- Just over here.

- Okay.

Deputy. Come in, Deputy.

Dispatch, try him again.

We've tried him five times.

Damn. I need someone out there.

You're the only other car in the area.

What do you want me to do, boss?

I'm going, I'm going.

Mom?

Mom, is that you?

- Hey.

- Hi.

That's a pretty

serious blade you got there.

- Oh, sorry.

- Don't worry. I get it, you know?

It's the middle of the night...

you're all alone in there,

a knock at the door...

I tried calling,

but it kept going to voice mail.

My phone broke.

Well, that explains it.

So, are you going to invite me in?

What are you doing here?

- Theresa showed me the video of you in the...

- Go!

- Listen to me! No, listen.

- Go, please.

Listen to me!

That was f***ed up, what they did. Totally.

I told her. I told her to her face.

I left her at the party to come see you.

Why?

- Why?

- Yeah.

Why did you leave the party to come see me?

I don't know.

I guess I always felt bad.

And after your dad went...

I was scared.

And I was at the party

thinking about how mean we all are.

Cruel. Me too.

I wanted to say I was sorry,

especially tonight.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, I... I guess I'll let you go.

Wait.

Would you like a hot chocolate?

Yeah, sure.

Your mom's out till when?

- Late.

- Cool.

Whoa, that is sick.

No, no, no. I meant "sick" cool,

not "sick" bad or anything.

I'd rather you didn't.

Are you kidding? That was awesome.

Do you have any more?

Let me check 'em out.

No.

Come on. Let me check 'em out.

Come on. Let me... Let me... Let me see.

It's okay.

Whoa.

I bet you could publish this.

That's not what it's meant for.

Whatever.

Is... Is that Mrs. Miller?

Super cool.

Does anyone else in your family draw?

No.

Sh-Shouldn't you get that?

No, it's just Theresa.

Um, I-I think maybe you should go.

What about that hot chocolate?

I'm really looking forward to it.

Again.

It's okay.

No!

Are you sure?

Stop it. Jeremy's downstairs.

Come on. It's okay.

Jason, no!

Damn, you cut me.

Oh, my God.

What?

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God.

- Let me help.

- Get away from me!

- I think you need an ambulance.

- Stop! No, stop!

Get away!

Oh, Jeremy, did I wake you?

Come on.

Let's get you back to bed.

What?

Hush-a-bye

Don't you cry

Go to sleep

My little baby

When you wake

You shall have

All the pretty little horses

Blacks and bays

Pintos and grays

Coach and six

a-little horses

Way down yonder

In the meadow

Poor wee baby crying "Mama"

Birds and the butterflies

Peckin' out his eyes

Poor wee baby

crying "Mama"

- No, I don't wanna...

- Come on. Come on.

- Nope.

- Okay, okay. Come on.

- No, no more. No.

- Yes, yes.

What the f***?

- Where is Jason?

- I don't know. Inside? Do you mind?

Yeah, he's with that freak,

isn't he?

- Emily?

- I thought he was with you.

Nope, he flipped out when he saw the video.

And now his car is gone,

and he is not answering his phone.

- Okay. Mystery solved. Good-bye.

- No, what video?

- Nothing. Don't worry about it.

- Nothing?

We shoved that freak's face

back where it belonged.

It was epic.

I feel sick.

Thanks, Theresa. Awesome.

He's totally hooking up with her,

isn't he?

Can you drive?

- Well, I'm...

- Come on. You're driving.

No, Carrie and I were doing fine

before you showed up.

- Doing fine?

- Uh, yeah.

Have you guys ever had a threesome?

A what?

- Come on! Let's go get Jason!

- Okay!

Th-This is... This is bad.

Shh!

Hello?

Who is it?

Oh, my God!

Jeremy!

Jeremy!

Jeremy!

He's back.

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Out!

Stay out!

Hurry! The window!

Emily!

He's inside! He's inside!

- Drop the knife!

- No!

- Drop it!

- Let's just cool down a minute.

Yes, sir.

Emily, it's fine by me if you wanna hold on

to that knife for a while. All right?

Okay.

Who's inside, did you say?

Is it who I think it is?

All right then.

Now, I want you to stay out here with

Deputy Jacobs. Is that understood?

The deputy is a highly trained officer of

the law, and he will protect you.

Jacobs.

Keep a sharp eye.

Copy that, sir.

Don't worry. We settle this tonight.

He's my dad.

He's a maniac.

- He killed him.

- Get inside.

Lock the door!

Oh, Jesus.

Okay, now, Tom.

Time to put this to rest now.

You hear?

You don't want to do that.

You don't need...

Stop this!

Don't look.

Just...

stop.

We have to hide.

Well, there's his truck.

If they're doing it...

Well, there's always revenge sex, right?

Okay.

Run! He's gonna kill you!

- What the...

- Oh, look, Emily's freaking out.

Hurry! I don't know where he is!

- Where is Jason?

- I don't know!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

What if he killed him? Oh, my God.

- What... What the hell?

- Okay. Whatever.

Jason! I know you are in there,

so open the door!

He's not here! I need you to go!

My... There's a killer out there!

Oh, my God. You are so full of it!

- Jason, open the door right now!

- Hold on.

Emily, you have to let us in right now.

No! Run! You have to run!

No, he's coming for us.

Hurry, please.

I see him. He's coming.

Let us in. Please. Please.

Where is he?

Jason.

He's gone.

- The sheriff is... He was shot.

- Jason.

- He must have taken his body away.

- Whoa.

- Is that really necessary?

- You don't understand.

Oh, my God. Where is Jason?

You don't believe me.

Let's get out of here.

You can drive us, right, Frank?

Uh, sure. I'll be right there.

Hurry.

Wow. Just... Wow.

Jason!

Where are you?

Hey, J. Emily says you're dead, dude.

Call me.

Look, I don't know where he is.

How about we just, you know, party?

Yeah, right.

- Jason!

- Okay.

I'll be in the truck...

with the other two girls.

You can't just hide from me forever.

Emily?

Um, Emily?

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it. Jason!

Seriously? What the f***?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

What the f***?

Babe.

Jason.

No, no, no, no.

Oh, my God. Please, no!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Okay, come on.
