Wait,

so how long have you been coming up here?

You know the answer to this question.

I just can't see you up here. It's hilarious.

I guess this is hilarious, but... Yeah?

I don't know. 20 years.

Wow.

I can't believe we're actually moving here.

Come on, baby. Drop that in. It's just a feeling. Nice and easy.

Oh! Why didn't you hit my foot, dude?

Was it just a feeling?

Oh, wow.

Okay. There you go. That's one point.

Yes. One more than you got.

Let's go!

Let's go!

I got the belt ready for you, bro. Put your belt away.

Okay, okay.

Show them what it is. All right. We get it. We get it. We get it. All right. The

round isn't over.

There we go. Let's go. You literally got one shot. Let's go.

Yeah, zero.

It's zero right now.

It's now a superstitious thing. I'm going to root into the earth. You're

No, I'm not. I'm so drunk.

Nancy, Nancy.

Voila.

You're fired.

Oh, speaking French again. I'm surprisingly really impressed, babe. I

you're a fireman. Yeah, since when?

All right, why are you blowing on it? Can you talk us through your method?

So, supposedly, this is a...

True story. Okay.

There we go.

Finally. They say.

What do they say?

There's a lady who hunts this lake.

Wait, this lake? Wait, like this lake? Yeah, this lake. You're really going to

give us this lady in the water story? Oh, it's that movie. It's underrated.

just saying. I've heard this story before probably. Oh, wow. Okay, you tell

your story then, Arden. No, no, no.

I apologize.

Glasses are coming out. They say a woman haunts

this lake.

And if you listen real close, you can hear her call.

Come home.

Many years ago, an outsider came to this town.

A local woman fell in love with him.

They began to build a life together.

Fi called him her beautiful bird.

They were happy until one night, the outsider was

chased into the woods by shadows.

The woman waited for him to return.

Months went by, and no one emerged.

One day, on her porch, was a beautiful bird.

Dead.

Something in her broke.

She walked to the lake and never came back.

They say her spirit still roams this land ever since that day

folks disappear in these woods people go mad

lovers

Okay. Shut up.

Whatever.

Why did you hear that story?

Sometimes it's better to forget.

Thank you for your honesty.

Babe, we should do this.

What?

This.

Mountain life.

Clean air, crisp water, the trees.

You know, I could wear flannel all day and chop wood.

Isn't this fucking heaven?

Yeah, you wouldn't last a week. You rely on food delivery. Okay,

that's not fair.

It's true, though.

I just...

I don't know, I just feel really relaxed.

You can work on your research, you know, quiet.

It's getting windy out there.

Uh, yeah, it's, um, it's a lovely thought.

Okay.

Three words.

Thoreau, Emerson, Bon Iver.

I'm serious. I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's an out -there idea, but we

wouldn't be alone.

We've got Mel and Ike nearby.

We can make some friends, put down some roots.

Are you serious?

Yeah, I am.

Babe, that's a terrible idea.

I'm not trying to be mean.

I'm so glad that you're having a good time, but this has nothing to do with my

life.

Our life.

Why don't we just sleep on it and think about it seriously?

And if you want to talk about it more, we can.

I love you Love you

I've got a story.

This woman, right? Yeah. She's grieving the death of her husband. But keep in

mind, she basically killed her husband because she pushed him off her balcony.

What the fuck, bro? That's not horror. That's just straight -up murder.

I know. It's a fuck, right? Okay. Still, though, she plays the part, right? She

wears the black gown in the morning.

But eventually, this drives her a little nuts, okay? So she's, like, wandering

around. You know, trying to find a distraction for herself. Okay.

And eventually she finds a thing.

A snake.

A beautiful snake. It's a black and brown and green thing. It's a sweet

snake. This isn't like a weird sex story, right? This is a true story.

Shut the fuck up. Just listen, okay? So there's this snake, right? Hello.

So, okay. So this snake, she brings into her home, right?

And... She starts to treat it more like a child, less like a pet.

She even gives it a name.

Tommy.

Sweet Tommy.

Sweet Tommy.

So she starts letting Tommy wither into bed with her. And he sleeps

in her bed, on the same side of her bed as her husband is.

And he just grows, and he's growing.

Wait, listen to the story that you're telling.

That's not what's happening. That's not what's happening. Fuck you.

So annoying.

Hi.

What a day.

Holy shit.

Yeah.

Worth it.

I'm fairly certain it's a true story, okay? Like, where is it from?

I don't know. I heard it somewhere, but it feels true to me. Like, you know,

snakes. probably measure out their prey before they eat them. Wait, are you...

Just stop. You really think that in the wild, a snake makes a rabbit, like,

freeze, lays down, gets rigid, measures out from head... I mean, what the hell

are you talking about? I think maybe... Yeah, it's a rough estimate, perhaps.

Did you take biology?

Any science at all?

I worry about you, bro.

You got to decide if you want to do it or not.

I mean, if I'm going to do it, it would be with Taylor. But, like, it's just

like, I don't know, I just feel it from different pages a lot of the time.

She wants X and I want Y.

I mean, I want this. This is fucking beautiful. Like, my brain is, like,

floating. Yeah.

I mean, we're talking about it, but I just want to run away to the woods, you

know? I don't have to worry about all these things.

Clear your head.

Oh, fuck.

Take me home.

Take me home.

Bro.

Bro. Let me check. Fuck. Bro.

Fuck. Shut up. Let me see.

Let me see.

I have to open the thing from the inside. Hey.

Oh. Hey.

Need to jump? Yes.

Thank you. That's amazing.

No worries.

Open that.

Oh.

Got it.

Okay.

Okay. You got to do a secondary. Can you not pull on the thing? I'm not doing

it. I'm trying to open the last thing.

Got it. There we go. There we go.

There you go. Oh, thanks.

Got it? Yeah.

Yeah, I think I just go color red to red. And then you just ground it to

No, you don't have to ground it. It's like an old car thing. No, you ground

No, these ones are just like this. Where are y 'all from?

Yeah. I'm visiting from the city. We're both original. Well, we're in the city,

but he just... I just moved here.

Oh, wow. Welcome. Thank you. Yeah. Appreciate it.

Where about?

Oh, just on the other side of the lake.

Cool, cool. Yeah. I'm going to... Give it a go. Oh, great. Thank you.

Okay. Rescue.

Rescue.

Can you imagine?

What would we do? What would we do?

What would you have done?

Would we have walked? We'd start walking.

Just give it a second.

Thank you.

Yeah. Oh, my God.

How far off the lake are you?

Oh, I mean, kind of just on the, like, at the end of the narrows. I have white

families in there for, I guess, generations.

Oh, the Campbell House?

Yes. Yeah.

Yeah.

The House of Rosenberg.

Oh.

Honey, I used to... Yeah, I haven't been over there since I was a kid, really.

To the lake?

Yeah. Are you... You're from here? Yeah.

Grew up here.

Oh, cool. Oh, wow.

That's wild. I mean, why do you go to the lake?

Well, it's all private property, so... Well, now you have a... You have a

Kinect. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Come through. You should.

Grab a beer. We got a fire pit.

Chill. Nice. Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Thanks. He's skeptical, but it's really good.

I'm sure it is.

You want to run it? Oh, yeah, sure.

Okay, fingers crossed.

She's got places to go.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

All right.

Appreciate it.

I might take you guys up on that offer. Yeah, please do.

Please. He needs friends.

He's got it. He needs friends. All right.

Oh,

I'm McKenna. Okay, cool.

Arjun. Sam. Nice to meet you. Thank you. See you guys in the future.

I mean, you should come have that beer. She got the invitation. I'm just saying.

She got the invitation. I feel very grateful right now. Thank you.

Yeah.

It is pretty, though. I just, I'm so impressed that you guys are even doing

this. I would feel so far away from people.

Yeah, I mean, it's a big change.

Not to say the least.

But, you know, it's like the natural progression of things, right? You get a

job, you get married, you get kids, you pay taxes, you just keep on.

Right, yeah.

Do you need help in there?

Oh, no, I'm good.

Thanks.

I mean, this is probably, like, really unhealthy, but I just don't know how

people can survive with so much quiet.

Like, Arjun loves it, and it doesn't make sense because he's, like, the

person that I've ever met, but maybe that's balancing it out somehow.

Yeah, I mean, it takes getting used to.

Probably a bird.

Nature's pretty loud.

What does that mean?

Have you walked through the woods?

Yeah, I mean, you know, a little bit.

Yeah, it's pretty loud.

Yo, I got that diaper. Yeah. They call me Viper when I get that sniper. Yeah.

Fingers on the keypad because I'm a typer. Yeah.

Yeah. Hickory dickory dock.

Popping up the clock. Come on. Touch up one, touch it down. Hickory dickory

dock. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Hip hop, hip hop, real hip hop. Yo.

Do it like that. I do it like that.

Yo. Hey.

Yeah, sorry.

Thought I saw someone.

You good?

Yeah, I don't know. Keep moving.

I don't know nothing about these houses.

Amen.

Hello?

The fishing.

Yeah, it's good, I guess.

Here's the house.

Wow. Wow.

No.

Thank you.

Do you think we'll be lonely out here?

I mean, we discussed it, right?

It's not permanent.

Yeah, but, I mean, we don't have to live here.

We could sell this place, find a place of our own.

I mean, my family owns this cabin. I don't know why we wouldn't take

of it, right? Yeah, I know, but we're in the middle of nowhere.

I mean, there are people here. There are people who live here.

Are there?

Yeah.

Dude, there's the lady.

Wait, which lady? Have you guys seen Arjun?

I haven't seen him.

He's probably hiking.

Freestyle or whatever.

Well, you could have at least left a fucking note.

Thank you.

So you grew up here your whole life?

My mom moved us up here when I was five or six.

She bought the motel in town.

Your mom still runs the motel?

She did. She passed away a couple years ago.

Sorry.

Okay.

But I do now.

That's rad.

And it feels like home?

Here? Mm -hmm.

Uh, yeah, I mean... I love this place, you know.

It does not always love me back, but I do love it.

You met your neighbors yet?

No.

And, uh... I don't think I will.

Some of them got weird shit on their lawns.

Strange things in the windows.

Yeah. A lot of BB gun action.

Well... You be careful.

You know, folks can get a little hostile.

Spare that in mind.

Yeah.

You have a gun?

No. Do you?

Yeah.

Yeah. You live around here. You have a gun.

For hunting?

For whatever you need a gun for.

Arjun?

Arjun? Ar

-Arjun?

Oh, God.

Where's Arden?

I don't think he's back yet.

I'm gonna join him tonight.

I'm gonna go make dinner.

Okay.

Hey there.

You staying here?

It's my home.

Been in my wife's family for years.

We never seen you here before.

Or your wife.

Do you need something?

No.

We thought you should know that there were bears in those woods this morning.

Thanks. You might want to be careful.

Appreciate it.

I think I'm going to buy a gun.

I'm not going to use it.

But if guys like that can just show up here, I just feel a lot safer.

Okay.

Yeah.

I hear that.

I want you to feel safe.

I want us to feel safe.

You think they're all right?

Yeah, they're fine.

Where are they?

They're camping.

How do you know?

Taylor told us.

Right there by the fire.

I didn't see her.

What?

You know what?

I think I'm going to go find them.

Right now? Yes.

Okay.

Let's take a deep breath.

We can wait until morning.

And if they're not back, we'll go together, okay?

It doesn't make any sense to go right now. It's going to be dark soon, and if

they come back, we won't even be here. Fine.

We'll go in the morning.

Arjun. No one would find him, she thought.

If he didn't want to be found.

Maybe he would return.

But it was safer.

They say he drowned in the water.

But then one day, he returned.

Shadow of himself.

She never left.

She waited for him.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about?

Crazy fucking story, right?

Are you good?

Where the fuck you been?

Don't wait.

Just go!

What?

This isn't lake water, is it?

Yeah. Right.

Still, there's light after the storm.

Hey, I... Yeah?

I'll always be there for you, okay? Yeah.

We gotta protect each other.

Times like these.

You have to protect yourself.

Protect from what?

What the fuck?

Where the fuck are you going, man?

Just...

So let them hear you.

Taylor? Taylor!

Taylor!

Taylor!

Taylor! Arjun!

Arjun! Arjun!

Arjun!

Hi. Do you want to come in? Sure. Yeah. Okay. Thanks.

Um, is the Kenner around?

Uh, he's not, Sherry.

Okay.

Will he be back soon? I could hang out. Is that cool with you?

Uh, you're welcome to hang out. I don't know when he's going to be back, so I'm

sorry. Oh.

Okay.

You all right?

Uh, he...

He left a few nights ago without leaving a note, and I just haven't heard from

him since, so I'm not exactly sure where he is.

Okay.

Is that normal for him to just take off?

No, not really.

It's not. Nope.

I think our friend Arjun, who I think you met, he's been camping in the woods

the other side of the property, and I think, again, I probably just went to go

see him on the phone.

Okay, I'm sorry. So you haven't heard from either of them in a couple days?

Have you gone out to look for him?

Yeah, I mean, no. I don't know those woods back there. I would just be

walking through them. Okay.

You've been coming here your whole life, is that right?

Yeah. Okay.

So then you've heard stories about what goes on in those woods.

Yeah, but I mean, those are just...

Those are stories. For you.

But for Ikenna, for me, those are warnings.

And they're history.

And I know you know who you're surrounded by out here.

You need to go look for him.

I mean, what do you want me to do? Just, like, randomly walk into the woods? I

need you to try.

Okay.

Now. Yeah, I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

My door almost blew up the hinges last night. Did you see the sky turn white?

And I thought of you.

I thought the worst of things.

Water can be rebirth, right?

Light after the storm.

Peace.

Escape.

That's what I thought.

Don't.

Sometimes it's better to forget.

For your own sake.

Where is she?

Waiting.

Ikenna!

Ikenna! I saw her every night, go out on the water,

hoping you'd be there when she got back.

Every night.

I knew it was only a matter of time.

She'd go out and talk to the lady of the lake.

Sometimes it's better to talk to someone who just gets it, you know what I mean?

You know.

Of course you do.

And then one night, she went out and she didn't come back.

And I thought that would be it that would be enough

But

it's

not and she's gone and I'm still stuck here

Don't look at me that way. It's your own fault.

She knew exactly what she was getting herself into.

She brought it on herself.

She knew the story too, just like I did when it happened to me.

And why does she get to be happy and I don't?

I said, don't look at me that way.

Yay!
