It Comes at Night Page #3

gonna come home.

I was thinking,

in the meantime...

Maybe, you and I could

go looking at first light.

So get some rest.

- Thanks, dad.

- Sure thing.

Night, champ.

Hey, close the door.

This was bud's room.

I'll take a seat.

- Over here?

- Yeah.

- There's a light.

- Yeah.

- You got it?

- Got it.

Hey...

I want to thank you again, Paul,

for letting us stay here.

It's really some house you got.

Yeah...

Well, thank you...

For the chickens.

Oh, sh*t...

No, Paul, you don't

gotta open that now.

Why? You don't?

- I do.

- Well...

Bud's stash.

Ah-hah.

It's like gold.

Oh, wow, thank you.

- Salud.

- Salud.

Oh, f***...

That's smooth.

So what did you do, will...

Before all this sh*t?

What? For work?

Little bit of everything really,

construction, demolition and...

Then I was a mechanic

for a little bit.

What about you?

I...

Was a teacher...

- Oh, yeah?

- History.

Get outta here.

Yeah, you want to know

all about the Roman empire?

- I'm your guy.

- Yeah, right.

Did you grow up in the city?

No, I...

I went there for Kim.

I chased her there.

Big family?

No, it was just me

and my dad...

My dad was a mechanic,

and then I was an only child.

- You're an only child?

- Yeah.

I thought...

Didn't you say that ya'll

were living with your brother?

Yeah, I mean,

it's technically her brother,

but he felt like my brother,

my brother-in-law, you know?

Un-huh...

I think...

I'm gonna...

Hit the hay.

Andrew?

Andrew...

Andrew, wake up, buddy.

Come on, wake up.

Wake up.

- Where am I?

- Just in another room, buddy.

It's okay, come on,

let's get you back to bed.

Okay?

Come on.

Take my hand.

All right?

You're okay.

C'mon, go to bed.

Dad?

Dad?

Someone's in the house!

Someone's in the house!

- Where?

- Downstairs!

- Where's your mask and gloves?

- In my room.

Go get 'em now!

Hurry!

Oh, f***...

Oh, sh*t!

Stay back.

Oh...

I don't see anything.

What's going on?

- You wait here?

- Yeah, okay.

Let's go talk

in the living room.

What's going on?

Just wait.

It's Stanley, and he's sick.

What?

Honey...

Take Travis

and get Andrew and Kim...

Wait in the living room,

I'm gonna...

Will and I are gonna handle it.

I wanna see him.

Well, you can't.

How do you even know he's sick?

I wanna see him.

No, just stop.

- This is bullshit!

- Hey! Hey!

Bullshit!

Do you want me to be

the bad guy?

I will be the bad guy!

You're not going

in the room, all right?

He is f***in' sick!

Now go to the living room!

Honey, go, take him

to the living room.

I am very sorry, Travis.

Go, please, please.

Now.

I think...

Will and I should

be the only ones

who go outside for a while.

We don't know what made

Stanley sick, it coulda been

an animal, another person,

anything.

Travis...

You didn't go inside the room

before we got there, correct?

Positive.

You just opened the door,

you didn't go in?

I didn't touch the door.

What?

It was already open.

The door was open

when you got there?

Yeah.

- Then who opened the door?

- Yeah.

I don't know, I mean...

- Maybe Andrew?

- What?

Andrew was asleep in our room.

No, he wasn't,

he was in grandpa's...

What are you talking about?

I put him in there

before you both woke up.

Travis, why are we only

hearing about this now?

I don't know.

- When was I supposed to...?

- Back up.

Tell us everything

that happened.

Andrew was in grandpa's room.

He was having a nightmare,

so I woke him up,

and I brought him to your room.

Then I went to the back hallway,

saw the door open,

heard something,

and then I woke everyone up.

Andrew was in the other room?

Yes.

Is that true, baby?

I can't remember.

Did you see Stanley last night?

- I can't remember...

- Andrew...

Think real hard and tell mommy

what you remember.

I can't remember.

How can you not remember?

- Does he sleepwalk?

- No, he doesn't sleepwalk.

This doesn't make any sense,

cause Andrew is barely tall

enough to reach those locks.

You're positive

that the door was already open?

Yes!

How can you be positive?

It was the middle of the night.

You coulda been half-asleep.

- He said he was sure.

- I was wide awake.

I'm positive.

Look, I'm not saying

you're lying, Travis.

It was the middle of the night,

maybe you're not

remembering correctly...

I know what I saw.

I'm sorry, but the door

was open before I got there.

I'm not gonna jump

to any conclusions, but...

Just to be safe, I think that...

We all shouldn't interact

for a day or so.

Dad, I'm sure it's fine.

I'm just taking

proper precautions, okay?

How's that sound?

Does it sound fair to everybody?

Yeah.

All right, will, Kim,

get enough food and water...

Take Andrew and go...

Go to your room and stay there

for a while, okay?

Now.

Okay.

I'm really sorry,

but I just think that

we can't take

any risks right now.

Sarah, Travis,

we're gonna do the same.

- I'll get everything that we...

- I just think that...

- Just please...

- We should probably...

- Let's go.

- Yeah.

I think it's better if we stay

apart for a couple of days.

Okay...

I'm sure everything's

gonna be fine.

Travis...

Come here.

I just want you

to look me in the eye

and tell me that you're...

Telling the truth.

You didn't touch the door?

No.

Okay, did you touch him?

Andrew?

Did you touch him?

Yeah, I mean...

Yeah.

I held his hand and I...

And I brought him to his room.

And you weren't wearing

gloves and mask, right?

I mean, dad...

Why would I wear them

inside the house, you know?

Okay, we're...

We're all going to wash up,

and then we're not leaving

this room.

Okay.

It's okay.

Buddy, you

gotta try to be quiet.

Look at me, just stay quiet.

- We need to leave.

- - I know.

I know.

They're going to hear him.

I know.

Mom...

Mom...

What's going on?

It's Andrew.

- I think he might be sick.

- What?

What are you talking about?

He was crying and

i was listening in the attic.

- They said they need to leave.

- What?

Andrew was crying and Kim said

they needed to leave.

Do you hear anything?

Yeah...

How are you feeling?

What?

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What do you want to do?

We don't have many options.

What does that mean?

If they want to leave,

they're gonna want to take

our food and water.

No, why can't we give them

what's fair,

and take them back

to the house they were at.

Where do you think

they're going if they run out?

You haven't seen people

when they get desperate.

They wouldn't come back here

and put us at risk like that.

We don't know that.

- Come on!

- We don't know these people.

We don't know if any of

what they said is even true.

This is the man that tried

to break into our house.

Cause he was trying to get

food and water for his family.

Dad would've done

the same thing.

I don't think

we could take the chance.

I don't think we can risk it.

You don't get it.

If they're sick...

Then I am too.

No, we don't know that, okay?
