[Zoe]

Megan, are you sure?

It's this way.

[Zoe]

Let's turn around and just go back.

[Zoe]

Let's just go back to the house.

- I'm telling you, I'm outta here, okay?

- Lish? Lish.

- What?

- Listen to me. Can you calm down, please?

We're their ride back.

We can't just leave 'em here.

I don't trust that Nick guy. And there's

something up with all of his voodoo crap!

I agree completely.

I'm gonna get the gun.

That's reassuring.

- Let's go, Bernard.

- [Bernard Panting]

This is it!

[Nick]

The ruins?

We were terrified of this place

when we were kids.

Megan, what can you

possibly hope to find out here?

We have to dig here.

I fell here when I was running.

Come on!

[Thunder Rumbling]

Okay, guys. Come on. There's nothing out here.

Let's go back to the house.

- Look. Sophie's gone.

This isn't gonna bring her back.

No, she's here!

You know what?

You're sick. You need help.

- Christian, just let her be.

- Hey, don't f***in' touch me!

- What the hell is your problem?

- You're my problem. You're everybody's problem.

Who the hell do you think you are?

You Cajun freaks like messing

with people's heads? Is that it?

Shut up!

Christian, please.

This is over.

Come on. Let's go.

- Back off, all right?

- Hey! Stop it!

[Megan]

Oh, my God!

[Thunder Rumbling]

- Oh, sh*t.

- [Zoe] What is that?

It's her.

- The little girl-

- Megan, how did you know that was-

- I don't know. I don't know!

- How did you know that?

- I don't know.

- Man.

[Crying]

Zoe, go back and call the police.

Um, we'll be back.

[Gun C*cks]

[Gasping]

We found a little girl's body!

- A body?

- Yeah!

- Where the hell's Megan and Nick?

- They're back at the bridge.

- They're with the body.

- You left her with that freak?

Yes! No! Shut up!

Um, we're gonna go to the bridge

and we're gonna have the police-

- We're gonna call them right now

and have them meet us there.

Keys. I need keys. All right.

Christian? Christian! Come on, man.

Come on. I gotta drive. Let's go.

Let's go.

Pick up! Pick up!

Pick up! Pick up!

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Little Girl Giggling]

Nick.

Isn't that your sister's?

I thought it was.

Why would your sister

have a key to Malin's bike?

It wasn't Sophie.

Who was it?

It was her.

Sh*t, man.

It's starting to rain.

- Then slow down!

- Calm down. All right?

That's it!

It's right there. The bridge.

- You see? It's right in front of you.

- All right. I see it.

- Give me your hat, Sophie.

- Hey!

- Give it back!

- You really want it back, huh?

- Hey!

- Oop.

- Sh*t! Sorry.

- I can't believe you just did that!

- Sorry. I'm so sorry. Sorry.

- Oh, my God!

- Look out!

- [Gunshot]

[Screaming]

What was that?

I don't know.

I'll go check it out.

You stay here.

[Crying]

Mark! Baby!

- Oh, no!

- I saw her! Malin!

- Baby!

- Christian!

- You shot Mark!

- Malin!

Christian, where are you going?

Malin, where are you?

- [Zoe] Cops are coming

but we need an ambulance!

Baby!

Malin!

Malin!

Hey, Christian!

Hey, hey! It's me! It's Nick.

- [Gun Cocking]

- Hey, what the hell are you doing?

[Gunshot]

Hey. Megan!

Nick!

Nick, where are you?

Megan, run.

Get out of there!

[Grunting, Groaning]

Nick!

Nick, where are you?

Christian.

Sorry.

Christian, what did you do?

It was an accident.

I didn't mean to hurt anybody.

You killed her.

No, no. Don't touch her!

Don't touch her!

[Screaming]

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

It was an accident.

- We have to call somebody.

- Just help me.

Help me grab her legs.

Come on. Let's go. Hurry up.

- Come on. I need your help.

- We gotta tell somebody.

Sophie, tell them what?

Do you know what'll happen to us?

Your whole future-

everything will be gone.

- You killed Sophie too!

- No! I was protecting her!

We can't go to the police.

Just get it together.

Christian, she's dead.

She's dead, Sophie!

She's dead.

- There's nothing we can do to bring her back.

- Ow!

There's no point

in giving up our lives too.

Think about- Think about

what'll happen to our families.

Our future, Sophie.

No one can ever know about this.

Put the gun down.

Christian, just put the gun down!

Put it down!

- Christian!

- [Malin Giggling]

Christian!

She's here!

Megan!

Come back here!

- You don't understand yet!

- [Screams] Nick!

[Christian]

Sophie!

- [Screaming] Nick!

- [Christian] Megan!

Wait!

You don't understand!

Somebody help me!

Don't go!

Megan!

[Whimpering]

No!

[Screams]

No!

No!

It was an accident!

Malin, I'm sorry!

Sophie!

[Police Radio Chatter]

God! I didn't see him.

- [Megan Screaming] No!

- I didn't see him.

No! No! No!

No!

[Sobbing]

No!

[Police Radio Chatter Continues]

Hey, baby.

It's okay.

It's gonna be all right.

I can't believe this is happening.

[Nick] I wanted to let you know, Megan,

that I ran into Leonard the other day.

He wanted me to thank you

for finding Malin.

[Megan]

I went by his place this morning.

He wasn't home.

It's probably just as well.

- You just get off work?

- Yup. Last day.

- One more week and I 'm out of here.

- [Chuckling]

What, um- What about you?

Just wanted to see this place

one last time before my folks sell it.

Understandable.

- Maybe when you come to the city,

I can show you around.

That'd be great.

-Just no more black magic.

- You got it.
