hide him someplace safe.

Felix, can you give us a hand?

On three. One, two, three.

(GRUNTING)

What's the best room

for us all to be in?

All the rooms have windows

in them, except for the basement.

No, the basement's a bad idea.

They could just pour gas down the

stairs and throw in a match.

We should stay in there and keep boarding

up the windows. Sh*t, speaking of.

()

Okay, we should each carry a weapon.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

So your dad bought this place

to fix up?

Yeah. Supposed to be

his retirement project,

something for him to work on,

but I'm pretty sure so far

he's just paid other people

to work on it.

Hey!

(BEDSPRINGS SQUEAK)

You're gonna break this bed.

It's like a hundred years old.

Sorry. Your folks seem cool.

I mean, for people with money.

You're lucky.

(SCOFFS)

I guess.

No, you are.

You don't know what most people would

give to have folks like yours.

(CRISPIAN SIGHS)

Whatever that means.

(CHUCKLES)

Come here.

So your brothers and sister

get in tomorrow?

Yeah. Tomorrow is my parents'

actual anniversary.

Thirty-five years,

can you imagine?

No. I can't, really.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

ERIN:
Anyone know this guy?

Although it's kind of hard to tell.

()

Hey. I'm sure Crispian's fine.

Crispian's a tough guy.

No, he's not, but thanks.

Thanks for the help, by the way.

Hey, you...

You seemed to have a handle on it.

Yeah, don't worry about it.

(PANTING)

Hey, where's your dad?

Where's the circuit box?

I don't know.

I think it's in the basement.

Why don't you go look for it? I'm gonna

go upstairs and try to find my clad.

Oh!

Dad!

Felix!

(WHISPERING) One of

them was in the bedroom.

They've been watching us for days.

While we were sleeping.

This wasn't a random attack, Felix.

Dad, it's okay.

Yeah.

Calm down.

You understand what I'm saying?

Our family is being targeted.

()

(GASPING)

(CHOKING)

(GURGLING)

Really? You had to do that

right in front of me?

Are you saying something?

Yeah, you know what? Never mind.

You Okay?

Yeah. I just...

I just need to get washed up.

(LOCK CLICKS)

I woke up in there.

Yeah. You blacked out.

We put you there to hide you.

Thanks.

Welcome.

(GROANS)

Where's Kelly?

Uh...

I don't know.

(FOOTSTEPS)

Are you guys okay?

What's going on?

We heard noises,

so we stayed upstairs.

What happened?

One of them came in

and attacked us.

I stabbed him and he ran away.

Come on.

FELIX:
You stabbed him?

ERIN:
Yeah.

FELIX:
Do you think you

might have killed him?

No, he ran out the door.

Was there anyone upstairs?

We didn't find anyone.

Whoever was there

could have climbed out the window.

Is your dad okay?

Yeah. He...

He just needed to lie down.

How many of them

do you think there are?

There'd have to be

at least two more of them.

Well, maybe they're gone.

Maybe you scared them off.

(GROANING)

Come here.

Let's not count on that. Come on.

There's some tools left in the basement

that I think we could use.

Let's head down there.

Okay. Grab anything sharp or heavy

that might make a good weapon

but you need to do it fast.

We've gotta be upstairs.

FELIX:
Yeah, let's go through Dad's tools.

There's plenty of stuff

we could use there.

Zee, can you grab these?

Okay. That'll be enough

to get started.

Let's go. And don't take too long!

()

ERIN:
Drake doesn't need

to see her like this.

Zee, let me show you

something quickly?

(METAL CLATTERING)

Okay, so you just want to make sure

that the nail goes all the way through.

(HAMMERING)

See that?

Mm-hm.

Just do, say, four or five on this one?

And we'll just do as many as we can.

Okay.

Can I ask you something?

(HAMMERING)

How did you learn all this stuff?

Well, I had kind of a Weird childhood.

I grew up on a survivalist compound.

I haven't even told Crispian that yet.

Good answer.

Well, I guess when I was born,

my dad got kind of paranoid.

He was convinced that the world

was gonna run out of resources

in a matter of years.

Found a lot of guys who agreed with

him, and we all moved to the Outback.

Basically, if things got too

overpopulated, even out there,

he wanted me to be able

to take care of myself.

Moved to the States

with Mom when I was 15

but I learned a lot beforehand.

Wow. That's crazy.

Got some things here.

So nobody knows where Crispian is?

No, he... He ran out

right after Kelly did.

All right. I gotta go look for them.

I at least have to try.

I can't leave Kelly out there.

What do you mean?

Drake, Kelly's dead.

What?

FELIX:
Kelly's dead.

You didn't know that?

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

I didn't want to have to tell you

like this, but she got killed.

Her body's up there

on the floor right now.

Drake, I'm sorry. I...

Shut up! Felix!

I know you cared about her.

Shut up! Shut up! Stop talking!

(SLICING)

I'm sorry.

(FLESH SQUELCHING)

(GRUNTS THEN GROANS)

(GRUNTING)

Would you just die already?

This is hard enough for me.

Mm-hm.

Finished that one?

Cool. You know, it might not be a

bad idea to do at least one more.

I'm gonna go check

on their dad upstairs.

When the boys come up,

make sure they have some rope.

Uh, I can do it. I can go.

Do you wanna come with me?

We can go together.

No, that's okay.

I'll just do another board.

Okay. Be careful.

FELIX:
Hey. Would you

mind checking on that?

I believe this is

what I'm paying you for.

()

Uh, thanks.

(SIGHS)

What a f***ing disaster.

It's okay, baby. It'll be over soon.

(BOTH MOANING)

I'm not really in the mood

right new, Zee.

Come on. I'll make it quick.

I want you to f*** me on this bed,

next to your dead mom.

What? Why would you even

say something like that?

(SIGHS)

You never want to do

anything interesting.

I don't think that's a fair criticism.

F*** me next to

your dead mom, then.

This conversation is over.

()

Hm.

MAN:
Oh! F***. Unh!

(GROANING)

Whoa, whoa, wait! Don't do that!

You don't want your DNA

in here, man.

I'll clean it up later.

Just like the rest

of this f***ing mess.

Excuse me?

You say that like it's my fault.

Listen. Just so we're perfectly clear.

I just had to kill my own brother

because you guys keep

getting beat up by some girl!

I had to stab my brother,

more than once!

You were supposed to do that.

For all the good you guys did in here,

you could have stayed outside

with your f***ing crossbows!

You wanna talk about brothers?

That's my brother,

laying dead right there.

And unlike you,

I liked my brother.
