[CAR APPROACHING]
MEGAN [SOBBING]: Mom!
JOSIE: Get down!
Keep your head down!
[HYPERVENTILATING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
JOSIE: Come on, come on!
ALEX: Here he comes!
JOSIE: Down!
JOSIE: No!
Oh, God...
Mom, what are we gonna do?
Damn it.
Why donâ€™t you get in bed, huh?
Here.
Itâ€™s okay.
Whatâ€™s his name?
Mr. Pup.
What kind of dog is he?
Hey, you know what?
Let me check something.
Here we go.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Maybe...
Mr. Pup would like to have
a new friend while you take a nap.
This,
is Mr. Hickory.
Heâ€™s so cute.
You think you can close your eyes for a little bit?
No?
Why not?
I have bad dreams.
Yeah.
Me too.
[HISSING IN PAIN]
You just keep fucking me over and fixing me up,
donâ€™t you?
Whatâ€™s your sonâ€™s name?
Aiden.
His name was Aiden.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[WHISPERS] Iâ€™m sorry.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Itâ€™s him.
Hello?
MAX: You still with him?
Heâ€™s right here.
Tell him I want to help.
He said he wants to help.
[IN NORMAL VOICE] Hey, bud.
Itâ€™s Jacob.
Hey, Jake, man. Where are you?
Look, Iâ€™m so sorry about Cain.
JACOB: You said that everything would be fine.
You let the girl live, man...
I, uh, there are rules, you know?
And you just assumed that I could go through with that?
Jake...
That I could do that?
Look, man, you have to listen to me now.
The situation has changed.
I just texted you something.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Whatâ€™s that?
Itâ€™s real. Fucking watchers, man.
Theyâ€™re trying to screw me over.
Good.
I hope you lose.
Look, I can get us out of this.
All of us.
You are so full of shit.
Fine. Donâ€™t believe me.
Go on, keep playing. See how that works out.
Oh, buddy, buddy, buddy.
Iâ€™m done playing.
Thereâ€™s only one person that Iâ€™m hunting.
And thatâ€™s you, old friend.
They can keep sending me boxes
and Iâ€™m gonna keep letting them expire.
â€™Cause Iâ€™ve got nothing left to lose.
You sure about that?
Look, thereâ€™s this thing,
a black box.
Have you heard of it?
Tell me.
No, theyâ€™ll listen to this.
We have to meet somewhere.
Somewhere public.
Yeah, wherever you want.
You remember where we used to brainstorm?
Yeah, I remember.
Five oâ€™clock.
[SIGHS]
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Mom!
Let me think.
Stay down.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Mom, do something!
[GUNFIRE]
Alex, open your door.
[MEGAN SCREAMS]
Meg...
get the rifle! Wait, what?
JOSIE: Reach in the trunk and get the damn rifle!
What? No! I canâ€™t! I canâ€™t do it! Iâ€™m sorry!
Get down.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[GUNFIRE]
[GUNFIRE, GLASS BREAKS]
Get in the front seat, Megan.
JOSIE: Youâ€™re gonna make a run for it.
MEGAN: What? JOSIE: Just trust me.
When I say go, head in that side door.
MEGAN: I canâ€™t do this, Mom. I canâ€™t!
Yes, you can, Megan.
Oh, God.
JOSIE: I want you guys to head straight to the panic room.
Lock yourselves in. Donâ€™t wait for me.
Do you remember the code?
16893. JOSIE: Yes.
What about you? Iâ€™ll be right there.
[GUNFIRE]
Alex, get ready to run!
Oh, God!
Go! Now!
Megan!
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
JOSIE: Wait!
Meg, come on!
Go!
ALEX: Come on! Run!
MEGAN: Go, go, go!
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
I-I donâ€™t remember what it is.
Move! Move!
[BEEPS]
Shit!
ALEX: Come on! Wait, we gotta wait for Mom!
Sheâ€™ll make it, okay?
We just have to wait, like she said.
So what? Weâ€™re just going to leave her out there?
Just hang on.
Where is she? Where is she?
MEGAN: Oh, my God.
[MEGAN SNIFFLING]
ALEX: Okay, here she is.
Sheâ€™s going to get armor. Sheâ€™s okay, okay?
[DISTANT BEEP]
VOICE: Back door open.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
ALEX: Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
ALEX: How many are there?
If you kill him, heâ€™s not worth anything to us.
I wonâ€™t use it unless I have to.
MAN: Thatâ€™s far enough.
Drop the gun.
AVERY: Ellie!
MAN: Drop it.
JACOB: What the fuck, Max?
JACOB: What is this? AVERY: What are you doing?
Sorry. AVERY: Max...
JACOB: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What are you doing?
Max.
Jesus.
I see why you couldnâ€™t do this.
Harder than it looks.
Fuck.
JACOB: Why are you doing this?
I got a box.
With her in it.
Y-You donâ€™t have to.
No, I...
I gotta show them.
I gotta show them that I can do it.
No, no! Come on, we can get out of here,
all right? All of us. Together. We can get out of this.
I donâ€™t want out.
This isnâ€™t you, Max.
Itâ€™s not you.
You remember...
we used to come up here in the summer.
We would drink shitty beer
and talk about what we were gonna do with our lives.
Our kids would grow up together.
Donâ€™t do this.
If you do this, theyâ€™ll put you away.
No.
Iâ€™m in the game now.
Just like you.
If I do this,
the Fixers will come and theyâ€™ll clean it up.
And Iâ€™ll be the new favorite.
Iâ€™ll be the one who killed a little girl
That Jacob Orr couldnâ€™t.
JACOB: Max...
Look at me.
JACOB: Max.
Youâ€™ll never be able to close your eyes again.
I promise you.
It will ruin you.
[ELLIE SCREAMING]
Run!
[GUNFIRE]
[ELLIE SCREAMING]
Get her!
[ELLIE SCREAMS]
[JAKE YELLS]
Open your mouth.
Open your mouth!
[MAX GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOT]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[DISTORTED] Donâ€™t you move!
[COP YELLING INDISTINCTLY]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
MEGAN: I canâ€™t do this. I canâ€™t do this.
I canâ€™t...
[MEGAN CRYING]
I canâ€™t do this...
What are you doing?
Iâ€™m calling her.
[MEGAN SOBBING]
Shit!
Thereâ€™s, like, no reception in here.
Megs, just calm down, okay?
I canâ€™t calm down! How am I supposed to calm down?
Meg, stop!
[MEGAN HYPERVENTILATING]
[GUN CLICKS]
[PHONE RINGING]
[MEGAN BREATHING FRANTICALLY]
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
MEGAN: I canâ€™t do this...
Mom, thereâ€™s one in the kitchen.
Coming around the edge, okay?
ALEX: To your left.
No, no, no. Your right, to your right.
Five feet away.
Three...
Two...
Now!
[BONES CRUNCH]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Sheâ€™s coming!
Come on!
No...
No! Goddamn it!
Shit!
Goddamn it!
Goddamn, you had her right there!
She was coming right at you. Whatever.
No, not "whatever." Donâ€™t you turn your back on me.
You told me I couldnâ€™t kill her!
Yeah, well, you couldâ€™ve wounded her.
[GRUNTS]
And where the hell were you?
So crazy. Itâ€™s like thereâ€™s a whole family of them out there.
Yeah, well, thereâ€™s a whole family of them in here too.
What?
You think we can take them?
That is so fucked, Mom.
Why canâ€™t we just stay in here?
Their clock is gonna run out.
My clock will run out too.
So what?
What? The Fixers canâ€™t get in here either.
Oh, so weâ€™ll just live in here forever.
Yeah. Or is that too hard for you?
Stop playing the game?
Is it?
[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER POLICE RADIO]
[GROANING]
COP: Copy that. Weâ€™re bringing him in right now.
Where are we going?
Take a wild guess.
You do know that Iâ€™m in the game, right?
Iâ€™m Jacob Orr.
My target is Carl Sherman.
Yeah.
Look, itâ€™s not my first day. I understand how this works.
Look-- Oh, this is funny!
This is good! Oh, okay.
You turned it around so I feel like I did something wrong.
You guys-- You guys are good.
[LAUGHS]
Okay. Yep. Iâ€™ll play along.
Youâ€™re not on anything, are you?
[LAUGHS]
Yeah!
[DOOR SLAMS]
MAN: I didnâ€™t want to do it!
I didnâ€™t want to do it.
They made me do it.
I didnâ€™t want to do it. I didnâ€™t want to do it.
Hey.
Can I make my call now?
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello? Avery.
Jacob. Where are you?
Whereâ€™d they take you?
Iâ€™m downtown. In holding.
I donâ€™t think this is part of it.
Where are you? Whereâ€™s Ellie?
Ellie ran away.
Detectives showed up and they questioned everybody.
I looked for her...
but she was gone.
You need to get me out of here, now.
How? I donâ€™t know.
But if sheâ€™s out there and they find her,
theyâ€™ve got collateral on me again,
and my box expires in 48 hours.
They canâ€™t get in.
Itâ€™d take them two days with a diamond cutter
to get through this.
Thereâ€™s still some rifles left. They donâ€™t fit in the bag.
What? Thereâ€™s still some rifles left.
Donâ€™t fit in the bag.
Put the rest of them in the trunk.
Alex. Come here.
Mom, what are you doing? Get ready to open...
and close the door when I say. What?
Okay. On my count.
Ready? Three...
two, one. Open.
[SCREAMING]
What?
That bitch shot me. Where?
She shot my foot. God! Hold still. Suck it up.
Fuckinâ€™ bitch. Bitch.
ALEX: That was pretty sweet, mom.
Theyâ€™ll be even more pissed off with us.
Good. Let them be.
[PHONE DIALING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Josie Acosta.
Worried I might get you some day. I really was.
Ever since I heard people talking about you
and how everybodyâ€™s clock runs out
when theyâ€™re looking for the great Josie Acosta.
The ghost.
Heh. Sure enough, that box came to my front door,
and there you were.
How did you find me?
Lately, people been talking a lot more
about the messes youâ€™ve been making.
Ha, I mean, that fireman in Palmdale?
Stabbed a hundred times.
And that rich cunt in Agoura Hills.
Run over with a car. Hm?
Not once, not twice.
Twelve goddamn times.
[LAUGHS]
Back and forth and back and forth.
Have you ever heard of a mercy shot?
Or is that just too easy for you now?
Anyway after I heard about the real estate agent
with the claw hammer,
I said to myself, that sounds like our girl.
Mom, whatâ€™s she talking about?
[SHONDRA LAUGHING]
Oh...
Look...
you canâ€™t stay in there forever.
Iâ€™m sure, the Fixers will come and take one of my cubs.
Theyâ€™ll probably take Tom this time. Sorry, Tom.
[SHONDRA LAUGHS]
And I may never see him again.
You havenâ€™t lost any of your cubs yet.
They took my daughter last summer.
But I got her back.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, see...
[SIGHS]
Some of mine were taken for good.
So I guess you can say Iâ€™m batting 500 in that department.
Yeah, but it gets easier, it really does.
Iâ€™m sure youâ€™ll deal just fine when it happens to you.
Youâ€™d be surprised
what two and a half years of murders does to your insides.
It leaves them all black and hollow.
Youâ€™re just craving for some pain
and sadness.
[SIGHS]
Just donâ€™t try and pretend, Josie.
You are no ghost.
You are a monster.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Mom.
JOSIE: She doesnâ€™t know what sheâ€™s talking about.
You said itâ€™s always painless.
Thatâ€™s what you said.
Sheâ€™s confused.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
What was that?
Itâ€™s Trevor. No, no, no, no.
Itâ€™s not going to happen. Itâ€™s not going to happen.
Okay, come on, come on.
This is not happening.
Come on, come on, come on.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
What? Come on.
ALEX [ON VOICE MAIL]: Itâ€™s Alex. Leave a message.
[BEEP]
Hey, Iâ€™m here... outside your house.
You said weâ€™re having dinner tonight, right?
Mom, give me your phone. JOSIE: Huh?
Just give it to me. Fuck. Okay.
Anyway, call me back.
Answer, for fuckâ€™s sake.
[LINE BUSY] Fuck.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[LINE RINGING] I guess heâ€™s...
[RINGTONE PLAYS]
Okay, Trevor-- Where are you, silly?
Trevor, I need you to-- There you are.
Run. Okay, run!
Trevor! No!
Trevor!
JOSIE: No!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
What are you doing? Stop! No!
I canâ€™t--! Stop!
Theyâ€™ll shoot you. No! I donâ€™t care!
[WHIMPERING]
Wha--?
[SOBBING] Trevor.
[GRUNTING]
Go on.
Where are you gonna go, huh?
[SCREAMING]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
No.
Please.
[SOBBING]
I just held her and...
God, it was so heavy.
You got a box?
Youâ€™re in the game, arenâ€™t you?
[DOOR OPENS]
MAN: Jacob Orr.
Lawyerâ€™s here.
Lawyer?
[TAPPING]
[DOOR SLAMS OPEN]
Beep.
Oh, sorry. Raj.
All right. Oh, man.
It is good to finally meet you in person, bro.
Iâ€™ve heard so much about you.
Oh, man.
Honestly, though, I thought youâ€™d be bigger.
And guardâ€™s been taken care of outside.
Your file never made the DAâ€™s.
No cameras. No mics. Did they hire you? The Watchers.
Yeah, they did. They do.
Yeah, they do.
Well, they can talk to me themselves,
if they want me to play their game.
Watchers donâ€™t mingle with Hunters. Thatâ€™s the point.
Has to hire guys like me. Handlers.
I handled Ian Mitchell actually. Your last target.
Heard it was cold blooded.
That is awesome.
The guy was kind of a douche. Treated me like his bitch.
So Iâ€™m glad heâ€™s dead. Thank you.
But you let that little girl live.
What was that about? She didnâ€™t hurt anybody.
Yeah, I know, but now your brotherâ€™s dead. So, you know...
Just saying.
And what would you have done, hm?
Me? Yeah, you.
I donâ€™t have a brother. I have a sister.
Two actually. And I might do anything.
Iâ€™d even shoot a baby in the face
if it meant saving one of them.
Family first, right?
Family always first.
Anyway. Hereâ€™s the sitch.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[WHIMPERING]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Original.
Yeah, one way to put it. So hereâ€™s the deal.
Oh, shit! Oh, God! Whoa! Iâ€™m here to help you.
I wanna talk to whoeverâ€™s in charge.
I donâ€™t know whoâ€™s in charge.
Iâ€™m here to help you, to get you out.
You can keep playing, they keep watching.
I donâ€™t want to play the game. Theyâ€™ll kill her.
You stop playing, they put a bullet in her. Listen.
I am here because I am gonna get you the fuck out--
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Enough. Where is she? I donâ€™t know.
Then youâ€™re useless to me, arenâ€™t you?
Let me finish. Iâ€™m here to get you out--
Bullshit.
Take my briefcase if you donâ€™t believe me.
Papers for the black box.
Your final kill, man.
Itâ€™s your ticket out. Out of the game, man, all right?
Watchers, theyâ€™re running out of collateral for you.
No brother. No family. No friends.
Theyâ€™re running out of things to take away from you.
So theyâ€™re offering you the Black Box.
If you expire the target in the black box,
youâ€™re out of the game.
Thatâ€™s it. No strings, bro.
I swear, for good.
Me and the girl, you hear me?
Both of us. I canâ€™t do that, man.
But we...
We could transfer it. You can transfer it if you want.
You can transfer it to her,
and sheâ€™ll be removed from the game. No strings, bro.
How do I know thatâ€™s the truth?
Thereâ€™s one thing thatâ€™s no joke. It is their rules.
They stick to it like a tattoo on a fat chick.
Heh. Thatâ€™s what makes it so exhilarating.
[COUGHING]
This black box
What? How do I get it?
You have to earn it, all right?
Three kills in 72 hours. Not just one.
Starting with the current target,
Carl Sherman or whatever the hell his name is.
Which only gives you about two days
to do him and then two others.
So if you make all three kills before your time is up,
you will get the black box.
In it, you will find your final target.
The expiration date for a black box can be anything.
Three days, four hours, anything.
You wonâ€™t know till you get it. But if you do get it,
you expire your final target,
youâ€™re out.
Or Ellieâ€™s out or whoever the hell you choose.
Theyâ€™re out for good.
So you gonna do it?
Three kills, two days.
Plus your black box target. Yeah.
Thereâ€™s one more thing you should know.
The girl is still collateral.
And she will be until you complete the black box.
So itâ€™s sort of a do or die situation
once you sign that paper, all right?
Yeah.
Whatâ€™s this? New wheels.
The POS you were driving got impounded.
And boom.
Itâ€™s official now.
Itâ€™s so easy.
You go on your way, I go with mine.
It was good meeting you. Real good, bro.
Enjoy that killing spree, heh.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Does it feel good
to know that Trevorâ€™s gonna die?
Why would you say that?
Isnâ€™t that the point?
For Megan and I
not to love anybody?
Or anything?
Alex.
Weâ€™re just here to give you a reason.
A reason to play the game.
You know that isnâ€™t true.
Do I, Mom?
I canâ€™t open that door.
Sheâ€™s waiting.
She has the upper hand.
My only job is to protect you
and to protect Megan.
That is why I play the game.
[PHONE RINGING]
So hereâ€™s the deal.
This kid is bleeding out pretty bad.
I must have nicked an artery in his leg or something.
[TREVOR MOANING]
Heâ€™s probably not gonna last much longer.
I donâ€™t know, Iâ€™m...
Iâ€™m feeling pretty crummy about the whole thing.
Aw, you poor baby.
He looks so sad.
I really wish you could see his face up closer.
Iâ€™m guessing heâ€™s probably got a few more minutes
till heâ€™s all emptied out.
That should give you guys enough time to decide
whether you wanna let this happen.
Or...
if you wanna come out and play.
Your choice.
Say good night, sweetie.
[TREVOR SOBBING]
[SOBBING]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Oh, do you think youâ€™re gonna go?
Itâ€™s okay. Let it go.
This is a waste of time.
What are you doing?
[GRUNTS]
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
[SOBBING]
Get off me. Stop.
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
How do you know itâ€™s for you?
The black box?
JACOB: I donâ€™t.
But what if it is?
Then you have to murder three people in the next two days.
Well, whatâ€™s a few more bad dreams?
Look, this guy Carl Sherman,
if I donâ€™t kill him, someone else will.
Right? I mean, heâ€™s in the game.
Heâ€™s a dead man.
And same goes for whoever I get after that and after that.
That box is a death sentence.
If I can do this right, I can get her out.
And if your clock runs out...
before you get all three?
It wonâ€™t.
I wonâ€™t let it.
WOMAN: What are we doing here?
JACOB: I need to get something first.
WOMAN: How do you know this guy?
He used to be a friend of Kingâ€™s.
All right, stay here and lock the door.
Hey, Mooch.
Hey!
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
Fuck!
Mooch, stop! Mooch.
Stop!
Stop! Hey!
Stop. Get off me.
Hey, shut up. King is dead. Iâ€™m just trying to help--
Do you hear me?
King is gone.
Murdered.
Oh, shit, dude.
Shit. What happened? Shut up.
I had nothing to do-- Shut up.
Shut your goddamn mouth!
I need your help.
Yeah.
Anything.
King was my boy, man.
What are you looking for?
[â™ªâ™ªâ™ª]
