Open Grave Page #3

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.

Helen.

Your name is Helen.

I'm sorry about your daughter.

We wanted to help...

Ahhh!

Day 96, this is subject 143,

who I captured in the woods.

He's the first positive

result that I've had,

and, uh, he's responding

to the injection, I believe.

It proves that

I'm onto something.

And then, uh,

one unfortunate side-effect

is a period of unconsciousness

followed by acute memory loss.

But he doesn't

remember anything.

...two stages that he's going through.

The first stage

is the rest cycle.

He looks calm...

Almost dead.

His heartbeat decreases

to 30 beats per minute.

I don't know why

it's wearing off so quickly.

I just...

I need it to hold.

I need it to hold! Why is he not

responding? It should work!

This should work!

I'm trying everything!

Her blood should be...

- Please! Please stop!

- Now you can see...

He looks like he's suffering

from extreme headaches.

He's got extreme strength.

Do you remember your family?

I can't remember my mother.

Who doesn't remember

their own mother?

I know that I know you.

I feel like I know you.

Sometimes, I, uh...

I feel like I might have...

Done some things

that I wasn't proud of...

That I might not like

the man I was, you know?

Watch out!

Where the hell

did that come from?

What's that sound?

Be careful. I got a bad

feeling about this.

- No, I don't...

- Excuse me!

I don't like it.

- Excuse me!

- No! Shh.

Let's go.

Okay, maybe you were right.

Sh*t!

Come on!

Sharon!

Come on!

Get in the car!

Go! Go!

Oh, my God, come on!

- John, come on! Come on, let's go.

- F***!

Put it in reverse!

Put it in reverse!

Come on!

They're right on me!

They're right on me!

What...

What?

They don't like

the smell or something.

They are deterrents.

Someone hung them up on purpose.

They're being

used like scarecrows.

Be careful.

You're a sick f***.

I knew it was you.

Lukas, put your f***ing gun down, man.

You're losing your mind.

What did you do to me?

- Who are you!

- What are you talking about, man?

Lukas, what are you doing?

It's him, Sharon.

It's all in here.

I told you you shouldn't

have let him out.

He was doing experiments

on us or something.

He had us all in prison.

He's a murderer.

John...

What's he talking about?

What's on the tape?

I... I don't know.

I can't remember.

I was trying to tell you

before in the car...

I've been having some memories.

Bad memories of doing

really bad things.

For f***'s sake, Sharon,

can you trust me, please?

I wanted to tell you.

I just didn't know how.

I thought you knew me.

And like I knew you.

- Sharon...

- Please, I was hoping...

Maybe I was somebody

else because I knew you.

- Please...

- You stand back.

I just... Okay.

You don't f***ing move or I'll

shoot you where you're standing

and hang you from

the next f***ing tree.

Watch it.

Come on, Sharon, watch it.

Have a look.

I'm trying everything.

This should work.

What is it, Sharon?

Please. Please, stop.

What's on the tape?

I have needle marks on my arm.

See?

I bet you have them, too.

Was that...

Is that from me?

- Lukas, god damn it!

- You shut the f*** up!

Okay.

I don't remember that.

Did I do that?

Lukas, did I do this to her?

I got to kill him.

I just wanna know what I did, okay?

I'm not sure.

I remember pieces, but I don't...

Lukas, please listen.

Okay, I will turn around,

and I wouldn't hurt you.

- No.

- Sharon, please don't let him...

You crawl!

Get into the pit with all your

victims, you twisted f***!

No, not in there, man.

Come on!

Go!

Okay, okay!

Okay, I'm going.

I'm going. I'm going.

Lukas!

Take it yourself.

Who are you?

Did you get blood in your mouth?

We trying, okay?

We trying.

We'll pack up and get

f*** out of this place.

Your key.

Give me the key.

Give me the keys.

I'll go and get your car.

What about Nathan?

- Does he know?

- Who?

Nathan.

No... No.

The one in the pit

is the one who did this.

It's... It's... John.

Lukas.

You okay?

No, I'm not okay.

I'm all f***ed up

because of your Nazi boyfriend

doing experiments on me.

Lukas.

You need to sit down.

You don't look well.

No, no, no.

You're safe with me.

No, you're safe now.

Do you hear me?

You're safe with me. Okay?

I'll take care

of you. Okay?

Lukas...

You're scaring me, okay...

I'll take care of you, too.

You're safe with me.

They tried to take you away

from me, but you're safe now.

Lukas, please.

You're ill.

You're sick.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

- Lukas...

- Don't touch her!

She can't hurt you.

I will protect you!

Remember.

Wait!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Look at me!

You must remember me.

You know me.

You know me!

Beautiful girl.

Get off her!

No!

Ugh!

Tomorrow's the 18th.

There's no time left.

Yeah, the kid knew me.

We need to get back

to that building.

You need to stay away from me.

It may not be safe

to be around me.

I need the answers.

Get in that house!

Go!

Jonah.

Hello?

Please be careful with this.

This is our last chance.

We only have a couple of days.

"Last chance."

Last chance for what?

The 18th.

Come on, man, think!

What happens on the 18th?

You have to follow

the main road.

They'll meet you there.

Do not stop for any...

Where the f*** were you going?

God damn it!

Who were you meeting?

Come on, man!

You have to follow

the main road.

F***!

What the f*** is going on?

Sh*t!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I just need to get them.

I...

F***.

Just give them to me.

Give it to me, you crazy b*tch.

No, no. No.

You gotta be kidding me.

What the f***! Get back!

Mamma!

- You!

- Hey.

Do you know me?

'Cause that kid knows me.

You are one of them.

You stay away from my family!

No more needles!

Is this your daughter?

You hurt us all, Jonah!

I'll leave you alive

because I'm not like you.

- Run and hide.

- What?

What do you mean?

Wait. Hang on, hang on!

Listen! Wait, wait, wait!

Listen, please! Just hang on!

I just wanna talk to you!

Please, just tell me!

What did I do?

Please, I just wanna

talk to you!

Where are you going?

Overgrown brain.

Possible reason

for the headaches.

White matter decomposing.

The army will meet you there.

They know what to do with it.

The army.

What does the military

have to do to with it?

Jonah Cooke.

Jonah Cooke.

Sharon?

Sharon?

Look, it's John! John!

Oh, sh*t!

Lukas.

Jesus, Lukas, you're sick.

No!

Shh! You should

calm down, man.

This will help you.

I was helping you.

Go away.

Lukas, I was helping you!

I was helping all of you.

Lukas. Lukas.

I'm remembering things.

My name...is...is Jonah.

Do you remember me?

I'm a doctor.

You've been infected?

I need to inject you with this.

This can help you.

Look at me.

You remember me?

Look at me.

Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me, buddy.

Give your arm.

I was just trying to help you.

The dose has worn off.

I need to...

No, don't! Come on!

Lukas!

Oh, f***!

Look, Lukas...

Look at me, Lukas!

Lukas, come on.

Lukas. Lukas.

Look at me. Look at me.
