They better wrap this sh*t up...

'cause there's no goddamn way

I'm walking back in the dark.

If we keep along this direction,

we'll be able to cut the curve

and make better time.

Whatever you say,

fearless leader.

Please don't. Please don't.

Can someone Uber us a cab?

Mandy, talk to me.

Hey, stop it. Stop.

What? What, Jeff. What?

I'm sorry. Okay?

I made a mistake.

You didn't pack like it was

a mistake. Guys, guys, guys, guys.

- It was a mistake.

- Help me understand, Jeff.

What exactly are you sorry for?

Come on. For failing to fill

everyone in on what we're doing?

No, I'm sorry that

you are upset with me.

Okay? I thought that this was

gonna be fun for everybody.

That's bullshit.

No, it's not.

That's bullshit, Jeff.

Yes, it is.

You thought it was gonna be fun for you.

No.

You do this all the time.

You set your mind to one little thing...

and you completely forget about

everything and everyone else.

I'm sorry.

I just hope you got

what you came for.

So, uh,

did you guys ever hear about the Ohio Howl?

The Ohio what?

Howl... like at the moon.

Like, "Whoo!"

Sean, shut the hell up.

You say another goddamn word,

I'm gonna slap the sh*t out of you.

No one needs

to say another word.

All anyone should be doing is

getting us the hell out of here.

Is that that O...

that...

I'll tell you about it later.

It's crazy. It's worse than her.

Matt.

- This looks familiar.

- Really?

- Yes.

- We're close, guys. We're close.

Can you guys

just hold on for a second?

Sean, can I see your phone real quick?

Oh, yeah.

Just wanna check the satellite.

The road should be a couple miles.

The password

is "peeing."

I hate this.

That looks

familiar with the trees.

Yeah.

- A lot of knocked-over trees.

- Right. With the branch.

No? Yeah.

We're close.

What's happened? We

could sleep there. With the branch.

- Here we go. That's what we want.

- Oh, you got it, babe?

That way.

Straight toward the peaks.

Mandy!

Mandy.

What's going on?

What's wrong?

You okay?

Oh, my...

Holy sh*t!

I thought you said

there was nothing out here.

Holy sh*t!

What the hell was that?

We should keep moving to the car.

We'll call the ranger's

office when we get there.

Nothing else we can do.

Just keep moving to the peaks.

- Come on. Go to the peaks. Let's go.

- That way. That way.

Go, go, go.

You're making too much noise,

Matt.

You're making too much noise!

Quiet!

Shh.

Jeff...

Cut the lights. Cut the lights.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Shh.

Shh.

Listen to me.

Go... around.

Go... around.

Go around.

Shh, shh. Shh, shh.

I'm gonna scare it.

I'm gonna scare it.

On three.

One.

Two.

Go, go, go!

Go!

Go, go, go! Go!

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Go, go, go! Go, go!

- Go! Go! Go!

- All right, go!

- Jeff!

- Go, go, go! Go, go!

Go, go!

Come on. Come on!

Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go!

Drop it.

Drop it. Go! Go!

- Go! Move!

- Go, go!

This way. This way.

Move!

Go, go, go!

Hey! Oh, sh*t!

Oh, sh*t!

Go, go, go!

Cut your lights.

Cut the lights.

Cut the lights. Cut the lights.

It's okay. It's okay.

We're good. We're good.

Okay. Shh. Shh.

Breathe. Breathe.

Breathe.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Shh.

Okay.

It's a house.

What?

It's a house.

Okay.

Shh. Shh.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen. You and Sean get the

girls to the house. Okay?

You have to come with us.

Hey. I will be there.

Jeff, you have to come with us.

Listen to me.

Keep your lights off and

run as fast as you can.

You get there.

I'm gonna run along the tree line.

Listen. I'll run

along the tree line.

I'm gonna distract it,

and I'm gonna meet you there. Okay?

Okay? Get them

to the house.

I got it. I promise.

Go. Go.

Sean, go.

Jeff.

Go.

Please.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Ohh!

Jeff!

No! Jeff! No!

Jeff!

No!

Jeff!

No! No!

Come on. Go, go, go!

Go! Go!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Go, go, go!

- Hello?

- Hello! Please! We're in danger!

Please open the door!

Please! Hello! Hello!

Hey!

Oh, sh*t!

Goddamn it!

Open the door! Now!

Open the f***ing door!

You, in there, please!

Hey, you! You! Open the door!

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

No! No! No!

What the hell is that thing?

Oh, God!

What the f***?

Shh! Shh!

Might as well get comfortable.

It's deep,

but this should slow the bleeding.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi, ma'am.

Hi. Yes. Yeah.

This is Sean.

Yeah. We were... Yeah.

We just got disconnected. I...

No, no, no. I already tried the

park ranger. They didn't answer.

I left a message.

Okay, look, my-my...

Okay, look, my phone

is about to die.

We don't have any service here.

Okay, but...

Ma'am, what is your name?

Donnette.

Can you please transfer

me to your supervisor?

Hey.

How you doing?

I'll live.

How are you?

I'm sorry about your brother.

How'd you guys get here?

Um, we were on a business

trip and the car broke down,

so we were cutting through the woods

trying to get to the main highway,

and that thing

just chased us here.

It just... It just happened too

fast to do anything more than run.

How long you been here?

Um... Hey, guys.

Um, your phone just died.

But I was able to leave word

at the ranger's office,

and I talked to 911,

and they said they were gonna

send someone as soon as possible.

Where?

Here.

They're gonna trace the call to

the nearest cell phone tower.

Also I texted your parents,

and I...

was vague,

but they said

they're sending help.

Someone in the area.

Friends.

Your parents know

people in the area?

They used to.

Hopefully they can send someone to help.

Well, that sounds promising.

Okay, so we just wait it

out here until it's safe?

Well, we are safe here, right?

Sure.

- What did 911 say? How long?

- It doesn't matter.

No one's coming.

Who said that?

Even if they were,

it wouldn't be soon enough.

We chummed the water the minute

we opened the damn door.

Now it's got

a fresh dose of our scent,

along with some fresh meat.

And that's Douglas.

He's got a point.

But I think we have a window

we can work with here.

You guys give us some extra

hands we didn't have before.

Okay, so here goes.

I think this thing slows down...

after it's eaten.

How... How do you

know that?

Because there wasn't

always three of us.

Now, assuming

that it does slow down,

this should be a good time to make

sure that we're safe in here.

What-What do you mean?

We're not safe in here already?

These barricades were up

when we got here.

Some are new.

Some are older.

And if we spread out,

check 'em all, find the weak ones,

we can reinforce them,

keep the beast at bay.

Weak ones, Carl.

That's assuming you can find them

faster than that thing can break in.

What does he mean?

It keeps testing for

weaknesses in our defenses,

trying different access points,

some that we don't even know yet.

This is the cellar door.

I didn't think that meant free

access from the outside...

until it flew in here.

We barely caught it in time.

Somehow it knows.
