(birds chirping)

(soft footsteps) (Anson knocking)

(crows cawing)

(peaceful music) (door buzzing)

- Hi, checking in. We have a reservation.

- [Receptionist] Last name?

- What was that?

- I think she was working out that we're a couple.

- Or maybe we're just a lot younger than the usuals.

I think people come here to really soak, like medically.

(birds chirping)

- It's really fancy here. - It was a deal.

This weekend's for you. It's for us.

- It's really nice here.

It's really pretty. Thank you.

(sirens wailing)

- Can you put that away?

- I'm just checking if there's anything about the sirens,

this can't be normal. - It must be fires.

What's the AQI?

- Unhealthy for sensitive groups.

(birds chirping) (water bubbling)

Hey, hey, let me see. Open.

- [Sara] No, it's not weird,

some people actually like being social.

I'm Sarah, this is Jed.

- I'm Anson. Yeah, and this is Cliff.

- [Sara] Cliff. Sick, how do you know each other?

- We've been dating for three years.

We met in New York.

- Yeah, nice. We met in college, Vasser,

but we weren't really friends.

Actually I thought he was kind of a dick,

but like all our other friends are dating now

and he got me to come out here

and we're like giving it a try, fuck it.

Whoa, do you guys have a kid?

- No that's Cliff's nephew, Ollie.

- [Sara] I was gonna say like how old even are you?

- Yeah, I know I'm 28 and-

- [Sara] Oh, I thought you were younger.

Wait where'd you go to school?

- I was in a hospital.

We didn't call it a hospital, but that's what it was.

I was living with my sister, helping out with Ollie a lot,

and I kept thinking

what a weird time to have a kid you know?

I mean, what's gonna be left of the world in a few years.

I got really convinced that he was gonna die somehow.

It got so bad my sister asked me to move out, which I did.

I hadn't seen him in weeks,

and twist he did die. Crazy fluke thing.

And I started to think that

just by thinking about it so much, I had caused,

I invited something, and then I met the Devil.

- He's messing with you.

Sorry, he has a really dark sense of humor.

(soft footsteps)

(insects chirping) (crow cawing)

- Are you mad?

- I can't believe she asked where we went to college.

(water dripping)

(deep rumbling)

- I don't think I can do anything tonight.

- That's okay.

- When I'm gone I mean, if I'm not there at night,

do you still sleep on the right side of the bed?

- What?

- If I'm not there do you spread out?

- No, that's your side.

It's also, you know, book and food and laptop storage.

That's your side.

I'm so sorry.

(loud thudding) (lights clicking)

Was that an earthquake?

- It sounded like something heavy falling down the stairs.

- I don't even think there are stairs here.

- No, I just mean that's what it sounded like.

(eerie bass music)

- Does the room look bigger to you?

I mean, does it even feel like the same room?

- [Cliff] What are you doing?

- I'm not doing anything.

- Why are you trying to scare me?

Why would you of all people- - Cliff.

- [Cliff] The power's been out for 30 seconds.

- Okay.

(sirens approaching) (eerie music continues)

Hello?

Cliff?

(wet squelching) (discordant whispering)

(Anson breathing rapidly)

(sirens wailing in the distance)

- How many times have I asked you

to take this photo off your phone

where we have to look at it all day, every day?

I can't keep doing this with you.

We can't start this all over again.

- I'm not starting anything.

- [Woman] Are you praying?

But you do believe in God?

- Sorry, are you a guest here?

- [Woman] No, I just thought I'd drop in.

I like to check in from time to time.

- Are you the owner?

- More of a manager, sometimes event planner.

(sirens wailing) (unsettling music)

How about the Devil?

You don't believe in the Devil either?

- Do you know why the sirens won't stop?

Are the fires close?

- There are no fires, that's just the ecology.

You're stepping on my toes.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

You're learning.

You should go to Ringing Rocks tomorrow.

if the air is better.

- [Anson] What?

- [Woman] It's a whole field of stones,

and when you strike them,

(woman snaps) (lights thunking)

they ring like a bell.

- I should get back, I shouldn't leave him alone.

- Cliff's a beautiful dancer.

Do you think he killed that baby?

(music intensifies)

- Have you been to a place called Ringing Rocks?

- [Cliff] We'll look out for each other now.

(Cliff breathing heavily)

I'll look out for you.

(unsettling music) (sirens wailing)
