AVERY: Excuse me.
I'm Jacob, by the way.
Avery. Might call you.
I got this box and inside it was the photo and the gun.
Where is it that we're going? It's a co-op in the mountains up north.
JACOB: I just killed someone.
Do you have any idea what you're getting yourself into?
AVERY: Do you?
MAN: What's this? JACOB: Just open it.
That was a family.
A whole family.
King. (CELL PHONE BEEPING)
They took King. Who took King?
MAX: The Watchers, they approached me about a year ago.
Offered to let me in if I gave them access to my security interface.
I didn't know about the last step.
Enter someone in the game, someone that you care about.
I gotta say, I've enjoyed watching you two.
You're much more gentle with her than I was.
I'm sorry.
(DEVICE BEEPING)
MAX: You have to play.
The Watchers, they love you.
JACOB: Please forgive me.

Good morning. Josie, right? Yeah.
Frank. Pleasure. Come on in.
Oh, so sorry, could you take your shoes off?
Oh, okay, sure. Just had the floors redone, so...
People keep thinking the open house is today.
One of the sites had it wrong.
Oh. FRANK: Yeah.
So this is the foyer. Obviously.
Bedrooms are down that way.
Let's start with the kitchen? Okay.
Plenty of natural sunlight, year round.
New crown moldings here.
Nice. Yeah.
Where you coming from today? Just down from Lancaster.
Ooh. How was the 14? Not bad actually.
FRANK: Ah. (CLEARS THROAT)
I mean, I love, love this kitchen.
Granite counters. Stainless steel.
Uh, do you cook?
Not really.
What's really funny is that the people with the nicest kitchens,
they're the ones who actually use it the least. (CHUCKLES)
Isn't that true? Right?
Yeah. Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT) Sorry.
Are you okay? (SNIFFLES) Yeah, yeah.
Just fighting something off.
You know what?
I think I've got some hand sanitizer in here.
Oh, it's nice of you. That's...
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS)
(WHIMPERING)
FRANK: No.
(GROANS)

(INDISTINCT WAILING)
(PANTING)
(YELLS) Help!
Help me.
No.
No, no, no. No, no, please.
Wait, wait, wait. No!
Hey, hey, hey. No!
Come here. Okay. No!
Listen, listen, I'm sorry. (SCREAMING) Let me go. Help!
I'm sorry. I'm not gonna hurt you.
Please let me go!
If you want to live, I need you to listen to me.
What happened back there...
(SOBBING)
I didn't have a choice.
You killed them.
I'm gonna help you. Okay?
Okay.
I didn't get to say goodbye.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you.
I can't let you just run around alone, okay?
So you got to come with me.
Come on.
I'll help you, come on.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
What are you gonna do to me?
I'm helping you.
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Your mom and dad, they...
They were good people.
You got to believe me when I say I...
I didn't have a choice.
The game, they...
They took my brother.
And I thought
that if I did it,
then they'd give him back.
But they didn't.
He's gone.
Why? Why didn't you get him back?
Because I let you live.
Listen to me.
You can hate me for the rest of your life if you want.
But right now, I really need you to trust me.
You're a part of the game.
We both are.
I don't feel good.
Hmm?
I think I'm gonna throw up.
Hey, hold on, hold, hold on. No.
Okay.
(GROANS)
(GASPS)
Don't touch me.
We need to keep moving, okay?
(GROANS)
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
(SEATBELT LOCK CLICKS)
MEGAN: Mom?
It's all good.
You sure? Mmm-hmm. Positive.
The Fixers came. They took the body and everything.
Okay, then, um...
I guess I could try again tomorrow.
Good. Good. Yeah. That's good.
You can keep an eye on your brother for me.
Yeah, of course.
Is he in his room?
I guess.
(MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS) (BOYS GIGGLING)
JOSIE: Alex?
What's wrong?
(MUSIC STOPS)
I swear I heard my mom's voice.
Your door's locked, isn't it?
Yeah. But...
Is she, like, super Jesus-y or something?
No. JOSIE: Alex?
F my life. Okay.
Oh, you got to go. What?
Just...
I'll explain later. Just tell her.
You wear women's jeans. She knows.
You don't understand.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) JOSIE: Are you in there?
ALEX: Just a sec. Window ninja. So hot.
Shut up. It is.
JOSIE: Alex?
(KNOCKING CONTINUES) I know.
(DOOR KNOB RATTLING)
Now go. JOSIE: Open up.
Um...
Hi, Mom.
Really?
ALEX: He's been in my class, Mom.
I know him.
If he's in the game, it doesn't matter.
If I got a box with one of your classmate's parents in it,
you won't help me get them?
That's so messed up, Mom.
If it's that
or Megan getting taken again or you getting taken...
(MICROWAVE BEEPING)
Look, this is the life we've been given.
I'm doing the best I can.
(CAR APPROACHES)
Stay here. (MICROWAVE BEEPS)
Uh...
The guy's been dead for three hours. The corpse is barely cold.
(STAMMERING) Okay, hey, I don't make the schedule.
They just tell me where to put them.
Get off my property.
Right there is fine.
(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)
(CAR DOOR SHUTS)
(ENGINE STARTING)
MEGAN: What's going on? Box.
Already?
He's cute.
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
JACOB: This one?
ELLIE: Yeah.
Clothes. Toothbrush.
Anything else you need?
Mr. Pup.
Mr. Pup?
(DOOR OPENS)
Okay.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Which room is yours?
Here.
All right, I want you to grab
whatever clothes you think you're gonna need, all right?
You should pack up.
We don't have a lot of time.
It's okay.
(GROANS)
(GRUNTING)
(SOBBING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(KNOCKING CONTINUES)
Yeah?
Oh, hey. You're not Ian.
I'm Steve.
I'm Ian's brother.
You know, I'm just watching my... His daughter. My niece.
Oh, got you. I'm Ross.
I'm Ian's neighbor from right across the street over there.
Okay.
I'm sorry to bug you so early. This is the dumbest thing.
I locked myself out of my house.
Left my wallet, my keys, my phone.
Wondering if I could come in, use the phone, call a locksmith?
It's just really not a good time, man. I'm sorry.
Come on, dude. Are you serious? It's like...
I'm gonna have to walk, like, a mile down the hill to find a payphone.
No. Look, I'm sorry. Why don't you try...
Try the Hendersons, all right?
They wake up early.
Everything okay in there?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Right, Ellie? Yeah. See? Everything's fine.
Look, man, I really got to go clean myself up, okay?
I'm really sorry, I can't help you out. All right, good luck.
Right, get your stuff. We got to move.
Got everything you need?
Yeah.
Thank you
for not saying anything to your neighbor.
He's not our neighbor.
That guy?
I've never seen him before.
(GLASS SHATTERING) (BREATHING HEAVILY)
You stay right here.
Don't come out of this room unless I tell you. You hear me?
It's gonna be okay.
(GUNSHOT)
(BOTH GRUNTING) (GUNSHOT)

(PANTING)
No, no, no!
