- Do you even have a brother?

- Of course I do.

What's his name?

Mikey.

- Which ear is he deaf in?

- His... His...

Okay, yes, I wanted to get

closer to you for the story.

Yes, but also mainly to get

closer to a pretty girl in the bar.

- Who are you?

- Everything else I told you is true.

- When did you meet Jess?

- I've never met her.

- Yes, you did.

- Why do you keep saying that? It was just a line in a bar.

- Give me your phone.

- Why?

- Why not?

- Because it's my phone.

You're hiding something?

You're getting just a little too

agitated. It's making me uncomfortable.

I'm lost in the woods with a

strange man who's been lying to me,

and I do not give a sh*t if it

makes you feel uncomfortable.

- Now, give me your phone!

- All right, calm down.

I'll give you the phone.

- Don't mess with it first.

- I'm unlocking it!

- What are you doing?

- I'm deleting all the recordings.

If you even are a journalist,

then permission is revoked.

You cannot use my story.

How do you...

How do you what?

Oh, my God.

What?

You met me on purpose, didn't you?

I don't know what you think...

or what you're talking about.

- What did you do to her?

- Who, Jess?

- Yeah.

- I've never met her.

There are photos right here on this phone.

- Give me the phone.

- Stay back.

- Give me the damn phone!

- No!

Give me it!

(phone hits ground)

Sara!

Hey, you're gonna get lost!

Come back!

Sara!

No.

Sara!

Aiden?

Sara!

FEMALE VOICE:
Turn around, Sara.

No. (sniffles)

No.

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

- (sobs)

- Turn around, Sara.

You're not real!

Turn around, Sara.

Turn around, Sara.

(gasps)

(speaking Japanese)

- Michi?

- Rob. Hey.

We'll find her. Don't worry.

(screaming)

(loud shriek)

(clattering)

GIRL'S VOICE (singsongy): Sara.

GIRL'S VOICE (singsongy): Sara.

Sara.

It's me, Hoshiko.

- What are you doing down here?

- Come.

- Come where?

- You come.

Miss Jess want to see you.

Jess?

- I take you.

- Down here?

- (screeching in distance)

- What's making that noise?

- Animal.

- That doesn't sound like an animal.

Why is Jess down here?

Tell me!

(shrieks)

Help!

Can you hear me?

Help!

Help!

- AIDEN:
Sara?

- Aiden?

- Sara.

- Aiden!

- You gotta get me out of here.

- Hold on.

I'm gonna find something

to throw down for you.

Aiden, don't leave me, please! No!

No.

No.

If you see something bad, it's

not real. It's just in your head.

If you see something bad, it's

not real. It's in your head.

If you see something bad, it's

not real. It's in your head.

It's in your head.

It's in your head.

It's in your head.

(insect buzzing)

(gasps)

No.

(screams)

No! (screaming)

- AIDEN:
Sara!

- Aiden.

Sara, hang on.

(sobbing) Aiden, get me out of here.

Okay. All right, grab that.

I gotcha.

Okay.

- Pull.

- (grunts)

Hey.

Sara, you okay?

Michi was right.

The forest does make you see things.

Look.

I found a place.

It might have a radio. It's a

ranger station. It's not that far.

You just stumbled across it right now?

(backpack unzips)

Here.

Take the knife.

Why am I taking the knife?

So you trust me more.

We're in this together, right?

Right.

Just let me wash off first.

AIDEN:
Sara.

- You all right?

- (gasps)

I'm fine!

Well, if there's no radio, at

least we got a place to sleep.

Hello?

Come on, baby. Come on. Work.

(clicking)

Hey, Sara, give me the knife.

What?

The knife... let me have it.

- Why?

- So I can open this thing up.

Or I can smash it on the damn

table! Just give me the knife!

(rattling)

(clicking)

Why do you think they locked the basement?

What makes you think it's a basement?

What else would it be?

I don't know. A closet?

- JESS:
Sara?

- Jess?

- Jess?

- Shh.

Oh!

Okay.

- Okay.

- God, please be real.

AIDEN:
Hey, do you wanna chow down

before it gets too dark to see?

Huh?

Sara, what are you doing?

Here, it's the last one. You can have it.

Come on. Take it.

I don't know if the

forest made you a psycho

or if you were crazy anyways.

But if you don't let my

sister out of that basement,

I will kill you.

Sara.

Wake up.

Your sister is dead.

- She's been in here for five days.

- Give me the key.

Okay. All right. All right.

I'll let her out, okay?

Just let me get the key.

- Where is it?

- It's in my boot.

Let me get it.

Yeah.

(groans)

(gasps)

(coughing)

(gasping, coughing)

(door opens)

- (hinge creaking)

- Jess?

She...

She's not here.

(gasping)

Jess.

Jess?

Jess, no. Stop. Don't look. Don't look.

Don't look.

Don't look. (gasps)

Oh, God.

Daddy, why?

- Oh, Daddy.

- (gasps)

Oh, God.

Go!

Go, go, go.

Daddy. Daddy, no. Let me go!

Let me... go!

(screaming)

(officer speaking Japanese)

MICHI:
We should go.

(speaks Japanese)

(screaming)

JESS:
Oh, God, help!

- Jess?

- Please, somebody help! Help me!

Oh, God, Jess.

Jess!

Jess!

Jess!

Jess!

Jess!

Wait!

(speaking Japanese)

(whimpering)

- Oh, God, help me.

- Sara?

Sara. Hey. Hey.

(whimpering) Don't touch me!

Jess. Jess.

It's me. It's Rob.

Rob?

- Is that you?

- Yeah.

Oh, God!

I've been lost for days.

I didn't think I'd make it.

- Hey, hey. Have you seen Sara?

- What?

- Have you seen Sara?

- She's not with you?

No.

No.

Please, let me go.

Let me go!

No! No!

No! No!

No! (screaming)

She came for me.

She came for me.

She knew you were still alive.

We go back in first thing, all right?

- We have to go back right now.

- ROB:
No, no, no.

- Right now.

- Jess. Hey.

What?

Nothing.

That's the...

It's silent.

Okay.

Oh, Sara.
