In the Highlands of Scotland, Wells leads his squad consisting of Cooper, Bruce, Spoon, Joe and Terry on a military exercise. Spoon tells Wells he left his watch at the barracks and Joe complains about missing the England versus Germany soccer match. Bruce tells the others the other team in the exercise is a Special Forces team. Wells then lets Spoon borrow his watch. While they are stopped for a meal, Cooper tells the others that he heard people disappear from the area all of the time and mentions the Campers who disappeared. At night, Cooper asks the others what scares them and Joe brings up soccer again. Wells tells the story of Eddie Oswald who had a tattoo of a laughing devil on his butt. While on patrol, Eddie stepped on an anti-tank mine and one of the pieces they found was a piece of skin with the laughing devil on it in perfect condition. As Spoon is telling a joke, a cow suddenly falls from above into the middle of camp. Cooper inspects the cow and notices it has teeth marks on it. In the morning, Wells and his squad follow the path that the cow came from. A flare flies up from a nearby area and they head in the direction it came from. They come across the remains of a military camp that is covered in human remains. Wells orders his men to salvage equipment and weapons from the camp. Bruce notices there are no bodies and Wells orders him to get on the radio. Ryan pops up from behind some equipment and after asking for help, collapses. Ryan keeps on repeating that there was only supposed to be one. Bruce tells Wells he can't reach anyone over the radio. Ryan tells them they have to get him to safety before they come back, but won't explain who they are. Ryan tells Wells that what they are fighting can't die and the squad hears a noise. They leave the camp and Bruce takes rearguard position. They are attacked by Werewolves, but they make it to a road and are picked up by Megan in her vehicle. Megan tells them she heard gunfire the night before and knew someone was in the woods. She takes them to a friend's farm and they break into it. They find food cooking in a pot which appears to be pork, but the place empty except for Sam The Dog. Cooper and Spoon go to get the vehicle and find its engine ripped out. Three Werewolves appear near them and Cooper shoots the vehicle and runs back inside with Spoon. Spoon tells Joe that it reminds him of Rorke's Drift when the British Army fought against the Zulu. Cooper then introduces the rest of the squad to Megan. Cooper sees a family photo and Megan tells him the family that owns the cabin are the Ueths. Cooper starts questioning Ryan and notes that Ryan seems to be in better health than when they first found him. Cooper forcibly looks at Ryan's wound and notices it is healed. The Werewolves cut the power to the house and Spoon watches as one of the Werewolves starts to turn the door handle. The Werewolves then attack the house. As Terry is standing next to a window, a Werewolf grabs him and drags him away. Cooper walks downstairs and Megan tells him the Werewolves got Terry. Cooper figures out Ryan and Megan know each other and she tells him she worked with Ryan's team during their first visit to the area. Megan mentions that the Ueth family have a Land Rover in the shed and Joe offers to go and hot wire it. Joe runs to the shed while Spoon acts as a distraction. Joe drives to the house. Spoon opens the door to the vehicle and he and Cooper see Joe dead and Wells hurriedly closes the door. Ryan tells Cooper and the others that his team was sent by the Special Weapons Division to capture a Werewolf and admits that Wells' squad was to be used as bait. Wells attacks Ryan and Ryan's eyes change color. Ryan then changes into a Werewolf. Cooper puts a sword through the chest of Ryan and Spoon shoots at Ryan, but Ryan escapes. Cooper realizes that the Werewolves are the Ueth family. Megan then tells them that the Werewolves are probably all in the shed. Spoon asks Cooper what they are going to do about Wells and Cooper tells him Wells is with them. Cooper puts a propane tank in the Ueth's vehicle and then drives it into the shed, but jumps out before it crashes. Wells throws a Molotov Cocktail which sets off the fuel spilling from the fuel line and the shed explodes. Megan tells Cooper she is sorry then tells him she is also a Werewolf and was hoping he and the others could help her, but now realizes they don't have the ability to. She admits she opened the door to the Werewolves while they were distracted with the shed and the Werewolves assemble in the house. Wells shoots Megan in the face and the Werewolves start their attack. Spoon is trapped in the kitchen while Cooper and Wells are separated. Spoon starts fighting a Werewolf hand to hand, but he is grabbed by another one. Before he is ripped apart, he tells the Werewolf, he hopes he gives it "the shits."
