid. I'll never forget. It's huge.
00:38:14Hooves for feet. Fangs. But those horns. I think that's what I saw.
00:38:22Sarah, listen to me. The Jersey Devil is pure evil, and I've been hunting it ever since.
00:38:35Not who sounds crazy, right? No, not at all. In fact, I'm kind of relieved.
00:38:41All right. All right. All right. All right. Thank you.
00:38:48All right. Come on. Let's pull it together. Right in here.
00:38:53Here you go. You all right? My leg is killing me. I think I got some aspirin over here.
00:39:02You got anything stronger? Yeah, whiskey. That'll do. All right.
00:39:10All right. Here. Put this on. You're going to get cold.
00:39:22Here you go. Thanks. Mm-hmm. Can I use your phone? Give me a second here.
00:39:33Thanks.
00:39:43Should we call the station? Shouldn't we have her something by now?
00:39:47What's that? What's what? That sound.
00:39:54That's an old house. It's probably just the furnace or something. Who knows?
00:40:00I know you heard that.
00:40:06Yep. That's the furnace. It's the oil moving through the pipes. It knocks when it gets fired up.
00:40:10Yeah. Look, I'm really worried about Alex. Sheriff will call, Sarah. Maybe we should call them.
00:40:21It's dead. Look, phone lines go down around here all the time. All right. The wind picked up.
00:40:26It probably knocks them down. Well, I can't wait here. I have to go back out there and look for Alex.
00:40:30Okay. Well, hold on a second. Sarah, slow down. All right. I don't want you going out there by yourself.
00:40:35Just let me grab a couple of things and then we'll go. All right.
00:40:37All right. Thank you. With everything you know about those woods, you're not scared?
00:40:42I know these woods like the back of my hands. And no, I'm not scared of the Jersey Devil.
00:40:47I suggest that if and when we find your friend, you two get out of here. You leave this place behind.
00:40:53You never come back. I don't know if I could do that.
00:40:56You don't know what you're dealing with here, Sarah.
00:40:59I thought you said you're not afraid of any Jersey Devil.
00:41:02I'm not. You should be. You, your friend, you're something you'd like to possess.
00:41:08You seem to know a lot about this thing.
00:41:10I should. I've been studying the folklore for the better part of 10 years.
00:41:17Follow me.
00:41:18Where?
00:41:19Trust me. I just want to show you something. Then we'll go.
00:41:21I've been tracking the Jersey Devil for years.
00:41:52Is this what took your friend?
00:41:54No. It was different. If it was the Jersey Devil who took her, what does it want with her?
00:42:02Who knows?
00:42:06We should get going.
00:42:06Huh. That's dead.
00:42:23What?
00:42:26Can you just charge my phone?
00:42:29Sure. Sure.
00:42:36Here we go.
00:42:46Yeah, how do you, uh, how do you have the keys to this place?
00:42:49I'm the local handyman.
00:42:53I have keys to all these businesses.
00:42:56That way, when I repair something, I don't have to disturb the owners.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:01Hey, don't worry. We're gonna find your friend.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:16Looks like the wood's cut.
00:43:19I think it's safe to say he's been rescued.
00:43:23We should head back.
00:43:24And we'll figure this out in the morning, okay?
00:43:29Come on.
00:43:31Hank, my phone's got some juice.
00:43:48Yeah.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:56Serious?
00:43:57Yeah.
00:43:58It's spotty, like I said.
00:44:02Duh.
00:44:04So what do we do now?
00:44:06I'm gonna drive over to the sheriff's office and see if we can pull together a search party for your friend.
00:44:13Hey, what's happening to me?
00:44:15No, you're all right, son.
00:44:17You're all right. He's into it.
00:44:19You'll be all right, son.
00:44:25There you go.
00:44:34Hey, I got him.
00:44:36Yeah, we'll meet you there.
00:44:37You almost screwed this up.
00:44:43It's not my fault this kid fell and broke his leg.
00:44:46We don't have much time.
00:44:47Tell me about it.
00:44:49The girl.
00:44:50Nah, he's got her.
00:44:53Dumb-ass kids.
00:44:56What were they thinking?
00:44:57They were gonna go into the woods with a total stranger and nothing would happen.
00:45:01What do they call them? Millennials?
00:45:03Come on there.
00:45:04Kenzeers?
00:45:05Something like that.
00:45:08Millennials?
00:45:11All right, let's go.
00:45:19Hey, how you doing?
00:45:22This is all my fault.
00:45:23Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sarah.
00:45:25No, this is not your fault.
00:45:27Really?
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:29What you're doing is really brave.
00:45:32Searching for your cousin like this, that's...
00:45:34That's brave.
00:45:38Look, we will find Alex in the morning.
00:45:40I promise.
00:45:42Okay?
00:45:43Just for now, just try to get some rest.
00:45:59Hank, I don't feel good.
00:46:16Hank.
00:46:18Hank, I'm gonna throw up.
00:46:19Hank, I'm gonna throw up.
00:46:21Hank, I'm gonna throw up.
00:46:24Hank, I don't feel good.
00:46:25Hank, I'm gonna throw up.
00:46:41Hey, you better not throw up in there, kid.
00:46:44I'll make you eat it.
00:46:53Where are you going?
00:46:54You idiot!
00:46:58Well, come on.
00:46:58It's not like he's gonna get very far.
00:47:00Go get him!
00:47:11Kid?
00:47:14You're gonna get yourself killed in there.
00:47:20I lost you.
00:47:25Tyler!
00:47:26You
00:47:35You
00:47:39You
