[GASPS]
Oh, my God.
Adam Martin? You probably killed him.
You didn't get me. But nice try.
You were right
about the thing.
[CHIMING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hi, Jeff.
What's this?
Nice try, lying to my partner
about how we slept together.
Where is Shauna anyway?
A spa with a few of
her, uh, girlfriends.
We have a lot to discuss here,
but out in public is not the place.
Something guided you all here.
What exactly are you suggesting?
We give it what it always wants.
One of us.
In one of these cups
is a phenobarbital solution.
It is quick and it is painless.
- If I die
- No, you're not gonna.
Don't waste my body.
We need to find a way to stay alive.
And it can't be her.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[GRUNTING]
- Run!
- [SCREAMING]
There's a place, the
others don't know about it.
- I can take you there.
- [NATALIE] Javi! No!
[MUFFLED] Natalie!
- [MISTY] Natalie!
- [JAVI] Natalie!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
The wilderness chose.

[LOTTIE] We don't get to decide.
It chooses.
It won't stop
until it gets what it wants.
- [OVERLAPPING SHOUTING]
- You can't do this.
Stop, stop, just stop, just, um,
put it down.
If we really want to give
it what it's asking for
we have to do it the way we used to.
We should give it a hunt.
- [GASPS]
- Oh, wow.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
- You can't be serious.
- [SHAUNA] Lottie's right.
Whatever it is that we
communed with out there
it's still in us.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
Yes. Yes, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I knew I wasn't the only
one who felt this way.
No, no.
Of-of course you're not.
[MOUTHS]
Of course that's what this is.
We have to stop fighting it.
Exactly, yes.
Yes, and if-if we are
gonna give it an offering,
we have to do this right.
Yeah, we'll, um
we need masks and-and weapons.
Yeah, and, what, a deck of
cards with a single queen in it?
That's right.
Lottie.
You need to make sure
that none of your people
- are here for this, okay?
- Yes, of course.
This is just about us.
Yes, I, I, uh
I will make sure that
they all stay away.
The woods will be ours tonight.
- Yes.
- Tonight.
[DOOR OPENS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- What?
Why are you humoring her?
- She's homicidal.
- [SHAUNA] Exactly.
I just bought us all some time
to figure out what to do with her.
- You're welcome.
- Considering her history,
it probably wouldn't be that difficult
- to have her committed again.
- [TAISSA] That's it.
She's a danger to herself and others.
We just keep it calm and discreet.
As a medical professional, I can
- easily call her treating physician.
- No.
She wanted us to play Russian roulette
with poisoned fucking oolong.
We can't just hospitalize
her and call it a day.
- I agree.
- What?
Yeah. Why do you agree?
Because this isn't just
about her mental illness.
We all know what she
went through out there
because we all went through it, too.
Yeah, except we got over it.
She thinks it's talking to her again.
Have you all forgotten where that leads?

Misty.
Why was Travis screaming?
Because
we're going to eat Javi.
What?
It's okay.
We didn't even kill him
exactly.
- How?
- Look.
I told them what you said to me.
How you didn't want to go to waste.
But
we need you, Lottie.
So
we drew cards.
And whoever got the queen
A-Anyway,
uh, Natalie, Natalie drew it.
But then
during the chase,
Javi-Javi died, so
- Misty
- It's okay.
This is good.
We have food now.
No, Misty.
I never meant
I didn't want this.
How could you let them?
How could I?
Lottie.
You started this.
It's done.
And it's going to save all of our lives.
So you better not start making
people feel bad about it now.
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
[ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC]
Lottie's pleased with
the wilderness's choice.
She says Javi will save us.
Shauna.

No.

I'm sorry.

Misty? Misty?
Walter?
What are you doing here?
Well, I came to help you.
[CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
I really just don't feel
good about this plan.
Van, Lottie's sick.
But she isn't.
Or if she is, then so are you.
Tai, we have all felt it
in our own way.
Maybe we can reach her.
We tried.
Well, then we need to try again.
Do you really think that being locked up
in some psych ward is gonna help her?
Would it help you?
We handle this ourselves.
We protect each other.
Didn't we all swear we would?

I mean, we would need fake passports.
A bunch, probably, and
you know, we could never

or even google ourselves ever again.
Do you google yourself a lot?
My point is, just disappearing,
it's not as easy as they
make it look on TV, Callie.
So what's your solution?
Let Mom just go to jail?
I No I-I don't know.
Okay?
[SIGHS] You know, I saw her almost
shoot a guy the other day.
Wait, Mom has a gun?
No, no. It wasn't hers. She just,
she just took it off this carjacker.
She doesn't have it anymore.
I made her leave it with me.
Wait, look.
All right, this is it.
So, you have a gun?
No. No, I didn't say that.
It's in a safe place.
Just, uh, forget I mentioned it, okay?
D-Don't open that.
Whoa.
This is where you sent Mom?
Um, let's
uh, find another way in.
[TIRES SCREECH]
Think they saw our faces?
I don't think so.
I wonder what's up.
[ACOLYTE] Hi.
Well
this place seems fun.
Hi.
I need to talk to you.
Something's happening tonight.
And I need you to leave
while you still can.
What are you talking about? What ?
What's happening tonight?
Please.
Just go.
- Natalie
- Get yourself some regular clothes.
Go have a life.
You don't have to be
one of these people.
Just go, okay?
[SIGHS]
I appreciate
you trying to teach me
[SIGHS] forgiveness.
It's a nice idea.

[NATALIE] Coach.
[GASPS]
- Where have you been?
- Natalie.
What happened?
O-Okay, okay, okay, listen.
I figured out
where Javi was hiding, all right?
I-I think that you and I together
could probably survive the winter.
Hey, do you hear me?
You don't have to stay here.
You're not like the rest of these girls.
Actually, I'm worse.
How can you say that?
I let him die in my place.
It was supposed to be me.
You're a good person, Coach.
You really don't belong in this place.
You should be ashamed.
Well, I'm not.
The fact that you can even say that
I'm not ashamed, Travis.
I'm glad I'm alive.
Just like you are.
And I don't think that
any of us who are still here
should feel ashamed of that.
Ever.
Let your brother save you,
Travis.

went through out here
don't you owe him at least that?

- [HUMMING]
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
How did you get in here?
I'm calling the police.
[STAMMERS] The thing is, sir,
sir, I am the police. Okay?
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, yeah.
Listen, we're just here to
ask a couple of questions.
I'm sorry, I'm just
You're like an honest-to-God detective?
Yeah. Yeah, it's, uh,
it's not really that
unusual. What-what we
You see, I'm a detective,
too. Not like you.
Alas, I'm a lifelong asthmatic.
But I am a citizen detective.
- Have you heard of us?
- No.
It's a wonderful community,
very tight-knit
Oh, my gosh.
My manners.
You haven't even told me yet
why it is that you are here.
Hot cocoa?
[CHUCKLES] Sure.
Actually, let me guess.
Shauna Sadecki.
That's right.
Shauna.
She got here a few days ago.
You know, she's not the only one.
There's practically a coven of them.
All up to no good.
Hmm.
You're being awfully judgy about Mom,
considering this all started thanks
to your lame attempt at blackmail.
Hey, maybe those sketchy loan
people also do fake passports.
The American family
is crumbling, Callie.
You try making a living in sectionals.
- Dad.
- What? What?
The money exchange wasn't on the books.
[QUIETLY] Shit.
Go find your mother.
- What? What are you gonna do?
- I'm going to take care of this.
What does that mean?
It means I have a plan,
Callie, so just go.
- Dad.
- Callie.
You need to leave this to me, okay?
Go.
Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
[KEVYN] Sorry, th-this
Jessica Roberts person,
she was involved in all this how?
[WALTER] Mind you, my
methods aren't exactly
admissible in a court of law.
Oh, yeah? You'd get
along with my partner.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Whoa.
Jeff.
You followed us here?
[SIGHS]
Only 'cause you wouldn't
tell us where your wife was.
You mind?
Of course. Excuse me.
You okay, man? 'Cause
you're looking a little
I want you,
I want you to place me under arrest.
What?
I did it.
I killed Adam Martin.
Jeff, what the fuck are you doing?
It was a crime of passion.
I, uh
I-I found out that Shauna
was sleeping with him,
and I went to confront him and
and I wound up killing the guy.
[SIGHS] Jesus.
I couldn't tell her.
I couldn't tell her.
I did it to protect her.
I did it to protect our family.
Oh, shit.
Kevyn? Oh, Kevyn.
Kevyn. Hey, Kev.
Kevyn. What the ?
Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck!
Oh. [GASPS] Shit.
Hiya. Me again.
- I-I didn't
- Phenobarbital.
Huh.
Surprisingly fast-acting.
What?
Walter Tattersall, friend of Misty's.
It's okay if you haven't
heard about me yet.
- Jeff Sadecki, I presume.
- I
That was a beautiful false confession.
I could see it came out of real love.
Are you, like, one of the cult people?
Oh, no. You want to
help me move this body?
What? I
Jeffrey.
Does anyone call you that?
Yeah, my mom.
[STAMMERS] No, she she doesn't.
Hey.
It's okay, buddy.
I know this is a lot.
But I'm a friend and
everything's gonna be fine.
I just need your help now.
So grab those legs for me.
- Can you do that?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. One, two, a-three.

Hello?

How's it going?
You okay?
You seem a little lost.
What are you doing here?
Same as you, just looking for your mom.

I'm gonna have to ask you
to keep your hands where I can see them.

[PHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
[EXHALES]
Are we sure that
everyone's in their beds?
[LOTTIE] Yes, I've made certain of it.
I'd like to shuffle those some more.
Of-of course.
[SIGHS]
Hey, Lottie, um, can we talk about this?
Y-You can trust us, you know.
Right, Van?
Shauna.
That's probably enough.
Van.
[SIGHS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]
[EXHALES]
I'll start.
Is this what you wanted to happen?
[SCOFFS]
Taissa?
Are you refusing the draw?
Because you know what happens if you do.
Again.
Again!
[PULSING MUSIC]
[HAUNTING MUSIC]
Hey.
Come on.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Shauna.
It's up to you.
The way we used to, you can
you can submit.
Or you can run.
Uh, okay, time-out.
We're not really doing this, are we?
Okay.
So you've all actually lost your minds.
You know there's no "it," right?
It was just us.
Is there a difference?
Shauna?
Are you running? Is that your choice?
Oh, fuck off.

Kevyn. Kevyn, are you in here?
What the fuck? Kevyn!
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
- Kevyn!
- [ALARM CHIRPS]
Fuck! No!
Who the fuck are you?!
I'm the guy who's about
to give you a choice.
Now, imagine how impressed
the Wiskayok police force
will be when they realize
their new recruit nearly lost his life
uncovering his partner's involvement
in a sordid police corruption scandal.
Sorry, come again?
[STAMMERS] It's called a narrative.
Try and "yes, and" a little here.
So when the police dig
in, they'll discover
a wealth of bank and
phone evidence connecting
your partner here not only
to the murder of Adam Martin,
the investigation of which
he was trying to impede,
but also to the recent death of a known
political operative, Jessica Roberts.
It's easy to see why Kevyn
here would stop at nothing
to prevent this from coming out.
You'll be a real hero to the community.
Unless you'd rather all those bank
and phone records pointed to you.
- Oh.
- [SIRENS WAILING]
I've taken the liberty of
contacting the local authorities.
Uh, until you're ready to talk to them,
you might want to close that.
Oh, God.

you can put the gun down.
She's so powerful.
Please put the gun down!
But she was going to kill you.
[SHUSHES]
It's here.
It's with us now.
Misty, where the fuck
is the psych team?!
They're not coming.
- We called them off.
- What?
- It was Van's idea.
- [GROANS]
What the f ? How could you?
It's not right.
She's like this because of us.
Everyone, listen.
What do we hear?
[HAUNTING MUSIC]
Lottie.
Hey.
[MARI] I'm so happy you're okay.
[AKILAH] Hey, Van?
Could you tell us a story?
Maybe The Truth About Cats and Dogs?
Or While You Were Sleeping again.
The Princess Bride.
What about something
you haven't heard before?
Once upon a time,
there was a place called
the wilderness.
It was beautiful
and full of life,
but it was also lonely
and violent
and misunderstood.
So, one day,
the wilderness built a house.
It waited.
Summers came.
Winters came
I never wanted to be in charge.
It chose me, I think, because
because I was the only
one who knew how to listen.
But I can't hear it anymore.
I think that's because it
doesn't need me anymore.
You all learned how to hear it.
To feel it.
Maybe what it wants for us
now is a leader who can help us
survive for the rest of
the time we're out here.
And that isn't me.
Lottie, no.
You're wrong. We need you.
The wilderness chose who fed us.
It's already chosen who should lead us.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Natalie.
You believe me now, don't you?
It's still with us. It
it never left.
Shauna
how can you think that it wasn't there
when you killed your lover?
And, Misty, when you kept
that woman in your basement.
And, Van, I saw it in
your eyes just then, I did.
And-and, Tai, Tai, it brought
you to her so that she would bring you
here to us, and it was in you, Nat.
It was in you, even when you denied it,
especially then.
You were always its favorite.
Why can't you ever stop?!
[LISA] Don't move!
How else do we explain
what happened out there?
We tried to kill you.
And it wouldn't let us.
