The Couple Across the Street (2026) Movie Script
[Amy] Penny for your thoughts.
Lily.
Lily?
What?
The next rest stops
in thirty minutes.
Did you want to scrounge up
some lunch there or...
Ah!
[tires screech]
Is everyone okay?
Stay in the car,
sweetheart. Okay?
[deer breathing noisily]
Oh, no.
What happened?
Looks like it's
been here for hours.
Poor thing.
[Lily] Oh, no. Is it okay?
I told you to stay in the car.
I think I've got something
in the trunk I could use.
You're not gonna kill it.
[car door closes]
[Amy] I know, sweetheart.
Sometimes you just have to focus
on the things you can control.
Let it drown
everything else out.
I want you to take your seat
belt and then pull it slowly,
and then clip it in.
[seat belt clicks]
[Amy] Focus on your breathing.
I am safe.
I am present.
I am strong.
[door opens suddenly]
[startled gasp]
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.
I...
You did what you had to do.
You always do. That's
why we love you.
[pulsating music]
[birdsong]
This just feels right, you know?
It'll feel better
when my bed gets here.
[small chuckle]
You get the winks
and I get the sass?
Hey, you've been
all-time super lawyer
for the last few years.
Mhmm.
So you may not have
noticed all the winks
she gives you too.
She's not a client to win over.
She loves you, and she's
desperate to connect with you.
Give it some time.
I guess.
Thank you for doing this.
I think it's gonna be
really great for us.
Mm?
[laughs]
Mom, what?
Careful.
[Amy] Delivery, Mr. Lawson?
Do you know where my
online lesson plans are?
Yes. Important
documents came with us.
Trunk of the car.
Okay. Okay. Uh,
and my work laptop.
Ah, there it is. [Chuckle]
[sigh]
Sorry, I'm stressing.
Didn't know working from home
could be this stressful.
Everybody. Everybody knows that.
[Nate laughs]
But, but what if the
kids don't like me?
[noisy kiss]
[laughs]
[peaceful music]
[noisy knocking]
[Amy] Hey!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
- Take it easy, Ma'am.
- Nate?
It's Amy. Right?
Amy? It's okay, Amy.
My name's Tom. Tom Sullivan.
My wife Rachel and I,
- we live next door.
- Okay.
So we were knocking,
heard you inside,
someone inside, so I thought
I'd come around and...
It's fine.
[Tom] What the?
Nate, it's fine.
This is Tom. He lives next door.
Oh. Well, it's all right then.
Hey, neighbor, I'm Nate.
Casserole. I, my wife,
Rachel, made a casserole,
and I think she's
still at the front.
I think we should go and
see if she's still there.
[Nate] Yeah, come on through.
[Tom] Okay.
[Amy] We've gotta get used
to the isolation out here.
[Rachel] Oh, I know
what you mean.
There are mornings we look
out the back of the woods
and we feel like we're in the
middle of nowhere. [Giggle]
Do you spend much time in town?
Um, no, no, not really.
Not really our speed. Hm?
We're much happier
keeping to ourselves.
Our grandson used
to come up a bit,
but aside from that...
Why don't I get us a drink?
I don't have much to offer,
but I'll see what I can find.
How are the farmers markets?
Couldn't tell you. We grow.
Grow just about everything
we need in here.
Ah, we hear that.
Amy has the startings
of an herb garden,
and I think we're gonna get
vegetables in the ground soon.
I spent all of my time
at a big law firm,
so the plan is to start a
small part-time practice,
just be around a bit more.
So really this is
all of my fault.
Cheers.
That's how it should
be, grow your stuff,
take care of your own backyard.
No one poking around and
interfering with
rules and regulations.
Not a fan of the
government, I take it?
No, sir.
[Tom] So where'd you
all come in from?
This time? Chicago.
[Tom] Whereabouts?
Do you know Olds Town?
Yes, sir.
[Nate] North Lawndale.
That's a big change
from Brooklyn.
Yeah, you're not uh...
How did you know I
was from Brooklyn?
I don't think I have an accent.
[Tom] Oh, did I say Brooklyn?
I didn't...
And before you said my name.
I'm sorry. He does this.
Thomas!
He doesn't mean anything by it.
Doesn't mean anything by what?
What, what is he doing?
Tom served in the
military, and before that,
he was involved in
counterintelligence.
He still does background
checks on people.
On who?
Everyone.
He usually finds an outlet
with true crime podcasts,
online chat groups.
When new folks come to town...
Hey, make sure we're
not drug dealers.
I appreciate that.
So did we uh, pass your test?
Yeah, all good.
A few holes here and there.
[Rachel chuckles]
Why don't we leave these
nice people to themselves?
Sorry again. I mean no offense.
Tell you what, we're hosting
a barbecue on Saturday.
We could use a couple
of true crime stories
to liven things up.
We'd love to come. Thank
you. For... thank you.
[Rachel] We should
really get going now.
It was lovely to meet you.
And we're really looking
forward to finally
having some good
neighbors. Come on, hon.
No, no. We know our way out.
[Rachel chuckles]
You just had to invite them.
I think they're fun.
Looking forward
to good neighbors.
What's wrong with
their other neighbors?
What's wrong with
their old neighbors?
It's fine. Come on,
this is getting cold.
I wanna try this casserole out.
[sizzling]
Hi!
Here.
Thank you, darling.
Mm hm.
Lily, you having fun socializing
with the other kids?
Yeah. Getting on great with
all the other kids my age.
[kids playing]
Hey. They'll uh, need
babysitters one day.
Great. So just another five or
so years of this treatment.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
[Nate] Hm. I didn't
think they'd come.
Okay. I guess we're doing this.
That's the spirit.
And I can trade crypto
just about anywhere.
So we moved out here
after the first boom.
[Tianna] Besides, my crystals
resonate better in the woods.
Absolutely.
Keep it simple.
[Rachel] How are you? Good.
Oh, this is a pretty bracelet.
[Amy] Preppers?
Tom and Rachel.
They're doomsday preppers.
People say that
Tom was a good guy.
He was ex-service
before moving out here
to work in the prison
for a little bit.
But with everything
he's seen out there,
he didn't last long.
[Tianna] What's the
trouble, you know?
You can't escape the
monster inside, right?
It's like he's preparing
for someone to invade.
I worry about him, but I
also worry about Rachel.
It does feel like
she enables him.
[Tianna] I've seen
her roaming the border
of our properties at night.
[Rachel] Your earrings are
great. Who got them for you?
[Lily] My dad.
Will you excuse me?
I think Your dad has a
good taste in jewelry.
[Lily laughs]
What's the occasion?
- Lily.
- Mom.
Your dad would like
some help on the grill.
Hey, remember.
Just people.
Just try to put yourself in
their shoes once in a while.
Got it. Sure, Mom.
I'll give him a hand.
[Amy] What in the
world was that?
[Rachel] Oh, I just gave her
a different version of the
Mom and Dad are people too.
I'm sure it's nothing you
haven't already told her.
[chuckle]
She doesn't listen to me.
Well, why would she?
You're only her mother who
loves her and raises her.
[laugh]
Hey, neighbors.
I got some grub on
the table for you.
Uh, thank you.
But I don't think we'll
stick around for food,
but I appreciate the offer.
No? Dang, I was hoping
to get Tom talking about
some true crime. Between you
and me, all of these people
are about as exciting as
a bowl of plain yogurt.
You know what? My
mama raised me right.
I would never
disagree with my host,
but I think you should
form your own impressions.
Oh, I mean, Rachel, if the
man's interested, I I
Ah bah. Maybe next time.
Sounds good.
Where'd you get that?
[Nate] Serious war wound.
The battlefield? My
university dorm,
the combatants, me against
the camping stove I snuck in.
[chuckles]
Looks Like a bullet wound.
Well, camping stove
was packing heat.
[laughs]
Okay. Thank you. Thank
you. Let's go, dear.
Come on. I think our
other guests are waiting.
And I think that Dylan
guy is sweet on you.
He's married. Oh, and come
to think of it, so am I.
Nice of you to remember.
[Nate] Well, take a look around.
Do you see this place?
[Amy] I see it.
Why don't I handle the cleanup
and you go for a walk in nature?
Are you sure you don't
have to [startled gasp]
- The internet's down again.
- Lily!
Sorry. Can you pretty please
fix the Internet for me,
dearest parents?
I'll tell you what.
Your dad has been hard at work.
How about he takes a breath
and then deals with
your internet issues?
And while he's doing that,
how about you and I
take a look around?
I know you're saying this
like I have a choice,
but I don't, do I.
Mm mm. [Negative]
You sure?
Yeah, it'll be fun.
You know, in my time, nature
was kind of like our internet.
That's not even close
to a working metaphor, Mom.
[Amy] Isn't it?
[peaceful orchestral music]
[Amy] There you go.
Can you balance?
I don't know. You
have to hold my hand.
Oh, that is so gross!
[Amy] I know.
[Lily] It's good luck to
find a single feather.
[Amy] How do you know that?
I googled it.
[Amy] You googled it?
You and your devices.
[muffled conversation]
[Tom] No. See?
This one's collecting
rust in the mechanism.
The guy at the hardware store
said this was stainless steel.
[Rachel] I'll just
give it a vinegar soak,
and then then I'll
wax the parts.
[Tom] And if we
need it before then?
[Rachel] Honey, it'll
take three days.
[Tom] Well, why does
everything always have to take
three, three days?
[metal clacks together]
[shocked gasp]
[Tom] Amy? Amy!
Oh. Okay, Amy?
I'm gonna need you to
stay completely still.
Don't shift your weight.
Don't pull back.
[Amy] I I I
[Tom] No. Don't
shift your weight.
Whoa.
[Rachel] I know
it's scary, honey.
But trust him. Tom
knows what he's doing.
One move, then we're
in a whole other story.
Just hang on. He'll
get you out of it.
Your mom's gonna be fine, honey.
[Rachel] No. No. No. No.
Up here. Eyes on me.
Just be a few more seconds.
Okay? Just a few more seconds.
Right, Tom?
[Tom] Okay.
[Rachel] Okay. You're
good; You're good.
[frightened shouts]
It's all good. It's all good.
You're good. Safe and sound.
What the hell is
wrong with you people?
Ma'am, you stepped
over into our property.
Didn't you pay attention
to the markers?
[Rachel] We're out in
the Middle of nowhere.
There are risks that
go along with that.
What if something
were to go down?
Do you know how long it
would take for the cops
to get out here or an ambulance?
So we have ways of
protecting our property.
- To booby trap the woods.
- No, we just...
What would have happened if
you weren't here just now?
Or or if Lily had
been all on her own?
We would never
[slap] hurt... Amy!
You stay away from my family.
[dramatic orchestral music]
[Amy] Come on, honey;
Don't look back.
Nate? Nate!
[Lily] Dad!
Amy! Lily! Hey. Hey.
Hey. Are you okay?
Amy, what happened?
Our neighbors.
I'm so sorry I
wasn't there for you.
Mom?
Hm?
[Nate] Maybe you should do your
breathing exercises again?
Yeah.
[Lily] I don't understand.
It's... I'm fine,
sweetie, honestly.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
You don't have to hide
these things from me.
I, um... All right.
I know you've seen me get a
bit highly strung sometimes.
Well, when I was in college,
I... It was a man who
wouldn't leave me alone.
[Nate] Stalker.
[Amy] It's a horrible world
out there, and I just...
It's my job to keep you safe.
I'm lucky I have your father.
Oh, don't look so shocked.
You know your mother loves me.
What? Who cares about
that, Dad? And Mom?
How did you never
tell me any of this?
How about we go into the
details of it another time
when I'm less raw?
Oh! I got you ladies a
little moving in present.
Nate! Oh, it's beautiful!
[phone buzzes]
[helicopter whirring]
Mom, Dad, they're saying there
was a prisoner transport crash
up on the hill and
someone got out.
This is messed up.
It's okay. Right?
Of course. We need to stay calm,
lock up and hunker down.
It says the prisoner's
name is Wyatt Harlow,
a convicted murderer with a
history of home invasion.
It's gonna be okay.
For him to find our
house, let alone break in,
is very unlikely.
I don't want to play around.
Can we just go?
Okay. Uh, let's grab
a few things quickly
and then we'll get
outta here, okay?
Yeah.
Nate... I...
Thank you.
[Amy] Oh, no. They
won't let us through.
[Nate] Stay calm and
see what they say.
Is there a problem here, sir?
No. No, sir. Just, uh,
we heard the alert,
and my wife got a bit spooked.
Sir, you realize
that the alert asked
you to remain indoors?
No. I know that. But uh...
Listen, I understand these
events are quite stressful,
but I also need you to
understand that the safest
place for you guys to
be right now is at home.
Uh, yes, sir.
I'm gonna ask you to
turn your vehicle around.
We're on top of this.
Everything will be okay.
Okay. Thank you, officer.
[Amy takes big breath]
It's an enormous area.
He's not coming to our home.
[crickets chirping]
[dog barking]
[movement and breaking glass]
Nate? Nate, wake up.
Nate, I think someone's
trying to break in.
I heard glass break.
[loud banging]
What are you doing?
Hey, you better think
twice about being here
before I get downstairs!
[eerie music]
Nate!
[grunts of pain]
[Nate] Get a knife!
[Amy] Wait, let me help you.
[Nate] [grunt of pain]
Sorry. Okay. It's in
deep, but I'm almost done.
[911] Are you still
there, ma'am?
Yes. Yes, ma'am.
And there's still no
sign of an intruder?
Besides from the broken
glass? Sorry. I'm sorry.
That's fine. It's a
stressful situation.
We've got officers looking
into something else nearby,
but they'll swing by
you as soon as they can.
I know it's hard, but
I'm gonna need you
to hold tight and ride this out.
For now, try and get some rest.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
[knocking on door]
If he broke in the back, he
wouldn't knock at the front.
Okay, both of you stay here.
Whoa, hang on
Mom, I could help.
Both of you sit down.
You just said it
wouldn't be him.
I know what I said, but if you
think I'm just gonna sit here...
Nate! You can't
walk to the door.
How are you supposed to
defend us or yourself?
Just stay here and
protect our daughter.
I'll be right back.
Mom.
It's fine. Help me.
Stay here.
[door squeaks closed]
[dark music]
I am safe. I am present.
I am strong.
[ragged breathing]
We heard something shatter.
Sounded like a window.
Let us in, hon.
[Amy] How did you?
Is everyone okay?
No. Someone tried to break in.
Nate scared him away,
but then he cut his foot
really badly on
the broken glass.
- Where is he?
- He's in our bedroom.
- Lily?
- She's with him.
Tom, two in the master bed.
[Tom] Copy that.
First level, clear.
You've been through quite an
ordeal today, haven't you?
It's okay. We got you now.
Listen, we don't
talk about this,
but we have a secure
space beneath the house.
It's not much, but it's
got everything we'd need.
A couple of rooms,
facilities, food,
and no way for anyone to get in.
That sounds amazing.
[Tom] All clear.
[Amy] Well, if it's all clear,
then we should probably
wait for the police.
[Nate] Amy, you're not gonna be
able to relax if we stay here.
I'll be fine.
Thank you so much, we'd love to.
What? Sorry, I
just need a...
How about I give
you two a moment
to collect your
thoughts? Hm?
We'll wait outside.
[Amy] Yep. Mm hm.
Absolutely not.
Amy, I'm hurt, you're
scared, Lily too.
This isn't something
we take a risk on.
It's just one night.
[Lily] Please, Mom.
[Rachel] Let me just get this.
[metallic clacking
and squeaking]
Come in!
Come in. Come in.
Just get some lights.
[powering up buzz]
This is it.
Our humble abode.
Once Tom gets the hatch shut
[clack] uh, right on cue.
There we are.
Safe as can be. Safer even.
Tom.
This is the kitchen area
and the living room.
It's simple but works for us.
Let's get you sorted in
one of the side rooms.
Once you're settled in,
I'm sure you'll all start
feeling a lot better.
Okay! So why don't I
give you the tour, hm?
This way. Follow me.
Oh, and that's our ventilation
system. Really effective.
This is the bathroom.
There's no lock, so
[knocks on door]
Be sure to knock.
This is our room.
And keep going down the hall.
Bit of a maze just
around the corner here.
This way. Oh, this
is the storeroom.
Please don't go roaming
around in there. Just...
And... here we are.
So! I'll leave you to it then.
If there's anything you need.
Thank you. We really
appreciate it.
Okay. All right. See
you all in the morning?
Get some sleep. Top
bunk. Great choice.
- Good night.
- Good night.
[gentle music]
[door closes]
One night.
[sudden inhale]
[panicked breathing]
Nate?
Lily.
[breathing]
I'm safe.
I am present. I am strong.
Hey, Mom. I wasn't sure how
long you were gonna sleep.
[Amy] A chaotic night.
What time is it?
Nearly ten.
Oh.
How's your foot?
Much better. Rachel changed
my dressing this morning.
Ah! Can I get you
some breakfast?
Oh, no. I can manage.
Nonsense, dear.
You're our guests.
I know my way around a kitchen.
What'll it be?
Here?
Uh, no. Not in there.
Unless you'd like a
warm cup of bleach.
I got this.
Where's Tom?
He's in the War Room.
[Rachel chuckles]
It's actually his office.
He's in there. If you
want to knock on the door
and say good morning.
Thanks.
[knocking]
Good morning, Tom.
Tom?
[startled grunt]
- Morning.
- Morning.
Sorry, I'm trying to
listen for updates
on the police scanner.
Oh, any luck so far?
What?
Any luck?
Uh, not much.
Well, they think he's
gone to ground,
stalking through the woods.
But you don't think so.
You know, this place
used to be so safe,
but they've been cutting down
staff at the jail for years.
You know, this kind of
nonsense can't keep going on.
[radio noise]
[police dispatcher]
[sudden slamming noise]
Sorry, I get frustrated
with red tape is all.
Did you have a WiFi password?
I think we could
all use some updates
and I know Lily is desperate
to check her socials.
No, this bunker
doesn't have WiFi.
Hackers, I never
trusted this stuff.
Aren't you online right now?
That looks like a website.
Uh, no, these are just old
records... no internet here.
Sorry, I gotta get back to work.
Okay.
Thank you.
[dispatcher continues]
[Rachel] Two sixes.
[Amy] Two sevens
[Nate] One eight.
[Tom] Still don't
understand this game.
[Rachel] It's okay, honey.
[Tom] What is this game?
[Rachel] It's "Cheat", dear.
We've played it before.
Lily has a jack, you either
rank up or call her out
if you think she's lying.
[Lily] One jack.
[Tom] I guess one queen.
[Rachel] Whoosh, king.
[Amy] Ace.
[Rachel] Say, Lily,
do you hear that?
[Tom] I swear I hear something.
There it is.
All aboard the too too train!
Dad, that hasn't
been funny for years.
Hasn't been funny?
No, no, no, no, no.
Something doesn't go from
shooting milk out your nose
funny to not funny that quickly.
One three.
Oh. Oh. I know what it is.
[Tom] Okay, two fours.
[Nate] Sorry, Lily.
Thought you need to impress
your neighbors, huh.
Well, I think it's sweet
that she wants us to think
highly of her, which we do.
You raised a wonderful
young lady, Nate.
[Rachel] Five.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Right. I'm out.
[Rachel] Oh.
Can I take a shower, Rachel?
Sure, hon.
Amy.
I'm tired. Okay?
See you in a little bit?
Okay.
Now, Lily, I went to
the pantry earlier
and I got a special
can of something.
Do you know what's in that can?
Is it a can of...
It's a can of butt whooping!
Three eights!
[Rachel] I don't think so.
[Lily] Cheat.
[Nate] No.
[Rachel] I got three
eights right here.
[Nate] [groan]
You're a tricky one, Nate.
[Nate groans]
I told you we should have
worked on the same one.
Not too much longer.
Say, Rachel.
You guys heading home?
Yeah. Not that we
don't appreciate.
Ah, it's all good.
Easy for us to lose track
of time around here.
Why don't you grab your things?
Tom will walk you back.
[blender hums]
How about I grab our
things and you... two?
Okay. Why don't I grab our
things, and you find Lily?
Yep.
[blender hums]
[Amy] [urgent whisper]
Lily! What on earth?
I didn't do anything.
I was just...
We are guests here.
You were told not
to snoop around.
Look, I get it. They seem nice,
but the guns and the traps.
And those photos of
us and the neighbours?
We don't wanna
push these people.
I was just...
We are leaving, and
I want you to go
and help your dad
pack our stuff, okay?
Tom, what are you
doing? [Muttering]
I told them you'd
take them back.
I'm taking them back?
That's what I said.
I'm I'm sure they can...
All right? So what
are you doing now?
Well, I'm just grabbing a few
things before we head out...
Okay. Well, don't take all day.
I'll try not to, uh...
[softly] Thanks for
micromanaging me.
[intriguing music]
[cartridge clicks]
[light clicks off]
[door closes]
[birds chirping]
[Nate] Who'd have thought
half a day underground
would make you miss
the sun so much.
[Rachel] I'm just gonna
go check the perimeter.
We set some traps last night
when that police
chopper went by.
You guys be safe.
Any other worries?
Give us a holler. All right?
[Nate] Thanks, Rachel.
[Amy] Well, the police
came while we were gone.
They left a note saying
they found no evidence
of an intruder.
Ha! I guess they think we
broke the pot ourselves.
But they didn't find any
sign they've been here.
It's good news.
Yeah.
I have an idea.
Why don't I make us all
a snack? Hm? Yes? Yes?
All right!
Mom, you good?
No, sweetie. I mean, yes. Um...
I think... I think I need
to go burn off some energy.
Do want to go for a walk?
No. Sounds like a terrible idea.
Okay.
[Nate] Don't go too far, hon.
[Amy] I won't.
I am safe.
I am present.
I am strong.
Hello?
Hello?
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
[knocking]
Is anyone home?
Hello?
[splat]
[horrified screams]
Amy. Amy!
[quick breaths]
Good.
I'm here. Breathe in.
In ...out.
Good.
We don't have time.
Nate and Lily are
heading to the bunker.
I just sent Rachel
to go get them.
Can you walk?
Yeah, I just...
those poor people...
On me! On me. Focus. Focus.
Breathe in.
[inhale]
Out.
In. Out. Good.
We have to go now.
[sobbing]
Amy.
Hey, hey, hey.
What happened?
Are you okay? Where did you go?
It was bad.
I need to go let
the police know.
I'm sure they'll
extend the lockdown.
Better get comfortable.
Mom, are you okay,
you're shaking.
[Amy] I'm fine, sweetie.
You're not fine.
You're pale and
you've been crying.
I said I'm fine.
Sorry. I just...
We're together. We're safe.
It's okay. I just um...
I can't talk about
it right now, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
You okay, honey?
[knocking]
Nate. Are you awake?
[Tom] Oh, come on.
Come on. You know
better than that.
No.
The other case. The other case.
Okay. Okay, you're right.
Okay. I should, I
should check on that.
[whispering] Check
that. Check that.
Nothing about the
lockdown being extended.
Internet.
Yesterday.
Oh my God. The
neighbours' house.
[knock]
Who was there earlier?
Nothing. Did he
delete the video?
Debrief after covert
elimination
clandestine direct action.
How many people has Tom killed?
Meticulous planning.
Does he think he's still at war?
[clatter]
Tom?
[startled shriek]
You scared me.
I... I just um...
What are you doing?
I um, I couldn't sleep.
And then I came out here
and um, and then I saw
your your light was on,
your computer light.
So then I went into the office,
but then you weren't
there and I just...
It's fine. Just relax.
I thought I heard
something up top,
so I went to check it out.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just, um, I saw the
map on the wall again,
and well, I couldn't
help but notice.
It's just a map of the area.
[Amy] Right.
With everyone's
names and details.
It's just my training.
That part of me can't relax
unless I've got all elements
written down somewhere.
Right.
And the code?
It's an old service
code. It's shorthand.
It's uh, figuring out who
could do what in an emergency.
Who you can rely on.
Who could fight?
Sure.
Who couldn't fight back?
I don't hurt people.
Look, I've seen some things
and I've done plenty.
It's a job that's
left a mark on me.
How about you try
to get some rest?
Good idea.
Tom, what was the
noise that you heard?
Deer. There's a family nearby.
And uh, sometimes they
get near the air filters
if I don't shoo them away.
Deer. Makes sense.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
[metal door closes]
[Nate] What are you doing?
[gasp] Oh! Nate.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Why are you sneaking
around in the storeroom?
What's gotten into you?
There's something
off here, all right?
And I know you can't see
it because you're too busy
being bumbling mister
lovable, but I see it.
They are social hermits,
and they invite us
into their bunker.
And they heard our
window shattering
all the way across the field?
Tom just happens
to be at the house
when I find those two bodies?
That there's a bloody teddy
bear hidden in the storeroom.
And on top of all of that,
Tom is a special
forces trained killer.
Amy, I'm not an idiot.
There must be an
explanation for this
without indulging
in conspiracies.
I mean...
They're trying to keep
us and our daughter safe.
Our daughter?
Do you see how they look at her?
What if?
What if that's
what's going on here?
What if they're trying
to take her away from us?
You're being irrational.
No, I'm not.
No, no, you just don't see
what's in front of you.
Don't insult me, okay?
I hate when you do that.
But, God, I've done all this
work to overcome your paranoia
and now we're back
at square one.
How dare you throw
that in my face?
Yeah, fine. You're
right. You're right.
I'm just a bumbling fool who
can't see the grand conspiracy
right in front of his dumb face.
Nate, that's not
what I'm saying.
No.
Let's pick this up later.
[metallic slam]
It's okay, hon.
Good to get these things
out in a marriage, right?
What? No.
No, uh, this isn't
normal for us.
Just the stress of
being trapped down here.
[sigh]
We never fight.
Really?
Oh, hon.
My mama used to say, if
you love him, it's a fling.
If you still like him after
you've wanted to strangle him,
that's marriage.
[exhale laugh]
So go on.
Hug him or strangle him.
See which one
feels more natural.
Thank you.
Anytime.
[soft knock]
Hey, Mister.
Do you have room for
one more in there?
Only if you don't mind sharing
it with Bumbling Mr.Lovable.
I'm sorry I called you that.
I'm sorry, too.
You're completely right.
You've been through so much.
I shouldn't have
brought up the past.
It was wrong.
I've just been trying so
hard to keep everyone calm
and stay upbeat for Lily.
All of this.
Hey.
Just tell me everything's
gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Lily will be fine.
If she's half as
strong as her mother.
We don't have to worry
about her at all.
Plus they're like, what, 90?
I'm pretty sure
Lily could take 'em.
[chuckle]
You know, that thing
doesn't work down here.
You don't have to hold
on to it for dear life.
Look.
I know that you're not my
biggest fan these days,
but if we could just...
Oh, honey.
Honey, what's wrong?
What happened?
Are you and dad
gonna get a divorce?
What? No. No, why
would you think...?
It's just Rachel and Tom are
talking about you fighting.
Oh, honey.
We almost never fight, do we?
It hasn't been a
normal week, has it?
We're all feeling
the strain, huh?
I hate it down here.
It was fun at first, but I
feel like I can't breathe.
I get that.
How long do we
have to stay here?
I don't know.
But maybe the police
have caught the guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's possible.
But...
Nothing.
I will tell you what.
I will push for some
updates over dinner.
And if Tom isn't helpful,
I will take things
into my own hands.
Let me help.
No, Lily.
I don't want to
be stuck in here,
and I'm not just gonna sit
around and be useless.
What do you need?
I need a few minutes
alone in Tom's office.
How about we create
a little diversion?
I can give you that.
Okay.
[door opens and closes]
[tense music]
[Rachel] OK, here we
go. Another night,
another meal to be thankful for.
Some bread. And sour
cream. All right.
Go on then. Have at it.
Thank you, Rachel for
being so accommodating.
We hate being such a
drain on your resources.
[Rachel] Oh, nonsense.
It's our pleasure.
Right, Tom?
Uh... absolutely.
Tom, have you heard
anything on the radio?
Nope.
Nothing from the police?
No. No, nothing.
Huh.
Nothing new about
what's happened?
[Tom] No.
Hm. Here, Tom. Let me.
No. No, it's okay.
I can... I can...
No, no. I insist.
[shrieks]
[cries of pain throughout]
I'm so sorry. I hit
the bowl by accident
and it just shattered...
I'll get a dishtowel.
[Rachel] Oh my goodness. Okay.
[Tom] Never mind. Never mind.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
[Rachel] Don't worry about it.
Oh, here. I'm such a klutz.
[Rachel] It's all right.
These things happen.
Mom?
Yes, sweetie.
I don't...
Oh! Oh, sweetheart.
Go with Rachel, honey.
So take it easy.
[sigh]
Thank you for all
your help with Lily.
Oh, no problem.
Lots of commotion for one
meal, wouldn't you say?
[Amy] Mhmm.
[Amy] I'm gonna have
to keep an eye on her.
A few years back,
she got really ill
and had to spend some
time in the hospital.
If things get worse...
We've got lots of medical
supplies down here, hon.
Don't you worry.
This isn't the kind of thing
medical supplies can help.
How you doing, sweetheart?
Lily Bug?
Why don't you go
take a shower, okay?
What the hell was that?
I don't know what you mean.
Did I do okay?
You did so good. Are you okay?
How are you feeling?
Fine.
Yeah?
Can we go home soon?
We will be in our own
beds by tomorrow night,
no matter what.
I'm proud of you.
What the hell was that?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Don't talk to me
like I'm stupid.
Rachel was just asking me about
Lily's time in the
hospital as a kid.
Why would you make that up?
Nate, listen to me.
After you and I talked,
I talked to Lily
and she had a
breakdown and I just...
You comforted her.
Yeah, of course.
I comforted her,
but it reminded me
that Tom did nothing
about that poor couple.
He called the police.
He said he called the police,
but he's the only
one with the radio.
We we don't know
if he actually did.
Amy, come on.
No, Nate. You come
on. This is not okay.
I am trying to
protect our family!
By sending us outside with a
known killer on the loose?
By getting us out of here!
These people are dangerous!
Amy, they've let
us in and fed us.
This is getting out of hand.
I'm gonna go talk to Lily when
she gets out of the shower.
And I want you to
go and apologize
to those poor people.
Nate, please.
Amy, I'm serious.
Like, I can't deal with
your paranoia again.
Fine.
[sigh]
Why aren't you listening
to me? I told you.
But I already told you. I
told you what was going on.
Oh. You're questioning me.
Why are you questioning me?
I should be questioning you.
No. No. But no. It's
all clear so far.
But still, you need
to get here faster
because they're getting twitchy.
I think they suspect something.
Well, I'm trying.
Listen, if you don't
get here by tomorrow,
I'm gonna have to do something
more drastic. All right?
Thank you.
All right.
I'll check in soon.
Whoa!
Where were you racing off to?
You surprised me.
I I just need to talk to Nate.
You seem on edge. Let
me make you a cuppa tea.
No. It's okay. Thank you.
Oh, nonsense. You
need some me time.
Nate was really upset about
what happened at dinner.
I was gonna help you clean.
Oh, don't you worry about that.
Got it all in hand.
Lily doing okay?
I worry about her.
Down here, in general.
I guess you never stop
worrying as a mother, do you?
Is it any different
as a grandmother?
No.
But you have less control.
You're older, slower.
When things go wrong.
Something went wrong?
With your grandson?
Is he okay?
Did it happen down here?
Excuse me, I just...
I need a minute.
Well, isn't there
always something!
[Announcer] Police officials
made a statement today
saying they are no closer to
understanding how he escaped,
[Tom] Shoot!
But now that convicted
murderer Wyatt Harlow
has been recaptured
by federal marshals...
It is said that an
investigation into
prisoner transfer practices
will be opened in the state.
[Tom] Rach, you in here?
[Tom] Nate, Amy.
[Tom whispered] Lucky.
[door opens and closes]
[clicks into place]
[door slams]
Mom? What's going on?
- Lily?
- Dad said...
Honey, I know that I've
kept you at a distance,
and I am so sorry for that.
But I was just trying
to protect you,
and I need to be honest
with you right now.
You're in danger. Okay?
So I need you to
grab your stuff.
Mom, you're scaring
me. Where's Dad?
Oh no, honey. It's okay.
Your dad?
He doesn't know that
they're lying to us,
but we're gonna get your stuff.
And we're gonna get
the hell out of here.
It's okay. It's okay.
You're stronger than
you think. Let's go.
Stay close to me.
[Nate] Well, you know. I just
never really had the urge
for anything else.
And you just love math.
Mm hm.
Most people barely pass it,
let alone wanna teach it.
[Nate] I guess. What
about you, though?
Big military career,
then retired,
and got a hobby out of it.
I don't catch your drift.
I mean, you saw
active duty, right?
Probably took out a few
bad guys in your day.
And then when you retired,
you spend your time
learning about killers.
Don't compare me to them.
No, no, no.
I wouldn't. Of course not.
But you're telling me
you're not a little excited
about being in the
line of fire again?
If you think I'm enjoying
any part of this...
[Rachel] Tom! Hon.
Time for a breather.
What did I say?
He just needs a moment, okay?
[Nate] It's your bunker.
Take all the time
you need, big guy.
Okay, that's enough out of you!
[gun clicking]
[Amy] That's enough.
I told you, Nate.
I told you he was dangerous.
[Rachel] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just hang on a minute there.
No, don't think I will.
Amy, what's going on?
I tried to tell you Nate,
but you wouldn't listen.
And then you sent
me to apologize
for trying to keep
our daughter safe.
Tom, I heard you on the radio.
You couldn't wait till tonight.
You saw them at
dinner. That stunt.
[Amy] You lied to
us about the police.
About the radio.
They caught the
killer yesterday.
Amy, I don't think
you understand
what's going on here.
You're right. I don't.
I don't understand
why you're doing this.
But I am not going
to sit here hostage.
I'm taking my family
and we are going home.
Amy, you gotta listen to me.
I've been looking into you guys
since before you moved in,
but it took me a while to
get all the information.
Too long considering what
happened to that poor coup...
Stop moving!
Agh!
[shout]
[cry of pain]
I'm sorry.
[grunt]
I really do want to talk,
but it seems like you might
need some time out first.
[Nate] Nah, we'll pass.
[shouts]
I like Amy's plan better.
Amy, no, please.
You're not safe with him.
- What?
[Nate] That's insane. What
are you talking about?
The police are on their way.
Of all the deranged...
[Tom] It's true! He's
dangerous. None of us are safe.
Go ahead.
Go ahead. Prove me right.
You lived in Brooklyn,
then you moved to Old Town.
I was the one who broke
into your house that night.
I got a little careless, but
I was looking for evidence.
One of my contacts dug
up Nate's service record.
What service record?
Your husband did one tour.
Nathaniel Lawson,
you served in 07.
You were in the Surge into Iraq.
You don't talk about it much.
Do you?
You got a bullet to the arm,
and that scar, that scar,
that set me off because
I've seen plenty of
those in my time.
And it wasn't hard to track
you after that because
universities always
advertise their staff.
And everywhere you went,
there were murders.
Amy, I'm sorry I
ever doubted you.
These people are crazy.
That's correlation,
not causation.
Come on, Amy. You were
a big city lawyer.
Why don't you take a step
back and look at the facts?
You've just said
a bunch of things.
You've not actually
given any evidence.
[Tom] This killer takes
mementos from his victims.
You get a lot of jewelry?
[Nate] Yeah. Just
keep talking, old man.
My family and I, we're gonna
grab our things and leave.
And if you're very lucky,
we won't find a way
to lock this place
from the outside.
And you had a stalker before
you met him, didn't you?
And that stalker died just
after meeting him, didn't he?
[Nate] Stop talking to my wife.
[Tom] He's always been
protective of you, hasn't he?
I said stop.
The police said that this
stalker was beaten to death
savagely, that it was
a personal killing.
I said stop it right now!
Nate?
Nate.
Why aren't you looking at me?
I... I love you.
All right? I love you.
Can we, can we please go now?
You kill people?
You uh, you were
so scared of him.
I protected you.
You said you loved me forever.
Yeah. It's fine.
It's fine because
you fixed everything.
You and Lily ground me.
Yeah. Yeah, everything
was perfect.
It was so perfect
being out here.
We're so far away from
temptation until these two.
Did you kill the neighbors?
He looked at you.
Babe, don't look
at me like that.
Okay? Just...
Just give me five minutes
alone with these two.
Don't look at me like that.
Mom?
I don't understand.
[Nate] Lily?
Dad!
Hey, sweetie.
We're just uh, just
leaving now. Okay?
Come here, Lily. Go to the door.
[Amy] Nate, think about this.
[Nate] All of you need
to stop disrespecting me.
Uh uh! Put that down.
Don't be stupid.
Nate.
Nate. Please.
Please. Please. Please.
Let her go. Please.
Lily still loves me.
The rest of you can rot here.
Tom!
[gunshot / shout]
[Amy] No!
[door slams]
No!
No, no! [Sobbing]
[Rachel] There's
no time for this.
Get up. Off your knees.
With me.
I need you to unlock
the back door.
[Amy] The back door?
Back at the storeroom, there's
a door. Unlock it quickly.
No, I should be the one
that goes out there.
No. No! You're injured and slow.
And she's my daughter.
[Rachel] Just past the tree
line, there are about 10 traps.
Got it?
Be careful.
This exit will get you out on
the other side of the house.
If you hurry, you might
be able to cut them off.
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
[Rachel] [grunt] Okay.
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
Yes you are!
Okay, honey. Let's
get you cleaned up.
Dad, what are you doing?
Dad! Let go! [Scream]
Don't scream. You're
strong, you're strong.
Come on, honey. Come on,
sweetie. Come on, sweetie.
[crying]
Going on a little road trip.
Go on in the car.
Lily, get down!
[multiple gunshots]
Come on, Amy.
Don't damage the car.
I don't wanna shoot you.
And we both know you're
not gonna shoot me.
[gunshot]
Lily, stay down.
[gunshots]
[gunshots]
Lily?
Baby? Baby, baby, baby!
Are you okay? Did he hurt you?
I don't understand.
If he gets away, we're
never gonna be safe, okay?
So I need you to go
back to the bunker.
No.
Yes, Tom and Rachel are
gonna take care of you
until I get back, okay?
I need you to go.
Go! Stay safe!
[tense music]
[panting]
[gunshot] [shout]
All right.
How many, Nate?
How many people did you kill?
This isn't about love, Nate.
You murdered innocent people.
[Nate] None of
them were innocent.
[gunshot]
[Nate] That was
actually pretty close.
[gunshot]
[whimpers]
We'll start again. Okay?
You and me.
We'll recoup, start fresh.
New small town and
uh, no nosy neighbors.
And I'll stop doing it. Okay?
[Amy] Get off me!
Okay. I'll stop ...for you.
Okay?
And you'll love me because
I know you still do.
I know it. I know you still do.
I know you do!
[shouts]
Let me go!
Why are you doing this to us?
You're ruining our family.
[choking]
I'm sorry.
[gasping for breath]
I'll always love you.
And I'll never speak
bad of you to Lily.
MOM! NO!
[heavy breathing]
[attack screams]
[shout of pain] [yelling]
[police radio chatter]
[sombre music]
I don't know how to thank you.
Amy, we turned your
world upside down.
It was only a matter
of time before...
He wasn't gonna stop.
I just, I'm still sorry that
it turned out like this.
If you need anything...
Thank you. I appreciate it.
We'll see you around, Amy.
Take good care of
that girl of yours.
She's a real treasure.
Come on.
- Mom?
- Mm hm?
What are we gonna do?
I don't know, sweetie.
I don't have those
kinds of answers.
But what I do know is
that we've got each other.
Everything else, we'll
just figure it out.
Lily.
Lily?
What?
The next rest stops
in thirty minutes.
Did you want to scrounge up
some lunch there or...
Ah!
[tires screech]
Is everyone okay?
Stay in the car,
sweetheart. Okay?
[deer breathing noisily]
Oh, no.
What happened?
Looks like it's
been here for hours.
Poor thing.
[Lily] Oh, no. Is it okay?
I told you to stay in the car.
I think I've got something
in the trunk I could use.
You're not gonna kill it.
[car door closes]
[Amy] I know, sweetheart.
Sometimes you just have to focus
on the things you can control.
Let it drown
everything else out.
I want you to take your seat
belt and then pull it slowly,
and then clip it in.
[seat belt clicks]
[Amy] Focus on your breathing.
I am safe.
I am present.
I am strong.
[door opens suddenly]
[startled gasp]
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine. I'm fine.
I...
You did what you had to do.
You always do. That's
why we love you.
[pulsating music]
[birdsong]
This just feels right, you know?
It'll feel better
when my bed gets here.
[small chuckle]
You get the winks
and I get the sass?
Hey, you've been
all-time super lawyer
for the last few years.
Mhmm.
So you may not have
noticed all the winks
she gives you too.
She's not a client to win over.
She loves you, and she's
desperate to connect with you.
Give it some time.
I guess.
Thank you for doing this.
I think it's gonna be
really great for us.
Mm?
[laughs]
Mom, what?
Careful.
[Amy] Delivery, Mr. Lawson?
Do you know where my
online lesson plans are?
Yes. Important
documents came with us.
Trunk of the car.
Okay. Okay. Uh,
and my work laptop.
Ah, there it is. [Chuckle]
[sigh]
Sorry, I'm stressing.
Didn't know working from home
could be this stressful.
Everybody. Everybody knows that.
[Nate laughs]
But, but what if the
kids don't like me?
[noisy kiss]
[laughs]
[peaceful music]
[noisy knocking]
[Amy] Hey!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa.
- Take it easy, Ma'am.
- Nate?
It's Amy. Right?
Amy? It's okay, Amy.
My name's Tom. Tom Sullivan.
My wife Rachel and I,
- we live next door.
- Okay.
So we were knocking,
heard you inside,
someone inside, so I thought
I'd come around and...
It's fine.
[Tom] What the?
Nate, it's fine.
This is Tom. He lives next door.
Oh. Well, it's all right then.
Hey, neighbor, I'm Nate.
Casserole. I, my wife,
Rachel, made a casserole,
and I think she's
still at the front.
I think we should go and
see if she's still there.
[Nate] Yeah, come on through.
[Tom] Okay.
[Amy] We've gotta get used
to the isolation out here.
[Rachel] Oh, I know
what you mean.
There are mornings we look
out the back of the woods
and we feel like we're in the
middle of nowhere. [Giggle]
Do you spend much time in town?
Um, no, no, not really.
Not really our speed. Hm?
We're much happier
keeping to ourselves.
Our grandson used
to come up a bit,
but aside from that...
Why don't I get us a drink?
I don't have much to offer,
but I'll see what I can find.
How are the farmers markets?
Couldn't tell you. We grow.
Grow just about everything
we need in here.
Ah, we hear that.
Amy has the startings
of an herb garden,
and I think we're gonna get
vegetables in the ground soon.
I spent all of my time
at a big law firm,
so the plan is to start a
small part-time practice,
just be around a bit more.
So really this is
all of my fault.
Cheers.
That's how it should
be, grow your stuff,
take care of your own backyard.
No one poking around and
interfering with
rules and regulations.
Not a fan of the
government, I take it?
No, sir.
[Tom] So where'd you
all come in from?
This time? Chicago.
[Tom] Whereabouts?
Do you know Olds Town?
Yes, sir.
[Nate] North Lawndale.
That's a big change
from Brooklyn.
Yeah, you're not uh...
How did you know I
was from Brooklyn?
I don't think I have an accent.
[Tom] Oh, did I say Brooklyn?
I didn't...
And before you said my name.
I'm sorry. He does this.
Thomas!
He doesn't mean anything by it.
Doesn't mean anything by what?
What, what is he doing?
Tom served in the
military, and before that,
he was involved in
counterintelligence.
He still does background
checks on people.
On who?
Everyone.
He usually finds an outlet
with true crime podcasts,
online chat groups.
When new folks come to town...
Hey, make sure we're
not drug dealers.
I appreciate that.
So did we uh, pass your test?
Yeah, all good.
A few holes here and there.
[Rachel chuckles]
Why don't we leave these
nice people to themselves?
Sorry again. I mean no offense.
Tell you what, we're hosting
a barbecue on Saturday.
We could use a couple
of true crime stories
to liven things up.
We'd love to come. Thank
you. For... thank you.
[Rachel] We should
really get going now.
It was lovely to meet you.
And we're really looking
forward to finally
having some good
neighbors. Come on, hon.
No, no. We know our way out.
[Rachel chuckles]
You just had to invite them.
I think they're fun.
Looking forward
to good neighbors.
What's wrong with
their other neighbors?
What's wrong with
their old neighbors?
It's fine. Come on,
this is getting cold.
I wanna try this casserole out.
[sizzling]
Hi!
Here.
Thank you, darling.
Mm hm.
Lily, you having fun socializing
with the other kids?
Yeah. Getting on great with
all the other kids my age.
[kids playing]
Hey. They'll uh, need
babysitters one day.
Great. So just another five or
so years of this treatment.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
[Nate] Hm. I didn't
think they'd come.
Okay. I guess we're doing this.
That's the spirit.
And I can trade crypto
just about anywhere.
So we moved out here
after the first boom.
[Tianna] Besides, my crystals
resonate better in the woods.
Absolutely.
Keep it simple.
[Rachel] How are you? Good.
Oh, this is a pretty bracelet.
[Amy] Preppers?
Tom and Rachel.
They're doomsday preppers.
People say that
Tom was a good guy.
He was ex-service
before moving out here
to work in the prison
for a little bit.
But with everything
he's seen out there,
he didn't last long.
[Tianna] What's the
trouble, you know?
You can't escape the
monster inside, right?
It's like he's preparing
for someone to invade.
I worry about him, but I
also worry about Rachel.
It does feel like
she enables him.
[Tianna] I've seen
her roaming the border
of our properties at night.
[Rachel] Your earrings are
great. Who got them for you?
[Lily] My dad.
Will you excuse me?
I think Your dad has a
good taste in jewelry.
[Lily laughs]
What's the occasion?
- Lily.
- Mom.
Your dad would like
some help on the grill.
Hey, remember.
Just people.
Just try to put yourself in
their shoes once in a while.
Got it. Sure, Mom.
I'll give him a hand.
[Amy] What in the
world was that?
[Rachel] Oh, I just gave her
a different version of the
Mom and Dad are people too.
I'm sure it's nothing you
haven't already told her.
[chuckle]
She doesn't listen to me.
Well, why would she?
You're only her mother who
loves her and raises her.
[laugh]
Hey, neighbors.
I got some grub on
the table for you.
Uh, thank you.
But I don't think we'll
stick around for food,
but I appreciate the offer.
No? Dang, I was hoping
to get Tom talking about
some true crime. Between you
and me, all of these people
are about as exciting as
a bowl of plain yogurt.
You know what? My
mama raised me right.
I would never
disagree with my host,
but I think you should
form your own impressions.
Oh, I mean, Rachel, if the
man's interested, I I
Ah bah. Maybe next time.
Sounds good.
Where'd you get that?
[Nate] Serious war wound.
The battlefield? My
university dorm,
the combatants, me against
the camping stove I snuck in.
[chuckles]
Looks Like a bullet wound.
Well, camping stove
was packing heat.
[laughs]
Okay. Thank you. Thank
you. Let's go, dear.
Come on. I think our
other guests are waiting.
And I think that Dylan
guy is sweet on you.
He's married. Oh, and come
to think of it, so am I.
Nice of you to remember.
[Nate] Well, take a look around.
Do you see this place?
[Amy] I see it.
Why don't I handle the cleanup
and you go for a walk in nature?
Are you sure you don't
have to [startled gasp]
- The internet's down again.
- Lily!
Sorry. Can you pretty please
fix the Internet for me,
dearest parents?
I'll tell you what.
Your dad has been hard at work.
How about he takes a breath
and then deals with
your internet issues?
And while he's doing that,
how about you and I
take a look around?
I know you're saying this
like I have a choice,
but I don't, do I.
Mm mm. [Negative]
You sure?
Yeah, it'll be fun.
You know, in my time, nature
was kind of like our internet.
That's not even close
to a working metaphor, Mom.
[Amy] Isn't it?
[peaceful orchestral music]
[Amy] There you go.
Can you balance?
I don't know. You
have to hold my hand.
Oh, that is so gross!
[Amy] I know.
[Lily] It's good luck to
find a single feather.
[Amy] How do you know that?
I googled it.
[Amy] You googled it?
You and your devices.
[muffled conversation]
[Tom] No. See?
This one's collecting
rust in the mechanism.
The guy at the hardware store
said this was stainless steel.
[Rachel] I'll just
give it a vinegar soak,
and then then I'll
wax the parts.
[Tom] And if we
need it before then?
[Rachel] Honey, it'll
take three days.
[Tom] Well, why does
everything always have to take
three, three days?
[metal clacks together]
[shocked gasp]
[Tom] Amy? Amy!
Oh. Okay, Amy?
I'm gonna need you to
stay completely still.
Don't shift your weight.
Don't pull back.
[Amy] I I I
[Tom] No. Don't
shift your weight.
Whoa.
[Rachel] I know
it's scary, honey.
But trust him. Tom
knows what he's doing.
One move, then we're
in a whole other story.
Just hang on. He'll
get you out of it.
Your mom's gonna be fine, honey.
[Rachel] No. No. No. No.
Up here. Eyes on me.
Just be a few more seconds.
Okay? Just a few more seconds.
Right, Tom?
[Tom] Okay.
[Rachel] Okay. You're
good; You're good.
[frightened shouts]
It's all good. It's all good.
You're good. Safe and sound.
What the hell is
wrong with you people?
Ma'am, you stepped
over into our property.
Didn't you pay attention
to the markers?
[Rachel] We're out in
the Middle of nowhere.
There are risks that
go along with that.
What if something
were to go down?
Do you know how long it
would take for the cops
to get out here or an ambulance?
So we have ways of
protecting our property.
- To booby trap the woods.
- No, we just...
What would have happened if
you weren't here just now?
Or or if Lily had
been all on her own?
We would never
[slap] hurt... Amy!
You stay away from my family.
[dramatic orchestral music]
[Amy] Come on, honey;
Don't look back.
Nate? Nate!
[Lily] Dad!
Amy! Lily! Hey. Hey.
Hey. Are you okay?
Amy, what happened?
Our neighbors.
I'm so sorry I
wasn't there for you.
Mom?
Hm?
[Nate] Maybe you should do your
breathing exercises again?
Yeah.
[Lily] I don't understand.
It's... I'm fine,
sweetie, honestly.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
You don't have to hide
these things from me.
I, um... All right.
I know you've seen me get a
bit highly strung sometimes.
Well, when I was in college,
I... It was a man who
wouldn't leave me alone.
[Nate] Stalker.
[Amy] It's a horrible world
out there, and I just...
It's my job to keep you safe.
I'm lucky I have your father.
Oh, don't look so shocked.
You know your mother loves me.
What? Who cares about
that, Dad? And Mom?
How did you never
tell me any of this?
How about we go into the
details of it another time
when I'm less raw?
Oh! I got you ladies a
little moving in present.
Nate! Oh, it's beautiful!
[phone buzzes]
[helicopter whirring]
Mom, Dad, they're saying there
was a prisoner transport crash
up on the hill and
someone got out.
This is messed up.
It's okay. Right?
Of course. We need to stay calm,
lock up and hunker down.
It says the prisoner's
name is Wyatt Harlow,
a convicted murderer with a
history of home invasion.
It's gonna be okay.
For him to find our
house, let alone break in,
is very unlikely.
I don't want to play around.
Can we just go?
Okay. Uh, let's grab
a few things quickly
and then we'll get
outta here, okay?
Yeah.
Nate... I...
Thank you.
[Amy] Oh, no. They
won't let us through.
[Nate] Stay calm and
see what they say.
Is there a problem here, sir?
No. No, sir. Just, uh,
we heard the alert,
and my wife got a bit spooked.
Sir, you realize
that the alert asked
you to remain indoors?
No. I know that. But uh...
Listen, I understand these
events are quite stressful,
but I also need you to
understand that the safest
place for you guys to
be right now is at home.
Uh, yes, sir.
I'm gonna ask you to
turn your vehicle around.
We're on top of this.
Everything will be okay.
Okay. Thank you, officer.
[Amy takes big breath]
It's an enormous area.
He's not coming to our home.
[crickets chirping]
[dog barking]
[movement and breaking glass]
Nate? Nate, wake up.
Nate, I think someone's
trying to break in.
I heard glass break.
[loud banging]
What are you doing?
Hey, you better think
twice about being here
before I get downstairs!
[eerie music]
Nate!
[grunts of pain]
[Nate] Get a knife!
[Amy] Wait, let me help you.
[Nate] [grunt of pain]
Sorry. Okay. It's in
deep, but I'm almost done.
[911] Are you still
there, ma'am?
Yes. Yes, ma'am.
And there's still no
sign of an intruder?
Besides from the broken
glass? Sorry. I'm sorry.
That's fine. It's a
stressful situation.
We've got officers looking
into something else nearby,
but they'll swing by
you as soon as they can.
I know it's hard, but
I'm gonna need you
to hold tight and ride this out.
For now, try and get some rest.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
[knocking on door]
If he broke in the back, he
wouldn't knock at the front.
Okay, both of you stay here.
Whoa, hang on
Mom, I could help.
Both of you sit down.
You just said it
wouldn't be him.
I know what I said, but if you
think I'm just gonna sit here...
Nate! You can't
walk to the door.
How are you supposed to
defend us or yourself?
Just stay here and
protect our daughter.
I'll be right back.
Mom.
It's fine. Help me.
Stay here.
[door squeaks closed]
[dark music]
I am safe. I am present.
I am strong.
[ragged breathing]
We heard something shatter.
Sounded like a window.
Let us in, hon.
[Amy] How did you?
Is everyone okay?
No. Someone tried to break in.
Nate scared him away,
but then he cut his foot
really badly on
the broken glass.
- Where is he?
- He's in our bedroom.
- Lily?
- She's with him.
Tom, two in the master bed.
[Tom] Copy that.
First level, clear.
You've been through quite an
ordeal today, haven't you?
It's okay. We got you now.
Listen, we don't
talk about this,
but we have a secure
space beneath the house.
It's not much, but it's
got everything we'd need.
A couple of rooms,
facilities, food,
and no way for anyone to get in.
That sounds amazing.
[Tom] All clear.
[Amy] Well, if it's all clear,
then we should probably
wait for the police.
[Nate] Amy, you're not gonna be
able to relax if we stay here.
I'll be fine.
Thank you so much, we'd love to.
What? Sorry, I
just need a...
How about I give
you two a moment
to collect your
thoughts? Hm?
We'll wait outside.
[Amy] Yep. Mm hm.
Absolutely not.
Amy, I'm hurt, you're
scared, Lily too.
This isn't something
we take a risk on.
It's just one night.
[Lily] Please, Mom.
[Rachel] Let me just get this.
[metallic clacking
and squeaking]
Come in!
Come in. Come in.
Just get some lights.
[powering up buzz]
This is it.
Our humble abode.
Once Tom gets the hatch shut
[clack] uh, right on cue.
There we are.
Safe as can be. Safer even.
Tom.
This is the kitchen area
and the living room.
It's simple but works for us.
Let's get you sorted in
one of the side rooms.
Once you're settled in,
I'm sure you'll all start
feeling a lot better.
Okay! So why don't I
give you the tour, hm?
This way. Follow me.
Oh, and that's our ventilation
system. Really effective.
This is the bathroom.
There's no lock, so
[knocks on door]
Be sure to knock.
This is our room.
And keep going down the hall.
Bit of a maze just
around the corner here.
This way. Oh, this
is the storeroom.
Please don't go roaming
around in there. Just...
And... here we are.
So! I'll leave you to it then.
If there's anything you need.
Thank you. We really
appreciate it.
Okay. All right. See
you all in the morning?
Get some sleep. Top
bunk. Great choice.
- Good night.
- Good night.
[gentle music]
[door closes]
One night.
[sudden inhale]
[panicked breathing]
Nate?
Lily.
[breathing]
I'm safe.
I am present. I am strong.
Hey, Mom. I wasn't sure how
long you were gonna sleep.
[Amy] A chaotic night.
What time is it?
Nearly ten.
Oh.
How's your foot?
Much better. Rachel changed
my dressing this morning.
Ah! Can I get you
some breakfast?
Oh, no. I can manage.
Nonsense, dear.
You're our guests.
I know my way around a kitchen.
What'll it be?
Here?
Uh, no. Not in there.
Unless you'd like a
warm cup of bleach.
I got this.
Where's Tom?
He's in the War Room.
[Rachel chuckles]
It's actually his office.
He's in there. If you
want to knock on the door
and say good morning.
Thanks.
[knocking]
Good morning, Tom.
Tom?
[startled grunt]
- Morning.
- Morning.
Sorry, I'm trying to
listen for updates
on the police scanner.
Oh, any luck so far?
What?
Any luck?
Uh, not much.
Well, they think he's
gone to ground,
stalking through the woods.
But you don't think so.
You know, this place
used to be so safe,
but they've been cutting down
staff at the jail for years.
You know, this kind of
nonsense can't keep going on.
[radio noise]
[police dispatcher]
[sudden slamming noise]
Sorry, I get frustrated
with red tape is all.
Did you have a WiFi password?
I think we could
all use some updates
and I know Lily is desperate
to check her socials.
No, this bunker
doesn't have WiFi.
Hackers, I never
trusted this stuff.
Aren't you online right now?
That looks like a website.
Uh, no, these are just old
records... no internet here.
Sorry, I gotta get back to work.
Okay.
Thank you.
[dispatcher continues]
[Rachel] Two sixes.
[Amy] Two sevens
[Nate] One eight.
[Tom] Still don't
understand this game.
[Rachel] It's okay, honey.
[Tom] What is this game?
[Rachel] It's "Cheat", dear.
We've played it before.
Lily has a jack, you either
rank up or call her out
if you think she's lying.
[Lily] One jack.
[Tom] I guess one queen.
[Rachel] Whoosh, king.
[Amy] Ace.
[Rachel] Say, Lily,
do you hear that?
[Tom] I swear I hear something.
There it is.
All aboard the too too train!
Dad, that hasn't
been funny for years.
Hasn't been funny?
No, no, no, no, no.
Something doesn't go from
shooting milk out your nose
funny to not funny that quickly.
One three.
Oh. Oh. I know what it is.
[Tom] Okay, two fours.
[Nate] Sorry, Lily.
Thought you need to impress
your neighbors, huh.
Well, I think it's sweet
that she wants us to think
highly of her, which we do.
You raised a wonderful
young lady, Nate.
[Rachel] Five.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Right. I'm out.
[Rachel] Oh.
Can I take a shower, Rachel?
Sure, hon.
Amy.
I'm tired. Okay?
See you in a little bit?
Okay.
Now, Lily, I went to
the pantry earlier
and I got a special
can of something.
Do you know what's in that can?
Is it a can of...
It's a can of butt whooping!
Three eights!
[Rachel] I don't think so.
[Lily] Cheat.
[Nate] No.
[Rachel] I got three
eights right here.
[Nate] [groan]
You're a tricky one, Nate.
[Nate groans]
I told you we should have
worked on the same one.
Not too much longer.
Say, Rachel.
You guys heading home?
Yeah. Not that we
don't appreciate.
Ah, it's all good.
Easy for us to lose track
of time around here.
Why don't you grab your things?
Tom will walk you back.
[blender hums]
How about I grab our
things and you... two?
Okay. Why don't I grab our
things, and you find Lily?
Yep.
[blender hums]
[Amy] [urgent whisper]
Lily! What on earth?
I didn't do anything.
I was just...
We are guests here.
You were told not
to snoop around.
Look, I get it. They seem nice,
but the guns and the traps.
And those photos of
us and the neighbours?
We don't wanna
push these people.
I was just...
We are leaving, and
I want you to go
and help your dad
pack our stuff, okay?
Tom, what are you
doing? [Muttering]
I told them you'd
take them back.
I'm taking them back?
That's what I said.
I'm I'm sure they can...
All right? So what
are you doing now?
Well, I'm just grabbing a few
things before we head out...
Okay. Well, don't take all day.
I'll try not to, uh...
[softly] Thanks for
micromanaging me.
[intriguing music]
[cartridge clicks]
[light clicks off]
[door closes]
[birds chirping]
[Nate] Who'd have thought
half a day underground
would make you miss
the sun so much.
[Rachel] I'm just gonna
go check the perimeter.
We set some traps last night
when that police
chopper went by.
You guys be safe.
Any other worries?
Give us a holler. All right?
[Nate] Thanks, Rachel.
[Amy] Well, the police
came while we were gone.
They left a note saying
they found no evidence
of an intruder.
Ha! I guess they think we
broke the pot ourselves.
But they didn't find any
sign they've been here.
It's good news.
Yeah.
I have an idea.
Why don't I make us all
a snack? Hm? Yes? Yes?
All right!
Mom, you good?
No, sweetie. I mean, yes. Um...
I think... I think I need
to go burn off some energy.
Do want to go for a walk?
No. Sounds like a terrible idea.
Okay.
[Nate] Don't go too far, hon.
[Amy] I won't.
I am safe.
I am present.
I am strong.
Hello?
Hello?
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
[knocking]
Is anyone home?
Hello?
[splat]
[horrified screams]
Amy. Amy!
[quick breaths]
Good.
I'm here. Breathe in.
In ...out.
Good.
We don't have time.
Nate and Lily are
heading to the bunker.
I just sent Rachel
to go get them.
Can you walk?
Yeah, I just...
those poor people...
On me! On me. Focus. Focus.
Breathe in.
[inhale]
Out.
In. Out. Good.
We have to go now.
[sobbing]
Amy.
Hey, hey, hey.
What happened?
Are you okay? Where did you go?
It was bad.
I need to go let
the police know.
I'm sure they'll
extend the lockdown.
Better get comfortable.
Mom, are you okay,
you're shaking.
[Amy] I'm fine, sweetie.
You're not fine.
You're pale and
you've been crying.
I said I'm fine.
Sorry. I just...
We're together. We're safe.
It's okay. I just um...
I can't talk about
it right now, okay?
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
You okay, honey?
[knocking]
Nate. Are you awake?
[Tom] Oh, come on.
Come on. You know
better than that.
No.
The other case. The other case.
Okay. Okay, you're right.
Okay. I should, I
should check on that.
[whispering] Check
that. Check that.
Nothing about the
lockdown being extended.
Internet.
Yesterday.
Oh my God. The
neighbours' house.
[knock]
Who was there earlier?
Nothing. Did he
delete the video?
Debrief after covert
elimination
clandestine direct action.
How many people has Tom killed?
Meticulous planning.
Does he think he's still at war?
[clatter]
Tom?
[startled shriek]
You scared me.
I... I just um...
What are you doing?
I um, I couldn't sleep.
And then I came out here
and um, and then I saw
your your light was on,
your computer light.
So then I went into the office,
but then you weren't
there and I just...
It's fine. Just relax.
I thought I heard
something up top,
so I went to check it out.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just, um, I saw the
map on the wall again,
and well, I couldn't
help but notice.
It's just a map of the area.
[Amy] Right.
With everyone's
names and details.
It's just my training.
That part of me can't relax
unless I've got all elements
written down somewhere.
Right.
And the code?
It's an old service
code. It's shorthand.
It's uh, figuring out who
could do what in an emergency.
Who you can rely on.
Who could fight?
Sure.
Who couldn't fight back?
I don't hurt people.
Look, I've seen some things
and I've done plenty.
It's a job that's
left a mark on me.
How about you try
to get some rest?
Good idea.
Tom, what was the
noise that you heard?
Deer. There's a family nearby.
And uh, sometimes they
get near the air filters
if I don't shoo them away.
Deer. Makes sense.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
[metal door closes]
[Nate] What are you doing?
[gasp] Oh! Nate.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Why are you sneaking
around in the storeroom?
What's gotten into you?
There's something
off here, all right?
And I know you can't see
it because you're too busy
being bumbling mister
lovable, but I see it.
They are social hermits,
and they invite us
into their bunker.
And they heard our
window shattering
all the way across the field?
Tom just happens
to be at the house
when I find those two bodies?
That there's a bloody teddy
bear hidden in the storeroom.
And on top of all of that,
Tom is a special
forces trained killer.
Amy, I'm not an idiot.
There must be an
explanation for this
without indulging
in conspiracies.
I mean...
They're trying to keep
us and our daughter safe.
Our daughter?
Do you see how they look at her?
What if?
What if that's
what's going on here?
What if they're trying
to take her away from us?
You're being irrational.
No, I'm not.
No, no, you just don't see
what's in front of you.
Don't insult me, okay?
I hate when you do that.
But, God, I've done all this
work to overcome your paranoia
and now we're back
at square one.
How dare you throw
that in my face?
Yeah, fine. You're
right. You're right.
I'm just a bumbling fool who
can't see the grand conspiracy
right in front of his dumb face.
Nate, that's not
what I'm saying.
No.
Let's pick this up later.
[metallic slam]
It's okay, hon.
Good to get these things
out in a marriage, right?
What? No.
No, uh, this isn't
normal for us.
Just the stress of
being trapped down here.
[sigh]
We never fight.
Really?
Oh, hon.
My mama used to say, if
you love him, it's a fling.
If you still like him after
you've wanted to strangle him,
that's marriage.
[exhale laugh]
So go on.
Hug him or strangle him.
See which one
feels more natural.
Thank you.
Anytime.
[soft knock]
Hey, Mister.
Do you have room for
one more in there?
Only if you don't mind sharing
it with Bumbling Mr.Lovable.
I'm sorry I called you that.
I'm sorry, too.
You're completely right.
You've been through so much.
I shouldn't have
brought up the past.
It was wrong.
I've just been trying so
hard to keep everyone calm
and stay upbeat for Lily.
All of this.
Hey.
Just tell me everything's
gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Lily will be fine.
If she's half as
strong as her mother.
We don't have to worry
about her at all.
Plus they're like, what, 90?
I'm pretty sure
Lily could take 'em.
[chuckle]
You know, that thing
doesn't work down here.
You don't have to hold
on to it for dear life.
Look.
I know that you're not my
biggest fan these days,
but if we could just...
Oh, honey.
Honey, what's wrong?
What happened?
Are you and dad
gonna get a divorce?
What? No. No, why
would you think...?
It's just Rachel and Tom are
talking about you fighting.
Oh, honey.
We almost never fight, do we?
It hasn't been a
normal week, has it?
We're all feeling
the strain, huh?
I hate it down here.
It was fun at first, but I
feel like I can't breathe.
I get that.
How long do we
have to stay here?
I don't know.
But maybe the police
have caught the guy.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's possible.
But...
Nothing.
I will tell you what.
I will push for some
updates over dinner.
And if Tom isn't helpful,
I will take things
into my own hands.
Let me help.
No, Lily.
I don't want to
be stuck in here,
and I'm not just gonna sit
around and be useless.
What do you need?
I need a few minutes
alone in Tom's office.
How about we create
a little diversion?
I can give you that.
Okay.
[door opens and closes]
[tense music]
[Rachel] OK, here we
go. Another night,
another meal to be thankful for.
Some bread. And sour
cream. All right.
Go on then. Have at it.
Thank you, Rachel for
being so accommodating.
We hate being such a
drain on your resources.
[Rachel] Oh, nonsense.
It's our pleasure.
Right, Tom?
Uh... absolutely.
Tom, have you heard
anything on the radio?
Nope.
Nothing from the police?
No. No, nothing.
Huh.
Nothing new about
what's happened?
[Tom] No.
Hm. Here, Tom. Let me.
No. No, it's okay.
I can... I can...
No, no. I insist.
[shrieks]
[cries of pain throughout]
I'm so sorry. I hit
the bowl by accident
and it just shattered...
I'll get a dishtowel.
[Rachel] Oh my goodness. Okay.
[Tom] Never mind. Never mind.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
[Rachel] Don't worry about it.
Oh, here. I'm such a klutz.
[Rachel] It's all right.
These things happen.
Mom?
Yes, sweetie.
I don't...
Oh! Oh, sweetheart.
Go with Rachel, honey.
So take it easy.
[sigh]
Thank you for all
your help with Lily.
Oh, no problem.
Lots of commotion for one
meal, wouldn't you say?
[Amy] Mhmm.
[Amy] I'm gonna have
to keep an eye on her.
A few years back,
she got really ill
and had to spend some
time in the hospital.
If things get worse...
We've got lots of medical
supplies down here, hon.
Don't you worry.
This isn't the kind of thing
medical supplies can help.
How you doing, sweetheart?
Lily Bug?
Why don't you go
take a shower, okay?
What the hell was that?
I don't know what you mean.
Did I do okay?
You did so good. Are you okay?
How are you feeling?
Fine.
Yeah?
Can we go home soon?
We will be in our own
beds by tomorrow night,
no matter what.
I'm proud of you.
What the hell was that?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Don't talk to me
like I'm stupid.
Rachel was just asking me about
Lily's time in the
hospital as a kid.
Why would you make that up?
Nate, listen to me.
After you and I talked,
I talked to Lily
and she had a
breakdown and I just...
You comforted her.
Yeah, of course.
I comforted her,
but it reminded me
that Tom did nothing
about that poor couple.
He called the police.
He said he called the police,
but he's the only
one with the radio.
We we don't know
if he actually did.
Amy, come on.
No, Nate. You come
on. This is not okay.
I am trying to
protect our family!
By sending us outside with a
known killer on the loose?
By getting us out of here!
These people are dangerous!
Amy, they've let
us in and fed us.
This is getting out of hand.
I'm gonna go talk to Lily when
she gets out of the shower.
And I want you to
go and apologize
to those poor people.
Nate, please.
Amy, I'm serious.
Like, I can't deal with
your paranoia again.
Fine.
[sigh]
Why aren't you listening
to me? I told you.
But I already told you. I
told you what was going on.
Oh. You're questioning me.
Why are you questioning me?
I should be questioning you.
No. No. But no. It's
all clear so far.
But still, you need
to get here faster
because they're getting twitchy.
I think they suspect something.
Well, I'm trying.
Listen, if you don't
get here by tomorrow,
I'm gonna have to do something
more drastic. All right?
Thank you.
All right.
I'll check in soon.
Whoa!
Where were you racing off to?
You surprised me.
I I just need to talk to Nate.
You seem on edge. Let
me make you a cuppa tea.
No. It's okay. Thank you.
Oh, nonsense. You
need some me time.
Nate was really upset about
what happened at dinner.
I was gonna help you clean.
Oh, don't you worry about that.
Got it all in hand.
Lily doing okay?
I worry about her.
Down here, in general.
I guess you never stop
worrying as a mother, do you?
Is it any different
as a grandmother?
No.
But you have less control.
You're older, slower.
When things go wrong.
Something went wrong?
With your grandson?
Is he okay?
Did it happen down here?
Excuse me, I just...
I need a minute.
Well, isn't there
always something!
[Announcer] Police officials
made a statement today
saying they are no closer to
understanding how he escaped,
[Tom] Shoot!
But now that convicted
murderer Wyatt Harlow
has been recaptured
by federal marshals...
It is said that an
investigation into
prisoner transfer practices
will be opened in the state.
[Tom] Rach, you in here?
[Tom] Nate, Amy.
[Tom whispered] Lucky.
[door opens and closes]
[clicks into place]
[door slams]
Mom? What's going on?
- Lily?
- Dad said...
Honey, I know that I've
kept you at a distance,
and I am so sorry for that.
But I was just trying
to protect you,
and I need to be honest
with you right now.
You're in danger. Okay?
So I need you to
grab your stuff.
Mom, you're scaring
me. Where's Dad?
Oh no, honey. It's okay.
Your dad?
He doesn't know that
they're lying to us,
but we're gonna get your stuff.
And we're gonna get
the hell out of here.
It's okay. It's okay.
You're stronger than
you think. Let's go.
Stay close to me.
[Nate] Well, you know. I just
never really had the urge
for anything else.
And you just love math.
Mm hm.
Most people barely pass it,
let alone wanna teach it.
[Nate] I guess. What
about you, though?
Big military career,
then retired,
and got a hobby out of it.
I don't catch your drift.
I mean, you saw
active duty, right?
Probably took out a few
bad guys in your day.
And then when you retired,
you spend your time
learning about killers.
Don't compare me to them.
No, no, no.
I wouldn't. Of course not.
But you're telling me
you're not a little excited
about being in the
line of fire again?
If you think I'm enjoying
any part of this...
[Rachel] Tom! Hon.
Time for a breather.
What did I say?
He just needs a moment, okay?
[Nate] It's your bunker.
Take all the time
you need, big guy.
Okay, that's enough out of you!
[gun clicking]
[Amy] That's enough.
I told you, Nate.
I told you he was dangerous.
[Rachel] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Just hang on a minute there.
No, don't think I will.
Amy, what's going on?
I tried to tell you Nate,
but you wouldn't listen.
And then you sent
me to apologize
for trying to keep
our daughter safe.
Tom, I heard you on the radio.
You couldn't wait till tonight.
You saw them at
dinner. That stunt.
[Amy] You lied to
us about the police.
About the radio.
They caught the
killer yesterday.
Amy, I don't think
you understand
what's going on here.
You're right. I don't.
I don't understand
why you're doing this.
But I am not going
to sit here hostage.
I'm taking my family
and we are going home.
Amy, you gotta listen to me.
I've been looking into you guys
since before you moved in,
but it took me a while to
get all the information.
Too long considering what
happened to that poor coup...
Stop moving!
Agh!
[shout]
[cry of pain]
I'm sorry.
[grunt]
I really do want to talk,
but it seems like you might
need some time out first.
[Nate] Nah, we'll pass.
[shouts]
I like Amy's plan better.
Amy, no, please.
You're not safe with him.
- What?
[Nate] That's insane. What
are you talking about?
The police are on their way.
Of all the deranged...
[Tom] It's true! He's
dangerous. None of us are safe.
Go ahead.
Go ahead. Prove me right.
You lived in Brooklyn,
then you moved to Old Town.
I was the one who broke
into your house that night.
I got a little careless, but
I was looking for evidence.
One of my contacts dug
up Nate's service record.
What service record?
Your husband did one tour.
Nathaniel Lawson,
you served in 07.
You were in the Surge into Iraq.
You don't talk about it much.
Do you?
You got a bullet to the arm,
and that scar, that scar,
that set me off because
I've seen plenty of
those in my time.
And it wasn't hard to track
you after that because
universities always
advertise their staff.
And everywhere you went,
there were murders.
Amy, I'm sorry I
ever doubted you.
These people are crazy.
That's correlation,
not causation.
Come on, Amy. You were
a big city lawyer.
Why don't you take a step
back and look at the facts?
You've just said
a bunch of things.
You've not actually
given any evidence.
[Tom] This killer takes
mementos from his victims.
You get a lot of jewelry?
[Nate] Yeah. Just
keep talking, old man.
My family and I, we're gonna
grab our things and leave.
And if you're very lucky,
we won't find a way
to lock this place
from the outside.
And you had a stalker before
you met him, didn't you?
And that stalker died just
after meeting him, didn't he?
[Nate] Stop talking to my wife.
[Tom] He's always been
protective of you, hasn't he?
I said stop.
The police said that this
stalker was beaten to death
savagely, that it was
a personal killing.
I said stop it right now!
Nate?
Nate.
Why aren't you looking at me?
I... I love you.
All right? I love you.
Can we, can we please go now?
You kill people?
You uh, you were
so scared of him.
I protected you.
You said you loved me forever.
Yeah. It's fine.
It's fine because
you fixed everything.
You and Lily ground me.
Yeah. Yeah, everything
was perfect.
It was so perfect
being out here.
We're so far away from
temptation until these two.
Did you kill the neighbors?
He looked at you.
Babe, don't look
at me like that.
Okay? Just...
Just give me five minutes
alone with these two.
Don't look at me like that.
Mom?
I don't understand.
[Nate] Lily?
Dad!
Hey, sweetie.
We're just uh, just
leaving now. Okay?
Come here, Lily. Go to the door.
[Amy] Nate, think about this.
[Nate] All of you need
to stop disrespecting me.
Uh uh! Put that down.
Don't be stupid.
Nate.
Nate. Please.
Please. Please. Please.
Let her go. Please.
Lily still loves me.
The rest of you can rot here.
Tom!
[gunshot / shout]
[Amy] No!
[door slams]
No!
No, no! [Sobbing]
[Rachel] There's
no time for this.
Get up. Off your knees.
With me.
I need you to unlock
the back door.
[Amy] The back door?
Back at the storeroom, there's
a door. Unlock it quickly.
No, I should be the one
that goes out there.
No. No! You're injured and slow.
And she's my daughter.
[Rachel] Just past the tree
line, there are about 10 traps.
Got it?
Be careful.
This exit will get you out on
the other side of the house.
If you hurry, you might
be able to cut them off.
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
[Rachel] [grunt] Okay.
I am safe. I am
present. I am strong.
Yes you are!
Okay, honey. Let's
get you cleaned up.
Dad, what are you doing?
Dad! Let go! [Scream]
Don't scream. You're
strong, you're strong.
Come on, honey. Come on,
sweetie. Come on, sweetie.
[crying]
Going on a little road trip.
Go on in the car.
Lily, get down!
[multiple gunshots]
Come on, Amy.
Don't damage the car.
I don't wanna shoot you.
And we both know you're
not gonna shoot me.
[gunshot]
Lily, stay down.
[gunshots]
[gunshots]
Lily?
Baby? Baby, baby, baby!
Are you okay? Did he hurt you?
I don't understand.
If he gets away, we're
never gonna be safe, okay?
So I need you to go
back to the bunker.
No.
Yes, Tom and Rachel are
gonna take care of you
until I get back, okay?
I need you to go.
Go! Stay safe!
[tense music]
[panting]
[gunshot] [shout]
All right.
How many, Nate?
How many people did you kill?
This isn't about love, Nate.
You murdered innocent people.
[Nate] None of
them were innocent.
[gunshot]
[Nate] That was
actually pretty close.
[gunshot]
[whimpers]
We'll start again. Okay?
You and me.
We'll recoup, start fresh.
New small town and
uh, no nosy neighbors.
And I'll stop doing it. Okay?
[Amy] Get off me!
Okay. I'll stop ...for you.
Okay?
And you'll love me because
I know you still do.
I know it. I know you still do.
I know you do!
[shouts]
Let me go!
Why are you doing this to us?
You're ruining our family.
[choking]
I'm sorry.
[gasping for breath]
I'll always love you.
And I'll never speak
bad of you to Lily.
MOM! NO!
[heavy breathing]
[attack screams]
[shout of pain] [yelling]
[police radio chatter]
[sombre music]
I don't know how to thank you.
Amy, we turned your
world upside down.
It was only a matter
of time before...
He wasn't gonna stop.
I just, I'm still sorry that
it turned out like this.
If you need anything...
Thank you. I appreciate it.
We'll see you around, Amy.
Take good care of
that girl of yours.
She's a real treasure.
Come on.
- Mom?
- Mm hm?
What are we gonna do?
I don't know, sweetie.
I don't have those
kinds of answers.
But what I do know is
that we've got each other.
Everything else, we'll
just figure it out.
