Yellowjackets (2021) s01e05 Episode Script

We're out of food.
If we want to eat, one of you
is gonna have to
learn how to use this thing.
So the rest of us
are relying on you two,
which means
you need to rely on each other.
- Just breathe.
- [gunshot]
[Misty]
The coroner ruled it a suicide.
[Natalie] Travis didn't
fucking kill himself,
and I'm gonna find out who did.
I know a guy
who can probably get us
into Travis' email.
I don't need you.
Yeah, but, Nat
- Go the fuck home.
- I'm his wife.
He just hasn't texted me
the room number yet.
Why are you here, Adam?
I was just getting a drink,
but, actually,
I'm starting to think maybe
something out there has
other ideas.
- [Misty] It's Misty.
- I told you to never call me.
Travis is dead.
[Taissa sighs]
If Rafelson takes
a shine to me tonight,
her money, her influence,
she could turn
everything around.
Tell me, what really happened
out there?
Go fuck yourself.
[Lottie] I think bad things
happened here.
Come here! Look!
[whirring]
I just have a bad feeling
about this place.
[Taissa] A bad feeling?
I don't believe in that shit.
"No Return" by Craig Wedren
and Anna Waronker
It was cool, nothing fire
Nothing broke
Keep simple
Nothing tired, nothing old
Same as you
Same as you
Oh, so cute, so revival
So alone
Birthday suit, just a smile
No one home
Same as you
Same as you
[vocalizing]
No return, no return
No reason
No return, no return
No reason
No return, no return
No reason
No return, no return
No reason
This is how we do it
One, two, one, two, three, four!
- This is how we do it
-[vocalizing]
- Running man, running man.
- This is how we do it
Bart Simpson, Bart Simpson.
And I feel all right
[Mari] And Javi.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [whooping]
So I reach for my 40,
and I turn it up
[all] Designated driver
take the keys to my truck
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say,
"Monty, yo, we made it"
It feels so good
in my hood tonight
The summertime skirts
and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers
forgot about the drive-by
- [music stops]
- [whoops, laughs]
Goddamn it. [sighs]
[girls panting]
- What happened?
- I don't know.
Has hitting something
ever fixed it?
M-Maybe try blowing on it?
[blows]
[creaking]
Uh, the fuck was that?
- Hey, you heard it, too?
- It was probably just a branch.
Inside, on the floor?
- [sighs]
- What if it's him?
What, the dead guy?
Um, yeah.
You know what it probably was?
The dead guy's missing fingers
- trying to find their way home.
- [jeering]
Nat.
You really have to
encourage them?
You got to admit, it didn't
sound like it was on the roof.
[Jackie]
Fine, then it was a rat,
or a raccoon, or something.
I don't know, it
Shh!
Oh, my God.
Listen.
- Well, I don't hear it now.
- [Taissa] See?
[Ben] All right, all right.
You know what I think it was?
I think the ghost decided
it was time to get some sleep.
And we should probably do
the same, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't know.
[murmuring]
[birds chirping]
[door creaks]
suspenseful music
[Ben snoring softly]
gentle music
[gasps, pants]
What the fuck are you doing?
I was just, um, I-I
I just, I just wanted to move
the blankets so that
Do not fucking touch me, Misty.
Do you understand?
Dramatic music
[Ben panting]
[Natalie] Jackie.
- [groans]
- Jackie.
- [groans louder]
- Up and at 'em, or something.
[groans] I'm so cold.
I have cramps.
No shit. We literally
all have cramps.
Our periods have synced up.
- Come on.
- [groans]
[birds chirping]
[axe striking in distance]
[sighs]
[axe strikes]
[Akilah] Hey.
Bloody soldiers on the left
and breakfast on the right.
Okay?
Don't mess them up
like Travis did.
Okay, you guys are disgusting.
- I'm
- Shut up.
[axe strikes]
[sighs]
How about getting
some more water?
Breakfast isn't going anywhere.
Eerie music
- [axe strikes]
- [fire crackling]
Lottie?
Aren't you cold?
Yeah
actually.
I thought it'd be warmer.
Right.
[grunts softly]
women vocalizing hauntingly
[grunting softly]
[sighs]
Fuck.
[sighing heavily]
Hey, need a hand?
[sighs] No, it's okay.
I got it.
Why are you so chipper?
Don't you have a blood sacrifice
between your legs
like the rest of us?
Um, I'm late this month.
Uh, we were in a plane crash.
It's probably just stress.
Well, lucky you're a virgin
or we'd really have to worry.
[chuckles]
Anyway, enjoy it
while it lasts, I guess.
This rag situation is
a fucking horror show.
Suspenseful music
[phone keys clicking]
No worries.
I'm trying to cut back
on carbs anyway.
Oh, shit.
Hey, if you see an Uber pre-auth
on your account tonight,
don't cancel it.
I'm going into the city
with Cleo and Linh.
I'm sorry, did you mean
to phrase that as a question?
Uh no.
You're not going into the city
for Halloween.
I know.
It's heartless how I take
an interest in your safety.
My safety? I'm sorry my idea of
a good time doesn't involve
sitting on the porch
in some '90s character costume
that nobody even recognizes.
The people who matter
recognize Daria, okay?
And besides, I'm not gonna be
the one handing out the candy,
you are.
My, uh, book club is meeting
tonight.
Wow. Halloween for the ages.
But, hey, it's
a good thing you're doing
all that lame stuff now,
it'll free up so much time
during your retirement. Bye.
You shouldn't be so hard on her.
I'm sorry,
I shouldn't be so hard on her?
Our daughter is an asshole.
You let her get under your skin.
Why do you do that?
Well, you let her do
whatever she wants.
I don't understand why
I'm the only one in this family
who thinks that actions
should have consequences.
Okay.
Do you really need to do
this book club thing tonight?
Yeah, Jeff. I-I do have to go.
Hey, why don't we go together?
Make it like a date.
- [sets mug down]
- To book club?
Yeah.
You haven't done the reading.
What's it about? Lay it on me.
We're reading The Girl
in the Train Window.
And [sighs] you know, really,
I'm just going to avoid the
side-eye from the other moms.
It's-it's basically the opposite
of-of a sausage fest, so
[Jeff] Hmm.
- A clambake
- Don't.
- You don't need to. Mm.
- All right. All right.
I guess I can, uh, appease
the local goblin community
alone this year.
Okay.
Bye.
[narrator on TV]
Washington State is
the hottest UFO hotspot
in the nation.
The number of UFO sightings
here has increased dramatically.
[chatter continues indistinctly]
[cell phone ringing]
Mm. Hey.
Hey. I'm glad I caught you.
I, uh, I got the file on Travis.
- You did?
- Yeah.
And the toxicology report,
it's it's clean.
He wasn't on anything, Nat.
- [sighs]
- I know that doesn't make it
any less of a of a tragedy,
but, uh, I hope
it'll help you rest easier.
Yeah, it will.
Thanks. I owe you one.
Well, in that case, um
Look, uh [sighs]
if my timing's off,
don't even worry about it,
but, um
if you ever want to hang out
again or
Hey, Kev,
I'm getting another call,
so, uh, I'll talk to you later,
okay? Bye.
[exhales sharply]
[newscaster speaking
indistinctly on TV]
- [monitor beeping steadily]
- [cell phone rings]
[sighs] Hello?
Didn't you say you knew a guy
who could break into
people's email?
Who is this, please?
What is your problem?
It's a simple question.
I haven't heard an apology yet.
[scoffs]
But in light of everything
you've been through,
I will forgive you.
In terms of my contact,
I'll reach out to them.
Who're we hacking?
Kevyn.
He got the whole file
on Travis's death,
but as far as he knows
it's suicide,
so I can't exactly ask him
for it.
Consider it done.
[girl] Come on.
It smells bad in there.
That's just antiseptic.
Come on in.
This place is really boring.
But was there something
you wanted to ask Mrs. Petersen?
- Trick or treat.
- Trick or treat.
Here you go.
[beeping drones]
Code Blue, Code Blue!
Doctor, Doctor!
- Come and help us!
- [both screaming]
[laughs]
Trick it is.
[beeping steadily]
[urine trickling]
tense music
- [twigs breaks]
- [Taissa groans softly]
- Sorry, I was just
- Oh, no. It's fine.
[axe clatters]
Yeah.
I'll talk to you later.
Yeah. Thanks.
That bad?
[chuckles]
I'm trailing by 20 points
in the suburbs.
Even here,
I'm nowhere near Bathurst.
Fuck.
Why couldn't I just smile
and kiss Diane Rafelson's
- rich, old liberal ass?
- [chuckles]
Well, you've never been good
at being anything
other than yourself.
Honestly, it's your superpower.
Are you trying to get
in my pants?
- [chuckles] Always.
- Mm.
[both moan softly]
[dog growling]
[barking]
[howling in distance]
Baby, what's wrong?
[Taissa] Do you hear that?
- [Simone] What?
- [howls]
[shuddering breath]
Baby, what are you do
Did you see someone outside?
Keep the dog inside.
Women vocalizing hauntingly
Women vocalizing hauntingly
[siren blaring in distance]
suspenseful music
[birds twittering]
[scoffs]
Thanks for jinxing me.
[scoffs]
[chuckles] Welcome to Club Flo.
Call me when you're ready
to shake Misty down for Motrin.
[chuckles softly]
Ugh! These batteries.
Fucking cocksucker.
[Jackie sighs]
- Come on.
- What the hell?
You're coming with me.
Let's go. Come on.
Ow.
You have to push it harder.
- I am pushing.
- No, you're not.
You have to push till it pops.
- Like this.
- [bone pops]
Oh, gross. Ew.
It's not that hard.
It's like shucking an oyster.
Yeah, I'm not doing that.
Well, then I don't know
how to help you,
but you can't keep
not pitching in.
People are noticing, Jackie.
Why am I the only one
not getting off
on this boring
back-to-the-land bullshit?
I suck at this stuff,
and I know that.
And I don't belong here,
and I don't know how much longer
I can keep doing this.
Remember when
Kiffy Schumacher broke her arm
right before we were supposed
to go to WhipSplash River?
And you told her that
if she shared her Percocet,
we'd all crash bingo
at the Elks Lodge instead?
[scoffs] Yeah.
Wait, is this a pep talk?
- [laughs] Oh, wowza, Shipman.
- [chuckles]
Wow, that is so not your style.
- Tell me about it.
- Mm.
Cheering people up is
your thing.
I'm better at
Making people feel judged?
Ooh, cutting up dead things?
Wow. Thanks.
[chuckles] I'm kidding.
Besides, you're kind of turning
into a badass out here.
You taught me
how to be like this, you know.
I mean, you make people feel
like things are gonna be okay
just by showing up and
being your dumb, hot,
awesome self.
At least you always did that
for me.
Thanks.
I'm still not putting a knife
through a fucking deer knee.
[chuckles] Fine.
But still, we
we need you, Jackie.
Here.
I mean, you're basically
the best.
Remember?
- Yeah.
- [chuckles]
- [laughter]
- Ooh.
Whoa, Samwich, what'd we say?
Five pieces. Can I have six?
Including this one
that you had in your hand?
[Sammy] I don't know
how that got there.
[Simone] Uh-huh. Hey.
Remember, no candy for the dog.
Speaking of truth
Maybe it's about time
you "spill"
on your opponent's
junkie daughter.
Whatever happened
to not going low?
Yeah, well, when these nutjobs
come to my house,
- I'm less magnanimous.
- No, the c
The contractor is
sending someone
- to paint over it tomorrow.
- [sighs heavily]
dramatic music
- [Simone] Mm-hmm.
- Arms up.
[grunting]
intense music
[sighs heavily]
[exhales]
[dance music playing]
[lively chatter]
If you'd warned me we were gonna
be coming to a place this cool,
I would've just, like,
worn a sheet over my head.
Well, you could have,
but wearing a mask is
more conducive
to not bumping into walls.
They're all just so young,
and-and so, um
- naked.
- Oh, stop.
Hey, you're
the most beautiful person here.
Anyway, this was, like,
every other weekend at Pratt.
Art students will use any excuse
to take their clothes off.
Mm.
That must have been
very educational for you.
- [scoffs]
- No comment.
- [laughs]
- Shall we?
[Shauna sighs]
I feel like I just
look like I fell off
a Fifty Shades of Grey bus tour.
You don't have to
if you don't want to.
Okay. I don't think I want to.
Okay.
[dance music playing]
- [Adam] Hey, thanks.
- [Shauna] Thank you.
- [birds chirping]
- [panting softly]
[groans] Nothing.
Ah, giving up makes sense.
You're too far behind
to ever catch up.
It's not my fault
your lady blood
is scaring all the prey away.
- [clears throat]
- [laughs]
Wow.
- Oh, you went there.
- Went there?
I am surrounded on all sides.
That cabin is, like,
the blood hive.
[scoffs]
What's the matter, Travis?
Are you scared of our menses?
I never said that.
[clears throat]
Anyway, shouldn't the smell
of blood attract animals?
Uh, predators, maybe.
But didn't hunter-gatherer
tribes used to make their women,
like, hide in huts or whatever
when they were on their periods?
I'm confused now.
Are you a zoologist
or an anthropologist?
[chuckles]
I'm pretty sure it was
so they wouldn't ruin the hunt.
More like 'cause men
needed something
to blame their failures on.
[Natalie] Ouch.
I guess that hasn't changed.
[gunshot]
[gun clicks]
[Travis] What was that about
me not catching up to you?
[laughs softly]
soft, tranquil music
[knocking rhythmically]
I told you
we didn't need a code.
I've got good news and bad news.
Which one is this?
No, open it.
It's an aroma diffuser.
Ylang-ylang,
with a hint of gardenia.
Subtropical florals
are very, very uplifting.
Good to know.
What's the bad news?
Well, uh, my contact
can access the files,
but he's being a bit of a D-bag.
Who is this person, exactly?
We only know each other by our
Citizen Detective chat handles.
He's mad at me
because I didn't tell him
that he was stealing
a police file,
so now he wants
to meet in public
to "discuss" the terms
of the exchange.
Oh, we'll meet all right.
[chuckles]
dark, suspenseful music
What's that?
Maybe you should tell us.
We found it in your room.
What do you mean, "no"?
Sammy, you painted a word
on our front door.
You want to tell us why?
[Simone] Sweetheart, we promise
we won't get angry with you.
You just need to tell us
the truth, okay?
I didn't paint the word.
Sammy, please.
The bad one did it.
The lady in the tree.
And did the lady in the tree
also put the paint
under your bed?
Sammy, you know
there isn't any lady.
Please stop lying to us.
I'm not lying.
[gasping]
[Simone] Baby, wait up.
[Misty] Is this gonna work?
I mean, most restaurants
won't let you bring in drinks
or food or anything.
I don't know, Misty.
You tell me.
I've still got that rifle
in the trunk.
Well, I don't know how we'd get
that into the restaurant.
[sighs]
[upbeat song playing on stereo]
Stallion99?
African Grey?
[chuckles] Yeah, no.
I'm African Grey.
I
[whispers]
I didn't authorize anyone else
to come to this meet.
[whispers] Well, cool out.
I can vouch for her.
Oh, my God.
Just tell us what you want.
- I want in.
- On what?
Your operation.
The stiff in this file,
I looked him up,
he doesn't exist.
No shit, 'cause he's dead.
And he's none of your
goddamn business.
So you should give us the file.
What's it worth to you?
[grunts] What the hell?
If the question is, "Is me
lighting your dick on fire
and going to jail worth me
getting my hands on that file?"
Fucking try me.
You guys are fucking crazy.
Here.
You should ask that guy out.
You two have so much in common.
[chuckles]
[scoffs]
God. Finally.
[both laugh]
[screams in distance]
[sighs] Jesus Christ.
- What now?
- [stifled chuckle]
Get it off, get it off,
get it off, get it off!
Hang on. Hey, hang on. Hey.
- Get it off me.
- What Get what off?
I don't know.
I-I was standing
under the trapdoor.
I don't see anything.
[Mari] But something
crawled down my shirt.
It's fine.
There's nothing there. Mari.
- There's nothing there.
- I don't see anything.
It's fine.
Must have been the ghost.
Don't say that.
Wh You guys. [gasps]
Okay, you guys,
I just had a brainstorm.
We should have a seance.
[chuckles]
That's a terrible idea.
Also, we're not
in middle school.
But remember how fun
this shit used to be?
Besides, maybe if we can laugh
about this, then it would help.
The occult
is no laughing matter.
It's not the occult,
Laura Lee. It's a game.
Come on, Shauna, tell them.
It'll be fun.
Um
well, I mean, it's not like
we have anything better to do.
And maybe this dead guy
can give us some life advice.
- [laughter]
- [Van] Okay.
So, it's settled.
Tonight, the attic.
- We make contact.
- [laughter]
"Freakout" by Nightlapse
featuring Liska
But I freak out
I get in my way
Let it creep out
Let it escape
And it seeps out
It can't be caged
And it ain't me
But it's wearing my skin
And it hates me,
shallow and thin
Will the sane me
Ever win?
Somebody call
my psychotherapist
[Adam] Hey. Hey, Shauna.
[Shauna] Hey.
I can't handle this
Wait.
Call my psychotherapist
Jackie?
Mom?
[both] What are you doing here?
Where'd you get that uniform?
In your closet.
I don't fucking believe you,
Callie.
I specifically told you
- [Adam] Hey, Shauna.
- To never
[chuckles]
Is everything okay here?
[Shauna] Uh, can you just
Whoa.
What are you on?
Just molly.
- What the fuck is
- Ecstasy, Mom.
Great. Wonderful. Come on.
Well, no, what about my friends?
- Where are we going?
- Where do you think we're going,
the after-party?
I'm taking you home.
Or, I don't know,
someplace you can sober up.
Hey, do you guys need a ride?
No. Thank you. No.
Silence, I can't handle it
He's asleep. [sighs]
Finally.
I'm worried about him.
Well, I'm glad
you're catching up.
I know I've been distracted.
No. You've been worse
than distracted.
You're losing weight,
you're exhausted.
Do you want to know
what's wrong with Sammy?
I think a big part of it
is that he's missing the mom
he used to know.
You know, you never
get the time back.
None of us will.
[laughs softly]
[sniffles]
Doesn't seem worth it, does it?
All this, just to lose a bid
for state senate.
[chuckles]
You think I should drop out?
I would never ask you
to do that.
I just
I just don't want you
to have any regrets.
[sniffles]
Hey.
[crying softly]
I'll make an announcement.
[Ben grunts]
Tea, to help with the swelling.
[stammers] In-in your leg.
[laughs softly]
No, no, no. Not like that.
Put them along the marks
that are already here.
This symbol thing
is totally seance-y.
Isn't this kind of, like,
a waste of candles?
[scoffs] Not if we're
getting rid of a ghost.
[clicks]
[giggling]
- You cheater!
- [laughs]
Oh, my God, are you seriously
doing magic right now?
[laughs] You do know that girls
are not into that, right?
Wait, so are you saying
that when I wasn't doing magic,
you were into it?
Give me that.
Hey!
[laughs]
soft, intriguing music
[both panting]
soft, somber music
[grunts softly]
Nat.
What is that?
See, here it is again.
What, that smudge?
And here.
Does that look like wax?
Dark, pulsing music
[Natalie]
This is bad. [chuckles]
This is so wrong.
Travis didn't believe
in any of this shit.
Then why is it in the place
where he died?
I don't know, but I promise you,
he did not put it there.
So
was that your lover?
- Um, okay. I-I
- He was pretty hot.
Though you-you do have
that whole Yellowjackets thing
going for you.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz," right?
As a matter of fact, Callie,
he doesn't know anything
about that.
[laughs]
- That's funny?
- Mom.
Come on. Does he know your name?
Does he have the Internet?
When did you fall
out of love with Dad?
It's not that
It's so complicated.
With your dad and me,
there's a lot of baggage.
Baggage. You mean Jackie?
You guys never talk about her.
You know, that was her uniform,
not mine.
Oh, shit. I didn't know.
Her parents gave it to me
for her 40th birthday, um,
so I could remember her.
As if I hadn't spent
the better part of my life
thinking about her
every single day.
- [inhales sharply]
- Are you okay?
God. I'm so sorry, Mom.
It's just, it's just so awful
that you had to go through
all that.
Bad things happen in life.
- And I'm fine.
- No. But, Mom, but you're not.
You're so not fine.
Do you think I can't see that?
Soft, solemn music
[Jackie] O keeper of this wild
and hidden place
we anoint ourselves
with blood and earth.
Here.
It's just dirt and deer blood.
Classic witch recipe. Relax.
[exhales]
[inhales]
O spirit, we offer
our sister as your instrument.
Come to us and speak your peace.
It is I, Jacques.
[stifled laughter]
[clears throat]
- [deep voice] Jacques.
- [laughter]
Ask your questions.
The pendulum will answer them.
Okay. [clears throat]
Dear dead hunter guy
did O.J. do it?
[laughter]
Come on, guys. Real questions.
The veil is thin
between our two planes.
Ask what is in your heart.
I'll go.
Is Principal Berzonsky
screwing Ms. DeWine?
[laughter]
[scattered oohing]
[Van] Oh.
- It is certain.
- [laughter, howling]
[Akilah] Hunter guy,
if we hadn't crashed,
would we have won Nationals?
- [Van] Dude.
- [all oohing]
[booing]
[laughter]
[laughter]
[laughter, whooping]
[oohing, laughter]
If you're thinking
about flying that thing,
you're even crazier
than those idiots upstairs.
My grandpa used to fly a Cessna,
and he could
barely write his name.
It can't be that hard.
Okay, fine.
It's probably hard.
But there's no harm
in reading about it.
Coach, are you
listening to this?
[sighs] No.
[laughter]
I'm gonna go see
what's so funny.
[laughter]
[footsteps thudding]
They're obviously fake.
You really need a ghost
to tell you that?
- [laughter]
- [Mari] You think?
But who would've paid for them?
Her parents?
I thought I told you
to stay downstairs.
Whatever. It's boring.
I think they got divorced
recently.
It could've been guilt money.
- Well, that's just creepy.
- "Well, honey,
your mom and I are splitting up,
but don't worry,
'cause your tits
are gonna look amazing."
[laughter]
Okay. Guys, guys, focus.
Next question.
- Misty?
- [Misty chuckles]
Um [clears throat]
[exhales] Dear spirit,
I need to know the truth.
Does the person I like
like me back?
Aww.
- [soft laughter]
- Oh. Okay.
- [whistling, oohing]
- Yes, Misty.
[laughs]
[laughter]
[Jackie] Okay. Next question?
Mm-hmm?
Are we all gonna die out here?
Atmospheric, haunting music
[soft laughter]
[wind whistling]
Okay, an eight?
What's that supposed to mean?
It's not an eight.
It's an infinity.
[Van] Yeah, okay, Aristotle.
[screams]
[screaming, shouting]
Who has the matches?
[Lottie hyperventilating]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Van] Guys, something's
really wrong with her.
- [crying]
- I-I don't, think she
It wants It wants
Misty, what do we do?
- [Lottie] It wants!
- Lottie, I swear to God,
if you're fucking with us
[Akilah] I think
she's, like, possessed.
[Shauna]
Listen, Lottie. Lottie, sweetie.
What's going on? What is "it"?
More like what does "it" want?
Hungry.
[whispers] Hungry.
[cackles]
[shushes]
It's in you already.
Lottie, knock it off.
This isn't a game.
[panting]
[speaking French]
Is that French?
Since when does Lottie
speak French?
Jackie, w-wasn't she
in your class?
Yeah, but she sucks at French.
- Well, what's she saying?
- I don't know,
I suck at French, too!
Well, damn it, Jackie,
try not to!
[clamoring, thudding]
- [speaking French]
- [Jackie] Uh, "he-he,"
uh "it, it."
No, it wants something
- [speaking French]
- Uh, "blood"?
I-I think she's saying "blood."
[Mari] Not the word I want
to be hearing right now.
[speaking French]
Shit. More blood stuff?
I don't know.
Here? Here. She's saying "here."
[Van]
There's blood where, Lottie?
You really have to be
encouraging her, Van?
Blood here, or out there?
Coach, do something.
Make them stop.
[Jackie] Lottie, what?
Coach?
[speaking French]
[panting]
You must spill blood.
Or else
Or else what, Lottie?
[Lottie panting]
Lottie, what are you
[girls screaming]
Coach?
- [gasps]
- [heaving]
[Mari] What is happening?
- [wails]
- [Akilah] Lottie!
- [wailing continues]
- [Ben panting]
[choking]
[Lottie continues wailing]
[gasping, panting]
[screaming]
[Laura Lee]
The power of Christ compels you!
Begone, Satan!
The power of Christ compels you!
Lottie!
Lottie, stop!
Ow. What the hell, Laura Lee?
[panting]
[Mari] Seriously?
What the motherfuck
just happened?
- [camera shutters clicking]
- [indistinct chatter]
Thank you, everyone,
for coming on such short notice.
I, um [clears throat]
Wow, this is hard. [chuckles]
I guess it would be nice
of me to explain
why you all had
to wake up so early.
[chuckles]
[echoing, distorted] My
opponent, Phil Bathurst
has waged a worthy campaign,
and I trust
will continue to serve
his constituents
[voices fading]
dark, suspenseful music
I knew when I started
this campaign
that I was getting
into a bloody business,
but I believed it was important.
The people of New Jersey
deserve honest representation.
They deserve a leader
with courage.
My opponent Phil Bathurst
has been scaring people
with lurid insinuations,
and his supporters,
well, they're lapping it up.
Yesterday, someone
defaced our home
with his disgusting taunt.
Since everyone seems
so fixated on this,
here's what I will say
about the time
I spent in the wilderness.
It's not sensational,
but it is the truth.
In life, sometimes
we encounter obstacles
that are so enormous
we can only face them
with the help of our community.
And that's as true today in
New Jersey as it was out there.
So here's my commitment to you:
no matter what
gets written on my door,
I am staying in this race.
Because together,
we can do anything.
I believe that.
[exhales]
[Taissa inhales sharply]
I've seen it happen.
- [indistinct chatter]
- [chuckles]
dark, suspenseful music
[Laura Lee exhales]
slow, somber music
- Ben? Is everything o
- Stop.
[panting]
No, don't look for them.
Look at me.
You poisoned me.
Why?
That's a very strong word.
- I-I-I was
- No, Misty.
Why?
I, uh
You what?
I have these feelings for you,
and I
[panting]
I feel the same way you do.
I-I'm sorry
that I lost my temper
this morning.
It's just that w-when you
get close to me like that,
it frightens me.
I-I get scared that I
won't be able to control myself.
[laughs softly]
You don't have to be scared.
- I would love
- No, Misty, Misty.
I do.
I mean, you're not even 18.
Right?
And I'm your teacher.
I just couldn't live with myself
if I ever crossed that line,
uh no matter how much
I might want to.
Do you understand?
Okay.
And we shouldn't tell
anyone else.
I mean, the other girls,
they would only be jealous.
So
what if this is our secret?
Just us?
Please, Misty.
My sweet
Misty.
You help me be strong.
[exhales]
Do we think it's still up there?
You all need to stop.
There's nothing up there.
Lottie's been acting weird
for weeks.
[snoring]
Fine.
I'll prove it.
[Akilah]
You're gonna sleep up there?
[Taissa] That's right.
Who's with me?
Fine. More room for me, then.
[praying quietly]
[whispering] We should
go up there with her.
[whispering]
In the attic? No frickin' way.
Well, she shouldn't be up
there by herself.
I mean, if it weren't for us
Shauna, whatever happened
tonight was not
- because of our dumb seance.
- Okay, but
If you want to sleep up there,
fine, be my guest.
I'm staying down here.
[exhales sharply]
[groans]
Hi.
Uh, I picked you up
some Pedialyte.
Thought it might help
with your stomach.
- How are you feeling?
- How do you think?
Like ass.
So, here's the deal.
I don't have a curfew anymore.
And any Ubers into the city
are gonna be no-questions-asked,
or else I'll tell Dad
[whispers]
about your new boyfriend.
Honey, um
have you ever heard
of mutually assured destruction?
I basically invented it.
Oh.
[chuckles] Okay, great.
So let's chase down
exactly what you're proposing.
- Hmm.
- First of all,
do you have any idea how much
divorce lawyers cost?
We're talking
$500, $600 an hour.
So, there's about 12,000 bucks
in your college fund right now
And, yes, I do wish that number
sounded less pathetic
But regardless,
you can kiss it goodbye.
And speaking of that curfew
that you're so eager
to be free from?
Get ready to have a different
kind of cramp on your weekends,
because there is no one lonelier
than a recent divorcé.
You will be spending
your Friday nights
in your dad's
sad little apartment,
eating cold pizza on the sofa
you know he cries into.
And after a few months of that,
just when you start
to think, "Oh, okay,
Dad's taking a little bit
better care of himself now,"
get ready.
Because that is when
he is gonna come to you
for dating advice,
which I don't doubt
you'll be able to give him,
because most of those girls
will be about your age.
But, hey,
you're the one holding
the trump card here.
Hon?
- [Jeff] Yeah?
- Will you come in here?
Callie has something
she wants to tell you.
What's going on?
[sighs] I snuck
into the city last night.
And I got high, and kind of
freaked out a little,
and I had to call Mom
to give me a ride home.
[sighs]
Mm.
Wow. [sniffs]
Cals, that's, uh,
that's very disappointing.
You know, lying is very uncool,
and you're lucky
that your mom was able
to be there to pick you up,
otherwise you could
[sighs]
Boy, were you right.
She is getting a real attitude.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
[footsteps]
[Taissa] What are you doing?
I was just gonna keep
you company.
If that's okay.
[exhales]
[whispering]
How far along are you?
You are pregnant, right?
You won't tell anyone
- will you?
- No.
I won't.
But if we're stuck out here
long enough,
I have a feeling it'll come out
one way or another.
Soft, energetic music
[keyboard clicking]
[knocking on door]
Since my press conference,
my phone has not stopped ringing
with folks trying
to interview me.
So tell me, why am I here?
What is that?
It's the floor of the barn
where they found Travis's body.
The police are saying
it's a suicide,
but there were candles
underneath him
arranged like that, Tai.
Someone burned them
and took them away.
Who would do that? Why?
[phone chimes]
[phone chimes]
[Natalie] "Gather 50K cash
and await further instructions.
Do not discuss
with your teammates.
I will know."
I'm calling Shauna.
Good idea.
Soft, dark music
[Taissa] Hey, I'm with Natalie.
You need to get here.
Travis is dead, and
She says she already knows.
[Natalie] What? How?
Misty called her.
That conniving, poodle-haired
little fucking freak?
Shauna, get here now!
We've got a big problem.
Disorienting, cacophonous music
