her new look?

What about my new look, baby?

Want a peek?

I've always wanted her eyes.

And now I have them.

- Give him the money shot, sis.

- But of course.

Watch this.

Did they look as good on me

as they did on her?

Are you insane?

Don't act so innocent.

We know what you did to Josh.

Wha-- no, wait.

I-- I didn't.

All you did

was save us some trouble.

Now it's your turn.

I was-- I was faithful to you.

Why couldn't you be?

Rick!

Kathy, it's me-- Rick.

- Come to save your girlfriend?

- Come on, man.

There's no need for this.

Of course there isn't.

You've already f***ed her, right?

- So why bother?

- Trent, man,

she needs medical attention.

Kathy's hurt really bad.

I'm gonna hurt you too.

- Where did he go?

- I don't know. I can't see him.

- You think he's dead?

- You may have knocked him out.

I can't be sure.

Come on, just...

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Robert too.

What?

I found him

in the basement.

Oh, God. How?

You don't want to know.

Oh! Oh, f***.

Come on, come on.

Come on, let's go. Get up. Get up.

- Come on, Kathy.

- Come on, hurry up.

What are we

gonna do?

- I'm gonna find Pete.

- Hurry up.

Pete, it's Rick and Kathy.

Are you around?

Anton.

It's me.

It's Kathy and Rick.

Hey, we're--

we're your friends.

He's no friend of mine.

Anton, please

put the knives down.

You broke Erica's heart, Rick.

I told you I didn't want any hookers

at my bachelor party,

but, no, you had to

have it your way.

I brought the girls,

but I didn't make you sleep with them.

Just calm down, man.

If Erica hasn't forgiven you,

she will.

Just give her some time.

She won't!

She's dead.

And you're next.

That had to hurt.

Are you two okay?

Yeah. Thanks.

What the hell

is going on here?

I couldn't even begin

to explain it.

You have to get us

off this island now.

Do you have a phone

or something?

Well, I had a radio

until somebody smashed it up.

What about your boat?

Does it work?

The same person

that smashed the radio

took the keys to the boat and my shells.

I only got one shot left.

Sh*t.

I suppose I can

hot-wire the boat.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Whoa, not so fast there, slick.

- You two ain't going anywhere with me.

- What?

Oh, no, I'm flying solo

from here on out.

Please, you have to

take us with you.

No, I don't have to do nothing, darling.

It's my island, my rules.

Now, I've seen some pretty sick sh*t

here tonight.

I ain't taking my chances

with you two.

You can hide until I bring back

the authorities.

Come on, man.

She's hurt.

"Come on, man" nothing.

You sit tight.

I'll be back in about

an hour or so.

Sh*t. We're f***ed.

Sh*t.

- What do you think?

- F***, I don't know.

- Well, shouldn't we check it out?

- No, Pete said to stay here.

He only had one shot.

That means two things.

What?

Either he killed Trent

and we're safe,

or he didn't.

And if he didn't, then what?

F*** it. I'd be willing to take

my chance with that rowboat.

F*** it.

- Anything to get off this island.

- Let's go.

Sh*t. We're f***ed.

Shh. Keep your voice down.

What if he hears us?

- Well, now what?

- I--

Maybe we should go back

in the house.

Are you kidding me?

We're way better off

holing up here until morning.

F***.

I'll stand guard

while you get some rest, okay?

He'! '

I'm not gonna close my eyes

until we're off this death trap.

- Did you hear that?

- Where is it coming from?

What the f*** is that?

Seriously, I can't take

this sh*t anymore.

- I want to get the f*** out of here.

- Just shut the f*** up for a second.

It's down here.

Oh, sh*t!

Don't look. Don't look.

Oh, my God.

Get it out of here.

Get it out of here.

Well, what do you want me to do?

I'm not going out there with it.

Just take it outside, and throw it

out the f***ing door in the water.

- Just get it out of my sight.

- Sh*t.

F***. Oh.

All right. All right.

Happy now?

Yes. Thank you.

Danny.

Danny.

Come on, wake up, man.

I told you not to drive.

- Jesus, you scared me.

- You unbelievable bastard!

- What the hell are you talking about?

- You killed Danny.

- You were driving the car.

- What?

I saw what you did.

You moved his f***ing dead body.

You killed Danny.

You're f***ing nuts. It's that game.

It's gotten inside your head.

It shows you

what you want to believe.

I don't believe a word you say!

Wait, wait, Kathy.

Listen to me.

When we were heading back

to the car that night,

I did see Danny

stumble and fall.

And I knew right then and there

I should have stopped him.

But you know what?

I didn't. I let him drive.

And that will haunt me

for the rest of my life, Kathy.

But I wasn't the one

who was driving.

You're a liar.

This isn't gonna bring him back.

He is dead.

And there's nothing I can do or say

that's gonna change that.

You know, when you snitched

about that bachelor party to everybody,

I lost everyone.

Now everyone hates me

because of you.

Haven't I suffered enough?

You could never

suffer enough!

Oh, sh*t.

Rick.

Rick, are you gonna answer

the question or what?

Simple answer--

yes or no.

- Ask him again, babe.

- Okay.

"In Echo's Pond,

sights thee have seen.

Choose to make them reality

or dream."

Rick? You pig.

- Rick, what the f***?

- He's no friend of mine.

Rick, is there

anybody in this room

that has something nice

to say about you?

Don't think

you're staying with me.

I only got a single bed

in my room.

- Grow the f*** up, Rick.

- I will never forgive you.

Nowhere in the rules does it say

that anyone has to forgive you.

Don't look so defeated.

Don't let the door kick you

in the ass on the way out.

- Why did you lie, Rick?

- You're a liar.

- You broke Erica's heart, Rick.

- You killed Danny!

You could never

suffer enough!
