It Comes at Night

(THROUGH MASK) Can you hear me?

Dad, can you hear me?

You don't need to fight it.

You can just let it all go.

Everything's okay.

I love you, Dad. I do.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, God...

Come on, son.

Okay, now...

can you lay back for me, Bud?

I'm gonna...

I'm just gonna lay you back, okay?

Okay.

You wanna say anything?

(THROUGH MASK) Bye, grandpa.

I love you.

I'm sorry, Bud.

You done?

He has to be involved...

in everything from now on.

Everything.

If he's not, then we're doing him a disservice.

(MUFFLED) I don't care, Paul. He's 17.

He shouldn't have been there.

He shouldn't have seen that.

I couldn't have done it all on my own, Sarah.

I should've been there. I should've been there instead.

Nobody's gonna blame you for that.

He's gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be okay.

You don't honestly believe that?

Do you?

Sarah, I'm just trying...

I'm trying to do everything I can to protect you guys.

It's been a really long day.

Can we get some rest?

(PAUL AND SARAH CONTINUE, INDISTINCT)

Hey, Stanley.

Don't worry. I'm gonna take care of you.

- Travis, wake up. - What's going on?

- There's somebody in the house. - What?

There's somebody in the house!

(HURRIED FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRWAY )

Stop...

- Dad... - Take Stanley.

Let's go!

Wait. Stay back.

Shh!

Wait!

Paul! Wait!

Hey, hey! Slow down!

Hey, hey, hey!

Put the gun down now!

Put the gun down or I'll shoot you! I'll drop you right now!

- Okay, okay. - Down!

It was an accident. No one needs to get hurt.

All right, hands in the air!

Now... lie down. Now!

Roll over. Roll over!

- Are you sick? - No, sir.

Open your eyes!

- Is anybody else with you? - No.

If I go outside, there's nobody out there waiting for me?

- All right, close your eyes. - Please!

Wait! Wait!

Sarah... come on, quick.

Come on.

Travis! - Come here.

- Take this. It's loaded. - What's going on?

There's a guy in there, I need you to watch him.

Come on.

Stay close!

Travis!

- I told you, keep quiet! - Quiet.

Did you kill him?

He's just unconscious. Are you two okay?

Travis...

I'm gonna need you to get some rope and some duct tape.

Come on, Stanley, come on!

Are you okay? - I'm fine, I'm fine.

If he comes to, just call out.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'll be right back.

- It's me. - Paul?

It's me! Open up.

I think it's just him.

Push him against the tree.

You know what a foot and a half is?

- Sorry. - It's about that long.

- Sorry. - That's all right.

- Do it again. It's okay. - Like this?

Yeah.

Now put it around his face.

- He still has to be able to breathe, Dad. - Put it around.

He can breathe out his nose.

Okay, put it up.

(DISTANT MUFFLED SCREAMING CONTINUES)

(MUFFLED) Help me!

Help!

Hey! Get up!

Get on your feet now.

You see this?

I don't have to use this, but I will if I have to.

I just wanna talk.

And I want honest answers.

If you give me honest answers,

then this is yours. Understand?

Why'd you break into my house?

I promise...

I promise you, I... I...

I didn't think anyone was in it.

There's no lights and the thing's boarded up. It looked abandoned from the outside.

- What were you looking for? - Water...

supplies, anything.

My family...

I have a family...

my wife and our boy in the woods.

- Where? - An abandoned house,

about 50 miles from here.

- Why'd you just leave them? - We're running out of water.

I left them with the rest of the food and water. I thought they'd be safer that way.

- Are they sick? - No.

- Is that why you left them? - No. No, sir, they are not sick.

Listen, I don't even have to shoot you, you know?

I could just leave you out here.

- You want this water? - Yeah.

- You make me believe you. - I'm telling you the truth.

I don't know how much time they have.

All right, so how long have you been living in this abandoned house?

About a week, tops.

How'd you get there?

My truck broke down. It's the first place that we found.

- Where were you before? - My brother's.

- Where? - About 80 or so miles from here.

- Why'd you leave? - Lost our water supply.

- So your... your brother is out there too. - No.

- Where did he go? - He's dead.

So it's just your wife and your son? And nobody else?

Just them.

And do you have any idea what's going on out there?

No.

As soon as people in the city started getting sick,

we got out, got as far away as possible.

If there's a grid left, I don't know who's gonna be on it.

So you're out there driving through 80 miles and you didn't see anything?

No. We didn't see anything or anyone.

We drove at night.

Our truck broke down, I'd been running it without oil.

When I was by myself, I just stuck to the woods and I saw nothing.

Look, look in my eyes.

I'm telling you the truth.

I never would've broken in like that if I thought that the house was occupied,

but I was desperate.

I got no hard feelings at you.

You did what you had to, you had to protect your family.

But if you can spare some water for my family, I can trade for it.

Got food.

- How much? - Got plenty to trade for.

I'm asking how much?
