I don't need you, Kris.

I don't. Okay?

Yeah, well, I'm tired

of you weighing me down, Will.

You think you're better than me?

I think I'm trying harder

at life, yeah.

Yeah, and you're

a friendless dickbag.

How's that workin' out for you? Sorry.

I can't hear you over your steroid-jacked

body. Eat your own ass, you...

Enough! My God, the two

of you are unbelievable.

You're brothers.

Brothers.

And what's more than that,

you're adults.

Start treating

each other as such,

or I swear I'm gonna leave

you on the side of this...

mountain.

Adderall?

What?

Why are you carrying Adderall

on our family camping trip?

It's just something I...

Sometimes I, uh...

What, you think this is funny?

I use it to focus, all right?

You have no idea the kind

of pressure that I'm under...

because you never

feel any of that.

Pressure?

No, no, not you, honey.

I swear, okay? It's

never you. It's just...

It's my life.

But I am your life.

I'm a part of your life.

And if you're keeping me

separate than the other parts,

I don't...

I-I-I don't need it, okay?

It's not that bad.

I swear. It...

It's just been hard lately.

Okay?

Look.

Okay?

Uh, you might not wanna do that.

We are on the side of a

mountain, and you... Never mind.

How long?

How long have you been...

A while.

A while.

Well, uh...

Brit, will you just...

Good night, Will.

Good night, Brit.

Oh, that was liquid fire.

Kris?

Where'd you get that?

It's, uh, Baba's relief...

relief... relief bottle.

Found it in a nightstand.

So, uh, Adderall, huh?

Drop it.

Who's your dealer?

Is it, uh, old

crazy lady Vanderbuilt...

across the street from Baba's?

Yes.

If it gets you

to stop talking, then yes.

That wrinkly old broad's

got the best sh*t.

I can't believe it.

I think you just laughed

a little bit.

You must be hearing things.

Is... Is that it again?

No. Must be

hearing things.

Kris. Kris, get up.

Listen.

It's getting closer.

Go back to sleep.

It's the same pattern.

Three knocks.

Every time.

Where's Will?

Will!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Will!

Will!

What the hell's going on?

You f***ing crazy?

Hey!

I, uh...

I, uh...

- I think you just grazed me.

- Guys.

F***.

Hey.

- Emma.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, sh*t.

- Grab on to me.

You're gonna be okay, all right?

Put pressure on the wound.

Will, what the hell

were you thinking?

You can't just fire

your f***ing gun.

Emma, look at me.

I heard something.

Grab my hand. Emma.

Emma, look at me.

I heard something.

- Will!

- - He's in shock.

Go get him. I'll take her to the

car and drive her to the hospital.

There's no hospital.

He didn't just graze you,

believe me.

Will!

Oh, sh*t.

Will!

Emma.

Emma, don't do that.

You got to stay awake

for me, okay?

We're gonna get you to a hospital,

and they're gonna fix you up.

Okay? You just got to stay awake.

They won't... They won't

let... Pete... They won't what?

- Oh, thank God.

- A car.

No, no, no, wait.

They can help us.

Don't. No.

They'll get us to a hospital. Okay?

There is no hospital.

They'll take us to a town

where there is a hospital.

They'll kill me if I leave,

and then they'll kill you.

Believe me.

Okay. Just give me

your jacket.

Don't talk.

Don't say anything, okay?

I'll talk.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Evenin', ladies.

Everything all right?

Yeah. We're just

heading in for the night.

Showing my guests here

some trails. Uh-huh.

Didn't happen to hear

gunshots out there, did you?

Was that...

Is that what that was?

You sure you're okay, Em?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine,

thank you. I'm good.

You're sittin' in the

backseat just because?

I, uh, think I...

I think I just had

a few too many to drink.

Responsible.

Good girl.

Well, how about you let

me take you two back home?

We're okay, sir.

Thanks any...

We just want you

to get home safe.

Oh, Kris, if you could see this.

Will!

Will!

Will!

Quite big. Quite a lot of fur.

Definitely didn't hit him.

Definitely didn't hit him.

Ohh. What was I thinking?

Will!

Will!

It was a Red Purge.

They didn't stand a chance.

Nobody... Nobody turned on

anybody. They couldn't get out even.

Even if they tried, they just...

they didn't stand a chance.

Will.

The Wild Man.

No!

Let me go!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hey, Pete.

Um, I was thinkin'.

You know that park ranger

that works across the lake?

Sorry.

Can't we just use her

and let the kids go?

Yeah. You know what,

Curtis? That's a great idea.

Why don't we kill everyone

that stumbles into Tendale? Huh?

No, no. How about that driver

that brings in the groceries?

Or, you know, what about

that nice, little family...

that bakes those cookies

for the coffee shop?

Huh?

Think before you talk.

The Bigfoot book says that

sometimes they whistle...

and sometimes they, uh...

they like to knock on wood.

Shut up, Will.

No. Seriously, I'm just...

I'm just sayin', okay?

You just gonna listen. You

gonna stop. You gotta listen...

This is Emma's radio.

Hello?

Hello?

Curtis, what the hell did I say about

you playin' on that goddamn radio?

It's not me.

We'll go ahead anyway.

We're startin'.

You may wanna get inside.

Here we go.

Shan!

Shan?

No. No. No!

Brit.

Well, then where is she, Will?

- You all right?

You seem a little... - I'm fine.

- You sure? 'Cause...

- I said I'm f***ing fine.

Okay?

I got this.

We go to the B & B,

we grab our sh*t, we grab Brit,

and then we get

the f*** out of here.

Let me go.

I haven't walked a foot near that

red line. Not many people have.

You need a green ticket.

Of course...

some, they send their kids.

And if they're good,

they will grow up...

and they will send

more people like you...

for more people like us.

Don't you understand?

F***... you.

The Gods are gonna love you.

No.

Please!

No!

Help me!

What part of "keep an eye on

them" don't you understand?

You know there's

a process to this.

They weren't sent by

anybody, so they get out.

As usual.

But I do...

You wanted out.

I know.

It's all right.

You wanted out, and you thought

those kids were your opportunity.

But there are

no opportunities left.

Not for you.

Are you stoned?

They're not gonna leave here without

the girl. We have to kill them.

If we do, more people will come

looking for them. You said so yourself.

But if we let them go, they'll bring

this whole thing crashing down on us.

We're f***ed.

You're the one who started this

mess. You drew 'em a f***ing map.

I thought they were sent to us. Christ.

Hey. If we're

screwed either way,

then it doesn't matter

if they live or die.

We can let 'em go

and do the right thing.

What exactly is

the right thing, Curtis?

Uncle Hank, I'm... Shut up.

Shut up and let me f***in' think!

The Aussie.

The girl. And now

the two brothers.

That's four tickets

out of Tendale.

Now, we have sacrificed

enough for this town.

I want my ticket.

What about the Aussie

girl? The one you let go?

You watch that

f***in' mouth of yours.
