My Best Friend's Dead (2026) Movie Script

(pensive music)
(lively music)
(dog barking)
- What is it, Endo?
(dog barking)
Real quick.
(feet clacking)
(birds chirping)
(dogs barking)
(phone vibrating)
Poop for me, boy.
(notification chimes)
(notification hoots)
(ominous music)
(bushes rustling)
(ominous music continues)
Come on. Let's go back inside.
(monster growls)
(eerie music)
(monster growling)
(horrifying music)

(ominous music)

(door squeaks)
(feet clacking)
(tense music)
(monster laughing)
- [Monster] There you are.
(screaming)
(brooding music)
- [Detective] Now the pictures
I showed you in this folder,
is that or is that not you?
- It is.
- And was it and was it not
the night of the murder?
- It was.
- [Detective] Well, how in
the hell do you explain it?
- [Olivia] Okay, it's
a valid question,
but the answer is complicated.
Look, I'm definitely
not innocent, but...
Okay. Let's go back
to the beginning.
(lively music)
I'm Olivia, by the way.
Welcome to my home.
Or what's left of it.
(Olivia sighs)
It's so damn hot.
The thermostat's been
busted for a while now.
And the window's been
stuck for even longer.
My parents left me this house
after they died in a car
accident almost a decade ago.
I thought about selling
it, but first off,
I'm a millennial with
a BA in philosophy
and zero marketable skills.
And, second, I really couldn't
because, well, you'll see.
In any case, I wasn't
going anywhere.
I'm on antidepressants,
even though I should probably
be on something stronger.
And lately, either
I was going crazy
or my pills were running
low, probably crazy.
So that's me.
Just your basic unemployed,
medicated, fragile white girl.
And before you ask, no, I
don't have a gluten allergy.
- This is Maya Moreno
reporting outside
of the town hall parking
lot where a farmer
and his wife
reportedly heard noises
and came to find a
piece of shocking
and offensive graffiti
lining the town hall walls.
We have blurred out the images
for our viewers at home.
- We take destruction
of property very
seriously around here.
Now with the help of
the neighborhood watch,
who's ever responsible
will be caught
much sooner rather than later.
- [Maya] Do you have any leads?
- [Leslie] No,
not at the moment.
However, we have our
entire team working on it.
- Detective Jacobs, do
you think this graffiti
has any connection to the
others
we've been seeing around town?
- Nope.
- Thank you, detectives.
This is Maya Moreno reporting
from the Town Hall Parking-
- [Man on T.V.] Of being alone.
Feeling like you're not
getting out there anymore?
Are you stuck in
the single life?
- [Olivia] So I wouldn't
say I was desperate.
I was fine here
alone in my house.
So, so happy.
(Aurora gasps)
- [Man on T.V.] is
designed by engineers using
a breakthrough new
algorithm to look-
- [Olivia] Okay. So
not totally alone.
- [Man on T.V.] We'll
simply pair you up again-
- [Olivia] Meet Aurora.
- Can you turn it down?
- [Aurora] Why are you
up early, you freak?
- Aurora, it's noon.
- Oh, yeah? Since when do
we wake up before 03:00?
- [Olivia] Aurora and I met
freshman year of college.
She was absolutely insane.
In a good way though:
confident, blunt,
fun, exciting,
everything I'm not.
We became inseparable.
We weirdly balanced
each other out.
Unfortunately, lately, things
had gotten a little weird
between us, like all-
(monster screeching)
But we'll get to that later.
- Whew, dude,
you were such a loser last
night.
You passed out after
like three beers.
- I know. I'm sorry.
Did you have fun?
- Totally, did you know that
chat roulette is still a thing?
(chuckles) You missed out
on the gnarliest sticks.
- I think I'm okay with that.
(lively music)
- Can I please fix your hair?
It drives me fucking nuts.
- Maybe later, I, um-
I gotta go into town to
refill my prescription.
I must have
miscounted last time.
- Boo, well, (groans)
make it quick, bitch.
You owe me for last night.
Oh, hey, grab some gummy
bears when you're out.
I'm gonna make the vodka ones.
Oh, hey, pick out the green
ones. They taste like mold.
(zipper zipping)
- [Olivia] I don't have a car.
My parents' minivan died
pretty soon after they did.
I didn't see the point
of buying a new one.
Like I said, I
don't get out much.
I like the bus though.
Gives me a little bit
of time by myself.
Trips into town are rare
these days, but I enjoy them.
Even if it is just
to pick up meds
and gummy bears
from the pharmacy.
- Olivia? Oh.
Oh my god, I haven't
seen you in forever.
- [Olivia] Oh, geez, Amanda.
Super popular, kinda mean in
high school. You know the type.
- Amanda.
- No, yeah, no. I- I know.
- Morning-after pill?
- What? No.
- Oh my God. I'm kidding.
- Oh. (chuckles)
- God, has it seriously
been since high school?
- I think so.
- Do you live around here?
- No, I'm still at
my parents' house.
- Oh, well, yeah, that's fine.
Like, I heard about what
happened to your parents.
So horrible. I'm just so sorry.
- [Olivia] She's nice now?
This was by far the
longest we'd ever spoken.
- Oh my God. Check
it out. (chuckles)
- Congrats. (chuckles)
- Thanks.
- Um, Jimmy?
- Oh my God. No. (chuckles)
No, we broke up literally
right after graduation. Yeah.
He and his husband
are adopting a baby
from like Asia or something.
Umm, but this guy is amazing.
Brent.
Yeah. Here, isn't he so cute?
He's like the sweetest.
- He looks nice.
- Hmm, so how are you?
Are you married?
- Oh. (chuckles) No.
- Wait, so you're not like
seeing anyone at all right now?
- Not that I know of.
- Oh, um, well actually,
I'm having a little
get-together tonight
if you wanna come.
You should totally join.
- No way. Not a chance.
Oh, um, thanks. But
I- I can't tonight.
Are you sure? You might
meet someone you like.
Brent and I are like
expert match makers.
Everyone says so.
It's hilarious.
- Sorry, I- I should get back.
My bus leaves soon.
- Oh, well, okay.
Bummer. But it was
nice seeing you.
Let's catch up.
- Sure. (chuckles)
- Amazing. I'll see you around.
- Bye.
- Well, that was fun
and unexpected.
Amanda seems to have changed
and it was really sweet
of her to invite me over.
But I knew I had to get home
or else I'd face the
wrath of an angry Aurora.
(notification beeps)
Forget how wildly unreliable
the bus is around here.
(notification chimes)
(lively music)
I figured Aurora
would understand.
What was I supposed to
do, freeze to death?
Oh God. I hope this
isn't a fancy thing.
- Olivia, hi. So pumped
you could make it.
- Oh, look at her. It
totally is a fancy thing.
(ambient music)
No one's here. I
showed up first, great.
Sorry, am I- am I early?
- No, you're fine.
Brent, you wanna
come maybe say hello?
- (sighs) Mm-hmm. Sure.
- [Olivia] Someone
really needed to show up.
This was brutal.
- Brent, nice to meet you.
- Hi. Yeah, I saw your photos.
I saw your photos?
What am I, a stalker?
- Okay.
- Okay, um, I'll
get you a cocktail?
Vodka cranberry girl?
- Sure. Yeah.
(Amanda giggles)
(ambient music)
Brent seemed nice.
So I'm really not supposed
to drink on these meds.
Plus I had eaten nothing but
green gummy bears all day.
But what's one cocktail?
(ambient music)
Nice wasn't the right
word to describe Brent.
Different maybe?
Whatever, the plan
was to have one drink
and then Uber back
to the bus station.
- Here.
- Oh, thank you. Thanks.
(lively music)
(bell dinging)
- [Amanda] Oh, are you ready?
- What?
(lively music)
- [Amanda] Joe, so
pumped you could make it.
Come in, come in, come in.
- I'm an idiot.
- Yeah, for sure.
- [Olivia] Of course
this was a setup.
- [Joe] I took an Uber
here. I hope that's okay.
- Yeah, of course. What- why-
- Who likes being set up?
No one. That's who.
- [Amanda] Oh,
Olivia, this is Joe.
- Um.
(ambient music)
Hi.
- Hi.
- Let me take your jackets.
- (container
clatters) Oh my God.
- I think he dropped
it. I got it. Did you...
- Thanks, um. Kill me.
Thank you.
- And yours. Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, I'm sorry. Thanks.
- Well, go ahead and make
yourselves comfortable.
- [Olivia] I hate this so
much. I hate this so much.
I hate this so much.
- I like your clip thing.
- What?
- Your...
- Oh, oh, it's a hair-
hair clip. Hair clip.
- Right. That makes sense.
- Thanks.
Thanks, it was my mom's.
- Oh, cool. Vintage.
- Yeah, totally.
- I- I think I've had
this since high school.
- Guys, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.
Hey, Brent, do you
maybe wanna scooch over?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Okay, well, maybe
we want something
a little bit more upbeat.
Let's get this party
started. Shall we?
Oh, I'm so sorry, Joe, what
would you like to drink?
- 377, I'll take one of those?
- Oh, um, actually
those are Brent's,
but I could run out and-
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm so sorry, no, please.
Um what you're having
looks great, Olivia.
Just one of those.
- Great. Another vodka get
cranberry coming right up.
(ambient music)
(Brent clears throat)
- It's just I have to drive
like 20 minutes to get them
and they're hard to find.
- Oh, no.
I totally get it man.
- Cool.
- Actually, no, not
indifferent. Brent's a dick.
- (man) Dude, Dad is
gonna kill me.
I don't even know.
I- I- I'm in the middle
of fucking nowhere.
Well, I didn't check.
I figured you would've
filled up the tank.
Really? In the trunk?
No, I didn't check.
How would I even know?
(ominous music)
(indicator ticking)
Yeah, okay. All right,
I'm checking it out now.
(door thuds)
Oh shit, dude. You're
still on level 12?
Dude, it's so easy.
When the horse
bear guy shows up,
you just gotta use
your super move.
(paper rustling)
No, the- the- the- the
power spin kick one.
No, dude, don't
just use a cheat.
Yeah, it- it's just really easy.
(dogs barking)
(indicator ticking)
(ominous music)
Dude. This place is
fucking super creepy.
Look, I'm not seeing anything.
Oh, I found it.
(ominous music)
It's out. Yeah, thanks, dude.
Look, can you just
get off your ass
and come pick me up?
So there's- there's this
gas station that's about
a mile back, if you can
stop on the way here.
No, I'm not walking now.
Dude. Just pause it
for like 10 minutes.
Grab mom's keys and
come get me, okay?
Thanks, asshole.
(ominous music)
(ominous music)
(upbeat music on headphones)
(notification hoots)
(notification chimes)
(pop song on headphones)
- [Monster voice] Hey,
cutie. (screams)
- Ahhh!
- [Olivia] Okay,
fine. Two drinks.
The bus didn't leave
for another two hours
and I had time to kill.
- Who wants shots?
- Oh, I don't think-
- I don't think so.
- Oh, I happen to
know that neither
of you are driving
tonight, Uber Joe.
(Joe chuckles)
- Okay.
- Okay. Olivia?
- Okay. Okay, yes.
- Okay. Thank you.
To old friends and new. Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
I know, bad idea. Woo.
- It's like literally
for anything.
So let's say you
needed a- a plumber.
Instead of going online
and searching for a
plumber, you would just put,
like type plumber into the app
and then we would
connect you with one
immediately.
It's all-encompassing.
- Totally. (chuckles)
So what do you do?
- Oh, nothing really.
I'm just like figuring
things out right now, so,
I live at my parents,
which is kind of weird.
- No, no, not at all.
If my parents still-
if they lived out here,
I'd be crashing with them
because rent's a nightmare.
- Yeah.
- What do you do for fun?
- Oh, I- I read a lot.
- Oh, it's... Read?
Like, it's refreshing
to meet someone
who actually reads something
other than headlines.
- No, that's totally
what I meant. You...
Well, you read read?
- Sh, don't tell anyone.
- (chuckles) I
won't tell anyone.
- [Amanda] You're acting
like you don't even care.
- Because I don't.
- Why can't you
at least pretend to be involved?
- [Brent] Honey, you
don't even ask me.
I have to get up to
work at 05:00 AM.
- [Amanda] Jesus
Christ, oh my God.
You're embarrassing me.
- It sounds like
it's time to go home.
- Yeah, I should say so.
- Ooh. Oh God.
Ooh. Either I'm wasted or...
Nope, I'm just wasted.
- Are you okay?
- Yep. Probably shouldn't be
drinking so much on my meds.
(chuckles) Sorry.
- Do you have a ride home?
Yeah, I'm just,
I'll take the bus.
I'm like 45 minutes
outside of town.
I'll just, I'll Uber
there. It's fine.
- Can your parents come pick
you up or maybe a friend?
- I live alone.
- Do you think maybe we
could just Uber together
or maybe you could even
stay here at Amanda's.
I just wouldn't leave you all
alone and like this and...
- No, we- we can share an Uber.
- Great, that's great.
(material rustles)
- Yep, I passed out the
second I got in the car.
Not in a cute way either.
Like in a sloppy
drooly way.
Sorry.
- We're at the bus station?
You sure you're okay?
- Oh, I'm fine. I was not fine.
Not even a little bit.
(stammers) I'm fine.
It was really nice to meet you.
- Yeah, do you think that
I could get your number
just to make sure that
you get, uh, home okay?
- Sure.
- Yeah, sure.
Great.
(ominous music)
- [Olivia] And just like that,
the cringiest fake party
became a nice night.
A really nice night.
- Cool.
(mellow music)
- Ooh. (sighs) Thanks again.
Um, excuse me?
Thanks, thank you.
- Text me when you
get home. Okay?
- Okay.
- [Olivia] Now I just had to
do my best not to throw up.
Okay, so this part's a bit
of a blurry drunken stupor,
but I'll do my best.
(suspenseful music)
Something was going
on downstairs.
And I guess I was curious.
I dunno, maybe I thought
Aurora was making nachos.
But the sounds weren't
coming from the kitchen.
They were coming
from the basement.
(door creaks)
(items crashing)
(screaming)
(ominous music)
- Help me, please.
Please help me. Please,
please. (screams)
(phone vibrating)
- I wish I could tell
you how that ended,
but I really don't remember.
And, frankly, I figured
it was just a dream.
Hello?
- Hey, it's Amanda. Just
calling to see how you're doing.
- Um, I'm- I'm fine.
Thanks for checking.
Hope you had a good time
at the party last night.
I feel just so sorry
about how it ended.
Brent and I feel
terrible about it.
We hope I can make
it up to you though.
It's- it's totally fine.
- Is everything okay over there?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry.
Um, thanks again
for inviting me.
- Of course. Anytime.
Anyway, I think that you may
have left your scarf here,
but I can just drop
it off or whatever.
I know you don't
have your own car.
- No, no, no. That's fine.
Um, no, I mean, I- I'll just-
I'll- I'll come by and-
and grab it sometime.
- Okay. Well, you know where
I live, so stop by anytime.
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay. Bye.
- Brent!
(screw driver clacks)
- [Olivia] I know, I know.
How the hell could
I just ignore that?
But trust me, between my
meds and Aurora's margaritas,
I've had weirder dreams.
- Please help me!
Please, please, ah!
- [Olivia] I figured I'd
check, just to be safe.
(door creaks)
(ominous music)
I honestly hadn't been
down since I moved back in.
It was mainly just
storage for old furniture,
and it smelled terrible.
(ominous music)
(phone vibrating)
(notification chimes)
(mellow music)
(notification hoots)
(mellow music continues)
(notification chimes)
(mellow music continues)
Yep. Just a weird dream.
Nothing to worry about.
I hadn't been on a real
date since college,
and I really wanted to go,
but first I had
to get past Aurora
who was probably still
pissed about last night.
I just needed an
excuse to go out again.
- Hey, Liv, so,
where were you last night?
- I left my card and
the bus was late again.
- Why do you look cute?
- Laundry day.
- Wait, you're leaving again?
- Yeah, it's- it's
just an appointment.
I'm outta refills, so.
- You're acting shady
as fuck, but whatever.
Dude, if you have a yeast
infection, you can just tell me.
- Aurora, I'm not
doing anything.
There's nothing wrong with
going to an appointment.
- Is that my shirt?
- No.
- No. Yes, it is.
You're stretching it out.
Yep. She was pissed.
- (chuckles) Liv, I'm joking.
God, chill out.
Dude, come on.
Stop being stupid.
I just- I just miss you.
- Yeah, I- I miss you too.
God so bored. There's
nothing to do here alone.
I mean, gimme something
to do, anything.
Wait, I have an idea.
(drawer clatters)
(items clacking)
Dun dun dun dun
- No, I- I really, I have to go.
- Come on. We'll set
it up in the attic.
It'll be like old times.
One hour, tops.
Then you can go into town
and get your crazy pills.
- Okay.
- (TV reporter) If you've seen
this missing person, please
contact the police immediately.
- Spirits, are you with us?
- [Olivia] This was good.
I hadn't spent enough
time with Aurora,
and she really is
my best friend.
Plus the last thing I needed
was
an Aurora tantrum
because, well...
(Aurora screeching)
My best friend's fucking dead.
Dead person tantrums
get pretty ugly.
So in college, Aurora was
into some weird satanic stuff.
I always went along with it,
but I never really
believed in it.
- Liv, you can't eat chips
when we summon ghosts.
It's disrespectful.
- I'm sorry. I'm just starving.
- Dude, your fingers are nasty.
(Olivia sighs)
Once again, spirits,
are you with us?
(upbeat music)
- It's freezing?
Oh no.
- What?
- (stammers) Nothing.
Maybe we should stop.
- Come on. Don't be a pussy.
(Olivia sighs)
Ready? Why have you come here?
(Aurora swooshes)
- Aurora was definitely
still pissed.
(squishing sound)
Aurora?
Aurora,
what are you doing?
(tense music)
(Olivia panting)
(Aurora speaking Latin)
(Aurora screeching)
- Yep. That's exactly
what I was afraid of.
(door clattering)
(door thuds)
- Oh shit. We got
messages from the station.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Ah shit. Think I
left my phone inside.
- Oh, go ahead. I'll wait.
Oh, damn. That was quick.
Oh, shit. Lady,
what are you doing?
- I have some questions.
- You realize I can
arrest you for this?
- Do you got any leads?
(Leslie sighs)
- No, not yet.
We actually just got
some information from-
- The guy who went missing from
his broken
down car last night.
- God damn, I literally
just got that.
- And his mom
called the station.
So, any leads?
- Well, nothing I can
share with you yet.
You know, you really
oughta get out of this car.
Jacobs isn't as friendly
with the media as I am.
- I'll talk to you later.
(suspenseful music)
- Right, I bet we will.
(door knocking)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Come in., come in.
Take a seat.
- [Olivia] Joe
seemed super nervous,
which made me not
nervous, I guess?
- It's chilly.
- Oh, it's freezing. Still
awkward, but not nervous.
- Can I get you something?
I- I- I- got some water or
some- some orange juice or wine?
- Um, wine if that's-
if that's okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Great, great, I'll
just get some wine. (chuckles)
- It smells great.
- Thank you, I don't
wanna count my chickens,
but I think it's gonna
be pretty delicious.
(alarm beeps)
No.
(alarm beeps)
(fire crackling)
(brooding music)
(brooding music continues)
(sheet flutters)
(Aurora growling)
(Aurora growling)
(brooding music continues)
(head thudding)
(brooding music continues)
(chains rattling)
(Aurora growling)
Sorry, I guess I overestimated
my cooking skill.
- No, it's fine. I love pizza.
- Oh, how- how do
you like the wine?
- Oh, it's good.
Your place is- your
place is super nice.
- Mm, thank you.
Yeah, the, um, place
was already furnished
when I moved in.
The landlord said I
couldn't move anything.
- Oh, your landlord
has good taste.
- Mm, guess so.
Now you know you don't have
to come here to,
right, to- to me.
I am the proud owner
of a car. No offense.
- No, I know. I just-
I don't mind the trip.
I- I kind of like
the time to myself.
- Yeah, but don't
you live alone?
- Oh, crap. Oh yeah.
No, I just mean like
outside the house.
Good save, I think.
- (snorts) Yeah.
- Okay. The word is dining room.
And on the count of three, we
both say a word that we think
of when we hear dining room.
And then eventually we
say a bunch of words
and we get to that.
We get to the same word. Okay?
Yes. You ready?
- All right, yeah.
- Okay. Okay, okay,
one, two, three.
- Swan napkin.
- Chair.
- Shit, that's two
words. (chuckles)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. (chuckles)
- [Olivia] I had to go.
I was having a really nice
time,
but I felt guilty for leaving
Aurora two nights in a row.
- You okay?
- (stammers) Yeah.
- Do you need anything?
- No.
- Sorry. I'm being weird.
(Olivia sighs)
I don't know why, I just,
um... Sorry. (chuckles)
It's really nice to get out.
- Yeah, definitely.
(mellow music)
(phone vibrating)
- [Olivia] Well,
she's already annoyed.
What's another 15 minutes?
(mellow music)
(door clattering)
Maybe, just maybe,
Aurora settled down
and went to bed
and we'd hash it all
out in the morning
and everything would be okay.
Maybe I'd even
tell her about Joe.
(soft footsteps)
- [Aurora] Where were
you?
- Nope. Still pissed.
My appointment.
(suspenseful music)
(fingers rattling)
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
No, I'm not fucking
okay. (growling)
I'm- I'm sorry.
You- you're right. I've
been gone too much.
I- I- I've had a lot to do, so.
- Bullshit, do you know
how lonely I am here?
You're supposed to
be my best friend.
- I am your best friend.
- Then why you leaving me alone?
- I'm not. (panting)
(Aurora speaking in
a foreign language)
(Aurora screeches)
(Olivia whines and grunts)
(panting)
- [Olivia] Like I said, Aurora
had had plenty of tantrums,
but this was different.
This was the first time
I ever felt unsafe.
(Aurora whimpering)
(ominous music)
(Aurora whimpering)
(melancholic music)
(Aurora whimpering)
I'm sorry, it's just that
I don't know what's going on.
I just get so angry. (sobbing)
I'm so lonely here.
(melancholic music continues)
(Aurora sobbing)
Can I ask you something?
What?
- Why did you do it?
- (sniffs) Do what?
- You know, why?
(eerie music)
- Because I missed you.
(eerie music continues)
Please don't leave
me alone. Okay?
(eerie music continues)
- [Olivia] So
remember when I said
I'm definitely not
innocent? Here's why.
Aurora had just turned 21
and she wanted to go
to this big frat party
This time I was the
one who drank too much.
She mentioned that some guy
was being creepy with her,
but I blacked out and
somehow left without her.
She ended up walking back alone
and the drunk frat guy
pulled a hit and run.
She died there all
alone in the street.
After it happened, I
completely spiraled.
But then I remembered
something.
Before she died,
we had gotten into
some serious occult satanic
stuff, like dark web stuff.
Aurora ordered this
book of spells.
(eerie music)
We had made this promise
to each other that if one
of us died, we would try to
bring the other one back.
And a promise is
a promise, right?
(Olivia reciting Latin spell)
Aurora Wilkins (continues
reciting Latin spell)
I did it just like she showed
me, just like we practiced.
She told me that it had
to be done exactly right
or it wouldn't work.
Or worse.
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(eerie music continues)
(fire crackling)
(ominous music)
(bones crackling)
(ominous music continues)
She didn't really explain
what or worse meant,
but it did work, sort of.
And now I needed to fix it.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
This had all gone on
long enough. I needed
to tell someone.
It's super embarrassing,
but Joe was honestly the only
other friend I had to go to,
unless you count Amanda.
I didn't really know
how to go about it,
but I figured if there
was a way to fix Aurora,
this was the place to start.
(upbeat music)
(music starts)
(music ends abruptly)
(sirens wailing)
- Well, any ideas?
- Not one goddam footprint.
Could be looking
at a professional.
- What, like a serial killer?
Jacobs, there's one body.
- I'm guessing we won't luck
out with the fingerprint.
- Well, coroner's on his way.
- No, I don't see the point.
Not gonna be able
to identify him.
- Poor son of a bitch.
- Let's start by checking
with the bordering states.
If this guy's the real deal,
killer struck there too.
- How do I explain this in the
least batshit way possible?
So, Joe, my best friend's dead.
Um, half dead.
Or maybe I should open
with a joke or something.
Oh, god, no, that's
even weirder.
I lost my best friend
a few years ago.
- I'm sorry.
- It's more complicated than
that. Okay, well, here it goes.
(brooding music)
It worked.
- Uh-huh.
- Everything was great at first.
She- she stays inside the house.
Um, she didn't seem to mind it.
But then after a few years,
she started getting weird.
Like- like she was always
needy, but something changed.
It was like hanging
out was never enough.
She wanted me around her 24/7.
And now it's so much worse.
Like I- I don't know
what's happening,
but she's turning into
something else, like demonic.
Oh my god, this was a bad idea.
I'm so sorry, I... Forget it.
Just...
- No, wait, tell me
what we need to do.
(optimistic music)
(people chattering)
(phone ringing)
- Matherson?
- [Maya] What do you
got for me, Detective?
- Woman, how did you
give this number?
- It's not hard.
- (sighs) We're
waiting on the coroner.
- Okay, what about
the traffic cam?
- What- what traffic cam?
- [Maya] The one on
the corner of Smith
and South Ave, it's
like a block away from
where the last guy
was heard from.
- Jesus Christ. Where are
you getting this from?
And how do you
have it before me?
Do your job, Detective. I
mean, where are you now?
- We're- we're on the road.
- Why do I hear voices?
Are you at a bar?
- We'll call you when
we have something, okay?
(people chattering)
- Who's that?
- Hey, I think they released
the pictures from
the traffic cam
near the second crime scene.
- [Olivia] Why couldn't I
have taken Latin in college?
Three years of French. Really?
- What? No good?
- No, I don't
understand any of this.
Aurora taught me most of it.
That name. It only showed up
after I brought back Aurora.
What about Moloch?
Yeah, M-O-L-O-C-H.
(keyboard typing)
- Okay. Yeah. (chuckles)
Here, Moloch, I mean,
you right, it's a demon.
It comes from hell via a host.
It says in its demonic form
has regenerative ability,
so that's a problem.
- (sighs) Well, what
about reversing the spell?
- Yeah. Gimme a second.
(keyboard typing)
Yep. Look, I think I might've
found something here.
Check this out.
It says here that
we can reverse it
if we accompany it
with a immortal wound.
Something that would
usually kill a person?
- So I'm supposed to like stab
her and hope for the best?
I definitely didn't think
I could kill Aurora.
Okay. Just send me the link.
- Okay.
(keyboard typing)
(ominous music)
(mouse clicking)
(ominous music continues)
Maybe we shouldn't be looking
at these satanic sites
because, you know, we
don't know what kind
of weirdos are putting
information on there.
Anyway, I'm just gonna
look at this book. Okay?
Hmm, oh wait, what if we...
What if we use the same spell?
We just reverse the words.
It's like (speaking in
a foreign language)-
- Maybe it was selfish of
me to drag Joe into this.
He's a nice person and
I'm,
I'm- I'm fine.
(mellow music)
(bell rings)
- I think that's the food.
(mellow music)
(phone ringing)
- I thought you'd never call.
- [Leslie] I think we have a
suspect and I'll fill you in.
But just promise me
you won't run the story
until we get a warrant.
- Perfect.
(dramatic music)
- [Reporter] We've just
received an unofficial update
from the police on the current
missing person situation.
The body of the man found this
morning has been identified
as 21-year-old Shane Colson.
Our thoughts and prayers
go out to his family.
They are also saying
that they believe
that they now have a suspect
seen here on the
night of the event,
less than half a mile
from the crime scene.
We're hearing that the suspect-
- Well, that's not good.
- Has been identified
as 27-year-old Olivia Dawson.
The whereabouts of Ethan Jones
and Daniel Garcia
are still unknown.
(eerie music)
- Hey, Liv, you know, I was
thinking that in War of Worlds,
most monsters have to go out
the way they come in, so it's...
Hey, Liv?
(brooding music)
- [Olivia] I figured the
police would be there
by the time I got
home, but I was wrong.
I heard later that the
news ran that story
with my name hours before the
police even had a warrant.
Whether I liked it or not,
this was all up to me.
(door creaks)
(brooding music continues)
It smelled so bad.
I was really hoping
there was just
some horrible mold infestation.
(brooding music continues)
And I was really hoping
that lump in the sheet
wasn't what I thought it was.
(brooding music continues)
(brooding music continues)
Yep. There it was, a foot.
Please don't be dead. Please
don't be dead. Please don't be
dead.
(sheet tearing)
(Olivia gasps)
Okay. Maybe not
dead, maybe alive.
Gotta move fast.
(Olivia panting)
(brooding music continues)
- [Aurora voice] Well, this is
awkward.
- Shit. (Aurora growls)
(Olivia whines and grunts)
- Later, bitch.
(Olivia grunts)
(Olivia thuds)
(ominous music)
- This was bad. Really bad.
This wasn't Aurora. This
was- this was a demon.
And maybe, just
maybe the part of her
that wasn't a demon was
still my best friend.
Aurora, I give up.
Please, just come back down.
You were right. Okay?
I- I- I've been a
really sucky friend.
I was totally selfish.
(melancholic music)
I'll- I'll help you,
okay?
I'll... Just- just- just
come back down, okay?
I need you.
(door creaking)
(feet thumping)
Please be human.
Please be human.
Please be human.
- Hey, slut.
(feet clacking)
Cheers.
- Cheers.
So, what's going on?
- You really don't know, do you?
- I want to.
- I mean, I
think it's pretty obvious.
(Aurora sighs)
Look, you can't
mess with the dead
without some hardcore
consequences.
- What do you mean?
(Aurora sighs)
- I'm you, Liv.
- You gotta be
fucking kidding me .
- Relax. Have a drink.
- No, no, I- I brought you back.
- (scoffs) Well, yeah, sort
of, in spirit.
Look, when you did the ritual,
you got almost everything right
besides the physical part.
We needed a host and,
well, here you were.
- We?
- Yeah. Big surprise.
When you brought me
back from the grave,
I did not come alone.
(Aurora sighs)
Ever since I woke
back up, there's been
something inside me.
Well, us, it's always been there
right beneath the surface.
I try to push it down, but
it just keeps coming right back
up.
(suspenseful music)
(flesh crunching)
(Aurora growls)
You know what I'm talking about.
Where have you been, Liv?
- Wait, what? Don't
you already know?
- Well, no, I mean,
sometimes you take over.
Sometimes I do.
It does. I...
Look, it's complicated.
The thing is, whatever's
in me needs to eat.
I need to eat.
That's where these
assholes come in.
- What- what about them?
- Come on, they're
fucking evil, Liv.
Why the hell am I here
in the first place?
Some entitled little
perv thought he had
the right to touch me?
Then another guy
drove shit-faced.
Do you know he got off with
community service? Yeah.
So we killed the shit out of
'em Feast on their flesh.
What's the problem? Doin'
everyone a fucking service.
(ominous music)
(Aurora groans and sighs)
So what do we do now, huh?
Can't exactly go to the
cops, right? (chuckles)
All right, look,
I'll make you a deal.
We stay in this house.
We never leave and
I'll do my best
to stop indulging, deal?
(ominous music)
(Olivia whines)
- Come on, great.
- All right. (grunts)
You know, honestly, I'm
actually pretty happy
that this is all out in
the open now, you know?
I think it's good for us.
(eerie music)
All right, come on,
let's go upstairs.
Smells like shit down here.
- [Olivia] This was
beyond messed up
and it was completely my fault.
- Come on, Liv.
- [voicemail] Hi, it's Olivia.
So sorry to miss you.
Leave me a message and
I'll call you back.
- Hey, Liv, it's Joe.
Again, just calling to check in,
make sure everything's okay.
Just, um, gimme a call back
whenever you get a chance. Okay?
Whenever you get
this. Thanks, bye.
(phone clatters)
(Joe sighs)
(ominous music)
(keyboard typing)
(eerie music)
Oh, shit.
- [Olivia] Well, at least
the guy's chained up in the
basement we're still alive.
That was something.
- Dude, badass, right?
One of the perks
of hosting a demon.
What flavor marg you want?
- Um, regular.
- (snorts) Called it.
- [Olivia] So that was it.
I guess I just wait
for the cops to show.
I'd confess, go to jail,
and I'd have no one
to blame but myself.
(blender whirring)
(door knocking)
And there they are.
(blender whirring)
(door knocking)
Or not.
- Surprise.
- Amanda, what are
you doing here?
- I was just going to
brunch at my friend's place
who lives right by here,
so I thought I'd stop by.
(door clattering)
So how are you?
- Good, sorry, it's-
it's really not a good time.
- Who's this?
- [Olivia] Hold on. What?
- Oh, hi. (chuckles) I'm Amanda.
I'm so sorry. Did I wake you?
- Hi, Amanda. I'm
Aurora, Olivia's roommate
- [Olivia] And I'm the most
gullible idiot in the world.
- I'm so sorry.
Olivia never mentioned
that she had a roommate.
- Yeah, she does.
- Well I was just here
to drop off a scarf
that you left at my
place the other night
and I'll just be on my way.
It was so nice meeting you,
A- Aurora, Auror-Aurora.
- Hey, Amanda. Would you
like a little morning mar?
I just made a whole batch
and we shouldn't drink
it all ourselves.
- [Olivia] Amanda,
please for once,
just sense the tone and go
away.
God, damn it, Amanda.
I wasn't seeing things.
Aurora was real and she
was a lying asshole.
I could hear my phone
ringing upstairs. New plan.
Get Amanda out of here
safely. Get the phone.
Reverse the curse.
- I'm so sorry. Aurora,
you look so familiar.
Have we met?
- Just one of those faces.
- I bet it's from all that
Facebook investigating I did
on Olivia's page.
Wow, that's so embarrassing.
I'm like so crazy.
- [Olivia] Amanda, you
have no idea what crazy is.
(floor thumping)
- Did you guys hear that?
Oh my God. Do you have
a pet? I love dogs.
- It's probably
just the plumbing.
- Are you sure, 'cause it
was like really, really-
- Are we sure we
don't have a dog?
- Sorry. (chuckles)
Anyways, cheers.
Cheers.
- Oh, hey, Amanda.
You mentioned the
other night, right?
- Oh, right.
- Oh, no.
We had just this small
get together at my place
and, Olivia, I've been
meaning to ask you.
I heard you really
hit it off with Joe.
- Joe?
- Thanks a lot, Amanda.
- Just some guy. (chuckles)
- Oh yeah, right. I've heard
about all your
little dinner dates.
- Oh my God, Olivia,
why don't you ever tell
me stuff like this?
- Sorry. I guess I
just forgot. (chuckles)
- Should I make some more?
- Oh, you know, I
really should be going.
- One more.
- Oh, my friend's probably
waiting for me.
- One more.
- [Aurora] Hey, Liv,
can you help me out
in the kitchen for a sec?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm just gonna go use
your restroom. Thank you.
- [Olivia] Crap. Oh,
this is gonna get ugly.
(class clinking)
(ice clatters)
- So that's where you've been?
Running around with
your little boy toy.
All your new friends, Amanda?
What am I, your
fucking housewife now?
- What happened to us
being the same person?
- Worth a shot.
Could tell you're about
to do something stupid.
- The stupid thing I did
was believe your bullshit.
And the guys downstairs?
- Been keeping 'em quiet.
Combo your meds, your
emergency benzos.
A little bit of Benadryl,
obviously tequila.
Just... I didn't wanna eat you.
I love you. I...
I need you.
(ominous music)
But if you're gonna
keep doing this,
I'll make sure you can't leave.
- Ow, fuck!
(Aurora bellowing)
Ah, ah!
(Aurora growling)
(tense music)
(Aurora bellowing)
- Hey?
You must be Aurora.
(spear swooshes)
- And you must be Joe.
(spear swooshes and thuds)
(Joe coughs)
- Joe!
(Amanda crashes)
(Joe whines)
(Aurora snickers)
(glass shatters)
(Aurora grunts)
- My margaritas.
- Fuck your margaritas.
(Aurora bellowing)
Shit
Ah!
(bones crunching)
Ah! (whines)
- Shady-ass bitch.
You betrayed me for that dude?
He's not even fucking cute.
Aw, what's the matter, Liv?
You want me back?
- Because you made me promise!
(Aurora bellows)
(Olivia pants and grunts)
(Aurora bellows)
(Olivia panting and grunting)
(tense music)
- Come out, come out,
Olivia. (snickering)
(Olivia panting and grunting)
Come on, you just gonna
hide in a room forever?
(Olivia panting)
You're nothing without me.
(Aurora growling)
(door thuds)
- (grunts) Ah!
(door thudding)
(window clattering)
(Aurora growls)
(door creaks)
(nails clacking)
Pussy.
(tool thuds)
(flesh mushing)
(Olivia panting)
Seriously?
Do you know who I am?
(eerie music)
(Olivia panting)
(Aurora growling)
(eerie music)
- Moloch?
Here goes nothing.
Hope you're right, Joe.
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Aurora gasping)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
- Please, please.
(Aurora gasping)
(Aurora gasping)
- What do you want me to do?
(Olivia whimpers)
- I love you, Liv.
I wanna rest.
You're right.
(gasps) I made you do it.
I made you bring me back.
(Aurora gasps)
I made you do anything.
(Aurora gasping)
I'm sorry, but I- I got- I
gotta do it one more time.
Finish the spell, Liv.
(Aurora gasps)
(eerie music)
Please.
(Olivia sobbing)
(eerie music continues)
Do it, slut.
(Olivia sobbing)
(suspenseful music)
(Aurora groans and gasps)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Aurora explodes)
(flames roaring)
(fire crackling)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(coughing)
(flames roaring)
(piano tolling)
- [Olivia] Help?
- Olivia?
- [Olivia] Amanda?
- Olivia. Where are you, Olivia?
- [Olivia] I'm up here.
- Where are you?
- Amanda, I'm coming.
(soft rock music)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(flame roars)
(Olivia coughing)
- Joe, Joe, Joe. (panting)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
- Holy shit. The
boys are down here!
(soft rock music continues)
(fire crackling)
(music ends)
- Well, there you go.
That's the story.
I guess I'll give them
the short version.
I brought my friend
back from the dead,
but I didn't know she
was eating people.
And then I saw them
in the basement
and she told me
what she was doing.
And then I found the spell
to reverse the curse.
It worked, she exploded.
- Listen, listen, there
were two missing boys
chained up in your basement.
- Yes.
- So how in the hell you
just gonna sit here
and act like you weren't
the one that put 'em there?
- I told you.
- Look, Olivia, cooperate,
things will get a
lot easier for ya.
(lively music)
(Amanda clears throat)
- Excuse me. Just from
the fire, little cough.
- I'm on the side of
the road. I'm outta gas.
I'm talking to my
brother on the phone.
He's talking about this
fucking stupid video game
that I just don't care about.
- Yeah, A zombie chick.
I mean, I don't know.
The thing grabbed me out
from underneath the bed.
All I remember is seeing this-
this- this- this
thing behind me.
These- these eyes. I don't know.
I don't know. I turned around.
I'm getting my- I'm getting
jumped by something.
It's not a fucking person.
And the next thing you know,
I'm- I'm- I'm in this basement
with these fucking
two guys, that's it.
- Did you see her?
- I remember that
her eyes were yellow,
but like not in a pretty way.
And she had these fangs.
- There was the-
the girl, the- the-
the thing was with the
other girl, the normal girl.
So it was like a normal girl
and then the monster girl.
- Then she caught the fire
poker and threw it back.
And that was it for me.
- When was the last
time I did drugs?
I just got drugged.
- Monster, fine. Fire, fine.
Blood, no way.
- No, I don't do drugs.
All right, I do drugs
every now and then, I...
- Should I have my lawyer here.
I just thought of that.
- I mean, she beat
the shit out of me.
Out of me. I mean,
I did varsity.
- I was totally fine. Like I was
gonna have at least
two or three,
and then I was
gonna go to brunch.
I was going to
brunch after this.
So I was planning on
drinking even more. Okay.
This is like pre-gaming
for brunch. I know.
I'm so crazy.
- You still just gonna go ahead
and stick with this
demon monster girl story?
- It's the truth.
(dramatic music)
- Uh, now the situation
hasn't changed.
However, I'll go
through it again.
The so-called demon girl
was apparently a cannibal,
which explains the missing skin
on the corpse that we found.
Also the missing button
that we found is also one
of the other victim's and
most likely there are more.
- So you're saying the official
word from the authorities is
that the culprit was a
resurrected demon cannibal girl?
- That's correct.
- And what about the house fire?
- The house fire was a result
of the demon girl exploding.
- Demon like a monster?
- Yes, ma'am.
- No further questions.
- So there you go.
Six days have passed and
we have some answers.
Back to you, John.
(suspenseful music)
- [Amanda] I'm kind of loving
this wheelchair look for you.
I know that's crazy. But...
Hey, Brent, do you really think
that this is the
right time for that?
- What?
- Are you even listening to me?
- Could you put... Okay, fine.
You're just being a dick.
(sighs) I'm so sorry. Um,
so how's the
new place coming?
- It's coming, strange.
Well, again, if you
ever need anything,
just let us know,
okay, right, Brent?
- Mm-hmm. Sure.
- Hey, you wanna
maybe put that down
for just like one
minute while we're
with my best friend
Olivia, getting drinks?
(phone clatters)
Very nice.
- Are you happy?
- Yes. I am much happier now.
I love it when you're
here and present with us.
- Mm-hmm, well, I'm a lot
happier when I'm not sober.
- [Olivia] So how am I now?
If you care. I'm good.
Really good.
Everything is perfect.
So, so happy.
- Sorry, guys. Newsflash.
She farts at home all the time.
- I fart at home secretly.
- Sorry, guys.
- Secret.
- Well, maybe not perfect.
- I wouldn't do it in a
bar. That's disgusting.
- [Olivia] But I'm out of the
house now and I'm having fun.
Just like Aurora, the real
Aurora would've wanted.
- You feel like a sociopath
because you just
farted in a bar.
- As for Joe and
I, we are great.
We're taking it slow,
literally and figuratively.
One more thing you should know.
You know how they say some
ideas
just aren't worth
trying, well...
(lively music)
(lively music continues)
(lid clinking)
Well, whoever said that,
never tried breakfast cookies.
(chuckles) Sorry. I know.
Bye now.
(heavy rock music begins)
(heavy rock music continues)
(heavy rock music continues)
- I'm just gonna go use
your restroom. Thank you.
(guitar strumming)
(phone vibrating)
- Yeah?
- Brent.
Something really
scary just happened
and I have to get
to Amy's for brunch.
- Are you peeing right now?
- Yes, I had like one
and a half margaritas.
Of course I'm peeing, Brent.
Brent, could you please
stop playing guitar
for like one second?
- Yeah. Yeah, you-
you had a margarita.
Sounds like a great
time. Hey, oh.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- K-Town's calling me, one
second.
Have fun okay?
- Brent?
- [Reporter] Six days have
passed and we have some
answers.
- [Newscaster] The chief of
police has already denounced
the statements made by
Detective Matherson and Jacobs
and has reportedly put
them both on paid leave.
Next, we go to Ken Kinderman
with the
forecast for this week.
Ken, what are we looking at?
- I thought I might
find you here.
Wanna buy me a drink, Detective?

Poop for me, boy.

- [Monster] There you are.
(screaming)
(brooding music)
- [Detective] Now the pictures
I showed you in this folder,
is that or is that not you?
- It is.
- And was it and was it not
the night of the murder?
- It was.
- [Detective] Well, how in
the hell do you explain it?
- [Olivia] Okay, it's
a valid question,
but the answer is complicated.
Look, I'm definitely
not innocent, but...
Okay. Let's go back
to the beginning.
(lively music)
I'm Olivia, by the way.
Welcome to my home.
Or what's left of it.
(Olivia sighs)
It's so damn hot.
The thermostat's been
busted for a while now.
And the window's been
stuck for even longer.
My parents left me this house
after they died in a car
accident almost a decade ago.
I thought about selling
it, but first off,
I'm a millennial with
a BA in philosophy
and zero marketable skills.
And, second, I really couldn't
because, well, you'll see.
In any case, I wasn't
going anywhere.
I'm on antidepressants,
even though I should probably
be on something stronger.
And lately, either
I was going crazy
or my pills were running
low, probably crazy.
So that's me.
Just your basic unemployed,
medicated, fragile white girl.
And before you ask, no, I
don't have a gluten allergy.
- This is Maya Moreno
reporting outside
of the town hall parking
lot where a farmer
and his wife
reportedly heard noises
and came to find a
piece of shocking
and offensive graffiti
lining the town hall walls.
We have blurred out the images
for our viewers at home.
- We take destruction
of property very
seriously around here.
Now with the help of
the neighborhood watch,
who's ever responsible
will be caught
much sooner rather than later.
- [Maya] Do you have any leads?
- [Leslie] No,
not at the moment.
However, we have our
entire team working on it.
- Detective Jacobs, do
you think this graffiti
has any connection to the
others
we've been seeing around town?
- Nope.
- Thank you, detectives.
This is Maya Moreno reporting
from the Town Hall Parking-
- [Man on T.V.] Of being alone.
Feeling like you're not
getting out there anymore?
Are you stuck in
the single life?
- [Olivia] So I wouldn't
say I was desperate.
I was fine here
alone in my house.
So, so happy.
(Aurora gasps)
- [Man on T.V.] is
designed by engineers using
a breakthrough new
algorithm to look-
- [Olivia] Okay. So
not totally alone.
- [Man on T.V.] We'll
simply pair you up again-
- [Olivia] Meet Aurora.
- Can you turn it down?
- [Aurora] Why are you
up early, you freak?
- Aurora, it's noon.
- Oh, yeah? Since when do
we wake up before 03:00?
- [Olivia] Aurora and I met
freshman year of college.
She was absolutely insane.
In a good way though:
confident, blunt,
fun, exciting,
everything I'm not.
We became inseparable.
We weirdly balanced
each other out.
Unfortunately, lately, things
had gotten a little weird
between us, like all-
(monster screeching)
But we'll get to that later.
- Whew, dude,
you were such a loser last
night.
You passed out after
like three beers.
- I know. I'm sorry.
Did you have fun?
- Totally, did you know that
chat roulette is still a thing?
(chuckles) You missed out
on the gnarliest sticks.
- I think I'm okay with that.
(lively music)
- Can I please fix your hair?
It drives me fucking nuts.
- Maybe later, I, um-
I gotta go into town to
refill my prescription.
I must have
miscounted last time.
- Boo, well, (groans)
make it quick, bitch.
You owe me for last night.
Oh, hey, grab some gummy
bears when you're out.
I'm gonna make the vodka ones.
Oh, hey, pick out the green
ones. They taste like mold.
(zipper zipping)
- [Olivia] I don't have a car.
My parents' minivan died
pretty soon after they did.
I didn't see the point
of buying a new one.
Like I said, I
don't get out much.
I like the bus though.
Gives me a little bit
of time by myself.
Trips into town are rare
these days, but I enjoy them.
Even if it is just
to pick up meds
and gummy bears
from the pharmacy.
- Olivia? Oh.
Oh my god, I haven't
seen you in forever.
- [Olivia] Oh, geez, Amanda.
Super popular, kinda mean in
high school. You know the type.
- Amanda.
- No, yeah, no. I- I know.
- Morning-after pill?
- What? No.
- Oh my God. I'm kidding.
- Oh. (chuckles)
- God, has it seriously
been since high school?
- I think so.
- Do you live around here?
- No, I'm still at
my parents' house.
- Oh, well, yeah, that's fine.
Like, I heard about what
happened to your parents.
So horrible. I'm just so sorry.
- [Olivia] She's nice now?
This was by far the
longest we'd ever spoken.
- Oh my God. Check
it out. (chuckles)
- Congrats. (chuckles)
- Thanks.
- Um, Jimmy?
- Oh my God. No. (chuckles)
No, we broke up literally
right after graduation. Yeah.
He and his husband
are adopting a baby
from like Asia or something.
Umm, but this guy is amazing.
Brent.
Yeah. Here, isn't he so cute?
He's like the sweetest.
- He looks nice.
- Hmm, so how are you?
Are you married?
- Oh. (chuckles) No.
- Wait, so you're not like
seeing anyone at all right now?
- Not that I know of.
- Oh, um, well actually,
I'm having a little
get-together tonight
if you wanna come.
You should totally join.
- No way. Not a chance.
Oh, um, thanks. But
I- I can't tonight.
Are you sure? You might
meet someone you like.
Brent and I are like
expert match makers.
Everyone says so.
It's hilarious.
- Sorry, I- I should get back.
My bus leaves soon.
- Oh, well, okay.
Bummer. But it was
nice seeing you.
Let's catch up.
- Sure. (chuckles)
- Amazing. I'll see you around.
- Bye.
- Well, that was fun
and unexpected.
Amanda seems to have changed
and it was really sweet
of her to invite me over.
But I knew I had to get home
or else I'd face the
wrath of an angry Aurora.
(notification beeps)
Forget how wildly unreliable
the bus is around here.
(notification chimes)
(lively music)
I figured Aurora
would understand.
What was I supposed to
do, freeze to death?
Oh God. I hope this
isn't a fancy thing.
- Olivia, hi. So pumped
you could make it.
- Oh, look at her. It
totally is a fancy thing.
(ambient music)
No one's here. I
showed up first, great.
Sorry, am I- am I early?
- No, you're fine.
Brent, you wanna
come maybe say hello?
- (sighs) Mm-hmm. Sure.
- [Olivia] Someone
really needed to show up.
This was brutal.
- Brent, nice to meet you.
- Hi. Yeah, I saw your photos.
I saw your photos?
What am I, a stalker?
- Okay.
- Okay, um, I'll
get you a cocktail?
Vodka cranberry girl?
- Sure. Yeah.
(Amanda giggles)
(ambient music)
Brent seemed nice.
So I'm really not supposed
to drink on these meds.
Plus I had eaten nothing but
green gummy bears all day.
But what's one cocktail?
(ambient music)
Nice wasn't the right
word to describe Brent.
Different maybe?
Whatever, the plan
was to have one drink
and then Uber back
to the bus station.
- Here.
- Oh, thank you. Thanks.
(lively music)
(bell dinging)
- [Amanda] Oh, are you ready?
- What?
(lively music)
- [Amanda] Joe, so
pumped you could make it.
Come in, come in, come in.
- I'm an idiot.
- Yeah, for sure.
- [Olivia] Of course
this was a setup.
- [Joe] I took an Uber
here. I hope that's okay.
- Yeah, of course. What- why-
- Who likes being set up?
No one. That's who.
- [Amanda] Oh,
Olivia, this is Joe.
- Um.
(ambient music)
Hi.
- Hi.
- Let me take your jackets.
- (container
clatters) Oh my God.
- I think he dropped
it. I got it. Did you...
- Thanks, um. Kill me.
Thank you.
- And yours. Thank you.
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, I'm sorry. Thanks.
- Well, go ahead and make
yourselves comfortable.
- [Olivia] I hate this so
much. I hate this so much.
I hate this so much.
- I like your clip thing.
- What?
- Your...
- Oh, oh, it's a hair-
hair clip. Hair clip.
- Right. That makes sense.
- Thanks.
Thanks, it was my mom's.
- Oh, cool. Vintage.
- Yeah, totally.
- I- I think I've had
this since high school.
- Guys, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.
Hey, Brent, do you
maybe wanna scooch over?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Okay, well, maybe
we want something
a little bit more upbeat.
Let's get this party
started. Shall we?
Oh, I'm so sorry, Joe, what
would you like to drink?
- 377, I'll take one of those?
- Oh, um, actually
those are Brent's,
but I could run out and-
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm so sorry, no, please.
Um what you're having
looks great, Olivia.
Just one of those.
- Great. Another vodka get
cranberry coming right up.
(ambient music)
(Brent clears throat)
- It's just I have to drive
like 20 minutes to get them
and they're hard to find.
- Oh, no.
I totally get it man.
- Cool.
- Actually, no, not
indifferent. Brent's a dick.
- (man) Dude, Dad is
gonna kill me.
I don't even know.
I- I- I'm in the middle
of fucking nowhere.
Well, I didn't check.
I figured you would've
filled up the tank.
Really? In the trunk?
No, I didn't check.
How would I even know?
(ominous music)
(indicator ticking)
Yeah, okay. All right,
I'm checking it out now.
(door thuds)
Oh shit, dude. You're
still on level 12?
Dude, it's so easy.
When the horse
bear guy shows up,
you just gotta use
your super move.
(paper rustling)
No, the- the- the- the
power spin kick one.
No, dude, don't
just use a cheat.
Yeah, it- it's just really easy.
(dogs barking)
(indicator ticking)
(ominous music)
Dude. This place is
fucking super creepy.
Look, I'm not seeing anything.
Oh, I found it.
(ominous music)
It's out. Yeah, thanks, dude.
Look, can you just
get off your ass
and come pick me up?
So there's- there's this
gas station that's about
a mile back, if you can
stop on the way here.
No, I'm not walking now.
Dude. Just pause it
for like 10 minutes.
Grab mom's keys and
come get me, okay?
Thanks, asshole.
(ominous music)
(ominous music)
(upbeat music on headphones)
(notification hoots)
(notification chimes)
(pop song on headphones)
- [Monster voice] Hey,
cutie. (screams)
- Ahhh!
- [Olivia] Okay,
fine. Two drinks.
The bus didn't leave
for another two hours
and I had time to kill.
- Who wants shots?
- Oh, I don't think-
- I don't think so.
- Oh, I happen to
know that neither
of you are driving
tonight, Uber Joe.
(Joe chuckles)
- Okay.
- Okay. Olivia?
- Okay. Okay, yes.
- Okay. Thank you.
To old friends and new. Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
I know, bad idea. Woo.
- It's like literally
for anything.
So let's say you
needed a- a plumber.
Instead of going online
and searching for a
plumber, you would just put,
like type plumber into the app
and then we would
connect you with one
immediately.
It's all-encompassing.
- Totally. (chuckles)
So what do you do?
- Oh, nothing really.
I'm just like figuring
things out right now, so,
I live at my parents,
which is kind of weird.
- No, no, not at all.
If my parents still-
if they lived out here,
I'd be crashing with them
because rent's a nightmare.
- Yeah.
- What do you do for fun?
- Oh, I- I read a lot.
- Oh, it's... Read?
Like, it's refreshing
to meet someone
who actually reads something
other than headlines.
- No, that's totally
what I meant. You...
Well, you read read?
- Sh, don't tell anyone.
- (chuckles) I
won't tell anyone.
- [Amanda] You're acting
like you don't even care.
- Because I don't.
- Why can't you
at least pretend to be involved?
- [Brent] Honey, you
don't even ask me.
I have to get up to
work at 05:00 AM.
- [Amanda] Jesus
Christ, oh my God.
You're embarrassing me.
- It sounds like
it's time to go home.
- Yeah, I should say so.
- Ooh. Oh God.
Ooh. Either I'm wasted or...
Nope, I'm just wasted.
- Are you okay?
- Yep. Probably shouldn't be
drinking so much on my meds.
(chuckles) Sorry.
- Do you have a ride home?
Yeah, I'm just,
I'll take the bus.
I'm like 45 minutes
outside of town.
I'll just, I'll Uber
there. It's fine.
- Can your parents come pick
you up or maybe a friend?
- I live alone.
- Do you think maybe we
could just Uber together
or maybe you could even
stay here at Amanda's.
I just wouldn't leave you all
alone and like this and...
- No, we- we can share an Uber.
- Great, that's great.
(material rustles)
- Yep, I passed out the
second I got in the car.
Not in a cute way either.
Like in a sloppy
drooly way.
Sorry.
- We're at the bus station?
You sure you're okay?
- Oh, I'm fine. I was not fine.
Not even a little bit.
(stammers) I'm fine.
It was really nice to meet you.
- Yeah, do you think that
I could get your number
just to make sure that
you get, uh, home okay?
- Sure.
- Yeah, sure.
Great.
(ominous music)
- [Olivia] And just like that,
the cringiest fake party
became a nice night.
A really nice night.
- Cool.
(mellow music)
- Ooh. (sighs) Thanks again.
Um, excuse me?
Thanks, thank you.
- Text me when you
get home. Okay?
- Okay.
- [Olivia] Now I just had to
do my best not to throw up.
Okay, so this part's a bit
of a blurry drunken stupor,
but I'll do my best.
(suspenseful music)
Something was going
on downstairs.
And I guess I was curious.
I dunno, maybe I thought
Aurora was making nachos.
But the sounds weren't
coming from the kitchen.
They were coming
from the basement.
(door creaks)
(items crashing)
(screaming)
(ominous music)
- Help me, please.
Please help me. Please,
please. (screams)
(phone vibrating)
- I wish I could tell
you how that ended,
but I really don't remember.
And, frankly, I figured
it was just a dream.
Hello?
- Hey, it's Amanda. Just
calling to see how you're doing.
- Um, I'm- I'm fine.
Thanks for checking.
Hope you had a good time
at the party last night.
I feel just so sorry
about how it ended.
Brent and I feel
terrible about it.
We hope I can make
it up to you though.
It's- it's totally fine.
- Is everything okay over there?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry.
Um, thanks again
for inviting me.
- Of course. Anytime.
Anyway, I think that you may
have left your scarf here,
but I can just drop
it off or whatever.
I know you don't
have your own car.
- No, no, no. That's fine.
Um, no, I mean, I- I'll just-
I'll- I'll come by and-
and grab it sometime.
- Okay. Well, you know where
I live, so stop by anytime.
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay. Bye.
- Brent!
(screw driver clacks)
- [Olivia] I know, I know.
How the hell could
I just ignore that?
But trust me, between my
meds and Aurora's margaritas,
I've had weirder dreams.
- Please help me!
Please, please, ah!
- [Olivia] I figured I'd
check, just to be safe.
(door creaks)
(ominous music)
I honestly hadn't been
down since I moved back in.
It was mainly just
storage for old furniture,
and it smelled terrible.
(ominous music)
(phone vibrating)
(notification chimes)
(mellow music)
(notification hoots)
(mellow music continues)
(notification chimes)
(mellow music continues)
Yep. Just a weird dream.
Nothing to worry about.
I hadn't been on a real
date since college,
and I really wanted to go,
but first I had
to get past Aurora
who was probably still
pissed about last night.
I just needed an
excuse to go out again.
- Hey, Liv, so,
where were you last night?
- I left my card and
the bus was late again.
- Why do you look cute?
- Laundry day.
- Wait, you're leaving again?
- Yeah, it's- it's
just an appointment.
I'm outta refills, so.
- You're acting shady
as fuck, but whatever.
Dude, if you have a yeast
infection, you can just tell me.
- Aurora, I'm not
doing anything.
There's nothing wrong with
going to an appointment.
- Is that my shirt?
- No.
- No. Yes, it is.
You're stretching it out.
Yep. She was pissed.
- (chuckles) Liv, I'm joking.
God, chill out.
Dude, come on.
Stop being stupid.
I just- I just miss you.
- Yeah, I- I miss you too.
God so bored. There's
nothing to do here alone.
I mean, gimme something
to do, anything.
Wait, I have an idea.
(drawer clatters)
(items clacking)
Dun dun dun dun
- No, I- I really, I have to go.
- Come on. We'll set
it up in the attic.
It'll be like old times.
One hour, tops.
Then you can go into town
and get your crazy pills.
- Okay.
- (TV reporter) If you've seen
this missing person, please
contact the police immediately.
- Spirits, are you with us?
- [Olivia] This was good.
I hadn't spent enough
time with Aurora,
and she really is
my best friend.
Plus the last thing I needed
was
an Aurora tantrum
because, well...
(Aurora screeching)
My best friend's fucking dead.
Dead person tantrums
get pretty ugly.
So in college, Aurora was
into some weird satanic stuff.
I always went along with it,
but I never really
believed in it.
- Liv, you can't eat chips
when we summon ghosts.
It's disrespectful.
- I'm sorry. I'm just starving.
- Dude, your fingers are nasty.
(Olivia sighs)
Once again, spirits,
are you with us?
(upbeat music)
- It's freezing?
Oh no.
- What?
- (stammers) Nothing.
Maybe we should stop.
- Come on. Don't be a pussy.
(Olivia sighs)
Ready? Why have you come here?
(Aurora swooshes)
- Aurora was definitely
still pissed.
(squishing sound)
Aurora?
Aurora,
what are you doing?
(tense music)
(Olivia panting)
(Aurora speaking Latin)
(Aurora screeching)
- Yep. That's exactly
what I was afraid of.
(door clattering)
(door thuds)
- Oh shit. We got
messages from the station.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Ah shit. Think I
left my phone inside.
- Oh, go ahead. I'll wait.
Oh, damn. That was quick.
Oh, shit. Lady,
what are you doing?
- I have some questions.
- You realize I can
arrest you for this?
- Do you got any leads?
(Leslie sighs)
- No, not yet.
We actually just got
some information from-
- The guy who went missing from
his broken
down car last night.
- God damn, I literally
just got that.
- And his mom
called the station.
So, any leads?
- Well, nothing I can
share with you yet.
You know, you really
oughta get out of this car.
Jacobs isn't as friendly
with the media as I am.
- I'll talk to you later.
(suspenseful music)
- Right, I bet we will.
(door knocking)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Come in., come in.
Take a seat.
- [Olivia] Joe
seemed super nervous,
which made me not
nervous, I guess?
- It's chilly.
- Oh, it's freezing. Still
awkward, but not nervous.
- Can I get you something?
I- I- I- got some water or
some- some orange juice or wine?
- Um, wine if that's-
if that's okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Great, great, I'll
just get some wine. (chuckles)
- It smells great.
- Thank you, I don't
wanna count my chickens,
but I think it's gonna
be pretty delicious.
(alarm beeps)
No.
(alarm beeps)
(fire crackling)
(brooding music)
(brooding music continues)
(sheet flutters)
(Aurora growling)
(Aurora growling)
(brooding music continues)
(head thudding)
(brooding music continues)
(chains rattling)
(Aurora growling)
Sorry, I guess I overestimated
my cooking skill.
- No, it's fine. I love pizza.
- Oh, how- how do
you like the wine?
- Oh, it's good.
Your place is- your
place is super nice.
- Mm, thank you.
Yeah, the, um, place
was already furnished
when I moved in.
The landlord said I
couldn't move anything.
- Oh, your landlord
has good taste.
- Mm, guess so.
Now you know you don't have
to come here to,
right, to- to me.
I am the proud owner
of a car. No offense.
- No, I know. I just-
I don't mind the trip.
I- I kind of like
the time to myself.
- Yeah, but don't
you live alone?
- Oh, crap. Oh yeah.
No, I just mean like
outside the house.
Good save, I think.
- (snorts) Yeah.
- Okay. The word is dining room.
And on the count of three, we
both say a word that we think
of when we hear dining room.
And then eventually we
say a bunch of words
and we get to that.
We get to the same word. Okay?
Yes. You ready?
- All right, yeah.
- Okay. Okay, okay,
one, two, three.
- Swan napkin.
- Chair.
- Shit, that's two
words. (chuckles)
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. (chuckles)
- [Olivia] I had to go.
I was having a really nice
time,
but I felt guilty for leaving
Aurora two nights in a row.
- You okay?
- (stammers) Yeah.
- Do you need anything?
- No.
- Sorry. I'm being weird.
(Olivia sighs)
I don't know why, I just,
um... Sorry. (chuckles)
It's really nice to get out.
- Yeah, definitely.
(mellow music)
(phone vibrating)
- [Olivia] Well,
she's already annoyed.
What's another 15 minutes?
(mellow music)
(door clattering)
Maybe, just maybe,
Aurora settled down
and went to bed
and we'd hash it all
out in the morning
and everything would be okay.
Maybe I'd even
tell her about Joe.
(soft footsteps)
- [Aurora] Where were
you?
- Nope. Still pissed.
My appointment.
(suspenseful music)
(fingers rattling)
Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
No, I'm not fucking
okay. (growling)
I'm- I'm sorry.
You- you're right. I've
been gone too much.
I- I- I've had a lot to do, so.
- Bullshit, do you know
how lonely I am here?
You're supposed to
be my best friend.
- I am your best friend.
- Then why you leaving me alone?
- I'm not. (panting)
(Aurora speaking in
a foreign language)
(Aurora screeches)
(Olivia whines and grunts)
(panting)
- [Olivia] Like I said, Aurora
had had plenty of tantrums,
but this was different.
This was the first time
I ever felt unsafe.
(Aurora whimpering)
(ominous music)
(Aurora whimpering)
(melancholic music)
(Aurora whimpering)
I'm sorry, it's just that
I don't know what's going on.
I just get so angry. (sobbing)
I'm so lonely here.
(melancholic music continues)
(Aurora sobbing)
Can I ask you something?
What?
- Why did you do it?
- (sniffs) Do what?
- You know, why?
(eerie music)
- Because I missed you.
(eerie music continues)
Please don't leave
me alone. Okay?
(eerie music continues)
- [Olivia] So
remember when I said
I'm definitely not
innocent? Here's why.
Aurora had just turned 21
and she wanted to go
to this big frat party
This time I was the
one who drank too much.
She mentioned that some guy
was being creepy with her,
but I blacked out and
somehow left without her.
She ended up walking back alone
and the drunk frat guy
pulled a hit and run.
She died there all
alone in the street.
After it happened, I
completely spiraled.
But then I remembered
something.
Before she died,
we had gotten into
some serious occult satanic
stuff, like dark web stuff.
Aurora ordered this
book of spells.
(eerie music)
We had made this promise
to each other that if one
of us died, we would try to
bring the other one back.
And a promise is
a promise, right?
(Olivia reciting Latin spell)
Aurora Wilkins (continues
reciting Latin spell)
I did it just like she showed
me, just like we practiced.
She told me that it had
to be done exactly right
or it wouldn't work.
Or worse.
(ominous music)
(eerie music)
(eerie music continues)
(fire crackling)
(ominous music)
(bones crackling)
(ominous music continues)
She didn't really explain
what or worse meant,
but it did work, sort of.
And now I needed to fix it.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
This had all gone on
long enough. I needed
to tell someone.
It's super embarrassing,
but Joe was honestly the only
other friend I had to go to,
unless you count Amanda.
I didn't really know
how to go about it,
but I figured if there
was a way to fix Aurora,
this was the place to start.
(upbeat music)
(music starts)
(music ends abruptly)
(sirens wailing)
- Well, any ideas?
- Not one goddam footprint.
Could be looking
at a professional.
- What, like a serial killer?
Jacobs, there's one body.
- I'm guessing we won't luck
out with the fingerprint.
- Well, coroner's on his way.
- No, I don't see the point.
Not gonna be able
to identify him.
- Poor son of a bitch.
- Let's start by checking
with the bordering states.
If this guy's the real deal,
killer struck there too.
- How do I explain this in the
least batshit way possible?
So, Joe, my best friend's dead.
Um, half dead.
Or maybe I should open
with a joke or something.
Oh, god, no, that's
even weirder.
I lost my best friend
a few years ago.
- I'm sorry.
- It's more complicated than
that. Okay, well, here it goes.
(brooding music)
It worked.
- Uh-huh.
- Everything was great at first.
She- she stays inside the house.
Um, she didn't seem to mind it.
But then after a few years,
she started getting weird.
Like- like she was always
needy, but something changed.
It was like hanging
out was never enough.
She wanted me around her 24/7.
And now it's so much worse.
Like I- I don't know
what's happening,
but she's turning into
something else, like demonic.
Oh my god, this was a bad idea.
I'm so sorry, I... Forget it.
Just...
- No, wait, tell me
what we need to do.
(optimistic music)
(people chattering)
(phone ringing)
- Matherson?
- [Maya] What do you
got for me, Detective?
- Woman, how did you
give this number?
- It's not hard.
- (sighs) We're
waiting on the coroner.
- Okay, what about
the traffic cam?
- What- what traffic cam?
- [Maya] The one on
the corner of Smith
and South Ave, it's
like a block away from
where the last guy
was heard from.
- Jesus Christ. Where are
you getting this from?
And how do you
have it before me?
Do your job, Detective. I
mean, where are you now?
- We're- we're on the road.
- Why do I hear voices?
Are you at a bar?
- We'll call you when
we have something, okay?
(people chattering)
- Who's that?
- Hey, I think they released
the pictures from
the traffic cam
near the second crime scene.
- [Olivia] Why couldn't I
have taken Latin in college?
Three years of French. Really?
- What? No good?
- No, I don't
understand any of this.
Aurora taught me most of it.
That name. It only showed up
after I brought back Aurora.
What about Moloch?
Yeah, M-O-L-O-C-H.
(keyboard typing)
- Okay. Yeah. (chuckles)
Here, Moloch, I mean,
you right, it's a demon.
It comes from hell via a host.
It says in its demonic form
has regenerative ability,
so that's a problem.
- (sighs) Well, what
about reversing the spell?
- Yeah. Gimme a second.
(keyboard typing)
Yep. Look, I think I might've
found something here.
Check this out.
It says here that
we can reverse it
if we accompany it
with a immortal wound.
Something that would
usually kill a person?
- So I'm supposed to like stab
her and hope for the best?
I definitely didn't think
I could kill Aurora.
Okay. Just send me the link.
- Okay.
(keyboard typing)
(ominous music)
(mouse clicking)
(ominous music continues)
Maybe we shouldn't be looking
at these satanic sites
because, you know, we
don't know what kind
of weirdos are putting
information on there.
Anyway, I'm just gonna
look at this book. Okay?
Hmm, oh wait, what if we...
What if we use the same spell?
We just reverse the words.
It's like (speaking in
a foreign language)-
- Maybe it was selfish of
me to drag Joe into this.
He's a nice person and
I'm,
I'm- I'm fine.
(mellow music)
(bell rings)
- I think that's the food.
(mellow music)
(phone ringing)
- I thought you'd never call.
- [Leslie] I think we have a
suspect and I'll fill you in.
But just promise me
you won't run the story
until we get a warrant.
- Perfect.
(dramatic music)
- [Reporter] We've just
received an unofficial update
from the police on the current
missing person situation.
The body of the man found this
morning has been identified
as 21-year-old Shane Colson.
Our thoughts and prayers
go out to his family.
They are also saying
that they believe
that they now have a suspect
seen here on the
night of the event,
less than half a mile
from the crime scene.
We're hearing that the suspect-
- Well, that's not good.
- Has been identified
as 27-year-old Olivia Dawson.
The whereabouts of Ethan Jones
and Daniel Garcia
are still unknown.
(eerie music)
- Hey, Liv, you know, I was
thinking that in War of Worlds,
most monsters have to go out
the way they come in, so it's...
Hey, Liv?
(brooding music)
- [Olivia] I figured the
police would be there
by the time I got
home, but I was wrong.
I heard later that the
news ran that story
with my name hours before the
police even had a warrant.
Whether I liked it or not,
this was all up to me.
(door creaks)
(brooding music continues)
It smelled so bad.
I was really hoping
there was just
some horrible mold infestation.
(brooding music continues)
And I was really hoping
that lump in the sheet
wasn't what I thought it was.
(brooding music continues)
(brooding music continues)
Yep. There it was, a foot.
Please don't be dead. Please
don't be dead. Please don't be
dead.
(sheet tearing)
(Olivia gasps)
Okay. Maybe not
dead, maybe alive.
Gotta move fast.
(Olivia panting)
(brooding music continues)
- [Aurora voice] Well, this is
awkward.
- Shit. (Aurora growls)
(Olivia whines and grunts)
- Later, bitch.
(Olivia grunts)
(Olivia thuds)
(ominous music)
- This was bad. Really bad.
This wasn't Aurora. This
was- this was a demon.
And maybe, just
maybe the part of her
that wasn't a demon was
still my best friend.
Aurora, I give up.
Please, just come back down.
You were right. Okay?
I- I- I've been a
really sucky friend.
I was totally selfish.
(melancholic music)
I'll- I'll help you,
okay?
I'll... Just- just- just
come back down, okay?
I need you.
(door creaking)
(feet thumping)
Please be human.
Please be human.
Please be human.
- Hey, slut.
(feet clacking)
Cheers.
- Cheers.
So, what's going on?
- You really don't know, do you?
- I want to.
- I mean, I
think it's pretty obvious.
(Aurora sighs)
Look, you can't
mess with the dead
without some hardcore
consequences.
- What do you mean?
(Aurora sighs)
- I'm you, Liv.
- You gotta be
fucking kidding me .
- Relax. Have a drink.
- No, no, I- I brought you back.
- (scoffs) Well, yeah, sort
of, in spirit.
Look, when you did the ritual,
you got almost everything right
besides the physical part.
We needed a host and,
well, here you were.
- We?
- Yeah. Big surprise.
When you brought me
back from the grave,
I did not come alone.
(Aurora sighs)
Ever since I woke
back up, there's been
something inside me.
Well, us, it's always been there
right beneath the surface.
I try to push it down, but
it just keeps coming right back
up.
(suspenseful music)
(flesh crunching)
(Aurora growls)
You know what I'm talking about.
Where have you been, Liv?
- Wait, what? Don't
you already know?
- Well, no, I mean,
sometimes you take over.
Sometimes I do.
It does. I...
Look, it's complicated.
The thing is, whatever's
in me needs to eat.
I need to eat.
That's where these
assholes come in.
- What- what about them?
- Come on, they're
fucking evil, Liv.
Why the hell am I here
in the first place?
Some entitled little
perv thought he had
the right to touch me?
Then another guy
drove shit-faced.
Do you know he got off with
community service? Yeah.
So we killed the shit out of
'em Feast on their flesh.
What's the problem? Doin'
everyone a fucking service.
(ominous music)
(Aurora groans and sighs)
So what do we do now, huh?
Can't exactly go to the
cops, right? (chuckles)
All right, look,
I'll make you a deal.
We stay in this house.
We never leave and
I'll do my best
to stop indulging, deal?
(ominous music)
(Olivia whines)
- Come on, great.
- All right. (grunts)
You know, honestly, I'm
actually pretty happy
that this is all out in
the open now, you know?
I think it's good for us.
(eerie music)
All right, come on,
let's go upstairs.
Smells like shit down here.
- [Olivia] This was
beyond messed up
and it was completely my fault.
- Come on, Liv.
- [voicemail] Hi, it's Olivia.
So sorry to miss you.
Leave me a message and
I'll call you back.
- Hey, Liv, it's Joe.
Again, just calling to check in,
make sure everything's okay.
Just, um, gimme a call back
whenever you get a chance. Okay?
Whenever you get
this. Thanks, bye.
(phone clatters)
(Joe sighs)
(ominous music)
(keyboard typing)
(eerie music)
Oh, shit.
- [Olivia] Well, at least
the guy's chained up in the
basement we're still alive.
That was something.
- Dude, badass, right?
One of the perks
of hosting a demon.
What flavor marg you want?
- Um, regular.
- (snorts) Called it.
- [Olivia] So that was it.
I guess I just wait
for the cops to show.
I'd confess, go to jail,
and I'd have no one
to blame but myself.
(blender whirring)
(door knocking)
And there they are.
(blender whirring)
(door knocking)
Or not.
- Surprise.
- Amanda, what are
you doing here?
- I was just going to
brunch at my friend's place
who lives right by here,
so I thought I'd stop by.
(door clattering)
So how are you?
- Good, sorry, it's-
it's really not a good time.
- Who's this?
- [Olivia] Hold on. What?
- Oh, hi. (chuckles) I'm Amanda.
I'm so sorry. Did I wake you?
- Hi, Amanda. I'm
Aurora, Olivia's roommate
- [Olivia] And I'm the most
gullible idiot in the world.
- I'm so sorry.
Olivia never mentioned
that she had a roommate.
- Yeah, she does.
- Well I was just here
to drop off a scarf
that you left at my
place the other night
and I'll just be on my way.
It was so nice meeting you,
A- Aurora, Auror-Aurora.
- Hey, Amanda. Would you
like a little morning mar?
I just made a whole batch
and we shouldn't drink
it all ourselves.
- [Olivia] Amanda,
please for once,
just sense the tone and go
away.
God, damn it, Amanda.
I wasn't seeing things.
Aurora was real and she
was a lying asshole.
I could hear my phone
ringing upstairs. New plan.
Get Amanda out of here
safely. Get the phone.
Reverse the curse.
- I'm so sorry. Aurora,
you look so familiar.
Have we met?
- Just one of those faces.
- I bet it's from all that
Facebook investigating I did
on Olivia's page.
Wow, that's so embarrassing.
I'm like so crazy.
- [Olivia] Amanda, you
have no idea what crazy is.
(floor thumping)
- Did you guys hear that?
Oh my God. Do you have
a pet? I love dogs.
- It's probably
just the plumbing.
- Are you sure, 'cause it
was like really, really-
- Are we sure we
don't have a dog?
- Sorry. (chuckles)
Anyways, cheers.
Cheers.
- Oh, hey, Amanda.
You mentioned the
other night, right?
- Oh, right.
- Oh, no.
We had just this small
get together at my place
and, Olivia, I've been
meaning to ask you.
I heard you really
hit it off with Joe.
- Joe?
- Thanks a lot, Amanda.
- Just some guy. (chuckles)
- Oh yeah, right. I've heard
about all your
little dinner dates.
- Oh my God, Olivia,
why don't you ever tell
me stuff like this?
- Sorry. I guess I
just forgot. (chuckles)
- Should I make some more?
- Oh, you know, I
really should be going.
- One more.
- Oh, my friend's probably
waiting for me.
- One more.
- [Aurora] Hey, Liv,
can you help me out
in the kitchen for a sec?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm just gonna go use
your restroom. Thank you.
- [Olivia] Crap. Oh,
this is gonna get ugly.
(class clinking)
(ice clatters)
- So that's where you've been?
Running around with
your little boy toy.
All your new friends, Amanda?
What am I, your
fucking housewife now?
- What happened to us
being the same person?
- Worth a shot.
Could tell you're about
to do something stupid.
- The stupid thing I did
was believe your bullshit.
And the guys downstairs?
- Been keeping 'em quiet.
Combo your meds, your
emergency benzos.
A little bit of Benadryl,
obviously tequila.
Just... I didn't wanna eat you.
I love you. I...
I need you.
(ominous music)
But if you're gonna
keep doing this,
I'll make sure you can't leave.
- Ow, fuck!
(Aurora bellowing)
Ah, ah!
(Aurora growling)
(tense music)
(Aurora bellowing)
- Hey?
You must be Aurora.
(spear swooshes)
- And you must be Joe.
(spear swooshes and thuds)
(Joe coughs)
- Joe!
(Amanda crashes)
(Joe whines)
(Aurora snickers)
(glass shatters)
(Aurora grunts)
- My margaritas.
- Fuck your margaritas.
(Aurora bellowing)
Shit
Ah!
(bones crunching)
Ah! (whines)
- Shady-ass bitch.
You betrayed me for that dude?
He's not even fucking cute.
Aw, what's the matter, Liv?
You want me back?
- Because you made me promise!
(Aurora bellows)
(Olivia pants and grunts)
(Aurora bellows)
(Olivia panting and grunting)
(tense music)
- Come out, come out,
Olivia. (snickering)
(Olivia panting and grunting)
Come on, you just gonna
hide in a room forever?
(Olivia panting)
You're nothing without me.
(Aurora growling)
(door thuds)
- (grunts) Ah!
(door thudding)
(window clattering)
(Aurora growls)
(door creaks)
(nails clacking)
Pussy.
(tool thuds)
(flesh mushing)
(Olivia panting)
Seriously?
Do you know who I am?
(eerie music)
(Olivia panting)
(Aurora growling)
(eerie music)
- Moloch?
Here goes nothing.
Hope you're right, Joe.
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Aurora gasping)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
- Please, please.
(Aurora gasping)
(Aurora gasping)
- What do you want me to do?
(Olivia whimpers)
- I love you, Liv.
I wanna rest.
You're right.
(gasps) I made you do it.
I made you bring me back.
(Aurora gasps)
I made you do anything.
(Aurora gasping)
I'm sorry, but I- I got- I
gotta do it one more time.
Finish the spell, Liv.
(Aurora gasps)
(eerie music)
Please.
(Olivia sobbing)
(eerie music continues)
Do it, slut.
(Olivia sobbing)
(suspenseful music)
(Aurora groans and gasps)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Olivia speaking Latin)
(Aurora explodes)
(flames roaring)
(fire crackling)
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(coughing)
(flames roaring)
(piano tolling)
- [Olivia] Help?
- Olivia?
- [Olivia] Amanda?
- Olivia. Where are you, Olivia?
- [Olivia] I'm up here.
- Where are you?
- Amanda, I'm coming.
(soft rock music)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(flame roars)
(Olivia coughing)
- Joe, Joe, Joe. (panting)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
(soft rock music continues)
- Holy shit. The
boys are down here!
(soft rock music continues)
(fire crackling)
(music ends)
- Well, there you go.
That's the story.
I guess I'll give them
the short version.
I brought my friend
back from the dead,
but I didn't know she
was eating people.
And then I saw them
in the basement
and she told me
what she was doing.
And then I found the spell
to reverse the curse.
It worked, she exploded.
- Listen, listen, there
were two missing boys
chained up in your basement.
- Yes.
- So how in the hell you
just gonna sit here
and act like you weren't
the one that put 'em there?
- I told you.
- Look, Olivia, cooperate,
things will get a
lot easier for ya.
(lively music)
(Amanda clears throat)
- Excuse me. Just from
the fire, little cough.
- I'm on the side of
the road. I'm outta gas.
I'm talking to my
brother on the phone.
He's talking about this
fucking stupid video game
that I just don't care about.
- Yeah, A zombie chick.
I mean, I don't know.
The thing grabbed me out
from underneath the bed.
All I remember is seeing this-
this- this- this
thing behind me.
These- these eyes. I don't know.
I don't know. I turned around.
I'm getting my- I'm getting
jumped by something.
It's not a fucking person.
And the next thing you know,
I'm- I'm- I'm in this basement
with these fucking
two guys, that's it.
- Did you see her?
- I remember that
her eyes were yellow,
but like not in a pretty way.
And she had these fangs.
- There was the-
the girl, the- the-
the thing was with the
other girl, the normal girl.
So it was like a normal girl
and then the monster girl.
- Then she caught the fire
poker and threw it back.
And that was it for me.
- When was the last
time I did drugs?
I just got drugged.
- Monster, fine. Fire, fine.
Blood, no way.
- No, I don't do drugs.
All right, I do drugs
every now and then, I...
- Should I have my lawyer here.
I just thought of that.
- I mean, she beat
the shit out of me.
Out of me. I mean,
I did varsity.
- I was totally fine. Like I was
gonna have at least
two or three,
and then I was
gonna go to brunch.
I was going to
brunch after this.
So I was planning on
drinking even more. Okay.
This is like pre-gaming
for brunch. I know.
I'm so crazy.
- You still just gonna go ahead
and stick with this
demon monster girl story?
- It's the truth.
(dramatic music)
- Uh, now the situation
hasn't changed.
However, I'll go
through it again.
The so-called demon girl
was apparently a cannibal,
which explains the missing skin
on the corpse that we found.
Also the missing button
that we found is also one
of the other victim's and
most likely there are more.
- So you're saying the official
word from the authorities is
that the culprit was a
resurrected demon cannibal girl?
- That's correct.
- And what about the house fire?
- The house fire was a result
of the demon girl exploding.
- Demon like a monster?
- Yes, ma'am.
- No further questions.
- So there you go.
Six days have passed and
we have some answers.
Back to you, John.
(suspenseful music)
- [Amanda] I'm kind of loving
this wheelchair look for you.
I know that's crazy. But...
Hey, Brent, do you really think
that this is the
right time for that?
- What?
- Are you even listening to me?
- Could you put... Okay, fine.
You're just being a dick.
(sighs) I'm so sorry. Um,
so how's the
new place coming?
- It's coming, strange.
Well, again, if you
ever need anything,
just let us know,
okay, right, Brent?
- Mm-hmm. Sure.
- Hey, you wanna
maybe put that down
for just like one
minute while we're
with my best friend
Olivia, getting drinks?
(phone clatters)
Very nice.
- Are you happy?
- Yes. I am much happier now.
I love it when you're
here and present with us.
- Mm-hmm, well, I'm a lot
happier when I'm not sober.
- [Olivia] So how am I now?
If you care. I'm good.
Really good.
Everything is perfect.
So, so happy.
- Sorry, guys. Newsflash.
She farts at home all the time.
- I fart at home secretly.
- Sorry, guys.
- Secret.
- Well, maybe not perfect.
- I wouldn't do it in a
bar. That's disgusting.
- [Olivia] But I'm out of the
house now and I'm having fun.
Just like Aurora, the real
Aurora would've wanted.
- You feel like a sociopath
because you just
farted in a bar.
- As for Joe and
I, we are great.
We're taking it slow,
literally and figuratively.
One more thing you should know.
You know how they say some
ideas
just aren't worth
trying, well...
(lively music)
(lively music continues)
(lid clinking)
Well, whoever said that,
never tried breakfast cookies.
(chuckles) Sorry. I know.
Bye now.
(heavy rock music begins)
(heavy rock music continues)
(heavy rock music continues)
- I'm just gonna go use
your restroom. Thank you.
(guitar strumming)
(phone vibrating)
- Yeah?
- Brent.
Something really
scary just happened
and I have to get
to Amy's for brunch.
- Are you peeing right now?
- Yes, I had like one
and a half margaritas.
Of course I'm peeing, Brent.
Brent, could you please
stop playing guitar
for like one second?
- Yeah. Yeah, you-
you had a margarita.
Sounds like a great
time. Hey, oh.
- Wait, wait, wait.
- K-Town's calling me, one
second.
Have fun okay?
- Brent?
- [Reporter] Six days have
passed and we have some
answers.
- [Newscaster] The chief of
police has already denounced
the statements made by
Detective Matherson and Jacobs
and has reportedly put
them both on paid leave.
Next, we go to Ken Kinderman
with the
forecast for this week.
Ken, what are we looking at?
- I thought I might
find you here.
Wanna buy me a drink, Detective?
