Just listen, um, that's right.
(Akeem mumbling)
(both giggling)
I feel that, you feel me?
(TV blaring)
Damn nigga, can you keep it down?
I'm watching a hair tutorial
and I'm on the phone.
My bad, Summer.
Well, put your headphones on, shit.
You see us here watching movies.
(scoffs) Girl, and I
wouldn't even take him serious.
He bring a different
girl over every Friday.
Summer.
Can you go to the back of the room?
(TV sounds in the background)
Is this true?
Nah, she just bluffing.
She ain't got no dude,
so she want to come messing-
- [Jacob] And he be tripping sometimes,
but you know, I still like
going to his class every day.
Bro, I'm watching a movie, bro.
Can you take that somewhere else?
Hold on.
Hey, man, bro I live here too.
[Akeem] (whispers) Goddamn.
You don't live here alone, my man.
Are all them my snacks out my cabinet?
Oh, you serious, bro?
Yeah, those my snacks? I paid for those.
That's what we gonna
talk about right now?
Those are mine.
For real?
Yeah, bro, those are my snacks.
Ooh, snacks?
Excuse me.
(gasps) Shit, this is my movie.
Can we start it over, pretty please?
It's fine, I got it.
Oh, hell nah.
Huh-uh, here, come here.
Come with me real quick.
[Jacob] Excuse me.
(TV sounds in background)
Hey, what's up?
These my favorite snack.
Oh, you want some?
They aint the best though,
you could've done better.
(muffled TV chatter)
What's wrong with him?
Oh, I mean well,
because he was watching my favorite movie
and I came and asked politely-
- So I guess your little
date didn't go so well.
Probably 'cause of these
whack-ass snacks he bought.
I bought these snacks.
I'm sorry, the whack-ass
snacks he bought.
(both laughing)
- Hey, pass me some.
- Look at you.
Bye, girl.
Ew, gross.
Why are all of y'all together?
This is weird.
Hey Jade, we were just
about to put another movie on.
Scoot over.
- [Jade] Yeah.
- Come sit by me.
Uh-huh, thank you. (giggling)
Uh, maybe she should
go to your little room.
- Mm.
- Don't you think?
Yeah?
You know what?
Maybe I will join.
Scoot over, Jacob.
Great, you better not.
Hey guys, so check this out.
Nobody even asked you.
Anyways, so listen, y'all know me,
I just came into some money, right?
So I'm thinking maybe
we can take a little hiking trip.
What y'all think about that?
- Hiking.
- [Akeem] I'm just saying
Boy I don't even like nature like that.
Hiking where?
All right, check me out, Summer.
Somewhere, you know, a few miles north.
So you're telling me you want me
to get this some amazing
skin touched by sunlight?
I already glow, Akeem.
How much more radiance
do you want from me?
[Akeem] Look, I say we leave
early in the morning, right?
We can bring some food, we
can make some pit stops.
We can enjoy the nature, enjoy the road.
Cool?
You know I'm kind of
open to that, Akeem.
My sorority's have been telling me
to get away for a moment anyways,
they see how busy I've been.
Yes you have.
I mean I can use a mini vacation
if she's in, I'm in.
Right.
(hand clapping)
But you still haven't
told us where though.
So that means I have like
cancel my date for tomorrow
and I was ready to look cute too.
And he's coming from out of town.
Some of us, I guess he's gonna have
to just wait out of town, okay?
Look, the place is called
Palicon Mountain, all right.
I already looked it up.
I mean, it's cool little spot.
It's a little duck off, but it's nice.
I mean, you can go over there.
I mean, we can get campfires.
We tell ghost stories.
[All] Ghost stories?
Hell no!
Hell no, ghost stories, Akeem?
This is not Unsolved
Mysteries or Goosebumps.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let's hear Akeem out.
I mean this might be a
good place after all.
I just hope it look like this in person.
Well I guess I'm down.
But you don't even know
nothing about this place.
And then you choose this
trail out of all of them.
Like out of everyone?
Fuck it.
We better have the time of our lives.
(all clapping)
Bet, say less.
Alright, check this out.
So since on that note,
I say we start it off,
I drive, we can leave
early in the morning.
Maybe around like around like,
nine-ish, you can pack up.
We can make it a day trip too, right?
Come back before Sunday
just so we can rest for school Monday.
You wanna cancel your date?
Sure.
- I mean.
- Deal?
- I guess so.
- Deal? - Yeah.
Yay, we goin' on a road trip.
Hey guys, so we down?
I'm out. See you later, okay.
Night.
Guys, can y'all hurry your ass up?
Come on.
Guys, can you hurry your ass up?
Come on. It's almost time to go.
Goddamn.
Come on.
Gimme your backpack.
I'm okay, thank you.
(indistinct chatter)
Well first off, I want to get away
and I thought I desired for
my roommates to come, right?
I thought it would be a beautiful place
since we never, you know,
none of us never been there before.
Yeah, as long as we can
be back by Sunday morning.
I do have an online assessment.
You should have did that last night
instead of stuffing your flat ass.
(Jacob and Summer laugh)
Shut up, Jacob.
Hey, I'm just saying.
I thought she was tap dancing.
- But, uh, Akeem?
- What's up.
Where are we stopping
to get something to eat
on this little nature journey of yours?
Well I seen this place called Light Way.
The GPS took me there.
Then, I think it's a diner.
There's a diner, we can stop there too.
Matter of fact, if you guys
gotta use the restroom,
we can do that there.
Can you guys come on, asking
all these damn questions.
Please.
Naomi, come on.
(upbeat music)
Road trip, whoo.
(upbeat music continues)
(upbeat music continues)
Why do you even have to stop?
Hey, Akeem?
Ain't we gonna wake their bum ass up?
Bro, just let them sleep
from crying out loud, bro.
After you, Jade.
(lights buzzing)
(bell on door rings)
Ugh, get off of me, Jacob.
My bad.
Ugh. Are we still eating here?
I don't know.
It do look kinda empty.
Whatever. I gotta pee.
Hey, maybe ask the
lady at the front desk
you know, about the hiking trail.
You know, maybe I can go
ask a couple questions
while Jade's finishing using the restroom.
Go. Go ahead.
All right.
Excuse me. How you doing ma'am?
How can I help you sir?
We're from out of town,
we wanted to know if you know anything
about this place called Palico?
Palico Mountain?
Shh.
Don't you mention
that place around here.
We don't want no parts of it.
Okay.
Now, what you going to do.
Whatever it is that you got to do.
What's gonna happen to you.
Go on home how.
Yes ma'am.
Get from around here.
Get.
Are we still eating here?
No, let's go.
Get.
(bell on door rings)
Oh, my God.
Bro, just take me
back to the school, man.
Just take me back to the school.
What happened?
Man, you didn't hear that lady in there?
You didn't hear her?
What?
She said something like
get from here. Get from here.
(Akeem laughs)
I don't want no parts of
what? See you laughing.
That's not funny man.
You really scared, bro.
Listen, we out of town, bro.
You know how people
act when we outta town.
I never been outta town.
Well that's your fault.
Listen.
(Akeem mumbles)
Jacob.
I really would like to go.
Okay, since you put it like that.
Oh, for real?
That's what we doing? (laughs)
(rap music)
Oh, snap.
Guys, listen.
Regardless of what we talking about.
Yeah, this looks good, bro.
All right, so look...
it looks crazy.
So we gonna set up the
campfire, all right?
And then we can set up the tent
and then we can go on
the hiking trail, right?
- Okay.
- How that sound?
Like a plan.
Sure.
Okay.
Cool?
- Yeah.
- Alright good.
Wait, so how about we just
leave our cell phones in the car
so we can really enjoy each other's time,
for real, for real.
Oh, hell nah. Hell no, man.
My mom might call, bro.
She needs to know where
I'm at, bro, you trippin'.
Yeah, I mean, well, I mean to be honest,
we don't have service up here anyways.
Look, let's just get the
camp set up and see what's up.
You know it's gonna be getting dark soon.
- [Jade] Okay, Yeah,
- [Jacob] Let's hurry up.
It's beautiful, ain't it?
Yeah, I'm glad I'm here.
Seems so peaceful.
Peaceful just like you.
Boy.
Uh, maybe we can do this more often.
You know, just me and you, maybe?
Um, you wanna go see what they up to?
Yeah, we can. We can. We
can go see what they up to.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
(upbeat music continues)
Hey.
Whoa.
[Jacob] Look, y'all stay together
because I don't got time
to be lookin' for nobody
and I don't feel like running.
[Jade] Oh, my God, no
more scary movies for you.
(everyone giggling)
And Naomi, bring your big fat ass on.
Man, she can sleep anywhere, can't she?
Hey, grab the water.
(Jade laughing)
(crickets chirping)
(Akeem laughing)
[Summer] I think we lost.
Wait up.
Wait.
(crickets chirping)
(Akeem laughing)
(indistinct chattering)
(girls laughing)
And then remember
them whack ass? (laughs)
It's ninja.
Okay, listen, listen.
So this leads to Grey Star Hill, okay?
I figured you guys would
like that, all right?
But, mind you, watch for the rocks.
Oh.
Seriously, watch out for the rocks.
And watch out for them spiders.
Snakes and spiders?
Oh, don't play with me.
Snakes and spiders.
Can we leave?
What's the quickest way?
Uh, there's a fucking
spider on your back.
Give it off. Get it off.
Jacob, God.
Hold on, I got it. I got it. I got it.
You know, Jade.
Okay.
He's sure right.
You play too damn much.
And I can even play with
y'all being this damn jungle.
I almost busted my ass.
(everyone laughing)
I can't stand y'all, I swear.
(everyone laughing)
We gotta keep going.
We gotta keep going. Come on.
Talk about a way to sober up.
(intense ominous music)
Akeem?
How? How you deal with
having a female roommate?
If they fine.
If they fine?
Wait a minute, my boyfriend
would not like this.
Summer, you ain't got no boyfriend.
You for the fuckin' streets.
Jacob.
Hey.
[Akeem] Well, if
anything, they ain't here.
[Jacob] Ain't no man,
probably a sugar daddy.
[Summer] Don't worry about it.
Just 'cause he got money.
Why are we whispering?
We're in the woods.
(whispering) I don't know.
Look at that.
My gosh.
This looks so cool.
Let's go see what's over there.
(Jade and Naomi laughing)
(crickets chirping)
Hey wait, where did Naomi and Jade go?
Naomi.
Jade.
Naomi.
Jade.
Naomi.
Jade.
Shh. Do you hear that?
Naomi.
I think they're calling our names.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Naomi, what if we get lost on this trail?
I have to get back. I have
to finish my assignment.
I have to go to formal.
And I really have to pee.
Jade,
we are lost.
Okay.
It is not the time
to worry about a dance.
Okay.
I don't know why I let
you choose this way. Damn.
It's dark.
We don't even have our phones either.
[Jade] I just thought we were bonding.
(crickets chirping)
(leaves rustling)
Okay, I'm starting to
get really worried, now.
I don't have any more water.
- Neither do I.
- Okay.
Girl, we have passed this tree
at least three times already.
No.
Yes.
Jacob.
Akeem.
(Jade screams)
(Naomi screams)
[Summer] They couldn't
have gone too far.
Maybe we should try to
back trace our steps.
What? Back trace our steps?
We done went too far into this trail.
And when I look it up on
the way here, it said,
this is one of the largest
trails in the city.
You know where we came man?
It looks like we're
going in circles, fuck.
(Naomi screaming)
(leaves rustling)
(ominous music)
(leaves rustling)
(whispering) Help me,
please. Please, help me.
(Naomi screams)
Whoa, I think I heard another step.
I think I hear that too.
[Jacob And Akeem] Oh, shit.
Oh, my glasses.
(ominous music)
(leaves rustling)
Oh, shit.
Fuck. Shit.
[Summer] Akeem.
Shit.
Akeem?
Jacob?
(ominous music)
Akeem?
Akeem?
Akeem?
(Summer screams)
(Summer breathing heavily)
Akeem, I'm scared as hell.
Stop. Calm down.
Jacob.
(Summer whimpering)
Listen, calm down, all right.
Calm down.
Listen, I don't know what
the fuck that was, all right.
But nothing's gonna
happen to you, all right.
We're gonna get the hell
up outta here. Alright?
All right, Jacob can handle himself.
Listen, stop. Shut up.
(ominous music)
(truck tailgate shuts)
(leaves rustling)
I see a light over there.
It looks like a house.
Maybe they'll let us...
Listen, listen, listen,
Maybe they'll let us use their phone.
Akeem, you think it's
a house over there,
deep in the woods like that?
Listen, what choice do we got?
We need help.
Okay, let's go.
Come on.
Come on.
(footsteps)
(creepy somber music)
(creepy somber music continues)
(creek outside)
(ominous music)
[Jacob] Akeem.
Akeem.
(Jade whines)
Akeem.
(Jacob yells)
[Summer] Who did this to y'all?
Who did this to y'all?
Go upstairs. Go upstairs.
Hey, come on, man. That's tight.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The fuck?
Get down here.
(Naomi and Summer whimpering)
You guys think you could
just come through my neck of the woods
and trespass on my property?
[Jacob] Sir, we were just
walking, passing through.
Passing through, huh?
I saw your stuff by the campfire
that I built for my son many years ago.
That belongs to us.
You can't stay there.
(whimpering) Your son?
Yes bitch, my son.
A three letter word.
Did I fuckin' stutter?
He died in those woods five years ago.
He accidentally shot himself
while we were hunting.
That's not a stick.
What is it?
(child laughs)
Do you not see me trying to hunt?
Would you stop? Shh.
Dad, I'm hungry.
Do you know how to get
to the survival bag I got?
- Yes sir.
- Go ahead then.
(suspenseful music)
(gun fires)
Shit.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Allen.
Oh, come on.
No, no, no.
Man, get up, man.
Come on man. No, no.
(somber music)
(whimpering) Please, come on man.
I need you to get up.
Somebody help.
(man crying)
My family? I love my family.
(somber music continues)
My son.
My wife.
(mumbling desperately)
Why did you leave me?
I needed you.
(whimpering) I needed you.
Why did you leave me, too?
Now I'm alone.
(somber music continues)
Yeah.
Akeem,
you should just really be quiet.
(ominous music)
(Jade screams)
(Naomi and Summer crying)
Shut up.
Shut up, before I shoot this
bitches fuckin' head off.
Oh, hell nah, man. Take
me instead of her, man.
You know what?
Maybe I'll just do that.
Since you wanted me to
take you so fuckin' bad...
(Naomi screams)
(gun fires three times)
(Akeem grunts)
(Naomi screams)
(intense music)
[Jacob] Jade, move.
[Summer] Oh, my God,
Naomi. We can't leave her.
We gotta go, come on.
(Yells) You little motherfuckers.
I promise I'm gonna kill you.
(creepy music)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(phone buzzing)
(creepy music continues)
Your Honor.
I would like to request for a recess.
There's an unknown number
calling me continuously
and it just may be the star
witness that I'm awaiting.
I just request a five minute recess.
Your Honor, we are in the
middle of a proceeding.
I'm sure her call can wait
until the end of this case.
Your Honor, respectfully, it
will only take five minutes.
In light of the situation
and the time of night,
we will take five minute recess.
(creepy music continues)
[Message Service] You
have one unheard message.
[Naomi] Mom, the phone's about to die.
I need you to come and get
me. I'm in the mountains.
I can't remember the name.
I think it's pa-
(phone cuts off)
Excuse me, Your Honor,
I would like to request a continuation
in lieu of an emergency.
(judge pounds gavel)
Hello? 9-1-1, I need you come quick.
My daughter's missing. (breathing heavy)
(Summer breathing heavy)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues)
(hurried mumbling)
We gotta get out of here.
Wait, what?
November 9th, 2017.
Accidental death.
Good behavior, mental institution.
Oh, my God.
It's Allen.
(ominous music)
Your Honor,
no young man should die by
the negligence of a parent.
He can't even have a family now.
The defense attorney
will have you to believe
that this was just some
kind of weird accident
or a rogue mistake by a child.
But that's a false narrative,
because we as parents are
responsible for the love,
the care and the protection of our child.
Of which this unfit father,
Allen Jenkins Sr.
Didn't do such a good job of that
resulted in the unnecessary death
of Allen Jenkins Jr.
So I suppose this to the audience.
What would you do if this was your son?
The place that filled so much love and joy
is now a void of sorrow.
Something has to be done.
Justice has to be served.
I rest my case, Your Honor.
(judge sighs)
On today, November 9th, 2017
in the state versus Allen Jenkins Sr.
I find the defendant guilty
(people cheer)
(somber music)
of manslaughter in the second degree.
[Allen's Mother] It was an
accident. It was an accident.
And one count of child endangerment.
[Allen's Mom] No, no.
I sentence you to five years
in the Texas Department of Corrections.
This hearing is adjourned.
(judge slams gavel)
[Allen's Mom] No.
(whimpering) It was just an accident.
I lose my grand baby and now my baby.
Not my baby.
Oh, my God. Not my baby. (crying)
(gentle music)
(camera clicks)
(camera clicks)
(camera clicks)
(camera clicks)
(camera clicks)
(cell bars clatter closed)
(gentle music continues)
(Allen whimpering)
[Child's Voice] Can I have a hug?
Wait, Allen.
Don't go son, I got the food.
Don't go, please. I got it, I got it.
Don't go, Allen, don't go.
(whispering) I'm not guilty.
I'm not guilty.
(Allen whimpering)
Allen don't go.
Just lay down.
(gentle music continues)
No, no, no, no, no.
Allen.
Allen.
No, I didn't do it.
I didn't.
(gentle music continues)
Allen.
No, no, no, no, no.
(Allen breathing heavily)
I promise you, Allen.
[Dispatcher] 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?
Hello?
Yes.
[Dispatcher] Yes ma'am. How can I help-
- I believe I'm headed to Palico Mountain.
[Dispatcher] Palico Mountain?
My daughter called,
left me a message saying
that she didn't wanna die.
[Dispatcher] Can you confirm
that's the location, ma'am?
She tried to pronounce the name
and I, I put two and two together
and that's what I've got.
- [Dispatcher] Hello?
- Hello? Can you hear me?
[Dispatcher] Yes. That's location?
Yes.
I had a case about five years ago
about a man whose son
died in those mountains
and supposedly they're on the same trail.
His son died and I was
the attorney on that case.
(ominous music)
(leaves rustling)
[Jacob] What? A car.
A car.
(panicked chattering)
(heartbeat thudding)
[Summer] Figure it out.
Man, there ain't no fucking keys.
Fuck.
There's some dirty ass
water bottles in here, man.
What the fuck, man?
[Summer] What the hell is going on?
[Akeem] What is this?
What the fuck we gonna do?
Calm down. Calm down.
(everyone yelling)
Jade, what the fuck.
Jade.
Shit.
I'm not fucking going after her, man.
What the fuck we going to do?
[Summer] Go, we gotta go.
Okay.
[Summer] Fuck Jade.
No, we gotta get Jade.
(Jade screaming)
(dramatic music)
(Jade's neck snaps)
(dramatic music continues)
We gotta get Jade.
Oh, shit.
(ominous music)
[Police Radio] 4-82.
11-07, 10.
Yes sir, and they have the car stopped
off of 10th and Grand,
would you mind going by there first.
Yeah, okay. 3-23 to 5-84.
Wait.
Wait, please.
Okay.
Right there.
[Police Radio] 10th and
Grant, waiting for a tow.
[Officer] She's hurt.
[Police Radio] Where's your tow,
nobody's ordered one yet.
[Naomi] Please help me.
Please, there's a man chasing after them.
Okay, okay.
He's chasing after us.
Okay. Okay. Do you
need medical attention?
No, it's just a graze.
You have to go find them.
Okay? I will, I will.
I'll go find your friends.
Can you please point me in the direction?
Yes.
You just gotta hurry up, please.
Okay. Okay.
Officer Simmons, please
take care of this woman.
Please take care of all the information
and get everything you need
so we can figure out
what's going on, okay?
- Okay.
- I'll see you later.
- Alright.
- Alright.
Please help them.
That's what we're here to do.
So ma'am, you said there was a gentleman
that was chasing in the woods?
Yes.
Yes.
Which direction did he come from?
I don't know.
(heartbeat thudding)
Okay. How many of your
friends went missing?
(crying) There's four of us.
(heartbeat thudding)
Okay.
What are you doing? Please go find them.
We're just trying to
get some information
so we can help solve this
as quickly as possible.
(heartbeat thudding)
(crickets chirping)
(heartbeat thudding continues)
(creepy energetic music)
I gotta get this motherfucker.
[Officer Simmons] The
last time you saw him?
I don't know.
Oh, my God, mom.
What are doing out here?
And why did you tell me
you were going outta town?
Mom, it is not the time.
My friends are still out there.
It's okay.
(women crying)
[Naomi] Thank you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I don't know who you are,
but I'm glad you're here.
Okay. Okay. Calm down. Calm down.
Where is he? Where is he?
(Summer screams)
(gun fires)
What the fuck?
Fuck.
(ominous music)
If you know what's best for
you, you'll stand right there.
'Cause if you run, I'll shoot you dead.
Okay.
This hide and go seek shit
has went on long enough.
(whispering) If anything
happens, I'll was just run.
Man, why you trying to torture us, bitch?
You already killed our friends
and ruined our futures.
You know what? You just gonna wind up dead
like the rest of your punk ass family.
You know what? I hope your
bitch ass burn in hell.
Well, if I burn, so
will you, little nigga.
(gun fires)
(gun fires two shots)
And now for the grand finale.
I told you nobody lives that
comes through these woods,
but you decided to run, hide,
and make me hunt you down.
That was the wrong answer.
We, we, we, sorry, but what
happened to your wife and kid.
We, we're, we're so sorry. Okay.
Listen, it was, it was an accident, right?
It it was an accident. Okay?
It wasn't supposed to happen.
They weren't even supposed to blame you.
Look, look, I, I, look,
I'll tell you what,
how about we forget about all this, right?
It'll be all of the secret.
Promise you, I promise.
Do you think I was
fuckin' born yesterday?
Wait, hold on, hold
on, hold on, hold on.
You gotta be outta your rabid ass mind
if you think I'm gonna let you
fuck with my head like that.
You know what? I'll make a deal with you.
Matter of fact, let's play a little game.
The first one of you
that can remember the
date of my son's death,
I'll let you live.
But only the one who guesses first.
Fuck, what kind of game is that?
That you'll live.
Let the games begin.
Okay? Hold on. Wait.
One second.
Maybe I don't, I don't, I don't know.
(gun fires)
The day was August 6th,
you fucking psychopath.
All you had to do was
take your damn medicine.
You sick son of a bitch.
(heavy exhale)
Mom.
Naomi?
[Summer] Naomi?
I thought you were dead.
Okay, come on kids.
Let's get out of here.
I'll call you back.
Look ma'am, I turned
my back for one second
to call her back up and she runs off.
I understand.
Did you see Detective
Phillips out there?
He's, he's dead.
What?
That monster. He's dead.
That monster killed him
and two of my friends.
Okay, calm down.
Kids go to the car.
Come on.
Okay, what's going on?
Look, detective, I killed
that sick bastard, okay.
And if you wanna find his body,
it's in the middle of the trail
next to the detective and Jacob.
You what?
This is already a crime scene.
You take this damn card and
you can contact me afterwards.
But me and the kids,
we are getting the fuck outta here, okay.
Okay, but I don't
need a district attorney
eliminating suspects in the crime scene.
You made matters worse.
I didn't even think that was possible.
(car whooshes passed)
Dispatch, this is Detective Simmons.
I need all emergency units
dispatched to Palico Mountain.
I have potential two deceased males
and additional two college students.
Please send all available units
immediately to Palico Mountain.
(phone line beeps)
(crickets chirp)
(R&B music)
And Reported, now on
ten at Palico Mountain,

and two unnamed adults
are-
- Wait, I was just with him.
(news reporting in background)
Wait, what?
I was just with Akeem.
You was just with him?
Then what am I here for?
Whatever, Ty. It's complicated.
Complicated?
I don't get it.
Hey, listen, I'm gonna
need you to leave, okay?
I'm a ball player, I
can have any girl I want.
Okay, then. Bye, nigga.
Get your ass out.
(R&B music continues)
(water running)
(fists bang on the wall)
(Naomi screams)
(leaves rustle)
No.
It's okay, baby.
Mama got you. It's just a dream.
(Naomi whimpers)
I won't let anything happen to you, okay.
It's okay.
(doorbell rings)
How do you really feel, Akeem?
Listen, I'm, I'm fine, aight.
I just wanted to take a small vacation.
Look, we was on the road
just, just a few hours
and we, we stopped at this...
some diner...
some, some raggedy diner
and Jacob
he saw this woman.
He was like acting so
scared when he seen her
like very, very scared.
He was like, he was like,
like frozen or something.
Jacob? Jacob was scared.
What did she say?
I heard her say...
Don't you say that name.
We don't want no parts of it.
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha 'bout to do-
- She, she tried to warn us.
She, she did really try to warn us.
Get on outta here.
Jacob. Jacob, Jacob told us,
Jacob told us to turn around.
(Bell on door rings)
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
What's she talking about?
Just take me back to the school, man.
Just take me back to the school.
What happened?
Man, you didn't hear that lady in there?
You didn't hear her?
What?
She said somethin' like,
get from here, get from here.
(Akeem laughs)
I don't want no parts of what's happenin'.
See you laughin'.
That's not funny.
We laughed at him.
We really just laughed at him.
Yeah.
And now he... it's my
fault that he's dead.
Akeem, Akeem you can't blame yourself.
You can't blame yourself for that.
It's my fault. It's my fault.
It's my fault. It's my fault.
Akeem, you can't
blame yourself for that.
I know, I know.
If you could have saved
him, you would've, but
you can't hold onto this forever.
I'm so sorry. I'm so... it's
my fault. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
(gentle somber music)
I still can't believe
Jacob and Jade are dead.
It still feel like a nightmare to me.
Yeah.
So now look, but we, we gotta
forget about that, all right.
Look, we still got school,
we still got sports.
You know?
Look, we gotta live for them and us.
It is your damn fault.
How could you fix your mouth to say that?
We were there because of you?
And you say forget everything. Right?
Like, forget Jade?
Forget Jacob?
You ain't shit.
I didn't know.
You think I was supposed to know
some murderer was up
there in the woods, huh?
Huh?
You think I knew this beforehand?
I mean, Akeem, but what if you did?
How is it that we're all still alive,
but Jade and Jacob are dead, huh?
I mean, you never liked Jacob anyway.
You outta all people.
Did I not protect you the
whole time I was up there?
Right?
Did I not?
Aren't you the one who said fuck them?
That is enough.
I've heard enough of y'all's nonsense.
Allen was still supposed to be locked up.
Y'all are even lucky you survived.
Now I'm about to go, but I love y'all.
Now you come walk me out little girl.
Yes ma'am.
(rhythmic music)
(rhythmic music continues)
(rhythmic music continues)
(rhythmic music continues)
(ominous music)
(Naomi screams)
(Naomi whimpers)
(Naomi exhales)
He is dead, he can't hurt you anymore.
So get ready for school.
(Naomi exhales)
(Naomi inhales deeply)
(Naomi exhales)
(Naomi sniffles)
(gentle music)
I had a dream last night.
A dream about what?
It was like we were
literally back there.
I can't explain it, but
I don't think he's dead.
What do you mean?
Why would you say that?
We witnessed your mom shoot him.
Yes, but did we actually
witness him dying?
We should have stayed and watched him die.
We don't know if he was
cremated or where he was buried.
He killed our friends.
Naomi, I'm starting to
think you like this a lot.
You think he's still alive? That's crazy.
We literally watched
him fall to the ground.
We seen him die.
I can't, can you just listen for once?
Hear Naomi out for crying out loud.
Thank you.
Listen, he said nobody
makes it out of here alive.
We haven't heard any news
on where he was buried
or if he was cremated.
I dreamed about that fucker last night
and I don't know about you Akeem,
but I'm gonna play it wise.
You know what?
I'm starting to think you like
this a little bit too much.
You entertaining it like crazy.
Let it die.
Let him die.
Jade and Jacob is dead,
get that in your skull.
They're dead.
And I'm not gonna sit here
with you guys every day
and watch you talk about this.
You know, I heard you talk to April
about this the other night.
You said you saw the lady at
the diner facial expression
as if we weren't supposed
to be there or something.
But like normal, everything
has to go Akeem way
or the highway.
I'm gonna try to let this
go, but maybe Naomi's right.
(gentle music continues)
(doorbell rings)
There's somebody at the door. I'll get it.
So guys, I'm gonna ask
you a few questions, okay?
We want your story because we
know that this can be a lot.
And we feel that you need to express.
Cameraman, you ready?
Yep, I'm ready.
So, hello, beautiful young lady.
Can you tell me your name and your major?
Hi, I'm Summer Heskins
and I study broadcast.
So, Summer, what happened at Palico?
(clears throat) Look, I just remember
us all going to have a good time
and we were talking and laughing.
And at first we were very indecisive
and then we had a change of heart.
What do you mean a change of heart?
Look, I, I can't talk about
this. I have to get to class.
Wow. Okay, cut.
(clears throat) Um, Akeem, you ready?
Wow, this is perfect.
I mean, this story's gonna get
shown around campus for sure.
Thank you, guys.
Josh, will you shut up?
I just need you to hold the
camera and shoot. That's it.
Now, back to what I asked.
Yeah, I'm ready.
So you're captain of the track team?
You talked to any of your
teammates since the incident?
No, not, not, not really.
Hm, from what I heard,
you have two roommates dead
because you chose this place.
Is that true?
No, no, no. listen,
I tried, I tried to save them, all right.
I did.
But, but, but it was too late.
Listen, y'all can't hold
that against me, all right.
I, I didn't do nothing, okay.
I didn't do nothing.
Well, I think that is
all we need for today.
I will go through the
process of making this edit
and we look forward to seeing you
back to normal soon.
Take care.
(Naomi exhales)

Oh, shit.
I mean, whose house even is this?
It's my uncle and aunt house.
They out town right now,
so they say we, you know,

Oh, my gosh.

(door shuts)
(TV blares)
(R&B music)
Summer.
Summer.
Yes, Naomi?
I miss them.
I miss them too.
I keep replaying that night in my head.
That monster's face is burned in my brain.
I'm just so thankful Akeem's
family let us stay here
for a few nights because in my house,
it's just become so unbearable.
Yeah, and I've been
having to take medicine
just to sleep at night.
I'm just thankful that we're here
so we don't at least
have to even feel like
we're being watched.
Like...
what if that was us?
What if it was us?
(R&B music continues)
Feet be in the pavement
Peddle to the metal
My quest I'm on a journey
You're my distillation
We gonna start a nation
Where that girl at?
(R&B music fades)
(TV blares in background)
(Akeem mumbles)
(knock on door)
It's open.
(Akeem laughs)
Yo, it's open.
(whispers) Why she want to play?
She always tryin' to play.
(ominous music)
She should've just let me
come outside the first time.
What the fuck?
April?
Oh, shit.
April, fuck.
Summer. Naomi.
Shit.
Summer, Naomi, wake up.
Summer, Naomi, April's dead.
[Summer] What?
Come on, hurry the fuck up.
April's dead, come on.
(ominous music continues)
Shit.
What the fuck?
Shit.
(Summer screams)
. [Summer] What the fuck?
What the fuck you doin' here?
So you guys thought this
shit would be that easy, huh?
You thought I was dead?
Yeah, your mother, she did shoot me,
but it was just a graze.
Shit.
Fuck.
As soon as I opened my eyes,
I killed that fuckin' pig too.
I laid low, watchin'.
And thanks to your mom's cards
and your shitty interview,
well let's just say a
promise is a fuckin' promise.
My mother's on the way here.
And guess what?
This time she won't miss.
(laughs) You mean this attorney bitch?
(Summer cries)
(Naomi screams)
Fuck.
Fuck you.
Fuck me?
No, she fucked over me and my son first.
And now it's y'all's turn.
She wanted me gone. (laughs)
I guess your mommy's
still fuckin' up, huh?
Man, you got us fucked
up. You got us fucked up.
You killed my fuckin' lady.
You killed my friends.
Nah, you got us fucked up.
You got us fucked up.
(intense music)
(Naomi and Summer crying)
Fuck it.
(glass shatters)
Violet?
Hey, hey, hey, listen.
I found Akeem's uncle's address.
(intense music continues)
[Summer] Naomi.
Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm gonna do it anyway.
Violet, Violet, listen.
Use my location and send
it to the police right now.
(Summer crying)
(knife stabs)
Hey.
Man, what the fuck, man?
(intense music continues)
(Akeem grunts)
(Naomi screams)
(knife stabs repeatedly)
Fuck you, you piece of shit.
Fuck you.
Fuck.
Fuckin' bitch.
(Naomi spits)
(Naomi cries)
Akeem, you're bleeding so much.
(Akeem yells)
(Summer grunts)
(Josh grunts)
Oh my God. He was dry.
It was so brave of you, Josh.
I almost had him.
Yeah, you did.
Almost had him.
How's your hand?
It's gonna be okay.
Okay.
(grunts) Hold me.
Is he dead? Oh, shit.
What the hell was that, man?
Akeem?
(Akeem grunts)
Akeem, you all right man?
[Naomi] Don't die.
I'm not dying. I'm not.
[Naomi] He's fucking dead.
Damn, he hit me right in
my goddamn forehead, man.
Shit.
[Akeem] I'm not dying.
(Josh grunts)
(Police sirens)
(intense music)
(intense music continues)
(ominous music)
Look what they did to him.
What are you gonna do about it?
Thank you that you kept me
You kept me
Keep me
Keep me
Keep me from all evil
Lord, keep me
Keep me
As I travel down this road
Told my haters I'm too gifted
I'm God sent
And how I structure these
lines can make a bar bend
I give you ghetto gospel
'cause I'm part of the streets
And so the demon time,
they dying from God's seat
Never sold my soul
The angel with broken wings
I manifested
I fought the giant and made them bleed
Casting all of my stones
If any demon approach my
Get castrated from
your neck to your bones
Yes, Yes
Any weapon formed against king
Shall not prosper
The way God put these verses together
I'm like an author, self made
God brought me through
the darkest moments
And like in the valley to death
See, my eyes awoken from
being homeless to making money
'Cause staying blessed
From making our home my house
You don't need to stress
Rest in heaven to
every soldier we lost
Kobe Byrant and his family
Nipsey can take God Lord
Keep me
Keep me
Keep me from all evil
Lord, keep me
Keep me
As I travel down this road
My path of righteousness,
Uplifted by the highest fist.
So fortunately they hating me,
Go weeping through the envious
Too many names to name.
And it's the shame
How the jealousy
Can make one kill
you for diamond chain
I cried when Sean Price died
I'm hip hop
I cried when Deo Max died
I'm hip hop
Hip hop
Rest in heaven K Slay, Pac, and Big
Bizz Markey showed
me what a legend is.
Legend is
Showed me how to get rich
Pimp C was king
Told me never love a chick
That's why God we really
need you in every part
Man, that you're
killing innocent people
Out at Walmart
My hearts heavy
My soul cries
I'm on my knees, taken to prayer
For every player
playin' in the streets,
Single mothers, I see y'all
Salute
Single fathers like Big said, get loot
Lord, keep me
Oh, Lord
Yes
Keep me
Oh, Lord
Keep me from all evil
Lord, keep me
Keep me as I travel down this road
Yes
Keep me
Oh, Lord
Keep me
Welcome to state wide
Lord, keep me
