- [Jim] I don't wanna hear
about her fucking father.
He let your kids run fucking wild.
If he had some discipline,
he would have put them in their place.
She's gonna end up in a loony
bin, the way she's going.
- [Mom] She's not crazy,
she's just having a hard time.
- [Jim] Because she's fucking lazy.
I had two jobs when I was her age, okay?
- [Mom] So did I, Jim, but
things are different now.
- [Jim] Yeah, things
are fucking different.
Kids are fucking lazy and self-obsessed.
- [Mom] She's not a kid and
she's not self-obsessed,
and she's not lazy.
(Anna gasps)
(energetic dramatic music)
(Anna panting)
I'm in a desperate state
I have a honey, she can't wait
I wanna bless her
With her dish of choice
Hmm, can't wait
(electronic dramatic music)
(text crackling)
I'm in a desperate state
Shock (indistinct) right, I'd say
My body's ready to take
So what do you have for me
Give it to me straight
I'll meet you half-way
My real chubby cheek can't wait
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
(train whooshing)
(music drowns out vocalist)
Bet you can't wait
(electronic dramatic music)
She can't be good
Her dish of her choice
She can't wait
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
Can't wait
(warbling electronic dramatic music)
What is it
I'm in a real bad way
I can tell you she can't wait
I wanna bless her
With her dish of her choice
Means you can't wait
(soft slow upbeat music)
- Anna! Hey.
Hey. Uh, butt it out,
no smoking in the beast.
Hands on my face
I'm gonna move past
Your crazy blue ways
- You're seriously keeping it.
- Yeah. You know how expensive
darts are these days?
- Actually, no. Not for
about three years now.
- Traitor.
A story, write this confession
Hi.
- (chuckles) Hi.
So.
- So, what?
- So you finally escaped.
- I did.
- Were you like run out
of town by an angry mob
with torches? (chuckles)
Whatever.
Things will look up
now that you're outta that shithole town.
- Sure.
- Well, you're welcome
to stay with me as long as you need to.
- [Anna] Thanks, Dakota.
- [Dakota] So you're gonna
study archeology, huh?
- Yeah.
- Follow in the old man's footsteps?
There's good buck in that biz.
- Fortune and glory,
kid. Fortune and glory.
- [Dakota] Ah-huh.
- Ah, "Temple of Doom."
- Oh, right. Wow, you
found Dad's old rucksack.
- Well.
- God, that shitty old rucksack's
been all over the world.
I think I've got a photo of Dad wearing it
in Tibet with some monks.
Wait, is that all you brought?
You seriously take after Dad.
- Is that like an insult?
- No. It's like a half
insult, half compliment.
- Well, I'll take what I can get.
- What are you thinking on the work front?
- I've applied to a few places,
but I haven't really
heard anything back, so.
- I can put some feelers out too.
(Anna groans)
What?
- I don't know,
I was just imagining,
like, feelers growing out of your head.
- Yeah, it's a figure of
speech, Anna. (chuckles)
(soft upbeat music)
The black nights and the water
- You know, I'm really glad
you're here. Fresh start.
(traffic whooshing)
(birds chirping)
This is it. We call the
place the Bates Motel.
- I see it. I love this place.
(gentle dramatic music)
- I knew you would.
(soft gentle dramatic music)
Hey, Danny.
- Hey.
- Ah, this is my little sister.
- Hey.
- Okay.
- There goes the building's only hottie.
(Anna whispers)
Of course.
(birds chirping)
(soft dramatic music)
(slow dramatic music)
(switch clicks)
(soft dramatic music)
- [Anna] This is exactly
how I imagined your place.
- Living the dream.
- How's the rent?
- Uh, it's not great.
I mean, it's gotten worse,
which is why it'll be great
the sooner you get a job.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I got that way before he
went full boomer on us.
- We'll always have
"Teenage Frankenstein."
- So the spare room's
first door on the left.
I'm sorry, it's not like
a proper bed or anything.
My housemate took
everything when she left,
even though I'm certain the
bed was there before she was.
- It's cool. I don't really need much.
- [Dakota] Uh, my friend's
band is playing tonight.
Do you wanna come?
- Um, no, thanks.
- You don't wanna meet my loser friends?
I promise, my taste has gotten way better
since we were kids.
- No, I, I love losers, I'm just tired.
I wanna relax.
- No worries. I better get ready.
Truth be told, I might have a slight crush
on Ted, the drummer.
- The drummer? That's rough.
- Maybe I like it like that.
- Ah! Too much information.
- [Dakota] You started it.
Uh, there's a few of us
are gonna go downtown
and get some food beforehand
at this little Thai place,
if you wanna come and grab a bite to eat.
- Um, no, I think I'll
just grab a slice of pizza,
or something.
- [Dakota] Okay, just
don't go to the place
on the corner, Fratelli's.
It's fucking terrible.
They're stingy on the cheese
and the bread is so thick.
- Got it. (scoffs)
(soft slow upbeat music)
(air whooshing)
(metal clanging)
(suspenseful music)
(metal clinking)
(man screaming)
(screen crashing)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(woman screaming)
(Anna panting)
(dramatic music)
(eerie dramatic music)
- Anna, are you okay?
- Yeah, I just had a, a
little microsleep, I- I think.
And a, a nightmare.
- Daymares, Dad called them.
You haven't changed a bit.
- You have no idea.
(insects chirping)
(dog barking)
(sirens wailing)
(dog barking)
(door rattles)
- [Danny] Oh, shit, sorry.
I didn't expect anyone else up here.
- It's okay.
- Do you mind if I?
(Danny groans and sighs)
(car horns honking)
You new to the hub?
- [Anna] Yeah, I, uh, just
moved in with my sister
for a bit.
- Oh yeah, that's right.
She, she mentioned you.
(Danny clears throat)
- What did she say about me?
- [Danny] Nothing. Just, you
know, just you were staying.
She seemed pretty excited about it.
Shit.
(traffic droning)
- Are you guys friends?
- Um, not really. Oh, well, kind of.
I don't know. You know, neighbors.
We catch each other in,
like, the laundry and shit.
(Danny chuckles)
So do you like the city?
- Uh, it has a unique aroma.
- Yeah, it's the, um,
it's the carbon monoxide,
the dirty dumpsters, sewerage system
that doesn't quite work.
You get used to it.
- I doubt it.
(Danny chuckles)
- Uh, I like the, um,
ouroboros on your backpack.
The snake thing. I've
always loved that symbol.
- It was my dad's. He got it
somewhere in Europe, I think.
- [Danny] Mm.
- He was an archeologist,
so he was always bringing
home weird little things.
And I don't know.
To be honest, I feel like he
probably stole a lot of them.
(Danny laughs)
- My dad has a pizza joint down the road.
All he ever brought home
was, like, cold pizza
and stiff garlic bread.
- Fratelli's?
- Yes, it's shit.
Don't go.
- I've heard that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
It's nice to have you here.
In the building, I mean. (chuckles)
You know, it's like
mostly weird old timers
or divorced boomers or creepy single guys.
- So are you one of
the creepy single guys?
(insects chirping)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaking)
(dramatic music)
(door thuds)
Drift and sway
Drift and sway
I wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
- Wait, um.
- [Danny] Too fast?
- No. It's just that, um.
(upbeat music)
I'm trans.
- Oh, that's fine.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's fine.
Drift and sway
(upbeat music)
I wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
I want to taste thy love
I will drain all your blood
I'm wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
(upbeat music)
It's the feeling I love
(Anna moaning)
It's the feeling I love
It's the feeling I love
(Anna panting)
The feeling I love
It's the feeling I love
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(Anna moaning)
(bright music)
(woman sighs)
(woman panting)
- You better be real.
(birds chirping)
(traffic whooshing)
- (slurps) You're so grounded.
- [Anna] Fine. I ruined my life.
- Coffee?
- Uh, yeah.
- I thought you were too tired to go out.
- I, um.
- [Dakota] Still three sugars?
- Mm-hmm.
- You're gonna be diabetic
by 40.
Just so you know,
the apartment below Danny's is occupied
by this weird old spinster lady.
Old lady Bling-Bling, named so
because she jangles with
jewelry as she walks.
She's the building's gossip.
- Okay. (chuckles)
- [Dakota] Don't be shy. Well done.
- Thanks. I guess.
- Danny's nice. A little weird.
- Good weird or bad weird?
- I'd say you weird.
You know, shy, smart, aloof,
and a little mysterious.
I feel like his eyes remind
me of something though.
It's like he just looks
through you. Kinda like you do.
Well, I better get ready for work.
What are you doing today?
- Avoiding the neighbors, I guess.
- [Dakota] (laughs) Well, I work downtown
if you want a lift.
- Yeah.
- Great.
Maybe you can look for a job?
- Okay.
(soft solemn music)
(bells tolling)
(traffic whooshing)
(sirens wailing)
(solemn music)
(workers yelling)
(object thuds)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(traffic whooshing)
(solemn music continues)
(doorbell ringing)
(door clattering)
(door thuds)
- Hey, you after something?
- No.
Or, well, I- I love this
place. It's so cool.
- Yeah.
- Uh, and I saw the sign
out front about, about the job.
- Yeah? Um, okay.
Um, have you got a resume or?
- No.
- Right, um, well, have you
worked in a shop before?
- Mm, not like this,
but I did, um, work in a service station
back home for a bit.
- Well, great, well, um,
can you hang around now
for, like, a trial, today?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well, let me show you the ropes.
Oh, and I'm, uh, Barry,
but folks call me Buz.
- I'm Anna.
- Anna. Anna, good, right.
- Buz.
(Buz chuckles)
(upbeat music)
I can't explain, it's not the same
An old image, a new frame
The rabbit hole is only half
It's not a joke, but I still laugh
(bright upbeat music)
We're watching a dream surround us
The dream begins forever
(bright music)
Oh no, walking in your sleep
To the edges of the cloud
Beyond the end of time
There's a new dream
(gentle bright music)
(screen whooshes)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
- Now, you fill this, now!
- It's cool, man, you got it, you got it.
Okay, okay! You got it, okay!
- Fill it up, hurry up, or I
swear I'll fuckin' bleed ya!
- You got your, it's cool.
You got it, okay?
- Hurry up!
- [Buz] You got it.
- You got a cellphone?
- [Buz] I don't have a cellphone, okay?
I don't have a phone.
- Is this it? You got a safe?
- It's down the back.
- Hey, you old cunt, fuckin' don't move.
You think I'm stupid? You're
gonna call the fuckin' cops.
- Okay. Phone's just there, mate, okay?
Phone's just there. We good?
- Yeah, all right, all right. Hurry up.
(dramatic music)
(soft suspenseful music)
- Get out.
- (panting) What the fuck do you want?
(suspenseful music)
- Get out.
(dramatic music)
(Switch gasping)
(Switch groaning)
(flesh squelching)
(dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(Switch screaming)
(Switch gasping)
(Switch groaning)
(suspenseful music)
(Anna thuds)
(soft upbeat rock music)
This is sure to help those
- [Buz] Where'd he go?
- Uh.
- Jesus. Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm, I'm okay.
I just hit my head.
- Do you need a hospital?
- No, I'm okay.
Really. I think it's j- just the shock.
I'm having such a darn good time
- Why'd he leave?
- I don't know.
Sometimes you just have to
stand up to shitheads, I guess.
- Yeah. Far out. (gasps)
Um, oh, here, hey.
For today. Um, I'm, I'm really sorry.
And I'm, I'm guessing you
don't want the job, so,
a- and which I- I
totally understand, yeah?
- What time do we open tomorrow?
- Really? (chuckles)
- [Anna] Yeah.
- Um, uh, 11:00, I like to sleep in.
- Okay. (chuckles) Cool.
(vocalist singing faintly)
Does this place get robbed often?
- N- no, first time on my watch,
would you believe?
- Mm.
- I don't know if you're
a jinx or a lucky charm.
- Mm, probably both.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, the happy times have changed
- Do you have a first aid kit?
- Yes, first aid kit,
yeah. I'll, I'll be back.
Hold on.
(traffic droning)
(sirens wailing)
(car engine rumbling)
(sirens wailing)
- What happened?
- I'm fine.
- Did someone?
- I, no, it was nothing
like that. I'm fine.
- How did you?
- Someone came through
the door too quickly
and I hit my head.
I'm good though. I'm fine.
Okay? Best first day of work ever.
- You might have a concussion.
- I really don't think I do. I'm fine.
I swear.
- It's a cool shop,
but Jesus, Anna, this is
like the worst part of town.
- Is it?
(traffic whooshing)
I think I can take care of myself.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Come on.
(eerie dramatic music)
- How's the war wound
today? Still hurtin'?
- Um, it's okay.
I've had worse before, so.
- Okay, well, I'm just
gonna be out the back.
Give us a yell if you need anything.
(doorbell ringing)
A little out of control
Broken up in little pieces
Another crooked number
That's all outta control
I've had a million souls
Even more if I imagine
- (sighs) This is gonna
sound way fucking forward,
but can you take a break?
(soft slow upbeat music)
- I can in like 20 minutes.
- Okay. I'll wait.
Like a tear from the sky
- Who was that?
- Oh, um, I don't know.
(slow upbeat music)
Oh
(birds chirping)
(bell ringing)
(traffic whooshing)
- [Woman] I saw what you did yesterday.
- What did I do?
- That piece of shit that
tried to rob the shop,
you popped him.
- I popped him?
- You did. Not too hard, but you did.
You coulda killed him if
you'd done it much harder.
- I don't really know what I did.
- It's a defense you build up.
Almost automatic, but
you gotta be careful.
You kinda stick your
fingers into the brain
and poke the little neurons
and all that shit into
a rush of fear and pain.
It's called popping, 'cause it's a bit
like popping bubble wrap.
But like I said, if you pop it too much,
the fucker might run out of
bubbles and go brain-dead.
Literally die and tear.
- Jesus.
- Don't worry.
I have a feeling you can control yourself.
You've been controlling
yourself for a while, I bet.
- I have.
Or I guess, I- I don't know.
- I can help you.
What else can you do?
Come on, you can tell me.
We're the same. I know you can feel that.
- I can feel it.
- [Woman] So?
- Well,
sometimes I can see
things before they happen.
Sometimes it's like a vision.
Other times it's like climbing a tree
and looking up at the branches.
- Yeah, same. It's hard though.
The trees can get pretty thick,
so fuck knows which
branch is the right one.
- Other times I can feel
what other people feel,
but I try to block it
because it hurts too much.
- Shit, I can't do that.
I wish I could do that.
That's amazing.
I've always felt so disconnected.
- It doesn't help with that.
- Yeah, I guess. I can't
pop people for shit either.
Well, not very well.
I can spook people pretty good.
Jedi-mind-trick them into fucking off,
but nothing like you did.
That guy was bleeding
from the fucking eyes.
It was so slay. What else?
- I don't really know anything else.
All I know is that
strange things happened,
but I don't know how they
happened or I don't understand it.
All I know is that I did it.
Even though I'm flying outta town
- Dogs hate me and cats love me.
- (chuckles) Witchy.
- [Anna] I'm not a witch.
- It's what we used to be called anyways.
- Like spells.
- Spells were just a way
for us to channel our abilities.
It's more like that old show "Bewitched,"
but we don't have to wiggle our nose.
From the sky
- But I'll teach you
about what we were and what we are,
and you can teach me.
I knew you'd come here.
I knew it would be in the city.
I came here looking for you.
I even knew I'd find you around Halloween,
but I never knew you'd be so beautiful.
- That's not true.
- [Woman] Yes, it is.
Stop blocking me and feel it if it's true.
A little out of control
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
Fall
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
- You wanna get high?
- Yeah.
(soft upbeat music)
- [Bouncer] You again.
- Hey, cutie.
- You're lucky you're
not on the banned list.
- Who? Me?
- That boy ended up in the hospital,
broken nose and collarbone.
- He had it coming.
- He did, but if anyone's gonna
beat the shit outta someone
in this club, it's gonna be me.
Who's this?
- New patron. She's cool.
(traffic droning)
- Go on in. And stay outta trouble.
Or I'll throw you out the window.
- You wouldn't do that. You're
too much of a sweetheart.
- Watch out for this one.
She's a bad influence.
- [Woman] I'll take that as a compliment.
(energetic electronic upbeat music)
- I love this place.
- [Woman] Told you. Let's get a drink.
- [Anna] Oh, I don't have any money.
- That's okay. I'll put it on my tab.
(energetic electronic upbeat music)
(bright upbeat music)
- What's your poison?
- Surprise me.
- I'll do the same.
I'm gonna let the music take control
- All right, that'll be-
- On the house.
- On the house.
True love come to me tonight
- On your tab?
(energetic bright electronic music)
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
I never wanna let the
sun set in my soul
I'm gonna let the music take control
And maybe if I sing a magic melody
I can make true love come to me
I never wanna let the
sun set in my soul
I'm gonna let the music take control
And maybe if I sing a magic melody
I can make true love
come to me tonight
(energetic bright electronic music)
Come to me
Music take control
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
True love come to me
Music take control
Music take control
Mu-mu- music take control
True love
Music take control
Love
Mu- music take control
Love
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
(Anna gasps)
- [Anna] Hey.
- Big night?
- Maybe.
(Dakota scoffs)
- You know, I almost called
the cops, I was so worried.
But then I spoke to your new boss,
who said that you left with a girl.
- I just came back for some stuff.
I'm gonna be out for most of the weekend.
- So?
- So what?
- So who's the mystery girl?
I see. Didn't take you
long to make friends.
You've changed so much, you know?
Not like that. I just mean...
I don't know, you've bloomed.
- Bloomed?
- [Dakota] Yeah, you've
like come out of your shell.
- So, am I a flower or am I a snail?
- Shut up. You know what I mean.
You're just not my baby sister anymore.
You're doing so well.
You're scoring with the building hottie.
You're spending weekends with
mystery girls you just met.
- Her name's Gen.
We've actually known
each other for a while,
but we're just now getting
to really know each other.
- Oh. Danny asked me about you.
- He did?
- [Dakota] Mm-hmm. I think he likes you.
- Hmm.
- What's, "Hmm"?
- Mm, just means he has low standards.
You should try for him.
- (scoffs) Maybe I will.
No, I'm so old, I could
be a cougar for him.
- So go for it.
(slow gentle solemn music)
- Anna.
- Mm-hmm?
- [Dakota] This, uh, Gen.
- Yeah.
- She's not,
mm, you know? (sighs)
- A drug addict? Bad influence?
No.
- You know what I mean.
- She's fine.
She's, um, arty, but safe.
- Oh, no, not arty.
- It's okay, I'm, um,
I'm not getting into trouble again.
(gentle solemn music)
- Okay.
- I'm fine.
(suspenseful music)
- I can't do it.
- Sure, you can.
Just try not to think too much.
Like, imagine the feeling of it.
- It's kinda hard to imagine a flame
coming out of my finger.
- Okay, just concentrate on the feeling
of heat flowing up your
arm from your torso
and narrow the tingly heat feeling point
right up to the tip of your finger.
(birds chirping)
(traffic droning)
- Are you trying to teach me
the trick or make me horny?
- Both. But it's not a trick.
Stop thinking trick.
We're not Penn & Teller. It's an ability.
Let the poster get under your skin too.
You gotta wanna light it up.
(gentle solemn music)
(gentle bright music)
(dramatic music)
(flame hisses)
Fuck me!
- Hey!
(Gen and Anna laugh)
- Hey!
- You're gonna pay for that.
- Get back here!
- Hey.
You're a sick fixation
You are
But I just can't seem to find
The truth behind
The lies you tell me
The lies you tell me
Broke or not, you're the perpetrator
I wanna know if I can trust you later
I wanna know if I can love you
I wanna know if I can love you
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Yeah
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
(gentle upbeat music)
I wanna know if I can love you
Nothing more than above you
Gotta know if I can trust you
To be my baby
Can you give me satisfaction
Can you give me a little action
Can you
Gotta know if I can trust you
To be my baby
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Yeah
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
(gentle upbeat music)
(wind whooshing)
(Anna and Gen laughing)
- Don't do that again.
- I know. I know, I can't.
I can't do that.
(woman screaming)
(suspenseful music)
- [Switch] Shut up! Shut up!
Shut up!
- Hey, let go of her.
- Mind your own fucking business!
You!
(suspenseful music)
- You're not gonna hurt anyone anymore.
- Don't look.
(soft suspenseful music)
(bones creaking)
(dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(intensifying dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(dramatic music)
(blood squelching)
(suspenseful music)
It's okay. You won't remember anything.
Now go. Go home.
(dramatic music)
- Holy shit.
- What did I do?
- You just wiped this shit
off the ass's world, babe.
- We have to leave.
(gentle suspenseful music)
(wind whooshing)
- I'm sorry.
Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, hi.
- Hey!
- I- I was just-
- Yeah, I know.
- Hanging out.
- I- I, um.
Yeah. How're you?
- Good.
- Yeah?
That's good.
- [Anna] I've, um.
- Um, no, you, I'll go.
- Sure.
- Um, yeah,
I (chuckles) I've just, you
know, because where, um-
- Right?
- Yeah.
- So it feels like a bit weird.
- You know, it's, we're
not saying anything
right now to each other.
- No.
- No.
- Nothing.
(Danny scoffs)
That was.
- It's just,
it's just drivel, isn't it?
- Meaningless.
- Yeah.
- It was pretty bad.
Um, I hope it doesn't feel
like I just disappeared.
- No.
- I've just been really
busy, like, settling in.
I got a job, so I've just
been like figuring that out.
- Yeah, no, you don't, you really
don't have to like,
explain, it's, it's okay.
- Sure. Yeah.
- Yeah. Um.
- Okay.
- It's been really nice seeing you.
- It's been nice seeing you too.
- Yeah, I- I gotta run.
I gotta get to work.
Um, I'm gonna be late.
- Can't be late.
- No.
My boss is a total ass-face, so.
- Aren't they all?
I know the feeling very well.
- [Danny] (chuckles) Yeah.
- A petite Napoleon.
- Yeah, like a tiny little Hitler.
- Mm. Then I guess Hitler's worse.
- Yeah. Okay, I- I do,
I have, I have to go.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- See ya. Danny, wait!
I, um, you're not gonna believe this,
but I actually made some
new friends, not just you.
(Danny scoffs)
So if you wanna hang out sometime with us.
I don't know if you're free
this weekend?
- Yeah. Yeah, cool.
Just, um, text me.
- Okay.
- Okay, I really gotta go, so.
- Right.
- Okay. Bye.
- See ya.

(eerie suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(gentle dramatic music)
(machine whirring)
- [Gen] This is my newest design.
Do you mind if I take some
pictures when we're done?
- [Danny] Yeah, that's fine.
Um, I've always wanted a ouroboros,
I just never really found one that I like,
but um, no, I- I love this one.
- Well, thanks.
Yeah, I'm not too bashful to admit
that I'm fucking proud of this one.
(machine whirring)
(dramatic music)
(gentle suspenseful music)
- Is everything okay?
- Mm.
Yeah. Just one of those
totally random funks, you know?
- Yeah. No, wait, what?
- Lately, every once in a while, I swear
I can feel the eyes of a
tat staring back at me.
- [Danny] That's kinda creepy.
- It's like for a split second
there's life behind those
eyes and then it dies.
(machine whirring)
Don't worry. This little fang
worm ain't going nowhere.
I'm good, but I'm not that good.
(suspenseful music)
(slow dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(camera shutter clicks)
- Can I take a look?
- [Gen] No. No, man,
this camera's old school.
- Serious?
- Yeah.
Gorgeous old thing. My
girlfriend lent it to me.
Used to belong to her dad.
I kinda like having to
wait for the pictures.
- Yeah, it's kind of honest, right?
No, like face filters and shit.
- Yeah.
(phone chiming)
Do you mind if I get that?
- [Danny] Oh yeah.
- Don't touch it.
(phone continues chiming)
(air whooshing)
(soft suspenseful music)
(soft suspenseful music continues)
(Danny sighs)
(soft suspenseful music continues)
(air whooshing)
Anna? You know it wasn't
your fault, right?
That piece of shit
coulda killed that chick.
He had a knife and he threatened us.
- I know.
I just didn't mean to do that.
- [Gen] You did what you had to.
Besides, I think he got off easy.
- Yeah. Just brain-dead for life.
- Yeah, but you could have
made his head explode.
- Can we do that?
- (chuckles) I don't know.
That'd be so cool though.
Anyways, it's not your fault.
And the world doesn't
need people like that.
A hyena attacked a lion
and got gored. That's all.
(solemn music)
- (sighs) You know, the worst thing is
that I don't even really
feel bad about killing him.
After everything I went through back home,
I just really don't care.
But the thing that worries me the most
is that I couldn't stop.
I don't know, in that moment,
something just came over me
and it was like I couldn't control myself.
Like the powers just took over
and I didn't have any choice in it.
(somber music)
And that fucking terrifies me.
- Yeah, I get it. It happens.
I don't know, maybe if it
were like ancient times,
when there were shamans and druids,
and the old books hadn't been burned up
by fanatics and inquisitions,
people like us were
trained to use our gifts,
but we're on our own now.
We're all still in hiding.
Still afraid to show ourselves,
as if the witch hunters are still onto us.
- They are. They've just
changed their names.
(Gen sighs)
(somber music)
Anyways.
I bumped into someone
that I knew before we met.
- Oh?
- And we, um,
we kind of-
- Fucked?
- Yeah.
I'm sorry.
- (laughs) You dufus.
- I'm sorry.
- You thought I'd be jealous.
- Well, yeah. A little.
You're not?
- Anything that happened
before doesn't matter.
- It doesn't?
- Only now matters.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
Wait. (chuckles)
- What?
- Is he hotter than me?
- Of course not. No one's hotter than you.
- Okay, clearly you're not
watching enough movies.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
(Gen sighs)
I'm not gonna get jealous.
How could I? We're not like normals.
- I guess.
- Don't guess anything. Know it.
- Well, I kinda invited him
out with us this weekend.
- Oh yeah?
- I don't know,
I just felt bad.
- The old let's be friends, impulse, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- Been there.
Don't worry though. That's okay.
I mean, if he's cool coming out with you
and it's not gonna be all
awkward or anything like that.
Hell, if he's hot,
he'll make us look good.
And if he's not, he'll
make us look better.
- His band's playing this weekend.
- He's in a band?
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, fuck, now I am jealous.
- Mm.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
(Gen chuckles)
(slow dramatic rock music)
(slow dramatic rock music continues)
(gentle dramatic music)
(gentle dramatic music continues)
- Wait, that's Danny?
- Mm-hmm.
- I know him.
- From where?
- [Gen] He came in for a tat.
- When?
- Last week.
(Gen and Anna laugh)
- Fuck!
(crowd chattering)
Hey, Danny.
- Hey!
Thank you for coming.
- You know Gen. (chuckles)
(Gen laughs)
- Hey. Hey!
- Hey, you. Are you
taking care of my baby?
- (chuckles) I think, uh, I
think it's looking after me.
- Let me see.
- Oh, nice. That's really cool.
You, uh, finally got your ouroboros.
- I did, yeah.
- Um, this is Helly, sorry.
(Gen laughs)
- Helen, but everyone calls me Helly.
- That's 'cause Helen's a boomer name.
- Okay, I'm thinking
of legally changing it
to Helly Skelly.
- Oh, that's cool. I like that.
- Thought of Helter Skelter,
but she sounds a bit too German.
- Mm.
(Danny laughs)
Okay, since none of you rude fuckers
are gonna introduce me.
I'm Jade.
- Your music's really bad. I love it.
- (laughs) Thank you.
We don't try at all, so.
- Yeah.
- So why that tat anyway?
- I don't know. I kind of just liked it.
It makes sense, you know? Like an arrow?
- Huh?
- Like,
not like a bow and arrow, but like, um,
like a symbol, you know?
- He means, like,
if you're from an undiscovered tribe
on an island in the middle of the ocean
and you see an arrow, you
go, "Oh, that way, right?"
- Bang, that! Exactly that.
- I don't know, it kind of just looks like
a snake sucking itself off to me.
- [Danny] (laughs) Maybe.
- Helly, you have the
mind of a teenage boy.
- I actually dreamt
that particular design.
It freaked me right out, so I'm kinda glad
to have it outta my system, you know?
- Ooh, physician heal thyself.
(crowd chattering)
(bottle clinks and thuds)
- Hey, um, my uncle owns this bar,
so how about a round on the house?
- Thanks.
(crowd chattering)
- Where did you pick up this one, Anna?
(Jade laughs)
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
(gentle suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- Hey.
- Hi.
- May I?
- Yeah.
(gentle suspenseful music)
(eerie suspenseful music)
- [Anna] Are you okay?
- Mm? Yeah.
- What's wrong?
- I just, I felt something.
(suspenseful music)
Is everyone okay?
- Yeah, I think so. Why?
- It's nothing. I just need a drink.
(woman giggling)
(door rattles and creaks)
(suspenseful music)
(door thuds)
(slow dramatic music)
(door rattles and creaks)
- What the fuck?
Do you just wait outside
for someone to walk past?
- That means fuck off back into
your apartment, sweetheart.
(slow dramatic music)
- [Danny] All right, fuck this shit.
(door thuds)
(slow dramatic music)
- [Bling-Bling] Are you proud of that?
Fuck!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic slow upbeat music)
(dramatic slow upbeat music continues)
(slow dramatic music)
- Wait, uh. Is your sis here?
- [Anna] No. So you can scream
as much as you want, okay?
(slow dramatic music)
(vocalist exclaiming)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny groaning)
- Always banging about. Disgusting sluts!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(slow dramatic music)
(Anna speaks faintly)
(slow dramatic music continues)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(woman groans)
(slow dramatic music)
You whores! (gasps)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(woman moaning)
(slow dramatic music)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny hissing)
(woman giggles)
(slow dramatic music)
(Anna moaning)
- You have to show me how to do this.
- [Gen] No, you bitch gonna do
it to yourself night and day.
(dramatic upbeat music)
(intensifying dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny panting)
(intensifying dramatic
upbeat music continues)
(slow eerie suspenseful music)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(woman thuds)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(eerie suspenseful music)
(slow eerie suspenseful music)
(Bling-Bling gasps)
(Bling-Bling moaning and yelling)
(Danny speaking indistinctly)
(intensifying dramatic music)
(beads clattering)
(intensifying dramatic music continues)
- (panting) I hate the taste of old maid.
So bitter.
(suspenseful music)
(Danny panting)
(slow dramatic music)
(somber music)
(upbeat music)
(plastic rustling)
- I wouldn't worry about it too much.
- I can't.
I hate when it's not
in alphabetical order,
and then you have to go through
it all and it takes forever.
- They're gonna do it anyway.
- I guess.
(sighs) I didn't even know you
could get newspapers anymore.
- There's something outta
the "Twilight Zone."
- [Anna] What?
- Five people found
sitting or wandering around
like oldies with dementia or something.
- Like brain-dead?
- I don't know.
But yeah, just sort of, yeah, blank, gone.
Kids too. Well, your age, or thereabouts.
- What happened?
- Well, no one knows.
The, the, the first one
they found was 20 years old.
Found her wandering around.
Like her personality had been sucked out.
(soft suspenseful music)
(dog barking)
(tense music)
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
- Do you feel okay?
- (inhaling) Yeah, I mean,
I'm not sick or whatever,
but something's wrong.
I don't know what it
is, but I can feel it.
Don't you feel anything?
- Only you.
Like there's, I don't know.
You're blocking me. Is it about us?
- What? No. (gasps)
(lips smack)
You don't have to worry about that.
And I'm not blocking you either.
At least I don't think I am.
(somber music)
- Do you think what you're feeling
has something to do with those people
they've been finding around town?
- Hmm?
- Like what I did to that guy?
- What?
(somber music)
What the fuck? (sighs)
- You think it has
something to do with that?
- Maybe? Yeah, I think so.
There's something very
fucking weird going on.
- What kinda weird?
- Our kind of weird.
(woman screaming)
- That was. Come on.
(suspenseful music)
What happened?
- I don't know, when I
walked past and I, I smelt.
(tense music)
(crowd chattering)
(glass clinking)
- Thanks.
- Today I brought some magic potion.
- I think I'm gonna take it easy tonight.
- Um, has Gen been birth
placed by a changeling?
- I just need my brain working properly,
you know, for my work.
- You okay?
- Yeah. I've been overdoing it lately.
- Hey, I think I'm gonna
take a rain-check as well.
- Bummer.
- Maybe you should too.
I mean, Jade's not going to, so.
- Fine, fine. Next time.
- Hey, um, what's up with Sexy?
- [Anna] Who?
- Danny.
- He's here?
- You didn't bring him?
- No.
Where is he?
- I saw him over there before.
Looked like he was looking for someone.
- (gasps) He's totally looking for me.
- (laughs) Helly and
Danny sitting in a tree.
- F-U-C-K-R-N-D.
(Gen imitating gagging)
What? I called dibs anyway.
- Too late.
- What? You?
- You told?
- I didn't say anything.
- [Jade] It was pretty obvious.
- How?
- The way you make an effort
to not look at him, to avoid eye contact.
Or the way he looks at you
when he thinks no one
else is looking at him.
It's pretty awkward.
- I'm so not jealous.
- It's okay, Helly, it was
just a one-night stand.
He's all yours.
- How could you stand just one night?
(crowd chattering)
Oh, right.
The whirlwind love
story you two got going.
It's disgusting. Really.
- Oh, there he is.
- (gasps) Okay, well, now I know
one of us got on top of him,
I have to have a chance.
I'm going for it.
How do I look?
- Like Helly.
- Jesus Christ, Jade, your Dad jokes
are worse than my dad's Dad jokes.
- You look hot. You should go for it.
- Thank you.
- Wait.
- What?
What if you jinxed me and
he misses out on this?
(Helly speaks Italian)
- Right. Go get him, Tiger.
- Here. May Danny die and go to Helly.
(bottles clinking)
(upbeat music)
(group chattering)
(upbeat music continues)
(muffled upbeat music)
(Helly moaning)
(upbeat music)
- Have you seen Helly?
- Hm? No.
- I have a weird feeling.
- You feel it? You think maybe?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Um.
(upbeat music)
Uh, we should look for her.
Maybe I'll just go look
outside, look for her there.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(staccato percussion music)
(upbeat music)
(Danny panting)
(Helly panting)
(percussive upbeat music)
(Danny and Helly panting)
(muffled upbeat music)
- Hey, did you come?
(upbeat music)
(phone line ringing)
(phone ringing)
(phone clatters)
What the fuck?
(muffled upbeat music)
No! Please, no! (sobbing)
Please, please, no! (gasping)
(intense dramatic music)
(Danny groans)
- [Danny] Akila is alive.
(suspenseful music)
Overthrown and rotten to the bone
Watch us fall away
(dramatic music)
So long you faked it
And now you're dancing naked
(dramatic music)
Like a fool in the rain
(slow dramatic music)
You keep looking for
those dreams you had
And all you find
- [Doctor] Did she accept
any drinks from anyone?
- [Anna] I- I don't know.
We weren't with her.
- [Doctor] I know you
might wanna protect her,
but I need to know if she might
have taken anything herself.
- [Gen] She had some acid with her,
but she didn't take any.
- [Doctor] You're sure?
A bad trip can do things
very much like this.
And you say she didn't drink much?
- [Gen] No. She'd only had one drink.
- [Doctor] I know this
is freaking you all out,
but I need to know everything.
- [Jade] Is she gonna be okay?
- [Doctor] To be honest, I don't know.
Uh, she seems to be exhibiting
some kind of catatonia.
Uh, but once the blood's
come back, we'll know
what kind of substance
might have caused it.
Right now the best thing you can do
is tell me everything you know
about what might have happened to her.
We are just blind
(solemn music)
- Something must have
used the tattoo somehow.
- How? I'm not summoning
demons in my spare time.
Are you?
- Can we even summon demons?
- (scoffs) I don't know.
I didn't even think they existed.
I'm still not sure that's
what's happening here.
- So this symbol, the tattoo,
must summon something,
and somehow you drew it just right.
Like, um, like an intonation thing.
- Maybe.
I don't know if it works like that though.
There are no demons or angels or gods.
There's only us. That much I know.
Or I feel, at least.
You know it too.
If anything like that
were real, we'd feel it.
- Isn't that what's happening now?
I mean, I guess we don't know, do we?
(Gen sighs)
Like you said,
all the old books and knowledge are gone.
- We don't need stupid old books.
We probably never did.
All I know, I- I learned from intuition.
(somber music)
Imagine life is like a video game,
but we're not just players.
We can hack the game,
fuck around with the code,
or whatever they call it.
(somber music)
But hackers can screw up a game, right?
They can make it do weird things.
Glitch up and make new things.
- (sighs) It's a weird analogy.
- You got a better one?
- No.
(somber music)
What if this is all our fault?
Like our fucking with the game
or whatever made this thing.
(somber music)
- What if it's just me?
What if I somehow took some
horrible hidden part of myself,
put it in that tattoo and then...
- I don't believe that.
There can't be something like that in you.
- How do you know?
Do you really know me?
Do you really know anyone?
(Gen sighs)
I feel like this thing
has been inside of me my whole life,
getting darker and
heavier, as I grew older.
The more I knew I didn't belong,
knew I was different.
(suspenseful music)
Every relationship I've been in,
family, friends, lovers, whatever,
I've fucked up 'cause I've gone
and done something stupid or horrible,
or destructive.
And I really thought that
because you were the one from my dreams
that I wouldn't be able to hurt you,
like I had the others,
or like you'd been hurt before.
But I finally found love,
real love, and something horrible
inside of me starts to starve.
So it jumps ship, finds
its way out through my art,
through a powerful symbol,
like some old forgotten spell or curse.
(somber music)
So we can hurt you. So I can hurt you.
(somber music)
- You beautiful idiot.
You haven't hurt me.
And if this thing in Danny does hurt me,
it wouldn't be you hurting me.
There has to be a way to
reverse what happened.
Some sort of spell or something.
If it's like a video game,
we can fix it, right?
- I only know of one way.
I read it in a book when I was a kid.
A blood sacrifice reverses the curse.
Restores balance.
- Like with an animal?
- [Gen] Not an animal.
- A human.
You mean, like, kill Danny.
We can't do that.
None of this is his fault.
(somber music)
- Yeah, you're, you're right.
(Gen sighs)
Mm? I'm so tired.
We'll figure it out. Let's just sleep.
(somber music)
(lips smack)
- Okay.
I love you.
You know that, right?
- You know I know.
(solemn music)
(solemn music continues)
(slow suspenseful music)
(solemn music)
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, (screams)
she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's

I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
- No, no, no. Don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't, don't.
- [Gen] She's always in me.
I see no evil.
I have no body, my spirit's
covered, she's always in me.
She's always in me, she's always
in me, she's always in me.
She's always in me.
(Danny screaming)
(Gen panting)
(suspenseful music)
(Danny screaming)
(Gen panting)
(Gen screaming)
(suspenseful music)
Help me! (sobbing)
(Gen screaming and sobbing)
(Gen panting)
(Danny panting)
(somber music)
It was the only way.
You shouldn't have stopped me.
(somber music)
- There's no universe in which
I wouldn't have stopped you.
- I guess.
(somber music)
- Don't guess. Know.
(somber music)
- We can't stop him now.
- We can.
You said so yourself.
There's been so much we've
lost over the centuries.
So much knowledge, books and spells,
ways of channeling our abilities.
But this thing was created
without any of that.
So it can be dealt with without it.
Whatever it is.
However it got in your tattoo.
It's there now, on Danny,
so we know where it is.
- Maybe. He lives in your
apartment building, right?
- [Anna] Yeah. So maybe
we should stay here.
Be safer. He's never been here.
- No. We should go there.
We should watch him. Follow him even.
Besides, we're not normal
like Helly or the others.
I don't think he can hurt us.
- Are you sure?
- [Gen] No, but we have other
ways of protecting ourselves
that the rest don't.
We can try to stop him
from hurting the others
by staying close to him too.
Close to it.
- But how?
(somber music)
I'm gonna have to bandage that up again
before it gets infected. (sighs)
(somber music)
I have an idea.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey!
- Jesus!
- Oh, this? Uh, accident at work.
Happens with needles and stuff.
I'll get a permanent
squiggle tat out of it,
and I can just tell people it's Celtic.
- Hmm.
- Sorry, we're gonna be late.
We gotta go. We're just
grabbing some stuff.
- Shit, right. Family thing. (chuckles)
- Have fun with that.
(bat clangs)
- What do you think?
- Nice.
(knife clatters)
- Okay, you win.
- Stole this from my dad
before I came out to the city.
Fuckin' loser likes hunting.
- Just don't invite me
to any family events.
- Cross my heart.
(footsteps tapping)
- What's with the bat?
(door rattles and thuds)
Bye.
- (sighs) It still stinks in here.
- It really does.
- If Danny doesn't come
soon I'm gonna die in here.
- You can't die from a smell.
- Sure you can.
(door thuds)
(footsteps tapping)
You can hear everything.
No wonder the old lady was obsessed.
Must have driven her crazy.
- [Anna] It's not him.
- Thank fuck.
Still have no idea what we're
gonna do when he does come.
- (sighs) Use our intuition, I guess.
- Shit plan.
We should have brought donuts.
They have donuts on stakeouts in movies.
- Why'd you have to say that?
- [Annabel] Well, anyway, he-
- [Andrew] Go on. Then what?
- [Annabel] Well, here he
tells about the snake bite.
- Whoops.
- And the drug
that's used for his antidote.
- [Andrew] Mademoiselle,
the fire of the sunset
in your eyes is consuming my heart.
- [Annabel] Lieutenant, are
you making advances toward me?
- [Andrew] I love you, Annabel.
- (gasps) Drink responsibly.
(fist banging)
- Andrew, please.
- Jesus.
- [Annabel] I told you.
Lips that have touched
alcohol shall never-
- [Dakota] What is it now?
(soft suspenseful music)
(object thuds and clatters)
- Oh fuck!
- What?
(tense dramatic music)
Dakota?
(bat clatters)
Hey! Hey, hey, wake up.
- Fucking cunt!
- Dakota, wake up!
- He knows we're onto him.
- How?
- It knows.
It's a part of me.
And it's fucking with us now.
- Dakota?
- I should've known.
- Stop it!
- It's my fault.
- Stop.
- It's my fault.
- Stop.
- It's my fault.
- Don't start that shit.
- [Gen] I should've known. It's my fault.
- Dakota, wake up. (panting) Wake up.
I don't know what to do.
(somber music)
I don't know what to do!
(panting) We have to find him now.
- He could have-
- We have to find him now.
We didn't see anyone leave!
- Right. Okay, well, where
could he have gone then?
(suspenseful music)
- Come on.
(somber suspenseful music)
(wind whooshing)
(car horn honking)
- Hey!
(suspenseful music)
What are you doing?
Wait!
(suspenseful music)
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
- I'm sorry, Danny.
I don't know if you're you
right now, or the tattoo,
but I knew some part of
you would come up here.
- What the fuck are you talking about?
- Danny, I need you to sit
down and be calm, okay?
- I'm calm. I'm calm.
I'm calm, Anna.
(suspenseful music)
You think I'm bad?
You should see the
things I see inside her.
- I'm shaking in my boots.
- You should be! (exclaims)
(dramatic music)
(knife whizzes)
(fist thuds)
(Danny grunts)
(Gen thuds)
(suspenseful music)
Danny loves you.
I can feel him on the inside
crying like a little bitch
begging me not to kill you.
Pathetic!
(dramatic music)
Let's go, Anna.
He'd kill for you.
- I don't want to, but I will.
(somber music)
(somber music continues)
- Poor Danny knows everything that I know.
He knows you don't love him.
He knows you don't care about him.
- I do care about him.
- Lies make baby Jesus cry.
You know what I like to do, Anna?
I like to play him the memory
of you two fucking over and over again.
Just to taste his pain.
- Go fuck yourself.
(suspenseful music)
(bones creaking)
(dramatic music)
- You're killing him,
Anna, you heartless cunt!
- So leave him then.
- No, you are killing him. Let us go.
Trust me, you're part of him.
(suspenseful music)
- Get out. Or you die with him.
(Danny grunting)
(Danny thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- You are not going anywhere.
You're mine and I'm taking you back.
(Danny screaming)
(flesh squelching)
- [Danny] You pathetic,
fragile, self-abusing bitch!
- I don't want you back either,
but what's mine is mine.
And I want you to stay inside
of this pathetic, fragile,
self-abusing bitch and starve!
(intense suspenseful music)
(soft suspenseful music)
Welcome home, bitch.
(flesh squelching)
(tense music)
(Dakota gasping)
(Dakota panting)
(tense music continues)
- What the fuck?
(somber music)
- You know what?
- What?
- I think I gotta quit doing tattoos.
(somber music)
(tense music)
- That's a good idea.
(soft somber music)
- What do you remember?
(soft somber music)
- Everything.
(solemn music)
(somber music)
(somber music continues)
(somber music continues)
Even if I imagine
You're burning like a dragon
(gentle upbeat music)
I got to get to the source
Fall
- [Anna] I missed having
a proper bed. (chuckles)
- [Gen] Me too.
I like how it squeaks when we stop.
(Gen and Anna giggle)
But me too.
(gentle upbeat music)
Heard from Danny?
- No, not for ages.
I guess he's out seeing the world.
- Sowing his oats.
- I mean, his whole perspective
of the world has changed now.
He's probably out trying
to outrun his fears.
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
Fall
- He'll be okay. Chicks dig scars.
- Yeah.
- He's tough. I can feel it.
And I bet the world is a
whole lot more interesting
to him now.
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
- Gen?
- Hm?
- What if that thing was right?
What if something really terrible
comes out of me next time?
- Then we'll deal with it together.
A little out of control
(insects chirping)
- Our life is so fucking weird.
- [Gen] Great, isn't it?
(insects chirping)
(gentle upbeat music)
If the wind is still and blue
And the sky falls on you
Close your eyes and fly
High above the velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
If your wings fall out of you
And the earth comes close to you
Take my hand and walk with me
Under the velvet moon
Lazy
Drifting into you
Crazy, do anything
For you
While the stars
Are singing too
Dive into the velvet moon
Lazy
Drifting into you
Crazy, do anything
For you
While the stars
Are singing too
Dive into the velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
And be to me an ocean
And be
(gentle upbeat music continues)
And be to me an ocean
Be
And be to me an ocean
Ooh, you are my
One and only
Velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
(static crackling and hissing)
(soft foreboding music)
(static clicks)
(soft ominous music)
(ominous music)
- [Jim] I don't wanna hear
about her fucking father.
He let your kids run fucking wild.
If he had some discipline,
he would have put them in their place.
She's gonna end up in a loony
bin, the way she's going.
- [Mom] She's not crazy,
she's just having a hard time.
- [Jim] Because she's fucking lazy.
I had two jobs when I was her age, okay?
- [Mom] So did I, Jim, but
things are different now.
- [Jim] Yeah, things
are fucking different.
Kids are fucking lazy and self-obsessed.
- [Mom] She's not a kid and
she's not self-obsessed,
and she's not lazy.
(Anna gasps)
(energetic dramatic music)
(Anna panting)
I'm in a desperate state
I have a honey, she can't wait
I wanna bless her
With her dish of choice
Hmm, can't wait
(electronic dramatic music)
(text crackling)
I'm in a desperate state
Shock (indistinct) right, I'd say
My body's ready to take
So what do you have for me
Give it to me straight
I'll meet you half-way
My real chubby cheek can't wait
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
(train whooshing)
(music drowns out vocalist)
Bet you can't wait
(electronic dramatic music)
She can't be good
Her dish of her choice
She can't wait
(vocalist singing indistinctly)
Can't wait
(warbling electronic dramatic music)
What is it
I'm in a real bad way
I can tell you she can't wait
I wanna bless her
With her dish of her choice
Means you can't wait
(soft slow upbeat music)
- Anna! Hey.
Hey. Uh, butt it out,
no smoking in the beast.
Hands on my face
I'm gonna move past
Your crazy blue ways
- You're seriously keeping it.
- Yeah. You know how expensive
darts are these days?
- Actually, no. Not for
about three years now.
- Traitor.
A story, write this confession
Hi.
- (chuckles) Hi.
So.
- So, what?
- So you finally escaped.
- I did.
- Were you like run out
of town by an angry mob
with torches? (chuckles)
Whatever.
Things will look up
now that you're outta that shithole town.
- Sure.
- Well, you're welcome
to stay with me as long as you need to.
- [Anna] Thanks, Dakota.
- [Dakota] So you're gonna
study archeology, huh?
- Yeah.
- Follow in the old man's footsteps?
There's good buck in that biz.
- Fortune and glory,
kid. Fortune and glory.
- [Dakota] Ah-huh.
- Ah, "Temple of Doom."
- Oh, right. Wow, you
found Dad's old rucksack.
- Well.
- God, that shitty old rucksack's
been all over the world.
I think I've got a photo of Dad wearing it
in Tibet with some monks.
Wait, is that all you brought?
You seriously take after Dad.
- Is that like an insult?
- No. It's like a half
insult, half compliment.
- Well, I'll take what I can get.
- What are you thinking on the work front?
- I've applied to a few places,
but I haven't really
heard anything back, so.
- I can put some feelers out too.
(Anna groans)
What?
- I don't know,
I was just imagining,
like, feelers growing out of your head.
- Yeah, it's a figure of
speech, Anna. (chuckles)
(soft upbeat music)
The black nights and the water
- You know, I'm really glad
you're here. Fresh start.
(traffic whooshing)
(birds chirping)
This is it. We call the
place the Bates Motel.
- I see it. I love this place.
(gentle dramatic music)
- I knew you would.
(soft gentle dramatic music)
Hey, Danny.
- Hey.
- Ah, this is my little sister.
- Hey.
- Okay.
- There goes the building's only hottie.
(Anna whispers)
Of course.
(birds chirping)
(soft dramatic music)
(slow dramatic music)
(switch clicks)
(soft dramatic music)
- [Anna] This is exactly
how I imagined your place.
- Living the dream.
- How's the rent?
- Uh, it's not great.
I mean, it's gotten worse,
which is why it'll be great
the sooner you get a job.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I got that way before he
went full boomer on us.
- We'll always have
"Teenage Frankenstein."
- So the spare room's
first door on the left.
I'm sorry, it's not like
a proper bed or anything.
My housemate took
everything when she left,
even though I'm certain the
bed was there before she was.
- It's cool. I don't really need much.
- [Dakota] Uh, my friend's
band is playing tonight.
Do you wanna come?
- Um, no, thanks.
- You don't wanna meet my loser friends?
I promise, my taste has gotten way better
since we were kids.
- No, I, I love losers, I'm just tired.
I wanna relax.
- No worries. I better get ready.
Truth be told, I might have a slight crush
on Ted, the drummer.
- The drummer? That's rough.
- Maybe I like it like that.
- Ah! Too much information.
- [Dakota] You started it.
Uh, there's a few of us
are gonna go downtown
and get some food beforehand
at this little Thai place,
if you wanna come and grab a bite to eat.
- Um, no, I think I'll
just grab a slice of pizza,
or something.
- [Dakota] Okay, just
don't go to the place
on the corner, Fratelli's.
It's fucking terrible.
They're stingy on the cheese
and the bread is so thick.
- Got it. (scoffs)
(soft slow upbeat music)
(air whooshing)
(metal clanging)
(suspenseful music)
(metal clinking)
(man screaming)
(screen crashing)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(woman screaming)
(Anna panting)
(dramatic music)
(eerie dramatic music)
- Anna, are you okay?
- Yeah, I just had a, a
little microsleep, I- I think.
And a, a nightmare.
- Daymares, Dad called them.
You haven't changed a bit.
- You have no idea.
(insects chirping)
(dog barking)
(sirens wailing)
(dog barking)
(door rattles)
- [Danny] Oh, shit, sorry.
I didn't expect anyone else up here.
- It's okay.
- Do you mind if I?
(Danny groans and sighs)
(car horns honking)
You new to the hub?
- [Anna] Yeah, I, uh, just
moved in with my sister
for a bit.
- Oh yeah, that's right.
She, she mentioned you.
(Danny clears throat)
- What did she say about me?
- [Danny] Nothing. Just, you
know, just you were staying.
She seemed pretty excited about it.
Shit.
(traffic droning)
- Are you guys friends?
- Um, not really. Oh, well, kind of.
I don't know. You know, neighbors.
We catch each other in,
like, the laundry and shit.
(Danny chuckles)
So do you like the city?
- Uh, it has a unique aroma.
- Yeah, it's the, um,
it's the carbon monoxide,
the dirty dumpsters, sewerage system
that doesn't quite work.
You get used to it.
- I doubt it.
(Danny chuckles)
- Uh, I like the, um,
ouroboros on your backpack.
The snake thing. I've
always loved that symbol.
- It was my dad's. He got it
somewhere in Europe, I think.
- [Danny] Mm.
- He was an archeologist,
so he was always bringing
home weird little things.
And I don't know.
To be honest, I feel like he
probably stole a lot of them.
(Danny laughs)
- My dad has a pizza joint down the road.
All he ever brought home
was, like, cold pizza
and stiff garlic bread.
- Fratelli's?
- Yes, it's shit.
Don't go.
- I've heard that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
It's nice to have you here.
In the building, I mean. (chuckles)
You know, it's like
mostly weird old timers
or divorced boomers or creepy single guys.
- So are you one of
the creepy single guys?
(insects chirping)
(suspenseful music)
(door creaking)
(dramatic music)
(door thuds)
Drift and sway
Drift and sway
I wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
- Wait, um.
- [Danny] Too fast?
- No. It's just that, um.
(upbeat music)
I'm trans.
- Oh, that's fine.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's fine.
Drift and sway
(upbeat music)
I wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
I want to taste thy love
I will drain all your blood
I'm wanna rip you into pieces
Little tiny pieces
(upbeat music)
It's the feeling I love
(Anna moaning)
It's the feeling I love
It's the feeling I love
(Anna panting)
The feeling I love
It's the feeling I love
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(Anna moaning)
(bright music)
(woman sighs)
(woman panting)
- You better be real.
(birds chirping)
(traffic whooshing)
- (slurps) You're so grounded.
- [Anna] Fine. I ruined my life.
- Coffee?
- Uh, yeah.
- I thought you were too tired to go out.
- I, um.
- [Dakota] Still three sugars?
- Mm-hmm.
- You're gonna be diabetic
by 40.
Just so you know,
the apartment below Danny's is occupied
by this weird old spinster lady.
Old lady Bling-Bling, named so
because she jangles with
jewelry as she walks.
She's the building's gossip.
- Okay. (chuckles)
- [Dakota] Don't be shy. Well done.
- Thanks. I guess.
- Danny's nice. A little weird.
- Good weird or bad weird?
- I'd say you weird.
You know, shy, smart, aloof,
and a little mysterious.
I feel like his eyes remind
me of something though.
It's like he just looks
through you. Kinda like you do.
Well, I better get ready for work.
What are you doing today?
- Avoiding the neighbors, I guess.
- [Dakota] (laughs) Well, I work downtown
if you want a lift.
- Yeah.
- Great.
Maybe you can look for a job?
- Okay.
(soft solemn music)
(bells tolling)
(traffic whooshing)
(sirens wailing)
(solemn music)
(workers yelling)
(object thuds)
(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)

(solemn music continues)
(solemn music continues)
(traffic whooshing)
(solemn music continues)
(doorbell ringing)
(door clattering)
(door thuds)
- Hey, you after something?
- No.
Or, well, I- I love this
place. It's so cool.
- Yeah.
- Uh, and I saw the sign
out front about, about the job.
- Yeah? Um, okay.
Um, have you got a resume or?
- No.
- Right, um, well, have you
worked in a shop before?
- Mm, not like this,
but I did, um, work in a service station
back home for a bit.
- Well, great, well, um,
can you hang around now
for, like, a trial, today?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well, let me show you the ropes.
Oh, and I'm, uh, Barry,
but folks call me Buz.
- I'm Anna.
- Anna. Anna, good, right.
- Buz.
(Buz chuckles)
(upbeat music)
I can't explain, it's not the same
An old image, a new frame
The rabbit hole is only half
It's not a joke, but I still laugh
(bright upbeat music)
We're watching a dream surround us
The dream begins forever
(bright music)
Oh no, walking in your sleep
To the edges of the cloud
Beyond the end of time
There's a new dream
(gentle bright music)
(screen whooshes)
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music continues)
- Now, you fill this, now!
- It's cool, man, you got it, you got it.
Okay, okay! You got it, okay!
- Fill it up, hurry up, or I
swear I'll fuckin' bleed ya!
- You got your, it's cool.
You got it, okay?
- Hurry up!
- [Buz] You got it.
- You got a cellphone?
- [Buz] I don't have a cellphone, okay?
I don't have a phone.
- Is this it? You got a safe?
- It's down the back.
- Hey, you old cunt, fuckin' don't move.
You think I'm stupid? You're
gonna call the fuckin' cops.
- Okay. Phone's just there, mate, okay?
Phone's just there. We good?
- Yeah, all right, all right. Hurry up.
(dramatic music)
(soft suspenseful music)
- Get out.
- (panting) What the fuck do you want?
(suspenseful music)
- Get out.
(dramatic music)
(Switch gasping)
(Switch groaning)
(flesh squelching)
(dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(Switch screaming)
(Switch gasping)
(Switch groaning)
(suspenseful music)
(Anna thuds)
(soft upbeat rock music)
This is sure to help those
- [Buz] Where'd he go?
- Uh.
- Jesus. Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm, I'm okay.
I just hit my head.
- Do you need a hospital?
- No, I'm okay.
Really. I think it's j- just the shock.
I'm having such a darn good time
- Why'd he leave?
- I don't know.
Sometimes you just have to
stand up to shitheads, I guess.
- Yeah. Far out. (gasps)
Um, oh, here, hey.
For today. Um, I'm, I'm really sorry.
And I'm, I'm guessing you
don't want the job, so,
a- and which I- I
totally understand, yeah?
- What time do we open tomorrow?
- Really? (chuckles)
- [Anna] Yeah.
- Um, uh, 11:00, I like to sleep in.
- Okay. (chuckles) Cool.
(vocalist singing faintly)
Does this place get robbed often?
- N- no, first time on my watch,
would you believe?
- Mm.
- I don't know if you're
a jinx or a lucky charm.
- Mm, probably both.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, the happy times have changed
- Do you have a first aid kit?
- Yes, first aid kit,
yeah. I'll, I'll be back.
Hold on.
(traffic droning)
(sirens wailing)
(car engine rumbling)
(sirens wailing)
- What happened?
- I'm fine.
- Did someone?
- I, no, it was nothing
like that. I'm fine.
- How did you?
- Someone came through
the door too quickly
and I hit my head.
I'm good though. I'm fine.
Okay? Best first day of work ever.
- You might have a concussion.
- I really don't think I do. I'm fine.
I swear.
- It's a cool shop,
but Jesus, Anna, this is
like the worst part of town.
- Is it?
(traffic whooshing)
I think I can take care of myself.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Come on.
(eerie dramatic music)
- How's the war wound
today? Still hurtin'?
- Um, it's okay.
I've had worse before, so.
- Okay, well, I'm just
gonna be out the back.
Give us a yell if you need anything.
(doorbell ringing)
A little out of control
Broken up in little pieces
Another crooked number
That's all outta control
I've had a million souls
Even more if I imagine
- (sighs) This is gonna
sound way fucking forward,
but can you take a break?
(soft slow upbeat music)
- I can in like 20 minutes.
- Okay. I'll wait.
Like a tear from the sky
- Who was that?
- Oh, um, I don't know.
(slow upbeat music)
Oh
(birds chirping)
(bell ringing)
(traffic whooshing)
- [Woman] I saw what you did yesterday.
- What did I do?
- That piece of shit that
tried to rob the shop,
you popped him.
- I popped him?
- You did. Not too hard, but you did.
You coulda killed him if
you'd done it much harder.
- I don't really know what I did.
- It's a defense you build up.
Almost automatic, but
you gotta be careful.
You kinda stick your
fingers into the brain
and poke the little neurons
and all that shit into
a rush of fear and pain.
It's called popping, 'cause it's a bit
like popping bubble wrap.
But like I said, if you pop it too much,
the fucker might run out of
bubbles and go brain-dead.
Literally die and tear.
- Jesus.
- Don't worry.
I have a feeling you can control yourself.
You've been controlling
yourself for a while, I bet.
- I have.
Or I guess, I- I don't know.
- I can help you.
What else can you do?
Come on, you can tell me.
We're the same. I know you can feel that.
- I can feel it.
- [Woman] So?
- Well,
sometimes I can see
things before they happen.
Sometimes it's like a vision.
Other times it's like climbing a tree
and looking up at the branches.
- Yeah, same. It's hard though.
The trees can get pretty thick,
so fuck knows which
branch is the right one.
- Other times I can feel
what other people feel,
but I try to block it
because it hurts too much.
- Shit, I can't do that.
I wish I could do that.
That's amazing.
I've always felt so disconnected.
- It doesn't help with that.
- Yeah, I guess. I can't
pop people for shit either.
Well, not very well.
I can spook people pretty good.
Jedi-mind-trick them into fucking off,
but nothing like you did.
That guy was bleeding
from the fucking eyes.
It was so slay. What else?
- I don't really know anything else.
All I know is that
strange things happened,
but I don't know how they
happened or I don't understand it.
All I know is that I did it.
Even though I'm flying outta town
- Dogs hate me and cats love me.
- (chuckles) Witchy.
- [Anna] I'm not a witch.
- It's what we used to be called anyways.
- Like spells.
- Spells were just a way
for us to channel our abilities.
It's more like that old show "Bewitched,"
but we don't have to wiggle our nose.
From the sky
- But I'll teach you
about what we were and what we are,
and you can teach me.
I knew you'd come here.
I knew it would be in the city.
I came here looking for you.
I even knew I'd find you around Halloween,
but I never knew you'd be so beautiful.
- That's not true.
- [Woman] Yes, it is.
Stop blocking me and feel it if it's true.
A little out of control
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
Fall
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
A little out of control
- You wanna get high?
- Yeah.
(soft upbeat music)
- [Bouncer] You again.
- Hey, cutie.
- You're lucky you're
not on the banned list.
- Who? Me?
- That boy ended up in the hospital,
broken nose and collarbone.
- He had it coming.
- He did, but if anyone's gonna
beat the shit outta someone
in this club, it's gonna be me.
Who's this?
- New patron. She's cool.
(traffic droning)
- Go on in. And stay outta trouble.
Or I'll throw you out the window.
- You wouldn't do that. You're
too much of a sweetheart.
- Watch out for this one.
She's a bad influence.
- [Woman] I'll take that as a compliment.
(energetic electronic upbeat music)
- I love this place.
- [Woman] Told you. Let's get a drink.
- [Anna] Oh, I don't have any money.
- That's okay. I'll put it on my tab.
(energetic electronic upbeat music)
(bright upbeat music)
- What's your poison?
- Surprise me.
- I'll do the same.
I'm gonna let the music take control
- All right, that'll be-
- On the house.
- On the house.
True love come to me tonight
- On your tab?
(energetic bright electronic music)
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
I never wanna let the
sun set in my soul
I'm gonna let the music take control
And maybe if I sing a magic melody
I can make true love come to me
I never wanna let the
sun set in my soul
I'm gonna let the music take control
And maybe if I sing a magic melody
I can make true love
come to me tonight
(energetic bright electronic music)
Come to me
Music take control
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
True love come to me
Music take control
Music take control
Mu-mu- music take control
True love
Music take control
Love
Mu- music take control
Love
(energetic bright
electronic music continues)
(Anna gasps)
- [Anna] Hey.
- Big night?
- Maybe.
(Dakota scoffs)
- You know, I almost called
the cops, I was so worried.
But then I spoke to your new boss,
who said that you left with a girl.
- I just came back for some stuff.
I'm gonna be out for most of the weekend.
- So?
- So what?
- So who's the mystery girl?
I see. Didn't take you
long to make friends.
You've changed so much, you know?
Not like that. I just mean...
I don't know, you've bloomed.
- Bloomed?
- [Dakota] Yeah, you've
like come out of your shell.
- So, am I a flower or am I a snail?
- Shut up. You know what I mean.
You're just not my baby sister anymore.
You're doing so well.
You're scoring with the building hottie.
You're spending weekends with
mystery girls you just met.
- Her name's Gen.
We've actually known
each other for a while,
but we're just now getting
to really know each other.
- Oh. Danny asked me about you.
- He did?
- [Dakota] Mm-hmm. I think he likes you.
- Hmm.
- What's, "Hmm"?
- Mm, just means he has low standards.
You should try for him.
- (scoffs) Maybe I will.
No, I'm so old, I could
be a cougar for him.
- So go for it.
(slow gentle solemn music)
- Anna.
- Mm-hmm?
- [Dakota] This, uh, Gen.
- Yeah.
- She's not,
mm, you know? (sighs)
- A drug addict? Bad influence?
No.
- You know what I mean.
- She's fine.
She's, um, arty, but safe.
- Oh, no, not arty.
- It's okay, I'm, um,
I'm not getting into trouble again.
(gentle solemn music)
- Okay.
- I'm fine.
(suspenseful music)
- I can't do it.
- Sure, you can.
Just try not to think too much.
Like, imagine the feeling of it.
- It's kinda hard to imagine a flame
coming out of my finger.
- Okay, just concentrate on the feeling
of heat flowing up your
arm from your torso
and narrow the tingly heat feeling point
right up to the tip of your finger.
(birds chirping)
(traffic droning)
- Are you trying to teach me
the trick or make me horny?
- Both. But it's not a trick.
Stop thinking trick.
We're not Penn & Teller. It's an ability.
Let the poster get under your skin too.
You gotta wanna light it up.
(gentle solemn music)
(gentle bright music)
(dramatic music)
(flame hisses)
Fuck me!
- Hey!
(Gen and Anna laugh)
- Hey!
- You're gonna pay for that.
- Get back here!
- Hey.
You're a sick fixation
You are
But I just can't seem to find
The truth behind
The lies you tell me
The lies you tell me
Broke or not, you're the perpetrator
I wanna know if I can trust you later
I wanna know if I can love you
I wanna know if I can love you
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Yeah
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
(gentle upbeat music)
I wanna know if I can love you
Nothing more than above you
Gotta know if I can trust you
To be my baby
Can you give me satisfaction
Can you give me a little action
Can you
Gotta know if I can trust you
To be my baby
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Yeah
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my
Be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, be my baby
Oh, won't you
Be my, my
Be my baby
(gentle upbeat music)
(wind whooshing)
(Anna and Gen laughing)
- Don't do that again.
- I know. I know, I can't.
I can't do that.
(woman screaming)
(suspenseful music)
- [Switch] Shut up! Shut up!
Shut up!
- Hey, let go of her.
- Mind your own fucking business!
You!
(suspenseful music)
- You're not gonna hurt anyone anymore.
- Don't look.
(soft suspenseful music)
(bones creaking)
(dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(intensifying dramatic music)
(Switch groaning)
(dramatic music)
(blood squelching)
(suspenseful music)
It's okay. You won't remember anything.
Now go. Go home.
(dramatic music)
- Holy shit.
- What did I do?
- You just wiped this shit
off the ass's world, babe.
- We have to leave.
(gentle suspenseful music)
(wind whooshing)
- I'm sorry.
Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, hi.
- Hey!
- I- I was just-
- Yeah, I know.
- Hanging out.
- I- I, um.
Yeah. How're you?
- Good.
- Yeah?
That's good.
- [Anna] I've, um.
- Um, no, you, I'll go.
- Sure.
- Um, yeah,
I (chuckles) I've just, you
know, because where, um-
- Right?
- Yeah.
- So it feels like a bit weird.
- You know, it's, we're
not saying anything
right now to each other.
- No.
- No.
- Nothing.
(Danny scoffs)
That was.
- It's just,
it's just drivel, isn't it?
- Meaningless.
- Yeah.
- It was pretty bad.
Um, I hope it doesn't feel
like I just disappeared.
- No.
- I've just been really
busy, like, settling in.
I got a job, so I've just
been like figuring that out.
- Yeah, no, you don't, you really
don't have to like,
explain, it's, it's okay.
- Sure. Yeah.
- Yeah. Um.
- Okay.
- It's been really nice seeing you.
- It's been nice seeing you too.
- Yeah, I- I gotta run.
I gotta get to work.
Um, I'm gonna be late.
- Can't be late.
- No.
My boss is a total ass-face, so.
- Aren't they all?
I know the feeling very well.
- [Danny] (chuckles) Yeah.
- A petite Napoleon.
- Yeah, like a tiny little Hitler.
- Mm. Then I guess Hitler's worse.
- Yeah. Okay, I- I do,
I have, I have to go.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- See ya. Danny, wait!
I, um, you're not gonna believe this,
but I actually made some
new friends, not just you.
(Danny scoffs)
So if you wanna hang out sometime with us.
I don't know if you're free
this weekend?
- Yeah. Yeah, cool.
Just, um, text me.
- Okay.
- Okay, I really gotta go, so.
- Right.
- Okay. Bye.
- See ya.
(door creaking)
(gentle music)
(bangles rattling)
(door clangs)
(gentle music)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(eerie suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(gentle dramatic music)
(machine whirring)
- [Gen] This is my newest design.
Do you mind if I take some
pictures when we're done?
- [Danny] Yeah, that's fine.
Um, I've always wanted a ouroboros,
I just never really found one that I like,
but um, no, I- I love this one.
- Well, thanks.
Yeah, I'm not too bashful to admit
that I'm fucking proud of this one.
(machine whirring)
(dramatic music)
(gentle suspenseful music)
- Is everything okay?
- Mm.
Yeah. Just one of those
totally random funks, you know?
- Yeah. No, wait, what?
- Lately, every once in a while, I swear
I can feel the eyes of a
tat staring back at me.
- [Danny] That's kinda creepy.
- It's like for a split second
there's life behind those
eyes and then it dies.
(machine whirring)
Don't worry. This little fang
worm ain't going nowhere.
I'm good, but I'm not that good.
(suspenseful music)
(slow dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(camera shutter clicks)
- Can I take a look?
- [Gen] No. No, man,
this camera's old school.
- Serious?
- Yeah.
Gorgeous old thing. My
girlfriend lent it to me.
Used to belong to her dad.
I kinda like having to
wait for the pictures.
- Yeah, it's kind of honest, right?
No, like face filters and shit.
- Yeah.
(phone chiming)
Do you mind if I get that?
- [Danny] Oh yeah.
- Don't touch it.
(phone continues chiming)
(air whooshing)
(soft suspenseful music)
(soft suspenseful music continues)
(Danny sighs)
(soft suspenseful music continues)
(air whooshing)
Anna? You know it wasn't
your fault, right?
That piece of shit
coulda killed that chick.
He had a knife and he threatened us.
- I know.
I just didn't mean to do that.
- [Gen] You did what you had to.
Besides, I think he got off easy.
- Yeah. Just brain-dead for life.
- Yeah, but you could have
made his head explode.
- Can we do that?
- (chuckles) I don't know.
That'd be so cool though.
Anyways, it's not your fault.
And the world doesn't
need people like that.
A hyena attacked a lion
and got gored. That's all.
(solemn music)
- (sighs) You know, the worst thing is
that I don't even really
feel bad about killing him.
After everything I went through back home,
I just really don't care.
But the thing that worries me the most
is that I couldn't stop.
I don't know, in that moment,
something just came over me
and it was like I couldn't control myself.
Like the powers just took over
and I didn't have any choice in it.
(somber music)
And that fucking terrifies me.
- Yeah, I get it. It happens.
I don't know, maybe if it
were like ancient times,
when there were shamans and druids,
and the old books hadn't been burned up
by fanatics and inquisitions,
people like us were
trained to use our gifts,
but we're on our own now.
We're all still in hiding.
Still afraid to show ourselves,
as if the witch hunters are still onto us.
- They are. They've just
changed their names.
(Gen sighs)
(somber music)
Anyways.
I bumped into someone
that I knew before we met.
- Oh?
- And we, um,
we kind of-
- Fucked?
- Yeah.
I'm sorry.
- (laughs) You dufus.
- I'm sorry.
- You thought I'd be jealous.
- Well, yeah. A little.
You're not?
- Anything that happened
before doesn't matter.
- It doesn't?
- Only now matters.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
Wait. (chuckles)
- What?
- Is he hotter than me?
- Of course not. No one's hotter than you.
- Okay, clearly you're not
watching enough movies.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
(Gen sighs)
I'm not gonna get jealous.
How could I? We're not like normals.
- I guess.
- Don't guess anything. Know it.
- Well, I kinda invited him
out with us this weekend.
- Oh yeah?
- I don't know,
I just felt bad.
- The old let's be friends, impulse, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
- Been there.
Don't worry though. That's okay.
I mean, if he's cool coming out with you
and it's not gonna be all
awkward or anything like that.
Hell, if he's hot,
he'll make us look good.
And if he's not, he'll
make us look better.
- His band's playing this weekend.
- He's in a band?
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, fuck, now I am jealous.
- Mm.
(gentle slow upbeat music)
(Gen chuckles)
(slow dramatic rock music)
(slow dramatic rock music continues)
(gentle dramatic music)
(gentle dramatic music continues)
- Wait, that's Danny?
- Mm-hmm.
- I know him.
- From where?
- [Gen] He came in for a tat.
- When?
- Last week.
(Gen and Anna laugh)
- Fuck!
(crowd chattering)
Hey, Danny.
- Hey!
Thank you for coming.
- You know Gen. (chuckles)
(Gen laughs)
- Hey. Hey!
- Hey, you. Are you
taking care of my baby?
- (chuckles) I think, uh, I
think it's looking after me.
- Let me see.
- Oh, nice. That's really cool.
You, uh, finally got your ouroboros.
- I did, yeah.
- Um, this is Helly, sorry.
(Gen laughs)
- Helen, but everyone calls me Helly.
- That's 'cause Helen's a boomer name.
- Okay, I'm thinking
of legally changing it
to Helly Skelly.
- Oh, that's cool. I like that.
- Thought of Helter Skelter,
but she sounds a bit too German.
- Mm.
(Danny laughs)
Okay, since none of you rude fuckers
are gonna introduce me.
I'm Jade.
- Your music's really bad. I love it.
- (laughs) Thank you.
We don't try at all, so.
- Yeah.
- So why that tat anyway?
- I don't know. I kind of just liked it.
It makes sense, you know? Like an arrow?
- Huh?
- Like,
not like a bow and arrow, but like, um,
like a symbol, you know?
- He means, like,
if you're from an undiscovered tribe
on an island in the middle of the ocean
and you see an arrow, you
go, "Oh, that way, right?"
- Bang, that! Exactly that.
- I don't know, it kind of just looks like
a snake sucking itself off to me.
- [Danny] (laughs) Maybe.
- Helly, you have the
mind of a teenage boy.
- I actually dreamt
that particular design.
It freaked me right out, so I'm kinda glad
to have it outta my system, you know?
- Ooh, physician heal thyself.
(crowd chattering)
(bottle clinks and thuds)
- Hey, um, my uncle owns this bar,
so how about a round on the house?
- Thanks.
(crowd chattering)
- Where did you pick up this one, Anna?
(Jade laughs)
(dramatic music)
(insects chirping)
(gentle suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music)
- Hey.
- Hi.
- May I?
- Yeah.
(gentle suspenseful music)
(eerie suspenseful music)
- [Anna] Are you okay?
- Mm? Yeah.
- What's wrong?
- I just, I felt something.
(suspenseful music)
Is everyone okay?
- Yeah, I think so. Why?
- It's nothing. I just need a drink.
(woman giggling)
(door rattles and creaks)
(suspenseful music)
(door thuds)
(slow dramatic music)
(door rattles and creaks)
- What the fuck?
Do you just wait outside
for someone to walk past?
- That means fuck off back into
your apartment, sweetheart.
(slow dramatic music)
- [Danny] All right, fuck this shit.
(door thuds)
(slow dramatic music)
- [Bling-Bling] Are you proud of that?
Fuck!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic slow upbeat music)
(dramatic slow upbeat music continues)
(slow dramatic music)
- Wait, uh. Is your sis here?
- [Anna] No. So you can scream
as much as you want, okay?
(slow dramatic music)
(vocalist exclaiming)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny groaning)
- Always banging about. Disgusting sluts!
(dramatic music)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(slow dramatic music)
(Anna speaks faintly)
(slow dramatic music continues)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(woman groans)
(slow dramatic music)
You whores! (gasps)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(woman moaning)
(slow dramatic music)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny hissing)
(woman giggles)
(slow dramatic music)
(Anna moaning)
- You have to show me how to do this.
- [Gen] No, you bitch gonna do
it to yourself night and day.
(dramatic upbeat music)
(intensifying dramatic upbeat music)
(Danny panting)
(intensifying dramatic
upbeat music continues)
(slow eerie suspenseful music)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(woman thuds)
(slow eerie suspenseful music continues)
(eerie suspenseful music)
(slow eerie suspenseful music)
(Bling-Bling gasps)
(Bling-Bling moaning and yelling)
(Danny speaking indistinctly)
(intensifying dramatic music)
(beads clattering)
(intensifying dramatic music continues)
- (panting) I hate the taste of old maid.
So bitter.
(suspenseful music)
(Danny panting)
(slow dramatic music)
(somber music)
(upbeat music)
(plastic rustling)
- I wouldn't worry about it too much.
- I can't.
I hate when it's not
in alphabetical order,
and then you have to go through
it all and it takes forever.
- They're gonna do it anyway.
- I guess.
(sighs) I didn't even know you
could get newspapers anymore.
- There's something outta
the "Twilight Zone."
- [Anna] What?
- Five people found
sitting or wandering around
like oldies with dementia or something.
- Like brain-dead?
- I don't know.
But yeah, just sort of, yeah, blank, gone.
Kids too. Well, your age, or thereabouts.
- What happened?
- Well, no one knows.
The, the, the first one
they found was 20 years old.
Found her wandering around.
Like her personality had been sucked out.
(soft suspenseful music)
(dog barking)
(tense music)
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
- Do you feel okay?
- (inhaling) Yeah, I mean,
I'm not sick or whatever,
but something's wrong.
I don't know what it
is, but I can feel it.
Don't you feel anything?
- Only you.
Like there's, I don't know.
You're blocking me. Is it about us?
- What? No. (gasps)
(lips smack)
You don't have to worry about that.
And I'm not blocking you either.
At least I don't think I am.
(somber music)
- Do you think what you're feeling
has something to do with those people
they've been finding around town?
- Hmm?
- Like what I did to that guy?
- What?
(somber music)
What the fuck? (sighs)
- You think it has
something to do with that?
- Maybe? Yeah, I think so.
There's something very
fucking weird going on.
- What kinda weird?
- Our kind of weird.
(woman screaming)
- That was. Come on.
(suspenseful music)
What happened?
- I don't know, when I
walked past and I, I smelt.
(tense music)
(crowd chattering)
(glass clinking)
- Thanks.
- Today I brought some magic potion.
- I think I'm gonna take it easy tonight.
- Um, has Gen been birth
placed by a changeling?
- I just need my brain working properly,
you know, for my work.
- You okay?
- Yeah. I've been overdoing it lately.
- Hey, I think I'm gonna
take a rain-check as well.
- Bummer.
- Maybe you should too.
I mean, Jade's not going to, so.
- Fine, fine. Next time.
- Hey, um, what's up with Sexy?
- [Anna] Who?
- Danny.
- He's here?
- You didn't bring him?
- No.
Where is he?
- I saw him over there before.
Looked like he was looking for someone.
- (gasps) He's totally looking for me.
- (laughs) Helly and
Danny sitting in a tree.
- F-U-C-K-R-N-D.
(Gen imitating gagging)
What? I called dibs anyway.
- Too late.
- What? You?
- You told?
- I didn't say anything.
- [Jade] It was pretty obvious.
- How?
- The way you make an effort
to not look at him, to avoid eye contact.
Or the way he looks at you
when he thinks no one
else is looking at him.
It's pretty awkward.
- I'm so not jealous.
- It's okay, Helly, it was
just a one-night stand.
He's all yours.
- How could you stand just one night?
(crowd chattering)
Oh, right.
The whirlwind love
story you two got going.
It's disgusting. Really.
- Oh, there he is.
- (gasps) Okay, well, now I know
one of us got on top of him,
I have to have a chance.
I'm going for it.
How do I look?
- Like Helly.
- Jesus Christ, Jade, your Dad jokes
are worse than my dad's Dad jokes.
- You look hot. You should go for it.
- Thank you.
- Wait.
- What?
What if you jinxed me and
he misses out on this?
(Helly speaks Italian)
- Right. Go get him, Tiger.
- Here. May Danny die and go to Helly.
(bottles clinking)
(upbeat music)
(group chattering)
(upbeat music continues)
(muffled upbeat music)
(Helly moaning)
(upbeat music)
- Have you seen Helly?
- Hm? No.
- I have a weird feeling.
- You feel it? You think maybe?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Um.
(upbeat music)
Uh, we should look for her.
Maybe I'll just go look
outside, look for her there.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(staccato percussion music)
(upbeat music)
(Danny panting)
(Helly panting)
(percussive upbeat music)
(Danny and Helly panting)
(muffled upbeat music)
- Hey, did you come?
(upbeat music)
(phone line ringing)
(phone ringing)
(phone clatters)
What the fuck?
(muffled upbeat music)
No! Please, no! (sobbing)
Please, please, no! (gasping)
(intense dramatic music)
(Danny groans)
- [Danny] Akila is alive.
(suspenseful music)
Overthrown and rotten to the bone
Watch us fall away
(dramatic music)
So long you faked it
And now you're dancing naked
(dramatic music)
Like a fool in the rain
(slow dramatic music)
You keep looking for
those dreams you had
And all you find
- [Doctor] Did she accept
any drinks from anyone?
- [Anna] I- I don't know.
We weren't with her.
- [Doctor] I know you
might wanna protect her,
but I need to know if she might
have taken anything herself.
- [Gen] She had some acid with her,
but she didn't take any.
- [Doctor] You're sure?
A bad trip can do things
very much like this.
And you say she didn't drink much?
- [Gen] No. She'd only had one drink.
- [Doctor] I know this
is freaking you all out,
but I need to know everything.
- [Jade] Is she gonna be okay?
- [Doctor] To be honest, I don't know.
Uh, she seems to be exhibiting
some kind of catatonia.
Uh, but once the blood's
come back, we'll know
what kind of substance
might have caused it.
Right now the best thing you can do
is tell me everything you know
about what might have happened to her.
We are just blind
(solemn music)
- Something must have
used the tattoo somehow.
- How? I'm not summoning
demons in my spare time.
Are you?
- Can we even summon demons?
- (scoffs) I don't know.
I didn't even think they existed.
I'm still not sure that's
what's happening here.
- So this symbol, the tattoo,
must summon something,
and somehow you drew it just right.
Like, um, like an intonation thing.
- Maybe.
I don't know if it works like that though.
There are no demons or angels or gods.
There's only us. That much I know.
Or I feel, at least.
You know it too.
If anything like that
were real, we'd feel it.
- Isn't that what's happening now?
I mean, I guess we don't know, do we?
(Gen sighs)
Like you said,
all the old books and knowledge are gone.
- We don't need stupid old books.
We probably never did.
All I know, I- I learned from intuition.
(somber music)
Imagine life is like a video game,
but we're not just players.
We can hack the game,
fuck around with the code,
or whatever they call it.
(somber music)
But hackers can screw up a game, right?
They can make it do weird things.
Glitch up and make new things.
- (sighs) It's a weird analogy.
- You got a better one?
- No.
(somber music)
What if this is all our fault?
Like our fucking with the game
or whatever made this thing.
(somber music)
- What if it's just me?
What if I somehow took some
horrible hidden part of myself,
put it in that tattoo and then...
- I don't believe that.
There can't be something like that in you.
- How do you know?
Do you really know me?
Do you really know anyone?
(Gen sighs)
I feel like this thing
has been inside of me my whole life,
getting darker and
heavier, as I grew older.
The more I knew I didn't belong,
knew I was different.
(suspenseful music)
Every relationship I've been in,
family, friends, lovers, whatever,
I've fucked up 'cause I've gone
and done something stupid or horrible,
or destructive.
And I really thought that
because you were the one from my dreams
that I wouldn't be able to hurt you,
like I had the others,
or like you'd been hurt before.
But I finally found love,
real love, and something horrible
inside of me starts to starve.
So it jumps ship, finds
its way out through my art,
through a powerful symbol,
like some old forgotten spell or curse.
(somber music)
So we can hurt you. So I can hurt you.
(somber music)
- You beautiful idiot.
You haven't hurt me.
And if this thing in Danny does hurt me,
it wouldn't be you hurting me.
There has to be a way to
reverse what happened.
Some sort of spell or something.
If it's like a video game,
we can fix it, right?
- I only know of one way.
I read it in a book when I was a kid.
A blood sacrifice reverses the curse.
Restores balance.
- Like with an animal?
- [Gen] Not an animal.
- A human.
You mean, like, kill Danny.
We can't do that.
None of this is his fault.
(somber music)
- Yeah, you're, you're right.
(Gen sighs)
Mm? I'm so tired.
We'll figure it out. Let's just sleep.
(somber music)
(lips smack)
- Okay.
I love you.
You know that, right?
- You know I know.
(solemn music)
(solemn music continues)
(slow suspenseful music)
(solemn music)
I have no body, my spirit's

- No, no, no. Don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't, don't.

(Danny screaming)
(Gen panting)
(suspenseful music)
(Danny screaming)
(Gen panting)
(Gen screaming)
(suspenseful music)
Help me! (sobbing)
(Gen screaming and sobbing)
(Gen panting)
(Danny panting)
(somber music)
It was the only way.
You shouldn't have stopped me.
(somber music)
- There's no universe in which
I wouldn't have stopped you.
- I guess.
(somber music)
- Don't guess. Know.
(somber music)
- We can't stop him now.
- We can.
You said so yourself.
There's been so much we've
lost over the centuries.
So much knowledge, books and spells,
ways of channeling our abilities.
But this thing was created
without any of that.
So it can be dealt with without it.
Whatever it is.
However it got in your tattoo.
It's there now, on Danny,
so we know where it is.
- Maybe. He lives in your
apartment building, right?
- [Anna] Yeah. So maybe
we should stay here.
Be safer. He's never been here.
- No. We should go there.
We should watch him. Follow him even.
Besides, we're not normal
like Helly or the others.
I don't think he can hurt us.
- Are you sure?
- [Gen] No, but we have other
ways of protecting ourselves
that the rest don't.
We can try to stop him
from hurting the others
by staying close to him too.
Close to it.
- But how?
(somber music)
I'm gonna have to bandage that up again
before it gets infected. (sighs)
(somber music)
I have an idea.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey!
- Jesus!
- Oh, this? Uh, accident at work.
Happens with needles and stuff.
I'll get a permanent
squiggle tat out of it,
and I can just tell people it's Celtic.
- Hmm.
- Sorry, we're gonna be late.
We gotta go. We're just
grabbing some stuff.
- Shit, right. Family thing. (chuckles)
- Have fun with that.
(bat clangs)
- What do you think?
- Nice.
(knife clatters)
- Okay, you win.
- Stole this from my dad
before I came out to the city.
Fuckin' loser likes hunting.
- Just don't invite me
to any family events.
- Cross my heart.
(footsteps tapping)
- What's with the bat?
(door rattles and thuds)
Bye.
- (sighs) It still stinks in here.
- It really does.
- If Danny doesn't come
soon I'm gonna die in here.
- You can't die from a smell.
- Sure you can.
(door thuds)
(footsteps tapping)
You can hear everything.
No wonder the old lady was obsessed.
Must have driven her crazy.
- [Anna] It's not him.
- Thank fuck.
Still have no idea what we're
gonna do when he does come.
- (sighs) Use our intuition, I guess.
- Shit plan.
We should have brought donuts.
They have donuts on stakeouts in movies.
- Why'd you have to say that?
- [Annabel] Well, anyway, he-
- [Andrew] Go on. Then what?
- [Annabel] Well, here he
tells about the snake bite.
- Whoops.
- And the drug
that's used for his antidote.
- [Andrew] Mademoiselle,
the fire of the sunset
in your eyes is consuming my heart.
- [Annabel] Lieutenant, are
you making advances toward me?
- [Andrew] I love you, Annabel.
- (gasps) Drink responsibly.
(fist banging)
- Andrew, please.
- Jesus.
- [Annabel] I told you.
Lips that have touched
alcohol shall never-
- [Dakota] What is it now?
(soft suspenseful music)
(object thuds and clatters)
- Oh fuck!
- What?
(tense dramatic music)
Dakota?
(bat clatters)
Hey! Hey, hey, wake up.
- Fucking cunt!
- Dakota, wake up!
- He knows we're onto him.
- How?
- It knows.
It's a part of me.
And it's fucking with us now.
- Dakota?
- I should've known.
- Stop it!
- It's my fault.
- Stop.
- It's my fault.
- Stop.
- It's my fault.
- Don't start that shit.
- [Gen] I should've known. It's my fault.
- Dakota, wake up. (panting) Wake up.
I don't know what to do.
(somber music)
I don't know what to do!
(panting) We have to find him now.
- He could have-
- We have to find him now.
We didn't see anyone leave!
- Right. Okay, well, where
could he have gone then?
(suspenseful music)
- Come on.
(somber suspenseful music)
(wind whooshing)
(car horn honking)
- Hey!
(suspenseful music)
What are you doing?
Wait!
(suspenseful music)
I don't know what the fuck is going on.
- I'm sorry, Danny.
I don't know if you're you
right now, or the tattoo,
but I knew some part of
you would come up here.
- What the fuck are you talking about?
- Danny, I need you to sit
down and be calm, okay?
- I'm calm. I'm calm.
I'm calm, Anna.
(suspenseful music)
You think I'm bad?
You should see the
things I see inside her.
- I'm shaking in my boots.
- You should be! (exclaims)
(dramatic music)
(knife whizzes)
(fist thuds)
(Danny grunts)
(Gen thuds)
(suspenseful music)
Danny loves you.
I can feel him on the inside
crying like a little bitch
begging me not to kill you.
Pathetic!
(dramatic music)
Let's go, Anna.
He'd kill for you.
- I don't want to, but I will.
(somber music)
(somber music continues)
- Poor Danny knows everything that I know.
He knows you don't love him.
He knows you don't care about him.
- I do care about him.
- Lies make baby Jesus cry.
You know what I like to do, Anna?
I like to play him the memory
of you two fucking over and over again.
Just to taste his pain.
- Go fuck yourself.
(suspenseful music)
(bones creaking)
(dramatic music)
- You're killing him,
Anna, you heartless cunt!
- So leave him then.
- No, you are killing him. Let us go.
Trust me, you're part of him.
(suspenseful music)
- Get out. Or you die with him.
(Danny grunting)
(Danny thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- You are not going anywhere.
You're mine and I'm taking you back.
(Danny screaming)
(flesh squelching)
- [Danny] You pathetic,
fragile, self-abusing bitch!
- I don't want you back either,
but what's mine is mine.
And I want you to stay inside
of this pathetic, fragile,
self-abusing bitch and starve!
(intense suspenseful music)
(soft suspenseful music)
Welcome home, bitch.
(flesh squelching)
(tense music)
(Dakota gasping)
(Dakota panting)
(tense music continues)
- What the fuck?
(somber music)
- You know what?
- What?
- I think I gotta quit doing tattoos.
(somber music)
(tense music)
- That's a good idea.
(soft somber music)
- What do you remember?
(soft somber music)
- Everything.
(solemn music)
(somber music)
(somber music continues)
(somber music continues)
Even if I imagine
You're burning like a dragon
(gentle upbeat music)
I got to get to the source
Fall
- [Anna] I missed having
a proper bed. (chuckles)
- [Gen] Me too.
I like how it squeaks when we stop.
(Gen and Anna giggle)
But me too.
(gentle upbeat music)
Heard from Danny?
- No, not for ages.
I guess he's out seeing the world.
- Sowing his oats.
- I mean, his whole perspective
of the world has changed now.
He's probably out trying
to outrun his fears.
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
Fall
- He'll be okay. Chicks dig scars.
- Yeah.
- He's tough. I can feel it.
And I bet the world is a
whole lot more interesting
to him now.
(gentle upbeat music)
Fall
- Gen?
- Hm?
- What if that thing was right?
What if something really terrible
comes out of me next time?
- Then we'll deal with it together.
A little out of control
(insects chirping)
- Our life is so fucking weird.
- [Gen] Great, isn't it?
(insects chirping)
(gentle upbeat music)
If the wind is still and blue
And the sky falls on you
Close your eyes and fly
High above the velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
If your wings fall out of you
And the earth comes close to you
Take my hand and walk with me
Under the velvet moon
Lazy
Drifting into you
Crazy, do anything
For you
While the stars
Are singing too
Dive into the velvet moon
Lazy
Drifting into you
Crazy, do anything
For you
While the stars
Are singing too
Dive into the velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
And be to me an ocean
And be
(gentle upbeat music continues)
And be to me an ocean
Be
And be to me an ocean
Ooh, you are my
One and only
Velvet moon
(gentle upbeat music continues)
