[clock ticking]
[whimpering]
[child speaking indistinctly]
[child crying]
[eerie rumble]
[man] Paul, it's not my fault.
[man 2] I'm done.
I can't keep doing this.
[little girl]
Daddy, please! Daddy! Please!
[man] Sam, come on, Sam, let go.
[whimpering]
[boy] Sorry...
[eerie music]
[indistinct whimper]
[child screaming]
[little kid] Mom! Mom!
[woman] Sam! Sam!
[indistinct]
Oh, my God! No, no.
Nolan!
[sobbing]
Matthew, what did you do?
[footsteps]

[vehicle engine revs]
[music continues]
[music increases then halts]
[loud crush]
[rattling]
[water splashes]
[exhales deeply]
[boiling teapot]
[liquid pouring]
You had any sleeping?
A bit, you and that damn window.
It's not that cold.
Maybe, uh, sneak out
on work early tonight?
Mm, I can't, I'm meeting some
buyers this afternoon.
We could...
watch a movie, order
takeout, maybe a bottle of wine.
I can't, I'm slammed.
I'm gonna be late.
We'll find time, okay?
[soft music]
Uh, where's the...
-Oh, here.
-S...
Oh.
This is new, I...
I know, I thought
I grabbed a new one.
It was just, uh, you know.
[kiss]
-Briefcase!
-[husband] I know,
I'm not leaving just yet.
[sighs] Okay.
[thud]
[suspenseful music]
[door slams]
[music turns intriguing]
[door lock clicks]
[door creaks]
[cellphone buzzing]
[eerie rumble]
[cellphone buzzing]
I think
you're buzzing over here.
Sam?
You left the patio door
open again.
[sighs]
Giles, don't worry about the
marketing materials, we...
[eerie rumble]
This is she.
Sure, um...
[music intensifies]
I understand.
Sam?
Sam!
Babe, it's burning.
[music increases, then halts]
Are you alright?
Uh...
Matthew...
[music continues]
There was the, um...
[clears throat]
-That was the police...
-What's happened?
He's dead.
[sighs]
Are you okay?
[sniffles]
It's over. [sighs]
Um...
I just need a...
I need a minute to...
Okay...
It's just a couple of days,
the cops want us there to...
-[door closes]
-Nolan, trust me, I know.
I'm supposed to be at work too,
but we have to be at the house...
Please.
-[door closes]
-I don't ask for a lot, okay?
[inaudible]
Okay, thank you.
How's he doing?
Well, he says
he's gonna be there.
-[husband] That's good.
-Are you sure you can take the time?
Yeah, stop. I just got back from
closing the deal in New York.
The least they can do
is give me a few days.
[melancholic music]
Together, right?
[Sam] Okay.
You need to bring that
thicket jacket
that I bought you?
'Cause you'll be cold.
I'm fine, babe. Honestly.
Let's just get there. Alright?
[car engine starts]
[suspenseful music]
[music fades]
Oh, shit.
[sighs]
Classy.
It's one.
Fifteen.
It's one-fifteen.
Well, thank you for clarifying.
Keys are gone.
-I already checked.
-[keys jingle]
I meant the spare, but...
[chuckles] Oh, Banker Laker.
[husband]
Always a pleasure, Nolan.
Mmm.
You alright?
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
We should get the
-[indistinct]
-Yeah, I got it, I got it.
[ominous music]
Huh...
You know, we're always here
for funerals, huh?
True.
[music fades]
[thud]
[grunts]
[bottle clanking]
Seriously?
Hell, are you mom reincarnated?
Dead mom jokes, great.
We're on a roll.
[thud]
Happy?
Hey.
Hey.
-Thank you for coming.
-No, no, it's...
Okay.
Anytime.
Hey.
How come you have mom's set?
[Sam] Well, Matthew stole mine
a few years ago.
Where's yours?
You know.
Threw mine in the river
on my 18th birthday.
[chuckles]
Everything okay?
Yeah.
I'll go grab
the rest of the bags.
Thanks, babe.
-Thanks, babe.
-[slap]
[grunts] Ow, ow.
Keep drinking. It'll hurt less.
I have back pain.
Y... I was in the car accident.
What are you talking...
You crashed your car
into a tree,
and you're lucky you
didn't get a DOI.
That was, what, like,
five years ago?
-Mm, yeah.
-[chuckles]
I guess it did.
[Sam] Yeah.
Besides, you know
he actually likes you, right?
[door opens]
-[husband] Melody.
-[Melody] Hey.
What the...
What?
[indistinct]
What are you doing here?
Hello, Sam.
I'm sorry, do I need to
ask you again?
Just came here
to pay my respects.
-I know things are rough.
-[scoffs] You think?
You? Seriously?
What? [stutters] She's
technically his sister, too.
[both] Half.
See?
You guys agree on something.
[sighs] I do not
need this today.
Maybe I'll come back
a bit later.
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, you're here already.
Come in.
Yeah.
[both] Shoes!
Of course. Sorry.
Stop apologizing.
We are not an apology
type of family.
Families.
Whatever.
Wow.
Dad actually apologized once.
-For having me.
-Yeah, I got that one, too.
Uh, let me just say,
I'm not our father.
Oh, well, thank you for clearing
that up,
but you are the living
reminder of him.
Okay, how about a drink, huh?
-It's one.
-Fifteen.
Uh-huh. No, it's twenty.
It's one-twenty now.
-What?
-[Melody] No, thank you.
It's a very nice home.
[clears throat]
Never actually seen it before.
Right.
Just... Yeah, I mean,
it wouldn't really be
a good secret
family situation if...
-you'd have been here.
-[Melody] I get it,
-he you lied to us, too.
-Oh, happy to hear that.
Sounds like the foundation
for a fantastic family.
Mine's liquor.
Look, I'm... [sighs]
Not here to upset you, or...
[Sam] You? No.
But, uh, opening our door
in the dead of winter,
that upsets me.
[door rattles]
Ah, you... you have to
shove it hard, alright?
It's a old house. Doors stick.
[door thuds]
He was my brother, too.
[both] Half.
-[sniffs]
-[Melody] Really?
Just gonna do that
right in front of me?
I'll have you know that shrooms
are practically legal, okay?
Y... They're basically medicine.
You invited her.
Same as dad?
No, with milk, please.
Sorry, we're fresh out
in this house.
You'll have to take it
straight up.
[exhales deeply]
-Hey, man.
-[man] Hey.
Oh, you need help with that?
[husband] Oh, I'm good, thanks.
-[man] Let me get the trunk.
-[husband] Oh.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Listen...
I'm not exactly sure
what's being said
in there, but, uh...
it's a tough day. So I just
wanted to say that Sam...
-Sam doesn't mean to...
-Well,
she... she does a bit,
but it's okay.
-Yeah, well...
-[man] Look, I get it.
I'd be pissed, too, if my dad
had another family.
Yeah, I struggle
with the one wife.
Can't imagine
how their dad had two.
[both chuckle]
Geez.
But Mel... Mel is trying, though.
I... I hope you get that.
Oh, I do, yeah.
It's a kind of controversial
opinion, but
she liked Matthew,
or she tried to.
Yeah, well,
she's the only one, then.
[man] Yeah.
-[stutters]
-[husband] Thanks.
You know, always
the defense attorney, Mel.
She gets him out while you're
putting him away?
Yeah, we balance each other out,
I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
What are you doing?
Melody brought
her cop boyfriend.
Detective now, actually.
Okay, we are literally waiting
-for the cops.
-Guys, you know that's Mel.
-Please.
-They're coming here in, like, five minutes.
And he's my fianc now.
Oh.
[both] Congrats.
-[door opens]
-[Melody] Thank you.
-I was gonna invite you two...
-[Nolan] Hey!
Ethan, hey. Officer.
Long time.
-Ignore him.
-It's nice to see you, Nolan.
-Sam, how are you?
-Hey, great, did you leave the door open?
[husband] Sorry, kinda had my
hands full.
[Melody] Here, let me help.
[husband, muffled]
It's all right. I'm good.
[eerie music]
-[door slams]
-[music stops abruptly]
-Hi, woah.
-[gasps] Oh.
-You okay?
-Yeah, sorry,
I just, I... I didn't
really sleep well
-last night.
-Mm.
[knocking on door]
[soft groan]
Let's just get this
over with, okay?
-Yeah.
-Hey, um,
I'm sorry about...
Hey, no, no, no,
we don't...
do the apology thing.
Okay?
I got it.
[door lock opens]
Miss Miller?
Uh, yes, but I think you mean...
Me.
We spoke on the phone
this morning.
Yes, I, uh, I remember you since
you were about, ooh, this tall.
And your mother as well.
Um, we hear about you...
Brother.
[suspenseful music]
So we, uh, received a call
yesterday morning
about a vehicle submerged in the
lake that appeared to have gone
off the road.
As you can see...
I believe it was going at
quite some speed.
When we arrived on the scene,
we found a car
broken through the ice,
fully submerged
just below the surface.
Now, we called in a crew
to retrieve it,
but unfortunately, we won't be
able to get anyone down there
right now without the
proper equipment.
Wait, wait, wait. So...
he could still be alive?
Survive a crash like that
in this weather?
It's highly unlikely.
But we do have rangers searching
the surrounding area.
In the event he was ejected and
managed to somehow survive,
but, uh, so far...
nothing.
[Ethan] Are there any witnesses?
Your, uh, neighbor, Mr. Janz,
down the road called it in
after he noticed the
tear in the guardrail.
-And it was definitely him driving?
-Really?
Just saying some certainty
would be nice.
We... We're talking about...
I think I know what
we're talking about.
[stuttering] Wha...
Was it him or was it not?
Well, there's, um,
no cameras on that stretch road.
But we did run the plates,
and they came back
as belonging to a, uh,
Rosemary Miller, -[mouth along]
-along with a record of...
-Matthew stealing her car
when she was sick. Yeah.
Always him.
I was the one that reported it,
if you remember.
I think I told you
at the time that he took...
everything she had
when he started using again.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
That's him at the bottom
of the lake.
-That's him.
-Sam...
[suspenseful music continues]
You know, when our mom died,
[chuckles] we thought,
"What the hell harm could it
do in letting him keep the car?"
[door slams]
[scoffs]
-It's just...
-Nolan.
Listen, I... I'm aware
there's history here,
and I can
certainly empathize that this
is a difficult situation
all around.
But if you could provide
something to help us
I.D. the body,
that'd be much appreciated.
Okay, so...
why don't you just use pictures?
Mm? I... I mean,
I'm sure you have some
mugshots already in that file.
Right?
I mean, that is, of course,
if you don't just
recognize him yourself.
I think what he's
trying to say is...
if the condition
of the deceased is
not exactly...
Right, right. [stutters]
His face is bashed in, or
if he was
eaten away by wildlife, right?
[scoffs] No.
Come on, man.
They're trying to help us here.
[Nolan scoffs] Help, right.
[chuckles]
Well, what about the ring?
[officer] The ring?
Yeah, I mean, the one he... he
stole off Sam when she was 12.
He never takes that off.
[officer]
What does it look like?
Just some basic gold band...
from both of our parents.
When my dad left,
he left it, and she wore it
growing up.
Jackass stole it off of her.
Wore it in front of her
every day.
Mom, she, uh...
[music continues]
[grunts]
Ah...
Well, that, uh,
definitely helps.
Thank you.
I think we've taken up more than
enough of your time.
Uh, you mind if I ask you
a question?
You... You said that the equipment
team is coming in from the city.
If there's any plans to have any
divers go out there as well...
Thank you.
Yeah, it's gonna
take a couple of days.
Different apartment,
as you know.
But, yeah, we've asked.
We'll get you some answers as,
uh... as soon as possible.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[Nolan] Wow.
That was a blast.
Well, look on the bright side...
At least we know
the karma's real.
[scoffs]
Which...
[sighs] means that I'm screwed.
What was he thinking?
Does he ever think?
Did.
Right.
He does... [sighs] I guess he...
he didn't. [scoffs]
I don't even know why I care.
[Nolan] Hey.
We don't care.
Right.
[sighs] I hate this place.
Yeah, me too.
[door opens]
Is... Is it cool if I...
I just want to apologize.
-I didn't mean to...
-It's fine. It's already forgotten.
[sighs] I just can't believe it.
You know,
I just saw him a few days ago.
-He seemed...
-Probably asking for money, right?
Yeah, I don't think...
Maybe.
-Right.
-He could be kind, you know?
I mean, didn't he love animals?
[chuckles]
Love ani...
-[chuckles]
-I mean,
he... he killed Captain Beaky.
-[Melody] Excuse me?
-Our bird.
-Oh, and Wyclef.
-Yeah, uh... uh, lizard.
Oh, and, ugh,
remember what did
to Foxy and Cottontail?
-That was just...
-[Nolan] Oh, no, no, no.
He... Technically,
he didn't kill them.
You see, remember Cottontail
had flipped on Flopsy?
[laughs] Yeah...
Brutal murder-suicide
thing, right?
-[Sam] It's a little bit on the nose.
-[Nolan] Yeah,
yeah, well, a little bit.
Okay, I get it.
You know, we're all in pain.
[grunts]
[clears throat] Okay.
Listen.
Melody or, I'm sorry.
Mel.
I really appreciate... I mean, we
really appreciate that you drove
all the way out here
to our, what did you call it?
Um...
"Very nice home"
and all, but, um, please
remember that it is just that.
Our home.
Okay. Got it.
-This was a mistake.
-[Sam] Yeah.
You have to shove the door,
remember?
Oh, I got it. It...
[door thuds]
[Ethan] Desperately needs
a quarter pound...
Ethan, can we...
Hey, sweetheart.
I was just helping...
-Now?
-[husband] Everything okay?
Yeah, we're staying in town, so
if the police call...
Uh... We'll let you know. Sure.
Hey.
Why don't you stay for lunch?
It's nice to see you, Brady.
-You too.
-I gotta go.
Hey, thanks for taking the lead
with the detective.
Yeah, you know, it's good for us
all to be on the same page.
-I'll talk to Sam.
-[Ethan] Appreciate it.
[sighs]
[ominous music]
[water splashing]
You have to understand.
She means well.
-[indistinct]
-Babe, I can't.
[indistinct]
Just so you know,
I got none of that.
Okay.
It's just plain ignorant.
I mean, Matthew comes to her for
money once, and she thinks
she has any idea what it's like
to be in my family.
Okay, okay, but...
Melod... Mel...
She's actually showing up
for you and...
Oh, please,
she's here for herself.
I've met her, what, like,
five times in my entire life.
And that's her fault?
[Sam] Whose side are you on?
[sighs]
I thought this might actually
bring you together.
Just don't push her away like...
Like who?
She's not the bad guy here.
Yeah, no, I got that.
-[Brady] That's not what I meant to say.
-Yeah, thanks!
-[Brady] Not... [grunts]
-[sighs]
[Brady sighs]
[knocking on door]
[sighs]
[melancholic music]
I wasn't talking about you,
you know that.
You are not him.
Babe?
Yeah?
I love you, okay?
Yeah?
Yeah?
[chuckles] Okay, I love you too.
[loud thud]
Oh.. Jesus.
-[scoffs]
-What's he doing now?
-Welcome to my life.
-Yeah.
[chair drags]
[music fades]
[door opens]
[Sam] I think you're right
about the house.
Yeah.
It's time, well, past time.
I think I'm gonna
take a bath, okay?
Okay.
Just try to relax.
[scoffs] Yeah, like that's
gonna happen. Go!
Okay.
[melancholic music]
[sobbing]
[muffled sobbing]
[window creaks]
[soft sob]
[music turns eerie]
[sniffles]
[music increasing gradually]
[window creaks]
[gasp]
[panting]
What...
[whisper] Sam.
[panting]
[gasp]

[eerie rumble]
What...
-Whoa, whoa.
-Hey!
-What are you doing?
-[Brady] Dude...
-[music fades]
-[muffled chuckles]
[indistinct conversation]
[Nolan] Five more minutes...
Oh, come on...
[groans]
Hey.
Do you believe in nature?
Or nurture?
Not now, man. Come on.
Can we just... [inhales sharply]
Please, just get inside.
Come on.
[Nolan] Oh, it is a pickle.
Oh, the conundrum
of my whole goddamn life.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[Brady] I don't know.
Nurture, I guess.
Hmm.
Yeah, I used to think like that.
[scoffs]
Hey.
Guess I'm screwed
either way, huh?
Come on. Let's just
get out of the corridor.
[distant creaking]
Oh. Easy, easy.
-Oh. Hey...
-Easy. Easy.
-[Brady] Alright.
-Easy, easy, yeah.
[Nolan sighs]
[groans]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[melancholic music]
You're not, uh...
Have you been okay...
about that?
Are you, uh,
cheating on my sister?
No, th... that's not
what we're...
No, never.
Look... [sighs]
I... I'm not asking for you
to open up to me or
to let me...
you know, be a...
brother or something...
Oh, I'm... I'm okay at most.
Yeah.
You can say that again.
[Nolan] Wait, so...
so you... you heard a
couple stories and... and...
and now you know
everything, yeah?
No.
I just know enough to know
it wasn't your fault.
Wow, that...
Thank you for... for that.
What he did, I just...
[door opens]
-Brady?
-[door closes]
[suspenseful music]

[grunting loudly]

[music fades]
[indistinct stutter]
[music continues]
No, don't.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, just don't.
[muffled scream]
Nolan...
[whimpering]
[music increases]
-[Nolan screaming]
-Nolan!
[Sam whimpering]
[Nolan grunting]
Nolan!
Help me!
[Sam] Nolan!
[music increases, then halts]
[panting]
[Nolan screaming]
[Brady] Nolan!
-[Nolan] Somebody, help!
-[Brady] Sam!
-[music continues]
-[Nolan screaming]
[muffled child screaming] Mom!
Mom!
[Nolan] Help!
[indistinct muffled screaming]
[Nolan screaming]
[kid] Help me!
[woman] What did you do?
[Nolan screaming]
[sobbing]
[Nolan screaming]
[sobbing]
[Brady] Look at me.
Nolan, hey, hey, just breathe.
-Breathe! Relax!
-No, no! [stutters] It hurts. I'm bleeding.
Relax, nothing's wrong. Breathe!
Where?
There's... there's no blood.
-[Nolan] No, no, no.
-Nolan, there's no blood.
[panting]
[door creaking]
[man whispering] Hey, Sam.
Oh, no, no, no, y...
What are you trying to do, man?
-[stuttering] My arms...
-Freak us all out?
[stuttering] They were bleeding.
-Okay, listen.
-[stuttering]
-I'm not...
-Listen, this is not the time.
I'm... I'm not trying
to be funny, okay?
I'm... Brady!
[Nolan stuttering]
I'm sorry, okay?
[indistinct]
[grunting]
[music continues]
[panting]
I... Just a bad dream.
[music increases, then halts]
[door closes]
[Brady] He's just messed up.
I tried talking to him, but he's
just off in his own head.
[panting]
Hey, it's okay.
[melancholic music]
It's not happening again.
He was just tripping out.
[sniffles]
Okay?
Okay.
Hey...
This isn't our life anymore.
It'll all be over
in a couple of days.
Okay?
[mouthing] Okay.
[subbing]
Okay?
Okay.
Let's just get ready for bed.
You'll feel better, okay?
-Okay.
-Alright.
-Okay.
-Okay.
[heavy breathing]
[Brady]
I'll be back in a bit, okay?
Okay.
[Brady] Okay.
[music continues]
[sobbing]
This isn't my life anymore.
[sighs]
[groans]
This isn't my life anymore.
[sighs]
I can't believe they gave you
a copy of those.
-[Ethan] Yeah, brothers in Blue and all that.
-Mm...
-Anything?
-[Ethan] Everything.
DUI, assault and battery theft.
How much of this
did you know about?
Little.
What blows my mind is he never
did any jail time.
That was Dad.
I... I thought he wanted nothing
to do with them.
Th... Those three, I mean.
He threw a lot of money at it.
Just to keep them all away.
Pay, I guess.
-Yeah.
-He got him a good lawyer.
George Richards.
-Th... The guy that got the...
-[Melody] Hartford Killer off.
-Yeah. Wow.
-[Melody] Mm-hmm.
Geez.
Well, I get it. I do.
He's troubled.
He was troubled.
Yeah, he was.
[Melody] It's just weird,
you know?
Just...
After years of drugs and neglect
and all kinds of shit, I mean,
this is how he dies?
Skidding off a road?
[sighs]
He was probably high.
Right.
Guess I was just expecting
a different call.
He was your brother.
-Half.
-[Ethan] Uh... He was your brother.
-He was your brother.
-Where was I?
Maybe Sam's right.
Maybe I am like dad.
Come on. You...
you are not like him,
and you know that.
This is...
This is not just a mean sibling.
This is violence, theft, abuse.
Yeah, Matthew
was nice to you, but...
could you imagine
living with this?
Growing up in the same house
with this?
That's different.
I understand why Sam and Nolan
didn't exactly
want to let anybody in.
But Matthew was the only one
who let me in.
[dramatic music]
See?
Yeah, I see.
[wind howling]
[water running]
[Sam] Okay, thank you, thanks.
[cellphone beeps]
[music fades]
No, no, no, no, no.
Leave it, leave it, please.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Okay, so we're still
upset, I see.
-[Brady] Good morning.
-Coffee's on the side.
Oh, thanks.
Who was that on the phone?
-Officer Stanton.
-Oh, yeah?
Yeah, they're bringing the car
up today, supposedly.
That's good.
Yeah, if he's dead.
The sooner we know,
the sooner we all
can get back to our
lives, and...
Well, I'm gonna head into town,
take care of a few
things, and I've got
a work call, so...
[Sam] Okay.
You good?
-Yeah.
-[kiss]
You good?
[Nolan] Never been better.
No more bad trips.
Well, the day is still young.
[Brady] I'll be back soon.
What do you see in that guy?
Look, I'm...
I'm sorry that I didn't...
You know, I know.
It's... It's fine.
Yeah, but it's okay if it's not.
Nolan... it's fine, honestly.
[ominous music]
Look, Sam, I, um...
It was like I was back
in that room.
-Please, Nolan.
-[indistinct]
Please.
[music fades]
Are you good now?
-[Nolan] Yup.
-Okay, good.
Okay, then.
[vehicle approaching]
You came back.
[Melody] Ooh, gotten
for punishment, I guess.
That's what families are for.
I thought it was
lies and liquor.
-[chuckles]
-Yeah, well...
We need that too.
-Yeah.
-[Brady] Ethan.
Brady.
Well, it's kinda cold out here.
We should go inside.
Yeah, I got a couple of errands.
-[Ethan] Okay, see you in a bit?
-Yeah, see you in a bit.
-Door's open.
-[Ethan] Thanks.
[suspenseful music]
[Ethan muffled] Mel?
Honey?
-Sorry.
-That would be.
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[indistinct]
-[Ethan] I got it.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-Morning.
Have you...
Did you guys sleep
much last night?
Not really.
I... I'm just gonna go change.
-I'll be down in a few.
-[Melody] Sounds good.
There's coffee in the pot.
[inhales deeply]
And, uh, there's milk now.
In the fridge.
Thank you.
Progress.
Good morning, Nolan.
[Nolan]
Hey, morning, officer, uh...
Detective.
[heavy breathing]
[eerie rumble]
Uh, Mel, you want coffee, right?
Yes, please.
Did something happen?
You know what, man?
Uh, don't bother, uh...
You wouldn't believe me
if I told you.
No, come on, try me.
Well, I think...
I saw something.
Someone moving around
in the woods, I...
I... I'm telling you, that...
[music continues]
This was last night?
[Nolan] Yeah, yeah.
Like, s... something
is out there, okay?
I... I swear to God, okay?
Out in the woods.
Okay, but none of you
were out there last night.
Positive. I... I saw it
from the dock, so...
Did Brady see it, too, or did
you tell him about it, or...
[Nolan] I get it, man.
-It seem banker-wanker.
-Oh, that's not what I'm saying.
Okay, well, look. Maybe
I was a little tipsy.
-[door closes]
-But I know what I saw.
What did you see?
I... I don't know, okay?
But... but something
was out there.
What could it be?
I don't know. It... It was dark,
okay? Nighttime.
That's not uncommon for
hallucinations,
-I mean...
-It was not a hallucination.
-Trust me.
-Okay.
Pretty familiar with those.
Let's just try
and let him explain.
What are we talking about here?
Stuff in the woods.
You know, people or animals
around the house, right?
I'm just saying, with everything
that's happening,
would it hurt to check
the grounds or the perimeter?
Check the perimeter?
I mean, what are
we thinking, foul play?
For me?
Please.
Of course. Yes.
Okay.
And... And you're sure nobody
went out there today?
-[thuds]
-Okay. Great.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[music restarts]
[rustling]
Checking the perimeter.
[lighter clicks]
[eerie rumble]
[man, muffled] Help me.
Somebody help me, please!
[music intensifying]
[door closes]
[music fades]
You alright?
I'm fine.
And last night?
It wasn't the shrooms.
Well, drugs can sometimes...
Okay.
I believe you.
[sighs] Yeah.
Hey.
I don't know, it...
It's happening again.
This... This is ex...
This is exactly what he does.
You know, he... He gets in,
he puts his claws into you,
and then you
can't get rid of him, he...
Who?
[suspenseful music]
He's not dead, Mel.
I... I know it.
[Melody] Nolan.
[Nolan] You know, he...
He made me do this when I...
when I... I was 12.
[sighs]
Losers, they...
they don't deserve to...
-That's not true.
-Yeah? Well, what part?
Hm?
Has his claws into you too?
He hurts people, Mel.
Okay? He... He gets in,
he makes you feel for him, and
then... then he's just there.
Okay? He's... He's this thing.
He's this...
this unshakable thing.
Okay?
[music fades]
Okay, this is pointless.
[wood creaks]
[eerie music]
[creaking]
What the...
[wood creaks]
[music intensifies]
[wood creaks]
[music fades]
[wood creaks]
Is that what
happened last night?
Did you try
to hurt yourself again?
-[Nolan] No, I...
-Can we not with this today?
[Melody] Is there anyone else
you could have seen?
-'Cause Matthew wasn't here...
-Okay, Melody...
No, no, guys,
look, I'm just tryna'
tell you what
I'm feeling, okay, and...
and what I'm seeing.
Okay, you need to just stop
and take a breath, okay?
Why are you asking
him about this?
Why are you talking
to her about this?
Because you don't talk about
anything ever.
Okay, well, I... I just can't
with this today.
-I can't.
-Exactly.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Silence Sam.
Well, I am only silent
because
I know that talking to you
means this!
God, I'm... I'm just, I'm so sick
of your bullshit and having to
drag you back
to reality every single time.
Right.
Well, am I wrong?
[scoffs]
You know, Matthew
was the villain,
but you were just as good
at playing the victim.
And why?
Why would you talk
to her about this?
I think emotions
are running high.
And why is
the goddamn door open?
-[door slams]
-[eerie rumble]
[sighs]
I don't think the issue
is with the door.
Okay, well, obviously not.
[sighs] Okay, you know what?
I have tried.
I have tried
literally everything
to get both of you to let me in.
You are standing in
our mother's kitchen.
What more do you want from us,
exactly?
Family?
Yeah, well...
dad's all dead now, so, uh...
And I don't think our mother
would have welcomed you
into her home,
even if she was still here.
What do you think?
[door opens]
[suspenseful music]
[door closes]
[Ethan] Hey, Mel,
have you seen my file?
There we go.
[dial tone ringing]
[suspenseful music]
Officer Stanton, it's
Ethan Brock from yesterday.
I... I think I have an update
in the Miller case.
It could be nothing,
it could be something.
What's going on?
Well, I was doing a walk
on the property
and I noticed
some additional fresh
footprints out by the river.
I can't speak to the timing,
but I've been told that
nobody else has
been out there, right?
There's what out there?
I told you, I told you.
It couldn't be anything.
[Ethan] But definitely
boot prints, yeah.
But I just can't say
who's or when.
Of course, of course.
Well, well,
if you have a moment,
I'll swing back and take a look.
Okay, great, thank you.
What's going on?
I don't think no one
was seeing things.
Somebody has been here.
-What?
-Somebody's been out there
-recently.
-See?
[Ethan] I mean, it's just
a set of footprints.
-Keys.
-What, the spare keys?
-What about them?
-I... It's, um...
No, no, it... it was gone
when we arrived.
Okay, alright, let me think.
But Matthew, he... he could've
just taken them before he...
He is here, okay?
He's been here
the whole time and I've
been trying
to tell all of you this.
[Ethan] Let's not jump to
conclusions.
No, I... I'm gone. This is nuts.
It's just a set of footprints,
Nolan.
It... it doesn't
prove anything yet.
Uh... you can't go anywhere.
We have to be here
because the... the cops...
Stay here to do what?
-Find out if he's alive?
-He is not alive.
And how do you know that, huh?
I ju...
[music continues]
-I just know, okay?
-Okay.
Aren't we supposed to stay until
the cops are done?
For what? Until Brady's
done trying to
sell the family home?
Oh, he... he had to go to town
to handle business, right?
I mean, the guy can't cover
a lie to save his life.
And then God forbid
that we discuss
what we're actually
here for, right, Sam?
Because you can't
sell this place
-if he's still here, can you?
-[music fades]
Nolan, the divers are doing
their job right now.
Key or no key,
we'll know tonight.
-Latest tomorrow.
-It's just one more night here.
I'm not staying
here another night.
[Ethan] Well, we'll stay.
Yeah? I'll stay.
I... I'll do the rounds,
I'll check the doors.
You'll be safe here, I promise.
You don't need to do that.
We'd love to, it's not a problem
if it'll help
or if you'll have us.
Yeah.
[dramatic ominous music]
[sighs]
[music turns melancholic]
Oh, of course.
[thud]
[gasp]
[Melody] You alright?
-Y... Yeah.
-[Melody] Sam?
[sighs] Yeah.
[Melody] Let me help.
Sorry, the accommodations
aren't the best.
It's just the sofas are better.
We got rid of the bed
in my old room, and it's...
I get it,
it wouldn't feel right.
Matthew's room, well, that's...
Honestly, the sofa is fine.
Thank you.
You know, I get why
you don't wanna
engage and get into
it with Nolan.
I really do.
Must have been awful.
[sighs] What do you mean?
Finding him like that.
You were what, 11?
10, but, um...
-I didn't, uh...
-I'm sorry.
Whether we do apologies
or not, I really am.
You don't need to be.
I'm the one who's sorry.
I really am.
[melancholic music]
[thuds and clanking]
[music turns suspenseful]
[indistinct whispers]
Hello?
[music turns eerie]
[gasps]
[eerie rumble]
[electricity whirring]
[knocking on door]
-[Melody] Hello?
-[knocking on door]
-Sam? Hello?
-[music increases]
-What is going on?
-I don't know.
-[music fades]
-You're okay. Mel.
[scoffs]
What's with everybody today?
[suspenseful music]
I'm sure the door just stuck.
It's an old house, right?
And the light bulb. I mean,
who knows? A lot of times...
I know, I know, I know.
It just felt... weird.
I get it.
It's the tension in the air,
alright?
Look, take the win with Sam.
Don't punish yourself
about this, or
let the paranoia rub off on you.
-[Melody] You're right.
-Ah, on occasion, I can be.
-.Mm-hmm.
-[Brady] Pizza delivery. [indistinct]
-And he's here to help, too, okay?
-Yes, you're right again.
Pizza? Did he say pizza?
Oh, wow, thank you.
Ooh... Nice.
-Can we help?
-Oh, no, you're good.
Take it easy.
-[Ethan] Take it easy.
-Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-You need to wait.
-Oh, come on.
Wait.
What? Nolan will be down in like
two minutes.
[Sam screaming] Nolan!
Dinner!
[grunts]
Sorry it took me so long.
The roads are closing
left and right out there.
That's alright.
How was the meeting?
Uh... good.
Oh, they know, by the way.
-Nolan, too.
-Oh.
Okay, well, the good news is
they think it'll go fast once
-we're all ready, of course. Thanks.
-Okay.
-[suspenseful music]
-[water splashing]
[Sam] Nolan!
[sighs] Oh, fuck.
[sighs]
-Oh, napkins.
-[Ethan] Oh, we got them right here.
Mel was trying to steal them,
but I caught her.
-Okay, detective, calm down.
-[chuckles]
[water splashes]
[sighs]
[water splashes]
[eerie rumble]
[heavy breathing]
[Sam] Nolan!
-This is ridiculous.
-You know what?
-Let's just start.
-We can wait.
-It's about time.
-Honestly, you'll be waiting forever, just...
[Ethan] Totally fine, yeah.
I'll get the wine right now.
[music continues]
[music increases]
[rattling]
[Sam] Nolan!
What the hell?
[Sam] Nolan!
[Nolan] Yeah, I'll come down
in a second.
-[clears throat]
-[Ethan] Should we check on him?
He's a toddler.
[music continues]
[bottle thuds]
What the hell?
No...
[Sam] Nolan!
There's no way.
[music fades]
There you are.
H... Here I am. Yeah, ready?
-Me?
-Okay, what... what is wrong with you?
Why are you acting weird?
Did you take something?
No, I just... No.
Ethan told me you got
a promotion.
-[Ethan] Oh.
-Mmm. I'm just up for it.
I mean, if I did
get a promotion,
it would just mean
more important cases
and maybe on track for partner.
Youngest in the firm.
[Melody] Stop it, it would
just be more work.
I'm proud of my fianc.
Well, that's amazing.
Right, Sam?
Uh, yeah, amazing.
Nice to finally be celebrating
something in this house.
S... Sorry, babe, but you have to
admit, it's been a lot of, uh...
-Shit.
-Shit!
Exactly. Since, well...
-We were born?
-[Brady] Wow.
Are we actually agreeing on
something, Nolan?
Hmm, looks like it.
Well, cheers.
-Cheers.
-Haven't gotten anything.
[Ethan] Even in the bad,
you have to celebrate.
Okay, what is going on with you?
Can you just come out with it?
[suspenseful music]
What?
[ring rattles]
-Where did you get that?
-Is that...
-[Ethan] Where'd you find that?
-[Nolan] I... I don't know.
-Okay, that's not funny.
-[Nolan] It wasn't...
-Nolan...
-[stutters] I... I found it, okay?
-Where did you find it?
-He didn't find it.
-He probably had it.
-[Nolan] No!
I think we need to calm down.
Okay, why do you have that?
[stuttering]
Just listen to me, okay?
I... I found it in... in a bottle.
It was placed in a bottle.
-What bottle?
-Let's take a breath here.
-What the hell did you do, Nolan?
-Jesus Christ.
-Wait, I didn't do anything.
-Stop lying.
-Why are you doing this?
-I didn't do anything, okay?
I found the ring!
[knocking on door]
Who the hell's that?
It's the officers.
-Shit. No, just... just hold on.
-Good.
We have to give them this.
-[Melody] Okay.
-What are you doing?
We don't have to give this
to them until we can
figure out where it came from.
-What?
-Plus, we don't know that Matthew
-was wearing it when he died.
-Jesus Christ.
He could have been in the house.
You said so yourself.
-He could have found the spare key.
-[Nolan] Listen to me, okay?
Look, hand on my heart, okay?
I... I found it, okay?
I wouldn't lie about something
like that, Sam.
I don't know, Mel.
I believe him.
Let's take a beat.
Hear what the police
have to say.
We'll revisit this once
they leave, yes?
Okay?
-Fine.
-Fine.
But if I find out it was you who
put us all through this, I
-promise you...
-But, Brady, just, let's just...
-[knocking on door]
-I'll go.
I got it.
-[Brady] Officer Stanton. Thanks for coming.
-[Stanton] Brady.
[music fades]
Oh, apologies. We didn't mean
to interrupt your dinner.
[Melody] It's okay.
You have an update for us?
We managed to pull the car from
the lake today.
We, uh...
we still don't have a body.
-No body?
-[suspenseful music]
How is that even possible?
Well, we did, uh,
find the windows open,
so there is a slight chance
that Mr. Miller might have
been conscious after the impact
and managed to swim out,
but, uh...
Uh, son, are you okay?
I... I told you he was alive,
okay?
-I... I told you!
-Enough!
[Stanton] Look, I'm not trying
to give anyone
the wrong impression
here, alright?
Fact of the matter is,
the ice sheet alone
would have prevented anyone
from getting out.
And even if he did, well, we've
completed a pretty thorough
search of the surrounding area.
We've turned up nothing.
Not a single track,
not a drop of blood,
nothing to indicate
that anyone survived.
What about the... the footprints
I told you about?
What you think of those?
Oh, yes, the footprints.
This is a small town,
and as these two both know
from growing up
kids get bored.
Besides, this place is miles
from that bridge.
[Melody] Just kids?
I think it's quite the
coincidence, don't you think?
A house like this left empty?
Pretty attractive for young
people who wanna find a place
just to sit around
and smoke and party.
What I'm thinking of is
maybe there's someone you
Millers are forgetting about.
Someone you might have slighted
or made an enemy of.
Somebody might be, uh, want to
play games, try and scare you.
I mean, like other than Matthew,
you mean, or...?
[sighs]
Look, there really is no cause
for alarm here, alright?
I know y'all
are looking for answers,
and I really wish
I had some news
to offer some kind of closure.
But all I can tell you is, we're
gonna keep dragging the lake,
and we'll keep you updated.
We'll find the body.
I think, uh, it's about time
I let y'all
get back to dinner now.
Son, you, uh,
you sure you're okay?
You just told him that his
brother's body is still missing.
What do you expect from him?
[music continues]
Have yourself a good night.
[music increases, then halts]
[Ethan] Okay, I'll start.
The ring.
Now, it is quite likely
that Matthew wasn't wearing it,
that he... he could've
left it at home.
Sure, and Nolan could have
found it here and just forgot.
[Ethan] Right, right.
He found it while
he was messed up.
He plopped it into his bottle
for whatever reason,
forgot about it.
[sighs] I c... I can't do this.
I can't do this.
-Sam.
-I just need a minute.
Okay.
The blankets are
in the laundry room.
We got it. Go.
[Sam] And you know what? [sighs]
My brother wouldn't... Mm.
Nolan.
He didn't do this.
Hey, thanks for being here.
Almost had five full minutes
of normalcy.
-It was kind of...
-Nice.
-Yeah, almost.
-Yeah.
We'll clean up.
Why don't you go be with her?
-Yeah.
-You sure?
Yeah.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Thanks.
Front door's locked.
Yeah, I... I'll get there back
whenever he gets back in.
Yeah, don't,
uh, hold your breath.
[chuckles] Yeah. I'll wait up.
Alright. Night, then.
Night.
Night-night.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[suspenseful music]
[music increases]
[music continues]
You're not gonna leave, are you?
[screaming] Are you?
Blood for blood, then, huh?
You're me and I'm you!
Is that it, brother?
Well, come on, then!
Come on and get me.
[light switch clicks]
[music fades]
Can we keep it closed?
Yeah, of course.
[sighs]
Yeah.
[sighs]
Hey...
[kiss]
It'll all be over soon, okay?
[soft chuckle]
Okay.
Okay.
-Good night, baby.
-Good night.
[kiss]
[light switch clicks]
[whispers] Goodnight.
Ta-da!
What?
I've, uh, just been
thinking all day.
Yeah?
You know, I always thought
it was dad.
Like, him, his shit, his anger,
hurting both families,
no matter the cost.
Maybe he had to get away
from all this.
-Mel...
-[Melody] Uh... Not them.
Him, Matthew.
-[sighs]
-It... just feels like
he's standing in the middle of
the family, holding a grenade
with a pin pulled,
and everyone's
just trying not to get blown up.
Hey, hey, hey.
He's not here.
Nobody's dropping any grenades.
He doesn't have to be.
The explosion's still coming.

Ma... Matty...
-Sam, Sam, Sam... Hey, hey.
-[music fades]
-What's going on?
-I should've... [stutters]
I should've told someone,
because I knew.
I... I had to have known.
No, no, no. That's...
that's not on you, okay?
-It's... It's not.
-And then you, too.
You tried to leave me, too.
No, no, hey, hey, listen.
That was me, okay?
I... I was... I was trying
to leave... leave me, okay?
Not... Not you.
Okay?
But, I should've talked to him.
-Sam...
-Why didn't I talk to him?
Because we were...
we were kids, okay?
You were a kid.
He's...
[sobbing]
He... He never wanted
to talk to us, okay?
He... he only wanted to...
to hurt us...
okay? And we...
we let him in, we...
We all let him in.
Okay?
-[Melody] Ethan!
-[eerie music]
-I'll go.
-No, wait, wait.
I... I, um...
I saw... I saw Matthew before,
and I keep seeing him.
-He was right there, and I...
-[Nolan] That... Okay.
-[stuttering]
-[Nolan shushing]
[Nolan]
Okay, come here, come here.
Ethan!
Ethan...
Ethan!
[music increases]
[door slams]
[heavy breathing] Come on...
Come on. Stop this...
[door rattles]
Stop this!
Let me in.
[panting]
-It's okay. You're okay.
-He's not dead!
-I saw him.
-You...
[sobbing]
[door creaks]
Hey, Sam, Sam, Sam, we... we're
gonna get going right now, okay?
You need to come with me.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
-Let's go. Come on.
-[Sam] Okay.
Breathe, just breathe.
Sit down, sit down. You're okay.
-Where's Ethan?
-We don't know,
-I'll go find him. I'm sure he's outside.
-No, no, please.
You remember what the police
said. It's just kids, okay?
Ethan probably heard them
and went looking.
I'll go check it out,
and we'll all be fine.
-Okay, but...
-This has gone on long enough.
-Okay, but...
-Just lock the door behind me.
Get upstairs, wait for me, okay?
Okay? Everyone upstairs,
wait for me up there.
No, no, no. We...
We need to get
out of here, okay?
This isn't my life.
This isn't my life.
This isn't my life.
Okay.
Please be careful, okay?
I'll be fine.
Just take them upstairs,
-okay? Okay.
-[Sam] Okay.
[music continues]
[music continues]
-[loud thud]
-[gasps]
[loud thud]
I thought you said
Ethan was outside.
[Melody pants]
He was. I thought he was.
Just breathe, it's...
It's in your head,
it's... it's not real.
[Melody sighs]
Everything about that is real.
[Nolan] We need to get
the hell out of here now.
[thud]
-Sam, now.
-It's not real.
-Now!
-It's not real!
-[Melody] Sam!
-God, this is so stupid.
[music continues]
[Nolan] Okay, watch your step.
-It's not real.
-[Nolan] Yeah...
Oh, great.
Oh, God.
Just breathe.
-J... Just breathe.
-I can't see anything.
Okay, the flashlight. We... we
had the flashlight this morning.
It's all in the shelves. It's all in
the shelves. It's always there.
Careful. Oh, J... Jesus!
-H... Here!
-[Nolan] Hurry up.
What? [panting]
Hurry up.
Try...
I got it! I got it!
-[Nolan] Well, turn it on.
-[Sam] I...
[Nolan] Hurry up, Sam.
-It's not working.
-[Nolan] It's a flashlight.
There's one button, okay?
Hurry up.
-[Sam] I got it. [sighs]
-[flashlight clicks]
[eerie rumble]
[screaming]
Oh my God.
-Oh my God, he's alive.
-[Nolan] Are you okay, buddy?
-Oh, my God, he's...
-[Nolan] Ethan, talk to us, buddy.
-Hey, baby.
-Hey, talk to us, buddy.
Hey. Talk to us.
-[Melody] Okay, hey. What?
-[Ethan grunts]
-I can't hear you.
-What's he saying?
-Pockets...
-His p... His pockets.
Uh... Mel, check his pockets.
[keys jingle]
How does he have those?
What the hell is going on?
No...
No. No!
Hey, hey, where the hell are you
going, Sam?
Call the police.
You were right.
You were right.
Get them out of here!
-[heavy breathing]
-[music continues]
[keys jingle]
[panting]
Oh my God.
[crying]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
[panting]
The one by the river,
okay, just...
Get here as soon as you can.
-[both gasp]
-Babe, hey, hey. You okay?
Nolan was right. He's here.
Sam, what are you talking about?
Matthew, I was wrong.
-He's... He's not dead.
-Sam.
-He never left.
-What?
-Where did you get this?
-We need to call the police.
We need to call the police now.
It's not Matthew.
It's Ethan.
What?
-He's been playing us all along.
-[thud]
He got the files
from the police.
-He knew everything.
-No, I... I can't believe it.
I saw him outside.
It was him.
-Just now.
-[door lock opens]
[eerie rumble]
Matthew's dead.
-And...
-Yes.
-How?
-You heard Melody.
He came to them a few days ago
asking for money.
It was always about
money with Matthew.
Money.
He didn't care whose
lives he destroyed.
-As long as he got...
-Money.
Brady...
Why is your jacket
in the basement?
[music continues]
Wh... What?
Ethan...
Ethan clearly wanted to put
an end to all this insanity.
Brady...
Ethan is in the basement.
What are you doing
down here, Brady?
I found this set on the counter.
This other set.
I thought we'd lost one, but...
And you had a set when
you came in with dinner.
And here these are.
Just hiding in plain sight.
[Nolan] Threw mine in the river
on my 18th birthday.
You know, I read Matthew's file.
All the stuff that Sam
went through as a kid.
[sighs]
It was... heavy.
It was brutal.
You can talk to me, Brady.
Geez, I...
I completely understand
why you...
[punch thrown]
[eerie music]
[grunting]
[panting]
[Ethan grunts]
-[Ethan] I don't...
-[shushing]
[Ethan grunting]
I'm sorry.
[punch thrown]
[music fades lightly]
-[Sam] Matthew...
-He was there.
In our kitchen.
In our house.
[melancholic music]
I tried to sober him up.
Help him.
God, like we haven't tried to
help him enough.
[sobbing]
He kept telling me
that it was all your fault.
Going on and on, so I...
[thud]
It wasn't about money.
[Brady] He was never
going to let you go.
He wou...
He takes the most beautiful
things and just...
destroys them.
[sighs]
It is my fault.
I brought him into your life.
No...
-Sam... Sam, no...
-I'm responsible for all of this.
Sam!
Just...
I'm to blame for this, I'm...
No, you're not.
-[music continues]
-[police siren wailing]
It's okay.
It's okay.
I did it.
I killed him.
Because he was slowly
killing you.
[Brady] Nurture, I guess?
Why?
I think if you can...
Make that effort, that...
That sacrifice to...
build a good life for someone.
It'll be better for it.
-Brady, you don't have to do this.
-[Brady] I do.
It's okay.
I'm so sorry, Sam.

[knife clanks]
[music fades]
We've, uh...
Taken Mr. Harker into custody.
We'll get the rest of his
confession down at the station.
Ms. Miller, uh...
Melody...
Your fianc's been taken
to Memorial Hospital.
You can, uh...
get a squad car to drive you
down there right now,
if you'd like.
You should go.
Well, uh...
We'll be okay.
[door opens]
-Lies and liquor, huh?
-[door closes]
Hey.
Family tattoos?
[both] No.
Mel...
I know.
[door opens]
[door closes]
You know, last night
was the second time
I was accused
of stealing this thing.
B... Brady was maybe afraid
you were gonna hurt me.
So... Brady just left it for me.
[scoffs]
Placed it there, and... God I...
I thought I was losing it.
Mmm, it was maybe, uh...
He figured
me out of the picture...
it helped somehow.
You know?
Maybe.
[ring rattles]
How about you?
You gonna be okay?
[scoffs]
-Probably not.
-[Nolan] Mm-hmm.
But, um... I don't know.
-[Nolan] I...
-[sighs]
One foot in front of the other.
You know?
[melancholic music]
You know, I had this, uh...
This feeling...
that someone was always...
holding my hand.
Guiding me through it.
-I mean, Matthew...
-He would never.
[scoffs]
[Nolan] Yeah.
But Mom would.
[woman's voice] Sammy...
Yeah...
Why'd we never see her I wonder?
[sighs] I think we were
always looking
in all the wrong directions.
Even from the beginning.
Yeah.
[grunts]
You know, I cannot believe...
that you thought it was me.
[chuckles]
No, I didn't.
-Not really.
-Yeah.
You always hurt yourself
before anyone else.
No longer.
No longer

You had any sleeping?
A bit, you and that damn window.
It's not that cold.
Maybe, uh, sneak out
on work early tonight?
Mm, I can't, I'm meeting some
buyers this afternoon.
We could...
watch a movie, order
takeout, maybe a bottle of wine.
I can't, I'm slammed.
I'm gonna be late.
We'll find time, okay?
[soft music]
Uh, where's the...
-Oh, here.
-S...
Oh.
This is new, I...
I know, I thought
I grabbed a new one.
It was just, uh, you know.
[kiss]
-Briefcase!
-[husband] I know,
I'm not leaving just yet.
[sighs] Okay.

I think
you're buzzing over here.
Sam?
You left the patio door
open again.
[sighs]
Giles, don't worry about the
marketing materials, we...
[eerie rumble]
This is she.
Sure, um...
[music intensifies]
I understand.
Sam?
Sam!
Babe, it's burning.
[music increases, then halts]
Are you alright?
Uh...
Matthew...
[music continues]
There was the, um...
[clears throat]
-That was the police...
-What's happened?
He's dead.
[sighs]
Are you okay?
[sniffles]
It's over. [sighs]
Um...
I just need a...
I need a minute to...
Okay...
It's just a couple of days,
the cops want us there to...
-[door closes]
-Nolan, trust me, I know.
I'm supposed to be at work too,
but we have to be at the house...
Please.
-[door closes]
-I don't ask for a lot, okay?
[inaudible]
Okay, thank you.
How's he doing?
Well, he says
he's gonna be there.
-[husband] That's good.
-Are you sure you can take the time?
Yeah, stop. I just got back from
closing the deal in New York.
The least they can do
is give me a few days.
[melancholic music]
Together, right?
[Sam] Okay.
You need to bring that
thicket jacket
that I bought you?
'Cause you'll be cold.
I'm fine, babe. Honestly.
Let's just get there. Alright?
[car engine starts]
[suspenseful music]
[music fades]
Oh, shit.
[sighs]
Classy.
It's one.
Fifteen.
It's one-fifteen.
Well, thank you for clarifying.
Keys are gone.
-I already checked.
-[keys jingle]
I meant the spare, but...
[chuckles] Oh, Banker Laker.
[husband]
Always a pleasure, Nolan.
Mmm.
You alright?
Yeah.
Hey, you know what?
We should get the
-[indistinct]
-Yeah, I got it, I got it.
[ominous music]
Huh...
You know, we're always here
for funerals, huh?
True.
[music fades]
[thud]
[grunts]
[bottle clanking]
Seriously?
Hell, are you mom reincarnated?
Dead mom jokes, great.
We're on a roll.
[thud]
Happy?
Hey.
Hey.
-Thank you for coming.
-No, no, it's...
Okay.
Anytime.
Hey.
How come you have mom's set?
[Sam] Well, Matthew stole mine
a few years ago.
Where's yours?
You know.
Threw mine in the river
on my 18th birthday.
[chuckles]
Everything okay?
Yeah.
I'll go grab
the rest of the bags.
Thanks, babe.
-Thanks, babe.
-[slap]
[grunts] Ow, ow.
Keep drinking. It'll hurt less.
I have back pain.
Y... I was in the car accident.
What are you talking...
You crashed your car
into a tree,
and you're lucky you
didn't get a DOI.
That was, what, like,
five years ago?
-Mm, yeah.
-[chuckles]
I guess it did.
[Sam] Yeah.
Besides, you know
he actually likes you, right?
[door opens]
-[husband] Melody.
-[Melody] Hey.
What the...
What?
[indistinct]
What are you doing here?
Hello, Sam.
I'm sorry, do I need to
ask you again?
Just came here
to pay my respects.
-I know things are rough.
-[scoffs] You think?
You? Seriously?
What? [stutters] She's
technically his sister, too.
[both] Half.
See?
You guys agree on something.
[sighs] I do not
need this today.
Maybe I'll come back
a bit later.
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, you're here already.
Come in.
Yeah.
[both] Shoes!
Of course. Sorry.
Stop apologizing.
We are not an apology
type of family.
Families.
Whatever.
Wow.
Dad actually apologized once.
-For having me.
-Yeah, I got that one, too.
Uh, let me just say,
I'm not our father.
Oh, well, thank you for clearing
that up,
but you are the living
reminder of him.
Okay, how about a drink, huh?
-It's one.
-Fifteen.
Uh-huh. No, it's twenty.
It's one-twenty now.
-What?
-[Melody] No, thank you.
It's a very nice home.
[clears throat]
Never actually seen it before.
Right.
Just... Yeah, I mean,
it wouldn't really be
a good secret
family situation if...
-you'd have been here.
-[Melody] I get it,
-he you lied to us, too.
-Oh, happy to hear that.
Sounds like the foundation
for a fantastic family.
Mine's liquor.
Look, I'm... [sighs]
Not here to upset you, or...
[Sam] You? No.
But, uh, opening our door
in the dead of winter,
that upsets me.
[door rattles]
Ah, you... you have to
shove it hard, alright?
It's a old house. Doors stick.
[door thuds]
He was my brother, too.
[both] Half.
-[sniffs]
-[Melody] Really?
Just gonna do that
right in front of me?
I'll have you know that shrooms
are practically legal, okay?
Y... They're basically medicine.
You invited her.
Same as dad?
No, with milk, please.
Sorry, we're fresh out
in this house.
You'll have to take it
straight up.
[exhales deeply]
-Hey, man.
-[man] Hey.
Oh, you need help with that?
[husband] Oh, I'm good, thanks.
-[man] Let me get the trunk.
-[husband] Oh.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Listen...
I'm not exactly sure
what's being said
in there, but, uh...
it's a tough day. So I just
wanted to say that Sam...
-Sam doesn't mean to...
-Well,
she... she does a bit,
but it's okay.
-Yeah, well...
-[man] Look, I get it.
I'd be pissed, too, if my dad
had another family.
Yeah, I struggle
with the one wife.
Can't imagine
how their dad had two.
[both chuckle]
Geez.
But Mel... Mel is trying, though.
I... I hope you get that.
Oh, I do, yeah.
It's a kind of controversial
opinion, but
she liked Matthew,
or she tried to.
Yeah, well,
she's the only one, then.
[man] Yeah.
-[stutters]
-[husband] Thanks.
You know, always
the defense attorney, Mel.
She gets him out while you're
putting him away?
Yeah, we balance each other out,
I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
What are you doing?
Melody brought
her cop boyfriend.
Detective now, actually.
Okay, we are literally waiting
-for the cops.
-Guys, you know that's Mel.
-Please.
-They're coming here in, like, five minutes.
And he's my fianc now.
Oh.
[both] Congrats.
-[door opens]
-[Melody] Thank you.
-I was gonna invite you two...
-[Nolan] Hey!
Ethan, hey. Officer.
Long time.
-Ignore him.
-It's nice to see you, Nolan.
-Sam, how are you?
-Hey, great, did you leave the door open?
[husband] Sorry, kinda had my
hands full.
[Melody] Here, let me help.
[husband, muffled]
It's all right. I'm good.
[eerie music]
-[door slams]
-[music stops abruptly]
-Hi, woah.
-[gasps] Oh.
-You okay?
-Yeah, sorry,
I just, I... I didn't
really sleep well
-last night.
-Mm.
[knocking on door]
[soft groan]
Let's just get this
over with, okay?
-Yeah.
-Hey, um,
I'm sorry about...
Hey, no, no, no,
we don't...
do the apology thing.
Okay?
I got it.
[door lock opens]
Miss Miller?
Uh, yes, but I think you mean...
Me.
We spoke on the phone
this morning.
Yes, I, uh, I remember you since
you were about, ooh, this tall.
And your mother as well.
Um, we hear about you...
Brother.
[suspenseful music]
So we, uh, received a call
yesterday morning
about a vehicle submerged in the
lake that appeared to have gone
off the road.
As you can see...
I believe it was going at
quite some speed.
When we arrived on the scene,
we found a car
broken through the ice,
fully submerged
just below the surface.
Now, we called in a crew
to retrieve it,
but unfortunately, we won't be
able to get anyone down there
right now without the
proper equipment.
Wait, wait, wait. So...
he could still be alive?
Survive a crash like that
in this weather?
It's highly unlikely.
But we do have rangers searching
the surrounding area.
In the event he was ejected and
managed to somehow survive,
but, uh, so far...
nothing.
[Ethan] Are there any witnesses?
Your, uh, neighbor, Mr. Janz,
down the road called it in
after he noticed the
tear in the guardrail.
-And it was definitely him driving?
-Really?
Just saying some certainty
would be nice.
We... We're talking about...
I think I know what
we're talking about.
[stuttering] Wha...
Was it him or was it not?
Well, there's, um,
no cameras on that stretch road.
But we did run the plates,
and they came back
as belonging to a, uh,
Rosemary Miller, -[mouth along]
-along with a record of...
-Matthew stealing her car
when she was sick. Yeah.
Always him.
I was the one that reported it,
if you remember.
I think I told you
at the time that he took...
everything she had
when he started using again.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
That's him at the bottom
of the lake.
-That's him.
-Sam...
[suspenseful music continues]
You know, when our mom died,
[chuckles] we thought,
"What the hell harm could it
do in letting him keep the car?"
[door slams]
[scoffs]
-It's just...
-Nolan.
Listen, I... I'm aware
there's history here,
and I can
certainly empathize that this
is a difficult situation
all around.
But if you could provide
something to help us
I.D. the body,
that'd be much appreciated.
Okay, so...
why don't you just use pictures?
Mm? I... I mean,
I'm sure you have some
mugshots already in that file.
Right?
I mean, that is, of course,
if you don't just
recognize him yourself.
I think what he's
trying to say is...
if the condition
of the deceased is
not exactly...
Right, right. [stutters]
His face is bashed in, or
if he was
eaten away by wildlife, right?
[scoffs] No.
Come on, man.
They're trying to help us here.
[Nolan scoffs] Help, right.
[chuckles]
Well, what about the ring?
[officer] The ring?
Yeah, I mean, the one he... he
stole off Sam when she was 12.
He never takes that off.
[officer]
What does it look like?
Just some basic gold band...
from both of our parents.
When my dad left,
he left it, and she wore it
growing up.
Jackass stole it off of her.
Wore it in front of her
every day.
Mom, she, uh...
[music continues]
[grunts]
Ah...
Well, that, uh,
definitely helps.
Thank you.
I think we've taken up more than
enough of your time.
Uh, you mind if I ask you
a question?
You... You said that the equipment
team is coming in from the city.
If there's any plans to have any
divers go out there as well...
Thank you.
Yeah, it's gonna
take a couple of days.
Different apartment,
as you know.
But, yeah, we've asked.
We'll get you some answers as,
uh... as soon as possible.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[Nolan] Wow.
That was a blast.
Well, look on the bright side...
At least we know
the karma's real.
[scoffs]
Which...
[sighs] means that I'm screwed.
What was he thinking?
Does he ever think?
Did.
Right.
He does... [sighs] I guess he...
he didn't. [scoffs]
I don't even know why I care.
[Nolan] Hey.
We don't care.
Right.
[sighs] I hate this place.
Yeah, me too.
[door opens]
Is... Is it cool if I...
I just want to apologize.
-I didn't mean to...
-It's fine. It's already forgotten.
[sighs] I just can't believe it.
You know,
I just saw him a few days ago.
-He seemed...
-Probably asking for money, right?
Yeah, I don't think...
Maybe.
-Right.
-He could be kind, you know?
I mean, didn't he love animals?
[chuckles]
Love ani...
-[chuckles]
-I mean,
he... he killed Captain Beaky.
-[Melody] Excuse me?
-Our bird.
-Oh, and Wyclef.
-Yeah, uh... uh, lizard.
Oh, and, ugh,
remember what did
to Foxy and Cottontail?
-That was just...
-[Nolan] Oh, no, no, no.
He... Technically,
he didn't kill them.
You see, remember Cottontail
had flipped on Flopsy?
[laughs] Yeah...
Brutal murder-suicide
thing, right?
-[Sam] It's a little bit on the nose.
-[Nolan] Yeah,
yeah, well, a little bit.
Okay, I get it.
You know, we're all in pain.
[grunts]
[clears throat] Okay.
Listen.
Melody or, I'm sorry.
Mel.
I really appreciate... I mean, we
really appreciate that you drove
all the way out here
to our, what did you call it?
Um...
"Very nice home"
and all, but, um, please
remember that it is just that.
Our home.
Okay. Got it.
-This was a mistake.
-[Sam] Yeah.
You have to shove the door,
remember?
Oh, I got it. It...
[door thuds]
[Ethan] Desperately needs
a quarter pound...
Ethan, can we...
Hey, sweetheart.
I was just helping...
-Now?
-[husband] Everything okay?
Yeah, we're staying in town, so
if the police call...
Uh... We'll let you know. Sure.
Hey.
Why don't you stay for lunch?
It's nice to see you, Brady.
-You too.
-I gotta go.
Hey, thanks for taking the lead
with the detective.
Yeah, you know, it's good for us
all to be on the same page.
-I'll talk to Sam.
-[Ethan] Appreciate it.
[sighs]
[ominous music]
[water splashing]
You have to understand.
She means well.
-[indistinct]
-Babe, I can't.
[indistinct]
Just so you know,
I got none of that.
Okay.
It's just plain ignorant.
I mean, Matthew comes to her for
money once, and she thinks
she has any idea what it's like
to be in my family.
Okay, okay, but...
Melod... Mel...
She's actually showing up
for you and...
Oh, please,
she's here for herself.
I've met her, what, like,
five times in my entire life.
And that's her fault?
[Sam] Whose side are you on?
[sighs]
I thought this might actually
bring you together.
Just don't push her away like...
Like who?
She's not the bad guy here.
Yeah, no, I got that.
-[Brady] That's not what I meant to say.
-Yeah, thanks!
-[Brady] Not... [grunts]
-[sighs]
[Brady sighs]
[knocking on door]
[sighs]
[melancholic music]
I wasn't talking about you,
you know that.
You are not him.
Babe?
Yeah?
I love you, okay?
Yeah?
Yeah?
[chuckles] Okay, I love you too.
[loud thud]
Oh.. Jesus.
-[scoffs]
-What's he doing now?
-Welcome to my life.
-Yeah.
[chair drags]
[music fades]
[door opens]
[Sam] I think you're right
about the house.
Yeah.
It's time, well, past time.
I think I'm gonna
take a bath, okay?
Okay.
Just try to relax.
[scoffs] Yeah, like that's
gonna happen. Go!
Okay.

Oh, come on...
[groans]
Hey.
Do you believe in nature?
Or nurture?
Not now, man. Come on.
Can we just... [inhales sharply]
Please, just get inside.
Come on.
[Nolan] Oh, it is a pickle.
Oh, the conundrum
of my whole goddamn life.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[Brady] I don't know.
Nurture, I guess.
Hmm.
Yeah, I used to think like that.
[scoffs]
Hey.
Guess I'm screwed
either way, huh?
Come on. Let's just
get out of the corridor.
[distant creaking]
Oh. Easy, easy.
-Oh. Hey...
-Easy. Easy.
-[Brady] Alright.
-Easy, easy, yeah.
[Nolan sighs]
[groans]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[melancholic music]
You're not, uh...
Have you been okay...
about that?
Are you, uh,
cheating on my sister?
No, th... that's not
what we're...
No, never.
Look... [sighs]
I... I'm not asking for you
to open up to me or
to let me...
you know, be a...
brother or something...
Oh, I'm... I'm okay at most.
Yeah.
You can say that again.
[Nolan] Wait, so...
so you... you heard a
couple stories and... and...
and now you know
everything, yeah?
No.
I just know enough to know
it wasn't your fault.
Wow, that...
Thank you for... for that.
What he did, I just...
[door opens]
-Brady?
-[door closes]
[suspenseful music]
[music continues]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[eerie rumble]
[heavy breathing]
[grunting loudly]
-[heavy breathing]
-[music intensifies]
[eerie rumble]
[music fades]
[indistinct stutter]
[music continues]
No, don't.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please, just don't.
[muffled scream]
Nolan...
[whimpering]
[music increases]
-[Nolan screaming]
-Nolan!
[Sam whimpering]
[Nolan grunting]
Nolan!
Help me!
[Sam] Nolan!
[music increases, then halts]
[panting]
[Nolan screaming]
[Brady] Nolan!
-[Nolan] Somebody, help!
-[Brady] Sam!
-[music continues]
-[Nolan screaming]
[muffled child screaming] Mom!
Mom!
[Nolan] Help!
[indistinct muffled screaming]
[Nolan screaming]
[kid] Help me!
[woman] What did you do?
[Nolan screaming]
[sobbing]
[Nolan screaming]
[sobbing]
[Brady] Look at me.
Nolan, hey, hey, just breathe.
-Breathe! Relax!
-No, no! [stutters] It hurts. I'm bleeding.
Relax, nothing's wrong. Breathe!
Where?
There's... there's no blood.
-[Nolan] No, no, no.
-Nolan, there's no blood.
[panting]
[door creaking]
[man whispering] Hey, Sam.
Oh, no, no, no, y...
What are you trying to do, man?
-[stuttering] My arms...
-Freak us all out?
[stuttering] They were bleeding.
-Okay, listen.
-[stuttering]
-I'm not...
-Listen, this is not the time.
I'm... I'm not trying
to be funny, okay?
I'm... Brady!
[Nolan stuttering]
I'm sorry, okay?
[indistinct]
[grunting]
[music continues]
[panting]
I... Just a bad dream.
[music increases, then halts]
[door closes]
[Brady] He's just messed up.
I tried talking to him, but he's
just off in his own head.
[panting]
Hey, it's okay.
[melancholic music]
It's not happening again.
He was just tripping out.
[sniffles]
Okay?
Okay.
Hey...
This isn't our life anymore.
It'll all be over
in a couple of days.
Okay?
[mouthing] Okay.
[subbing]
Okay?
Okay.
Let's just get ready for bed.
You'll feel better, okay?
-Okay.
-Alright.
-Okay.
-Okay.
[heavy breathing]
[Brady]
I'll be back in a bit, okay?
Okay.
[Brady] Okay.
[music continues]
[sobbing]
This isn't my life anymore.
[sighs]
[groans]
This isn't my life anymore.
[sighs]
I can't believe they gave you
a copy of those.
-[Ethan] Yeah, brothers in Blue and all that.
-Mm...
-Anything?
-[Ethan] Everything.
DUI, assault and battery theft.
How much of this
did you know about?
Little.
What blows my mind is he never
did any jail time.
That was Dad.
I... I thought he wanted nothing
to do with them.
Th... Those three, I mean.
He threw a lot of money at it.
Just to keep them all away.
Pay, I guess.
-Yeah.
-He got him a good lawyer.
George Richards.
-Th... The guy that got the...
-[Melody] Hartford Killer off.
-Yeah. Wow.
-[Melody] Mm-hmm.
Geez.
Well, I get it. I do.
He's troubled.
He was troubled.
Yeah, he was.
[Melody] It's just weird,
you know?
Just...
After years of drugs and neglect
and all kinds of shit, I mean,
this is how he dies?
Skidding off a road?
[sighs]
He was probably high.
Right.
Guess I was just expecting
a different call.
He was your brother.
-Half.
-[Ethan] Uh... He was your brother.
-He was your brother.
-Where was I?
Maybe Sam's right.
Maybe I am like dad.
Come on. You...
you are not like him,
and you know that.
This is...
This is not just a mean sibling.
This is violence, theft, abuse.
Yeah, Matthew
was nice to you, but...
could you imagine
living with this?
Growing up in the same house
with this?
That's different.
I understand why Sam and Nolan
didn't exactly
want to let anybody in.
But Matthew was the only one
who let me in.
[dramatic music]
See?
Yeah, I see.
[wind howling]
[water running]
[Sam] Okay, thank you, thanks.
[cellphone beeps]
[music fades]
No, no, no, no, no.
Leave it, leave it, please.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Okay, so we're still
upset, I see.
-[Brady] Good morning.
-Coffee's on the side.
Oh, thanks.
Who was that on the phone?
-Officer Stanton.
-Oh, yeah?
Yeah, they're bringing the car
up today, supposedly.
That's good.
Yeah, if he's dead.
The sooner we know,
the sooner we all
can get back to our
lives, and...
Well, I'm gonna head into town,
take care of a few
things, and I've got
a work call, so...
[Sam] Okay.
You good?
-Yeah.
-[kiss]
You good?
[Nolan] Never been better.
No more bad trips.
Well, the day is still young.
[Brady] I'll be back soon.
What do you see in that guy?
Look, I'm...
I'm sorry that I didn't...
You know, I know.
It's... It's fine.
Yeah, but it's okay if it's not.
Nolan... it's fine, honestly.
[ominous music]
Look, Sam, I, um...
It was like I was back
in that room.
-Please, Nolan.
-[indistinct]
Please.
[music fades]
Are you good now?
-[Nolan] Yup.
-Okay, good.
Okay, then.
[vehicle approaching]
You came back.
[Melody] Ooh, gotten
for punishment, I guess.
That's what families are for.
I thought it was
lies and liquor.
-[chuckles]
-Yeah, well...
We need that too.
-Yeah.
-[Brady] Ethan.
Brady.
Well, it's kinda cold out here.
We should go inside.
Yeah, I got a couple of errands.
-[Ethan] Okay, see you in a bit?
-Yeah, see you in a bit.
-Door's open.
-[Ethan] Thanks.
[suspenseful music]
[Ethan muffled] Mel?
Honey?
-Sorry.
-That would be.
-[Melody] Yeah.
-[indistinct]
-[Ethan] I got it.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-Morning.
Have you...
Did you guys sleep
much last night?
Not really.
I... I'm just gonna go change.
-I'll be down in a few.
-[Melody] Sounds good.
There's coffee in the pot.
[inhales deeply]
And, uh, there's milk now.
In the fridge.
Thank you.
Progress.
Good morning, Nolan.
[Nolan]
Hey, morning, officer, uh...
Detective.
[heavy breathing]
[eerie rumble]
Uh, Mel, you want coffee, right?
Yes, please.
Did something happen?
You know what, man?
Uh, don't bother, uh...
You wouldn't believe me
if I told you.
No, come on, try me.
Well, I think...
I saw something.
Someone moving around
in the woods, I...
I... I'm telling you, that...
[music continues]
This was last night?
[Nolan] Yeah, yeah.
Like, s... something
is out there, okay?
I... I swear to God, okay?
Out in the woods.
Okay, but none of you
were out there last night.
Positive. I... I saw it
from the dock, so...
Did Brady see it, too, or did
you tell him about it, or...
[Nolan] I get it, man.
-It seem banker-wanker.
-Oh, that's not what I'm saying.
Okay, well, look. Maybe
I was a little tipsy.
-[door closes]
-But I know what I saw.
What did you see?
I... I don't know, okay?
But... but something
was out there.
What could it be?
I don't know. It... It was dark,
okay? Nighttime.
That's not uncommon for
hallucinations,
-I mean...
-It was not a hallucination.
-Trust me.
-Okay.
Pretty familiar with those.
Let's just try
and let him explain.
What are we talking about here?
Stuff in the woods.
You know, people or animals
around the house, right?
I'm just saying, with everything
that's happening,
would it hurt to check
the grounds or the perimeter?
Check the perimeter?
I mean, what are
we thinking, foul play?
For me?
Please.
Of course. Yes.
Okay.
And... And you're sure nobody
went out there today?
-[thuds]
-Okay. Great.
[door closes]
[music fades]
[music restarts]
[rustling]
Checking the perimeter.
[lighter clicks]
[eerie rumble]
[man, muffled] Help me.
Somebody help me, please!
[music intensifying]
[door closes]
[music fades]
You alright?
I'm fine.
And last night?
It wasn't the shrooms.
Well, drugs can sometimes...
Okay.
I believe you.
[sighs] Yeah.
Hey.
I don't know, it...
It's happening again.
This... This is ex...
This is exactly what he does.
You know, he... He gets in,
he puts his claws into you,
and then you
can't get rid of him, he...
Who?
[suspenseful music]
He's not dead, Mel.
I... I know it.
[Melody] Nolan.
[Nolan] You know, he...
He made me do this when I...
when I... I was 12.
[sighs]
Losers, they...
they don't deserve to...
-That's not true.
-Yeah? Well, what part?
Hm?
Has his claws into you too?
He hurts people, Mel.
Okay? He... He gets in,
he makes you feel for him, and
then... then he's just there.
Okay? He's... He's this thing.
He's this...
this unshakable thing.
Okay?
[music fades]
Okay, this is pointless.
[wood creaks]
[eerie music]
[creaking]
What the...
[wood creaks]
[music intensifies]
[wood creaks]
[music fades]
[wood creaks]
Is that what
happened last night?
Did you try
to hurt yourself again?
-[Nolan] No, I...
-Can we not with this today?
[Melody] Is there anyone else
you could have seen?
-'Cause Matthew wasn't here...
-Okay, Melody...
No, no, guys,
look, I'm just tryna'
tell you what
I'm feeling, okay, and...
and what I'm seeing.
Okay, you need to just stop
and take a breath, okay?
Why are you asking
him about this?
Why are you talking
to her about this?
Because you don't talk about
anything ever.
Okay, well, I... I just can't
with this today.
-I can't.
-Exactly.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Silence Sam.
Well, I am only silent
because
I know that talking to you
means this!
God, I'm... I'm just, I'm so sick
of your bullshit and having to
drag you back
to reality every single time.
Right.
Well, am I wrong?
[scoffs]
You know, Matthew
was the villain,
but you were just as good
at playing the victim.
And why?
Why would you talk
to her about this?
I think emotions
are running high.
And why is
the goddamn door open?
-[door slams]
-[eerie rumble]
[sighs]
I don't think the issue
is with the door.
Okay, well, obviously not.
[sighs] Okay, you know what?
I have tried.
I have tried
literally everything
to get both of you to let me in.
You are standing in
our mother's kitchen.
What more do you want from us,
exactly?
Family?
Yeah, well...
dad's all dead now, so, uh...
And I don't think our mother
would have welcomed you
into her home,
even if she was still here.
What do you think?
[door opens]
[suspenseful music]
[door closes]
[Ethan] Hey, Mel,
have you seen my file?
There we go.
[dial tone ringing]
[suspenseful music]
Officer Stanton, it's
Ethan Brock from yesterday.
I... I think I have an update
in the Miller case.
It could be nothing,
it could be something.
What's going on?
Well, I was doing a walk
on the property
and I noticed
some additional fresh
footprints out by the river.
I can't speak to the timing,
but I've been told that
nobody else has
been out there, right?
There's what out there?
I told you, I told you.
It couldn't be anything.
[Ethan] But definitely
boot prints, yeah.
But I just can't say
who's or when.
Of course, of course.
Well, well,
if you have a moment,
I'll swing back and take a look.
Okay, great, thank you.
What's going on?
I don't think no one
was seeing things.
Somebody has been here.
-What?
-Somebody's been out there
-recently.
-See?
[Ethan] I mean, it's just
a set of footprints.
-Keys.
-What, the spare keys?
-What about them?
-I... It's, um...
No, no, it... it was gone
when we arrived.
Okay, alright, let me think.
But Matthew, he... he could've
just taken them before he...
He is here, okay?
He's been here
the whole time and I've
been trying
to tell all of you this.
[Ethan] Let's not jump to
conclusions.
No, I... I'm gone. This is nuts.
It's just a set of footprints,
Nolan.
It... it doesn't
prove anything yet.
Uh... you can't go anywhere.
We have to be here
because the... the cops...
Stay here to do what?
-Find out if he's alive?
-He is not alive.
And how do you know that, huh?
I ju...
[music continues]
-I just know, okay?
-Okay.
Aren't we supposed to stay until
the cops are done?
For what? Until Brady's
done trying to
sell the family home?
Oh, he... he had to go to town
to handle business, right?
I mean, the guy can't cover
a lie to save his life.
And then God forbid
that we discuss
what we're actually
here for, right, Sam?
Because you can't
sell this place
-if he's still here, can you?
-[music fades]
Nolan, the divers are doing
their job right now.
Key or no key,
we'll know tonight.
-Latest tomorrow.
-It's just one more night here.
I'm not staying
here another night.
[Ethan] Well, we'll stay.
Yeah? I'll stay.
I... I'll do the rounds,
I'll check the doors.
You'll be safe here, I promise.
You don't need to do that.
We'd love to, it's not a problem
if it'll help
or if you'll have us.
Yeah.
[dramatic ominous music]
[sighs]
[music turns melancholic]
Oh, of course.
[thud]
[gasp]
[Melody] You alright?
-Y... Yeah.
-[Melody] Sam?
[sighs] Yeah.
[Melody] Let me help.
Sorry, the accommodations
aren't the best.
It's just the sofas are better.
We got rid of the bed
in my old room, and it's...
I get it,
it wouldn't feel right.
Matthew's room, well, that's...
Honestly, the sofa is fine.
Thank you.
You know, I get why
you don't wanna
engage and get into
it with Nolan.
I really do.
Must have been awful.
[sighs] What do you mean?
Finding him like that.
You were what, 11?
10, but, um...
-I didn't, uh...
-I'm sorry.
Whether we do apologies
or not, I really am.
You don't need to be.
I'm the one who's sorry.
I really am.
[melancholic music]
[thuds and clanking]
[music turns suspenseful]
[indistinct whispers]
Hello?
[music turns eerie]
[gasps]
[eerie rumble]
[electricity whirring]
[knocking on door]
-[Melody] Hello?
-[knocking on door]
-Sam? Hello?
-[music increases]
-What is going on?
-I don't know.
-[music fades]
-You're okay. Mel.
[scoffs]
What's with everybody today?
[suspenseful music]
I'm sure the door just stuck.
It's an old house, right?
And the light bulb. I mean,
who knows? A lot of times...
I know, I know, I know.
It just felt... weird.
I get it.
It's the tension in the air,
alright?
Look, take the win with Sam.
Don't punish yourself
about this, or
let the paranoia rub off on you.
-[Melody] You're right.
-Ah, on occasion, I can be.
-.Mm-hmm.
-[Brady] Pizza delivery. [indistinct]
-And he's here to help, too, okay?
-Yes, you're right again.
Pizza? Did he say pizza?
Oh, wow, thank you.
Ooh... Nice.
-Can we help?
-Oh, no, you're good.
Take it easy.
-[Ethan] Take it easy.
-Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-You need to wait.
-Oh, come on.
Wait.
What? Nolan will be down in like
two minutes.
[Sam screaming] Nolan!
Dinner!
[grunts]
Sorry it took me so long.
The roads are closing
left and right out there.
That's alright.
How was the meeting?
Uh... good.
Oh, they know, by the way.
-Nolan, too.
-Oh.
Okay, well, the good news is
they think it'll go fast once
-we're all ready, of course. Thanks.
-Okay.
-[suspenseful music]
-[water splashing]
[Sam] Nolan!
[sighs] Oh, fuck.
[sighs]
-Oh, napkins.
-[Ethan] Oh, we got them right here.
Mel was trying to steal them,
but I caught her.
-Okay, detective, calm down.
-[chuckles]
[water splashes]
[sighs]
[water splashes]
[eerie rumble]
[heavy breathing]
[Sam] Nolan!
-This is ridiculous.
-You know what?
-Let's just start.
-We can wait.
-It's about time.
-Honestly, you'll be waiting forever, just...
[Ethan] Totally fine, yeah.
I'll get the wine right now.
[music continues]
[music increases]
[rattling]
[Sam] Nolan!
What the hell?
[Sam] Nolan!
[Nolan] Yeah, I'll come down
in a second.
-[clears throat]
-[Ethan] Should we check on him?
He's a toddler.
[music continues]
[bottle thuds]
What the hell?
No...
[Sam] Nolan!
There's no way.
[music fades]
There you are.
H... Here I am. Yeah, ready?
-Me?
-Okay, what... what is wrong with you?
Why are you acting weird?
Did you take something?
No, I just... No.
Ethan told me you got
a promotion.
-[Ethan] Oh.
-Mmm. I'm just up for it.
I mean, if I did
get a promotion,
it would just mean
more important cases
and maybe on track for partner.
Youngest in the firm.
[Melody] Stop it, it would
just be more work.
I'm proud of my fianc.
Well, that's amazing.
Right, Sam?
Uh, yeah, amazing.
Nice to finally be celebrating
something in this house.
S... Sorry, babe, but you have to
admit, it's been a lot of, uh...
-Shit.
-Shit!
Exactly. Since, well...
-We were born?
-[Brady] Wow.
Are we actually agreeing on
something, Nolan?
Hmm, looks like it.
Well, cheers.
-Cheers.
-Haven't gotten anything.
[Ethan] Even in the bad,
you have to celebrate.
Okay, what is going on with you?
Can you just come out with it?
[suspenseful music]
What?
[ring rattles]
-Where did you get that?
-Is that...
-[Ethan] Where'd you find that?
-[Nolan] I... I don't know.
-Okay, that's not funny.
-[Nolan] It wasn't...
-Nolan...
-[stutters] I... I found it, okay?
-Where did you find it?
-He didn't find it.
-He probably had it.
-[Nolan] No!
I think we need to calm down.
Okay, why do you have that?
[stuttering]
Just listen to me, okay?
I... I found it in... in a bottle.
It was placed in a bottle.
-What bottle?
-Let's take a breath here.
-What the hell did you do, Nolan?
-Jesus Christ.
-Wait, I didn't do anything.
-Stop lying.
-Why are you doing this?
-I didn't do anything, okay?
I found the ring!
[knocking on door]
Who the hell's that?
It's the officers.
-Shit. No, just... just hold on.
-Good.
We have to give them this.
-[Melody] Okay.
-What are you doing?
We don't have to give this
to them until we can
figure out where it came from.
-What?
-Plus, we don't know that Matthew
-was wearing it when he died.
-Jesus Christ.
He could have been in the house.
You said so yourself.
-He could have found the spare key.
-[Nolan] Listen to me, okay?
Look, hand on my heart, okay?
I... I found it, okay?
I wouldn't lie about something
like that, Sam.
I don't know, Mel.
I believe him.
Let's take a beat.
Hear what the police
have to say.
We'll revisit this once
they leave, yes?
Okay?
-Fine.
-Fine.
But if I find out it was you who
put us all through this, I
-promise you...
-But, Brady, just, let's just...
-[knocking on door]
-I'll go.
I got it.
-[Brady] Officer Stanton. Thanks for coming.
-[Stanton] Brady.
[music fades]
Oh, apologies. We didn't mean
to interrupt your dinner.
[Melody] It's okay.
You have an update for us?
We managed to pull the car from
the lake today.
We, uh...
we still don't have a body.
-No body?
-[suspenseful music]
How is that even possible?
Well, we did, uh,
find the windows open,
so there is a slight chance
that Mr. Miller might have
been conscious after the impact
and managed to swim out,
but, uh...
Uh, son, are you okay?
I... I told you he was alive,
okay?
-I... I told you!
-Enough!
[Stanton] Look, I'm not trying
to give anyone
the wrong impression
here, alright?
Fact of the matter is,
the ice sheet alone
would have prevented anyone
from getting out.
And even if he did, well, we've
completed a pretty thorough
search of the surrounding area.
We've turned up nothing.
Not a single track,
not a drop of blood,
nothing to indicate
that anyone survived.
What about the... the footprints
I told you about?
What you think of those?
Oh, yes, the footprints.
This is a small town,
and as these two both know
from growing up
kids get bored.
Besides, this place is miles
from that bridge.
[Melody] Just kids?
I think it's quite the
coincidence, don't you think?
A house like this left empty?
Pretty attractive for young
people who wanna find a place
just to sit around
and smoke and party.
What I'm thinking of is
maybe there's someone you
Millers are forgetting about.
Someone you might have slighted
or made an enemy of.
Somebody might be, uh, want to
play games, try and scare you.
I mean, like other than Matthew,
you mean, or...?
[sighs]
Look, there really is no cause
for alarm here, alright?
I know y'all
are looking for answers,
and I really wish
I had some news
to offer some kind of closure.
But all I can tell you is, we're
gonna keep dragging the lake,
and we'll keep you updated.
We'll find the body.
I think, uh, it's about time
I let y'all
get back to dinner now.
Son, you, uh,
you sure you're okay?
You just told him that his
brother's body is still missing.
What do you expect from him?
[music continues]
Have yourself a good night.
[music increases, then halts]
[Ethan] Okay, I'll start.
The ring.
Now, it is quite likely
that Matthew wasn't wearing it,
that he... he could've
left it at home.
Sure, and Nolan could have
found it here and just forgot.
[Ethan] Right, right.
He found it while
he was messed up.
He plopped it into his bottle
for whatever reason,
forgot about it.
[sighs] I c... I can't do this.
I can't do this.
-Sam.
-I just need a minute.
Okay.
The blankets are
in the laundry room.
We got it. Go.
[Sam] And you know what? [sighs]
My brother wouldn't... Mm.
Nolan.
He didn't do this.
Hey, thanks for being here.
Almost had five full minutes
of normalcy.
-It was kind of...
-Nice.
-Yeah, almost.
-Yeah.
We'll clean up.
Why don't you go be with her?
-Yeah.
-You sure?
Yeah.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Thanks.
Front door's locked.
Yeah, I... I'll get there back
whenever he gets back in.
Yeah, don't,
uh, hold your breath.
[chuckles] Yeah. I'll wait up.
Alright. Night, then.
Night.
Night-night.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[suspenseful music]
[music increases]
[music continues]
You're not gonna leave, are you?
[screaming] Are you?
Blood for blood, then, huh?
You're me and I'm you!
Is that it, brother?
Well, come on, then!
Come on and get me.
[light switch clicks]
[music fades]
Can we keep it closed?
Yeah, of course.
[sighs]
Yeah.
[sighs]
Hey...
[kiss]
It'll all be over soon, okay?
[soft chuckle]
Okay.
Okay.
-Good night, baby.
-Good night.
[kiss]
[light switch clicks]
[whispers] Goodnight.
Ta-da!
What?
I've, uh, just been
thinking all day.
Yeah?
You know, I always thought
it was dad.
Like, him, his shit, his anger,
hurting both families,
no matter the cost.
Maybe he had to get away
from all this.
-Mel...
-[Melody] Uh... Not them.
Him, Matthew.
-[sighs]
-It... just feels like
he's standing in the middle of
the family, holding a grenade
with a pin pulled,
and everyone's
just trying not to get blown up.
Hey, hey, hey.
He's not here.
Nobody's dropping any grenades.
He doesn't have to be.
The explosion's still coming.

[man crying]
Ma... Matty...
-Sam, Sam, Sam... Hey, hey.
-[music fades]
-What's going on?
-I should've... [stutters]
I should've told someone,
because I knew.
I... I had to have known.
No, no, no. That's...
that's not on you, okay?
-It's... It's not.
-And then you, too.
You tried to leave me, too.
No, no, hey, hey, listen.
That was me, okay?
I... I was... I was trying
to leave... leave me, okay?
Not... Not you.
Okay?
But, I should've talked to him.
-Sam...
-Why didn't I talk to him?
Because we were...
we were kids, okay?
You were a kid.
He's...
[sobbing]
He... He never wanted
to talk to us, okay?
He... he only wanted to...
to hurt us...
okay? And we...
we let him in, we...
We all let him in.
Okay?
-[Melody] Ethan!
-[eerie music]
-I'll go.
-No, wait, wait.
I... I, um...
I saw... I saw Matthew before,
and I keep seeing him.
-He was right there, and I...
-[Nolan] That... Okay.
-[stuttering]
-[Nolan shushing]
[Nolan]
Okay, come here, come here.
Ethan!
Ethan...
Ethan!
[music increases]
[door slams]
[heavy breathing] Come on...
Come on. Stop this...
[door rattles]
Stop this!
Let me in.
[panting]
-It's okay. You're okay.
-He's not dead!
-I saw him.
-You...
[sobbing]
[door creaks]
Hey, Sam, Sam, Sam, we... we're
gonna get going right now, okay?
You need to come with me.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go. Come on.
-Let's go. Come on.
-[Sam] Okay.
Breathe, just breathe.
Sit down, sit down. You're okay.
-Where's Ethan?
-We don't know,
-I'll go find him. I'm sure he's outside.
-No, no, please.
You remember what the police
said. It's just kids, okay?
Ethan probably heard them
and went looking.
I'll go check it out,
and we'll all be fine.
-Okay, but...
-This has gone on long enough.
-Okay, but...
-Just lock the door behind me.
Get upstairs, wait for me, okay?
Okay? Everyone upstairs,
wait for me up there.
No, no, no. We...
We need to get
out of here, okay?
This isn't my life.
This isn't my life.
This isn't my life.
Okay.
Please be careful, okay?
I'll be fine.
Just take them upstairs,
-okay? Okay.
-[Sam] Okay.
[music continues]
[music continues]
-[loud thud]
-[gasps]
[loud thud]
I thought you said
Ethan was outside.
[Melody pants]
He was. I thought he was.
Just breathe, it's...
It's in your head,
it's... it's not real.
[Melody sighs]
Everything about that is real.
[Nolan] We need to get
the hell out of here now.
[thud]
-Sam, now.
-It's not real.
-Now!
-It's not real!
-[Melody] Sam!
-God, this is so stupid.
[music continues]
[Nolan] Okay, watch your step.
-It's not real.
-[Nolan] Yeah...
Oh, great.
Oh, God.
Just breathe.
-J... Just breathe.
-I can't see anything.
Okay, the flashlight. We... we
had the flashlight this morning.
It's all in the shelves. It's all in
the shelves. It's always there.
Careful. Oh, J... Jesus!
-H... Here!
-[Nolan] Hurry up.
What? [panting]
Hurry up.
Try...
I got it! I got it!
-[Nolan] Well, turn it on.
-[Sam] I...
[Nolan] Hurry up, Sam.
-It's not working.
-[Nolan] It's a flashlight.
There's one button, okay?
Hurry up.
-[Sam] I got it. [sighs]
-[flashlight clicks]
[eerie rumble]
[screaming]
Oh my God.
-Oh my God, he's alive.
-[Nolan] Are you okay, buddy?
-Oh, my God, he's...
-[Nolan] Ethan, talk to us, buddy.
-Hey, baby.
-Hey, talk to us, buddy.
Hey. Talk to us.
-[Melody] Okay, hey. What?
-[Ethan grunts]
-I can't hear you.
-What's he saying?
-Pockets...
-His p... His pockets.
Uh... Mel, check his pockets.
[keys jingle]
How does he have those?
What the hell is going on?
No...
No. No!
Hey, hey, where the hell are you
going, Sam?
Call the police.
You were right.
You were right.
Get them out of here!
-[heavy breathing]
-[music continues]
[keys jingle]
[panting]
Oh my God.
[crying]
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
[panting]
The one by the river,
okay, just...
Get here as soon as you can.
-[both gasp]
-Babe, hey, hey. You okay?
Nolan was right. He's here.
Sam, what are you talking about?
Matthew, I was wrong.
-He's... He's not dead.
-Sam.
-He never left.
-What?
-Where did you get this?
-We need to call the police.
We need to call the police now.
It's not Matthew.
It's Ethan.
What?
-He's been playing us all along.
-[thud]
He got the files
from the police.
-He knew everything.
-No, I... I can't believe it.
I saw him outside.
It was him.
-Just now.
-[door lock opens]
[eerie rumble]
Matthew's dead.
-And...
-Yes.
-How?
-You heard Melody.
He came to them a few days ago
asking for money.
It was always about
money with Matthew.
Money.
He didn't care whose
lives he destroyed.
-As long as he got...
-Money.
Brady...
Why is your jacket
in the basement?
[music continues]
Wh... What?
Ethan...
Ethan clearly wanted to put
an end to all this insanity.
Brady...
Ethan is in the basement.
What are you doing
down here, Brady?
I found this set on the counter.
This other set.
I thought we'd lost one, but...
And you had a set when
you came in with dinner.
And here these are.
Just hiding in plain sight.
[Nolan] Threw mine in the river
on my 18th birthday.
You know, I read Matthew's file.
All the stuff that Sam
went through as a kid.
[sighs]
It was... heavy.
It was brutal.
You can talk to me, Brady.
Geez, I...
I completely understand
why you...
[punch thrown]
[eerie music]
[grunting]
[panting]
[Ethan grunts]
-[Ethan] I don't...
-[shushing]
[Ethan grunting]
I'm sorry.
[punch thrown]
[music fades lightly]
-[Sam] Matthew...
-He was there.
In our kitchen.
In our house.
[melancholic music]
I tried to sober him up.
Help him.
God, like we haven't tried to
help him enough.
[sobbing]
He kept telling me
that it was all your fault.
Going on and on, so I...
[thud]
It wasn't about money.
[Brady] He was never
going to let you go.
He wou...
He takes the most beautiful
things and just...
destroys them.
[sighs]
It is my fault.
I brought him into your life.
No...
-Sam... Sam, no...
-I'm responsible for all of this.
Sam!
Just...
I'm to blame for this, I'm...
No, you're not.
-[music continues]
-[police siren wailing]
It's okay.
It's okay.
I did it.
I killed him.
Because he was slowly
killing you.
[Brady] Nurture, I guess?
Why?
I think if you can...
Make that effort, that...
That sacrifice to...
build a good life for someone.
It'll be better for it.
-Brady, you don't have to do this.
-[Brady] I do.
It's okay.
I'm so sorry, Sam.
[indistinct police chatter]
[music continues]
[door opens]
[muffled indistinct
police radio chatter]
[indistinct, muffled dialogue]
[knife clanks]
[music fades]
We've, uh...
Taken Mr. Harker into custody.
We'll get the rest of his
confession down at the station.
Ms. Miller, uh...
Melody...
Your fianc's been taken
to Memorial Hospital.
You can, uh...
get a squad car to drive you
down there right now,
if you'd like.
You should go.
Well, uh...
We'll be okay.
[door opens]
-Lies and liquor, huh?
-[door closes]
Hey.
Family tattoos?
[both] No.
Mel...
I know.
[door opens]
[door closes]
You know, last night
was the second time
I was accused
of stealing this thing.
B... Brady was maybe afraid
you were gonna hurt me.
So... Brady just left it for me.
[scoffs]
Placed it there, and... God I...
I thought I was losing it.
Mmm, it was maybe, uh...
He figured
me out of the picture...
it helped somehow.
You know?
Maybe.
[ring rattles]
How about you?
You gonna be okay?
[scoffs]
-Probably not.
-[Nolan] Mm-hmm.
But, um... I don't know.
-[Nolan] I...
-[sighs]
One foot in front of the other.
You know?
[melancholic music]
You know, I had this, uh...
This feeling...
that someone was always...
holding my hand.
Guiding me through it.
-I mean, Matthew...
-He would never.
[scoffs]
[Nolan] Yeah.
But Mom would.
[woman's voice] Sammy...
Yeah...
Why'd we never see her I wonder?
[sighs] I think we were
always looking
in all the wrong directions.
Even from the beginning.
Yeah.
[grunts]
You know, I cannot believe...
that you thought it was me.
[chuckles]
No, I didn't.
-Not really.
-Yeah.
You always hurt yourself
before anyone else.
No longer.
No longer
