Figured maybe this weekend.

He'll make a great dad.

Well, hope he thinks so.

Hey, guys, some dumb chick left

her make-up on the sink in there.

Think it was

the good sh*t, too.

Where is everybody?

I don't think I ever realized

just how quiet the outdoors is.

I guess.

I like it.

Are you gonna park your car or are

you just gonna leave it at the pump?

Oh, no, I'm not moving my baby

until I get some gas in her.

She's so bone-dry, I don't think I

could even turn the engine over.

You won't be the first person

today with that thought.

They left their keys

in the car.

Well, they'll probably

be back then.

No, the engine

was still running...

Tank's empty

and the battery's dead.

That's weird.

Yeah, that kind of seems

to be the catch word of the day.

Y'all checked in?

Not really, no.

Oh, do you need our

credit cards, or...

There's no one there.

What do you mean

there's no one there?

She means there's

no one in the lodge.

Did you check the whole place?

Well, we didn't go

into every room, but -

- there's no one in the lobby, or

the dining room or the bathrooms.

Yeah, and we called out like 100 times,

there was nobody in there.

Told you.

Maybe they all went out

on a group hike... or something.

And left no one behind.

There's a woman's purse

in there.

I mean, women don't just leave

their purses to go on a hike.

There's gotta be

an explanation for it.

Well, they knew

we were coming, right?

Yeah, I made a reservation.

But it was over the internet.

That's not the

strangest part of it.

There's food set out... on the table

in the dining room and it's all cold.

Looks like people were right in the

middle of a meal or something.

Okay... A littlefreaked out now.

Where's Charlotte?

Oh, um, she's still in the bathroom,

she's not feeling too hot.

I'm gonna go check on her.

Guys, what do you say

we try and stay calm?

There's gotta be a logical

explanation for this, right?

Maybe there was a fire at one of the

cabins, or there was an emergency -

- and everyone went to help.

Something along those lines.

Somebody could have gotten hurt,

and they called an ambulance -

- maybe a bunch of people followed

the ambulance into town -

- and the rest are here,

at the accident site.

Yeah, we didn't see any emergency

vehicles on the way up.

No, but they could have been coming

from the opposite direction -

- there's a town at both ends, maybe

that one's closer than Preston.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I'm just saying, let's take our time and really

look around before we jump to conclusions.

That's all.

- I'll check at the lake.

- Yeah, I'll go with you.

Okay.

You guys want to check out the cabins that

way, and Tracy and I will check these out -

- and then we'll meet

in the middle.

All right.

Ella and I will stay here, just in

case someone comes back to the lodge.

Perfect.

Anybody have cell service?

No.

-I don't.

- I left mine at home.

I don't even own a phone.

That's normal.

Uh, okay, um... if you find

somebody, yell.

All right? Hopefully sound

travels. Yeah?

Okay-dokey, then.

See you soon.

See ya'.

Baby? Charlotte?

Sam. Agh!

Oh, baby, I'm sorry.

God, I think I just lost

a year of my life.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Charlotte, where were you?

I went to find some more paper

towels. I threw up again.

Why didn't you just

throw up in the toilet?

Because I was sitting

on the toilet.

That's what the stuff

on the floor is.

What did you think it was?

I don't want to tell you.

What?

I don't want to tell you.

What the hell did you think it was?

I thought that maybe

you melted or something-

- I don't know, okay, look,

I'm sorry -

- my imagination is getting

the better of me.

Oh, I see.

I wasn't in the bathroom,

so you assumed I had melted.

Can we not talk about this?

Okay.

You didn't already take those

mushrooms we brought, did you?

- No, no, I did not.

- Because you shouldn't take them without food.

Can we drop it? Hm?

I'll never mention it again.

You're not allowed to watch

The Wizard of Oz anymore.

You are very funny.

Can I help?

Yeah, can you go to the kitchen and see if

you can find some actual cleaning supplies?

Yeah, where would

I look for 'em?

Under the sink, maybe?

Hello?

It's always been

a really nice place.

I mean, it's remote,

but that's part of the charm.

Hello.

Anybody hurt?

We're here to help.

Hello?

Hello?

Well, this place is just as

empty as the other two.

Well, not completely.

There was a fire here recently.

We should check the bedroom.

Yeah, they're gonna be pissed

if we walk in on a nooner.

Well, somebody is staying here.

Hello?

We're not here to rob you, we just

want to know if you're still alive.

Yeah, that doesn't sound

like a serial killer.

What?

I'm sorry, what should I say

to bring someone out of hiding?

We have candy.

Free pony rides!

Amelia, stop taking

your clothes off.

Okay, yeah, that'll work.

Anything?

Just a tub full of water.

Well, it doesn't look used.

How can you tell?

No ring, no sud scum...

no people juice.

Ew.

I'm just saying, I don't think

anyone's been in that water.

Well, why would someone

draw a bath and never use it?

I don't know.

I mostly take showers.

Oh, my god.

It's freezing.

It's impossible.

It's way too late in the season for

the lake to be encased in ice.

What could cause this?

I don't know. I mean, the temperature

back at the lodge, it was warm.

Here it' s...

You know what?

I think we're all alone up here.

Yeah.

Jack... come here.

Yeah?

What?

Baby, what happened here?

Is that a boat?

Where?

There, near the center of the lake.

Can't tell.

It looks like it, but I can't see if there's

anyone in... You have binoculars?

Yeah, I thought I could

get in some bird watching.

- Huh...

- Yeah.

Anything?

There's a fishing pole,

but there's no fishermen.

God, I mean, the ice must have come

up so fast, it trapped the boat.

Like an ice age?

That's just f***ing great.

Oh, my god.

What is it?

There are no birds.

What?

That's why it's been

so quiet here.

I mean, it's been bothering me

since we got here.

There are no birds.

You know, I haven't

seen any bugs, either.

Well, that's not that unusual.

Insects usually,

overwinter, as pupae.

The pupae, that's what...

Yeah, larvae, they can be found under

rocks or just within the topsoil.

Okay, that, um...

It should just take

a little digging.

You should be able to see something.

I don't see any bugs.

Yeah, me neither.

There's nothing.

There's no insects.

There are no animals here.

At all...

Anything?

Nothing good.

What does that mean?

Find anybody?

No, found some people stuff

in the cabins, but no people.

What does he mean,

nothing good?

Okay, look, we looked all

through the main lodge -

- and looked like the owners live

here, but there is nobody around.

We didn't find anybody, either.

We did find some... things.

Like what?

We're getting the f***
