00:00This story is about a sweet young woman who is running for her life from a dangerous, crazed old man.
00:05Trapped in a dense forest, she doesn't know how close she is to death.
00:08But what does this madman want from her? Why is he after her?
00:11We'll find out in today's story.
00:13At the start of our tale, we meet a man named Wade.
00:16He stops at a gas station while riding his motorcycle through the jungle.
00:20After filling up, he notices a man scolding his dog to keep it quiet.
00:24Without a word, Wade approaches, pulls out a gun, and shoots him dead.
00:28Nearby, a couple sits together.
00:30Wade turns and fires, killing the man instantly.
00:33A young woman watches in terror, hiding, but Wade ignores her.
00:37He simply mounts his bike and rides off.
00:39Why did he slaughter them? We'll soon learn.
00:41Next, we're introduced to a girl named Miranda.
00:44Whenever Miranda has a panic attack, she climbs trees for relief.
00:48Her mother, Jenny, is pregnant now.
00:50Miranda's biological father died by suicide, and Jenny later married a kind man named Eddie.
00:55He loves the family and works hard to be a good father.
00:58Meanwhile, Jenny checks Miranda's room and finds it empty.
01:01Miranda has climbed another tree.
01:03She asks Eddie to coax her down, and he gently does.
01:06He lifts her into the car and tells her they're going for a walk.
01:09Jenny hands Miranda her phone and some medication, reminding her to take it on time.
01:13As they drive, Eddie promises Miranda he loves her, and will always take care of Jenny.
01:17They stop at another gas station so Eddie can use the restroom.
01:20There, Wade pulls in on his motorcycle and asks Eddie where he's headed.
01:24Eddie says they're just out for a walk and that he stopped for the restroom.
01:27After Eddie and Miranda leave at home, Miranda's younger sister Emily returns from college and
01:32helps Jenny with chores.
01:33Meanwhile, a little farther down the road, Eddie and Miranda are talking when Wade suddenly
01:38appears beside their car, brandishing his gun.
01:41Terrified, Eddie speeds off, but Wade chases them and fires at the vehicle.
01:45One bullet strikes Eddie, causing a crash.
01:47Injured, he tells Miranda to run into the forest to save herself.
01:50With no choice, Miranda flees in panic among the trees.
01:54Wade walks back to Eddie, emptying his pistol into him until he's dead.
01:58Deep in the woods, Miranda staggers, unsure where to go.
02:01Back on the road, Wade relaxes in the car, eating a sandwich.
02:05He finds Eddie's phone, scrolls through photos of Jenny, and stares at her beauty with wicked
02:10intent.
02:10Then, using Eddie's phone, he sends a message to Jenny, so she'll think Eddie is reaching
02:15out.
02:15Meanwhile, the police arrive at the gas station, where Wade killed those three people.
02:20A witness tells them, a man suddenly appeared, shot three people, and left without a word.
02:25Now the police begin searching for this dangerous killer.
02:28Miranda has traveled deep into the jungle.
02:30Her phone has no signal, so she grows tired and sits down.
02:34But Wade tracks her down, appears suddenly, and offers help.
02:37Terrified, Miranda throws mud in his eyes and runs.
02:40She even tumbles down a slope, but she refuses to give up and presses on.
02:44Eventually, she reaches a spot with a weak signal.
02:47She calls the police and starts to explain what happened.
02:49But the call drops before she can finish.
02:52She then calls her mom, but Jenny doesn't answer.
02:54So Miranda leaves a voicemail.
02:56She tells her mother she's trapped in the jungle.
02:58A killer has murdered her dad, and there's no phone signal.
03:01Unsure what to do, she hangs up.
03:02Miranda presses forward until she reaches a riverbank, where she rinses her wounds in the
03:07water.
03:07Suddenly, a gunshot rings out.
03:09Wade is close.
03:10She bolts into the forest and hides.
03:12Nearby, two park rangers patrol the jungle.
03:15Wade appears and shoots them both dead.
03:16Now certain Miranda is close, he closes in.
03:19In the distance, Miranda hides behind a tree and calls 911 again.
03:23A killer with a gun is after me, she whispers.
03:25Then she dashes away before Wade notices.
03:28Meanwhile, officers reach Eddie's crashed car and find his body.
03:32They note the tire tracks match those at the gas station.
03:34They also see that one of Eddie's thumbs is missing and his phone is gone.
03:38They suspect the killer fled into the forest.
03:40Further along, Miranda stumbles into a boy named Todd.
03:43A killer is chasing me, she gasps.
03:45He killed my stepdad.
03:46We have to get out of here.
03:47Todd guides her to his parents' cabin.
03:49Miranda explained the danger, and they immediately called the police.
03:52But before help arrives, Wade storms in and shoots Todd's mother.
03:56Miranda screams and runs, and Wade methodically kills the rest of Todd's family.
04:00Miranda narrowly escapes once more.
04:02Back home, Jenny listens to Miranda's voicemail and panics.
04:05She plays it for Emily, and a police officer arrives.
04:08He informs them Eddie's body was found and brutally murdered.
04:11Jenny warns that her daughter is still in danger.
04:14The officer shows them the killer's sketch.
04:16Jenny and Emily have never seen him.
04:18He promises, we'll find him soon.
04:20Until we locate Miranda, one of you must come to the station, he says.
04:23Emily volunteers and leaves with the officer, while Jenny remains alone in the house.
04:28After this, Jenny checks her messages and realizes the person who texted her is the killer himself.
04:33Wade still has Eddie's phone.
04:35Alarmed, she calls the number.
04:37In the forest, Wade sits alone, eating.
04:40After slaughtering Todd's family, his phone rings.
04:43He ignores it at first, but when Jenny calls repeatedly, he finally answers without speaking.
04:48Jenny pleads, why are you doing this?
04:50You killed my husband, and now you're after my daughter.
04:53Please leave her alone, she's so young.
04:55Whatever you want, we'll do it.
04:56Wade listens in silence.
04:58Nearby, Miranda turns on her phone's location services.
05:01She sees her dad's phone signal close by.
05:03Wade must have it.
05:04So she moves toward him.
05:05Back home, Jenny, tears in her eyes, continues to reason with Wade on the call.
05:10You don't seem like a real killer.
05:12Maybe you don't want to hurt my daughter.
05:14Please stop.
05:15Suddenly, Miranda sneaks up behind Wade, snatches his bag, and runs.
05:19Wade ends the call, and notices his phone's location is on.
05:23Furious, he dials Jenny again.
05:25You think you're playing games?
05:26Now your daughter will die.
05:27He hangs up.
05:28Jenny sobs and begs him to spare Miranda, but the line is already dead.
05:32Jenny immediately calls the police.
05:34I just spoke to the killer.
05:35He has Eddie's phone.
05:36Please track my daughter's signal right away.
05:38The dispatcher assures her they're on it.
05:40In the forest, Miranda perches on a rock with no signal.
05:43She calls her mother again.
05:45I'm stuck.
05:46I don't know what to do.
05:47Jenny calms her.
05:48Don't panic.
05:48Hide.
05:49Conserve your battery.
05:50Police are tracking your phone.
05:51Suddenly, Miranda's phone dies.
05:53Jenny frantically searches the killer's name online and learns he's Wade Bennett, a former
05:58student coach.
05:59Deep in the woods, Miranda finds Todd, wounded by the gunshot.
06:02He explains how he escaped, and they move to a safer spot.
06:06Todd rummages in his mother's bag and finds a chocolate bar.
06:09They share it.
06:09He comforts Miranda.
06:11We're safe for now.
06:11I used to camp here with my parents.
06:13There's probably a ranger station or a small shop nearby, but it's too dark to look tonight.
06:17Let's rest until morning.
06:19They settle down to sleep.
06:20Meanwhile, back home, Emily grows impatient with the slow-moving police and enlists friends
06:25to search the forest.
06:26They discover Miranda's locket near the old camping site, Todd's parents' former spot,
06:30and then stumble on the bodies of Todd's mom and dad.
06:33At the police station, officers learn that in addition to Wade's murders at the gas station
06:37and Eddie's death, he's also killed two park rangers.
06:40Now, the story shifts back to Jenny, who's still watching Wade's videos on her laptop.
06:44We learn about his past and how he became a psychopath.
06:47One day, after class, Wade drove home and saw a bike parked outside.
06:51Inside his house, he found two half-full glasses of alcohol and a stranger's jacket.
06:56He immediately suspected his wife of having an affair.
06:58In the jacket pocket, he discovered a gun.
07:01Enraged, he stormed into the basement and shot his wife and her lover dead.
07:04As he climbed back up, a neighbor confronted him angrily.
07:07Your strange friends come here every day and blast loud music.
07:11I'm calling the police.
07:12Without hesitation, Wade shot her, then stole the lover's bike and rode off.
07:16This murder spree was born of his wife's betrayal, and he'd never been the same since.
07:21Now the story returns to the present morning.
07:23Miranda wakes, calls for Todd, but he doesn't stir.
07:26Horrified, she realizes he's dead.
07:28She's overwhelmed with grief and powerless to help.
07:31Desperately, she hangs Jenny's bag on a high branch so rescuers can spot it from a distance.
07:36Suddenly, a panic attack hits.
07:38Dizzy and frightened, she starts hallucinating.
07:40First, her real father, who took his own life.
07:43Then her injured stepfather yelling for her to run.
07:45Terrified, Miranda flees.
07:47At the police station, officers tell Emily that Miranda's last phone ping came from the east side of the forest.
07:53Emily and her friends immediately set off with the rescue team to that area.
07:57Meanwhile, Miranda snaps out of her hallucination and limps away.
08:01She scales a tall tree, recalling Todd's camping stories, to spot any sign of help.
08:06From the treetop, she sees a small shop in the distance.
08:09Hope surging, she climbs down and sprints toward it.
08:12At that moment, Emily, her friends, and the police arrive at the same shop, mapping their search.
08:18Suddenly, a voice rings out.
08:20Help me!
08:20Miranda burst from the trees, racing toward them.
08:23The police feared the killer might still be following Miranda, so everyone stayed on high alert.
08:28However, it turned out the person trailing her was a police officer who had been searching for her.
08:33Emily spotted Miranda, ran forward, and hugged her tightly.
08:37Miranda was finally safe.
08:38Meanwhile, back at home, Jenny heard the doorbell.
08:41When she opened the door, she froze in terror.
08:43Wade stood there.
08:44He forced her inside at gunpoint, then called Emily from Jenny's phone, claiming,
08:49Jenny's in labor.
08:50Come home at once.
08:51Worried, Emily hurried back with Miranda, unaware that Wade was already inside.
08:55As soon as they walked in, Wade held them at gunpoint.
08:58I've killed many people, he sneered.
09:01It only takes seconds to kill three more.
09:03He grabbed each of their hands and prayed like a madman, praising God that he'd survived all his violence and now had three beautiful women captive.
09:11While Wade poured drinks, Miranda secretly drew a knife from her pocket.
09:16Wade watched her and said,
09:17You remind me of my unfaithful wife, the reason I became this ruthless psycho.
09:22Enraged, Miranda lunged and slashed his palm.
09:25All three women attacked him together, but Wade was powerful.
09:29He threw Emily and Miranda aside and shoved Jenny into a wall.
09:32As Wade raised his own knife to strike Miranda, Jenny found a hidden gun and aimed it at him.
09:38He hesitated, thinking she wouldn't shoot.
09:39In that moment, Jenny pulled the trigger.
09:42Wade collapsed, dead.
09:43In the aftermath, Emily sat quietly, missing her father.
09:47Miranda ran over and hugged her mother.
09:49I love you, she said.
09:50Emily joined them, and the three embraced, tears flowing.
09:53Suddenly Jenny cried out in labor pains.
09:56Her daughters helped her into the car, racing to the hospital.
