Nah, it was too fast.

Sorry about all that.

What was that?

What was that all about?

Well, there's a lot of wild

boars round these parts.

They can get pretty nasty.

Anyway...

Sorry to give you such a scare.

Let's get you settled.

Come on.

(CHUCKLING)

You okay?

HAMISH:
Right, here we are then.

Now there's no power,

but no problem.

The miracle of

modern technology, eh?

Can I give you some money

for those beers?

Oh, no, thanks. I'm good.

Oh, good. Because I didn't

bring my Rolex.

(CHUCKLING)

You're a funny boy.

But there's lots of other

things I could steal from you.

(LAUGHING LOUDLY) Gotcha.

Let's go, son.

Well, I'm sure

the rooms are fine.

DAVID:

Let's check out the rooms. Okay.

Oh, we got a queen size!

(ENGINE STARTING)

Thanks, again,

for agreeing to do this.

Mmm-hmm.

It means a lot to me.

And have you thought at all

about me coming out your way?

Uh, I think it

sounds interesting.

Okay.

Well, I mean...

Do you really think you

could give all this up?

I know I'd miss you.

I'd miss you, too.

Good night.

Good night, babe.

(BEER SPILLING ON FLOOR)

David? David!

(SNORING)

(COUGHING)

Seriously?

What? What's up, baby?

You good?

(THUMPING)

Did you hear that?

(THUMPING)

(THUMPING)

(LOUD THUMPING)

(GASPING) David,

David, wake up!

David, wake up! You guys.

Holy f***.

Whoa, whoa, what's going on?

There's something out there.

What do you mean?

(STAMMERING)

The window?

That's why they call

it the woods, babe.

Lions and tigers

and chickens and sh*t.

Hey. Jesus, what's up?

(WHIMPERING) She said she

saw something in the woods.

(LAUGHING)

Okay.

(LAUGHING)

You okay?

I don't see anything.

It's probably

just a wild boar...

No, no. It was not

a boar, you guys.

Maybe just your

overactive imagination?

It was not my

f***ing imagination, David!

We cannot stay here.

Okay, okay. Hey.

Listen, I'll check. I'll check.

You're gonna go

outside right now?

(DOOR RATTLING)

It's locked.

What? What?

DAVID:
It's locked

from the outside.

What do you mean?

Do you have a key?

JENI:
What is going on?

(ROARING)

That doesn't make any sense.

They locked us in here?

They locked us in here?

No, they didn't lock us in here.

That's the only door, right?

What? No.

What is going on, you guys?

You sure he didn't give you a key?

BEN:
No.

DAVID:
That doesn't make

any sense.

All the windows

are barred, yeah?

(GROWLING)

(SHRIEKING)

Ow, f***! Whoa, what was that?

What happened?

(ROARING)

(SOPHIE SCREAMING)

What? What the...

(ALL SCREAMING)

What the f*** was that?

Jesus Christ!

(SCREAMING) Please stop,

please stop!

(SOBBING) Please stop.

It'll be okay. It'll be okay.

(SOBBING)

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Oh, my God. Oh, my God,

it got your ear.

What? Oh, God.

It's okay, we're safe.

We're safe now.

You think it's gone?

(CRYING)

What was that?

I don't know.

(LOW GRUMBLING)

Jesus Christ...

I saw...

Okay, wait. Shh! Quiet.

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Let me out,

let me out, let me out!

Let me out, f***!

Please let me out.

(CRASHING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

DAVID:
Sh*t, let's go!

How the hell are we

getting out of here?

Same way it got in!

Climb out!

Come on, let's go!

(FLESH RIPPING)

My leg!

Close the f***ing door!

Okay, okay, I got it.

(GIRLS SCREAMING)

F***!

F***ing close the door!

Okay, go, go, go, go, go!

(GROWLING)

BEN:
F***!

Come on, man. F***!

SOPHIE:
They locked us in there

so that thing would kill us.

They're assuming we're dead.

What about the house?

Maybe there's a phone or something.

Come on!

Hey!

(GUTTURAL GROWL)

F***!

Guess what.

Hey, over here!

Come on, over here!

What is that...

What is that thing, man?

It can't get in.

(THUMPING)

What is that?

Were you gonna just f***ing leave

me out there? Take it easy.

Where were you?

You okay?

Okay.

Okay, guys.

Come on we gotta find a phone.

Sophie.

Hey.

Sit down.

Come on, sit down.

It's gotta be done, son.

This doesn't feel right, Da.

It's never easy.

Ah, thanks, Ian.

No problem.

Not sure my son has the stomach for this,

after all.

Wouldn't it be easier

just to leave this village?

You don't abandon your home just

because the times get tough.

Round these parts you

fight for what's yours.

By letting innocent people die?

No, Sean, not innocent.

Outsiders.

Now they came here

of their own free will.

We're just giving 'em a little push

in the right direction, that's all.

Hey, Dave,

this is gonna hurt, man.

(WHISPERING)

God...

Should've been enough time, huh?

Seem to have misplaced my watch.

There didn't have to be

four of them.

You knew there would come a time when

you'd have to give us a helpin' hand

rather than stayin' back

where it's safe

and letting other people

do the dirty work.

Yeah, well...

Maybe if you all

hadn't have been so greedy,

and taken all that gold

from its cave...

Well, maybe if we

increase our offerin',

we can buy us some lenience

the next time!

Next time...

This is it.

Oh, my God, this is the symbol that

was on the stone outside of town.

That's it.

It can't be right.

What?

It means...

Tuatha De Danann.

What the f*** does that mean?

Leprechaun.

Come on! Leprechaun?

I'm just telling you

what it says.

Whatever it is, you think that's

what they dug up in that mine?

It wasn't a mine originally,

it was a cave.

But the people in the village took the

gold, that's what Hamish said to us.

Okay, now we're talking

pots of gold?

I know.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

SOPHIE:
This is what happens

when you take its gold.

You have to make amends.

Until the debt has been repaid.

So they put us in this cabin

they locked us in there

to sacrifice us to a leprechaun?

You guys, my earring was gold.

Okay, guys, leprechaun,

Tuatha de, whatever the hell,

killing machine, whatever the f*** it is.

How do we get out of here?

Look, these stones are

like a boundary,

like an ancient warning sign

or something.

SOPHIE:
Maybe the leprechaun won't go

past a certain distance from its cave...

So?

So, if we make it

to the stones...

Then what, the leprechaun won't

go past the stones, Sophie?

Really?

No, that makes sense. That's why the guy

who dropped us off didn't go past them.

We have to get back there.

Jesus Christ.

Where the hell are they?

They got out?

If they're still alive,

that means it hasn't fed!

Let's go!

HAMISH:
In the trucks, now!

(TRUCK DOOR CLOSES)

HAMISH:
Lord, have mercy.

They're back.

What are we going to do, guys?

Everybody grab something!

HAMISH:
Check downstairs,

down the basement!

Check the attic!

Lord, have mercy...

Just drop the gun, man.

(C*CKS GUN)

HAMISH:
Atta boy, Sean.

Well done.

Drop it, guys.

I don't think so, boy-o.

How the hell did all of you

get out of that cabin?

Maybe they've

earned their freedom, Da.

And have that thing,

come back to our village?

Start preyin' on us again?

Or you?

Just let us go...

You be quiet, missy.

(GUNSHOT)

It's Ian. It's Ian!

Out with me now, come on!
