[bunniefuu]

[ominous music playing]

[person breathing heavily]

[cell phone beeps]

[whirring]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[vacuum turns off]

Hello?

Hello?

[vacuum clicking]

[sighs]

Terrific.

[ominous music playing]

What in the Sam Hell?

[screams]

Oh, for heaven's sakes,

you almost gave me

a heart attack.

I'm sorry, Ms. Spring.

I was just doing

some last minute checks

before the big reopening

this weekend.

It's okay. I just forgot

you were working late today.

That's all.

What--? What happened there?

Well, I'm not really sure.

I was vacuuming the carpet,

and then it went dead,

and then I found this.

[grunts] Well, I think I know

what happened there.

You do?

Rats.

-Rats?

-Afraid so.

I saw a few congregating

in the basement.

They must have come in

with all the construction.

I thought I got them all,

but it looks like they gnawed

right through your wire there.

Oh, this isn't good.

Oh, we can't have this,

especially with all the guests

that are coming this weekend.

Maybe I should go check.

I... I wouldn't go down there

if I were you.

[ominous music playing]

-They're big.

-Oh.

I'll throw a few traps

down on the way out,

and that should get

everything under control.

Oh, Brad. Thank you.

I don't know what I would

have done without you

these last couple of weeks.

You truly are a godsend.

-Everyone's gotta make a living.

-[chuckles] Right.

-Good night, Ms. Spring.

-Good night.

Rats.

[groans]

[screams]

[suspenseful music playing]

[groaning]

Oh.

[continues groaning]

[shouts]

[eerie music playing]

[man] All right.

Let's see what you got, bud.

Not bad, Kev.

Hey, Dad. Hey, Dad.

Look what I can do.

[pensive music playing]

[man] Wow.

Did you see?

I did it with one hand.

Want me to show you

something else?

[man] Sure. Go for it, kiddo.

All right, look at you.

Come on, girl. Come on, girl.

Come here. Okay, Taylor.

Now it's your turn.

Just how we practiced.

Good.

Now sh**t.

Way to go. Yeah.

And guess

who got it all on tape?

Okay, you two. Time to go in.

Mom's got dinner...

[video glitching]

[video turns off]

Hey, Kev?

Kevin?

-[somber music playing]

-[keyboard clacking]

All right, you go up there,

and I'll try to get him

from down here.

[boy] I got this. I got this.

Okay, right here. Right here.

[g*nf*re on video game]

-I got it, yeah.

-[boy] Whoa!

Hey, bud. Can you pause

that for a second?

I need your help downstairs.

-Come on, Dad. I'm streaming.

-Come on!

I'll get abused in chat.

What's the big deal?

It's just a game, all right?

Just press pause,

come downstairs, and help me.

The old camera's

not working right.

I told you this, Dad.

You can't just pause a stream.

If I'm streaming,

people from all over the world

are watching me play.

So when you busted

into my room like that,

you embarrassed me

in front of... 1,200 people?

That's the highest

I've ever had!

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, and congratulations?

Look, it's off now,

so what do you say

you come downstairs,

and be the tech guru

that I know and love?

All right, but next time,

when you see the sign,

just text me

and I'll run an ad or something.

And what makes you think

I know anything

about that old thing?

I was born with Blu-ray.

[whispers] Blu-ray.

[in normal voice] Do you know

what's wrong with the tape?

It just keeps breaking.

It's a tape.

That's what's wrong with it.

No one uses tapes anymore.

I don't think people used tapes

when you shot this.

Right, so you're saying

it can't be fixed?

It's old. I can't fix it.

But I can save it.

How?

Well, you can make it digital.

-Uh-huh.

-[doorbell rings]

You know what?

It sounds like you got this.

-Mr. Keenan?

-Yes?

Your daughter was caught

trying to steal a case of beer

from the liquor store.

[Roy] g*dd*mn it, Taylor.

Again?

They aren't gonna

press charges, sir.

But we wanted

to make sure you knew.

Well, I appreciate that,

officer. Thank you.

Don't let this happen again,

sweetheart. Next time,

you might not be so lucky.

-[officer] Good night, sir.

-Good night, officer.

[door closes]

Okay, I'm sorry, Dad.

Well, what do you want me to do?

They won't sell it to me.

You're not funny.

And there is definitely

nothing funny about being

brought home by the cops.

How do you think

this makes us feel?

I thought I had finally found

the date that you'd approve of.

What's going on, Roy?

You have to stop

pretending the rules

don't apply to you, Taylor.

You're not a child anymore.

The next time this happens,

they're gonna

put you behind bars.

If that's what it's gonna take

for you to learn your lesson,

then I'm gonna leave you there.

Oh, my God, Dad.

It's not even

that big of a deal.

Get up to your room now.

Your father and I need to talk.

Go.

What is wrong with you two?

[pop music playing

over phone]

Can't believe

this is going on

Hiding every day

Just to avoid you

You know, if she thinks

for one second that we're going

to pay for her college

so she can keep

acting like this, she's got

another thing coming.

You know, I'm not gonna piss off

more money for less supervision!

I mean,

she wasn't always like this.

This is not our fault.

Honey, this... [chuckles]

We are not the first parents

to go through this crap.

I know.

-And we are certainly

not going to be the last.

-I know.

We just need to stay strong

and remind her that her actions

have consequences,

you know, consequences

that may not always be obvious.

Well, in case

you haven't noticed,

listening to us

or anything we have to say,

is not a special skill of hers.

-No, it's not.

-Mm-mm.

We just need to get

her away from all

of these bad influences.

Hmm.

How?

Why don't we go away tomorrow?

I mean, it would do

the whole family some good.

Okay.

-Okay?

-Yeah, we need this.

Let's do it.

Okay.

-[keyboard clacking]

-Oh, you're so getting lucky.

[ominous music playing]

[Linda sobbing]

I don't hear you. Where are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

[footsteps approaching]

Don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me.

What are you doing?

What is that?

What is that? What is that?

[Linda screaming and crying]

Please.

[suspenseful music playing]

[screaming]

[bones cracking]

[Roy] Okay, Keenan family.

Time to get up. We're here.

[easy-listening music

playing on speakers]

So this area was where

our sports complex

and infamous hot tub

for romantic getaways

such as yours, was located.

But sadly, this outside portion

of our little establishment

is closed due to maintenance,

but lucky for you,

our honeymoon suite...

-[keyboard clacking]

-Mm.

...which is available,

has its very own Jacuzzi.

We'll take it.

You didn't even ask me.

We'll take it.

I like you two.

And don't even get me started

about the massaging

shower heads.

Whoo! [chuckling]

Hey!

Oh. Well, I'll just let you two

discover that on your own.

So let's call it, uh,

$200 for the evening?

Uh...

-Excellent.

-[bell ringing]

Bobby!

[rock music playing

over speakers]

[men speaking indistinctly]

Tomorrow is going to be

a few hours to Philadelphia.

And we bring the rental

back to the airport

in New Jersey on Tuesday.

Correct.

Who cares?

First to Eleven is going

to be amazing. [chuckles]

Wait, you two

know First to Eleven?

Of course.

They're the only Americans

who know how to make music.

We came here just to see them.

[Taylor chuckles]

I didn't know

they had so many fans.

I had tickets

to go this weekend,

but my parents are assholes,

so I can't go now

because we are here.

[Taylor chuckles]

I'm really jealous

you guys are going.

Well, you should be.

It's going to be sweet.

Oh, stop. Don't be

so insensitive

to this lovely mademoiselle.

What is your name?

Taylor.

Well, Taylor.

it is great to meet you.

I am Theo.

This is my friend Louis.

Hello.

I love your guys' accents.

They're French, right?

[Theo speaking French]

This lovely lady needs a drink.

Welcome to the Pines,

the pearl of Pennsylvania.

Your very own personal paradise.

[easy-listening music

playing on speakers]

So how can I help you today?

Uh, we are the Keenans.

My wife Elaine made

the reservation yesterday.

-Keenan?

-But I think there was a problem

with the credit card.

We never got the confirmation.

Oh, yes.

We've been having issues.

Well, let's see,

and there it is.

One room, four guests

under the name Elaine Keenan.

I just need to see some form

of identification, please.

Oh, sure. Of course.

Uh...

-There you go.

-Ah, yes. That's good.

-Thank you.

-Perfect. And here you go.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I hope this isn't a problem.

Uh, but because of construction,

our credit system is down.

I never really trusted

all of this...

high-tech stuff anyway.

-[mouthing] You have cash?

-It's always causing problems.

Wait, so that means no Wi-Fi.

Oh, buddy. Yeah.

I'm sorry about that,

little guy.

No Wi-Fi here. I'm sorry.

But this inn is

about spending quality time

with the people that you love

because you never know

just how limited that time is.

Exactly. See, this is

just what we need, all right?

[Roy chuckles]

-Cash will be fine.

-Excellent.

[Taylor & Theo laughing]

Let me take a picture of you.

Pose for me.

-Perfect.

-[giggling]

Take one with me.

[camera clicks]

And now just me.

-[cell phone buzzing]

-[camera clicks]

[Taylor] Oh, no.

So are you guys

staying at the hotel?

We are staying in Room 207,

if you would like

to meet up later.

Not sure if you smoke,

but we do.

207. Sounds like a nice room.

[cell phone buzzing]

[sighs]

sh*t, it's my mom again.

I gotta go.

207. I won't forget.

Maybe I'll see you later?

Maybe you will.

Hey, Mom. I'm coming. I'm com--

Oh, you're leaving so soon?

But we're on vacation.

Oh, I could really use a drink.

Sit down.

You know, you could at least,

like, give me a little bit

of a heads up or something

before taking off

like that, Taylor.

I barely even went anywhere.

There's literally nothing

to do here anyway.

Where could I possibly be?

What could possibly

happen to me?

You know that your dad and I

worry a lot about you,

and I would really like

to do that just, like,

a little bit less.

Nicole... you left

your beer at the bar.

Can I get you anything?

Sure.

I'll have what she's having.

Well, she is having

our Cattoberfest.

-Mm.

-Mm-hm.

It's an IPA. Slightly hoppy.

-It's good head--

-Perfect.

We also have

a Full Moon you might like.

It's full-bodied.

Really grips you.

No, that's great.

Thank you so much.

Okay, all right. I like a woman

that knows what she wants.

I see you brought your fake ID.

Taylor, I know how this goes.

You are not gonna have

to buy yourself another drink

for the rest of your life

if you don't want to.

Where do you think

you get that power from?

Listen, I don't care

if you drink, okay?

But I do care if you get drunk

or if you try to steal it.

I cannot stop you

from having fun,

and you know what?

Honey, I don't want to.

I just really want you

to be careful.

Okay. I get it, Mom.

[Mark] All right.

I added it to Frenchy's tab.

I don't think he's gonna notice.

-Why, thank you.

-Can I get you anything else?

-Uh, no, thanks.

-All right.

Well, I just wanna make sure

you're taken care of.

I'm all taken care of.

All right.

Well, I'll be right over there.

I'm Mark.

I'll just be at the bar.

Okay. Bye-bye, now.

What is going on right now?

Guess I still got it.

Come on, you didn't think

I noticed them

when we walked in?

They're really cute.

Okay, see?

This place isn't half bad,

now is it?

It doesn't matter

how cute they are

when my mom

is sitting here

drinking with me.

I know you've been going

through a lot lately.

I get it, okay?

But your dad and I

are trying really, really hard.

I mean, when's the last time

he took off work to spend

a little time with just us?

Just cut him

a little bit of slack, please?

It's just one weekend.

I can only drink so much.

Cheers.

Nicole.

-You little b*tch.

-Mm!

[door unlocks,

then car alarm chirps]

[car door opens]

[ominous music playing]

[shouts]

[sobbing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door handle clicking]

[grunts]

[groans]

[panting and sobbing]

[screaming]

[clicks tongue]

Hi.

Hello.

Who are you?

Where's Mrs. Spring?

I'm guessing you must be, uh...

Mr. Conrad.

-No.

-Uh--

Hansen. In for Conrad.

Oh.

Right. I see.

Lucky you.

I'm Mr. Lockwood.

I'm guessing Linda

didn't mention anything about me

taking up some of the slack

after all the recent changes.

Well, no.

She didn't say anything to me.

-Mm.

-Sorry.

[chuckles] It's no problem.

In fact, she's still here,

in the back.

If you come over

to the side door,

I'm sure she'd

be glad to see you.

[ominous music playing]

-Good.

-Great.

Hey, Dad, look at that camera.

Isn't it cool?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, nice camera.

The best.

[Kevin] Is it wireless?

Yep. Just easier that way.

Just need some power.

How do you do that?

I thought

there wasn't any Wi-Fi.

Well, there isn't.

Not for the guests, anyway.

We do have

a business to run here.

-[dramatic music playing]

-[grunts]

What the f*ck?

-You okay?

-[Howard] What f*cking as*h*le

puts a f*cking ladder

in the middle

of a f*cking hallway?

I wanna tell you something.

This f*cking hotel sucks

camel c*ck.

And that shouldn't surprise

anybody, because you know what?

There ain't no

Internet service here.

None at all.

Being at this hotel is like

getting f*cked in the a*s

by the Oakland Raiders,

wherever the f*ck

they're from now.

Who knows? Hey, hey, hey.

Speaking of getting

f*cked in the a*s,

I think the guy who sold me

this beer wants

to f*ck me in the a*s.

[laughing] I might let him.

I'm sorry.

You have a little boy.

I shouldn't talk--

Talk like that.

f*cking seltzer.

[ominous music playing]

[grunts]

-The hell's going on--? Oh!

-[thuds]

[key card reader beeps,

then door unlocks]

Oh, it's so cute.

Cozy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[bed springs squeaking]

[Taylor] Yay.

I get to share a bed

with the hyperactive monkey

all weekend.

Can you just at least

take your shoes off?

Taylor, remember

what we talked about?

[video game beeping]

Kevin, what did we talk about

before we left the house?

No video games on this trip.

Exactly. This is a family trip

meant to be spent

with the family.

Yes.

Put it away, please. Thank you.

Great.

And now there's no service.

Just when I thought this place

couldn't get any worse.

This is a dream come true.

Boo, Taylor.

Seriously, when did you become

such a Debbie Downer?

I mean,

remember that one summer?

You had so much fun here.

Remember?

-Mm-hm.

-We went to the park all day,

and then Mrs. Spring

brought you to the roof,

and you looked at the stars.

It was just--

It was really perfect.

Park? What park?

I don't remember that.

Okay, all right.

It's time to get

a little shut-eye.

-Yes.

-[Roy] All right?

Tomorrow's a new day,

and I have a lot of plans

for this family.

-Dad, what park?

-[Roy] Should I--?

Should I tell him?

You can tell him. It's okay.

Well, let's just say

-we're not going to the zoo.

-Mm-mm.

What are those?

These are VIP express passes

to Ultimate Universe.

Ultimate Universe?

Yes!

Oh, my God.

-[Kevin] You're the best, Dad.

-I know, right?

Taylor, you taking notes?

Oh, come on, Taylor. Really?

The last time we came here,

you couldn't get enough

of this place.

Remember, you had us riding

each ride at least two--

-Three.

-Three times.

Yeah, when I was 10.

Well, I'm 11, and I'm excited.

[Roy] Me too.

Could you at least, like,

pretend to have a good time?

For your brother's sake?

And for my sanity?

[Roy] Ultimate.

For the love of...

[both chanting]

Ultimate Universe.

Ultimate Universe.

Ultimate Universe.

[Bobby] I got this, all right?

-I told you we need a dolly.

-[sighs]

[door opens]

sh*t. Lockwood,

what's the deal with this guy?

He's a janitor.

He wasn't even

on the shift schedule.

Yeah, I know who he is, okay?

You really shouldn't be

doing this. You know, we--

You know what?

I don't wanna know.

Just-- I don't care.

I don't care.

-Just leave me out of this.

-Look, I wanna use him later.

Will you at least help us

carry him downstairs?

No, no, no. You know I don't

get involved in this part.

Come-- What the hell is that?

This one's just

malfunctioning a little bit.

-There's no time to fix it.

-Malfunctioning?

Don't worry about it.

I covered everywhere else.

No one's gonna complain.

They better not.

If they do, it's on you.

I know the drill.

-Good.

-Now, where's my money?

Can we talk outside? Okay.

Bobby, you think

you can take care of this, huh?

Uh, tie him up.

In a chair.

Tight.

-Go on. Let's go!

-You got my money, right?

[grunting]

Ed, how many times

do I have to tell you

don't bring up money

in front of the other workers?

You make more than they do.

Yeah, so you say.

Drive safe.

It's there.

as*h*le.

-Okay.

-[keypad beeping]

-[door locks]

-[shouts]

Yes!

Showtime!

[arcade games beeping]

[grunts]

All right.

[grunts]

That should do it.

Oh, come on.

[arcade game beeping]

You're a genius, Mark.

[joints crack]

-Take this for a test drive.

-[buttons clicking]

All right.

Nice.

Come at me like that

any time you want, baby.

You're dealing

with the Mark Man.

I know your patterns, babe.

I know your patterns.

You can't fool me.

So predictable,

you 16-bit b*tch, huh?

Hey, bro. Arcade's closed.

I'm just doing

a little maintenance.

That's right.

That's right.

You want me, huh?

All right, you feel that?

That's Mark.

You feel me pressing

your buttons? You like that?

You like that

I'm making love to you, huh?

I'm making love to you.

That's it, baby. Ha, ha!

Hey, come on, man.

Move it along.

This ain't Halloween.

Freako.

Yeah. Come on.

Bro, you're really starting

to freak me out, all right?

I can feel you over my shoulder.

I don't need a lunatic

breathing all over my neck,

all right? I'm going

for a high score.

Huh?

Seriously.

-[arcade game beeping]

-Oh!

You totally screwed up

my high score.

Whatever.

This game sucks anyway.

[dramatic music playing]

[Mark shouting]

No. Please. Please.

No.

No! No!

[Mark shouting]

Please.

f*ck you.

No!

[screaming]

Please!

[screaming]

[screaming]

[Roy snoring]

[rock music playing faintly

on headphones]

[ominous music playing]

[rock music playing

over speakers]

[speaking French]

Oh, look who it is.

Well, everyone else fell asleep,

so I figured

I had no other choice.

Are you sure

you wanna do that in here?

Of course I am.

I'm saying that there are

usually smoke detectors

in places like this.

Really?

Yeah. Welcome

to America, dumbass.

[laughs] Oh, she got you.

[Louis] All right, fine.

This sh*t don't make any smoke.

Want some?

I have an idea.

Why don't we just go to the roof

and smoke there and not set

any smoke detectors off?

Ah, f*ck that.

I love it.

Let's go.

[dance music playing

in distance]

[indistinct chatter in distance]

[Roy snoring]

[woman] Sarah! Sarah.

-Sarah.

-[groans]

[whispering] Roy.

Roy, wake up.

Roy.

What?

Hey, what's all this noise

next door?

I don't want it

to wake up the kids.

Go back to sleep.

They're probably just a bunch

of kids screwing around.

I don't care.

It's after midnight.

Go over there

and tell them to shut up.

[woman laughing in distance]

[music volume increases]

[man] Shh, shh.

Get down, get down. Shh.

-May I help you?

-Hi. Yeah. My family and I

are trying to get

some sleep next door,

and it's a little loud in here.

Would you mind

taking it down a little bit?

-We have an early day tomorrow.

-Yes. Sorry.

We were playing a few

drinking games and Michelle

fell off the bed.

Sorry, mister,

but it was pretty funny.

Keep it down.

All right. Thank you.

So how did you know

about this place?

Well, I've been here before.

The old lady who works here

showed me once when I was a kid.

Hmm.

Ladies first.

[chuckles] What a gentleman.

-[woman moaning]

-[water splashing]

[ominous music playing]

Oh, yes.

[continues moaning]

You're f*cking amazing.

[continues moaning]

-[screams] Oh, my God.

-Yo, what are you doing?

Get the f*ck out of my room!

What are you, deaf?

I said get the f*ck out!

[ominous music playing]

[screaming]

Get away from me!

[screaming]

No, no, no!

[screaming]

[gasping]

No!

[woman screaming]

[screams] Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

[woman sobbing]

No!

[screaming]

Someone, please help me!

[screaming]

Get away from me!

No! No! No!

No!

Help me, please!

[door slams]

-[key reader beeps]

-We're not allowed to--

What are you guys doing up?

Are they still

making noise next door?

It's Taylor. She snuck out.

Oh. You know, I bet she's with

those two guys she met earlier.

This girl is gonna be

the death of me.

You know what?

I will go downstairs

and find out

what room they are in.

Where do you think you're going?

You coming with?

Yeah, it's fine.

All right. A little quality

family bonding time.

Kev, put pants on.

[pop music playing]

You know, this is probably

one of the best views

I've ever seen.

I'm glad you showed me.

Yeah. It really is something,

isn't it?

I used to love

this view as a kid.

[pensive music playing]

You know how things are just

different when you're younger?

When you're small,

it feels like three flights

of stairs gets you

to the top of the world.

Uh, so,

what's with your boyfriend?

Why is he being such a d*ck?

Wait, he is not my boyfriend.

I am not h*m*.

Relax, Frenchie. It's a joke.

Well, this really is one of the

best views I've ever seen.

Okay, come on.

We're on a hotel roof

in Pennsylvania.

There are stars.

I'm not looking at the stars.

I got one for you.

What do you call a fish

with two [grunts] legs?

-Mm.

-A "two-knee" fish.

Get it? "Two-knee" fish?

Wow, I got one.

-Knock, knock.

-Who's there?

A terrible sister.

A terrible sister, who?

-Taylor.

-[chuckles]

Yeah, I'd have to agree

with you right about now.

[bell ringing]

Hello?

Where is everybody?

Maybe outside.

Okay. Let's go check outside.

sh*t.

-Language, Dad.

-Yeah.

What the hell is going on?

[ominous music playing]

[knocking on door]

Roy? Is that you?

[ominous music playing]

[knocking on door]

Oh, my God.

Would it have been so hard

for you to bring

your damn room key?

[groans]

Jesus.

Kev?

Honey, is that you?

Is anyone there?

[gasps]

You know, it's not funny.

If you kids

don't knock this sh*t off,

I'm calling down

to the front desk.

All right. Assholes.

[sighs]

[key reader beeps,

then door opens]

Oh, I'm glad you guys are back.

You wouldn't believe

what these kids next door were--

[ominous music playing]

Babe?

-Uh, can I help you?

-[Roy] Hi.

I'm really sorry

for bothering you so late,

but I'm looking for my daughter.

-She's 16 years old.

-Seventeen.

[Roy] She's 17 years old.

Uh, she has dark hair,

she's about your height.

She has a rock 'n' roll

T-shirt on.

Hoodie.

A hoodie.

-Any chance you've seen her?

-No.

No. What about a couple

of foreigners?

They were down in the lobby.

I think they had French accents.

I was down there

-looking for Mr. Lockwood.

-I'm sorry, I don't know

who you're talking about.

And I haven't seen Mr. Lockwood

since I checked in. Good night.

-Good night. Thank you.

-[door locks]

-Rude.

-Yeah.

I know the boys

you're referring to.

They're in the room next to me.

I couldn't sleep at all

between the smells and the sound

of their stupid accents.

Oh, okay.

-What room are you in?

209. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Come on.

[David] I'm David Burnham.

Roy Keenan. Nice to meet you.

-This is my son, Kevin.

-Hi, Kevin.

Nice to meet you.

Any chance you saw

my girl up there?

Can't say that I did.

Can't imagine

she'd be anywhere else, though.

I came down for a smoke,

wanted to go outside,

but I couldn't get out

the f*cking door.

I'm sorry, Kevin.

Yeah, we were

in the lobby earlier,

and everything's locked up.

Well, it's not just a lobby.

Every door in this damn place

is that way.

I tried them all.

So, we're trapped?

Well, I'm not saying that.

It's just that

it's just a little weird.

No Internet to use.

Is there a phone in your room?

There's nothing in mine.

Do we have a phone?

I'm not sure.

I think Mom tried to use it,

but it didn't work.

I couldn't find

that Lockwood guy

or anyone else to let me out.

So f*ck them.

[dramatic music playing]

[gasping and grunting]

[screams]

[shouts]

[groaning]

[coughing]

[groans]

[gasps]

[flesh slicing]

[ominous music playing]

[cheerful chimes

playing on speakers]

Elaine.

Keenan.

Bye-bye.

[computer beeping]

[pop music playing]

Hey, why don't we

get out of here?

-I'd love that.

-Okay. Um--

Let's just go.

Let's leave tonight

before my parents wake up

and realize I'm gone.

Wait, what?

The concert.

Let's just go, you and me.

Okay, well, we could...

-sh*t.

-What?

I don't have a ticket.

You only have two.

Yeah, but, uh...

Oh, f*ck it.

Louis won't mind.

He likes to wander, anyway.

Really?

-I mean, I think he'll mind.

-Whatever. Let's go.

What are you doing?

Leaving.

The quickest way between

two points is a straight line.

Plus, I do not want to run into

my parents or your friend.

Taylor?

Taylor, open up.

Taylor, this is your father.

Open the door!

Maybe she went back to the room.

For her sake, I hope she did.

-Come on, let's go check.

-She's so dead.

[Roy] You're right.

She is so dead.

[classical music playing

over speakers]

[Oswald grunting]

-[remote beeps and music stops]

-Hold it.

I'm sorry, Ozzy.

The music, I didn't hear you.

What's that?

[groans, then sobbing]

Oh, okay.

You promise

not to scream, chubs?

Pinky swear?

Okay.

[groans]

You okay?

Please.

I'm begging you.

Don't do this.

I won't say a word.

It'll just be our little secret.

Hmm.

I, uh--

I can help you.

Really?

Yeah.

I can help you.

Please...

just listen to reason.

[clicks tongue]

-No, I'm good.

-Oh, please, God, no!

-[dramatic music playing]

-[grunting]

-Say cheese.

-[camera beeping]

I wanna show you something.

[cabinet opens]

Look at that.

That's some real

craftsmanship right there.

[Oswald groans]

[suspenseful music playing]

Toro.

-What?

-[sobbing]

-[stabbing noises]

-[Oswald shouting]

Out of the game, Ozzy!

-Wanna hear a joke?

-Huh?

Wanna hear a joke?

No, not right now, buddy.

I'm not in the mood.

[ominous music playing]

Elaine?

Dad, is everything okay?

I don't know, buddy.

No, no, no.

I want you to stay right here.

Honey?

Oh, my God, Elaine!

Elaine! Oh, my God.

Honey, wake up.

Wake up, baby. Wake up.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no.

[sobbing] Wake up.

Stay with me, please.

Who did this to you?

-Dad?

-Kevin, do not come

in this room!

Dad, is Mom okay?

Kevin, I told you to stay

in that other room!

Just do as I say, Kevin!

Don't leave me.

[grunting]

[keypad beeping]

[cell phone beeping]

[shouts]

[screams]

What's going on, Dad?

Where's Mom?

Buddy,

you gotta listen to me, okay?

You gotta do everything

I ask you to do, all right?

-You understand? Take this.

-Okay.

Look at me.

Now we need to find

your sister, okay?

Okay?

-You understand?

-Okay.

Good.

-No! Back off!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Take it easy, man.

What's going on?

I don't f*cking know.

And I don't know

who the f*ck you are either!

Just take it easy, take it easy.

I'll tell you who I am.

I'll get my wallet.

Just relax now.

Retired, LAPD.

I was on the force for 25 years.

So take a deep breath

and tell me what's going on.

We should go to my room.

Come with me.

[key reader beeps,

then door unlocks]

Come on in.

Stay here.

Come with me, Kevin.

Why don't you hop up there?

Okay, you stay right here,

little guy,

and play your game.

My dad said no video games.

I'm sure he'll let it

slide this time.

Besides, rules

are made to be broken.

[somber music playing]

My--

My wife is dead.

I'm sorry, man.

Dave, I don't know

what else to do.

I'm just, you know, trying

to hold it together for Kevin.

I don't know

how much longer I can do this.

Did you find your daughter?

No.

[sobbing]

No.

I don't know where she is.

I knew something

was f*cked up around here.

Okay, hold on,

I'm gonna get us

some protection.

[upbeat music playing

on video game]

[Dave sighs]

Never leave home without her.

Okay, now, we gotta go

find your daughter.

I know it's hard,

but you can't think of

anything else but that.

Oh, my God.

What if my baby girl

is dead too?

I get it, Roy.

I have a daughter.

I lost her once.

She ran off as soon

as she was old enough.

That's why I'm here, I mean.

I'm on my way to Philly

to attend her wedding.

A wedding that

I wasn't even invited to.

You have to stay strong

for your kids, man.

You can't put a price on life.

You have to appreciate

every moment you have with them,

as little or as much

as it may be.

We're gonna find her.

Yeah. You're right.

I need to leave Kevin here,

where he's safe.

Yeah.

And then you and I need

to figure out what the hell's

going on around here.

Good.

Hey, Kevin.

I need you to stay here

and play your video games, okay?

Can you do that for me?

Me and Mr. Burnham

are gonna go downstairs

and find your sister.

Kevin?

Hey, Kevin.

I need you

to listen to me, okay?

I'm serious.

All right? I need you

to lock that door

and put the chain on it.

Do not open it

for anybody but me.

Do you understand me?

Say, "I understand."

-I understand.

-Good. All right.

Do you remember

our special knock?

Okay, good.

[Dave] Come on, Roy.

All right, good.

Good boy. I love you.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Lock the door.

[door locks]

[pop music playing on stereo]

[music volume decreases]

I might have to move

to America now

if I don't want to hear

sh*t from Louis

for the rest of my life.

What is the matter?

You wanted to do this.

Yeah.

I just know my parents

haven't been happy with me.

I mean, they're going to turn

my house into a prison

when they find out about this.

They were so excited

to take us on this stupid trip.

I'm sure

you've snuck out before,

so this is no different.

I don't know. I mean...

you didn't see his face,

how excited he was

when he showed us the tickets.

Well, I can assure you,

these tickets are much better.

Yeah.

I guess.

-[Roy] Do you see anything?

-No, nothing.

No sign of Lockwood anywhere.

Let's go.

Do you think he's dead too?

Wouldn't surprise me

if that crazy b*stard

was in on this.

We need to knock

on these doors then.

We gotta let these people

know what's going on.

-No, not happening.

-Why not?

We can't trust anybody here.

Any one of them

could be in on this.

Whatever this is.

[Roy] I just need to find

my daughter.

I need to know that she's safe.

[Dave] Yeah, we will. We will.

Look, I know it's not

the same thing,

but there was

a similar situation...

back in Glendale.

Residents

in an apartment building

were trapped inside

and slaughtered one by one.

It was like some kind

of a competition

because there was no motive

and each instance

was more creative than the last.

What the hell

is going on around here?

Oh, sh*t!

He's got a g*n.

What's going on?

I got news for you guys.

We are f*cked.

I can't open any f*cking doors.

I've thrown chairs at it.

I've thrown sofas at it.

There's no way

to get the f*ck out of here.

I don't know what's going on.

We gotta get your people.

We gotta go.

I'm gonna get my wife. Donna!

I gotta get my wife.

Donna!

Howard! Howard!

Donna!

Where have you been, Donna?

We are f*cked.

We can't get out of here.

We're trapped, baby.

We're trapped.

What the hell are you doing?

Where have you been?

Are you drinking?

No, I'm not drinking.

These guys gave this to me.

Shut up. Okay, you're drunk.

Come to bed now.

Don't yell at me

in front of my friends, okay?

-They're my friends.

-No, they're not

your f*cking friends.

You're embarrassing me

right now.

[Howard laughing]

Come on, we can have a party.

Guy with a g*n

and the other guy's got

a little boy.

I don't give a f*ck who

they are. You get back

to the room right now.

[Lockwood on PA] Good evening,

ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sure you're all wondering,

"What is going on?"

Luckily, you have me here

to fill you in.

Two of our guests,

Mr. Keenan and Mr. Burnham,

have had a little head start

on the fun.

But for the rest of you,

please allow me

to enlighten you.

Tonight, we are running

a game of sorts.

A game that each of you

have unknowingly signed up for

when checking in

to this fine establishment.

Gotta read those

terms and conditions.

[man]

What the hell is going on here?

I was trying to sleep.

Who the hell are you?

I'm John. Who the f*ck are you?

Get that g*dd*mn thing

out of my face

if you know what's good for you.

Our game, I admit,

is a rather unusual one,

but I can assure you that

it will be far more entertaining

than anything you have

ever been a part of before.

Also, I would be remiss

if I didn't welcome

our four all-stars

to tonight's festivities.

It is indeed an honor

to have them here

with us tonight,

and I can't wait

for all of you to meet them.

So buckle up.

Warm-ups are over,

ladies and gents.

Let's play ball!

-Jesus.

-sh*t.

-What's happening?

-I am not sure.

Everyone, we should stay close.

Right.

Everyone, stay close together.

[Donna screams]

-[Howard] Donna, no!

-Calm down.

-[glass breaks]

-Someone is here.

-sh**t it.

-sh**t what? I can't see sh*t.

[sobbing]

I can't do this. Please.

I can't do this.

[Howard groaning]

[suspenseful music playing]

sh**t them!

sh**t them for chrissake!

[shouts]

f*ck this sh*t!

[screaming]

Please! Stop! Don't!

Please! Please! Stop!

[shouting]

[Amy screaming]

[bones cracking]

What are you doing?

We gotta help him.

Are you out of your mind?

You got kids, man.

[cheerful chimes

playing on speakers]

[cheerful chimes

playing on speakers]

[whistling]

Points...

Three hundred.

[continues whistling]

[computer alarm beeping]

What is this?

-[alarm stops]

-[keyboard clacking]

What the hell?

[ominous music playing]

[Louis] What the f*ck?

[Louis groans]

[screams]

What the f*ck?

No! No!

Stop!

[Louis groaning]

[bones cracking]

[coughing]

[shouts]

[keyboard clacking]

Oh. [chuckles]

Okay.

Well, well, well.

Gotcha.

Hello, Kevin.

-Mr. Lockwood?

-Yeah.

Wow, you're a clever little boy,

aren't you?

No one hacks into my system.

I guess I have to make a note

about little prepubescent shits

like you.

What's going on?

Where's my family?

[laughing]

There's an old saying, Kevin.

"Curiosity k*lled the cat."

Maybe you've heard it.

Although it doesn't really apply

in this situation

because your curiosity

has absolutely no bearing

on whether you live or you die,

just how painful

it's going to be.

Where's my dad?

Again, with the curiosity.

You're ever inquisitive,

aren't you?

The world needs more of that.

But you're asking

the wrong questions.

What you should be asking, son,

is whether or not

your mother is safe.

[dramatic music playing]

All right, let's just go back

to the room.

I think they figured out

the power situation.

[gentle music

playing in distance]

What's that noise?

Guys, look.

Wow, what the f*ck

have we been drinking?

-[music stops]

-[all laughing]

Kind of kinky.

You got that right.

You two are such skanks.

[ominous music playing]

[music resumes]

Guys...

La, la-la, la

La, la...

I don't think

they're here to party.

La, la, la

La, la-la, la

La, la, la, la, la

-La, la, la..

-[alarm ringing]

What the f*ck?

Guys, let's just stay close.

[all screaming]

[music box winding]

[gentle music

playing on music box]

[suspenseful music playing]

-What the f*ck?

-[screams]

Michelle!

[screaming]

[sobbing]

Michelle! Come on! Please!

Please...

[woman screaming]

[screaming]

[whistles]

[whistles]

Please don't k*ll me.

Please.

Please, please.

Please.

Please don't, stop.

[crying]

[shouting]

Please, please, no, please.

[screaming]

Please. Please...

Please...

-Shh.

-[Sebastian] Stop.

Please...

No, no, no.

[shouting]

Please.

[grunting]

Please, please.

Kid, oh my God.

-Where are your parents?

-My mom is upstairs.

I need to find her.

No, we're not going up there.

We have to get out of here.

Oh, f*ck me!

Who is that?

Come on, hurry, kid!

-Hey, he's coming!

-Go, go!

Come on, kid, move! Fast!

-Open the door!

-He's coming! He's coming!

Go!

-Open up, please!

-He's coming! We gotta go!

Please!

He's coming! He's right there!

-Help us!

-He's right there! We gotta go!

Come on! Hurry!

Run!

[Sebastian groaning]

[gurgling]

[Sebastian groaning

and shouting]

[cheerful chimes

playing on speakers]

Come on! Open up! Open up!

Oh, my God! Open up!

Come on! Oh, my God!

Please, open up!

[screaming]

Please stay away!

Stay back!

-No, please.

-I'm warning you, stay back!

-Stay back!

-Please, no!

[elevator bell chimes]

[screaming]

[Sarah] No!

[upbeat pop music playing

over speakers]

[Lockwood laughing]

The brother-sister duo

have brought

their hay game tonight.

So much flair.

They're really wracking up

those style points.

This could be a major upset.

[laughing]

I don't see anybody.

Yeah, let's go.

I'm not so sure

that's a good idea.

I'm not just gonna sit here

while the rest of my family

gets k*lled.

I need to find my son.

Mind if I hang on to this?

If any of these freaks

try to hurt my kids, I want

to be the one to k*ll them.

-Yeah, suit yourself.

-Good.

[elevator bell chimes]

[grunts]

[ominous music playing]

[shouting]

[screams]

[screaming]

Get off me!

Oh, my God.

[grunting]

[screaming]

Get off me!

Get off!

[sobbing]

-[gasping, then screams]

-[flesh slicing]

Kevin!

Come on! 207, 208, 209! Kevin!

-Where is he?

-I don't know.

I told him to stay here.

Damn it,

I told him not to leave!

[tablet cracks]

Oh, sh*t! Kevin! Kevin!

[dramatic music playing]

[gasping]

[groans]

[Roy coughing]

[groaning]

[coughing]

-No. Don't! No, no, don't!

-[g*nshots]

[Roy groaning]

What if that

would have fell on me?

I thought it was a gamble

you'd be willing to take.

[suspenseful music playing]

[shouts]

[computer]

Attempted security breach.

All players must report

to disturbance.

Amber light trail activated.

[door opens]

Kind of strange

you held your locks

to your lobby doors at night.

Can't believe you wanted

to come back here.

I really can't believe

I actually brought you.

Yeah, well, tonight's

just been full of surprises,

hasn't it been?

I know.

What's with the lights?

-What is going on?

-[ominous music playing]

Oh. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

What is that?

-Oh, my God!

-We need to get out of here.

Oh, sh*t! sh*t!

[dramatic music playing]

-Whoa! Double k*ll.

-[cheerful chimes

playing on speakers]

Eliminated.

[alarm beeping]

Kevin! [coughs] Kevin!

Shh. You know

everybody know we're here?

I know.

But these are my kids, Dave.

And I'd rather these freaks

know where I am than they are.

What?

sh**t him! Dave, sh**t him!

-What are you doing?

-I have secured my win.

My work here is done.

Sorry, Roy.

It's time for me to get

the f*ck out of this place.

You don't have to do this.

Oh, but I do.

You see,

you can put a price on life.

In this case,

the price is pretty high.

Carry on.

[screaming]

[coughs]

That's it.

Oh, yeah. [chuckles] This is it.

[coughing]

Yes! I'm in.

Okay, now, how do I

get the hell out of here?

Security access code.

It's got to be around

here somewhere.

[suspenseful music playing]

There's no way that old man

could remember on his own.

[Roy grunting]

Come on, Roy.

Your family's already dead.

Give it up.

Let me win this thing, Roy.

Come on,

there's no reason to fight.

Don't you let me down.

Come on.

What the...?

Where did it go?

Ah.

Ah, yes! [laughs]

Oh, I knew you wouldn't

let me down, Roy!

I'm gonna win this thing!

All right!

I finally get what I deserve!

They said I was crazy.

Uh-huh. Who's laughing now,

m*therf*ckers?

Lockwood.

You can't do this, man. The game

is over. My bets are in. I won.

Au contraire, Mr. Burnham.

You, my dear friend,

are still alive.

You cheated, Dave. You tried

to manipulate the game.

We have integrity here.

Bettors are never allowed

to interfere with the process.

You should have just

let the game play out, Dave.

But you, you just

couldn't do that, could you?

You know, I had my eye on you

from the moment you were put on

this case all those years ago.

Did you know that?

I can't believe you thought

I wouldn't notice

when you checked in.

-[knife slicing]

-[Dave shouting]

And you know what they do

with rats, don't you, Dave?

They exterminate them.

-[computer beeping]

-[drill whirring]

[drill turns off]

Wait a minute.

[Lockwood laughing]

Well, well, well.

How about that?

Hey, Dave!

Dave, you got to see this.

Look. Look!

Apparently, you wouldn't

have won anyway.

You underestimated the kid.

f*ck you.

No.

f*ck you.

[Dave screaming]

[dramatic music playing]

Okay, listen up.

We have one guest left,

and by my tally,

only two players

who can end this game.

So it is now

a one-on-one competition.

The player who kills the boy

will be awarded triple points.

Happy hunting!

Blood on the ground

means points on the board.

[elevator bell chimes]

[groaning]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Lockwood] Oh, my.

Someone is awfully warm.

And it's not you, player two.

[screams] Please don't!

Someone help me!

-Shh!

-Stop! Get off!

-Shh!

-Get off of me!

It's me. It's Dad.

Dad!

Buddy, you okay? Yeah.

All right, listen to me.

I need big boy Kevin

right now. Okay?

You and me,

we're getting out of here.

Where's Taylor?

I don't know.

Hopefully, she snuck out.

It's the first time

I've ever heard you say that.

Yeah. Yeah, right. Look,

it's just you and me

right now, okay?

How long can you hold

your breath? I need you

to play dead.

Can you do that for me? Yeah?

Okay. Go on.

Shh.

Holy sh*t.

Player 2! Player 2!

Player 1 is a fake! Do you read?

Player 1 is a fake!

k*ll them both!

[dramatic music playing]

-[knife stabbing]

-[screams]

[groans]

[Player 2 screaming]

No, no, no, no, no!

c*cksucker.

Touch, Roy.

Okay.

We're going to overtime.

[suspenseful music playing]

Come on. Come on,

come on, come on, come on.

[grunting]

Dad, the cart!

The cart.

Move. Move, move, move, move.

[shouts]

Damn it!

Dad?

Roy, Roy, Roy.

You...

You ruined everything.

-You know that?

-Stay behind me, Kevin.

You were supposed

to lose this game.

You cost a lot of people

a lot of money tonight, Roy.

And they are not happy about it.

And neither am I.

Please! Just let me

and my son leave.

Leave? No, you and your son

are never leaving here.

You have an audience, Roy. Look.

You see? There?

Huh?

You're a sick man.

Oh, come on.

Games are as old as the world.

[Roy] Run, Kevin!

What are you talking

about a game?

These are people's lives,

for chrissake.

[Lockwood] Oh, come on.

Pigs, cats, dogs, chickens,

monkeys, people.

What's the difference?

It's a sport.

It's the oldest sport.

It's in our nature.

Greeks, Romans, Aztecs,

Mongols, they all did it.

We do it. And now you.

Ah-ah, ah-ah.

Now you.

Joining that long history

because tonight, Roy,

you are a gladiator.

I can't say the same, though,

for your wife

or that hot little daughter

of yours.

Oh, well, we'll chalk that up

to survival of the fittest,

I guess, huh?

What do you say?

I know you're

a sentimental guy, Roy,

so it is a shame

that you will never see

the video of when they:

[gasping, then laughing]

Oh, well.

[suspenseful music playing]

Game over.

-Dad, are you okay?

-Yeah. Yeah, buddy. I'm okay.

Are you okay? Yeah?

Oh, come here.

I am so, so proud of you.

You are such a brave boy.

What do you say we go home, huh?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Let's go.

[spear stabbing]

-Kevin!

-No!

-It's okay. We're safe.

-Dad!

[Taylor] Oh, my God. Dad!

Dad! Dad!

You're okay, you're okay.

You're okay.

It's gonna be okay, honey.

No, Dad. Dad. Dad.

You were just looking out

for your brother.

No, no, please, please, please.

You're okay. Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

-It's okay. It's okay.

-[Taylor sobbing]

It's okay.

Dad, please, please,

don't leave me.

[Roy] Take--

-Take good care of each other.

-[Taylor] Dad, no!

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry for everything.

I love you too.

[somber music playing]

Kevin!

[suspenseful music playing]

The house always wins, b*tch.

[gasping]

Shh!

[shouts]

No more bets.

[pensive music playing]

[police sirens wailing]

I'm sorry your family

had to go through this

unspeakable night.

I can only imagine

what you're going through.

Just know, your father's a hero.

You're all heroes.

Detective! Detective!

I'll speak to you again soon.

Here you go, guys.

If you need anything else,

just let me know, okay?

-Thanks.

-Here you go, buddy.

[cheerful chimes

playing on phone]

[ominous music playing]

Shift change in five minutes.

[man] Good.

Everything's on schedule, sir.

Let's keep it that way.

Yes, sir.

Well, that was

really exciting, wasn't it?

Best form of entertainment

that money can buy.

Roy really did put up

quite a fight.

It's a shame we won't be able to

have him around for an encore.

But no worries.

I have something

truly extraordinary

in store for you, streamers.

I've always found hospitals

to be particularly depressing.

I say we do something

about that.

It's time

to spice things up a bit.

You know, they say that

one's true character

can be revealed in the face

of adversity.

And our program provides

plenty of adversity

with real consequences.

The decisions we make

last us a lifetime

and are remembered

long after we're gone.

We all love competition,

and we love this competition

more than any other.

It's what sells.

This game will be

the first of its kind,

and we are providing

ringside seats

with unprecedented access

and all the comforts of home.

We are all sullen survivors

scratching for a way

to get home.

Sometimes hiding in the shadows,

waiting for our golden moment.

[shouts]

Men and women, old and young,

who's to say whose life

is more valuable?

I say, let the struggle begin.

Or should I say,

"Let it continue"?

[upbeat pop music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

Jesus Christ!

-Mister! Please help me!

-All right! All right!

[screaming]

Stop it!

[man over speaker] Welcome.

How can I help you, Sofia?

-[man laughing]

-f*ck! f*ck!

[shouts]

-[grunts]

-Oh, nicely done.

-Now what?

-Why are you doing this?

Who are you people?

[Lockwood] I am the ringmaster

of this circus,

the pit boss of our little game.

But you, my dear,

can call me Lockwood.

But enough about me.

We wouldn't want

to upstage the talent.

[alarm buzzes]

I know how actors can be.

What is all this?

The Stream is everywhere.

You have no privacy.

You hardly have free will

at this point.

All of your intimate details

are being gathered and assessed,

used to manipulate you

for their gain.

[Lockwood] Your life is online,

and it all can be taken away

by the click of a mouse.

c*ck.

-Untie me!

-[Lockwood] That's enough!

Un-f*cking-tie me, you freaks!

[Lockwood]

What do you take me for, a fool?

I am no clown.

You know what needs to be done.

The spotlight is finally yours,

so take a bow.

-[electricity crackling]

-[groaning]

[Lockwood laughing]

Now, where was I?

Oh, the final act.

[Lockwood laughing]
