Jack methods from in the back of and asks mockingly, "How do you want it?" Wendy shrieks with alarm and wheels around to stand him. A confrontation ensues as Jack demands to understand her intentions regarding leaving the inn with Danny, whilst Wendy retreats, brandishing the bat. She screams at Jack no longer to harm her, and he swears that he will not; as an alternative, he intends to kill her.

Wendy has fallen asleep in her room. Danny is in a trance, carrying a knife and muttering "redrum" again and again. He takes Wendy's lipstick and writes "REDRUM" on the rest room door. He starts offevolved shouting "REDRUM," which wakes Wendy. She clutches him to her, then sees the reflection of the rest room door in the reflect. Reversed, it reads: "homicide."

The snow cat motive force is Dick. Within the resort, he calls out, but gets no reply. Jack, hiding in the back of a pillar, leaps out and swings the axe into Dick's chest, killing him. Danny, hiding in a kitchen cabinet, screams, revealing his area. He clambers out of the steel cupboard and runs outdoor.
Meanwhile, Wendy has ventured from the toilet and begun to search for Danny. The inn has sprung to existence and now even Wendy encounters its ghosts, sights that shock and horrify her. On the same time, awl-wielding Jack activates the outside lighting fixtures and follows Danny into the hedge maze.
Danny realizes he is leaving a path of footprints in the snow for Jack to comply with. He carefully retraces his steps, walking backwards in the same prints he'd simply created in the opposite direction, then covers the rest of his tracks and hides in the back of a hedge. Whilst Jack arrives, he sees that the trail of footprints ends suddenly, giving him no clue as to which direction Danny took. He chooses a direction and lurches deeper into the maze. Danny comes out of his hiding spot and follows his personal footprints returned to the maze's front.
Wendy makes her manner out of the inn simply as Danny emerges from the maze. Relieved, she flings down the knife and embraces him. Jack bellows his frustration from in the maze. Danny and Wendy waste no time escaping within the snow cat that Dick used to get to the lodge. Jack, hopelessly misplaced in the maze, freezes to death.
Right earlier than the give up credit, the digicam slowly zooms in on a wall within the motel full of old photographs that chronicle the hotel's records.
