[HORN HONKS]

I should have stuck to my
g*ns and ordered you a decaf.

Luke.

Listen, a pregnant woman should not have

more than milligrams
of caffeine in a day.

- I read it on the internet.
- You read it on the internet.

Yeah, that's how I know it's true.

[LAUGHS]

You know, you are ridiculous,

and ridiculously sweet,
and cute, and...

What?

I don't deserve you.

Hey.

I'm the luckiest man I know.

[ANDI] Susan?

Andi, hi.

I'm sorry to interrupt. That
was the sweetest thing.

[CHUCKLES]

I'm Luke, Susan's husband.

- Hi. Andi. I'm...
- Andi's an old friend.

Cool. How do you guys know each other?

Camp. We were camp counselors.

You didn't tell me you
were a camp counselor.

Yeah.

I wonder what else
she's keeping from me.

[SUSAN] Um...

Listen, Andi, I'd love to catch up, but

we're actually just heading to brunch.

Yeah, of course. No problem.

You know what? I could actually...

Go ahead and hold our spot
if you wanted to catch up.

Sure. Thank you.

- It was nice meeting you, Andi.
- Likewise.

Wow, I...

Can't believe you're
pregnant. Congratulations.

Look, Susan, I saw you. I
just wanted to say hello.

Well, do me a favor and
next time you see me,

just keep walking.

I wasn't going to say anything about...

what happened. I'm not an idiot.

Well, I don't know
what you're gonna say.

Look, what you do and
don't tell your husband,

that's none of my business.

You don't think he
noticed something there?

Andi, listen.

I will defend my family... with my life.

Do you understand?

Holy. Holy f*cking hell.

[SUSAN] f*ck! f*ck!

Don't touch it!

Who could know? Nobody
knows. It's been years.

[DAWN] Well, obviously,
somebody f*cking does!

f*ck. f*ck.

[SOBS]

[PETER] Come on, get up.

Susan, listen to me.

Look at me. Susan, look at me!

Come here. Come on, come on.

Shh.

Breathe, breathe, breathe,
breathe, breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe.

There you go. Good.

We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna figure this out.

Come on.

We're gonna get through this.

Are we?

We shouldn't be here with a
psychopath out in these woods.

Renee, stop, please.

Did you hear something?

- No, did you?
- Listen.

I don't hear anything.

- [SHOUTS] Gene!
- Shh!

Nobody's here. Come on. Let's move.

[LOUD CRACKING]

It's okay.

We're okay.

[WHISPERS] Antoine.

What the hell is that?

Jesus Christ.

No, no, please, please!
No, no, please.

[SOBBING]

Please.

It's him.

[PANTING]

[NOAH] Almost done.

[PETER] Yeah, I think so.

You got blood on your hands.

And this...

is your lifeline.

Unless it says I'm gonna live to a
hundred, I don't want to hear it.

It's not about how long you live.

It's about the quality of life you have.

See, a deep and long lifeline means
that you're full of vitality,

and that people are attracted to you.

Or it means my moisturizer sucks.

Can we please just finish setting up?

Yeah. Um, I have this sign here.

Where do you think it should
go, back here or in the front?

Doesn't matter.

I think it should go in the front.

Oh, and I got this snow globe

that I thought we could
use as a crystal ball.

What do you think?

- Great.
- Okay, cool.

I'm gonna go get it, but...

Susan, I'm really excited that
we're doing this together.

Okay, I'll be right back.

Hey.

[SIGHS] Save me.

From what? This looks amazing.

No, not this. From Talvinder.

Oh, my God, Susan.

Okay, I know. I get it.
You guys all love Tal.

Come on. She is like so desperate
and clingy, it's disgusting.

Maybe she's overcompensating because
she can sense that you hate her.

What can I say? The
girl creeps me out.

And now I get to spend all
night reading fortunes

and staring into some stupid crystal

ball that she's been off looking for

- for the past hour!
- Shh, shh.

- Jesus, Susan.
- What?

You could be nicer to her, okay?
You could. You could try.

Okay, you know I can read people.

Okay, I don't need tarot
cards or crystal balls.

My gut is telling me do
not trust that girl.

[SCOFFS] What the f*ck do I know, right?

Because Tal's just so nice,
and friendly, and amazing.

All right.

I must be wrong then.

Except I never am.

You know that.

[NOAH] What do you think the
culties are doing right now?

[DAWN] Talking about us.

Do you think they think we did it?

- [DAWN] Why would we k*ll our friend?
- Wouldn't be the first time.

Are you trying to help or are
you going to be an assh*le?

- f*ck off, Dawn.
- You f*ck off, Noah.

Guys, come on! Stop!

f*ck off.

We need a story.

We need... to get unified

in case they accuse us of anything.

- Something simple.
- Okay, we att*ck first.

[PETER] Okay, how?

Well, we're guests here, right?

We come here for a reunion
and this is what happened?

Our friend's been m*rder*d.
We're traumatized.

It's like Talvinder all over again,
and we put them on the defensive.

It tracks with everything
we've said so far.

I know, but I mean...

I don't think we should mention
Talvinder unless we have to.

It just sounds like
we're trying too hard.

Fine, then we won't.

Otherwise, I think it sounds good.

Let's go see if they found Gene
and get the f*ck out of here.

[KNOCKING]

I just wanted to see how
you were holding up.

I'm as well as I can be.

[SOFT CLATTERING]

You're into crystals?

I know, it's a little hocus pocus.

That's cool.

There's more things in heaven and earth.

Than can be dreamt of
in your philosophy.

Yeah.

What are those ones?

Carnelian.

Smoky quartz.

Sardonyx for protection.

I hold onto them because they
help create a circle of support.

You're feeling scared.

You?

There's so much terror in the field.

I'm fighting hard to stay present.

What's that?

Black tourmaline...

will envelope you in protective
energy and help you stay grounded.

Thank you.

Judith? Um...

What?

I don't mean to pry
into your business...

but do we have to be worried about you?

No.

- You're not doing anything.
- No. No. No.

[KNOCKING]

Hey, I'm calling a pow-wow.

- You all right, Antoine? You...
- You look shaken up.

Downstairs in five.

[ANTOINE] As you all know,

earlier today...

one of our guests,
Andi, was found dead.

And Renee and I went to
find Gene to call for help.

We found that he had
been k*lled as well.

k*lled?

Andi and Gene were both m*rder*d.

Wait, how do you know
they were m*rder*d?

This is so f*cked up.

My friends, my friends, please,
we have to remain calm

so that we can figure this out together.

- Together we are stronger.
- No, no, no.

This is not the time for your "Kumbaya"

circle jerk bullshit, all right?

We need to find out who did this.

Both groups lost someone.

I'm giving you a fact right now.

The bodies didn't start dropping
until these assholes showed up.

Oh, nice, yeah. Blame the victim.

We came here for a reunion, okay?

Our friend was brutally m*rder*d and

now you're accusing us? It's not...

Nobody's accusing you of anything.

You lost your friend,

- and we lost ours.
- Right.

If we can get two on a sled, we can
carry half of us over to Gene's,

use the phone and call for help.

Yeah, and who are the lucky
fucks who get to stay behind?

[RENEE] The main
priority here is safety.

We have three snow mobiles and
we're going to be boondocking it,

so we've got to keep it
light... [VOICE FADES AWAY]

Oh, my God, you don't think
it was one of us, do you?

I'm not a f*cking detective, Renee!

For f*ck's sakes!

Sorry. Sorry, that was
very reactive of me.

Yeah, you're g*dd*mn right it was.

I'm trying to hold space for
you, but it's a lot to process.

Can we just have silence, please?

No problem.

You check that one.

[ENGINE SPUTTERS]

f*ck, it's not working.

This one is down too.

Let me try.

[GRUNTS]

f*ck.

There's no gas. It's empty.

- This one is too.
- sh*t.

Siphoned it out.

Susan, no one has
volunteered to stay behind,

so we'll be drawing straws.

Susan?

Sorry.

I was a million miles away.

Anything I can do?

You got a time machine?

I just want to go back
before any of this happened,

before we ever decided to come here

and do everything.

That's what I want.

I want to spend the rest of
my life with good people.

Stay away from the bad ones.

The bad ones?

Yeah.

They're everywhere.

[TALVINDER] The kids
will be here any minute.

Let's do our final touches.

I have an idea.

I think we should do
something with our hair,

something kind of witchy.

Oh, come on. If you don't like
it, we can always take it out.

- Okay.
- Really? Okay.

- Sit down. Come on!
- Okay.

- [GIGGLES]
- Okay.

Your hair is really nice.

Thanks.

I love doing hair.

When I was a little girl, I used to

play with my dolls' hair all the time.

I find it so relaxing.

So I was thinking we could do
your hair split in the front.

And maybe a couple of braids
in front of your face.

Or...

we could sweep it all to one side.

Your skin's really soft.

It feels amazing.

Makes me wanna...

Makes you wanna what?

It makes me wanna...

Tell you how pathetic you are.

I see right through you,

even if the others don't.

We all have the capacity
to do both evil and good.

Now, if you told me that you didn't want

to hang around with murderers anymore,

I'd say yeah, you probably shouldn't

be hanging around with murderers.

But you said you wanted to get
away from the bad people.

And that's impossible because
you, like me and everyone else,

you have both of those things in you.

[PETER] We're stuck here for the night.

You guys are sure you
checked every snowmobile?

What do you think, Noah?

Look, we'll head out to Gene's
in the morning on foot.

For now, let's try to get some sleep.

How could you think about sleep
when we're being stalked?

We'll keep watch. We'll take shifts.

- We have no protection.
- Yes, we do.

- Dawn!
- What the f*ck?

What? I brought it, just in case.

In case of what?

I don't know. A psycho
k*ller stalking us,

Talvinder's ghost out to get revenge,

rabid coyotes.

Do you have any idea
what happens to you,

to us if they find out
you have a w*apon?

If someone comes in
here, I'll sh**t them.

In your sleep?

Yeah, in my sleep, Susan.

No one's coming in here because
we're barricading the f*cking door.

- Yo, what's that?
- What?

Chill. It's not like a guy
with a machete or anything.

It's just a box.

Careful. Careful.

"Stay warm."

How thoughtful.

- I mean, unless it's a...
- Noah, what is it?

I'll look.

It's just clothes.

[GASPS]

Holy sh*t!

They're Gene's clothes.

- That's what he was wearing.
- Oh, God!

- f*ck.
- [SUSAN WHIMPERS]

Oh, no. No, no, no, I won't.

- I won't.
- What are you...? What are you doing?

I'm leaving!

I'm going back to Gene's,
and getting in my SUV,

- and getting out of this hell hole.
- No, no, no.

- It's pitch black. It's a K walk.
- Yeah, then you'll die.

I'd rather freeze to death
than get stabbed in my sleep.

At least out there I have a chance.

I've hiked K before. I can do it.

I can't believe I'm saying
this, but I agree with Susan.

I'd rather take my chances out there.

That doesn't make any
sense! Wait until morning!

No! No, no, no. f*ck that.

I'm leaving with or without you.

[DOOR OPENS]

Let's go.

[SUSAN PANTING]

Hey, you think this old RV still works?

Susan, walk away right now.

[TALVINDER SNIFFLING]

Walk away.

What happened?

Seriously, you're playing dumb?

- Dawn, get her away from me.
- Okay, okay.

[TALVINDER SOBS]

I didn't do this.

Okay, this is Talvinder
doing exactly...

Oh, really?

Blame the victim? That's what
you're asking me to do right now?

You're unbelievable. Get out of here.

Get the f*ck out of here, Susan!

- It's okay. It's okay.
- [SOBBING]

[SUSAN PANTING]

[SUSAN] We've walked like,
K in the last minutes.

At this rate, it'll take us three
hours to get to the outfitters.

- What is this?
- What?

Oh, sh*t. The phone line has been cut.

Oh!

Someone's doing this on purpose.

Someone's hunting us down and cutting

us off from the rest of the world.

He might be out here, so shut up.

- [HOWLING]
- [GASPS]

- What is that?
- That's not a f*cking squirrel.

- [GROWLING]
- Run!

- What? Wait! Wait! No!
- Leave it!

Do you think they're going to make it?

Stop thinking about them.

They never found her?

The police looked everywhere,
but no. They never found her.

- Not a trace?
- Nothing, nada.

She's the reason my
family lost this camp.

After she disappeared, no one would
send their kids here anymore.

That is seriously screwed up.

I need a cup of tea.

So, how long ago did all that happen?

My brother shut the camp
down about three years ago.

It was a couple of years before
that when the girl disappeared.

Noah said they were here for a reunion.

Five years ago, they'd be the right age.

Did they know her?

It's got to be connected.

[PANTING]

[GRUNTS]

- Are you okay?
- I can't breathe. Hold on.

I think whatever that was that
was following us is gone.

[HOWLING]

I can't keep going on. I'm exhausted,

and I think every part
of my body is frozen.

Okay, okay.

Oh, f*ck.

What did, uh...

What did one ghost say
to the other ghost?

- f*ck off.
- Hey.

I'm changing the subject, okay?

What did one ghost say
to the other ghost?

I have no idea.

- Do you believe in people?
- [GROANS]

That's hilarious.

Just don't quit your day job.

Now you tell me a joke. Okay?

You tell me a joke but
we've got to keep walking.

Come on.

One foot in front of the other.

One foot...

in front of...

What?

[NOAH GROANS] Oh, come on!

Are you f*cking kidding me?

We're going around in circles.

Look, we're not good at this.

If we keep going, we're
going to die out here.

- We need to go back.
- No!

- No!
- Susan, come on, please!

- I can't go back there!
- You have to.

We have no choice.

We're not gonna make it.

[LOUD THUD]

[PANTING]

- What the hell were you thinking?
- Antoine, this is not the time.

The phone lines.


They didn't just come down in the
wind. They were cut on purpose.

Noah, you're hypothermic and
you're frostbitten all over.

I'm a trained nurse. I'm going
to take your socks off, okay?

Oh, f*ck, that is nasty.
You're going to lose those.

f*ck, excellent bedside manner,
guys. You should be a doctor.

[KEIRA] Wiggle your toes for me.

[NOAH GROANS]

We won't know how bad it
is until you thaw out.

We need to warm you up.

Do you think I'm going to
lose my toes or anything

- 'cause I've grown attached to them.
- [KEIRA] Okay, relax.

- No one's losing any body parts.
- Yeah?

You should tell that
to your buddy, Gene.

You know what? There are
some heaters in the back.

I'm going to get them. We're going
to save those piggies, okay?

Those are propane heaters. Do
you want us all to suffocate?

There's an electric
heater in their cabin.

Well then, go get it!

Mark, go with her. Tell Dawn
and Peter what happened.

Any other orders, sir?

Oh, Jesus Christ, you're
gonna worry about that now?

Antoine.

I'm sorry. You're right. I'm...

I should never have barked
out orders at you. Uh...

My sincerest apologies.

In the meantime, what
can I do to help Noah?

Get a dish towel. Warm
it with some hot water,

and hold it against his face,
his hands, and his feet.

Peter.

Peter.

Peter.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[RATTLING]

[GASPS]

[SCREAMS]

[PETER GASPING]

[MARK] Run. They got a g*n.

What the f*ck, Dawn?
It's Keira and Mark.

What the hell is wrong with you?

[MARK] They have a g*n.

They have a g*n. They sh*t at us.

[RENEE] Are you okay?

I think so.

Why did you bring a g*n up here?

- Answer me!
- We didn't.

- No.
- Dawn, she brought the g*n.

We didn't even know she was packing

heat until like a couple of hours ago.

I'm not the one, okay?
Don't look at me...

- We are looking at you, both of you!
- Answer her.

Why'd your friend bring
a f*cking g*n here?

- We have no idea!
- [GLENN] You're lying.

- Look, we didn't do anything.
- Spare me! I'm not stupid.

- Renee, please just listen to me.
- I'm done listening.

And trusting.

[PANTS]

Dawn is percent on Talvinder's side.

- That girl is such a psychopath.
- Susan?

Why should I believe you over them?

Because we're friends, Andi.

Because we've worked together for
the past three summers in a row,

and have I ever done anything
to make you not trust me?

No.

I really wish I could
spare you from this...

but you deserve to know the truth.

[SUSAN SIGHS]

[TALVINDER PANTING]

[MOANING, PANTING]

[TALVINDER LAUGHS]

- [PETER] Come on. Give me the g*n.
- What?

We're going over to the main house

and explaining our psycho behavior!

No, we're not. No f*cking way!

I will protect myself!

You're starting to scare me right now.

Dawn, give me the g*n.

Now!

Take it.

I don't want things to get
any more out of hand.

I think we're past that point.

If I meant you any harm,

do you really think I'd
be giving this to you?

Why do you even have a g*n?

Maybe... Dawn was just afraid of
being in the wilderness alone.

Animals, I don't know.

Five years ago, a young woman
disappeared from this camp

and you were all
here, all five of you.

That's not true! We had nothing...

And now you're back and
people are getting k*lled.

One of you brought a g*n, so I'm
sorry if we don't believe you.

There are just way too
many coincidences.

Too many lies.

Noah, Susan, over here, now!

Go to your cabin and don't
come back for any reason.

We'll send you food but that's
it. This house is off limits.

- Antoine, Renee, please.
- That's how it's gonna be!

You come back, I'll be
the one using the g*n!

[DOOR LOCKS]

Hey.

You back?

Yeah.

And, thanks to you, we're
now under house arrest.

House arrest?

Where's the g*n?

[NOAH] Uh...

Don't ask.

- Hello? Where's the g*n?
- [PETER] Don't ask.

I'm asking.

- They took it.
- [NOAH] If by "they took it,"

you mean Peter handed it
over like a little bitch?

- Then yeah, they took it.
- I'm sorry. Are you a f*cking moron?

[SUSAN] Stop!

You don't get to be mad right now.

See, you're the reason
we're in this mess.

- Oh. I'm the reason?
- Yeah, you are.

Guys, you guys really don't
need to fight right now, okay?

Can we just be a team, please?

[SUSAN] No, this isn't a team, okay?

I can barely stand the
sight of the three of you,

let alone spend the night with
a bunch of f*cking murderers!

You guys all have blood on your
hands. You deserve to be in jail.

- And you don't?
- No, I don't!

I never touched Talvinder!

I am the only one who never
laid a finger on her!

- Please, don't do this right now!
- You're out of your f*cking mind!

- Dawn. Dawn.
- No, no, no! She needs to hear this.

Hear what? What? What?

None of this would have ever
happened if it wasn't for you

and that sick little
plan that you cooked up

to teach Talvinder a lesson.

You started this. You own it.

You lit the f*cking
match and you ran away

the second the whole
thing went up in flames!

And now you stand there and you
tell me that you're better than us?

I hope you're next.

Should we go after her?

f*ck her. I'm going to bed.

[WIND BLOWING]

Andi, wait!

Andi, wait!

[SOBBING]

I trusted her and I... I defended her.

And then she goes and she fucks...

I know.

I just wanna scream at her
until she f*cking gets it!

Yelling at her isn't
gonna make a difference.

She's going to laugh in your face.

So, what... what are you
saying, just don't bother?

No.

I'm saying...

if you want to have an impact on
her, you need to think like her.

We come up with a plan, we
set it up, and execute it.

You know, I'm sorry you had to see that.

You have to be patient, okay?

I promise you...

we'll make her pay for
what she's done...

so she never does this again.

[GASPS, SCREAMS]

[PANTS]

[TALVINDER SOBBING, SCREAMING]

Please! Oh, no!

Stop it!

[SOBBING CONTINUES]

Susan, the plan f*cking changed!

- So, what are we going to do now?
- Oh, no.

- Peter...
- Susan! Susan! Susan, I'm sorry.

I... I can't do this. I can't do that!

- No, I can't do this. No!
- Susan... Susan!

- No!
- Susan!

[TALVINDER] Stop it, please!

[SCREAMING LOUDLY] No!

No!

[SOBS]

[JUDITH SHIFTS, SIGHS]

[SHOUTS]

Judith, Judith, it's okay.

It's okay. It's okay... it's me.

Oh, Wren!

[PANTS]

I was just, I was going to stay
in here and keep an eye on you,

but you fell asleep.

How did you get in here? How
did I not hear you? How...

I'm not surprised.

It's been a hell of a day.

Let me, um..

Help you relax.

Can you feel my breath?

Is that all right?

Breathe with me, Judith.

Right down.

Yeah.

Right down to your pelvis.

Feel your whole body.

Yeah...

Yeah.

Is that better?

Good.

Okay, you get some sleep.

I'm just down the hall if you need me.

[DOOR CLOSES]

You sure you don't want
to carry this thing?

I can carry more than firewood.

If we have to fire it, I'll
probably sh**t you in the head.

[SCREAMS]

- What?
- Oh, my God.

How do you do it?

You seem so...

together.

I pretend that night never happened.

I don't think about it...

ever.

But it did happen...

and we all have to live
with the consequences.

Well...

some of us have more
to regret than others.

The next time I see you,
I'll just keep walking.

Yeah.

Susan?

Good luck pretending it never happened.
