- Hey Adam, I think we're done playing hide and seek.

I think it's about bedtime.

Adam?

Look, I really don't feel like playing anymore.

It's time for bed.

(man speaking faintly on TV)

Are you in your room, Adam?

Adam?

Oh, this is getting ridiculous.

Adam, where are you?

(Cindy gasping) (cloth rustling)

Hey, Adam!

Come on!

Stop!

Stop, it's time for bed.

This is enough.

- Why did you make popcorn if

I am going to bed right now?

- Because this is for me

and Bobby.

- Who is Bobby?

- None of your business.

It's bedtime now.

(Adam groaning) Come on.

- But I forgot my iPad.

It's still out in the gazebo.

- Adam, are you kidding me?

- I also have to practice my lines for Gypsy.

I need that iPad.

- Your mom is gonna kill you if that gets messed up, go!

Hurry, run!

(crickets chirping)

(door rattling)

(distant thudding)

- [Adam] What was that noise?

(sticks crackling)

(Adam yelping)

(crickets chirping)

- [Cindy] Did you get your tablet?

- [Adam] Yes.

- Did you plug it in?

- Yes.

- All right.

Well, I had a great night with you

even though we played tons and tons of hide and seek

and I don't think I ever wanna play again.

- Tell my parents that I did a great job practicing.

Tell them

I did the best.

- All right. - Gypsy!

- All right, lay down.

The first thing I'll tell them when they come in the door

is that you did a wonderful job.

I won't even tell them that you left your iPad outside.

How about that?

- Thank you!

- You're welcome.

Goodnight.

Sweet dreams.

Don't get up though.

Stay in bed.

- Oh, okay. - All right.

Goodnight.

(man faintly speaking on TV)

Hey, Bobby.

Good.

I just put Adam down.

It was good.

We played tons and tons of hide and seek.

So, that was fun.

Well, I was thinking,

I have a few hours until the parents come home,

so I thought maybe it would be nice if you...

Are you serious?

Homework...

on a Friday night...

when we can be alone...

for hours.

All right.

No, whatever.

If that's what you'd rather do.

Okay, well, if you change your mind you know where I am.

Yeah, I love you too.

Bye.

- [Sarah] Jason, hey!

- Hi.

- What's up?

How's it going?

- [Jason] Fine.

- Oh.

Oh, I forgot to ask you yesterday.

On the math homework, for number six, did you get it?

- No, I didn't do it.

- [Sarah] You didn't do it?

Why didn't you do your homework?

You usually do your homework.

- I didn't feel like it.

- Oh.

Did you do the social studies project?

I think it's due today.

- No, didn't have time.

- Oh.

Hey, I just, is something bothering you?

- Yeah, my dad hates me.

- Hey, your dad can't hate you, he's your parent.

- I wake up three minutes late for school, he beats me.

He wants me to be a perfect athlete, perfect student.

I can't be, there's better kids.

- Wow.

You know, that's not right, he shouldn't do that.

Can't you at least talk to your mom?

- No, he doesn't like that.

- You can't call her or even text her at all?

- No, he'll find out.

- [Sarah] Is he making you participate in sports?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

Well, I'll help you on all the homework

so that you can get good grades for him.

- Thank you.

- You should text me after school, maybe we can go to the orchard.

- [Jason] I'm not going to soccer, so that sounds fun.

- [Sarah] Okay, sure.

(dramatic piano music)

(chickens clucking)

- [Boy] Moo!

- [Woman] You wanna go to the ducks?

- [Boy] I need some milk!

Who needs some milk?

(people chattering)

- Why are they so tiny?

(Sarah speaking faintly)

- Yeah.

- [Boy] Don't scare me!

- So how's life at home with your parents?

- It's pretty good.

I mean, my mom and I do girly stuff all the time

and my dad's usually at work.

I don't have any complaints.

- That sounds fun.

- It is fun but sometimes I spend time in my room

and I go on my computer and draw.

- [Jason] That's cool.

- [Sarah] You know, I shoulda brought money.

- Yeah, I'm kinda hungry.

- You know, speaking of food,

isn't it almost time for dinner?

- Yep. - We better get you home.

- [Jason] Yeah, we better get home.

- Or you're gonna get stabbed otherwise.

You know, I really do hope things get better.

- Yeah, I hope they get better too.

(boy mimicking bird crowing)

(crickets chirping)

- [Man On TV] One of the greatest elements

of being a teacher is not just what happens

inside the classroom but all the opportunities

that are outside the classroom as well.

- Babe, let's go to bed.

- Mmmm.

Forgive me for not wanting to sleep

on the caution tape upstairs that's fucking everywhere.

- I know how you feel. I just think it would be good for us

to sleep in our bed tonight together.

- Okay, well, I don't wanna do that

and I'm gonna sleep here one more night

and then I'm checking into a hotel tomorrow.

So...

I think we need to sell this house

- Sell this--

- I can't live here anymore.

- What are you saying,

sell this house? - How can you

live here anymore?

- Are you kidding me?

We can't sell this house.

- [Judy] Our son is seven years old.

I want you to tell me what you think the chances are

of him coming back.

- What the chances are?

How am I supposed to--

- [Judy] Realistically.

- Judy, all we can do is pray

and hope for the best. - Pray?

- Yes, pray.

We gotta continue to live our lives.

I love Adam just as much as you

but we can't wallow in this misery every day,

a misery that isn't even our fault.

(Steven slurping)

Someone broke into our house

when we weren't even there.

How much longer are you gonna continue to blame yourself?

How much can a teenage babysitter do on her own?

- Maybe we wouldn't need a babysitter if you were home.

- Oh, yeah.

Let's start this argument again.

- I just don't understand

why everything has to be so logical.

It's never emotion.

I'm gonna go to bed.

- [Steven] All right, go to bed.

Get out of here.

(menacing music)

(man heavily breathing)

(ominous music)

(Adam moaning)

- Where am I, where's my mom?

(Adam crying)

Where am I?

Help me!

Please, let me out now!

Where's my mom?

Where am I? (Adam crying)

Help me, please!

Who's there?

Help me!

- [Man] Your mother's not gonna save you!

She's a dumb bitch!

(ominous music)

(man heavily breathing)

(Adam groaning)

This is how it was meant to be!

Trust me, you're better off with me!

(man groaning) (Adam yelping)

(man groaning) (Adam screaming)

(Adam crying)

(people chattering)

- Crossbar challenge!

Aw!

- [Sarah] Jason, I can't believe

that you're home alone for once.

- [Jason On Phone] Yeah, I never have the house alone.

I'm shocked.

- Where do you think your dad is?

- He's probably at the bar, drinking.

- [Sarah] Oh.

Well, I mean, you can use this time you know

to catch up on things that you missed for school.

- [Jason On Phone] Nah, I'm not gonna do my homework.

I never do it.

- Well, Jason, I don't want you to be upset.

I mean, a lot of other kids have problems at home

and I don't want you to fail school either.

They could put you on probation for soccer

if you fail another class.

- [Jason On Phone] I don't care

if I get kicked off the team.

- [Sarah] All right, well,

what're you gonna do tomorrow?

- Maybe you can come around to my soccer game

if you're not doing anything.

- Well, I would really like that, Jason.

- [Jason On Phone] Yeah, you can come watch me play soccer.

All right, I'm gonna go to bed now.

- All right.

Guess I'll see you tomorrow. - [Jason On Phone] All right.

- [Sarah On Phone] Bye.

(birds chirping)

(people chattering)

- [Young Boy] You're gonna break it.

(bird squawking)

Let me open it for you!

Now press the button.

- [Boy] Dude, I am honestly so shocked that Spencer scored.

I never thought I'd see the day.

- He's better than you think.

- I'm surprised coach hasn't sat you yet.

You've skipped practice like every other day.

- Yeah, I guess.

- Why don't you like it anymore?

You had fun at summer camp.

- I'm just not feeling soccer anymore.

I'm just tired of it.

- Well, did you hear coach

is bringing us out for pizza Wednesday?

- Pfft, why do you like him so much?

- I don't know, he's like a second dad to me.

- Pfft, wow.

- Oh, it's getting late, we should probably head home.

We have a curfew now.

- What curfew?

- The cops gave us one now because

another kid, you know, Sarah Deveraux in our math class,

she went missing.

- She went missing?

- Yeah.

You still coming?

- I don't think so.

I gotta pass, I'm going home.

(dramatic piano music)

(crickets chirping)

(sinister music)

(Jason groaning)

(door thudding)

(footsteps stomping)

(eerie music)

(man heavily breathing)

(eerie music)

(metal shovel clinking)

(ominous music)

(whip thudding)

(Sarah gasping)

- Wake up!

Snap out of it.

- Where am I?

- Look around, you stupid.

- Who are you?

- That's not the question.

The question is, why are you here?

Why have I brought you here?

Sarah, do you have any idea why I brought you here?

- [Sarah] No!

(Sarah whimpering)

- Jason, wake up!

(ominous music)

Wake up!

You have to have some kind of idea

why I brought you here today!

- No.

- [Man] Don't play stupid. (whip smacking)

- [Sarah] How do you know us?

How do you know our names?

- I know everything about you.

Everything!

(Sarah whimpering)

(whip smacking)

This should be fun.

(lighter clicking)

So,

the reason I brought you here today,

in case you were wondering,

is because karma needs to be created.

It's not something that follows people around in the air.

It's created

by revenge.

And that's why you're here.

Everyone's done stuff wrong.

You know, everyone makes mistakes

but you have to learn from them somehow.

And that's why you're here.

Hopefully they won't make the same mistakes again.

I know they won't make the same mistakes again.

(ominous music)

- What're we gonna do, Jason?

- I don't know.

- How do you like these chains around your necks?

You feel pretty helpless, don't you?

I like it.

There we go.

So if you don't cooperate,

you will be choked.

If that hasn't been made clear.

Now you can be my pets for the day.

- What're you gonna do to us?

- Shut up.

I'm about to show you if you come along.

Well, come on.

Come on, let's go.

(ominous music)

Take you into the other room.

Do you wanna get choked?

I'll show you guys, I got the knives over there,

which I'll probably use on you.

You know, you have your saws, your whips,

your handcuffs.

You know, the basic necessities of a torture chamber.

You know, I don't really know what I'm doing

but I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far.

What do you think?

I've been waiting a long time for this.

Feels so good.

Such a great feeling of power.

I like torturing people.

Come on, don't fight me.

You'll regret it, trust me.

I don't wanna kill you yet.

So please cooperate.

You remember Adam?

Cute little kid.

I had a fun time with him.

He was the first kid I ever killed.

It's like a passion.

It's like something just...

I don't wanna stop, it's just inside me.

It's like a fire burning inside of you, you just wanna...

Once you kill once, you just don't wanna stop.

It's like an addiction.

Come on.

Goddamn it, let's go!

I don't give a shit about your knees.

Cry about it.

Actually, I think, I think I should show you

what I did to Adam.

I think that will benefit you guys well,

show you guys what's going on.

I'm not fucking around.

- God somebody help me, please.

(Sarah crying)

- I like hearing people suffer.

I know what it feels like.

(ominous music)

Get down.

You're gonna hang out here for a little bit.

(handcuffs cranking)

You don't even matter to your friend.

(ominous music)

Here we go.

Let me tighten it up a little bit.

(Sarah crying)

That should be tight enough for you.

All right, guys.

So, I'm heading out.

Have a nice night.

You can do whatever you want.

Have fun over there while you're locked up.

I think it would be pretty stupid

for you guys to try to escape but,

I mean, if you're that dumb, go for it,

and I'll see you guys tomorrow.

(ominous music)

- Jason, what're we gonna do?

- Nothing right now.

He's not gonna kill us yet.

- How do you know that?

- He would've killed us already.

He's not gonna kill us.

He just wants information about us.

He tortures people to get stuff out of them.

- No, but if one of us can get out of here

we can break the other one out.

- [Jason] The only way you're getting out

is if you break your thumb, or peel the skin off.

Just calm down.

- I would rather do that than stay down here.

- [Jason] You can't, just wait for him.

He's not gonna do anything.

- What if we don't see our parents again?

- Just calm down, we will.

You're not alone, I'm here with you.

(traffic whooshing)

(birds chirping)

- Thanks.

The detective told me that most of these kidnappings

are done by a relative,

like a crazy aunt or uncle

or something in a divorce situation.

He said less than one percent of these things

are committed by a stranger.

- No relative of mine took my daughter.

- No, no, I know, I considered it.

It's just, when I found out your daughter was missing too,

it has to be some stranger in the area.

- I don't know what possesses someone

to just abduct a child,

a small innocent child,

can't help themselves.

- We can't even begin to understand it.

The person who took our children is sick.

They're mentally ill.

They have a chemical imbalance that they were born with.

- Are you saying mental illness is an excuse

for our missing children who could possibly be dead?

- I'm just saying,

mental illness is something...

I don't know what I'm saying.

- I would never be able to see this person as a human being.

I'm sorry.

Judy, back in high school or middle school,

maybe even elementary school,

do you remember anything, maybe with a boyfriend,

that involved bullying of any sort?

By any chance?

- What are you asking me?

- Judy, the last kid that was abducted

was Jared Andrews' son.

We all went to school together.

Do you remember him?

- You think someone is after us

'cause of something we've done?

I've never hurt anyone.

(Jennifer sighing)

- I'm sorry, I'm tired.

Glad our lovely fucking husbands

could have this conversation with us.

- I can't go home.

I can't face Steven.

He acts like it's our fucking cat that ran away

and that Adam's just gonna come running home.

I told him I'm checking into a hotel.

- You do not check into a fucking hotel.

You can stay here whenever you want, okay?

(ominous music)

- Why us?

How did he even know we were friends?

- I don't know.

Maybe he's just taking random children.

You didn't know Adam, did you?

- No, I didn't.

- We're only 12 years old.

What could we have possibly done to this guy?

We don't know him.

- Maybe we do and we don't know it.

(ominous music)

- Sir.

- Yes? - Whatever we did,

we're really sorry.

(man laughing)

- You didn't do anything, you dumb ass!

This isn't about you.

That's the whole point.

- If we didn't do anything,

why are we here, what do you need?

We can help you.

- I need you to know

people can be so cruel sometimes,

especially kids.

They just think they can do whatever the fuck they want.

With no consequences.

Just trying to fit in and look better like...

It's bullshit!

I don't get it.

I know they don't have any bad intentions but...

But it pisses me the fuck off.

Sarah, your mom,

Jason, your dad,

and Adam's mom,

I knew them when I was young as a kid.

(ominous music)

(people chattering)

(crickets chirping)

(birds chirping)

- Yo, pussy!

Yo!

If you're gonna sit out of gym class again

because you're a fucking weirdo,

you sit there and you do nothing at all, all right?

Don't fucking talk to Judy and Jennifer.

They think you're weird as shit, all right?

Just sit there and do nothing.

Judy and Jennifer do not wanna fucking talk to you,

all right? Why do you even sit out of gym class?

Because you're a fucking weirdo?

Huh?

- I'm just not good at sports.

- Yeah, no shit you're not

because you're fucking weird as hall.

Do you even like girls, bro?

They say most students who don't play sports

are fucking gay.

You must be a fucking faggot. Do you know what that is?

You probably are one of them.

It's funny, people like you

make no difference in this fucking world, all right?

You have no social skills.

You should just go kill yourself because

you're not gonna be able to do anything in life, all right?

When you try and talk to me or Judy or Jennifer,

you're fucking embarrassing yourself, all right?

All right, you fucking pussy?

(crickets chirping)

(boy sniffling)

- Your parents made life so miserable for me

and I never really got over it.

What do they think, they can just make fun of anyone?

Just because I was different,

that's literally the only reason.

They're so unintelligent they didn't even see this coming.

Stupid motherfuckers.

(man chuckling)

Who would've thought I'd be paying them back 20 years later.

- My mom is a good person.

- Oh my God!

(shovel banging) (ominous music)

That's it!

I heard enough!

You're coming with me!

Shut up, stop crying!

(Sarah crying)

Let's go!

(Sarah crying)

Get down!

Get down!

(Sarah crying)

Stay still.

(Sarah whimpering)

(Sarah screaming)

Yeah!

(man laughing)

- No!

- [Man] Yes!

How's that feel, digging into your skin?

- Ow!

(Sarah screaming)

(Sarah wailing)

- Shut up!

I'll go get the fucking whip!

Oh.

(Sarah gasping) My favorite.

(Sarah crying)

How's that feel, you little bitch?

(Sarah yelping)

Oh, it's nice and tight.

I love the fresh blood!

(man laughing)

Red's my favorite color.

(Sarah whimpering)

Is it digging into your skin enough yet?

It must be.

Yes!

(sinister music)

(Sarah crying)

Look at that face.

The blood.

This is the perfect setup.

I love it, this is my favorite part.

(Sarah crying)

(ominous music)

Wake up, you little bastards.

Here, you hungry?

There you go, you're only supposed to eat this shit

when you're hungry and starving.

I mean, I guess

you haven't eaten in awhile, so...

there you go.

Enjoy.

(man chuckling)

I know it kinda tastes like shit but

it's better than nothing, right?

Be thankful, little pricks.

See, I fed you.

I obviously don't have anything against you guys.

So,

it's a shame that this has to happen.

It honestly is.

I feel so bad.

It's just something that has to be done.

This isn't my fault, it's not your fault.

I mean, it just kinda...

Shit happens, you know?

I want you to sit here and think about everything.

Think about why you're here and what's going to happen.

I'll just give you some time alone.

(man faintly speaking on TV)

- Jennifer!

Jennifer!

Kevin?

Jennifer!

Jennifer!

Jennifer, seriously, are you home?

Kevin?

I had a really weird dream.

Jennifer!

Are you awake?

Kevin?

Jennifer!

(Judy screaming)

(ominous music)

(Judy screaming)

Jennifer!

(Judy screaming)

(eerie music)

(Judy screaming)

(head thudding)

(eerie music)

- Being down here and being at home

are like the same thing.

They both abuse me.

They're like strangers to me

and my dad doesn't even wanna know who I am.

- You know, Jason, I'm glad you're here with me.

I couldn't do this alone.

I'm not strong enough.

- Yes you are.

Whatever happens,

neither of us are going anywhere.

- Do you think we're gonna die down here?

- Whatever happens,

I'm glad I met you.

You're a good friend.

- Me too.

- We should get some sleep before he comes down.

- I'll try.

(ominous music)

(Sarah gasping)

No, I can't take this anymore.

(sinister music)

- [Jason] What are you doing?

- I have to get out of here! I can't take this anymore!

- Stop, he's gonna get mad!

- I don't care anymore, Jason!

- [Jason] Relax! - We have to get out of here!

- No. - He's gonna do things to us!

We have to, we don't have a choice!

- Sit back, relax. - No!

I'm gonna put my hand through the cuff.

- [Jason] We're stuck!

- I don't care!

Ow, it hurts!

- [Jason] Sarah, just stop!

Stop! - No!

I'm gonna break my thumb. - No.

- I'm gonna get my hand through.

- Stop!

Ow!

(Sarah whimpering) It hurts.

- [Jason] We're stuck.

- [Sarah] We have to get out of here.

- Relax! - Jason.

(Sarah groaning)

- You're not gonna get out.

He's gonna kill us!

(ominous music)

(Sarah groaning)

(Sarah yelling)

- I have to get you out! - Don't go!

No!

(ominous music)

Stop, what're you doing?

No, put that back!

Put that back!

- [Sarah] Move!

- No! - I have to try!

- He's gonna come.

(ominous music)

He's gonna get you. - Stay still!

- Don't!

(metal clanking)

- I'll break you out! - Stop!

No, we're stuck!

- I'm gonna break it!

- No, stop!

Stop!

- [Sarah] It's gonna break.

- Sarah, he's right, stop, stop!

(sinister music) Stop!

No!

No!

Why?

Sarah?

No!

(blood trickling)

No.

(ominous music)

Sarah.

(Sarah gagging)

- [Man] Come on, you're coming with me.

- [Jason] No, stop!

I told her not to do that! - Stop fighting me!

Shut up, I don't believe anything you have to fucking say!

- She did it on her own.

- [Man] I don't give a shit what she did.

She's fucking dead now, it doesn't fucking matter.

- Stop! - You're fucking next!

- [Jason] No!

- [Man] Shut up!

Fucking knock it off!

I'm about tired of your fucking bullshit already.

(ominous music)

- [Jason] No!

Stop!

- You're really-- - It's not my fault!

- Pissing me off.

Get down!

Get the fuck down!

Perfect!

Stay there!

(sinister music)

Stupid.

(whip smacking)

Now you look so helpless. - Ow!

- [Man] Does that feel good?

(Jason groaning)

It's all in the wrist!

(whip smacking)

I never thought you would've fucking ended up like her!

- Stop!

- You like that?

Let me get the other one!

(sinister music)

(whip smacking) (Jason groaning)

You really fucking pissed me off this time, Jason!

Ended up just like Sarah!

I thought you were different!

You're just like the other ones!

Now you're gonna fucking pay!

(whip smacking)

(man groaning)

I've had enough of this bullshit!

(Jason sniffling)

This is just how I dreamt of it.

(man laughing)

I'm starting to get used to this now, aren't I?

I'm getting the hang of this.

It's a lot of fun beating your ass.

(paddle smacking)

Does that feel good? (paddle thudding)

- [Jason] No.

(paddle thudding)

(Jason whimpering)

(eerie music)

(man sighing)

(lighter clicking)

(somber piano music)

(man sighing)

(dramatic violin music)

(Jason sighing)

- I didn't tell you everything, Jason.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I have a job.

I have a home.

I don't know why I would ever

think about doing this to anybody.

What's wrong with me?

Jason, your parents,

you know, they, they...

I do have a bad past.

I don't remember everything they did.

I chose to block it out.

But it wasn't all your parents.

(man crying) My parents.

The way my parents treated me,

all this aggression inside of me.

Because of my fucking parents!

(man sniffling)

It's fucking bullshit

what they did to me.

You don't understand.

The shit that I had to go through...

(man crying)

as a kid.

(man crying)

You just wouldn't understand.

But I just want you to know that

it wasn't just your parents' fault.

My parents had a lot to do with it.

Jason,

I really do like you, man.

I don't have anything against you.

If I did choose to let you go,

would you go to the police?

Would you go to your mother's?

Would you tell your father?

What would you do?

- None of those.

I wanna stay here with you.

I don't wanna go back to my dad.

He hates me.

I want you to kill him...

for me.

(Jason sniffling)

- I can't believe you just said that.

If that's really what you want,

I can do that for you.

It's one thing I can do.
