That's not a

rhetorical question.

- Yeah, no, I agree.

That's a fair question.

Hang on.

You stay in the van.

You don't need to bring that.

- [Riley] You're not the boss.

- Hey, Blair, maybe I

should come down there.

- [Blair] No, we

got this, all right.

- It just,

something's not right.

- [Blair] Stay put,

stick with the plan.

- Blair, can you hear me?

Blair?

Blair, Blair.

Hello?

Hello, hello, hello, hello.

Blair, Blair, Blair,

Blair, Blair, Blair.

Sh*t.

Just stick to the plan.

Just stick to the plan.

(dramatic music)

Yeah, we'll stick to the plan.

We're good.

We'll just ah...

Stick to the plan,

and it will be,

you know what, f*** the plan.

(dramatic music)

(birds squawking)

(ominous music)

Blair!

Connor.

(screaming)

Blair, Blair.

(ominous music)

Ow, ow ow ow.

Ow, ow.

(ominous music)

Sh*t.

Blair.

Blair.

F***.

Come on, Blair.

Where the f*** are you?

Blair?

(ominous music)

- Sorry.

- Sh*t, Blair.

F***.

- How did you get in here?

- From the skylight.

- F***.

- Listen, I heard you scream.

Are you okay?

- I wasn't screaming.

- I've been calling you guys.

What are you been doing?

Everything's dead.

- [Blair] I know.

- [Connor] Move, move,

get out of the way.

Come on, hurry, move.

You ready?

- [Riley] Yeah.

(screaming)

(groaning)

- I told you guys it

wasn't gonna work.

- What the f***, man?

You're supposed

to be on lookout?

- What's goin' on?

- We're trying to

find a way out.

But everything's locked

from the outside,

and these locks,

I just never seen

anything like them.

The walls are concrete,

and I was telling the guys

I think the windows

are palladium-

- Palladium plated.

Actually, that means you

can't break the windows.

We're just double checking.

- I know what it means, Connor.

- Don't f***ing

start with me, man.

All right?

I've got this under control.

- [Ollie] What

about calling out?

- Nothing works.

Cell phones, walkie,

everything's,

there's no signal.

- This is really

f***in' bad, man.

Ah, Goddamn, I think

I broke my ass.

- You got a gun?

- [Riley] Yeah.

- Well let's use it.

- What?

- [Connor] Get out of the way.

- No, no no.

- [Connor] Get out of the way.

(gunshot)

- Ah f***, Riley.

Sh*t, what are you...

(gunshot)

Ah, stop.

- [Blair] Sh*t.

- [Ollie] Just stop.

(gunshots)

- Look.

- [Ollie] Ah, sh*t.

Yeah, that's ah,

that's palladium.

- Riley, you're a f***ing idiot.

- Man, just say what?

- Don't talk to

my crew like that.

At least he's doin' something.

- Have you tried playing dead?

- I gotta show you somethin'.

(ominous music)

- Blair, I don't get it.

I mean, there's

nothing in this house.

Why would anyone

keep it on lock down?

- It gets worse.

(ominous music)

- Great.

What, we gonna pay

Timmy Song back

with with a 200 dollar TV?

(ominous music)

So he's into

low-budget slasher flicks.

Really, really big

special effects budgets.

Same place.

- Same place.

Ollie, I'm really scared.

- Blair.

- Let's get out of here.

- I was gonna say I'm

really scared too,

but yeah, let's get

the f*** outta here.

How can Conner's

inside not know this?

Hey.

He had an inside, right?

That's what it

said in the plans.

- No, he lied on the plans.

There's no inside.

Sh*t.

(ominous music)

- Connor!

- [Connor] Sh*t.

- It's all your f***in' fault.

(groaning)

(gun clicks)

- Sit down.

- You can't punch the leader.

- You are not a leader, okay.

You're a f*** up.

You've always been a f*** up.

- I need you to calm down.

Okay, we need to

figure out a plan

before that sick

f*** comes home.

- What about the skylight?

- That's like 25 feet up.

Even if we stand on each

other's shoulders circus style,

we won't be able to reach it.

- We tried that already.

- Text.

- I thought you said

the signals are blocked.

- I'll just ah, hit send and

throw it to the skylight.

- It's a signal jammer, okay.

We find the jammer, we kill

it, then we call for help.

Look, it's a new

plan guys, all right.

You guys, you sweep this

are out here for the jammer,

Blair and I will

take the bedroom.

- You don't tell me what to do.

- Can you wait for me?

(sighs)

Riley.

- [Riley] Yeah.

- Hey.

I need you with us, okay.

We gotta find that jammer.

- He's right.

- [Blair] No.

- I'm a f*** up.

- No, you're not.

We all make mistakes.

Look at me, I'm in deep

with Timmy Song, right.

- I will never let him near you.

Okay?

Ever.

- I know you won't.

Good?

- Yeah.

Riley and I will

sweep this area.

- [Blair] Thank you.

- Can I have my gun back?

- [Blair] No.

- [Connor] Come

on, just, come on.

- You guys know what a

jammer looks like, right?

- [Riley] Does it

have like a fan on it?

- F***.

I knew he'd find a

way to f*** this up.

He always does.

He has not changed at all.

- Ollie, can you

please just stop?

He's still my brother.

- [Ollie] It's not in here.

- What the hell?

I already checked there.

- What?

- Nothing.

(dramatic music)

- Dude, I'm just sayin',

don't let 'im talk

to you like that.

F*** 'im.

No, seriously, you say the word,

I'll clan his ass, son.

- Don't worry about

it, all right.

I need you to focus.

Come on, Riley.

Help me out.

There's not even any f***in'

silverware in this place.

- Oh no.

- What?

What is it?

- There's no beer.

- What the f***

is wrong with you?

Oh sh*t.

Come on, come on.

- Oh sh*t.

- [Connor] Blair, Ollie.

- Did you find it?

- No.

The skylight is sealed shut.

- [Ollie] How did you open

it in the first place?

- It was already wide open.

I just went through.

- Us too.

- He's back.

- Yeah, well we

got a f***in' gun.

Why don't we use it?

- There's only one bullet.

- Riley, how many

bullets did you bring?

- Well, you only need one bullet

to take 'em out, right?

- Technically that's true.

So here's the plan.

- No way.

Guns and Riley don't mix.

- Will you stop

insulting my crew?

- You guys, no new plans.

We stay together,

and we find the jammer, okay.

- Where?

We already checked everywhere.

- Not everywhere.

- Damn it.

I got nothing.

- That's because

it's not down here.

- Shhh!

- Blair, give me the gun.

- No.

- Well then give Riley the gun.

- [Riley] My gun.

- [Connor] Yeah, it's his gun.

Now look, I'm making an

executive decision here.

We're gonna go after

this sick f***,

and we're gonna take him out.

- Are you f***ing kidding me?

We just saw what

he's capable of.

I'm not going after

him with one bullet.

- Blair.

I found something.

(ominous music)

I bet you the

jammer's down here.

- [Riley] No.

Ah.

Mm-mmm, mm-mmm.

- [Ollie] Ah, that's right.

You're claustrophobic.

- [Riley] F*** claustrophobia.

Dude, you never

ever go into a dark

underground layer.

- [Blair] That's

the smartest thing

I've ever heard you say.

Ever.

- [Connor] Stop

insulting my crew.

- [Blair] I was

complimenting him.

- [Riley] I what you doin'.

Thank you.

- [Ollie] Riley, you

want your gun back?

- [Riley] Yeah.

- [Ollie] You can have
