The Sluagh Awakens

We did it.

Can you get the back, baby?

Got it.

Woo!

- Be careful. - Wow, yeah, that a girl.

All right.

I got it.

How are you?

You good?

Good.

All right.

Leave them in the boat?

- Absolutely. - Okay.

- Is that what you want? - Yeah, we can.

- Sounds good. - All right, cool.

What is this place?

It's cool.

We are no in Kansas anymore, are we?

Sure.

They got pizza.

Ladies first.

Yes.

- Yes. - Would look at this,

this is amazing.

Well, hello.

How're you fine folks doing this evening?

We are living the American dream, my man.

Well, can I interest you in a couple of me draft beers?

Sure, give us your best.

See this up here?

It's looks right at

Here you go.

So, what do you fine folks have planned for this evening?

Um...

Uh...

We just wanna step away from city life for a few days.

See how you country folk do it.

Oh, Collin, come on.

I know you wanna tell him, you're proud.

Go for it.

Okay, okay.

So,

a couple of weeks ago,

I struck a 10 bagger in the market.

Set me and the good wife up for life,

so I'd say that's a pretty solid reason

to come out and celebrate, am I right?

Pay homage to that good old Irish luck.

Well, cheers to you, mate.

Me name's Jack.

Jack Mulligan.

Name's Collin,

this is my wife, Mave.

Pleasure to meet you.

A couple of our friends told us about

some of the hiking trails around here,

so we thought we'd try them out.

You are not thinking about doing that

around here tonight, are you?

Yeah.

It's liberating.

Especially with the full moon out there.

No shit.

You see, Jack, there are two things I strive for in life.

The first, strike it big in the market.

Second, bang my wife under the pale moonlight,

which I will do tonight.

Oh my God, stop.

Well, cheers again, mate.

But you know what?

You might want to rethink that second part.

It's not the wisest thing to be doing around here,

if you know what I mean.

Uh...

Actually, no, I have no idea

what you're talking about, Jack.

Trust me when I tell you,

go back to the city.

Jack, I need a top-off on my drink.

Come back over here, please.

You know that moon out there tonight?

- Uh-huh. - It ain't no ordinary moon.

It's what we call a chased moon.

And with it comes trouble.

Okay.

Yeah, I think I've heard this urban legend before.

Only, man, I'm pretty sure

it's a full moon you're talking about.

If you're gonna tell the story,

you gotta tell it, right, you know?

This ain't no laughing matter, boy.

When I came over here many years ago,

I encountered a creature out on them trails.

He was the meanest son of a bitch I ever seen

with an old Irish temper.

What kind of creature was it?

Oh, evilest thing you've ever seen, lass.

Okay, you have me reeled in.

Tell me more.

You see that scar, there, then?

Oh, wow.

- Holy shit. - What happened?

The Sluagh.

He done that to me.

I'm lucky that's all he did.

Wait, the...

The Sluagh?

Is that what he said?

That's what he said.

You see, lad, when the undead become restless,

and their souls become restless,

they become what the Irish call a changeling,

and he takes the form of a demon.

Okay, now a demon I am familiar with.

2008, Wall Street,

met a lot of them, it was a bad, bad year.

I ain't playing with you, boy.

That thing's out there and it's waiting for you.

And it'll rip your soul right out of your body.

So if you trust what I'm telling you,

why don't you take your little wifey, here,

and go back home?

All right.

On that note,

Jack, it's been a pleasure.

Keep the change.

Have a good day, okay?

Much obliged.

Hey, Mave, Mave.

Is it just me, or was that guy kind of a dick?

That guy was super weird.

That's what I thought.

Damn, dude!

You can't creep up on people like that.

You're gonna get yourself killed.

Oh no, lad,

I'm not the one who has to worry about

getting killed tonight.

Are you two going over the hills

on a St. Patrick's Day night?

The moon, it's a worm moon.

The unearthing of the undead.

Yeah, yeah, have a good night.

People and the moon.

Don't touch me!

Piss off, old man!

What's your problem?

You crazy?

Collin, I'm starting to rethink this whole hiking shindig.

Can we please just go?

Hey, hey.

Come on.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

These people are just, they're rednecks.

They're uneducated.

Most of them suffer from mental illness.

I guess so, but after the bartender

and old racket breath other there,

I'm just, I don't like it.

I know, I know.

Listen,

we're okay.

You are okay.

Come on, you trust me, right?

Right?

Yes.

Yeah.

Come on.

Let's have some fun.

Come on.

"Worm moon."

Yeah.

It's freezing out here.

Oh, this is great though.

Yeah.

It's so quiet, there's no people,

no stocks,

no bonds, no, what do you call them?

ETFs?

What?

You trying to turn me on or something?

Maybe.

- You're going a good job. - Yeah?

Yeah.

You see that?

Mm-hmm.

That a car?

I think so.

What is a car doing out here?

I don't know.

Hey,

you see this?

Yeah.

It's a car.

Is this private property or something?

Does it matter?

It's locked, no, wait, it's open.

Oh, God.

- Oh, do you smell that? - Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.
