Hell Motel (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

Floyd, darling.
Wake up.
The day we've been waiting for
for 30 years is finally here.
We did it. You and me.
Mm-hm.
Will the help of someone else.
Someone's gonna die.
You're killing both those assholes
Mm-mm, Floyd. Or this.
We need nine bodies and
one of them is still out there.
We need to retrieve it before a
pack of coyotes
or wolves can do it.

What's that?
Crazy bastard doing a striptease?
You get hypothermia,
body thinks it's burning up,
and you start ripping your clothes off.
Huh.
- Bodies are weird.
- [Chuckles] Yeah.
Sure are.
But one thing they don't do
generally is explode.
♪
God damn it.
Well, we know one thing for sure.
Blake's not the killer.
How are we going to take
him back to the motel?
And will that sludge even work?
We'll just gather up what
we can and make the best of it.
His essence is here,
even if his body isn't.
Wolves scavenged most of him.
Hey, what are you guys looking at?
We were out looking for Blake and
[Sharp gasp]
How how did this happen?
See that snowblower sitting right there?
We banished him, and he was murdered.
Well, hey, he stabbed me
and then shoved a gun in our
faces and then shot at us all.
Right, I know, I know, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, but it's still awful.
The thing to focus on now is
the fact that someone got to him
before the wolves did.
[Birds cawing in distance]
Was it you?
I thought the cold was gonna be enough.
I didn't expect someone
to take it further.
Where's Andy?
He's inside, making his breakfast.
- He he wouldn't do this.
- Mm.
I was with Floyd all night.
Were you with Andy?
No. We slept in our own rooms.
I know you two have gotten close.
Real close.
- But, honey
- Watch your six, as they say.
[Sighs]
What are we gonna do about Blake?
Well, we can't leave him out here,
not with all the scavengers around.
No, it isn't right.
Uh, I'm gonna go back to the shed,
grab a wheelbarrow,
a couple shovels and a tarp,
and we'll take as much of this poor guy
back to the motel as we can.

Oh.
That does not look good.
Wish we had some antibiotics.
It's starting to look infected.
I don't need 'em.
After tonight, Baphomet
will see to all our needs.
What?
Barring the unlikely event of
some unknown person out there,
one of those two is our killer.
And as long
as they're allowed to roam free,
the ceremony is in danger.
- There's an easy fix.
- Hm?
Let me go kill 'em. Kill 'em both.
We need one alive for the invocation.
Okay.
I'll go chop off Andy's head
and we'll bleed Paige out at midnight.
Hey. Trust me.
I'd rather the killer be Paige.
The killer, whether it's Andy or Paige
is not someone to be trifled with.
Agreed. So
what do we do?
We bring one of them over to our side.
Which one?
Paige. She'd make
a better offering to Baphomet,
and one could argue that she's been
preparing her whole life to be that.
And how do we make her see the light?
By giving her irrefutable proof
that Andy is a Satan
worshiping psychopath.

[Gasps]
Sorry, I
I shouldn't have just walked in.
It's okay, it's okay.
I was outside with
Floyd and Shirley, and, um,
- and we found Blake.
- Oh.
I guess we knew the cold would get him.
- It wasn't the cold.
- He was killed?
Left in pieces.
I'm not sure I'll ever get all
of his blood off of me, actually.
Hey. You should have gotten me.
There's not really anything you
or anyone else could have done.
Well, how did he
Sorry. If it's too hard,
you don't have to tell me.
Snowblower.
God.
[Paige laughs]
It's not funny in the
slightest. It's just, um
Oh, shh. It's okay.
You're in shock,
that's all.
The latest wave of slashers hidden
in the speciousness of elevated horror,
the glut of salacious true
crime podcasts and docudramas,
the alleged art film credibility
of horror extremism,
and the bald-faced
opportunism of gross out horror
as social media sanctioned dare.
What becomes painfully clear
is that hoary but truthful trope
of the last 70 years
consumers are being desensitized
to violence
and its awful and lasting consequences.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
by your returning again and again,
to the facile point
that violent entertainment
desensitizes us.
From the Romans paying to see
Christians ripped apart by lions
to the US public
executions up to the 1930s,
the constancy of these acts
has guaranteed the kind of
simple minded drudgery
to be found in your thesis.
If you'd gone deeper into your topic,
if you thought about
what drives this hunger
for an entertainment,
perhaps even you would have stumbled
onto some new avenues of interrogation.
The movies that you cite,
which I had to endure
in order to adjudicate
your thesis defense,
are unequivocal trash,
full of two dimensional
characters so grotesque
and idiotic one would hazard
they deserved to die.
Will you be advocating
for the real world suffering
of Wile E coyote next?
- This field has been barely
- No, no, no, no, no.
Turning your gaze to the simplistic
and righteous gutter that you
pretend to critique
does nothing but reveal your inane
and very questionable
obsession with that very gutter.
And I'm afraid the gutter
is where your thesis belongs.
I regret to inform you that you
have failed your PhD defense.
I can't approve it.
And I know no one else will.
You might find a lower tier
college or night school
that will employ you, should you
feel compelled to teach.
But a full professorship here
is not in the cards.

So, should I put this all
in the dishwasher, or
really, what's the point?
You can just put it over there.
I'll take care of them.
No, no, I can I can
clean them off, I just, um
I'm just I-I don't know.
I don't know what I am.
Something on your mind, hon?
Everything's on your mind.
Floyd and me, too.
But you seem especially perturbed.
Everything okay with Andy?
If you ain't feeling safe,
you can just stick with us.
You suspect Andy,
Andy suspects you, I suspect everyone.
I mean, of course I do.
I don't actually know
who any of you truly are.
Right back at you, sister.
Of course, and and that's a problem.
Because until the cops or or
whoever get here and save us
this isn't over. We're all in danger.
Okay. Okay, let's
let's think this through logically, hm?
You were out in the woods with us alone.
Two against one.
If we were the killers, why wouldn't
we have taken advantage of that?
♪
Do you wanna to go through our stuff?
Won't take you very long,
because [chuckles]
most of it burned up in that RV.
As long as we can go through yours.
And Andy's, too. It's only fair.
I can't make that decision for him.
Good news is, you won't have to.

that'll be the writing on the wall.

He is an academic. It's

Okay.
If this is what he's studying,

because defiling a pure woman
weakens God."
Insane and misogynistic.
Oh, and an entire chapter on
how to disembowel a cat

- Okay.
I get you're freaked out now.
We found this in his dresser, Floyd.
I know, but if he hears us,
then he'll know that we know.
And we need the element
of surprise here,
'cause as normal
as that guy pretends to be,
he's one sick puppy.
What do we do?
I don't know, any spells in there
on how to take out a psycho?
Okay, no one's taking out anyone. Okay?
Honey, we have to do
something about this threat.
You were on the invite list. We weren't.
So you're going to be part of whatever
twisted plan he's been enacting.
But Andy and I are close, we
We made a real connection.
It means nothing.
Him and Kawayan were close,
and then he painted his bedroom
walls with that guy's blood.
- I know.
- Sick son of a bitch has been playing us all.
Okay, okay.
Do you think the three of us
could could take him,
overpower him, um, lock him up, maybe?
Maybe. If he wasn't prepared for it.
But you look at what he's done
to some of those big guys.
- Right.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Portia and Ruby, they they
took something for sleep.
Knocked them out.
The night he ripped out Portia's heart.
Okay, Ruby said they both
popped sleeping pills.
Safe. Clean.
Leaves him for the cops to sort out.
Okay. It's a good plan.
Who's gonna grab the pills?
Okay. I'll go.
And if Andy finds me, I'll tell him
that I was just looking for
rainproof clothes for the walk.
Sure. Now, be careful. Promise?
Yeah.

Oh, terrible isn't even the word.
But even at its worst,

that I wasn't going through this alone.

To friendship. [Mugs clink]
Look, if I met
Floyd and Shirley in the street,
I'd think they were just
a normal middle aged couple.
Exceedingly normal.
But maybe that's what
they want you to think,
to hide who they really are.
And who's that?
I don't know.
But this place, it's like a shrine,
to crazy people.
Maybe they heard about this weekend,

to come up here to,
