Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) Movie Script
[eerie theme music playing]
[machine whirring]
[tape playing]
[windmill clicking]
[ominous music playing]
[narrator] In the summer of 1973,
a few miles outside of Austin, Texas,
five youths were attacked
in a grisly and gruesome fashion
by an unidentified madman.
The shocking murders
were committed with a variety of tools,
including hammers, meat hooks,
and most disturbingly, a chainsaw.
[man] There's an image in my mind
that'll never go away.
[narrator] Of the five young victims,
only one survived, Sally Hardesty,
who after telling her story to the police,
never again spoke
of the horrors she saw that day.
After hearing Hardesty's account,
officials released
this composite picture of the killer.
[woman] Everybody was terrified.
[narrator] He is said to have worn
a mask made of human skin.
However,
his true identity remains a mystery.
For the next hour,
we'll take you on a journey
into one of Texas's
most famous unsolved murders.
[country music playing on speakers]
I'm from San Benito, Texas
[shopkeeper] Okay, that's $18.99,
unless I can interest you
in a shirt or two.
Okay. There you go.
Whatever happened to her?
Is she still alive?
She became a ranger here in Texas.
She must have looked for that maniac
for more than 30, 40 years.
So she she found him?
He was wearing a mask.
Not easy to locate someone
if you don't know what they look like.
Hey, sis, there you are.
Yeah, right where you left me, weirdo.
Hey, hey, hey. Look, look, look, look.
Something for your champagne later.
You know, you don't actually
need a corkscrew for champagne.
Come on. We've gotta beat the bus.
Where y'all headed,
if you don't mind me asking?
Uh, Harlow?
- Oh. I heard about you.
- You did?
Everybody has.
- Y'all have a nice day now.
- Thank you.
Gentri-fuckers.
Here.
- [woman 2 chuckles]
- [woman 1] Where's Dante?
[Dante's partner] Uh
[Dante] Success!
Found a pocket of cell signal over yonder.
Mm-hmm.
So, apparently, the bus took
a wrong turn like 20 miles back,
but we're back on track now.
We're fine. We're solid.
Let's get on the road. Let's go. Let's go.
[metal music playing]
[music stops]
[woman 2] Look at this guy.
Who has such a small dick
they need to walk around
in public with a fucking gun?
Like, I mean, is he compensating
for something? I mean
[Dante] Come on, Mel.
- Melody, don't.
- What? I'm just saying.
[man] Excuse me, ma'am.
What?
See, we're plagued
by feral hogs around these parts.
And the only way to deal
with an invasive species
is to eradicate them.
On sight.
[woman 1] Okay. Okay.
Let's go before she gets us all killed.
[Dante] Come on, girls. Let's go.
Sorry if a big gun
makes you uncomfortable.
I've seen bigger.
[spits]
["Pay The Road" by Shakey Graves playing]
Well, one of these days
Gonna pay the road
Yeah, one of these days
Gonna run for fun
Yeah, one of these days
When you're all alone
Out back wishing for
The grass to grow, oh
Hey. I'm really sorry
about that back there.
You don't need me
getting mad on your behalf.
It's whatever.
Anyway, I'm super happy you came.
[Dante] Mel, check out our post.
It's blowing up.
Hey, guys. Today is the day!
We're finally giving birth
to this crazy dream Mel and I had.
A real change is here, so thank you all.
Can't wait to see you in Harlow.
Oh, it's gonna be great. Think about it.
We can own all of this,
call it "Dantopia."
[snorts] What?
[Dante] What? Dantopia.
How long have you been sitting on that?
Like the last 48 hours.
I get it. Dante and Utop...
You're combining the words.
- I was just joking.
- I see what... What the fuck?
- [truck rumbling loudly]
- [metal music blaring]
- [horn honks]
- What's wrong with him?
[woman 1]
Look, Melody, it's your boyfriend.
- What a fucking psycho.
- [Dante's partner] Texas mating ritual.
- Seriously, what is wrong with that guy?
- [coughing]
[Dante's partner]
He's just a fucking coal roller.
Oh, great, they don't
pull over the psycho, but they stop us?
- Put your hands where they can see 'em.
- [Dante's partner] That's not funny.
[dispatcher on radio]
There's a 10-12 at the location.
[man on radio] Copy that.
[clears throat]
Howdy.
Hey, how you doing? I'm DanteSpivey.
You're the cook.
The chef. Uh, we both are.
- Hi.
- And who else you have in there?
Well, this is my future wife.
And my sister back here.
Is everything okay?
I know you got
a lot of folks coming through,
so me and my deputy are gonna hang around
to make sure y'all stay out of trouble.
Call me if there are any issues.
[Dante clears throat]
Sure. We have your number, and, uh,
we thank you for your service, sir.
[Mel whispers] Let's just go.
Listen, some of us
were born here, you know.
Saw it in its prime.
So please, be respectful for the town.
We will, sir.
[Dante's partner]
Melody, what are you doing?
You know, our our grandmother
was actually from around here.
You know, "When Harlow sunflower blooms"
[both] "Winter is doomed."
Yeah.
[sheriff chuckles]
Okay.
Welcome to Harlow.
[Mel] Thank you.
[Dante] Woo!
[laughs]
Finally, we made it. Welcome to Harlow.
[mysterious music playing]
Behold the joys of late-stage capitalism.
[chuckles] Woo!
Oh!
[Dante's partner]
Holy shit, babe. This is amazing.
So Harlow is a ghost town.
Yes, but we have a vision for this place.
All it needs is young blood,
people like us, tired of the big city,
looking for a fresh start.
Dante, for what we were paying
to park the food trucks in Austin,
we get the whole corner over there.
That is insane.
Our restaurant will be first,
and we have to just
inspire more people to follow.
- We will.
- We definitely will.
This space would be perfect
for my art gallery.
Lila, look, we could put a comic book
store in here or something cool.
Lit.
This is a chance for people
to start fresh somewhere
without the violence and the madness.
Somewhere safe.
Okay. And, I mean, seven hours by car?
I guess I can say goodbye
to my friends forever.
[door creaking, bangs]
Oh Christ.
What is he doing here?
Excuse me.
Oh shit, sorry, uh, Richter.
We spoke on the phone.
- Yeah.
- Dante.
[Richter] Hey.
[laughs]
Uh, Richter's our contractor, Mel.
Gave your buildings a facelift,
about all I can do in a week.
It looks good for the auction. Thank you.
You're planning to sell these?
- Oh yeah, we will.
- Mm-hmm.
All right.
So you guys are what? Like, a cult?
We are idealistic individuals
who want to build a better world.
Yeah, that's a cult.
[chuckles]
- What?
- It's all right, not judging.
Just pay me. We're good.
Hey guys, you should, uh
you should see this.
[Dante] What?
- [Dante's partner] Oh
- [Mel] Oh shit.
What?
Are you serious?
- Newsflash, we're in deep Texas.
- I don't care.
We have a bus full of
potential investors on the way.
They see this flag, they're not gonna buy.
- Trust me.
- I'm getting the cowboy.
Mel, help me.
I'll just be here.
[ominous music playing]
- [door creaking]
- Hmm
Um, I'm going upstairs.
[Mel] Look at this place. It's weird.
Ah, shit.
[grunting]
[children laughing faintly]
Damn, I couldn't reach it.
- Oh shit. Well, what are we going to do?
- Let's just wait for the contractor.
What are you doing in our house?
Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize...
We thought this place was empty.
[tank wheels creaking]
[woman breathing heavily]
Oh, you're the new neighbors, aren't you?
Uh
Wish I'd known y'all were coming.
I'd haveput my face on.
Sweet tea?
I've been running this orphanage
for nearly 50 years.
I've housed boys and girls
in need of a loving home,
and troubled teens that needed me
to show 'em mercy for their ways.
Please.
Ma'am, the bank, um,
reclaimed this property months ago.
You're not supposed to be here.
You talking about
that whole mix up with the bank?
That's been settled.
I paid everything I owed.
This is still our house.
You're wrong. I'm sorry, but...
I've got a title that says otherwise.
Do you mind if we see that?
I don't have to show you anything.
- That's because you don't have it.
- [Mel] Dante, don't.
What? Was this about my flag?
You got me all wrong.
I've taken care of
many boys like you over the years.
I don't have a problem with Negroes.
[scoffs]
Okay. Fuck this.
You watch your mouth, boy.
[Dante] You watch yours.
[Mel] Where are you going?
[Dante] Let the cops deal with her.
I don't have time for this.
I'm getting the sheriff.
[woman] It's not what you think.
That flag belonged to my great granddaddy.
It reminds me of him.
I haven't given it much thought.
I I understand your friend.
I wish I could help you,
but you can't be here.
- [gasps]
- There are shelters for the elderly, and
Shelter? I'm not going anywhere.
I told you. This is our house.
Look, you'll be safer in a home
and better taken care of.
A woman your age shouldn't be on her own.
[wheezing]
Baby, I'm fine. I'm all right.
Just go back to your room.
He's the last of my boys.
He needs special care.
He doesn't do well outside,
you understand that?
It's why I can't ever leave here.
- [Mel gasps]
- [door creaks]
Christ, Ginny, why are you still here?
What have you done?
[sheriff] Virginia, we told you weeks ago.
She ain't listening.
Let's get her outta here.
- We'll talk about it outside.
- Come on. Let's go.
[grunting]
Take it easy.
I barely touched her.
[retching]
Oh my God. What is happening?
We need to call an ambulance.
[deputy] We are the ambulance.
It's all right. It's her boy.
[Virginia wheezes]
[sheriff] Grab the oxygen.
Put her in the van.
She's having a heart attack.
[Virginia] The check It was Please
Hey, hey, what did you do?
[sheriff] We'll get you to
the hospital in no time. Just hold on.
Shit. The bus is here.
- [Dante] Fuck.
- [brakes screeching]
I'm going with her.
No, Melody, no, no, no.
I'll go with her. I'll go.
What?
Everyone's expecting
to see the two of you.
She'll be okay.
Come on.
- Christ.
- [Dante's partner] Somebody needs to.
It can't be Melody, can't be you.
You need to focus on this.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Okay. Please just
make sure she's all right.
Thank you. You're an angel.
[sheriff] Let's move.
[Virginia breathing raggedly]
Here's your flag.
[Dante] Come on, Mel.
We'll get somebody to clean that up.
Did that not feel like a bad omen to you?
This place is cursed now.
Please, this is not...
I don't need this right now,
so it's all good.
If you move here,
I'm moving back with Dad.
No, you're not.
I I don't want to live here.
Your whole idea is insane.
- You don't know what you want.
- Okay, and you do?
Uh, I know you need me,
and you can't take care of yourself.
Wait.
Why did I? [sighs]
[woman] Honestly, the bank
could've never dreamed of selling these
without your help, Dante.
- [Dante] Thank you for trusting us.
- It's amazing.
Absolutely. Um
Mel! Mel! Catherine, come here.
This is Catherine,
you know, from the bank.
- She made all this possible.
- [Catherine gasps]
Finally. It's nice to meet you.
[chuckles]
You know, everyone is super excited.
You guys did a great job promoting this.
Yeah, just needs a fresh coat of paint.
Oh no, it is perfect like this.
These people want the wear-down.
You know, the history?
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
- [Mel] This is going to be great.
- Yeah.
I'm just going to start
setting up, so Okay.
[Dante chuckles]
Is she all right?
Yeah, I think the heat's
just getting to her a bit.
It's so hot out here.
- Probably needed a little water.
- Yeah. It's hot.
[indistinct police radio chatter]
[Virginia wheezing]
How's she doing?
Baby, who's the good boy
I taught you to be?
[ominous music playing]
Stay out of my room.

of Brady's Brunch.
Aw! I love brunch. That's great.
Well, this was built in 1910,
and once counted President Howard Taft
as a distinguished guest.
[crowd chatter indistinctly]
[man on radio]
Got a high chanceof thunderstorms,
lightning, and heavy rain.
Stay dry out there.
So, Richter
Why are you such a nihilist?
A what?
I mean, anyone who blasts diesel
into the atmosphere like that
truly gives zero fucks
about, like, anything.
I'm a Texan.
I don't like people telling me what to do,
especially smug,
self-righteous, rich, city folk.
Is it loaded?
Ever shot one before?
No.
Been shot at.
Drunk dad?
- [faint screams]
- [faint gunfire]
Stonebrook High.
- [clicks]
- [gasps]
[sighs]
That must be tough, living with that.
I mean
Everyone expects me
to do something special with my life now,
and I can only disappoint them.
My friends were the special ones.
Not me.
[Dante on PA]
Please stick around for music and drinks.
We have a lot to celebrate.
Thank you all so much.
[crowd applauding]
[ominous music playing]
[Dante laughing]
Come on, Mel. Have a drink with me.
We did it. We did it. What a dream.
What?
[sobs softly]
Damn.
Damn? That's
That's all you have to say?
We just killed her.
Heart disease killed her. Mel.
Where you going, Mel?
I'm getting Lila
and taking her out of here. Okay?
This just doesn't feel right anymore.
Wait. Wait.
Mel, this wasn't our fault. Mel!
Lila?
Where's my sister?
[door opens]
We're leaving.
[Lila] Okay.
[Mel] Really? That guy?
Are you kidding me?
- You think I fucked him?
- I don't know. Did you?
I just used the bathroom.
I know you think I'm a total train wreck,
but give me a break. Please.
I'm sorry.
The old lady died.
I really need you
to leave with me right now. Okay?
Can you do that, please?
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.

- Yeah.
- Take the car. I'll take the bus back.
[Mel] Wait. What the fuck? What the...
- Hey!
- Hey. What?
What the fuck are you doing?
Heard you killed that lady.
We didn't kill anybody.
She was trespassing on our property.
You sure that was your property?
Huh? Looked like she disagreed.
Please just give us back the keys.
Give me the keys.
Show me you have the deed
to that house, you'll have them back.
I'll be in the shop.
That fucking guy.
Just give him what he wants.
- Let's keep the bank out of this.
- Please tell me you have it.
I do. I have it.
Then where is it?
It It must be at the office.
Back in Austin.
Dante.
Some deeds took
longer than others to process.
Tell me we didn't
kick her out of her own house.
We didn't. I'm telling you.
It must be back at the office.
Hey, if that's true,
then it can't be in the house, right?
All right, you stay here. Let's go.
Hey, wait, can you
just relax for a second?
I'll never relax until
I'm sure we're on the right side of this.

Just do what I tell you?
- Why do I have to stay with these people?
- Please just stay.

- Drive!
- [Mel] Please, go!
Fifty years I've been waiting
for this night.
Just to see him again.
[Lila] She locked us in.
Please drive.
You have to let us out of here.
I'm sorry, I can't.
Looks like it's you that he wants.
You need to stay until I kill him.

Say my name.
Say you know me.
Say you know what you did to my friends.
You don't remember me.
Fuck.
You know, I was supposed
to die in the school that day.
So death followed me here.

[narrator] In the summer of 1973,
a few miles outside of Austin, Texas,
five youths were attacked
in a grisly and gruesome fashion
by an unidentified madman.
The shocking murders
were committed with a variety of tools,
including hammers, meat hooks,
and most disturbingly, a chainsaw.
[man] There's an image in my mind
that'll never go away.
[narrator] Of the five young victims,
only one survived, Sally Hardesty,
who after telling her story to the police,
never again spoke
of the horrors she saw that day.
After hearing Hardesty's account,
officials released
this composite picture of the killer.
[woman] Everybody was terrified.
[narrator] He is said to have worn
a mask made of human skin.
However,
his true identity remains a mystery.
For the next hour,
we'll take you on a journey
into one of Texas's
most famous unsolved murders.
[country music playing on speakers]
I'm from San Benito, Texas
[shopkeeper] Okay, that's $18.99,
unless I can interest you
in a shirt or two.
Okay. There you go.
Whatever happened to her?
Is she still alive?
She became a ranger here in Texas.
She must have looked for that maniac
for more than 30, 40 years.
So she she found him?
He was wearing a mask.
Not easy to locate someone
if you don't know what they look like.
Hey, sis, there you are.
Yeah, right where you left me, weirdo.
Hey, hey, hey. Look, look, look, look.
Something for your champagne later.
You know, you don't actually
need a corkscrew for champagne.
Come on. We've gotta beat the bus.
Where y'all headed,
if you don't mind me asking?
Uh, Harlow?
- Oh. I heard about you.
- You did?
Everybody has.
- Y'all have a nice day now.
- Thank you.
Gentri-fuckers.
Here.
- [woman 2 chuckles]
- [woman 1] Where's Dante?
[Dante's partner] Uh
[Dante] Success!
Found a pocket of cell signal over yonder.
Mm-hmm.
So, apparently, the bus took
a wrong turn like 20 miles back,
but we're back on track now.
We're fine. We're solid.
Let's get on the road. Let's go. Let's go.
[metal music playing]
[music stops]
[woman 2] Look at this guy.
Who has such a small dick
they need to walk around
in public with a fucking gun?
Like, I mean, is he compensating
for something? I mean
[Dante] Come on, Mel.
- Melody, don't.
- What? I'm just saying.
[man] Excuse me, ma'am.
What?
See, we're plagued
by feral hogs around these parts.
And the only way to deal
with an invasive species
is to eradicate them.
On sight.
[woman 1] Okay. Okay.
Let's go before she gets us all killed.
[Dante] Come on, girls. Let's go.
Sorry if a big gun
makes you uncomfortable.
I've seen bigger.
[spits]
["Pay The Road" by Shakey Graves playing]

Out back wishing for
The grass to grow, oh
Hey. I'm really sorry
about that back there.
You don't need me
getting mad on your behalf.
It's whatever.
Anyway, I'm super happy you came.
[Dante] Mel, check out our post.
It's blowing up.
Hey, guys. Today is the day!
We're finally giving birth
to this crazy dream Mel and I had.
A real change is here, so thank you all.
Can't wait to see you in Harlow.
Oh, it's gonna be great. Think about it.
We can own all of this,
call it "Dantopia."
[snorts] What?
[Dante] What? Dantopia.
How long have you been sitting on that?
Like the last 48 hours.
I get it. Dante and Utop...
You're combining the words.
- I was just joking.
- I see what... What the fuck?
- [truck rumbling loudly]
- [metal music blaring]
- [horn honks]
- What's wrong with him?
[woman 1]
Look, Melody, it's your boyfriend.
- What a fucking psycho.
- [Dante's partner] Texas mating ritual.
- Seriously, what is wrong with that guy?
- [coughing]
[Dante's partner]
He's just a fucking coal roller.
Oh, great, they don't
pull over the psycho, but they stop us?
- Put your hands where they can see 'em.
- [Dante's partner] That's not funny.
[dispatcher on radio]
There's a 10-12 at the location.
[man on radio] Copy that.
[clears throat]
Howdy.
Hey, how you doing? I'm DanteSpivey.
You're the cook.
The chef. Uh, we both are.
- Hi.
- And who else you have in there?
Well, this is my future wife.
And my sister back here.
Is everything okay?
I know you got
a lot of folks coming through,
so me and my deputy are gonna hang around
to make sure y'all stay out of trouble.
Call me if there are any issues.
[Dante clears throat]
Sure. We have your number, and, uh,
we thank you for your service, sir.
[Mel whispers] Let's just go.
Listen, some of us
were born here, you know.
Saw it in its prime.
So please, be respectful for the town.
We will, sir.
[Dante's partner]
Melody, what are you doing?
You know, our our grandmother
was actually from around here.
You know, "When Harlow sunflower blooms"
[both] "Winter is doomed."
Yeah.
[sheriff chuckles]
Okay.
Welcome to Harlow.
[Mel] Thank you.
[Dante] Woo!
[laughs]
Finally, we made it. Welcome to Harlow.
[mysterious music playing]
Behold the joys of late-stage capitalism.
[chuckles] Woo!
Oh!
[Dante's partner]
Holy shit, babe. This is amazing.
So Harlow is a ghost town.
Yes, but we have a vision for this place.
All it needs is young blood,
people like us, tired of the big city,
looking for a fresh start.
Dante, for what we were paying
to park the food trucks in Austin,
we get the whole corner over there.
That is insane.
Our restaurant will be first,
and we have to just
inspire more people to follow.
- We will.
- We definitely will.
This space would be perfect
for my art gallery.
Lila, look, we could put a comic book
store in here or something cool.
Lit.
This is a chance for people
to start fresh somewhere
without the violence and the madness.
Somewhere safe.
Okay. And, I mean, seven hours by car?
I guess I can say goodbye
to my friends forever.
[door creaking, bangs]
Oh Christ.
What is he doing here?
Excuse me.
Oh shit, sorry, uh, Richter.
We spoke on the phone.
- Yeah.
- Dante.
[Richter] Hey.
[laughs]
Uh, Richter's our contractor, Mel.
Gave your buildings a facelift,
about all I can do in a week.
It looks good for the auction. Thank you.
You're planning to sell these?
- Oh yeah, we will.
- Mm-hmm.
All right.
So you guys are what? Like, a cult?
We are idealistic individuals
who want to build a better world.
Yeah, that's a cult.
[chuckles]
- What?
- It's all right, not judging.
Just pay me. We're good.
Hey guys, you should, uh
you should see this.
[Dante] What?
- [Dante's partner] Oh
- [Mel] Oh shit.
What?
Are you serious?
- Newsflash, we're in deep Texas.
- I don't care.
We have a bus full of
potential investors on the way.
They see this flag, they're not gonna buy.
- Trust me.
- I'm getting the cowboy.
Mel, help me.
I'll just be here.
[ominous music playing]
- [door creaking]
- Hmm
Um, I'm going upstairs.
[Mel] Look at this place. It's weird.
Ah, shit.
[grunting]
[children laughing faintly]
Damn, I couldn't reach it.
- Oh shit. Well, what are we going to do?
- Let's just wait for the contractor.
What are you doing in our house?
Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize...
We thought this place was empty.
[tank wheels creaking]
[woman breathing heavily]
Oh, you're the new neighbors, aren't you?
Uh
Wish I'd known y'all were coming.
I'd haveput my face on.
Sweet tea?
I've been running this orphanage
for nearly 50 years.
I've housed boys and girls
in need of a loving home,
and troubled teens that needed me
to show 'em mercy for their ways.
Please.
Ma'am, the bank, um,
reclaimed this property months ago.
You're not supposed to be here.
You talking about
that whole mix up with the bank?
That's been settled.
I paid everything I owed.
This is still our house.
You're wrong. I'm sorry, but...
I've got a title that says otherwise.
Do you mind if we see that?
I don't have to show you anything.
- That's because you don't have it.
- [Mel] Dante, don't.
What? Was this about my flag?
You got me all wrong.
I've taken care of
many boys like you over the years.
I don't have a problem with Negroes.
[scoffs]
Okay. Fuck this.
You watch your mouth, boy.
[Dante] You watch yours.
[Mel] Where are you going?
[Dante] Let the cops deal with her.
I don't have time for this.
I'm getting the sheriff.
[woman] It's not what you think.
That flag belonged to my great granddaddy.
It reminds me of him.
I haven't given it much thought.
I I understand your friend.
I wish I could help you,
but you can't be here.
- [gasps]
- There are shelters for the elderly, and
Shelter? I'm not going anywhere.
I told you. This is our house.
Look, you'll be safer in a home
and better taken care of.
A woman your age shouldn't be on her own.
[wheezing]
Baby, I'm fine. I'm all right.
Just go back to your room.
He's the last of my boys.
He needs special care.
He doesn't do well outside,
you understand that?
It's why I can't ever leave here.
- [Mel gasps]
- [door creaks]
Christ, Ginny, why are you still here?
What have you done?
[sheriff] Virginia, we told you weeks ago.
She ain't listening.
Let's get her outta here.
- We'll talk about it outside.
- Come on. Let's go.
[grunting]
Take it easy.
I barely touched her.
[retching]
Oh my God. What is happening?
We need to call an ambulance.
[deputy] We are the ambulance.
It's all right. It's her boy.
[Virginia wheezes]
[sheriff] Grab the oxygen.
Put her in the van.
She's having a heart attack.
[Virginia] The check It was Please
Hey, hey, what did you do?
[sheriff] We'll get you to
the hospital in no time. Just hold on.
Shit. The bus is here.
- [Dante] Fuck.
- [brakes screeching]
I'm going with her.
No, Melody, no, no, no.
I'll go with her. I'll go.
What?
Everyone's expecting
to see the two of you.
She'll be okay.
Come on.
- Christ.
- [Dante's partner] Somebody needs to.
It can't be Melody, can't be you.
You need to focus on this.
I'll be back as soon as I can.
Okay. Please just
make sure she's all right.
Thank you. You're an angel.
[sheriff] Let's move.
[Virginia breathing raggedly]
Here's your flag.
[Dante] Come on, Mel.
We'll get somebody to clean that up.
Did that not feel like a bad omen to you?
This place is cursed now.
Please, this is not...
I don't need this right now,
so it's all good.
If you move here,
I'm moving back with Dad.
No, you're not.
I I don't want to live here.
Your whole idea is insane.
- You don't know what you want.
- Okay, and you do?
Uh, I know you need me,
and you can't take care of yourself.
Wait.
Why did I? [sighs]
[woman] Honestly, the bank
could've never dreamed of selling these
without your help, Dante.
- [Dante] Thank you for trusting us.
- It's amazing.
Absolutely. Um
Mel! Mel! Catherine, come here.
This is Catherine,
you know, from the bank.
- She made all this possible.
- [Catherine gasps]
Finally. It's nice to meet you.
[chuckles]
You know, everyone is super excited.
You guys did a great job promoting this.
Yeah, just needs a fresh coat of paint.
Oh no, it is perfect like this.
These people want the wear-down.
You know, the history?
Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah.
- [Mel] This is going to be great.
- Yeah.
I'm just going to start
setting up, so Okay.
[Dante chuckles]
Is she all right?
Yeah, I think the heat's
just getting to her a bit.
It's so hot out here.
- Probably needed a little water.
- Yeah. It's hot.

Why are you such a nihilist?
A what?
I mean, anyone who blasts diesel
into the atmosphere like that
truly gives zero fucks
about, like, anything.
I'm a Texan.
I don't like people telling me what to do,
especially smug,
self-righteous, rich, city folk.

Thank you all so much.

We did it. We did it. What a dream.

That's all you have to say?
We just killed her.
Heart disease killed her. Mel.
Where you going, Mel?
I'm getting Lila
and taking her out of here. Okay?
This just doesn't feel right anymore.
Wait. Wait.
Mel, this wasn't our fault. Mel!
Lila?
Where's my sister?
[door opens]
We're leaving.
[Lila] Okay.
[Mel] Really? That guy?
Are you kidding me?
- You think I fucked him?
- I don't know. Did you?
I just used the bathroom.
I know you think I'm a total train wreck,
but give me a break. Please.
I'm sorry.
The old lady died.
I really need you
to leave with me right now. Okay?
Can you do that, please?

- Hey!
- Hey. What?
What the fuck are you doing?
Heard you killed that lady.
We didn't kill anybody.
She was trespassing on our property.
You sure that was your property?
Huh? Looked like she disagreed.
Please just give us back the keys.
Give me the keys.
Show me you have the deed
to that house, you'll have them back.
I'll be in the shop.

Back in Austin.

Some deeds took
longer than others to process.
Tell me we didn't
kick her out of her own house.
We didn't. I'm telling you.
It must be back at the office.
Hey, if that's true,
then it can't be in the house, right?
All right, you stay here. Let's go.
Hey, wait, can you

I'll never relax until
I'm sure we're on the right side of this.
