-[gunshot]

-[both whimpering]

Do not f***ing move!

Breathe.

-[Jodi] Uh...

-Hey...

[screaming hysterically]

Please! Shh!

You just got grazed!

You just--

you just got grazed! Stop!

-Shh!

-[sobbing]

I'm gonna let you go.

Do not move.

We move, we're dead.

Okay?

-Okay?

-[whimpers] Mm-hm.

[squish]

[Sara, raspy breathing]

S-she can't still...

[raspy breathing continues]

[sobs]

[raspy breathing continues]

[grunts painfully]

[raspy breathing continues]

[raspy breathing continues]

[breathing stops]

[sobs]

[whimpering]

[bellows]

I'm gonna f***ing kill you!

You f***ing coward!

-I'm gonna f***ing kill you!

-No!

-I'm gonna f***ing kill you!

-Help me!

F***ing a**hole!

F*** you!

[sobbing] F*** you!

[Todd] I'm sorry.

[crow caws]

Are you hit?

Are you hit?!

No.

[crying]

We're gonna die out here.

I'm going to die today.

Look.

Look.

Shots got louder, remember?

Must have been using

a suppressor.

Uh, a silencer.

The silencer lowered

the velocity of the bullet.

Not by much but maybe enough

to make a difference?

So he took it off.

Might've helped a little bit.

But the shots didn't

go through, right?

He can't shoot through.

He can't shoot through.

Army brat.

Hunting family.

I grew up around guns.

Probably an antique.

And he ain't close.

If it wasn't or he was...

they'd have gone through.

How's your shoulder?

[groans]

[sighs] Numb.

Slug's still inside.

Make a fist.

Okay.

If you can do that,

you're okay. Right?

You're okay.

Guys. I can't hear!

[Jodi] What are we

gonna do?

We can't just sit here.

We can't.

-How long's he gonna stay put?

-No reception.

Who's to say he's not

creeping around right now?

-[Keren] No law enforcement

to interrupt.

-[Todd] Waiting to pick us off

-one by one while we sit here.

-[Keren] He set up out here

for a reason.

You said it's been how long

since the last car?

Think about how long

he's been waiting for one.

What are you talking about?

He set up out here

for a reason.

He's means to take

his time with us.

With whoever happens

to come passing through.

Listen, there's a lot

of cover back here.

Hills we could hide behind.

Four of us could break out

at once.

He can't hit us all.

Well, he's damn sure

gonna hit one of us!

I know that!

You don't think

I know that?!

It could be me he hits!

At least I go down knowing

I bought the rest of you

a chance!

Son of a b*tch shot out a tire

on a moving car with an antique!

You wanna run?!

I can't stop you!

But I'm not popping my head

out there for him to shoot at!

Not until

we're out of options.

We drive on the spare.

Floorboards, we stay low.

Wheel's in his line of sight.

You try and steer,

he'll take your hand off.

Another car will come.

C-could be ten minutes,

an hour,

or eight hours,

but one will.

There are two dead bodies

in the road.

They're gonna see them.

I got a signal

over there.

Even if they get--

even if he stops them,

they won't be stuck

where we're stuck.

They'll--

they'll call the police.

The-- the police'll come,

and they'll have guns.

You got a signal there?

[grunts, breathes heavily]

[panting]

F***.

[Keren] Don't.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

-Selfie stick.

-Got it for the trip.

Hey, hey, uh, hold on.

-[beep]

-In case we get something.

[beep]

[female voice]

Welcome to voice activation.

How can I help today?

[chuckles weakly] Okay.

[grunts] Okay.

[breathing heavily]

I got a signal.

-Dial 911!

-[gunshot]

-[Todd panting]

-[Keren] Oh, sh*t!

[panting] F***, f***, f***.

[grunting] F***!

[all breathing heavily]

Give me your phone.

Give me your phone!

Give it to me.

He'll just blast

that one, too.

-[grunts]

-You're not thinking straight!

[grunts angrily]

[grunts] Okay.

We put it in neutral, the SUV.

We stick to this side! Okay?

We nudge it a few feet back.

We got a signal.

[panting]

[grunts]

We're on an incline.

You got a bullet

in your shoulder.

If we stay to this side,

we have no leverage.

It gets away from us,

we're in the open.

We have to try.

Are the keys in the ignition?

Can't put it in neutral without

the keys in the ignition.

It'll break down.

[bellows]

[whimpering]

-[gunshot]

-F***!

F***.

[grunts] Okay...

Okay. [panting]

You're gonna

get yourself killed.

[suspenseful music]

[music stops]

[wind blowing]

[all breathing heavily]

[Todd] On three.

[gunshot]

-[suspenseful music]

-[Todd] Ahh!

[gunshot]

-[gunshot]

-[whimpering]

[Keren] Hurry up in there!

You've gotta get out of there!

Hurry up!

[whimpering]

-[gunshots]

-[Keren] Come on!

[gunshots continue]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Todd shouts in fear]

[all whimpering and panting]

Did you--

[chuckles]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

Did you see him?!

[suspenseful music intensifies]

[music fades]

-[wind blowing]

-[Todd grunting]

Get the stick ready.

He ain't gonna fall

for it twice.

All we need is a second just

to put the car into neutral.

You reach back in there,

you're gonna pull out a stump.

[Keren] Todd?

What?

What are you doing?

-Hey! Todd!

-[gunshot]

[Todd panting]

Lucky son of a b*tch.

Yeah, lucky. [grunts]

[groans]

[grunting]

[whimpers]

[grunting]

F***.

[Eric] Guys.

Guys!

What's the plan?

Hey! What's the plan?!

-[grunting angrily]

-Guys!

Somebody answer me!

What's the plan?

It's not going to work.

You're gonna leave me here,

aren't you?

We're gonna send back help

is what we're gonna do.

Or you--

[coughs]

you could try running over,

move in a zigzag!

[laughing]

What the hell

do you want me to say?!

[laughing]

I'm sorry!

[whimpering]

I'm sorry!

Eric.... I'm sorry.

Keren...

what do you think?

Do you think I should run?

We roll, he starts shooting,

he's distracted,

maybe you have a chance.

I asked what you thought.

I think

we should wait him out.

I think we should allrun!

Yeah, we know.

Jodi, what do you think?

If he were gonna

come down after us,

he w-would've done

it by now right?

[panting] Okay, okay...

Say another car comes.

You don't think he's gonna use

that for target practice, too?

Huh?

How many more bodies is he

gonna stack up out there?

Can you live with that?

Knowing that maybe we could've

stopped him and didn't?

I couldn't.

[panting] I couldn't.

Neutral's a risk.

I know.

But so's running!

And so's sitting here.

Don't pretend it isn't.

We got a signal

three feet back.

If you really want this to stop,

then just say so!

Say so.

Ah, f***.

Never know.

[Todd coughing]

[grunting]

[Todd]

One... two...

[Todd panting]

Three.

[suspenseful music]

[screaming]

[sobbing in pain]

-[Keren] Todd!

-[Jodi] Come on!

-[women grunting]

-[Todd screaming]

Come on, Todd!

[grunting]

[Keren] Get up! We need you!

Go! It's working!

[gunshot]

[screams]

-[Todd groaning]

-[women] No!

-[grunting]

-[Eric] No! No!

-[Keren] No!

-[grunting]

-No!

-[gunshot, clang]

[all whimpering]

-[Keren] Jodi!

-[Jodi] Stop!

-Stop! Don't leave me!
