- Deputy Wheeler: [Siam jumps in and attacks Alex and Wheeler]
- [Wheeler looks at Alex]
- Deputy Wheeler: Alright, You cuff him, I'll read him his rights.
- [Travis pulls his truck to a stop in Shepherd's Glen]
- Travis Grady: [to Alex] Hometown?
- Alex Shepherd: You could say that.
- Elle Holloway: The town seems empty. All the stores are closed or boarded up. What's going on?
- Judge Holloway: It's complicated, Alex. A lot of things have happened since you left.
- Alex Shepherd: I noticed a banner out front that said something about an anniversary.
- Judge Holloway: Yes, the town's 150 year anniversary.
- Alex Shepherd: But wasn't that celebration, like, years ago? I thought I remembered being here for it.
- Judge Holloway: You're right. Things tend to stay in one place around here. I guess it's time we took that down, huh?
- [Alex goes home and finds his mother]
- Lillian Sheperd: Alex. What are you doing here?
- Alex Shepherd: I just got discharged. I was in the hospital for a bit, but I'm all right now.
- Lillian Sheperd: You've been gone too long.
- Alex Shepherd: Yeah. Where is everybody? Where's Josh?
- Lillian Sheperd: I don't know. Your father went to look for him. But now he's gone. Everyone's gone.
- [Alex notices that his mother has a revolver in her lap]
- Alex Shepherd: Mom, what's going on here? What happened? Mom!
- Lillian Sheperd: [sorrowfully] I miss your brother, Alex.
- Alex Shepherd: You've got a lot of clock parts in this place. There a reason?
- Curtis Ackers: Yeah, there's a reason. For fixing clocks! Haven't you noticed that every single clock in this town has stopped at exactly 2:06?
- Alex Shepherd: No, I hadn't.
- Curtis Ackers: Well, take a look around, son.
- Alex Shepherd: Why do you think that is?
- Curtis Ackers: Hell if I know. I just try to fix 'em. But it's no use. They won't start running again. It's like something's not letting us move on.
- [on the way to Silent Hill]
- Elle Holloway: You know, I never understood why you left. One day, you were just gone. Look, I didn't say it before, but I'm glad you're back. I feel safer with you here. Everything's just been falling apart around us, you know but you just keep moving forward.
- Alex Shepherd: I don't have a choice.
- Elle Holloway: Yes you do. You could just leave again.
- Deputy Wheeler: Alex, tell me what you know about Silent Hill.
- Alex Shepherd: I know Joshua and I were told a hundred times never to go there.
- Elle Holloway: Yeah, my mom was pretty strict about it too.
- Deputy Wheeler: Yeah, well, your parents were right. I can tell you, it all fits. All those things we've seen in Shepherd's Glen, the nightmares...
- Alex Shepherd: What do you mean?
- Deputy Wheeler: Silent Hill is what I mean. The place has bad history. Always has.
- Alex Shepherd: You've been there?
- Deputy Wheeler: Didn't need to, I heard enough. When I decided to move east, I was looking at a job in Brahms, working with the police. At the time, they had this cop, I can't remember her name. She had gone to Silent Hill.
- Elle Holloway: What happened to her?
- Deputy Wheeler: No one knows. They found her bike outside of town. But I heard rumors about the people who live there. Let's just say, they're not too friendly to people who don't share their beliefs.
- Alex Shepherd: The Order.
- Deputy Wheeler: Yeah. When I met with your father about working in Shepherd's Glen, he told me I would never have to go to Silent Hill. I guess there's some sort of irony here.
- Elle Holloway: Do you really think we're gonna find anyone there?
