It's okay, Sarah.

I'm not gonna

(SHOUTING)

I don't wanna be here!

Sarah, come on, calm down.

Here. Your wrist is bleeding.

We'll tie this up first.

I got something here.

(GROANS) I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I know that hurts.

All right, just put pressure on that.

Hold on to it.

Sarah, honey, it's gonna be okay.

All right'?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna get your dad.

Just stay in the car.

What are you doing?

I'm getting my gun.

You can't leave me alone here!

I'm gonna be right back!

Just stay in the car, Sarah! No!

(SOBBING) No!

(MUFFLED) Stay in the car and

lock the doors. Lock it!

Jesus, Sarah!

What are you doing?

I told you to stay in the car!

You left the trunk open!

No, I didn't!

I closed the trunk.

Someone got in the car!

What?

You can't open it.

I locked him out.

No!

Do you have my key?

Yeah, I'm not giving it...

Give me the key, Sarah!

I'm not gonna give it to you!

(SOBBING) Please don't!

I don't want to!

I don't want to go out there.

(SOBBING)

I'm sorry. I'm sorry about before.

I didn't know.

You all right? You sure?

(SHAKILY) Yeah.

Can you show me exactly where

you last saw your father?

I looked around

but I didn't see anybody.

I looked quick. Take this.

How's your wrist? It's okay.

All right, we're

sticking together now.

What if he gets in the basement?

Forget about it.

We're gonna get your dad and

we're gonna get out of here.

Get right behind me. Come on.

Come on.

John?

John?

John?

SARAH:
He wasn't in that room.

Where was he?

He was in there.

Okay.

Let's look again.

He was right here.

Oh, Jesus.

Sarah, how was your father

when you last left him?

Could he have gotten up?

Could he have moved somewhere?

I can't see how.

Okay, well, maybe he...

Maybe he came to.

(SNIFFLING)

Uncle Peter?

Over here.

I don't think there's

anybody on this floor.

Yeah.

(SOFTLY) Oh, man.

What? What is that?

Uh, it's...

It's garbage. Here.

Gotta get this out of here.

Did you check upstairs?

Quickly. Let's...

Let's look again.
