Adele? It's you! Where have you been? We've been so worried about you. Why? You okay? What did you do? What did you do? What did you do? What did you do? Zoey, hey. What are you fussing about, huh? Ohh. How can such a little baby make so much of noise huh? Zoey. Hey, it's okay. Is there any sign of him? No. He should be here by now. Sure everything's fine. Mom, why don't you just... Sit down and relax. They should've been here by now. - Looks like someone wants Nana. - Ohh. Oh, god. Look at you. Look at you. Yeah. Everybody likes you. Ah, don't bother. Reception up here is for shit. Daddy's coming home soon. I'm sorry, can I have her back? I know I'm crazy. Oh, no. You're a mom. There you go. - What's wrong? - It's the tire. What the fuck! Get on the fucking ground now. Hey! - What is this? - Get on the fucking ground now. On your stomach! Get up. Come on. Get up. You good? It's time. Hey, Campbell give us a hand here will you. - What happened to you? - It's nothing. Let's get him inside. You grab his legs, okay. Let's get him upstairs. Mom, come on, let's go! Ahh, okay. Okay, right. Alright, get the jacket off. Okay. What the hell! Jesus. Tie him up. - Mom. - Hey. Yes, it's me Justin. I'm here baby. I'm here, it's me. Easy, Kathy. Cam, what are you doing? It's gonna be okay, Justin. - What is this shit? - -Justin. Hey. - He's gonna break it. - Take it easy, okay. I'm sorry. The ropes are a necessity right now. - I'm sorry. - Who the hell are you? My name is Jimmy. I'm here to help you. We're all here to help you. You should all think about helping yourselves. - Justin. - My name is not Justin! Your name's not Justin. Alright. It's my mistake. - You untie me now. - You're not getting out of that chair until you start making some sense. Calm down. Jesus. - Calm down, Justin! - I'm not Justin! You're not Justin? Your family told me - your name was Justin. - They're not my family. Well, I'm pretty sure that's your father, Andrew. This is your mother, Kathy. Your brother, Campbell. And your girlfriend, Samantha. And this is your baby. - Thanatos - excuse me. - Thanatos. - Thanatos? Is that your name? Thanatos. So, who named you that because it wasn't your parents? No. My real family. Listen to me Justin. Your family is very concerned about you. They wanna talk to Justin. What's going on, Justin? Talk to me. We were just talking here. Come on man. Open your eyes. Son. Look at these pigs. Lined up for slaughter. You greased hogs. - Waiting for the knife. - No. Untie me now. Or I will watch you suffer and bleed. Bleed out like the fucking pigs you are! I will bathe your blood the whole fucking lot of you! That's enough. My son would never talk to me like that. - Here, piggy, piggy, piggy. - You little piece of shit! Get off of him! Come get me, Campbell. When was the last time you ever protected anybody, huh? Your window of opportunity is closing piggies. Untie me now or suffer the... Why are you looking at her like that? This is your little girl. Our little girl. What the hell is wrong with you? That's it! Everybody out. Out! Out! Outta the room. Jesus Christ, Campbell. You gotta calm down. Fuck off! Look, I know what you're going through. - I've been there. - Yeah, the hell you have. Look, we got your brother back alive. Alright? So that's a start. - Sorry about that. - That's alright. Let's focus on Justin now, okay? What have they done to him? That's not my boy. They brain washed him. And they've done - a pretty good job on him. - I don't even know who that is up there. That's not my son. - It's some kind of animal. - We've talked about this, okay? He doesn't seem like himself, but it is Justin up there. Keep reminding yourself. That is your son. That's your brother. Your boyfriend. There's a lot I can do to try and bring him back. But I can't if you give up on him. He needs to know that you still love him. And you're going to accept him. Once he let's go all this bullshit that monster put into his head. It's not an easy task. I'm gonna ask you to do some of the hardest things you've ever done in your whole life. And when I ask you to, you're gonna do them. No questions. We need to reach inside find Justin and bring him back. And I can't do that without you. Is that understood? Campbell? Fine. I gotta get back upstairs. You guys just try and relax for a while. I'll let you know when I need you. - Well, I need a cigarette. - When did you start smoking? Right around the time you left. Thanatos. Normal folks, they... They don't understand do they? Freedom. Power. They're just stuck in there. Your world, a nine to five job, dealing with mortgages and bills. While you're just a kid. Everybody's telling you don't do this, don't do that, right? Your new family. They don't use that word don't, do they? It's not in their vocabulary. They don't punish indulgence. They applaud it. Must be something. You're gonna do whatever you want. Whenever you want. Sin without consequence. Took a hell of a time getting your brother off you. I don't think he likes me very much. Seems to be hiding something to me. I don't know. I have a brother like Campbell. When we were growing up I hated him, man. I mean he was such a prick. Always beating the hell outta me. I joined the marines so one day I could take him on. Give him a little payback, you know? Because I think there are two kinds of brothers. There are the ones that back you up in a fight. And then there are the ones that throw you to the wolves as they sit back, laugh and point at you while you're eating shit. I bet I know which kind Campbell is. Hey. Do you have another one of those? Thanks. Where's the baby? Your mom's watching her for me. Guess you're okay with her doing that with a drink in her hand. Why won't you lay off of her? She just watched her son turn into a complete lunatic. Yeah. Yeah. He went and got himself completely fucked up in the head. Yeah, mom and dad are insane if they think g.I. Joe's gonna pull him outta it. 'Cause that guy - is a fucking asshole. - We have to try. - Okay, Zoey needs her father. - Face it, Sam. Justin is never going to be dad material even if this bullshit actually works. You have no idea how hard it is. I had to drop out of school to have Zoey. We all want him back. He used to love coming to this place when we were kids. As soon as we got here every summer, he'd go off into the woods on his own. And we'd think he was lost. Mom would panic. But then we would find him under a tree somewhere playing weirdo games with pine cones and animals bones and shit. Yeah that sounds like Justin. There was an owl that lived in this tree. I would tell Justin that it was the devil watching him that if he didn't do everything I told him it would kill him in his sleep. I thought it would scare the shit out of him, but he got a sleeping bag and he spent the whole night right here. Just to prove me wrong. You know they're into that kind of stuff too. Who is? His family? Deep dark forest. Creatures of the night. Come on. Let's head back. We really let him down, didn't we? Speak for yourself. There's only person responsible for Justin. Here you go. Your leader must be an amazing guy to have you so devoted to him. I mean, he says jump. You say how high? He told you about the cataclysm, right? The revolution he's got planned. The war where he comes out on top and kills everyone else that's unworthy of being in his club. "The unworthy will know, unimaginable suffering and there will be a blood bath that will cleanse the earth." You read this I assume. Of course, you have. Your boss wrote it, right. What makes you one of the worthy? Has it ever occurred to you that you may be part of that family because they're using you? I mean revolutions ain't cheap, buddy. They know you're a rich kid. They know your dad's well connected. When do you think they're gonna cash in on that? Look, I know they made you feel special. Accepted you... But you're a smart kid. I can tell you're smart. Why can't you see you're just a tool to them? They prey on the weak, that's their gig! Hey, I'm talking to you... Fuck! What did you do? Bite your fucking tongue? Here. We wouldn't want it to get infected now, would we? Open up your god damn mouth! How about that? There you go! Now they'll know that at least they gave you a little first aid treatment when you got injured. Come here. Let me clean you up. There you go. Yeah. There you go. How could I ever let this happen? It's not your fault, Kath. You always told me I babied him too much. I was too hard on him. Justin's always been the sensitive one. I shouldn't have got so upset with him when I found out that he got her pregnant. I should've just told him to use rubbers years before. Yeah as if it would've mattered. I saw the pain attached to his life. He never recovered from the divorce. Yeah, I should've handled that better too. I'm the one that drove him straight into their arms. Andrew, I blame you for a lot of things. I don't blame you for this. You're up, Samantha. Leave the baby, just you. - How's he doing? - Look, there's a system to this. We'll get through to him. - You okay? - Yeah, I'm just nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about, alright? You're gonna go up there, you're gonna talk to him about the things we discussed. Don't get too close to him. There's some blood on his shirt, but it's nothing. - Okay, did he say anything or... - No, so don't expect it. - Okay. - Just be strong. Stick to what we talked about, alright. Okay. Hey, Justin. I wanted to apologize for the last time I saw you. I told you Zoey would be better off without you but... I didn't mean that. I was just upset and I'm sorry. Your parents have been really great to us. Me and Zoey, I don't... I don't know what I would have done without them. And I know that they freaked out at first, but they love her so much. You know we're... we're living with your mom now. She has plenty of room and a nice house. We really want you to live with us too. Zoey has your eyes. He's lashing out due to feelings of guilt. Even fear of what the cult itself might be thinking about him right now. It's a normal reaction. He's torn between two father figures. Come on. This is all just a waste of time. So helping your brother is just a waste of time? Oh, you're gonna psychoanalyze me now Mr. tough love? Cam, that's enough out of you. I'm already fighting with your brother. I'm not gonna fight with you too. I need your help. Okay. - Someone's out there. - What? Where? Where the swings at. God dammit, Justin. Why won't you talk to me? Stop this, it's me. It's Sam. You have to know that I still love you. Okay, all I care about is our future. - Together. You, me and Zoey. - Where's the baby? What? Zoey's downstairs sleeping. Not for long. What? Hey! Why would you say that? That's your baby. Your little girl. - Don't you care? - Of course, I care. My brothers and sisters, we need all the babies we can get. They are the future after all. You're on private property. It's time to move on. Did you hear what I said? Hey! Fuck. What? Justin, why are you acting like this? You're scaring me. The hell are you doing? What just happened? Dad? Kathy, I need you to call the police. Tell them to get up here as fast as they can. You're not going out there. - I'm going with you. - Campbell, no. - What was that? - The cars. Let's go. You lock this door behind me. Okay. Okay. Jimmy. Jimmy! What do you want? Now, let's go. Go. Go! - Mom, open the door. - Shit. - Where's Jimmy? - There are people out there. What people? - Oh, my god. - They've come for me. My brothers and sisters, they've come for me. Did you get through to the police? The phone's dead. Someone cut the line. Andrew, who the hell is out there? Justin's cult. He said they've come to take him back. Oh, god. Right, Kathy. You make sure the kitchen windows are locked, alright. - Campbell, get my tool box. - Okay. Samantha, there's some kerosene lanterns - in the hallway. - Okay. We need to gather everything that we can - that can be used as a weapon. - Well, how many of them are there out there? - I don't know. - Are there three of them? - Are there 30 of them? - I don't know. - Can we try talking to them? - We tried that, mom. Okay, these are crazy people. You've heard about what they do. - They already got Jimmy. - What? What do you mean? What happened? We don't know. Oh, my god. Here. Knives. How far is the closest neighbor? At least a mile away. I need to change her diaper. Okay. I'll go with you. - Okay. - I'm gonna go - check on Justin. - Yeah. Hey, son. You okay? Just wanted to bring you some light. Remember when I brought that lava lamp in here for you and your brother? I thought that maybe you might be scared of the dark. Turned out that your brother was scared of the lava lamp. - Anything? - No, nothing. I think if these assholes were serious they would've done something by now. Well, they did something to Jimmy, right. Do you think... It's Jimmy's tattoo. What? No. It's okay. It's okay. Stay here. Campbell. - It's Jimmy. - No, dad. Wait, wait. It's Jimmy. The door. Let's get him to the bedroom. Give me a towel. Go check on the girls, make sure they're safe. And make sure the doors are locked. - Ahh, fuck! - Jimmy, what happened? - I underestimated them. - Okay, I'll get you - to a hospital, Jimmy. - There's no time. There's too many of them. They're fucking everywhere. - How many came in? - Just one. They're toying with you. They want him to redeem himself. Justin on his own. They're not gonna stop. - Fuck. - Jimmy, Jimmy. Oh, fuck! How did Justin get involved with these people? He's never been violent. He's a young man. Young men need to find their tribe. He needs something to believe in. Well, then we failed him as parents. - What are they doing out there? - Nothing. - Can you still see them? - No. Maybe they've gone. What are we gonna do? I haven't figured that out yet. What about the cars? I don't think that's gonna work. How'd these assholes even find us here? While we grabbed Justin, there was another kid with him. He must've known about the cabin. What if one of us... By one of us, I mean me, makes a run out of the backdoor to try and get help. - Campbell, no. - But, I'm fast. And I'll body check any lunatic who tries to slow me down. No, I can't risk you getting caught. What if we cause some sort of distraction? - A diversion. - Yeah. We could get all of their attention to the front of the cabin - and send cam out the back. - Yes. - No! - Well, do you have any other ideas at all? I know your usual solution to problems is just throw money at them, but the guy you paid - this time is dead. - We're not gonna risk them catching you. No, Campbell. Why don't they just get it over with, huh? Why haven't they just smashed the windows and killed us? It's a show of force for them. They want us to submit. Well, then what about this? Why don't we just give him to them? - What? - They already killed one person. They just tried to kill you and me. If all they want is Justin, why don't we just hand - the little shit over to them? - That's your brother - you're talking about... - It's what they want! - It's what he wants. - How can you - even think like that? - Oh, come on. - We're all thinking it. - We are not giving - your brother over. - We can not give him back - to them, cam. No. - We need to stick together as a family. A family? What family? - You and mom split up. - Campbell... It's my fault your mother left. I was cheating on her. All those late nights. Business meetings. Okay, guys. This really is not the time for this. Yeah. I felt sorry for you. Defended you. Dammit, I was on your side! I was on your side! I get it, dad. It's that guilty conscience of yours that you're so disappointed didn't get passed on to your sons. You really thought hiring Jimmy, getting Justin back, bringing all of us here to the cabin. You actually thought that it would put things back together, didn't you? Saving Justin redeems you. Well, I hate to break it to you, but our best bet right now is to go upstairs, untie him and let him march out that fucking front door to rejoin the psycho brigade. And who's to say they wouldn't burn the cabin down with us in it after we give him back? Campbell, no wait. They're everywhere. - He's back. - What? He wants us to turn Justin over. So this is it! We hand him over. Come on, - this is our chance. - Campbell, no. - Get out of my way. - No. These people are fucking wackos, Sam. What do you think happens when they get their hands on Zoey? Is it really worth what they'll do to her if we don't hand him over now? - Move! - No. Samantha, I swear to god if you don't get out of my way - I will knock you on your ass. - God dammit, what is this? What are you doing, baby? What are you talking? - Oh, my god. What is that? - Everything's locked, right? Yeah. Okay, we gotta go upstairs and get your brother. - Okay. - I have to get Zoey. That's him. Who? The kid who was with Justin. You killed my brother. Your brother? I'm your brother, you little shit! You're a monster. Let's get him downstairs. I want to do something that we haven't done for a long time. Just have a conversation. Okay. - You're dead. - Shut up. He's gonna save me and deliver me to my brothers and sisters. You and that tough guy, Jimmy. Where is he by the way? He's dead. They killed him. I knew it. How did they kill him? Was it something spectacular? Hmm? I bet it was. - Justin... - My name is Thanatos! Okay? Is there something we can tell those people outside to make them stop? Let me go! - No. - I won't do that. Well then we'll just sit here and prolong the inevitable. They'll come in here soon and when they do... Oh, they'll rape these two. Make you watch before they cut your fucking heads off. - Campbell, no. - No, that's enough. Maybe you forgot all the times I kicked your ass over the years little man, huh? It all just came back to me. I'm gonna savor watching you suffer. They'll skin you alive. - Yeah, I'd like to see that... - Back off! - I'll like to see them try! - That's enough! Back off! - You hear the shit he's saying? - Yeah, he doesn't know - what's he's talking about. - Jesus Christ, dad! He's fucking faking it! He's playing us. Justin, can't you see what we're trying to do for you? We are all here for you and we all love you. Do you understand that? We just want our Justin back. That's all. Stop this. Look at me. Look at me. Whatever you've done. We love you. We just want you to come back. You're my baby. You are my baby. Remember all the wonderful times we had here. All the promises we made to each other. You remember? God damn you. Fuck, god. You gotta get it together! You gotta get it together! Alright? I can count on you, right? Right? You really think you can make it to that cabin? Yeah, yeah. I mean it's only a mile and a half? I know this forest, I can do it. What are you going to do to distract him? I'm gonna give them what they want. Here he is! Here's your Thanatos! Come out. Come out! I know you're out there. - Come out and get him. - Oh, god! You want him, you got him. You win. Do you think that's all of them? I hope so. Okay. - I think they're all up front. - The second I'm out the door, you close it and lock it. You got it? - Yeah. - Don't stop and look, just close it tight. If you want him back. I need to save the rest of my family. You hear me? I'll get to the Russell's cabin and call for help. Cops will be here in no time, okay. - Please just be careful. - Don't be scared, Sam. We're all gonna make it out of this, I promise. You need to get the hell outta here. All of you go. I'll give him back - if all of you go. - Oh, baby. Do we have a deal? Do we have a deal? One, two, three. Oh my god! Get off of me! Let me go! Get off me! Oh shit. Let me go! Get off! Get outta here. Kathy! Get out! Goddammit! - It's okay. - Kathy! Kathy, open up! Kathy. Stay back! Get down! Get out! It's okay, Zoey. It's okay. What the fuck? They're moving away. - What? - Campbell? Oh, Jesus Christ! - I gotta go help him. - No. Andrew, that's my son out there. - Dad! - That's my son out there! That's our son! Stop, please. Dad! Dad, they only want Justin! Please just give him to them! They'll let us live if we just give him to them. Please, dad! - No. - We need to give them, Justin. They told him to say that. If we give him to them then we're all dead. - Samantha, get out of my way. - No, stay away from him. No, Mr. Powell. You're gonna have to find another way. If we give Justin back to them then we're all dead! Your wife and your granddaughter. Dad! Please help me! No! Oh, god, no! What is that? Give it to me. - No. - Give it to me. Please. Oh, god! No! Justin, you have to do something. Help him. That is your brother! No. Please don't! Stop! No! Oh god! Stop! Please stop! Please! Please! Stop it! No! Stop it! Please! Please! Baby... no. No! No! Mrs. Powell, no. No! No! No! Mrs. Powell, you can't go out there! No! Campbell... Look at me. I'm here. I'm here don't be afraid. I'll always be with you. Okay. Where's Kathy? I tried to stop her. I tried. - No! - Mr. Powell, please don't go. I have to. You lock that door behind me. Campbell, I'm coming! I'm coming! I'm coming! Samantha... Sam. Please take this collar off me. I have to go out there and stop this. How can I trust you? It's me. Sam, it's Justin. Let me go before they kill my parents. No. What happens to me and Zoey if I cut you loose? Once I'm outside. I want you to take Zoey, go out the backdoor and you run like hell. There's another cabin about a mile and a half north of here. You don't stop till you get there, okay? I thought you were just going to go talk to them. Please just do it before it's too late. Okay. Justin... Justin, no. Thank you. Campbell. I'm the father. I'm the father. It's okay, Zoey. We're gonna make it I promise. Please. Here. |
