Amy's father has passed away and David intends to write his screenplay about Stalingrad in the house. David hires the contractor Charlie and his team to repair the roof of the Barn.

Charlie invites David to hunt deers with his group and him but they leave David alone in the woods and rape Amy.

Get that shotgun.

Get that motherf***er.

Tell me what happened.

Can you talk to me?

It's just me.

Talk to me.

For Janice.

Damn straight.

That's right, Coach.

I'll go around the house.

I'll see if there's

some other way in.

AMY:
Did something

happen to Janice?

Talk to me. Please.

COACH:
Amy?

I know you can hear me!

You don't want

the world of hurt

coming your way, honey.

He done something

to my little girl!

COACH:
To my Janice!

Amy, he's just trying

to find his daughter.

COACH:
That's right!

You protect that

child molester? Huh?

Sh*t. David.

Amy.

They have guns.

Amy...

David.

Hey, Jeremy.

Nothing's going

to happen to you,

buddy, okay?

We're going to protect you.

Why?

Why?

Yeah.

Because he's my

responsibility.

That's why.

COACH:
It'll be okay, Jeremy.

Come on to the window here.

Amy.

Jeremy.

What has happened

to Janice Heddon?

Tell me so I can help you!

F***in' cool it.

Christ, man, come on.

(SIREN WAILING)

Oh, man, you hear that?

CHARLIE:
Amy!

DAVID:
Is that the ambulance?

There we go. Look at this.

Aw, f*** 'em.

It's the sheriff.

COACH:
Hey, boys!

COACH:
Hey, boys!

Hey. What's going on?

Well, what's going on...

Looks like the local

war hero's arrived

to save Jeremy Niles' ass.

Is that right, John?

Put the goddamn guns away.

Sh*t.

(C*CKS GUN)

The f***?

I'm not asking.

Take it easy, John.

Easy.

CHRIS:
This ain't Iraq.

Putting it down.

Come on, Coach.

Let's put it down.

F*** it.

F*** it.

I'll cool out.

Thank you.

What the hell has

gotten into y'all?

Out here drunk and sh*t

with live weapons?

Somebody's

going to f*** around

and get killed here.

Goddamn right, somebody's

going to get killed.

One f***in' hair on

the head of my little girl

is touched by

that f***in' retard!

No, somebody will

f***in' get killed.

That's right, Coach!

Somebody will f***in' die.

NORMAN:
Mr. Sumner in there...

Stupid son of a b*tch!

He's protecting his ass!

He's f***in' Johnny f***in'...

F***ing bullshit!

This is crazy, David.

I've been trying my

best not to lock you up.

Please don't make me do it.

You want to

f***in' lock me up?

Why don't you get

your f***in' ass

over here and try it?

Get your f***in' black ass

over here and try it.

Come on.

Put the guns away

and calm him down.

Baby, stay here.

I'll handle this.

We're standing around here

holding our d*cks,

wasting time.

This is bullshit, man.

God only knows

what he did to

your girl, Coach.

JOHN:
Sumner.

Mr. Sumner,

you got to send Niles out.

It's all going

to go by the law.

You have my word.

I'm sorry,

Sheriff, but I'm not...

I'm not going to

give him to you.

You're with them.

That's not true, Mr. Sumner.

Just doing my job here.

He gonna treat that scumbag

like a victim, read him

his f***in' rights.

You know he's just

going to let him go.

BIC:
Come on, guys.

Let's go around back.

CHRIS:
Yeah, hey,

maybe we can get in

through the basement.

NORMAN:
All right, then.

Come on, let's go.

You get state police up here,

and I'll turn him over then.

These boys aren't going

to hurt him, if that's what

you're worried about.

They're good people.

They're just

concerned about Janice.

You have my word.

He'll be in my custody.

Behind you!

CHARLIE:
Coach!

Coach!

Jesus, Coach, what the f***?

Okay, Jeremy,

Hey, John. John, look at me.

COACH:
He's dead.

AMY:
David, are you okay?

COACH:
He's f***in' dead.

Coach! Didn't have

to f***in' shoot

him like that, man.

Amy!

Stay away from the windows!

What's happening?

He was going to

let Jeremy Niles...

AMY:
David,

Did they shoot him?

Yes, they shot him. Yes.

David, f***!

What was I supposed to do?

It's a steel door.

They're not

going to get in here.

I need you to help me.

F***.

I need you to help me.

Come on. Come on.

F***.

He was going to let him...

Get it the f***

together, Chris!

Oh, God.

They don't work, David.

Those f***ing guns

don't work!

Okay.

He's done something

to Janice Heddon.

We don't know that.

He's done something

to Janice Heddon!

We got to finish this up!

We're all accessories now.

That's the way the law works.

They saw us.

I need you to

help me move this.

We got a job to finish.

Man up.

F***.

They're not going

to come out, guys.

So we have to get in.

Maybe we should give

them Jeremy, David.

No. No... Amy.

Maybe if we just

Amy.

Amy, come here. Come here.

Listen to me.

Niles isn't

the point anymore.

They've gone too

far to turn back.

They've murdered a man,

and we're witnesses, okay?

They want to kill us.

They have to kill us.

If they get in this house,

we're dead.
