And God Jesus freaks.

You've not heard the story, have you?

Apparently not.

Twenty years ago, the woods ran red.

Bodies were everywhere and the killers were never found.

People saw them, though.

Some called them bagheads.

What did the others call them?

Scarecrows.

I've never heard about it, and I know I would have.

If you weren't living here when it happened, you'd never know.

They kept it in house.

So what about the guys with the bags over their heads?

Are they still around here?

They're not guys.

They aren't human.

They wanted revenge and they got it.

Where did you hear about this?

My dad.

Your dad, the conspiracy theorists?

Yeah, that's the same dad.

I only have one dad.

And how did he find out about this?

He saw them.

He actually told me never to come down there.

He keeps telling me about how they haven't satisfied their bloodlust.

Let's get going.

It's late anyway and I'm a lot of fan of ghost stories.

Fine, you're right.

I'm going to go take a week and give them a lot

of I'll be right back and I'll bring you home.

This isn't funny.

My soul just fly free

I've lost myself Maybe I'll find some peace someday My arms are wide open But

Mitch What are you up to I'm up to about 20 years worth of

projects Have to be done Finally getting them done Making progress

I'm sorry I couldn't make it here sooner.

Well, you're here now.

I can live with that.

You, uh, you sure you want to do this?

I can do my job anywhere.

As long as you have Wi-Fi, it'll be good.

Did you set it up?

Well, I didn't, but the cable guy did.

Great.

Well, get your stuff and come in.

My house is your house.

Finally, the sight of sore eyes.

What the hell do you around here anyway, man?

I don't drink, hunt, farm, probably fuck.

Like a fucking crazy with an onion, man.

Not a fan of the silence?

Not a fan of driving two hours to get a pizza.

Not a fan of smelling cow shit.

Do you even want to go camping?

Not as much of stuff, that's for sure.

But it's cool, you know, drinking around the fire, shooting a shit, that'll be all right.

It'll be great.

Things are gonna steal or something.

Alright, I think you just want to fuck the two of us.

I think we get the beer for free if you took a shot in the mouth.

As much as I'd love it, I don't think Sharon's gonna let me cheat on her.

You boys aren't from around here, are you?

Nah, not at all.

We're just admiring the scenery.

All the voices and the cows and that's about it.

So you guys are just passing through?

Yeah, we are passing through.

We're just going camping a couple days up in the mountains.

Keep the change of my man.

They are going straight to her.

It's really quiet here now.

I always thought she'd outlive me.

I hope she would.

I'm sort of lost without her.

I miss her too, Dad.

What's difficult is living with the regrets I have.

More regrets.

Your mom always wanted to go on this cross -country I always said we didn't have the

money and every time it came up I kept pushing it you can't afford it I guess I

just didn't want to go it now look at me I'd give anything to turn back the clock

and go on that road trip with her I'm sure she didn't hold it against you I know she

didn't but what's difficult is trying to forgive myself you

need to she'd want you to what happened with you and Lisa.

Oh jeez.

I thought it'd be here a few weeks before we talked about that.

You don't have to talk about it.

It's okay.

I'm boring.

That's what she thought.

Then she left me.

Can't blame her.

I am boring.

Oh, you're not.

Realist.

There are guys that go out there and live it up in the life of the party.

I'm home.

Work all the time.

She was You wanted one thing and I'm another.

Even when we went to a party together and find a

quiet corner to sit in until she said we could leave.

Have you been dating since?

No.

Why not?

Because I'm home all the time.

The only girls I see are at the coffee shop or the grocery store.

They're girls, aren't they?

The only thing worse than my dull nature is my approach.

I'm sort of hoping the right woman will just peer.

and understand that I need a lot of understanding.

I know some ladies from church, but they're in their 70s.

Thanks, but I'll pass, Dad.

For now at least.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Hi there.

Hello.

I'm Stacy.

Who are you?

Yeah, the name's Mitch.

This is my dad's house.

Ben's your dad?

Yeah.

How do you mean?

Everyone knows Ben.

He sort of hired me to do a shopping and drop it off.

Interesting.

Why is that?

There's always been independent.

I would think he'd want to do everything himself.

Apparently not.

Apparently.

So, uh, what's so interesting over there?

Oh, um...

I used to sit out here when I was a kid for hours.

It's easy to get lost in scenery, and now that I'm back, I'm getting lost in it again.

You haven't been here for a long time, have you?

No, I haven't.

Time is a thief.

Yeah, I always planned to come back, and I always found a reason not to.

I took my mother dying to convince me to return.

I'm sorry I heard.

So, uh, what's your plan now?

I convinced myself I came back here to help my dad and be with him and get him

through this time, but I'm not sure that's the truth.

That has to be part of the reason.

I'm sure it is.

The other part is...

I need it.

You're a lot of help.

When your mom died, Ben was devastated.

We don't even offer delivery at the store, but I saw a man I need.

That's very nice of you.

So, how long are you staying?

I don't know.

I used to live in the city, and I have this book deal, and if I write it,

and they like it, I have enough money to pay

rent to need canned ravioli's for a couple years.

That's your goal?

How many people who are worse-goers?

What's your book about?

It's a government conspiracy?

How far along are you?

I have the first paragraph, but it sucks.

You have a lot of writing to do them.

Are you a muse?

I'm in dire mood.

No, I'm not a muse.

I'm just a girl who works in a grocery store.

It doesn't be a strange place for a use, don't you think?

I don't know.

I don't know what music do when they're not.

Hey, watch it.

I wouldn't kill you two to get off your asses and do some work.

What was the purpose of bringing you guys, then?

You're not as valuable as you think.

You love me and you know it.

What's the problem?

This shit is heavy.

Move.

You gotta stop lifting.

Why?

Because you be able to get a cooler into a campsite

and you probably have a girl with you here this week.

I don't need to prove myself to you.

I'm just trying to help you.

Why does that matter to you?

I'm happy.

I'm not just bringing someone here just to impress you.

Okay, forget I said anything.

Family dispute, what else is new?

It's not natural for a guy to play video games all the time and never leave the house.

It's not natural for you.

And maybe it is.

Let him be his own man.

My dad asked me to watch out for him, and to make a man out of him.

My dad's a prick.

Your brother, he's the Annie Prick.

Not everyone turns out exactly like your problem.

My dad isn't a prick.

Jake, we all know your dad's a prick.

You're a water down brick.

Thanks.

Come on, man.

You know I'm here for you.

One of my best friends.

But when you're around your brother, sometimes you act too much like your father.

And if he doesn't get a shit together, I've seen

dudes in their 40s still have with their moms.

I don't want him to be one of those guys.

Jake, you gotta find some gamer girl online.

You're gonna get married, he's gonna live happily over here.

Gotta let him do his own thing.

Maybe you're right.

I came hit to relax, not to stress this shit.

No, you got it.

That's where we're here for this weekend.

Get away from the assholes and relax.

You've got a beautiful mountain.

You've got two beautiful women.

The best part is the only prick here is you.

This is a weekend.

We're never gonna forget.

How's it going?

Answer your question.

Hey, I saw you outside today talking to Stacy.

What's going on there?

Nothing.

Just a conversation.

She's nice.

That's nice.

And single?

How do you know?

When your mother died, I had to check out my options, so I asked her.

Seriously?

No, Mitch, not seriously.

She comes here, delivers my groceries, and we talk.

She's had a bad run in love, just like you.

This might be the universe talking to you, you know.

Sorry, Dad, I don't buy that stuff.

What stuff?

Fate.

There are no accidents in life, Mitch.

Anything in everyone that comes into our lives, it's all for the good.

There's no bad in it.

I'm not telling you to go after Stacey, but

you have to wonder why you've crossed Pitchie.

Gasman.

Got it, Dad.

Thanks for looking out for it.

Well, I've invited you're here for drinks tonight.

I hope you got something nice to wear.

You're messing with me.

Got a good bottle of Cabernet.

You might want to clean up.

She'll be here in a couple hours.

Don't worry about me, Mom, I'll find it, but

just you can't let you know what I need to find.

Just a little lost.

As usual.

Love you too.

Hello?

Randy?

So anyway, I told her, just tell him, look, you fat son of a bitch.

If you leave me alone, I'll give you two dozen donuts.

I love your sense of humor, Ben.

Life is too short not to laugh.

and love well I'm going to retire I'll leave you two alone there's a couple more

bottles of wine in the pantry good night then thanks for the evening oh well thank

you you know it's been a long time since I've had company here

and I really miss it let's make this a habit you two good night

I'm sorry about my dad Why are you sorry?

It just makes things awkward.

I haven't had the best success with women.

It's tried by a matchmaker.

That's sweet.

That's embarrassing.

Well, you tell me about what you've gone through is women.

I'll tell you about the disaster I've been through.

Here's the thing.

I meet people and I tell them I'm a writer and they are compelled.

And before we know it, we are dating.

But there's one thing about a writer most people don't take into consideration.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

They don't know that a writer becomes a writer because they tend to stay home.

Well, everyone else is out partying, clubbing, or whatever else it is that they do.

A writer tends to be in a quiet room somewhere, writing.

And when we are not writing, there's nothing wrong with a thinker.

And believe it or not, Mitch, you can break out of your house rest.

You're advising me, but you're here visiting with my dad on a Friday night.

What's that about?

I like your dad.

I like my dad too, but I'm sure you can find more

actions somewhere other than his living room.

Oh, sure.

I gave up on dating, Mitch.

I was married to a total loser who didn't work and treated me like shit.

I was with him for 10 years.

10 years of my life gone.

Just like that.

Poof!

Since then, do you know what I've gravitated to?

More jerks.

I seem to be an asshole magnet.

What does that make me?

I don't know.

You don't seem like an asshole.

And your dad says you're not an asshole.

It's a lot of averages.

I'm bound to meet a nice guy eventually.

I'm willing to take you out for a drink somewhere other than my dad's out.

One of these days, with your game.

Will you throw in wings?

Is it a deal breaker if I don't?

You know guys, I'm having a really great time.

I'd like to thank everybody for coming tonight.

Oh, thank you, Dan.

I think a reconnection to the nature is going to do us all a lot of good.

Woo!

So how'd you find this place anyway?

You know, it's funny.

I used to hate camping.

You know, you pay for a 25 by 25 foot square.

People next to you, they'd be too loud, the people to your right, be too nosy,

they want to tell you about their trip to Oklahoma.

It's... The point of camping is to get away from shit hands.

And then, you know, I had a moment of enlightenment.

Oh yeah?

Well, luckily I got it.

I got this gorgeous girl here next to me and the last one I was staying was a real bitch.

Let me guess, she caught you cheating, huh?

Ah, she was just a crazy bitch.

I can vouch for him there.

She's always pissed about something.

Look, look, you know, everyone's been there.

We get into a fight.

Somebody's gotta go, so I left.

I drove.

I drove.

Didn't know where I was going and somehow I ended up here.

And boom, now I get to share with you guys.

Randy, you don't drink?

How come?

I need to keep my head coming out.

Plus, we have wall-to-wall alcoholics here in the family.

Not even chance at it.

Not chancing anything.

I drink it, I'm not an alcoholic.

Oh, I'm happy about that.

But this is not for me.

I'm happy with fun.

I think that's fine.

There's no pressure here.

This is all fun, Randy.

And if you don't want to drink, then don't drink.

That's fine with me too, man.

Enjoy your water.

And keep drinking those waters and that beer belly will creep up on you.

You know, if you drag a little and loosen up some, you might have a girl here.

Hey, that's enough.

You're not some troll.

You can get a girl.

You're smart.

You can do good things out there.

What are you waiting for?

I'm going to bed.

But you don't have to.

Yes, I do.

Steph, you've only dated him for six months.

I've known him my whole life.

He doesn't let up.

It's called tough love.

It's called bullshit.

For the record, I invited a friend to come along.

I'm not surprised that he didn't, considering that he knew you were going to be here.

Yeah.

I'm glad he's not here.

I can only imagine the gym.

you take at him.

Uh,

is the son I can help you with?

I would like a beer if you might.

Here you go.

Very kind of thing, thank you.

Only if I sit.

You know, Steph's tired.

I know Jake's tired.

We're all about to head to bed.

It's cool, man.

Take you see, big man.

Thank you much.

Appreciate it.

So, what's your name?

Sweetie, my name's Cooper.

Cooper, that's an unusual name.

I don't know what the hell my parents were thinking.

So, what's the story then?

Oh, mate's just, you know, hanging around.

What the hell are you doing in the woods?

The hell are you doing in the woods?

Camping.

What I do you mean more or less?

What do you mean, more or less?

Do you want to hear a Batman story?

Yeah, Cooper tell us.

Okay, so I can't tell you all of them.

It's just not enough time, but if you like to hear some of it, at least.

Sure.

So my sister, uh, she was murdered.

She went up to college just up around here.

She was 18 years old.

It reminded me so much of it was murdered.

I'm so sorry.

As a brother, you know, you're supposed to be there for your sister.

I wasn't there.

I wasn't there then, but I'm here now.

And I'm not going to rest until I get justice for it.

But you're here now.

Are you saying she died here on this land?

She did it in these woods, exactly.

How?

And what do you mean by justice?

He doesn't have to talk about it if he doesn't want to.

It's okay.

I want to share this.

It may be helpful.

She was murdered.

Three freaks in burlap sex over their freaking

heads attacked her and they killed her and a threat.

And that's why I'm here.

This is why I remain here, man.

What about the cops?

Not the fucking cops, man.

What did you call them?

We're dead!

You know what the fuck happened?

They dismissed this as a fucking animal attack.

They told me one story, the townspeople told me another.

They just fucking brushed this case under the rug.

You know, and you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to shove that rug right up there fucking off.

I'm going to find these motherfuckers.

I'm going to drag all three of them to the police station and I'm going to get

justice for my sister, man, unless I kill them myself.

You're up early?

Yeah, you know, couldn't sleep.

What's on your mind?

That dude Cooper last night who just randomly showed up?

There's definitely something wrong there.

I think there's a lot wrong there.

So you saw it too.

That doesn't bother you at all?

Why would it?

I mean, random dude camping in the woods, he found us, shows up, tells us some

random story about a sister that's probably not true.

You don't think he's up to something?

He is.

There's two of us.

Two and a half if you got Randy.

We'll take him down.

There's something wrong with that guy.

You didn't see in his eyes?

I think we got to move camp.

Nah.

He probably knows these woods like the back of his hands.

We move, and he knows what we move to, it's meaningless.

all we can do is just be ready I guess whatever are you doing how are you and

Randy how's a baby bro better yes no I've always thought that he's the one that

needed to grow up but I'm starting to think that I've got some growing up to do

myself I need to learn to accept him as he is it's tough being the keeper of the

house you can't try to run his life right so I think the girls are gonna wake up

soon and make us breakfast if Sharon hears you say that

she's gonna kick both of her ass She's a cook, though.

It doesn't matter if she's a cook.

She's actually a chef, a very good chef.

But you can't just demand her to cook, especially when she's on vacation.

Stuff would be okay with it.

Oh shit.

I highly doubt she's in line with that concept.

No, she is.

Yeah, let's see it.

All right, what you learn, all right.

We'll see.

Dan and I want breakfast.

That's nice.

So I thought that you would come out here and make breakfast.

And I thought I'd stay in here and sleep a couple more hours.

You know, it's the woman's job to make.

the meals right I'm trying to prove a point to Dan here so um know your role and

come out here and make breakfast okay okay okay so y'all are hungry yeah you want

yeah yeah how about this um I go to Sharon's tent you guys utilize this one

and then y'all can have your sausages for breakfast sound good yeah so wake me up So

it looks like you're cooking some sausage for breakfast.

Unless you know you wanted the Polish kabasa.

I prefer Irish bangers.

Good morning.

You look spiffy.

Well, time to clean up.

I've got my son home and a pretty girl come to visit.

Feel pretty good.

I forgot how quiet it is here.

Well, it's that grass is always greener thing.

Sometimes the silence here is deafening.

So have you given any thought to what you're going to do after I leave?

I started a bucket list.

I'm realistic enough to know that I don't have all the time in the world left.

Maybe I had to do some of the things I want to do.

Which is.

That's the problem.

Right now the only things on the list, there are two words bucket and list.

I guess writer's block runs in the family.

So that's where I get it from.

I guess so.

What do you know about scarecrows?

What's that?

Scarecrows.

I found some paintings in your closet.

Oh, those.

I picked them up at a yard sale.

I thought I would hang them up for Halloween decorations.

No big deal.

Oh.

Okay.

Oh, hey there.

Good morning.

I didn't think I ordered any groceries.

You didn't.

I'm actually here to see your son.

Well, that's my cue to leave.

I'll let you.

How are you two talking?

How are you doing?

The jury's still out.

The day is still young.

Good point.

What are your plans today?

I was going to hang out with my dad.

Try to write, fail at that, get depressed, then go to bed.

Why?

Do you have anything better than that?

Wow.

Wow.

That sounds hard to beat.

I was thinking maybe we take a walk in the woods where we can walk and talk and

breathe in some fresh air and enjoy some nature.

That sounds much better.

Let's do that.

Good.

Let's do that.

I mean, freaked out.

I don't know.

I brought up the paintings and he made up some of

A bullshit story about a yard sale or something.

Why would he lie about painting?

It's mean, but he did.

I know when my dad lies, and he was lying like a carpet.

Well, but he doesn't want you to know about them.

Do you really need to know about them?

I guess not.

I'm just curious.

My father's never been a collector of anything, really.

And if they were so important, why were they packed away?

No idea.

I'm glad we're doing this.

I can't remember the last time I took a walk.

I'm glad you wanted to come.

Are you as awesome as you've seen, Stacy?

Well, actually.

Yes, I am.

And I'm not surprised you noticed either, but it's pretty obvious.

It's obvious.

It's nice of you to say.

Not my son, please, please!

Not my son!

You've got your blood!

You've got your blood!

You've got your blood!

What you can do with a watermelon?

Uh, hey, what's going on?

Hello.

Uh, I'm Dan.

This is Sharon.

We got Randy in the back, Jake, and Steph.

I didn't know this was a camp grant.

I don't know if it is.

It might be private property.

I'm really not sure.

I don't know if it is either.

I'm not giving you shit.

I don't care if you guys live here.

We were just going for a walk.

Do you want a beer?

It's 10 a.m.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Yeah, but it's 10 a.m.

here.

I'll take one.

Five o'clock somewhere, right?

Tell me one.

Low ball.

So you guys married?

We actually just met.

We're in the beginning stages of a dating thing.

Aww, that's really cute.

So isn't it a little early to go camping?

Are the night's a little chilly?

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, it was time to just get away.

Where from what?

I just had to get away from work, you know?

Me and my uncle flip houses.

It's supposed to be about 40 hours a week, now working about 60.

Don't forget how he fucks you on pay.

Oh yeah, and my uncle fucks me in pay.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Might be time for a change.

You know how it is.

Family gets messy, but I'm supposed to take over the company.

Unfortunately right now, I'm just the slave in the grant.

Hopefully that works out.

out for you.

That's the usual road.

You work your ass off when you're young and then it normally smooths out.

You two want to party?

Party?

Isn't it a little pathetic for a guy my age to be partying with people your age?

Sure it doesn't mean you can't.

I appreciate the invite.

Maybe we'll swim by.

Hell, you guys want to set up a tent and we're happy to hang with you for the week.

Hmm.

It's a little too cold to be sleeping outside this time.

year.

In our age, we don't deal with the cold so well.

Fuck you, Mitch.

I'm not old.

And you're only as old as you feel.

Haven't you ever heard of that?

Sure.

The problem is I feel pretty fucking old.

You two are a fucking riot.

You have to come back tonight.

You have booze, food, good tunes.

Sounds great.

Do you have any golden oldies for Mitch?

I am partial to the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B, if you have it.

You're an idiot.

Usually my dates wait a few weeks before going.

Yeah, it looks like we're on the fast track then.

All right.

That way time is party.

We just wait for the sun to go down.

We'll wait for you.

Drawing more of those Asian cartoon things?

Nah.

Okay then.

What are you drawing?

Damn.

That's different.

Are these the bagheads that Cooper was talking about?

No.

I don't think so.

It's just coming to my mind.

It's just free writing.

What's that?

It's like free writing.

You don't think.

You just draw.

You know, you just draw.

And it's like some subconscious connection between minded paper.

Well, try to focus on happy thoughts.

There's no reason for that stuff to come into your mind.

Dad?

He's probably asleep in his room.

I'll very back.

Okay.

Everything okay?

I don't think he's home.

What?

He never leaves the house.

I know that, but I've checked everywhere.

I'm going to look in the basement.

He's probably not there, but it's the process of elimination.

Then we'll go.

Okay.

Dad.

Follow me.

Is it Ben?

No, just follow me.

This is so strange.

Why would he do this?

I don't know.

Why would he paint them over and over again and then lie about it?

What does this mean?

Maybe it's just a phase or something.

People go through them.

Maybe he found art once her mom passed?

Did he tell you how she passed?

No.

Why?

Because he didn't tell me either.

It's a secret after secret.

I asked him about it one time about how she died and just broke down so I left it along.

I need answers.

Just ask him.

I'm sure he didn't tell you about your mother because it was too painful.

They were married for 40 years.

That's a long time.

Losing someone after all that time has to be the worst thing to ever go through.

I say just leave it alone.

He'll come to you when the time is right.

It's just a painting.

It doesn't seem like that big a deal.

So, what's next?

I had an idea.

I'm open to ideas.

Really?

within reason well I know it's kind of a weird first date thing but there's some

places around here that were pretty important to me as a kid and I was

wondering if you wanted to see him I'd love to yeah yeah let's do it right let's

go why does it feel like a monster's chasing me You doing okay?

Oh, sorry, this is pretty shitty first official date, isn't it?

It's not.

I'm happy to be here with you.

But you do seem detached.

That stuff with your dad's still bothering you?

I keep thinking about something.

It doesn't make sense.

What is it?

I got the call that my mom died, and I asked him

when the funeral was so he didn't have an answer.

He said he'd call back, you never did.

I would think he'd want me in the funeral.

I don't know, Mitch.

I'm sure he was pre-occupied with all the arrangements and he was all over the place.

Maybe it's just that you slipped his mind.

This is pretty easy to do, I've been out of the picture for a long time.

Yeah, yeah, you might be right.

I could tell you're a writer, even if you didn't tell me.

How's that?

There's always some story with you.

There's always an angle.

The ears are always turning.

I wish I could play the paper and get this book done.

You will.

I have a good feeling about it.

I want to thank you for listening to be.

I don't know what I would have done if we didn't cross paths.

Don't thank me.

I'm happy I met you too.

I'm having a really great time.

And we're gonna have a blast tonight.

Are we really going to the camp party with those kids?

Sure!

It'll be fun!

I haven't been to one in a while.

We can dance and drink and drink some more.

Don't let me down there.

Don't let me down there.

Mitch, I want to drink and dance.

Let's get wasted.

Yeah.

No.

I don't know.

Steph, do you think that you and I can talk for a minute, but just you and me?

Of course.

So, what's going on?

I have a feeling that something really bad is going to happen.

Like what?

Take a look at these.

Well, they're drawing well.

How can I explain this?

I didn't draw them.

Then who did?

Well, I did, but I didn't.

I don't remember drawing them, but here they are.

And I can draw, but I can't draw this good.

What do you think is going on?

I need you to keep this between us.

I know Jake will want to know what we're talking about, but if you tell him when

I'm about to tell you, he will have me institutionalized.

So when we arrived, when we were driving through the woods, I started getting these

weird visions and even though they were different, they were all the same thing,

Scarecrows.

I just kept seeing them.

Maybe it's just stress.

You might just be really stressed out.

Something bad is going to happen.

We need to leave.

Maybe we can't leave.

We just got here.

Nothing bad's going to happen.

Hey, hey, hey.

Come on down.

I'm down.

It's all right.

Don't worry.

You know your brother and Dan are as strong as hell.

Anyone who's going to fuck with this, if you can carry it out of here in potty bags.

It's going to be all right.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey there, Stacey.

Hi, Sheriff.

This is Mitch.

He's Ben's son.

Sheriff, Gilmore.

Is there something wrong with my father, Sheriff?

Oh, no.

No offense, we've got a lot of old-timers.

Not all of them have families.

I'm just checking in.

That's very nice of you.

Gilmore.

Is your first name Ed?

Yeah, how'd you know?

We went to high school together.

I don't expect you to remember me.

You were very popular and I was shoved in a locker.

I hope I wasn't the one doing the sub in there.

It's nice to see you doing well for yourself.

I'm doing all right.

Money ain't great, but I get to take care of a

nice small town where the people are excellent.

You know, big fish in a small pond.

I like it like that.

So Ben was telling me that you just moved in.

I did.

Temporarily.

You guys need anything.

Don't hesitate to call me, alright?

We live in a very small town, but you'd be surprised at the stuff that happens here.

Like what, Sheriff?

Well, a couple days ago, a couple teams ran off

together, and some of that meth came into town.

I mean, but no fault on my own.

That shit is everywhere.

It's in every corner in Springfield.

That's where my apartment is.

Oh, big city boy over here.

All props to you, but definitely not for me.

Uh, anyway, I gotta go.

Catch you two around.

You were bullied in high school.

I never would have believed that.

Really?

No, not really.

A shy writer?

I would be surprised if they ran a train on you.

Ran a train?

You know what run a train mean, right?

Yes, I saw it on a prison documentary.

Why would that even enter your mind?

You said that they shoved you into lockers, and that isn't that far away from

the prison shower room if you think about it.

I'm not thinking about it.

You shouldn't think about it.

That's a fucked up thing to think about.

Let's go see my head.

Are you gonna run a train on him?

What are your plans for tonight?

Channel 3 is showing a whale of a tail 9 o 'clock.

Actually, we're going to a party.

A party?

You've been here a whole day and you already found some action.

Stacey, you my son's hookup?

You're going to show them the party houses in town, huh?

No, Ben.

I don't party.

We just stumbled upon some campers up the mountain a bit.

They're having one.

Campers, what the hell a campers doing around here?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I'm just thinking goddamn tired of campers

coming around with their noise and their trash.

But they seem very clean and respectable.

Nothing!

Just go to your party, will ya?

There's something going on.

You weren't here today, and now you're completely overreacting to nothing.

Oh, I didn't know I had to check in with you before I left the house.

You don't!

I was concerned something that happened to you.

Don't be concerned.

about me.

I can take care of myself.

Always have.

I'm going to that party, but tomorrow you and I are sitting down.

We've got a lot to talk about.

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks.

Nice reflexes.

I have cat-like reflexes.

The other day, I was in the pantry and a bag of Oreos fell from the shelf,

and I caught it.

Not one broken Oreo.

I'm that good.

That's impressive.

Nice.

Yeah, I said you wanted to... I know, I do... I kind of wanted to drink some more first.

Come on.

This has to end.

I know there's a price, I know what it is, but this has to end.

End?

End.

This doesn't end, Ben.

We're married to this.

This ends, and we both go down.

It doesn't have to be this way.

We can warn them.

You're the sheriff.

You can go up there and tell them they can't camp there and kick them off the property.

You're the sheriff, for Christ's sake.

I know who I am, Ben.

You had your chance to save your boy, and you blew it.

Hell, I don't even know why you brought him down here in the first place.

His mother died.

There was no way he wasn't coming here.

You tell him how she died?

What do you think?

Whether you like it or not, Ben, I'm actually doing my job.

Your job is to protect and serve.

How the hell are you protecting those kids up there?

It's not about them, is it?

This is their killing season.

This is it!

We last a couple more weeks and everything goes back to normal.

I was thinking, maybe we could light them on fire.

We could get some gas cans and just light them up.

You idiot!

How many bodies need to be piled up there before you

get it through your thick head that they don't die?

They can't die.

They're not of this world bed.

This is a freight train.

It's running down the tracks.

If you want to stand there and yell, stop, by all means, go right ahead.

But I'm not fucking.

walking around with them why are you here to clean up as usual how many bodies have

you buried out there does it really matter you believe in God sheriff no well I do I

do whatever happens today whatever has happened in the past how are we gonna

answer our maker when he asked us why we help these demons get their blood

You have a good night, Ben.

I'll be around.

My focus is pulling, my hand up on the wheel, my body is planted locked in gear.

It's maybe too late, the night is here.

The dead man to my rights be so clear.

Well, well, well, lookie who we got here.

If it isn't Mr. Cooper.

Funny, I could have sworn I told you I never wanted to see you here again.

What's you doing here, Mr. Cooper?

You know what, Gilmore, you know why I'm here.

And I'm not leaving you, son of a bitch.

Still hunting them ghosts.

How's it going?

Have you found Casper yet?

I'm still trying to find three men because you won't.

Because they don't exist, Mr. Cooper.

It's easy to say for you.

It's less paperwork, right?

Mr. Cooper, I am truthful.

truthfully sorry about the tragic loss that your family has dealt with.

But you know, it's not healthy for you to be sitting out here all by yourself.

Come on, don't patronize me, you slob.

When I drag those three bagheads to your office,

you'll be singing a different tune, buddy.

Bagheads?

Do you listen to yourself?

You might as well be chasing Bigfoot out here.

What?

Bigfoot gonna kill my sister, you idiot.

Okay, okay, Mr. Cooper.

I'm only gonna tell you this one.

more time I want you out of my woods out of this town and out of my life by 8 o

'clock tomorrow you got it do we understand each other you don't control me

you bitch here you piece of shit I'm the sheriff I call the shots when I tell you

to leave you fucking leave you got it go back to your little office and do nothing

like you usually do you fat slop I'm right here.

Where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?

So you finally come to face me, you fucking coward!

Take off that damn mask!

I want to see the face me, you fucking coward!

Fucker that killed my sister.

Take it off right now!

I'm not gonna say it again!

What fuck are you?

Who drew these?

Randy did.

Where is he?

He might be in his tent.

He's kind of introverted.

He goes, but... What's a problem?

There is no problem.

This is your brother's drunk scarecrow.

That's all he's drawing.

I'm curious as to why.

Why?

Because my dad is painting them.

It's all he's painting and it looks like that's all your brother is drawing.

I'm curious as to why.

Okay, it's that important.

It's just asking.

Hey, Randy.

Randy, get up.

We get a question for you.

Randy, wake up.

We need you.

Where do you go?

Maybe he went for a walk.

A walk.

At night, in the woods, not Randy.

Randy!

I have no idea where he went.

Jake, relax.

I'll go find him.

Yeah, I'll come with you.

Sharon, where do you put the black like?

There you go.

I'm sorry about this.

About what?

My brother roaming off somewhere ruining the mood.

It's all good.

Hey, it's going to be okay.

We're gonna find him.

Do you think he ran off because of me?

No.

Oh, you know the woods are now.

I might be surprised if we came to the woods any second now.

Randy's already way too tightly wound.

Something like this, it's just gonna make the trip worse.

Well, I'm sorry about that, but it's just weird.

What's weird?

He's drawing scarecrows in Banjo County, USA.

What's weird about that?

It'd be weird if he's drawn palm trees.

Maybe you're right then.

Maybe I read too much into it.

It's water under the bridge.

We just gotta find Randy right now.

We've got to focus on Randy.

Has he done anything like this before?

He hasn't left the tent before.

Does he have a cell phone?

I'm a fucking idiot.

Let me call him.

Let me call the sheriff.

He and I go way back.

What's the sheriff gonna do?

Hasn't been 48 hours.

Can't file a missing person's report.

It's a small town.

They can play by their own rules.

He's still not answering.

He might be out of range.

We are in the mountains.

Bad news travels fast, Jake.

Don't let your imagination run away on you.

You're right.

If he's lost in the woods and he's not here by morning, we'll call the cops.

They've got to have search parties for this kind of thing.

And if they don't, I'll get people here and we'll search every inch of this place.

Thank you.

Jake, I really want to tell you something.

I just don't want to get mad at me.

What are you talking about?

Earlier, your brother took me into the woods and he kept saying, that something

bad was gonna happen and that maybe we should leave.

So possibly that has something to do with it?

Obviously it has something to do with it.

Where the fuck was he when you spoke to him?

About 20 feet into the woods over there.

It's okay, hun.

Let him go.

Fuck!

I should have said, I should have said something earlier.

I just promised Randy that I wouldn't.

Then you did the right thing.

There's nothing wrong with sticking to your word.

I'm going after him.

We don't need two missing people.

You go after him.

We'll have three missing people.

No, I know these woods.

I'll find my way back.

Jake!

What's wrong?

We gotta go.

We have to go right now.

We have to get back to the camp and call the police.

No!

This is not a debate!

Let's go!

We gotta get back and call the fucking...

Jake!

I was in the area.

What's up?

His friend is missing.

We're looking for him now.

All right.

I'm assuming there was some drinking going on this evening.

So, guys, the best advice I can give you.

Back up to the campsite, get a good night's rest.

If he's not back by tomorrow morning, then you'll go find him, okay?

Can we find him now?

We could, but you see, my officers have had a very trying day.

They're at home, in bed, sleeping, where I should be.

Now, I don't know if you've noticed or not, but it's pitch black outside,

and the chances of you finding anything.

think is very slim.

We have to find him tonight.

I hate to break it to you Snowflake.

I don't fucking work for you.

You don't pay taxes here.

So kindly, shut the fuck up and stop telling me how to do my job.

Okay?

Now, I'm only going to say this one more time.

What town is this?

Get the fuck back off to the campsite.

What am I doing wrong?

There's a public property.

There is.

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.

There is.

Both of you get the fuck out of my face and go back up to the campsite like I just

told you now get and wait for your friend now get the

fuck back up there what the fuck you doing here get what's

wrong we have to run now where's she they killed him what's they who's they

scarecrows Come on!

The scarecrow's!

They're real!

Sharon, what's going on?

They came into the camp and killed Steph.

This some type of joke?

It's not a joke!

You better get yourself so fast.

You and you.

Follow me.

Let's go.

Don't go, Mitch!

Well

Apparently this isn't a suicide What kind of fucking joke is that?

Apparently not a good one Why the fuck do you even have a gun here anyway?

Why are you laughing?

Somebody's dead Is this what you want?

You want a gun?

You need a gun?

What?

Yeah, have a gun.

Fuck!

Boys?

They work for you?

No.

They don't.

We don't work for me.

We haven't understand it, though.

They gotta do what they gotta do.

And right now, Mitch, you're trust me.

What are you gonna do?

Shoo.

They're gonna least a claw on your ass.

However, I can't speak for them.

Boys!

Mitch, come in the house.

Come on now.

Dad, we need to go.

You need to come with us.

Come on.

You'll be safe in here, Mitch.

You've got to come in the house.

I know the scarecrows are out there.

They won't come in the house.

All right, it's time to come clean.

Those things you saw out there, Mitch, they live out there.

And once a year, they hunt for blood.

What are they?

I don't know.

I used to think they were demons sent by the devil himself.

Now I think maybe it's Mother Nature getting us back.

The world is crazy.

There's a lot of strange... Can they be killed?

They can be, I don't know how.

People have tried, but they didn't get anywhere.

Why won't they come in this house?

We have an understanding.

What does that mean?

It means I stay out of their way and they leave me alone.

Did they leave mom alone?

Okay, fine.

Your mother was a hero.

She tried to save people and she paid for it.

If she had done the right thing, she'd be alive today.

That's not the right thing then.

You know that's not the right thing.

Mitch, they destroyed your car.

All right.

Now you can leave.

You set us up.

There's an order, Mitch.

It has to be filled.

This cycle has to complete its course.

I don't take any pleasure in this.

Kill us.

No, no, it's okay.

You're my blood.

They'll leave you alone.

But not them.

Not them.

You son of a bitch.

I'm sorry, Stacey.

I'm sorry.

Now get out of my house.

No, we're not going out there to be butchered.

Get out now.

I just laid this floor down.

Be ashamed to have to replace it.

What's the game plan?

Give me the shotgun.

I can't do that.

We should never have come back here.

You deserve to die alone.

Let's

go.

You heard your dad.

They can't be killed.

We'll shoot him in the legs.

Maybe that'll slow him down enough for us to get far enough away.

I don't think you can hit me.

Get away with it?

Fucking piece of shit off.

Yeah, how you like me now, you just want.

Oh.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna fuck your girl.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Fucking cunt.

Ah.

You shoot me.

You gonna have a lot of explaining to do.

I'm a writer.

I'll come up with something.

It's

not affecting them.

It's not affecting them.

I noticed.

I'm gonna distract them.

You guys haul ass out of here.

No, Mitch.

You heard my dad.

They probably won't hurt me.

So just go!

Hey, big boys!

I'm here!

You seem to like my dad.

Maybe we can work something out, can we?

Where are we stopping?

I can't leave Mitch.

There's a car.

Go, go, go!

They got away.

Oh, no.

Oh, God, no!

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault.

I can get you more.

I'll get you more blood.

This is not my fault.

I can get you more blood.

I'll get you.

You don't have to do this.

I'll get you more.

I'll get you.

You don't have to do this.

It's not my fault.

You don't have to do this.

You don't have to do this.

I'll get you more.

Do we have room to go around?

You go through this all the time.

If you don't like my prices, waddle that fat

ass of yours down the road and go someplace out.

You know, you shouldn't insult the customer like that.

The customer is always right.

It should be my way.

Does this look like a fast food joint to you?

Do you see a fucking clown statue?

Do you see a playground?

Do you see a fucking drive-thru?

That's what I call it drive-thru.

You fucking idiot.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Oh shit!

Maybe now you'll give me a fucking disco, you cheap flack!

You fucking dildos!

You finally done?

Finally.

Love you too.

Don't think about scarecrows.

Every day, it's kind of hard to forget.

We made a decision and I was afraid to tell you.

You don't have to be afraid to tell me anything.

I gave the house to charity.

I couldn't make money off of it and it didn't pay it right.

I just wanted it out of my life.

There were too many bad memories tied to that house.

I blame you not.

I know you did the right thing.

You two got a steal here.

You gotta fucking steal.

Yeah, let me tell you, I had three other sons

and bitches looking at this place, but no what?

No, I like you.

You two are perfect for this place.

Yeah, and Tom takes care of his friends, and we're... We're friends, right?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, damn right we are.

Oh, God, do I envy you?

You have this love.

Oh, it's so pure.

Look, I can see that.

I can see that.

It's rare.

It's like that, it's like that the two old people on a, on a porch type of love, huh?

Unlike me.

Unlucky in love?

Yeah, yeah, you can say that.

I, um, well, I think I need to spend more time

in church and less time in the strip joints.

But you know, those strippers, they have the nicest asses.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

Hey, yeah, right?

Yeah, that's... Nice to know.

Yeah, um, yeah, uh, yeah, no, all right, um,

looking, I want you two guys to enjoy your home.

I'm just going to get out of your way now, but I want before I leave, I want to say

one thing, just one thing, one thing, okay?

If you guys need anything.

Oh, you too, oh God, you just, you warm my heart.

I'm so proud to be a part of this.

Hey,

hey, hey, why the long faces, huh?

Tell me about it.

Tommy's here.

Tommy's right here.

Tommy's on your side, huh?

Tommy in the house, huh?

Holy fucking shit is that a goddamn scarecrow jumping up and running after me.

Motherfucker, yep, that's a goddamn skill crow, hauling ass and trying to get to me.

How he gets so fast and why is he so pissed off?

I thought skil crows had no brain.

But it looks to me like he can't sure use a

knife and I ain't tryin around and feel no pain.

What the fuck is that but another fucking skimp crow jumping up.

Jumping up and running after me Son of a fucking bitch, it's another fucking Skip

Crow hauling ass and trying to get to me I think it's so fast and why they're so

pissed on I thought Skip Grohs had no brains

Yeah, I know I'm late.

I'm sorry.

I'll meet them next time.

Yeah, listen, I want to meet your parents, but you remember what I told you about that?

It happened again.

It's not a conspiracy theory.

It just hasn't been proven yet, and I'm going to prove it.

Some say the forest has eyes, something over the heat in the life, but he's taking

this town, but in the woods, it's ice, something that's been living alive.

Be nice, Be nice, Erehe.

Ere Ice.

Ereise.

Ere.

Eyes.

Thank you.
