I don't know what to say.

I could try to recount all the long, lonely

days.

But we've got hours and plans on our plate.

Wait, how long have you been coming up here?

I know the answer to this question.

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

I guess it's just hilarious then.

Yeah.

I don't know. 20 years. Wow.

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

of the same.

He did go.

Drop that in. It's just a feeling. Nice and easy.

Oh. Why are you trying to hit my foot, dude?

Was it just a feeling?

Oh, wow.

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

Yeah. One more than you got.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I got the belt ready for you, bro.

Put your belt away.

Yes.

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 spot. Let's go.

Yeah, it's 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.

Voila.

You're fire.

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. Here 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, my God.

I've heard this story before, probably. Oh, wow. Okay, you tell us your story.

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.

She 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.

Then, one day,

On her porch.

With 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 call out for one another.

Come home.

Okay. Shut up.

Whatever.

Why did you hear that story?

Sometimes it's better to forget.

Yeah. 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.

Yeah, 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

All right, 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.

Okay.

Still, though, she plays the part, right? She wears the black gown. It was

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. And eventually

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, okay? She even

gives it a name.

Tommy.

Sweet Tommy.

Sweet Tommy.

So she starts letting Tommy...

right with her into bed with her and he like sleeps in her bed on the same side

of her bed as her husband is right and he just grows and he's growing wait like

look at the listen to the story that you're telling i mean sounds a bit like

that's not what's happening that's not what's happening you it's so annoying

hi gorgeous day

Holy shit.

Yep.

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

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

freeze, lays down, gets rigid, measures out from head to... 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 guys 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 on 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 exploding.

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

you know?

Not have to worry about all these things.

Clear your head.

Oh, fuck.

Mom.

Take me home.

Take me home.

Hide it.

Bro.

Bro. Let me check. Fuck. Bro.

Fuck. Cut 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.

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.

Do you know how to do it? Yeah, I think I just go color red to red. And then you

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

thing. No, you ground it. 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 up the lake are you?

Oh, I mean, kind of just on the lake.

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 at Oldenburg.

Huh. 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. Wow.

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

Well, it's all private property, so...

Well, now you have a connect.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Come through. You should.

Grab a beer. We got a fire pit.

Chill. Yeah, that'd be awesome.

Thanks. She seems 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.

All right. Thank you so much. Thank you.

so much all right appreciate it i am might take you guys up on that yeah

mckenna okay cool arjun fan thank you thank you guys

i mean you should come have that beer it's great she got the invitation i'm

saying she got the 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, it's the natural progression of things, right?

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

You die.

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's getting used to.

What the fuck was that?

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.

Knockin' up the clock. Come on. Clock trip one, clock trip down. Hickory

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.

Yeah, I don't know keep moving I don't know about these houses

Go on.

Hello?

Hey.

How's the fishing?

Yeah, it's good, I guess.

See you at the house.

What?

Hello?

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 a 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.

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.

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.

Just bear 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?

Arjun?

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.

You staying here?

It's my home.

Been in my wife's family for years.

We never seen you here before.

Or your wife.

Hey.

Do you need something?

No.

No, we... We thought you should know that there were bears in those woods

morning.

Thanks. You might want to be careful.

Appreciate it.

I think I'm gonna buy a gun.

I'm not gonna 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,

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.

Let's just go, guys.

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.

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,

Ike? Yeah?

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

We got it.

Protect each other in times like these.

You have to protect yourself.

Protect from what?

What the fuck?

Where the fuck are you going, man?

Just...

Taylor? Taylor!

Taylor!

Taylor!

Taylor! Arjun.

Arjun. Arjun. Arjun.

Arjun.

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

Um, is a Ken around?

Uh, he's not actually.

Okay.

Will he be back soon? I could hang out. That's cool with you.

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

though. 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 take off?

No, not really.

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 I kind of probably just went to go

see him.

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.

Huh.

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 rebirthed, 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 stories 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!
