oh

It doesn't work.

The monkey's paw doesn't work.

The wishes, they go bad.

Always go back.

I'm a child of the fog and flame, born
again in the dead of night.

Just a child of the blood and pain, fed
by the desperate cries.

I've got a darkness inside that never
seems to go away.

Come alive when the sun goes down, run
from the light of day.

Everybody knows when the heat swim goes
and the devil is on his way. And I'm

coming with the help.

and they'll double up the hill.

God damn it. What the hell are you
supposed to be?

I'm capitalism.

My mom and dad say that's the real
monster.

Don't spend it all in one place.

Would it kill you to be nice to them?

Oh, cemeteries full of nice people.

Get unpacked okay?

Yes.

I hear a tone.

You want to be back, I'm back.

Doesn't mean you have to like it. We're
very proud of you, honey.

If your sister were here... She's not.

If you don't have a costume, you're
going to stand out. Mom, I'm 22.

I got it. I got it. Remember, this is
Rachel's play.

Your shotgun, so you just do what she
says.

There.

Spooky ghost.

Keep him safe.

Always.

Love you. Love you.

Good luck!

As I mark this time of equinox, may I
find the balance I desire and need in my

life.

light and dark, spirit and body, mind
and

soul.

I am blessed and have power within me.

Don't scream!

Where's your money?

I don't have it. Where's your purse?

You know, I can't see with this thing
on.

You didn't even look when you made the
eye holes.

I don't like it.

You don't like what?

I don't like you being too big to trick
or treat.

Rachel. You couldn't give me a few more
years of being 12 or 13?

Mom, I'm way too old for this.

What was that last one?

That Pokemon.

Stop.

Peekaboo, is that right? Pikachu.

And you know it's Pikachu.

I never thought we'd get that yellow off
of you.

Where is it?

Get her out of here.

Mom's denied me her backup. Just get her
out of here. I shouldn't.

Go, go, go.

Jesus.

Oh, you scared the shit out of me.

Nice, Mitchell.

Real nice.

Oh, mugging sweet old ladies in the
woods?

Not on my watch.

What? Am I going to have to kill you?

You don't want to dance that dance.

You sure?

I wouldn't.

Seriously, I wouldn't.

If you wanted to kill me, it would have
by now.

So come on, Rachel.

What do you really want to do?

I love looking at you like that.

You

know,

not to spoil the mood.

Oh, he says.

Spoiling the mood?

She's got to be suspicious.

You keep coming out here trying to find
me, and you keep coming home empty

-handed. She's old world, Mitch.

As long as she thinks the family's out
hunting, she's happy. I hate that word.

Happy?

Hunting.

Must be found, like, in a fixed point in
the tide of the roof of your truck.

If you don't hunt, you kill.

Oh, and what do you do?

Well, I kill, but I call it what it is.

Babe.

It's just been going on longer than
anyone can remember.

Things in the woods. Her family hunting
them.

Killing them.

That's the way it's always been.

There's a shit reason for doing
something.

Then maybe you shouldn't have put Elle
in a wheelchair.

That was my brother.

I didn't see you stopping.

Look, I get it.

Her kin, Rain, will have been helping
back in the day, but it's the new

millennium already. Fucking a death.

Oh. Is that what you're doing?

Adapting? Look, I'm just... I'm trying
to find a new way to do things.

Yours killing mine, mine killing yours.
What's the point of it all?

We have a chance right here, right now
to stop it.

I think that's worth a try for my kids
and yours.

It's not like flipping a switch.

I hear what you're saying, and I want
it.

We're leaving, Rachel.

We've stayed here too long already. It's
only a matter of time before the old

lady finds us.

We're all packed up, and we're heading
out tonight.

But I got room in the truck for you.

Mitch, I... I make you happy, don't I?

Let me keep making you happy.

I can't leave Dalton.

Well, take him with.

That boy doesn't have a killer in him.

Give him a chance to live a normal life.

A normal life?

With the two of us? I taught my kids
that having things doesn't mean you have

use them.

Well, I mean, it's Halloween.

Come with me.

Play.

Trick -or -treaters.

The truck gets out at midnight.

I got a seat for you and the boy.

I'll be there.

You're handling this pretty well.

I always knew there was something out in
those woods.

If it was going to show itself, sawing
was the night to do it.

It won't be there long.

That's a shame.

Bees are as much a part of our world as
we are.

Think it was a werewolf?

I was thinking werewolf. No, honey, the
moon is all wrong.

Waxing crescent. It's my understanding
wolfies only come out under a full moon.

You know a lot about this stuff, don't
you?

I've seen a few things.

Besides, it's so much better believing
than having doubt, don't you think?

Here we are.

Back here!

Where's Dalton?

We ran into a local.

She was in the way.

I just needed him to get her out of
there.

Find anything else?

Yeah, some dead guy.

Mugger, maybe.

I thought I saw something else, but it
got away.

You didn't even get a shot off, did you?

Why waste the bullet?

Did you get any more trick -or
-treaters?

Yeah, a couple, but, you know, people
are scared of this place.

Just the way you like it.

So what killed that guy?

I thought it was a werewolf, but the
moon's not right.

You know what I think?

I think it was one of them.

Elle.

One of the ones who broke my back. I've
heard this before. Maybe you need to

hear it again.

You're a good hunter, Rachel.

You always have been. What's gotten into
you?

Question is what has gotten into you?

What did you do?

Vampires.

Demons.

Mummies.

I mean, yeah, but I've never actually
seen one do anything.

Hot damn. Oh, I love hearing this.

You do? Oh, yeah. Honey, I've been
called a kook for as long as I can

And here you are, and here I am, and
you're telling me that everything I've

believed in is actually true?

I'd light off fireworks if it weren't so
bad for dogs and veterans.

I should get going. Take care of
yourself.

Joelle McPherson, stay right here, kid.

Finish your tea.

You're going to make me feel like a bad
host.

You need to talk.

I'm leaving.

You understand.

And I'm taking Dalton with me.

My God. We are going.

I want a life for us, for Kim. That's
more than just...

Leonard Morris than you ever were.

We've got to talk.

Rachel?

Fuck, Rachel!

What happened?

Follow her home. It hacked us to pieces.

were supposed to hunt.

What's his name?

What's his name?

Mitchell Card.

You're not ready.

You're not ready!

I'm coming back.

I promise.

I had to take care of someone.

She thought too much.

Don't... You always said an aloof
sentence.

You're right.

I'll be back in about an hour or so.

No. Get out of here. But we have to take
care of Rachel.

Leave that to me. The cops are going to
show up any minute and you... Mom!

I love you too.

Hear the devil calling.

Hear the devil calling.

Well, I hear the devil calling. Gotta
pay him what he's due.

I can't stop the dogs of war.

I can't stop the dogs of war.

. . . .

. . .

I'm not coming back for break.

That's what he said.

That's all he said.

I don't know some shit about finals, but
it's a girl.

It's definitely a girl.

He's a kid. What do you want?

I don't know. It's, um... Empty nesting.

Empty what?

Your empty nesting. The exact same thing
happened to me when Rich went off to

UCLA. Oh, thank you, Dr. Joyce Brothers.

Look, Chief.

Your wife is gone. Your kids are gone. I
know there was that other woman,

Rayburn.

Rachel.

Right. Rachel.

What did I say?

You said Rayburn.

Really? Yeah. No.

Apparently you think I was seeing an
apple.

It's a Brayburn, you jackass.

What? Brayburn apple.

The one they've got.

They've got the.

all the bravery in your whole life.

I have.

I really have.

I needed that.

Well, happy to oblige.

All right.

About that time, it ends, probably.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You good to drive?

Yeah!

You going to Doc's Halloween party?

No.

Man, he was asking us all.

Well, you can tell him to go hump a leg.

You

okay?

Piece of advice.

No, thank you.

Forgive your kids.

They're just going to keep pissing you
off, so get used to it.

Yeah, I appreciate it.

Get out of here, Caleb.

Don't end up in the ditch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, John, it's your dad.

Just checking in. I know things got a
little heated the last time. And

yeah, I feel like maybe we should talk
again.

I've been looking for an ass to kick all
day. By you, Mr. Carver.

Well, what do you think?

Good.

Oh, son.

You just kicked over a hornet's nest.

I know.

It's done.

One down.

Morning.

Afternoon. Really?

How did that happen?

No.

Wait.

Will you put it on me?

Yeah.

I love it.

Fucking better.

I'll wear it always.

This is not my beautiful house.

It's all coming back to me.

I thought it was sweet.

And very loud.

Just like me, baby.

Mmm.

Yeah.

Boo!

Fireball, it burns, it burns.

Jimmy did it.

I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, I
don't wanna go to the house on

fire.

Have you seen my phone?

You want me to call it?

Please and thank you.

I think I left it upstairs.

Maya?

Johnny.

My dad.

What happened?

Someone shot my dad.

Hey. Hey, Beck.

You okay?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry. Stupid question.

It's okay.

I was worried.

I know.

You didn't even text.

Sorry. It was just a lot, you know?

I wanted to be there for you. With you.

Hon. I'm shutting up.

I'm shutting up. I'm not making this
about me.

It's just that sometimes I feel like
maybe you're ashamed of me or something.

Oh, my God.

Like, I love you, and we live together.
I've never even met your family.

I've never met your family either.

They live in London. Yours live in
Indiana. It's not the same thing. It's

I know you said they're a bit rustic, so
if you think they wouldn't...

I wasn't going to say all that. It's
just... Been alone in the house for five

days.

Yes.

And you got stuck in your head because I
was being quiet.

Got trapped in a loop.

Also, yes.

And if I wasn't such a selfish dick, I
could have just picked up the phone and

told you that I love you too.

Maya, I'm sorry.

Really.

I think everyone's allowed to be
selfish.

When things like that happen.

He, um... He wanted me to come home over
break.

They told him too far.

I'd see him over spring break.

Fuck.

I don't know what to do.

What am I supposed to do? I just...

but more likely it's based on some kind
of natural phenomenon.

It's ironic that people see these
cryptids as uniquely American, but

America, land of immigrants, Europe, the
Middle East,

Asia, Africa, Central and South America,
people come here,

they bring their cultures, and they
bring their critters.

This is a woodwose from the UK, also
known as a wild

man or a green man.

Big, vicious, sometimes covered in green
hair, sometimes leaves.

Now, does this sound like anything else
that we've discussed so far in this

class?

Anyone else?

Anyone? Miss Allen?

Um, Skunk Ape?

Miss McLean? The Mill Rice Monster,
right?

Very good. It's like a big, mossy
Sasquatch.

Uh, yeah.

First sighted in 1974 outside of
Columbus, Indiana.

Now, the first non -indigenous settlers
of this area were largely British.

and Irish immigrants.

Now, isn't it possible that their
folklore took root

in this new land, changing over time and
evolving into something unique

and specific?

My own research indicates... But if the
settlers brought those stories with

them, why did it take so long for anyone
to report a sighting?

You know, I didn't get a chance to
interview the city's founders.

I must have forgotten my Ouija board
that day.

Okay, all right.

All right, by next week, chapters four
and five, be ready to discuss.

Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt so
much.

That's fine.

Enthusiasm is great. I begged my advisor
to get me into this class. I'm, like,

obsessed with your YouTube show.

Love it. Now, if you'll excuse me,
please. So, do you think we have

here? In America, I mean.

Oh, I absolutely do.

So you really do believe?

Oh, yeah.

I believe in ghosts and witches and
monsters.

And office hours. I believe in office
hours. Now, if you'll excuse me.

Guess you don't know everything.

I'm getting eaten alive out here.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

And I have a pay -per -view tomorrow, a
paper I haven't started yet, so... Tony,

I swear to God, if you don't stop, I'm
going to punch you in the face.

We were going to do this at home, but
you couldn't get out of here fast

You guys actually found a weirding
circle out here?

Not me.

Caleb. Of course.

He's got, like, a whole big list of
them.

So, we're out here because of me?

We are out here because of you.

I'm honored.

Chain of my ass is what you are.

Ah!

You okay?

Yeah. A root got me.

I'll do that.

He left me a voicemail the day he died.

Johnny?

I listen to it every day, is that?

Did I mess up? I just...

I can't. Okay?

I love you, but I can't.

That's what I do.

Ah, there they are. Here.

Hey.

Bring it on in here, buddy.

Get in here, you nut.

So good to see you.

How do you live in this armpit of a
state?

No, I've already lost 10 pounds.

The growth on you.

Caleb? John.

Looking good. You just saw him last
week.

Yeah, a lot can happen in a week.

I know you got school and everything,
but we really appreciate you doing this.

It's important.

Yeah, Kat didn't give me a lot of
choice.

No, I did not.

She said it had to be the four of us?
Yeah.

We're the four people he loved the most.
His brothers, kids, best friend.

He's going to talk to anyone. It'll be
us.

I don't... I don't think this is right.

No, what happened to Dad isn't right.

This is going to fix that.

Caleb, have you done this before?

Once.

It's not as nice as a blowjob, but it's
effective.

I hate this hoodoo shit.

I know, but how else are we going to
find out what happened to your dad?

All right.

North.

East.

West.

I'll take South.

Now...

We'll do most of the work.

We kind of have to get them started.

Give it a minute.

Can we like talk or? Yeah, it's fine.

Hey, remember the circle we have on the
farm back home?

Yeah. We haven't used that since your
grandpa was alive.

Is that for great uncle Talbot?

That's right. Yeah. So, so this guy, He
was a bastard to the very end. He

didn't tell anybody where he hid his
will.

Dad said it's buried in his wife's
garden, so he had to dig it all up and

it. Yeah, no.

Dude, he was a son of a bitch to the
very end, this guy.

Should be ready.

Now... We're going to cut our hands.

And when I say so... We're going to put
them on the stones, but only when I say

so. Really, we have to...

Son of a bitch.

Can't be sanitary.

Clay,

ask

the question. See it clear in your mind,
and then ask it.

Mitchell.

My brother.

Who killed you and why?

It's going to suck.

Hands down.

I told you it sucked.

God damn it, Caleb.

Clayton. Uncle Clay.

Fuck. Get off.

The Morrises.

The fucking Morrises. Jesus, that's who
that was. Yes, I'll never forget that

white -haired witch.

I put her in that chair, you know.

I knew Mitch met somebody that went bad.

But Rachel Morris, what the fuck was he
thinking?

He was trying to make peace.

They were in love.

They wanted to end all this stupid shit,
and they died for it. No, they got

killed for it.

And they're still out there, Dalton and
Al.

We got to take them out.

Wait.

They fucking killed him.

And you better believe that we all have
targets on our back, too. You want to

sit around and wait for them to come
pick us up? Because I don't. She's

They're fanatics. They're coming for
you. I know.

Okay, I know she's right. I know.

It's just a lot, you know? Fuck.

A police detective?

She owes me one. I'll see what she can
find. Come back here. Johnny, come back

here. Johnny?

This is insane.

Dad wanted this to end. He wanted it
more than anything. And we're just going

to, what, hunt them down? What, do you
want to just sit around and do nothing?

You want to know why I moved all the way
out here?

This is why.

All this Hattie and the McCoy bullshit.
I just want a normal life. They're not

going to give us that opportunity. You
understand?

Am I right? I'm done with this.

It's over.

It's over when somebody ends it.

Cat, I'm going.

The hell you are! You brought me out
here. I did my part.

I don't have another fight left in me.

Not with you, not with them. I know.

I love you. I love you.

I love you.

I love you. I'll talk to him, see if I
can... I don't go.

Honestly, just... Uncle Clay! Grace,
he's just like his dad.

Oh, I figured you'd be asleep.

You haven't been sleeping.

Nope.

Maya. You just disappeared.

Again. I know, I'm sorry. You drive off
with some woman. You send me this

nothing text. What am I supposed to
think? That's fair.

That's fair?

That's all you've got to say?

That was my sister Katrina.

Kat.

Your sister.

And I'm just supposed to believe you?
Yeah. Yeah, I literally don't know which

would be worse, that you're lying or
that you're telling the truth and you

a sister and you just never mentioned
that back to me. Lying. Lying would be

worse. So you do have a sister and
you've been lying about that. No, I just

never had a chance. Don't you fucking
equivocate me. I have been lying to you.

Not about... I really do have a sister.

About other things.

Tell me.

I went somewhere today.

Thought something that... My family came
down from Indiana.

Why? It had to do with my dad's murder.

We had a fight.

A fight that we should have had at the
funeral, but... Look, I know I painted

family as kind of backwoodsy, and that's
not untrue, but there's more to it than

that. A long time ago, my family got in
this fight with another family.

People died.

And over the years, it became the... A
feud?

Yeah. And it's still going on?

One of them killed my dad.

You can't be... The proof is hard to
ignore.

Jesus,

you've got to go to the cops.

I've got to lay low.

You think they want to kill you too?

Look, I fought with my family because I
don't want any part of this.

What happened to you?

It's what I want.

It's so much bullshit.

It's just not believable, Johnny.

So why do I believe you?

I'm not mad at you for holding this
back.

It's fucking nuts.

But if I'm going to stay, if we're going
to do this... Then we have to do it.

You said do it.

I'm afraid the wolves haven't heard
anything either.

Damn it.

I figured if anybody had their ears to
the ground, it would have been them.

Their numbers aren't what they once
were. None of ours are.

Sad, but true.

You want another beer?

It's a way of things, and why we all
have to look out for each other.

Oh, well.

These Morris fuckers can't hide forever.

No, they can't. And whichever family
finds them... Hand them over to the

carvers.

That's what you were going to say,
right?

Of course.

Dial it back.

It's a friend.

Which family?

Not one of us.

Behave yourself.

I'm serious.

Sorry, I know I should have called.

No, it's okay. Oh, I didn't realize.

That's all right. She's leaving, right?

Hon, your mother isn't here yet. Just go
ahead and...

Can you be my mom?

Jada, let her go.

See you around.

Come on.

She's harmless.

Cat! Really, well, mostly harmless.
Whoa!

What the hell was that?

She's a black -eyed child. Her family's
helping us out.

Come on, come on.

Um, actually, maybe don't look them up.

Here's what I found.

Goodbye. No, no, no, no, no, Abby, Abby.

Stay, stay, stay, stay.

Oh, I'm shaking. Holy shit, I'm shaking.

Show me what you found.

Okay.

There isn't much.

Rachel Morris died a year ago.

On Halloween, no less.

Her wife said it was an animal attack,
but she got real cagey real fast.

They named her and her son Dalton as
potential suspects.

Honestly, it's almost always the spouse.

And who's this?

There were two other murders that night.

Some tweaker who looked like a bear got
him, and this old lady.

She was gunned down in her own cabin.

He was in the woods.

Same woods she lived in.

Same woods as Rachel Morris?

They never tied it to Ella and her son,
but this is the type of town that sees

one, maybe two homicides a year.

Suddenly, three in one night.

Yeah, she killed him.

I saw it.

And her boy killed the old woman.

You saw it?

Huh. I know a guy who knows a thing
about a thing.

So who killed the homeless guy, the one
who was all tore up?

God damn it.

You said you didn't want to know about
this part of my life.

Just tell me it wasn't you.

It wasn't me.

Al Morris and Dalton Morris disappeared.

They were last seen in New Mexico about
six months ago.

They must have seen someone because they
went to ground before we could bring

them in.

Thank you for this.

I know the risk you took.

Kat, I took way more than a risk.

Do you understand how screwed I'd be if
someone knew I gave this to you? I do.

Which is why I'm thanking you.

So what are you going to do?

If you find them, I mean.

This is why I had to end it.

You get that, right?

And it's not because of what you are
that I love you, with or without the

And I get why you and yours have to live
life differently than the rest of us.

But I can't keep turning a blind eye.

The secrets were already piling up.
There's just no way.

None?

I miss you.

Those are copies.

Do not let anyone see them.

Abby. Abby.

They...

Do

it,

Johnny. Do it.

Yeah! That's how it's done!

sorry i couldn't afford a full cake um
happy poor person birthday i love it

red velvet at least the fanciest of all
cupcakes i wanted a piece yeah me too

what give me

Is that the right one? The one your mum
used to read to you? Yeah.

An insect edition.

Oh, I even smell the same.

Thank you.

I love you. You know that, right?

Yeah, you fucking better.

I love you too, my precious Pisces.

Pisces!

February the 19th to March the 20th.

Oh, God.

Compassionate, autistic, deeply
emotional.

Especially empathic. At least a little
bit psychic.

And often inclined to throw themselves
into caring for others at all costs.

The Pisces in your life are some of the
most magical people you'll ever come

into contact with. I'll take it.

Compassionate, definitely.

Artistic. I mean, you're a creative
writing major, so yeah.

Caring about others at all costs.

Definitely.

Magical.

Is that a phone in your pocket?

It's my future.

I don't know it.

Have you continued?

You're damn right.

Happy birthday to you.

Hey, Kat.

How old are you now? You sound old.

Still younger than you, Grandma.

Ooh, such a dick.

Did you get my birthday present?

Yeah. Did you, uh, use your employee
discount to get this?

Duh. But seriously, you should read it.
It's hilarious.

The stuff they get wrong is just so
wrong. But then you get to the stuff

like, the Beldam, and it's shockingly
spot on.

I feel like the artist maybe met her.

I know, right?

Figured it would help you with your, uh,
cryptid class.

Yeah, I do not need help with that one.

How you doing?

Oh, you know, uh, I am single and just
finished a microwave burrito, so I'm

basically living the dream.

Sorry.

No, don't be. I sprang for the fancy
microwave burrito.

No, about the single thing.

Yeah.

It's better this way.

Dating normal always ends badly. Look
what happened to Dad.

Any other word on the Morrises?

No. J .D. thought he saw Elle in the
Pine Barrens, but it was a bust.

But anyway, listen, Clayton is getting
everybody together on Dad's birthday for

a proper memorial.

It would mean a lot if you came.

Kat. And I don't want to hear any of
this.

you have class bullshit because it's
July and we both know that you have no

class.

Look, we miss you and you miss us.

So just come home, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Great. Now go get ripped or something.
It's your birthday.

Bye, Kat. Love you.

Love you too, punk.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Everything's perfect.

The headless horseman, La Llorona, the
woman in white.

Sometimes our origins are literary,
sometimes oral tradition.

But... It is their uniqueness, their
ability to excite the imagination as

individuals rather than just hauntings
that can elevate them from simple ghost

stories and turn them into true American
cryptids. Woo!

All right. All right. We are literally
seconds away from the end here. Now,

a few things.

Final grades will be in by Friday.

Have a great summer.

And if any of you...

She's a Bigfoot, Mothman, Pukwudgie. I'd
better be the first person you call.

Get out of here.

A plus work, Ms. McClain. A plus work.

This was like my favorite task ever.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very
much.

That was so good.

Oh, my God. I was shaking so bad.

Nobody saw, not even me. And I was
looking real hard. Shut up.

I'm so proud of you.

Like a stupid amount of proud of you.

Thanks love.

What is it?

How would you like to meet my family?

Holy shit!

Jesus Christ, Dalton, you scared the
shit out of me. I got your text.

You weren't supposed to come.

I was watching.

I'm more careful than I used to be.

You okay?

You're looking pretty rough.

I'm fine.

Just staying off the grid.

Yeah?

How's Mom?

Still holed up in the cabin in
Wisconsin.

So she's safe?

You care?

Fuck you!

Would I be doing this if I didn't care?
Maybe tell her that.

Really?

You wanted me to get close. I got close.
Maybe a little too close? I swear to

God. Just remember what he is. What his
dad did to Rachel. I loved her too.

But I don't want to spend the rest of my
life hunting these things down.

Neither did I.

But here we are. We deserve normal
lives. I think there comes a point where

that's just not an option anymore.

I don't believe that.

I killed a woman, Dorothy.

Not a thing.

A woman.

I told her too much.

I don't deserve a normal life.

But if we can end them once and for all,
then all of this can be over.

Yeah, I get that.

So you said you had something.

I can get you all of them all together,
all at the same time.

Really? How?

Johnny Carver invited me to the Monster
Mash.

I told him the brakes were staking, so
he's checking them now. We've got maybe

five minutes.

You're still tracking my phone?

Got it.

You're sure we don't need backup?

Who?

Mom's in a wheelchair, and Dad's Dad.

Wait, Mom's still crippled?

Yeah, the doctor said that there wasn't
anything that they... No, it's just that

I sent her something a while back that I
thought would help.

That could fix a broken back?

Old world magic.

I had to kill a melonhead to get it.

Oh, God, I hate those things. Right?
Frickin' gross.

Well, whatever it was, either it didn't
work or Mom didn't use it. Yeah,

probably for the best.

Um, I think the carves are woodwork, but
I'm not 100 % on that.

We know shooting them in the head works.

Uh, anything else?

No.

The research on them is basically nil.

Dad would love us to bring him back a
dead one if we can.

No.

That's... No.

Don't punk out on me.

We're doing this for Rachel.

Remember that.

Rachel, good luck!

Be right out.

I've got a pistol in my backpack.

That's your shotgun for when you get
there.

Text me if you get lost, but only if you
get lost. Understood?

Text me when you're there.

I'm moving on. Ain't no way back.

The dark has taken over me.

My bathrobe.

Really?

I've commandeered it. Yes, sir. Officer,
sir.

Does

this

make me a stereotype?

Yep.

Today's a big day. You ready?

Mm -hmm.

Just, um, I know things got kind of
tense with your brother.

We're fine. He wouldn't be driving 13
hours otherwise.

Do you, uh... Do you want me to come
with?

Not a good idea.

Okay.

It's just going to be a few of us.

Johnny would be fine. I'm not too sure
about Clayton, but Caleb... Caleb would

make it weird.

Which one is he?

A friend of Dad's.

Not family.

Does he, uh, shit, what's the word? I
know you don't like monsters, yeah.

Crypto? Yeah.

I can handle them.

Because we, um, have our ways.

Introducing others takes time.

I'm gonna guess surprises have gone
badly for you guys, yeah?

Fuck.

95 % of the time we are just like
everyone else.

Most of us can pass now.

We have jobs, pay taxes, and get too
drunk on Friday nights.

What about the other 5 %?

Leave the other 5 % alone.

You're lucky. I think mysterious is
sexy.

I know how lucky I am.

I can't wait till we get back on the
highway.

Oh,

look!

Look!

Maya?

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, no, a hornet came in and
landed right on my arm. It scared the

out of me.

It flew out when I opened the door. It's
okay.

I'm so sorry, hon.

Do you want to take a breather or
something?

No, it was delightful.

That was awful.

Let's just do it.

I could drive the rest of it. Thank you.

Hey, neighbor.

Oh.

I knocked at your door for like... Yeah,
I'm over here working. I figured that

out all on my own, so... It's a pie.

Oh, I didn't much think it was a cake.

I made it for you.

Jill. Just... I know you've gone through
a lot, and I thought maybe...

It's apple.

Oh, you remember.

From my orchard.

And I made the crust from scratch, too.

And I've done all this trouble.

I'm aware of what I do and don't have to
do. Thank you very much.

I guess I owe you.

Don't I wish.

No.

If you need anything, call, okay?

I'll be all right.

Even if you just want to come over and
screw.

You're really making me read between the
lines, aren't you? I raise chickens,

but I'm no chicken.

Company? Oh, that would just be Katrina.

Just bring me the dish when you're done,
yeah?

You're not the boss of me. Not yet.

Hi, Kat. Hiya, Miss Matlin. You carvers
are good people.

Yeah, keep that to yourself, though. We
have a reputation to uphold.

She still chasing after you? Well, you
know, I can't help how good looking I

I gotta live with it every day.

It's good to see you.

I was here last week. It was good to see
you then, too.

That's mine.

You'll share.

Come on, let's get the fire pit ready.

Look.

Yep.

And she's... farm adjacent.

You're not telling me anything I don't
already know.

I'm just saying.

Couldn't hurt.

I think it might.

I see you're flying solo this weekend.

Yep. It's a shame.

I'm sensing something with that shame.

We're doing fine.

Okay, good.

Stuff behind us is behind us.

All right. It was a rough patch, Uncle
Clay. It happened.

Sandpaper's rough.

What you went through was...

Broken glass and rusty nails.

No one said coming out was easy.

Okay.

I just don't like to see my family hurt,
you know?

We got through it.

That's what matters.

Okay, this is ready to go.

He's almost here.

Almost here? Is that one hour, two
hours?

Verbatim, I'm almost here.

You didn't ask him to elaborate?

What am I, a social secretary?

I'll get here when he gets here.

What is chomping your ass today?

Why'd you say it like that?

I don't know.

I'm grizzled. I don't know. Oh, well,
thanks, dear.

Hey, be nice. He's a good guy.

He's going to try and set me up with his
son again.

Listen to me.

He's old -fashioned. That's it. You
know, the last gathering, you know what

said to me? I was still of breeding age.

I shit you not.

Those are the words he used. Breeding
age.

So gross.

Robert!

Mr. Marsh is in the house.

How you doing, brother?

Good, good.

Come on in. Grab a set. What is that?
Oh, wait.

Is it the family recipe?

Didn't that shit make your cousin go
blind?

Yeah, just for a couple days.

I'll wait for Johnny to get here.

I'll have a snort.

Johnny's coming.

That's great.

Yeah, but we don't know if it's an hour
or two hours. I'm not texting him again.

Oh.

To Mitch.

There was a better man on this planet.

I never met him.

To Mitch.

Oh, that's lighter fluid.

Yeah, don't put hair on your chest. Yay.

I remember when your father gave you
your very first beer. You coughed like

for an hour.

I was 10.

Oh, Mom was going to kill him.

Yeah, she was a good woman, your mother.

I mean, and your father's. Yeah, it
wasn't a woman.

Very nice batch, buddy. Thank you.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You said no working roots tonight.

Oh, this is nothing like that. These are
sacred salts. You throw them on the

fire to sanctify it.

Why?

Because this isn't a cookout.

If we're going to honor Mitch, we should
do it the old way. That's how he'd want

it.

Sorry. Sorry, it's just, it's been a
weird vibe today. I didn't mean to...

fine, you squirrely weirdo. Don't worry
about it.

How about we light this bitch up?

I miss you, Mitch.

I miss the hell out of you.

Very cool.

You carvers know how to make a good
fire.

We do fire.

You do hooch.

Actually, you know who makes the best
moonshine?

My boy, Rich. He actually just graduated
with his... Hey, Johnny!

What's up, you beautiful people? Oh,
Johnny John.

Look at you.

Hey, you must be beat up to that.

Oh, no. Yeah, we took turns driving.

We? Shit.

Someone's here. This isn't how I wanted
to do this. What did you do?

You just can't just bring strangers
here, Johnny. Oh, my God, Johnny.

not today.

Oh, my God. This is going to go so
badly. Now, wait a minute. Her name's

Does she have any idea what we are? No,
I didn't say anything about that.

Hi.

Hey. Hi, I'm Maya.

Maya.

This is my Uncle Clayton, my, um, sister
Kat, and Caleb. We're not related.

Hi, again.

We've, um, we've been together for over
a year now.

It's way past the time you all met.

I've heard so much about you.

You have?

Not, not, not really.

Look, I know I should have said
something.

Just, um,

The way everything's been since Dad.

Look, she means everything to me.

I need you guys to be okay with that.

You're right.

You're right. Maya, I need to meet you.

I'm Uncle Clayton.

Oh, oh, oh.

Yes, he's a hugger.

Sorry, sorry.

That was so tense. I thought I was going
to pee.

Picotree, I'm Kat.

No hugging, please. I don't do hugs.

Caleb Marsh, friend of the family.

Where are you from, Maya?

London, but I go to school with Johnny.

London, the land of the eternal fog.

Yeah, I guess I wanted to trade the fog
for the sunshine.

Who wants a beer?

Me. I want a beer. I got you, I got you.
Hold on a second.

One beer.

Who else? Yeah, over here. Yeah?

Heads up.

Oh, good catch.

Which we leave that's not the first beer
I caught.

I would believe that, yes, I would.

Thank you.

I know I'm a surprise, but... Yeah,
thank you.

You know what, you're a real sweetheart.

Am I? Yeah, you are.

So, what kind of farm is this?

Is it...

Is it okay to ask that?

Yes, is it okay to ask? Of course it is.
So, I mean, they're not going to sprout

for a few months, but this whole north
side of the farm, that's going to be

pumpkins.

Really?

Oh, here we go.

Excuse me, but other people are
interested in the world of pumpkins.

As a matter of fact, Maya, did you know
that Indiana is the second highest

producer of pumpkins in the United
States?

No.

I did not know that.

You're unbelievable, you know that?

Yeah? Do you know how wrong this could
have gone?

I knew it wouldn't.

Because I trust you.

She's a doll.

I'll give you that.

Dad loved us.

But he never told any of us about
Rachel.

I kept thinking if we knew, it would...
Yeah.

I've been thinking about that, too.

Oh, my God.

Are you seeing someone?

Yeah, but you don't see her here, do
you?

She's cute as hell.

And smart.

And kind. How did you do that?

I'm a sexual dynamo.

Oh.

Hey.

Did I ever tell you about the time your
old man and I met Vincent Price?

No way.

No, it happened.

It really happened. Yeah. Look at her.
She's shaking her head. Do you even know

who Vincent Price is?

Yeah. He knows who Vincent Price is. He
has no idea. He has no idea who he is.

Only the greatest actor who ever lived.
Yeah. You got some teaching to do

anyway. So Vincent Price, he goes to IU
to do this lecture about, I don't know,

you know, like the horror movie, right?

And your old man and I, we decide no
matter what, we're going to get our

made with it. What do you like?

Oh, my gosh. In person?

Amazing.

Huh? She's fine. She's just going to see
a man about a horse. So, he's just

glorious in person.

Hi.

Hiya.

Um, is...

Everything all right?

You tell me.

I mean, I'm having a really good time.
You've all been so nice and... You're

haunted.

You know that, right?

What? I have a sense for that sort of
thing. It's coming off of you in waves.

You mean like haunted? Haunted like a
ghost? Exactly like a ghost.

It's funny. They don't believe in
ghosts.

Mine don't either. It's a long story.
Most of our families don't.

So what do you believe?

Me?

I believe in everything.

Seeing rune.

I brought it in case Mitch decided to
make an appearance, but I think you

use it more than me.

Thanks. Take it.

No, I'm okay. The ghost that's following
you is trying to communicate.

This will help.

I don't like magic.

I don't blame you. All the same...

You should give this a shot.

Take it.

Now hold it in your fist for five
seconds.

Then see what you can see.

Let's say I am haunted.

You are.

Why do you care?

Why wouldn't I?

Where are you going?

Saw a pie in the kitchen.

Gonna eat that pie.

What if something happens?

You look like someone who can take care
of themselves.

Dorothy!

Who the hell are you?

Where you been, babe?

Maya?

Wait.

I know you.

You're that dead kid that killed
Mitchell. I'm not dead yet, old man.

Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

You.

Don't you touch me.

Get the hell off me.

Jesus, that's what you look like.

Two down.

That's him. It's the bastard who killed
Dad.

I'm here.

There is so much.

Can you see it?

No.

You can do it.

You can do it.

Get him.

Get him. Get him.

My sister, freak show.

She used you to get you all into one
place.

No! Oh yeah, this is all on you. So
thanks.

She'll kill you, you freak!

Shut up!

You deserve it! Every last one of you
deserves it!

I got you.

Let me see. How bad is it? It's okay.

I just have this bullet stuck in me.

Once I can take it out, I just can't get
to her right now.

I'll be good in two or three days. What
about you?

Same.

It hurts like hell, but I'll be okay.

Okay. I'll be okay.

Hey,

Johnny.

It's not worse than any of us.

Hey, come here, Johnny. No, no, wait a
minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

No, don't go.

He's got to work that out on his own.

All of it. Oh, fuck.

You know, he's just like your father.

Keep saying that.

What did you do here?

Oh, God.

What do we do now?

With them, I mean.

We feast.

We eat them.

And then we burn their human bones in
the fire, and there's nothing, lots of

them, but ash and smoke, and then you
and I, we have a story, and we never

another living soul.

We didn't want the old way, then.

I'm a child of the flow, getting played
on again in the dead of night.

Just a child of the blood and pain,
getting fed by the desperate cries.

I got a darkness inside and never seen
this go away.

Come alive when the sun goes down, run
from the light of day.

Everybody knows when the east wind blows
and the devil is on his way.

And I'm coming with the head.

I'm gonna take your soul.

Kneel down in the muddy banks. Remember
when the water flowed.

Drink deep while you got some time.

And the devil is on his way.
