[Tom] Hello?
Yes.
Yeah, that's me.
[Kathy] Tom, who is it?
Yes?
Yes, that's my father.
(Tom exhales sharply)
Okay.
(sighs) Okay.
Thank you.
- [Kathy] What happened?
- (Tom sighs)
Tom?
[Tom] Oh, God.
[Kathy]
Wait, what happened, Tom?

How do you feel?
How am I supposed to feel?
Mani, meditation
is about...
grounding yourself,
gaining control...
(sniffles) I think
I've taken control of my life
just fine.
You know,
this doesn't just have to be
a condition of your parole.
You can choose
to get something out of it.
Come on, we've been at
this for a few weeks.
Just... talk to me as a friend.
I'm good, I (chuckles).
You, you really think I need
someone like you as a friend?
You don't know
the first thing about me.
I know enough.
I know you have no clue
what real pain feels like.
[Jess] So, you are in pain?
Okay, then tell me about that.
I'm good.
(scoffs) So, we got,
what, 45 minutes to go?
(Mani sighs)
(tense somber music)
(tense somber music continues)
When I was ten,
my mom used to grind up oxy
and put it in my corn flakes,
with extra sugar
to hide the taste.
She called them Super Frosties,
and that's how I got hooked.
(tense somber music)
[Jess] Dad liked Mom on drugs,
and Mom liked me on drugs, so.
(tense somber music continues)
[Jess] (scoffs) Family bonding.
The school counselor, Linda,
got wise to what was going on...
so the cops showed up
and took me with them.
And I stayed with Linda
for two weeks
getting clean on Cheerios.
Then it was foster homes
for a little bit, um...
You know the type, it's all
about the government checks
and not about the kids.
But I must have made
a good first impression
because the counselor came back,
and I got to live with her.
(gentle pensive music)
The same day my mom OD'd.
Best day of my life.
So, I'm just trying to help
people the way she helped me.
Well, what, so...
you expect me to feel
some way about this, Jess?
Am I supposed
to feel remorseful?
Am I supposed
to feel empathetic?
(soft tense music)
How the fuck
are you supposed to help me?
Sounds like you're here
to work out your own shit.
(tense solemn music)
- (Mani scoffs)
- (tense music)
(tense music continues)
You're weak...
pathetic little fucking girl.
(tense music continues)
Meditate on that.
(gasps)
(chair clatters)
See you next time, Jess.
Have a good one.

(gentle pensive music)
(gentle suspenseful music)
Boss.
Boss? Boss!
You still good
for that ten o'clock?
Yeah.
Mail and contracts.
Comes from the State
and it looks important.
Okay.
(pen clicks)
- Okay?
- Thanks.
You good?
Yeah.
You sure?
Yeah.
All right. Thanks.
Thanks, Rich.

Mark?
(soft upbeat music)
Mark!
So what if there's termites?
I don't give a fuck, Carlos.
Just (grunts) have them get
the new floors in, okay?
I need this money pit to go
on the market like yesterday.
(Mark grunting)
Don't be afraid
(soft upbeat music)
[Mark] All right.
(Mark grunting)
When I need to
- Okay, what's next?
- (door thuds)
Are we good?
The basement? What, are
you fucking kidding me?
Babe, if I can just...?
No, you work for me, Carlos.
Okay?
I pay you, you pay
them, they approve the build.
You understand that, huh?
Comprende?
Babe?
- [Mark] Ah!
- Babe, I really need you to--
Ah!
Sorry about that.
What was...
What were you saying?
- Oh.
- (door thuds)
Oh, fucking great.
What?
No, not you.
Just... get it done.
Okay. All right.
(upbeat music)
More than you know
Secret
Honey?
Ah, shit.
I feel the fire
- (door thuds)
- You okay? And I'm sorry.
(chuckles)
The contractors are fighting me
on every little goddamn
thing with this flip.
Might need to lawyer-up
on this one.
Carlos is, (chuckles)
he's driving me insane.
I'm gonna have
a goddamn aneurysm.
(groans)
He's acting like he's drowning.
Jess?
Is this because of me?
I'm sorry, I--
I didn't mean to, you know, I--
Not everything's about you,
Mark.
(traffic droning)
[Jess] Look, it was just...
it was an intense day at work.
[Mark] How so?
Mani.
That motherfucker.
What happened?
He got in my face.
I worry about this every
time you work with this guy.
Goddammit, it scares me.
I was trying to connect
with him on the same level
and I let my guard down,
I told him about Mom.
No, this isn't up to you.
No, this is not your fault.
This is on him, okay?
You can't control everything.
Okay?
This guy is a walking mindfuck.
(sighs) I have to be better.
Fuck him. Okay? (chuckles)
(sighs) You have worked so hard
to overcome so much shit
in your life.
(sighs) I know you wanna
help everyone who needs it,
but... trust me...
hey, some people
don't deserve it.
[Jess] Don't say that.
Quit then! Hey, work with kids.
Leave that place
before something happens.
Before Mani gets outta
control and does something--
(knuckles rapping)
(sighs) Who is it?
- (knuckles rapping)
- Just--
I said, who is it?
Babe, there's no need to yell.
- (knuckles rapping)
- (Mark sighs)
(switch clicks)
- (door clicks and creaks)
- (foot taps)
(gasps) Christ, Kathy.
It's my fucking sister.
Ah! Let her in.
(Mark groans)
Jesus Christ,
you look like shit.
You drunk?
Maybe.
- (Mark sighs)
- You know what?
- I'm not sorry about it.
- Yeah.
Hey Kathy, what's up?
- (door thuds)
- Hey.
- (Mark sighs)
- Would you get us some water?
Yeah. Whatever works for you.
Considering the evening I've
had, I'm opting for Scotch.
Hey! What's going on?
(Kathy sighs)
I need your help.
Help with what?
Tom.
Is he okay?
(sighs)
I haven't heard
from him in over a week.
He stopped responding
to my calls.
He won't respond
to my text messages.
And then,
like, his work keeps calling me
with all this stupid shit
that I don't understand.
The fucking selfish asshole.
And then, I, like, tried to
buy a gift for my friend,
and then all of my credit
cards were declined.
I'm just, like,
I don't know what to do,
and why does this
keep happening to me?
Here, drink this.
Did you just
hand me water in a mug?
- Yes.
- Ugh.
(Jess chuckles)
(exhales) And now let's
take some deep breaths.
So just exhale. (exhales deeply)
(chuckles)
And breathe in.
(Kathy blows raspberry)
- (chuckles)
- (Jess exhales deeply)
Okay, now slow down.
- (Kathy groans)
- Start over.
Where is Tom?
(sighs)
He's at the lake house.
I should have never
let him go there.
[Tom] (voicemail) I told you
to fucking stop, Kathy.
Can you fucking listen to me?
You know I was right.
My fucking dad knows it
now. The lake is real.
(Kathy sobs)
[Tom] I don't know
how much time we have left.
I just don't know.
Forget about me!
Stay the fuck away!
- Stay away!
- (solemn music)
- (Kathy sobs)
- What a prick.
(sobs) But he's my prick.
I'm gonna lose him.
I mean, things were like...
off, I guess.
- (solemn music)
- (Kathy sniffles)
Maybe he knew...
(gasping) Oh God, he's
really gonna leave me.
He's gonna leave me. (sobbing)
(solemn music)
He needs us.
- (Kathy sobs)
- Okay?
- Okay.
- So we're gonna go out there
and we're gonna help him.
(sobs) Really?
You would do that for me?
It's what I do.
Oh!
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- (Kathy sobs)
- Of course.
(exhales sharply)
I have to pee.

Mom, look what I found.
Mom?
Mom?
(ominous music)
Mom, are you okay?
(ominous music)
(lid cracks)
- Dad!
- No!
- No. I'm okay.
- (tense music)
- (foreboding music)
- I'm fine.
(gasps)
I need to go to the lake.
Can you hear it?
(lid cracks)
I need to get closer!
- Dad!
- (Barbara gasps)
- (Barbara thuds)
- Mom, no!
- [young Tom] Stop it!
- Tommy!
(Barbara screaming)
- [young Tom] Mother!
- Tommy?
[Tom] Dad! Dad!
[Elliot] Tommy! Tommy!
- Mom!
- [Elliot] What are you doing?
She's not supposed to
be out here, you idiot.
Come here. Come here!
Babe, babe, look at me.
Babe, look at me.
Just look at me.
Come on. Come on.
Babe, shh, shh, breathe,
breathe!
- (Barbara exclaims)
- Come on, babe,
you're scaring me.
Come on.
Stop, start looking at me.
Open your eyes.
Open your fucking eyes!
- Stop this now!
- (tense music)
You just need your pills.
You just need your pills, babe.
I'll go get your pills.
You watch her?
Don't let her leave!
(tense music)
[young Tom] (whimpers) Mom! Mom!
Wake up! Please!
(lid cracks)
- (Tom gasping)
- (dramatic music)
(Tom panting)
- (waves crashing)
- (solemn music)
(creature roaring)
(suspenseful music)
(lid cracks)
- [Barbara] Can you hear it?
- (gasps)
- (wheelchair rattles)
- (tense music)
I'll take you to the lake.
I'll take you
to the fucking lake.
You're there the whole time!
You were already there!
Please go. (exclaims)
Come on, go be with your god,
Mom.
You always were on...,
you were always there.
- (tense music)
- (Tom grunts)
- (gasps) Fuck!
- (water splashes)
- (screams)
- (creature roaring)
[young Tom] Mom! Mom!
- No!

(car whooshing)
[Jess] God, it really is
beautiful out here.
Right, Mark?
- Mark.
- What's that?
You know, I was just saying
that things are gonna be great,
and once we get Tom sorted,
uh, you both can cook dinner
for us.
Give us foot massages.
(chuckles) Amen to that.
Yeah, totally.
(Jess and Kathy chuckle)
Whoa, what did I miss?
You know,
you should put that down,
put it on mute,
take in the scenery.
Oh, why are you
breaking my balls, huh?
- Right.
- At least I'm not driving.
Hey, eyes on the road, Kathy.
Yeah, okay, cool, cool,
cool story, bro.
I mean, he's right.
You could hit a deer.
Wait, really?
Yeah, there's wildlife.
Oh, that would be awful.
Yeah, it's not a good way
to go.
Plus, deer? They're amazing.
Yeah, we were watching
this documentary.
Apparently they're
worshiped in some cultures.
Okay. No, no, fuck Bambi.
It's more the car that
I'm concerned about.
- (Mark scoffs)
- (car whooshing)
- (car horn honking)
- (car tires screeching)
Eat it, asshole!
These drivers out here
are the worst.
- (Kathy gasps)
- All right,
that's enough of that. (sighs)
Why don't we just
play some music, yeah?
- (upbeat music)
- (phone pings)
Well, I don't care
Care
Anymore
Well, it's not fair
Fair
I got one foot out the door
(upbeat music)
- (birds chirping)
- (somber music)
(soft poignant music)
(car tires crunching)
[Mark]
Fuck me, just lost service.
No bars.
- (soft poignant music)
- (birds chirping)
(Mark sighs)
[Kathy] All right, that's Tom's.
[Jess] Suppose this must be it.
- (car door thuds)
- [Mark] This is it?
[Kathy] Hang on.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(Kathy sighs )
Oh, shit.
Tom said something about stairs,
but he didn't say this many.
- (car door thuds)
- [Mark] What's the matter?
It's just a bunch of steps.
We skip leg day, or something?
Okay, leg day.
(soft solemn music)
Ah, blow me.
(soft tense music)
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
[Mark] Are you sure
we got the right place?
(phone pings)
Hold on, you got service?
- [Kathy] Uh...
- No way.
(scoffs) I just missed
a nail appointment
and they're just trying
to get me to pay.
Carry these?
What?
Unless you wanna come
back to get them later?
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(Mark sighs)
(car door thuds)
Well, wait.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(metal clangs)
(chuckles)
(birds cawing)
"85 pounds max."
So it'll carry half of me.
(birds cawing)
(sighs)
You think this thing works?
Only one way to find out.
- (screen whooshes)
- (dramatic music)
(cover rattles and creaks)
(generator whirring)
- (electricity buzzes)
- [Mark] Oh, shit!
- Great.
- (Mark exclaims)
You've only been here a minute
and you're already
breaking stuff.
(Mark babbles)
- You're on bag duty.
- (bags thuds)
(Jess and Mark sigh)
Fuck me.
(birds cawing)
(bag handle rattles)
(gentle poignant music)
[Jess] So...
you think there'd be
more houses down here.
[Kathy] Yeah, it's
funny, you know, Tom said
that this is
actually the only house
that's down here on the lake.
I guess nobody goes down here.
They even shut down the, uh,
lighthouse.
It's a nature preserve
or some shit?
[Mark]
Yeah, that's probably why
they didn't do any developing
down here.
[Jess]
But what about the lighthouse?
Oh, GPS, babe,
works on water too.
You know, no one needs a
giant flashlight showing them
not to hit the shore anymore.
Damn, I'm fucked.
No service down here.
God, Tom better have
fucking internet
at that house. (sighs)
[Kathy] Oh, really?
So you can, you know,
not enjoy all of this?
[Mark] Oh God, don't start.
Come on, I'm just saying.
[Mark] (exclaims) Thanks, Mom!
Okay, so...
what exactly happened
with Tom's dad?
Look, all I know is that Tom
got a note
with some of his belongings,
and it said something about
going to be with the lake
for an eternity, or some...
dark shit like that.
And... it was ruled a suicide.
He killed himself?
Kathy, that's kind of important.
When were you gonna tell us?
Tom didn't want anybody to know,
and...
they haven't found the body.
[Mark] It's not that weird.
This lake's basically an ocean.
You know,
he probably just became dinner
for a thousand different fish.
[Kathy]
Okay, well thanks for that.
(sighs)
Listen...
here's the weird part.
Oh, the weird part, please.
Tom acted like he knew what
his dad was talking about.
He was totally fine
dealing with it, and then...
he got that fucking note,
and it just totally threw him.
- (wind whooshing)
- (gentle poignant music)
- [Jess] God.
- [Mark] Really looking forward
to this trip.
- Ah, damn.
- [Kathy] Tom?
- (Mark gasps)
- (gentle poignant music)
(Mark sighs)
(door rattles)
[Mark] Yeah.
- Oh, fuck.
- (leaves rustling)
(Mark gasps)
Oh wow, this is straight out
of a fucking slasher movie.
Shh, shh, shh...
Tom!
I'm here with Mark and Jess!
(tense poignant music)
He's not here.
Maybe he went out?
- (tense poignant music)
- (Kathy gasps)
(birds cawing)
Without these? (exclaims)
- (phone thuds)
- Oh God. (pants)
- [Tom] What are you doing here?
- Oh my God.
Oh my God, baby,
I was so worried.
Wait, were you in the lake?
You have to be freezing.
Why are you all here?
[Kathy]
Why are you acting so rude?
I told you to stay away.
Okay, well,
that is not fair to me.
To us. I mean.
Listen, we were not trying
to ambush you.
I was concerned.
You didn't respond
to anything I sent you.
Did you stop to think that
might be for a fucking reason?
I can think of a few reasons.
Oh, give me a fucking
break. Not this shit again!
Well, what was I supposed
to think?
I warned you not to come here,
but you just couldn't fucking
listen, could you, Kathy?
I can't protect you.
Tom, just, well, just--
Fuck this!
(Kathy gasps)
None of this matters anymore.
[Jess] Hey, you two?
How about
we all just take a deep breath
and... chill for a second.
We came out here for you, Tom.
We just needed to know
you were okay.
We all know you're in need
of some love right now.
What I need is a fucking beer.
(tense music)
(box thuds)
(bottles clatter)
Mark, you coming?
(slow poignant music)
Uh...
(slow poignant music continues)
- (Mark sighs)
- You okay?
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
(clears throat)
[Jess] Let's get settled.
(Kathy sighs)
(tense poignant music)
(door clicks)
- (seagulls squawking)
- (tense suspenseful music)
(sighs)
(tense suspenseful music
continues)
(Mark groans)
(waves whooshing)
(tense suspenseful music
continues)
(seagulls squawking)
(Mark sighs)
Look, man, I'm, uh,
sorry about all of this.
We're just...
worried about you.
(tense music)
I'm really sorry about your dad.
Fuck him.
(wind whooshing)
- (seagulls squawking)
- (foreboding music)
You know, when my dad died,
I didn't know what to do.
I just felt alone and scared,
and well... scared.
Jess was great, but you
know, between you and me,
work is what really helped.
Seriously, don't ever
tell her I said that.
But yeah, so work
saved the day for me.
I must have got the most done
right after.
Maybe borderline obsessive. Huh.
(ominous music)
[Mark] But, yeah, you know, it
gave me something to grab onto,
you know, during the chaos.
Just hope you can find
something to grab onto.
(ominous music)
[Mark] Anyway, pal,
let me get back inside.
(grunts) See you in a minute.
(tense music)
Tell her I'm sorry.
- (seagulls squawking)
- What was that?
- Ah!
- (seagulls squawking)
- (tense solemn music)
- (waves whooshing)
- (insects chirping)
- (fire crackling)
- [Jess] Hey, guys-
- [Mark] Listen, listen,
because, listen, because one
day this is gonna be useful.
This is gonna be useful.
We all wanna set up all of
our, you know, our lives.
You want a good portfolio,
and well,
this is what it's all about.
This is what I've been doing.
This is what I've been
working on, is the port--
- I think you've been working...
- Now I'm just...
- ...getting it ready.
- ...on a bottle whiskey.
Trying to flip more...
His name?
- Elijah? (laughs)
- You're so,
you're so... Babe...
- Why don't you take a seat?
- Can you get me
some water, please?
- Yeah.
- Put, put that-=
No!
- That's good.
- Mark!
That's good.
- Okay.
- We send, we send it up.
- We send--
- That's right.
- We send it up.
- That, that's a great idea.
To th... To the man,
to the man upstairs.
Do you want a marshmallow?
I would love (clears throat),
I would love
all of the marshmallows.
(laughing) Let me
give you a marshmallow.
Let me have a marshmallow.
Do it good though.
Wow, this looks really
cool in slow motion.
Oh, that's pretty.
Your face looks cool in slo-mo.
Oh, yeah? I bet it does.
You going through your
photography merit badge?
Oh, as if this degenerate
could be a boy scout.
[Kathy] Oh! Yeah, he was.
He just didn't make it
all the way to Cub Scout.
- (Mark exclaims)
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
You mean
you haven't told her the story
about... how you were
tied to a tree
by your troop at summer camp?
Oh, you've been
holding out on me, huh?
(chuckles)
Yeah, no, that's a...
a lakeside memory
worth drinking to.
In fact...
it was a night
just like tonight.
Okay, I am gonna stop you
right there.
Let's just keep it simple.
Five words,
tree, rope, peanut butter,
raccoons.
That's the Lord of the Flies
shit.
Oh, my God. Are you okay?
Yeah.
All right, take it easy, sis.
That was six words. Okay?
Peanut butter, two words,
it is, you dummy.
(Jess speaks indistinctly,
chuckles)
- (insects chirping)
- (wind whooshing)
(fire crackling)
We should probably talk?
Yeah.
I missed you.
I missed you.
- (wind whooshing)
- (fire crackling)
Come on.
Can you just tell me
what's wrong?
Please, just talk to me.
I tried to save you.
(wind whooshing)
Save me from what?
(fire crackling)
Can you please just...
please just talk to me?
Listen, we can get through
this together. Okay?
(insects chirping)
I--
I need you.
I'm right here.
I wish you weren't.
It's gonna take you,
just like it's taking me.
Just like it's taking
everybody who's close to it.
No. No, you know what,
what about what I need?
I need more than this.
I did not act like this
when my dad died.
This is all so unfair.
I'm just asking you to
open up just a little bit
and let me in.
We came here to help you,
and I'm asking you,
please let us help you.
You can't do this on your own.
Just allow us to be the
supportive family
that you've always wanted.
(tense poignant music)
(Kathy chattering)
Just, like,
all you do is work and work,
and then you work, you work,
you work.
Will you just look at me?

(tense poignant music continues)
(Kathy continues chattering)
(tense poignant music continues)
(Kathy continues chattering)
(intensifying

[Kathy]
I just don't understand
how you can
throw everything away
after we've been through
so much together,
and all I'm asking is for
you just to look at me!
Will you just look at me
for once?
Will you just look at me?
Look at me!

Tom?
I can see how much
you're hurting right now.
It can feel like...
you have to hold onto the pain.
But you don't have to bear it
on your own.
I know the pain you're feeling.
You have to be worried
about hurting us.
Grief, loss, anger...
that doesn't belong to you.
And I know that
when you're in the hole,
it's all you can see.
But I promise
that there's a way to climb out.
(tense solemn music)
There's no way out.
Not now.
(fire crackling)
Not for us.
[Jess] Hey!
You know my deal.
(solemn music)
There's always a way.
I'm proof of that.
(soft solemn music)
(Tom gulping)
[Jess] Tell you what,
we'll talk about it
in the morning.
It's not the best time.
Just remember,
we can get through this
together.
All right?

Stay back.
(Jess panting)
[Mani] I made this just for you.
My special little girl.
Extra frosting.
I don't need it!
(suspenseful music)
You can't lie--
You can't lie to me, Jess.
Not here! Not here!

What are you doing out here?
- Connecting.
- Tom?
What is going on with you?
I don't understand.
You still don't see it.
You will.
See what?
What am I supposed to be seeing?
I fought against it
my entire life,
but it's clear to me now.
It's better to give in.
[Jess] Tom, wait.
You're not making any sense.
What's got you up anyways?
- Bad dreams?
- (suspenseful music)
[Jess] What...?
What...? Tom. Wait!
It's happening, Jess.
You can't control this.
Enjoy the view.

Are you... Are you okay?
(gasps) Uh, um...

Uh...
I don't remember sleeping
last night.
(scoffs)
Yeah, um...
me either.
- (birds chirping)
- (wind whooshing)
Maybe it was...
the whiskey.
Right.
Hey, uh, um, (clears throat)...
do you wanna...
go for a walk?
- Mm.
- I just, I wanted to talk.
Sh-- Sure, of course. (sniffles)
(wind whooshing)
(birds chittering)
(Kathy chuckles)
(sighs) Listen, I just,
I really feel
like I need to explain
- that text message.
- That, that's your business.
- I don't-
- [Kathy] No, Tom and I
- haven't been doing well.
- (Jess sighs)
For...
a while now.
Even before all of this shit.
We just...
We got married really young.
Or at least I was.
And I love him so much.
Even after what happened
last night, with...
Sometimes...
I just feel
like the gap between us
and where we're at in our lives
and the things that we want,
just really put a strain on us.
And that's completely
understandable, but...
why not just talk to Tom?
Why-- Why this guy?
It's not even anything serious.
We met at a party.
Tom was...
away on business again.
We got drunk.
One thing led to another.
Well, I mean, there were
a lot of anothers, but...
- (wind whooshing)
- (birds chirping)
[Kathy] I fucked up.
More than once.
I can't stop.
Does Tom know?
Oh God, no. I mean, like...
what would that do?

Hey, shithead.
[Mark] What's up?
Oh man, you look terrible.
I look amazing.
I got the hair of that dog
and the shadow on my face.
(Mark gulping)
Looks like you got
the whole dog there.
Yeah. (sniffles)
Where is Jess?
We've just been for a walk
in the woods.
Have you... Have you seen Tom?
(exhales) No.
Maybe he went for a walk?
Into the forest?
Oh, shit!
[Mark] You all right?
Uh, no, I mean, yeah, I just,
um, I just...
need to find Tom.
Feel better, buddy.
I'll feel better
When there's better weather
And there's
(suspenseful music)
(birds chirping)
This stupid cabin,
this stupid lake.
Tom!
(suspenseful music)
Tom? (gasps)
Tom!
(Kathy exclaims)
Ugh.
(sighs) I'm gonna have
to dry-clean everything.
Tom?
- Tom?
- (branches crack)
Anyone?
(suspenseful music)
(Kathy panting)
Clint?
Wait, what are you doing here?
- Wait.
- (suspenseful music)
You can't be here.
Didn't you get all my texts?
I just had to see you.
- No! No, no, no.
- You're all
- I think about.
- How did you even find me?
No, what is happening right now?
No, no, you, you,
you have to go.
Yes, let's leave.
We can be together.
Hey, I know you feel this too.
No, I... (sighs)
I need to be with my husband.
Listen, I've made my choice.
There is no choice.
I can't be seen with you.
Nothing can be seen.
What?
- I see you.
- (Kathy gasps)
(suspenseful music)
Tom, please.
What the fuck is happening?
Tom, stop!
What the fuck is happening?
Tom, please stop.
Look at me, Kathy.
(sobbing) I don't understand.
[Tom] Look at me, Kathy.
Look at me!

Mark! (panting) Get up!
Get up, Mark.
- Jess!
- Get up.
- What's going, whoa, what?
- Kathy's in the lake.
- We have to go get Kathy.
- Whoa, what's wrong?
She got pulled into the lake,
and Tom, (gasps)
something's wrong with Tom.
- What? What do you mean?
- No, we have to go.
- Come on!
- Whoa, wait, Jess!
(grunts) Goddammit.
Where are you going?
(tense music)
[Mark] Oh, you're all right.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be?
I saw you in the lake.
Babe, she seems fine. So.
I know what I saw.
Are you sure?
You seem out of control, Jess.
Don't fuck with me, Kathy!
(eerie tense music)
Babe, what's going on?
You've been off all day.
(panting) Fuck you. Fuck you!
I'm leaving!
(screams)
- (door rattles and thuds)

I'm too hung over for this shit.

Jess?

Jess?

Hey, what the hell
was that about?
I swear, I saw what I saw.
What do you think you saw?
I mean, God, you sound like
a crazy person right now.
No, no. You see,
something's wrong here, okay?
I just saw Tom walking
into the lake last night,
and then when I spoke to him,
he was completely unstable.
And then today, Kathy
gets pulled into the lake
and Tom has no fucking face!
I mean, what the? There's
something, the-- the sound.
- What even is that sound?
- [Mark] Baby, baby, calm down.
Baby, baby, baby, look, I--
I-- I'm on your side, okay?
I-- I-- I'm--
I wanna be with you about this,
but maybe you're just
taking too much on, okay?
Maybe this is all a bit much
for you.
Their craziness, the shit
you got going on with work.
I mean, you always say,
"Hey, stress plays tricks
with our minds," huh?
Maybe this isn't the break
that we needed.
Huh? (sighs) I mean,
Kathy seems fine.
(pants)
Your sister's fucking off!
Okay?
Yeah, I agree with you.
She is a little crazy.
That's all right.
Let them be fucking
crazy and weird together.
No! No, no, she's not
right, he's not right.
This place is fucked! Okay?
Can we leave? Let's leave!
Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.
That sounds amazing.
Let's-- Let's make that happen.
Um, I'll go up the stairs.
I'll try and get some
service and call Carlos.
He can come down and grab us,
right?
So, we can get the fuck
outta here.
Oh, God. Okay.
Um, why don't you get
packed up. Get the shits.
I'll be right back, okay?
If I take a little while,
then just go walk on the beach.
Clear your head.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I love you. Okay?
Please, hurry.

all right?
Just get--
I'm gonna send you a location,
and just, when you get it,
just-- just drive there.
Just drop everything and

[Tom] Hello?
Yes.
Yeah, that's me.
[Kathy] Tom, who is it?
Yes?
Yes, that's my father.
(Tom exhales sharply)
Okay.
(sighs) Okay.
Thank you.
- [Kathy] What happened?
- (Tom sighs)
Tom?
[Tom] Oh, God.
[Kathy]
Wait, what happened, Tom?

How do you feel?
How am I supposed to feel?
Mani, meditation
is about...
grounding yourself,
gaining control...
(sniffles) I think
I've taken control of my life
just fine.
You know,
this doesn't just have to be
a condition of your parole.
You can choose
to get something out of it.
Come on, we've been at
this for a few weeks.
Just... talk to me as a friend.
I'm good, I (chuckles).
You, you really think I need
someone like you as a friend?
You don't know
the first thing about me.
I know enough.
I know you have no clue
what real pain feels like.
[Jess] So, you are in pain?
Okay, then tell me about that.
I'm good.
(scoffs) So, we got,
what, 45 minutes to go?
(Mani sighs)
(tense somber music)
(tense somber music continues)
When I was ten,
my mom used to grind up oxy
and put it in my corn flakes,
with extra sugar
to hide the taste.
She called them Super Frosties,
and that's how I got hooked.
(tense somber music)
[Jess] Dad liked Mom on drugs,
and Mom liked me on drugs, so.
(tense somber music continues)
[Jess] (scoffs) Family bonding.
The school counselor, Linda,
got wise to what was going on...
so the cops showed up
and took me with them.
And I stayed with Linda
for two weeks
getting clean on Cheerios.
Then it was foster homes
for a little bit, um...
You know the type, it's all
about the government checks
and not about the kids.
But I must have made
a good first impression
because the counselor came back,
and I got to live with her.
(gentle pensive music)
The same day my mom OD'd.
Best day of my life.
So, I'm just trying to help
people the way she helped me.
Well, what, so...
you expect me to feel
some way about this, Jess?
Am I supposed
to feel remorseful?
Am I supposed
to feel empathetic?
(soft tense music)
How the fuck
are you supposed to help me?
Sounds like you're here
to work out your own shit.
(tense solemn music)
- (Mani scoffs)
- (tense music)
(tense music continues)
You're weak...
pathetic little fucking girl.
(tense music continues)
Meditate on that.
(gasps)

See you next time, Jess.

Boss? Boss!
You still good
for that ten o'clock?
Yeah.
Mail and contracts.
Comes from the State
and it looks important.
Okay.
(pen clicks)
- Okay?
- Thanks.
You good?
Yeah.
You sure?
Yeah.
All right. Thanks.

I don't give a fuck, Carlos.
Just (grunts) have them get
the new floors in, okay?
I need this money pit to go
on the market like yesterday.
(Mark grunting)
Don't be afraid
(soft upbeat music)
[Mark] All right.
(Mark grunting)
When I need to
- Okay, what's next?
- (door thuds)
Are we good?
The basement? What, are
you fucking kidding me?
Babe, if I can just...?
No, you work for me, Carlos.
Okay?
I pay you, you pay
them, they approve the build.
You understand that, huh?
Comprende?
Babe?
- [Mark] Ah!
- Babe, I really need you to--
Ah!
Sorry about that.
What was...
What were you saying?
- Oh.
- (door thuds)
Oh, fucking great.
What?
No, not you.
Just... get it done.
Okay. All right.
(upbeat music)
More than you know
Secret
Honey?
Ah, shit.
I feel the fire
- (door thuds)
- You okay? And I'm sorry.
(chuckles)
The contractors are fighting me
on every little goddamn
thing with this flip.
Might need to lawyer-up
on this one.
Carlos is, (chuckles)
he's driving me insane.
I'm gonna have
a goddamn aneurysm.
(groans)
He's acting like he's drowning.
Jess?
Is this because of me?
I'm sorry, I--
I didn't mean to, you know, I--
Not everything's about you,
Mark.
(traffic droning)
[Jess] Look, it was just...
it was an intense day at work.
[Mark] How so?
Mani.
That motherfucker.
What happened?
He got in my face.
I worry about this every
time you work with this guy.
Goddammit, it scares me.
I was trying to connect
with him on the same level
and I let my guard down,
I told him about Mom.
No, this isn't up to you.
No, this is not your fault.
This is on him, okay?
You can't control everything.
Okay?
This guy is a walking mindfuck.
(sighs) I have to be better.
Fuck him. Okay? (chuckles)
(sighs) You have worked so hard
to overcome so much shit
in your life.
(sighs) I know you wanna
help everyone who needs it,
but... trust me...
hey, some people
don't deserve it.
[Jess] Don't say that.
Quit then! Hey, work with kids.
Leave that place
before something happens.
Before Mani gets outta
control and does something--
(knuckles rapping)
(sighs) Who is it?
- (knuckles rapping)
- Just--
I said, who is it?
Babe, there's no need to yell.
- (knuckles rapping)
- (Mark sighs)
(switch clicks)
- (door clicks and creaks)
- (foot taps)
(gasps) Christ, Kathy.
It's my fucking sister.
Ah! Let her in.
(Mark groans)
Jesus Christ,
you look like shit.
You drunk?
Maybe.
- (Mark sighs)
- You know what?
- I'm not sorry about it.
- Yeah.
Hey Kathy, what's up?
- (door thuds)
- Hey.
- (Mark sighs)
- Would you get us some water?
Yeah. Whatever works for you.
Considering the evening I've
had, I'm opting for Scotch.
Hey! What's going on?
(Kathy sighs)
I need your help.
Help with what?
Tom.
Is he okay?
(sighs)
I haven't heard
from him in over a week.
He stopped responding
to my calls.
He won't respond
to my text messages.
And then,
like, his work keeps calling me
with all this stupid shit
that I don't understand.
The fucking selfish asshole.
And then, I, like, tried to
buy a gift for my friend,
and then all of my credit
cards were declined.
I'm just, like,
I don't know what to do,
and why does this
keep happening to me?
Here, drink this.
Did you just
hand me water in a mug?
- Yes.
- Ugh.
(Jess chuckles)
(exhales) And now let's
take some deep breaths.
So just exhale. (exhales deeply)
(chuckles)
And breathe in.
(Kathy blows raspberry)
- (chuckles)
- (Jess exhales deeply)
Okay, now slow down.
- (Kathy groans)
- Start over.
Where is Tom?
(sighs)
He's at the lake house.
I should have never
let him go there.
[Tom] (voicemail) I told you
to fucking stop, Kathy.
Can you fucking listen to me?
You know I was right.
My fucking dad knows it
now. The lake is real.
(Kathy sobs)
[Tom] I don't know
how much time we have left.
I just don't know.
Forget about me!
Stay the fuck away!
- Stay away!
- (solemn music)
- (Kathy sobs)
- What a prick.
(sobs) But he's my prick.
I'm gonna lose him.
I mean, things were like...
off, I guess.
- (solemn music)
- (Kathy sniffles)
Maybe he knew...
(gasping) Oh God, he's
really gonna leave me.
He's gonna leave me. (sobbing)
(solemn music)
He needs us.
- (Kathy sobs)
- Okay?
- Okay.
- So we're gonna go out there
and we're gonna help him.
(sobs) Really?
You would do that for me?
It's what I do.
Oh!
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- (Kathy sobs)
- Of course.
(exhales sharply)
I have to pee.

- No!
- No. I'm okay.
- (tense music)
- (foreboding music)
- I'm fine.
(gasps)
I need to go to the lake.
Can you hear it?
(lid cracks)
I need to get closer!
- Dad!
- (Barbara gasps)
- (Barbara thuds)
- Mom, no!
- [young Tom] Stop it!
- Tommy!
(Barbara screaming)
- [young Tom] Mother!
- Tommy?
[Tom] Dad! Dad!
[Elliot] Tommy! Tommy!
- Mom!
- [Elliot] What are you doing?
She's not supposed to
be out here, you idiot.
Come here. Come here!
Babe, babe, look at me.
Babe, look at me.
Just look at me.
Come on. Come on.
Babe, shh, shh, breathe,
breathe!
- (Barbara exclaims)
- Come on, babe,
you're scaring me.
Come on.
Stop, start looking at me.
Open your eyes.
Open your fucking eyes!
- Stop this now!
- (tense music)
You just need your pills.
You just need your pills, babe.
I'll go get your pills.
You watch her?
Don't let her leave!
(tense music)
[young Tom] (whimpers) Mom! Mom!
Wake up! Please!

- (tense music)
I'll take you to the lake.
I'll take you
to the fucking lake.
You're there the whole time!
You were already there!
Please go. (exclaims)
Come on, go be with your god,
Mom.
You always were on...,
you were always there.
- (tense music)
- (Tom grunts)
- (gasps) Fuck!
- (water splashes)

[Jess] God, it really is
beautiful out here.
Right, Mark?
- Mark.
- What's that?
You know, I was just saying
that things are gonna be great,
and once we get Tom sorted,
uh, you both can cook dinner
for us.
Give us foot massages.
(chuckles) Amen to that.
Yeah, totally.
(Jess and Kathy chuckle)
Whoa, what did I miss?
You know,
you should put that down,
put it on mute,
take in the scenery.
Oh, why are you
breaking my balls, huh?
- Right.
- At least I'm not driving.
Hey, eyes on the road, Kathy.
Yeah, okay, cool, cool,
cool story, bro.
I mean, he's right.
You could hit a deer.
Wait, really?
Yeah, there's wildlife.
Oh, that would be awful.
Yeah, it's not a good way
to go.
Plus, deer? They're amazing.
Yeah, we were watching
this documentary.
Apparently they're
worshiped in some cultures.
Okay. No, no, fuck Bambi.
It's more the car that
I'm concerned about.
- (Mark scoffs)
- (car whooshing)
- (car horn honking)
- (car tires screeching)
Eat it, asshole!
These drivers out here
are the worst.
- (Kathy gasps)
- All right,
that's enough of that. (sighs)
Why don't we just
play some music, yeah?
- (upbeat music)
- (phone pings)
Well, I don't care
Care
Anymore
Well, it's not fair
Fair
I got one foot out the door
(upbeat music)

(soft poignant music)
(car tires crunching)
[Mark]
Fuck me, just lost service.
No bars.
- (soft poignant music)

(Mark sighs)
[Kathy] All right, that's Tom's.
[Jess] Suppose this must be it.
- (car door thuds)
- [Mark] This is it?
[Kathy] Hang on.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(Kathy sighs )
Oh, shit.
Tom said something about stairs,
but he didn't say this many.
- (car door thuds)
- [Mark] What's the matter?
It's just a bunch of steps.
We skip leg day, or something?
Okay, leg day.
(soft solemn music)
Ah, blow me.
(soft tense music)
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
[Mark] Are you sure
we got the right place?
(phone pings)
Hold on, you got service?
- [Kathy] Uh...
- No way.
(scoffs) I just missed
a nail appointment
and they're just trying
to get me to pay.
Carry these?
What?
Unless you wanna come
back to get them later?
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(Mark sighs)
(car door thuds)
Well, wait.
- (birds chirping)
- (birds cawing)
(metal clangs)
(chuckles)
(birds cawing)
"85 pounds max."
So it'll carry half of me.
(birds cawing)

You think this thing works?
Only one way to find out.
- (screen whooshes)
- (dramatic music)
(cover rattles and creaks)
(generator whirring)

- [Mark] Oh, shit!
- Great.
- (Mark exclaims)
You've only been here a minute
and you're already
breaking stuff.
(Mark babbles)
- You're on bag duty.
- (bags thuds)
(Jess and Mark sigh)
Fuck me.
(birds cawing)
(bag handle rattles)
(gentle poignant music)
[Jess] So...
you think there'd be
more houses down here.
[Kathy] Yeah, it's
funny, you know, Tom said
that this is
actually the only house
that's down here on the lake.
I guess nobody goes down here.
They even shut down the, uh,
lighthouse.
It's a nature preserve
or some shit?
[Mark]
Yeah, that's probably why
they didn't do any developing
down here.
[Jess]
But what about the lighthouse?
Oh, GPS, babe,
works on water too.
You know, no one needs a
giant flashlight showing them
not to hit the shore anymore.
Damn, I'm fucked.
No service down here.
God, Tom better have
fucking internet
at that house. (sighs)
[Kathy] Oh, really?
So you can, you know,
not enjoy all of this?
[Mark] Oh God, don't start.
Come on, I'm just saying.
[Mark] (exclaims) Thanks, Mom!
Okay, so...
what exactly happened
with Tom's dad?
Look, all I know is that Tom
got a note
with some of his belongings,
and it said something about
going to be with the lake
for an eternity, or some...
dark shit like that.
And... it was ruled a suicide.
He killed himself?
Kathy, that's kind of important.
When were you gonna tell us?
Tom didn't want anybody to know,
and...
they haven't found the body.
[Mark] It's not that weird.
This lake's basically an ocean.
You know,
he probably just became dinner
for a thousand different fish.
[Kathy]
Okay, well thanks for that.
(sighs)
Listen...
here's the weird part.
Oh, the weird part, please.
Tom acted like he knew what
his dad was talking about.
He was totally fine
dealing with it, and then...
he got that fucking note,
and it just totally threw him.
- (wind whooshing)
- (gentle poignant music)
- [Jess] God.
- [Mark] Really looking forward
to this trip.
- Ah, damn.
- [Kathy] Tom?
- (Mark gasps)
- (gentle poignant music)
(Mark sighs)
(door rattles)
[Mark] Yeah.
- Oh, fuck.
- (leaves rustling)
(Mark gasps)
Oh wow, this is straight out
of a fucking slasher movie.
Shh, shh, shh...
Tom!
I'm here with Mark and Jess!
(tense poignant music)
He's not here.
Maybe he went out?
- (tense poignant music)
- (Kathy gasps)
(birds cawing)
Without these? (exclaims)
- (phone thuds)
- Oh God. (pants)
- [Tom] What are you doing here?
- Oh my God.
Oh my God, baby,
I was so worried.
Wait, were you in the lake?
You have to be freezing.
Why are you all here?
[Kathy]
Why are you acting so rude?
I told you to stay away.
Okay, well,
that is not fair to me.
To us. I mean.
Listen, we were not trying
to ambush you.
I was concerned.
You didn't respond
to anything I sent you.
Did you stop to think that
might be for a fucking reason?
I can think of a few reasons.
Oh, give me a fucking
break. Not this shit again!
Well, what was I supposed
to think?
I warned you not to come here,
but you just couldn't fucking
listen, could you, Kathy?
I can't protect you.
Tom, just, well, just--
Fuck this!
(Kathy gasps)
None of this matters anymore.
[Jess] Hey, you two?
How about
we all just take a deep breath
and... chill for a second.
We came out here for you, Tom.
We just needed to know
you were okay.
We all know you're in need
of some love right now.
What I need is a fucking beer.
(tense music)
(box thuds)
(bottles clatter)
Mark, you coming?
(slow poignant music)
Uh...
(slow poignant music continues)
- (Mark sighs)
- You okay?
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
(clears throat)
[Jess] Let's get settled.
(Kathy sighs)
(tense poignant music)
(door clicks)
- (seagulls squawking)
- (tense suspenseful music)
(sighs)
(tense suspenseful music
continues)
(Mark groans)
(waves whooshing)
(tense suspenseful music

(seagulls squawking)
(Mark sighs)
Look, man, I'm, uh,
sorry about all of this.
We're just...
worried about you.
(tense music)
I'm really sorry about your dad.
Fuck him.
(wind whooshing)
- (seagulls squawking)
- (foreboding music)
You know, when my dad died,
I didn't know what to do.
I just felt alone and scared,
and well... scared.
Jess was great, but you
know, between you and me,
work is what really helped.
Seriously, don't ever
tell her I said that.
But yeah, so work
saved the day for me.
I must have got the most done
right after.
Maybe borderline obsessive. Huh.
(ominous music)
[Mark] But, yeah, you know, it
gave me something to grab onto,
you know, during the chaos.
Just hope you can find
something to grab onto.
(ominous music)
[Mark] Anyway, pal,
let me get back inside.
(grunts) See you in a minute.
(tense music)
Tell her I'm sorry.
- (seagulls squawking)
- What was that?
- Ah!
- (seagulls squawking)
- (tense solemn music)
- (waves whooshing)
- (insects chirping)
- (fire crackling)
- [Jess] Hey, guys-
- [Mark] Listen, listen,
because, listen, because one
day this is gonna be useful.
This is gonna be useful.
We all wanna set up all of
our, you know, our lives.
You want a good portfolio,
and well,
this is what it's all about.
This is what I've been doing.
This is what I've been
working on, is the port--
- I think you've been working...
- Now I'm just...
- ...getting it ready.
- ...on a bottle whiskey.
Trying to flip more...
His name?
- Elijah? (laughs)
- You're so,
you're so... Babe...
- Why don't you take a seat?
- Can you get me
some water, please?
- Yeah.
- Put, put that-=
No!
- That's good.
- Mark!
That's good.
- Okay.
- We send, we send it up.
- We send--
- That's right.
- We send it up.
- That, that's a great idea.
To th... To the man,
to the man upstairs.
Do you want a marshmallow?
I would love (clears throat),
I would love
all of the marshmallows.
(laughing) Let me
give you a marshmallow.
Let me have a marshmallow.
Do it good though.
Wow, this looks really
cool in slow motion.
Oh, that's pretty.
Your face looks cool in slo-mo.
Oh, yeah? I bet it does.
You going through your
photography merit badge?
Oh, as if this degenerate
could be a boy scout.
[Kathy] Oh! Yeah, he was.
He just didn't make it
all the way to Cub Scout.
- (Mark exclaims)
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
You mean
you haven't told her the story
about... how you were
tied to a tree
by your troop at summer camp?
Oh, you've been
holding out on me, huh?
(chuckles)
Yeah, no, that's a...
a lakeside memory
worth drinking to.
In fact...
it was a night
just like tonight.
Okay, I am gonna stop you
right there.
Let's just keep it simple.
Five words,
tree, rope, peanut butter,
raccoons.
That's the Lord of the Flies
shit.
Oh, my God. Are you okay?
Yeah.
All right, take it easy, sis.
That was six words. Okay?
Peanut butter, two words,
it is, you dummy.
(Jess speaks indistinctly,
chuckles)
- (insects chirping)
- (wind whooshing)
(fire crackling)
We should probably talk?
Yeah.
I missed you.
I missed you.
- (wind whooshing)
- (fire crackling)
Come on.
Can you just tell me
what's wrong?
Please, just talk to me.
I tried to save you.
(wind whooshing)
Save me from what?
(fire crackling)
Can you please just...
please just talk to me?
Listen, we can get through
this together. Okay?
(insects chirping)
I--
I need you.
I'm right here.
I wish you weren't.
It's gonna take you,
just like it's taking me.
Just like it's taking
everybody who's close to it.
No. No, you know what,
what about what I need?
I need more than this.
I did not act like this
when my dad died.
This is all so unfair.
I'm just asking you to
open up just a little bit
and let me in.
We came here to help you,
and I'm asking you,
please let us help you.
You can't do this on your own.
Just allow us to be the
supportive family
that you've always wanted.
(tense poignant music)
(Kathy chattering)
Just, like,
all you do is work and work,
and then you work, you work,
you work.
Will you just look at me?
- (tense poignant music)

(tense poignant music continues)
(Kathy continues chattering)
(tense poignant music continues)
(Kathy continues chattering)
(intensifying

[Kathy]
I just don't understand
how you can
throw everything away
after we've been through
so much together,
and all I'm asking is for
you just to look at me!
Will you just look at me
for once?
Will you just look at me?
Look at me!

Tom?
I can see how much
you're hurting right now.
It can feel like...
you have to hold onto the pain.
But you don't have to bear it
on your own.
I know the pain you're feeling.
You have to be worried
about hurting us.
Grief, loss, anger...
that doesn't belong to you.
And I know that
when you're in the hole,
it's all you can see.
But I promise
that there's a way to climb out.
(tense solemn music)
There's no way out.
Not now.
(fire crackling)
Not for us.
[Jess] Hey!
You know my deal.
(solemn music)
There's always a way.
I'm proof of that.
(soft solemn music)
(Tom gulping)
[Jess] Tell you what,
we'll talk about it
in the morning.
It's not the best time.
Just remember,
we can get through this
together.
All right?

Something you need.
Stay back.
(Jess panting)
[Mani] I made this just for you.
My special little girl.
Extra frosting.
I don't need it!
(suspenseful music)
You can't lie--
You can't lie to me, Jess.
Not here! Not here!
(tense suspenseful music)

What are you doing out here?
- Connecting.
- Tom?
What is going on with you?
I don't understand.
You still don't see it.
You will.
See what?
What am I supposed to be seeing?
I fought against it
my entire life,
but it's clear to me now.
It's better to give in.
[Jess] Tom, wait.
You're not making any sense.
What's got you up anyways?
- Bad dreams?
- (suspenseful music)
[Jess] What...?
What...? Tom. Wait!
It's happening, Jess.
You can't control this.
Enjoy the view.

Are you... Are you okay?
(gasps) Uh, um...

Uh...
I don't remember sleeping
last night.
(scoffs)
Yeah, um...
me either.
- (birds chirping)
- (wind whooshing)
Maybe it was...
the whiskey.
Right.
Hey, uh, um, (clears throat)...
do you wanna...
go for a walk?
- Mm.
- I just, I wanted to talk.
Sh-- Sure, of course. (sniffles)
(wind whooshing)
(birds chittering)
(Kathy chuckles)
(sighs) Listen, I just,
I really feel
like I need to explain
- that text message.
- That, that's your business.
- I don't-
- [Kathy] No, Tom and I
- haven't been doing well.
- (Jess sighs)
For...
a while now.
Even before all of this shit.
We just...
We got married really young.
Or at least I was.
And I love him so much.
Even after what happened
last night, with...
Sometimes...
I just feel
like the gap between us
and where we're at in our lives
and the things that we want,
just really put a strain on us.
And that's completely
understandable, but...
why not just talk to Tom?
Why-- Why this guy?
It's not even anything serious.
We met at a party.
Tom was...
away on business again.
We got drunk.
One thing led to another.
Well, I mean, there were
a lot of anothers, but...
- (wind whooshing)
- (birds chirping)
[Kathy] I fucked up.
More than once.
I can't stop.
Does Tom know?
Oh God, no. I mean, like...
what would that do?

Hey, shithead.
[Mark] What's up?
Oh man, you look terrible.
I look amazing.
I got the hair of that dog
and the shadow on my face.
(Mark gulping)
Looks like you got
the whole dog there.
Yeah. (sniffles)
Where is Jess?
We've just been for a walk
in the woods.
Have you... Have you seen Tom?
(exhales) No.
Maybe he went for a walk?
Into the forest?
Oh, shit!
[Mark] You all right?
Uh, no, I mean, yeah, I just,
um, I just...
need to find Tom.
Feel better, buddy.
I'll feel better
When there's better weather
And there's
(suspenseful music)
(birds chirping)
This stupid cabin,
this stupid lake.
Tom!
(suspenseful music)
Tom? (gasps)
Tom!
(Kathy exclaims)
Ugh.
(sighs) I'm gonna have
to dry-clean everything.
Tom?
- Tom?
- (branches crack)
Anyone?
(suspenseful music)
(Kathy panting)
Clint?
Wait, what are you doing here?
- Wait.
- (suspenseful music)
You can't be here.
Didn't you get all my texts?
I just had to see you.
- No! No, no, no.
- You're all
- I think about.
- How did you even find me?
No, what is happening right now?
No, no, you, you,
you have to go.
Yes, let's leave.
We can be together.
Hey, I know you feel this too.
No, I... (sighs)
I need to be with my husband.
Listen, I've made my choice.
There is no choice.
I can't be seen with you.
Nothing can be seen.
What?
- I see you.
- (Kathy gasps)
(suspenseful music)
Tom, please.
What the fuck is happening?
Tom, stop!
What the fuck is happening?
Tom, please stop.
Look at me, Kathy.
(sobbing) I don't understand.
[Tom] Look at me, Kathy.
Look at me!

Mark! (panting) Get up!
Get up, Mark.
- Jess!
- Get up.
- What's going, whoa, what?
- Kathy's in the lake.
- We have to go get Kathy.
- Whoa, what's wrong?
She got pulled into the lake,
and Tom, (gasps)
something's wrong with Tom.
- What? What do you mean?
- No, we have to go.
- Come on!
- Whoa, wait, Jess!
(grunts) Goddammit.
Where are you going?
(tense music)
[Mark] Oh, you're all right.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be?
I saw you in the lake.
Babe, she seems fine. So.
I know what I saw.
Are you sure?
You seem out of control, Jess.
Don't fuck with me, Kathy!
(eerie tense music)
Babe, what's going on?
You've been off all day.
(panting) Fuck you. Fuck you!
I'm leaving!
(screams)
- (door rattles and thuds)

I'm too hung over for this shit.
Um, I'll talk to her.
Jess?

Jess?

Hey, what the hell
was that about?
I swear, I saw what I saw.
What do you think you saw?
I mean, God, you sound like
a crazy person right now.
No, no. You see,
something's wrong here, okay?
I just saw Tom walking
into the lake last night,
and then when I spoke to him,
he was completely unstable.
And then today, Kathy
gets pulled into the lake
and Tom has no fucking face!
I mean, what the? There's
something, the-- the sound.
- What even is that sound?
- [Mark] Baby, baby, calm down.
Baby, baby, baby, look, I--
I-- I'm on your side, okay?
I-- I-- I'm--
I wanna be with you about this,
but maybe you're just
taking too much on, okay?
Maybe this is all a bit much
for you.
Their craziness, the shit
you got going on with work.
I mean, you always say,
"Hey, stress plays tricks
with our minds," huh?
Maybe this isn't the break
that we needed.
Huh? (sighs) I mean,
Kathy seems fine.
(pants)
Your sister's fucking off!
Okay?
Yeah, I agree with you.
She is a little crazy.
That's all right.
Let them be fucking
crazy and weird together.
No! No, no, she's not
right, he's not right.
This place is fucked! Okay?
Can we leave? Let's leave!
Oh, yeah. Oh, okay.
That sounds amazing.
Let's-- Let's make that happen.
Um, I'll go up the stairs.
I'll try and get some
service and call Carlos.
He can come down and grab us,
right?
So, we can get the fuck
outta here.
Oh, God. Okay.
Um, why don't you get
packed up. Get the shits.
I'll be right back, okay?
If I take a little while,
then just go walk on the beach.
Clear your head.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I love you. Okay?
Please, hurry.

I-- (sighs) I need you, buddy,
all right?
Just get--
I'm gonna send you a location,
and just, when you get it,
just-- just drive there.
Just drop everything and
