and nobody in here.

Let me see your hand.

What are you

thinking?

Since we've been here I

haven't heard a dog bark,

a car pass, nothing.

Just us and them.

Why are they

doing this?

Kristen, I don't want you

to think about that, okay?

Don't think about it.

Doesn't matter right now.

We don't need a reason if

they come through that door.

Okay?

What is it?

It's my phone.

We gotta get

out of here.

Sh*t.

Who is that?

I don't know.

Get out

of the car.

Come on.

James, we

need a gun.

I'm looking.

Does your dad

have a gun?

Kristen,

I'm looking.

There was one here when I

was a kid. He always hid it.

Let's go to

the bedroom.

Oh, my God!

What

are you doing?

Looking for bullets.

Stop. I got them,

I got them.

I don't know how

to use this thing.

What do you mean?

I'm not sure I even

know how to load it.

But you said you used

to hunt with your dad.

No, I never did. It was

just something that I said.

When I open the door, I

just want you to run, okay?

Block the door,

block the door.

Push!

Come on.

We're not gonna

f***ing die here.

We're gonna sit here, we're gonna wait

for the f***ing cops to come, or whatever,

but we're not

gonna f***ing die.

Yo, Jimmy James.

What's up, buddy?

It's Mike. Listen, man, I'm

outside. I got here early.

I just decided to

come out, and you know,

just be here for you as

soon as I possibly could,

because you know how I like to

wait on you hand and f***ing foot.

What the f***?

Hello?

Jimmy?

Kristen?

Hello?

Kristen, I shot him.

He didn't have a mask.

What?

Why didn't he have

a f***ing mask?

What do you mean,

he didn't have a mask?

James?

James?

What?

Oh, God!

What is it?

Stay there.

James, answer me.

Oh, f***!

What?

Don't. Stay there.

Get off of me.

Stop it.

It's Mike. Mike.

Please don't look.

It's Mike.

Oh, God.

Baby, it's

not your fault.

He was my best friend.

He's my best friend.

He was my best friend.

What am I gonna do?

Where

are you going?

I'm gonna go outside. I

want you to hide somewhere.

What are you

talking about?

There's an old radio at the barn,

I'm gonna try and call for help.

I don't know

what else to do.

It's okay, I'm gonna

come right back for you.

Listen, I want you to go,

and I want you to hide there.

I'll keep them away.

I'll come find you.

James, no. I want

to come with you.

Kristen, please, it'll

be okay, I promise.

I'll be fine.

Be careful. James.

Oh, sh*t!

James?

Ah!

Oh, f***!

James?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Can anybody hear me?

This is K-50.

Hello?

Can you hear me? Hello?

Please,

answer me.

Help me.

Where are you?

No!

He's gonna

kill you.

Why are you doing this to us?
