(Iris panting)

(footsteps tapping)

(birds chirping)

[Richard] And what did you see?

I saw a man standing behind a car

with a g*n in his hand and a ski mask on.

And was the vehicle this

man was standing behind

the same make and model as

the defendant's vehicle?

Yes, that is correct.

Ah!

(Sally gasping)

(grunts) Come here! Come here!

(Sally choking)

(eyeball squishing)

Ah!

Ah! Uh!

(Sally gasping)

(g*n clacking)

(Sally whimpering)

(switch clicking)

(gasps) Scott?

You son of a b*tch!

Goodnight, Sally.

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

(stenotype clicking)

So full of rage and hate for Sally

that he fired that g*n

until it would fire no more.

But as you can see,

now before she was able to

inflict a little damage upon him.

The courts failed Sally.

We failed Sally because he stalked her

and he shot her until she was dead.

Until (exhales) he was positive

that she would breathe no more.

Now, (sniffs) the defense has painted you

a picture full of coincidences.

Coincidences, however, that point

to only one person,

the defendant.

We have DNA evidence of his blood

inside the house, on Sally's body,

and more importantly,

underneath her fingernails.

She fought him.

She fought for her life.

We have DNA evidence

and the rope that he left behind,

that we've proven that he purchased

a week prior to murdering Sally.

(stenotype clicking)

Evidence, evidence, evidence

of this crime for which you

can only find one verdict.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

(soft dramatic music)

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached your verdict?

Yes, Your Honor, we have.

(folder rustling)

Thank you.

(folder rustling)

Will the defendant please rise?

(folder rustling)

"The State Versus Scott Isaac Newman.

Verdict, count one.

We the jury duly impaneled

and sworn in the above

entitled action upon our

oath to find the defendant

as to count one, first

degree m*rder, guilty.

(crowd chattering)

(handcuffs clacking)

(phone ringing)

(gavel banging)

(receiver clacking)

State Attorney Richard

Nightingale's office.

How can I help you?

Yeah, let me see what

his schedule is like.

There was never a doubt. (Laughs)

[Jackie] Oh, Dawn's on the phone, sir.

She's been trying to get a hold of you.

- Who?

- Dawn, your wife.

Oh, yeah. Just tell

her I'll call her back.

- Okay.

- And we're still on

for lunch Monday. Right?

- You know I am.

Great.

(soft dramatic music)

(Aaron exhales and scoffs)

Oh, man.

I don't understand why he

just doesn't divorce her.

Well, I bet he wished he had now.

He was trying to collect on

that big insurance policy.

Yeah, but he traded life term

policy for a life sentence.

Yes, he did.

(bottle tapping)

(sighs) How long you

been in law, Richard?

Well, long enough to know

it takes more than evidence.

Performance.

- "Performance?"

Yep.

See, you educate the jury with evidence,

but you engage them with performance,

then the only thing the

jury's missing is the popcorn.

Cheers.

- Looking to forward

your career or win an award?

Oh, I'll accept the

award. I don't like lose.

(both gulping)

Another?

- No, no.

Please, sit down.

(drink trickling)

(Richard sighing)

Richard, I've been a district

attorney for a long time

and I have never had a

more successful prosecutor.

There's an opening I want you to consider.

- "An opening?"

- Darcy's retiring.

I want you to be my deputy chief.

Well, I guess this is a

celebration on two counts then.

Ah, what about Simon though?

He's not gonna be too happy.

If that guy worked half

as much as he complains,

he'd only have to complain

half as much as he works.

(laughs) That's a good one.

(phone buzzing)

Ah, I'm sorry Aaron.

Ah, I'm gonna have to take

this call, if you'd excuse me.

[Aaron] Sure.

- I'll consider it.

- Hmm.

(exhales) We good for the weekend?

Good. Nope.

Won't be a problem.

That was the agreement.

(tense music)

(Richard exhaling)

(phone beeping)

Any calls, Jackie?

[Jackie] Just your wife.

Don? Okay.

Yeah, no problem.

(door clicking)

Mm-hmm.

Hmm. Okay.

Yep. Gotta go, bye.

Hang on, Iris. Where you going?

- Out.

- Come back here.

Oh my God, Mom. Don't

go all extra on me.

I only took a couple.

I don't care about the grapes, Iris.

- Okay. What then?

- Well, I just talked

to your father and he won his case today,

and he wants to celebrate.

Oh, okay. What do I care?

Well, I thought that

maybe, ah, you might wanna...

Spill the tea, Mom.

Ah, what are you saying?

[Iris] What do you want?

Oh, well he wants to go to the cabin

and I want you to come with us.

Okay. So then just chill without me.

It's important to your father, Iris.

(sighs) Okay, why would I

wanna hang out with you two OPs

and then listen to Pop rag on you

about your drinking all weekend?

Besides, I planned staying with the squad.

I thought you liked going to the cabin.

Yeah, yeah, I liked going

when I was like eight.

I'll buy you that

COACH purse you wanted.

(footsteps thudding)

Okay. Now that hits different.

Let me process that and I'll let you know.

(sighs) Don't stay up too late. Okay?

We're leaving early.

(soft dramatic music)

(door clicks and thuds)

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

All right, all right. I think that's it.

You ready?

(luggage rolling)

What you forget something? What?

Yes.

Thank you.

- (sighs) Don't thank me.

Thank COACH.

- Who's coach?

- Nevermind.

- Well?

- Well what?

I thought it was a weekend

trip for your mom and I.

It, it it was, but I told

her she can come with us.

Look, Pop, if you want me to hang here,

it's totally fine with me, all good.

Iris, get in the car, get

in the car, get in the car.

(Dawn exhaling)

Really, Dawn?

Yeah, if she doesn't go, I don't go.

- Okay, hop in the car.

- Okay.

Let's, let's just go. (Sighs)

(luggage clattering)

(door clicks)

(Richard sighing)

(door bangs)

(Richard sighing)

You know what, girls? I forgot something.

I'll be right back.

You know, Pop didn't seem

very amped that I'm going.

Oh, you know, your father's just upset

'cause it wasn't his idea.

He likes to be in control.

(Iris inhales and exhales)

Hey, thought since

you were coming along,

we could go fishing.

Yeah? All right.

(gear clattering)

Yeah.

(trunk banging)

All right.

(door clicking)

(Richard sighing)

- What's that for?

- What's what for?

- The g*n, Richard.

- Oh, liberals.

(exhales) I'm kidding.

Better to have it and not need it.

(sighs) Well, I prefer

we didn't have it at all.

Well, criminals remind me all the time

that we don't live in that world though.

God, I was hoping we weren't gonna like

talk about politics all the way there.

(bright rock music)

(engine humming)

(Dawn exhaling)

(engine humming)

[Richard] Our little,

humble abode, ladies.

- Thank you.

- Yep.

(Richard sighing)

(Dawn sighing)

All right.

(chuckles) She is more

and more like you every day.

Me? She's your daughter.

She's acting like she

doesn't wanna be here.

(keys jangling)

Not like you didn't either.

(bottle and glass tapping)

(bottle opener clattering)

[Dawn] So, did he have a set of keys?

[Richard] Ah, no, he broke in.

Well, I'm confused 'cause on the news,

they said that she had two

restraining orders against him.

Uh, you know the news doesn't always

give you the whole story.

Somebody really wants to get you,

there's not much that's gonna stop 'em.

When that happens, nothing

applies until somebody dies.

- Oh, that is tragic.

- Yeah, it is.

But the case resulted in

a promotion for me, so.

Hey, honey, grab a chair. Sit with us.

- Hey.

- Oh, wow.

You're drinking again.

- Oh, why do you care?

Uh, okay. Don't get all salty with me.

You're the one with the mood.

Ladies, let's just keep it calm, please.

Okay, whatever. I'm gonna crash.

We're still on for

fishing tomorrow, right?

Um, yeah, sure.

See you manana.

- Manana.

- Good night.

[Iris] Mm-hmm.

What's gotten into her lately?

Again, she's just like you.

What are you talking

about? She snapped at me.

(scoffs) Okay.

Oh, what? Didn't ask you

what you're drinking, did she?

No.

- I'm drinking tea, Dawn.

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

Besides you're doing the same thing.

(swallows) The same what?

Snapping at me.

Okay, I'm done.

- Goodnight.

- Mm-hmm.

(birds chirping)

- Ready to go?

- Yeah.

Let me just get some water.

Oh, already got it in the ice test.

- Where's Mom?

- Still sleeping.

More like hungover. (Chuckles)

(door clicking)

(Richard sighing)

(rod clattering)

(door thudding)

(soft dramatic music)

- Are we taking the car?

No, silly. The lake's

just right down the hill.

(both chuckling)

(ducks squawking)

(reel rattling)

(lure splashing)

(insects chittering)

It's been a minute since we did this.

Hmm. "A minute?"

Seems like years.

Hard to get you and your mom out here.

Mom's never been down with the woods.

She gets lost just walking the hill.

(chuckles) Yeah, she does.

(Iris chuckling)

I was beginning to think that I'd never

get you out here again, though.

You know, I cherish these moments.

Well, I'm not your little girl anymore.

(sighs) No, I suppose not.

You know, I didn't even think

you wanted me here, anyways.

Guilty as charged.

I just thought that your mom and I

could use a little weekend time alone,

but turns out she wanted us

together as a family, so.

(chuckles) You two are so much alike.

I'm nothing like her.

(soft dramatic music)

You know, you'll have

better luck catching a fish

than getting service on the boat, so.

(Iris exhaling)

You know, whatever. I'm done.

All right. Uh, Iris,

where are you going?

To the cabin.

What, what about the ice chest?

Just dump it, Pop. I'm

sure you can handle it.

- Uh. (Sighs)

- Geez.

(Richard sighing)

Iris, hey, put the, ah,

poles and the tackle box

in the car so we don't

forget 'em tomorrow, please.

(Iris sighing)

And get the ice chest too.

Why can't you do it?

(door clicking)

(birds chirping)

Dawn?

(breathes uneasily) There you are.

(scoffs) Ah, yeah.

Where else would I be?

(Richard breathing uneasily)

I don't know, maybe, I thought

you might have gone for a walk.

Why would I do that?

You know how I feel about the woods.

Where's Iris?

- She's...

(door slamming)

Drinking again or have you sobered up?

Richard, say something.

What do you want me

to do? She's not wrong.

You have a problem.

(book slamming)

- Screw you, Richard.

The only reason I came

on the trip this weekend

was to have some family time.

(chair creaking)

And has that happened? No.

We haven't spent five minutes

in the same room together!

(slurps) Hmm.

So glad I came.

(soft dramatic music)

(glass shattering)

(Dawn exhaling)

(birds chirping)

(tense music)

(engine humming)

(g*n clacking)

You got yours?

Ah, Porter, what, what

are we stopping for?

We walk from here.

Port, Porter, you mean out there?

(chuckles) Well we're

not gonna walk in here.

You mean, we just gonna leave a car here?

- Mm-hmm.

- What if someone finds it

and traces it to us?

- Ain't gonna happen.

I rented this car and I used a fake ID.

That don't even look like you.

Ah, close enough.

(Garrett sighing)

Besides, those places

are always so damn busy

trying to up sell you on insurance,

they don't pay attention

to half the sh*t they're doing anyway.

Come on, let's go.

(doors click and thud)

(tense music)

(crickets chirping)

(fingers tapping)

(Richard sighing)

Shoes on the couch?

- Yeah, I'm cold.

- Hmm.

That makes sense.

The rest of you isn't much warmer.

What?

You know what? (Exhales)

I think I figured it out.

I figured out why you

and Iris don't get along.

- Can't wait to hear it.

- Yeah.

You can't even stay sober long enough

to have a coherent conversation.

(Dawn laughing)

Oh, that's hilarious, isn't it?

- Yes.

- Oh, that's funny.

- Yes, it is funny.

- Yeah, laugh it up.

Because you can talk to her, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Because you're home

long enough to what, oh, say hello.

Yeah, the way I remembered, I was there

for the both of you when you needed me.

When you had no one.

- Oh my gosh.

You are my hero. (Scoffs)

I'm not doing this with you all weekend.

- Good.

- Have another drink.

- Will do.

- Yeah.

(suspenseful music)

- Someone's here.

You expecting someone?

No, is Iris upstairs?

(knock on door)

(suspenseful music continues)

(door clicking)

Uh, can I help you?

Yes, you can. Back up.

Back up. Sit down.

Come on, sit down.

(door slamming)

Here. Tie her up.

Let's go.

(glass tapping)

No, no, no. Put her hands behind her back.

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

Let's go.

(drawer scraping)

(g*n clattering)

(tense music continues)

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

Put the g*n down.

Well, another guest

has arrived at the party.

What are you gonna do?

(Iris breathing heavily)

Unless you wanna end up

on the other side of hell,

you better drop that freaking g*n now.

And if I don't?

(breathes uneasily) Well

then, I guess you're not clear

on the uptake, I'm done. (Gasps)

You're gonna be if you don't drop it.

(Dawn and Iris breathing heavily)

Always cover your back door.

Garrett, take her in the other room.

No, Mom, no! (Whimpering)

What are you gonna do to her?

I ain't gonna do nothing with her.

My business is with you two.

(Iris and Dawn screaming)

- Hey!

- Sit down!

Sit down now. Sit down.

(tense music continues)

No, no!

(Aaron laughing)

(Iris gasping)

No, no!

- Ooh!

(body thudding)

(Aaron groaning)

What the hell are you doing?

This is not part of our plan.

Just I thought get a little

icing to go on the cake.

You're gonna do exactly

what we talked about doing,

otherwise you're gonna

screw this whole thing up.

Get, what are you doing?

Get down and untie me,

untie me! God! (Sobbing)

Now listen, some situations

can get seriously situated

beyond our control.

You understand me?

- All right, Porter.

I got it. Damn.

- Where's your g*n?

- It's right here.

That's hers. Where's yours?

Right here.

(intense music)

Go, Iris! Go, Iris, go!

Iris, go! Go!

[Iris] Ah! (Breathes heavily)

Iris, go!

(all grunting)

Go! (Groans)

(g*n blasting)

(blood spurting)

(body thudding)

(Iris whimpering)

Damn, you shot him.

(Iris breathing uneasily)

(g*n scraping)

You k*lled him!

(Dawn whimpering)

(glass shards clattering)

(tense music)

(rope slicing)

(Dawn breathing heavily)

Go!

(both gasping)

- Mom, they, they k*lled Pop!

We gotta get outta here! Come on!

Go, go, go, go, quick!

She's gone.

(g*ns clattering)

sh*t. They're gone.

(both breathing heavily)

Okay, come on. Get in the car.

(doorknobs clattering)

- Open it!

It's locked!

There they are!

(g*n blasting)

(Iris screaming)

- Iris, wait!

Iris!

(Iris panting)

Iris!

- Get Mama!

(water splashing)

(g*n blasting)

(Iris gasping)

(water bubbling)

Damn.

(Dawn panting)

(tense music continues)

(footsteps shuffling)

(Garrett sighing)

She in there.

What the hell are you

waiting for? Come on.

(water bubbling)

(Dawn breathing heavily)

(water sloshing)

Oh my God. Mom.

(water splashing)

(suspenseful music)

(insects chittering)

(Dawn panting)

(footsteps pattering)

Oh. Oh.

(Porter exhaling)

Porter, what's up?

Uh, it's my asthma acting up.

(inhaler hissing)

(Porter chuckling)

(chuckles) I thought

you was taking a dump.

Ah, yeah, very funny.

You know, we wouldn't even be in this mess

if you didn't get stupid.

What I got to do with your asthma?

Talking about the cabin.

You weren't so concerned

on licking the icing,

they'd be dead by now

and we wouldn't even be out here.

Then why don't we just leave?

Because I took the job

and we're gonna finish it.

(coyote howling)

What's that?

It's a coyote.

(chuckles) I wouldn't worry about them.

I think I'm gonna end up

biting you long before they do.

(Iris panting)

(wood snapping)

(Iris groaning)

Mom, help, help!

(Dawn gasping)

You hear that? Where'd that come from?

Somewhere back there.

Ow, ow, Mom!

Ow, ow! (Sobbing)

Oh my God! Ow!

Help, Mom! Mom, Mommy!

(Iris sobbing)

- You're okay.

All right. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

- But you have to get me out.

- I, shh!

I don't want them to hear. Okay?

I got you, I got. Give me your hand.

- Ow, ow.

- Shh.

- Iris, get ready to push.

- Okay.

- Can you push a little bit?

- Mommy, I'm stuck! (Groans)

- Uh!

- Ow, come on!

Come on, help me! Help!

You have to get me outta here.

- Okay, okay, okay.

We'll do it this way.

Okay, push up, okay!

(Iris groaning)

- Shh, shh, shh, shh!

- Ow, ow!

(wood creaking)

- Your foot.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

- You're okay, okay.

- Ow, ow, ow.

Shh. Here, can you stand?

Ow, ow, ow. I can get...

- It's okay.

- Ow! (Sobbing)

- Iris, Iris, shh!

- Ow, ow.

Okay, come on. It's okay.

You know it would've been a lot easier

if you weren't drunk.

- I am not drink.

Uh! The last hour sobered me up.

You're okay, come on.

- Oh, ow!

Shh. Okay.

You're okay. You're okay.

(g*n blasting)

(both gasping)

(intense music)

Go, go, go, go!

- Ow! (Groans)

- Come on, come on, Iris!

I can't! (Groaning)

(coyote howling)

(insects chittering)

(Porter breathing heavily)

(inhaler hissing)

- Yo, you good?

(exhales) Yeah, yeah. I'm good.

(exhales) Quiet.

(insects chittering)

Listen.

Something out there?

(g*n clattering)

Yeah. Only the two that we're chasing.

(inhales and exhales)

I don't hear nothing.

Where, where do you think they at?

How the hell would I know?

I'm as lost as you are.

Come on.

- (groans) Ow, ow.

- You're okay.

Mom, I have to stop. I have to.

- We can't stop, Iris.

- No, no, no, I have to.

Ow, ow, ow, ow. I have to stop.

- Okay.

- (groans) Ow.

- Let me see.

- Oh my God, it hurts so bad.

I feel like it's broken.

(pants rustling)

(Iris breathing uneasily)

Ow. Ow.

Okay, I need to make a splint.

Can you get me like some

sticks or something?

- Yes, this is good.

- Thanks.

- Right here.

- Please.

Ouch! It's too big.

Here, here's one.

- Thank you.

Um...

This should work. Here.

But maybe this, we could

use this maybe to tie it

like around your leg,

if we, it's like soft.

It's pretty soft.

(shirt tearing)

What are you do...

- What?

- What are you doing?

Iris.

- I'm making a splint, what?

No, you need that to be warm.

Yeah, okay, if I have to choose between

not being able to walk and being cold,

I'm gonna choose to be cold.

(Sighs) Fine.

Want help?

- Yeah.

(shirt tearing)

- Okay, hold the sticks.

- Okay.

Tell me if it's too tight. Okay?

[Iris] Okay.

- Is that too tight?

- Ow, no, it's fine.

(bushes rustling)

(both gasping)

What was that?

Probably those guys who are after us.

Come on, let's see if this works.

I'll help you up. (Grunts)

- Ouch, ow.

- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Up. Okay, you good?

Yeah. Okay, we have to keep going.

- Yeah.

- Wait, oh my God.

- What?

- I left my phone

at the cabin.

(Dawn sighing)

Do you have yours?

- No, Iris, I don't.

It wasn't a party when our

lives were on the line. Come on.

[Iris] Ow.

Oh. Oh.

You know, this location, it would work

a whole lot better if

it had a starting point.

(Garrett sighing)

Ah, crap.

I just lost signal again.

(owl hooting)

What's that?

It was an owl. Haven't you

ever been in the woods before?

I, I, I just...

I (mumbles), you never

been in the woods before?

Yeah, I mean, I mean, no!

You, you don't know what's out there.

Wildlife, you know?

Garrett, you've got a g*n.

You're far more of a threat

to them than they are to you.

(stomach growling)

- What's that?

That was my stomach,

you idiot. I'm starving.

Come on.

Hey, Porter, wait up. (Sighs)

We need to find our

way back to the crib.

(Iris inhales and exhales)

- "The crib?"

- The cabin. (Sighs)

- Oh.

You know, I hate to say it,

but I think we're officially lost.

Oh.

(owl hooting)

- Everything looks the same.

- Yeah, well, I get lost

in the backyard, so no help.

(inhales) My God, I'm freezing.

I'll get you a fire somehow. Somehow.

Oh my God, look, look.

(fire crackling)

Mom, do you see that?

It's a fire. It's a campfire.

We're saved!

(Iris chuckling)

Hello? Hello?

Is anybody in there? Hello?

We need...

(tent rustling)

(Dawn sobbing)

What? What is it?

No one's in there. (Sobbing)

We're not gonna make it out of here!

Oh my God. Mom, come on.

You have to chill.

We are gonna make it out of here.

You can't talk like that.

This is someone's campfire. Okay?

And they're gonna come back.

We just have to wait for them.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Let's see if there's anything

we can find that we can use.

Come on.

- Okay.

(Dawn whimpering)

(suspenseful music)

- Oh my God, sick.

- What?

Look, what I found.

- Matches, oh.

- Yeah.

(portable campfire clattering)

- What is this?

I don't know.

Oh, it's a portable campfire. (Laughs)

I guess it's better to

have it and not need it.

Here, take this.

(bag rustling)

Take that.

Oh my God, could use some water.

Yeah, we could.

- But it's empty.

- Well, now it is.

(bottles rustling)

Here.

(gasps) Oh my God. Perfect.

Look.

- What?

(switch clicking)

Oh.

The light's on but no one's home.

Mm. Funny.

Keep looking. (Groans)

(fire crackling)

(hands rubbing)

(intense music)

(Dawn screaming)

- You hear that?

- Yeah.

Think they're following us?

Why would they be following us?

(suspenseful music)

[Porter] Are you coming with me?

(Garrett chewing)

(fire crackling)

What, what, what, what? (Gasps)

Oh, sh*t.

I think they found our camper.

(breathes heavily)

Yeah. Lights out for him.

(switch clicking)

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

Come on. We have to

move. (Breathes heavily)

I have a feeling those

mother truckers were here

and I don't wanna be

here when they get back.

Get the bag, get the bag.

- Yeah.

(bag rustling)

[Iris] Let's go.

This way.

- No, this way.

(Iris groaning)

Go.

(suspenseful music continues)

(insects chittering)

I can't figure out

this damn map any better

than I could that stupid app.

I think we're gonna have to

wait till morning daylight

figure this out.

(Garrett chewing)

At least we got something

to eat back at the camp.

Yeah, with food in your mouth,

I don't have to worry about you whining

about something eating you.

(footsteps pattering)

[Iris] It doesn't make any sense.

How did they get to the

campsite before we did

if they're the ones chasing us?

I don't know. Maybe

we're walking in circles.

Really? Are you sure we haven't

scoped these trees before?

They look so different.

No. All that matters is

those two aren't scoping us.

(owl hooting)

Oh, God, do you see it?

(intense music)

- There's a house.

- What?

- Uh, look, look, look, look.

- What?

A house?

- Yes, lean forward a little.

Look. You see it?

- Do you think it's safe?

- I don't know.

It might be filled with like snakes

or worse, those two

guys trying to k*ll us.

And what's the difference?

They're both snakes.

Well, um, we need to find out.

Will you please go me?

- Me, what?

- Yes, please.

- Iris, shh, shh!

- Mom, I can barely walk.

What if I have to run?

- Okay, I understand that,

but I, I, I don't wanna get into it.

Would you please just,

please just check for us?

Geez. Throw me to the

wolves, why don't you? (Sighs)

Fine. Gimme that. (Scoffs)

- Thank you.

- (sighs) Whatever.

- Just be, shh, be quiet.

- I know.

(footsteps pattering)

(suspenseful music)

(rock clattering)

(owl hooting)

(footsteps pattering)

(both screaming)

Oh my God!

What are you doing?

- Shh, I'm sorry, I'm so...

I thought you were waiting over there?

I am so sorry. Okay?

I didn't, I got scared.

I didn't wanna be alone.

I'm sorry.

- Okay, yeah.

Join the crowd.

- I'm sorry, okay?

Sorry.

(Iris sighing)

Let's go.

(footsteps pattering)

(owl hooting)

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

(Iris breathing heavily)

(soft dramatic music)

God, what is it with

you? No one's in here.

Hello? Mom, did you hear me at all?

What?

Yeah, um, um, I just, um...

I, I think it'll be easier if

we, um, leave here at sunrise.

(Iris sighing)

Okay. It's freezing.

Gimme this.

- Oh, okay.

This can help.

Here.

(bag rustling)

(cap clacking)

(matches rattling)

(match striking)

I guess we didn't waste

money on the scouts. (Chuckles)

(chuckles) It's a match, Mom.

It's not like I'm banging

two sticks together.

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

Your father loved campfires.

(soft dramatic music continues)

- They k*lled him, Mom.

- Mm.

I watched them sh**t him.

(Iris inhales and exhales)

(branches snapping)

(both gasping)

(suspenseful music)

(fire crackling)

Should we put this out?

It could be an animal.

It could be an animal.

And this will help us.

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

Oh, thank God.

(coyote howling)

(Porter breathing heavily)

What's up?

(inhaler hissing)

(exhales) I ain't got no signal.

I think we need to find our

way up the top of this ridge.

If I could just find out

where we're at on this GPS,

I think I can get us outta here.

(sighs) What about the two after?

Ah, to hell with them. Let 'em rot.

(sighs) Besides, they're

probably as lost as we are

and we can catch up with them later.

(box rustling)

There. That's north.

I think we're right about here. Right?

Damn. There goes my battery.

(Garrett sighing)

All right, look,

it showed a building up here

on the other side of this ridge.

Not sure how far, but

if we could find that,

I think we'll rest up

there for the evening

and we'll make our way out in the morning.

(Garrett sighing)

(insects chittering)

(Iris groaning)

Is your other leg bothering you now?

No, it's my foot.

What are you doing?

I'm taking my shoes off.

Don't, Iris, you can't do that. No.

What? Why?

How am I gonna know if my

feet are blistered or not?

Because if we have to flee suddenly,

you're gonna want your shoes on.

(scoffs) Fine.

(Dawn sighing)

(shoe rustling)

(Iris inhale and exhales)

(insects chittering)

(Iris exhaling)

(coyote howling)

(Dawn exhaling)

How far back do you remember?

What do you mean?

I mean, what's your first memory?

We're on death's doorstep

and you wanna go down memory lane?

'Cause I'm afraid something

might happen to me and...

Wow. Nice to see where I rate.

Well, uh, of course I'm

concerned about you too, Iris.

(Iris scoffing)

(Dawn sighing)

There's just something I have to tell you.

Okay, spill the tea, Mom.

I'm not sure how.

Then why did you bring it up?

You know, normally if you tell a story,

you start at the beginning.

I was married before you were born.

Okay, yeah, that's usually how

it used to work for most people.

Not to Richard.

(soft dramatic music)

You weren't married to Pop?

Mm-mm.

To a man named Wagner. Ryan Wagner.

Okay. So what does

that have to do with me?

[Dawn] He died two

years after you were born.

Well, this man was my father?

Why would you never tell me that?

I am so sorry, Iris. I'm sorry.

Okay, so, so then how did

Pop even come into the picture?

Hmm?

(sniffs) Um, well, um,

(inhales and exhales) two

months later, (sniffs)

I met Richard and I just assumed

that he wouldn't wanna date a widow

with a, a young child.

Like we would be a burden or something.

And he was so, so good with you.

And I fell for him. And

he was in law school.

And he was (chuckles)

everything I thought I wanted

until he wasn't.

And I almost left him.

Why would you leave him?

Because he was a*usive.

(soft dramatic music continues)

One night, he, um...

(sighs) Ah, anyway, I called the police

and, ah, they took him to jail.

And the next morning when

I picked him up, (sniffs)

I said, "If you ever hit

me again, I will k*ll you."

And he never hit me again.

I can't believe that. Pop

would never hurt anyone.

He wouldn't, he wouldn't

ever hurt anybody.

Oh, I just wanted you

to hear it from me in case

you had to have some random DNA test

or something in the future, I just...

Did Pop love me?

You mean Richard?

Oh honey, of course,

of course he does. Did.

(Dawn sighing)

Do you love me?

Iris, that's a silly question.

You know that I do.

Really? 'Cause you never say it.

(Dawn sniffing)

I think we should get some sleep.

(Iris exhaling)

(soft dramatic music continues)

(Dawn exhaling)

(Iris sniffing)

(Iris inhales and exhales)

(birds chirping)

(tense music)

(Porter breathing heavily)

- Thank God we found it, bro.

(Dawn gasping)

(Porter breathing heavily)

Whew. (Exhales)

Hey, I knew we'd find it.

At least now we know where we're at.

[Garrett] That was lucky as hell, man.

(breathes heavily) So, that's east.

That means that way's north.

All right, why don't we

take a look inside here

and see if there's anything

we can use. (Breathes heavily)

Hey, what's that?

I don't know. A deer.

Oh.

Hey, Garrett!

- Ow!

- Grab outside!

- Iris, Iris!

(Iris screaming)

(Dawn gasping)

No, no, please!

(Porter chuckling)

- No, no!

- You should have left.

(Dawn gasping)

Let me go, dammit! Let me go!

(body slamming)

Woo! (Chuckles)

Yeah, that was quite the

little reunion, missy.

(Iris spitting)

[Garrett] Should we

go after the other one?

No. Nope, no.

We're gonna wait right here.

Yeah, Mama Duck is going to come back

after her little chick

here sooner or later.

- Mm-hmm.

- We're just gonna keep

the nest warm. (Chuckles)

(Dawn gasping)

(suspenseful music)

(Dawn panting)

Iris. Iris.

Iris!

You know, this house ain't half bad.

Yeah. If you're living on the streets.

What's your house look like?

- I have many houses.

- Oh, really?

Wherever I lay my head.

Well, welcome home.

What are you laughing at?

Maybe Mama Duck isn't coming

back for you, after all. Huh.

Whack!

(both laughing)

You know, I don't know what

you guys think is so funny.

She managed to make you

both look like fools.

How about if I just

cut your damn tongue out?

You won't have anything to

say after that, now will ya?

(tense music)

(Dawn whimpering)

Mommy!

Mommy!

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

Mommy!

(whimpers) No.

That was a long time

ago. (Breathes uneasily)

I can do this. I can do this.

I can, I can do this. (Whimpers)

(rocks scraping)

Yeah.

(rock clattering)

- What the hell was that?

(suspenseful music)

(birds chirping)

What was that?

- Hell if I know.

Aint' nobody out there. (Exhales)

(rock clattering)

What the hell?

(Porter panting)

Dammit, show yourself!

(bag crinkling)

(suspenseful music continues)

Look at me.

(Iris gasping)

(Porter sighing)

sh*t.

Dammit.

- What the hell's going on

out there, bro?

- I don't know what the hell's

going on out there!

But if this is little missy's mom,

I'm gonna bury that b*tch.

Do you hear me? You're dead!

(suspenseful music)

(bag crinkling)

Hey, maybe it's Bigfoot.

- "Bigfoot?"

- Yeah.

I heard stories of Bigfoot

throwing rocks at people.

Man, will you just shut up

before I put my big foot up your a*s?

(scoffs) Come on.

And maybe I'll just k*ll you

and then we won't have to

worry about it anymore.

(rock clattering)

Son of a b*tch. You got this time, go.

(suspenseful music continues)

(bag crinkling)

(branch snapping)

Ah!

(stick whacking)

- Uh!

- Uh!

Ooh, oh!

(body thudding)

(intense music)

(Garret groaning)

Uh!

(Garret groaning)

(both groaning)

- Which way they go?

- How the hell should I know?

I can't see a damn thing!

Well, then I guess you

ain't no good to me anymore.

(g*n blasting)

(blood spurting)

(intense music continues)

(tense music)

(birds chirping)

(g*n clattering)

Hmm. Wildlife was never

your biggest threat.

Mom, please stop. Mom, stop, ow.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

- My leg hurts, ow.

- Oh, lemme see it.

(both breathing heavily)

Lemme see.

Oh (sighs). That does

not look good, Iris.

Oh, whatever. This

sprint isn't even working.

I'm sorry.

I don't think it's broken.

I can put weight on it.

It just fricking hurts. Oh, yeah.

Thanks for saving me

back there, by the way.

What are you talking about?

I did just save you back there.

I'm lucky I was alive by the

time you came back. (Sighs)

Wow, really? "Thanks Mom for saving me."

Wow. Come on.

(scoffs) Yeah, whatever.

Are you gonna sit

there all day? Come on.

[Iris] Oh my...(breathes heavily)

Are you coming or what?

(branch rustling)

- Ow, ouch!

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

(sighs) Ah. I'm fine. (Scoffs)

Oh, come on. Let's get

to the top of the ridge.

See where we are.

- Yeah, or how lost we are.

A little positivity might help.

Here. Do you want some help?

Yeah, I am positive.

Positive we're lost.

(Dawn sighing)

(Porter breathing heavily)

(crow cawing)

(excrement plopping)

Huh.

Even the damn birds hate me.

(soft dramatic music)

(insects chittering)

(both breathing uneasily)

It's beautiful.

Yeah, but I don't wanna

be buried here. So let's go.

(Dawn exhaling)

Mom, come on.

Please be careful. Here, take my hand.

Okay.

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

(Porter breathing heavily)

(tense music)

Oh. (Groans)

(cloth rustling)

(panting) We need to find some water.

I wish you didn't toss those bottles.

Sorry. I 86d them when I needed the bag

for the rocks you were tossing.

[Dawn] What did you do with that bag?

I left it back there

after I knocked the bejesus

outta that mother trucker.

Well, we still need

to get some water. Ow!

Yeah, well, we're not

gonna find it up here.

You know, water flows downhill.

(bushes rustling)

(both gasping)

(birds chirping)

Besides, we can't drink dirty water.

If we drink it from the ground,

it's gonna make us sick.

And I don't mean sick like cool,

I mean sick like we're

puking our freaking guts out.

- Iris, look.

- What?

I think that's a fire tower. Come on.

- Wait, stop.

- What?

Mom, we can't just

like fly over the valley.

We need to go back down.

Yeah, let's go back down. Come on.

(Iris panting)

(soft dramatic music)

You okay?

- Mm-hmm.

This must be the road

to the tower. (Exhales)

Yeah, well, all roads lead to somewhere,

which is better than the

way we've been headed.

(both panting)

Iris, where are you going?

Stop. This way.

No, what are you do, I

think we should go down

so we can get outta the sticks.

Iris, the tower's up there.

We don't know how far

it is to go down there.

Yeah, but this is the way out.

But if someone's at the

tower, they can help us now.

"If someone's at the tower?" No.

Iris, we're going to the tower. Come on.

Oh my God.

(both breathing heavily)

What are we gonna do?

Keep walking until we get to the tower.

No, I know that. I mean, without Pop?

Iris, I can only deal with

one nightmare at a time. Okay?

(exhales) We'll figure

it out when we get there.

Let's just get there so we

don't end up k*lled as well.

(breathes heavily) I'm sorry.

Oh, Iris, is that it?

"Is that it?" Isn't that enough?

No, I mean that's the tower. That's it.

That's the tower! (Chuckles)

- Okay, you go, I'll catch up.

- Okay.

(bird shrieking)

(soft dramatic music)

What? No one's home.

I don't know. I haven't gone

up the steps yet to find out.

Well, I'm sure you don't

like expect me to do it.

- No, Iris.

- Okay, well, the only way

to find out is if you knock

and see if someone's there.

What? Are you afraid of heights now too?

I don't know.

I haven't been sober

long enough to find out.

Okay, come on, Mom.

You can do it, just go.

(exhales) Okay.

Come on, Mom. You got it.

(Dawn breathing uneasily)

(soft dramatic music)

- I can do it.

- You can do it.

You're almost there.

- I can do it.

Just a couple more. You're almost there.

(breathes heavily) Hello?

(Dawn knocking)

Hello? Is anybody up there?

Where's the...(groans)

(lock clattering)

Anybody up there? It's empty.

Yeah, of course it is.

I have an idea.

Since there's a fire,

maybe we should just,

just wait for the ranger.

You want us to wait here

like we waited at the cabin?

Not on your life.

Wait. (Breathes heavily)

Look, if you wanna wait, you wait.

I'm following the road back down.

That could be miles, Iris.

Yeah. I'll take miles

over minutes or hours.

Anything is better than

just waiting here to die.

You know, maybe if you

stay here long enough,

you can make s'mores.

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

Wait, I'm coming.

(soft dramatic music continues)

(insects chittering)

You know we wasted like

half a day hiking that tower.

Are you gonna beat me up

about that all day, Iris?

I'm sorry.

(Iris sighing)

(engine rumbling)

- There's a car, oh my God.

- Hey!

- Stop, wait!

- Stop, please, stop!

- Stop, stop, stop, stop!

- Stop, stop!

- Please, stop, please!

- Wait, wait!

Stop, stop, stop, please!

Please! (Breathes heavily)

(tense music)

(engine rumbling)

Mom, the car's coming.

Mom, Mom, look.

- What?

- The car's coming back.

- Oh my God!

- Wait, stop!

- Come back, come back.

- Stop, wait!

- Stop, stop, stop, stop!

- Please, please!

- Please, please, please!

- Please, please!

- Please, stop, please!

- Please!

- Please stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop, stop, please, stop!

Listen, two men are chasing us!

They're trying to k*ll us!

- What?

- And then they k*lled,

- What, what, what?

Doesn't matter, and then

they k*lled my husband!

And they came into our, and they k*lled...

- Hey, calm down, calm down.

- Okay, okay.

Okay? Okay?

Hey, it's a good thing

I found you. All right?

There's a forest fire over there.

Okay?

- Okay, I know.

(g*n blasting)

(Dawn screaming)

(doorknob clattering)

(Dawn screaming)

(intense music)

Iris, run, run!

(Iris gasping)

(fists whacking)

Ah!

(body thudding)

(g*n clattering)

(kick thudding)

- Oh!

(g*n clattering)

Ah, ah!

(body thudding)

(suspenseful music)

Get up. Get up! (Breathes heavily)

(Iris panting)

(Iris screaming)

(body slamming)

What are you gonna

do? You gonna k*ll me?

[Iris] Mom, help!

(g*n clattering)

- Oh!

(intense music)

Aw, hell.

(g*n thudding)

(door clicking)

(seat belt clacking)

(body slamming)

(door creaks and bangs)

(g*n tapping)

(engine rumbling)

(Iris groaning)

(water sloshing)

- Iris.

Iris, get up, get up,

get up, get up. Come on.

We have to keep going. Come on.

- No, Mom, I can't, I can't!

- Yes, you can!

- No!

- Yes, you can, Iris get up!

Ow, Mom, I really, I can't, stop.

I can't, I can't. I have to stop.

Get up. Iris, do not touch that water!

Do not drink that water!

- Stop!

- Stop it.

- Mom, I can't do it anymore.

Okay? I'm done, I'm done.

I can't do it anymore.

(both sobbing)

What difference does it make now? Right?

What difference does it

make it? We're going

Mom, stop it, stop it!

(hand slapping)

You just told me not to drink it. Stop.

Iris, we're doing this. Get up!

- No, Mom!

- Get up!

We're gonna die like that man did. Okay?

- No, we're gonna be,

- You know, right?

We're gonna be, stop.

We are not going to die.

Get up and walk with me.

Get up. Get up.

- Ow.

- Get up.

- Ow, ow, ow.

- It's okay.

- Mom, Mom, I need to sit.

- I know, I know.

- Seriously.

- No, no, no, no.

- Ow!

- There's a lot right,

it's over there, come on.

- Ow, ow.

- You can make it.

- Mom, I have to sit.

- You can sit, okay.

- Seriously, I have to.

One second. Just, here.

[Iris] (groans) Ow. (Breathes heavily)

Ow, ow.

- You okay?

Are you okay?

- Ow.

Yeah.

Yeah, we can take a minute. Okay?

Ready?

(inhales and exhales) Yeah.

(soft dramatic music)

- Oh, God.

Iris, I am so sorry

that I brought you here.

I know you didn't wanna come.

I, I made you and I'm so sorry.

(both sighing)

You know, I wish I could

say that that COACH purse

would've been worth it, but

(both chuckling)

I don't think I'll even live to see it.

Hey, we are going to

get out of here. Okay?

Don't ever say that again. Okay? (Sniffs)

Okay.

I...

(helicopter whirring)

[Iris] Wait, what's wrong?

I just, I...

(helicopter whirring continues)

I hear a helicopter. I hear

a heli, I see a helicopter!

Over here! Over here!

No! No! (Sobbing)

(soft dramatic music)

(sobbing) Iris.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

(helicopter whirring)

I'm so, ah, ah, ah! It's back!

Ah, over here! Ah-huh, ah!

Ah, over here! Stop!

Help us!

(helicopter whirring)

(gasps) Come on. They're landing!

- Mom!

- They're, they're landing!

(both gasping)

Oh my God! Wait, wait!

- Wait, help!

- Wait, wait!

- In the clearing.

- Got 'em.

(helicopter whirring)

(soft dramatic music continues)

Dispatch, we found the two females.

They're in a clearing just

north of Winter Creek.

[Dispatcher] Copy, emergency

transport, be waiting.

(helicopter whirring)

(Iris chuckling)

(soft dramatic music continues)

(door clicking)

(Iris sobbing)

- Is there anyone else?

- No, just us.

(both sobbing)

(seat belts clacking)

(door slamming)

(both sobbing)

- Oh my God!

(helicopter whirring)

(soft dramatic music continues)

[Reporter] A mother and

daughter were rescued today

after spending almost 24

hours in the wilderness

following a home invasion

which left husband

and father Richard Nightingale

critically injured.

All three are expected to survive.

Both female victims are

being treated for exposure,

dehydration, and exhaustion.

And the daughter for a

wound to the left leg.

Richard Nightingale was

able to alert authorities,

which led to an extensive

search in the mountains,

made more difficult due to the wildfire.

Two male suspects are still

at large at this time.

Fake news. The only one left.

(tense music)

(window whirring)

(envelope crinkling)

Is that enough?

It's fine.

(envelope rustling)

Am I gonna be happy?

Oh, if it's what you were

expecting, probably not.

(suspenseful music)

(envelope rustling)

(Dawn sighing)

(photos rustling)

Um, I know where to find them, if I,

when I, when I need them, okay?

(window whirring)

Thank you.

(investigator knocking)

(window whirring)

One more thing.

(paper crinkling)

(tense music)

I'll let you know if I find anything else.

(paper crinkling)

(bags crinkling)

(Richard exhaling)

(bags crinkling)

(wrapper crinkling)

Where's the stuff?

(bottle cap clattering)

(Dawn sighing)

[Richard] Something bothering you?

No. People drop things all the time.

You were just kind of quiet today.

What's up with the police officers?

- "Police officers?"

- Yeah, why is there

only one left?

It's been three weeks, I

mean can't expect the police

to expend so many resources

just to one house.

That man is still out there.

What man is still out there? The popo?

Hey, Iris. Where are you going?

I'm going out to hang with the squad.

[Richard] Mm.

Oh yeah, Pop, how's your shoulder?

Ah, it'll work eventually.

Do you think that's a good idea?

What? That my shoulder's

gonna work eventually?

No, that she's going out tonight.

She'll be fine. The

guy's likely long gone.

Thanks, Pop. Back later.

Ah, take your mom's car, please.

(tense music)

Thanks.

You had better hope that

she comes back safely.

That a threat or an indictment?

(Richard sighing)

(crickets chirping)

(sighs) How's your new case coming?

Since when have you been

interested in my cases?

I don't know.

I guess I'm just interested

in a lot of things lately.

(Dawn inhales and exhales)

Did you take the trash out?

- Huh?

- The trash, Richard.

Did you take it out?

- Ah, no, not yet,

but I'll get to it.

Could you please do

it now 'cause it smells?

Huh. You know what, Dawn, yeah.

I'll just stop what I'm doing. All right?

(scoffs) I don't know why it can't wait.

I don't smell anything. Jesus.

(footsteps thudding)

(crickets chirping)

(officer slurping)

(suspenseful music)

(knife slicing)

(officer gasping)

(intense music)

(knife rubbing)

(Richard sighing)

(door clicking)

(crickets chirping)

(doorbell ringing)

(Dawn sighing)

(suspenseful music)

Richard, is that you?

(Dawn gasps and sighs)

- Geez.

- Did you just ring

the front doorbell?

- No.

Yes I did.

- Oh, sh*t.

- All right, back up

away from the door.

Both of you.

- Back up, Dawn, back up.

Back up.

- Over there.

Sit down.

Where's little missy?

Who?

Don't gimme that

"who" sh*t, mother duck.

Your daughter. Where is she?

She's, she's not, she's not home.

You expect me to believe that?

Where is she?

(engine humming)

(engine rumbling)

Well, so I guess she's not here.

You weren't lying after all.

Surprising for a lawyer.

(breathes uneasily) How

did you know he was a lawyer?

Is that someone that

you prosecuted, Richard?

(chuckles) No, we, ah,

we're business associates.

No, you're a thug that

should be in prison.

(g*n whacking)

- Oh, God!

- Uh! (Groans)

- Shut the hell up!

I should be in prison?

- God.

Why aren't you there?

Isn't theft a crime anymore?

(breathes uneasily) What

do you mean by "theft?"

Well, allow me to inform you of what

the defendant is guilty of.

- Go to hell.

One more outburst like that

and I'll find you in contempt.

Now, where was I? Oh, yes.

Business associates.

You see, Richard here, well

he recruited me to k*ll you.

- That's not true.

- No.

- That's not true.

- No, it's not true.

I don't know this guy.

I've never seen him before.

You're a liar. You were

at the cabin, weren't you?

You see, Richard was supposed

to pay me half up front

and then the other half

when I finished a job.

Well, since I wasn't

able to take care of you,

I guess our friend here decided

he didn't have to pay me.

So three weeks later, I

come back to finish the job.

But as luck would have it,

it's a two for one deal.

(suspenseful music)

Put it down.

Well, there's little missy.

Where'd you come from?

Always cover your back door, remember?

I called 911. I told

him we have a problem.

Iris, is that my g*n?

Yeah, it's your g*n. Nine millimeter.

Never leave the house without it.

How long you been standing there, Iris?

Long enough to hear

what I needed to hear.

Is that true, Pop? Did you hire him?

No, baby. Of course not, no.

You're damn right he did.

Here's the proof. Here.

(card pattering)

Go ahead, pick it up. Take a look.

(card rustling)

This is your business card, Richard.

Where did he get this, huh?

- I don't know.

I'm a lawyer, he's a

criminal, figure out, Dawn.

You're phone number's

on the back, goddammit!

I don't know! Get

off my back, everybody!

Guilty as charged.

(suspenseful music)

You know, the only difference

between you and I, Richard,

is I'm not lying about who I am.

You gonna sh**t me now?

You know you couldn't do

it when you had a chance to

at the cabin.

- sh**t him.

Twice, I believe.

You ain't gonna do it now.

(intense music)

(g*n blasting)

(body thudding)

(breathes uneasily)

Third time's a charm.

(Iris inhales and exhales)

(Richard breathing heavily)

(Porter groaning)

(g*n clattering)

Good job, sweetie. Good job, sweetie.

Now just gimme, gimme the g*n.

How could you do that to me?

What? Do what, sweetie?

Iris, keep the g*n on him.

- Shut up!

- (screams) Mom!

You're a monster! (Sobbing)

You're a monster!

You've cheated on me.

- You cheated on Mom?

- No.

- (sobs) Yes, he did, Iris.

He cheated on me and they

tried to have us k*lled.

Because I hired a private investigator.

And you know what he did?

He showed me the pictures of you

and Jacqueline and the,

the money missing from our trust account.

- Shut up, shut up!

- No, you shut up!

Shut up!

(suspenseful music)

(blade clicking)

(knife stabbing)

Uh! Oh!

(g*ns blasting)

(blood spurting)

Ah, God!

Ah, ah!

(vase shattering)

(body slamming)

(g*n clattering)

Give it to me.

Get behind me, Iris.

(Richard groaning)

Listen to me. We are

going to walk out of here.

Both of us.

Iris, you gonna let her

do this to your father?

You're not my father, Richard.

Yeah, that's right. She told me.

Besides, what kind of father

would do that to his daughter,

put her in danger like that?

They tried to r*pe and k*ll me.

We were running through the

woods fighting for our lives.

(both crying)

And she told me you used to beat her too.

I couldn't believe it. I

didn't want to until now.

How could you hit her like that? How?

Well, I guess the

prosecution rests. Huh?

(sniffs) Who knows?

Maybe one day Iris will

grow up to be an attorney,

but you will never live to see that day.

Yeah, and what are you

gonna do about it, Dawn? Huh?

You think the police are gonna

leave some half-baked story

from some convicted felon?

He's dead. (Chuckles)

I don't think his testimony's

gonna count for much.

(Richard laughing)

I know your testimony's

not gonna count for anything.

Why, what are you gonna

do? You, you gonna k*ll me?

You know what they call that?

Yeah, self-defense.

- "Self-defense," huh?

- Yeah.

(Richard breathing heavily)

I'd like to see how you're

gonna make that case stick.

You and him, you came

in here to k*ll us,

and I had to defend myself.

What are you even talking about?

Look up, look up!

It's the b*llet hole. You shot that at us.

Your fingerprints are all over the g*n.

She had to k*ll him.

And I told you, if you ever

hit me again, I would k*ll you.

Well that's a great story, Dawn.

Don't come any closer.

But unless you're willing

to go through with it,

it's your word against mine.

Mine and Iris's! Don't come any closer.

Oh, I'm coming. (Laughs)

What are you gonna do now? Huh?

You gonna get a restraining order?

(chuckles) Why would I do that, Richard?

After all, nothing applies

until somebody dies.

(Dawn breathing heavily)

(g*n blasting)

(both sobbing)

(g*n clattering)

(soft dramatic music)

(sirens wailing)

It's over.

(chattering on police radio)

God, Iris. I love you so much.

- What are we gonna do?

- Uh-huh.

Find someplace else to live.

Where?

Anywhere that's not a cabin. (Chuckles)

(chattering on police radio)

(tense music)

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)
