Craig escapes onto the shop floor, and the night crew set out to track him down whilst Jennifer calls the police. On discovering Craig, there is another scuffle, and Craig is ejected from the building, and disappears into the night.The night crew is gathered by the owners, who announce they are selling the store, and that the staff will soon be out of a job. The employees are assigned the task of marking down all the stock in preparation for the close. Craig makes telephone calls to the store, unnerving Jennifer. The police arrive, but do little to help, and just tell the group to be careful.Linda finishes her shift, and is stabbed and killed by an unseen attacker while taking groceries out to her car. Bill spots someone trying to enter through the back door, and goes out to investigate. He finds Craig watching Jennifer through the bathroom window, and is clubbed over the head with a hammer. Back in the store, the unseen assailant begins to stalk the employees, and kills them one by one. As Danny grabs a drink, the assailant attacks him from behind, before pushing his eyes through a sharp nail pointing up from the table. Later, as Produce Joe is chopping carrots, the assailant suddenly slams a chef's knife through his head, splitting his head. The murderer then proceeds to kill Tim who is enjoying a beer by stabbing Tim through his stomach, which his blood splatters all over the beer cans.

Bill staggers in and says Craig attacked him outside the store, and he proceeds to call the police.Jennifer notices that Bill's hands are covered in blood and realizes he was killing everyone all along.
