Sam's POV

I wake up to Mike whisper-shouting my name. I scoot over to where he is and after he helps me out of my restraints through the grate he's behind, I kneel on the ground. 

"Mike, you found me!" I say gratefully. 

"It's okay," he assures me. "You're okay."

"I don't understand... How did you get here? How did you find me?"

"Sam, listen. There's some maniac up here on the mountain!"

"Yeah. I've noticed."

"Yeah, but he lives in this like, web of tunnels... I was down there trying to get out and then I found this grate and saw you."

"Listen, this guy who you're talking about... he attacked me. He showed me these videos too, and one of them showed Josh being killed... just... ripped apart by this huge sawblade." I start to cry. 

"What the hell is going on here!?"

"And Mike... I think... I don't know... that maybe Josh is somehow involved in all of this?"

Mike raises an eyebrow in confusion. "What?"

"I'm not sure... But when I was blacking out during my run-in with the psycho, I could have sworn I heard him use the nickname only Josh uses for me. But... but he was dead by then. I'm not sure... Maybe I was just hearing things out of grief or something. I don't know..." I hide my face in my hands.

"Hey, it's alright, Sam. It's going to be alright. There's a door here. It won't open. Can you unlock it from your side?"

I nod, standing up, where I find my backpack on the door handle. I take it off the handle and swing it over my shoulder, walking out to find the door Mike needs me to open. 

I walk down the stairs and reach the wooden door, lifting the plank up to unlock the door. I set the plank down on the ground and swing open the door to find Mike standing right there. 

I look him up and down, noticing that he must have been through a lot. He looks terrible!

"Hey..." Mike starts, looking happy to see me.

"Jeez, you look awful," I tell him.    

I walk past him as he retorts, "Nice to see you too."

I go to a corner and set my pack down.

"What are you doing?" Mike asks. 

"Well, actually, the towel didn't turn out to be the best outfit for fighting off killer maniacs, you know?" I explain. I make a circular motion with my pointer finger. "Do ya mind, Mike?"

"Oh. Right. My bad." Mike turns around.

I quickly change, deciding to leave my backpack here for now. "Okay. Done. Let's put this thing to bed."

"Amen to that," Mike agrees, turning around as I walk towards him. 

Then we hear voices.

"Please!"

"I can't! I can't decide!"

"What was that?" I ask. 

Mike continues to follow the sound. "Is that crying?" 

Mike and I push on a metal door, opening it to reveal Chris and Ashley restrained to chairs with saws above their head. I notice a gun in Chris's free hand. 

Then I see the psycho, walking towards them. 

"Noo! No! No! No!" Ashley cries. "Get away!"

Chris shoots the psycho over and over with the gun, but nothing happens.
