Ryan!

Ryan!

Oh, my God. Reese.

Her neck. It's worse.

Okay, stay there.

Reese, hurry. Hurry.

God. What the hell? Come on.

That's locked.

I can get up there.

Oh, no.

Please, no, no, no. Please.

I need a light. I need a light.

Please work. Please work. Please work.

Ryan's phone.

Ryan's phone.

Yes. Yes.

Okay.

- Reese, what's going on?

- I don't know. The light on the camera died.

You think it has to do with the show?

You guys tried to stop it.

Pfeifer, please.

I think I found a way out.

I need you to stay with Cassidy, okay?

Where the hell...?

Dude, no.

No.

God.

Okay.

We're getting out of here.

It can't be.

It can't be. No.

No, where is it? It was right here.

It was just right here.

What the hell is going on?

Where are you?

Don't hang up.

Don't hang up! Come on.

Oh, come on. Please, please, please.

There. Come on, open!

No. No. What?

Come on!

Come on! Come on, don't hang up, Dad.

Don't hang up.

Where's that coming from?

It's my phone. It's in the locker.

It's in the locker. My dad's calling.

We gotta get it open.

Keep ringing. Don't hang up.

Get out of the way. Get out of the way.

- Hello? Dad? Dad.

- Who is it?

Dad. Dad, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm at the school.

He wants me. He's coming for me.

No!

Why?

Why?

Why did I do this stupid play?

I'm sorry I asked you to do this.

Oh, Pfeifer. Oh, God.

I'm sorry. It's not...

Do you have your cell phone on you?

Check your cell phone.

See if you have service, okay?

God.

Cassidy.

Cassidy!

Where is she?

Come on, Pfeifer, help me, please.

Cassidy, come on.

The other battery's in.

I think we should...

Oh, my God.

Cassidy.

Wait, the fire alarm.

- Come on, we gotta pull the fire alarm.

- What if he finds us?

- Fire alarm. There's one backstage.

- Stay close behind me.

The fire alarm's right up here.

What if it doesn't work?

It's gonna work.

Okay, pull it.

Pfeif, pull it.

He's gonna find us.

We have to try.

Reese.

Okay. Oh, my God. It worked.

- We're getting out of here.

- It worked.

We're okay, we're okay.

- Oh, Reese.

- We're okay, we're okay.

We're getting out of here.

We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna make it.

We're all gonna make it.

We're gonna be fine.

We're gonna get out of here.

The firemen will be here

any second, okay?

Should we wait on stage?

No. No. No, we're gonna stay right

here, okay? They're gonna find us right here.

Reese. What's that?

Do you not see it?

I don't see anything.

I saw a shadow. I know I saw a shadow.

Pfeifer. Where? I don't see it.

Reese, I'm scared.

There's nothing there, okay?

There's nothing there. You're okay.

- Okay.

- All right?

- Oh, sh*t!

- Aah!

Run! Go!

Up the ladder, go, go!

Run, run, run! Go, go higher, go!

Go, go! Come on!

Go. Go, go, go.

Oh, sh*t. Sh*t.

Keep climbing, keep climbing,

keep climbing!

Keep climbing, go!

- No! He's coming!

- Keep going!

- Take it, take it, here. Take it.

- Reese...

- Shine the light. I need the light.

- I know!

Just close it!

- Come on.

- Give me the camera.

- Open!

- Go!

- Sh*t.

- Go, go, go!

Reese.

I don't wanna go any farther.

- Pfeifer, we can't stay here.

- I'm not going.

We can't stay here.

Pfeifer, we gotta move.

I don't know what's back there.

Pfeifer, listen to me.

You have got to move. Please.

Reese.

It stopped.

- I think the police may be here.

- Okay, good.

- Someone turned the alarm off.

- Let's just stay here.

- That means they're here.

- I'm not going down there.

The police are here.

We have to get downstairs.

We're gonna be okay.

- We just gotta get down, okay?

- I don't want to go.

- I'm right here. I'm right here.

- I don't want to.

They turned the alarm off.

The police are down there.

- Come on.

- I hate this.

I'm right here. I'm right here.

I'm right here.

I'm right behind.

Take my hand. I'll get in front of you.

I'll go in front.

Okay?

Stay right here with me. It's okay.

It's all right.

Okay.

Pfeifer, we gotta duck down

under the vents, okay?

Stay with me.

What...?

What the hell? What...?

Oh, no.

It's gonna be okay.

Watch your head.

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

What is that?

Okay, it's no...

- Oh, my...!

- Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Aah!

Oh, my God.

Pfeifer, don't look. Don't look.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, guys.

This is all my fault.

Hey.

It's okay.

It's okay.

No.

Hey. Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?

I'm not gonna let anything

happen to you. Okay?

Let's go.

- I got it.
