Sean. Sean Ramsey.

Charles:
My name is Charles,

and this is my wife, Dana.

I need you to take these.

They're gonna help

with the pain.

It's the strongest thing I got.

Dana:
I'd take 'em

if I were you.

You're lucky he's a paramedic.

Charles:

Now, tell us what happened.

What attacked you?

We can't be here.

Charles:
Just...

Tell us what happened.

A week or so ago...

My brother and some them boys

were coming up...

They come up here, just hunting.

I was supposed to be

with 'em, but I wasn't.

Anyway...

After about a week,

we started thinking

maybe they...

Stayed to hunt

for another few days.

Then a week turned into two...

We started worrying about 'em.

Then, uh...

Then they found my boy Kevin...

He was stumbling down

the middle of the street.

He'd been attacked...

Something attacked him.

He couldn't talk,

he was so scared.

Charles:

Then what happened?

What about your brother?

He never came back.

Kevin said he got attacked

by whatever it was.

The folks around town...

Started saying that

it was Kevin.

I knew better.

We came up here and we thought

we'd get retribution.

Get some payback on whatever

the hell it was

that did that to him.

It was a stupid idea.

Sounded more like a party.

Charles.

We were blowing off some steam.

Oh...

What happened to your brother?

Oh, can I get some more

of that water?

What was that?

Did you hear something?

I heard something.

Is it out there?

Oh!

Charles:
We can wait till

morning, get him out of here.

Dana:
I think we should make

a run for it now.

That's it, that's your plan?

Charles:

You got a better one?

Yeah, go ahead and shoot me now!

It's the best plan I got.

Just stop humming, ok?

Sorry.

Been doing it since I was

a little kid.

I might as well die

with a sweet tune in my mind.

You're not gonna die.

Brother hated it, too.

Don't move.

It's a bear.

Just kill us, already.

Shut up!

Sean:
Know how to use that?

You're better off letting me.

I know how to use a firearm.

Dana:
Did you hit it?

I don't know.

Might as well save your bullets.

Baby, turn the light off!

Oh, my god!

Big bad wolf.

Did you see that?

It saved us.

Sean:
No...

It's just more patient

than a bear.

You oughta save some

of them for better use.

What do you mean, better use?

Turn the light off.

Sean:
I mean...

Save one bullet for each of us.

In case we don't make it

till the morning.

You think we'll be safer

when we get to daylight?

No.

It's just easier to run from it

when you can see it

comin' at ya.

Whatever it takes,

we'll beat it.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

I'm sorry.

But you don't have

what it takes.

Nobody does.
