Gas pedal's

the one on the right.

Where are you taking me?

I told you.

A little motel down the road.

Don't worry, there won't be

anyone there to disturb us.

It's been abandoned for years.

Suit yourself.

We'll be there before sundown.

God, that's annoying.

No! No!

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

Sh*t.

That was new.

I do believe I may ache

a little come the morning.

Awful lot of blood

you got there.

I guess you missed

your femoral artery,

because, frankly,

you'd be dead by now.

I don't think you realize

how much trouble you're in.

Nice knowing you, Mallory.

You're on your own now.

No, no, no.

Please, please. Please.

Please, please, don't.

Where's my phone?

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Please, somebody!

Help!

Help!

Help, I'm down here!

Help!

Somebody help!

Help!

Somebody, please!

Help!

Help!

Help!

I'm down here!

Sh*t!

Don't you want to know

where I've been?

Found a cabin a few miles downriver.

A family place.

No one home,

unfortunately, and no phone.

But by the looks of it,

someone will be back soon.

In the meantime...

How have you been?

Couldn't have been easy,

out here all alone.

I gotta ask.

Why'd you do it?

Drive off the road like that.

Must have had a reason.

Did you think I was

gonna rape you?

You've been reading

too many stories, Mallory.

Let's be honest.

If I wanted to get into

that little box of yours,

I wouldn't have needed to rape you.

You were there.

Ten miles and a smile from

following me into a motel room.

You're wrong.

Am I?

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

I need water. And food.

What do you want?

Let's start with...

A story.

About what?

I don't know.

How about the first time

you got f***ed?

You have been f***ed before,

haven't you?

If you'd rather not...

Wait! Wait!

Theo.

His name was Theo.

Of course it was.

And, where did you

meet this Theo?

On vacation.

When you were...

Seventeen.

Was it just the one night?

And he was older?

What'd he do to you?

What do you think?

Everything.

And you liked it?

Did he make you come?

How many times?

A lot.

You still think about him?

Do you think about him

touching you?

About having him inside of you?

Yes.

Do you touch yourself?

Yes.

No, you don't.

Nice try, though. Really.

You almost had me going.

It was Ella, wasn't it?

Theo, the guy.

That was her story.

You should know

you can't fool me, Mallory.

Boy.

No, no, no, no, please, please!

Sh*t!

You shouldn't just tell people

what they wanna hear, Mallory.

Try being yourself.

Help, I'm down here!

Help!

I'm here, somebody!

Help!

My name is Mallory Rutledge.

Kick back and unwind with

non-stop relaxing music...

Last one, my f***ing ass.

Sh*t!

F*** you.

Okay. Okay.

F***!

Morning, sunshine.

Sh*t.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

Hey, sorry it took me

so long to get back.

Things got a little

crazy at the cabin.

Bill and Sue finally got back

with their son and granddaughter,

and I decided to throw them an

impromptu welcome home party.

You know, I'd have

brought you some cake,

but I didn't think

you'd like it much.

Katie's a sweet kid,

but she isn't much of a baker.

Besides,

looks like someone had a party

of their own last night.

Still, you're learning.

I'm proud of you.

You're starting to fight.

What's in it?

This and that.

You see, I was doing a little work,

fixing that sign you hit.

Making sure no one else would

accidentally end up down here.

Might be there's

something you can use.

In that case...

Give me that, you b*tch!

No...

Sh*t! No!

Let go!

Get the f*** away from me!

God damn it!

F***!

No, Ella!

Help, Ella!

Ella!

Help!

You're too late.

I already called the police.

They know where I am!

No, you didn't.

That's not what your phone says.

What are you gonna do to me?

To you?

Nothing. Not yet, at least.

For now,

I'm just enjoying the show.

Please, just let me go.

Now where would be

the fun in that?

You don't get it,

do you, Mallory?

No one is coming to save you.

You're on your own.

If you want out,

you're gonna have to get yourself out.

Now, as much fun as this has been,

I really should be going.

Get back before my

hosts start to wonder

who's been eating

their porridge.

No, please! Please!

I guess I can give you one more chance.

All depends how far

you're willing to go.

And what you're willing to do.

Anything!

Are you sure?

Well, okay then.

Let's see what we have.

My God. No.

What are you...

What are you gonna do?

Me? Nothing.

It's for you.

What?

The...

That's not gonna

cut through the door.

No, I don't expect it will.

No. No, no, I can't.

I can't do that.

Then you'll die here.

Why are you like this?

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

You must have

been a person once.

You had a family.

A mother.

You had a sister.

What would she think?

Finding out who her

little baby brother is?

Maybe... Maybe

you've already shown her.

Is that it?

Is that what happened?

You found the photograph,

I take it.

That does look

a little like me, doesn't it?

It's amazing what you can

pick up at a garage sale.

You're here for a reason,

Mallory.

It's no more coincidence than

you and I meeting on the road.

And there's only one way

you're gonna get out of this.

You have to

accept responsibility.

Take things into your own hands.

Now, I'd love to stay and chat,

but I've gotta get going.

But I will be back

to say goodnight.

Assuming you're still here.

F***! Sh*t!

F***!

F***.

No.

F***.

Sh*t.

God, thank you.

We interrupt this

program with a severe weather warning.

Drivers are advised to

take alternate routes

where possible due

to severe flooding.

Emergency procedures

are in place.

Stay tuned for

further information.

Now returning to our program.

Help!

Help, I'm down here!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hey, Mallory.

It's me.

Did you actually try it?

Mallory. I didn't think

you had it in you.

Jesus, f***!

What are you smiling at?

Car keys.

Really? That's your plan?

Actually, I was planning

on cutting your throat first,

but I guess a girl

can't have everything.

Ain't gonna do you any good.

F*** you!

I suppose you think you're pretty clever.

There's nobody up there.

The road's abandoned!

Is it?

That's not what I heard!

You're gonna regret that,

I promise you.

Then what the f***

are you waiting for?

God damn it!

God!

Help!

Help!

Standby, all units.

Jesus.

Be prepared to copy

for a missing persons report.

Afternoon, Officer.

Howdy.

Car trouble? You need me

to call for a tow?

You know, I think I got it.

Are you sure?

Believe me, you don't wanna be stuck

out here if this weather gets worse.

You bet.

You wanna give it a try?

Just in case?

I'll do that.

Something the matter?

Would you believe

I locked my keys inside?

It really ain't your day, is it?

Hey, you think

you can give me a ride?

There's a spare set

in the cabin downriver.

The Goldman place?

Yeah, you know Bill and Sue?

Sure. Sure. Yeah, hop in.
