The Pack Page #2

---

I'm not here to insult

your intelligence.

Then, why are you here?

I'm here to offer you both one last

chance to wipe the slate clean.

Not in a pink fit.

What does that mean?

We rather this doesn't play out

in front of the legal system.

Okay... How much?

Two... hundred...

200,000...

It's even less

than the last offer.

And what if we refuse?

Then, we'll see no option

but to drag it through the courts.

It's a long and tedious process...

but you and your family

will be served an eviction notice.

And you'll be forced

to vacate the property

within the next 48 hours.

MAN:
This land

and all your assets on it

will be sold at auction

to the highest bidder.

The sale total,

minus various fees and charges.

Let's just say, all you'll be left with

is the noose.

[ Chuckles ]

And if we take it?

Your family can relocate

and start afresh.

With a little money in the bank.

A sea change, maybe.

Oh, we're not selling.

This conversation's over.

- We should take it.

- Sophie, stay out of this.

I live here too, which means

I have the right to an opinion.

- ADAM:
You don't understand...

- So what, if I wanna leave?

All you care about is yourself

and this stupid farm.

That's enough.

- We'll take it.

- I don't believe we've met.

I said, that's enough!

You're out of line.

We'll talk about this later.

Perhaps it's best, I give you time

to think it over.

You stay off my property.

Understood?

Hmm.

[ Barking ]

[ Engine starts ]

[ Birds chirping ]

It's okay, mate.

Everything's going to be okay.

I'm doing what's right.

For who?

We could lose everything.

We're never gonna lose this place.

- I don't want to leave.

- We're not going anywhere, mate.

It's okay.

Head inside.

[ Chuckling ]

Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

You're gonna get it.

No, you get the generator.

ADAM:

Check the basement fuse box.

I'm gonna get the genny started.

Okay!

Come on, Mister.

Why don't you do it?

Hate it down there.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, I need you

to hold the light for me.

[ Sighs ]

Come on.

Henry, the flashlight.

All right...

[ Sighs ]

No.

[Animal panting ]

All right.

Sweets, I can't see anything

if you're waving

that light around.

I hope there are no killer spiders

in here.

There it is.

There's someone trying

to break into our house.

[ Thud, glass breaking ]

OPERATOR:
Are they

on the premises now, Ma'am?

YES.

Yes, can you send someone out

to our house, please?

OPERATOR:
Tell me exactly

what's happening.

Ma'am?

We... we have two children.

Just tell 'em to hurry up

and get the hell out here.

[ Growling ]

OPERATOR:
Ma'am?

Is anyone hurt?

[ Growling continues ]

Adam, the kids.

[ Glass breaking ]

- I'm fine.

Move your fingers for me.

CARLA:
Well, I don't think

anything's broken,

but... look away.

[ Gasps ]

The phone's busted.

But you got onto someone,

right, Mom?

We can only hope.

Umm...

Dad?

Where's Ollie?

What the hell was that?

It wasn't exactly someone's pet.

It was strong.

Took me down

like a sledge hammer.

Domestic breeds, even wolves...

they're usually more afraid of us

than we are of them.

I've never even heard of an animal

to behave that way.

Clean tea towels in the pantry.

A wild strain,

they're all interbreeding...

Is clad gonna get rabies?

No, son.

CARLA:
It'd be rare for an animal

with rabies

to try and force its way

through a glass window.

Yeah, or the front door.

JESUS.

Toughen up.

[ Snickers ]

[ Howling ]

How many of them are out there?
