:43:01
Tell me how you knew
about that mob!
:43:06
You see, you can't bullshit
a bullshitter, can you?
:43:08
'Cause I'll tell you how.
:43:09
This whole thing
has been staged, that's how.
:43:11
You, Harglow, and Cane
put me through all of this...
:43:13
so I can blab to the media...
:43:14
about Cane's
haunted little town...
:43:16
help you sell
a few more million copies.
:43:18
Well, fuck that.
:43:19
- You're wrong.
- No, I'm not.
:43:21
Before I leave
this shitty town...
:43:22
I'm going to find someone
who's going to come clean...
:43:24
and we're going to dismiss
your bullshit claim.
:43:26
You're wrong, Trent.
I know you are wrong.
:43:29
How am I wrong?
:43:30
Because you're right.
You're haif right.
:43:32
This was a hoax.
:43:33
We did send Cane away
on a publicity stunt...
:43:36
only he never showed up.
:43:37
Harglow sent me with you
to make it look good...
:43:40
only we weren't supposed to find
anything, but we did.
:43:43
That's how I know
what we're seeing is real.
:43:45
We didn't stage any of this.
:43:48
It's all happening
for real, Trent.
:43:50
And it is all in that book,
and that's how I know.
:43:52
You're lying.
:43:53
I read the books, too,
you remember?
:43:55
There's nothing about any mob,
any little girl.
:43:57
Not in the old books, Trent.
In the new one!
:44:00
No one knew what was in it
except me and Cane's agent.
:44:10
All right.
:44:12
What's it about, the new one?
:44:14
It's about the end
to everything...
:44:17
and it starts here
in this place...
:44:20
with an evil that returns
and takes over Hobb's End...
:44:23
piece by piece,
starting with the children.
:44:26
It's about people
turning into things...
:44:29
creatures that aren't
human anymore.
:44:31
It's fiction, Styles, fiction.
:44:33
We need to read the new book
to find the way out.
:44:37
How's that gonna help?
:44:39
We could skip to the ending.
:44:41
I really hope
you're making this up...
:44:44
because if you're not,
you're actually crazy.
:44:47
Please, Trent.
:44:50
Don't make me do this alone,
Trent.
:44:58
Are you coming with me?
