" Hey, there." " Hey." " It's good to see you guys again." " How was your drive out?" " Oh, it wasn't bad at all, Mr. Wilson." " Good, good, good." " Hi." " This your fiancée?" " This is my girlfriend, Laurie." " It's a pleasure to finally meet you both." " I've heard so much about you." " Nice meeting you." "You guys want to go in and see what you've gotten yourself into?" " Yeah, that sounds good." " Okay." "Let's go." "It's a really comfortable house." "I'm sure you're gonna like it." "Now, I know it's a fixer-upper, but you've got a really nice guy there, and you two can get it in shape in no time." "We'll be back monday to help you get started on things." "Let me show you the breaker I've been working on in the basement." "Laurie, why don't you let me show you around the house while the guys are finalizing things." "There you go, young man." "It's all yours." "Bye!" " Bye-bye." " Bye." "Come here." "Come here." "We did it, baby." "We bought the house." " No, you bought the house." " Oh, what?" "You don't like the house?" " I mean, I know it'll take some work..." " Hey, hey, hey." "I like the house." "It shows initiative." "Yeah." "Initiative." "Baby?" "Did you invite Mark over?" "Shit." "Yeah." "I forgot to tell the guys the place wouldn't be ready this weekend." "What?" "Who else did you invite?" "I thought this weekend was just for us." "Come on." "I'm not gonna send them back." "They drove 90 minutes to get here." "We're still unpacking, Hugh." " Dude!" "Nice pad, bro." " What's up, guys?" " What?" " This place is so serene." "Fuck!" "There's no service out here." "How the fuck am I supposed to facebook?" "Yeah, I brought my own camera." "I'm gonna take some awesome pics of the party tonight." "Oh... about that." "I forgot to tell Laurie you guys were coming, so be nice, okay?" " Yes, your royal majesty." " Thank you." "Hey, Amber." "Laurie's inside." "Bye, Amber." " Kenneth, what's up, man?" " Oh." "Nice place." " There's no cops for miles, right?" " Why do you think I got this place?" "Hey, guys." "Oh, Laurie." "Your house is so cool." "This would make a great sketch for my portfolio." " Do you mind?" " No." "Go ahead." "This place isn't cool." "It's creepy." "Why did Hugh pick this place, anyway?" "I don't know." "I mean, I told him to get a place away from the city, and he'd been looking at this one, but I didn't think he'd go through with it." "More like away from civilization." "Look, he's already got you in the kitchen." "Hey, does your cell work?" "No, but there's a landline right there, if you need to make a call." "Nah." "I guess I'll just have to party without internet." " What?" "A party?" " Yeah." "Hugh and Mark have been planning it all week." "Everyone's supposed to be here tonight." " He didn't tell you?" " No." "Son of a bitch." "Harmony?" " What the hell do you have in here?" " Oh, that's Mr. Buddha." "He was a solstice gift when I was 4." "But you should be very careful because he's really heavy, and if you drop him..." " Okay, I got it." "Thanks." " Okay." "Amber, where do you want your shit?" " Hey, babe." "Need any help?" " No." "I got it." "You and Mark have been planning this all week?" "Yeah." "No." "I meant next weekend, and he thought I meant this weekend." "So..." "What?" " You're not mad, are you?" " Yeah, a little bit." "No, Hugh, not mad." "I'm just disappointed in your lack of communication." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "That's it?" "You're just gonna say "I'm sorry," and you think it's gonna be..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Hugh, what's this?" "Oh, that's... that's my crossbow." "I got it at the flea market a couple weeks back." "What makes you think that we need a crossbow?" "We might have to protect ourselves from the varmints on the countryside." "I don't know." "What if we have to shoot, like, a raccoon or a moose or something?" "You know how I feel about weapons in the house, so I'm just gonna take this whole box and I'm gonna put it somewhere, because the last thing I need is you and your friends playing "moose hunt" in our front yard." " Oh, what's that?" " Hugh bought a crossbow." "A crossbow?" "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "None of this feels right." "Well, the house is gonna look great once you fix it up." "Yeah." "Where are you going?" "I am going to go draw the house." "All right." "Hey." "What are you doing?" "Drawing the house." "Okay." "Why don't you draw that one over there?" "Looks a bit more disgusting, if that's what you're after." " Does anyone live there?" " I don't know." "It doesn't look like it." "Let's go check it out." "Hey, Kenneth, let's go check out that..." "creepy house over there." "That doesn't look like it's on Hugh's property." "I don't think anyone will mind if we have a look." "There." "You see?" "Even nature girl thinks it's okay." "I don't know, guys." "This place looks like it's condemned." "Somebody might step on a nail." "At least that would be interesting." "Hey, look at all this nature at work." "It's so beautiful." "This garden looks like it's been maintained." "I mean, at least a little bit." "Hey, it's open." "Okay, isn't this trespassing?" "This place is probably full of asbestos." "We could get mesothelioma." "Your mom has mesoth..." "Shut up, man." "Laurie?" "Yeah?" " Where are the keys?" " What do you need them for?" "I just need to run into town to pick up a few things." " A few things?" " Yeah." "Mark invited a few people over to see the place." " Why do I not like the sound of that." " It won't be anything major, I promise." "We'll just, you know, have a couple beers and send them on the way." "Whatever." "I don't want to fight on our first night here." "They're in my purse, side pocket." "Thanks, babe." " I wonder what this place was." " Probably some old rich guy's pad, man." "Come on, guys." "Can't you be more respectful?" "Kenneth, who's even gonna notice?" "No one's been here for years." "Mark, I'm gonna rearrange some of this stuff so you can take more photos of me." "Yeah, yeah." "Let me just change rolls real quick." "It's so cool that you still shoot on film." "Digital has no soul." "There's just something so real about film, you know?" "I got to pee." "Where the hell's the bathroom in this hell-hole?" "Just go outside." "What am I?" "Some kind of yokel?" "Yokel?" "Come on, Kenneth." "Why don't you loosen up?" "No, I don't think so." "Come on." "Nobody's watching." "Why don't you take this and smash out that window." " Oh, my God." " What the hell are you guys doing?" "He threw it." "What the fuck was that?" "Kenneth, you should know better." "Good going, nerd." "Oh, gosh." " What's that?" " Looks like the basement." "Let's check it out." " Come on, we haven't been alone in hours." " No fucking way." "Hey, guys?" "I think we better head back to the house." "It's getting dark, and Kenneth said there might be coyotes." "Coyotes?" "Where the hell does he think we are?" "You know, this place has a different aura than Laurie's house." " I can't tell why, though." " Whatever makes you happy." "I dropped some acid about a half-hour ago." " That's cool." " Yeah." "You want a tab?" " No, I'm good." " Oh, come on." "It's wonderful!" "Sure." "Let's go someplace quiet while this starts to peak." "Oh, I know." "We'll go back to that old house." "I'll go get Mr. Buddha." "You dance nice." "Yeah?" "Do you like it?" "Yeah." "That asshole!" "Pig!" "Let me in, scary..." "Scary house." "Come on, Mr. Buddha." "Come on." "Let's go into the scary house." "Can you see, Mr. Buddha?" "Damn it, Teaberry!" "What?" "I always thought you looked much better covered in beer." "That's it." "Hugh!" ""Just a few beers." "Send them on their way." Bullshit." " Where's Hugh?" " What?" " Where's Hugh?" " I think he's in the kitchen." "You don't know where your mouth is right now." "You're so bad." "I was teaching her..." "I was teaching her how to say, "ay, papi."" "You like that." "Yeah, I know." "Yes." "You like that shit, man." "What now?" "Hey, everybody stay put." "I got this." " What just happened?" " Who cares?" "The power went out." "Stop!" "I can't see." "Let me get my phone." "Hey, there." "You've reached the Bobby Sullivan." "I'm way too busy to take your call at the moment, so if you leave me a message, I might get back at you." "Peace." "Fuck." "This mailbox is currently full and cannot receive new messages." "Oh, my God." "My head." "What the hell happened last night?" "Whose car is that?" "I don't know." "Someone must have gotten a ride." "That was a great party last night?" "Laurie?" "We made some bucks." "Great." "Maybe we can use it to fix up this place." "Hey, hey." "What the hell's the Matter with you?" " You really can't figure it out, Hugh?" " Look, I already told you..." "Matt and Sara didn't know that that was our bed last night." " It's not about that!" " Then what is it then?" "Is it the house?" "'Cause if it is, I can just tell the Wilsons we want to fix and flip it." " You haven't changed at all, Hugh." " What?" "What are you talking about?" "You know, we can find a house that we both like." " It's not about the house!" " Then what is it about?" "Damn it, Hugh!" "It's about the fact that I wanted to move forward in our relationship." "I know that." "That is why I got this house." "No, it's not." "You got this house because you want it to be a party house" " just like it was in college." " That's not even fair." "Yes, it is!" "We've been talking about doing this for months." "You even said you wanted to get out of the city." "And I've been the one doing all the work." "I've been making the calls." "I've been talking to agents." "What have you been doing, Laurie?" "You never include me in any of these decisions." "Hey, Laurie and Hugh are fighting again." " No, no." "That's not even fair." " Yeah, it is." "It was fun, but that's not even me." "You know I've changed since then." " Changed?" "How have you changed?" " Okay, you want to talk about changes?" "How many times have I asked you to stop smoking?" " Once." " Once?" "Kenneth, Harmony!" "I made some coffee!" " Harmony is not up here, dude." " Well, where the hell is she?" "I don't know." " Laurie." " What?" "Laurie." "Look, look." "There you go again just walking away from me." "Why won't you just turn around and face me so..." " What do you have to say to me?" " I think we need to talk about." "God!" "Why are you yelling at me?" " Guys!" " What?" " We can't find Harmony." " What?" " Did you check upstairs, Kenneth?" " Yeah." "She's not in the house." "Did someone try calling her?" "Is her cellphone working?" "Our phones don't work out here, remember?" "She was tripping pretty hard last night." " Great." " Are you serious?" "Well, if the landline works, I guess I'll just call her from the house." "Piece of shit." "You guys all right?" "The partying was cute in college, but now it just seems a little bit irresponsible." "Maybe you'll live longer if you just leave him." "Mark?" "What's Harmony's number?" " That phone works?" " No, it's just here for looks, you moron." "Oh, my God." "You know what?" "I think Harmony said she was going over there last night." "Over there?" "Why?" "We checked it out yesterday." "You what?" "You went over there, Kenneth?" "That's not our property." "We didn't mess up anything." "We were just looking around, that's all." "Shit." "Harmony?" "Are you here?" "Harmony?" "God, I hope she's not naked in here." "Harmony?" "Harmony?" "Kenneth?" "Yeah?" "Let's go." "This place is creeping me out." "I called Harmony and left a message." "We checked the old house next door... nothing." "I'm really worried about her." "She's fine." "She probably got a ride with someone last night." "You know, there is that third car out there." "Maybe she's just with them, and we'll see her when they get back." "We can't find any of her stuff, so that means she must have taken it with her." "Yeah." "I guess you're right." "I bet that's her." " Hello?" " Oh, hi, Laurie." "So, how was your first night at the house?" "It was great." "Very peaceful." "Well, great." "Have you had any problems at all?" " No." "No problems." " Good." "Well, me and Robert will be coming over tomorrow morning to help you guys work on the house." "Does 7:30 sound okay?" "7:30 sounds great." "Ms. Wilson?" " Can I ask you something?" " Sure." "It's about that house next door." "I understand it's a boarding school, but why did it close?" "You haven't been over there, have you?" "No, no, no, no." "I haven't been over there." "I was just wondering." "Well, we don't like to talk about it very much." "There was a very sick little girl over there, and it's believed that she killed someone there." "And I'm so sorry, but Robert felt that we shouldn't be telling anyone about it because it might hurt the value of the home." "You understand, don't you?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Well, we'll see you tomorrow then." "All right." "Bye, Ms. Wilson." ""Yesterday was good until it got dark." "We heard Tiffany again, but this time, it sounded more like screaming." "They teased her about the ring that he gave her." "He thinks she's his property now." "We're all really scared." "I don't know what he's doing to her, but it's not right."" "And you sang." "Do you remember that part where you were singing?" " No, no." " You were singing." "You were singing to me." "I don't think anyone has ever sang to me." ""I knew what was really happening to her, but I couldn't help her." "She won't talk to anyone anymore." "They saw the ring and knew the truth." "That's when the other girls started teasing her." "June 8, 1999." "Today was the worst day." "After he stopped screaming, Christine called the police." "Then I saw Tiffany coming out of the basement with that saw." "She was all bloody." "She didn't seem alive." "As they took her away, the other girls started calling her... 'blood widow.'"" "I've got something for you." "Mark?" "Hey, Mark." "Hey, calm down, man." "Holy shit, man!" "What the hell happened to you?" "Stay... stay with us." "What the hell happened out there?" "Where's Amber?" "I don't know." "Somebody with a knife just killed Amber, man." "What?" "There's no phone." "Maybe we can run out and get to the cars." "I'm not going out there if some maniac has a knife." "Hey, listen, how many people were out there, man?" "I don't fucking know." "I don't..." "Take it one step at a time, all right?" "Did you see who actually did this?" "No." "I don't know." "It was so dark, and it just came out of the shadows, man." "How do you know it wasn't an animal or an accident or something?" "No, no." "It was a person." " Hugh, is everything locked down there?" " I don't know." "Okay, you check downstairs." "I'm gonna check upstairs, okay?" "Kenneth, get that back door locked right now." "We have no phone." "How are we gonna call for help if we have no phone?" "Shut up, okay?" "I got to think." "I got to fucking go out there." " What are you doing?" " Laurie, where is my crossbow?" " I'm taking care of this right now." " No, no." "You can't go out there." "Where is my fucking crossbow?" "Where did you put it?" "You have to stay here with me, please." "You can't go out there." "He fucked up the cars, man." "We can't get out." "This dude's trying to kill us." "No." "How are we gonna get out now?" "We can't try to make a run for it." "We don't even know who's out there." "Well, let's just wait it out, come on." "The Wilsons will be here in the morning," " they can call the cops." " Look, that's what we have to do." "We'll just have to fortify the house and we have to wait this out." "For all we know, it's probably some crazy bum out there." "No." "I don't think it's a bum." "Look, I brought some wood so we could fix up the house this weekend, so... just grab some 2x4s and start hammering, okay?" "Let's go." "Laurie, how are you holding up?" "I'm fine, Kenneth." "Thanks." "What the hell?" "Did he just kill the power?" "How the hell did he do that?" "I mean, the only way he could kill the power is if he was..." "Kenneth, did you lock that door?" "Shit!" "Take Laurie and go upstairs now." "Hell no!" "I'm going with Laurie." "Fine." "Take her." "Kenneth, you're with me." "Come on." "Hugh!" "What happened?" "What happened, Kenneth?" "What?" "He knocked out Hugh." "What did you do, man?" "We're gonna die." "We're gonna die!" "We're gonna die!" "We're gonna die!" " Shut up!" " We're gonna die!" "We're..." "Grow a sack, Mark." " What happened, Kenneth?" " I don't know." " He..." " What happened to him?" "Is he okay?" " He... he wouldn't wake up." " What?" "And you left him down there?" " Come on!" "Let's get the fuck out of here." " What about Hugh?" " Out the fucking window now!" " She... she can't make that jump." "I'll lower her down." "It's... it's only an 8-foot drop." "Laurie, we got to get you out of here." " No." " You can get help." "Come on!" " I don't want to leave him." " Come on." "Here." "Okay." "Mark!" "Hugh?" "Hugh." "Hugh." "Hugh!" "Wait a minute." "I know who you are." "You're that little girl from the photographs." "No!" "You sick fuck." "I know what he did to you was wrong... but that doesn't give you the right to kill people!" "Hugh." " You're okay?" " No." "Shit, man." "What the hell happened to my head?" "Basement door swung open and knocked you out cold." "Can you get me, like, a rag or something?" "Where's... where's Mark and Laurie?" "I'm sorry, man." "Laurie... she..." "She didn't make it." "Mark, too." "They're all dead." "Wait." "Dead?" "Did you see it happen?" "Where the fuck is Laurie?" "Laurie fell out of the second-story window." "I'm sorry." "She's gone." "Wait." "Well, is she still out there?" "I don't know." "She fell." "That's all I saw." "Well, she might still be out there, Kenneth." "We got to get going." "We got to help her." " No way, Hugh." " Listen, Kenneth, Laurie needs us." "Look, man, the Wilsons will be here in a few hours." "Let's just wait until then." "No, no." "I'm not gonna wait." "Laurie needs me right now." "Where's my crossbow?" "I saw Laurie put a box out front." "It was small enough for that crossbow." "She's dead, Hugh." "Let's leave it alone." "No, no." "She's in trouble." "Her body's not where it fell." "You saw that." " Hugh, we need more help." " No." "I'm gonna get my fucking crossbow," "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch, and I'm gonna get my girl back." "Hugh, look." " This camera wasn't out there before." " Hugh, this isn't Mark's camera." "Hugh." "Look at this." "Shit." "He's got her at that house." "Come on, put that shit down and let's go." "Wait!" "We can't do that." "The Wilsons will be here soon." "Fucking damn it, Kenneth." "You may not give a shit about Laurie, but I do." "So if you want to, you can just leave your ass here." "Come on." "Come on." "Let's go." "We went through the back door yesterday." "He might be expecting that." "We're going through the front." "Let me see that hammer." "Come on, just give it..." "Get ready." "Shit!" "Hey, go check the other rooms." "No." "I'm not going to check the other rooms." "Will you please just go and check the other rooms?" "What room?" "That room." "Thank you." "Idiot." "Hugh?" "Laurie?" "Why are all the windows boarded up?" "I hope that story we told them didn't scare them." "Robert!" " Kenneth." " Sorry." "Hugh!" "Kenneth!" "No!" "No!" "Help me!" "Help!" "Come on, you crazy bitch!" "Shit."
