Two Sentence Horror Stories (2017) s03e03 Episode Script
Toxic
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
All right everybody, listen up.
Our boy Pete is going to
Yale next week on a full ride.
PETE: Thanks, Jeremy.
And what does he decide to
do with his last weekend?
Hang out here at the Jam Fest
with his dumbass four best friends.
We have to be dumbasses
to camp out in
the "Woods of the Damned".
Come on Wes,
we've been talking about
coming here since we were 12.
Pete's right. This place is a legend.
We grew up hearing about people
who would spend the whole night
in these woods and
just come out screaming.
Or were never heard from again.
They say when there's a full moon,
the bodies of those who never
made it out still roam here.
And if you listen real quietly,
you can hear them.
[IMITATES GHOST]
[SCREAMING]
Geez!
[LAUGHING]
WES: Oh Petey, the look on your face.
It's the classic horror movie freakout.
Brendan, what the hell is this?
It's champagne mixed with honey.
Jesus.
So back in the 7th grade,
I dared Pete to eat this whole
bar of ghost pepper chocolate.
And he started sweating,
the snot started
pouring out of his nose.
And our love of pranks began.
Our last weekend with Pete
and you boys make him sticky?
Hey, you wanna rinse off?
Yeah. I
Do me a solid and use
the outdoor shower.
I'm not quite done with the camper yet.
[DISTANT CHATTER]
[TWIG SNAPS]
[LEAVES RUSTLING]
[SCREAMING]
[LAUGHING]
BRENDAN: Gotcha!
[LAUGHING]
Pete, I'm sorry. But your reaction?
Classic Petey.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[NERVOUSLY] Good one, guys.
That's a prank for the ages.
Fellas.
Now that the ladies are gone,
why don't we do what we came here to do?
Get some quality time
with our boy, Pete?
Oh, dude.
I was hoping to meet up with
that girl I met at the festival.
We can all hang out tomorrow.
You boys ready?
Uploading our final Pete prank in
- three, two, one
- Brendan, stop!
You can't put that online.
And now it's deleted.
The hell, AJ! Why'd you delete it?!
Guys, we've been drinking all day.
You know we don't post
anything to social media
when we're this stupid.
Anybody in the mood for some pizza?
I know a place that delivers out here.
If you're buying, I'm in.
Yeah sure. Whatever.
You okay?
Yeah. I, I just don't want
anyone seeing that video.
If the people at Yale see it,
I'm going to start off as a joke.
Just like grade school and high school.
Wes is being super douchey.
Yeah. But that's Wes all the time.
No. Like he's been weird
since I got into Yale.
That's 'cause you're getting out
and his dad is pressuring him
to enlist like his brothers.
Pete, you're our friend
but you are different.
Do you really want to be like us?
A bunch of losers drinking
beer at the corner dive
and bitching about our dead-end lives?
No, man.
I got plans.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Big brain.
[FOOTSTEPS]
[STICK SNAPS]
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Stop!
Say hi to your livestream, Wes.
[GUYS LAUGHING]
[LAUGHING] AJ: The look on your face!
Dude, did you wet yourself?
Gimme the damn phone!
Wes!
I'm just messing with you.
The phone's not even on.
Back off.
JEREMY: Guys, guys don't do this.
[FIGHTING GRUNTS]
Wes, Wes.
[FIGHTING GRUNTS]
Watch out!
Guys, stop!
[SQUELCHING]
[GASPING]
Oh, my god! AJ!
Guys, we gotta call the
cops and an ambulance!
- This is your fault!
- Get off me!
Shh, listen.
[DISTANT LAUGHING]
People are coming! What do we do?
Grab the tent and get in the camper.
Dude. We need to figure out what to do.
We can't stay here.
[DISTANT CHATTER]
What are you doing?
Getting us the hell out of here!
Slow down!
- Watch it!
- Look out!
[SCREAMING]
What?
What the hell?
Dammit Pete!
Why are you always such a crybaby?
It was AJ!
He opened his eyes.
- What?
- Brendan saw it too.
It was a reflex.
Dead bodies do it all the time on TV.
I've seen it.
Okay, we gotta call the cops!
No one meant to kill AJ, okay?
They can't arrest us for an accident!
Are you kidding?!
The cops will take
one look at our records
and they won't care
whether we did it or not.
A bunch of kids from
the crap side of town.
You can bet they're going to blame us
for what happened to AJ.
So what, we just sit around
in the Woods of the Damned
to become another ghost story?
Not unless we want to spend
the rest of our lives in prison
for something we didn't do.
The tire's completely flat.
Jeremy.
You and Pete fix the tire,
Brendan and I will bury AJ's body.
No, I'm coming with you.
I want to be the one to help bury him.
Shoot! What about his mom?
She's going to notice that he's gone.
Not for a while.
She ran off with some
guy again down in Florida.
What?
AJ hasn't heard from
her in over a month.
That's why he took that bar-backing job.
He needed the cash to survive.
AJ was one of us, but he's dead now.
We're the ones that have to survive.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Stop here.
We'll dig there.
We're far enough from the road.
No one will come out this way.
Grab some of those branches.
We'll cover the grave after we're done.
[GHOSTLY VOICE] Wes.
What happened?
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Do you think this is funny?
This is sick! You moved him!
Do you seriously think
I would move AJ's body
just to freak you out?
He was my best friend.
Why do you think that?
Because he was nice to you?
He was just as sick as we
were with your Ivy League crap.
You wouldn't even
party with us last year.
Because I was studying!
I thought you guys understood that.
We need to call the cops!
Okay. Come clean about
everything that's happened.
You breathe a word about what
happened here tonight to anyone,
and I'll tell the cops that
hiding AJ's body was your idea.
Understand?
[TWIG SNAPS]
- Did you hear that?
- What?
Stop freaking me out!
[GHOSTLY VOICE] Wesley.
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
[GHOSTLY VOICE] Wesley.
I'm out of here!
You kidding?
The tire's still not fixed.
What the hell have they
been doing this whole time?
And where the hell are they?
Oh, my God!
Dude, shut up.
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Brendan and Jeremy must
have thought they pulled off
the prank of the century
when they dug AJ up.
No. They wouldn't do that.
Trust me. They're messing with
Brendan?
This is not funny.
You okay?
[SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING]
Went looking for you guys in the woods.
Why is AJ here?
You guys were supposed to bury him.
You killed Brendan!
What? What the hell
are you talking about?
Brendan's dead.
What happened?
Did one of your stupid
pranks go sideways?
That was Brendan and
you guys were the ones
that took the pranks too far.
Hello? You kids all right?
Just a busted tire, ma'am.
We're good.
Pete, go clean up the camper.
[WHISPERS] What?
I can't hide two bodies.
You also can't tell a lie
to save your mother's life.
Now go.
[PANICKED BREATHING]
WES: Thank you so much ma'am,
but we already called for a tow.
GUARD GRIFFIN: What were you boys doing?
This tire's completely busted.
You boys been drinking?
[LAUGHS] No, no.
You know you're not
supposed to be in this area.
No, ma'am.
Uh, we're celebrating our
friend going off to college
and we just took a wrong turn.
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Well, they usually keep the tools
to change the tire under one
of the seats in the camper.
Uh, actually officer,
we came out to the Woods of the Damned
because we heard about
all the weird stories.
Maybe, maybe you have some to share?
Well, you know
[GHOSTLY VOICE] Pete.
Is your friend okay?
He's just a little
rattled after the accident.
I think I better check on him.
I'm so sorry.
You boys are sure that
tow truck is coming,
I'll be on my way.
We're sure.
Nice job, Pete.
Considering the whole situation
is his fault, he owed us.
Shut the hell up, Wes!
Ever since I got into Yale,
you've been a total jerk!
We all would have been better off
if you had died instead of AJ!
You think I don't know that?
[GROWLING]
No! Guys!
[BONES CRACKING]
Pete, come on!
This is my fault.
I should've stopped hanging
out with you guys years ago.
What?
Yeah, I just wanted to hang out
and have a good time this
weekend like we used to
before we all got obsessed
with these stupid pranks.
Maybe they were funny
when we were younger,
but then they got mean and demeaning!
I guess somewhere along the line
it felt good to make
someone else feel bad.
Especially when it was you.
AJ never treated me like that.
You know, he was basically
the only person in my life
that liked me.
I need you to see something.
How is this online?
AJ uploaded it.
The entire prank was his idea.
No. AJ was my best friend.
He stood up to Wes for me.
Think you're the only one that
worked hard for a better future?
AJ worked just as hard
but you got the scholarship
and he didn't.
What are you doing?
Calling the cops. Maybe we can
still find a way out of this.
No!
Pete, what the hell?
We're not calling the cops!
We're going to find the road,
we're going to follow it home,
and I'm going to go to Yale
and finally get the life that I deserve!
Dude, you're tripping.
[GRUNTS]
I'm not going down because of you!
No, please!
All the sacrifices I've made!
[THWACK]
I'm getting out!
[MUTTERING] No, no, no. No, no, no.
[WHISPERING] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[PANICKED BREATHING]
Please let me go.
Please, just
[GROWLING]
They said they had a tow
coming last night.
Camper's empty.
Don't know if they got picked
up or headed off into the woods.
Boo!
[LAUGHS]
Oh, this is awesome.
I'm going to scare the
crap out of my roommate
when I get home tonight.
I owe him for the stunt
he pulled on me last week.
Put it away!
I want to finish this
sweep and get out of here.
All right everybody, listen up.
Our boy Pete is going to
