Destroy This Tape (2025) Movie Script
Well, I really don't know what you
want me to say Becca. I'm a bit busy.
This is supposed to be a going away
present.
Just say something cheesy.
I don't know.
Okay.
We're all going to miss you.
Just don't forget about us small town folk.
Once you get out there.
Oh, yeah.
And we're really going to miss the way
you used to eat all our food
when you were here.
Dad. Come on. This is serious.
Whatever your mother says, I second it.
Very sentimental.
Thank you so much.
I figure that
we should have a copy of everything.
So that we all have something
to remember this by.
Like when we all move away for college,
or even just when we're old
and reminiscing about the good old days.
So here it is.
Are going to just only use one.
Oh, Allies here,
Hey, Becca, we got to go.
Becca?
BOO!
Really?
Nothing.
What is all this?
It was my dad's.
I thought it'd be cool to have this
all recorded.
Yeah? Okay.
But think of it
like a going away present for Justin.
Why?
Well, I don't know.
You just say whatever you've always
wanted to say to him.
Okay.
Come on, introduce yourself to the camera.
No, but he already knows who we are.
Well, yeah, but maybe for,
like, his kids in 20 years or something.
Come on.
Okay. I,
No, I don't know.
Okay.
We we need to go.
All right. Like.
You ready to go or what?
Oh, speak of the devil.
Yeah. We're coming.
All right, let's go, let's go.
Turn that shit off. Come on, let's go.
Look, you made it.
Early bird gets the worm. Let's go.
Come on, come on.
So we have everything we need.
Guess so.
What about that?
Don't worry about it.
Yeah what about that?
All right.
How do I end up in the
middle? What the fuck?
We find ourselves in the presence
of a typical Midwestern white girl.
Oh. Very nice, very nice.
I will literally crawl back there and
kill you.
Geez.
Give me that.
So, are you excited?
Excited for?
Camping, you idiot!
Yeah, yeah.
Excellent.
Maybe say it like you mean it next time.
Look, all I'm saying is I'm here to party
and get drunk with my friends.
I could give a fuck
if we were in the middle of the woods
surrounded by poison ivy,
getting eaten alive by bugs.
Okay.
For sure, buddy.
Oh, God.
For worms.
You want some super sweet corn?
I want some super, super sweet, sweet,
sweet corn or super sweet corn.
Wait.
Oh shit there is two options.
What's the difference?
I want super, super.
That that's just one person,
one upping the other.
This gives me such a rush.
What?
What are you saying?
I love the open road.
Never mind.
Isn't he literally just a bag of bricks?
I swear.
How the hell did you get accepted again?
If I'm a bag of bricks
your a bag of makeup.
At least makeups expensive.
Totally.
Fucking haunted.
Shit.
Shit.
It's not actually.
I mean, I think it actually is.
I mean, you saw that shit.
Oh, shit.
Holy shit.
What?
Whoa! Whoa!
I think my parents, used
to rent a cabin here when I was a kid.
I recognize the sign.
Oh, we used to go to this one place all the
time with this little lake and a big cliff.
And then me and my brother
would jump off of it into the water.
We actually had to cut that trip
short one year
because.
He ended up breaking his shoulder.
Yeah.
He almost drowned that night.
Whoa.
That's uh, that's kind of intense.
Hey, I think I see the path
to the campsite.
Let's.
Let's go.
Is there any bug spray?
You didn't bring bug spray?
You're such a city boy.
You're one to talk.
Did you know he had a brother?
He hasn't really talked much about
that stuff since he moved out on his own.
Do you
think we can get him in on the video?
I don't know.
Ask him.
You good?
Oh, yeah.
Let's go.
Come here.
Everybody good to go?
Yep.
Uh yeah.
Uh hey, your bags unzipped.
Can I have some bug spray
before we got on the trail.
I'm like an eaten alive bug.
I've got some coconut scented bug spray in my
bag, I'll give it to you when we get there.
They make it in coconut.
Damn. Oh.
You guys hear that?
Silence.
Take it in.
Really?
I'm serious.
I mean, I guess it is nice to get away
from the sound of the city, you know?
Yeah.
Sometimes it's good to get out
and be one with nature.
I'm going where the bug sprays going.
I guess that's where we're going too.
You know what I mean, right?
Yeah, of course.
At least it's keep some
of the mosquitos away.
Can you stop?
You're gonna burn it,
and I really don't want it charred.
I mean, I don't think anyone does. Amber.
Actually, I prefer mine. Crunchy.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
I think they come precooked Con.
So?
Hey, can I talk to you over here
for a second?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
I think next time we need to
bring more than just one chair.
Yeah.
How's the scoreboard treating your ass?
I got facial hair down. Oh.
Oh, shit.
Are you okay? Yeah. I'm good.
Oh, okay.
What's up?
I'm making a tape for him.
Oh, that's really sweet.
Yeah, its not a big deal.
I'm just getting everyone
to say something into the camera, so.
Do you mind?
Of course.
Just give me a second
to think of something spectacular to say.
Okay?
I think I'm ready.
Okay.
Oh, Justie my little golden retriever you.
We are all going to miss you so much.
The gang won't be the same without you.
You just have to go out and do bigger
and better things now, I guess.
What are you guys doing over there?
We're peeing.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Does he not know?
Bigfoot?
Yes. Did you see the found footage?
But it's just been pretty generous calling
it found footage.
Someone had to find the footage.
Fair enough.
But listen, I still don't believe you.
Trust me bro.
I heard it from my Uncle Ricky.
Oh, and he's such an expert. What?
No. It's probably
just like one of those TV specials,
you see, like the vanishing hitchhiker
or something like that, you know?
Sorry.
What are we walking in on?
Scary stories.
Oh, cool.
Connor,
can you pass us some of those beer?
Sure. Thanks. Sure.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Now, where was I? Bigfoot.
Oh, yeah. Bigfoot. Fuck your Bigfoot.
If he was up here for so long,
how did he not starve?
Just feet off the land like Bigfoot?
Listen.
Maybe it's the dependance
on civilization for me,
but I could not go a day
without my drive through coffees
and my millions of cats on the internet.
Some people don't if anything.
Some people just want to escape it.
I'm sorry.
Who are we talking about?
Oh, shit.
Here we go.
When I was a kid,
I was told stories of a masked
figure who stalked these very woods.
Oh, that's so corny.
I'm serious.
He roams the woods searching for supplies.
Old fishing lines, large planks of wood,
supplies. Why?
What's he building?
A murder cabin.
Oh, my fucking God.
A torture chamber buried
so deep within these
very woods
where no one can hear you for miles.
Did they ever find this guy?
Some say he's still in this very woods.
But who did he kill?
Where's the proof in that?
Yeah.
I mean, thousands of people
go missing every year.
A lot of those disappearances
go unsolved. Wow.
What's that outside the tent?
Did you guys hear that?
Maybe it's one of the boys.
And they went to relieve themselves?
Justin.
Connor?
Guys?
Go relieve yourself somewhere else.
Dickheads.
Dude, that's so unsanitary.
Get the light on. Yeah.
Okay, guys.
Hey. Someone's coming in.
Oh, Connor? Connor?
Oh my God. Help me.
Oh, God.
Where's Justin?
Where's Justin?
He's dead.
AHHHHH!
Oh my God. Ooh!
Why would you do that?
I thought that would have worked. Yeah.
That wasn't funny.
Really?
I thought it would be scary and funny.
No.
And badass.
It's starting to come down guys.
Oh, shit.
I'll get the rain covers.
Oh my God! Be quick, be quick.
It's really coming down.
What the hell? What?
Whoa whoa whoa. What's up?
What's up?
Did you not pack the rain covers.
They came with the tent. It's in there.
I can't find it.
Look harder.
Let's just go back to the car. Shit.
Come on! It's really pouring.
Come on.
It's really pouring.
Lets go Becca.
Oh, my God, it's pouring! It's freezing.
Oh! This way!
Here! By the tree!
Where?
Come on! This way!
Where are we going?
Is this legal?
Who cares if it's legal or not?
Come on.
Please.
Fuck!
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Anybody got a light?
I'm soaked.
Yo, yo yo.
Let's get a fire going.
Take off your socks and shoes guys.
What a mess.
Can you get a fire going?
Yeah.
I don't see why not.
Is there anything
around here?
Becca.
Becca. Wake up.
Hey, give me that.
Whoa!
Isn't this place amazing?
Good morning Allie.
Morning Becca.
I'm surprised there's
no one else on this lake.
Hello? Wow.
Who are you ye-
Where are you going?
Got any cell service up there.
I'm, like, two feet off the ground.
Order us a pizza.
There are a couple spiders, though.
Yeah. I'm good.
Oh my God. Yeah. Too many spiders.
Okay.
Oh, fuck me.
How do I know if this is recording or not?
Yeah.
You're good.
Here's everybody. Wow.
Woo! In the water.
Oh, okay.
Wash off all that bug spray.
Hey. Go on. Oh.
All right.
Okay.
Say whatever you want to say
to the camera to Justin.
Like what?
Like anything
you've ever wanted to tell him?
Justin, I love you so much.
Fuck.
I don't know what to say.
Well, why are you even doing this again?
What do you mean? It's for Justin.
Bec.
What?
Come on.
Why are you doing this?
I like being one with nature,
but I'm really glad we invented inside.
Yeah right?
See, I told you, she's too chickenshit.
What? No. I'm not.
Then stop choosing truth and let's go.
Okay, fine.
What do I have to do?
Skinny dip.
Oh. No, that is not happening. See?
I knew you wouldn't
do it. Finish your drink.
Oh, man.
Okay.
That tastes bad at the end.
Alison. Truth or dare?
Oh. Fuck.
Okay. Dare.
Okay.
I dare you, I dare you to scream
at the top of your lungs and taunt the,
Justie what's his name?
Scavenger.
Taunt the scavenger.
Yeah.
All right.
Fuck!
But I swear to God.
What is it with you and Bigfoot?
Big feet man.
Oh Scavenger! Come and kill us!
Seriously, what the fuck?
All right.
Justie.
Truth or dare?
Truth this time I guess.
What is your greatest fear?
What's a big guy
like him got to be afraid of?
Duh. Lime disease.
Justin.
Oh. Whoa. Really?
What are you afraid of?
God,
can't hold it
for more than three minutes eh?
Okay.
Oh, I've got one since he's left.
Would
you rather everybody has to answer this?
Okay.
Would you rather have denim skin,
or live in a bag of milk
for the rest of your life.
Denim skin what the fuck?
But how the fuck
would you live in a bag of milk?
I don't know, denim
for the rest of your life.
Yeah, your skin is denim.
Denims not so bad.
It sounds itchy.
I'm gonna have to go with the milk.
It sounds moisturizing.
All right.
Oh, my lack of skin care, I would you.
I'll go with the milk, too.
That's really? Buy a lot of cereal.
I'll ask you a truth or dare.
Okay.
So, truth or dare?
No you're just gonna make me skinny dip,
truth.
Okay.
So Justin's gone.
Can you tell us
why you're making these videos for him?
Oh, that's a good one actually.
Yeah, because he's going away, and I want
something for him to remember us by.
Yeah.
I don't know what
you're getting. That's it.
That's all.
Well.
We are going to go get some more beer.
Do you guys need anything?
No, no. We're good.
We're fine.
That's so gross.
So we keep playing.
No, it doesn't really work
with two people.
True.
Well, I guess you never finished
your goodbye video.
I guess
you want to do it now?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Whenever you're ready.
Justin, wherever you end up.
Just know
that you will always have friends.
That's it.
Yeah.
I mean, speaking of.
It's kind of been a while
since Justin left.
Like, where'd he go?
Oh, I think he went to the bathroom.
But I guess it has been a while.
Yeah.
Should we go and check on him?
Make sure you know
he hasn't had too much to drink.
Yeah, I guess so. Let's...
All right.
I'm gonna go over this way.
Okay.
Justin?
Justin?
Becca.
Allie?
Becca.
He's.
He's over here.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening.
There's something wrong with him.
Justin.
Hey, what's going on?
It's all my fault.
It's all your fault. What do you mean?
Don't you see him?
I should've known better.
I can see he's struggling.
Come on.
Come on. Let's. Let's get you.
No no no! Amber!
What was that?
Justin?
Justin!
Justin.
Justin.
He's gone.
Justin?
Please somebody help!
Help!
Please!
Please!
Somebody come quick!
Please!
What?
Why are you wet? It's all over the place.
I'm confused. What do you mean?
What's happening?
Becca Come on. He's what?
Justins in the lake.
Come on. One thing at a time.
Amber open up the door!
Open the door.
I need to help you.
Amber! Come on. You come.
You need to come out here.
Amber!
Amber! Open up! Amber!
What's happening?
Oh, God. Oh my God! Oh!
Oh! Hey!
Oh, holy shit.
What?
It's like she's having
an allergic reaction to something.
Do we have an EpiPen? Like what? No, no.
I didn't know
any of us were allergic to anything.
Okay, well, search the cabin.
I am going to try and contact somebody.
Try and find medicine.
Okay? You know what we do here?
We all of the same meals
is this going to happen to us.
We got to go to a doctor.
We got to go.
Amber.
Justin,
I can't get cell reception.
I can't, okay?
I need to go to the road and
try to be able to get some sort of signal.
Do you want to come with me?
You.
No No, I have to find Justin.
Something's wrong.
It's okay.
I'm, I'll be back.
I promise. Oh,
Justin.
Justin. Come back!
Come back!
Justin.
Help! What?
Connor?
What's going on?
Conner.
Is she okay?
She's dying, man.
What?
I gotta get her to a hospital.
If I if I can get to the car.
I can get the car down here.
Oh, no.
No. It won't fit. Amber are you okay?
You just breathe.
Come on, come on.
Okay, tell Justin
I'm going to get her to the car
and find whatever hospital
I can find, okay?
Just tell Justin. No.
Alison's already on her way.
No, there's no time.
Come on, Come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Alison's already going. Guys, stay.
Justin!
Alison!
Justin!
Guys!
Come back!
You guys!
Guys!
Guys wait.
Where'd everybody go!
There's.
It's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine.
Alison.
Connor.
Amber.
Guys,
where are you?
Guys!
Oh my God!
Oh! Amber and Connor.
What the fuck?
Mom, dad.
I don't know what happened.
I'm so sorry.
They're gone.
Everyone's gone.
Shit.
Ugh! No no no no no no no no no no no no.
Thank you.
Thank you for showing me that.
I know this has been
one of the hardest things
that you've ever been through.
I can understand your pain Mrs.
Morrison. Now.
What you just showed me.
It's been so hard.
For the both of us.
I can understand.
I mean, your daughter
seemed like such an amazing
and brilliant young woman.
Yes, she is.
God this just feels like a nightmare.
And I knew they were going up there.
I should have been there.
It's not your fault, Mandy.
When this tape was found,
I couldn't bear to watch it.
Neither of us could.
So we hid it.
Wait, uh, I'm sorry. You.
You uh? Before the cops were ever called.
Connor's parents and I traveled up
to Alpine Oaks to find them.
We didn't want to involve the police
if they were high on magic mushrooms
in the forest.
Oh. We found
the car parked on the side of the road.
Jenny and Mark were trying to see
if they could find them in the woods.
And I found that.
So it's been lying in our closet,
collecting dust.
I can't bear to see
what's on that tape, Mr. Peterson
So thank you for doing that.
Now. Can you please tell me.
If she's still alive?
That's a new low Jacob. Even for you.
Hey, you're the one who encouraged me
to talk to her,
so I don't know what you want.
I just want to sell a book.
Yeah, and I told you already I'm
not a one hit wonder.
So I got a murder
that's actually interesting for a change.
I'm going to do what I can with it.
It's stolen property.
That's your takeaway
that's your take away.
The Morrison's got plenty
more to worry about right now.
You need to destroy that tape.
Yeah.
No I'm not I'm not going to do that.
I'm not doing it.
You've seen it once isn't that enough?
No it's not, it's not Diane. It's not.
Listen,
I can do whatever the fuck I want with it,
okay?
It's my story now. It's not theirs.
It's mine.
Besides,
I already got a copy of it on my laptop.
I'm going to be making copies of it.
I've gone too far.
So I don't know what you want from me.
All right.
Hello?
Diane.
I see you're still on the line.
Hi.
Who can I make this out to?
Sorry,
I was wondering where the bathroom is.
Yeah, it's just down that way
right there.
But you, you have to buy something first.
It's a good read.
Hey. Hey.
Did you enjoy the book?
It wasn't as personal as the first one.
I like'd that one a lot more.
Tell you what.
I'll sign you a copy of the first one.
There you go.
Thanks.
Well,
it looks like that storm that just rolled
through was just the beginning.
The storm of the century is brewing
and will be hitting
Alpine Oaks
and the surrounding area this evening.
The province is advising people
to stay indoors
because the dirt roads
would be more like mudslides.
Be prepared to lose power
and make sure you have plenty of supplies,
as it may take some time for repair
crews to make it to the area.
You have reached the voice mailbox of
If you don't know, hang up,
At the tone.
Please record your message.
Diane, I made it to Alpine Oaks,
but the local cell
towers busted
cell stuck using landlines for now.
I already made quite the impression
on one of the locals.
And I got to say, I think you'd like her.
Could you break this for me?
I'll get a coffee.
I just got shit on at the diner
for fucking coming and doing my job.
Actually, I'm writing about
what happened here at Alpine Oaks
a couple of days ago about 20 cop
cars went out there and found nothing.
People like you just come around
for the paycheck.
I'm sick of this crap.
All right. I'm a bestseller.
I shouldn't be doing this anymore.
I suggest you take your things
and you go home.
Now, don't go digging up their pain.
Just let them rest.
Listen, I'm
going to poke around Main Street
and try to get a flavor for this town.
Maybe convince some people to talk to me.
And,
You know, I've been,
thinking about the conversation
we had the other night.
You know, I,
I said some things that,
Hey, listen, I'll call you later.
All right?
Take care.
All righty.
Well, thank you for talking with me today.
Like I said,
my name is Jacob, and I'm just trying to
get some more information about the town.
So can you just, tell me your name?
No.
All right.
Do you live around this area?
I've lived here
my entire life. Really? Okay.
Have you had any personal experience
with anything supernatural
around this area?
Well, there's that scream
in the middle of the night.
Sometimes it's like, AAA.
Why don't I go to Alpine Oaks?
Yeah,
I've heard it's a nice kind of cabin area.
Nice cottage. From who?
The woods aren't haunted.
It's the aliens?
They're back.
Yeah.
I've heard some creepy stories
about the Delawana resort.
I want to hear about that.
AAA That's the one.
So do you think that's a bird or what?
What do you think that is?
Well, it sounds like children screaming.
When the place went bankrupt.
My name is Jacob.
I'm a writer.
I'm just coming in from the area.
I've been hearing about some stuff
at Alpine Oaks.
City council
just made that shit up to get tourists.
Why would anyone want to visit a town
that's branded with murder?
You write about that shit.
Why are you on my lawn
asking me all these goddamn questions?
Hey, you're not a writer at all.
Actually, I have I have books published.
Yeah.
You got no writing utensils. Go on.
Git before I
release my goddamn hounds on you. Go!
Get out out of here before I shishkabab
you you God damn communist piece of shit.
I hope you burn in hell, motherfucker!
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
Here. By the tree!
Where?
Oh! Oh, God.
Oh fuck.
Hello?
Anybody in there?
I'm coming in.
I have a gun.
Oh! God damn it!
Oh! Oh, no!
How to start this story?
Being here now,
immersing myself completely.
All of these random pieces.
Just.
Don't make any sense.
There's no
clear murderer in the footage
from the Morrison girl.
All the townsfolk
think that this place is haunted
or some nutcase is out here.
And the other bodies?
Where are they?
I realize now.
This is no longer true crime novel.
No. It's a horror story.
And every good
horror story has its victims
and its monsters.
Five kids
go into the woods, and they all disappear.
And I found one of them today.
But all it did was lead to more questions.
So now.
Where's
the monster?
The monster? Oh.
Good morning.
Allie.
Morning, Becca.
Okay.
Dare. Okay. I dare you.
I dare you to scream
at the top of your lungs
and taunt the, Justie What's his name?
Scavenger.
Taunt the scavenger.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay. Tell Justin.
No. Alison's already on her way.
No, there's no time.
Come on, come on!
Alison's already going guys Stay, Justin?
Alison.
Justin.
Guys, come back!

I'm so sorry.
They're gone.
Everyone's gone.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, let's go, let's go.
Alison's already going guys, Justin.
Alison!
Justin.

Oh, God.
That's not good.
Where are you Becca?
This book better be fucking awesome.
Okay okay.
Oh fuck.
Help me. Allison.
You're..
Hey, hey. Come on.
Oh. You're okay.

Alison, just stay with me, okay?
It's Becca still out there? No.
Okay.

Oh. Oh.
Oh! Damn it!
I got you.
I got you.
Look, it's nothing special, but it'll do.
It's better than nothing.
Is. Is this just bread and cheese?
It's, It's all you had.
Sorry
about the little scare in the forest.
My name is Jacob,
and I'm here to help you.
Are you a police officer?
No.
I'm a writer.
Now.
What do you remember?
I don't remember anything.
Well, do you least remember your name?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
It's just last night was a blur.
It's.
Last night?
Alison.
Alison, you.
You and your friends have been missing
for almost a week.
What?
Where were you when you woke up?
I.
When I woke up,
I was at the bottom of this hill. I,
I must have fallen.
It was.
It was just so dark,
and and it was it was storming,
and I couldn't find my way anywhere.
There was fog, and it was wet and muddy.
And I kept tripping over plants,
and I couldn't.
I couldn't get out of the forest.
And you have my friends backpacks.
Where are my friends? Did you find them?
No, no, I'm.
I'm just trying to find out
any information that I can.
All right?
I just found their bags when I.
When I came to the cabin,
and I've just been looking through them,
just trying to find any information
that I can.
You didn't find any of them?
No. No God.
Not even one of them. No.
Well, listen,
listen, it's going to be okay, all right?
We're going to get you out of here
tomorrow, okay?
Tomorrow.
No, no, no, no, we need to leave.
Wait. Why? Why?
We just.
We need to go.
Okay? We're in a cabin.
All right, there's the door works.
It locks.
Okay, listen,
if we leave now, there's a storm coming,
and we're gonna get lost in that forest.
But it's okay, all right?
You just need to rest up
and I'll protect you.
Okay?
You're a writer,
how are you going to protect me?
That's how I'm going to protect you.
Yeah.
You might wonder,
why does a writer carry a firearm?
It's because I'm a bestseller.
And I got some crazy fans.
Yeah,
appearances can be deceiving.
Listen, I'll protect you, all right?
So the best thing for you to do right now.
Is for you to rest up
and eat your fucking sandwich.
You're a writer.
Jesus.
Wait, do you do that?
What is that?
I have no idea.
Oh, no no, no no.
Barricade the door. It's him!
I said barricade the fucking door!
Barricade the door. Okay!
Jesus, I got it.
It's him! The scavenger.
Got it! Okay! Alison I got it. Okay?
Oh, who's the.
What the heck is going on?
Fuck!
What are you doing in my cabin?
Oh, my.
Are you okay?
Don't come any closer.
Hey, hey, listen, listen,
we were just here
to seek shelter for the night, okay?
We don't mean any harm, all right?
All right. Don't mean any harm.
Okay? Don't come closer.
Were you lost? Are you?
I mean, are you hungry?
Hey, hey, hey, listen,
storm's get pretty close, right?
You just came through the forest.
Yeah, I barely made it.
Hey, listen, all we want to do is
we just want to get the hell out of here.
We don't want to stay in your way.
We don't want to cause you any problems,
okay?
We just want to leave. Yes.
Can you just.
You could just take us out of here.
We're out of your hair for good,
all right?
Yeah. For sure. Easy peasy.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Just not right now.
Well, why?
It's not going to happen right now.
Why?
Why not?
Why not?
It's impossible to get through the woods.
At night.
There's no way it's happening tonight.
Now you guys can spend the night here,
I don't mind.
It's been a while since I've had company,
but just no funny business.
Now I'm going to make some of my world
famous Kenomile
And you go to the bedroom, get a towel,
help her get cleaned up.
All right.
What the fuck?
Hey, uh.
You find it?
I, Yeah,
I got it.
So, you just stay there.
I'm going
to, I'm just going to get this wet.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Where were you?
What?
Where'd you go off to?
I swear to you,
I do not remember anything.
Stay back. Alison.
I, I don't remember.
Yes you do.
No, no, I swear to you, I have no clue.
I do not remember.
Stay back.
I know what you did.
All right.
Sit the fuck down, Alison.
What's going on?
Don't fuck with me! Ken.
We're getting the fuck out of here. Now!
What the heck is going on?
Shit. Oh!
Oh, shit!
Oh, God damn it!
Fuck! Listen,
listen, I've got it all figured out.
You had to do it.
He was gonna hurt me.
It was in self-defense.
So let's go.
Come on. Back to the cabin with you.
Yeah. Oh.
Come on, let's go.
All right. Fuck.
Oh, God.
Fuck! You shot me.
Yeah, I did, I'm sorry about that.
No. Really.
Really, I just I needed time to explain.
Oh, what do you fucking want from me. Oh,
Well.
You've changed.
You have fucking changed.
Oh, my God, I used to be obsessed.
I still am obsessed.
Let's be. Let's be honest.
Here I am so fucking obsessed
with your writing.
Just not the recent books.
You had a spark.
You created these narratives
with these characters
who were so detailed, so real.
It's like you put yourself into them.
You knew that pain.
You had that connection.
You don't have that connection anymore.
But I have delivered it to you on a fresh
fucking plate.
Have you seen them?
You've seen the bodies.
I know you've seen the bodies.
Oh, it's so perfect.
I've set it all up for you.
The perfect story.
I'm here to help you so
we're going to sit here
and we're going to write a fucking story,
no matter how long it takes.
And we're going to have a damn good
ending to it.
Yeah? Yeah. How's that sound? Wow.
Now fucking move! Oh.
Let's go.
God! Fuck!
How we doing?
I don't know what you want from me.
Not this.
Where's the suspense in this god.
Where's the heart in this writing? God.
Just tell me what you want,
and I'll write it,
because there's no story here, all right?
You just.
You're crazy and you killed your friends.
That's it.
They're not my friends.
They're characters for you.
And they're going to be famous
because of me.
The funny one.
The pretty one.
The jock.
Becca.
You know, out of all of them,
probably going to miss her the most.
But that's the beauty of it all.
Well, the secret's out.
Surprise!
Everybody's already said their piece,
so I guess now
it's my turn.
I've always wanted to travel the world,
and the fact that you're traveling it
for school is, awesome.
I'm so jealous.
I'm like,
we're really going to miss you a lot.
You know, everybody keeps asking me,
why are you doing this?
And I guess the reason is
I care about you a lot.
You know, before I met you and Allie,
I didn't really have a lot of friends.
And now that we've all grown
so close and you're leaving,
I kind of feel like
I'm losing a part of myself.
I mean, it's going to be weird, you know?
Like, who's going to drive us everywhere?
Seriously, though,
I kind of hope that the part
I'm feeling like I'm losing.
Maybe it's going to stay alive
on these tapes.
I'm going to miss you
so much.
So you better call us all the time.
Hey Becca! You want to play truth or dare?
Yeah, one second!
Turn it off.
No, just turn it off, please.
I get it. All right.
No, turn it off.
You need to fucking watch this.
Turn it off.
Fucking turn it off.
I killed them for you.
Turn it off. No.
Oh, yeah. Amber. Well, no. You're going.
Just turn it off.
How does it fucking end Jacob.
How does it end up?
Turn it off! Turn it off!
Turn it off!
Fuck!
Oh, fuck.
How's that for an ending?
Hey, Diane.
Just checking in.
Alpine Oaks kind of sucks.
A little murdery for my liking.
There's something I've been,
I've been meaning to tell you.
But it's hard for me to.
Explain.
I just found,
that now would be a better time
than ever.
When Mary died.
I felt like all the
best parts of me died with her.
And she brought out the best in me.
So I felt like I was always trying to do.
Things that I thought were good
to try and keep that part of me alive.
But I'm not really doing good things
anymore.
I'm just.
I'm just hurting people.
I'm just digging up people's pain.
Because I don't want to bury my own.
And I'm just so sick of it.
And I'm fucking scared.
So I just.
I don't,
I'm don't fucking like who I am.
I really fucking hate
who I am. And.
I just want to do something good.
I think I'm done with writing for a while.
I miss you.
I'll call you later.
Well folks if you were stuck in Alpine Oaks
you lucked out.
The storm of the century
narrowly missed the area.
We have clear
skies and beautiful weather.
The perfect weather
to go relax on the water or go camping.
want me to say Becca. I'm a bit busy.
This is supposed to be a going away
present.
Just say something cheesy.
I don't know.
Okay.
We're all going to miss you.
Just don't forget about us small town folk.
Once you get out there.
Oh, yeah.
And we're really going to miss the way
you used to eat all our food
when you were here.
Dad. Come on. This is serious.
Whatever your mother says, I second it.
Very sentimental.
Thank you so much.
I figure that
we should have a copy of everything.
So that we all have something
to remember this by.
Like when we all move away for college,
or even just when we're old
and reminiscing about the good old days.
So here it is.
Are going to just only use one.
Oh, Allies here,
Hey, Becca, we got to go.
Becca?
BOO!
Really?
Nothing.
What is all this?
It was my dad's.
I thought it'd be cool to have this
all recorded.
Yeah? Okay.
But think of it
like a going away present for Justin.
Why?
Well, I don't know.
You just say whatever you've always
wanted to say to him.
Okay.
Come on, introduce yourself to the camera.
No, but he already knows who we are.
Well, yeah, but maybe for,
like, his kids in 20 years or something.
Come on.
Okay. I,
No, I don't know.
Okay.
We we need to go.
All right. Like.
You ready to go or what?
Oh, speak of the devil.
Yeah. We're coming.
All right, let's go, let's go.
Turn that shit off. Come on, let's go.
Look, you made it.
Early bird gets the worm. Let's go.
Come on, come on.
So we have everything we need.
Guess so.
What about that?
Don't worry about it.
Yeah what about that?
All right.
How do I end up in the
middle? What the fuck?
We find ourselves in the presence
of a typical Midwestern white girl.
Oh. Very nice, very nice.
I will literally crawl back there and
kill you.
Geez.
Give me that.
So, are you excited?
Excited for?
Camping, you idiot!
Yeah, yeah.
Excellent.
Maybe say it like you mean it next time.
Look, all I'm saying is I'm here to party
and get drunk with my friends.
I could give a fuck
if we were in the middle of the woods
surrounded by poison ivy,
getting eaten alive by bugs.
Okay.
For sure, buddy.
Oh, God.
For worms.
You want some super sweet corn?
I want some super, super sweet, sweet,
sweet corn or super sweet corn.
Wait.
Oh shit there is two options.
What's the difference?
I want super, super.
That that's just one person,
one upping the other.
This gives me such a rush.
What?
What are you saying?
I love the open road.
Never mind.
Isn't he literally just a bag of bricks?
I swear.
How the hell did you get accepted again?
If I'm a bag of bricks
your a bag of makeup.
At least makeups expensive.
Totally.
Fucking haunted.
Shit.
Shit.
It's not actually.
I mean, I think it actually is.
I mean, you saw that shit.
Oh, shit.
Holy shit.
What?
Whoa! Whoa!
I think my parents, used
to rent a cabin here when I was a kid.
I recognize the sign.
Oh, we used to go to this one place all the
time with this little lake and a big cliff.
And then me and my brother
would jump off of it into the water.
We actually had to cut that trip
short one year
because.
He ended up breaking his shoulder.
Yeah.
He almost drowned that night.
Whoa.
That's uh, that's kind of intense.
Hey, I think I see the path
to the campsite.
Let's.
Let's go.
Is there any bug spray?
You didn't bring bug spray?
You're such a city boy.
You're one to talk.
Did you know he had a brother?
He hasn't really talked much about
that stuff since he moved out on his own.
Do you
think we can get him in on the video?
I don't know.
Ask him.
You good?
Oh, yeah.
Let's go.
Come here.
Everybody good to go?
Yep.
Uh yeah.
Uh hey, your bags unzipped.
Can I have some bug spray
before we got on the trail.
I'm like an eaten alive bug.
I've got some coconut scented bug spray in my
bag, I'll give it to you when we get there.
They make it in coconut.
Damn. Oh.
You guys hear that?
Silence.
Take it in.
Really?
I'm serious.
I mean, I guess it is nice to get away
from the sound of the city, you know?
Yeah.
Sometimes it's good to get out
and be one with nature.
I'm going where the bug sprays going.
I guess that's where we're going too.
You know what I mean, right?
Yeah, of course.
At least it's keep some
of the mosquitos away.
Can you stop?
You're gonna burn it,
and I really don't want it charred.
I mean, I don't think anyone does. Amber.
Actually, I prefer mine. Crunchy.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
I think they come precooked Con.
So?
Hey, can I talk to you over here
for a second?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
I think next time we need to
bring more than just one chair.
Yeah.
How's the scoreboard treating your ass?
I got facial hair down. Oh.
Oh, shit.
Are you okay? Yeah. I'm good.
Oh, okay.
What's up?
I'm making a tape for him.
Oh, that's really sweet.
Yeah, its not a big deal.
I'm just getting everyone
to say something into the camera, so.
Do you mind?
Of course.
Just give me a second
to think of something spectacular to say.
Okay?
I think I'm ready.
Okay.
Oh, Justie my little golden retriever you.
We are all going to miss you so much.
The gang won't be the same without you.
You just have to go out and do bigger
and better things now, I guess.
What are you guys doing over there?
We're peeing.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Does he not know?
Bigfoot?
Yes. Did you see the found footage?
But it's just been pretty generous calling
it found footage.
Someone had to find the footage.
Fair enough.
But listen, I still don't believe you.
Trust me bro.
I heard it from my Uncle Ricky.
Oh, and he's such an expert. What?
No. It's probably
just like one of those TV specials,
you see, like the vanishing hitchhiker
or something like that, you know?
Sorry.
What are we walking in on?
Scary stories.
Oh, cool.
Connor,
can you pass us some of those beer?
Sure. Thanks. Sure.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Now, where was I? Bigfoot.
Oh, yeah. Bigfoot. Fuck your Bigfoot.
If he was up here for so long,
how did he not starve?
Just feet off the land like Bigfoot?
Listen.
Maybe it's the dependance
on civilization for me,
but I could not go a day
without my drive through coffees
and my millions of cats on the internet.
Some people don't if anything.
Some people just want to escape it.
I'm sorry.
Who are we talking about?
Oh, shit.
Here we go.
When I was a kid,
I was told stories of a masked
figure who stalked these very woods.
Oh, that's so corny.
I'm serious.
He roams the woods searching for supplies.
Old fishing lines, large planks of wood,
supplies. Why?
What's he building?
A murder cabin.
Oh, my fucking God.
A torture chamber buried
so deep within these
very woods
where no one can hear you for miles.
Did they ever find this guy?
Some say he's still in this very woods.
But who did he kill?
Where's the proof in that?
Yeah.
I mean, thousands of people
go missing every year.
A lot of those disappearances
go unsolved. Wow.
What's that outside the tent?
Did you guys hear that?
Maybe it's one of the boys.
And they went to relieve themselves?
Justin.
Connor?
Guys?
Go relieve yourself somewhere else.
Dickheads.
Dude, that's so unsanitary.
Get the light on. Yeah.
Okay, guys.
Hey. Someone's coming in.
Oh, Connor? Connor?
Oh my God. Help me.
Oh, God.
Where's Justin?
Where's Justin?
He's dead.
AHHHHH!
Oh my God. Ooh!
Why would you do that?
I thought that would have worked. Yeah.
That wasn't funny.
Really?
I thought it would be scary and funny.
No.
And badass.
It's starting to come down guys.
Oh, shit.
I'll get the rain covers.
Oh my God! Be quick, be quick.
It's really coming down.
What the hell? What?
Whoa whoa whoa. What's up?
What's up?
Did you not pack the rain covers.
They came with the tent. It's in there.
I can't find it.
Look harder.
Let's just go back to the car. Shit.
Come on! It's really pouring.
Come on.
It's really pouring.
Lets go Becca.
Oh, my God, it's pouring! It's freezing.
Oh! This way!
Here! By the tree!
Where?
Come on! This way!
Where are we going?
Is this legal?
Who cares if it's legal or not?
Come on.
Please.
Fuck!
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Anybody got a light?
I'm soaked.
Yo, yo yo.
Let's get a fire going.
Take off your socks and shoes guys.
What a mess.
Can you get a fire going?
Yeah.
I don't see why not.
Is there anything
around here?
Becca.
Becca. Wake up.
Hey, give me that.
Whoa!
Isn't this place amazing?
Good morning Allie.
Morning Becca.
I'm surprised there's
no one else on this lake.
Hello? Wow.
Who are you ye-
Where are you going?
Got any cell service up there.
I'm, like, two feet off the ground.
Order us a pizza.
There are a couple spiders, though.
Yeah. I'm good.
Oh my God. Yeah. Too many spiders.
Okay.
Oh, fuck me.
How do I know if this is recording or not?
Yeah.
You're good.
Here's everybody. Wow.
Woo! In the water.
Oh, okay.
Wash off all that bug spray.
Hey. Go on. Oh.
All right.
Okay.
Say whatever you want to say
to the camera to Justin.
Like what?
Like anything
you've ever wanted to tell him?
Justin, I love you so much.
Fuck.
I don't know what to say.
Well, why are you even doing this again?
What do you mean? It's for Justin.
Bec.
What?
Come on.
Why are you doing this?
I like being one with nature,
but I'm really glad we invented inside.
Yeah right?
See, I told you, she's too chickenshit.
What? No. I'm not.
Then stop choosing truth and let's go.
Okay, fine.
What do I have to do?
Skinny dip.
Oh. No, that is not happening. See?
I knew you wouldn't
do it. Finish your drink.
Oh, man.
Okay.
That tastes bad at the end.
Alison. Truth or dare?
Oh. Fuck.
Okay. Dare.
Okay.
I dare you, I dare you to scream
at the top of your lungs and taunt the,
Justie what's his name?
Scavenger.
Taunt the scavenger.
Yeah.
All right.
Fuck!
But I swear to God.
What is it with you and Bigfoot?
Big feet man.
Oh Scavenger! Come and kill us!
Seriously, what the fuck?
All right.
Justie.
Truth or dare?
Truth this time I guess.
What is your greatest fear?
What's a big guy
like him got to be afraid of?
Duh. Lime disease.
Justin.
Oh. Whoa. Really?
What are you afraid of?
God,
can't hold it
for more than three minutes eh?
Okay.
Oh, I've got one since he's left.
Would
you rather everybody has to answer this?
Okay.
Would you rather have denim skin,
or live in a bag of milk
for the rest of your life.
Denim skin what the fuck?
But how the fuck
would you live in a bag of milk?
I don't know, denim
for the rest of your life.
Yeah, your skin is denim.
Denims not so bad.
It sounds itchy.
I'm gonna have to go with the milk.
It sounds moisturizing.
All right.
Oh, my lack of skin care, I would you.
I'll go with the milk, too.
That's really? Buy a lot of cereal.
I'll ask you a truth or dare.
Okay.
So, truth or dare?
No you're just gonna make me skinny dip,
truth.
Okay.
So Justin's gone.
Can you tell us
why you're making these videos for him?
Oh, that's a good one actually.
Yeah, because he's going away, and I want
something for him to remember us by.
Yeah.
I don't know what
you're getting. That's it.
That's all.
Well.
We are going to go get some more beer.
Do you guys need anything?
No, no. We're good.
We're fine.
That's so gross.
So we keep playing.
No, it doesn't really work
with two people.
True.
Well, I guess you never finished
your goodbye video.
I guess
you want to do it now?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Whenever you're ready.
Justin, wherever you end up.
Just know
that you will always have friends.
That's it.
Yeah.
I mean, speaking of.
It's kind of been a while
since Justin left.
Like, where'd he go?
Oh, I think he went to the bathroom.
But I guess it has been a while.
Yeah.
Should we go and check on him?
Make sure you know
he hasn't had too much to drink.
Yeah, I guess so. Let's...
All right.
I'm gonna go over this way.
Okay.
Justin?
Justin?
Becca.
Allie?
Becca.
He's.
He's over here.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening.
There's something wrong with him.
Justin.
Hey, what's going on?
It's all my fault.
It's all your fault. What do you mean?
Don't you see him?
I should've known better.
I can see he's struggling.
Come on.
Come on. Let's. Let's get you.
No no no! Amber!
What was that?
Justin?
Justin!
Justin.
Justin.
He's gone.
Justin?
Please somebody help!
Help!
Please!
Please!
Somebody come quick!
Please!
What?
Why are you wet? It's all over the place.
I'm confused. What do you mean?
What's happening?
Becca Come on. He's what?
Justins in the lake.
Come on. One thing at a time.
Amber open up the door!
Open the door.
I need to help you.
Amber! Come on. You come.
You need to come out here.
Amber!
Amber! Open up! Amber!
What's happening?
Oh, God. Oh my God! Oh!
Oh! Hey!
Oh, holy shit.
What?
It's like she's having
an allergic reaction to something.
Do we have an EpiPen? Like what? No, no.
I didn't know
any of us were allergic to anything.
Okay, well, search the cabin.
I am going to try and contact somebody.
Try and find medicine.
Okay? You know what we do here?
We all of the same meals
is this going to happen to us.
We got to go to a doctor.
We got to go.
Amber.
Justin,
I can't get cell reception.
I can't, okay?
I need to go to the road and
try to be able to get some sort of signal.
Do you want to come with me?
You.
No No, I have to find Justin.
Something's wrong.
It's okay.
I'm, I'll be back.
I promise. Oh,
Justin.
Justin. Come back!
Come back!
Justin.
Help! What?
Connor?
What's going on?
Conner.
Is she okay?
She's dying, man.
What?
I gotta get her to a hospital.
If I if I can get to the car.
I can get the car down here.
Oh, no.
No. It won't fit. Amber are you okay?
You just breathe.
Come on, come on.
Okay, tell Justin
I'm going to get her to the car
and find whatever hospital
I can find, okay?
Just tell Justin. No.
Alison's already on her way.
No, there's no time.
Come on, Come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Alison's already going. Guys, stay.
Justin!
Alison!
Justin!
Guys!
Come back!
You guys!
Guys!
Guys wait.
Where'd everybody go!
There's.
It's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine.
Alison.
Connor.
Amber.
Guys,
where are you?
Guys!
Oh my God!
Oh! Amber and Connor.
What the fuck?
Mom, dad.
I don't know what happened.
I'm so sorry.
They're gone.
Everyone's gone.
Shit.
Ugh! No no no no no no no no no no no no.
Thank you.
Thank you for showing me that.
I know this has been
one of the hardest things
that you've ever been through.
I can understand your pain Mrs.
Morrison. Now.
What you just showed me.
It's been so hard.
For the both of us.
I can understand.
I mean, your daughter
seemed like such an amazing
and brilliant young woman.
Yes, she is.
God this just feels like a nightmare.
And I knew they were going up there.
I should have been there.
It's not your fault, Mandy.
When this tape was found,
I couldn't bear to watch it.
Neither of us could.
So we hid it.
Wait, uh, I'm sorry. You.
You uh? Before the cops were ever called.
Connor's parents and I traveled up
to Alpine Oaks to find them.
We didn't want to involve the police
if they were high on magic mushrooms
in the forest.
Oh. We found
the car parked on the side of the road.
Jenny and Mark were trying to see
if they could find them in the woods.
And I found that.
So it's been lying in our closet,
collecting dust.
I can't bear to see
what's on that tape, Mr. Peterson
So thank you for doing that.
Now. Can you please tell me.
If she's still alive?
That's a new low Jacob. Even for you.
Hey, you're the one who encouraged me
to talk to her,
so I don't know what you want.
I just want to sell a book.
Yeah, and I told you already I'm
not a one hit wonder.
So I got a murder
that's actually interesting for a change.
I'm going to do what I can with it.
It's stolen property.
That's your takeaway
that's your take away.
The Morrison's got plenty
more to worry about right now.
You need to destroy that tape.
Yeah.
No I'm not I'm not going to do that.
I'm not doing it.
You've seen it once isn't that enough?
No it's not, it's not Diane. It's not.
Listen,
I can do whatever the fuck I want with it,
okay?
It's my story now. It's not theirs.
It's mine.
Besides,
I already got a copy of it on my laptop.
I'm going to be making copies of it.
I've gone too far.
So I don't know what you want from me.
All right.
Hello?
Diane.
I see you're still on the line.
Hi.
Who can I make this out to?
Sorry,
I was wondering where the bathroom is.
Yeah, it's just down that way
right there.
But you, you have to buy something first.
It's a good read.
Hey. Hey.
Did you enjoy the book?
It wasn't as personal as the first one.
I like'd that one a lot more.
Tell you what.
I'll sign you a copy of the first one.
There you go.
Thanks.
Well,
it looks like that storm that just rolled
through was just the beginning.
The storm of the century is brewing
and will be hitting
Alpine Oaks
and the surrounding area this evening.
The province is advising people
to stay indoors
because the dirt roads
would be more like mudslides.
Be prepared to lose power
and make sure you have plenty of supplies,
as it may take some time for repair
crews to make it to the area.
You have reached the voice mailbox of
If you don't know, hang up,
At the tone.
Please record your message.
Diane, I made it to Alpine Oaks,
but the local cell
towers busted
cell stuck using landlines for now.
I already made quite the impression
on one of the locals.
And I got to say, I think you'd like her.
Could you break this for me?
I'll get a coffee.
I just got shit on at the diner
for fucking coming and doing my job.
Actually, I'm writing about
what happened here at Alpine Oaks
a couple of days ago about 20 cop
cars went out there and found nothing.
People like you just come around
for the paycheck.
I'm sick of this crap.
All right. I'm a bestseller.
I shouldn't be doing this anymore.
I suggest you take your things
and you go home.
Now, don't go digging up their pain.
Just let them rest.
Listen, I'm
going to poke around Main Street
and try to get a flavor for this town.
Maybe convince some people to talk to me.
And,
You know, I've been,
thinking about the conversation
we had the other night.
You know, I,
I said some things that,
Hey, listen, I'll call you later.
All right?
Take care.
All righty.
Well, thank you for talking with me today.
Like I said,
my name is Jacob, and I'm just trying to
get some more information about the town.
So can you just, tell me your name?
No.
All right.
Do you live around this area?
I've lived here
my entire life. Really? Okay.
Have you had any personal experience
with anything supernatural
around this area?
Well, there's that scream
in the middle of the night.
Sometimes it's like, AAA.
Why don't I go to Alpine Oaks?
Yeah,
I've heard it's a nice kind of cabin area.
Nice cottage. From who?
The woods aren't haunted.
It's the aliens?
They're back.
Yeah.
I've heard some creepy stories
about the Delawana resort.
I want to hear about that.
AAA That's the one.
So do you think that's a bird or what?
What do you think that is?
Well, it sounds like children screaming.
When the place went bankrupt.
My name is Jacob.
I'm a writer.
I'm just coming in from the area.
I've been hearing about some stuff
at Alpine Oaks.
City council
just made that shit up to get tourists.
Why would anyone want to visit a town
that's branded with murder?
You write about that shit.
Why are you on my lawn
asking me all these goddamn questions?
Hey, you're not a writer at all.
Actually, I have I have books published.
Yeah.
You got no writing utensils. Go on.
Git before I
release my goddamn hounds on you. Go!
Get out out of here before I shishkabab
you you God damn communist piece of shit.
I hope you burn in hell, motherfucker!
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
Here. By the tree!
Where?
Oh! Oh, God.
Oh fuck.
Hello?
Anybody in there?
I'm coming in.
I have a gun.
Oh! God damn it!
Oh! Oh, no!
How to start this story?
Being here now,
immersing myself completely.
All of these random pieces.
Just.
Don't make any sense.
There's no
clear murderer in the footage
from the Morrison girl.
All the townsfolk
think that this place is haunted
or some nutcase is out here.
And the other bodies?
Where are they?
I realize now.
This is no longer true crime novel.
No. It's a horror story.
And every good
horror story has its victims
and its monsters.
Five kids
go into the woods, and they all disappear.
And I found one of them today.
But all it did was lead to more questions.
So now.
Where's
the monster?
The monster? Oh.
Good morning.
Allie.
Morning, Becca.
Okay.
Dare. Okay. I dare you.
I dare you to scream
at the top of your lungs
and taunt the, Justie What's his name?
Scavenger.
Taunt the scavenger.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay. Tell Justin.
No. Alison's already on her way.
No, there's no time.
Come on, come on!
Alison's already going guys Stay, Justin?
Alison.
Justin.
Guys, come back!
Mom, dad.
I don't know what happened.
I'm so sorry.
They're gone.
Everyone's gone.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on,
come on, come on, let's go, let's go.
Alison's already going guys, Justin.

Oh, God.
That's not good.

Look, it's nothing special, but it'll do.
It's better than nothing.
Is. Is this just bread and cheese?
It's, It's all you had.
Sorry
about the little scare in the forest.
My name is Jacob,
and I'm here to help you.
Are you a police officer?
No.
I'm a writer.
Now.
What do you remember?
I don't remember anything.
Well, do you least remember your name?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
It's just last night was a blur.
It's.
Last night?
Alison.
Alison, you.
You and your friends have been missing
for almost a week.
What?
Where were you when you woke up?
I.
When I woke up,
I was at the bottom of this hill. I,
I must have fallen.
It was.
It was just so dark,
and and it was it was storming,
and I couldn't find my way anywhere.
There was fog, and it was wet and muddy.
And I kept tripping over plants,
and I couldn't.
I couldn't get out of the forest.
And you have my friends backpacks.
Where are my friends? Did you find them?
No, no, I'm.
I'm just trying to find out
any information that I can.
All right?
I just found their bags when I.
When I came to the cabin,
and I've just been looking through them,
just trying to find any information
that I can.
You didn't find any of them?
No. No God.
Not even one of them. No.
Well, listen,
listen, it's going to be okay, all right?
We're going to get you out of here
tomorrow, okay?
Tomorrow.
No, no, no, no, we need to leave.
Wait. Why? Why?
We just.
We need to go.
Okay? We're in a cabin.
All right, there's the door works.
It locks.
Okay, listen,
if we leave now, there's a storm coming,
and we're gonna get lost in that forest.
But it's okay, all right?
You just need to rest up
and I'll protect you.
Okay?
You're a writer,
how are you going to protect me?
That's how I'm going to protect you.
Yeah.
You might wonder,
why does a writer carry a firearm?
It's because I'm a bestseller.
And I got some crazy fans.
Yeah,
appearances can be deceiving.
Listen, I'll protect you, all right?
So the best thing for you to do right now.
Is for you to rest up
and eat your fucking sandwich.
You're a writer.
Jesus.
Wait, do you do that?
What is that?
I have no idea.
Oh, no no, no no.
Barricade the door. It's him!
I said barricade the fucking door!
Barricade the door. Okay!
Jesus, I got it.
It's him! The scavenger.
Got it! Okay! Alison I got it. Okay?
Oh, who's the.
What the heck is going on?
Fuck!
What are you doing in my cabin?
Oh, my.
Are you okay?
Don't come any closer.
Hey, hey, listen, listen,
we were just here
to seek shelter for the night, okay?
We don't mean any harm, all right?
All right. Don't mean any harm.
Okay? Don't come closer.
Were you lost? Are you?
I mean, are you hungry?
Hey, hey, hey, listen,
storm's get pretty close, right?
You just came through the forest.
Yeah, I barely made it.
Hey, listen, all we want to do is
we just want to get the hell out of here.
We don't want to stay in your way.
We don't want to cause you any problems,
okay?
We just want to leave. Yes.
Can you just.
You could just take us out of here.
We're out of your hair for good,
all right?
Yeah. For sure. Easy peasy.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Just not right now.
Well, why?
It's not going to happen right now.
Why?
Why not?
Why not?
It's impossible to get through the woods.
At night.
There's no way it's happening tonight.
Now you guys can spend the night here,
I don't mind.
It's been a while since I've had company,
but just no funny business.
Now I'm going to make some of my world
famous Kenomile
And you go to the bedroom, get a towel,
help her get cleaned up.
All right.
What the fuck?
Hey, uh.
You find it?
I, Yeah,
I got it.
So, you just stay there.
I'm going
to, I'm just going to get this wet.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Where were you?
What?
Where'd you go off to?
I swear to you,
I do not remember anything.
Stay back. Alison.
I, I don't remember.
Yes you do.
No, no, I swear to you, I have no clue.
I do not remember.
Stay back.
I know what you did.
All right.
Sit the fuck down, Alison.
What's going on?
Don't fuck with me! Ken.
We're getting the fuck out of here. Now!
What the heck is going on?
Shit. Oh!
Oh, shit!
Oh, God damn it!
Fuck! Listen,
listen, I've got it all figured out.
You had to do it.
He was gonna hurt me.
It was in self-defense.
So let's go.
Come on. Back to the cabin with you.
Yeah. Oh.
Come on, let's go.
All right. Fuck.
Oh, God.
Fuck! You shot me.
Yeah, I did, I'm sorry about that.
No. Really.
Really, I just I needed time to explain.
Oh, what do you fucking want from me. Oh,
Well.
You've changed.
You have fucking changed.
Oh, my God, I used to be obsessed.
I still am obsessed.
Let's be. Let's be honest.
Here I am so fucking obsessed
with your writing.
Just not the recent books.
You had a spark.
You created these narratives
with these characters
who were so detailed, so real.
It's like you put yourself into them.
You knew that pain.
You had that connection.
You don't have that connection anymore.
But I have delivered it to you on a fresh
fucking plate.
Have you seen them?
You've seen the bodies.
I know you've seen the bodies.
Oh, it's so perfect.
I've set it all up for you.
The perfect story.
I'm here to help you so
we're going to sit here
and we're going to write a fucking story,
no matter how long it takes.
And we're going to have a damn good
ending to it.
Yeah? Yeah. How's that sound? Wow.
Now fucking move! Oh.
Let's go.
God! Fuck!
How we doing?
I don't know what you want from me.
Not this.
Where's the suspense in this god.
Where's the heart in this writing? God.
Just tell me what you want,
and I'll write it,
because there's no story here, all right?
You just.
You're crazy and you killed your friends.
That's it.
They're not my friends.
They're characters for you.
And they're going to be famous
because of me.
The funny one.
The pretty one.
The jock.
Becca.
You know, out of all of them,
probably going to miss her the most.
But that's the beauty of it all.
Well, the secret's out.
Surprise!
Everybody's already said their piece,
so I guess now
it's my turn.
I've always wanted to travel the world,
and the fact that you're traveling it
for school is, awesome.
I'm so jealous.
I'm like,
we're really going to miss you a lot.
You know, everybody keeps asking me,
why are you doing this?
And I guess the reason is
I care about you a lot.
You know, before I met you and Allie,
I didn't really have a lot of friends.
And now that we've all grown
so close and you're leaving,
I kind of feel like
I'm losing a part of myself.
I mean, it's going to be weird, you know?
Like, who's going to drive us everywhere?
Seriously, though,
I kind of hope that the part
I'm feeling like I'm losing.
Maybe it's going to stay alive
on these tapes.
I'm going to miss you
so much.
So you better call us all the time.
Hey Becca! You want to play truth or dare?
Yeah, one second!
Turn it off.
No, just turn it off, please.
I get it. All right.
No, turn it off.
You need to fucking watch this.
Turn it off.
Fucking turn it off.
I killed them for you.
Turn it off. No.
Oh, yeah. Amber. Well, no. You're going.
Just turn it off.
How does it fucking end Jacob.
How does it end up?
Turn it off! Turn it off!
Turn it off!
Fuck!
Oh, fuck.
How's that for an ending?
Hey, Diane.
Just checking in.
Alpine Oaks kind of sucks.
A little murdery for my liking.
There's something I've been,
I've been meaning to tell you.
But it's hard for me to.
Explain.
I just found,
that now would be a better time
than ever.
When Mary died.
I felt like all the
best parts of me died with her.
And she brought out the best in me.
So I felt like I was always trying to do.
Things that I thought were good
to try and keep that part of me alive.
But I'm not really doing good things
anymore.
I'm just.
I'm just hurting people.
I'm just digging up people's pain.
Because I don't want to bury my own.
And I'm just so sick of it.
And I'm fucking scared.
So I just.
I don't,
I'm don't fucking like who I am.
I really fucking hate
who I am. And.
I just want to do something good.
I think I'm done with writing for a while.
I miss you.
I'll call you later.
Well folks if you were stuck in Alpine Oaks
you lucked out.
The storm of the century
narrowly missed the area.
We have clear
skies and beautiful weather.
The perfect weather
to go relax on the water or go camping.
