We've been friends

for a really long time.

If you ask, I'll forgive you.

But if you don't...

Look.

Whatever happened...

Tell me why.

Tell me why you did it.

I just...

couldn't help myself. Okay?

Look. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Okay.

Don't move.

Why?

I don't want to get blood on me.

This is far enough.

Whoever's out there

is going to come after AJ.

And the rest of us can go.

They're going

to ask what happened.

So?

Sorry, buddy.

You brought this on yourself.

Poor baby.

No, please. Please!

No, wait! No!

He's taking him.

You ready?

AJ, no!

Oh, my God!

AJ, what are you doing?

Come back!

What's happening?

AJ, he went out there.

He saw the guy,

and he took off after him.

- And you let him go!

- Are you crazy?

Derek tried to stop him.

He said he was going

to kill the guy.

He said help him

or get out of the way.

So you got out of the way?

F*** you, Mike.

You would have done differently?

Yeah. I would've.

I'm not like you. I'm not an a**hole.

What was that? I didn't catch that.

Get in my face and say that.

Guys.

We need to go after him.

F*** that.

No. We need to get out

while we still can.

In the dark? And leave AJ?

AJ could be dead or close to it.

If the killer has him,

that gives us time.

No! We get him back.

No!

F*** AJ.

He made his choice.

Not our problem.

- I'm with you.

- Me too.

AJ, are you out here?!

Wait.

He was bleeding

when he left the house.

There's two sets of footprints.

It's like something's been dragged.

Look. Changes direction here.

That...

That must be where...

There's an old shed about

Thomas, you okay?

I don't trust them.

We need to get AJ.

You go back.

Keep an eye on Derek and Nicole.

Can you handle them?

Yeah.

Good. Lock the door.

Hey, Derek, Nicole.

What do we do if he's there?

Hey, we do what we have to, okay?

I didn't want to say anything

with everyone else here.

But my parents keep

a snowmobile out back.

Ready?

Is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

Watch out!

Mike!

You're okay. You're okay.

You did it.

Sh*t! What do we do now?

I'll take care of it.

Go back and tell the others it's over.

"Made in China. "

Epstein.

Thomas, Derek, Nicole, let me in!

We got him. We got Donner.

Hello?

Hey, why is the door unlocked?

Sh*t!

Kayley! Kayley! Derek!

Anybody!

Nicole?

Thomas?

Thomas, what's going on?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

The flesh has to be living

for it to do me any good.

So I have to keep you alive.

I'm sorry.

This way, more blood stays

in your heart and brain.

Jesus...

Thomas, no.

Thomas, let me go.

I'm your friend.

Talk to me.

We'll get help for you.

I'll get help for you.

Nobody can help me.

Mike! Help!

Help me! No!

I think he has his hands full.

Nicole!

Mike, help me!

No!

Mike. Mike, it was him.

Thomas did all of this.

Mike, help me.

Cut her down.

Mighty Mike.

I don't understand.

Kayley was right.

Donner died a long, long time ago.

But legends are funny things.

Just lying there,

waiting for something,

someone to make them believe.

I created a new Donner.

I always do.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry to bother you, sir.

I'm just out cross country skiing,

and I've run out of water.

Do you mind if I fill up my canteen?

No. Sure. Come on in.

I gave Epstein the hunger.

His girlfriend...

fought it as long as he could.

But the hunger... it always wins.

So...

Brody?

First one's always mine.

Then I let Epstein out of the shed.

Just like a magic trick,

the key part is distracting the audience.

We kill Epstein and then

I finish the rest of you.

That was supposed to be it.

But what Derek and Nicole

did to AJ...

there needs to be some justice.

Nicole, she didn't fight it.

Didn't even try.

When you first get the hunger,

you're like a wild animal.

And all of the civilization

gets stripped away.

So it was all you.

Me?

It was your idea.

I barely mentioned the cabin,

and you were talking about

your friend with a car.

I just followed your advice, Mike.

Put you on the payroll.

So I guess I owe you. Leave now.

Head south over the mountain.

Eventually you'll hit Highway 80.

What you do then won't matter.

Or you can stay and die.

Mike, please help me.

Mike! No!

Let's start.

The first few winters were hard.

I lived like an animal.

With each passing year,

this place grew less wild.

And so did I.

Found an orphanage.

And then foster parents.

I went to school.

And as long as I came back to feed,

I hardly aged.

Practically couldn't be hurt.

It's easy...

new school, let's go camping.

Let's get a houseboat. Let's go skiing.

There's plenty of great getaways

in Donner country.

Don't worry about Mike.

He won't make it.

I always save one to hunt.

You don't have to do this, Thomas.

I know there's a good part of you.

Don't you get it, Kayley?

We all become the thing we hate.

No.

You can choose.

You can't choose not to be hungry.

This will sting.

So will this.

Go!

Mike! Mike, watch out!

Please, don't do...

F*** you!

Okay.

Upstairs. Phones. Phones.

No! No! No!

I know. Me too.

Going to be a short trip.

They're going to take you into town

now for an examination, okay?

One thing, though,

you said there were two bodies

in the cellar?

Yeah.

Because we only found the one.

What?

Don't worry.

I'm sure it will turn up.
