(TOM LAUGHS) What?

- Come on.

- Did you pull my hair?

No.

Hurry up.

Scared?

TOM:
Aw.

- We're not lost, by the way.

- Oh, really?

But if we were...

it's not either of our faults.

- (CAR HORN BLARING)

- (WINGS FLUTTER)

Tom...?

(HORN BLARING)

(HORN BLARING)

Tom?

(BLARING STOPS)

(TOM WHISPERS)

Come on, get in. Hurry up.

Hurry up. Come on, come on. Get in.

- (BLARING RESUMES)

- F***ing hell.

- Keys aren't in the car.

- What do you mean?

They're not in the car.

- They're not in your pocket?

- No, they're not in my pocket.

They have to be around here, then.

- (BLARING STOPS)

- They have to be here.

If you say you left them in the

car, then they have to be here.

(BLARING RESUMES)

- F***ing hell.

- Tom! God.

- F***, there they are.

- Were they there all the time?

No. I don't know.

TOM:
Ahem.

I don't know why

I was so scared there.

You were scared there as well.

(CHUCKLES) I see you were.

Huh?

You were quite...

At the time,

I thought someone like,

was gonna to be

sitting at the bush,

waiting for me or something,

jumping out.

I must have taken the keys

out of the car

when I jumped out or something,

or how could they have got there? I

swear they weren't in my pocket.

We're not lost.

We're in a f***ing maze.

Was that there before?

- What?

- The sign on the door.

Who cares?

(BUCKLE CLICKS)

No. Lucy. Lucy.

Lucy.

Lucy.

- What is that?

- It's a map.

Of what? What does it say?

It's in case of a fire.

There's a track through the

forest back to the main road.

Right. Let's go. Lucy.

Lucy?

TOM:
Come on. It's nothing.

- Lucy?

- I'm coming. Wait.

I'm coming.

Which way, left?

Lucy, left?

Yes, it'll be on the left.

Just give me the map

for two seconds.

Um...

Yeah. Good.

So if we get reception

on the main road,

we should just phone them

and just say...

just say send someone down

to show us the way.

What are you talking about?

Well, if we can phone them, at least

maybe they can come pick us up.

Huh?

What? What's wrong?

Tom, I do not want to have to go

past that cabin again.

LUCY:
This is it.

- (CAR THUMPS)

- (TOM SIGHS)

TOM:
Sh*t.

- LUCY:
Oh, f***.

- (TOM SIGHS)

(RAIN PATTERING)

TOM:
We can't go this way.

(TOM SIGHS)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(FAINT CRACK)

(CRACKLING)

LUCY:
Something's wrong!

Tom, slow down.

Tom, stop. Stop. Tom!

Give me the map.

LUCY:
Just don't know what

the f*** is going on.

I mean, a 50-foot

f***ing tree falling?

TOM:
We're just getting ourselves

in a panic, and it's stupid.

LUCY:
Just don't know

what the f***'s going on.

- LUCY:
My God, we...

- What? It's just branches.

Well, have I got loads of...

have I got room on that side?

I don't know.

- Huh?

- No.

- What?

- Kind of.

Well, do I have room or not?

What? Lucy, look out that side.

- I'm... f***!

- I'm just asking.

No, it's okay. I don't know.

It's f***ing tiny, okay?

Well, all you've got to do

is look out the window.

I'm just asking you to help.

(TOM GROANS)

There's another sign.

"Kilairney House Hotel."

- (LUCY SCREAMS)

- What?

- Tom!

- What are you doing?

Tom, there's

someone standing there.

- Where? What?

- Back there.

- There is someone there.

- All right.

- What are you doing?

- Well, if there's someone standing...

- No! No, Tom!

- No, I'll go back.

- Tom, f***ing stop!

- Look, if there's a guy there,

I'll ask him if we're

going the right way.

If there's not someone there,

you'll be happy.

Where? Where is he?

(RUSTLING)

It's a scarecrow.

It's just your imagination

playing tricks.

- I really need to go for a piss.

- Now?

I'll be quick. I'm the

fastest pee-er in the world.

You're trying to prove a point.

I'm going to wet myself.

Be two shakes.

(WIND WHISTLING)

(WIND GUSTING)

(THUMPS)

(PANTING)

- What?

- Tom!

Turn the lights off!

Tom, there's someone behind you!

What?

(FAINTLY)

There's someone behind you!

Turn the lights off!

(FAINT SCREAMING) Tom!

Turn the f***ing lights off!

Tom! Tom!

- What is wrong with you?

- Tom, there was someone there.

Can't I just take a quick piss?

What you doing?

- You didn't see them.

- What?

There's no one there!

Lucy, we've just had that moment

with the scarecrow.

My door slammed, and then there was

someone there when I

turned the lights on again.

Your door slammed?

What, so your door opened up?

No, your door slammed.

My door was closed.

Your door slammed.

Well, I didn't hear anything.

You're scaring me, honestly.

Tom, I'm scared.

He was wearing a white mask.

There was no face.

I couldn't see his face.

Or he had his face painted

or something. I don't know.

LUCY:
Could it have been

one of those men we saw?

Why would you say that?

What happened in the pub?

I've told you.

TOM:
What the...?

Ah, that's really weird.

They're mine.

- No, they're not.

- Yes, they are.

- It can't be your clothes.

- No, they're my clothes.

- (CAR DOOR OPENS)

- LUCY:
Wait, no. Tom, leave it.

Be two shakes.

- That's yours?

- Yes! It's all mine!

This doesn't make sense.

I mean, we've been

with the car the whole time.

- Why is this happening?

- I don't know, Lucy.

What do you mean?

Why are they doing this to us?

TOM:
Why would I know?!

(TOM SNORTS)

(LUCY SIGHS)

Whew.

(SIGHS)

Are you f***ing with me?

(TOM CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

Why would you say that?

(TOM SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

(TIRES SCRAPE)

- What are you doing?

- I'm stopping.

No point in going on.

I don't know where we're going.

There's no signs...

and the petrol's low.

May as well just sit here

until we can see something.

(SIGHS) Ahem.

(CAP RATTLES)

Right. Let's play a game.

You ready?

- What?

- Let's play a game, okay?

You have to answer straightaway.

Whatever I say, you have

to answer straightaway

or else it doesn't count, okay?

Okay.

Pink or blue?

Blue.

A sofa or a... or a seat?

- Sofa.

- Running or walking?

Walking.

- Bare feet, shoes?

- Bare feet.

Naked or clothed?

Naked. Clothed.

Ah, eh... you said, "naked" first.

I changed my mind.

A knife or a fork?

Come on. You have

to answer straightaway.

Okay...

gun or a knife?

I know something happened

in the pub.

(THUMPS WHEEL)

Yep.

- Tell me.

- No, that's it.

Tell me. Tell me about the barman.

Maybe you did something to him.

Could be what you didn't do to him.

Could be what you didn't do to him.

- F*** you.

- Where you going?

I'm cold. I'm getting a coat.

(TAPS TRUNK LID)

(LOCK CLICKS)

(SOBBING)

You okay?

No, not really.

You okay?

Yeah. I just don't know

where we're going.

You building a nest?

Yeah.

(LUCY SCREAMING)

(TOM SCREAMS) Stop! Hey!

- (LUCY SCREAMING)

- TOM:
Stop! Hey! Hey!

Tom!

LUCY:
Oh, God!

- Oh, God!

- Stop!

TOM:
No!

- Get in! Go!

- (SCREAMING)

- (YELLS)

- Tom!

(LUCY WAILS)

What the f*** is going on?

LUCY:
What the f***?

What the f*** is going on?

- (SCREAMING)

- (YELLS)

(YELLING)

- Oh, did I...

- Tom, no.

TOM:
He hit the car.

He hit the car.

He definitely hit the car.

He hit the side of the car.
