Well, they did

something to Jimmy, right.

Do you think...

It's Jimmy's tattoo.

What? No.

It's okay. It's okay.

Stay here.

Campbell.

- It's Jimmy.

- No, dad. Wait, wait.

It's Jimmy.

The door.

Let's get him to the bedroom.

Give me a towel.

Go check on the girls,

make sure they're safe.

And make sure the doors

are locked.

- Ahh, f***!

- Jimmy, what happened?

- I underestimated them.

- Okay, I'll get you

- to a hospital, Jimmy.

- There's no time.

There's too many of them.

They're f***ing everywhere.

- How many came in?

- Just one.

They're toying with you.

They want him to redeem himself.

Justin on his own.

They're not gonna stop.

- F***.

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

Oh, f***!

How did Justin get involved

with these people?

He's never been violent.

He's a young man.

Young men need

to find their tribe.

He needs something

to believe in.

Well, then we failed him

as parents.

- What are they doing out there?

- Nothing.

- Can you still see them?

- No.

Maybe they've gone.

What are we gonna do?

I haven't figured that out yet.

What about the cars?

I don't think that's gonna work.

How'd these a**holes

even find us here?

While we grabbed Justin,

there was another kid with him.

He must've known

about the cabin.

What if one of us...

By one of us, I mean me,

makes a run out of the backdoor

to try and get help.

- Campbell, no.

- But, I'm fast.

And I'll body check any lunatic

who tries to slow me down.

No, I can't risk you

getting caught.

What if we cause

some sort of distraction?

- A diversion.

- Yeah.

We could get all

of their attention

to the front of the cabin

- and send cam out the back.

- Yes.

- No!

- Well, do you have

any other ideas at all?

I know your usual solution

to problems is just throw money

at them, but the guy you paid

- this time is dead.

- We're not gonna risk

them catching you.

No, Campbell.

Why don't they

just get it over with, huh?

Why haven't they just smashed

the windows and killed us?

It's a show of force for them.

They want us to submit.

Well, then what about this?

Why don't we

just give him to them?

- What?

- They already killed one person.

They just tried

to kill you and me.

If all they want is Justin,

why don't we just hand

- the little sh*t over to them?

- That's your brother

- you're talking about...

- It's what they want!

- It's what he wants.

- How can you

- even think like that?

- Oh, come on.

- We're all thinking it.

- We are not giving

- your brother over.

- We can not give him back

- to them, cam. No.

- We need to stick together

as a family.

A family?

What family?

- You and mom split up.

- Campbell...

It's my fault your mother left.
