No, we don't know that.

We'll be right back.

I want you to stay here though.

You wait here

until we get back, okay?

Okay?

I love you.

- Mommy, my mommy!

- - Mommy's here.

It's okay.

Hello?

Yeah?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, Andrew just had

a nightmare, that's all.

I'm sorry to wake you.

Mind if I come in

and check on him?

It's not a good time

right now, Paul.

You said it yourself,

we shouldn't see each other

right now.

I just want to make sure

that Andrew's okay.

I know, it's just

everything that's been going on.

It's been a lot.

Yeah, I understand,

but I'd feel a whole lot better

if I could just come in,

and take a look at him,

that's all.

Do you think I could do that?

Will?

C'mon, will, just...

Be reasonable, man,

this is my house...

I invited you here.

Will, open the f***in' door,

man, c'mon!

Open the door!

Okay, all right...

All right.

I'm sorry...

Where's Travis and Sarah?

They're not...

No, take your hand

off the gun!

Take your hand

off of it right now!

- Take your hand off the gun.

- Okay.

Come in.

And shut the door.

- And go to the corner.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All the way to the corner, Paul,

all the way.

All the way.

Where did you get that gun?

Why's your mask on?

Nobody's sick here,

take it off!

Take it off!

Take the f***in' mask off!

Andrew, keep your eyes

closed for me, buddy.

Okay.

Listen, Paul, I'm sorry, okay?

We appreciate everything

that you've done,

but we want to leave.

We're all packed up.

I know how you are.

But if you go near my wife

or my kid,

I'll end your f***in' life.

Listen...

We just want what's fair.

We want enough food

and enough water,

then we're gonna go,

and you're never

gonna see us again.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

All right, baby, c'mon.

Keep your eyes

closed for me, buddy.

It's okay.

Will, if he's sick...

Shh, quiet.

Quiet!

Okay, all right...

Stay there.

All right, c'mon...

Just move slowly.

- All right

- walk...Don't!

Turn around.

Turn around.

Go!

Go to the stairs.

Okay, baby, be careful...

Hands up.

Just walk down.

- Yeah

- all right?

Okay.

Give the gun to Paul.

Sarah?

We just wanna leave.

- Give the gun to Paul.

- I'm sorry, I can't do that.

- Will, what's going on?

- It's okay, baby.

Don't do this.

Look, Sarah,

we can work this out,

if we both lower our guns.

We just want to leave.

And we want what's fair,

enough for the both of us.

And you'll never see us again.

All right?

- Okay.

- Okay.

How about this?

I'm gonna count to three...

And we both

lower our guns, good?

Yeah.

Okay...

Will?

One...

Two...

Three...

Are we good, Sarah?

Are we good, Sarah?

I just wanna talk...

Paul!

Wait!

Kim, run!

Don't move!

- Where's Kim?

- I don't know!

- Where'd she go?

- I don't know!

See what you did?

Huh?

You see what you did?

See what you made me do?

Stop! Don't!

Please stop!

Just get in the corner!

Move! Move!

Sit down!

Please just let us go!

I promise if you let us go,

you'll never see us...

Stay still!

Just don't move!

All right...

Give me your f***in' hands!

- Oh my...!

- Stop movin'!

C'mon, get up!

Sh*t.

Kim!

- Oh, f***!

- Open the door...

Open the door, Paul.

They're sick.

- F*** you, Paul!

- Shut up!

- Hey!

- F*** you.

- Get up, all of you!

- F*** you!

Please!

Let him go, let him go!

Please just let us go!

Quiet!

Sarah, Sarah, he's coming to.

Okay.

Will, get up.

- Will...?

- Shhh.

Just be quiet...

Will, get up!

Let 'em go!

C'mon, will...

Get up, now!

Don't f*** around, will.

Get on your feet now, c'mon!

You f***in'...!

F*** you!

Mom!

Mom, dad!

Stop it!

Stop!

Stop, please!

Stop it!

F*** you!

Hey!

Kim!

Sarah!

Stop!

I said stop!

No!

My baby!

My baby!

Nooooo!

You killed my baby!

You wanna kill me?

Kill me!

Oh, baby...

Oh, baby...

Travis...

Oh, Travis...

Mom...

Oh, Travis.

Travis, it's okay, sweetie.

You're gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

You can let go.

You can let go.

Travis...
