Carver and his gang led the group inside the ski lodge, while Rebecca, Alvin, and Clementine found a different place to hide. Kenny and Luke were still nowhere to be seen, and Lee was worried about them. One by one, the remaining members of the group, Lilly, Lee, Carlos, Sarah, Nick, Pete, Matthew, Sarita, and Walter were tied up and ordered to sit on the floor.
"Look at this place," Bonnie marveled as she checked out the lodge.
Clementine, Alvin, and Rebecca hid upstairs, and tried to conjure up a plan. But Carver was growing impatient. He moved to grab Carlos, and pulled the man up to punch him in the stomach.
"Dad!" Sarah yelled out, frightened by watching her father get hurt.
"Listen, I'm only gonna ask you once," Carver said. "Where's Rebecca?"
Carlos ignored him. "Sarah, look at me. It's going to be okay."
Carver grabbed Carlos' finger and pulled it, breaking it. "Rebecca!" he yelled. "Our baby deserves to be raised in a place of safety. I know you're out there, and Alvin, and Luke, and the girl. This is real simple; you want this over with, you all play nice and show your faces."
"Don't hurt my dad, please!" Sarah cried.
"Don't look, Sarah," Lilly whispered to the girl.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the others listened in. "He'll kill him," Alvin whispered. "We gotta go down there."
"I can't do that," Rebecca said.
"Bec...the baby...you need a doctor!" Alvin nearly pleaded.
"We have to help Carlos!" Clementine whispered urgently.
"Only way to help him is to do what the man says."
"Where's Luke and Kenny?" Rebecca asked.
Downstairs, Carver grabbed another of Carlos' fingers, and broke that one, too. Sarah was in the danger zone of hysterics, and she couldn't look away no matter how hard she tried.
"DAD!" she shrieked, bolting upwards.
"Clem can sneak out, find Luke!" Rebecca continued.
"You heard him, Carver knows she's with us!" Alvin argued.
"Just stop! Don't hurt my dad, please!" Sarah begged Carver, now sobbing.
"We're goin' down there," Alvin said, not wanting to listen to any more.
"He'll kill you!" Rebecca chastised.
In a great deal of pain, Carlos look up and glared at Carver. "Fuck you," he sneered. Then, he called out, "Shoot him! Somebody just shoot hi-" But he couldn't finish because Carver took out a knife and put it to his throat. Sarah cried even louder.
"Clem, go find help!" Rebecca urged.
"He'll kill him!" Alvin whispered.
"I'll go find Luke and Kenny. Stay here," Clementine whispered, and snuck off.
"Goddamn it," Alvin muttered, and he, too, went over to the window to help Clem sneak off.
"You never did listen," Carver said, pulling Carlos' hair, bringing the knife closer to his throat. "Let's see if this'll get your attention."
Meanwhile, Clementine was wandering outside trying to find Luke and Kenny. She finally located them, hiding out in a small box like structure. "Clem!" Kenny whispered happily. She then made her way over to him. Carlos' screams could be heard from inside, and Clem knew that they were almost out of time. "You all right?" he asked.
