Yeah, but how are we gonna

find this place?

Where's your sense

of adventure?

Let's go.

This is bullshit.

What?

This way.

How do you know?

See these branches?

They're bigger on this side.

They get more sun.

Less stress from the north wind.

It means they point south.

Come on.

How much further is it?

Dad?

Hey, should we really keep going

if we're not sure

where we're headed?

You got a better idea?

This is the right way.

I know I'm right.

Come on.

Come on.

Keep an eye out for the cabin.

We should be getting close.

I know it's here somewhere.

Come on.

Hey, wait, wait--

wait a minute.

What?

Shut up.

What?

Can you not hear that?

Well, what was it?

I just-- shouldn't we go

and check it out?

It's gone.

Come on.

We should go

and find them, no?

Come on.

I know.

Try not to think about it.

Look!

Finally! Yes!

Told ya!

Brad!

Dad!

Bradley!

Dad, get me out!

Caleb, stay back!

Get off the ice, now!

Hello! Hello!

Dad...

Come on.

I got you guys some blankets.

You gotta--

you gotta make a fire!

Get them off!

Here, here...

I can't...

See if you can find

some matches.

Come on, Caleb, hurry up!

I'm so cold.

Look over there.

Hurry up!

Matches, matches...

Get your hands up.

Oh, here!

Here they go.

It's working.

It's working, it's working!

I got...

Why would anybody want

to live all the way out here?

Um...

Well, people

mostly use it

for hunting

or ice fishing or something,

and you can leave it

in the same shape you found it.

We'll have to chop up

some more wood before we leave.

When will that be?

I don't know.

I f***ed up.

I f***ed up.

It's okay.

We're having fun.

I thought I was gonna lose you.

I thought I was gonna lose you.

Dad, it's okay.

Dad...

Dad?

Uh...

J-just come back to the fire.

You don't have...

It's okay. I just--

i just need to sleep.

I can't lose you guys.

I just can't.

Was this your card?

No.

Yeah, it was.

Okay, one second.

How about this one?

Was it that one?

What?

What is that?

I don't know.

Brad?

Wh-what is it?

Dad!

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

What?

Dad!

Hey!

Jesus Christ!

Whoa!

Who the f***--

who the f*** are you?

Look, does he know

what he's doing?

Yeah, you're fine.

Dad...

Whoa!

What the f***

you doing here?

Hey, hey...

Hey, you talk English.

What the hell you doing here?

Look, we've been

out here hunting

for three days, all right?

We tried to leave earlier,

but we couldn't get

the truck out.

Hey, Brad, get their guns.

Brad, get their guns now!

Put them in the back room.

It's okay.

It's okay. Just...

So where's your truck?

On the access road,

just around the cabin,

down that trail.

I don't--

look, I'm Richard.

Okay? This is Luke.

Stop talking French, okay?

Hey! Parlez anglais,

s'il vous plat.

He's-- he just said

we were here first, okay?

We can share.

It'll be all right.

Listen to your son, okay?

It's not even

your f***ing cabin, man.

We can't just leave them

out there. It's freezing.

What are you boys

doing up here, anyway?

He was teaching us to shoot.

Yeah?

Are you okay?

He fell through the ice.

It was crazy.

No sh*t. Have some of this.

Soothe your throat.

Are you out of

your f***ing mind?

They're kids.

Hey, man, relax.

I'm just tryin' to help.

You go over there

in the corner and relax.

You boys go in the back room

and get some sleep.

We're not tired.

Now.

Man, we just--

you want some of this?

You all right?

When are we leaving?

I don't know.

I'm starving.

Here.

Here. Just to be safe.

What do you think they want?

What do you mean?

Come here. Tell me

what they're saying.

Uh, they're talking

really fast.

Something about their truck.

Maybe just getting their truck.

Where'd you learn

how to speak French?

School.

I hate French class.

All right. Go lie down.

Hey!

Where's-- where's my dad?

I don't know.

I got up, and he was gone.

Well, where you going?

I'm just gonna go see if i

can get this truck outta here.

Can I come with you?

Ah, nah.

Look, I think

you should stay here.

How's your brother?

He's still--

he's still asleep.

Good. Well, just keep

that fire going,

and I'm sure your dad

will be back soon, okay?

Breaker 1-9, come in.

Breaker 1-9, anybody home?

Breaker 1-9, anybody there?

Hello?

Anyone there?

Do you read me?

Do you copy?

Do you copy?

Repeat back.

Do you copy?

F***.

Holy sh*t!

You scared

the hell outta me.

What are you doing?

Just tryin' to get

this thing outta here.

You want to give me

a hand?

Do you mind

giving it some gas?

All right, go for it.

Whoa, whoa! Easy!

What are you doing?

You all right, man?

Look, why don't you

try pushing, huh?

All right.

Hey, man. Look, we're gonna

get your kids outta here.

Okay? I promise.

All right?

Everything's gonna be okay.

Just...

Just give it a push.

Hello?

Hello? Hello. Can...

Listen, can you hear me?

We're stranded out here.

We got some kids here

that need help.

We're on a logging road--

what's your location?

About 50 miles...

What the f***?

You're gonna--

you're gonna--

you're gonna take them away.

What?

Look, it...

Can, um...

Luke!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Hey!

I don't wanna hurt you!

Luke!

Shh!

What the f***!

What the f***!

Stop. Stop.

Luke! Luke!

Ugh! What the f***

is wrong with you?

Please stop. Please stop.

Get off! What the f***?

Get off me!

Stop it! Stop it!

Aah!

Stop! Stop! Stop it!

I don't wanna hurt you!

Help!

Stop!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Look at that!

Okay, put it in the pile.

What?

He should be back.

Maybe I, uh--

i go check on him, okay?

Well, should I come too?

No, no, no.

Here.

You wait here,

all right? Okay.

Hey, man.

Hi.

Where's everybody at?

It's just us.

Dad's been gone

all day.

Where'd he go?

I don't know.

He's okay, right?

Richard?

Caleb, wait!

Wait! Wait!

Dad! Dad, where are you?

Da--

Hey. Come here.

What happened?

Caleb, come here.

Come here.

Come on. Come here.

Hey.

This thing could feed us

for weeks.

Here. Just hold that.

Hold that.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Richard, where is he?

I don't know

what you're saying.

He's not at the truck.

He should be back.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, go back inside

of the house.

Is he at the cabin?

Uh-uh.

You do something to him?

My English,

you don't understand.

Go inside, everything's fine.

Just go back to the house.

No, you're coming with me.

Everybody come with me.

They're not gonna come with you.

You're outta

your f***ing mind!

What--

dad, you--

stop, dad!

Luke, run!

Dad, don't shoot!

Get off. Get off!

Dad, stop!

Get back to the house.

Now!

Caleb, come on!

Come on, Caleb! Come!

Do you think he's okay?

Where's the other guy?

What was he talking about?

I was trying to scare them off.

- Okay?

- Okay.

I'm trying to keep you safe,

okay?

Okay.

Just stay here.

They're still out there

somewhere.

Give me that bag.

We can't just leave him here.

Look, he doesn't want to leave,
