So, what, you really think we can

keep going like we were doing it?

Huh? Maybe one missing person

file once in a while.

I can cover that up,

keep that under wraps.

But two bodies a week?

What in the f*** are you talking about?

Look at here.

I got a call

from the editor

of the local newspaper,

talking about missing persons.

Oh, maybe you didn't see this?

Well, that's amazing,

because everybody else

in this f***ing town

is talking about it except you!

And shut that little,

sniveling son of a b*tch up!

You shut him up now.

You shut him up now.

I've got this figured out.

You know what?

This is like... this is like a thrill

for you guys, right?

Adrenaline fi... fix.

You need this, right?

Right? Right?

You need this.

But you broke the rules...

all of you.

You did, you did

and you... especially you.

You broke the rules.

You did not pick your prey.

This isn't a little setback...

minor setback, my ass...

where we can just lay low,

come back and start again.

Nuh-uh. It's over.

- It's over because you f***ed up!

- Shut the f*** up,

you son of a b*tch! How dare you

talk to me about the rules?!

No one... no one has more respect

for the rules than I do.

No one! I think long

and hard about my prey,

and I don't rape 'em

after like you do, you pervert.

No. No, you did this.

You did this all by yourself.

You were out there setting up your little

f***ing candles

and jerking off

to your stage effects

when you should've been

with us, picking our f***ing prey,

- thinking what our move was gonna be.

- Guys, stop!

Stop!

We've gone too far!

Can't you see?

They're all f***ing screaming!

- They're f***ing screaming!

- Ronny, no.

- Even at home! They never f***ing stop!

- Ronny, listen to me!

- It's your imagination.

- It's not my f***ing imagination!

Your imagination.

They're nightmares, is all.

Ronny, I don't hear 'em.

I don't hear 'em.

Listen to me. You're cut up...

you're cut up about William.

I am too.

We all are.

But it's a risk we took.

It was our choice,

and there's risks everywhere

and you know that.

It's like that in nature.

You could go to the city

and get hit by a bus.

Death is all around us.

But listen to me...

William...

William, he died a good death.

He died a warrior's death.

We may never get that chance.

You forgot something.

The man called me

on my cellphone.

Do you know what that means?

He calls me on the phone,

he can call the cops.

If he calls the cops, we're not gonna

have a couple of squad cars out here.

We're gonna have

a SWAT team, helicopters...

the whole shebang!

Now you'd better wake up

and you'd better do

something about this man.

You'd better do something about him

right now or I will.

- F***!

- Whoa! Whoa, Ronny!

- Get away from me! Get away from me!

- Oh, for Christ's sake.

- Oh, for Christ's sake.

- Don't do this.

Don't do this, Ronny.

Listen, we...

we feel good here.

If we leave now,

we lose everything.

It'll all be gone, Ronny.

It'll all be gone.

Listen. Listen,

there'll be nothing left.

Listen to me.

I'm not gonna hunt him.

I'm not gonna hunt him, Ronny.

I'm gonna punish him.

- Me and Stephen.

- He's gotta die.

He's gotta f***ing die!

Calm down. Calm down, Stephen.

Calm down. Calm down.

- He's gonna die.

- William, come on with me.

I mean, Stephen,

come on with me.

Stay where you are, Stephen.

- Stephen, come on with me.

- Stephen, stay where you are.

- Stephen, get over here with me!

- Stephen, stay here!

Really?

What are you gonna do?

You really think you know

the fort well enough?

I'll handle this.

You have no choice.

In less than an hour,

this whole thing's gonna be over.

Watch out.

Watch where you step.

Oliver and Stephen put

this down three weeks ago.

You weren't here.

Sh*t.

We've been looking for you,

William.

What are you doing down here?

Are you trying

to get out? Huh?

You know there's

no exit around here.

Right, William?

Come on.

Get up.

Are you hurt, William?

Are you hurt?

You're bleeding.

Let's get back to camp.

Ronny's been waiting for you.

So's Bernard.

You know who Bernard is, right?

Chief of police?

Probably anxious to see him.

Go ahead.

We'll catch up.

Go ahead.

We'll catch up.

Won't we, Stephen?

We'll be right behind you.

There you go.

Yeah.

Get you, man!

F***ing... f***ing coward,

you ass!

Where's he gone?

Oliver, where's he gone?!

Die! Die!

Die! Die,

you f***ing a**hole!

What the hell is going on?

Die!

Ah!

F***!

Stephen, what are

you doing? F***!

F***!

F***.

F***.

You motherf***er!

Die! Huh?!

F***ing die!

F***!

Stephen?

Stephen?!

Oh sh*t. Stephen!

Stephen!

Stephen!

Is that what you wanted?

Is that what you wanted,

you son of a b*tch?!

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?!

F***ing answer me!

Are you happy now?

F*** you, son of a b*tch!

F***... f*** you!

Oliver.

Oliver.

Bernard.

You're Bernard.

Oh God.

Oliver...

my best friend Oliver...

he fell.

Oh my God, it was horrible.

He's hurt.

He's hurt, but he's not dead.

He's not dead.

Where is Le Saint?

Where's Le Saint?

I don't f***ing know!

I don't f***ing know where he is!

Now come on!

We've gotta f***ing help him.

We can't just leave him there.

We gotta get him to a doctor.

I know the best doctor.

I know a really really

f***ing good doctor.

This man is fantastic.

We gotta get him

to this doctor, okay?

Let's get him to the doctor.

Then we can quit.

We just walk away.

We'll never do it again.

And if we do that,

everything will be okay.

Everything will be okay.

Where are you going?

Where am I going?

I just wanna...

I just wanna f***ing

get out of here!

I wanna get out

of this f***ing place!

What?

What the f***?

Bernard, can you hear 'em?

Can you hear 'em?

They're here!

It's okay.

What are you doing,

running away from me?

I've been looking

for you for 10 minutes.

Come on, it's starting

to snow again.

You're gonna get

totally snowed on.

Hurry up.

If you think I'm going

in there, I'm not.

It's creepy.

All right.

You're right,

but at least

you'll be nice and dry.

Hey.

Welcome home, honey.

What do you think?

What am I supposed to think?

That it's kinda cool in here.

I suppose so.

I love this place.

Admit you didn't know about it.

Admit it was a good surprise.

Sometimes I think you forget

that we're from the same town.

- So?

- So I know all the same places.

I know all the same things.

I know your family.

You know my father.

We work at the same company.

- I...

- I'm not sure I'm following.

Don't you ever wanna leave?

It's always the same...

same faces, same streets,

same everything.

The snow is beautiful, huh?

You know what it reminds me of?

The day you won your medal.

I couldn't find the place.

Everybody was there

to see you dancing.

I had to watch from outside.

I mean you didn't

see me, but...

I was there.

I clapped

and I was frozen.

I haven't been

that happy in a long time.
