" Son of a bitch." " What are you doing?" "There's a goddamn raccoon in the middle of the road." "Jesus." "Well, better to kill us than get a little roadkill on the car, huh?" "Well, we're still alive." "I can tell by the pissy look that you're giving me." " This isn't the interstate." " There was a wreck." "It was all backed up." "I took a shortcut." "To where?" " Can you hear that?" " Hear what?" "I think the engine just made a noise." "Well, it's kind of late for a breakdown." "Should've stopped somewhere earlier." "I popped some of those trucker pills." "I thought I could make it the whole way." "Where are we?" "You were really dreaming over there earlier." "You were mumbling and jerking around." "I dreamt you were trying to kill me." "We were at my parents' anniversary party and my mother wouldn't stop talking." "You started screaming you couldn't take it and then tried to strangle me." "At least you were dreaming about me, right?" "That's kind of an improvement." " Shit." " Jesus." "You okay?" "I keep telling you how stupid that is to do that." "You ought to just kind of bite into the apple like the rest of the world." " It hurts my teeth." " As bad as cutting your finger off?" "It's not anything." " You want me to drive for a while?" " No." "I don't." "Why don't you just go ahead and go back to sleep?" "Remember how Charlie used to dance when there was no music playing--?" "I'm tired, David." "See, I think that should be us just about there." "Why didn't you just stay on the interstate?" "I don't know." "Guess I just wanted to make this as miserable as possible, you know?" "See just how big a bitch you'd be about it." "I just thought it would be faster, you know?" "Shit." "Is that something?" "Do you think they're closed?" "Since 1957." "That's too bad, because they got good gas prices." " Look, if you're too tired, I'll drive." " I told you, I'm fine." "Okay." "See, that town there, Elida." "You were asleep, but we went through there about three hours ago." "Well, that should put us down here somewhere." "I mean, that's a town." "Downey." "I mean, they would have a real gas station." "If that's really where we are." "I think that we're headed south." "I mean, eventually, we've got to hit a" " Oh, my God." " Sorry." " Oh, my God." " Sorry." " It's okay." " You got to me before I headed out." " I'm sorry." " I gotta warn you, though." "The gas price is a little steeper than the sign says." "Actually, we're just-- We're having some engine problems." "Yeah, he dodged a squirrel a few miles back." " It's a raccoon, yeah." " And we're lost." "Well, she's lost." "I actually know exactly where we are." "We're on our way to Downey." "He's trying to tell you it's the other way, David." " Yeah." "Sorry, man." " It's okay." "It's really easy to get turned around out here without a map." " Downey's, like, 30 miles back, man." " Really?" "Look, I'll tell you what." "Pop the hood." "I'll check the engine and make sure you can get that far." " Really?" "Thanks." "Okay, great." " Great." "Thank you so much." "Yeah, I went off the road there when I missed the raccoon." "I think I hit a low spot." "Yeah." "Thanks, man." "Is he gonna fix it?" " What do you think?" " Well, the fan blade's bent." "Rock must have hit it." "Yeah, she'll drive fine, just noisy, that's all." "You wanna have someone take a look when you get where you're going." "I'll do that." "Thanks." "So now, what do I owe you?" "Oh, no, nothing." "No, we're good." "Hell, I should pay you for finally giving me something to do." "Do you need help getting to Downey?" " Yes." " Well, actually if you could just point us towards the interstate, that'd be great." " Well, you don't want Downey, then." " Okay." "I'll tell you what you do." "You take this road here, right?" "And you follow it down until you hit a grove of trees on your right." "You take that." "Keep going until you hit Westcliff." " It'll be a four-lane there." " Westcliff." "Make a left on that and that'll take you where you need to be." " Okay." "Thank you." " Perfect." "Thanks a lot." "And you know what?" "Man, I'd feel a lot better if you just took this." "Thanks for staying out so late and helping us." "Well, you just bought yourself a $20 sparkly, then." "Because every day's 4th of July's at Small's." "Owner makes me say that." " Here you go." " Oh, my gosh." "Thank you." " And drive careful." " Okay, thanks." "Guess I ought to buy you a box of those sparklers, huh?" "So how far did he say this Westcliff place is?" "He didn't." "And I can't even find it on the fucking map." " David." " What, did we hit something?" " That's fucking... ." " Yeah, probably another squirrel." " You know, it was a fucking raccoon." " Whatever." "I mean, Jesus Christ, why do you have" "Oh, what the hell?" "Son of a bitch." "Son of a bitch." "So much for being able to drive it the whole way." "God." "Perfect." "No signal." "Damn it." " Can't a car run without a fan?" " Evidently not." "Okay, give it a try for me, all right?" "It's not gonna work." "Jesus Christ." "Would you just give it a try for me, please, honey?" "Goddamn it." "So how far back was the gas station?" "I don't know." "About a mile?" "A long walk in the middle of the night." "Yeah." "I guess we could just sit here and hope some idiots like us come along and give us a hand, huh?" "I didn't get us lost." "No." "You slept for 300 miles, thanks to your Zoloft-Prozac cocktail." "Fuck!" "Well at least we know there's someplace back there." "Oh, yeah, the guy that helped us so much before." "Well, you know, you could get another sparkler, Amy." " Asshole." " Whatever you say." "Grow a penis." "Never see stars anymore." "At least not in L.A." "Kind of nice out here, really." "I bet Charlie would have liked it." "We should've brought him sometime." "We never went anywhere." "The job was always too important." " Why do you do that?" " What?" "Every time I mention his name, you take a shot at me." " Stop mentioning his name." " I'm not like you." "I'd rather just remember him and deal with the pain." "Okay, you know what, David?" "Do what you want." "He said he was getting ready to close, remember?" "Shit." "Look, let's just go back to the car." "You can sleep on the hood and stare up at the stars you love so much." "Maybe they'll know where we can find the guy." "Oh, God." "You've got to be kidding me." "What is that?" " I want to go." " No." "It's okay." "Let's go to the car." "What are you doing?" "Don't ring the bell." "Sorry." " Hey, folks." " Hi." "How can I help you?" "Everything okay back there?" " Can we just--?" "Can we just go?" " It's okay." "Sorry." "Things get a little boring around here late nights." "I believe that." "Say, there's a mechanic at the garage over there." "He helped us with our car earlier." "You know him?" "I think he's gone home for the night." "He'll probably be back tomorrow morning." "I was wondering if you could get in touch with him." "The car actually broke down two miles back there." "We just walked up here." "I sure can't." "I sure can't." "I'm sorry." "Do you know another garage?" "There's Clark's about 20 miles east." " Okay." "May I borrow your phone?" "I'd like to give them a call see if they can maybe come and give us a hand." "All I got's a pay phone, right out there." " That's great." " Works on dimes if you need them." " Okay, I do." "It's real." "No, It doesn't have to be exact change." "Thank you." "Trouble is Clark's won't be open either." "Not this late." "So I guess I don't need these, huh?" "Not if you need a garage." "Yeah." "We do." "But like I said, guy over there will be back around 8 if you can wait that long." "I'm sure he can get you running." "Meanwhile, I'm wide open here." "Shocking." "Okay." "Thanks." "Well, we can either stay here or we walk all the way back to the car." "David, this is a fucking nightmare." "I don't know." "Yeah, we'll go ahead and stay here." "Thanks." "I'll give you two the honeymoon suite for $5 extra." "It's got a few perks the others don't." "A regular room will be fine." "Thank you." "I'll give it for the same rate." "Well, whatever works." "Whatever's fastest." "All right, I'll give you my card." "We're not set up for plastic here, friend." "Cash only." "Okay." "I got cash." "I guess you don't take dimes, though, do you?" "Just kidding around." "I'm gonna need to see ID on one of you." "Sort of a deposit on the room's contents" "Look, sir, we're" " You can trust us." "We're not gonna steal anything." "I'm not lugging a bunch of dirty towels back to the car in the morning, so... ." "I'm" " I'm" " I'm sure you won't, but rules are rules." "I don't make them." "I'm just a manager." "Of course." "Here you go." "It's right on the corner, Number 4." "Might have to jiggle the handle to open her." "She's as sticky as an old whore." " Right." " Excuse my language, ma'am." "Y'all have a great night." "See you later." "Thank you." "Oh, this is great." "Good thing we upgraded." "We've had our tetanus shots, right?" "Oh, hey, if you wanna know what's on March of '97 I got the answer." "I'm sleeping in my clothes." "I'm gonna sleep in my shoes." "I guess it could be worse, you know." "We could be in that twin bed at your folks' house trying to pretend like we're a happy couple." "God, I should have told my mom about us." "Why ruin their party, though?" "I think the thing to do is just tell them after we've signed the papers." "It felt really strange to be at that party." "Watching them all celebrate being together all those years." "How did it make you feel?" "I don't know." "Tired." "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "Never should've gotten off the interstate, either." "And miss our one last great adventure together?" "Yeah." "David." "Sorry." "Concierge." "Hello?" "Hello." "There's no one there." "Jesus Christ." "What the hell is that?" "Hello?" "You heard that, right?" "Don't touch that." "Who is it?" " Stay there." " David, wait." "Yeah?" "David, don't." "It's coming from the room next door, Amy." "I know." "Don't open it." "Yeah, what do you need?" "Hello?" "When we walked over here, were there any cars in the parking lot?" "Just check." "There's a truck." "It's probably the manager guy's." "I don't know what the deal is, but it's a little late for this shit, okay?" "So" "Close the door, David." "Close the door." " Damn it." "Why mess with them?" " I'm not messing with them." "I'm just trying to figure out what they're doing." "Just wait there." "Who is it?" "I don't know what your problem is, asshole." "How long can they fucking go on with this?" "Goddamn it." "Oh, David, don't." "I'm gonna call the manager and tell him someone's bothering us." "Why don't you open the door?" "Play some games?" "I'll play some fucking games with you." "That's real funny, jerk-off." " Lock the door." " Where are you going?" "I'm gonna go take care of this prick." "Everything all right, Mr. Fox?" "No, because the asshole in the room right beside us keeps banging on the walls and he won't stop." "You got any ideas?" " The room beside you?" " Yeah, Room 3." "I go over to talk to the guy to get him to stop but he just keeps doing it." "So I gotta say, I don't know what his problem is." "Now, that is very strange seeing as you folks are the only guests I got in here tonight." "Well, somebody's in there, okay?" "And I gotta say, I'm pretty exhausted." "You sure it's Room 3?" "Yeah, we're in the corner, right?" "Number 4?" "Well, it's the room right beside us, with the big rusty 3 on it, okay?" " So I'm pretty sure." " Okay, okay." "Every once in a blue moon, a college kid or drifter will sneak in through the window for a good night's sleep." "The cleaning lady will find trash on the floor or shit in the toilet." "Usually they don't cause much of a disturbance, so... ." " Well, this one is, okay?" " Let me go check it out for you." "And if those work, I'd think about bringing one." " I am ass-tired of shooting at crows." " Give me a hand." "Fuck it." "It's okay." "So, what happened?" "What did he say?" "He just thinks it's some drunk." "He's gonna take care of it." " Did you hear anything else?" " No." "I was hoping I would and I'd know what they were." "I'm sure they just saw me walk over there and then they took off." "Now we get to enjoy this luxury resort in peace and quiet." "David, maybe we should just leave." "Just go back to the car." "I'm not gonna walk anymore tonight, okay?" "Let's just gut it out here for a few hours." "We'll get the car fixed and we can just get the hell out of here." " Okay?" " Okay." "Okay." "You're not watching that right now?" "Well, why?" "Look, I'm just gonna unwind a little bit." "And make sure the guy from next door is gone." "You gotta take advantage of the perks." "It's worth the extra 5 bucks." "Or is it?" " God." " Shit." "What is it?" " This bathroom's disgusting." " Yeah?" " David?" " Yes?" "That manager guy's definitely gone over there?" "Yeah, with a six-shooter." "He's gonna take care of it, so just relax." "Gotta make sure his only two guests are happy." "This looks like a real library of classics." "Come on." "One more." "Jesus." "Bet this really gets the honeymooners in the mood." "Can you turn that off?" "It's the last thing I need right now." "Well, the least they could do is give us a little porn." "Can't you just mute it or something, so I don't have to hear it?" "You get the fuck out of here." "Susan!" "What...?" "I told you to turn it off." "Just get away from us!" "What is it?" "David?" "Do you see that room?" "From the movie?" "What about it?" " What movie is that?" " I don't fucking know." "Fuck me." "David, is that this room?" "It sure looks like it." "This has to be some kind of joke, right?" "I mean, it can't be real." "That can't be real." "Steven." "No, get back here." "Oh, God." "No!" "No!" "Oh, my God." "What happened?" " It's okay." " Oh, my God." "It's okay." "Help!" "I'm calling the police." " Shit." " We gotta get out of here, all right?" "All right, let's go." "Wait, hold on." "Whoever was outside, they heard the TV, right?" "So they know we watched it." "That asshole put us in here to watch it." "He was never gonna help." "He was part of it." "So they know we fucking watched it." "They know we're gonna try to run." " Maybe they don't know we caught on." " No, wait a second." " He knows, okay?" "He knows." " So, what now?" "We'll climb out this way." "Come on." "It's fucking nailed shut." "They'll hear you." "Let's just sneak out the door." "They're not just gonna let us stroll out there and call the cops." "They're not gonna let us sit here, either." "Fuck." " David." " What?" "Did you bring this?" "No." " I didn't bring it." " Didn't you bring that from the car?" "No, I bled all over it." "I wouldn't have brought it." "I left it in the car." " What's happening?" " I don't know." "Well, how'd it get in here?" "I don't know." "Dim the lights." "What are we doing?" "We're leaving." "Okay, when we get outside, we're gonna go to the trees, okay?" "Where they can't see us." "We gotta move fast, Amy." "Okay?" "Okay." "Okay, we're gonna run right over there, all right?" "Just stay with me." " Oh, my God." " Come on." " Fuck." " Oh, God." "Come on." " Get the bathroom window open." " But it's nailed shut." "Just try, okay?" "Turn off the light." "David!" "They're out there, at the window." "I've got a gun." "Get away or I swear to God, I'm gonna fucking use it." "Oh, God, leave us alone." "I don't see anybody." " Well, they wouldn't just leave." " No, they wouldn't." "David, don't." "They were in there." "Okay." "If they wanna come in here, they're gonna come in." "It doesn't matter." "We gotta find another way out of here right now." "Fuck." " I need to get to that phone." " No, you're not going out there." "Listen, Amy." "It's a real phone, okay?" "It will help." "They're not gonna let you get to it." "Don't go out there." "Look, look." "If we stay here we're gonna wind up like all of them." "Please." "Now, we know that they were outside, watching that window." "If we can keep their attention on that, it'll give me time to get to the phone." "Well, how can we do that?" "Fuck." "Please hurry." "Come on, come on." " 911 Emergency." " Yeah, hello." "We need help." "Some people are trying to kill us." "Where are you located, sir?" "Me and my wife are at this motel." "The Pinewood Motel." "It's near the mountains." "They've got us trapped." "Who has you trapped, sir?" "I don't know." "We just need help." "The Pinewood Motel." "Yes, sir." "Do you have an address?" "No, I don't." "It's near some side road." "Jesus Christ, look it up." "You're going to need to settle down, sir." "You'll never survive if you lose control, Mr. Fox." "And you shouldn't be wandering around in the dark by yourself." " Did you get anyone on the phone?" " No." " Why the fuck are they doing this?" " Listen." "It's getting light." "They're gonna want this over soon." "We need something." "What about the knife from your apple?" "It's in the car." "Nothing in here." "This will have to do." "You're bleeding." "What do you think they're doing?" "I think they're enjoying themselves." "You let me fall asleep." " It was just because of your pills." " I have to be awake." "No." "Honey, I need you to stay there." " What?" " They're watching you." "And they're listening." "I didn't want them to watch what I was doing, but they need to see you." "So they don't think we're trying to get out." "Okay?" " Wait, what are you doing?" " Going through the tapes." "They have cameras everywhere, even outside." "They edit them together." "Remember the screaming from the TV the guy was watching in the office?" "I'm sure it was one of these." "It's not enough they rob and kill these people, they wanna watch it too." "Why are you watching them?" "I'm looking for mistakes." "These people, they weren't smart." "They thought the room would protect them and it won't." "They can come in anytime they want." "They just watch until they get bored." "See?" "Right there." "It happens in almost every one of these." "He just shows up." "Well, how'd he get inside?" "He wasn't in here before." "He didn't come through the door." "I can't tell from the others, but with this angle right there." "It's the bathroom." "And that's where your apple came from." "Just stay here." "David." "I saw lights." "Someone's here." " Come on." " Wait." "We don't know who he is." "He's a ride out of this place." "Yeah, unless he's one of them." "What the fuck's he doing here so late?" "Maybe he's lost." "That could happen." "He looks like he's been driving a long time." "He's not one of them." "He could help us." "Come on." "Wait." "You can't go out there." "Help!" " Over here, sir!" " Help!" "Hey, come here!" " He's coming." " No, they won't let him." "He needs to get in the truck." "The truck." "I'm gonna tell him." " David." " What?" " Fuck, no." " No!" "Turn around." "Turn around!" "Turn around." "They're behind you!" "Turn around!" "Hey!" " Wasn't sure you were gonna make it." " You got them?" "Oh, yeah." "Oh, yeah." "That's the good stuff." " Oh, my God." " Okay, come on." "Come on." " Okay, go." " What's in there?" "Go." "Come on." "We can't go in that." "We don't know what's in there." "We don't have any choice." "Amy, we have to do this, okay?" "Come on." "Just follow me." "I'll lead us out of here." "It's gonna be okay." "This is gonna lead us out of here." " I can't." "I have to go back." " We can't, they're gonna be waiting." " I can't breathe." " Yes, you can, all right?" "Just close your eyes, grab hold of my leg." "I'm gonna lead us." "It's not much further." "Come on." "It's okay." " David, please." "It's gonna fall." " No, it's not." "Come on." "Come on." "Shit." "Oh, fuck." "What?" "What's the matter?" " You can't scream, Amy." " What?" "They're gonna hear you if you scream." "Okay?" "Just keep moving." "We're almost there." "What's that?" "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Shit." "I see something." " What is it?" " Door, maybe." "Where are we?" "This is what you get." "Where are we?" "We haven't done anything to you." "Please, you could be my son." "You could be my son." "Please." "Please, please, don't do it." "Please, don't." "You can't." "Who are you guys?" "You can have anything." "Anything." "Please, don't kill me." "Help me." "Please don't." "I'm begging you." "You can have money." "Let me get the door." "Please, no." "Please!" "Oh, God." "We're no better off than we were." "No, look, we're still alive." "Okay, there has to be something in here we can use." " 911 Emergency." " Yeah, they're trying to kill us." "I need your name and location." "Okay." " Well, they're out there somewhere." " Ma'am?" "Hello?" "I need your name and location, ma'am." "Ma'am?" " Hello?" " Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "Get down there after them." "Bitch!" "They're under us!" "They'll find us in here." "Well, we can't try to run." "Not yet." "We have to let them think we got away, let them go after us." "Then we can try to run." " What if they look in here first?" " Jesus, Amy." "I don't know." "I'm doing the best I can over here." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " No, I'm sorry." " No, there's nothing to be sorry for." " I'm the one that got off the interstate." " No, I... ." "I mean for everything else." "I'm sorry about us." "And about Charlie." "I should've made sure the gate was up." "I shouldn't have let him near the stairs." "It's not your fault, okay?" "None of it was." "It was an accident." "Please." "You have to stop blaming yourself, all right?" "No one else does." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Listen." "We just have to make it out of this." "All right?" "Everything starts over once we make it out of this." "All right?" "Promise." " It's the 911." " Hold on." "Hold on." "It could be one of them, like the truck driver." "When you called 911, you didn't tell them where we were." "Why would they be here now?" "Well, maybe they traced the call." "Gosh." "You sure it came from here?" "It's just me tonight." " And you run the place?" " Oh, yeah." "Then I won't disturb anybody if I take a look around?" "No." "No, no." "Haven't had a guest here in three nights." "Slow season, huh?" "Yeah, well, all four of them." "That happen tonight?" "These goddamn kids." "Come around and vandalize stuff." "I just haven't gotten around to cleaning that up." " Been too busy with all the guests." " That's right." "I probably should look in these rooms." "Wrong keys." "Let me head back to the office." "I'll be right back." " They're looking for us." " Maybe he's here to help us." "No." "He isn't." "He wouldn't just let him walk around like that." "Hello?" "When I called 911 it was the guy from the office that answered the phone." "He looks scared." "I think he has one of the tapes." "He's gonna leave, David." "He's leaving." "Help us!" "No, wait, wait, wait." "Get in the car." " Go." " How many are there?" "Three, I think." "Come on, let's go." "What's the matter?" "They're trying to make sure we can't leave." "Well, I'm not gonna give them a choice." "Stay here." "Shit." "Get out." "Had to drag him into this, didn't you?" "You might as well have stuck that knife into his back yourself." "Oh, my God, they killed him." "David, they killed him." "David, we're not gonna fit through there." "Okay, they're going around the other side." "If I can get in the office, they keep some guns there." " Okay, this is gonna work." " What?" "We'll leave them a trail." "Watch out." "Come on." "They'll think you made it out." "They won't look up here." "Come on, get up here." "Give me your foot." "Just get up there." "You got it?" "Okay." "Go right over there." "Okay." "Stay still." "What about you?" "Go to the office and get that guy's gun." "No, don't leave me here." "Please." "I have to." "It's only for a second." "All right?" "I swear to you." "Please, I don't wanna do this." "No." "We have to." "This is our only shot." "You just gotta be really quiet." "You don't make a sound." "Whatever happens just don't make a sound." "All right?" "We're gonna make it out of this." "Promise?" "I promise." "Now shut that." "Amy I love you." "Oh, my God" "Come on, come on." "Come on." "All right, get her out here." "Let's do this thing." "Go find her." "What the fuck?" "God!" "God!" "God." "Fucking" " God." "Fucking bitch." "Fucking, fucking bitch." "Fuck!" "You fucking" "Be still now." "Be still." "Bitch." "Fuck!" "You fucking bitch." "Come on." "Get up there." "Get up there, I said." "Get your head up." "Think you were gonna walk out of here, huh?" "Fucking bitch." "Put your head up." "Look." "Should've killed you last night." "That's what I should've done." "I could've killed you last night." "I should've killed you last night." "Now shut the fuck up and get your face up." "Get your face up." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey." "You think you can fuck with this?" "You think you can fuck with me?" "Hey." "Look at me." "Look in my eyes." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Hey, look at me!" "Fuck you!" "Fucking bitch." "David." "Can you hear me?" "I'm gonna get help." "911 Emergency." "Please, we need your help." "My husband, he's" " What's your name and location?" " Amy Fox, at the Pinewood Motel." "I don't know the address, but, please, you have to hurry." "An officer already responded to that location." "And they killed him." "Please, you can't let my husband die."
