Dead End Page #3

Synopsis: For the past 20 years, Frank Harrington has grudgingly driven his family to celebrate Christmas with his mother-in-law. This year, he takes a shortcut. It's the biggest mistake of his life: The nightmare begins. A mysterious woman in white wanders through the forest, leaving death in her wake. A terrifying black car - its driver invisible - carries the victims into the heart of the night. Every road sign points to a destination they never reach. The survivors succumb to panic, to madness; deeply buried secrets burst to the surface, and Christmas turns into a living hell.

-So, you wanna go after him?

Richard, get in.

We're going to the police.

-Why don't we go back to lnterstate?

-Your mother lives by the sheriff's.

We'll be there in 1 5 minutes.

Marcott? Never heard of it.

Richard, check the map.

Marcott...

Gimme a second.

-There's no Marcott on this map.

-Just give it to me.

-I don't see it either.

-Maybe that's because it's not there!

-Laura, give me the local map.

-I didn't bring it.

-You didn't bring it?

-We never needed it before.

-I asked you to. Remember?

-I had a lot of things to take care of.

-The presents and...

-Who gives a f*** about presents?

Would you please

watch your language?

I'm sorry, but how was I supposed to

know you're gonna take a shortcut?

And how was I supposed to know that

you were going to forget the map?

We've been coming here for 20 years,

and you'd never taken a shortcut.

I'll bring a globe in case you feel

like driving by way of the North Pole!

Is there any coffee left?

A little.

Okay. Pour me some.

Let's go to Marcott, then.

Is anybody else a bit freaked out

we are the only car in the road now?

It's Christmas Eve.

Yeah. Okay. How long

have we been driving?

It's 7:
30.

You said it was 7:30

when we took that lady into the car.

That damn thing is broken.

All right. Who's got a watch?

-I have a watch. It stopped at 7:30.

-Come on.

Don't you guys think that

this is just a little wacked?

I know you guys think

I'm retarded or whatever...

but I have a theory and I want you

to hear me out, okay?

Brad is dead. His body is mutilated

and God knows how it got that way.

We are the only people out here and

all the clocks have stopped at 7:30.

This reeks of

alien activity, you guys.

-Blow me.

-What?

Nothing.

Laura...

can you make her stop that, please?

-Let her. Maybe it will help.

-It's getting on my nerves.

I can't believe I fell asleep.

-How long was I out?

-I don't know. Maybe 1 0 minutes.

Are we still on that same road?

-Still no Marcott?

-No. No Marcott.

-I don't understand. Did we pass it?

-No, I haven't seen anything.

No lights, no signs, no nothing.

Sh*t! What is that?

-It's a baby carriage.

-I can see it's a baby carriage.

-Okay. I'll get out and I'll go see.

-No. Don't.

-Why?

-Just get going. I don't like this.

-Richard, come back here! Richard!

-Stop yelling in my ear!

Richard, come back here!

Hey, little guy!

Richard! Frank, no!

-You guys suck!

-I'm gonna kill that kid.

Oh, God!

-What the hell was that?

-Man, that was good!

-This is so not funny, Richard!

-It's a baby carriage. Why fear?

-It's empty.

-No sh*t!

-That is so not funny!

-Nice job. That was dumb.

What is it now?

I can't stop thinking about Diane.
