Stoker Hills (2020) - full transcript
Three college students set out to film a horror movie for their final class project, but during filming something goes terribly wrong. They suddenly find themselves in a nightmare worse than they could have written. Luckily, some of the footage of their abduction is captured on a camera that is later found by two detectives. It's now a race against time as the detectives must use clues in the video to rescue the students and uncover the identity of their kidnapper. As the detectives get closer to their location, they find themselves in the middle of a dense forest on the outskirts of Stoker Hills, and what they uncover is far worse than anything the town has ever seen.
Stoker Hills
Community College. Media Building...
- East hall. Fire alarm triggered. Over.
- Stay on the line.
Yeah, man, they must've
updated the autofocus on the S-3.
The a7S-2
is much more user friendly.
You checked the manual yet?
Dude, it's in the menu,
it's right here.
- All right, this is Film class.
- Everything's in the settings.
Put your cell phones away.
- Ryan, look at you.
- And open up your minds.
The importance of cinema...
Cinema.
...in shaping, reconfiguring,
reimagining society
cannot be stressed enough.
Now we have seen
a single documentary...
...force one of the largest
amusement park corporations
in the world to change
its policies
and to change
global perceptions
about whales in captivity.
Now we have also seen
a comedy almost start a war.
Wilder,
Walsh,
Truffaut,
Fellini, Sturges,
Micheaux, Parks,
Hitchcock, Scorsese.
Now those are a few
of my personal faves.
Who here can tell me
who said,
"film is truth 24 times
a second"?
Ah, shoot.
"And every cut a lie"? Jake?
Quentin Tarantino.
Good guess, but no.
- Nice try, bro.
- Dani?
That was French Swiss filmmaker
Jean-Luc Godard, 1960.
Yes, bravissimo.
Class, meet Dani,
recipient of last year's
prestigious best film award.
What a surprise.
Which you can check out in the
display right outside the door.
You know what, young lady?
I am very anxious to hear about
your latest project. All of you.
This year, I'm putting
together a medical documentary.
What's wrong with this thing?
I'm planning on getting
footage at the hospital...
So much
for being user-friendly.
Yeah, I'm trying to pull
rack focus,
but I think your face
broke the lens, dude.
Do you even know what you're doing?
Yo, give me that.
A rack focus is easy.
All you need is an
object in the foreground
and then you
rack focus.
Really? How long have you been
waiting to use that lame joke?
- Hold on, you're not in frame.
- Oh, yeah, is this better?
Knock it off, man,
give me that back.
Okay, sorry.
I forgot how sensitive you
get when you're in love.
Guys, unless Erica is in your
film and you're starting early,
could you turn
the camera off, please?
Actually, she is the
star in our film, Professor.
Not that it matters anyways.
I mean, how can we compete
with a privileged, multi-award
winning director like Dani over here?
First of all, you could finish your
film on time instead of making excuses.
Funny.
Okay.
Quiet down, fellow filmmakers.
All right, guys, why don't
you break it down for me
what your project is about
this year?
- Okay, so our film is about...
- It's awesome.
It's basically Pretty Woman
meets The Walking Dead.
- I call it...
- We call it.
Right, we call it
Streetwalkers.
It's about zombie prostitutes
that take over a small town.
I didn't see that coming.
But are you guys sure you're
taking this seriously?
Yeah, we are, Professor.
I mean The Walking Dead
is like one of
the most successful TV shows
of all time
and Pretty Woman is like
the best movie ever, right?
Well, it's not exactly
Citizen Kane, but go on.
We wanted to make
a horror film
that would appeal
to both audiences.
Yeah, like a film my man Ryan here
could take a girl like Erica to go see.
Thank you, dick, for that
very specific example.
You're welcome.
Okay, all right, well,
what's your GPA, guys?
Erica, break a leg.
Don't worry, Professor.
I'll be sure to keep Spielberg
and Lucas here in check.
Just make sure you eat
before you come over tonight.
I don't wanna deal with
all your hangry energy.
Hey, Jake.
You know, I can make a darn good
zombie for your film project.
A good one.
She looks like a zombie
when she doesn't get
enough sleep anyway.
Hey, Jake, got any room
for me, man?
I could totally play
a survivor.
You could put an arrow
through my head, so bad ass.
Come on, dude,
don't film right now.
I have to practice.
Dude, you're gonna
run into somebody.
We're making a movie,
I gotta practice.
It is impressive to see
you multitask.
I don't think
I've ever seen this before.
- It's a lot going on.
- See. Positives.
Good luck with your
Streetwalkers flick.
Sounds fun.
Just for the record,
we're taking home
the award for best short.
I think you're gonna enjoy my
acceptance speech, I really do.
You can do a lot better
than the zombie prostitutes.
Dude, we have to beat her.
Dude, her film was dope last
year and she deserved to win.
Actually we're passing by
the reason she won last year.
- Oh, gosh.
- Who's the school's biggest donor?
- You guessed it, Papa Moneybags.
- Why don't we just focus
on finishing our project
this year?
Dude, you can't tell me
it's just a coincidence.
If your dad was
funding the program,
we'd have the professor
in our pocket.
You should be careful, Jacob.
Professor Smith,
I'm sorry, I didn't...
I mean, do you wanna risk
something terrible happening, huh?
You could crack the lens.
You left this behind
in the classroom.
Thank you, sir.
I'll be more careful
with the equipment.
Buona fortuna, guys.
Good luck.
- Why didn't you warn me?
- He gave you the eyes, dude.
- Did one of these.
- I looked like an idiot.
I thought he was gonna
punch you in the throat.
Yeah, I feel like
he already did.
All right,
let's check this out.
Ohh. So clean!
Coming, bro. Gosh.
And here we have a dumbass
in his natural habitat,
completely oblivious
to common consideration.
Dude, what's up?
Hey, what's up, dude?
Dude, I figured
the focus out.
Wow, you should really put that
in the hands of a professional.
Oh, let me know when
you find one.
Oh, you're funny, fuck you.
You ready to go?
Yeah, I was kinda hoping
to get in the zone first
and then see what you had in
your fridge for craft service.
No, bro, we don't have time.
We gotta pick up Erica.
- Just smoke in the car, dude.
- I am hungry.
What about craft service?
You promised me craft service.
We'll pick something up
at the gas station.
They better have some fucking taquitos.
I'mma be pissed at you.
Where'd you park?
- Twelve years old, left, dude.
- Twelve years old?
Dude, this is gonna be
bigger than Halloween.
I'm pretty sure
Carpenter didn't get high
when he made Halloween.
You don't know that.
Come on, dude.
What, you don't wanna get
high with me?
I'm getting high.
You're hot boxing me, bro.
Well, then I'm a good friend.
I'm getting you by contact.
- You don't have to do anything.
- You're so generous.
Yeah, where's my taquitos,
by the way?
I ain't getting no taquitos.
Dude, this is gonna
make me even more hungry.
What happened to this, oh, I'm gonna
quit smoking, dude, I wanna get better?
Yeah, I think I was high
when I said that,
so I don't remember.
That stuff stinks.
What kind of ganja you smoking?
The good kind.
It's called OG stank dank.
Stank dank?
Stank dank.
- Come on, dude.
- What?
If my mom smells this
in my car,
- she's gonna flip.
- Your mom loves me.
She's loves me
and I love her.
- Easy.
- What? Can you say hi to her for me?
- Frick, dude, I knew I went the wrong way.
- You did go the wrong way.
What are you doing?
We're going
to your girlfriend's house.
I'm high, dude.
He got a contact high
from this guy.
Does it look good?
Do I look good?
You do, you look
pretty good, dude.
- Are my eyes red?
- Yep.
I was gonna clean my room.
- Hey!
- Look at the window.
How you like my teeth,
everybody?
Oh, I'm excited.
We're gonna do some work.
Hey, Emma.
Hey, Ryan,
can I be in the movie?
- No.
- Why?
Because I already
told you no.
- There's no parts for you.
- We'll get you in the next one.
Emma, get in the house.
Don't forget
to feed Penny, okay?
How late are you gonna be
out doing this movie thing?
I already told you we're gonna
be filming for a couple of hours.
Hey, Mr. Gallagher.
Hey, Ryan.
I understand the name of this
movie is Streetwalkers.
So what exactly is my
daughter gonna be doing
dressed like she is
underneath that coat?
Oh, my God. Dad, stop it.
Mr. Gallagher, I promise it's
gonna be a very classy film.
Yeah, no nudity
or anything like that, so.
All right, just try
to remember,
she has a little sister
who looks up to her, okay?
I'd prefer not to be
on camera, please.
- I'm not recording.
- All right, Dad,
can you just go inside now?
Just leave them alone.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Bye.
- Oh, we'll get her back safe.
- Have a good night, sir.
No, but for real, thank you for helping
us, Erica. Appreciate it.
Yeah, it's not exactly
a dream role.
I mean, it's not fine.
She threatened
to run away again.
I had to talk her out of it.
You know, same old story.
Word on the street is you're
numero uno in theater major.
Is there any truth
to that rumor, Erica?
Oh, dude, they call her
two-take Erica
because she gives you
exactly what you need
- in the first two takes.
- Okay, no, wait.
Actually it's the first take
and I just like to have
a little fun,
have a couple more takes
on my hands, you know.
Dude, she's got
a full ride scholarship
- to a big league acting school.
- Julliard.
Oh, wow, that is big time,
so congrats, that's awesome.
She's the real deal, man.
Dude, that's exactly what we
need to take out Dani this year.
- I'm telling you, for real.
- Oh, my God.
She wins best short film
every year
and Jake is convinced that
it's because her dad is...
That is the reason, Ryan.
I tell you that every time.
Dude, what Jake won't tell you
is that he and Dani dated
briefly and she dumped him.
- Wow. Wow.
- He couldn't hang.
Seriously, dude,
that's such a low blow.
- What, bro?
- Honestly.
No, the breakup was mutual,
all right? I'm over her.
Seriously, everyone
just shut up
and remain silent the rest of
the way and just focus, please.
- Okay, so you're gonna go to the second light pole.
- Okay.
And then you're gonna work
that sidewalk technically.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
So how long is this
gonna take?
Oh, we just need you
for a few minutes, babe.
- Yeah.
- We'll be quick.
- Okay, please, just two minutes, 'cause it's freezing.
- Yeah, that's fine.
Okay, can you help me
with my jacket, Mr. Director?
Of course, Miss Julliard.
Wow!
Sorry, Mr. Gallagher,
this is not gonna be classy.
Yes.
I was gonna ask you
to be convincing,
but I think you got it
down, girl.
- Work it. Work it.
- Do that catwalk.
Hey, babe,
you're doing great.
We're just gonna get
some B-roll shots, okay?
You said two minutes.
Just work it like
a Stoker Hills girl.
You get what I'm saying?
Hurry the fuck up,
it's cold out here.
Ooh, feisty.
Bro, are you texting
right now?
You're the director.
Ryan, a great mind
needs great fuel
and my mother asked me if she
should leave out the lasagna
and I replied yes, so.
She got enough for me too?
Yeah, considering lasagna's
typically made in bulk,
but we're filming now,
so shut the fuck up, okay?
Dude, seriously,
that's your mom again?
No, I sent you
a little something.
Why don't you take a peek?
I didn't get it.
Damn, dude, phone's dead.
Dude, your phone
is always dead.
- What's the point in even having one?
- Huh.
It's a good thing that car
wasn't looking for hookers.
Hey, I will say though
if this whole acting thing
doesn't work out for Erica,
she has a solid
backup plan, man.
- Oh, two middle fingers in one day.
- Take three, bro.
I am on.
Oh, wow, I'm on fire.
Come on,
let's get a little closer.
- Okay, sound good.
- Rocks up here.
You guys,
I'm seriously freezing.
Can I please be done?
- Yeah, come back.
- Okay, thank you.
My toes are literally numb.
No, we can't afford you.
I'll buy you a spa day.
You can just give me
my spa day, babe.
You know, give me
a nice foot massage
after wearing these heels.
Okay so the other shots
that we have, you're the POV.
Oh, no, we should
get a POV over.
- Oh, shit, hold on.
- What?
- Dude, this guy's soliciting her or something.
- Hi, we're just filming
- a movie over here.
- Should you say something?
Yo, straight up, let's go.
- Oh, shit!
- Hey, Erica!
Hey, stop! Erica!
- Stop!
- Hey, stop the car!
- What the fuck?
- The hell you doing, man?
- Stop the car.
- Hey, dude, stop!
- Jesus Christ.
- Shit!
Dude, we need to call
the cops right now.
Dude, we need
to call the cops.
So not a single person was
reported missing tonight?
No.
When did we get this?
They found it at the
school about an hour ago.
Peterson, come here.
He's driving
an old rusted sedan.
It's north
of the industrial park.
Who brought the video
over from the school?
We got that from a fireman.
Have him
come into the station.
You got it.
Hey, get in touch with the
school officials too, would you?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
Dude, I'm calling the cops.
Get in the car, bro.
- Fuck!
- What?
What are you doing, bro,
come on.
My phone fell down
the fucking drain, dude.
Dude, we don't have
time for this.
- Get in the car!
- Fuck, I can't reach it, man.
They're getting away,
bro, let's go.
God damn it.
This camera, fuck,
oh, my God.
- Let's go!
- Fuck!
Open the door, dude,
come on.
Shit, man.
What about your phone?
Wait, it's dead, shit! Dude,
we need to go to the cops.
Dude, we're not gonna
risk losing Erica.
We need to go to the
cops, dude, we need help!
Fuck, dude,
this is all my fault.
It's not your fault.
- Yo, is that him up there?
- Yeah, I think so.
Dude, you need
to slow down, dude.
- Shut up!
- Slow down!
- Ryan.
- Shut up!
Watch out!
Fuck, damn it, shit!
Shit.
Yo, get out, we gotta push.
Come on, dude!
Okay, I'm going.
- Go!
- Let's go!
Push, man, push!
Dude, I'm pushing
as hard as I can. Fuck.
Push harder then.
Still filming this?
Yeah, dude, I'm getting
this piece of shit on camera.
Let's just focus
on getting Erica back.
Shit, dude, we lost him.
What do you think
is gonna happen?
- What else are we gonna do, man?
- Get help.
The more time we waste...
I've seen those fucking
cop shows, all right?
The cop show?
This isn't fucking cop shows.
This is real life.
If we tell them that's someone's
kidnapped, they're gonna fucking go...
This is my fucking fault, man!
There, right there.
I don't know where else
he could've gone.
Okay, all right.
- Oh, shit, dude.
- Easy, it's small.
The fuck is that?
What the fuck?
You think he set
this up, dude?
Go check it out.
There's nowhere else
he could've gone.
Holy, stop, stop!
Yeah, hold on,
I think I see him.
Let me see.
- That's his car, let's go.
- No, hold on.
That car, it looks a little
darker than the other one
and it doesn't look like
there's anyone inside, man.
- Please let's just get the cops.
- Shh, there he is.
Dude, we
really need to get the cops.
- I'm not kidding.
- No, bro, we're not gonna get the cops.
- Why?
- There's not enough time.
We don't know what
he's done to Erica, bro.
Are you kidding me?
Dude, Jesus.
What's he doing right now?
Is he getting to Erica?
No, what is that?
That's a...
that's her purse, bro.
- Get over there.
- I'll get the guys together.
It looks like they're about five
miles north of the abandoned building.
We could watch the
rest of this in the van.
God, that's not gonna work,
the battery's about to go.
What, you want me to stay
or what?
No, you go ahead. I'll get someone
to prepare a media transfer
and I'll meet you over there.
- Copy that.
- Keep me updated.
- No.
- Yeah, let's go.
Let's go, dude.
There's gotta be a door
we can get into. Come on.
Dude, come on, let's go.
Bro, stairs. Come on.
- Come on, dude.
- Coming, yeah.
Such a bad idea.
Yo, that's her.
- What?
- We need a weapon first.
- Whoa!
- What?
Holy shit!
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck.
Oh, my God.
Yo, it's all we got, let's go.
Fuck, she's gone.
Oh, Jesus.
Fuck, man, she's gone!
- What?
- The hell, Erica.
What the fuck?
Dude, what the hell
is going on here, bro?
Oh, my God, dude,
we need to go to the cops.
Ryan.
We need to get the cops.
Fuck. This is not good.
Oh, shit.
Shit, dude, let's get
outta here.
Bro, let's get the fuck
out of here. Please.
Yo, Jake, behind you.
No, stop it!
Stop it!
Fuck,
what's he doing?
He's got a gun.
Ryan, we gotta get the fuck outta here.
Go!
How the hell do we
get outta here?
Jake, this way!
Fuck, go, run!
- Fuck, come on, dude.
- Run!
Shit, car's on the other side, dude.
Let's go!
Come on, dude, fuck!
Fuck, dude,
get the hell outta here, go!
Detective Adams,
drive's ready to go.
I'll meet you in the van.
Chopper's coming.
K9 up here and then up
there and then that way.
Hey, we just got
to the building.
How does it look?
Oh, we haven't found
anything yet,
but we just finished
our first pass.
Make sure you check
the perimeter.
The kids made it out of the
building into the woods.
Our guy went after 'em.
Did you find any of the cars?
Negative, they're both gone.
They could be in the lake,
call the dive team.
The detective just got in the
car, so let's wrap this up, okay.
- Hey, Bill... be careful.
- Yeah?
This could be The Shadow.
I was thinking the same thing.
See you soon.
Hurry up, man.
So, we'll stay on channel 8.
Got it. Okay, thanks.
- All right, let's go.
- All right, okay, I gotta go.
Let's go, come on.
I'm dying.
Suck it up, don't be a bitch.
Oh, fuck, God.
We need to double
back and get Erica, dude.
I think
we might've lost him.
Ah, fucking hope so.
We were moving pretty quick.
I don't think I've ever
ran that fast in my life.
Who the fuck is this guy?
I don't know, man.
All right, dude.
We gotta do something.
Let's go back to the basement,
get Erica.
What if he's not working alone?
We need to get help, man.
If you wanna get help,
that's fine.
I'm going back for Erica.
Split up?
Dude, that's not a good idea.
I'm not letting you
go back there alone.
It's up to you, bro.
But either way,
I'm going back, all right?
Go!
Ryan?
Ryan?
Where the fuck are you, man?
Ryan?
Ryan, is that you?
Hey!
What, where the hell
were you?
- I was looking for you, bro.
- I spill my guts on camera.
I found something, come on.
Almost speared you.
What?
You okay?
No, what happened
to your face?
Were you crying?
What?
Were you crying?
- Shut the fuck up.
- All right, come on.
Fuck, Ryan.
What happened?
My leg's in a animal trap
or something, dude, fuck!
Fuck this.
All right,
don't move, ready?
Fuck! Fuck!
- Wait, it's this way.
- Shit.
Ah, fuck, wait.
Right here,
step on this platform, okay?
Right here,
just step right here.
Good. Hold it, easy.
Pull out, yeah.
Oh, fuck, shit.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Can you run on it?
- I think so.
- All right.
- But we gotta move, okay?
All right, let's go.
- We're close.
- Oh, shit.
Come on, dude, come on.
- Oh, fuck, it hurts so much.
- We almost there, all right.
Just push through.
What the hell?
Is anyone inside?
I don't know, dude.
I came looking for you
after I found it.
- I don't hear anybody.
- Yeah, me neither.
Hello, anyone in here?
Fuck, dude.
Hello?
Looks like
someone's staying here.
Maybe. They're not here now.
Maybe we should
take a load off
and just hide in here
for a minute?
Okay.
All right, just for
a bit, dude.
Fuck.
Oh, God.
Dude, doesn't the woods
end up at school?
Yeah,
I think so eventually.
All right, man,
let's just keep going.
Once we get
through the woods,
we can get to the school,
use the phone.
I don't think we have
to worry about that guy
following us though.
I know I was wrong last
time, but I guarantee you
he made it back
to the building by now.
Like, we were flying
through the woods, man.
Shit! Shit!
- Did you see something?
- What?
Shh.
I think he found us.
Maybe it's the guy that's
living here, you know.
Well, do you wanna stick
around and introduce yourself?
All right, let's make
a run for it, I'm after you.
Let's go.
Come on, dude, let's go.
I'm trying.
You gotta keep up,
come on, bro.
Dude, my leg, I can't.
God, I can't move.
You can, come on, bro,
get up.
Let's go, come on,
you got it.
- Dude, we gotta go.
- My leg.
Almost there,
come on, come on.
We got this.
This guy must've done
a pretty good job
cleaning up his tracks.
There's gotta be
something there.
I saw at least
one DB in the video.
Okay, well, we'll go over
every inch of this place.
Are you close?
Listen, the kids made
it out of the woods.
It put them over there
by Stoker Hills College.
They went inside.
I'm headed over there now.
Have you heard anything
from the school officials yet?
Nothing.
Bill, I'm thinking about the
six people who've gone missing
in the past month.
Half of them, The Shadow
went after prostitutes.
The other half,
three random guys.
Yeah, it doesn't really
sound like a pattern to me.
Well, other than the fact that
they're all relatively
young and healthy?
So you're saying they're
not random abductions?
No, maybe.
Look there's more video
to watch.
Call me if you get an update.
Copy that.
Adams?
- Dude, he's out there.
- What, did you see him?
- Yeah.
- Did he see you?
- I don't know, maybe.
- Let's just keep going, bro.
Come on.
Library's down here.
This is it.
Go.
Gotta be a phone
over here somewhere.
Shit, dude.
Why don't we just
pull the fire alarm
and then the firemen and cops
will come here right away?
Yeah, great idea, Ryan.
All right, we just gotta find one.
I think I heard something.
What is it?
I don't know.
Excuse me, sir.
Hey, there's a fire alarm
over by him.
- Hey.
- Could you help us out real quick?
Hey, no one's supposed to be
in here.
- Go!
- Go!
Come on.
Shit! Shit, dude!
Fuck! Fast, fast, come on.
Locked it.
We need
to go back for Erica.
Like you said,
one of the alarms.
We saw,
there's one downstairs.
Shh, don't move. Hear that?
Fuck!
All right, dude, he's gone.
All right, let's make a run
for it.
No, no, no! He could still
be right there, or not.
There's another door
in the back of this room.
Okay, yeah, you're right.
All right, let's bait him
into this room
and make a run
for that door, okay?
Okay, I can do it.
I'll divert his attention
to the back door
then we can make a run
for the stairs.
Yo, let me do it, okay?
Your leg, you ready?
Come and get us, you piece
of shit. Shit! Shit!
Shit, dude, he's right there,
come on.
- Okay.
- Go!
Dude, fire alarm.
Come on.
He saw us. He's coming down.
Shit, dude, come on,
let's go, let's go!
Just push through, dude.
Fuck!
Come on, man, get up!
Come on. Let's go. Let's go!
- Dude, come on, let's go. Come on!
- Let's go, let's go.
Let's go! Dude, push
through! Come on.
Come on, the door's right
here, dude. Come on.
God.
Oh, shit.
Here. We can get
through this door.
Fuck, dude. Come on.
We gotta get in the woods.
I can't do it, dude,
my ankle.
Come on, bro!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!

Stoker Hills Community College
Media Building East Hall,
fire alarm triggered.
Over, stay on the line.
Copy that.
Let base know we're turning
into the parking lot
for Stoker Hills Community
College right now.
- We here?
- Yeah.
- Sorry, sir.
- Jesus Christ.
We found a body in the storage
closet on the first floor.
Looks like the janitor
of the building.
None of the kids?
No kids.
Well, they're here,
keep looking.
Yes, sir.
York, send some paramedics
to the back of the school.
Only one kid at the school?
And the body
of the janitor.
So the kids ran
into this room here.
York, what you got?
We've contacted each
of the kids' parents
and we had visual confirmation
of the girl's house
from the tape,
her dad's pretty upset.
Says he doesn't know anyone
who would wanna hurt her.
You think this is our guy?
Based on his
physical characteristics,
comparing the street camera
to the video, it's him.
That means
all these missing people,
they're either dead or
they're here somewhere.
So keep looking.
Give me that flashlight.
I don't think anybody's here.
Look at this part
right here.
Fuck, man, she's gone.
This is where the kids
go into that room.
Look, dude,
what the hell's that?
Everything looks pretty much
the same as it is in the video.
What's he got her
connected to?
Some kind of IV
or something?
I don't know.
It's medical equipment.
What's he using it for?
Is he trying
to take her blood?
Maybe he's injecting
something into her.
Hold on, let me rewind it.
That's fucking weird.
Nothing, no medical
equipment, no IV.
Only thing that seems to be
out of place is this scalpel.
Now, one of the kids found
this in the other room
when they were looking
for a weapon.
So he took everything
out of here except
he forgot his medical scalpel.
And this was his only
means of defense.
Ryan, wake up, babe.
Come on, please, wake up.
Please wake up, babe.
Please, baby,
wake up, please.
Ryan, wake up, babe, please.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Baby, I'm so sorry.
No, babe,
it's not your fault.
I swear it's not your fault.
We should never have
had you outside.
- Babe, I'm so sorry.
- No, it's not your fault.
- Fuck.
- I swear.
We just really need
to figure out
how to get the fuck
out of this place.
Where are we?
I don't know.
I was in one building
and now I'm in this room.
I don't even know
how I got here.
That motherfucker killed Jake.
What?
We were running out of the
school and he shot him.
We gotta stop this guy.
What's he
doing with your blood?
Ryan, I'm so scared, Ryan.
Hey, I'm scared too.
All right, we're gonna
figure this out.
You're gonna be okay,
I promise, okay?
And they came
right into here.
Yeah, and then
they went there.
He said they swept this
pretty well.
- You smell that?
- Yeah, that's not good.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
- I think somebody is coming.
- Yeah, I heard it.
Hey, if he unties you,
I'm gonna try and buy you some time.
You need
to make a run for it.
No, I'm not leaving here
without you.
- Yes, you have to.
- No. No way.
Didn't see that, huh?
I guess they didn't
sweep the fucking room.
Get some bolt cutters.
Mathis!
Please, hey,
just let us go, all right?
We'll do whatever you want.
Don't.
No, don't touch me.
Stop, please, stop.
Get away from me,
please.
Why are you messing
with our blood?
Please,
just get away from me.
Hey, if you let us go,
I'll get you all the
money you need, all right?
Look, we won't say anything
to anyone.
Stop it!
What do you want from us?
Fuck you, man.
Oh, babe, are you okay?
Fucking shit.
Back out! Back out!
Back out! Back out!
Well, I guess we found
our missing persons.
But I don't see
any of the kids.
Hey, think I found something.
Here, let me just open it.
"Did I request thee maker
from my clay to mound me man?
"Did I solicit thee from
darkness to promote me
"or here place me
in this delicious garden?"
This guy read books?
Well, he must be mad
at God or something.
Solid print right there.
Should bag this.
Any idea what
this machine does?
Not a clue.
Well, look at here.
Property of Stoker Hills
Medical Center.
Where the fuck is this guy?
Sorry for the wait.
Dr. Brooks will see you in a moment.
Thanks.
Hey,
at some point I gotta call Katie
and tell her I'm not gonna
be home to change diapers.
You know, why don't you get outta here?
I'll take it from here.
I don't want Katie to worry.
Are you kidding me?
Go home? No.
Plus, you think I wanna go
home to change diapers?
I've never done it, but I hear it's
the best part about being a parent.
Oh, yeah?
It's not.
It sucks.
I hate it.
Hey.
Gentlemen, I'm Dr. Brooks.
Detective Adams,
this is my partner.
Detective Stafford.
Right this way.
Oh, I was told that you found
some of our missing equipment.
Yeah, I think so.
Thanks for seeing us
so quickly, Dr. Brooks.
Can you tell us what this
equipment might be used for?
That's for, um,
testing tissue and blood.
Yes, this was taken
from our lab.
Why would someone
wanna take that?
I don't know. Someone who
wants to test blood and tissue
to find out what type it is,
I guess.
Based on these photos,
could you tell us
what this person's trying
to do?
I don't know.
It might be someone
who needs a organ donor
or has a relative who needs
one, it's hard to say.
Dr. Brooks, we need
all the help we can get.
The person who stole
your equipment,
he's killed
six people already.
I got two kids, early 20s,
might still be alive.
Every minute that goes by
is a minute wasted.
I mean, if you could tell
us anything, anything at all.
I'd really like to help you,
honestly.
I have a daughter their age.
I could imagine
what it would be like
to be a parent
of one of those kids.
If I can think of anything,
you'll be the first to know.
Doc, how long does it take
to normally get back
a tissue or blood sample?
About 24 hours.
If you know how to use
the equipment,
maybe a couple of hours.
Fuck.
I know we decided that we
weren't gonna do anything
for our anniversary,
but I was gonna surprise you
with concert tickets tomorrow.
Yeah? You were?
Okay, to tell you the truth,
I got us reservations at
Sorrento's tomorrow night.
My favorite.
I thought we weren't gonna
do anything this year, babe.
Guess we screwed up.
We have a dinner and a
concert to attend tomorrow,
so we gotta get the fuck
out of this place.
What is he doing
with my blood?
I don't know and I really
don't wanna find out.
You know when me and
Jake were looking for you
in that building?
We went into this room,
there was a body.
His chest
was shredded up.
If we don't figure out
how to get out of this,
this isn't gonna
end well for us.
So it was used
as a slaughterhouse.
Scheduled for demolition
six months ago.
- Oh, they're a little behind schedule.
- Yeah.
Well, I put it in a phone call
to see what the holdup is.
Let me follow up on that.
Thanks, man,
good work today.
Thanks.
I'll be damned if this
son of a bitch tastes me out
because I don't have
a spear on me.
I want the record to show that
I prepared the best I could.
Actually...
If this footage
ever makes it out...
I want my family to know
that I love them.
I know I was a dick
most of my life...
...but, Mom, I want you to know
that you did a great job raising me.
Dad, I wish you would have
visited more,
but I understand, I guess.
Dani, you were right.
I should've gotten
my shit together.
I didn't deserve you at all.
Ry, you're
the best friend
that I could ever ask for...
and I know we don't say
I love you
and that's not gonna start
now, but... you get the point.
And if Erica doesn't make
it out of this alive,
Mr. Gallagher,
I'm sorry, we tried.
We tried so hard.
Hey!
- Where the hell were you?
- I was looking for you, bro.
I spilled my guts on camera.
I found something, come on.
I can't watch this anymore.
We searched every corner
of that building,
hidden rooms included.
But he's gotta be
out there, somewhere.
We're gonna find him.
How's that
blood pressure doing?
You know, if these pills do
what they're supposed to do,
it should be just fine...
but I've just never been on
a case like this before.
It's like it doesn't
even faze you.
Well, of course it does.
I can't let
the other guys know.
But I gotta tell you,
this is some of the worst shit
Stoker Hills has ever seen.
I mean, this guy's like
right out of a horror movie.
It's hard having faith
in a profession like this.
I bet it is.
- You hungry?
- Oh, yeah.
I mean, we see everything
that's wrong with the world
and we're left
to clean it up.
Well, somebody's gotta do it.
There is a special place
in heaven for a guy like you.
I appreciate
you saying that,
but I think I'll take
my time on that heaven part.
You know, you got food,
you've got a dartboard and a refrigerator.
It's like you live here.
Got a gym
and a shower as well.
All I need is a couple
hours on the good old couch.
You're the one paying rent.
You can do whatever you want.
Hey, why didn't you
marry Jessica?
I was close.
But like you said, I live
here, and you know Jessica.
She was always worried someone'd
come knocking on the door,
telling her I got stabbed or
shot or something like that.
I'm not even sure
I made the right choice.
When you find somebody
who really loves you,
they're not gonna make you
choose between your job and her.
This is part of you,
it's who you are.
These are starting to
sound like conversations
I have with my therapist.
Sorry, I got us off track,
I apologize.
It's all right.
It's kinda meaningful
coming from you.
I knew there was a reason you
convinced me to take this job.
All right, enough
with the therapy session.
That's not gonna
solve this case.
You think he's actually
living in that building?
I don't know.
We've got no proof that
he actually lived there.
And I don't think
he's going back.
He is hiding.
- But where?
- I don't know.
We got nothing
from the dive team.
Can I help you?
Hey.
I'm here to see
Detective Adams.
- Adams.
- It's Dr. Brooks.
Mr. Books,
what can I do for you, Doctor?
Can we speak somewhere
in private?
Sure, right this way.
Bill.
I think I know
who took the equipment.
Great, any leads
would help.
About five years ago,
I performed surgery on this patient.
Does the patient have a name?
He didn't have any ID
at the time of the surgery.
We didn't have a name,
he's listed in the report as John Doe.
Then he stole the equipment?
Yeah, see, this wasn't
a routine operation.
We're experimenting with what
is called a xenotransplantation.
That's animal
to human transplant.
You're saying you gave
this man an animal heart?
That's correct.
And what kind of animal
did you take it from?
It was a porcine heart.
You mean a pig?
Yes.
Dear God, did he say a pig?
The organ is altered genetically
with DNA from the patient.
For long term, pigs work
well because their anatomies
are very similar to human.
Sometimes there
are side effects,
but it's been done
before successfully.
Well, how is that even
legal, Doctor?
Every procedure that our
research department undertakes
is done with the permission
of the FDA.
Animal to human transplants
have been done
since the early 1900s.
So why did you choose
to experiment on this man
instead of giving him
a human heart?
Well, the people we
use for these operations
have no other option.
First, you have to be on a waiting
list to receive a heart from a donor.
This guy was probably
at the bottom of that list.
Right now, there
are over 100,000 people
waiting for a transplant.
Eighteen of those will die
every day while waiting.
If this fellow had waited,
he'd probably be dead.
Well, that might not have
been such a bad thing, Doc.
This guy has killed
six people in the last month.
Listen, you said
side effects.
What kind of side effects
are we talking about?
Sometimes the operation
doesn't take.
Sometimes the body can
reject the organ
and cause internal issues
with the immune system.
And what about
mental issues?
Look, I'm sorry
all this happened,
but I hope you're
not suggesting
that the operation had
something to do with that.
Well, it doesn't seem like
the heart's taking too well.
He's acted more like an animal
than he is like a human.
Do you follow up with
your patients, Dr. Brooks?
We try to.
We ask that they come in
every now and then
so we can check up on them.
But we can't issue
a warrant or anything
and force them to come in.
And did you follow up
with him?
He never came back.
I don't know, it just doesn't
seem right
messing with Mother Nature
like that.
The point is to save lives.
The point is to save lives.
And you're pretty sure
this is the guy
that took your equipment?
That's why I came here.
I received this note.
My daughter
Dani wasn't at home.
Sometimes she stays
at her mother's place
but she was with me
this weekend.
Found a match.
Are you sure that there's
nobody else
that would wanna hurt
your family?
I received a call
from him earlier this evening
before I met with you two
at the hospital.
He asked me to perform
the surgery, I told him no.
Did he call you
on the cell phone
or did he call you
at the office?
My office number.
What did he say after that?
- I don't know, I hung up on him.
- Damn it.
And then I got the note.
Did you talk to your daughter
after you talked to him?
Yeah, I called Dani
to check up on her right away.
She said something about
finishing a film project
for her class tomorrow.
Wait a minute.
Did you say your daughter's
name was Dani?
Yes.
Is this your daughter?
Yes.
Where'd you get this?
That footage came
from a camera
that we found at Stoker
Hills Community College.
If he was ready
for the surgery,
that means Dani's collateral.
One of the other two kids
are the match.
We can catch this guy.
If we can get a phone tap
on his landline,
maybe we can trace him
down to a location.
Well, it's 12:45 right now.
It's gonna take two hours.
So if we're gonna do
this, we gotta move now.
What if something goes
wrong, will Dani be safe?
This is the only
chance she's got, Doctor.
I'll get the team together.
You need to keep him on the
line as long as possible.
Once we lock the trace,
I'll give you the thumbs up.
- What if he hangs up?
- You can't let that happen.
You gotta ask him a question,
do something, stall him.
I have to go to the restroom.
Hey, Doctor, he needs you.
And you gotta stay calm.
You can't make him think
anything else is going on.
I really have to go
to the restroom.
I don't feel very well.
Peterson, will you go
keep an eye on him?
Copy that.
You think he's good for this?
I hope so.
I feel bad
about his daughter,
but he seems off or something.
Let's trace every
call coming out
of Dr. Brooks' office
tonight, right?
Got it.
It's been about ten minutes.
Let's go check on him.
Doc, you okay?
- Hello?
- Dr. Brooks?
Jesus Christ.
Oh, no fucking way.
Dr. Brooks?
Shit, fuck!
Let's go.
He's gone.
He took off. Come on. Let's go.
Lock down the perimeter.
- He's on the move.
- Go! Go!
I knew something was
off with this guy.
I don't know
if this is a coincidence,
but he's heading towards
the abandoned building.
And we never told him
where it was.
Oh, shit.
Obstruction, pull over.
What the fuck just happened?
Hey, guys, we're moving in.
Karma.
What do we do now?
Call the dive team.
Charles Moyer.
He's got a name.
He was an orphan, and as an
adult, he was discharged
from the military because
of a mental breakdown.
He's wanted in two states,
assault with a deadly weapon.
So this guy just up
and vanished?
Yeah, for a while.
He worked farmland
just outside of town.
It's all a big forest now.
And apparently,
he was involved
in some kind
of farming accident.
Needed a heart transplant.
And that's where
Dr. Jonathan Brooks comes in.
Dr. Brooks has multiple
citations on his record.
His license was
even suspended
by the medical board at
one point for malpractice.
He was on
temporary probation.
Now, Dani is
his adopted daughter.
We found signs of breaking and
entering at the Brooks home.
We even found evidence
of a struggle,
which confirms the kidnapping.
Well, it's great that you guys
found all this information,
but we still have no idea
where the hell this guy is.
Okay, well, we got a name and
start connecting some dots.
We don't have time
to connect the dots.
He's still out there.
We've got people missing.
He vanished, he lives
here, he drives a car.
Come on, guys, I need you to dig deeper.
Give me an address.
Something.
Got it.
Remember, I want him alive.
Adams.
Yeah.
They couldn't trace
the doctor's phone.
Shit.
You know what,
pull up the video.
Go to where they see the
mobile home in the woods.
You think that's important?
Maybe.
Shit, shh!
All right, pause.
Go back a little more.
Dude.
- Right there, pause.
- Hold on.
On the counter, can you
read what that medicine says?
What's that say?
Hold on.
Cyclosporine?
That's the prescription
our suspect uses.
- God damn it!
- He was in the mobile home
the whole time.
Yeah, but the camera
keeps cutting in and out.
We're not gonna be
able to find it.
Even with a search team,
it's gonna take a while.
Look, we'll have to find
some distinguished landmarks.
We'll do it in the van,
come on.
Okay, it's coming
a little bit loose.
Are there cameras in here?
No, I don't think
he's watching us.
Hey, you almost got it,
keep going.
Good, you're good, babe.
All right.
I got it!
I got it!
All right,
we've gotta find something.
What is it?
What'd you find?
You get it?
Almost.
Hey, you can do it.
Come on. Come on.
All right, so if he comes in,
I'm gonna get him with this.
- You're good.
- All right.
We'll get him to come
over by you, all right?
He's gotta be close enough.
Yo, when he comes in,
make sure he's close enough
for you to reach, all right?
Otherwise don't risk it.
Okay, I think someone's coming
in, I think he's coming.
All right, focus, you got it.
Hey, man, fuck you!
Stop it!
Hey, I'm right here.
Hey, let go of her.
Please, no!
Hey, I'm right here.
Fuck, shit!
No!
Stop it. Stop it, please!
Fuck!
Baby, are you okay?
That's it, just kill me.
No!
Looks like they're about
a mile from the building
when the video cuts out.
When it comes back on,
it's anybody's guess.
You know, let me take it
a little closer
to where the mobile home is.
All right, there's
gotta be something here.
Something that will
pinpoint the location.
I don't know,
certain type of trees,
some type of rock
formation, anything.
It's dark, all the trees
look exactly the same.
It's like finding a needle
in a haystack.
We gotta do an overall sweep.
I think you're right,
we just don't have enough time.
Come on,
there's gotta be something.
He did a really good job of
camouflaging that motor home.
I don't see how he's keeping
three or four people in there.
Not possible.
Oh, babe, are you okay?
Babe?
Where am I?
I don't know.
Where did he bring you from?
Who are you?
My name's Erica.
Wait, I know you,
we go to school together.
Yeah, you're in my film class.
You're friends with Jake.
I'm so sorry.
Jake's dead.
What? How?
Baby, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
Dani?
Ryan, what happened
to Jake?
He shot him.
Where is he?
I don't know.
He left
and he hasn't come back.
Who's he?
He's a fucking psychopath.
I was at my dad's house,
someone came up behind me.
That's all I remember.
Please, try and get out
of those things.
God.
We're not gonna get any help
from this videotape, are we?
No. But we're almost there
so it don't matter.
I guess we'll just have
to walk with the other guys
until we find him, doesn't
look like we have a choice.
How many guys we got
in search and rescue?
There's about five of us,
two K9s, an aerial unit.
Hold on a second.
- What do you got?
- Can you rewind that?
- Yeah, how far back?
- Right there.
You see that?
What is that,
a little red light?
Yep, it looks like a tree,
like it's going straight down,
but that's not a tree.
Is that like a tower
for light?
Yeah, yeah,
it's a cell phone tower.
How many of those
in the neighborhood?
Local cell.
There's one.
All right, bring it in.
Bring it in, guys.
Yeah, we're gonna go.
You guys go three miles
north and then cut east.
We'll meet you
at the crossing, okay?
Okay.
Hey, remember,
we want him alive.
I got no signal, man.
Ow! Ow!
Fuck!
Take it easy.
Take it easy. You all right?
God, that hurts.
- You all right?
- No!
Ow, all right, man.
- Take it easy.
- No, it's okay.
Just hurry up, would you?
Fuck!
Oh, shit, dude!
Oh, shit!
Come on, hurry up!
Hurry up!
Get me out of this
fucking trap.
Hurry up!
Get it, hurry up,
open the trap.
Oh.
Wow.
Okay.
One of the kids
stepped on one of those.
That means we're close
to the mobile home.
- Yeah.
- Can you make it?
I'm okay. I'm okay.
- All right.
- Fucking asshole.
Let's go.
Watch your step.
There it is.
I think we should wait
for the team.
We don't have enough time.
There's nobody here.
Yeah, it's completely empty.
Charles Moyer,
he still lives here.
Well, then there's a possibility
that he could come back,
so let's wait
and ambush him.
That's a good idea.
I need a verbal confirmation
from somebody on the squad.
I need a verbal from
somebody on the squad, please.
It's the storm, come on.
Peterson?
Ow.
Something doesn't
seem right.
I'mma check
the perimeter, okay?
Bill, come here.
Ow!
Shh!
Sorry.
Get the hell outta here.
Look at that.
Here, hold this up
and cover me.
All right, cool.
Okay, hold on.
Move it, you ready?
- Hold on, hold on.
- Okay, one, two, three.
Whoa, should we wait
for backup?
There ain't enough time.
Okay, just keep pulling.
Okay, you've got this,
come on.
Please.
You got this, Dani.
Come on, you've got this.
Yes.
I got it.
Ryan. Please stay with
us, Ryan. Please, Ryan.
Please.
Fuck it!
Ow!
Shh!
You shh.
Say a prayer
for the both of us, huh.
Okay, let's go.
I can't do it,
I can't get it loose.
Okay, so then just go
and find us some help.
Still with us, babe?
Behind the chest.
What's behind the chest?
I think there's a knife
back there.
Can I cut you loose?
I don't know.
You might just have
to cut the whole thing off.
What, I can't cut
off your hand.
You have to,
because I wanna get
the fuck out of this place.
Hey, babe,
no, you can't do that.
It's the only way, Ryan.
Are you sure?
Yes, just do it, come on!
- No!
- Yes, now!
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
Come on, Dani. You have to.
No, we can get out
of here some other way.
Okay, I'll just wait
for him to come in.
When he does.
Hey, you have to hit him
on the first swing.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
You see that?
Watch out. Watch your step.
Ah!
There's another one.
Oh.
Get him, Dani, get him!
Come on, Dani, come on!
Dani, no!
Hey, you piece of shit.
Let go of her!
Stop it!
Dani, Dani, run.
Fuck you, man.
- Come on, Dani.
- Dani, go.
- Come on, get up.
- Come on, get up!
Run, Dani, run!
No. Dani!
You fucking pathetic creep.
Come on,
let's see what you got.
- Ryan, what are you doing? Stop.
- Why don't you let me
out of this chair, we'll
see who's tough, huh?
No!
Fuck!
Fuck you!
No!
No!
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Don't move! Don't move!
Freeze!
Drop the weapon!
You okay, man?
You okay?
You gonna be all right?
- Stay with me, buddy.
- You guys, he's getting up!
Do not move!
Stand down!
I know what you want, Charles.
What do I want?
You want a new heart,
but not at her expense.
Stand down, Bill.
Stand down.
We're your friends.
I can get you on the hospital
donor list...
Arrange for surgery.
No, he had his chance.
Let us help you.
You okay?
We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
Take two.
Where am I?
You okay?
You're underground.
How did you find us?
The camera, it led us to you.
Oh, my God.
Hold my hand.
Hey. Hey.
We gotta get outta here.
Come on, we gotta go.
Interesante.
Thank you.
Thanks for cheering.
Community College. Media Building...
- East hall. Fire alarm triggered. Over.
- Stay on the line.
Yeah, man, they must've
updated the autofocus on the S-3.
The a7S-2
is much more user friendly.
You checked the manual yet?
Dude, it's in the menu,
it's right here.
- All right, this is Film class.
- Everything's in the settings.
Put your cell phones away.
- Ryan, look at you.
- And open up your minds.
The importance of cinema...
Cinema.
...in shaping, reconfiguring,
reimagining society
cannot be stressed enough.
Now we have seen
a single documentary...
...force one of the largest
amusement park corporations
in the world to change
its policies
and to change
global perceptions
about whales in captivity.
Now we have also seen
a comedy almost start a war.
Wilder,
Walsh,
Truffaut,
Fellini, Sturges,
Micheaux, Parks,
Hitchcock, Scorsese.
Now those are a few
of my personal faves.
Who here can tell me
who said,
"film is truth 24 times
a second"?
Ah, shoot.
"And every cut a lie"? Jake?
Quentin Tarantino.
Good guess, but no.
- Nice try, bro.
- Dani?
That was French Swiss filmmaker
Jean-Luc Godard, 1960.
Yes, bravissimo.
Class, meet Dani,
recipient of last year's
prestigious best film award.
What a surprise.
Which you can check out in the
display right outside the door.
You know what, young lady?
I am very anxious to hear about
your latest project. All of you.
This year, I'm putting
together a medical documentary.
What's wrong with this thing?
I'm planning on getting
footage at the hospital...
So much
for being user-friendly.
Yeah, I'm trying to pull
rack focus,
but I think your face
broke the lens, dude.
Do you even know what you're doing?
Yo, give me that.
A rack focus is easy.
All you need is an
object in the foreground
and then you
rack focus.
Really? How long have you been
waiting to use that lame joke?
- Hold on, you're not in frame.
- Oh, yeah, is this better?
Knock it off, man,
give me that back.
Okay, sorry.
I forgot how sensitive you
get when you're in love.
Guys, unless Erica is in your
film and you're starting early,
could you turn
the camera off, please?
Actually, she is the
star in our film, Professor.
Not that it matters anyways.
I mean, how can we compete
with a privileged, multi-award
winning director like Dani over here?
First of all, you could finish your
film on time instead of making excuses.
Funny.
Okay.
Quiet down, fellow filmmakers.
All right, guys, why don't
you break it down for me
what your project is about
this year?
- Okay, so our film is about...
- It's awesome.
It's basically Pretty Woman
meets The Walking Dead.
- I call it...
- We call it.
Right, we call it
Streetwalkers.
It's about zombie prostitutes
that take over a small town.
I didn't see that coming.
But are you guys sure you're
taking this seriously?
Yeah, we are, Professor.
I mean The Walking Dead
is like one of
the most successful TV shows
of all time
and Pretty Woman is like
the best movie ever, right?
Well, it's not exactly
Citizen Kane, but go on.
We wanted to make
a horror film
that would appeal
to both audiences.
Yeah, like a film my man Ryan here
could take a girl like Erica to go see.
Thank you, dick, for that
very specific example.
You're welcome.
Okay, all right, well,
what's your GPA, guys?
Erica, break a leg.
Don't worry, Professor.
I'll be sure to keep Spielberg
and Lucas here in check.
Just make sure you eat
before you come over tonight.
I don't wanna deal with
all your hangry energy.
Hey, Jake.
You know, I can make a darn good
zombie for your film project.
A good one.
She looks like a zombie
when she doesn't get
enough sleep anyway.
Hey, Jake, got any room
for me, man?
I could totally play
a survivor.
You could put an arrow
through my head, so bad ass.
Come on, dude,
don't film right now.
I have to practice.
Dude, you're gonna
run into somebody.
We're making a movie,
I gotta practice.
It is impressive to see
you multitask.
I don't think
I've ever seen this before.
- It's a lot going on.
- See. Positives.
Good luck with your
Streetwalkers flick.
Sounds fun.
Just for the record,
we're taking home
the award for best short.
I think you're gonna enjoy my
acceptance speech, I really do.
You can do a lot better
than the zombie prostitutes.
Dude, we have to beat her.
Dude, her film was dope last
year and she deserved to win.
Actually we're passing by
the reason she won last year.
- Oh, gosh.
- Who's the school's biggest donor?
- You guessed it, Papa Moneybags.
- Why don't we just focus
on finishing our project
this year?
Dude, you can't tell me
it's just a coincidence.
If your dad was
funding the program,
we'd have the professor
in our pocket.
You should be careful, Jacob.
Professor Smith,
I'm sorry, I didn't...
I mean, do you wanna risk
something terrible happening, huh?
You could crack the lens.
You left this behind
in the classroom.
Thank you, sir.
I'll be more careful
with the equipment.
Buona fortuna, guys.
Good luck.
- Why didn't you warn me?
- He gave you the eyes, dude.
- Did one of these.
- I looked like an idiot.
I thought he was gonna
punch you in the throat.
Yeah, I feel like
he already did.
All right,
let's check this out.
Ohh. So clean!
Coming, bro. Gosh.
And here we have a dumbass
in his natural habitat,
completely oblivious
to common consideration.
Dude, what's up?
Hey, what's up, dude?
Dude, I figured
the focus out.
Wow, you should really put that
in the hands of a professional.
Oh, let me know when
you find one.
Oh, you're funny, fuck you.
You ready to go?
Yeah, I was kinda hoping
to get in the zone first
and then see what you had in
your fridge for craft service.
No, bro, we don't have time.
We gotta pick up Erica.
- Just smoke in the car, dude.
- I am hungry.
What about craft service?
You promised me craft service.
We'll pick something up
at the gas station.
They better have some fucking taquitos.
I'mma be pissed at you.
Where'd you park?
- Twelve years old, left, dude.
- Twelve years old?
Dude, this is gonna be
bigger than Halloween.
I'm pretty sure
Carpenter didn't get high
when he made Halloween.
You don't know that.
Come on, dude.
What, you don't wanna get
high with me?
I'm getting high.
You're hot boxing me, bro.
Well, then I'm a good friend.
I'm getting you by contact.
- You don't have to do anything.
- You're so generous.
Yeah, where's my taquitos,
by the way?
I ain't getting no taquitos.
Dude, this is gonna
make me even more hungry.
What happened to this, oh, I'm gonna
quit smoking, dude, I wanna get better?
Yeah, I think I was high
when I said that,
so I don't remember.
That stuff stinks.
What kind of ganja you smoking?
The good kind.
It's called OG stank dank.
Stank dank?
Stank dank.
- Come on, dude.
- What?
If my mom smells this
in my car,
- she's gonna flip.
- Your mom loves me.
She's loves me
and I love her.
- Easy.
- What? Can you say hi to her for me?
- Frick, dude, I knew I went the wrong way.
- You did go the wrong way.
What are you doing?
We're going
to your girlfriend's house.
I'm high, dude.
He got a contact high
from this guy.
Does it look good?
Do I look good?
You do, you look
pretty good, dude.
- Are my eyes red?
- Yep.
I was gonna clean my room.
- Hey!
- Look at the window.
How you like my teeth,
everybody?
Oh, I'm excited.
We're gonna do some work.
Hey, Emma.
Hey, Ryan,
can I be in the movie?
- No.
- Why?
Because I already
told you no.
- There's no parts for you.
- We'll get you in the next one.
Emma, get in the house.
Don't forget
to feed Penny, okay?
How late are you gonna be
out doing this movie thing?
I already told you we're gonna
be filming for a couple of hours.
Hey, Mr. Gallagher.
Hey, Ryan.
I understand the name of this
movie is Streetwalkers.
So what exactly is my
daughter gonna be doing
dressed like she is
underneath that coat?
Oh, my God. Dad, stop it.
Mr. Gallagher, I promise it's
gonna be a very classy film.
Yeah, no nudity
or anything like that, so.
All right, just try
to remember,
she has a little sister
who looks up to her, okay?
I'd prefer not to be
on camera, please.
- I'm not recording.
- All right, Dad,
can you just go inside now?
Just leave them alone.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Bye.
- Oh, we'll get her back safe.
- Have a good night, sir.
No, but for real, thank you for helping
us, Erica. Appreciate it.
Yeah, it's not exactly
a dream role.
I mean, it's not fine.
She threatened
to run away again.
I had to talk her out of it.
You know, same old story.
Word on the street is you're
numero uno in theater major.
Is there any truth
to that rumor, Erica?
Oh, dude, they call her
two-take Erica
because she gives you
exactly what you need
- in the first two takes.
- Okay, no, wait.
Actually it's the first take
and I just like to have
a little fun,
have a couple more takes
on my hands, you know.
Dude, she's got
a full ride scholarship
- to a big league acting school.
- Julliard.
Oh, wow, that is big time,
so congrats, that's awesome.
She's the real deal, man.
Dude, that's exactly what we
need to take out Dani this year.
- I'm telling you, for real.
- Oh, my God.
She wins best short film
every year
and Jake is convinced that
it's because her dad is...
That is the reason, Ryan.
I tell you that every time.
Dude, what Jake won't tell you
is that he and Dani dated
briefly and she dumped him.
- Wow. Wow.
- He couldn't hang.
Seriously, dude,
that's such a low blow.
- What, bro?
- Honestly.
No, the breakup was mutual,
all right? I'm over her.
Seriously, everyone
just shut up
and remain silent the rest of
the way and just focus, please.
- Okay, so you're gonna go to the second light pole.
- Okay.
And then you're gonna work
that sidewalk technically.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
So how long is this
gonna take?
Oh, we just need you
for a few minutes, babe.
- Yeah.
- We'll be quick.
- Okay, please, just two minutes, 'cause it's freezing.
- Yeah, that's fine.
Okay, can you help me
with my jacket, Mr. Director?
Of course, Miss Julliard.
Wow!
Sorry, Mr. Gallagher,
this is not gonna be classy.
Yes.
I was gonna ask you
to be convincing,
but I think you got it
down, girl.
- Work it. Work it.
- Do that catwalk.
Hey, babe,
you're doing great.
We're just gonna get
some B-roll shots, okay?
You said two minutes.
Just work it like
a Stoker Hills girl.
You get what I'm saying?
Hurry the fuck up,
it's cold out here.
Ooh, feisty.
Bro, are you texting
right now?
You're the director.
Ryan, a great mind
needs great fuel
and my mother asked me if she
should leave out the lasagna
and I replied yes, so.
She got enough for me too?
Yeah, considering lasagna's
typically made in bulk,
but we're filming now,
so shut the fuck up, okay?
Dude, seriously,
that's your mom again?
No, I sent you
a little something.
Why don't you take a peek?
I didn't get it.
Damn, dude, phone's dead.
Dude, your phone
is always dead.
- What's the point in even having one?
- Huh.
It's a good thing that car
wasn't looking for hookers.
Hey, I will say though
if this whole acting thing
doesn't work out for Erica,
she has a solid
backup plan, man.
- Oh, two middle fingers in one day.
- Take three, bro.
I am on.
Oh, wow, I'm on fire.
Come on,
let's get a little closer.
- Okay, sound good.
- Rocks up here.
You guys,
I'm seriously freezing.
Can I please be done?
- Yeah, come back.
- Okay, thank you.
My toes are literally numb.
No, we can't afford you.
I'll buy you a spa day.
You can just give me
my spa day, babe.
You know, give me
a nice foot massage
after wearing these heels.
Okay so the other shots
that we have, you're the POV.
Oh, no, we should
get a POV over.
- Oh, shit, hold on.
- What?
- Dude, this guy's soliciting her or something.
- Hi, we're just filming
- a movie over here.
- Should you say something?
Yo, straight up, let's go.
- Oh, shit!
- Hey, Erica!
Hey, stop! Erica!
- Stop!
- Hey, stop the car!
- What the fuck?
- The hell you doing, man?
- Stop the car.
- Hey, dude, stop!
- Jesus Christ.
- Shit!
Dude, we need to call
the cops right now.
Dude, we need
to call the cops.
So not a single person was
reported missing tonight?
No.
When did we get this?
They found it at the
school about an hour ago.
Peterson, come here.
He's driving
an old rusted sedan.
It's north
of the industrial park.
Who brought the video
over from the school?
We got that from a fireman.
Have him
come into the station.
You got it.
Hey, get in touch with the
school officials too, would you?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
Dude, I'm calling the cops.
Get in the car, bro.
- Fuck!
- What?
What are you doing, bro,
come on.
My phone fell down
the fucking drain, dude.
Dude, we don't have
time for this.
- Get in the car!
- Fuck, I can't reach it, man.
They're getting away,
bro, let's go.
God damn it.
This camera, fuck,
oh, my God.
- Let's go!
- Fuck!
Open the door, dude,
come on.
Shit, man.
What about your phone?
Wait, it's dead, shit! Dude,
we need to go to the cops.
Dude, we're not gonna
risk losing Erica.
We need to go to the
cops, dude, we need help!
Fuck, dude,
this is all my fault.
It's not your fault.
- Yo, is that him up there?
- Yeah, I think so.
Dude, you need
to slow down, dude.
- Shut up!
- Slow down!
- Ryan.
- Shut up!
Watch out!
Fuck, damn it, shit!
Shit.
Yo, get out, we gotta push.
Come on, dude!
Okay, I'm going.
- Go!
- Let's go!
Push, man, push!
Dude, I'm pushing
as hard as I can. Fuck.
Push harder then.
Still filming this?
Yeah, dude, I'm getting
this piece of shit on camera.
Let's just focus
on getting Erica back.
Shit, dude, we lost him.
What do you think
is gonna happen?
- What else are we gonna do, man?
- Get help.
The more time we waste...
I've seen those fucking
cop shows, all right?
The cop show?
This isn't fucking cop shows.
This is real life.
If we tell them that's someone's
kidnapped, they're gonna fucking go...
This is my fucking fault, man!
There, right there.
I don't know where else
he could've gone.
Okay, all right.
- Oh, shit, dude.
- Easy, it's small.
The fuck is that?
What the fuck?
You think he set
this up, dude?
Go check it out.
There's nowhere else
he could've gone.
Holy, stop, stop!
Yeah, hold on,
I think I see him.
Let me see.
- That's his car, let's go.
- No, hold on.
That car, it looks a little
darker than the other one
and it doesn't look like
there's anyone inside, man.
- Please let's just get the cops.
- Shh, there he is.
Dude, we
really need to get the cops.
- I'm not kidding.
- No, bro, we're not gonna get the cops.
- Why?
- There's not enough time.
We don't know what
he's done to Erica, bro.
Are you kidding me?
Dude, Jesus.
What's he doing right now?
Is he getting to Erica?
No, what is that?
That's a...
that's her purse, bro.
- Get over there.
- I'll get the guys together.
It looks like they're about five
miles north of the abandoned building.
We could watch the
rest of this in the van.
God, that's not gonna work,
the battery's about to go.
What, you want me to stay
or what?
No, you go ahead. I'll get someone
to prepare a media transfer
and I'll meet you over there.
- Copy that.
- Keep me updated.
- No.
- Yeah, let's go.
Let's go, dude.
There's gotta be a door
we can get into. Come on.
Dude, come on, let's go.
Bro, stairs. Come on.
- Come on, dude.
- Coming, yeah.
Such a bad idea.
Yo, that's her.
- What?
- We need a weapon first.
- Whoa!
- What?
Holy shit!
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck.
Oh, my God.
Yo, it's all we got, let's go.
Fuck, she's gone.
Oh, Jesus.
Fuck, man, she's gone!
- What?
- The hell, Erica.
What the fuck?
Dude, what the hell
is going on here, bro?
Oh, my God, dude,
we need to go to the cops.
Ryan.
We need to get the cops.
Fuck. This is not good.
Oh, shit.
Shit, dude, let's get
outta here.
Bro, let's get the fuck
out of here. Please.
Yo, Jake, behind you.
No, stop it!
Stop it!
Fuck,
what's he doing?
He's got a gun.
Ryan, we gotta get the fuck outta here.
Go!
How the hell do we
get outta here?
Jake, this way!
Fuck, go, run!
- Fuck, come on, dude.
- Run!
Shit, car's on the other side, dude.
Let's go!
Come on, dude, fuck!
Fuck, dude,
get the hell outta here, go!
Detective Adams,
drive's ready to go.
I'll meet you in the van.
Chopper's coming.
K9 up here and then up
there and then that way.
Hey, we just got
to the building.
How does it look?
Oh, we haven't found
anything yet,
but we just finished
our first pass.
Make sure you check
the perimeter.
The kids made it out of the
building into the woods.
Our guy went after 'em.
Did you find any of the cars?
Negative, they're both gone.
They could be in the lake,
call the dive team.
The detective just got in the
car, so let's wrap this up, okay.
- Hey, Bill... be careful.
- Yeah?
This could be The Shadow.
I was thinking the same thing.
See you soon.
Hurry up, man.
So, we'll stay on channel 8.
Got it. Okay, thanks.
- All right, let's go.
- All right, okay, I gotta go.
Let's go, come on.
I'm dying.
Suck it up, don't be a bitch.
Oh, fuck, God.
We need to double
back and get Erica, dude.
I think
we might've lost him.
Ah, fucking hope so.
We were moving pretty quick.
I don't think I've ever
ran that fast in my life.
Who the fuck is this guy?
I don't know, man.
All right, dude.
We gotta do something.
Let's go back to the basement,
get Erica.
What if he's not working alone?
We need to get help, man.
If you wanna get help,
that's fine.
I'm going back for Erica.
Split up?
Dude, that's not a good idea.
I'm not letting you
go back there alone.
It's up to you, bro.
But either way,
I'm going back, all right?
Go!
Ryan?
Ryan?
Where the fuck are you, man?
Ryan?
Ryan, is that you?
Hey!
What, where the hell
were you?
- I was looking for you, bro.
- I spill my guts on camera.
I found something, come on.
Almost speared you.
What?
You okay?
No, what happened
to your face?
Were you crying?
What?
Were you crying?
- Shut the fuck up.
- All right, come on.
Fuck, Ryan.
What happened?
My leg's in a animal trap
or something, dude, fuck!
Fuck this.
All right,
don't move, ready?
Fuck! Fuck!
- Wait, it's this way.
- Shit.
Ah, fuck, wait.
Right here,
step on this platform, okay?
Right here,
just step right here.
Good. Hold it, easy.
Pull out, yeah.
Oh, fuck, shit.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Can you run on it?
- I think so.
- All right.
- But we gotta move, okay?
All right, let's go.
- We're close.
- Oh, shit.
Come on, dude, come on.
- Oh, fuck, it hurts so much.
- We almost there, all right.
Just push through.
What the hell?
Is anyone inside?
I don't know, dude.
I came looking for you
after I found it.
- I don't hear anybody.
- Yeah, me neither.
Hello, anyone in here?
Fuck, dude.
Hello?
Looks like
someone's staying here.
Maybe. They're not here now.
Maybe we should
take a load off
and just hide in here
for a minute?
Okay.
All right, just for
a bit, dude.
Fuck.
Oh, God.
Dude, doesn't the woods
end up at school?
Yeah,
I think so eventually.
All right, man,
let's just keep going.
Once we get
through the woods,
we can get to the school,
use the phone.
I don't think we have
to worry about that guy
following us though.
I know I was wrong last
time, but I guarantee you
he made it back
to the building by now.
Like, we were flying
through the woods, man.
Shit! Shit!
- Did you see something?
- What?
Shh.
I think he found us.
Maybe it's the guy that's
living here, you know.
Well, do you wanna stick
around and introduce yourself?
All right, let's make
a run for it, I'm after you.
Let's go.
Come on, dude, let's go.
I'm trying.
You gotta keep up,
come on, bro.
Dude, my leg, I can't.
God, I can't move.
You can, come on, bro,
get up.
Let's go, come on,
you got it.
- Dude, we gotta go.
- My leg.
Almost there,
come on, come on.
We got this.
This guy must've done
a pretty good job
cleaning up his tracks.
There's gotta be
something there.
I saw at least
one DB in the video.
Okay, well, we'll go over
every inch of this place.
Are you close?
Listen, the kids made
it out of the woods.
It put them over there
by Stoker Hills College.
They went inside.
I'm headed over there now.
Have you heard anything
from the school officials yet?
Nothing.
Bill, I'm thinking about the
six people who've gone missing
in the past month.
Half of them, The Shadow
went after prostitutes.
The other half,
three random guys.
Yeah, it doesn't really
sound like a pattern to me.
Well, other than the fact that
they're all relatively
young and healthy?
So you're saying they're
not random abductions?
No, maybe.
Look there's more video
to watch.
Call me if you get an update.
Copy that.
Adams?
- Dude, he's out there.
- What, did you see him?
- Yeah.
- Did he see you?
- I don't know, maybe.
- Let's just keep going, bro.
Come on.
Library's down here.
This is it.
Go.
Gotta be a phone
over here somewhere.
Shit, dude.
Why don't we just
pull the fire alarm
and then the firemen and cops
will come here right away?
Yeah, great idea, Ryan.
All right, we just gotta find one.
I think I heard something.
What is it?
I don't know.
Excuse me, sir.
Hey, there's a fire alarm
over by him.
- Hey.
- Could you help us out real quick?
Hey, no one's supposed to be
in here.
- Go!
- Go!
Come on.
Shit! Shit, dude!
Fuck! Fast, fast, come on.
Locked it.
We need
to go back for Erica.
Like you said,
one of the alarms.
We saw,
there's one downstairs.
Shh, don't move. Hear that?
Fuck!
All right, dude, he's gone.
All right, let's make a run
for it.
No, no, no! He could still
be right there, or not.
There's another door
in the back of this room.
Okay, yeah, you're right.
All right, let's bait him
into this room
and make a run
for that door, okay?
Okay, I can do it.
I'll divert his attention
to the back door
then we can make a run
for the stairs.
Yo, let me do it, okay?
Your leg, you ready?
Come and get us, you piece
of shit. Shit! Shit!
Shit, dude, he's right there,
come on.
- Okay.
- Go!
Dude, fire alarm.
Come on.
He saw us. He's coming down.
Shit, dude, come on,
let's go, let's go!
Just push through, dude.
Fuck!
Come on, man, get up!
Come on. Let's go. Let's go!
- Dude, come on, let's go. Come on!
- Let's go, let's go.
Let's go! Dude, push
through! Come on.
Come on, the door's right
here, dude. Come on.
God.
Oh, shit.
Here. We can get
through this door.
Fuck, dude. Come on.
We gotta get in the woods.
I can't do it, dude,
my ankle.
Come on, bro!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!

Stoker Hills Community College
Media Building East Hall,
fire alarm triggered.
Over, stay on the line.
Copy that.
Let base know we're turning
into the parking lot
for Stoker Hills Community
College right now.
- We here?
- Yeah.
- Sorry, sir.
- Jesus Christ.
We found a body in the storage
closet on the first floor.
Looks like the janitor
of the building.
None of the kids?
No kids.
Well, they're here,
keep looking.
Yes, sir.
York, send some paramedics
to the back of the school.
Only one kid at the school?
And the body
of the janitor.
So the kids ran
into this room here.
York, what you got?
We've contacted each
of the kids' parents
and we had visual confirmation
of the girl's house
from the tape,
her dad's pretty upset.
Says he doesn't know anyone
who would wanna hurt her.
You think this is our guy?
Based on his
physical characteristics,
comparing the street camera
to the video, it's him.
That means
all these missing people,
they're either dead or
they're here somewhere.
So keep looking.
Give me that flashlight.
I don't think anybody's here.
Look at this part
right here.
Fuck, man, she's gone.
This is where the kids
go into that room.
Look, dude,
what the hell's that?
Everything looks pretty much
the same as it is in the video.
What's he got her
connected to?
Some kind of IV
or something?
I don't know.
It's medical equipment.
What's he using it for?
Is he trying
to take her blood?
Maybe he's injecting
something into her.
Hold on, let me rewind it.
That's fucking weird.
Nothing, no medical
equipment, no IV.
Only thing that seems to be
out of place is this scalpel.
Now, one of the kids found
this in the other room
when they were looking
for a weapon.
So he took everything
out of here except
he forgot his medical scalpel.
And this was his only
means of defense.
Ryan, wake up, babe.
Come on, please, wake up.
Please wake up, babe.
Please, baby,
wake up, please.
Ryan, wake up, babe, please.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Baby, I'm so sorry.
No, babe,
it's not your fault.
I swear it's not your fault.
We should never have
had you outside.
- Babe, I'm so sorry.
- No, it's not your fault.
- Fuck.
- I swear.
We just really need
to figure out
how to get the fuck
out of this place.
Where are we?
I don't know.
I was in one building
and now I'm in this room.
I don't even know
how I got here.
That motherfucker killed Jake.
What?
We were running out of the
school and he shot him.
We gotta stop this guy.
What's he
doing with your blood?
Ryan, I'm so scared, Ryan.
Hey, I'm scared too.
All right, we're gonna
figure this out.
You're gonna be okay,
I promise, okay?
And they came
right into here.
Yeah, and then
they went there.
He said they swept this
pretty well.
- You smell that?
- Yeah, that's not good.
- Did you hear that?
- Yeah.
- I think somebody is coming.
- Yeah, I heard it.
Hey, if he unties you,
I'm gonna try and buy you some time.
You need
to make a run for it.
No, I'm not leaving here
without you.
- Yes, you have to.
- No. No way.
Didn't see that, huh?
I guess they didn't
sweep the fucking room.
Get some bolt cutters.
Mathis!
Please, hey,
just let us go, all right?
We'll do whatever you want.
Don't.
No, don't touch me.
Stop, please, stop.
Get away from me,
please.
Why are you messing
with our blood?
Please,
just get away from me.
Hey, if you let us go,
I'll get you all the
money you need, all right?
Look, we won't say anything
to anyone.
Stop it!
What do you want from us?
Fuck you, man.
Oh, babe, are you okay?
Fucking shit.
Back out! Back out!
Back out! Back out!
Well, I guess we found
our missing persons.
But I don't see
any of the kids.
Hey, think I found something.
Here, let me just open it.
"Did I request thee maker
from my clay to mound me man?
"Did I solicit thee from
darkness to promote me
"or here place me
in this delicious garden?"
This guy read books?
Well, he must be mad
at God or something.
Solid print right there.
Should bag this.
Any idea what
this machine does?
Not a clue.
Well, look at here.
Property of Stoker Hills
Medical Center.
Where the fuck is this guy?
Sorry for the wait.
Dr. Brooks will see you in a moment.
Thanks.
Hey,
at some point I gotta call Katie
and tell her I'm not gonna
be home to change diapers.
You know, why don't you get outta here?
I'll take it from here.
I don't want Katie to worry.
Are you kidding me?
Go home? No.
Plus, you think I wanna go
home to change diapers?
I've never done it, but I hear it's
the best part about being a parent.
Oh, yeah?
It's not.
It sucks.
I hate it.
Hey.
Gentlemen, I'm Dr. Brooks.
Detective Adams,
this is my partner.
Detective Stafford.
Right this way.
Oh, I was told that you found
some of our missing equipment.
Yeah, I think so.
Thanks for seeing us
so quickly, Dr. Brooks.
Can you tell us what this
equipment might be used for?
That's for, um,
testing tissue and blood.
Yes, this was taken
from our lab.
Why would someone
wanna take that?
I don't know. Someone who
wants to test blood and tissue
to find out what type it is,
I guess.
Based on these photos,
could you tell us
what this person's trying
to do?
I don't know.
It might be someone
who needs a organ donor
or has a relative who needs
one, it's hard to say.
Dr. Brooks, we need
all the help we can get.
The person who stole
your equipment,
he's killed
six people already.
I got two kids, early 20s,
might still be alive.
Every minute that goes by
is a minute wasted.
I mean, if you could tell
us anything, anything at all.
I'd really like to help you,
honestly.
I have a daughter their age.
I could imagine
what it would be like
to be a parent
of one of those kids.
If I can think of anything,
you'll be the first to know.
Doc, how long does it take
to normally get back
a tissue or blood sample?
About 24 hours.
If you know how to use
the equipment,
maybe a couple of hours.
Fuck.
I know we decided that we
weren't gonna do anything
for our anniversary,
but I was gonna surprise you
with concert tickets tomorrow.
Yeah? You were?
Okay, to tell you the truth,
I got us reservations at
Sorrento's tomorrow night.
My favorite.
I thought we weren't gonna
do anything this year, babe.
Guess we screwed up.
We have a dinner and a
concert to attend tomorrow,
so we gotta get the fuck
out of this place.
What is he doing
with my blood?
I don't know and I really
don't wanna find out.
You know when me and
Jake were looking for you
in that building?
We went into this room,
there was a body.
His chest
was shredded up.
If we don't figure out
how to get out of this,
this isn't gonna
end well for us.
So it was used
as a slaughterhouse.
Scheduled for demolition
six months ago.
- Oh, they're a little behind schedule.
- Yeah.
Well, I put it in a phone call
to see what the holdup is.
Let me follow up on that.
Thanks, man,
good work today.
Thanks.
I'll be damned if this
son of a bitch tastes me out
because I don't have
a spear on me.
I want the record to show that
I prepared the best I could.
Actually...
If this footage
ever makes it out...
I want my family to know
that I love them.
I know I was a dick
most of my life...
...but, Mom, I want you to know
that you did a great job raising me.
Dad, I wish you would have
visited more,
but I understand, I guess.
Dani, you were right.
I should've gotten
my shit together.
I didn't deserve you at all.
Ry, you're
the best friend
that I could ever ask for...
and I know we don't say
I love you
and that's not gonna start
now, but... you get the point.
And if Erica doesn't make
it out of this alive,
Mr. Gallagher,
I'm sorry, we tried.
We tried so hard.
Hey!
- Where the hell were you?
- I was looking for you, bro.
I spilled my guts on camera.
I found something, come on.
I can't watch this anymore.
We searched every corner
of that building,
hidden rooms included.
But he's gotta be
out there, somewhere.
We're gonna find him.
How's that
blood pressure doing?
You know, if these pills do
what they're supposed to do,
it should be just fine...
but I've just never been on
a case like this before.
It's like it doesn't
even faze you.
Well, of course it does.
I can't let
the other guys know.
But I gotta tell you,
this is some of the worst shit
Stoker Hills has ever seen.
I mean, this guy's like
right out of a horror movie.
It's hard having faith
in a profession like this.
I bet it is.
- You hungry?
- Oh, yeah.
I mean, we see everything
that's wrong with the world
and we're left
to clean it up.
Well, somebody's gotta do it.
There is a special place
in heaven for a guy like you.
I appreciate
you saying that,
but I think I'll take
my time on that heaven part.
You know, you got food,
you've got a dartboard and a refrigerator.
It's like you live here.
Got a gym
and a shower as well.
All I need is a couple
hours on the good old couch.
You're the one paying rent.
You can do whatever you want.
Hey, why didn't you
marry Jessica?
I was close.
But like you said, I live
here, and you know Jessica.
She was always worried someone'd
come knocking on the door,
telling her I got stabbed or
shot or something like that.
I'm not even sure
I made the right choice.
When you find somebody
who really loves you,
they're not gonna make you
choose between your job and her.
This is part of you,
it's who you are.
These are starting to
sound like conversations
I have with my therapist.
Sorry, I got us off track,
I apologize.
It's all right.
It's kinda meaningful
coming from you.
I knew there was a reason you
convinced me to take this job.
All right, enough
with the therapy session.
That's not gonna
solve this case.
You think he's actually
living in that building?
I don't know.
We've got no proof that
he actually lived there.
And I don't think
he's going back.
He is hiding.
- But where?
- I don't know.
We got nothing
from the dive team.
Can I help you?
Hey.
I'm here to see
Detective Adams.
- Adams.
- It's Dr. Brooks.
Mr. Books,
what can I do for you, Doctor?
Can we speak somewhere
in private?
Sure, right this way.
Bill.
I think I know
who took the equipment.
Great, any leads
would help.
About five years ago,
I performed surgery on this patient.
Does the patient have a name?
He didn't have any ID
at the time of the surgery.
We didn't have a name,
he's listed in the report as John Doe.
Then he stole the equipment?
Yeah, see, this wasn't
a routine operation.
We're experimenting with what
is called a xenotransplantation.
That's animal
to human transplant.
You're saying you gave
this man an animal heart?
That's correct.
And what kind of animal
did you take it from?
It was a porcine heart.
You mean a pig?
Yes.
Dear God, did he say a pig?
The organ is altered genetically
with DNA from the patient.
For long term, pigs work
well because their anatomies
are very similar to human.
Sometimes there
are side effects,
but it's been done
before successfully.
Well, how is that even
legal, Doctor?
Every procedure that our
research department undertakes
is done with the permission
of the FDA.
Animal to human transplants
have been done
since the early 1900s.
So why did you choose
to experiment on this man
instead of giving him
a human heart?
Well, the people we
use for these operations
have no other option.
First, you have to be on a waiting
list to receive a heart from a donor.
This guy was probably
at the bottom of that list.
Right now, there
are over 100,000 people
waiting for a transplant.
Eighteen of those will die
every day while waiting.
If this fellow had waited,
he'd probably be dead.
Well, that might not have
been such a bad thing, Doc.
This guy has killed
six people in the last month.
Listen, you said
side effects.
What kind of side effects
are we talking about?
Sometimes the operation
doesn't take.
Sometimes the body can
reject the organ
and cause internal issues
with the immune system.
And what about
mental issues?
Look, I'm sorry
all this happened,
but I hope you're
not suggesting
that the operation had
something to do with that.
Well, it doesn't seem like
the heart's taking too well.
He's acted more like an animal
than he is like a human.
Do you follow up with
your patients, Dr. Brooks?
We try to.
We ask that they come in
every now and then
so we can check up on them.
But we can't issue
a warrant or anything
and force them to come in.
And did you follow up
with him?
He never came back.
I don't know, it just doesn't
seem right
messing with Mother Nature
like that.
The point is to save lives.
The point is to save lives.
And you're pretty sure
this is the guy
that took your equipment?
That's why I came here.
I received this note.
My daughter
Dani wasn't at home.
Sometimes she stays
at her mother's place
but she was with me
this weekend.
Found a match.
Are you sure that there's
nobody else
that would wanna hurt
your family?
I received a call
from him earlier this evening
before I met with you two
at the hospital.
He asked me to perform
the surgery, I told him no.
Did he call you
on the cell phone
or did he call you
at the office?
My office number.
What did he say after that?
- I don't know, I hung up on him.
- Damn it.
And then I got the note.
Did you talk to your daughter
after you talked to him?
Yeah, I called Dani
to check up on her right away.
She said something about
finishing a film project
for her class tomorrow.
Wait a minute.
Did you say your daughter's
name was Dani?
Yes.
Is this your daughter?
Yes.
Where'd you get this?
That footage came
from a camera
that we found at Stoker
Hills Community College.
If he was ready
for the surgery,
that means Dani's collateral.
One of the other two kids
are the match.
We can catch this guy.
If we can get a phone tap
on his landline,
maybe we can trace him
down to a location.
Well, it's 12:45 right now.
It's gonna take two hours.
So if we're gonna do
this, we gotta move now.
What if something goes
wrong, will Dani be safe?
This is the only
chance she's got, Doctor.
I'll get the team together.
You need to keep him on the
line as long as possible.
Once we lock the trace,
I'll give you the thumbs up.
- What if he hangs up?
- You can't let that happen.
You gotta ask him a question,
do something, stall him.
I have to go to the restroom.
Hey, Doctor, he needs you.
And you gotta stay calm.
You can't make him think
anything else is going on.
I really have to go
to the restroom.
I don't feel very well.
Peterson, will you go
keep an eye on him?
Copy that.
You think he's good for this?
I hope so.
I feel bad
about his daughter,
but he seems off or something.
Let's trace every
call coming out
of Dr. Brooks' office
tonight, right?
Got it.
It's been about ten minutes.
Let's go check on him.
Doc, you okay?
- Hello?
- Dr. Brooks?
Jesus Christ.
Oh, no fucking way.
Dr. Brooks?
Shit, fuck!
Let's go.
He's gone.
He took off. Come on. Let's go.
Lock down the perimeter.
- He's on the move.
- Go! Go!
I knew something was
off with this guy.
I don't know
if this is a coincidence,
but he's heading towards
the abandoned building.
And we never told him
where it was.
Oh, shit.
Obstruction, pull over.
What the fuck just happened?
Hey, guys, we're moving in.
Karma.
What do we do now?
Call the dive team.
Charles Moyer.
He's got a name.
He was an orphan, and as an
adult, he was discharged
from the military because
of a mental breakdown.
He's wanted in two states,
assault with a deadly weapon.
So this guy just up
and vanished?
Yeah, for a while.
He worked farmland
just outside of town.
It's all a big forest now.
And apparently,
he was involved
in some kind
of farming accident.
Needed a heart transplant.
And that's where
Dr. Jonathan Brooks comes in.
Dr. Brooks has multiple
citations on his record.
His license was
even suspended
by the medical board at
one point for malpractice.
He was on
temporary probation.
Now, Dani is
his adopted daughter.
We found signs of breaking and
entering at the Brooks home.
We even found evidence
of a struggle,
which confirms the kidnapping.
Well, it's great that you guys
found all this information,
but we still have no idea
where the hell this guy is.
Okay, well, we got a name and
start connecting some dots.
We don't have time
to connect the dots.
He's still out there.
We've got people missing.
He vanished, he lives
here, he drives a car.
Come on, guys, I need you to dig deeper.
Give me an address.
Something.
Got it.
Remember, I want him alive.
Adams.
Yeah.
They couldn't trace
the doctor's phone.
Shit.
You know what,
pull up the video.
Go to where they see the
mobile home in the woods.
You think that's important?
Maybe.
Shit, shh!
All right, pause.
Go back a little more.
Dude.
- Right there, pause.
- Hold on.
On the counter, can you
read what that medicine says?
What's that say?
Hold on.
Cyclosporine?
That's the prescription
our suspect uses.
- God damn it!
- He was in the mobile home
the whole time.
Yeah, but the camera
keeps cutting in and out.
We're not gonna be
able to find it.
Even with a search team,
it's gonna take a while.
Look, we'll have to find
some distinguished landmarks.
We'll do it in the van,
come on.
Okay, it's coming
a little bit loose.
Are there cameras in here?
No, I don't think
he's watching us.
Hey, you almost got it,
keep going.
Good, you're good, babe.
All right.
I got it!
I got it!
All right,
we've gotta find something.
What is it?
What'd you find?
You get it?
Almost.
Hey, you can do it.
Come on. Come on.
All right, so if he comes in,
I'm gonna get him with this.
- You're good.
- All right.
We'll get him to come
over by you, all right?
He's gotta be close enough.
Yo, when he comes in,
make sure he's close enough
for you to reach, all right?
Otherwise don't risk it.
Okay, I think someone's coming
in, I think he's coming.
All right, focus, you got it.
Hey, man, fuck you!
Stop it!
Hey, I'm right here.
Hey, let go of her.
Please, no!
Hey, I'm right here.
Fuck, shit!
No!
Stop it. Stop it, please!
Fuck!
Baby, are you okay?
That's it, just kill me.
No!
Looks like they're about
a mile from the building
when the video cuts out.
When it comes back on,
it's anybody's guess.
You know, let me take it
a little closer
to where the mobile home is.
All right, there's
gotta be something here.
Something that will
pinpoint the location.
I don't know,
certain type of trees,
some type of rock
formation, anything.
It's dark, all the trees
look exactly the same.
It's like finding a needle
in a haystack.
We gotta do an overall sweep.
I think you're right,
we just don't have enough time.
Come on,
there's gotta be something.
He did a really good job of
camouflaging that motor home.
I don't see how he's keeping
three or four people in there.
Not possible.
Oh, babe, are you okay?
Babe?
Where am I?
I don't know.
Where did he bring you from?
Who are you?
My name's Erica.
Wait, I know you,
we go to school together.
Yeah, you're in my film class.
You're friends with Jake.
I'm so sorry.
Jake's dead.
What? How?
Baby, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
Dani?
Ryan, what happened
to Jake?
He shot him.
Where is he?
I don't know.
He left
and he hasn't come back.
Who's he?
He's a fucking psychopath.
I was at my dad's house,
someone came up behind me.
That's all I remember.
Please, try and get out
of those things.
God.
We're not gonna get any help
from this videotape, are we?
No. But we're almost there
so it don't matter.
I guess we'll just have
to walk with the other guys
until we find him, doesn't
look like we have a choice.
How many guys we got
in search and rescue?
There's about five of us,
two K9s, an aerial unit.
Hold on a second.
- What do you got?
- Can you rewind that?
- Yeah, how far back?
- Right there.
You see that?
What is that,
a little red light?
Yep, it looks like a tree,
like it's going straight down,
but that's not a tree.
Is that like a tower
for light?
Yeah, yeah,
it's a cell phone tower.
How many of those
in the neighborhood?
Local cell.
There's one.
All right, bring it in.
Bring it in, guys.
Yeah, we're gonna go.
You guys go three miles
north and then cut east.
We'll meet you
at the crossing, okay?
Okay.
Hey, remember,
we want him alive.
I got no signal, man.
Ow! Ow!
Fuck!
Take it easy.
Take it easy. You all right?
God, that hurts.
- You all right?
- No!
Ow, all right, man.
- Take it easy.
- No, it's okay.
Just hurry up, would you?
Fuck!
Oh, shit, dude!
Oh, shit!
Come on, hurry up!
Hurry up!
Get me out of this
fucking trap.
Hurry up!
Get it, hurry up,
open the trap.
Oh.
Wow.
Okay.
One of the kids
stepped on one of those.
That means we're close
to the mobile home.
- Yeah.
- Can you make it?
I'm okay. I'm okay.
- All right.
- Fucking asshole.
Let's go.
Watch your step.
There it is.
I think we should wait
for the team.
We don't have enough time.
There's nobody here.
Yeah, it's completely empty.
Charles Moyer,
he still lives here.
Well, then there's a possibility
that he could come back,
so let's wait
and ambush him.
That's a good idea.
I need a verbal confirmation
from somebody on the squad.
I need a verbal from
somebody on the squad, please.
It's the storm, come on.
Peterson?
Ow.
Something doesn't
seem right.
I'mma check
the perimeter, okay?
Bill, come here.
Ow!
Shh!
Sorry.
Get the hell outta here.
Look at that.
Here, hold this up
and cover me.
All right, cool.
Okay, hold on.
Move it, you ready?
- Hold on, hold on.
- Okay, one, two, three.
Whoa, should we wait
for backup?
There ain't enough time.
Okay, just keep pulling.
Okay, you've got this,
come on.
Please.
You got this, Dani.
Come on, you've got this.
Yes.
I got it.
Ryan. Please stay with
us, Ryan. Please, Ryan.
Please.
Fuck it!
Ow!
Shh!
You shh.
Say a prayer
for the both of us, huh.
Okay, let's go.
I can't do it,
I can't get it loose.
Okay, so then just go
and find us some help.
Still with us, babe?
Behind the chest.
What's behind the chest?
I think there's a knife
back there.
Can I cut you loose?
I don't know.
You might just have
to cut the whole thing off.
What, I can't cut
off your hand.
You have to,
because I wanna get
the fuck out of this place.
Hey, babe,
no, you can't do that.
It's the only way, Ryan.
Are you sure?
Yes, just do it, come on!
- No!
- Yes, now!
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
Come on, Dani. You have to.
No, we can get out
of here some other way.
Okay, I'll just wait
for him to come in.
When he does.
Hey, you have to hit him
on the first swing.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
You see that?
Watch out. Watch your step.
Ah!
There's another one.
Oh.
Get him, Dani, get him!
Come on, Dani, come on!
Dani, no!
Hey, you piece of shit.
Let go of her!
Stop it!
Dani, Dani, run.
Fuck you, man.
- Come on, Dani.
- Dani, go.
- Come on, get up.
- Come on, get up!
Run, Dani, run!
No. Dani!
You fucking pathetic creep.
Come on,
let's see what you got.
- Ryan, what are you doing? Stop.
- Why don't you let me
out of this chair, we'll
see who's tough, huh?
No!
Fuck!
Fuck you!
No!
No!
Fuck you! Fuck you!
Don't move! Don't move!
Freeze!
Drop the weapon!
You okay, man?
You okay?
You gonna be all right?
- Stay with me, buddy.
- You guys, he's getting up!
Do not move!
Stand down!
I know what you want, Charles.
What do I want?
You want a new heart,
but not at her expense.
Stand down, Bill.
Stand down.
We're your friends.
I can get you on the hospital
donor list...
Arrange for surgery.
No, he had his chance.
Let us help you.
You okay?
We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
Take two.
Where am I?
You okay?
You're underground.
How did you find us?
The camera, it led us to you.
Oh, my God.
Hold my hand.
Hey. Hey.
We gotta get outta here.
Come on, we gotta go.
Interesante.
Thank you.
Thanks for cheering.
