Regicide (2022) Movie Script
(insects chirping) (suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Jamie grunting) (Jamie panting)
(music intensifies)
No, no.
Seth, stop, please, please, please.
If it's you, if it's you, you'll stop!
No, stop! (Screams)
(gun firing) (dramatic music)
(birds chirping) (crows cawing)
Hey, you all right?
Just hunters.
Yeah, yeah. It's just...
What's, what's in that one?
It's metal stuff from the barn.
Metal stuff? (Objects clattering)
Yeah.
Do you mean tools?
- I think so, probably.?
- Yeah.
It's hard to be sure.
Green sticker.
You know which one the green one is, right?
- Yeah.
- Hey, Caleb,
can you stop being a prick
to my friends for five minutes?
No, it's okay. It's all right.
No, it's not.
Oh, honestly, we're used to him.
Besides, we're here for you okay?
I know, and I appreciate that. Thanks.
- All right.
- What color?
This is full of books. So red?
Yeah, I have a feeling the
color coding wasn't your idea.
What gave that away?
[Daniel] Do you think we
can switch? I don't want to...
Oh, no. Yeah, that's fine.
That's good, thanks. I appreciate it.
Okay is there much more left?
Uh this, few things in the house,
maybe like six boxes in the barn or so?
Want me to hit the barn with you?
No, no, that's okay. Thank you, though.
Seems kind of prickly today, huh?
Hm, well, you know what
at least it keeps him outta trouble, right?
Are you snooping?
No. Just browsing.
Anything good? (Insects chirping)
Where the fuck are all my coyote traps?
I don't know.
I told everybody not to touch them.
That is a safety hazard,
you could lose a hand.
(Sandra sighs)
Daniel probably put
them in the trailer already.
Fucking Daniel, he told me he had tools.
He's doing his best, okay?
And he's free, and he's my friend.
Get what you pay
for. (Objects clattering)
How did he end up with a
woman like Ruth anyway?
That kid's brain is orbiting Jupiter.
(scoffs) He's very sweet Caleb.
Not that you'd know anything about that.
Really? Right fucking now?
What?
I just, I just don't have time
for this snarky attitude okay?
If we don't get the rental back in time,
we will have to pay for another day.
How much could that actually cost?
Do you have an extra pile
of cash just hidden in the barn
because you didn't tell me about it.
[Sandra] Okay would
it kill you to be positive?
Just for like the rest of the
day? They're doing us a favor.
(tense electronic music)
Doing us a favor? Yeah.
Great.
Wonderful.
Green sticker. (Box thuds)
(objects clattering) (insects chirping)
(birds chirping) (gravel crunching)
Do you wanna talk about it?
No.
(Ruth sighs) (somber music)
(Sandra sighs) (floor creaking)
How goes the battle?
I thought everyone could use some coffee.
Ah, yes. I'd kill for one.
[Daniel] I can't seem
to get the kettle to work.
Um... Let me try.
Ugh guess it bit the dust.
One less thing to move, I guess.
I'm just glad it wasn't me.
No, don't worry about it.
We've got some instant. So.
Sandra, do you wanna talk about it.
No, I don't wanna fucking talk about it.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. It's fine.
It's just stress from the move, I guess.
(buttons clicking)
(Sandra sighs softly)
(switch clacking)
Fuse?
[Daniel] Do you want me to get it?
No, no, it's fine.
(light clattering) (draw thudding)
(light whirring) (button clicking)
(somber music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
(switches clacking)
Try it now.
(switches clacking)
[Daniel] No change.
Okay, I'm coming back up.
(object thudding) (somber music continues)
(object squeaking)
All right. That's it, guys.
Let's get going.
Great job everyone.
Daniel, you pull your car to the side
and then you can follow us.
I just wanna take one last quick sweep.
We have everything.
It'll take me five minutes, Caleb.
Sandra, get in the
car. (Insects chirping)
(door clunking)
(door slamming)
(door clunking) (keys jingling)
What's wrong?
Can't seem to get the car to start.
(sighs) Do you want me to try?
No, I, I can do it.
(keys jingling) (insects chirping)
- Last load. Are you excited?
- Thrilled.
(Caleb scoffs)
Yeah, I wouldn't want him
behind the wheel either,
honestly I'm just surprised
he is legally allowed to drive.
(insects chirping)
Jesus Christ how difficult
of a task is this? Today?
Gimme two minutes and I'll see what's up.
(door thudding)
Hey guys, what's up?
I think the battery's dead.
I think I may have left the light on.
[Sandra] Oh, okay.
Give me a sec.
Caleb, do we have jumper cables?
What?
Jumper cables. Their battery's dead.
- You're joking right now.
- I'm afraid not.
I don't have the fucking time for this.
We'll just give them a boost.
Do you know where the cables are?
- In the trailer?
- In the trailer.
I am not spending my life
unpacking dozens of mislabeled boxes
because you can't
take care of your vehicle.
Put it in neutral and hop out.
You too, hop out.
What? What's happening?
We are moving this piece
of garbage out of the way
so that we can take care of the rental.
Okay first of all, rude.
Second, I don't get it.
[Sandra] Yeah how does
this help us start their car?
That's not my problem right now, okay?
The rental car with a trailer
full of our shit is my problem.
No give me two minutes.
We can get the jumper cables.
I don't know how to be more clear Sandra.
We have to go now.
[Sandra] What and we're
gonna leave them here?
You guys are what? Three
miles down the road, right?
You're fine, you did... (hands clap)
Thank you for everything
that you've done so far.
We really appreciate
it. We have it from here.
No Caleb, you're being ridiculous.
[Caleb] Sandra!
Just don't.
Okay, Daniel, come on.
Ruth, can you just crank the steering wheel
to the left, please?
Okay bend your knees.
Ready? Okay.
Three, two, one.
Push.
(both grunting) (footsteps shuffling)
(both panting)
- We did it.
- Thanks, man. All right.
Caleb, get the chalk. (Insects chirping)
(door thudding)
(seat belts clicking)
(keys jingling)
(ignition clacking) (tense music)
Fuck!
(Caleb panting)
Daniel were you screwing around with this?
No one has touched
your car but you, Caleb.
What about Ruth? She
has been near it all day.
I didn't sabotage your
fucking car, Caleb, okay?
I'm just trying to get you outta here.
- Get me outta here?
- The both of you.
I am sure that's what you meant.
Why don't we call AAA?
Holy shit. The space
cadet had a coherent thought.
[Sandra] You don't have
to be such an asshole, okay?
We're all trying to get out of here.
Yelling at my friends isn't going to help.
- Call them.
- Ruth, do you mind?
Thanks. Oh, your battery's dead, Ruth.
[Daniel] I don't own a phone.
Of course you don't. (Laughs)
Who's got a charger?
Wouldn't make a difference
anyways. Power's been cut.
Of course it has.
What a perfect time for
everybody's incompetence
to shine like the fucking stars.
[Sandra] Caleb.
You don't have to be so upset, okay?
What do you want us to do?
Why aren't you mad?
You're the one who wanted
to get out of this house
so fucking badly.
Do you wanna have that
conversation right now?
[Daniel] Um, our place
is really not that far away.
I can get a jump starter,
it's just hour, hour and a half.
Daniel, I think that would be best.
(somber music) (insects chirping)
(dirt crunching softly) (suspenseful music)
(engine roaring)
Hello there, friend.
Afternoon.
Not a bad afternoon at all, is it?
[Daniel] No. No, it's not.
Not like that other day.
The other day?
That's right.
Well, okay. (Laughs nervously)
Where are you headed?
Where? Where am I headed?
Right.
I'm just, I'm just going home.
What's going on there?
What's going on at my home?
I said, what's going on there?
Oh. I'm just gonna help my friends.
I just need to pick something up.
Oh.
Um, can I help you with something?
Oh, you know I was
trying to meet the neighbors,
I'm new in town, just moved in last week.
Well, welcome.
Thanks.
Where'd you come from?
Oh pretty far, I guess. Pretty far.
Far like the coast?
Right! Like the coast.
Do you like the coast?
I think so. I've never
actually been there.
Oh it's beautiful. I should take you.
It's a date. (Laughs)
So what's going on there?
What at, at the coast?
At your home?
Oh, I just need to pick
something up for my friends.
They're stranded.
You don't say.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Yeah, they're over there a bit.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
How many friends?
- Including me?
- That's right.
That's four. Four friends.
No fun being stranded.
No. No fun at all.
Say, I don't mean to be rude or anything,
but I really gotta get going.
Oh, sure, sure. I totally understand.
[Daniel] Okay. (Suspenseful music)
Real kind of you to
help your friends like that.
Oh, it's, it's nothing.
Not nothing. You're a good lad.
Good to help your friends. Rare.
That's what friends
do. They help friends.
You're a good guy. I could tell.
I got a sense for these things.
Thanks. Um, I gotta get going.
Hey, wait a minute, man.
Now come over here a second.
I'll give you a lift.
Well. No, I don't think so, I.
You've said your
friends are stranded, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
Strange man offers you a
ride, you're supposed to say no,
but I'm no pedophile, and
you're no spring chicken
and look nothing up my sleeve.
Tell you what, you come over here.
I'll give you a ride.
We'll get to know each
other, real neighbor-like.
(suspenseful music continues)
Well it is a mile up
the road. Is that okay?
Sure thing. Hop in.
Okay. Thanks.
(cups clattering)
(door slamming)
My name is Daniel. What's your name?
(suspenseful music continues)
(music intensifies)
(object roaring)
We don't have to talk about it, you know.
I know.
But on the other hand, I mean,
this is probably my last
free session with you
for a while, so.
Okay did something happen
before we arrived today?
I mean, he seemed pretty worked up.
I think he's just stressed from the move.
He always seemed stressed.
Yeah, but we'll push through it.
Okay, but why?
Why push through it?
Yeah I mean, it's not
exactly a rare occurrence.
Because we've pushed through worse.
That's not really a reason.
I don't know. Ruth, what
do you want me to say?
Okay, look, I'm not trying to fight you.
I know you're not.
I just wanna see you happy.
That's why I keep you around.
(both laughing)
If it helps, I can throw some
money towards the rental.
[Sandra] No, it's not about the money.
But thank you though. I appreciate it.
Think you're gonna miss this place?
No, I think I grieved the
loss of it a long time ago.
The loss?
What it was supposed to have been,
what it was going to be.
And what was that?
It's more of a Caleb question, I think.
Can't tell if you want me to pry or not.
No, I think I'm at peace with it.
You know what? Sit with me.
Okay.
Do you remember Andrew Fulton?
(Sandra laughs)
That guy I dated in college?
Yeah, that's the one.
Yes, I remember him.
What about him?
Do you remember that summer
that we all rented that cottage?
I think it was after second year.
Oh my God. Yes.
And it didn't have a working toilet.
You were so paranoid about
getting poison ivy on your cooch.
I had big plans for
my cooch that weekend.
He was so adamant on finding
me the perfect place to go pee.
Oh yeah. He was super serious about that.
Yeah he put on like two hats
like he was Sherlock Holmes or something.
What did he call it
going on uh, piss patrol?
[Sandra] Yes. Oh my God.
I can't believe I forgot that guy.
- What a weirdo, eh?
- Oh, completely.
He was a lot of fun though.
I will give him that.
You guys broke up soon after that?
Yeah, it was short-lived I guess.
[Ruth] Why'd you end things?
We wanted different things, I guess,
I wanted something more serious.
And you found that in Caleb, I guess?
Why are you asking me this?
It's just that, that
summer at the cottage.
That's the last time I
saw you truly relaxed.
That's not true.
Well, last time I personally saw it,
and you and I are pretty much
in a symbiotic relationship.
So I would know.
Caleb and I have fun, okay.
Maybe not piss patrol
levels of fun, but we do.
- Okay.
- We used to.
And how long ago was that?
(Sandra sighs) (peaceful music continues)
(tense electronic music)
Caleb, there's something in the woods.
What?
She said, "There's
something in the woods."
Do you have a gun?
What, no, I don't have a gun,
but I do have my clothes in
a box labeled for the kitchen.
God, how many of these did you mess up?
Caleb, would it kill
you to take this seriously?
Oh, I take it very seriously.
God knows what the food is labeled under.
I hope nobody's hungry.
Okay, look, we were
walking through the field,
near the tree lines when we saw something.
Wait, wait, wait. Why?
I told you there's still traps up there.
You could have lost a leg.
Yes, I know.
But we think we saw
something from the woods
coming towards the house.
Okay, so you think you
saw something in the woods?
- Yes.
- So you saw a coyote.
It wasn't a coyote.
Bet you it was.
Look Caleb, Ruth is
freaked. We're not kidding.
Neither am I. You guys
can't even tell colors apart.
How do you expect to
properly identify a coyote?
Okay, you know what?
Ignore me then like usual.
I got it.
Hey!
What the fuck is your problem?
My problem? How about
you take me seriously for once?
Take you serious?
You run up spouting nonsense
and expect me to go deal
with what, your imagination?
You always fucking do this.
Do what? Think rationally?
Do you honestly think
I don't know what a coyote looks like?
Obviously you don't.
This is so like you, I
come to you asking for help,
and you brush me off
like I'm fucking crazy.
You are acting crazy okay?
You got what you wanted.
You can drop the performance.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means you win. We're
leaving, congratulations.
- Are you fucking joking?
- No, I'm serious.
You win. You got yours.
I am punished. We're leaving it all.
Congratu-fucking-lations.
Don't you fucking put this on me, Caleb.
- Why? It's your ultimatum.
- My ultimatum?
Oh, your idea to leave.
You wanna talk about ideas here?
Was it my idea to leave a
good paying job in the city
and come fucking work on a farm with you?
Oh my God. I need new experiences.
I didn't twist your arm.
Was it my idea to blow
off therapy three years ago?
Okay. We didn't have the money for that.
That's not my fault.
Was it my idea for you to go start
fucking some girl down the road?
Jesus.
Like I said, you win.
I'm punished. I'm giving it all up.
Giving up acres of land for
some shitty downtown apartment
with no car, no parking spot, no nature.
So you can blog about your
espressos in a coffee shop
while I waste my life in
another goddamn office.
But that's okay because you
never have to see this house,
those fields or that
girl ever a-fucking-gain.
(door slamming) (Jamie panting)
Are fucking kidding
me. (Suspenseful music)
Help me.
(Jamie thudding)
(Jamie wincing)
Shh, shh, don't move, don't
move. You've hit your head.
No, we, we have to lock all the doors.
No, no, no everything's...
We, you don't understand.
They're coming for me.
Okay. Just, just hold on a sec, okay?
[Sandra] How many fucking
times has she been here?
Mostly we met up at her place.
Don't give me... Guys.
[Sandra] Stay the fuck out of this, Ruth.
[Sandra] Don't fucking talk to her
- like that.
- Guys, she's awake.
[Sandra] Great she's awake.
[Caleb] Then let's show her the door.
This is your fucking problem.
- You deal with her.
- You know what?
She seems pretty outta
it. So I think that maybe.
We should just... We should what?
Call someone?
'Cause unless you've got
a working phone on vibrate,
- hidden in there.
- No, no.
You're getting rid of her now.
I don't care where she goes.
She's getting out.
- Fine. I will deal with this.
Like I deal with everything
else that goes wrong
in this house.
No one is leaving. (Suspenseful music)
Jamie, what are you doing?
I'm sorry, but you have to listen to me.
I'm listening.
We're all listening.
- Who are you?
- I'm Ruth.
I, I... She's helping us move.
No one can go outside.
Okay.
No one is leaving the house.
Why don't you lower the gun?
No, no, no talking, we need...
We need to start nailing things shut.
I don't understand
what you want me to do.
- Where are the tools?
- They're uh
I wasn't fucking talking to you.
Tools are in the trailer.
If you would like, I can go and grab them.
No, I told you no one could go outside.
Okay. What do you want us to do?
Lock the door.
You get the side.
Okay.
(door clicking)
[Jamie] Hurry up.
Okay.
The doors are locked.
Who else is in the house?
No one. It's just us.
We need to check.
Everybody upstairs now.
Jamie, why don't we just
(gun firing)
I said upstairs. (Suspenseful music)
(footsteps shuffling) (stairs creaking)
Over there. Hurry.
(suspenseful music continues)
(door rattling)
No. Stay outta my bedroom.
I just have to check.
(suspenseful music continues)
(door rattling)
(object shuffling)
Ruth, go.
(door slamming)
Hey!
- The window.
- What?
Go out the window now.
Get them out.
Hurry!
(unsettling music)
Ruth. (Ruth gasping)
There's something out there.
What?
There's something or
someone out there in the field.
There's someone with a gun in here. Go.
Ruth.
(Caleb knocking)
You've seen them.
Yeah. I'm totally fine, by the way.
I know this is hard to believe,
but I don't wanna hurt you.
I'm trying to save you.
Look, those things out there.
They take you. They take over your body.
I know how it sounds, but I've seen it.
They took my boyfriend.
They took his friends.
They would've taken me too, but I got away.
- Bullshit.
- It's not bullshit.
I had to shoot him.
Jamie, who did you shoot?
It wasn't him. I had to.
He was one of them.
I didn't have a choice.
Sandra I've seen them and
I know you've seen them too.
(unsettling music continues)
You, you've seen them? Outside?
Tell me exactly where.
In that field.
Look. Go look.
Slow.
Keep your head down. (Caleb shuffling)
Do you see?
Uh yeah, sure, I see?
- What do you see?
- I don't know.
A field and some trees.
[Jamie] Oh Jesus Christ
Caleb, do you see them or not?
I will see whatever you want.
Just tell me what I am looking for.
Move. Get out the way.
Okay. (Unsettling music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
Okay get up, get up.
Open the door.
Come on. Come on.
Not a fucking peep.
(door slamming)
(heart pounding)
(footsteps thudding)
(both breathing loudly)
Don't let him in.
- What?
- Don't let him in.
- Who?
- Make him go away,
- or I start shooting.
- Okay.
(Jamie breathing hard) (heart pounding)
(door creaking) (insects chirping)
(both panting)
Oh thank fuck.
- What's out there.
- A cop.
(dramatic music) (insects chirping)
Howdy neighbor.
Hey. Hey, Seth.
Okay Ruth, we need to get out of here now
we're going out the window.
Wait, what if she's telling the truth?
Do you even know who's
been pointing a gun at us?
Okay look, I understand
that her and Caleb have history, but.
History to say the fucking least.
No we are getting out of here now.
You all packed up?
Yeah. All,
all packed up. Ready to hit the road.
Must be excited.
Excited?
Yeah, very. Can't wait.
Sandra, I get it. I do.
But if she is telling the truth,
then we have to stay quiet.
That piece of shit is
incapable of telling the truth.
I'll bet.
Hey is your lady around?
Never did get to make her acquaintance.
Oh yeah? No.
No she uh, she went on ahead.
- Did she?
- Yeah.
Shame.
Sandra, you saw them
too okay? I was there.
I saw that you saw them.
I don't know what we saw,
but it doesn't fucking justify any.
Justify?
She's a crazy person,
but she's a crazy person with a gun okay?
You are being completely irrational.
I can't believe you're
taking her side in this.
Well, I just wanted to
wish you both good luck.
You'll have to pass that along to her.
Will do. Thank you.
Jamie didn't stop in by chance, did she?
Jamie? What?
I am not taking her aside. I am not.
I'm just trying to get
us out of this unscathed.
Oh my God. How long
have we been friends for?
Why don't you just trust me?
This isn't about trust.
She took off on me this morning.
I thought she might
have fancied one last roll
in your hay bales.
Look, Seth, I.
No, out the window. We're going.
Wait, wait, wait.
Will you just wait, the
logical thing to do is to wait.
Caleb, we're both men here.
It's okay.
It's fine.
Jamie's not here.
The logical thing to do is
get the fuck out of this house.
Okay? We need to move now, help me, Ruth.
Help me.
I'll tell you what. I'll
come in for a farewell beer.
No hard feelings.
I don't have any beer.
That's okay. I don't drink.
Sandra, stop, just stop.
Stop. (Ruth thudding)
(suspenseful music) (machine whirring)
(gun firing)
It wasn't him. It wasn't him.
(suspenseful music)
(Caleb retching)
(Sandra thumping) (grass crunching)
(shoes skidding) (Jamie panting)
(machine roaring)
Hey, hey. No, get out, you left.
You can't come back in.
- No, no.
- Ah, hey!
(both grunting)
Hey! No.
(gun clicking)
Find something to tie this bitch up with.
Kitchen.
That's as tight as I can make it.
Okay.
You better start fucking talking.
Hey, are you deaf?
[Ruth] Go easy.
[Sandra] Why did you come here?
I didn't know where else to go.
Oh, and you thought
you'd be welcome here.
- It's all right.
- Nothing is all right.
We just need to know what's going on.
What are those things?
Where did they come
from? How did they find us?
Are they with you? What do they want?
- Answer me.
- Sandra.
Just give her a minute.
- Don't sympathize with her.
Do you not remember
who had a gun in our faces
five minutes ago?
Well, she's obviously traumatized.
And we're not?
Okay you know what? That's it.
- You're going outside.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, no, no. Please no.
Then answer my fucking questions.
[Jamie] Okay.
Okay. (Jame breathing heavily)
About a week ago,
Seth started complaining
that his friends were acting differently.
Who the fuck is Seth?
My boyfriend.
Dead guy at the side of the house.
So what you shot him for it?
- I didn't shoot Seth.
- Okay.
What part of start making
sense did you not understand?
He said something was wrong.
I thought maybe he was
just stressed from work.
He said his friends were
changing, but he didn't know how.
And then I started to see it too.
- See what?
- The changes.
What changes?
You know when you
know someone really well
and you can just tell when
there's something wrong?
I used to think so.
It's like that.
Did you, hey(curtains rattling)
(object clacking)
[Jamie] It's Seth and Simon.
What are you guys eating?
Beans - Beans? (Laughs)
That's his favorite. You better be sharing.
Is this, it's my favorite boys.
Yeah. My favorite boys.
I am decorating a
cake for Seth's birthday.
Oh, I messed it up.
That's not bad. That looks like an A right?
Happy birthday, this is for you buddy.
(Jamie laughing)
You're gonna hate
this. He hates surprises.
He hates it.
What about the hat, can I wear the hat?
[All] Oh happy birthday.
I love this girl, she's the best.
Did I surprise you?
(all laughing)
[Caleb] And this is
the barn. You all right?
Come over here.
Put that thing down for a second.
Come on. (TV crackling)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(chair creaking)
(suspenseful music continues)
(door creaking) (machine humming)
[Jamie] I saw it happen to him.
They covered him in
light. (Unsettling music)
And then they came for me.
So I grabbed his gun
and I just started running.
And I tried to hide for a while.
(unsettling music continues)
And he found me again.
I didn't wanna shoot,
but it wasn't him anymore.
(seat clattering)
(insects chirping)
(Caleb grunting) (boards creaking)
(somber music)
Your go-to move is to kill a cop,
come to your lover's house
and then stick a gun in his wife's face?
- Sandra.
- What?
I think she's telling the truth.
Don't.
It might explain some things.
What things? This explains nothing.
Well, what about those weird things
we keep seeing outside?
I don't know what those things are,
but they sure don't look like cops.
It isn't just cops. I
told you it's everyone.
I think those things take you over.
Interesting defense.
Evil cops possessed your
boyfriend with a flashlight?
I don't know okay?
But I swear it's real.
Real crazy bullshit.
- Give me that.
- No.
Caleb, just give it to me.
I know how to work a flashlight.
98.7 Local.
I know the local station, Ruth.
[Radio] There's my PA.
Now I can repeat what Jimmy's saying.
Mild weather centrally extending from Texas
up through Tennessee.
Seems pretty mundane, don't you think?
No crazy cops, no possessed pod people.
Well, maybe it's still safe there.
Maybe it's still safe everywhere.
What about the weird things?
I don't know about the
weird things. Okay, Ruth?
I think we should go.
Where to the radio station?
Yeah. I mean, if she's
telling the truth, then yeah.
We could call for help.
Okay, the radio station
has to be like 10 miles away.
Well, Daniel's getting the jumper cables.
We just wait till he gets
back and then we get going.
Somebody left?
My partner Daniel,
he went to get something
to start the cars with.
He's not coming back.
Your time for talking is over.
If you sent someone out
there all alone, it's too late.
You made it here just fine.
Barely.
I think we should go
and find Daniel, okay?
Let's just go and find Daniel.
It's cool Ruth, Daniel is fine.
- He's not.
- Shut the fuck up.
Please can we please go and find him
and get the fuck out of
here right now please?
Let's just go.
Yeah. I don't know about the rest of you,
but I don't wanna be
here when it gets dark.
Okay.
This is us.
This is Jamie's house.
This is the radio station.
Main roads here and here.
Back roads here.
Here into the gravel pit.
Ruth, where did you see those things?
By the tree lines.
Is that it?
No, by the road too.
Okay that leaves us the
road in the opposite direction,
and the gravel pits.
What about the fields?
Too exposed plus it's slow going.
We'd run out of daylight.
I say we start on this road, back this way.
And zigzag to the gravel pits.
Only take the fields when we have to.
Okay.
Sandra, what do you think?
I think she goes first.
(insects chirping)
Sandra, we need to go faster than this.
Hey, pick up the pace.
Untie me then.
You don't need your
arms to walk, sweetheart.
[Ruth] Maybe we should just untie her.
I mean, what is she gonna do?
- Not an option.
- Look, I'm serious.
Daniel is still out
there. We have to hurry.
- Daniel is fine.
- We don't know that.
Hey, what are you doing?
Enough. (Insects chirping)
(somber music)
(insects chirping) (somber music continues)
(music intensifies)
Not this way.
Jamie what's wrong?
I'm not going back this way.
Come on. It's just for a little while.
Jamie why? What's happening?
I'm sorry what is she bitching about now?
I'm not bitching.
Why do I have to go first anyway?
Because you're our
prisoner. Keep walking.
This is fucked.
It's not fun being held hostage, is it?
I'm a victim here. Same as you.
Crazy shit in the woods or not,
you still killed a cop so
you're not walking behind us.
Okay?
Hey I think we should keep it down.
You're right. Shut up and keep moving.
- Maybe we could take turns?
- Oh my God.
This isn't a fucking democracy move.
(static crackling)
Guys?
Is it broken?
- I don't think so.
- Well keep turning the crank.
I am, Ruth.
We cannot just stand here.
Thanks tips.
So what does this mean?
Is it not safe anymore?
I mean there's no way to know for sure.
Okay so what do you wanna do?
I mean we haven't gone that far.
We could go back and
barricade ourselves in the house.
Still got some daylight.
What about Daniel?
We have to get him help.
- We will find Daniel.
- He is dead. He is dead.
Or one of those things.
- Jesus Christ Jamie can.
I am just trying to help.
Okay, so what are we thinking?
I mean, we could be screwed either way.
Maybe the station is still workable.
Do you know how to
operate a full radio station,
Dr. Ruth?
Guys, the radio station
might just not have power.
The people could still be fine.
What if we get there and.
Would you all just make a decision?
Shut the fuck up,
Jamie. (Static crackling)
(machine roaring)
Go to the radio station. How is that?
There's nothing, we can do that anyway.
Okay. Well, we'll, we'll
figure something out.
'Cause we still have other
I think it's safer back at the.
Fuck me. Come here.
(dramatic music)
(Caleb grunting)
I'm fine. Go.
What?
(sourceless humming)
(dramatic music continues)
(door slamming) (dramatic music continues)
(Ruth panting) (dramatic music continues)
(Ruth gasping)
No.
(Ruth yelping)
(metal clanging) (dramatic music continues)
(door slamming)
No, no, fuck!
(Ruth yelling) (dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(somber music)
(insects chirping)
Sandra?
Caleb.
(door creaking)
Where's Ruth?
Watershed.
What?
Watershed. Place where
we tried to make our own beer
that one time.
Is she okay?
How should I know?
I'm fine, by the way.
Ruth?
Ruth, are you okay?
Okay fuck this.
Let's go in the house.
Ruth, we need to know that you're okay.
(boards clattering)
You all right?
Not really.
Are you hurt?
[Ruth] No.
Well, then you're okay. (Somber music)
Okay, come on. Let's go inside.
Grab his legs. (Somber music continues)
(Caleb sighing)
(Caleb panting)
Okay. (Somber music continues)
(door creaking) (footsteps shuffling)
(somber music continues)
Sandra we can't just stay like this.
Pretty soon it's gonna be dark.
We won't be able to see anything.
We'll move when we have to.
We need to barricade
ourselves in somewhere.
There's too many ways in.
This room then.
I was thinking the basement.
[Sandra] No.
Why not?
It's too dark. You can't
see anything down there.
Yeah like I said,
pretty soon we won't be able
to see anything up here either.
Are you serious?
- It's a flashlight.
- A shitty one.
What do you want for me, Caleb?
A little cooperation would be nice.
Could you just shut up
and watch your window?
Who made you the fucking boss?
Are you fucking threatening me?
No, I'm not fucking threatening you okay?
Could you just do your job
if you haven't remembered
not everyone is back yet.
So what?
You just wanna wait out here
blindly exposed in the dark all night long.
If it was me that we were waiting for,
would you be downstairs
hiding in the basement?
You fucking would, wouldn't you?
No. Of course I wouldn't.
Then that shouldn't even be a discussion.
Sandra I get it. I do.
But we have to start thinking rationally.
Rationally?
Why don't you start thinking
with some compassion for once.
For once?
I don't have time for this.
Oh you don't have time for this?
- You know what I mean.
- I don't think I do.
Caleb, why don't you
come and share that with us.
Oh my god.
(static crackling)
- [Ruth] Daniel?
[Daniel] Ruth help me,
please help Ruth, help me, Ruth.
Ruth, help please, Ruth
help please, Ruth it hurts a lot.
It hurts, please, Ruth
please help me Ruth, please.
- Please help me.
- It's not Daniel.
- How do you know that?
- Please.
Because he's outside.
Oh, whoa hold on guys
let's just think one second.
Daniel, is it you?
Yeah, it's me.
Just hold on one second there, man.
Just hang tight.
Come on. Let him in.
Sandra, gimme the gun.
What? No.
I just, I just wanna
go check him out okay?
You wanna shoot Daniel?
No. No I just want to talk to him.
Why do you need a gun
if you're gonna talk to him?
Look, it's probably him okay?
But we don't know what else is out there.
Just gonna talk. (Somber music continues)
Okay.
Just gonna talk.
(door slamming)
Daniel, took you long
enough. (Unsettling music)
Yeah, took me long enough.
Trouble finding your way?
No. No trouble at all.
So what took you so long?
Didn't know where I kept this thing.
I don't know how to work it.
Come down and help me out.
You don't know how to jump start a car?
No. No, I don't.
So you come down here.
We'll work on it together.
You know, Caleb, I'm
really sorry about earlier.
What?
You know how I can be.
I understand.
I really can get under the skin.
This would've been a whole lot easier
if you just let him inside.
I'll tell you what,
let's bury the hatchet.
It'll be fun working together.
It's okay Ruth. He'll be in on a second.
Yes, he will be.
Just you and the space cadet.
- What?
- Inside.
Look man, I'm really
sorry about that. I just
Daniel? Daniel stop, Daniel stop.
(machine whirring) (unsettling music)
(flesh squelching) (Caleb groaning)
[Sandra] Stop, no, no, no.
(suspenseful music) (Caleb groaning)
(Ruth grunting) (flesh squelching)
No, no. (Punch thumping)
No Ruth, no. Ruth!
(Sandra groaning) Ruth!
Fuck!
(Sandra groaning)
(flesh squelching) (Sandra grunting)
(Sandra and Caleb panting)
What if she gets back up?
(footsteps shuffling)
(unsettling music)
(statue clinking) (blood roaring)
I guess that should do it.
(footsteps shuffling) (fabric rustling)
Where's Daniel?
I don't know. (Eerie music)
Do you wanna risk
it for the Jump starter?
You really think he
brought over a working one?
- Coming up?
- I'm not staying down here.
(footsteps shuffling)
(music intensifies)
(unsettling music)
(unsettling music continues)
(door rattling)
(unsettling music continues)
(unsettling music continues)
(footsteps thudding)

(unsettling music continues)
(gun firing)
I'm fucking out of bullets, oh fuck.
- Ow, ow.
- Turn your fucking light on.
- I can't, I, fuck, ow.
- Let me help you Caleb.
[Caleb] Okay, okay.
(Caleb screaming)
- Careful.
- Ow, ow.
(both yelling)
Just sit down, sit down.
I'm gonna go get bullets.
(door clacking) (insects chirping)
(gun clicking)
Sandra.
Whoa.
Hey, hey.
It's all right.
It's me.
I got away. (Insects chirping)
Are you the only one left?
Sandra?
You know I'm getting really sick of you
pointing a gun in my face.
(gun firing)
What was that?
An accident.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Come on.
(Caleb groaning)
[Sandra] It's okay. It's okay.
Come on. I got you, I got you, I got it.
(door slamming)
Damn it.
What?
There's no lock.
(Caleb panting and grunting)
See, I can't work a flashlight,
but I'm not entirely useless.
I'm gonna see if I can
find something to jam it.
- It's fine.
- No, it's not.
(stairs creaking)
(boards creaking) (metal scraping)
(somber music)
I'm sorry.
I thought that we'd forgotten
something down here
like a screwdriver or
a pickax or something.
Sandra, at this point,
I don't think it's gonna make a difference.
I guess we're not gonna
get that rental back on time.
You've been spared unpacking, I guess.
Thank God, you guys
fucked that up so badly.
Maybe we did it on purpose.
I wouldn't put it past you fuckers.
I'm sorry you didn't get your wish.
- What?
- To leave.
I doubt this is the
alternative you had in mind.
That's true.
I don't get it though. Why?
Why live on a farm if you're
just going to rent the land
to actual farmers?
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I mean it though.
You know why I wanted to leave so bad.
Why did you wanna stay?
I just wanted us to own land.
You wanted to be a fucking landlord?
No I wanted to be a king
and I was gonna make this place our castle.
I didn't need a fucking
castle, Caleb. I needed you.
We're not royalty.
We're not even very good peasants.
I wish I could have done better.
I know you do.
(door thudding) (Caleb gasping)
Sandra, we're not mad.
Just come out and everything will be okay.
I'm getting really tired.
Stop talking like that.
Sandra I know you're
scared, hun, but it's okay.
Everything is forgiven.
It's okay. We put up a good fight.
Hold on five minutes.
I don't think I can.
I'm not gonna get outta here, but you are.
I don't even know where the fuck to go.
Sandra.
I need you to understand something.
This door is eventually coming
down and we are going inside.
How about that storm door in the back?

[Radio] Tell me do you think
there's life on other planets?
- I'm not quite sure
but I suppose there would be.
- You think so?
- Definitely.
- Have you seen
- any as well?
- Have I seen
- a flying saucer.
- Seen one?
[Radio] Yes, definitely, at Lane Co.
When was this?
- 1953.

[Older Cop] Ma'am. Are you all right?
Why are you driving that car?
I'm on my way to the station.
Are you okay?
You didn't hear any of that?
You didn't see it?
Are you alone?
Tell you what.
Come with me and we'll get you safe
and you can tell me all about it.

No, stop! (Screams)
(gun firing) (dramatic music)
(birds chirping) (crows cawing)
Hey, you all right?
Just hunters.
Yeah, yeah. It's just...
What's, what's in that one?
It's metal stuff from the barn.
Metal stuff? (Objects clattering)
Yeah.
Do you mean tools?
- I think so, probably.?
- Yeah.
It's hard to be sure.
Green sticker.
You know which one the green one is, right?
- Yeah.
- Hey, Caleb,
can you stop being a prick
to my friends for five minutes?
No, it's okay. It's all right.
No, it's not.
Oh, honestly, we're used to him.
Besides, we're here for you okay?
I know, and I appreciate that. Thanks.
- All right.
- What color?
This is full of books. So red?
Yeah, I have a feeling the
color coding wasn't your idea.
What gave that away?
[Daniel] Do you think we
can switch? I don't want to...
Oh, no. Yeah, that's fine.
That's good, thanks. I appreciate it.
Okay is there much more left?
Uh this, few things in the house,
maybe like six boxes in the barn or so?
Want me to hit the barn with you?
No, no, that's okay. Thank you, though.
Seems kind of prickly today, huh?
Hm, well, you know what
at least it keeps him outta trouble, right?
Are you snooping?
No. Just browsing.
Anything good? (Insects chirping)
Where the fuck are all my coyote traps?
I don't know.
I told everybody not to touch them.
That is a safety hazard,
you could lose a hand.
(Sandra sighs)
Daniel probably put
them in the trailer already.
Fucking Daniel, he told me he had tools.
He's doing his best, okay?
And he's free, and he's my friend.
Get what you pay
for. (Objects clattering)
How did he end up with a
woman like Ruth anyway?
That kid's brain is orbiting Jupiter.
(scoffs) He's very sweet Caleb.
Not that you'd know anything about that.
Really? Right fucking now?
What?
I just, I just don't have time
for this snarky attitude okay?
If we don't get the rental back in time,
we will have to pay for another day.
How much could that actually cost?
Do you have an extra pile
of cash just hidden in the barn
because you didn't tell me about it.
[Sandra] Okay would
it kill you to be positive?
Just for like the rest of the
day? They're doing us a favor.
(tense electronic music)
Doing us a favor? Yeah.
Great.
Wonderful.
Green sticker. (Box thuds)
(objects clattering) (insects chirping)
(birds chirping) (gravel crunching)
Do you wanna talk about it?
No.
(Ruth sighs) (somber music)
(Sandra sighs) (floor creaking)
How goes the battle?
I thought everyone could use some coffee.
Ah, yes. I'd kill for one.
[Daniel] I can't seem
to get the kettle to work.
Um... Let me try.
Ugh guess it bit the dust.
One less thing to move, I guess.
I'm just glad it wasn't me.
No, don't worry about it.
We've got some instant. So.
Sandra, do you wanna talk about it.
No, I don't wanna fucking talk about it.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. It's fine.
It's just stress from the move, I guess.
(buttons clicking)
(Sandra sighs softly)
(switch clacking)
Fuse?
[Daniel] Do you want me to get it?
No, no, it's fine.
(light clattering) (draw thudding)
(light whirring) (button clicking)
(somber music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
(switches clacking)
Try it now.
(switches clacking)
[Daniel] No change.
Okay, I'm coming back up.
(object thudding) (somber music continues)
(object squeaking)
All right. That's it, guys.
Let's get going.
Great job everyone.
Daniel, you pull your car to the side
and then you can follow us.
I just wanna take one last quick sweep.
We have everything.
It'll take me five minutes, Caleb.
Sandra, get in the
car. (Insects chirping)
(door clunking)
(door slamming)
(door clunking) (keys jingling)
What's wrong?
Can't seem to get the car to start.
(sighs) Do you want me to try?
No, I, I can do it.
(keys jingling) (insects chirping)
- Last load. Are you excited?
- Thrilled.
(Caleb scoffs)
Yeah, I wouldn't want him
behind the wheel either,
honestly I'm just surprised
he is legally allowed to drive.
(insects chirping)
Jesus Christ how difficult
of a task is this? Today?
Gimme two minutes and I'll see what's up.
(door thudding)
Hey guys, what's up?
I think the battery's dead.
I think I may have left the light on.
[Sandra] Oh, okay.
Give me a sec.
Caleb, do we have jumper cables?
What?
Jumper cables. Their battery's dead.
- You're joking right now.
- I'm afraid not.
I don't have the fucking time for this.
We'll just give them a boost.
Do you know where the cables are?
- In the trailer?
- In the trailer.
I am not spending my life
unpacking dozens of mislabeled boxes
because you can't
take care of your vehicle.
Put it in neutral and hop out.
You too, hop out.
What? What's happening?
We are moving this piece
of garbage out of the way
so that we can take care of the rental.
Okay first of all, rude.
Second, I don't get it.
[Sandra] Yeah how does
this help us start their car?
That's not my problem right now, okay?
The rental car with a trailer
full of our shit is my problem.
No give me two minutes.
We can get the jumper cables.
I don't know how to be more clear Sandra.
We have to go now.
[Sandra] What and we're
gonna leave them here?
You guys are what? Three
miles down the road, right?
You're fine, you did... (hands clap)
Thank you for everything
that you've done so far.
We really appreciate
it. We have it from here.
No Caleb, you're being ridiculous.
[Caleb] Sandra!
Just don't.
Okay, Daniel, come on.
Ruth, can you just crank the steering wheel
to the left, please?
Okay bend your knees.
Ready? Okay.
Three, two, one.
Push.
(both grunting) (footsteps shuffling)
(both panting)
- We did it.
- Thanks, man. All right.
Caleb, get the chalk. (Insects chirping)
(door thudding)
(seat belts clicking)
(keys jingling)
(ignition clacking) (tense music)
Fuck!
(Caleb panting)
Daniel were you screwing around with this?
No one has touched
your car but you, Caleb.
What about Ruth? She
has been near it all day.
I didn't sabotage your
fucking car, Caleb, okay?
I'm just trying to get you outta here.
- Get me outta here?
- The both of you.
I am sure that's what you meant.
Why don't we call AAA?
Holy shit. The space
cadet had a coherent thought.
[Sandra] You don't have
to be such an asshole, okay?
We're all trying to get out of here.
Yelling at my friends isn't going to help.
- Call them.
- Ruth, do you mind?
Thanks. Oh, your battery's dead, Ruth.
[Daniel] I don't own a phone.
Of course you don't. (Laughs)
Who's got a charger?
Wouldn't make a difference
anyways. Power's been cut.
Of course it has.
What a perfect time for
everybody's incompetence
to shine like the fucking stars.
[Sandra] Caleb.
You don't have to be so upset, okay?
What do you want us to do?
Why aren't you mad?
You're the one who wanted
to get out of this house
so fucking badly.
Do you wanna have that
conversation right now?
[Daniel] Um, our place
is really not that far away.
I can get a jump starter,
it's just hour, hour and a half.
Daniel, I think that would be best.
(somber music) (insects chirping)
(dirt crunching softly) (suspenseful music)
(engine roaring)
Hello there, friend.
Afternoon.
Not a bad afternoon at all, is it?
[Daniel] No. No, it's not.
Not like that other day.
The other day?
That's right.
Well, okay. (Laughs nervously)
Where are you headed?
Where? Where am I headed?
Right.
I'm just, I'm just going home.
What's going on there?
What's going on at my home?
I said, what's going on there?
Oh. I'm just gonna help my friends.
I just need to pick something up.
Oh.
Um, can I help you with something?
Oh, you know I was
trying to meet the neighbors,
I'm new in town, just moved in last week.
Well, welcome.
Thanks.
Where'd you come from?
Oh pretty far, I guess. Pretty far.
Far like the coast?
Right! Like the coast.
Do you like the coast?
I think so. I've never
actually been there.
Oh it's beautiful. I should take you.
It's a date. (Laughs)
So what's going on there?
What at, at the coast?
At your home?
Oh, I just need to pick
something up for my friends.
They're stranded.
You don't say.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Yeah, they're over there a bit.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
How many friends?
- Including me?
- That's right.
That's four. Four friends.
No fun being stranded.
No. No fun at all.
Say, I don't mean to be rude or anything,
but I really gotta get going.
Oh, sure, sure. I totally understand.
[Daniel] Okay. (Suspenseful music)
Real kind of you to
help your friends like that.
Oh, it's, it's nothing.
Not nothing. You're a good lad.
Good to help your friends. Rare.
That's what friends
do. They help friends.
You're a good guy. I could tell.
I got a sense for these things.
Thanks. Um, I gotta get going.
Hey, wait a minute, man.
Now come over here a second.
I'll give you a lift.
Well. No, I don't think so, I.
You've said your
friends are stranded, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
Strange man offers you a
ride, you're supposed to say no,
but I'm no pedophile, and
you're no spring chicken
and look nothing up my sleeve.
Tell you what, you come over here.
I'll give you a ride.
We'll get to know each
other, real neighbor-like.
(suspenseful music continues)
Well it is a mile up
the road. Is that okay?
Sure thing. Hop in.
Okay. Thanks.
(cups clattering)
(door slamming)
My name is Daniel. What's your name?
(suspenseful music continues)
(music intensifies)
(object roaring)
We don't have to talk about it, you know.
I know.
But on the other hand, I mean,
this is probably my last
free session with you
for a while, so.
Okay did something happen
before we arrived today?
I mean, he seemed pretty worked up.
I think he's just stressed from the move.
He always seemed stressed.
Yeah, but we'll push through it.
Okay, but why?
Why push through it?
Yeah I mean, it's not
exactly a rare occurrence.
Because we've pushed through worse.
That's not really a reason.
I don't know. Ruth, what
do you want me to say?
Okay, look, I'm not trying to fight you.
I know you're not.
I just wanna see you happy.
That's why I keep you around.
(both laughing)
If it helps, I can throw some
money towards the rental.
[Sandra] No, it's not about the money.
But thank you though. I appreciate it.
Think you're gonna miss this place?
No, I think I grieved the
loss of it a long time ago.
The loss?
What it was supposed to have been,
what it was going to be.
And what was that?
It's more of a Caleb question, I think.
Can't tell if you want me to pry or not.
No, I think I'm at peace with it.
You know what? Sit with me.
Okay.
Do you remember Andrew Fulton?
(Sandra laughs)
That guy I dated in college?
Yeah, that's the one.
Yes, I remember him.
What about him?
Do you remember that summer
that we all rented that cottage?
I think it was after second year.
Oh my God. Yes.
And it didn't have a working toilet.
You were so paranoid about
getting poison ivy on your cooch.
I had big plans for
my cooch that weekend.
He was so adamant on finding
me the perfect place to go pee.
Oh yeah. He was super serious about that.
Yeah he put on like two hats
like he was Sherlock Holmes or something.
What did he call it
going on uh, piss patrol?
[Sandra] Yes. Oh my God.
I can't believe I forgot that guy.
- What a weirdo, eh?
- Oh, completely.
He was a lot of fun though.
I will give him that.
You guys broke up soon after that?
Yeah, it was short-lived I guess.
[Ruth] Why'd you end things?
We wanted different things, I guess,
I wanted something more serious.
And you found that in Caleb, I guess?
Why are you asking me this?
It's just that, that
summer at the cottage.
That's the last time I
saw you truly relaxed.
That's not true.
Well, last time I personally saw it,
and you and I are pretty much
in a symbiotic relationship.
So I would know.
Caleb and I have fun, okay.
Maybe not piss patrol
levels of fun, but we do.
- Okay.
- We used to.
And how long ago was that?
(Sandra sighs) (peaceful music continues)
(tense electronic music)
Caleb, there's something in the woods.
What?
She said, "There's
something in the woods."
Do you have a gun?
What, no, I don't have a gun,
but I do have my clothes in
a box labeled for the kitchen.
God, how many of these did you mess up?
Caleb, would it kill
you to take this seriously?
Oh, I take it very seriously.
God knows what the food is labeled under.
I hope nobody's hungry.
Okay, look, we were
walking through the field,
near the tree lines when we saw something.
Wait, wait, wait. Why?
I told you there's still traps up there.
You could have lost a leg.
Yes, I know.
But we think we saw
something from the woods
coming towards the house.
Okay, so you think you
saw something in the woods?
- Yes.
- So you saw a coyote.
It wasn't a coyote.
Bet you it was.
Look Caleb, Ruth is
freaked. We're not kidding.
Neither am I. You guys
can't even tell colors apart.
How do you expect to
properly identify a coyote?
Okay, you know what?
Ignore me then like usual.
I got it.
Hey!
What the fuck is your problem?
My problem? How about
you take me seriously for once?
Take you serious?
You run up spouting nonsense
and expect me to go deal
with what, your imagination?
You always fucking do this.
Do what? Think rationally?
Do you honestly think
I don't know what a coyote looks like?
Obviously you don't.
This is so like you, I
come to you asking for help,
and you brush me off
like I'm fucking crazy.
You are acting crazy okay?
You got what you wanted.
You can drop the performance.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means you win. We're
leaving, congratulations.
- Are you fucking joking?
- No, I'm serious.
You win. You got yours.
I am punished. We're leaving it all.
Congratu-fucking-lations.
Don't you fucking put this on me, Caleb.
- Why? It's your ultimatum.
- My ultimatum?
Oh, your idea to leave.
You wanna talk about ideas here?
Was it my idea to leave a
good paying job in the city
and come fucking work on a farm with you?
Oh my God. I need new experiences.
I didn't twist your arm.
Was it my idea to blow
off therapy three years ago?
Okay. We didn't have the money for that.
That's not my fault.
Was it my idea for you to go start
fucking some girl down the road?
Jesus.
Like I said, you win.
I'm punished. I'm giving it all up.
Giving up acres of land for
some shitty downtown apartment
with no car, no parking spot, no nature.
So you can blog about your
espressos in a coffee shop
while I waste my life in
another goddamn office.
But that's okay because you
never have to see this house,
those fields or that
girl ever a-fucking-gain.
(door slamming) (Jamie panting)
Are fucking kidding
me. (Suspenseful music)
Help me.
(Jamie thudding)
(Jamie wincing)
Shh, shh, don't move, don't
move. You've hit your head.
No, we, we have to lock all the doors.
No, no, no everything's...
We, you don't understand.
They're coming for me.
Okay. Just, just hold on a sec, okay?
[Sandra] How many fucking
times has she been here?
Mostly we met up at her place.
Don't give me... Guys.
[Sandra] Stay the fuck out of this, Ruth.
[Sandra] Don't fucking talk to her
- like that.
- Guys, she's awake.
[Sandra] Great she's awake.
[Caleb] Then let's show her the door.
This is your fucking problem.
- You deal with her.
- You know what?
She seems pretty outta
it. So I think that maybe.
We should just... We should what?
Call someone?
'Cause unless you've got
a working phone on vibrate,
- hidden in there.
- No, no.
You're getting rid of her now.
I don't care where she goes.
She's getting out.
- Fine. I will deal with this.
Like I deal with everything
else that goes wrong
in this house.
No one is leaving. (Suspenseful music)
Jamie, what are you doing?
I'm sorry, but you have to listen to me.
I'm listening.
We're all listening.
- Who are you?
- I'm Ruth.
I, I... She's helping us move.
No one can go outside.
Okay.
No one is leaving the house.
Why don't you lower the gun?
No, no, no talking, we need...
We need to start nailing things shut.
I don't understand
what you want me to do.
- Where are the tools?
- They're uh
I wasn't fucking talking to you.
Tools are in the trailer.
If you would like, I can go and grab them.
No, I told you no one could go outside.
Okay. What do you want us to do?
Lock the door.
You get the side.
Okay.
(door clicking)
[Jamie] Hurry up.
Okay.
The doors are locked.
Who else is in the house?
No one. It's just us.
We need to check.
Everybody upstairs now.
Jamie, why don't we just
(gun firing)
I said upstairs. (Suspenseful music)
(footsteps shuffling) (stairs creaking)
Over there. Hurry.
(suspenseful music continues)
(door rattling)
No. Stay outta my bedroom.
I just have to check.
(suspenseful music continues)
(door rattling)
(object shuffling)
Ruth, go.
(door slamming)
Hey!
- The window.
- What?
Go out the window now.
Get them out.
Hurry!
(unsettling music)
Ruth. (Ruth gasping)
There's something out there.
What?
There's something or
someone out there in the field.
There's someone with a gun in here. Go.
Ruth.
(Caleb knocking)
You've seen them.
Yeah. I'm totally fine, by the way.
I know this is hard to believe,
but I don't wanna hurt you.
I'm trying to save you.
Look, those things out there.
They take you. They take over your body.
I know how it sounds, but I've seen it.
They took my boyfriend.
They took his friends.
They would've taken me too, but I got away.
- Bullshit.
- It's not bullshit.
I had to shoot him.
Jamie, who did you shoot?
It wasn't him. I had to.
He was one of them.
I didn't have a choice.
Sandra I've seen them and
I know you've seen them too.
(unsettling music continues)
You, you've seen them? Outside?
Tell me exactly where.
In that field.
Look. Go look.
Slow.
Keep your head down. (Caleb shuffling)
Do you see?
Uh yeah, sure, I see?
- What do you see?
- I don't know.
A field and some trees.
[Jamie] Oh Jesus Christ
Caleb, do you see them or not?
I will see whatever you want.
Just tell me what I am looking for.
Move. Get out the way.
Okay. (Unsettling music continues)
(footsteps thumping)
Okay get up, get up.
Open the door.
Come on. Come on.
Not a fucking peep.
(door slamming)
(heart pounding)
(footsteps thudding)
(both breathing loudly)
Don't let him in.
- What?
- Don't let him in.
- Who?
- Make him go away,
- or I start shooting.
- Okay.
(Jamie breathing hard) (heart pounding)
(door creaking) (insects chirping)
(both panting)
Oh thank fuck.
- What's out there.
- A cop.
(dramatic music) (insects chirping)
Howdy neighbor.
Hey. Hey, Seth.
Okay Ruth, we need to get out of here now
we're going out the window.
Wait, what if she's telling the truth?
Do you even know who's
been pointing a gun at us?
Okay look, I understand
that her and Caleb have history, but.
History to say the fucking least.
No we are getting out of here now.
You all packed up?
Yeah. All,
all packed up. Ready to hit the road.
Must be excited.
Excited?
Yeah, very. Can't wait.
Sandra, I get it. I do.
But if she is telling the truth,
then we have to stay quiet.
That piece of shit is
incapable of telling the truth.
I'll bet.
Hey is your lady around?
Never did get to make her acquaintance.
Oh yeah? No.
No she uh, she went on ahead.
- Did she?
- Yeah.
Shame.
Sandra, you saw them
too okay? I was there.
I saw that you saw them.
I don't know what we saw,
but it doesn't fucking justify any.
Justify?
She's a crazy person,
but she's a crazy person with a gun okay?
You are being completely irrational.
I can't believe you're
taking her side in this.
Well, I just wanted to
wish you both good luck.
You'll have to pass that along to her.
Will do. Thank you.
Jamie didn't stop in by chance, did she?
Jamie? What?
I am not taking her aside. I am not.
I'm just trying to get
us out of this unscathed.
Oh my God. How long
have we been friends for?
Why don't you just trust me?
This isn't about trust.
She took off on me this morning.
I thought she might
have fancied one last roll
in your hay bales.
Look, Seth, I.
No, out the window. We're going.
Wait, wait, wait.
Will you just wait, the
logical thing to do is to wait.
Caleb, we're both men here.
It's okay.
It's fine.
Jamie's not here.
The logical thing to do is
get the fuck out of this house.
Okay? We need to move now, help me, Ruth.
Help me.
I'll tell you what. I'll
come in for a farewell beer.
No hard feelings.
I don't have any beer.
That's okay. I don't drink.
Sandra, stop, just stop.
Stop. (Ruth thudding)
(suspenseful music) (machine whirring)
(gun firing)
It wasn't him. It wasn't him.
(suspenseful music)
(Caleb retching)
(Sandra thumping) (grass crunching)
(shoes skidding) (Jamie panting)
(machine roaring)
Hey, hey. No, get out, you left.
You can't come back in.
- No, no.
- Ah, hey!
(both grunting)
Hey! No.
(gun clicking)
Find something to tie this bitch up with.
Kitchen.
That's as tight as I can make it.
Okay.
You better start fucking talking.
Hey, are you deaf?
[Ruth] Go easy.
[Sandra] Why did you come here?
I didn't know where else to go.
Oh, and you thought
you'd be welcome here.
- It's all right.
- Nothing is all right.
We just need to know what's going on.
What are those things?
Where did they come
from? How did they find us?
Are they with you? What do they want?
- Answer me.
- Sandra.
Just give her a minute.
- Don't sympathize with her.
Do you not remember
who had a gun in our faces
five minutes ago?
Well, she's obviously traumatized.
And we're not?
Okay you know what? That's it.
- You're going outside.
- No.
- Yes.
- No, no, no. Please no.
Then answer my fucking questions.
[Jamie] Okay.
Okay. (Jame breathing heavily)
About a week ago,
Seth started complaining
that his friends were acting differently.
Who the fuck is Seth?
My boyfriend.
Dead guy at the side of the house.
So what you shot him for it?
- I didn't shoot Seth.
- Okay.
What part of start making
sense did you not understand?
He said something was wrong.
I thought maybe he was
just stressed from work.
He said his friends were
changing, but he didn't know how.
And then I started to see it too.
- See what?
- The changes.
What changes?
You know when you
know someone really well
and you can just tell when
there's something wrong?
I used to think so.
It's like that.
Did you, hey(curtains rattling)
(object clacking)
[Jamie] It's Seth and Simon.
What are you guys eating?
Beans - Beans? (Laughs)
That's his favorite. You better be sharing.
Is this, it's my favorite boys.
Yeah. My favorite boys.
I am decorating a
cake for Seth's birthday.
Oh, I messed it up.
That's not bad. That looks like an A right?
Happy birthday, this is for you buddy.
(Jamie laughing)
You're gonna hate
this. He hates surprises.
He hates it.
What about the hat, can I wear the hat?
[All] Oh happy birthday.
I love this girl, she's the best.
Did I surprise you?
(all laughing)
[Caleb] And this is
the barn. You all right?
Come over here.
Put that thing down for a second.
Come on. (TV crackling)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(chair creaking)
(suspenseful music continues)
(door creaking) (machine humming)
[Jamie] I saw it happen to him.
They covered him in
light. (Unsettling music)
And then they came for me.
So I grabbed his gun
and I just started running.
And I tried to hide for a while.
(unsettling music continues)
And he found me again.
I didn't wanna shoot,
but it wasn't him anymore.
(seat clattering)
(insects chirping)
(Caleb grunting) (boards creaking)
(somber music)
Your go-to move is to kill a cop,
come to your lover's house
and then stick a gun in his wife's face?
- Sandra.
- What?
I think she's telling the truth.
Don't.
It might explain some things.
What things? This explains nothing.
Well, what about those weird things
we keep seeing outside?
I don't know what those things are,
but they sure don't look like cops.
It isn't just cops. I
told you it's everyone.
I think those things take you over.
Interesting defense.
Evil cops possessed your
boyfriend with a flashlight?
I don't know okay?
But I swear it's real.
Real crazy bullshit.
- Give me that.
- No.
Caleb, just give it to me.
I know how to work a flashlight.
98.7 Local.
I know the local station, Ruth.
[Radio] There's my PA.
Now I can repeat what Jimmy's saying.
Mild weather centrally extending from Texas
up through Tennessee.
Seems pretty mundane, don't you think?
No crazy cops, no possessed pod people.
Well, maybe it's still safe there.
Maybe it's still safe everywhere.
What about the weird things?
I don't know about the
weird things. Okay, Ruth?
I think we should go.
Where to the radio station?
Yeah. I mean, if she's
telling the truth, then yeah.
We could call for help.
Okay, the radio station
has to be like 10 miles away.
Well, Daniel's getting the jumper cables.
We just wait till he gets
back and then we get going.
Somebody left?
My partner Daniel,
he went to get something
to start the cars with.
He's not coming back.
Your time for talking is over.
If you sent someone out
there all alone, it's too late.
You made it here just fine.
Barely.
I think we should go
and find Daniel, okay?
Let's just go and find Daniel.
It's cool Ruth, Daniel is fine.
- He's not.
- Shut the fuck up.
Please can we please go and find him
and get the fuck out of
here right now please?
Let's just go.
Yeah. I don't know about the rest of you,
but I don't wanna be
here when it gets dark.
Okay.
This is us.
This is Jamie's house.
This is the radio station.
Main roads here and here.
Back roads here.
Here into the gravel pit.
Ruth, where did you see those things?
By the tree lines.
Is that it?
No, by the road too.
Okay that leaves us the
road in the opposite direction,
and the gravel pits.
What about the fields?
Too exposed plus it's slow going.
We'd run out of daylight.
I say we start on this road, back this way.
And zigzag to the gravel pits.
Only take the fields when we have to.
Okay.
Sandra, what do you think?
I think she goes first.
(insects chirping)
Sandra, we need to go faster than this.
Hey, pick up the pace.
Untie me then.
You don't need your
arms to walk, sweetheart.
[Ruth] Maybe we should just untie her.
I mean, what is she gonna do?
- Not an option.
- Look, I'm serious.
Daniel is still out
there. We have to hurry.
- Daniel is fine.
- We don't know that.
Hey, what are you doing?
Enough. (Insects chirping)
(somber music)
(insects chirping) (somber music continues)
(music intensifies)
Not this way.
Jamie what's wrong?
I'm not going back this way.
Come on. It's just for a little while.
Jamie why? What's happening?
I'm sorry what is she bitching about now?
I'm not bitching.
Why do I have to go first anyway?
Because you're our
prisoner. Keep walking.
This is fucked.
It's not fun being held hostage, is it?
I'm a victim here. Same as you.
Crazy shit in the woods or not,
you still killed a cop so
you're not walking behind us.
Okay?
Hey I think we should keep it down.
You're right. Shut up and keep moving.
- Maybe we could take turns?
- Oh my God.
This isn't a fucking democracy move.
(static crackling)
Guys?
Is it broken?
- I don't think so.
- Well keep turning the crank.
I am, Ruth.
We cannot just stand here.
Thanks tips.
So what does this mean?
Is it not safe anymore?
I mean there's no way to know for sure.
Okay so what do you wanna do?
I mean we haven't gone that far.
We could go back and
barricade ourselves in the house.
Still got some daylight.
What about Daniel?
We have to get him help.
- We will find Daniel.
- He is dead. He is dead.
Or one of those things.
- Jesus Christ Jamie can.
I am just trying to help.
Okay, so what are we thinking?
I mean, we could be screwed either way.
Maybe the station is still workable.
Do you know how to
operate a full radio station,
Dr. Ruth?
Guys, the radio station
might just not have power.
The people could still be fine.
What if we get there and.
Would you all just make a decision?
Shut the fuck up,
Jamie. (Static crackling)
(machine roaring)
Go to the radio station. How is that?
There's nothing, we can do that anyway.
Okay. Well, we'll, we'll
figure something out.
'Cause we still have other
I think it's safer back at the.
Fuck me. Come here.
(dramatic music)
(Caleb grunting)
I'm fine. Go.
What?
(sourceless humming)
(dramatic music continues)
(door slamming) (dramatic music continues)
(Ruth panting) (dramatic music continues)
(Ruth gasping)
No.
(Ruth yelping)
(metal clanging) (dramatic music continues)
(door slamming)
No, no, fuck!
(Ruth yelling) (dramatic music continues)
(dramatic music continues)
(somber music)
(insects chirping)
Sandra?
Caleb.
(door creaking)
Where's Ruth?
Watershed.
What?
Watershed. Place where
we tried to make our own beer
that one time.
Is she okay?
How should I know?
I'm fine, by the way.
Ruth?
Ruth, are you okay?
Okay fuck this.
Let's go in the house.
Ruth, we need to know that you're okay.
(boards clattering)
You all right?
Not really.
Are you hurt?
[Ruth] No.
Well, then you're okay. (Somber music)
Okay, come on. Let's go inside.
Grab his legs. (Somber music continues)
(Caleb sighing)
(Caleb panting)
Okay. (Somber music continues)
(door creaking) (footsteps shuffling)
(somber music continues)
Sandra we can't just stay like this.
Pretty soon it's gonna be dark.
We won't be able to see anything.
We'll move when we have to.
We need to barricade
ourselves in somewhere.
There's too many ways in.
This room then.
I was thinking the basement.
[Sandra] No.
Why not?
It's too dark. You can't
see anything down there.
Yeah like I said,
pretty soon we won't be able
to see anything up here either.
Are you serious?
- It's a flashlight.
- A shitty one.
What do you want for me, Caleb?
A little cooperation would be nice.
Could you just shut up
and watch your window?
Who made you the fucking boss?
Are you fucking threatening me?
No, I'm not fucking threatening you okay?
Could you just do your job
if you haven't remembered
not everyone is back yet.
So what?
You just wanna wait out here
blindly exposed in the dark all night long.
If it was me that we were waiting for,
would you be downstairs
hiding in the basement?
You fucking would, wouldn't you?
No. Of course I wouldn't.
Then that shouldn't even be a discussion.
Sandra I get it. I do.
But we have to start thinking rationally.
Rationally?
Why don't you start thinking
with some compassion for once.
For once?
I don't have time for this.
Oh you don't have time for this?
- You know what I mean.
- I don't think I do.
Caleb, why don't you
come and share that with us.
Oh my god.
(static crackling)
- [Ruth] Daniel?
[Daniel] Ruth help me,
please help Ruth, help me, Ruth.
Ruth, help please, Ruth
help please, Ruth it hurts a lot.
It hurts, please, Ruth
please help me Ruth, please.
- Please help me.
- It's not Daniel.
- How do you know that?
- Please.
Because he's outside.
Oh, whoa hold on guys
let's just think one second.
Daniel, is it you?
Yeah, it's me.
Just hold on one second there, man.
Just hang tight.
Come on. Let him in.
Sandra, gimme the gun.
What? No.
I just, I just wanna
go check him out okay?
You wanna shoot Daniel?
No. No I just want to talk to him.
Why do you need a gun
if you're gonna talk to him?
Look, it's probably him okay?
But we don't know what else is out there.
Just gonna talk. (Somber music continues)
Okay.
Just gonna talk.
(door slamming)
Daniel, took you long
enough. (Unsettling music)
Yeah, took me long enough.
Trouble finding your way?
No. No trouble at all.
So what took you so long?
Didn't know where I kept this thing.
I don't know how to work it.
Come down and help me out.
You don't know how to jump start a car?
No. No, I don't.
So you come down here.
We'll work on it together.
You know, Caleb, I'm
really sorry about earlier.
What?
You know how I can be.
I understand.
I really can get under the skin.
This would've been a whole lot easier
if you just let him inside.
I'll tell you what,
let's bury the hatchet.
It'll be fun working together.
It's okay Ruth. He'll be in on a second.
Yes, he will be.
Just you and the space cadet.
- What?
- Inside.
Look man, I'm really
sorry about that. I just
Daniel? Daniel stop, Daniel stop.
(machine whirring) (unsettling music)
(flesh squelching) (Caleb groaning)
[Sandra] Stop, no, no, no.
(suspenseful music) (Caleb groaning)
(Ruth grunting) (flesh squelching)
No, no. (Punch thumping)
No Ruth, no. Ruth!
(Sandra groaning) Ruth!
Fuck!
(Sandra groaning)
(flesh squelching) (Sandra grunting)
(Sandra and Caleb panting)
What if she gets back up?
(footsteps shuffling)
(unsettling music)
(statue clinking) (blood roaring)
I guess that should do it.
(footsteps shuffling) (fabric rustling)
Where's Daniel?
I don't know. (Eerie music)
Do you wanna risk
it for the Jump starter?
You really think he
brought over a working one?
- Coming up?
- I'm not staying down here.

(gun firing)
I'm fucking out of bullets, oh fuck.
- Ow, ow.
- Turn your fucking light on.
- I can't, I, fuck, ow.
- Let me help you Caleb.
[Caleb] Okay, okay.
(Caleb screaming)
- Careful.
- Ow, ow.
(both yelling)
Just sit down, sit down.
I'm gonna go get bullets.
(door clacking) (insects chirping)
(gun clicking)
Sandra.
Whoa.
Hey, hey.
It's all right.
It's me.
I got away. (Insects chirping)
Are you the only one left?
Sandra?
You know I'm getting really sick of you
pointing a gun in my face.
(gun firing)
What was that?
An accident.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Come on.
(Caleb groaning)
[Sandra] It's okay. It's okay.
Come on. I got you, I got you, I got it.
(door slamming)
Damn it.
What?
There's no lock.
(Caleb panting and grunting)
See, I can't work a flashlight,
but I'm not entirely useless.
I'm gonna see if I can
find something to jam it.
- It's fine.
- No, it's not.
(stairs creaking)
(boards creaking) (metal scraping)
(somber music)
I'm sorry.
I thought that we'd forgotten
something down here
like a screwdriver or
a pickax or something.
Sandra, at this point,
I don't think it's gonna make a difference.
I guess we're not gonna
get that rental back on time.
You've been spared unpacking, I guess.
Thank God, you guys
fucked that up so badly.
Maybe we did it on purpose.
I wouldn't put it past you fuckers.
I'm sorry you didn't get your wish.
- What?
- To leave.
I doubt this is the
alternative you had in mind.
That's true.
I don't get it though. Why?
Why live on a farm if you're
just going to rent the land
to actual farmers?
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I mean it though.
You know why I wanted to leave so bad.
Why did you wanna stay?
I just wanted us to own land.
You wanted to be a fucking landlord?
No I wanted to be a king
and I was gonna make this place our castle.
I didn't need a fucking
castle, Caleb. I needed you.
We're not royalty.
We're not even very good peasants.
I wish I could have done better.
I know you do.
(door thudding) (Caleb gasping)
Sandra, we're not mad.
Just come out and everything will be okay.
I'm getting really tired.
Stop talking like that.
Sandra I know you're
scared, hun, but it's okay.
Everything is forgiven.
It's okay. We put up a good fight.
Hold on five minutes.
I don't think I can.
I'm not gonna get outta here, but you are.
I don't even know where the fuck to go.
Sandra.
I need you to understand something.
This door is eventually coming
down and we are going inside.
How about that storm door in the back?

[Radio] Tell me do you think
there's life on other planets?
- I'm not quite sure
but I suppose there would be.
- You think so?
- Definitely.
- Have you seen
- any as well?
- Have I seen
- a flying saucer.
- Seen one?
[Radio] Yes, definitely, at Lane Co.
When was this?
- 1953.

[Older Cop] Ma'am. Are you all right?
Why are you driving that car?
I'm on my way to the station.
Are you okay?
You didn't hear any of that?
You didn't see it?
Are you alone?
Tell you what.
Come with me and we'll get you safe
and you can tell me all about it.
