It Comes at Night Page #2

of a bigger group nearby.

Christ!

I ain't lying to you!

F***!

Ah, f***.

- What's your name?

- Huh?

Your name?

What's your name?

Will.

Okay, will...

There's a mask and gloves

in the bag.

You better put them on.

And wash

your f***ing hands, too.

F***!

Oh, f***...

- Anything?

- No, nothing.

I gotta check the other guy.

We gotta be quick.

- Spare in the trunk?

- Yeah.

How you doin'?

Hey, Stanley?

How you doin', buddy?

- Mom!

- What?

Mom, it's dad!

It's dad, he's back, he's okay!

Slow down.

Hey...

Come on, it's okay.

Hey.

- Hello dad.

- Are you okay?

Yeah, we had a little trouble.

Talk to you about it later.

Sarah, Travis...

This is will...

His wife, Kim,

and their son, Andrew.

- Hello.

- Hi.

This is my wife, Sarah,

and my son, Travis.

Hi.

- How you doin'?

- All right.

You doin' okay?

- Yeah.

- Good as can be.

All right, well...

Let's get everything unloaded,

and show you the house.

- Maybe have a wash-up.

- Yeah.

When we're inside the house,

the door to the back room

stays closed and locked,

the one you came through.

And the door leading

to the back room

also stays closed and locked,

all the time, the red door.

I have the keys,

the only set.

Or Sarah will have them.

It's the only way

in and out of the house.

Everything else you see

is all boarded up.

Most important thing,

we never go out at night,

unless it's

an absolute emergency.

Even when we do go out

during the day,

we like to stick

to groups of two

just for safety,

you know, collecting

wood or water, whatnot.

Same thing goes

for trips to the bathroom,

which is a ways from the house.

At nighttime, we use buckets

and empty them...

We can talk about that

another time.

Firearms?

We keep them

locked and squared away

in a safe in our room.

We'd like to do the same

with yours, just for now.

Thank you.

And meals we eat together,

twice a day,

just for the sake

of food rationing, I guess.

Everybody cleans

their own dishes,

and generally puts things away

where they belong.

It's just the way

we like to run things,

and we think it's important

to keep a routine and stay busy.

I'm sure

I'm forgetting a few things.

There's plenty of time

to work out all the details.

Overload...

Well, just settle in and...

We'll get working

in the morning.

And welcome.

That's perfect.

- Thank you.

- Thank you very much.

Welcome, buddy.

He's hiding.

Why you hidin'?

...and he is tall and blond...

Ah yeah?

He's a...He's a surfer.

- He's a surfer?

- That's cute.

Shut up.

There's holes in this story.

(Sound of Andrew playing

with dinosaur toy]

Ow!

Ow...

(Kim laughing]

Terra keeps biting my foot.

Ow!

Terra just bit my toe.

Son of a b*tch.

Tell him to stop biting my toe.

Maybe you could...

Get in the bath.

What?

Maybe you could get in the bath?

Do I smell?

No...

Those subtle hints you drop,

Jesus Christ almighty.

You don't smell great yourself.

You smell like onion soup.

Like French onion soup.

That sounds so good.

You look pretty.

I feel like you just say

that when I look the ugliest.

That's when you need it

the most.

Thanks!

Bud's property extends...

Another half mile this way.

I come down here because

i can see down into the valley,

and see if...

You know, every now and then,

if I see anything.

You wanna come down

with your legs.

It's gonna feel awkward,

but like you're sitting

on the shitter.

You just sit down on it.

No, measure it out first.

Make sure

you have your distance.

Then when you come over the top,

you bring it straight over,

like tomahawk style,

not over the shoulder.

- Straight down the middle.

- Yeah.

- Like that?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Oh!

You're good.

Can I show you a better form so

you don't throw your back out?

The solar I use cause

it gives us some power

to charge batteries and whatnot.

I guess the good news is

we're never going to run out

of firewood.

Such a good swimmer!

Cold water...

I know.

It's freezing!

Yeah.

Yeah.

How old is he?

Five.

You must have had him

when you were pretty young.

Yeah, I guess. How old's Travis?

We should play "buckets"

after this.

You guess who's who!

You gotta close your eyes!

Hey.

Oh, my god!

I'm sorry.

- You scared me.

- Sorry.

Oh, that's okay.

What are you doing up?

Just can't sleep.

I always used to come

into the kitchen

and eat food

if I couldn't sleep.

What about you?

I dunno, I...

I haven't been able

to sleep for a while.

Just some bad dreams.

You can sit down if you want.

You don't have to just...

Stand there.

How long has that been going on?

What?

Not being able to sleep?

Hmmm...

Oh, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know,

for a while I guess.

So...

What are we having?

Uhmmm...

I'm having bread pudding.

And a red velvet cupcake.

And a cookies and cream cupcake.

And like 10 different kinds

of ice cream.

That sounds so awful.

- You don't like cupcakes?

- Nope.

- You don't like bread pudding?

- Un-huh.

Bread pudding?

- What's wrong with you?

- I know, it's weird...

I don't like cupcakes,

cookies, ice cream...

Wow!

At my birthday parties,

my mom used to make me

rice krispy cakes,

instead of actual cakes.

I'm sorry, that's really sad!

I do like some kinds of pie...

- Oh, well, that's good.

- Yeah.

Well, great, I'll keep my...

Disgusting bread pudding

and cupcakes and ice cream

to myself over here.

Keep it over there, please.

Thank you.

How old are you, Travis?

Uhmm...

Seventeen.

Wow...

I wasn't that much older than

you when I first met will.

I should just probably

go to bed.

Okay.

- Good night, Kim.

- Good night.

- I'll see you in the morning.

- Yeah.

Yes, I'll see you then.

Cool.

Whew...

All right.

Here.

I'll take this pile down.

That's cool, huh?

Yeah, sure.

- Thanks, will.

- No problem.

Good people, huh?

Yes...

I like them here.

Just keep it

in perspective, okay?

I don't need to tell you but...

You can't trust anyone

but family.

As good as they seem.

Just don't forget that, okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Will...

It's okay. Just go inside.

- You got your gun?

- Yeah.

What's he see?

Go inside and

I'll take care of Stanley.

- Hey, stop.

- What's he see?

I said go inside!

Stanley...

Hey, settle down!

Travis!

Stanley!

Travis!

Stanley!

Stanley!

- Travis!

- Right here!

What is it?

Stanley's barking just stopped,

and I heard something up there!

What?

What are you doing?

What the hell are you thinking?

- His barking just stopped!

- I don't give a sh*t!

You don't go out

in the woods on your own!

I'm not losing you

over your grandpa's dog!

Travis said

that he heard something.

Where?

Where!

- There.

- You see anything, will?

Nothing.

All right...

Let's get back in the house,

come on, now!

- What about Stanley?

- He knows the woods!

He'll find his way home, hustle!

Now!

Come on, will.

Don't you ever f***in'

do that again.

Yeah?

Hey, buddy...

Mmm...

Listen, I wouldn't worry, okay?

I think Stanley's definitely
