about this place.

- What are you talking about?

- The name on the mailbox.

You telling me you guys ain't

never heard of the Joads?

Junior Joad

and his psycho family?

- Yeah.

- No, no, that story's bullshit.

- What story?

- They were killers.

Not just killers.

Right.

Cannibals.

The rumors said

they'd become wild animals,

feeding off

the local wildlife and...

anything or anyone

who came along.

Police showed up.

They killed the family.

Supposedly they found parts

of, like, 30 people.

Parts?

That isn't real.

It's just a story to scare kids.

Is it?

I think this was my sister's.

I gave this to her.

No way.

No f***ing way.

- No, how?

- She ran away.

Guys, where's Tobe?

He dropped his glasses

in the barn.

He's still...

My God.

Tobe?

Tobe?

You really think that's hers?

Your sister's I mean?

Do you remember what we

talked about in Anthropology?

How cannibals believe they take

power from the people they eat?

Adrienne.

You don't think they take

their souls, do you?

What if Laurie's trapped?

What if she can't go

where she's supposed to be?

Look, she is not trapped

anywhere, okay?

If she died here... hey.

If she died here,

she is in heaven now, okay?

I promise.

Wait, wait, what if Tobe's

not in the barn?

Then we go.

F*** Tobe.

You're an a**hole,

you know that?

Nice.

Look, Johnnie's right.

If Tobe's not in the barn,

then we keep moving,

get to the road,

get back to the bus.

- F***ing A.

- And just leave him?

Man, that is messed up.

Look, if something's

happened to Tobe,

then the best thing

we can do for him is get help.

Best case,

he'll meet us back at the bus.

Yeah, worst case?

Well, we all heard that, right?

- God.

- Okay, okay, everyone chill.

Okay, that sound could have

come from anywhere.

That's Tobe!

- That's Tobe! I know it is!

- Where are you going?

Let me go!

We have to help him!

No, Marilyn, wait.

Everybody, wait.

We gotta be smart about this.

Okay, Johnnie, you come with me.

Wes, you stay here

with the girls.

All right, what's our play?

I think the sound

came from over there.

God.

F*** me.

Okay, we gotta get

the girls out of here.

- Wait, what are you two doing?

- Nothing.

Stay back, guys!

Stay back!

No! Tobe!

Tobe!

Adrienne!

- Come on! Go! Go!

- Adrienne!

No, let go of me!

- No, I gotta help her!

- She's already dead!

Move! Move!

Go, man, go!

We're gonna f***ing die!

Move your ass!

Let's go!

Go in the house!

All right, lock the doors!

All of them! Sean!

What the hell

happened out there?!

I don't know!

Well, I do.

It's one of those f***ing Joads,

and we're the buffet.

Man, why the hell

did we come back here?

I was following him!

Tobe's gonna die, too,

if we don't help him, okay?!

What are you guys waiting for?!

We have to go help him!

- No, f*** that!

- Are you people blind?!

The killer's using Tobe as bait.

My best friend is dead.

Please let this not be

happening.

Well, it's happening, okay?

Look, we can all talk about

how f***ed up it is later,

but right now,

we need to start figuring out

a way to get out of here alive.

Someone will see the bus, right?

They'll come looking for us.

So we're just gonna wait here?

I don't want to be eaten

by a cannonball.

- It's "cannibal," God damn it!

- That's what I said!

Nobody's gonna get eaten, okay?!

We're gonna stay here,

stay smart,

and make it until morning,

and then we'll make

a break for it.

Not tonight.

It's too risky.

Riskier than waiting around here

for that psycho to show back up?

What do you think

you're gonna do with that?

If that motherf***er

comes near me,

I'm gonna introduce

this to his skull.

Yeah, Wes is right.

Let's all grab something.

Let's mess him up.

That make you feel better?

A little bit, yeah.

So what's the plan?

Okay, Jamie, Marilyn, and I

will secure the downstairs.

Wes, you take the upstairs.

Johnnie, Heather,

secure the main floor.

If someone comes through that

front door, we should hear it.

Come on.

You okay, baby?

I... I've just never seen

anyone die before.

Flashlight. Here.

Guys, this is creepy.

Okay.

Marilyn, here.

Okay. Okay.

We can think of this

as our Alamo, okay?

This must head outside.

If someone comes in upstairs,

we get down here,

get to the yard,

and back to the bus, okay?

Get upstairs! Now! Now!

Quick! Go! Go!

Go and lock the door!

Get out of here!

No!

Come on! Come on!

Hey, you guys chill out!

Chill out, slow down.

Where's Sean?

He's in the cellar.

We have to go.

- Sean?

- Him! The killer, you idiot!

He killed Sean?

Are you sure?

- Of course we're f***ing sure!

- Screw this.

No, get the f*** off me!

I'm gonna kill

this f***ing freakazoid!

- Johnnie, no!

- We gotta go, man.

We have to get back to the bus!

And then what?

So he can find us there, too?

No, let's do this now!

Maybe he won't

follow us there, Johnnie!

- Maybe he won't go that far!

- Yeah, and maybe he will.

Johnnie, we gotta

get the f*** out of here, man!

Fine.

Let's go!

All right, once we get outside,

we haul ass, you hear me?

Back door!

Help me get the fridge!

Go, go!

Come on!

- This way!

- Where the hell are we going?

I don't know!

Is he still behind us?

We have to keep moving.

We have to help him.

He's still alive.

It hurts.

What's he saying?

Kill me.

Look!

All right, we can take care

of this psycho right now.

You good?

- No, f*** this!

- Run!

He's out there somewhere.

He sounded pretty far away.

I say we make our move.

- I don't know.

- Well, I do.

I've been following you people

around all night, and so far,

it's gotten three of us killed.

I don't wanna be next.

Do you?

- No.

- Good.

Now come on.

We're gonna find out

where that mother f***er is

and as we know he ain't coming,

we run like hell, you got it?

All right, come on.

I don't wanna go out there.

He's gonna get us, Wes.

We're gonna be fine.

Look, we'll go out

the back door.

It's closest to the road.

Be careful.

Quiet.

All right,

we're all clear over here.

Sh*t!

No!

No! No!

No!

- Marilyn!

- Wes!

Marilyn! No!

Wes!

God, please, no, no!

- We should help her.

- Screw that.

Shut that dog up.

Shh, shh.

Okay, let's go.

- Ew, what is this place?

- Shh!

Keep quiet and follow me.

We're not out

in the open, are we?

Okay, we just need a place

to hole up for the night.

It's gonna be okay, Precious.

Come on.

That barn,

it's just across the way.

All right,

but you gotta be quiet.

You got it?

Johnnie?

It's okay.

Don't look.

We're gonna make it, okay?

But we need to keep our heads.

I think we can hide out here

until morning.

At night, that crazy f***

can come out of anywhere.

I don't wanna die, Johnnie.

Okay, I'm gonna

take care of you.

You need to keep

that thing quiet.

Stay close.

Come on.

Stay close.

Okay, we'll be safe

in the back of this, okay?

Are you sure?

Trust me, baby.

Okay, get in.

You punks are gonna pay.

Hello?

Joyriding delinquents.

Shh!

We have to keep still.
