( MAN BREATHING HEAVILY )
[ALEX] No... no, no. No, no.
[JACK] Alex, go back inside.
[ALEX] You had to have seen it. You tell me what happened!
[ALEX] What happened?
[CLAlRE] Get down off her! Jack!
[JACK] Alex, come on, man, let her-- get off--
Tell me!
[CLAlRE] Alex, stop!
Tell me! I will choke the life out of you! I swear to god!
You saw it. Tell me what happened! Tell me!
( "ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH" BY JOHN DENVER PLAYING )
? He was born in the summer of his 27th year ?
? Coming home to a place he'd never been before ?
? He left yesterday behind him ?
? You might say he was born again ?
? You might say he found a key for every door ?
? When he first came to the mountains ?
? His Iife was far away ?
? On the road and hanging by a song ?
? But the string's already broken ?
? And he doesn't really care ?
? It keeps changing fast And it don't Iast for Iong ?
? But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high ?
? I've seen it raining fire In the sky ?
? You can talk to God and Listen to the casual reply ?
? Rocky Mountain high Colorado ?
? Rocky Mountain high ?
( MUSIC CHANGES )
Hey. Dear god, thank you.
Babe, you can't justturn off Denver. That's not okay.
Not everybody has your love for "Rocky Mountain High," baby.
You know what? The man was a genius.
All right, he was a genius, and I don't-- I don't understand it.
I don't understand why you're not backing me up right now.
I think it's appropriate forthe environment.
It's the best music to ever grace God's green earth.
Thank you.
Did that hurt? Was that hard? Did you hear that.
She likes him, okay?
No, no, no, she doesn't. Yes, she does.
No, she's saying that, because she doesn't want to hurt yourfeelings...
and my sister is weak.
The needles been on empty for the last ten miles.
Okay, there's usually plenty of gas in the tankwhen the needles on empty.
Yeah, I'm well aware of the relationship between the gas tank and the needle.
I've actually driven a car before.
However, eventually, when the needles on empty long enough, it really means it.
Are we there yet?
Not yet, baby, why don't you justtry to stay still.
I'm sorry I got sick.
It's okay, honey...
just warn us again if you feel like you need to throw up.
( MUSIC FADES UP )
I will pay to have your car cleaned.
? We didn't know how good we had it then ?
Seriously, how far are we?
We're coming up on it soon. I told you it was out of the way.
Chip me.
Thank you.
You fill it back in Preston, you'll have just enough gas...
to make it up to the resort.
There's only one road in and nothing else for miles.
You'll love it, though, it's so worth the trip.
You know, I'm just--
college is kicking my ass.
I need to decompress a little bit.
When Charlotte asked me if I wanted to come out to the woods this weekend...
I was like, "Oh, Jesus, no, thank you," you know?
But then I remembered that I had this pine cone once.
That was pretty cool.
Am I the only one that's noticed...
that nobody's driven the opposite direction?
It's off-season, it's notthat surprising.
[LUCAS] Hey, can you pass me that bottle?
Sure, why?
I gotta pee.
I said I can pull the car over.
No, no, no, no, no need.
It's a great thing about being a guy.
We can piss in a bottle. Don't.
Oh, my god, are you peeing right now? Don't.
Dude, do not piss in my car. Oh, sick.
[LUCAS] I-- I've started now, I've started, I can't stop.
Once you pop the cork, it's a chain reaction.
What's done cannot be undone.
[JACK] Oh, Jesus, oh. Oh, my god, I'm gonna kill you.
Why is there no sound?
I bank it off the side, I'm like a ninja.
( GIGGLES )
Hey, you guys should know, this is like my third bottle.
Oh, my god, I ate a chip you handed me!
You're a dead man!
You know, you people are all violent.
How did I get stuck in the violent car?
Because the car with the single ladies in it wouldn't take you.
They said you had a B.O. issue.
They did not.
( GlGGLlNG )
Did they?
( MUSIC FADES UP )
? When paying the rent was a miracle ?
So both Alex and Lucas are pretty cute.
Should we have a single lady Rochambeau?
No, no, I'm not-- not really up here for that.
I just really need some peace and quiet.
I have a lot of reading to do to, you know, finish my thesis.
Oh, Claire's old.
? I used to have I used to have your ?
What's the connect to that Claire chick?
She's Tracy's old friend.
Oh, ho-ho... it's a possibility.
Yeah, maybe not, no.
So did you hear that Ella is coming up for the weekend, too?
Yes, I did. That's not awkward.
Eh, come on, her and Jack get along fine.
You wouldn't even know they broke up.
She's bringing her new boyfriend.
Fun.
Seriously, dude, we're not gonna make this.
Look, I told you to relax, here we are.
Yay!
( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING )
Wow.
Told you. Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah, it's amazing.
Dude, I was sweatin' it the last few miles.
Riding on fumes over here.
Why, it's not a hybrid?
Hey, hey, hey. Ssh-sh, she'll hear you.
Do you think Ella got here before us?
Isn't that her car?
What you got there?
Oh, uh, apple juice.
( EERIE MUSIC PLAYING )
Ella?
Ella, honey.
[JACK] Ella?
( SCREAMlNG )
Oh, god! Damn it.
Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry. Oh! Oh!
And that's what happens when you invite the ex to a weekend outing.
Are you okay?
Oh, is she okay?
I was just asleep and then he kind of scared the crap out of me.
[JACK] Oh, man. Well, how long have you guys been here?
Uh, I don't know, I fell asleep back in Preston.
Man, it's hot out here. [JACK] That's fantastic.
I'm sorry, did I fall in front of you. Don't mind me.
[TRACY] Aw, come on, she didn't hit you that bad.
[JACK] Oh, really? Oh, man!
Everything okay out here?
Oh, yeah, well, some swollen balls, but other than that, we're hunky-dory.
[TRACY] Come here. [JACK] I think I taste copper.
What?
You must be Noah.
Good to meet you. Tracy.
That must make you Jack.
Yeah, it must.
When did you guys get here?
Uh, just a couple of minutes ago.
I went inside, but I couldn't find anyone to check in with, so...
That's odd.
I need a bathroom.
Sorry. The girls are gonna huntfor a bathroom, Charlotte, are you in?
Totally. I need to clean up... sorry.
It's... fine.
She's young.
Shut-up.
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
( DOOR CLOSES )
Hello?
Anyone there?
That's weird, what time is it?
2:30.
Hello?
Hey!
Hey, cutie.
Let me see my bear.
( CHUCKLES )
There!
Oh, thank god!
( MUSIC CONTINUES )
Hello.
Is there anyone there?
Okay, there's no credit card slot. I guess we're on the honor system.
Man, these things are ancient.
And broken apparently.
All right, I'm gonna check the other one.
Uh, actually, I don't thinkthat'sthe problem.
Oh, yeah?
Old gas pumps have a key thatturnsthem on, there at the base.
The key forthese pumps is missing.
How come you didn't knowthat?
How come you're so ugly? Hmm.
My grandfather owned a gas station.
Well, color me impressed.
So I guess we need to find a key, then? Alex.
Noah, nice to meet you.
Dumb one is Sam.
A least I can get smarter. No.
Weird.
Yeah.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
Hello?
( OMINOUS MUSIC FADES UP )
Oh! Oh!
Oh, my god. Whoa.
Jumpy much?
Christ, you scared the shit out of me.
Sorry.
Now we're even.
Yeah, thank you.
So, I take it you couldn't find anyone to check in with.
No, no, I didn't.
That's weird.
Yeah.
So, does Jack know?
Does Jack know what?
Does Jack know?
God, what are you psychic?
No, I'm a year away from being a registered nurse.
And I'm a little psychic.
No, I haven't told him yet, been waiting for the right time.
Figured maybe this weekend.
He'll make a great dad.
Well, hope he thinks so.
Hey, guys, some dumb chick let her make-up on the sink in there.
Think it was the good shit, too.
Where is everybody?
I don't think I ever realized just how quiet the outdoors is.
I guess.
I like it.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )
Are you gonna park your car or are you just gonna leave it at the pump?
Oh, no, I'm not moving my baby until I get some gas in her.
She's so bone-dry, I don't think I could even turn the engine over.
You won't be the first person today with thatthought.
They let their keys in the car.
Well, they'll probably be back then.
No, the engine was still running...
tank's empty and the battery's dead.
That's weird.
Yeah, that kind of seems to be the catch word of the day.
( DOOR OPENS )
Y'all checked in?
Not really, no.
Oh, do you need our credit cards, or--
[TRACY] There's no one there.
What do you mean there's no one there?
She means there's no one in the lodge.
( SCOFFS )
Did you check the whole place?
Well, we didn't go into every room, but...
there's no one in the lobby, or the dining room or the bathrooms.
Yeah, and we called out like 100 times.
There was nobody in there.
I told you.
Maybe they all went out on a group hike... or something.
And let no one behind.
There's a woman's purse in there.
I mean, women don't just leave their purses to go on a hike.
There's gotta be an explanation for it.
Well, they knew we were coming, right?
Yeah, I made a reservation.
But it was over the internet.
That's not the strangest part of it.
There's food set out... on the table in the dining room and it's all cold.
Looks like people were right in the middle of a meal or something.
O-kay... a little freaked out now.
Where's Charlotte?
Oh, um, she's still in the bathroom, she's-- she's not feeling too hot.
I'm gonna go check on her.
Guys, what do you say we try and stay calm?
( SCOFFS )
There's gotta be a logical explanation for this, right?
Maybe there was a fire at one of the cabins, or there was an emergency...
and everyone went to help. Something along those lines.
Somebody could have gotten hurt, and they called an ambulance---
I don't know, maybe-- maybe a bunch of people followed the ambulance...
into town and the rest are here at the accident site.
Yeah, we didn't see any emergency vehicles on the way up.
No, but they could have been coming from the opposite direction.
There's a town at both ends, maybe that one's closer than Preston.
Yeah, it all makes sense.
I'm just saying, let's take our time and really look around before we jump to conclusions.
That's all.
I'll, um-- I'll check out the lake.
Yeah, I'll go with you.
Okay.
You guys want to check out the cabins that way, and Tracy and I will check these out...
and then we'll meet in the middle.
All right.
Ella and I will stay here just in case someone comes back tothe lodge.
Perfect. Anybody have cell service?
No.
I don't. I let mine at home.
I don't even own a phone.
That's normal.
Uh, okay, um... if you find somebody, yell.
All right? Hopefully sound travels. Yeah?
Okay-dokey, then.
See you soon.
( OMINOUS MUSIC FADES UP )
[LUCAS] See ya'.
Baby? Charlotte?
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
Sam. Agh!
( THUD )
Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
God, I think I just lost a year of my life.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Charlotte, where were you?
I went to find some more paper towels. I threw up again.
Why didn't you just throw up in the toilet?
Because I was sitting on the toilet.
That's what the stuff on the floor is.
What did you think it was?
I d-- I don't want to tell you.
What?
I don't want to tell you.
Whatthe hell did you think it was?
I thought that maybe you melted or something.
I don't know, okay, look, I'm sorry.
My imagination is getting the better of me.
Oh, I see.
I wasn't in the bathroom, so you assumed I had melted.
Can we not talk about this?
Okay.
You didn't already take those mushrooms we brought, did you?
No, no, I did not. Because you shouldn't take them without food.
Can we drop it? Hm?
I'll never mention it again.
You're not allowed to watch The Wizard of Oz anymore.
You are very funny.
Can I help?
Yeah, can you go to the kitchen and see if you can find some actual cleaning supplies?
Yeah, where would I look for 'em?
Under the sink, maybe?
( GAS HlSSlNG )
( BURNER CLlCKlNG )
Hello?
It's always been a really nice place.
I mean, it's remote, butthat's part of the charm.
Hello.
Anybody hurt? We're here to help.
( FAUCET RUNNlNG )
Hello?
[LUCAS] Hello?
Well, this place is just as empty as the othertwo.
Well, not completely.
There was a fire here recently.
We should check the bedroom.
Yeah, they're gonna be pissed if we walk in on a nooner.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
Well, somebody is staying here.
Hello?
We're not here to rob you, we just want to know if you're still alive.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a serial killer.
What?
I'm sorry, what should I say to bring someone out of hiding?
We have candy.
Free pony rides!
Amelia, stop taking your clothes off.
Okay, yeah, that'll work.
Anything?
Just a tub full of water.
Well, it doesn't look used.
How can you tell?
No ring, no sud scum... no people juice.
Ew.
I'm just saying, I don't think anyone's been in that water.
Well, why would someone draw a bath and never use it?
I don't know.
I mostly take showers.
Oh, my god.
( MUSIC FADES UP )
It's freezing.
It's impossible.
It's way too late in the season for the lake to be encased in ice.
What could cause this?
I don't know. I mean, the temperature back at the lodge, it was warm.
Here it's--
You know what?
I think we're all alone up here.
Yeah.
( EERIE MUSIC PLAYING )
Jack... come here.
Yeah.
What?
Baby, what happened here?
Is that a boat?
Where?
There, near-- near the center of the lake.
Can't tell.
It looks like it, but I can't see if there's anyone in th-- you have binoculars.
Yeah, l, uh, thought I could get in some bird watching.
Huh. Yeah.
[ALEX] Anything?
There's a fishing pole, but there's nofishermen.
God, I mean, the ice must have come up so fast, ittrapped the boat.
Like an ice age?
That's justfucking great.
Oh, my god.
What is it?
There are no birds.
What?
That's why it's been so quiet here.
I mean, it's been bothering me since we got here.
There are no birds.
( SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING )
You know, l, uh-- I haven't seen any bugs, either.
Well, that's not that unusual.
Insects usually, over winter, as pupae.
The pupae, that's what--
Yeah, larvae, they can be found under rocks or just within the topsoil.
Okay, that, um--
It should just take a little digging.
You should be able to see... something.
I don't see any bugs.
Yeah, me-- me, neither.
There's nothing... there's no insects.
There are no animals here...
at all.
[NOAH] Anything?
Nothing good.
What does that mean?
[JACK] Find anybody?
No, found some people stuff in the cabins, but no people.
What does he mean, nothing good?
Okay, look, we looked all through the main lodge...
and looked like the owners live here, but there is nobody around.
We didn'tfind anybody, either.
We, uh, we did find some... things.
Like what?
We're getting the fuck out of here!
Really?
Everybody's getting in their car and we're getting out of here.
Did you find someone?
Are they dead?
No, nothing like that.
Dude, there's no animals.
There are no animals, no birds...
not even a fucking fly, no pupae.
It's time to bust out of Dodge, man.
That's why it's been so quiet.
Alex, Alex, come on, man, where are you gonna go?
Um, anywhere but here?
You have no gas, your car's on fumes.
Well, then I'm gonna fucking find out how far fumes will get me.
Because I'm not spending any more time in this bad fucking Twilight Zone...
camp blood deathtrap of a weekend getaway!
Nowfuck off!
Please, baby, please, baby, please, baby?
( ENGlNE STARTS )
Oh-ho-ho!
Goodbye.
( ENGlNE SPUTTERlNG )
Come on! Goddamn it!
So, I guess that's howfar fumes will take ya'.
What, you think this is funny, motherfucker? It'sfucking funny?
Hey, hey, come on, come on.
All right, all right, all right, everybody is freaked out enough.
Okay, I'm on edge, let it go. And you can cut the shit.
Okay, sorry.
All right, so we just need to figure this shit out, okay?
Now, Claire, you have the most fuel-efficient car. How much gas do you have let?
Maybe an eighth of a tank, but it's small, it could fit fourtops.
I'll ride in the fucking trunk. Okay, all right.
Jack?
It's on empty, I have two gallons, that's 40 miles tops.
Hey, what about-- what about getting in the gas pump?
We could-- we could break into that, we could pull that shit up with buckets or something.
Crap, I don't know.
The pump don't work like that.
The gas is in a tank under the ground, under the concrete.
Without the pump's pulling it up, it's inaccessible.
Fuck!
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, however, we could take the gas from all the cars, put it in one tank, all right?
It might not be much, but it might be enough to get us away from here.
You mean, like siphon the gas? Yes, from our four cars and five or six that are sitting here.
Well, could everyone fit into Jack's car?
If the girls sit on the guys' laps, maybe.
Okay, so it'll be uncomfortable. I don't think we should go anywhere.
What? Are you f--
I don't think it's a good idea.
Are you fucking kidding me? We have no idea what's going on.
How do we know that whatever happened here hasn't already passed through?
Ah, I'll take that risk.
Well, maybe I'm not willing to take that risk, Alex.
Look, look, Jack, the animals all decided that whatever happened here...
was bad, and they decided to leave.
You know, I like to think I'm smarterthan a fucking squirrel.
I get the message. Get out!
You know what, I don't want to run out of gas another 100 miles down the road...
in the middle of the night, with ten people and no fucking idea where we are!
At least here we have food and water and shelter.
Maybe we can call for help.
[CLAlRE] Jack's right.
There's probably a phone inside.
There is probably a phone inside.
So can we please, please just cool our jets...
and really think aboutwhat we're gonna do next...
before we make this situation any worse?
Please... just relax.
Okay? Okay, yeah.
Yes, fine, yes.
Yes.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Tracy, did you see a phone--
Trace?
Tracy?
She was just here.
She came back with me, right?
Yes.
Did anybody see her go anywhere?
I didn't. Maybe she went to the bathroom.
She wouldn't go to the bathroom without saying something to somebody.
Tracy! We'll go look for her.
Let's find a can and a hose and get the fuel out of these cars.
[ALEX] How are we doing?
Tastes like shit.
Yeah, I'll get you mouthwash later, but how much gas we got?
Not enough. Fuck! Really?
Did you find the gas key?
It would help if I knew what it looked like.
Well, the car by the pumps is empty, so is yours.
Of the cars here, I got maybe two and a half gallons combined.
They put it all in Jack's car. Just gonna have to see how much I can get out of Noah's.
Any luck finding Tracy?
No.
How about a phone?
No one's found one yet.
Jesus Christ, they have to have a fucking phone...
they have a internet site, for Christ's sake.
Goddamn it!
Okay, look, even if Noah's car has four gallons in it...
that still leaves us less than half a tank...
which gets us about halfway back, and then we're done.
So what do you want to do? You want to stay here?
No!
But I'm not so sure I want to be out there, either.
What if it's just some crazy guy that's running around, killing people?
You think it's a crazy guy?
I don't know.
Well, if it's a crazy guy, it's the cleanest, quietest crazy guy I've ever seen.
I haven't seen any blood, no sign of struggle.
Yeah, I know.
I wish it was a crazy guy, because I can fuck up a crazy guy.
But I don't think that's what it is.
Sam, I need to know you're with me.
I'm with you.
Okay. Yeah.
What do you think of Noah?
Dude, he's creepy as fuck.
Weird. Right?
Yeah.
[SAM] Any luck, Jack?
No... nothing.
[ELLA] He's gone!
What's wrong? What's wrong?
No, no, no, look at me, look at me.
Who's gone? Noah.
We were just walking behind the house, and calling for Tracy...
and I just took my eyes off him for a second.
He's gone.
No one else was there when it happened.
Fuck... okay, everybody inside, okay?
Inside? Dude, we gotta go. Inside, let's not bullshit.
Look, Jack, man, we gotta leave.
Notfucking now! Jack, we need to go!
Alex, goddamn it! I'm not fucking leaving without Tracy, all right!
All right.
Do you fucking hear me! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay.
I'm sorry. Okay.
I'm sorry. It's okay.
So damn sorry. Okay, all right, come on, we're going inside.
Okay, we're going inside. Everybody inside, let's go.
I just need a minute, okay?
Yeah.
( DOOR CLOSES )
Okay, we obviously have a situation here.
That may be the single biggest understatement I've ever heard.
Lucas! Dude, I'm with him on this one.
Okay, so what do we know?
We know that it looks as if everyone that was here is now gone.
They all let in a hurry.
Yes, good, yeah.
We know that all the animals have gone...
and that it's way hotter at this time of year than it should be.
So, what can cause all that?
Okay, what can make everything disappear, including the insects?
Um, look, a poisonous gas cloud, a chemical spill--
No, there'd be dead bodies all over the place.
There'd be insects and birds and critters everywhere.
Not necessarily.
I mean, sometimes, you know, when birds sense something bad is coming, like an earthquake.
You know, maybe whatever happened here, they figured it out ahead of time and took off.
O-kay, that's possible, yeah.
Yeah, like they ran ahead of it, like in a forest fire or something.
Okay, look, if it was something man-made, like a poisonous gas cloud...
then that would explain why everyone who was here let in such a hurry.
I mean, it was an emergency and they were evacuated.
So Noah and Tracy were evacuated... Claire? That's what you think?
Look, I know everyone's upset, but I really think we need to get out of here.
And if what Claire says is right, that the people who were here before got evacuated...
we need to leave.
What about Tracy and Noah?
I don't know.
I don't know, but how does staying here and having the same thing happen to us...
how does that help them...
In any way?
How much gas did you salvage?
About half a tank.
About a half a tank, well, that's not enough.
It's not enough to get help orto escape.
It's enough to get away.
Unless whatever it is we're dealing with here covers hundreds of miles...
in which case, we'd be feeding ourselves to it, and then no, it's not.
Let's put it to a vote.
All in favor of leaving.
Staying.
Looks like we're staying.
Okay, then.
I think this is a mistake.
I know. I hope you're wrong.
Me, too.
Let's lock all the windows and doors.
We stay together.
If anybody has to go to the bathroom, they take two people with them.
We don't take our eyes off each other... ever.
Okay?
( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES )
I'm worried about Tracy.
I know.
That's why I'm trying to distract you.
All right, so give me two cards, please.
( LAUGHS )
I will bet you that shot of whiskey...
and...
( CLEARS THROAT )
... this shoe.
What, are we playing strip poker now?
Told you I was gonna distract you, didn't l?
A shoe, you say.
A... shoe.
Penny ante.
I will see your bet, and I will raise you...
a shot of lrish pride.
And...
the shirt off my back.
Hm, muscles.
Very small ones, but they are there.
Okay. This region.
All right, all right, I will see your bet, and I will raise you...
my panties.
How did you get your panties off?
I came prepared.
Your turn.
Okay.
I will call.
Not until you get your underwear on this counter, you don't.
Can't you wait and see if you've won the hand or not?
Ha! No.
Fine.
But you cannot have my dignity.
I want your dignity, boy. I want your drawers.
( GIGGLES )
So can I have one of these, even if I win?
Hello?
( SCREAMlNG )
Help me! He's gone! Oh, god, he's-- he's gone!
It's okay. We were just sitting there.
He was just talking, and he just disappeared behind the--
Fuck me.
Okay, careful, you're gonna cut yourself.
Alex!
Come on, man, what the hell are you doin'?
Alex!
Look what I just remembered.
Whoa! You brought a gun?
Really? You're judging me for bringing a gun camping...
underthese circumstances?
I just wish it was bigger.
What the hell are you gonna do with a gun?
I don't know, Jack, but I feel better having it in my hand, man.
Come on, I want to go back inside, okay? Yeah...
I think whatever was out here is inside now, man.
Pretty sure Lucas is coming to terms with that fact right as we speak.
I still want to go inside.
Oh, I know you do, Jack. I'm coming.
Oh, and Jack? Yeah.
I just want you to remember... I wanted to leave.
Everything that happens from here on out... is on your head.
Come on, Jack, let's get inside.
'Cause it's gonna get real dark soon.
Lucas isn't anywhere.
Yeah, I figured.
Jesus, is that a gun?
I hope so.
Where the hell did you get it?
My gun-mobile.
How's Amelia doing?
Um, she's upset.
I mean, we all are.
Jesus Christ, what the hell is happening to us, Jack?
Believe me, I wish I knew.
There wasn't any warning, I mean, not a fucking sound.
It-- it just doesn't make sense, you know?
What if-- what if there were-- there were doors?
Or-- or panels where somebody could literally suck you into the walls?
You know, I am really glad that you said that, because that sounds fucking crazy.
That is fucking crazy.
That-- that still doesn't explain the missing animals.
Yeah, well, that's where my serial killer theory pretty much breaks down.
Guys, there's gotta be something we can do...
to protect ourselves from what's happening here.
I know.
Do you?
This is retribution.
Ah, here we go.
Jesus, where'd you get the Bible?
Um, the book shelf.
This is God punishing us for our sins.
You know, I figured this was gonna happen, man.
Um, gotta be honest, I thought it would be Charlotte, so--
We have lost our way...
and God is striking us down, one by one--
I-- I don't mean to be insensitive, uh, but when did you become so fucking pious?
I mean, aren't you kind of a slut?
Alex, this is not making things any better.
You know, it's not making things any worse, Claire.
You know, I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna stand here...
being prosthetized to by a fucking 22-year-old!
God is striking down all who have fallen off the paths of righteousness!
Okay, but Tracy...
Tracy was studying to be a kindergarten teacher.
Tracy was a devout Catholic.
So you tell me, why did Tracy get swallowed up by the Holy fucking spirit?
I don't know! Mm-hm.
Her sins are known only to her and God.
Oh-oh, I want to punch you so hard right now.
Well, you go ahead.
So what's your solution, Agnes of God, huh?
We gonna go up to the lake and get baptized in the waters? Is that it?
We pray. Mm.
We pray. Oh--
That's what I intend to do, I am going to pray.
Okay, you pray... and I won't!
And whoever disappears last, wins!
I thinkthat's enough.
Keep your mouth shut and I won't smack it.
Claire.
Let's uh, pray over here, shall we? Yeah.
Yeah, right.
We still need a plan.
Staying in a large group didn't work.
The second we took our eyes off of Lucas, he was gone.
Cast down by the Lord, our God--
I will fucking kill her.
Stop... please?
Any ideas, anything?
( CHUCKLES )
( OMINOUS MUSIC FADES UP )
You okay?
Not really... you?
Barely functional.
Things are starting to unravel.
Yeah.
They're gonna get worse.
Yeah.
You know what?
We should get something to eat.
It's a good idea.
Hey, guys, what do you say we get some food?
If we all go to the kitchen, we can keep an eye on each other, so--
I'll be right there.
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
Any requests?
Sushi. Ha-ha.
Anything a white girl from lowa can make?
Babies. Yeah.
Potatoes.
I think you're thinking ldaho.
Sorry.
Do they make bologna sandwiches in lowa?
That, they do.
And if I could find some bologna, that's something I can actually make.
Excuse me.
So what do you guys like on your sandwiches?
[SAM] Everything. Anything.
Okay, I'll just bring whatever I can find.
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
Here. Thanks.
Ah, can you grab some mayo?
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
( GASPS ) What?
Are you kidding me?
( GASPS ) No, no, no, no.
Guess that means I win.
Oh, my god.
We need to get--
Wait a-- Sam, Sam, Sam! [SAM] We need to get out of here.
Sam. We need to get out of here.
Okay, Sam, Sam, give me the gun. We need to get out. We need to get--
Oh, my god! Sam--
Sam? Give me your keys.
Give me-- give me the fucking keys, Jack! Okay, here.
Okay, okay, here.
Stay back! Here, here.
Stay the fuck there! Get the fuck back!
Don't you fucking move!
Here. Get the keys.
I'm scared, Sam. Charlotte, get the keys!
I'm-- I'm-- Get the fucking keys!
Move. Come here, baby, come here.
Okay.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES )
Let's go.
It's okay.
You should have never kept us here, Jack.
It's okay.
( GUN FIRES ) ( GlRLS SCREAM )
Oh, god.
[ALEX] I'm gonna fucking kill the shit out of him! Fuck!
It's not as bad as it looks. Not as bad as it looks.
It looks bad, okay. It looks-- Not as--
It feels fucking bad.
( CAR ENGlNE STARTS )
That's the car.
[ELLA] Are you guys-- Jack! Jack, where are you going?
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )
[JACK] Sam! Jack!
Sam! Goddamn it!
[CHARLOTTE] Stop him! [ELLA] Jack?
[JACK] Sam! Please don't take the fucking car! Come on!
[CLAlRE] Sam! Stop!
[SAM] Fuck off, Jack! You-- shutthefuck up!
CLAlRE] Sam! Sam!
( CHARLOTTE SCREAMS ) Shit.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP)
( ENGlNE lDLES )
When the fuck did it snow?
I have no idea.
Jack.
Just, uh, stay behind me. Okay?
Okay.
Sam!
No... Sam!
Jack.
Charlotte!
[CLAlRE] Sam?
( GASPS )
[CLAlRE] Alex!
You had to have seen this. What happened? [CLAlRE] Alex, let her go!
[CLAlRE] Jack! Jack, get him off her! Alex, come on, man, get off her.
Tell me! [CLAlRE] Alex, stop!
Tell me! Tell me! Alex, she can't tell you!
[JACK] Claire! Claire! Okay? She's in shock! Okay? Just--
[CLAlRE] Jack, help her!
I will choke the life out of you, I swear to god!
Let her go! I swear to god! Tell me!
Agh!
God! Son of a bitch! Ow!
Charlotte can you--
Come on, let's grab her.
Take her to the house!
( GROANS )
Look, I guess I owe you an apology, Jack.
We were never gonna be allowed to leave.
We're dead no matter what.
It doesn't-- it doesn't matter now.
He must have been holding the keys when he disappeared, they're gone.
( CHUCKLES )
He let the gun.
He took the keys, but he left the gun.
Oh, come on, Jack, you gotta laugh, otherwise you're gonna--
you're gonna go nuts, man.
It'd be a little, too late for you.
( LAUGHlNG )
Oh, Christ. It hurts to laugh.
Oh...
[JACK] So? How is he?
He's luckythe bullet went right through.
He's lucky you're studying to be a nurse.
[ELLA] I found some Vicodin in the first aid kit.
I gave him two.
It should knock out most ofthe pain, but he's not gonna sleepwell.
We just have to hope that he doesn't get an infection.
How's Charlotte?
Completely unresponsive.
Whatthe hell is going on with the weather?
[JACK] Why is there so much snow outside?
I don't know.
It must have dropped 50 degrees in the last couple hours. It doesn't make any sense.
You look exhausted.
Yeah, I am.
I'm gonna take her upstairs, so she can get some sleep.
Are you okay with these two?
I'm not sleeping any time soon.

[JACK] I don't know what to do.
[ELLA] I know.
I've never been this scared in my life.
I know.
I don't understand what's happening here.
I can't stop it, or control it.
( SlGHS )
I really don't want to die here.
[ELLA] We might.
Thank you for being--

She's gone.
I couldn't keep her here.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Should I open it?
Do you have a choice?
( DRAMATIC MUSIC FADES UP )
Jesus Christ.
What's with the gun?
Where the fuck have you been?
Uh...
I guess I fell into a ditch or something.
When I came to, it was dark. I didn't know where I was.
Bullshit.
Fucking bullshit! Come on.
Guys, what the hell? It's me.
Is it? Is it you? I don't know.
Who else would I be?
Demon, alien, spirit of an ancient lndian burial ground.
You tell me. I'm open to any sci-fi bullshit explanation atthis point.
Jack...
This is insane.
Nah, nah, no...
this isn't even the tip ofthe insane iceberg, buddy.
You've missed the cavalcade of crazy that's marched through here all fucking night.
And you, you coming back from the Big Beyond...
Well, that's just the lettuce on the fuck-you sandwich.
Okay.
Look, I-- I know that I don't know you guys that well, all right?
But... what is it you think I did?
Alex, what are you gonna do? Huh?
I mean, you can't shoot him.
Oh, really, Claire? Can't l?
Are those the rules?
You know, because I think my shoulder would disagree with you!
I could just-- I could just shoot him, just shoot him...
and blow his fucking ass away and if he comes back, he'd be a zombie...
or something.
Would that- would that explain any of this shit?
Not really, no.
Where's Ella? Where's Ella, she'll know that it's me.
Yeah, where is Ella?
No... no... really?
Goddamn it.
What? Where is she?
She's where the fuck you just came from, asshole!
What is going on?
Alex, that's enough, okay? Let's--
Yeah, butwhat if he knows, man.
What if he knows where she is?
What if he knows where she is, where they all are?
What if we can get them back?
He doesn't.
Are you sure? Because I'm not.
I mean, I'm not even sure if he's human, Jack.
[NOAH] Please? Shut up.
Please! I said, shut up!
Just stop it! Okay?
What do you want me to do, Claire? Huh? Hm?
What do you want?
Just don't hurt him.
Okay, well, how am I supposed to get information out of him, huh?
What? You want me to ask him nice?
Okay.
Hey, uh-- hey, Creepy Noah, what's going on, huh?
I don't know.
He doesn't know. Are you satisfied with that answer?
Yes.
Are you? Yes.
Yeah, I'm not.
Now what is going on?
I don't know.
I can't hear you!
What do you want me to say?
I want you to say something...
that makes everything make sense.
( GUN FIRES )
Okay, that's enough.
Fuck off. It's enough!
What, you stop me on the second bullet, but notthe first?
Was the second bullet just a tad excessive?
I mean, you could have stopped me at any time, Jackie.
You could just come over and you could have punched me again.
Nice shot, by the way, you really-- you really cleaned my clock there, chief.
Your dirty, little secret is that you want answers just as bad as I do.
But you don't have the stomach to get 'em.
Alex, we all want answers! Okay?
We all want them, but not like this.
Not like this, please?
Fine.
But he ain't staying here.
Please help me!
I don't know where they go when they disappear...
but I have read enough Stephen King to knowthat nothing safe comes back from that dark place.
Claire, help me!
Agh!
Sure, he looks like Noah now, but when we go to sleep...
he'll turn into a pod, control our minds.
I mean... Please, God!
he might be making me do this right now.
Whatever took him the first time...
take him back.
[NOAH] Please! Let me back in!
[NOAH] Guys, don't let me die out here! Let me ba--
I guess he was Noah ater all.
What did you do?
It doesn't matter.
Don't you get it?
We're all gonna disappear and then everything we've ever done, it doesn't matter.
Do you smoke?
No.
They're delicious.
You know, I could shoot you both.
I could take the vegetable there upstairs and I could rape her.
Doesn't matter.
Because we're all going to be erased.
If I gave you a blank video tape...
would you care what was on it before?
It could be a snuff film, but why would you give a fuck?
So, yes, I may have done some monstrous things...
but I don'tthink anybody's ever gonna know.
We will.
Yup.
For as long as you both shall live.
Good luck with that.
You know what's weird?
Everyone who disappeared, they-- they didn't leave a trace.
Not even a spot of blood.
That makes me sad.
I want them to know that I was here.
( GUN FIRES ) ( GASPS )
I can't believe he just did that.
You want a drink?
I don't drink.
You sure you don't want to start?
Yeah.
We're gonna getthrough this.
Yeah, yeah.
As long as we don't blink.
Noah's blood... it's gone.
When? When?
When, uh-- when Noah stopped yelling.
Okay.
[JACK] Charlotte's still here, that's fair.
( PHONE RlNGlNG )
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
They have a motorcycle phone.
Hello?
No, we're no longer taking reservations. Sorry.
Jack... okay.
All right, 9-1-1.
It's ringing.
Hello? Thank god, okay, um...
my name is Claire Holstead, I'm at the Mountainbrook Resort.
Yes, that's the one. Yes.
Well, there's been a, um...
a horrible accident.
Yeah, a lot of people have died.
Please send as many as you can.
Please hurry.
I understand. No, I understand.
I'll see you then.
Okay, they're coming, but um, they're pretty far away.
It's gonna take them three hours.
It's-- we'll just-- we just have to make it for three more hours, Jack.
Just three more hours.
That's easier said than done, Claire. I know, I know.
Okay, but look, we can just, um...
we'll just face each other, right? Okay?
And we can just stare into each others eyes. Okay.
Okay? Yeah.
( LlGHTS CLlCK OFF ) [CLAlRE] Jack! Jack!
[JACK] I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.
[CLAlRE] Where are you? [JACK] Relax, relax!
[JACK] Wait, hold on. [CLAlRE] Where's the light?
Jack, find the light! I'm looking for it, hold on.
[JACK] Okay, here, here, I got it. I got it, I got it! [CLAlRE] Jack, please!
[JACK] Ssh, it's okay, okay? Okay, okay.
Okay, here it is.
( EERIE MUSIC FADES UP )
I think there's more under the table, the candles, there's the big ones.
Okay.
You want to give one to Charlotte?
Yeah. I'll watch you.
Okay. Okay?
Okay.
Charlotte, hi.
I know, okay, take this.
Take this, go ahead.
Go ahead... okay.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
( SNlFFLlNG )
It's okay, okay?
It's okay.
What just happened?
I'm guessing that for some reason, the power got cut off.
( LAUGHS )
Can we fix it? We could try.
I mean, we could find the fuse box. I don't know where the hell it is.
It's probably outside.
I'm not going outside. We don't have to go outside.
I've never been this scared in my entire life.
Yeah, I know.
This isn't really how I saw this weekend going.
Oh, yeah?
Tracy's pregnant.
she didn't know that I knew, but I found her pregnancy test.
I was waiting for her to tell me on her own.
When she got the courage, I was gonna give her this.
It's beautiful. Yeah?
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, Jack.
Oh, yeah, me, too.
You know, I just came up here this weekend for some peace and quiet.
I have two months to go on my doctoral thesis.
I don't know if you're gonna get much quieterthan this.
No.
I just want to know why this is happening.
Why?
I'm not so sure that I want to anymore.
I'm not so sure that I care.
I just want it to be over.
If I'm gonna disappear, I just want it to happen already.
You know, all I ever really wanted to be was a biologist.
And I worked my ass off in college.
I was always driven and focused...
and I never really lived... outside of that, you know?
I was never popular...
and I've been to six movies since I started my thesis...
and every single one, I went to alone.
So I don't want to die... I don't want to disappear.
Because I really haven't had that much time just being here to begin with.
Okay.
Okay?
I won't give up hope, okay?
I have to tell you something.
But you have to promise notto laugh.
What?
I have to go to the bathroom.
That's fantastic.
So--
[CLAlRE] So... uh--
[JACK] Look, I'm gonna look away.
[CLAlRE] No, uh, just eye level, okay?
[JACK] Oh, this is really awkward.
[CLAlRE] You don't have to tell me that.
[JACK] Can I put Charlotte down now?
I'm going to go away now.
No!
Don't blink.
Just don't... blink.
Jack... Jack!
No.
No... no.
No.
( DlSTANT SlRENS APPROACHlNG )
Is that?
I'm still here.
I'm still... here.
( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) I'm still here. Please, God!
I'm still here!
I'm still here.
I'm still--
I'm still here! I'm still-- I'm still here.
I can see that, calm down.
What happened here? Here you go.
Full perimeter... quickly.
We don't have much time, Sheriff. We need to do a sweep and get out of here.
[OFFlCER #1 ] Roll that back about 100 feet!
[OFFlCER #2] Check that over there! No, rightthere!
Is there anyone else with you?
Don't blink.
I never do.
