Later that night while Sarah is downstairs she witnesses the key coming out of the door, implying someone is entering. Quickly, she hides under a table as three men wearing pig masks enter. Sarah moves to a different room and attempts to climb out of the window, breaking a glass and cutting her hand. She later escapes the house and enters the woods.
