Get the fuck off me.

How do you know that
there's no way to save her?

You're not God!

Nathan!

You're just the one
who's killing her!

Uh, why have we stopped?

There's these weird things
called human beings



and we get hungry at lunch time.

Here, this shithole?

Yeah, no thanks,
I'll sit this one out.

Dad said be inside

in five minutes.

Hey, close the door!

How nice is this?

Three of us on the open road.

There's three of us?

Be nice.

Dad, she hates us.

She does not hate us.

She's just a teenager.

Kind of goes with the territory.

You'll understand one day
when you're her age.

Kill me if I ever
get that moody.

I swear you two

couldn't be more different,

and yet you're both
just like your mama.

She would have loved this.

Dad?

Huh?

I don't want you to die.

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

What if something bad happens?

Nothing bad is gonna happen.

I promise.

Pinky swear?

Come on.

Would you like me to top it off?

Be quiet.

Psychic powers
require maximum focus.

You're holding up...

Three fingers!

Wrong.

- You cheated!
- You cheated!

You had three fingers
and you put one down.

How do you know that?

That means you were peeking

through the fingers then.

I was not peeking
through my fingers.

- Then how did you know?
- You switched it.

How do you know,
are you psychic?

So you're saying that
you're actually a psychic.

Maybe I am, maybe I am.

All right, then I need to know

who's gonna win the game
this weekend.

- Here you go, honey.
- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- Mm-hm.

You sure you
don't want anything?

- Nope.
- Want some pancakes?

Nope, I'm not hungry.

You feel okay?

Yup.

You gonna have any pancake

with your syrup,
or you're just...

gonna go straight liquid?

Don't judge me.

I like syrup.

Do you just want me
to take the lid off

so you can just pour it all
directly straight on there?

Might be easier.

What?

Uh, are you afraid
someone's gonna steal it?

Why, does it bother you, Sissy?

Firstly, Nathan,

can you not call me "Sissy"
because I'm not seven.

Can't you call him "Dad"
even on Father's Day?

Hey, you remembered!

All right, what'd you get me?

A super big hug.

Get out of here.

- You want a hug?
- Oh my God.

You... oh... no!

You guys are so weird.

Happy Father's Day.

- Oh, thank you.
- Uh huh.

Look at that.

A little Father's Day milkshake.

As you can see,

we have a wide range
of receptacles.

What do you think, girls?

They're ugly.

I don't think she'd
have liked any of them.

Is there a particular color
that she was fond of?

She always loved a good red.

Miss?

Keep the change.

Hm.

Hey!

Why don't you ride
up front with us?

I like it back here.

Isn't it bumpy?

Did you get my marshmallows?

It's quiet.

But it's not that safe.

Thank you so much
for your understanding.

I don't think it's legal.

We'll try not
to hit any potholes!

Cut it out!

So this is the... the spot.

It's really something, isn't it?

There's no service.

Are you gonna tell us the story?

So, 17 years ago,

when I met your mama,

we took a road trip

following the same path
we're on now.

Same gas station, same diner.

Did Mom have the pancakes?

You know she had the pancakes.

See, we didn't know
where we were goin',

and that was kind of the idea.

We just wanted to be
on the open road,

total freedom.

So we stopped here.

We drank a bottle
of wine together.

And then I walked Mom...

right there where
Claire's standing...

I didn't have
a ring or anything,

but... I asked her
to marry me.

So, no,

there wasn't anything
special about this place.

But there is now.

And this is where
we'll lay her to rest.

Yeah, about a year late.

All right.

Let's get unpacked.

Mags, why don't you
grab your jacket

since it's gettin'
a little chilly?

Grab mine too, would you?

Hi baby.

I'm not gonna be back from work

till after six,

so can you please
make Maggie some dinner?

There's pasta in the fridge.

All you have to do is
literally just heat it up.

Um, I will be back for bedtime.

Dad'll be home, but you know
what his cooking is like.

And...

I'm sorry about last night.

That was a stupid fight.

I know you love me.

And I love you.

Okay, I gotta go.

I love you, sweetheart.

Hurry up, you've been in there
an hour!

One second, Maggot!

Oh, fuck.

Hello?

Hey Mom.

We made it to you
and Dad's favorite spot.

Miss you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

You okay?

I'm good.

Help me make dinner?

Sure, in a second.

Okay.

Are you in a movie?

Uh huh.

Are you a woman?

No.

Wait.

No.

Are you human?

Nope.

Are you a robot?

Yes.

Is your best friend a robot?

Maybe.

Does your best friend

boss you around?

- Yep.
- Oh my God.

Just say it already!

Are you...

Dad wins once again!

Shocker...

Boom!

Ah, you're just bitter

'cause you're on your period.

All right.

Oh God, I don't know

how you and Mom
could stand it out here.

It's freezing and it's June.

Well...

We had each other

and we snuggled.

- Ew!
- Ew!

- Hey Dad?
- Hm?

Can I smell your beer?

Can you smell my beer?

Mm-hm.

Don't get excited,
I'm just curious.

Ew!

It smells like Claire.

Shut up, Maggot.

Hey Sissy?

Nathan?

What you writing?

Probably a letter
to her stupid boyfriend.

Were you put on this earth

to make me wanna kill myself?

If I was, would you do it?

Isn't it past your bedtime?

I don't have a bedtime.
Isn't it past your bedtime?

Yeah, you do,
No, 'cause I don't have one.

I don't have a bedtime.

Yes you do!

- Yes... no I don't!
- Don't!

I don't have a bedtime,
you admit it!

So this boy.

Is he special?

To me he is, yeah.

Then why haven't we met him?

Because I want him to like me.

Ouch.

What?

My lips are dry and
I don't have any chapstick.

Your mom and her lipstick.

I don't know if you remember.

You were little.

But you used to
sit with your mom,

both of you plopped down
in front of the mirror,

and you guys would put on
your makeup together.

Yeah, I remember.

Mom looked so beautiful.

And...

I looked like a clown.

Cute clown.

Mom was gorgeous.

Yes, she was.

Claire!

Sissy.

Get the fuck off me.

I didn't want to
let her go, Claire.

You have to know that.

I don't wanna talk about this.

How do you know

that there's no way to save her?

- How do you know that?
- It was the hardest decision

I've ever had to make

knowing that you two girls...

I said that I don't want

to talk about this.

You're not God, Nathan!

You're just the one
who's killing her!

Claire.

We have to talk about it.

She was in so much pain, honey.

That's not what this trip

is about.

I just want you to...

Sweetheart, don't go inside.

Hey Claire.

Claire!

I don't know how
to fix this, Val.

Sissy?

What are you doing?

Honey?

Hey, you okay?

Hey, shh, it's okay.

Come on, let's lie down.

You're okay. Come on.

What is it, honey?

- There's somebody...
- There's someone on the roof!

- What?
- I saw someone.

I saw someone just...

Just now on the...

What?

Baby, nobody can get up there.
What...

Dad?

- What is that?
- I don't know.

Come over and sit down
next to your sissy.

Hello?

We've got a gun in here.

Please let us in.

Who's out there?

Dad?

It's okay, honey, all right?

Jesus.

Please will you open the door?

What's the problem?

We want to show you something.

They look really weird.

Don't.

What if they really need help?

Shut up, Maggie!

Don't... don't open it.

I saw her at the gas station.

I think that she followed us.

That was like 50 miles back!

Listen, um...

We can't let you in.

You know, it's late.

If you guys need a phone,

uh, you might want to make
your way up to the highway.

We'll make you
come out eventually.

That's not gonna happen.

I think they're gone.

You don't know that.

It's just kids.

Shut up, you little...

- Hey, Claire!
- What?

You dragged us all
the way out here,

and now we're stuck in
the middle of nowhere

with who knows what outside.

Just so you know,

nobody wanted
to go on this trip.

Claire, this trip was for Mom.

Right, well, guess what?

Mom's dead.

Mags... real nice.

Hey Mags.

Honey.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna go make
sure they're gone.

- Don't go...
- Why don't you go

back there and apologize
to your sister?

Maggie, can you come out?

Maggie...

Go away!

Hey!

Maggie, I'm sorry.

Maggie.

Think they're gone.

I'm sorry.

All right, guys.

Hopefully we scared 'em off.

Let's go back to bed.

There? No.

No way.

Do you want to take the bunk?

What about you?

I am gonna keep watch.

In case those punks
come knocking again.

We'll give 'em
a mouthful of teeth.

Get some rest.

Tomorrow's a big day, okay?

All right.

Hey, Claire.

Shh.

Come on.

It's okay, come on.

The kids?

Who else?

- Fuck!
- Watch your mouth.

All right.

Highway's just a few miles back.

Soon as I get reception
I'll call for help

or I'll flag somebody down.

You're leaving us here?

Mags can't make that hike.

And don't tell her
about the truck.

Hopefully I'll be back
before she wakes up.

Hey.

I need you to stay
here with your sister.

What if they come back?

You're gonna get in that trailer

and you're gonna lock the door
and you're gonna stay in there

till I get back.

Okay?

One, one, one, one, one.

Okay.

All right, you guys
just stay in the trailer.

I'll be back before
breakfast, okay?

Uh, hey?

Uh...

What is it?

Um, it's, uh, nothing.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Okay.

What are you doin'?

None of your business.

Telling your boyfriend

you can't live without him?

What do you want?

Where's Dad?

Uh, he went for a hike.

He said he'll be
back for breakfast.

Well, I'm hungry now.

And why didn't he wake me up?

I would have gone with him.

He said that he wanted
you to stay here,

and he's the boss, so...

Something's going on
you're not telling me.

I'm not a kid.

Yes, you are...

a kid.

Okay, do you want
to try him on the walkie?

Yeah.

Just...

Dad, do you read? Over.

It's Maggie.

Try saying "over" again.

It's Maggie. Over.

Why isn't he answering?

You there? Over.

Uh, he must be out of range.

You don't know that.

What if he got lost?

Or fell?

Or got bit by a snake?

Did you know rattlesnakes
can strike up to three meters

in under one second?

- Maggie...
- That's way faster

than Dad can even move.

Maggie, it...

It'll be fine, okay?

Just go and get dressed.

Nathan, you there?

Still worried?

What do you think?

He'll be back soon.

Can I play?

It's not a toy.

No figure of Mom, huh?

It's really nice.

You think so?

Do you keep it
with you all the time?

Yeah, so?

I think that's really smart.

That way Mom can
always look out for you.

Want to help me make
a dog house for the yard?

We don't have a dog.

No, but a girl can dream.

Okay.

Made the dog's face so far.

The dog's blue.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hello?

Hello?

Maggie, getting hungry?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie, where are you?

Maggie?

Shit.

Maggie, this isn't funny.

Maggie?

Fuck.

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Hello?

Hey!

Maggie?

Maggie?

Who's out there?

Please let us in.

We've got a gun in here.

Please will you open the door?

That's not gonna happen.

We'll make you
come out eventually.

Claire?

Claire?

Claire, do you hear me?

Nathan!

Help!

Nathan!

Claire!

Claire!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hey, come here, come here.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

There's something in there.

There's something in there.

It looked like it was Mom,

and...

I think I'm going crazy.

I think I'm going crazy.

I was... I was just...
I was looking for Maggie,

- because she...
- Maggie?

- She left the...
- Where's Maggie?

- She left the trailer and I...
- Where's Maggie, Claire?

I don't know, I mean,
I don't know, she...

What do you mean you don't know?

Maggie!

Maggie, baby!

Maggie!

- Maggie?
- Dad.

Where the fuck were you?

Stop cussing.

Come here, come here.

- Hey.
- I thought I heard you

outside and I went out there.

And I lost one of my figures.

Listen, you cannot
leave this trailer.

When I'm gone,
Claire's in charge.

Do you understand?

Here's your doll.

You said you'd never
leave me, you promised.

Maggie, I was coming back.

I was just trying
to go find signal.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Listen, you cannot leave this
trailer unless you're with me.

That goes for both of you.

What do we do now?

We can't leave.

Truck won't start.

So, we'll stay here tonight.

And then tomorrow morning,

all of us will
hike up to the road.

What about saying
goodbye to Mom?

She's gonna have to wait.

When I went on the
hike earlier today,

I found a trailer

and there was a
dead man inside of it.

What happened to him?

He, uh, he killed himself.

But I think those
kids made him do it.

It's like they were
daring him to go outside.

What do they want?

I don't know.

What made you go
to the junkyard?

Maggie was missing and
I heard her voice up there.

I found her doll.

I don't understand
what's going on.

I think
they're trying to lure us out.

If they come knocking
again tonight,

you two do not
leave this trailer.

No matter what.

What you workin' on?

A party.

Oh yeah?

What kind of party?

A welcome home party for Mom.

What do we have here?

Oh, yeah, she'd love that.

Are they the lights?

Mm-hm.

It's pink, I thought
she would like it.

Do you think these
are too sparkly?

Is there a such thing
as too sparkly?

And it's a surprise,
so don't say anything.

Oh.

It's almost bed time.

Can we clean this up
and finish tomorrow?

Okay.

Grab Maggie, go to the bathroom,

stay there.

Dad?

Hey.

You go back with your sister,

and I'll be right back, okay?

Promise?

Promise.

Lock the door.

Okay, come on.

Is Dad okay?

We've got a gun!

If you guys don't
quit messing around,

somebody's gonna get killed.

Will you play with me?

Ow.

Ow.

You hurt me.

Hey...

What's taking him so long?

Okay.

Just let me in.

No!

Claire.

Claire, can you hear me?

Claire, can you hear me?

Claire?

Yeah, yeah, we're here.

Are you guys okay?

Kind of, yeah.

Are you okay?

Kind of.

I'm trapped in the
truck, but I'm okay.

Listen, I still don't
know what they want,

but they can't come in
unless you invite them, okay?

- No, no, no.
- Dad!

- We can't hear you.
- Dad!

Just stay put.

Hello?

Hello?

Claire?

Why isn't he answering?

Why isn't he answering?

Hang on, just stay here.

What? No!

- Lock the door.
- No, don't go!

I just... I have
to get within range,

I'll be right back, I promise.

Two minutes,
give me two minutes.

Claire, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Claire?

Nathan?

Nathan.

Nathan.

Can you hear me, Nathan?

Nathan?

Claire.

Just let me in.

Mommy!

Maggie.

Why can't you do it?

Why?

You're so fucking selfish.

Stay the fuck away from us!

You can't even
protect our babies.

That's not Val.

Can I come in?

Leave us alone!

That's not Val.

Come on, come on.

What's the matter, Maggie bear?

Don't you want
to play with mama?

You are not going crazy.

No.

You're not real!

You are the reason I'm dead.

Is it really you, Mommy?

Of course it's me, baby.

Claire?

Hey, Claire... Can you hear me?

I love you.

I thought you were gone forever.

- Why did you leave us?
- Maggie?

Oh, Mommy, I missed you!

I'm right here.

Maggie, who are you talking to?

Claire, can you hear me?

Just let me in, my love.

Claire.

Claire?

Maggie.

Maggie, open the door.

Maggie.

Maggie, open the door!

Maggie!

Maggie!

Hey, you little motherfuckers.

Come on.

You wanna play?

Come on in, come on!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Unlock the door, Claire!

Come on, baby.

It's okay, it's okay.

Maggie?
Where's Maggie?

- Maggie?
- She's in the tub.

She's in the tub, she's dead.

- What?
- She's dead.

Maggie?

Come on out, honey.

Maggie!

Honey?

She was right here.

I saw her body.

That's what they want

you to think, honey.

Maggie!

They're after the kids.

Never had anything
to do with us.

- What?
- Come on.

- What?
- It was never about us.

They wanted Maggie all along.

Come on.

Maggie?

Maggie!

Claire, come on!

Maggie!

Maggie!

But I saw Mom.

I saw Mom, too.

It's not just that.

Maggie, I heard her talking
to her through the door.

It's just games they're
playing with us, honey.

Okay, listen!

I think she's trying
to tell us something.

- Why'd you bring this?
- I don't know, I just...

Woo!

Come on, Daddy!

Maggie!

Maggie!

- Maggie!
- Come on, Daddy!

Woo-hoo!

- I'm over here, Daddy!
- Honey?

You'll never catch me!

Maggie?

Maggie!

"Daddy, come get me!

You'll never catch me!

Maggie?

- Come on.
- I can't.

Are you sure?

Okay, I'll be right back.

Nathan?

Claire?

Maggie?

You're here.

You came back for me.

You're not real.

Where's Maggie?

She's here.

She's safe.

Why?

You betrayed us.

Our family.

Me.

You let me die.

- Why, Nate?
- Oh, Val.

You were suffering.

You gave up.

And now you're trying
to throw my memory away.

No.

I don't want to.

You don't have to.

You don't have to.

We can be together again.

We can be a family again.

Stay here with me.

Nathan...

Nathan...

I don't want you
to worry about me.

Take care of each other.

Nathan!

Promise me,

when the time is right,

you'll let me go.

You're not my Val.

My Valerie's gone.

Nathan!

- Hey.
- That's Claire.

Nathan!

No, no, no!

Claire?

Claire?

Throw me the bottle, Claire!

Dad!

You have to let me go.

Take care of each other.

What are you doing?

What we came here to do.

Maggie.

Come on.

- Maggie...
- Daddy!

It's okay, it's okay.

Daddy, they got me!

Here, let me see.

- You okay?
- I saw Mommy.

She was there, she was
outside of the trailer,

I saw her, and she told me
to come with her and I did.

No, that wasn't Mommy.

I was so scared, Daddy.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Shh, but you're okay.

You're okay, we're together.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Next time we go on a trip,

can we just stay in a hotel?
