No.

[screaming]

Ajay.

Ajay.

Hey, Ajay.

Luca?

Luca?

She was your sister.

I get why you did it.

She never told me

she was pregnant.

I'm sorry for that.

We have no way of knowing that

it's him, it was him for sure--

Of course, we do.

We found the bracelet

in his pocket.

Watch his head.

Why'd I get stuck with

the midsection anyway?

That's it.

I mean, anybody could've put

the bracelet in his pocket.

Life's not that complicated.

He had to have someone

helping him, taking

organs from the site, you know?

It's not safe here.

I don't think we

should wait any longer.

We need to go.

Ajay.

We can come back

for Lily's body.

We need to go.

Keep up.

Everyone stay together.

[crashing]

Oh my god!

Luca!

Oh my god.

Luca?

Luca!

Luca, are you OK?

Luca?

I'm gonna go check.

Do you see anything?

- I'm gonna go check.

- Are you sure?

Yeah.

Oh my god, please, be careful.

Please, be careful.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Oh my god.

Luca, I'm coming.

Luca!

Jess, here you go.

Let me go.

Here, I got it.

OK.

Luca, I'm coming down.

Luca, can you hear me?

Can you see anything?

Not yet.

Can you get back up?

Yeah, yeah.

[scream]

Jessica?

Jessica, what's the matter?

Jess?

I think my ankle is broken.

There is someone else here.

It could not have been Solo,

unless he came here before.

There were at least 10 corpses.

They had cuts that

were similar to--

It was Solo who killed Lily.

I don't know about the others.

I think my leg is not that bad.

I think we can-- I

think I can walk--

It's so dangerous.

If you fell already,

now it's darker.

I don't want to fall into

another room full of bodies.

Look, it's pitch black.

I mean, even with flashlights,

we might get lost.

That'd be worse.

At least here, we're

in a space, contained.

We're together.

Nothing's gonna happen

if we stay together.

How you feeling, Taylor?

You OK?

I'm just scared.

Hey, Taylor.

I'm sorry.

And-- I agree with you when

you say you want to be honest.

I took advantage of you

because I was lonely.

And I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Everything is gonna be OK.

[sobbing]

You cry way too much.

I can't stop.

No, it's OK.

Hey, hey, hey.

Now, when you stop

crying, that's

when you know there's something

wrong with you, you know?

Nothing wrong with you.

Tell me about her.

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

You should go to sleep.

Just till morning,

then we'll leave.

[crickets chirping]

Ajay.

It wasn't Solo.

Ajay!

Ajay!

We're sitting ducks here.

They're coming back for us next.

We gotta find something,

a knife, get anything.

Look in your bags.

I'm getting the body,

getting it outta here

before they come back for that.

Do something, you guys.

Jess, find something!

I don't feel well.

[sobbing]

Oh, sh*t.

This is that game.

What?

The game we played

the first night.

Murder in the Dark.

Simone was the first to die.

Simone!

And then Lily.

And then we-- we chose

Solo as the killer.

And we killed him.

And then Luca.

And I was next.

And then Kevin.

It's just a game.

You won.

You were the

killer, and you won.

Taylor, please.

You know I couldn't do this.

There's definitely

somebody here.

Somebody has been watching

us this whole time.

We have to go, OK?

Let's go find Ajay.

We're gonna get out

of here together.

Yeah?

Yes.

OK, get your shoes.

We'll just go.

We have to go.

We can't stay here.

We can get to the road

and hike out of here.

I'm sorry, I'm so tired.

We'll just make sure

nobody's there, OK?

OK.

Stay with me.

We're gonna get out of here, OK?

Yeah.

Don't worry about it.

OK, OK.

I'll get you some water.

OK.

We'll turn around.

Come on, come on.

Let's go.

[screaming]

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Where did you--

I don't know.

Matthew has some

medical background.

He can help us.

Where were you?

Jessica, what happened?

Taylor, get outta the way.

Where did you find him?

I don't know.

He's dying.

Please, you have

to do something.

What can you do?

He may already be missing

organs at this point.

Who did this to you?

You have to do something.

You're a surgeon.

I'm not this kind of

surgeon, I told you that.

Where's Ajay?

Ajay can help.

I don't know.

Did you see anything?

Who did this to you?

A man in a mask.

I don't want him to kill me.

Come with me, please.

Ajay can help him.

I'm not going.

Don't move anywhere.

Stay here.

There's still smoke.

There was something there.

Where?

I don't know.

Taylor.

What?

This is the piece of the car.

Fix the car and go, OK?

I'm not going.

Go, go.

You--

Shh.

Shh.

Ah!

Listen, he was in a mask.

You need to go.

You need to go.

I love you.

I'm not gonna leave you.

I'm not going to.

I don't remember.

This is the only way--

it has to be the way.

[panting]

Come here.

I came back.

I came back.

I love you.

What's wrong?

[retching]

I'm OK.

I'm OK.

What's wrong?

[gasping]

Ajay, what are you doing here?

Listen, we need your help.

That's Lily.

It's OK that you were

wrong, but now you can

save the rest of us, please.

Kevin needs your help, and

the rest of us need your help.

It's the only chance

we have, and Lily

would not want you to give up.

Please.

Where's Kevin?

He's there.

And Taylor?

Let's go.

They're in the place

where we were sleeping.

[gasping]

Right here.

Taylor.

Taylor.

Oh my god.

Taylor!

Taylor!

Get away.

Kevin.

Taylor, why?

She was fine.

What happened?

You said they were alive.

What is this?

This is what I was telling you.

He got away.

He was cut like this,

and we brought him here,

and she was fine.

She was fine.

Come on, let's

get into the light.

You don't need to do this.

It's the only way to know

for sure what's going on here.

This is strange.

What is it?

I don't think

anything's missing.

I don't understand.

Nothing is missing.

Everything is there.

Oh my god.

There's no marks on her, Ajay.

I don't understand.

She must've been injected.

Get his medical kit.

Here.

Here, I found these two.

This doesn't make any sense.

You see anything?

She's been poisoned.

How can you tell?

There's edema on the

throat's lining and mucosal

swelling there and there.

Why would he poison her?

Oh, god.

What am I gonna tell her family?

Here.

It fell out of his

back this morning.

I don't know what

it is, but I saw it.

Matthew, what is this?

I don't know what

that is, Ajay.

What is this, Matthew?

It was in your bag.

Get her water bottle.

Ajay.

We are wasting time.

There is a killer out here.

Can't see anything, but he

still could've poisoned her.

How dare you.

You accuse me of this?

After what you did?

If you didn't do

it, then drink it.

This is crazy.

Drink it, Matthew.

Drink it.

Ajay.

Drink it!

Drink it if you didn't do it!

If you didn't do it,

then you drink it!

Drink it!

Drink it!

Drink it.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Drink it.

Stop.

Stop, Jessica, stop.

Just wait.

It was obviously him.

The three of us slept here.

He wasn't there.

In the morning,
