(ominous music)

(water rushing)

(man panting)

(gagging)

[Man] Eat!

(dramatic music)

(punching)

- [Kendra] Baby?

Babe, are you okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it was just a dream.

- [Kendra] You're sweating, are you sure you're okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Well, dinner's ready.

- [Lance] Alright, cool.

- Alright, hurry up, get changed.

(classical piano music)

- This looks great, honey.

- Happy birthday.

- Hooray, I'm officially old.

- 30 is not old.

- Let's see how you feel about that

a couple years from now when you turn 30.

- Are you gonna be this grumpy all weekend?

- No, I'm sorry.

- What's wrong?

Ah, I know that face, what's wrong Super Hulk?

- It's stupid.

- Tell me, I like stupid stuff.

- I told you about my birth mother

and how every year at this time

I feel like she's gonna find me.

You know, she's just waiting to surprise me.

I don't know,

I just feel like turning 30

that makes the dream seem more and more impossible.

- Maybe that's a good thing.

- Why?

- Your adoptive parents love you, I love you.

When you finally knock me up, our children will love you.

You have so much love from the people

that exist in your life that maybe it's okay

to leave this illusion of your mother behind.

30 could be a great new chapter in your life.

- What do you mean?

- Well you know, you could go back to school.

Maybe get a career.

- (laughing) Imagine me going back to school.

(beeping)

I know math.

Yeah.

(laughs)

- Hold it right there, turn around.

(radio chattering)

What do you got there?

- Garbage.

- You live here?

- For six months now.

- Let's see what's in the bag.

- Trash.

- Alright.

What's your name?

- Lance O'Brien.

- Unit number?

- 99.

- You have a nice night.

- Mmhmm.

- You know you have other shirts you can pack.

- I sure do.

You cannot pack the gun this time.

- Don't be crazy.

What if we need it?

- Haven't ever needed it.

(gun clicking)

Please?

It's my birthday.

- It's your birthday today,

tomorrow, just another camping day.

- You know the damn thing makes me nervous.

- Oh, you're so white!

- No, no if I was white I'd love guns.

But, however, I'm not.

Those things have killed thousands of my people.

- A result of poverty and lack of education,

not the color of your skin.

And it doesn't only concern black people.

Just admit that your WASPy parents

just drilled this fear of gun into you.

God.

- So what?

They wanted me to be safe.

It's certainly better than rollin' with the homies at 14.

That's not safe.

- At least they taught me about life.

I can hold my own in any situation.

What are you gonna do when we get attacked by a wolf, huh?

Huh, what your gonna do, what you got?

- I'll show you. - What you got?

What you got big boy? - Step back and I'll show you.

Step back.

Kick it in the face.

(laughs)

- You're such a dork.

Alright, alright.

All safe.

Alright.

This was my last thing, I'm all set.

Now, to your last present.

Da, da, da, da, da.

(humming)

(laughs)

(moaning)

Would you like some more, darling?

- Please.

- Mmm, mmm, mmm.

(laughs)

(haunting laughter)

(sighing)

(panting)

- Kendra.

My leg!

(gasping)

Jesus Christ.

What are you doing?

- Just a bit of work.

Bad dreams?

- Yeah.

- I really think you should talk to somebody about this.

You've been having a lot of bad dreams lately.

- I can handle it.

- I'm sorry, I just, I gotta put this brief together

and then I'm gonna be free for the rest of the weekend.

No!

Just an hour, I promise.

It's actually a really interesting case.

So this guy, he embezzled $250K from the company.

Cut and dry, right?

Huh, no.

His boss left a paper trail that we were...

Alright, I know we said we were gonna do

this together tomorrow morning,

but why don't you choose a really nice

camping site for us, somewhere near water.

Isolated, I wanna swim naked this time.

(splashing)

- [Kendra] Whoo! (laughs)

How long since we got off the highway?

- [Lance] About seven and a half miles.

- [Kendra] Okay, so a little bit farther

and then the turnoff should be on your left.

- [Lance] Oh, nice.

- You really got us out into

the middle of nowhere this time.

- Well, I had to see you swim naked in the river.

Babe, could you grab me a water?

Shit!

(Kendra screams)

(crashing)

(soft piano music)

- Come on, baby, wake up.

We need to get him to a hospital.

- Oh, that's near impossible up here.

We don't have a vehicle or nothing.

Anyway, he's just got a little bump

on the noggin', same as you.

- I hope so.

- Why don't you just let him rest, dear?

Let me show you something.

As I was saying, my name is Mary and our home is your home.

Now, me and my husband Ivan sleep in that room

and most everybody else sleeps out here, except for Vlad.

He's got his own shack out back.

- Oh, he gets his own place.

I guess he's pretty special.

- Oh, yes, Vlad is going to be the next leader.

He needs his own place to prepare.

Come on, follow me, come on.

This is the kitchen.

This is my stove.

This is my favorite pot.

- Sounds like you spend a lot of time in here.

- Oh, definitely. (laughs)

- I like your dress.

- Why, thank you!

Had it 40 years! (laughs)

Still looks like new.

Don't you think?

- Do you have a bathroom?

- Bathroom?

(laughs)

You want to wash up, the river's down that way.

- Oh no, no, I need to um, you know.

- Oh, you need the outhouse?

(laughs)

Okay.

Here.

- Thanks.

(metal scraping)

Hello.

- Good afternoon, darlin'.

How you feeling?

- Still woozy.

- Good to see you up and around.

You two hit that tree pretty hard.

- You saw the crash?

- Big fella's out there moving it right now.

- Thanks.

There was this thing that popped out

of the woods and made us crash.

(metal scraping)

- Things happen, I guess.

Now you go on inside and take it easy.

(mysterious music)

- [Mary] How's he doing?

- The same.

Thank you again for helping us.

- [Mary] Oh, you're welcome!

- Preparing dinner already?

- Oh, better to be safe than sorry.

Dinner should be at 7 p.m. sharp.

- Hello.

I'm Kendra.

- I'm Caitlin.

- Caitlin, that's a pretty name,

for a very pretty girl.

So what do you do for fun out here, Caitlin?

Do you go to school?

- Oh, we teach our children everything they need

to know right here at the old homestead.

- Oh, you have other children out here.

- Oh yes, well, not now.

Kids, they grow up, they move out.

- Sure.

- But some of them stick around.

Vlad will be back for supper.

He's my oldest.

Caitlin, honey, why don't you go get a piece of meat?

She's a little shy.

But she's a good girl.

- [Lance] Kendra?

- Lance, oh my God.

I was worried about you.

Are you okay?

- [Lance] I think so.

How about you?

- I'm fine, just a little scraped up.

- What happened?

- Uh, well Mary...

I'm sorry, Mary, this is Lance.

- Nice to meet you!

- [Lance] You too.

- Her family found our car and they brought us here to rest.

- Where is here?

- Oh, this here is the Polifer homestead.

For nearly 150 years it's been right on this spot.

- Wow, but where is here, geographically?

- Oh, well I don't know about no geo-maferly.

We're in the oak belt.

We're in the shadow of the great mountain.

You're lucky we found you.

We don't get but two strangers a year around here.

- Really, how do you manage that?

- Well, Polifers keep to ourselves.

It's been that way from the beginning.

- You got a bathroom?

So I can wash my face.

- Bathroom?

Bathroom?

We ain't got no bathroom.

(laughs)

We got a river.

It's right down the path to your right, you can't miss it.

Oh, would you mind picking up a bucket of water on your way?

- Sure.

- [Mary] Be careful out there.

(laughs)

- What?

- Dang, it's pretty.

- I know.

We need to get you washed up.

So what do you think?

- [Lance] What, about her?

I think she's a little weird.

- [Kendra] No shit.

This family's been living alone for 150 years.

- [Lance] That's a lot of inbreeding.

- [Kendra] I'm serious.

Doesn't this place make you feel uneasy?

- Not really, no.

(water rushing)

Oh, shit that's cold!

- Oh, Jesus!

- Strip and jump in.

- Get out, you idiot.

Are you sure you're feeling okay?

- A little dizzy, it comes and goes.

- I know, but we need to get you to a hospital.

- How about we just stay the night here?

- I'm serious, you know, one of us

might actually have a concussion.

You don't want to mess with those.

- First of all, we don't know what's up with the car.

Secondly, the sun goes down in about two hours.

And it's not smart to roam the woods busted

and broken, alone, lost, in the dark.

- Come on.

(man sneezing)

- [Lance] What the fuck was that?

- I don't know.

A noise, maybe a wild boar.

- [Lance] Do they have those out here?

- Probably.

Let's go check on the car and see about the gun

just in case we need to use it.

You brought it back here.

Thank you!

- [Ramon] It wasn't easy.

Vlad did most of the work.

- [Lance] You couldn't drive it?

- The radiator's got a hole in it from the tree.

- Oh, damn.

- You're not gonna drive it anytime soon.

- Okay, so what are we gonna do now?

- Well, I could probably fix it.

I'm good with mechanical stuff.

That's why I'm here.

- Is there anything else wrong with it?

- No, not that I can tell.

- Great, so how long to fix it?

- Three, four days.

- Oh no, no, no, no, no.

I gotta be at the office Monday morning.

- There's nothing I can do about that.

I gotta rebuild all the wavy parts one at a time.

- And you can do that?

- Like I said, I'm good with mechanical stuff.

- Hello.

How you doing?

Just gonna grab our...

- Glove box?

- Later.

(ominous music)

(door opening)

- Hello, family.

So, these are our guests.

- Yes.

This is Lance and Kendra.

- Lance, huh?

And what brings you two all the way up here?

- We're just looking for a nice,

quiet, nature-filled weekend.

- Nature we've got.

Quiet, (laughs) not so much.

(all chuckling)

- This place you have here, it's very nice.

- What do you mean?

- Um, living free of society, that's,

that's a great accomplishment.

- We don't need your approval, Lance.

- I'm sorry, I was just...

- You were just what?

Hmm?

- I didn't mean to offend.

- (laughs) I'm just pulling your leg, son!

I think it's great to have some fresh meat in this house.

(laughs)

So, from what Ramon tells me,

you'll be with us for a few days.

- It would seem so.

Hi, I don't believe we've met.

I'm Kendra.

- Ella, (stuttering)

welcome to our home.

- Have you lived here long, Ella?

- Leave her alone.

- Were you born here?

- You're curious, I understand.

I mean, what's a Negro doing

with a bunch of white folks, huh?

Well, you see, we do get visitors

like yourself now and then.

Must have been a hair over 30 years ago.

Ella found us, she was lost.

Well, not just in the forest, but in life.

She felt outcast from the world you live in.

She would talk about your keepers of the law,

about the bigotry in your society.

After spending a few days with us she decided to stay.

- She clearly can't decide.

(grunting)

- Hold on, Vlad.

She didn't mean to disrespect Ella.

You see, just a few years after Ella became a Polifer she,

she suffered a terrible tumble down a cliff.

We did everything we could to fix her.

- You didn't take her to a hospital?

- That's not possible out here.

I did what I could.

- Ivan is a very good doctor.

He has healing hands.

- I just wish I could have done more.

Go on, eat up, that's good meat.

- [Mary] Caitlin, give me all your eights.

- Go fish.

(Ella laughing)

(squeals and laughs)

- Guess what?

- No!

- Guess what?

Okay, alright.

Let me see, now.

Ella, give me all your kings.

(sighing)

- So is it true what you said about Ella?

- It was, indeed.

- I gotta tell you, what you have going on up here,

it's not at all what somebody might expect.

- My great great grand daddy moved across

the country at a time of great political turmoil.

Things were changing in the republic.

People with different views, like himself,

just were not accepted.

- So he came up here to build a utopia.

- That's right, and it wasn't easy.

He'd settle somewhere, other people would find him

and curse him and he'd have to move on.

Even now, here in this place, we are in constant danger

of being found and forced to move back into society.

- The world has changed a lot since then.

It might not be such a bad idea to have some contact.

- Well, I doubt it's changed as much as you might think.

Like I said, we do get people through here.

They all paint pretty much the same damn picture.

Intrusive government, biased people.

- What are your ways that we wouldn't accept?

(laughs) I mean, you all seem like normal people.

I mean, you might need some time to adjust, but...

- Tell you what, how about you and me

doing a little hunting tomorrow morning?

Maybe it'd give you a taste of our life.

- Okay, sure.

- Good.

- Sounds like fun.

Should I bring my wife?

(laughs)

- Men only.

(both laughing)

- I can't wait three to four days

for the car to be fixed, if he can even fix it.

I say we take our packs and we head towards the road.

- I was supposed to go hunting with Ivan tomorrow.

- You trust him?

- Sort of.

He's weird, but some of the things

he says kind of make sense.

This place has a cozy, homely feel to it.

- Okay, um, killing animals with

creepy mountain guy not such a good idea.

- Think of it like an extraordinary adventure.

If we traveled anywhere else in the world

we'd be coming into a new culture, new place.

You always say it's about the journey.

This is our journey.

- Okay, fine, one day.

But we leave Monday morning bright and early

and we go try and find reception, okay?

- Okay.

- [Ivan] You come from a large family?

- [Lance] No, no I'm an only child.

I was adopted when I was three.

- [Ivan] Adopted?

- [Lance] Yeah, my birth parents abandoned me.

They took me in.

- [Ivan] I see.

I know about that.

Seen it happen here.

- [Lance] Oh, yeah?

- Oh yeah, we take family very seriously.

It is the only thing we have up here.

Did your adoptive parents treat you good?

- Of course, they tried to give me everything life has.

There are just some things you just can't give.

- They let you down?

- No, not really, no.

They just weren't prepared to handle

the things I had to deal with.

No way they could be.

- Yeah, no one ever is.

(grunting)

- What is it?

- Oh, it's nothing you gotta worry about.

Probably just a, a badger or something.

- Okay.

- Kendra, why don't you come on over here and help me out?

- Yeah, not that much of a gardener.

- Oh, there's nothing to it.

- Well, every plant I've ever touched has died.

- Everything dies, that's part of life.

- Is this all you do every day?

- There are some other things we do.

Mostly this, though.

- I think I'd go nuts without having a computer.

- What's so great about a computer?

- Are you kidding?

Access to the internet, unlimited sources

of information at your fingertips.

Technology has given us everything we could ever need.

- We live just fine without it.

- Yeah, well that's great, but I couldn't do it.

(coughing)

- That should be enough for today.

Caitlin, bring those vegetables on over

and we're gonna get headed back home.

Help me up, honey.

- [Kendra] Of course.

- Are you happy with your life?

(laughs)

- Well, yes.

I love my wife, I love my parents.

My job is bleh, but what can you do about that?

- [Ivan] Yeah.

- Are you happy with your life?

- Every aspect of my life fills me with joy.

Each morning is filled with wondrous possibilities.

In the evening, I have dinner with my lovely family.

- I've never heard someone so upbeat.

- You walk a mile in my shoes, son,

you might be that happy, too.

(laughs)

Oh, oh, oh.

Look there, see?

A rabbit.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah.

I want you to kill it.

- Oh, I don't know how to shoot this thing.

- No, just line the rabbit up with

the end of the barrel and right here.

You got him.

Go on, go on.

Line him up.

- This?

- Yeah, that's it.

Line him up.

Little lower, breathe easy.

Don't think about anything else.

Just the kill.

(gun firing)

- You mentioned you had other children.

- Yes.

- And they all moved away?

- Most of them died.

The forest can be unforgiving.

- [Kendra] Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Do you have children?

- No.

Lance and I are gonna try next year.

Once I get to where I need to be at the firm.

My job.

- You work outside the home?

- Definitely.

- What do you do?

- I'm a lawyer.

- That pays a lot.

- Yeah.

How do you know that?

- Oh, we had this couple early this year.

Fella was a lawyer, like you say,

couldn't stop talking about his job.

- Yeah, that's right, that's what I heard.

- Kids, they pick up on one thing

from the outside world and they go runnin' off.

But not Caitlin.

You're staying here, right honey?

(banging)

- Kendra.

- Lance.

(thudding)

Oh, my God!

What happened?

Who did this to you?

Was it Ivan?

I'm gonna fucking kill him!

(Lance laughing)

What the hell?

- It's not my blood.

We were skinning the rabbits

and the damn thing squirted all over me.

- [Kendra] You're such an asshole!

- [Lance] Come on, Ivan thought it would be funny, too.

- Oh, I'm sure he did.

- I'm sorry, it was a joke.

- Well, screw you with your mountain man jokes!

- Come on, I was just playing, relax.

Relax.

Have some fun on your time off.

I love you.

Relax.

- Oh!

- Relax.

- Oh, you're stupid.

- [Vlad] Oh, yeah.

(moaning)

Oh.

- Get up.

- [Vlad] Oh, yeah.

(moaning)

- What's up?

- We gotta get out of here.

- Why, what happened?

- That freak Vlad was just jerking off over there.

- Huh?

Are you sure?

- I'm leaving.

(groans)

- Some trip.

(groaning)

(grunting angrily)

- Fuck!

See, this is what I was talking about!

Hillbillies stole my fucking gun!

(laughs)

- Hillbillies?

- Yeah!

- I'm sure they put it in a safe place.

You don't want Caitlin hurting herself with it

knowing there's no hospital close by, right?

- They stole my gun.

- I don't understand you sometimes.

Why can't you just be trusting for once?

- I'm sorry, you want me to yell at you all night?

- They're good people.

They don't have the social graces that we're used to,

but that's no reason to be so offensive every fucking time!

- So, my husband is trusting some redneck over his own wife?

- [Lance] I'm serious!

- You know, you have no idea what it's like

to be in a real situation because you've

never been in a real situation.

Well, let me tell you something,

this is a real situation!

- That's your go-to.

You had a tough life, so I know nothing.

- Yeah, it's true.

- No, it's not!

(grunting)

- Holy shit.

(grunting)

Are you hurt?

Alright motherfucker, you wanna go?

- Babe.

- What?

- You were right about that real situation.

(dramatic music)

(gun firing)

- [Ivan] Come on back to the house.

- What the fuck was that?

Who are all those people?

- You shouldn't wander into the woods at night.

- Oh, I'm sorry, did I break some law?

Tell me what's going on right now.

(chilling music)

(metal clanging)

You're not looking very hard, are you?

I'm sorry, I know it's not your fault, but...

I just wanna get out of here.

- [Lance] So do I.

- [Kendra] He knew we wanted to leave.

- [Lance] What do you want from me?

Maybe he had other things to take care of.

- He lives in the middle of the forest.

His other things can wait!

Okay, no more bullshit.

Where exactly did Ivan go?

- I don't know.

It's not my place to ask.

- Jesus Christ, it's like talking to a wall with you people!

Okay, let me put this simply.

Who are the people in the forest?

- Oh, we don't talk about them.

- You know about them?

- Yes.

- If you wanted to leave this house, could you?

- This is my home, I wouldn't ever leave.

- That's not the question I asked.

Could you?

(ominous music)

I don't know what that means.

- Give it a rest.

Come outside with me.

- I'll give it a rest, when I'm back on the highway.

- Come, please, please.

- [Kendra] What?

- [Lance] Please, please.

- [Kendra] What's wrong with you?

- It's not safe for you here.

- Why?

What's going on?

- You have to see what they are.

Then you'll understand.

They have caves.

- Caves, where?

- Follow the river upstream.

At the big log you'll see it off to the side.

(punching) Don't touch me!

- You alright?

- Keep her busy.

- What?

- I'm tired of you always telling me what to do!

You don't know everything, Kendra!

- If you weren't being an idiot,

I wouldn't have to tell you what to do all the time!

- I'm so fucking tired of you!

- Oh, yeah?

- Bitch!

(slapping)

(water rushing)

(suspenseful music)

Thank you, Boy Scouts.

(crashing)

Shit!

Get the hell out of here with this shit.

Look at this.

- Gold teeth.

- From the cave.

There's a ton of stuff like that

and the caves are huge.

Who knows what else is there?

- They're killing people.

We need to get out of here now.

- Where's Caitlin?

- I told her to hide on the other side of the hills.

- Let's go.

(dramatic music)

- Ivan should be back soon.

- We're not waiting for Ivan.

- It's dangerous...

- Get the fuck away from me!

- That's uncalled for.

- How do we get out of here?

- You walk right out the door there!

- You crazy bitch!

You tell me how we get out of this fucking forest!

- You can't.

- You watch me.

- Such a nice girl.

You got a bit of a mouth on ya,

but you're pretty.

We could have made you happy here with us.

- Oh, happy?

Happy to cut off your fucking head!

- Come on, let's go!

- [Mary] Such a shame!

It would have been nice having another woman in the house.

(crying)

- What the hell are you doing?

(grunting)

(crying)

(punching)

- Lance!

Lance!

- [Lance] Caitlin?

- Why'd you tell us about the caves?

- So you'd get scared and wanna escape.

- [Lance] Escape?

- Yeah, you're all tough or whatever.

Especially you.

I think you might actually make it out of here.

- Have you tried to get out by yourself?

- A few times.

- How long have you been here?

- Two years.

I had a real mom and dad.

Then they killed them and brought me here.

- Do you know why they brought you here?

And all this time, you've never been able to escape?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because of the people in the woods.

They always bring me back.

I tried going in a bunch of different directions but...

- Are there more people here?

Is Ella being held against her will?

- I don't know.

I've never actually seen her or Ramon kill anybody.

- You've actually seen them kill people?

- A couple like you.

A family.

- Jesus Christ.

How many of these wood people do you think are there?

- I don't know, a hundred, a thousand.

- Do you know why they keep bringing you back?

- I don't know, I just, I just wanna go home!

- Caitlin, we'll take you home.

- Promise?

- Promise.

(pensive music)

Jesus Christ, we're screwed.

- [Kendra] Shut up.

- Look at them.

- I see them.

We need to find the gun.

It's somewhere in the house.

- Wanna go back?

- First we gotta figure out how many there are.

- [Caitlin] I'm telling you, they're everywhere.

- We need to know exactly what we're dealing with.

(ominous music)

Oh, shit!

- Told ya.

Everywhere.

- Now, we get the gun.

- [Lance] The more I see these fuckers,

the more I think it was one of them

that jumped in front of our truck.

- [Kendra] Really, ya think?

- [Lance] They sprung the trap, delivered us to Ivan.

- [Kendra] Caitlin, when you got captured,

how did they do it?

- We were camping.

They attacked us in the night.

- Opportunists.

- You said you would take me home.

- We will.

- Do you know where they might keep my gun?

- The caves, right?

- I don't know.

- What the hell you been doing the past two years?

Walking around with your fucking eyes closed?

- What the hell is wrong with you?

She's just a little girl.

- What, I don't give a shit.

You don't seem to get what's going on.

- I get it!

I get it big time.

- No, these fucking people are gonna kill us

and that's the best case scenario!

- Well yelling at her isn't going to do anyone any good.

- Let's just go get the gun.

- From the cave.

- From the house.

- They keep their loot in the caves.

- If I stole a gun, I would keep it in the house.

I'd keep it close, we go to the house.

- Mary and Vlad were at the house before we left.

They're probably still there.

- I know I should have killed that

fucking bitch when I had the chance!

Fine, we go to the stupid caves.

Fuck!

(pensive music)

- Why don't we just drive out of here?

- Radiator's busted, it's gonna overheat.

- Not immediately.

- We don't have any keys.

- Well, you're street, hotwire it.

- How far did you get last time?

- Not very.

This way.

- [Kendra] Anything?

- [Lance] Nope.

(groaning)

- [Kendra] What the hell was that?

(ominous music)

(groaning)

(woman humming "Frere Jacques")

- There's something familiar about all this to me.

I have to figure out why.

- Oh no, we need to get out of here.

- We need the gun in order to do that.

Let's sneak around.

- No, let's go check out the house now.

- [Caitlin] I have an idea.

- Who's there?

- [Caitlin] It's me.

- Oh, it's you, Caitlin.

- [Caitlin] Hi.

- [Woman] Is it time for supper?

- No, not that time yet.

Just bored.

Maybe I could braid your hair?

- Oh, that'd be nice.

- Here, just relax.

(sighing)

- That feels so nice.

(ominous music)

(chopping)

- You're brave, well that's good.

You know who this is?

This was one of my children.

- All this talk about family and security

and this is what you do?

- I feed them, I clothe them, I train 'em.

But inevitably some of them will begin

to think for themselves and since

we can abide no insubordination,

that is when it is time for them

to be recycled back into the family.

- You eat 'em?

- Oh, indeed.

It's very tasty, you had some the other night.

(gagging)

You seemed to enjoy it.

Of course, I do save some of the best parts for myself.

(squishing)

(gagging)

Our home has been here since long before

I was born and it will be here long

after I, too, have been consumed.

It is a part of the cycle of our family.

A cycle that you are now a part of.

- It was no accident us ending up here, was it?

- What are you gonna do to us?

- We were hoping we could convince you

to stay of your own free will,

but since that is now no longer possible,

we just mandate that you stay.

- You can't shoot us both.

- Just you.

- The fuck you will.

(thudding)

- Lance!

(gun firing)

(groaning)

- A shame to have to eat you,

but insubordination can never be tolerated.

(smacking)

- Eat!

(gagging)

More!

(punching)

(gagging)

More!

(Kendra crying)

(Mary humming)

(grunting)

- You're wasting your energy.

(gagging)

- [Vlad] It's good for you.

- Let me go.

- Afraid not.

(laughs)

(dramatic music)

- Why are you doing this?

- Did you know that in order to get

that wonderful marbling in steak,

they force feed the animal for

two weeks before the slaughter?

And during that time they they gotta

make sure the animal barely moves at all.

See this forces the fat to form at an accelerated rate.

So, what would ordinarily be dry,

tough beef becomes rich, tender meat.

- You should be grateful.

No more waiting to start

the wonderful journey of motherhood.

- What?

- Of course, farmers do have an advantage.

They know what their animals have been eating.

We don't have that advantage.

(slicing)

(screaming)

- [Lance] Fuck!

(yelling)

- I forgot how good dark skin tastes.

(screaming)

- Ivan is the father to all.

All the Polifers in the forest.

All the children in the caves.

- Inbred fucks!

- Well, they were for a time, but Ivan's father

realized that he had breed with other women.

Otherwise, the children suffered defects.

- You weren't born here?

- No.

- Let me out.

We can get out of here together.

(laughs)

- I've been a Polifer for 40 years.

I don't much wanna leave.

- He stole you away from your family.

- He showed me the light.

- How is she?

- She's ready.

(crying)

- You will be a welcomed addition to our family.

Mary.

- Let me go, you sick fuck!

- Head home.

Kendra I am very excited for this.

See, you will probably be my last.

Two years Caitlin will reach the age of ascension

and Vlad will take her as his first wife,

become leader of the Polifers.

Then I will be obsolete and no longer allowed to mate.

But, until then...

- Don't touch me.

- Oh Kendra, Kendra.

I have built a society of inclusion.

We're all treated as equals.

Simple rules, simple consequences.

A life free from worry and doubt.

- It's all lies.

You manipulate all of them!

- Soon you will see.

Soon, you will love me.

- Never!

- Kendra.

If you become properly assimilated

and accept the Polifer ways, then eventually you,

too, will be in the house like Mary.

Huh?

- And if not?

- Well then you will be assimilated, piece by piece.

(dramatic music)

Oh, don't do that, no.

- Don't no, please stop!

- No more waiting.

Time to receive your seed.

- No, get away from me!

No, please!

Please, stop, no! (screaming)

- Stay away from her, you fucks!

(grunting)

Shit!

- [Caitlin] Wait!

- Get this off me.

Where's Kendra?

- [Caitlin] Follow me.

(dramatic music)

(moaning)

(grunting)

(crying)

- I'll be back tomorrow.

- Fuck you.

(crying)

(Vlad moaning)

- No, she's not for you.

Not yet.

(laughs)

(crying)

(moaning and grunting)

(slurping)

(thudding)

(crying)

- Help me.

Help me, please.

(Lance yelling)

Help me, please.

- Why does this stupid?

(grunting)

Oh, you stupid piece of shit.

- [Caitlin] Here, here.

(Kendra sobbing)

- [Kendra] Get me out of here.

Get me out.

Get me out of here.

- Let's go get the gun from the house.

- If it's even there.

- It'll be there.

I'm sorry, I should have listened to you.

Which way?

- This way.

(yelling)

- What's that?

- Run, run, run!

(dramatic music)

- [Vlad] Get back here!

- [Caitlin] Hurry!

- [Lance] Faster, go, go, go, go, go!

- [Vlad] I'll kill you!

- Hurry up, go, go, go!

Watch out.

(screaming)

- Come on!

(Vlad screaming)

- You and Caitlin check the kitchen.

I'll check over here.

- Lance?

- Did you find it?

- Shh.

No.

That way.

(grunting)

- Hi there.

(Ella mumbling)

It's gonna be okay.

Stay quiet.

She's coming with us.

- No, we gotta get out of here.

We can't worry about somebody else.

- She's a prisoner.

Do you want to come with us?

- I go you.

- [Caitlin] Here.

- [Lance] Come with me.

(gun clicking)

(groaning)

Where are the bullets?

(footsteps stomping)

(dramatic music)

(grunting and slicing)

- Go!

(gurgling)

- Oh, we're so screwed!

(crying)

- Cut it out!

Stop it!

- I can't do it anymore.

- I need you.

I need my Kendra back.

- I can't.

- We're gonna drive out of here.

We're gonna make it.

Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Yes, okay.

- Together.

- Okay.

(ominous music)

- Give me the hatchet.

- What the hell are they doing?

- I don't know.

- [Ivan] Stay back!

- [Lance] Let her go!

- Stay back!

I swear, I thought you'd show more respect for your family.

- What the hell are you talking about?

- I can't believe you don't remember.

You were born here!

- You're lying.

- It's true.

When you were about three your mother

took you and ran into the woods.

When we caught up to her she paid for her crime.

But you were gone.

- He's fucking with your head!

Caitlin no, wait!

- You're just saying this to get me to stop.

- I knew it the second I saw you.

That scar on your arm.

I gave it to you.

Look!

- Don't listen to him, don't!

- Look!

Every Polifer son gets one.

- We gotta get out of here just, just kill him!

- This whole place it felt like,

home.

- What are you doing?

- You're the family I've been looking for my whole life.

- No baby, no!

No baby, no.

No baby, no.

No!

(thudding)

- You are so stupid!

How can you not see the greatness of our family?

Huh?

- You've taken everything from me!

(punching)

- I've given you life!

The life you clearly don't deserve.

(punching)

- You need to die, fuck!

(screaming)

(slicing)

- Kendra!

Baby, baby, okay, okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Get me home, okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

- Son I am, truly sorry it had to end like this.

Everything could have been so different.

If you had only accepted who you are.

(panting)

(yelling)

- Ivan!

(slicing)

(grunting)

(yelling)

- Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Lance, we gotta go now!

- Shit!

Get Ella to the car.

I'll grab Kendra.

(grunting)

(engine revving)

(dramatic music)

(yelling)

Chill, car.

(thudding)

I am gonna fuck him up.

Hang on.

(yelling)

(thudding)

Shit!

(grunting)

(water rushing)

(screaming)

(ominous music)
