She then realizes that Stan was in her room while she slept. Chloe tries to escape, but is intercepted and tied to a bed in Stan's rehearsal room.
While trapped in the basement, Stan, his wife Rachel, and his brother Gordon argue about how to proceed. Later, Stan's deaf daughter discovers the kidnapped Chloe and tries to call the police.
