Open Grave Page #2

Synopsis: A man wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that's more vicious - and hungry - than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together - before it's too late.

I found them.

Where'd you find them?

Downstairs, in the living room,

with all the books

that you can read.

Someone's in here, Nathan?

Listen...

I'm not trying to make

an enemy here, okay?

It's just, uh... We can't

bash the door in now.

Everybody's trying to sleep.

It's been a long night.

I think you should get

a couple hours of rest.

All of your...

Locked doors will still

be here when you wake up.

We need to find the cars.

I think he's got a point.

No, you think he's got a point,

but I wasn't here when you guys had

the meeting that made him boss, okay?

This time, no, or

I'm going with you.

You need me.

Why?

Why?

'Cause I'm the best shot.

How do we know?

Jesus Christ, Michael!

What the hell?

How about that?

You know now?

You stay here

and guard the house.

Why won't they listen to me?

Because of what you just did.

Is he dead?

I hope so.

This fence must run the

whole way around the house.

Oh, that smell!

I can't handle it.

Lukas?

Somebody's put them

up all around the house.

Maybe it's a warning.

It's the same as the last night.

Why won't they listen to me?

You know,

I could've helped them.

It's my job.

It's my job.

Why would I have this?

And who are you to me?

You...

My wife? Girlfriend?

If I knew what was going on...

Because, I'm not like the others.

They're all smart!

But I'm... I'm here

to do something.

How do we know one another?

My quiet girl.

This thing between us, it's...

It's important.

I know it.

Get in the house.

Get inside, now! Now!

Just move! Go!

Go inside.

Okay, now you go in, and you

lock the door. Close it!

Now!

What do you think?

Which way?

Really?

You're throwing rocks?

Well, we have cars.

Please!

Please, help!

Please, help!

Help!

Please!

Please...

Please help!

Okay. Okay.

- Please help!

- Jesus!

Help.

- Ahhh!

- Okay, okay, okay. Okay? Okay?

Shh...

Easy. We're gonna

work on this.

Please...

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Please. Help me...

Come on!

It's got a quarter tank.

Battery is dead here.

Look if there's fuel inside.

Yeah, it's okay, Nate.

We can push start it.

Nate.

What's the matter?

Headache. Nothing.

Okay, this is low on gas,

but I think we should just try and drive

out of here and see what we can find.

There's no we.

What?

You're not with us.

I could be the one

taking the photo?

Guys, we need to get help.

We're not near anything.

We'll end up without fuel in

the middle of f***ing nowhere.

Let's get back to the house,

figure out what's going on.

He's got a point.

Sharon...

Guys!

Michael!

Jesus.

Help me move him!

Okay. There we go.

- We got to support his head. Jesus!

- I got him.

Jesus... Oh, my God...

We need to stop the blood.

F***...

Michael, I need you

to look at me.

Michael. Michael...

- Michael, breathe! Michael!

- Sharon...

Come on, Michael.

Michael.

Michael!

Jesus!

We...

We were in the hospital.

We could have...

- I just need...

- Ahhh!

Leave him here.

Don't touch the body.

- What's wrong with you?

- John!

John, no.

We're going to bury him, right?

I mean...

You're not just gonna

leave him lying there

like the sicko

tying people to trees...

It's Michael.

We're gonna bury him.

Look, something is happening

on the 18th. That is tomorrow.

- We don't have time. I'm going to the...

- Wait.

- I think we should all stick together.

- Yeah.

- To be honest, I'm not sure we're safe.

- Neither am I.

Lukas...

Nathan, come on.

- We need to stick together.

- I'd rather take you across.

Nathan, can I have your keys?

I can push start your car.

Can I please have your keys?

Thank you.

- I will go.

- What?

No-one

should go alone.

Okay, come on.

Come on, please. Come

on, you piece of crap.

Come on, now.

Sweat it out there.

Okay, now!

Here we go.

Okay, stop. Stop!

Hey...

Up there on the left.

Hello.

It's too quiet.

This is empty.

Yeah. These, too.

- Did you see that?

- No.

What?

- There was a kid.

- Where?

Hello?

Hello!

Hello.

God damn it.

There's no one.

Sharon!

What's your name?

Come and open the door.

Do you...

Do you recognize me?

Here. Come here.

Do you recognize this lady?

Go away, Jonah!

They're coming tomorrow!

- No.

- No, no. Come back.

- Please... No.

- No. He knows me.

He called me Jonah.

All these languages,

and not one of them yours.

Hey...

You okay?

Hey! Let me help you.

Get away from me.

What's wrong?

No! Please don't!

My head...

I know you.

I know you.

Hey, Lukas...

Lukas, stop it. You're...

Lukas, get off her!

Lukas, stop it!

Stop it!

Okay.

Okay, relax.

Lukas! Stop it!

Are you okay?

Are you okay now?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I can hear him, Sharon.

He's still in there.

F***!

Hey! Call your dog off!

- It's okay.

- I'm not kidding around now, buddy.

- Call the dog off!

- I'm gonna set my dog on you!

- Get out of here!

- Don't test me! Don't f***ing test me!

- Just... Just open the door first.

- Okay, that's it!

- Go away!

- What are you doing?

- Stand back!

- Stop it!

- He knows me!

- Jesus!

Leave us alone, Jonah.

That is not gonna help!

- You get out of there...

- Stop it!

- You're scaring him!

- Stay out of this!

- Stop it!

- Stay out of it.

- Stop it!

- Hey!

For f***'s sake, this isn't helping!

Please!

This is not gonna help!

- Stand back!

- Jesus!

- Come on, open it?

- My dog will kill you!

Run and hide!

Run and hide!

Please, please. We just

need some answers, okay?

Please, please.

He's so loud.

F***ing stop it!

Out of the way, Sharon.

Stop! What the f***

are you doing?

I'm going to cut

the f***ing door.

It's a child!

He knows me.

He knows my name.

I don't even know my name.

This isn't you, John.

You'll be okay.

Okay, symptoms...

Headache, nausea...

Hyperventilating...

Delirious...

Violent.

It's... You think that...

Wish I could

speak your language.

Okay, uh...

There was a woman.

She was tied up.

She was blind in one eye.

She had a bad eye.

The one you were feeding.

They told me about it.

Yeah?

Hey.

I need your help.

Please help me.

I know this place.

She escaped.

I think there's a path

around the lake.

Well, I need to know

where it leads.

I'm going.

My name...

Is Nathan. Nathan.

Nathan's my name.

Remember.

Nate.

You can call me Nate.

Tree...

Cracked by lightning.

Two trees,

either side of the path.

And then...

Tree trunk.

- I'm irresponsible?

- Yes!

This whole thing is your fault.

I don't need

a f***ing baby sitter.

Okay, stop it,

you two! Stop it!

Oh, it's my fault? It's not

my f***ing fault! I didn't do this!

I didn't do any of this.

God, forgive me.

He's too heavy.

Hold him tight.

Come on, help me, Nathan!

Nathan, tie his legs up.

They're not animals.

This is inhumane.

You...

Don't leave me alone.

Please!

I'm not going to hurt you.

Don't leave me alone.

I know I can trust you.

You can trust me.

Let me in.

I remember you smiling at me.

I remember you.

Let me in!

I remember you.

I'm not going to hurt you.
