Why child, Whatca doing

out there, come on in.

You look hungry you know that?

REAGAN:
Do you have a phone?

Please help,

these guys they're after me.

CLAUDINE:
Gotta to tell me boy,

it's always some man I know.

REAGAN:
No, we need to call the police.

CLAUDINE:
Oh, let me go

on and get you some tea.

There ain't no police around

these parts. No way.

All we got is a sheriff,

but he ain't never

anywhere but the diner.

I'm happy to call him for you

though. You just have a seat.

It looks like you could use a rest.

REAGAN:
Ok.

[Phone rings]

Hello.

NOAH EVANS:
Hey Miss Claudine.

You come across anyone tonight?

CLAUDINE:
Hold on a sec.

REAGAN:
Who is that?

CLAUDINE:
Oh, it ain't nobody baby.

Won't be another moment or two

'till I get you all fixed up

with a nice plate.

Now how does that sound?

I'm back.

NOAH EVANS:
Is anyone there?

CLAUDINE:
Matter of fact,

there is right now.

NOAH EVANS:
Well, now that

must be nice, ain't it?

CLAUDINE:
Well, you know me, I

ain't had no company for weeks.

Not ever since that damn

truck stopped running.

You know, I'm

stuck out here all by lonesome.

NOAH EVANS:
Well then, why don't you

let us just come on by right now.

We'll remedy that for you.

CLAUDINE:
Oh really?

Well, that's wonderful.

I knew you boys get around

to it one of these days.

NOAH EVANS:
Oh, and, uh, why don't

you ask your guest to stick around.

CLAUDINE:
Okay.

NOAH EVANS:
We'd love to meet her.

CLAUDINE:
See you then.

NOAH EVANS:
Alright. Mace, you stay

where you're at, I'm coming to you.

CLAUDINE:
Now come on now. What's got

you bothered now that you can't take

near one bite off your plate?

REAGAN:
Um, they're after me.

CLAUDINE:
They? They sure get

do around now don't they. Well,

they're the reason things

got so messed up around here.

REAGAN:
Well, where am I?

CLAUDINE:
Well, you're

at Homer's Point child,

you ain't figured that out for yourself?

It's funny too, it used to be

called Parksburg. It was doing

quite well at that 'till people

started coming up missing.

REAGAN:
Missing?

CLAUDINE:
Yea. Boy, we'd look

high and low and never could

find nothing. Well after that,

weren't many people wanted to

come around here. I mean if you

got men and guns,

you're going to have an accident or two.

REAGAN:
Do you have a gun?

CLAUDINE:
Oh, what's an old lady

like me going to do with a gun?

REAGAN:
Um, um don't you ever

get worried about your safety

being out here all alone?

CLAUDINE:
You got a man?

REAGAN:
Oh no.

CLAUDINE:
You should. Hell,

I could fix you right up.

I know a couple boys who'd

really like you.

Good looking fellas too.

And rich to boot.

Were it not for the money

they spent on this town, why,

well, this town might not even

be here today.

We owe a lot to them boys.

REAGAN:
Oh, what do they look like?

CLAUDINE:
(LAUGH) Ain't you

got a head on your shoulders.

Now what was it? Handsome or rich,

probably both I bet ain't it?

Oh, one he's tall and strong,

and well put together.

Damn near could be a model.

The other he's rugged,

but in a nice way, you know.

A little unkempt,

but he'd clean up nice. Well

hell, you'll see for yourself,

they're going to be here any

minute. Are you going to eat

this sandwich sweetheart?

Well, I'm going to take it to

the kitchen then.

Everything alright darling?

REAGAN:
Oh, is there,

is there a road nearby?

CLAUDINE:
Uh, yeah, that way.

Oh, but you'd never find it.

Not unless you find the rose tree.

The forest it ain't no

place to lose your way.

I'm going to get

you some more tea, darling.

JARRING MUSIC:

Music Subsides

NOAH EVANS:
How we doing Mrs.

Willfellow?

CLAUDINE:
Well, I swear I

don't know what happened.

I just turned around and she was gone.

Hell, if I didn't know better

I'd figure she was

running from something.

NOAH EVANS:
Well, you

know how women are.

If it ain't one thing

it's another. Ain't that right.

CLAUDINE:
You're preaching

to the choir now, son.

NOAH EVANS:
Well, this sure is a nice

place you got here, now ain't it?

CLAUDINE:
It sure is.

NOAH EVANS:
I remember that old

trailer you had the first time

we came across you out here.

What was that, uh, a Spartan?

MASON:
Schults. 24 footer.

NOAH EVANS:
That's right.

CLAUDINE:
And I do appreciate all

that you've done for me now.

Don't think I don't now.

NOAH EVANS:
And we do appreciate

you picking up that phone.

We truly do.

CLAUDINE:
Oh, I don't really

get many calls out here,

so it wasn't any trouble.

No problem at all.

You boys going hunting?

NOAH EVANS:
Uh, yeah, you

could say that. Now, uh,

this girl. Do you have any idea

which way she may be headed?

'Cause it would

be a terrible shame if that

fragile young thing had to spend

another night out

in the woods alone, you know.

CLAUDINE:
Well, I figure the way

she was talking she needed to

get some place high, maybe

find the road.

NOAH EVANS:
Thank you.

You know, you've always

been such a good

help to us over these years.

CLAUDINE:
Well, I do what I can.

Wasn't one of y'all going

to take a look at my truck?

NOAH EVANS:
Excuse me.

CLAUDINE:
My truck, I

figure since you're here...

NOAH EVANS:
Does it look like we

have time to do your bidding?

You must have our roles

confused now don't you?

CLAUDINE:
I didn't mean nothing by it.

NOAH EVANS:
And we didn't mean nothing

by it. You know that now don't you?

MASON:
Claudine.

CLAUDINE:
Yeah?

MASON:
You still got that,

uh, spare tire in the back?

CLAUDINE:
Yes.

INTENSE HORRIFYING STRINGS

NOAH EVANS:
Follow her on foot. She

couldn't have gotten that far.

I'm going to grab the rifles,

and make my way back,

then I'll meet you in the middle.

KIM:

(LAUGH) What?

REAGAN:
I'm a grown ass woman,

I'm allowed to come late.

You must have been gone too long.

KIM:
Oh god, I told you I'd come back.

It's college.

What do you want me to do?

Oh, you want me to stay

with my kid sis forever.

REAGAN:
What?

KIM:
Shhh.

REAGAN:
You moved first.

KIM:
Okay. On the count

of three we're going to

move to the bedroom, okay? 1... 2...

REAGAN:
I'm glad you're home. 'Cause

now I'm going to kick your ass.

KIM:
Oh, I missed you sis.

I got an idea.

Next weekend come up to campus, huh.

I'll show you how college girls

really know how to bond.

REAGAN:
Yeah, I can do that.

KIM:

Shh! Three! (LAUGH)

REAGAN:

Hey! (LAUGH)

MASON:
Don't, don't... Now come on.

Don't fight.

MASON:
No. Come on, come on, easy...

[sound of a boat]

[splash sound]

MASON:
F***!

[door sounds]

ZOE:
Please come let me out of here.

Please,

I have a little sister. I'm all

she has. Please,

she's going to be so worried.

Please let me out of here.

Please, if you let me out of

here, no one

will know that I

was ever here. No one will know

anything happened, I'll just

run, really fast, and

no one will know that I was here.

NOAH EVANS:
Yeah.

Don't you worry, I'll come

back for you, okay.

Shh, good girl. Come on.
