What the hell happened to her?
She was hung up in a tree by her feet.
She had a bag put over her head.
Her neck was slit and
the bag was filled with blood.
She drowned in her own blood?
We left her out there at his mercy.

One of you is a killer.

My Shirley,
boiling chefs to death
and ripping out a woman's heart?
You're clearly out of your goddamn mind.
I suspect each and every one of you.
How long have you been planning this?
I got to admit, I was a little shocked
to find out that this
was happening to me again.
But
JP's gun has provided
a little bit of clarity.
We're all in shock.
Even us first timers.
I don't know
why you think you're special.
Because I've been
through this shit before, Andy!
Because I know at least
one of you is a murderer.
You think I wanted
to come to this freak show?
Ruby begged me, she paid me a fortune,
and I only said yes a couple days ago,
and I didn't have time to plan anything.
And I wouldn't have
because I'm not insane.
- You all have motivations.
- No, I don't.
Blake, I don't, I don't.
Me either.
We didn't know you people from Adam
before we turned down that road.
Paige, look.
You're a frustrated
failed scream queen
who believes that the movies
made about the murders
are cause for everything
wrong in your life.
How does that make me a killer?
Well, gee, I don't know.
Maybe take out the people responsible
for keeping those murders alive.
Suddenly, your infamy goes away.
That's the most convoluted motivation
I've ever heard, and Blake
You know me.
Not the scream queen me, the real me.
Do I seem at all like a real killer?
Really?
Honestly, no.
[Thunder rumbles]
That's why it's a good cover.
And then we have the professor here.
A genius.
Tell me
how fucked up does a guy have to be
to write an entire PhD
about a famous mass murderer
and never shut up about it?
I mean, you just drone
on and on endlessly.
You're an obsessive
who one day decided
that he just had to know.
He had to study it
all the way to actual murder.
Please. Please.
And then we got Floyd and Shirley.
- Oh, here we go.
- Yeah, here we go.
You two show up here out of nowhere.
You saw that storm. We had no choice.
I don't buy that.
Not for one second. I mean, Floyd
You're a hunter, right?
I mean, you basically bragged about it.
You have a temper that
you can barely keep a lid on.
We've all seen it.
Crow!
He told me about how you threatened him
out in the woods!
I did not. Andy was there.
Crow told me that, too!
I-it was before I arrived.
Thanks, buddy.
What happened to Crow?
Right. Right.
Nails hammered into his skull.
Does that sound familiar?
And Shirley
you're smart.
You seem likable.
But you're with Floyd, so unfortunately,
there must be something
seriously wrong with you.
Oh, eat me.
I don't buy your sweet
little retiree RV act.
I think you're full of shit.
But what you believe
is enough to execute us
- without any actual proof?
- No, no, no, no.
What I know is that I have four
highly-motivated potential killers
sitting right in front of me.
And the only person
that I know for a fact
is innocent here
is me.
But I don't know that.
Anyone else here know that?
So, other than your word,
how do we know
that you're not the psycho
who's been taking us out one by one?
Because I could kill all of you
right now if I wanted to!
Wake up!
Look, look, look, Blake
Blake's not wrong.
No, it has to be one of us.
Just as long as it's not you, right?
I bet you'd love to help him decide.
No, I don't need any help.
Right, but you do need proof.
Exactly.
You're basing everything on feelings.
If someone's mean, they're the killer.
If they're too nice,
you don't believe them.
You don't know any of that for sure.
Which is why doing this
this way is wrong.
It is insane, is what it is.
No, it's not insane!
It totally makes sense.
There's no boogeyman
hiding out in the woods,
okay, the call
is coming from inside the house.
But Blake, please.
Please, you're scared.
And guessing just as much as we are.
Maybe.
But I have to do something.
Because you know what?
You know what
every knife wound that I have,
you know what every scar reminds me of,
is that the only way to proceed
is if it's every man for himself.
Because it is.
It always has been.

How?
Floyd's gonna explain it all.
What the hell is
your thing with me, man?
Is it just cause I-I don't talk
or dress like any of you, or
- is it because I made you cry?
- No.
No, simpler than that.
You're the most dangerous person
here by far,
and most likely to hurt
everybody else, so
confess and you'll save everybody else.
You're the maniac here.
You're the one who's got
four innocent people
tied up to chairs, waving a gun around.
- What the hell have I done?
- Exactly.
Tell me. I'm all ears.
Why would I marry a killer?
Yeah, what kind of killer drives around
with his middle-aged wife and an old RV?
Killing duos. You wouldn't be the first.
I can't confess
to something I didn't do.
You sure about that?
Okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, Jesus. Blake.

The guy who's probably been
killing everybody this weekend?
Can you reach my back pocket?
I think I can. Why?
I have a pen knife in there.
I took it for protection.

One of them did this to you.
Killing them is gonna prevent
that from happening to me.
That's the only way to survive.
Right?
Right?
So
I should just do it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Have you had time to rethink things?
Look. Floyd and I saved up
our whole lives for this trip.
We didn't want to be here.
No, sir.
I wish to God we'd never
driven to this awful place.
We should've taken
our chances out on the road.
We don't want to be here. We never did.
We suffered just as much
as you and everyone else here,
and we didn't even get a stupid invite!
Don't punish us for that!
What are you gonna do
after you kill Floyd?
Just move on to one of us
until someone's stupid enough
to say they did it?
And then and then what?
Just kill them, too?
Blake.
The silent shit
That's scary.
Do you hear that?
Does she sound like a killer to you?
Do any of us?
I'm just here to pay my rent.
I wanted nothing to do with this
place and those awful murders.
I wanted to put it all
behind me, and I started to.
And I'm a prof, Blake.
I'm a writer.
My life is boring,
and I like it that way.
How the hell am I supposed
to be the killer
when Kawayan and I fought him off?
Did I slice myself? It
It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah. You've, um
you've all got a lot of really,
really, really good excuses.
They're not excuses.
Have you been drinking?
Just, like, half a bottle of vodka.
Perfect.
Look, you sleep it off, man, okay?
Think things through when
you're in a better headspace.
Yeah, or or, Blake
Why don't you just leave us here?
We can stay tied up,
and and you can go.
Yeah, go, go, go! Go get the police.
Please.
