Goodnight, Light (2023) Movie Script
1
(tense music)
(door creaking)
(footsteps shuffling)
Oh! (creepy music)
Emma, honey.
Did you have another nightmare?
No, mommy.
Are you feeling sick?
No, mommy.
Okay, go back to bed, please.
Okay, mommy.
(creepy music)
(footsteps pattering)
(creepy music)
(creepy music continues)
(pages rustling)
(footsteps thudding)
(pages rustling)
This is your third time
eligible for release.
Are you going to talk to me this time?
I would think, after all these years,
you'd wanna leave this place.
Come on, Emma.
You want to tell me what
went through your mind
when you murdered your mother?
Maybe it was just an accident
that you pressed the knife
through her flesh 13 times.
What could possibly be going so bad
in a 12 year old girl's life
that would lead her to believe
that murdering her mother
is the solution? (chuckles)
There are a lot of crazy people here, Emma.
Not all of them came in that way,
but it doesn't take long being here
before you lose your grasp on reality.
Hell, I get to go home at night,
and sometimes I think I'm going crazy.
The longer you play this game,
your risk of never leaving increases.
That's fine. You would've
been denied anyway.
(stamp clicking)
(ominous music)
Guess I'm still your new daddy.
(hand patting)
Take the mommy killer
back to her VIP suite.
I'm done with her for today.
(upbeat pop music)
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today
Keep chasing the sunshine
And go out and play
Go out and play
(singer vocalizing)
Listen, I wanna be there with you
No matter where you go
(engine humming)
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
(door thudding)
What the hell is this?
It won't be as bad as you think.
(door thudding)
I cannot believe I got
talked to spending a week
here instead of at the beach.
Come on, Lex.
Try to make the best of it.
People usually drift apart
after college graduation.
Think of it as possibly the
last getaway with your friends.
And the mosquitoes.
And me.
And the snakes!
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
Isn't this place beautiful?
Actually, I,
It's gorgeous.
We were just saying how
excited we are about this trip.
Oh, Dean, this is Lexi and Owen.
Lexi and Owen, this is Dean.
Hello.
Nice to meet you, man.
(insects buzzing)
Does this place have running water
in case I need to like wash my hands?
No, but you can wash up in the creek.
Ew.
I'm just kidding.
Yes, there's running water.
(engine humming)
Well, okay.
(birds chirping)
Hey there, my future "Golden Girls."
[Rachel] Hey.
(door thudding)
Here.
(door thudding)
What's up, guys?
Hi, Michael.
(insects buzzing)
Wow.
Jennika, I'm glad to see
that you didn't show up
as the only single person here.
But isn't she a little young?
You know, you're lucky
you have parents with money,
or you'd be single too.
Babe, you're not with me
for my parents' money, right?
No.
That's not the only reason.
But it's a reason?
And that is how you cause
a cocky son of a bitch
to feel insecure.
Excuse me.
I've gotta go pee.
(insects buzzing)
Well, everybody, this is
Michael's little sister.
Does Michael's little sister have a name?
I'm Hannah.
Their parents went away for the weekend
and they didn't want
her to stay home alone.
So we brought her with us.
It was more like our
parents didn't trust me
to be home alone.
So they paid you to bring me.
They gave me money in
case she needed anything.
That's paying you, isn't it?
Maybe if you didn't get
into trouble all the time,
mom and dad would've let
you stay home this weekend,
but you have to be here bothering us.
Well maybe Carmen wouldn't
have dumped your ass
nine months ago if he
weren't such a douche.
I told you, that was
for a couple of weeks.
Feel it out, right, sweetheart?
Right, douche.
So who's hungry?
(burgers sizzling)
(door sliding)
(door thudding)
(burgers sizzling)
Hey, Jenna.
It's Jennika.
How'd your parents
come up with that name?
A mix between Jennifer and Jessica.
I guess they couldn't decide.
(insects buzzing)
Owen, stop it.
I've got dirt under my fingernail.
Use soap.
I feel sorry for your man over there.
He can take care of himself.
You're so lucky you weren't
born in the '20s or '30s,
or you'd be like, Bertrude.
Bertha and Gertrude.
Yeah. Lucky me.
You know, it's funny,
because when I first
started dating Michael,
I thought that Lexi was
the one to worry about,
but Jennika was the one
that tore his ass apart.
Oh. Why would you worry about me?
(group laughing)
Seriously, Owen?
Is that why you only bring me
around your parents once a year?
Of course not.
They have crazy schedules.
It just works out that way.
(insects buzzing)
(knife thudding)
I should be hanging
out with Sarah tonight.
Why? So you can text each
other in the same room again?
It's her birthday weekend.
You could drop me off at her
house for the week. Our secret.
You know, that's exactly why
mom and dad don't trust you.
And as much as I'd like to get rid of you,
I ain't driving back home.
I can't even call my best
friend on her birthday!
(knife clattering)
Who would live in a place
with no cell service?
First, two-year-old, watch
where you're throwing knives.
And second, you can live a little while
without a cell phone.
You sound like dad.
Dad would've told you
to stop throwing knives.
(knife clattering)
Hey, don't go empty handed.
(bottles clinking)
- Yes, dad.
(footsteps thudding) (insects buzzing)
How much longer are you guys gonna be?
Say about five minutes or so.
Hey.
- What's up?
- I need to talk to you.
Okay.
That about?
(Lexi speaking indistinctly)
(birds chirping)
What's up, man?
So what do you think of the new guy?
I mean, he's all right.
What do you wanna talk about?
So I think I'm gonna propose to Lexi.
Yeah, right.
- I am.
- Yeah.
In like five years maybe.
This week.
No, you're not.
I am.
No you're not.
Yeah, I am.
We've been together since
senior year of high school.
It's time.
There's no time limit on
when you have to propose
to somebody, man.
Do you think I should wait?
I mean, maybe a little,
but at least give it till after college
where you guys can live
together and feel each other out.
You know, I just,
I don't want you to have any regrets, man.
What if I regret waiting?
I don't know, but I know a
little too much about regrets.
Oh shit.
What did you do?
You're not gonna believe it, man.
Is it about Carmen?
Okay.
(wind whipping)
(ominous music)
(fire crackling)
(box thudding)
What is that?
(box thudding)
Tools, (metal clanking)
and some mouse traps.
(insects buzzing)
Keys, please.
I'm not gonna drive.
Yeah, I know you're not.
Is she for real?
Just do it.
You'll get them back in the morning.
(insects buzzing)
That smell is fucking disgusting.
What?
You don't like the smell
of a hot, juicy wiener?
If most men are the
way Lexi describes you,
I'm not missing out.
What?
I thought she likes little Owen.
He admits it.
No, I do.
Just stop calling it little Owen.
(insects buzzing) (fire crackling)
Hey, get your own.
[Owen] Ooh. (laughs)
Oh, dog.
Not cool.
(insects buzzing)
Does anybody wanna play a game?
What kind of game?
I don't know. Never have I ever?
Isn't that a kids' game?
So?
Are you scared that we're gonna find out,
like, deep, dark secrets about you?
Oh, I bet we are.
Why'd you think that?
'Cause the three of us
has grown up together.
You just joined our threesome this year.
Threesome?
Hey Jennika, little Owen
isn't so little anymore.
Get over yourself.
How do you play?
So I ask a question and then,
and then if you have done what I've asked,
you drink.
Fuck it, I'll play.
I don't have any secrets,
but no dirty question.
I'll go first. Never have
I ever worn women's clothing.
Wait, what?
I was like eight years old
and I liked the way that the
silk felt on my ass, okay?
(group laughing) Thanks for calling me out.
I just wanted to see if
you would answer honestly.
My turn then.
Never have I ever slept with a man.
Jennika, you are a terrible lesbian.
Shit happens, man.
You know, went through
like a curiosity phase.
Speaking of which, those
initials in your notebook,
were they a boy's?
Maybe.
Were they Lexi's?
No.
Never have I ever had a crush on Lexi.
Bitch.
I knew it.
Is this the part where we start talking
about a threesome again?
Not with you.
Why, Owen? You wanna
sleep with another girl?
No, babe.
Of course not. It was just a joke.
Bullshit. (coughs)
All right. All right.
My turn.
All right.
Never have I ever
(ominous music)
killed someone.
(dramatic music)
Damn.
What?
Start drinking.
You killed someone?
Please don't tell me it
was a previous boyfriend.
I didn't kill anyone.
Well, you kind of did.
(ominous music)
Okay. If anything, it was we.
Continue.
(ominous music)
When we were kids,
there was this little girl who
wanted her dead father back.
(machinery clicking)
(ominous music)
Who is she?
[Carmen] I think she's new.
(ominous music)
Emma, there's still one box in the back.
Okay, mommy.
(footsteps tapping) (ominous music)
Hi. Welcome to the neighborhood.
I'm Jennika. This is Lexi and Carmen.
What's your name?
Hi, I'm Emma.
Did I hear you say mommy?
Yeah.
What do you call your mommy?
It depends.
Sometimes mom, sometimes Debbie.
It depends on what?
Whether or not she's
acting like a little,
Hello there.
Do girls live nearby?
Yes ma'am. I live three houses down.
Carmen lives across the street from me
and Lexi lives next door to Carmen.
Well, it's very nice to meet you all.
Emma didn't have many
friends where we moved from.
You girls can chat for a few more minutes,
but Emma needs to come
in soon for some lunch.
(footsteps tapping)
You can eat lunch with us if you want.
With who?
You and your mommy?
[Emma] Yes.
What kind of pizza is it?
[Emma] Pepperoni and sausage.
[Jennika] Yuck.
[Emma] You don't like
pepperoni and sausage?
No, I don't eat meat.
I like pepperoni and sausage,
but I already ate lunch today,
so maybe some other time.
[Emma] Okay.
What about you, Lexi?
I think I hear Debbie calling for me.
Gotta go. Bye.
(ominous music)
Come on.
Bye, Fila.
(ominous music)
So we convinced her that
if she recited a little spell,
she could send her mom to get him back.
Send her back how?
It doesn't matter. She
was dumb enough to do it.
Dumb enough to do what?
(insects buzzing)
Okay. Game time and story time are over.
Come on, Owen.
If you guys get any
more info, let me know.
I gotta sleep in the same
bed with her tonight.
(dramatic music)
So.
She was really weird,
and she took Lexi's prank a little too far.
I've never had a sleepover before.
Really? Never?
No one wanted you and your
toy ponies to come over?
I'm shocked.
They make me think of my dad.
My dad bought me this one.
My mommy, my mom bought me this one.
You're so lucky.
All my mommy bought me was
this shiny new iPhone 4s.
Hey! Me and Carmen
don't even have iPhones.
I'll tell your moms to buy you one.
When I say moms, I don't mean yours, Car.
Looking at you on the other side
Like a mom and a stepmom?
No. Two moms.
When a mommy and a mommy,
Shut up, Lexi.
[Lexi] What?
I was just joking around.
[Jennika] Well, don't joke about that.
It's okay. You don't
have to talk about it.
I can talk about it. I just
don't like joking about it.
My mom and dad got
married young and had me.
When I was three years old,
she realized she was a lesbian.
They got divorced and she met my other mom.
End of story.
It grosses me out.
Let's talk about boys.
I'm down for that.
So Emma, have you ever
been kissed by a boy?
No.
[Lexi] You're missing out.
What?
Because you were kissed once
by Tommy you're an expert now?
It was twice, and one of them was tongue.
What's with that magic book
I saw in that box of junk you were carrying
into the house last week?
Are you trying to be a magician?
Kind of.
I've seen magicians make people
disappear and then reappear.
I'm trying to find a way
to bring my dad back.
He was a firefighter.
He got trapped and couldn't get out.
He died.
You know magic is fake, right?
No, it isn't,
if you have the right
spell and the right tool
to do the job.
Like a magic wand?
No. Magic wands aren't real.
Then what tool do I need?
Can't tell anyone I told
you how to do this. Okay?
Okay.
My dad has collectibles.
One of them is ancient.
I think a wizard owned it
like a thousand years ago.
Really?
[Lexi] You just need the
right spell to go with it.
Where do I get it from?
[Lexi] I already have it.
I have it memorized.
I just need a paper and
I'll write it down for you.
I'm so glad I moved here.
So are we.
[Jennika] I have my poem notebook.
So many days I've come and gone
We're still standing
What the hell is this?
You like a boy?
Emma, those are Lexi's initials.
No, they aren't.
I do like a boy. Those are his initials.
What's his name?
Landon Mitchell George.
[Carmen] He has three first names?
She's lying. I don't know a Landon.
You don't know everyone, Lexi.
Yes I do.
Don't argue, guys. Can you
please write down the spell now?
Sure.
I hope it isn't me.
It isn't you.
My mom always says,
an apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Sunshine
Anymore it's hard to
dream so smiling down
Tiny little parts
I will love you
I love you so
(menacing music)
(gentle music)
(paper ripping)
What are you doing with that?
I'm letting Emma borrow it.
This is the magic tool she needs.
(gentle music)
(zipper zipping)
This may sound scary,
but it's the only way.
Next, you have to stab your mom 13 times
with the magic tool.
You're tricking me, right?
[Lexi] No, for real.
I saw the wizard do it.
[Carmen] When? A thousand years ago?
[Emma] If I do this, won't mommy die?
No, no, no.
Her spirit will find your
dad and bring him back
and you'll be a happy family again.
[Emma] Okay, I'll think about it.
[Jennika] I'm going to sleep.
(ominous music)
I don't think we should
have said all that.
What? It's not like
she's actually gonna do it.
Where'd you get the spell from anyway?
I made it up.
I can write poems too.
Hm.
(ominous music)
Hey Carmen, you come up
here and sleep with Jennika.
I'll sleep on the floor.
Since you're the new girl,
you get to turn out the light.
(ominous music)
[Emma] Goodnight, Carmen.
Goodnight, Jennika.
Goodnight, Lexi.
Goodnight, mommy and daddy.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
- She's so weird.
(fire crackling)
What'd she do?
She killed her mother.
(menacing music)
(radio static buzzing)
[Reporter] Good afternoon
and welcome to WPCF News Radio.
Our top story today has got
to be this beautiful weather
and what the next week has for us all.
But first, in national news,
authorities are still
searching for a female convict
who escaped from a
psychiatric detention center
nearly nine months ago.
- This is ridiculous.
- The authorities advise
the public,
You've been all over this
house like a hundred times.
[Reporter] She's believed
to be armed and dangerous.
Officials are urging
the public to report -
Something could have been
blocking the signal earlier.
Any sightings
to local police immediately.
Oh, like maybe Owen's big head?
Just moves a little bit over to the left.
[Reporter] Spring has officially arrived.
That's funny, your
mom said the same thing.
After your mom gave birth to you,
how many stitches did it
take to repair the damage?
[Reporter] Beginning to bloom.
Are you guys ever gonna grow up?
[Reporter] Color to the landscape.
The weather forecast, - I don't think so.
- For the rest of the week,
- Yeah, me either.
[Reporter] Predicts a
gradual warming trend.
Hannah, I've got
something you can play with
instead of your phone.
[Reporter] 60s by the weekend.
(gentle music)
(light switch clicking)
(gentle music)
What's in the box?
All this time you have been on my mind
Anyone believe in ghosts?
And all the reasons why
What are those?
This is an EMF meter.
It detects spikes in
electromagnetic energy.
This audio recorder captures all the voices
that we can't hear.
And I have my cat ball somewhere in here.
(gentle music)
They light up when they detect movement.
Every night I lie in your arms
I also have a Ouija board.
You make my dream
(ominous music)
Lex?
No.
Carmen? Rachel?
Anybody?
I'll watch.
I guess I'm in.
Any chance to talk to
someone other than you all.
No offense.
I'm going to the store
tomorrow to get a couple things.
So you'll probably get signal there.
And you got five minutes to say hello
and happy freaking birthday and goodbye.
Five minutes?
I think the words you're
looking for is thank you.
Okay, guys, let's begin.
I only have one rule.
Once we start the connection,
don't remove your fingers
until we've said goodbye.
Why?
Because whatever's trying to connect
with us might just stay.
Bullshit.
I have seen it happen before.
Once that connection is open,
and we don't know who
or what we'll be trying to get through.
Could be friendly.
Or it could?
Not be.
Let's begin.
Hello.
Are there any spirits
that are trying to communicate with us?
I know that death has
occurred within these walls.
What the fuck do you mean,
death has occurred within these walls?
Your fingers. Put your
fucking fingers back on.
Calm down. He's messing with you.
Nobody's died here.
Right?
All you guys could see
how dumb you look right now.
Yeah. At least we've
got the balls to do it.
Do you, though?
Shh.
I hear something.
That's just Michael shivering.
I'm serious.
You don't hear that?
Are you there?
Are you that crazy girl's mother?
Don't start with that shit.
(floor creaking)
Guys.
It sounds like footsteps.
(door knocking) (group gasping)
Say goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
(ominous music)
(door clicking)
(rainfall splattering)
Hello?
Hi.
I'm Joan.
Can I help you?
Yes.
I'm glad you offered.
My car broke down
and I don't have a phone.
Can I use yours?
Sorry, but no.
But, well, this guy asked
me if he could help me.
Our phones don't work here
and there isn't a landline.
Plus I've watched just about
every horror movie ever made.
I've seen this scenario before.
Try another house.
I have walked three miles already.
This is the only house I've seen.
Well, maybe walk three
more and you'll find another one.
No!
No.
I know this road.
There isn't another house for, what?
20, 30 miles in any direction.
Kind of a coincidence that
your happened to wind up
at our house then.
(menacing music) (rainfall splattering)
There are bears and shit out here.
How about I stay for the night?
Hey Jen, I found a bed partner for you.
Shut the damn door already.
Yeah, you heard the lady.
Good luck.
(door pounding)
I can't believe you guys are treating
another human being like this.
You're pricks, you're all fucking pricks!
(door thudding) (Michael grunting)
(lock clicking)
(dramatic music)
Well, I mean, you guys
don't think that she?
Carmen, get your man.
Wait, don't you guys
find it a little weird
that she comes to the door like,
like that while we're in the middle of?
Babe, you know you
can't handle scary things.
I'll take your mind off it.
Now?
Tonight.
(ominous music)
Hun, you know I'm pretty scared too.
This was your idea.
I can still be scared.
If you're lucky.
Who's ready for the hot tub?
You are not going out there.
That crazy lady is out there.
I'm not going out in the dark.
Well, thank God for giving
Thomas Edison the brains
to invent the light bulb.
From Warren de la Rue.
Warren de la who?
He invented the light bulb.
[Owen] Did you even go to third grade?
De la Rue invented
the light bulb in 1840,
but then Edison perfected it
and he made it a thing in 1879.
Well, thank you to whoever invented it.
(menacing music)
(group gasping)
[Dean] I'll get rid of her.
(door sliding) (rainfall spattering)
(menacing music)
(rainfall spattering)
(door thudding)
- Buddy,
what happened to your hand?
That crazy bitch threw a log at me.
[Rachel] There are
band-aids under the sink
if you need one.
(menacing music)
She won't come back.
I saw her leave down the road.
She's gone.
(water splashing)
(insects buzzing)
So who started the future
"Golden Girls" thing?
That was me. I love that show.
Which one are you?
I am Rose, because Lexi
would only go along with it
if I was her, so.
Isn't Rose the dumb one?
(insects buzzing)
I would say, more naive.
Do you think that's why
she wanted me to be her?
No.
Oh, okay. Good.
Hannah, how do you know
who "The Golden Girls" are?
I watched the reruns.
Look, I know you're not happy to be here,
but think of it as an adventure.
I mean, I'm glad you're here.
Why?
Because I get to know my
future sister-in-law better.
But you're not engaged.
Yeah, so?
If he's as smart as he
claims to be, he'll propose.
And if you're as smart as
he claims, you'll say no.
Shut up, Hannah.
It's okay.
We all make a big deal out
of everything when we're 16.
There's a big difference
between being rude
and being serious.
Why do you think she shouldn't marry me?
You know, you should
try to pay more attention
to who's around you
when you're trying to have
private conversations.
What do you know?
Oh, nothing.
I'm just making a big deal
out of something else.
(insects buzzing)
How hot is it?
Boiling.
(water splashing)
Their pain is our gain. More room for us.
(water splashing)
(footsteps tapping)
(bottles clinking)
I brought some friends.
For you.
Thank you.
For you,
and you.
She's not 21.
Never stopped me before.
(insects buzzing)
What the hell is that?
[Jennika] What?
She just noticed your tattoo.
You knew about this?
My body. My choice.
(water splashing)
What one of us does reflects the rest.
That's funny because I
don't recall you discussing
your decision to date
Owen with the rest of us.
So you're saying that my
boyfriend makes you look bad?
No, luckily just you.
Look at where we are.
A beautiful cabin, beautiful mountains,
and a relaxing hot tub.
You two can bicker when we get home.
(insects buzzing)
I like your tattoo.
I like your boyfriend.
Neither of you are
sincere, but A for effort.
Make room for two more.
(water splashing) (insects buzzing)
Miss me much?
Okay, I'm gonna go take a shower.
(water splashing) - Already?
I just got here.
Hun?
[Rachel] Yeah?
Need any help washing your back?
[Rachel] No, I'm okay.
You enjoy the hot tub.
(water splashing)
He shoots
and misses.
So Dean, how long has your
family owned this place?
Two or three years.
They must make a lot of
money to own a place like this.
For God's sakes, Lexi, he's taken.
You know I'm still here, right?
What?
(insects buzzing)
I don't know what she's
talking about, Carmen.
Just please trust me. Okay?
[Carmen] Uh-huh.
Uh-huh? What's that supposed to mean?
You don't trust me now?
I mean, I don't know.
What am I supposed to think?
Just think about how much you love me?
You don't love me now either?
I mean I do, but sometimes
I just wonder if you love me.
Don't even say anything
like that, Carmen.
You know I love you from
the bottom of my heart.
Okay.
So what am I supposed to think
when your sister says stuff like that?
I get it. Okay?
It was the the biggest mistake of my life.
What?
Kissing a girl that you
claimed was your friend
or getting caught?
(Michael speaking indistinctly)
You know Hannah's just starting shit.
That's my red headed devil.
I dyed my hair and
I'm kind of blonde now.
So I'm actually an angel.
Except for when you're not.
That supposed to mean?
Remember what you promised earlier?
Do you deserve it?
Mm-hmm.
(sexy music)
(milk splashing)
(pan sizzling)
He makes breakfast too.
(pan sizzling)
You should keep him.
Why don't you have
someone to cook for you?
What makes you think I don't?
Do you?
Nope.
(pan sizzling)
How long have you guys been awake?
A few hours.
Why?
Early bird gets the worm. Right, hun?
That's right.
What are you guys getting?
Worms.
We're going fishing. Do you wanna come?
Hell no.
Good morning, world.
Looks like someone's bad
night turned out great.
It sure did.
So where's our king and queen?
You're not going to see Lexi before noon.
Does she always sleep that late?
She's probably awake.
Just takes her hours to get ready
before making her grand entrance.
I mean, it's not the
worst thing in the world
to care about your appearance.
Look at Jennika.
That wasn't gonna jab on you.
About ready to go, hun?
Yeah.
Okay, great. I'll grab
the poles and stuff.
Are you still going to the store later?
Probably. Do you guys need anything?
I've got some bait but I
could always use some more.
Could you get some
bread and cheese please?
Gotcha.
I am going to need some more alcohol.
Someone drank mine last night.
Yeah, and judging by your morning glow,
that someone was probably you.
Dean and I have plenty if you need some.
So where are the keys?
In the bowl.
You mean this bowl?
They were there.
Where'd you put 'em?
[Rachel] They were there last night.
Hannah?
Hannah?
Almost ready.
Where'd you put the keys?
I don't have the keys.
[Michael] 'Cause nobody here is going
to take their own keys, Hannah.
Why would I?
I want to leave.
So do I.
Kidding.
(footsteps tapping)
You know what? I'm
going to go take a shower.
Please do.
(dramatic music)
So who is Ed?
Who?
(paper rustling)
It's just some kid's drawings.
Well, whoever Ed is, he can't draw.
You are so going to hell.
For what? Telling it like it is?
Oh look, there's pictures.
Oh yeah, Eddie. That's Dean's cousin.
He must've been like
five when he drew these.
I've gotta show these to Dean.
I can't believe they're
still here after 20 years.
20 years?
I thought Dean said his
parents only got this property
two or three years ago.
Did he?
I mean, he's not the best
at keeping track of time.
Rude much?
Strange much?
(birds chirping)
(balls thudding)
You're up, sexy Lexi.
Why don't you ever
call me things like that?
'Cause nothing dude rhymes with Carmen.
(balls thudding)
What about charming the pants off Carmen?
I could use that.
That's not a name. It's an action.
(balls thudding) (birds chirping)
What's the score?
Three to two.
How many points do we need to win?
What? We have been playing
for 45 minutes already.
Why are you guys using
kids toys for an adult game?
(ominous music)
Hey, where are you going?
You can have next game.
We're going fishing.
Didn't you just go?
I got you. Did you bring the bait?
Oh, I got the bait.
Get it, brother.
(bottles clicking)
(ball thudding)
[Rachel] I really can't believe you.
[Dean] What is the big deal?
Why would you even say that?
Isn't that something
a normal guy would say
when he has a hot ass girlfriend?
Are you actually being serious right now?
Absolutely.
(menacing music)
Damn it, Lexi.
Why are you whispering?
I think they're arguing.
Who cares?
I just found out that the
keys are still missing
and we are almost out of bug spray.
The boys are just trying to scare us.
And the bugs, they haven't
even been that bad yet.
Maybe not to you, but bugs like sweets.
They're gonna be feasting on me tonight.
(door knocking)
Hello?
(door knocking)
Keeper of the keys,
where are the keys?
You're not doing it already, are you?
(bed squeaking)
(couple groaning) (bed squeaking)
You know we could just do it for real.
I'm good.
Fine. I'll leave.
You can't. I need you.
You're not really acting like it.
(menacing music)
(insects buzzing)
[Owen] Hey, babe?
Yeah?
Ready to get in?
Ew. I'm not going in that
swamp water and neither are you.
Why do you care if I go in?
Okay.
Go in.
But you're not touching me
until you get antibiotics
for whatever parasite you'll pick up.
What are you looking at?
The same posts I've read since yesterday.
I have good news.
So Dean and I went for like
a 45 minute hike earlier.
Okay.
Well, we were taking a
picture next to this big rock,
and I had two bars.
No fricking way!
See ya.
Wait. (indistinct)
Why?
Michael won't let you
walk that far all alone.
He won't let us after dinner.
Okay.
I'm gonna get more beer.
Anyone want anything?
(insects buzzing)
(menacing music)
(insects buzzing)
So what's the plan?
Well, first we open the lid,
we add the ice and then we add the beer.
You know what I mean.
I don't, Michael.
Hey babe, can you hand me my water?
It's right next to you on the other side.
I know, but I don't wanna open my eyes.
The sun is really bright.
Hey, Carmen.
I think Michael just called for you.
From inside?
The door wasn't closed yet.
Okay.
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
Is it just me
or is this trip just
really freaking awkward?
Seeing the way that Carmen looks
at you is tearing me up inside.
[Michael] I didn't know
you felt the same way
about me as I do for you.
[Jennika] I'm torn up because of her.
Not because of you.
[Michael] Ow.
Wait.
Did you have feelings for me?
(dramatic music)
I guess maybe a little.
You don't feel anything for me.
Let's just agree that was a mistake.
[Michael] A mistake?
Once or twice, maybe. But six times?
Whatever. It's done now.
Question is, do we tell Carmen?
You just did.
(dramatic music)
I'll meet you guys there.
You can't wait for us?
I need a bathroom now.
Just go in the water. I did.
Ew. Disgusting.
You wanted to swim in that.
So what time's dinner?
I was thinking around six?
I would say to make a
sandwich to hold you off.
But we're outta bread.
We're almost out of everything.
Who lets a prank go on this long?
When they get hungry,
the keys will return.
What if the crazy lady
came back and took them?
Stop.
There's something in the woods.
I don't hear anything.
What kind of animals are around here?
Birds, squirrels, bears.
What if the crazy lady came back?
Don't say that.
(branches crackling)
(women screaming)
You're all fucking pricks.
Yes you are a prick.
I thought you had to pee.
(insects buzzing)
I don't know whether to
fight you or thank you.
(door thudding)
Thank me for what?
[Carmen] For opening my eyes
to see what a real piece of shit he is.
[Michael] Carmen.
Do not talk to me!
What's going on here?
You know, nothing.
My boyfriend is just two
future "Golden Girls."
Who?
Jennika?
Well, it sure isn't me.
Or me.
Does that make Michael a lesbian?
Shut up, Owen.
So you like guys?
I didn't think so
till Michael showed up, I guess.
I am so glad that my
boyfriend brought you
to that conclusion.
(footsteps tapping)
Due to obvious reasons,
let's not do dinner tonight.
Family style. Everybody's
just on their own, okay?
I'm gonna go change and leave.
Okay, be careful.
( Birds chirping)
(silverware clicking)
I can't believe I have to eat this.
Considering they're out of food
and I'm the one who brought that, welcome.
[Lexi] Thanks. It might
not be as bad as it looks.
(door clicking)
I heated up your veggie soup.
Our friendship is over, isn't it?
Do you even have to ask?
It may seem like it now,
but I don't think it is.
I'm not hungry.
It'll be in the fridge when you're ready.
(silverware clicking)
(Rachel gasps)
What?
I know why they kept mouse traps.
(Lexi squealing)
(Rachel laughing)
What?
What, were you kidding?
No.
[Lexi] Then why are you laughing?
That look on your face.
Owen?
(footsteps thudding)
There's a mouse.
[Owen] Where did it go?
It went under the stove.
[Lexi] Get the mouse traps.
I'll go.
You might wanna talk to
Carmen while you're out there.
(insects buzzing)
(footsteps thudding)
Hey, Carmen, I know you
probably don't wanna talk
right now, but I just,
(water splashing)
(footsteps thudding)
(door sliding)
Michael!
(floor creaking) (footsteps thudding)
Jennika, just stay with your friends.
(footsteps thudding)
Why is she on a chair?
Saw a mouse? Where?
[Lexi] It's in the kitchen.
Hurry before it lets its family in.
[Jennika] Do we have any cheese?
[Rachel] No, we're out.
So,
peanut butter?
Yeah, we've got that.
Oh, is it organic?
(door thudding)
(machinery clicking)
Are you going to get down?
[Lexi] Did you catch it?
I literally just set the trap.
[Lexi] Is that a yes or no?
We have to wait until it
goes for the peanut butter.
[Lexi] And then what?
(Rachel claps hands)
Broken neck.
(menacing music)
(fire crackling)
(footsteps shuffling)
Six times?
Was it while we were broken up?
Mostly.
How many when we got back together?
Just, just like twice.
Just twice?
You know what?
Maybe I should find someone
and just do it twice.
No, Carmen.
Sorry. Okay?
I'm sorry.
When was the last time?
Like two weeks ago, maybe.
Two weeks?
(fire crackling)
Heck, we just finished it
like right when you came in, Carmen.
I don't care!
It should have never
started in the first place,
and it sure as shit should have
never have fucking continued
after we got back together.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I did everything for you.
After you kissed that girl, I dyed my hair
because I thought I wasn't
pretty enough for you
and that you liked girls
brown hair and blonde hair,
and then, to fucking just top it all off,
you go and you fuck my best friend!
What the fuck, Michael?
Oh my god.
Am I not good enough for
you? What the fuck justifies that?
(Carmen sobbing)
It's like, you know when you have
like one potato chip but you want more?
What the fuck are you talking about?
You should not have said that.
Get the fuck away from me
right fucking now, Michael.
Get the fuck away from me!
[Michael] I'll give you a couple minutes.
No! Leave me alone forever.
For good. We're done!
(Carmen sobbing)
(peel crunching)
(door thudding)
How'd it go?
How do you think it went?
[Rachel] She's not staying
out there all night, is she?
How did I let this happen?
We're animals.
It's instinct to procreate.
(trap snapping)
(floor creaking)
(insects buzzing)
I'm going to my room.
(footsteps thudding)
[Rachel] The mouse is dead.
[Lexi] Really? Where is it?
Dean threw it outside.
Lexi, can I sleep in your bedroom
since everyone's down here?
Oh, I just changed the sheets.
Maybe you can sleep in Michael's bed.
Seriously?
What? It's not like she hasn't already.
You can lay in our bed.
Babe, can I talk to
you outside real quick?
(door sliding)
(door thudding)
(insects buzzing)
Lexi, will you marry me?
(insects buzzing)
First of all, no.
I have dreamed of a proposal
in a place much nicer than this.
Plus, I need a ring.
This a ring.
Where?
They're broke.
Who's broke?
My parents. They've always
lived paycheck to paycheck.
I've seen their house.
No.
You've seen a vacation rental.
We can just stay there one
week out of the summer.
(ominous music)
So you've been lying
to me this entire time.
So you were with me
because you thought my parents were loaded?
No.
I can't be with a liar.
(footsteps thudding)
(box snapping)
(door clicking)
What happened?
We broke up.
He broke up with you?
Course not.
Two breakups in one day.
We're on a roll.
He lied about his parents having money.
I mean, I don't care about the money,
that much.
(Jennika slurping)
I could take care of myself
with my parents' money.
(menacing music)
(soup splattering)
You were the last one to touch my soup.
I didn't do that.
Then it was Carmen.
Carmen's been outside.
[Michael] Who's yelling?
There's another mouse,
in her soup.
Probably the same mouse.
Look, I know I fucked up,
but this is fucking ridiculous!
Carmen would be the only
one to have any reason
to put that in my shit.
There's no way she did that, Jennika.
I'm gonna be sick.
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
(footsteps shuffling)
[Michael] You guys got room for one more?
(bottle opening)
I proposed.
Hey, I'm happy for you, man.
I think she broke up with me.
What do you mean?
I told her the truth about my parents.
Had to come out eventually though. Right?
Do you mind if I walk with
Michael to talk for a bit?
(footsteps shuffling)
(birds chirping)
(insects buzzing)
I really do wanna marry her,
even though she acts like
a spoiled bitch sometimes.
Yeah, I really want Carmen back, man,
even though I act like a
spoiled bitch sometimes.
[Owen] Well, here's to tomorrow.
Can't be any worse than today.
You got it, brother. (bottles clinking)
(insects buzzing)
(fire crackling)
(ominous music)
(footsteps shuffling)
Did you kiss her on any of
the days that we were together?
Was I in the room?
You know what?
Don't answer that. I don't want to know.
(ominous music)
Wait, you just gonna stand there?
(ominous music)
Michael.
Stop it, Michael.
Get the fuck off me. Michael!
Michael!
(creepy music) (blood splattering)
(Carmen choking)
(insects buzzing)
[Owen] Where you going?
I think I'm gonna talk to
Carmen one more time, man.
Too soon.
I'll go talk to her.
You go get some sleep.
All right.
You gonna go now?
Yep.
All right.
Love you, brother.
Love you too.
(footsteps shuffling)
Right after I finish drowning my sorrows.
(insects buzzing)
(menacing music)
(footsteps thudding)
(menacing music)
How am I getting home?
They literally brought me here.
You can ride back with me or Lexi.
Did you see how many bags
we had to squeeze into that car?
You can ride back with me.
Did you learn how to hotwire a car?
I just want this all to be over.
Okay, change of sleeping arrangements.
Follow me.
I'm waiting.
(footsteps thudding)
You two are sleeping here.
Carmen can sleep with me
and we'll put Owen with Michael.
I'll be your mommy tonight.
And mommy knows best.
Ew. Don't say it like that, you weirdo.
It's just like old times.
Cannot believe I have to sleep
in the same bed with you again.
Lexi, be nice to your friend.
Goodnight. You too.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
(ominous music)
What the hell did she just say?
No fucking way.
It can't be.
She's in a nuthouse.
Did you notice that there are no photos
of Dean's family in here?
(ominous music)
[Lexi] There are some.
(floor creaking)
(ominous music)
Hey. (menacing music)
Why are you out of bed?
I'm just so tired and
I just couldn't sleep.
Why are you out of bed?
Taking a shower, silly.
I know what you need.
(ominous music)
Good old milk.
(door thudding) (ominous music)
It's what was given to
me when I couldn't sleep.
By your mommy?
Duh.
(milk splashing)
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
See you in the morning.
(ominous music)
(milk splashing)
I got it.
(paper rustling)
Oh my God.
Lexi, these don't say Ed.
These are initials.
What is it with you and your initials?
Emma Dodson.
We need more proof.
Think about it.
She plans this elaborate vacation
in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Our car keys go missing.
And then we find this fucking chest here
with drawings with Emma
Dodson's initials on it?
And she said, mommy.
What more proof do you need?
There was more pictures.
Do you think that she kept some?
Only one way to find out.
Okay, go.
You are literally the
one wanting more proof.
Fine.
(paper rustling)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues) (water splashing)
(clothes rustling)
(water splashing)
(menacing music)
What?
(menacing music)
We have to go get Carmen.
(shower curtain crinkling)
(menacing music)
(footsteps shuffling)
(menacing music)
Shh. Go, go, go, go, go.
(menacing music)
Owen!
(menacing music)
[Jennika] Come on.
(menacing music)
We are going to die.
We are going to fucking die.
We are going to go back in there,
like we don't suspect a damn thing.
Then what?
We fucking kill that bitch.
(ominous music)
Come on.
(footsteps shuffling)
(menacing music)
No, just go.
(menacing music)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(footsteps tapping)
Oh my God.
Dean, are you okay?
(groans) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God. How bad is it?
I'll be fine.
Are you sure?
This isn't my blood.
(menacing music)
(Dean groans)
Fuck you.
You fucking bitch.
(bones cracking)
(Dean panting)
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
(ominous music)
I don't know what you want from me
I'm just trying to live a good life
You don't know what you want from me
You're just trying to make me cry
When you get your way, it's okay
It's okay
But on days like today, I pay
I pay
(door creaking) (menacing music)
Found you. Now it's my turn to hide.
No going outside, though.
(menacing music)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(floor creaking)
(door thudding)
(Lexi panting)
You found me.
(Lexi screaming)
(footsteps tapping)
(chip crunching)
Hey, Lex.
[Lexi] Dean, you can stop this right now.
She's sick. She needs help.
What do you think I'm trying to do?
Playing along with her crazy
games is not gonna help her.
It's gonna hurt her.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
I love her.
Have you tried these?
They're good.
(bag crinkling) Like really good.
But you know what they say,
too much of a good thing will kill you.
(menacing music)
Why are you doing this, Emma?
Yay. She knows my name.
Took advantage of me.
You made me think we were
friends. That was really mean.
[Lexi] We were kids, Emma.
Kids are mean.
I wasn't.
I just needed friends. Why
couldn't you just be my friend?
[Lexi] We were your friends.
No, you were Rachel's.
I saw the photo.
This was your parents' house wasn't it?
It was left to my aunt after mommy died.
Luckily she never comes here.
Well, not so lucky for you.
I would've done anything
to get my daddy back.
And you knew that. Why
would you make me, you know?
(ominous music)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing) (blood splattering)
No, Emma. Emma, no.
Emma!
(knife slicing) (menacing music)
Mommy?
Are you awake, mommy?
(menacing music)
No.
I'll cut him.
You didn't figure that part out yet.
Tell her, babe.
Dean's not my boyfriend.
He was one of my nurses.
(ominous music)
You have been playing
this game for six months?
You're sick.
Maybe. But I didn't go in that way.
How did you get out?
I used him.
Well, I mean,
we used each other, right, babe?
(menacing music)
(door beeping)
(chair creaking)
(door creaking)
(door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
(bed creaking)
[Dean] I thought a lot about this.
Are you 100% sure about this?
You know I like you a lot, Emma, right?
So much so that I'm willing
to get in big trouble for you?
I need to know that you like me back.
I need you to do something for me.
You know what I'm asking, right?
(bed creaking)
(clothes shuffling)
(bed creaking) (clothes shuffling)
I'm better than Dr. Jones.
You'll see.
(menacing music)
It's amazing what you can accomplish
with a new hire watching the desk,
a stack of visitor tags
and an employee escort.
(menacing music)
I thought you were playing hard to get.
You were faking it?
Faking it is what we do.
(knife slicing) (menacing music)
(Dean choking)
(menacing music)
Now that was teamwork.
(menacing music)
Let's start over.
How far back?
The beginning.
[Emma] Like when we were kids?
And we can have sleepovers
and stay up all night and gossip.
Do each other's hair?
Of course.
And you're not mad about Owen?
Not at all.
[Emma] 'Cause you hate liars.
You're a liar.
We're supposed to be
the future "Golden Girls."
I've always hated Blanche.
(Lexi grunting)
(ominous music)
You better run.
(menacing music)
(Lexi sobbing)
(ax clanking)
Found you again, silly.
(ax thudding)
(bodies thudding)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing)
(footsteps squeaking) (menacing music)
(sirens blaring)
(door thudding)
(paper flapping)
As you know, the judge
sentenced you to life
for the murder of four people.
He also instructed that
your sentence be carried out
at a mental health facility.
Welcome home.
I didn't do it.
Emma did.
Yeah. So you've said several times.
You also claimed
that one of our employees
was her accomplice.
[Lexi] Dean.
The only problem with that story is,
we've never employed anyone by that name,
at least not in the 17
years that I've been here.
Also, the officers at the
scene checked Rachel's ID.
She isn't Emma.
The police found the poor girl hiding
in the woods near death.
You, on the other hand.
Her ID must be fake.
And why didn't anyone
check Dean's fingerprints
or dental records?
They would have if there was a body.
Listen again.
There were only four bodies,
which is why you were
convicted of four murders.
Where's Hannah?
Yeah, her parents would
like to know that as well.
They've already buried their son.
Only you can bring closure
for their daughter.
Where's the body, Lexi?
I don't know!
[Dr. Jones] We both know you do.
Dead bodies don't walk away.
(shovel clanking)
Digging for gold?
I couldn't find the big rock.
Just burying someone.
(menacing music)
I will say, after reading
the police transcripts,
timing sure wasn't on your side.
What does that mean?
The police tracking the stolen car
to the murder scene just
as you were trying to flee?
[Lexi] What stolen car?
Your boyfriend was a dumb thief.
A pro would've stolen a
vehicle without GPS tracking.
Son of a bitch.
Does it upset you to know
that maybe he wasn't the
person you thought he was?
Of course.
Upset enough to kill him?
(menacing music)
Can I go now?
Either way,
(chair squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(menacing music)
we are going to be very good friends.
(chuckles)
(menacing music)
(chair creaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(door thudding)
(paper shuffling)
(pen scratching)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing) (doctor groaning)
(blood splattering)
[Emma] New daddy, my ass.
(door clicking)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(footsteps tapping)
(menacing music)
You didn't say much about
the sleepover last night.
Did you have fun?
Yes, mommy. It really was fun.
I'm happy to hear that.
Didn't I tell you you'd make friends here?
Did you and daddy kiss with tongue?
Is that what you girls
talked about last night?
(ominous music)
I should have known finding
friends your age would lead
to sleepovers and girl talk.
Goodnight, Emma Bear.
[Emma] Goodnight, mommy.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
(singer vocalizing)
(unsettling music)
(unsettling music continues)
(tense music)
(door creaking)
(footsteps shuffling)
Oh! (creepy music)
Emma, honey.
Did you have another nightmare?
No, mommy.
Are you feeling sick?
No, mommy.
Okay, go back to bed, please.
Okay, mommy.
(creepy music)
(footsteps pattering)
(creepy music)
(creepy music continues)
(pages rustling)
(footsteps thudding)
(pages rustling)
This is your third time
eligible for release.
Are you going to talk to me this time?
I would think, after all these years,
you'd wanna leave this place.
Come on, Emma.
You want to tell me what
went through your mind
when you murdered your mother?
Maybe it was just an accident
that you pressed the knife
through her flesh 13 times.
What could possibly be going so bad
in a 12 year old girl's life
that would lead her to believe
that murdering her mother
is the solution? (chuckles)
There are a lot of crazy people here, Emma.
Not all of them came in that way,
but it doesn't take long being here
before you lose your grasp on reality.
Hell, I get to go home at night,
and sometimes I think I'm going crazy.
The longer you play this game,
your risk of never leaving increases.
That's fine. You would've
been denied anyway.
(stamp clicking)
(ominous music)
Guess I'm still your new daddy.
(hand patting)
Take the mommy killer
back to her VIP suite.
I'm done with her for today.
(upbeat pop music)
Don't wait for tomorrow
Live for today
Keep chasing the sunshine
And go out and play
Go out and play
(singer vocalizing)
Listen, I wanna be there with you
No matter where you go
(engine humming)
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
(door thudding)
What the hell is this?
It won't be as bad as you think.
(door thudding)
I cannot believe I got
talked to spending a week
here instead of at the beach.
Come on, Lex.
Try to make the best of it.
People usually drift apart
after college graduation.
Think of it as possibly the
last getaway with your friends.
And the mosquitoes.
And me.
And the snakes!
(birds chirping)
(footsteps thudding)
Isn't this place beautiful?
Actually, I,
It's gorgeous.
We were just saying how
excited we are about this trip.
Oh, Dean, this is Lexi and Owen.
Lexi and Owen, this is Dean.
Hello.
Nice to meet you, man.
(insects buzzing)
Does this place have running water
in case I need to like wash my hands?
No, but you can wash up in the creek.
Ew.
I'm just kidding.
Yes, there's running water.
(engine humming)
Well, okay.
(birds chirping)
Hey there, my future "Golden Girls."
[Rachel] Hey.
(door thudding)
Here.
(door thudding)
What's up, guys?
Hi, Michael.
(insects buzzing)
Wow.
Jennika, I'm glad to see
that you didn't show up
as the only single person here.
But isn't she a little young?
You know, you're lucky
you have parents with money,
or you'd be single too.
Babe, you're not with me
for my parents' money, right?
No.
That's not the only reason.
But it's a reason?
And that is how you cause
a cocky son of a bitch
to feel insecure.
Excuse me.
I've gotta go pee.
(insects buzzing)
Well, everybody, this is
Michael's little sister.
Does Michael's little sister have a name?
I'm Hannah.
Their parents went away for the weekend
and they didn't want
her to stay home alone.
So we brought her with us.
It was more like our
parents didn't trust me
to be home alone.
So they paid you to bring me.
They gave me money in
case she needed anything.
That's paying you, isn't it?
Maybe if you didn't get
into trouble all the time,
mom and dad would've let
you stay home this weekend,
but you have to be here bothering us.
Well maybe Carmen wouldn't
have dumped your ass
nine months ago if he
weren't such a douche.
I told you, that was
for a couple of weeks.
Feel it out, right, sweetheart?
Right, douche.
So who's hungry?
(burgers sizzling)
(door sliding)
(door thudding)
(burgers sizzling)
Hey, Jenna.
It's Jennika.
How'd your parents
come up with that name?
A mix between Jennifer and Jessica.
I guess they couldn't decide.
(insects buzzing)
Owen, stop it.
I've got dirt under my fingernail.
Use soap.
I feel sorry for your man over there.
He can take care of himself.
You're so lucky you weren't
born in the '20s or '30s,
or you'd be like, Bertrude.
Bertha and Gertrude.
Yeah. Lucky me.
You know, it's funny,
because when I first
started dating Michael,
I thought that Lexi was
the one to worry about,
but Jennika was the one
that tore his ass apart.
Oh. Why would you worry about me?
(group laughing)
Seriously, Owen?
Is that why you only bring me
around your parents once a year?
Of course not.
They have crazy schedules.
It just works out that way.
(insects buzzing)
(knife thudding)
I should be hanging
out with Sarah tonight.
Why? So you can text each
other in the same room again?
It's her birthday weekend.
You could drop me off at her
house for the week. Our secret.
You know, that's exactly why
mom and dad don't trust you.
And as much as I'd like to get rid of you,
I ain't driving back home.
I can't even call my best
friend on her birthday!
(knife clattering)
Who would live in a place
with no cell service?
First, two-year-old, watch
where you're throwing knives.
And second, you can live a little while
without a cell phone.
You sound like dad.
Dad would've told you
to stop throwing knives.
(knife clattering)
Hey, don't go empty handed.
(bottles clinking)
- Yes, dad.
(footsteps thudding) (insects buzzing)
How much longer are you guys gonna be?
Say about five minutes or so.
Hey.
- What's up?
- I need to talk to you.
Okay.
That about?
(Lexi speaking indistinctly)
(birds chirping)
What's up, man?
So what do you think of the new guy?
I mean, he's all right.
What do you wanna talk about?
So I think I'm gonna propose to Lexi.
Yeah, right.
- I am.
- Yeah.
In like five years maybe.
This week.
No, you're not.
I am.
No you're not.
Yeah, I am.
We've been together since
senior year of high school.
It's time.
There's no time limit on
when you have to propose
to somebody, man.
Do you think I should wait?
I mean, maybe a little,
but at least give it till after college
where you guys can live
together and feel each other out.
You know, I just,
I don't want you to have any regrets, man.
What if I regret waiting?
I don't know, but I know a
little too much about regrets.
Oh shit.
What did you do?
You're not gonna believe it, man.
Is it about Carmen?
Okay.
(wind whipping)
(ominous music)
(fire crackling)
(box thudding)
What is that?
(box thudding)
Tools, (metal clanking)
and some mouse traps.
(insects buzzing)
Keys, please.
I'm not gonna drive.
Yeah, I know you're not.
Is she for real?
Just do it.
You'll get them back in the morning.
(insects buzzing)
That smell is fucking disgusting.
What?
You don't like the smell
of a hot, juicy wiener?
If most men are the
way Lexi describes you,
I'm not missing out.
What?
I thought she likes little Owen.
He admits it.
No, I do.
Just stop calling it little Owen.
(insects buzzing) (fire crackling)
Hey, get your own.
[Owen] Ooh. (laughs)
Oh, dog.
Not cool.
(insects buzzing)
Does anybody wanna play a game?
What kind of game?
I don't know. Never have I ever?
Isn't that a kids' game?
So?
Are you scared that we're gonna find out,
like, deep, dark secrets about you?
Oh, I bet we are.
Why'd you think that?
'Cause the three of us
has grown up together.
You just joined our threesome this year.
Threesome?
Hey Jennika, little Owen
isn't so little anymore.
Get over yourself.
How do you play?
So I ask a question and then,
and then if you have done what I've asked,
you drink.
Fuck it, I'll play.
I don't have any secrets,
but no dirty question.
I'll go first. Never have
I ever worn women's clothing.
Wait, what?
I was like eight years old
and I liked the way that the
silk felt on my ass, okay?
(group laughing) Thanks for calling me out.
I just wanted to see if
you would answer honestly.
My turn then.
Never have I ever slept with a man.
Jennika, you are a terrible lesbian.
Shit happens, man.
You know, went through
like a curiosity phase.
Speaking of which, those
initials in your notebook,
were they a boy's?
Maybe.
Were they Lexi's?
No.
Never have I ever had a crush on Lexi.
Bitch.
I knew it.
Is this the part where we start talking
about a threesome again?
Not with you.
Why, Owen? You wanna
sleep with another girl?
No, babe.
Of course not. It was just a joke.
Bullshit. (coughs)
All right. All right.
My turn.
All right.
Never have I ever
(ominous music)
killed someone.
(dramatic music)
Damn.
What?
Start drinking.
You killed someone?
Please don't tell me it
was a previous boyfriend.
I didn't kill anyone.
Well, you kind of did.
(ominous music)
Okay. If anything, it was we.
Continue.
(ominous music)
When we were kids,
there was this little girl who
wanted her dead father back.
(machinery clicking)
(ominous music)
Who is she?
[Carmen] I think she's new.
(ominous music)
Emma, there's still one box in the back.
Okay, mommy.
(footsteps tapping) (ominous music)
Hi. Welcome to the neighborhood.
I'm Jennika. This is Lexi and Carmen.
What's your name?
Hi, I'm Emma.
Did I hear you say mommy?
Yeah.
What do you call your mommy?
It depends.
Sometimes mom, sometimes Debbie.
It depends on what?
Whether or not she's
acting like a little,
Hello there.
Do girls live nearby?
Yes ma'am. I live three houses down.
Carmen lives across the street from me
and Lexi lives next door to Carmen.
Well, it's very nice to meet you all.
Emma didn't have many
friends where we moved from.
You girls can chat for a few more minutes,
but Emma needs to come
in soon for some lunch.
(footsteps tapping)
You can eat lunch with us if you want.
With who?
You and your mommy?
[Emma] Yes.
What kind of pizza is it?
[Emma] Pepperoni and sausage.
[Jennika] Yuck.
[Emma] You don't like
pepperoni and sausage?
No, I don't eat meat.
I like pepperoni and sausage,
but I already ate lunch today,
so maybe some other time.
[Emma] Okay.
What about you, Lexi?
I think I hear Debbie calling for me.
Gotta go. Bye.
(ominous music)
Come on.
Bye, Fila.
(ominous music)
So we convinced her that
if she recited a little spell,
she could send her mom to get him back.
Send her back how?
It doesn't matter. She
was dumb enough to do it.
Dumb enough to do what?
(insects buzzing)
Okay. Game time and story time are over.
Come on, Owen.
If you guys get any
more info, let me know.
I gotta sleep in the same
bed with her tonight.
(dramatic music)
So.
She was really weird,
and she took Lexi's prank a little too far.
I've never had a sleepover before.
Really? Never?
No one wanted you and your
toy ponies to come over?
I'm shocked.
They make me think of my dad.
My dad bought me this one.
My mommy, my mom bought me this one.
You're so lucky.
All my mommy bought me was
this shiny new iPhone 4s.
Hey! Me and Carmen
don't even have iPhones.
I'll tell your moms to buy you one.
When I say moms, I don't mean yours, Car.
Looking at you on the other side
Like a mom and a stepmom?
No. Two moms.
When a mommy and a mommy,
Shut up, Lexi.
[Lexi] What?
I was just joking around.
[Jennika] Well, don't joke about that.
It's okay. You don't
have to talk about it.
I can talk about it. I just
don't like joking about it.
My mom and dad got
married young and had me.
When I was three years old,
she realized she was a lesbian.
They got divorced and she met my other mom.
End of story.
It grosses me out.
Let's talk about boys.
I'm down for that.
So Emma, have you ever
been kissed by a boy?
No.
[Lexi] You're missing out.
What?
Because you were kissed once
by Tommy you're an expert now?
It was twice, and one of them was tongue.
What's with that magic book
I saw in that box of junk you were carrying
into the house last week?
Are you trying to be a magician?
Kind of.
I've seen magicians make people
disappear and then reappear.
I'm trying to find a way
to bring my dad back.
He was a firefighter.
He got trapped and couldn't get out.
He died.
You know magic is fake, right?
No, it isn't,
if you have the right
spell and the right tool
to do the job.
Like a magic wand?
No. Magic wands aren't real.
Then what tool do I need?
Can't tell anyone I told
you how to do this. Okay?
Okay.
My dad has collectibles.
One of them is ancient.
I think a wizard owned it
like a thousand years ago.
Really?
[Lexi] You just need the
right spell to go with it.
Where do I get it from?
[Lexi] I already have it.
I have it memorized.
I just need a paper and
I'll write it down for you.
I'm so glad I moved here.
So are we.
[Jennika] I have my poem notebook.
So many days I've come and gone
We're still standing
What the hell is this?
You like a boy?
Emma, those are Lexi's initials.
No, they aren't.
I do like a boy. Those are his initials.
What's his name?
Landon Mitchell George.
[Carmen] He has three first names?
She's lying. I don't know a Landon.
You don't know everyone, Lexi.
Yes I do.
Don't argue, guys. Can you
please write down the spell now?
Sure.
I hope it isn't me.
It isn't you.
My mom always says,
an apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Sunshine
Anymore it's hard to
dream so smiling down
Tiny little parts
I will love you
I love you so
(menacing music)
(gentle music)
(paper ripping)
What are you doing with that?
I'm letting Emma borrow it.
This is the magic tool she needs.
(gentle music)
(zipper zipping)
This may sound scary,
but it's the only way.
Next, you have to stab your mom 13 times
with the magic tool.
You're tricking me, right?
[Lexi] No, for real.
I saw the wizard do it.
[Carmen] When? A thousand years ago?
[Emma] If I do this, won't mommy die?
No, no, no.
Her spirit will find your
dad and bring him back
and you'll be a happy family again.
[Emma] Okay, I'll think about it.
[Jennika] I'm going to sleep.
(ominous music)
I don't think we should
have said all that.
What? It's not like
she's actually gonna do it.
Where'd you get the spell from anyway?
I made it up.
I can write poems too.
Hm.
(ominous music)
Hey Carmen, you come up
here and sleep with Jennika.
I'll sleep on the floor.
Since you're the new girl,
you get to turn out the light.
(ominous music)
[Emma] Goodnight, Carmen.
Goodnight, Jennika.
Goodnight, Lexi.
Goodnight, mommy and daddy.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
- She's so weird.
(fire crackling)
What'd she do?
She killed her mother.
(menacing music)
(radio static buzzing)
[Reporter] Good afternoon
and welcome to WPCF News Radio.
Our top story today has got
to be this beautiful weather
and what the next week has for us all.
But first, in national news,
authorities are still
searching for a female convict
who escaped from a
psychiatric detention center
nearly nine months ago.
- This is ridiculous.
- The authorities advise
the public,
You've been all over this
house like a hundred times.
[Reporter] She's believed
to be armed and dangerous.
Officials are urging
the public to report -
Something could have been
blocking the signal earlier.
Any sightings
to local police immediately.
Oh, like maybe Owen's big head?
Just moves a little bit over to the left.
[Reporter] Spring has officially arrived.
That's funny, your
mom said the same thing.
After your mom gave birth to you,
how many stitches did it
take to repair the damage?
[Reporter] Beginning to bloom.
Are you guys ever gonna grow up?
[Reporter] Color to the landscape.
The weather forecast, - I don't think so.
- For the rest of the week,
- Yeah, me either.
[Reporter] Predicts a
gradual warming trend.
Hannah, I've got
something you can play with
instead of your phone.
[Reporter] 60s by the weekend.
(gentle music)
(light switch clicking)
(gentle music)
What's in the box?
All this time you have been on my mind
Anyone believe in ghosts?
And all the reasons why
What are those?
This is an EMF meter.
It detects spikes in
electromagnetic energy.
This audio recorder captures all the voices
that we can't hear.
And I have my cat ball somewhere in here.
(gentle music)
They light up when they detect movement.
Every night I lie in your arms
I also have a Ouija board.
You make my dream
(ominous music)
Lex?
No.
Carmen? Rachel?
Anybody?
I'll watch.
I guess I'm in.
Any chance to talk to
someone other than you all.
No offense.
I'm going to the store
tomorrow to get a couple things.
So you'll probably get signal there.
And you got five minutes to say hello
and happy freaking birthday and goodbye.
Five minutes?
I think the words you're
looking for is thank you.
Okay, guys, let's begin.
I only have one rule.
Once we start the connection,
don't remove your fingers
until we've said goodbye.
Why?
Because whatever's trying to connect
with us might just stay.
Bullshit.
I have seen it happen before.
Once that connection is open,
and we don't know who
or what we'll be trying to get through.
Could be friendly.
Or it could?
Not be.
Let's begin.
Hello.
Are there any spirits
that are trying to communicate with us?
I know that death has
occurred within these walls.
What the fuck do you mean,
death has occurred within these walls?
Your fingers. Put your
fucking fingers back on.
Calm down. He's messing with you.
Nobody's died here.
Right?
All you guys could see
how dumb you look right now.
Yeah. At least we've
got the balls to do it.
Do you, though?
Shh.
I hear something.
That's just Michael shivering.
I'm serious.
You don't hear that?
Are you there?
Are you that crazy girl's mother?
Don't start with that shit.
(floor creaking)
Guys.
It sounds like footsteps.
(door knocking) (group gasping)
Say goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
(ominous music)
(door clicking)
(rainfall splattering)
Hello?
Hi.
I'm Joan.
Can I help you?
Yes.
I'm glad you offered.
My car broke down
and I don't have a phone.
Can I use yours?
Sorry, but no.
But, well, this guy asked
me if he could help me.
Our phones don't work here
and there isn't a landline.
Plus I've watched just about
every horror movie ever made.
I've seen this scenario before.
Try another house.
I have walked three miles already.
This is the only house I've seen.
Well, maybe walk three
more and you'll find another one.
No!
No.
I know this road.
There isn't another house for, what?
20, 30 miles in any direction.
Kind of a coincidence that
your happened to wind up
at our house then.
(menacing music) (rainfall splattering)
There are bears and shit out here.
How about I stay for the night?
Hey Jen, I found a bed partner for you.
Shut the damn door already.
Yeah, you heard the lady.
Good luck.
(door pounding)
I can't believe you guys are treating
another human being like this.
You're pricks, you're all fucking pricks!
(door thudding) (Michael grunting)
(lock clicking)
(dramatic music)
Well, I mean, you guys
don't think that she?
Carmen, get your man.
Wait, don't you guys
find it a little weird
that she comes to the door like,
like that while we're in the middle of?
Babe, you know you
can't handle scary things.
I'll take your mind off it.
Now?
Tonight.
(ominous music)
Hun, you know I'm pretty scared too.
This was your idea.
I can still be scared.
If you're lucky.
Who's ready for the hot tub?
You are not going out there.
That crazy lady is out there.
I'm not going out in the dark.
Well, thank God for giving
Thomas Edison the brains
to invent the light bulb.
From Warren de la Rue.
Warren de la who?
He invented the light bulb.
[Owen] Did you even go to third grade?
De la Rue invented
the light bulb in 1840,
but then Edison perfected it
and he made it a thing in 1879.
Well, thank you to whoever invented it.
(menacing music)
(group gasping)
[Dean] I'll get rid of her.
(door sliding) (rainfall spattering)
(menacing music)
(rainfall spattering)
(door thudding)
- Buddy,
what happened to your hand?
That crazy bitch threw a log at me.
[Rachel] There are
band-aids under the sink
if you need one.
(menacing music)
She won't come back.
I saw her leave down the road.
She's gone.
(water splashing)
(insects buzzing)
So who started the future
"Golden Girls" thing?
That was me. I love that show.
Which one are you?
I am Rose, because Lexi
would only go along with it
if I was her, so.
Isn't Rose the dumb one?
(insects buzzing)
I would say, more naive.
Do you think that's why
she wanted me to be her?
No.
Oh, okay. Good.
Hannah, how do you know
who "The Golden Girls" are?
I watched the reruns.
Look, I know you're not happy to be here,
but think of it as an adventure.
I mean, I'm glad you're here.
Why?
Because I get to know my
future sister-in-law better.
But you're not engaged.
Yeah, so?
If he's as smart as he
claims to be, he'll propose.
And if you're as smart as
he claims, you'll say no.
Shut up, Hannah.
It's okay.
We all make a big deal out
of everything when we're 16.
There's a big difference
between being rude
and being serious.
Why do you think she shouldn't marry me?
You know, you should
try to pay more attention
to who's around you
when you're trying to have
private conversations.
What do you know?
Oh, nothing.
I'm just making a big deal
out of something else.
(insects buzzing)
How hot is it?
Boiling.
(water splashing)
Their pain is our gain. More room for us.
(water splashing)
(footsteps tapping)
(bottles clinking)
I brought some friends.
For you.
Thank you.
For you,
and you.
She's not 21.
Never stopped me before.
(insects buzzing)
What the hell is that?
[Jennika] What?
She just noticed your tattoo.
You knew about this?
My body. My choice.
(water splashing)
What one of us does reflects the rest.
That's funny because I
don't recall you discussing
your decision to date
Owen with the rest of us.
So you're saying that my
boyfriend makes you look bad?
No, luckily just you.
Look at where we are.
A beautiful cabin, beautiful mountains,
and a relaxing hot tub.
You two can bicker when we get home.
(insects buzzing)
I like your tattoo.
I like your boyfriend.
Neither of you are
sincere, but A for effort.
Make room for two more.
(water splashing) (insects buzzing)
Miss me much?
Okay, I'm gonna go take a shower.
(water splashing) - Already?
I just got here.
Hun?
[Rachel] Yeah?
Need any help washing your back?
[Rachel] No, I'm okay.
You enjoy the hot tub.
(water splashing)
He shoots
and misses.
So Dean, how long has your
family owned this place?
Two or three years.
They must make a lot of
money to own a place like this.
For God's sakes, Lexi, he's taken.
You know I'm still here, right?
What?
(insects buzzing)
I don't know what she's
talking about, Carmen.
Just please trust me. Okay?
[Carmen] Uh-huh.
Uh-huh? What's that supposed to mean?
You don't trust me now?
I mean, I don't know.
What am I supposed to think?
Just think about how much you love me?
You don't love me now either?
I mean I do, but sometimes
I just wonder if you love me.
Don't even say anything
like that, Carmen.
You know I love you from
the bottom of my heart.
Okay.
So what am I supposed to think
when your sister says stuff like that?
I get it. Okay?
It was the the biggest mistake of my life.
What?
Kissing a girl that you
claimed was your friend
or getting caught?
(Michael speaking indistinctly)
You know Hannah's just starting shit.
That's my red headed devil.
I dyed my hair and
I'm kind of blonde now.
So I'm actually an angel.
Except for when you're not.
That supposed to mean?
Remember what you promised earlier?
Do you deserve it?
Mm-hmm.
(sexy music)
(milk splashing)
(pan sizzling)
He makes breakfast too.
(pan sizzling)
You should keep him.
Why don't you have
someone to cook for you?
What makes you think I don't?
Do you?
Nope.
(pan sizzling)
How long have you guys been awake?
A few hours.
Why?
Early bird gets the worm. Right, hun?
That's right.
What are you guys getting?
Worms.
We're going fishing. Do you wanna come?
Hell no.
Good morning, world.
Looks like someone's bad
night turned out great.
It sure did.
So where's our king and queen?
You're not going to see Lexi before noon.
Does she always sleep that late?
She's probably awake.
Just takes her hours to get ready
before making her grand entrance.
I mean, it's not the
worst thing in the world
to care about your appearance.
Look at Jennika.
That wasn't gonna jab on you.
About ready to go, hun?
Yeah.
Okay, great. I'll grab
the poles and stuff.
Are you still going to the store later?
Probably. Do you guys need anything?
I've got some bait but I
could always use some more.
Could you get some
bread and cheese please?
Gotcha.
I am going to need some more alcohol.
Someone drank mine last night.
Yeah, and judging by your morning glow,
that someone was probably you.
Dean and I have plenty if you need some.
So where are the keys?
In the bowl.
You mean this bowl?
They were there.
Where'd you put 'em?
[Rachel] They were there last night.
Hannah?
Hannah?
Almost ready.
Where'd you put the keys?
I don't have the keys.
[Michael] 'Cause nobody here is going
to take their own keys, Hannah.
Why would I?
I want to leave.
So do I.
Kidding.
(footsteps tapping)
You know what? I'm
going to go take a shower.
Please do.
(dramatic music)
So who is Ed?
Who?
(paper rustling)
It's just some kid's drawings.
Well, whoever Ed is, he can't draw.
You are so going to hell.
For what? Telling it like it is?
Oh look, there's pictures.
Oh yeah, Eddie. That's Dean's cousin.
He must've been like
five when he drew these.
I've gotta show these to Dean.
I can't believe they're
still here after 20 years.
20 years?
I thought Dean said his
parents only got this property
two or three years ago.
Did he?
I mean, he's not the best
at keeping track of time.
Rude much?
Strange much?
(birds chirping)
(balls thudding)
You're up, sexy Lexi.
Why don't you ever
call me things like that?
'Cause nothing dude rhymes with Carmen.
(balls thudding)
What about charming the pants off Carmen?
I could use that.
That's not a name. It's an action.
(balls thudding) (birds chirping)
What's the score?
Three to two.
How many points do we need to win?
What? We have been playing
for 45 minutes already.
Why are you guys using
kids toys for an adult game?
(ominous music)
Hey, where are you going?
You can have next game.
We're going fishing.
Didn't you just go?
I got you. Did you bring the bait?
Oh, I got the bait.
Get it, brother.
(bottles clicking)
(ball thudding)
[Rachel] I really can't believe you.
[Dean] What is the big deal?
Why would you even say that?
Isn't that something
a normal guy would say
when he has a hot ass girlfriend?
Are you actually being serious right now?
Absolutely.
(menacing music)
Damn it, Lexi.
Why are you whispering?
I think they're arguing.
Who cares?
I just found out that the
keys are still missing
and we are almost out of bug spray.
The boys are just trying to scare us.
And the bugs, they haven't
even been that bad yet.
Maybe not to you, but bugs like sweets.
They're gonna be feasting on me tonight.
(door knocking)
Hello?
(door knocking)
Keeper of the keys,
where are the keys?
You're not doing it already, are you?
(bed squeaking)
(couple groaning) (bed squeaking)
You know we could just do it for real.
I'm good.
Fine. I'll leave.
You can't. I need you.
You're not really acting like it.
(menacing music)
(insects buzzing)
[Owen] Hey, babe?
Yeah?
Ready to get in?
Ew. I'm not going in that
swamp water and neither are you.
Why do you care if I go in?
Okay.
Go in.
But you're not touching me
until you get antibiotics
for whatever parasite you'll pick up.
What are you looking at?
The same posts I've read since yesterday.
I have good news.
So Dean and I went for like
a 45 minute hike earlier.
Okay.
Well, we were taking a
picture next to this big rock,
and I had two bars.
No fricking way!
See ya.
Wait. (indistinct)
Why?
Michael won't let you
walk that far all alone.
He won't let us after dinner.
Okay.
I'm gonna get more beer.
Anyone want anything?
(insects buzzing)
(menacing music)
(insects buzzing)
So what's the plan?
Well, first we open the lid,
we add the ice and then we add the beer.
You know what I mean.
I don't, Michael.
Hey babe, can you hand me my water?
It's right next to you on the other side.
I know, but I don't wanna open my eyes.
The sun is really bright.
Hey, Carmen.
I think Michael just called for you.
From inside?
The door wasn't closed yet.
Okay.
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
Is it just me
or is this trip just
really freaking awkward?
Seeing the way that Carmen looks
at you is tearing me up inside.
[Michael] I didn't know
you felt the same way
about me as I do for you.
[Jennika] I'm torn up because of her.
Not because of you.
[Michael] Ow.
Wait.
Did you have feelings for me?
(dramatic music)
I guess maybe a little.
You don't feel anything for me.
Let's just agree that was a mistake.
[Michael] A mistake?
Once or twice, maybe. But six times?
Whatever. It's done now.
Question is, do we tell Carmen?
You just did.
(dramatic music)
I'll meet you guys there.
You can't wait for us?
I need a bathroom now.
Just go in the water. I did.
Ew. Disgusting.
You wanted to swim in that.
So what time's dinner?
I was thinking around six?
I would say to make a
sandwich to hold you off.
But we're outta bread.
We're almost out of everything.
Who lets a prank go on this long?
When they get hungry,
the keys will return.
What if the crazy lady
came back and took them?
Stop.
There's something in the woods.
I don't hear anything.
What kind of animals are around here?
Birds, squirrels, bears.
What if the crazy lady came back?
Don't say that.
(branches crackling)
(women screaming)
You're all fucking pricks.
Yes you are a prick.
I thought you had to pee.
(insects buzzing)
I don't know whether to
fight you or thank you.
(door thudding)
Thank me for what?
[Carmen] For opening my eyes
to see what a real piece of shit he is.
[Michael] Carmen.
Do not talk to me!
What's going on here?
You know, nothing.
My boyfriend is just two
future "Golden Girls."
Who?
Jennika?
Well, it sure isn't me.
Or me.
Does that make Michael a lesbian?
Shut up, Owen.
So you like guys?
I didn't think so
till Michael showed up, I guess.
I am so glad that my
boyfriend brought you
to that conclusion.
(footsteps tapping)
Due to obvious reasons,
let's not do dinner tonight.
Family style. Everybody's
just on their own, okay?
I'm gonna go change and leave.
Okay, be careful.
( Birds chirping)
(silverware clicking)
I can't believe I have to eat this.
Considering they're out of food
and I'm the one who brought that, welcome.
[Lexi] Thanks. It might
not be as bad as it looks.
(door clicking)
I heated up your veggie soup.
Our friendship is over, isn't it?
Do you even have to ask?
It may seem like it now,
but I don't think it is.
I'm not hungry.
It'll be in the fridge when you're ready.
(silverware clicking)
(Rachel gasps)
What?
I know why they kept mouse traps.
(Lexi squealing)
(Rachel laughing)
What?
What, were you kidding?
No.
[Lexi] Then why are you laughing?
That look on your face.
Owen?
(footsteps thudding)
There's a mouse.
[Owen] Where did it go?
It went under the stove.
[Lexi] Get the mouse traps.
I'll go.
You might wanna talk to
Carmen while you're out there.
(insects buzzing)
(footsteps thudding)
Hey, Carmen, I know you
probably don't wanna talk
right now, but I just,
(water splashing)
(footsteps thudding)
(door sliding)
Michael!
(floor creaking) (footsteps thudding)
Jennika, just stay with your friends.
(footsteps thudding)
Why is she on a chair?
Saw a mouse? Where?
[Lexi] It's in the kitchen.
Hurry before it lets its family in.
[Jennika] Do we have any cheese?
[Rachel] No, we're out.
So,
peanut butter?
Yeah, we've got that.
Oh, is it organic?
(door thudding)
(machinery clicking)
Are you going to get down?
[Lexi] Did you catch it?
I literally just set the trap.
[Lexi] Is that a yes or no?
We have to wait until it
goes for the peanut butter.
[Lexi] And then what?
(Rachel claps hands)
Broken neck.
(menacing music)
(fire crackling)
(footsteps shuffling)
Six times?
Was it while we were broken up?
Mostly.
How many when we got back together?
Just, just like twice.
Just twice?
You know what?
Maybe I should find someone
and just do it twice.
No, Carmen.
Sorry. Okay?
I'm sorry.
When was the last time?
Like two weeks ago, maybe.
Two weeks?
(fire crackling)
Heck, we just finished it
like right when you came in, Carmen.
I don't care!
It should have never
started in the first place,
and it sure as shit should have
never have fucking continued
after we got back together.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I did everything for you.
After you kissed that girl, I dyed my hair
because I thought I wasn't
pretty enough for you
and that you liked girls
brown hair and blonde hair,
and then, to fucking just top it all off,
you go and you fuck my best friend!
What the fuck, Michael?
Oh my god.
Am I not good enough for
you? What the fuck justifies that?
(Carmen sobbing)
It's like, you know when you have
like one potato chip but you want more?
What the fuck are you talking about?
You should not have said that.
Get the fuck away from me
right fucking now, Michael.
Get the fuck away from me!
[Michael] I'll give you a couple minutes.
No! Leave me alone forever.
For good. We're done!
(Carmen sobbing)
(peel crunching)
(door thudding)
How'd it go?
How do you think it went?
[Rachel] She's not staying
out there all night, is she?
How did I let this happen?
We're animals.
It's instinct to procreate.
(trap snapping)
(floor creaking)
(insects buzzing)
I'm going to my room.
(footsteps thudding)
[Rachel] The mouse is dead.
[Lexi] Really? Where is it?
Dean threw it outside.
Lexi, can I sleep in your bedroom
since everyone's down here?
Oh, I just changed the sheets.
Maybe you can sleep in Michael's bed.
Seriously?
What? It's not like she hasn't already.
You can lay in our bed.
Babe, can I talk to
you outside real quick?
(door sliding)
(door thudding)
(insects buzzing)
Lexi, will you marry me?
(insects buzzing)
First of all, no.
I have dreamed of a proposal
in a place much nicer than this.
Plus, I need a ring.
This a ring.
Where?
They're broke.
Who's broke?
My parents. They've always
lived paycheck to paycheck.
I've seen their house.
No.
You've seen a vacation rental.
We can just stay there one
week out of the summer.
(ominous music)
So you've been lying
to me this entire time.
So you were with me
because you thought my parents were loaded?
No.
I can't be with a liar.
(footsteps thudding)
(box snapping)
(door clicking)
What happened?
We broke up.
He broke up with you?
Course not.
Two breakups in one day.
We're on a roll.
He lied about his parents having money.
I mean, I don't care about the money,
that much.
(Jennika slurping)
I could take care of myself
with my parents' money.
(menacing music)
(soup splattering)
You were the last one to touch my soup.
I didn't do that.
Then it was Carmen.
Carmen's been outside.
[Michael] Who's yelling?
There's another mouse,
in her soup.
Probably the same mouse.
Look, I know I fucked up,
but this is fucking ridiculous!
Carmen would be the only
one to have any reason
to put that in my shit.
There's no way she did that, Jennika.
I'm gonna be sick.
(birds chirping) (insects buzzing)
(footsteps shuffling)
[Michael] You guys got room for one more?
(bottle opening)
I proposed.
Hey, I'm happy for you, man.
I think she broke up with me.
What do you mean?
I told her the truth about my parents.
Had to come out eventually though. Right?
Do you mind if I walk with
Michael to talk for a bit?
(footsteps shuffling)
(birds chirping)
(insects buzzing)
I really do wanna marry her,
even though she acts like
a spoiled bitch sometimes.
Yeah, I really want Carmen back, man,
even though I act like a
spoiled bitch sometimes.
[Owen] Well, here's to tomorrow.
Can't be any worse than today.
You got it, brother. (bottles clinking)
(insects buzzing)
(fire crackling)
(ominous music)
(footsteps shuffling)
Did you kiss her on any of
the days that we were together?
Was I in the room?
You know what?
Don't answer that. I don't want to know.
(ominous music)
Wait, you just gonna stand there?
(ominous music)
Michael.
Stop it, Michael.
Get the fuck off me. Michael!
Michael!
(creepy music) (blood splattering)
(Carmen choking)
(insects buzzing)
[Owen] Where you going?
I think I'm gonna talk to
Carmen one more time, man.
Too soon.
I'll go talk to her.
You go get some sleep.
All right.
You gonna go now?
Yep.
All right.
Love you, brother.
Love you too.
(footsteps shuffling)
Right after I finish drowning my sorrows.
(insects buzzing)
(menacing music)
(footsteps thudding)
(menacing music)
How am I getting home?
They literally brought me here.
You can ride back with me or Lexi.
Did you see how many bags
we had to squeeze into that car?
You can ride back with me.
Did you learn how to hotwire a car?
I just want this all to be over.
Okay, change of sleeping arrangements.
Follow me.
I'm waiting.
(footsteps thudding)
You two are sleeping here.
Carmen can sleep with me
and we'll put Owen with Michael.
I'll be your mommy tonight.
And mommy knows best.
Ew. Don't say it like that, you weirdo.
It's just like old times.
Cannot believe I have to sleep
in the same bed with you again.
Lexi, be nice to your friend.
Goodnight. You too.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
(ominous music)
What the hell did she just say?
No fucking way.
It can't be.
She's in a nuthouse.
Did you notice that there are no photos
of Dean's family in here?
(ominous music)
[Lexi] There are some.
(floor creaking)
(ominous music)
Hey. (menacing music)
Why are you out of bed?
I'm just so tired and
I just couldn't sleep.
Why are you out of bed?
Taking a shower, silly.
I know what you need.
(ominous music)
Good old milk.
(door thudding) (ominous music)
It's what was given to
me when I couldn't sleep.
By your mommy?
Duh.
(milk splashing)
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
See you in the morning.
(ominous music)
(milk splashing)
I got it.
(paper rustling)
Oh my God.
Lexi, these don't say Ed.
These are initials.
What is it with you and your initials?
Emma Dodson.
We need more proof.
Think about it.
She plans this elaborate vacation
in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Our car keys go missing.
And then we find this fucking chest here
with drawings with Emma
Dodson's initials on it?
And she said, mommy.
What more proof do you need?
There was more pictures.
Do you think that she kept some?
Only one way to find out.
Okay, go.
You are literally the
one wanting more proof.
Fine.
(paper rustling)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(ominous music continues) (water splashing)
(clothes rustling)
(water splashing)
(menacing music)
What?
(menacing music)
We have to go get Carmen.
(shower curtain crinkling)
(menacing music)
(footsteps shuffling)
(menacing music)
Shh. Go, go, go, go, go.
(menacing music)
Owen!
(menacing music)
[Jennika] Come on.
(menacing music)
We are going to die.
We are going to fucking die.
We are going to go back in there,
like we don't suspect a damn thing.
Then what?
We fucking kill that bitch.
(ominous music)
Come on.
(footsteps shuffling)
(menacing music)
No, just go.
(menacing music)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(footsteps tapping)
Oh my God.
Dean, are you okay?
(groans) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my God. How bad is it?
I'll be fine.
Are you sure?
This isn't my blood.
(menacing music)
(Dean groans)
Fuck you.
You fucking bitch.
(bones cracking)
(Dean panting)
(door clicking)
(door thudding)
(ominous music)
I don't know what you want from me
I'm just trying to live a good life
You don't know what you want from me
You're just trying to make me cry
When you get your way, it's okay
It's okay
But on days like today, I pay
I pay
(door creaking) (menacing music)
Found you. Now it's my turn to hide.
No going outside, though.
(menacing music)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(floor creaking)
(door thudding)
(Lexi panting)
You found me.
(Lexi screaming)
(footsteps tapping)
(chip crunching)
Hey, Lex.
[Lexi] Dean, you can stop this right now.
She's sick. She needs help.
What do you think I'm trying to do?
Playing along with her crazy
games is not gonna help her.
It's gonna hurt her.
I would never do anything to hurt her.
I love her.
Have you tried these?
They're good.
(bag crinkling) Like really good.
But you know what they say,
too much of a good thing will kill you.
(menacing music)
Why are you doing this, Emma?
Yay. She knows my name.
Took advantage of me.
You made me think we were
friends. That was really mean.
[Lexi] We were kids, Emma.
Kids are mean.
I wasn't.
I just needed friends. Why
couldn't you just be my friend?
[Lexi] We were your friends.
No, you were Rachel's.
I saw the photo.
This was your parents' house wasn't it?
It was left to my aunt after mommy died.
Luckily she never comes here.
Well, not so lucky for you.
I would've done anything
to get my daddy back.
And you knew that. Why
would you make me, you know?
(ominous music)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing) (blood splattering)
No, Emma. Emma, no.
Emma!
(knife slicing) (menacing music)
Mommy?
Are you awake, mommy?
(menacing music)
No.
I'll cut him.
You didn't figure that part out yet.
Tell her, babe.
Dean's not my boyfriend.
He was one of my nurses.
(ominous music)
You have been playing
this game for six months?
You're sick.
Maybe. But I didn't go in that way.
How did you get out?
I used him.
Well, I mean,
we used each other, right, babe?
(menacing music)
(door beeping)
(chair creaking)
(door creaking)
(door thudding)
(footsteps tapping)
(bed creaking)
[Dean] I thought a lot about this.
Are you 100% sure about this?
You know I like you a lot, Emma, right?
So much so that I'm willing
to get in big trouble for you?
I need to know that you like me back.
I need you to do something for me.
You know what I'm asking, right?
(bed creaking)
(clothes shuffling)
(bed creaking) (clothes shuffling)
I'm better than Dr. Jones.
You'll see.
(menacing music)
It's amazing what you can accomplish
with a new hire watching the desk,
a stack of visitor tags
and an employee escort.
(menacing music)
I thought you were playing hard to get.
You were faking it?
Faking it is what we do.
(knife slicing) (menacing music)
(Dean choking)
(menacing music)
Now that was teamwork.
(menacing music)
Let's start over.
How far back?
The beginning.
[Emma] Like when we were kids?
And we can have sleepovers
and stay up all night and gossip.
Do each other's hair?
Of course.
And you're not mad about Owen?
Not at all.
[Emma] 'Cause you hate liars.
You're a liar.
We're supposed to be
the future "Golden Girls."
I've always hated Blanche.
(Lexi grunting)
(ominous music)
You better run.
(menacing music)
(Lexi sobbing)
(ax clanking)
Found you again, silly.
(ax thudding)
(bodies thudding)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing)
(footsteps squeaking) (menacing music)
(sirens blaring)
(door thudding)
(paper flapping)
As you know, the judge
sentenced you to life
for the murder of four people.
He also instructed that
your sentence be carried out
at a mental health facility.
Welcome home.
I didn't do it.
Emma did.
Yeah. So you've said several times.
You also claimed
that one of our employees
was her accomplice.
[Lexi] Dean.
The only problem with that story is,
we've never employed anyone by that name,
at least not in the 17
years that I've been here.
Also, the officers at the
scene checked Rachel's ID.
She isn't Emma.
The police found the poor girl hiding
in the woods near death.
You, on the other hand.
Her ID must be fake.
And why didn't anyone
check Dean's fingerprints
or dental records?
They would have if there was a body.
Listen again.
There were only four bodies,
which is why you were
convicted of four murders.
Where's Hannah?
Yeah, her parents would
like to know that as well.
They've already buried their son.
Only you can bring closure
for their daughter.
Where's the body, Lexi?
I don't know!
[Dr. Jones] We both know you do.
Dead bodies don't walk away.
(shovel clanking)
Digging for gold?
I couldn't find the big rock.
Just burying someone.
(menacing music)
I will say, after reading
the police transcripts,
timing sure wasn't on your side.
What does that mean?
The police tracking the stolen car
to the murder scene just
as you were trying to flee?
[Lexi] What stolen car?
Your boyfriend was a dumb thief.
A pro would've stolen a
vehicle without GPS tracking.
Son of a bitch.
Does it upset you to know
that maybe he wasn't the
person you thought he was?
Of course.
Upset enough to kill him?
(menacing music)
Can I go now?
Either way,
(chair squeaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(menacing music)
we are going to be very good friends.
(chuckles)
(menacing music)
(chair creaking)
(footsteps tapping)
(door thudding)
(paper shuffling)
(pen scratching)
(door creaking)
(menacing music)
(knife slicing) (doctor groaning)
(blood splattering)
[Emma] New daddy, my ass.
(door clicking)
(footsteps tapping)
(ominous music)
(footsteps tapping)
(menacing music)
You didn't say much about
the sleepover last night.
Did you have fun?
Yes, mommy. It really was fun.
I'm happy to hear that.
Didn't I tell you you'd make friends here?
Did you and daddy kiss with tongue?
Is that what you girls
talked about last night?
(ominous music)
I should have known finding
friends your age would lead
to sleepovers and girl talk.
Goodnight, Emma Bear.
[Emma] Goodnight, mommy.
Goodnight, light.
(light switch clicking)
(singer vocalizing)
(unsettling music)
(unsettling music continues)
