MADISON: I could've walked up here.

EMILY: I know.

Sometimes Mommy has to do all the work.

I know you're a big girl now and you don't need me as much anymore, but

we have to pretend like you do otherwise my feelings get hurt.

I'll always need you. No matter what.

Even when you're running around here doing everything for yourself?

Who says I'll be doing everything for myself?

Oh, once you're independent, you're independent.

I'm going to stop cooking and cleaning and...

Oh, you should get a driver's license too because I'm not driving you to school anymore.

I am done.

( BOTH LAUGHING) Madison: No.

Or, you could let me give you all the piggie back rides I want and...

we can be good.

Okay. EMILY: Okay.

( SLOW EMOTIONAL MUSIC )

MADISON: Why do you have to work tonight?

EMILY: What do you mean? We need the money?

MADISON: Well, you just worked this morning and last night.

I didn't even get to see you come home.

I came in and tucked you in, though.

Well, I don't remember so it doesn't count.

I know I've been working a lot.

And usually when I work mornings I take off at night so I can be with you

but... tonight's a big job.

It's a really big job and if it goes well...

I might be able to work less.

Really?

EMILY: Really.

It's getting late honey. You have a test tomorrow and therapy with Gabby.

I'm not tired enough yet.

Can Dylan read me one more story?

We need to get to work.

Please?

We got a couple minutes to kill, anyway. Let's do it.

It's cool.

( MELLOW PIANO MUSIC )

( DOOR OPENING )

DYLAN: Hey, come here.

We don't have to do it tonight.

We can back out.

Last minute?

I'm not going to let you do something you're going to regret.

I don't know. Is it selfish to want more for her right now?

I mean, we have a house - a place of our own finally.

She gets all the care she needs from Gabby.

She has the best stepdad in the world.

I don't know, maybe if we just slow it down a little bit -

not having the medication wouldn't be so bad.

DYLAN: Listen, I'm okay with whatever you want to do, Emily.

Personally, I think it's worth it.

I want her to succeed.

And I want her to have the best.

But if you think she's already got it then... let's just stay home.

( MELLOW PIANO MUSIC CONTINUES )

ANGIE: Hey.

THREE: I made some extra for you.

You going to eat any more?

Nope. I'm done.

Where are you going?

Up to my room.

I wanted to talk to you.

Okay. What do you want to talk about, Mom?

Do you have to be like that?

We can't even be civil?

We're civil enough.

I cook for you. I keep the house clean.

You pay the bills.

There's more to it than that.

Oh yeah?

How long are you going to be home? Hm? Right now?

Half hour, maybe. I have a client, I -

ANGIE: We have to go to a few places.

A few. Not just his bedroom?

I don't do that anymore, Charlotte!

Don't call me that! I hate it.

Fine. Three.

Yes, I have to be out very late tonight.

But I'm off tomorrow. Maybe I could pick you up, we can go to breakfast.

(THREE SCOFFS) Oh. So you want to play mom, now?

I'm trying to be friends.

ANGIE: Mom is what I do when I'm out there. Making money.

ANGIE: Trying to keep a roof over your head. Trying to build a future for you.

Yeah, I know I suck at everything else.

But this is the best I can do.

We've had this conversation before. Are we done?

I see you, for fifteen minutes.

On a good day.

What is the point of trying?

This is who we are.

It doesn't have to be.

I wouldn't waste my breath talking.

You have work soon.

DREW: Aw, come on! DERRICK: I called it!

DREW: They just gave the game away, that was ridiculous.

DERRICK: It was a risk.

Yeah, but why would you do that?

You've been moving the ball up and down the field all day just fine.

Defense is playing great! Why would you try an onside with five minutes left?

You got to take chances? Right?

Stupid but if they'd gotten it the game would've been over.

Yeah like it is now except we would've won.

MARY: The day when your husband is more fired up over a game

than your barely adult son.

( DERRICK COUGHING ) ALESSA: Seriously, what are you guys deaf in here?

( DERRICK COUGHING AND GAGGING )

I thought I smelled that perfume. What got you out of your cave?

Alessa: I heard the yelling.

I thought maybe you hurt yourself trying to get off the love seat.

You know how fragile you are these days.

Shut the hell up. Stupid bi-

Derrick. Careful with the language.

I'm going to go run to the store. I'm out of stuff.

Well, stop taking baths in your nasty perfume - maybe it'll last longer.

Hey, take it from me.

Guys like it in smaller doses.

You would know what boys like wouldn't you, fairy?

That's enough you two. Alessa...

Let me just finish this row and I'll take you.

No, no I...

I need the fresh air. It's not that far. I'll walk.

It's a five minute walk. It's not like it's a bad neighborhood.

I suppose.

Just don't be too long and take the trash up while you're out there.

You know your brother can't manage it with his good arm for some reason.

Really? Mom?

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

By the way. How's this for perfume douchebag?

BLADE: You need to know that we're not playing games.

I'll tell you how this goes down 99 percent of the time.

You give explicit instructions.

And everything is going fine.

BLADE: Until some idiot ruins it for everyone.

Either by trying to play a hero.

BLADE: Like this little sissy.

( DERRICK HITS THE FLOOR HARD )

BLADE: Or by trying to outsmart you.

I'll tell you something.

BLADE: If you're not going to cooperate.

Save us all the trouble. I'll slash your throats right now.

Say the word.

BLADE: Just say the word. >>We'll cooperate. We'll cooperate.

We'll do anything you tell us to do. I promise!

Please! We haven't done anything wrong!

Now that ain't exactly true. Is it?

I guess you haven't told her about getting a little extra on the side -

to keep quiet about certain... imports.

Where's the money?

What imports?

An extra gun, sometimes.

Duplicates to fool the police and stay off the radar.

Coke. All sorts of things.

He doesn't have any extra money.

We have the same bank account. I see everything.

I do our accounting!

Be quiet, Mary!

Don't tell me to be quiet, Drew! Is this true?

Did you really? >>Shut up.

You get paid in cash. Where is it?

How did you learn all this?

BLADE: I ask the questions.

Where is the money?

There's a safe in my closet. >>We don't have money in that safe.

Open the safe. The back wall, push on it.

There's another small box in there. The money's inside.

BUZZ: Write down the combination.

EMILY: We're going upstairs.

Stop you don't have to take her! BLADE: Sit down.

( MARY SOBS )

It's just for insurance. Nobody's going to do anything stupid if she's the one that pays.

You rang my door.

Fair enough, um...

I'm looking for Angie. Is she around?

She's not home right now. Don't you have her number?

No. She must have changed her number.

Just like she must have changed her address.

If she didn't give you her new number or her new address...

There might be a reason for that.

Yeah there might be, but uh...

KENNY: I was one of her best customers. One of her biggest payers.

KENNY: That's how she must've gotten this nice place.

Okay. Bye.

Are you, uh... here alone, princess?

Oh hell, you're her daughter, aren't you?

You uh... you kind of look like her. And you got her same attitude, too.

What else you got?

Get your foot out of the door. Now!

KENNY: Now, now. I uh...

I took a cab to get here. I'm going to have to call a car to get back.

KENNY: Why don't I just, uh?

Come in. We can hang out while we wait for your mother?

Maybe we can get to be friends, too?

Are you okay?

I heard you come in.

I thought I heard you crying.

Everything's fine. Go back to bed, babygirl. It's late.

Why do you have a knife?

You going to hurt yourself?

Like you care.

You can't just go.

You can't just leave.

Things are bad enough as they are.

You - you can't.

It isn't for me.

It's in case someone followed me home.

Who?

An old friend.

Client.

I ran into him between routes this morning. He wanted to hang out.

I know what you do, Mom.

What I did.

It's not what I do. Not anymore.

He was into weird things.

Leaving bruises. Hitting me.

I told him I don't do any of that anymore. He tired to force me.

Are you okay?

I am. His balls aren't.

Got me a couple times, I kicked him real hard and ran.

Good thing I still have my work boots.

When did this happen? Just now?

Earlier today. Like 4.

You kept working?

ANGIE: Bills aren't going to pay themselves babygirl.

Someone's got to keep this roof over your head.

You should get some sleep.

I'll be awake and if I hear anything...

I'll come get you and we'll call the police.

Like I'm going to let you keep watch.

You need to rest for tomorrow.

Someone's got to keep a roof over my head.

( INTENSE MUSIC )

LOCO: Little girl. Come on out.

LOCO: I'm not going to hurt you.

LOCO: I just beat up that piece of trash downstairs for thinking I would.

LOCO: Don't make me come looking for you.

LOCO: I just need to clear the house.

LOCO: We need a place. This is it.

LOCO: You come out...

LOCO: You could've been upstairs in your room.

LOCO: Playing with the dolls. Taking a nap. Whatever.

I tried to tell you that.

And you tried to cut my face off?

And you did this.

You think I was just going to let you get away with that?

Huh?

( THREE BREATHES HEAVILY )

Don't worry. I ain't going to kill you.

That would be unfair now, wouldn't it?

Slit your little throat.

Loco: When all you did was cut me up.

Loco: Now if my friends didn't stop me, I might have did that.

But I'm thinking straight now.

So I'm just going to return the favor.

What? Come on!

You know what they do to jerk offs in jail who hurt little kids?

What I do?

This is different.

Why because you broke in first?

She's supposed to take your word for it that you weren't going to hurt her?

Get out of here, man.

BLADE: I think he cut her.

EMILY: I'm going to go get something. Just make sure she's okay.

Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry about all that, kid.

He's got some serious issues.

He's actually not that bad of a guy but...

... we've had a rough night.

DYLAN: You want something to eat? Or something to drink?

Dylan: Are you alright?

Look. We're going to get out of here as soon as we can.

No one else is going to hurt you, I can promise you that.

Take my word for it, that's not what we came here for.

( mysterious music )

Good. I'm going to read the numbers and you're going to put in the combination.

Once it's unlocked you step back and you let Dash or I check it -

- and then we do the same with the box. Got it?

Okay, just... please don't hurt me.

Or anyone, please? We won't fight you.

I know you won't. Now, go.

Go!

I can't believe you Andrew. I thought you were a man of integrity.

My goodness, give it a rest already.

You guys are leaving when this is over, right?

Yeah. We'll be out of your hair.

You'll never have to see us again.

Sounds like you've got enough problems here, anyway.

And you won't hurt Alessa?

Why do you think we have our girl up there?

BUZZ: We didn't want you worrying about anything happening to her.

We're not here to hurt anyone.

( SCOFFS ) As long as you guys stay smart.

Otherwise, there will be problems.

Thank you.

Don't thank me, yet.

Oh you got to be kidding me.

I found this upstairs.

It was in one of the bedrooms. In a box with envelopes.

Put it back.

He's right. Put it back.

We didn't come here for that.

Are you freakin kidding me?

Do you know how much money this is?

BUZZ: What's it matter?

We got enough already, man. We did what we came out to do.

Just barely thanks to you.

This is $9,000.

Alright? Are you really going to pass up on this?

That's really all you think about?

After what happened?

BUZZ: A couple of extra bucks and what?

You'll forget all about it, won't you?

Man, you got issues!

Back off, man.

You've already done enough tonight.

RED: Come on fellas, really?

There's no time for this.

We need to put our heads together and figure out what we're going to do.

What happened tonight changes everything.

Assuming we get out of this house.

We still have a lot to figure out.

That's what our minds need to be on.

What about the money?

Look, we're already in. We already broke in.

Tied up that... poor girl.

Hold onto it. Depends on how things are when we leave.

We may need it for leverage later.

But if not...

These people don't deserve to be robbed.

It's not the same as Drew.

RED: Alright, meantime...

RED: Let's check the upstairs. Buzz I'm going to leave you down here as lookout.

RED: I want to see if there's an attic.

RED: Or anywhere that can be used as a strategic vantage point.

RED: If there's an extra gun somewhere that wouldn't hurt.

RED: Let's move out.

I didn't think this through.

No one expected it to go down like that.

As far as we knew.

Yeah, as far as we knew.

It was stupid. For us to assume it would all go off without a hitch.

That we could all get away with it. Unscathed.

DYLAN: Emily it was worth a shot.

Okay, if you remember we didn't have a lot of options.

And... it sounded easy enough.

Yeah, well it wasn't.

So now what?

We get out of here when the coast is clear.

We go home. We make sure Madison's got everything she needs.

Which we can do now.

DYLAN: And we focus on that.

She's going to get through this.

You know, that's we we did this, and...

That's what matters.

But what happened in there...

Means Madison's going to live.

If we focus on anything else, we're not going to make it.

( MOODY INDUSTRIAL MUSIC )

What the hell?

RED: We can't let her go. She might bring the police here.

We were just trying to get away.

What do you mean, something?

We need to go. Come on.

It's about... half a mile.

Come on.

EMILY: Shh. Sh.

Relax.

( STICK CRASHES THROUGH BRANCHES )

( SUSPENSFUL BUILDUP MUSIC )

Go, now!

( BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY )

We should lock the door.

We're going to be okay.

Yeah, you going to call the police?

No...

But we're not going to go outside again until we have to.

Okay? Any of us.

What do you think is stopping them from coming in?

We only have one gun left but...

when they chased us off the road we had them both out.

They probably saw them and they're just being cautious.

If we can just hold out until morning when we can see better,

I think we can fight them off.

My mom's going to come home.

I can't just leave her out there with...

whatever they are.

Yeah, I know.

We'll figure something out, okay?

I'll think of something.

What's your name?

Three.

That's kind of cool.

It's better than my first name.

Um.

My mom had two miscarriages before me, so...

I guess I'm the lucky number 3.

Well, I like it.

Who do you know that has cerebral palsy?

Um.

You have a green ribbon tattoo on your chest.

I saw it when you came in earlier.

So much for hiding our identities.

You saved my life out there.

Your secret's safe with me.

It's for my daughter.

Is... she...

How bad is it?

Cognitively she's all there.

She has some physical problems.

She might walk one day we hope, but...

Now she walks with crutches.

You know, she gets - she gets around pretty well.

Almost too well.

( RAIN LAUGHS )

She was born early. Like 4 months, and...

She's been fighting for everything since the day she was born.

We spent the first year of her life in a hospital.

Heart problems. All kinds of things.

I'm sorry.

Thank you. It's...

We're okay now. Things have calmed down.

She's making more progress.

Then, what happened tonight?

What do you mean?

You're not as bad as what's out there, but...

you arrived in all black and you guys were wearing masks.

You weren't just hanging out, out there.

THREE: If you'd be willing to take the risk.

THREE: Knowing what you have at home.

It must be for a pretty good reason.

You're smart.

And perceptive.

I guess you have to be.

Mom that leaves you home alone this time of night.

I can take care of myself.

Yeah.

I'm going to get something to drink. Do you want water? Or anything?

No, I'm fine.

Okay. I'll be right back.

( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC )

We shouldn't have let him go out there alone.

We might've had a chance if there were more of us.

We weren't even sure if they followed us off the road. Now we know.

So what's the plan? We just going to sit here cooped up till morning?

You think that'll work?

RED: Better than us tripping all over each other in the dark.

If you can avoid it you never run into a situation you haven't scouted.

We don't even know how many are out there.

They could have traps set up by now.

Ridiculous.

I say we go out there and make a run for it.

They can't stop us all.

Yeah, and whoever they do stop is on their own, right?

Every man for himself?

So what else do we do? We're not safe in here.

There's plenty of windows and...

These doors ain't keeping them out.

No, but the numbers game is.

These people are smart. They know we have guns.

Even if we lost one with Buzz, we still have one left.

RED: And we'd hear them coming in. They're not taking that risk right now.

Which means we have time to come up with a plan.

Or just sit it out.

We can't wait till the morning.

Why not?

Aw, shoot. The van.

It's out there. Flat tire.

Arrow sticking out of it.

Now, there's a good chance no one notices tonight.

But come tomorrow morning. Someone's bound to notice.

BLADE: Especially with the cops looking for us.

You want to bet that no one in the neighborhood

saw the van while we were there? Or leaving?

We can't stay here.

Exactly. Let's go out there and take these bastards.

They won't be expecting us, and maybe we'll catch them off guard.

Oh yeah, maybe we'll catch an arrow to the head, too.

Why don't you shut up?

Why don't you make me?

Guys.

RED: Back off.

You going to call the cops?

Naw, I'm calling your mom.

BLADE: Look. We need people, we need a car.

And I got friends who owe me big time.

So, let me give them a call. See if they can get us a car over here.

Now if these freaks decide to do something

There'll be more of us to fight.

No the last thing we need is a shootout.

Naw, these guys are good.

BLADE: Let me give them a call. Let them know the situation.

Cool?

Go for it.

So you think it'll work?

I think we don't know what's out there.

Or how many or what they're capable of.

No, we don't.

But I also know we don't have a lot of options, so...

Unless I can think of something else. I'm not going to argue.

What?

What're we going to do about the kid?

You know...

We can't just leave her here.

Alone in this house with God knows what in the woods.

I know. We'll figure something out. Alright?

We'll take her with us and we'll drop her off somewhere if we have to.

That should be fun convincing them.

DYLAN: They'll get it. They're going to have to they have no choice.

But we have to make it safe. No matter what.

Either way.

Because if they come here and we run out...

DYLAN: Who knows what'll happen.

But I will get you home to Madison so don't worry about that.

Hey.

That's a promise. I'll get you home to her.

Do I even deserve it?

GABBY: Okay, you ready Madison?

You sit down, too.

I don't know if that's a smart idea, you might need me.

If I fall, I'll get back up. No big deal, right mom?

That's right.

( MADISON BREATHING HEAVY )

EMILY: That was great, baby. You did awesome!

Did it look good?

It looked great.

I think if I keep practicing I won't have to lean as hard.

MADISON: And when my legs gets stronger. I'll be taller.

But I like you nice and short.

I know, but a couple more inches would be nice.

( EMILY LAUGHS )

( EMOTIONAL MUSIC )

I'm sorry, I just wanted to come back.

I just got tired all of a sudden.

That happens.

When you start to make progress things get harder.

That's how you know you're doing it right.

I know, but that's when you dig down and keep fighting, right?

MADISON: When it gets hard?

That's right, baby.

I think I need to rest for a little while.

Of course.

GABBY: I think she has a real shot.

GABBY: I have to be optimistic in my line of work -

Otherwise there's no way I could do it.

But 6 months ago I didn't think she'd be moving like this.

Not so soon, if ever.

She's persistent. She's...

Stronger than I am honestly.

She said she'd be walking by her 9th birthday and here she is

4 months early.

Does her Dad know how well she's doing?

He doesn't care.

Is he going to help?

We've been going to court a lot.

Two weeks ago a judge told him he had to pay more.

He'll go to jail if he doesn't but...

That's not really going to help us. At least not right now.

I just would hate for her to stop here.

She's doing so well.

But we can only push her so hard.

She needs that medication.

GABBY: If I could help you I would.

GABBY: I spend so much time here for free and...

I'm missing out on other appointments. Losing money.

You don't need to do that.

I want to.

I love Madison.

I just want her to succeed.

But, I just wish I had the money to help more.

You do enough already.

You'll find a way.

You will.

I'm going to go check on Three. Be right back. >>Okay.

Wait, did you say Three?

I see headlights. They're headed this way.

Should we run for it?

No. We wait for them to get close.

JODELLE: Stop, please stop!

TREVOR: The hell? JOSE: Holy crap.

Yo, he said some stuff was going down.

JODELLE: Please, I need your help!

Please, please, please I need your help don't shoot me!

TREVOR: What's going on here? You out here by yourself?

It's just me. I was attacked I didn't see by who.

They were dragging me through the woods and I got away.

Did you see who it was?

No, it happened too fast. They were back that way.

What are you doing out here? You live out here?

No! I was with my boyfriend and...

We were parked back there and he got out to use the bathroom

and he never came back so I went to look for him.

Don't you know better than to knock boots in the woods?

Rule Number Two in a horror movie.

And what's Rule Number One?

Something went down out there.

I don't know, something happened.

What'd you see?

Michael. What did you see?

The car just stopped and... I don't know, I couldn't tell.

There were shadows and I might've seen a muzzle flash. I couldn't tell.

Well maybe they did it. Maybe they got them.

Then why aren't they coming?

Come on, man.

( SOMBER MUSIC )

( DOOR OPENS )

How's the tea?

Pretty good.

I usually don't like tea but my mom drinks it a lot.

EMILY: She ever make you a cup?

No.

Made one for myself once, though.

It tasted like water. And grass.

( EMILY LAUGHS )

Yeah, it helps to add some sugar. Maybe a little milk.

Oh.

Things you might miss if you don't have TV.

Or a mom who's around a lot.

I guess.

What's wrong?

I'm just thinking about her.

You're worried we're not going to get out of here.

( EMOTIONAL PIANO MUSIC )

Why'd you risk it?

You had to have thought about what would happen if something went wrong.

She has needs.

I have a decent job but it isn't enough.

It hasn't been for a while and...

I can't get another job because I can't afford a babysitter.

At least not...

Not every day, anyway.

What're her needs?

EMILY: She has a heart condition.

EMILY: She almost didn't make it out of the hospital.

We took care of that, but...

She needs medicine.

Really expensive medicine that you...

That we can't afford without good health insurance.

And not having the medicine just makes therapy harder

because she can't try as hard.

That's the worst part for me.

I've always told her to fight.

How am I supposed to tell her to slow down?

EMILY: If she doesn't have the medicine then...

EMILY: She could regress permanently.

EMILY: It doesn't get easier with age.

I can't explain how beautiful she looked the first time she walked.

She was so proud.

EMILY: Instead of enjoying the moment, I...

EMILY: I couldn't think of anything but her heart.

And now, I'm not even there to take care of her so...

( EMILY CRYING )

We need to get to that car.

Nah. Too risky.

We don't know what's out there.

If they took out your friends that easily.

With us barely hearing a thing - we wouldn't stand a chance.

Look, we've gone over this already. Okay?

Come morning, they're going to find the van. They're going to find the car.

They're going to be looking for us.

I'd rather go to jail than die.

That's you. I'm not going back there.

After everything we've done tonight...

We'd be in for a long time, boys.

So you'd rather die?

We decide to wait...

LOCO: What makes you think they can't get in here?

LOCO: They're not just staking us out, man. They want blood.

LOCO: We wait here till morning and we're dead.

All of us.

If I go down... I'm going down fighting.

Look, I'll lead the way.

We'll go through the backdoor. It's less open out there.

Now, we get to the woods fast and we'll make our way around.

We stay close, we stay down. They throw anything at us, we fight back.

DYLAN: What makes you think the car's even an option?

I mean, they could've flattened the tires like they did to us.

True.

But at this point we'll ride the rims out if we have to.

We all just going to charge out into the woods?

No.

Rain and the girl stay. And we leave the gun with them.

Are you nuts?

Look man, something happens to us out there -

I want them to be able to have a chance to fend for themselves.

We're not taking their last hope away from them.

What about us? They have a bowgun out there.

Look, we lay low.

We move quick from tree to tree.

And we don't make it easy for them.

LOCO: Aw, come on.

Sounds insane. Which is why we all need to be out there.

The more the better.

We leave the gun with Rain.

( OMINOUS MUSIC )

RED: Blade?

RED: Diezel?

( RED CRYING )

Where is he?

EMILY: What happened?

We go, now. Right now.

What happened?

That freak got in through the window downstairs

and got away before I could get to him.

He's right. We need to take point.

RED: He's picking us off one by one.

We have to make our move.

Someone want to tell me what happened?

That freak slit Blade's throat!

And he's going to do the same thing to us if we don't do something about it!

You, me, Dash, and the little girl upstairs!

We need to go, NOW.

Easy.

Easy. Make sure no one gets in. We're going to get to that car.

Easy.

We have to go. Can you handle things here?

I should go with you.

No. We got this.

You need to keep Three safe.

She's resourceful, she can hide. You guys need me.

Come on Emily you really going to leave her in here alone. By herself?

After what just happened? You're going to do that?

I can't lose you.

I'll be back.

Just please, lock the door behind us.

We're going to need you when we come back.

Dylan.

Can you just trust me on this? Please?

You shouldn't have to see this.

No, it's okay.

He was...

..nice to me.

I want to help.

EMILY: He has a girl your age.

EMILY: He got into some trouble with the law.

EMILY: And then in prison after that, but...

He had a code.

He wasn't a bad guy.

So. That man outside.

He got in?

Yeah.

But they chased him out and they're going to get to the car.

And then maybe they'll get him.

What if they don't?

What if we're the only ones left?

Look.

Whatever happens.

I'm going to keep you safe.

EMILY: Okay?

( CEILING CREAKS )

( GRAVE MUSIC )

( CRICKETS )

Looks like the tire on the other side is flat.

Only one way to find out, right?

Right.

I'm going to go check on that.

I don't want to stay down here by myself.

I can't take you upstairs with me it's too dangerous.

But...

Do you have somewhere to hide?

Okay, so go hide.

I'll go check on that and it's probably nothing.

So I'll come right back down and I'll call for you.

Don't come out unless you hear my voice, okay?

I'm scared.

I know.

( EMOTIONAL MUSIC )

So am I.

But we've got to do this.

EMILY: We can't let him catch us by surprise.

I need you to hide.

Okay?

Hi, can I help you?

Uh... yeah our...

...battery just died. Could you... give us a jump?

Yeah but could you tell me why you're on this road?

It's just my house back there.

Yeah, we're not from around here.

We were just passing through the area.

We were on the road for a long time, and uh...

Had to take a piss.

I had to go to the bathroom. ( LAUGHS )

We thought this was a side road. And um...

We figured there was a spot back there.

Well, maybe next time you just keep driving till you find a gas station.

Lesson learned.

ANGIE: Although even as a girl I'll take my chances in the woods

-rather than most gas station bathrooms.

( LAUGHS )

Alright, clear the road. I'll give you a jump.

This is seriously not happening.

LOCO: First thing to go right tonight.

Yeah, but what do we do to get Rain?

LOCO: We kill her as soon as she steps out and we get the hell out of here.

Are you serious?

Easiest way to go. Plus she saw our faces already.

We're not doing that.

When she gets out we tie her up.

We take her car back to the house to pick up Rain and we hit the road.

We'll worry about switching vehicles later.

Shouldn't leave loose ends.

Lives are not loose ends.

You might get one of us with that bowgun. But then what?

You know how to use that sword?

I'm a surgeon with this sword.

Why not just kill us yourself right now?

It's his job. Not mine. I only do it if I have to.

He's in there?

Why?

Was it what happened back at the house?

RED: Was it the money?

You murdered innocent people.

The money has nothing to do with it.

How did you know it was us?

He heard their blood the second you spilled it and he's not going to stop.

He can't. Not until it's quiet.

I have to go.

Move.

Honey, you can't go out there.

My mom is out there.

I know but there's nothing we can do about that right now.

Get out of the way.

I can't let you go out there.

Why not? I'm not your problem!

I told you I would get you out of this.

( EMOTIONAL MUSIC )

Rich bastards who didn't know how good they had it.

Bunch of snobs who...

Didn't care about anyone but themselves.

RED: That's the real reason I said we should do it.

RED: Not the dirty money.

That was...

Heck, who wouldn't turn a blind eye for some extra cash, right?

I didn't fault him for that.

I faulted him for being a rich bastard.

RED: Paid me to come in and fix things up.

Paid me well, too.

But while I was there he couldn't help but show me everything they had.

Everything I didn't have.

All the luxuries.

All the food they'd throw out at the end of the night.

Six-figure engagement ring. Giant flat screens.

RED: Before we went through with it we all asked... what if it goes bad?

RED: I was so sure it wouldn't but deep down I was thinking...

RED: So what if it does?

They deserve it.

Better them than us.

Rain's got a kid who needs this money.

I served this country for seven years and I can't find a job.

Blade was a hell of a guy.

RED: Got screwed over by the system.

Better those rich bastards die than us or the ones we care about.

But now I realize, I'm no better for thinking that way.

Putting my own.

And money that isn't even mine ahead of human life.

We're the same as they are.

No. We're not, Red.

Being rich isn't a crime.

What we did here was wrong.

And if they deserve what they got, then we deserve this.

You said that he wasn't a bad guy.

I will knock you out.

To heal.

You need to rest. And you don't want to go tearing that thing open again.

Okay.

That easy?

It'll give me a chance to see if my new strategy is working.

JOE: Calling card.

I figure the more word gets around about us the less work we'll have to do.

Maybe the next time some scumbag has his finger on the trigger...

He thinks twice about it.

Maybe he doesn't take the shot.

So... prevention.

Exactly.

If I don't have to kill...

Or...

A mom trying to take care of her kid. I'd rather not.

That why you took the money?

I want you to give it to her.

You should come, too.

No.

Why not? You've been talking about prevention for a long time.

And this is where it starts.

The circumstances surrounding the home invasions that occurred that last week -

are still being investigated. They resulted in eleven deaths -

with three being homeowners in the first incident. The Gosselin Family.

The rest of the deceased were either those suspected of the home invasions.

Or someone affiliated with them.

Leading police to believe that a third party was involved.

Most likely the mysterious vigilante killer-

who police have linked to the deaths over fifty criminals in the past month.

I attempted to speak to one of the detectives this morning.

The only living suspect the police department is willing to discuss right now-

-is Dylan Martelli. Who is in custody.

As of this morning he and his lawyers entered a guilty plea regarding the charges he's facing.

JULIA: And what about the potential involvement of the vigilante killer?

The police haven't acknowledged the existence of any vigilante killer.

Anything we do have right now is circumstantial.

We're still piecing it together. Ongoing investigation. You know how it goes.

When we're done you'll be the first person I call, Julia. Okay?

That was the typically sarcastic Detective Kana Miyoshi of the Minikin Capital Police Department -

Declining to speculate on the involvement of the vigilante killer.

While the victims of the second home invasion escaped with minor injuries,

Alessa Gosselin is in the hospital recovering from a gunshot wound.

The doctors do say that she is expected to make a full recovery.

We here at MC7 wish her well.
