Hi, honey.

- [Charles] Where the hell are you?

- I know, I know. Traffic's crazy.

Hmm, I've been gridlocked for the past hour, babe.

Some like accident or wreck or something.

Oh, my god. Is that a body?

- [Charles] We're gonna miss the flight.

- Okay. I'm going as fast as I can, babe.

It's not my fault you booked the flight last minute.

- [Charles] It leaves in an hour and a half, Mariah.

- Okay, well, what do you want me to do?

Oh, I already prayed to the traffic gods.

- [Charles] I know you were passed out

when I left this morning.

[brooding music continues]

or we're gonna be late.

It's only four o'clock, Mariah.

You can't keep this up.

I, I said I'd take you to--

- I'm fine, okay. Jesus.

I had one too many cocktails at the airport.

It's not my fault the flight was delayed.

- Smelt it on you when you picked me up.

[sighs] Drinking isn't the solution here.

It's gonna take both of us and if one of us isn't willing

to put in the effort--

- I know what Dr. Morris said, okay. I was there.

[gentle anxious music]

- I'm gonna drive. [Mariah swishing water]

[Mariah spits]

- Hey,

I forgot to mention earlier.

Um,

I saw that you put the picture back up.

- Mariah. - I'm happy

to help you find your way.

- [sighs] I'm sorry ma'am,

but, uh, what makes you think we're lost?

- Just haven't seen you around here.

Wanted to make sure y'all know where you're going.

- Uh, [chuckles] we're good. Just a quick rest stop.

Thank you so much for your concern, though.

Um, we'll be on our way shortly.

- Hmm, y'all have a good day now.

- Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

So you're telling me we're staying

in the same cottages that the slaves stayed in?

I thought we were staying in actual Airbnbs, guys.

- They're kind of like Airbnbs, but more historical.

- And free. - [Mariah] Free?

- Yeah. Anna had the hookup.

Being a local, family knows everybody.

I guess somebody that works with her father

runs the plantation houses and the slave cottages now.

Which, wow, now that I say that isn't surprising whatsoever.

- Hey, my daddy and uncle are groundskeepers that's all.

So yes, they know the owners.

Oh, and when Caleb did that whole 32andMe thingy

and found out that his ancestors were slaves,

we did a deep dive.

Lo and behold, his great-aunt and great-grandmother

worked the very same plantation my daddy now works.

What are the odds of that? - Okay, wait.

So you're saying that your daddy works

at the same plantation

that Caleb's ancestors were enslaved on?

- Yeah. [chuckles] - [Caleb] What can I say?

We're dysfunctional.

- [Both] [lips smacking] Mwah.

- Uh, okay.

No, uh, but seriously seeing all the things

that's happening to our people right now,

you know people gunned down in the streets by police

who are supposed to protect us.

You know it, scared me.

It really is scary

and just wanted to know what my ancestors went through

and I thought it might make me stronger.

[faint folk music]

- You are so strong, baby.

But it's gonna be an adventure, trust me.

It's gonna be really fun.

Maybe we'll make some new friends.

My daddy says, the people out there are just lovely.

- We're closing in an hour, y'all. [chuckles]

[Anna clears throat]

- Like I said, good old Southern hospitality.

Ain't nobody in here anyway.

Like, what the fuck is her problem?

- Jesus. - All right, check.

So, we're gonna be hiking from here all the way down here.

Um...

- That is the Frogmore Plantation slave cottages,

Evermore Plantation cottages

and our final stop, Destrehan Plantation.

That's where Caleb's ancestors were housed.

- Housed? - Then I think

we can just order a cab back from there.

You all would drive back to the city.

Oh, the views along the way are supposed to be gorgeous.

Should be good fun all around.

- Hmm, sounds fun.

[Anna chuckles]

Well, I'm gonna get another one. Anyone else?

- Hell, yeah. - I don't think I can.

I'll be useless tomorrow if I go past three.

- Actually, yeah. I mean why don't we all just head to bed?

I mean, we got an early morning tomorrow.

- Oh, boo. - Oh, come on, Charles.

You don't wanna embarrass me

in front of my Creole ancestors.

I mean, do you see how they drink around here?

Don't wanna fall behind. We'll look like tourists, babe.

- Mariah. - Stella.

- Hey! - What the fuck Charles?

- You've had, you've had enough.

- Charles, it's okay, man.

Why don't we just try and have a good time, all right, bud?

[faint folk music continues]

- Right. Yeah, I'm going to bed.

- What? Come on, dude.

- It's, it's fine.

I just, you know, I wanna be well rested for tomorrow.

- [sighs] Charles, come on, man. Charles!

- Sorry, y'all.

- Are you okay?

- [sighs] Yeah. [clears throat]

- You poor thing.

- Oh, how about that other round then?

- No, I really don't think I can.

I'm honestly getting a little tired myself.

I think I might go off to bed too.

- What? - I know I'm a wimp.

[Caleb sighs]

Why don't you two have another?

- Um, you sure about that?

- Really. You two have fun, okay.

- [sighs] Okay. - Oh, poor baby.

[Anna whispering] [Caleb chuckles]

It was so lovely to meet you, Mariah.

- You too, Anna.

us watching that when, uh,

you and Charles had that fight in biochem.

Remember? - That was so dramatic

- [Charles] Oh? - [Anna] Yeah.

- [Charles] Will we be able to meet them all or?

I'd love to thank them.

- Well, I'm just so excited for daddy to meet Caleb

at the Destrehan Plantation.

I just know Caleb's gonna feel so connected there.

[gentle apprehensive music]

- Hey, wait up.

- Hey, everything all right?

- Look.

- Geez. Hello, creeps.

- Why are they staring at us?

- Hey. - What are you doing?

- Can we help you?

Hello? Hmm, not the talkative types.

- Yo! You guys all right?

[gentle apprehensive music]

[Mariah scoffs]

- Okay, well I guess there are two universal truths

in this world, death and the persistent talent

of men making women feel uncomfortable

no matter where we go. [chuckles]

It's a gift, truly.

[gentle apprehensive music continues]

Gosh, it's so beautiful.

So much tradition.

Ah, well don't you just adore these houses?

- Looks like every Black person's nightmare to me, but--

- [Anna] Oh, come on, C.

- How do we check in?

[insects buzzing] [gentle apprehensive music]

- Well, it didn't actually say on the booking site,

but my daddy did say that, usually,

there'd be an attendant to get you the key

or whatever was needed.

Wait, C.

- [Caleb] What? I mean, it was open.

[suspenseful music]

- Hello?

Uh, anyone here?

We're trying to check in.

- Yeah, some people here, all right.

- Fucking White people, dude.

[suspenseful music continues]

- Wow, I always wanted one of these as a kid.

- [Charles] Where is everyone?

I thought this was a museum that paid.

- [Anna] Oh, look at the little dolls.

They kinda look like you.

[apprehensive music]

["Dixie" car horn blaring] [gunshots blasting]

- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

[gentle suspenseful music]

- [scoffs] These are fucking creepy.

- Oh! - Jesus fucking Christ!

I, I-I thought you were a mannequin.

- [Claudia] She doesn't talk much.

One of our many great re-enactors

here at the Plantation.

Slave Revolt of 1811.

News of the recent revolution in Haiti spread quickly.

So on January 8, 1811, Charles Deslondes

a slave of the nearby Deslondes Plantation,

led a revolt that spread through the parish.

On January 9, 1811, the revolt was extinguished.

Will you be staying at any of the other plantations?

The children are just so important, aren't they?

The mistresses made it their mission to keep them well fed.

Became part of the family in a way.

- Uh yeah, so this one and a couple others

along the 20 mile swamp trek.

Not staying in any of the main houses,

just the former housings for the workforce.

Assuming that's how these Airbnb type experiences work.

- Slaves, Charles. They were slaves.

- Right. I know-- - Lovely choices.

I think you'll find them surprisingly accommodating.

And the people out here are just wonderful.

I hope it doesn't get too packed tonight.

It can get a little tight in those cabins.

[soft ominous music]

Oh, but I wouldn't worry if I were you.

The people that come out here are far more personable

than what you'd find in the inner cities these days.

- Thank you, ma'am. - [Claudia] I'll be around

if y'all need anything.

- What the fuck? - She's so cute.

- Fuck it. - Thank you.

Mon petit,

[keys jingle]

forgetting something?

[Anna chuckles]

- Oh, right.

[foreboding music]

[keys jingle]

[foreboding music continues]

- [Charles] Wait, so did I catch that right?

Other people could be staying here with us?

I, I thought these were like, turned into Airbnb properties.

- [Anna] Not quite, but I believe this is it.

- [Mariah] Not quite?

- [Anna] Well, they're more like open campgrounds.

You know, anyone could just come and go as they please.

My daddy says that they're trying

to build community engagement

and get people interested in the history again

out here at these places.

Other than weddings,

it's hard to get much good publicity out here.

- Hmm, I wonder why?

These former slave holdings are open to all,

to stay, to learn and to reconnect.

You may come and go as you please anytime you wish.

So please be courteous and welcoming

to all guests you may encounter

on your stay here at Frogmore Plantations.

- [Anna] Thanks to the patronage of Destrehan family.

Wow. Spacious.

I don't know why anyone complained

about these places back then.

[ominous music]

[frogs croaking]

- I love this movie. It's called "The Human Centipede".

I can't say the same for Charles, obviously,

but basically it's about this doctor

who makes a human centipede out of people

by attaching their mouths to the other person's anus.

- Ew. No way. - Yeah.

- What? - Wow.

And you like that?

- [Caleb] I mean, I thought it was pretty gnarly, actually.

That's, you know, it's in the young days.

Young adolescent days, you know.

- Whoa. - Charles, dude,

I know you gotta have some cool hospital stories, bro.

- Uh, no, not really.

I mean I'm still just a resident.

So uh, no, nothing interesting.

Pass me your bowl. - Yeah.

Come on, Charles, dude.

I know you gotta have at least one story. Come on.

Story, story. - Story, story, story, story.

[urgent knocking]

[people laughing] - Well, uh,

I guess we have company.

[people laughing]

- I'll get it. Bunch of babies.

It'll be fun. First bayou buddies.

[gentle foreboding music]

Hi.

- Well, how y'all doing?

- Well, we are doing just fine, sir.

May I presume you'll be joining us?

- Hi, Charles. - Charles, this there thing.

That, that, that's a sad sight there. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

But you don't need a fire. It's warm tonight.

You know these cottages,

they don't come with all the amenities,

but they are what you make 'em, you know?

Mm-hmm? - Well, it was good enough

for my ancestors, so I'm sure we'll be just fine.

[Nathan laughing]

- Pass the whiskey around, boys.

Let our guests feel some true Southern hospitality.

- Oh, yeah. We got cookies, cookies.

- [Caleb] Okay, I just...

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

[fingers snapping]

- All yours.

[gentle foreboding music]

- It ain't Henny, but fuck it.

- [Lee] There you go.

[Caleb coughing] - [Anna] Oh, baby.

[others laughing]

- [coughing] Goddamn. - You okay, baby?

- That shit is strong.

- Pass it around. Pass it around.

Plenty where that come from.

[gentle foreboding music]

[Caleb coughs, clears throat]

- Actually, I'll pass.

My mom said to never drink a bottle from a stranger.

So thanks for the offer.

[bottle scraping]

- Well, your mammy was a smart woman.

- Excuse me?

- I said your mommy was a smart woman.

- I love mommy. [foreboding music]

- But it's bad luck to turn good bourbon down around here.

- Good thing I don't believe in superstition.

- Suit yourself then.

[Nathan coughing]

How about you, young lady?

[foreboding music]

[drink gurgling]

[Anna snickers]

- Ah, that's my girl.

- Well, well, well. Let the night begin.

- [Anna] Woo, woo. [laughing]

[Anna clapping] [Caleb coughing]

I knew you'd have fun here.

- Yeah! - [laughs] That's some

good bourbon, ain't it?

- Uh, so uh, where are you guys coming from?

- I guess you say, uh, we come from here.

You know the swamp's the only home we know.

- Hm.

- How about you?

- Who me? Uh, Atlanta. - [Lee] Right.

But where are you really from?

[Earl laughs] - Um, sorry?

- [Charles] So how do you guys know each other again?

- [Earl] He's my daddy.

- Yeah, we're just a bunch of war buddies.

- Oh, that's, that's interesting. Uh, which war?

- Civil war.

- Hmm, I know what side he served on.

- Sir, yes, sir! Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

- [Lee] [chuckles] Don't mind him. He gets lost sometimes.

You can't take the soldier out of the man.

[soft brooding music]

- My dad was in the army.

- And what's your job, boy?

[apprehensive music]

- Well, I'm a web design and marketing professional,

but you know, my real passion is--

- Well, isn't that nice?

Why don't you sing for us then?

- Sing something, baby.

- Uh. - [Lee] Come on, boy.

Sing us a song.

- Uh. - Sing.

- [Mariah] He's clearly not a boy.

- [Nathan] Everyone's so sensitive nowadays.

Shit a boy, hell Lee. Try and translate it.

[Earl chuckles]

- This is shit. Can we fucking go?

- Yeah, and how about you, pretty lady?

- Me? I'm just studying.

- Uh-huh, and what you studying?

- [chuckles] African American Lit.

- Aw, that's nice.

Pretty and smart.

- She's with me.

- Okay, calm down there, young buck.

I'm just kidding ya.

Hm?

How long you two been married?

- How'd you know that?

- I could tell from the weariness in your eyes.

You done some time there, boy.

Here's to you.

[laughs] Come on, don't give me that look.

Little hissy foot. I was only kidding with ya.

You got yourself a nice, beautiful, exotic woman.

- Exotic? What's that supposed to mean?

- Oh-ho-ho, I'll be. I didn't even see it.

Come on now. We need some music.

- Okay, well what about the other one?

- What other one? - There was four of them.

- There were? - Dawg, how much

did we have to drink last night?

[others laughing]

- Yeah, I woke up and I saw it.

He took the knife to his tongue and he cut it out.

- What? - And he was like crying

and he, he was fucking panicking

and he was having a meltdown.

- Oh my God. I can't believe this.

- Dawg, I want what she had.

[guys laughing]

- I think you had, uh, too much to drink, dear.

All right. [package thuds]

- Yeah, that shit was strong.

- No, no. I swear, guys.

- I hardly remember anything about last night,

now that I think of it.

- I had a fucking blast, though.

Those backwoods freaks were surprisingly a good time.

I mean I was a little on edge coming here,

you know, thinking about my ancestors and all.

But I judged the book by its cover.

- [Charles] Whoa, I don't know if we should associate

books with those guys.

Gives them a little too much credit.

[others laughing] - Seriously?

Are you not listening to anything I just fucking said?

And do you not remember how they were talking to you, Caleb?

- Jesus. Mariah, come on now.

It's only day two.

I know we're down here to reconnect

and learn about Caleb's and maybe your past,

so we're a little on edge.

But not everyone down here is a racist.

- Oh, real sweet coming from you, Charles.

Like, you'd know one if you saw one.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- You didn't even stand up for me

when that racist bitch had her hands near me in New Orleans.

- Oh my god, really?

She was just- - Yo! Yo!

I didn't invite y'all down here

for a marriage counseling session, Jesus.

I mean, can we soak some of this in

without being miserable all the time?

[footsteps plodding] Fuck!

- You had too much to drink.

- I barely drank. [pills rattling]

[tense music]

[Charles scoffs]

- Unbelievable.

[insects chirping]

- Mariah, maybe we just all had

a little too much to drink last night.

These places are just getting more and more popular.

I bet she was going to one of them.

[Charlie sighing]

Just trying to help.

- Hey, y'all gonna be okay?

- Yeah.

- Hey, probably just a really bad nightmare,

all right?

Yeah, that moonshine

was definitely some tainted crap, though.

Look, it probably just hit you the wrong way, okay?

[brooding music continues]

You're fine, Mariah, all right?

Very fine.

Look, it was a long day yesterday, okay.

Give yourself a break.

Come on.

[brooding music fades]

[sinister growling] [ominous music]

Wow, ah, you can really feel the history at this one.

It's so crazy we're staying in the same place

that our ancestors were forced to live in.

[frogs croaking] [insects buzzing]

Hey Charles, can I get a light, man?

[foreboding music]

[flashlight clicks]

- What's that?

- Oh, I was just jotting down feelings and thoughts,

you know about being in this space.

You know what an honor it is to be Black

and what a privilege it is, you know, to be here.

How strong our ancestors must've been

to go through this, man.

I'll take that back with me when we leave.

[Anna knocking]

[Anna knocking]

Okay. - Hey, how'd you know

these were back here?

[suspenseful music]

- Her dad runs the properties, remember?

Maintain 'em for like weddings and shit, right, baby?

- [Anna] Right. [chuckles]

- Come on.

[ominous music]

[knife banging]

[ominous music]

Well, guess it's not just us tonight.

[knife banging]

Yo, you good man?

You good, bro?

[knife banging]

Yo, why I feel you people are fucking crazy?

Can we help you find something, my man?

- Are you okay, sir?

- Does he fucking look okay?

- Yo, dude, you really freaking us out.

[knife banging]

Okay, I'm over this fucker--

[loud banging]

- [laughs] New friends.

Hi, friends.

- Um, hi.

- I was just flying. Did you see me?

- [Caleb] Nah, uh, I don't think we did.

- [chuckles] Well, you can fly too if you want.

I can show you.

You just have to remove all your lamps. [chuckles]

- [Caleb] I, uh-- - Come on y'all.

Join little ole me by the table. [hand patting]

[knife banging]

- Um, so what's up with your man over, here?

- [Alice] Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's just my brother Earl.

Don't mind him. [chuckles]

- So, uh, where are you guys coming from?

- Oh, well, I've lived in these swamps for years.

As long as I can remember.

Tending to the garden and you know.

[kettle whistling] - Okay,

so you tend the grounds around here?

- Huh? [laughing] Oh, y'all haven't been there have you?

Oh, my lord. Oh, you'll love it there.

[kettle whistling]

And you would fit right in.

- Why is that?

[kettle whistling]

- [gasps] Oh, I think the tea might be done.

Let me check. [kettle whistling]

- Okay, uh, what you eating, my man?

[Earl gobbling]

- Hey, save some for me. Don't eat it all.

You son of a...

Y'all want something to eat? We have a fresh kill.

- [Caleb] A, a fresh kill?

- Hmm. Y'all look so scared.

What if I said it was human? Would you freak out?

[chuckles] I'm kidding. Geez, it's just a deer.

We shot it this morning. [laughs]

- Sissy. - What?

- We're out.

I got, I was really hungry

and my tummy started hurting, Sissy. I'm sorry.

- What? - I finished it.

[blow thuds]

- [Sissy] Why did you do that? We have guests.

- [groans] I'm sorry, Sissy. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean nothing by it. [blow thuds]

[coughing] Please, Sissy.

Don't [sobbing] tell Daddy. Please don't tell Daddy.

- Well, this is so embarrassing.

- That's, uh, that's okay. We, we brought our own food.

- Right. Y'all want some whiskey?

Earl, [fingers snapping] the whiskey.

- The whiskey.

[suspenseful music]

[Alice sighs]

-Oh, I'm good. Thank you.

But if that tea's ready, I might...

- Um-hmm. Hm? - You know what?

Yeah, I'll have some.

[cork pops]

[suspenseful music]

I'm sure my wife would love some as well.

What? I'm right, aren't I?

[bottle thuds]

- No thanks. [glass rattling]

- Well, ah, this is fun.

I'm having fun. [giggles] So...

[suspenseful music] [insects chirping]

Hey, do you mind if I ask you a, a personal question?

- Me? - Hmm.

- Sure.

- Promise you won't get upset.

- Oh, I can't promise you that.

- Please. Please.

- [Mariah] What's your question?

- I just wanted to ask.

How does it feel to,

you know?

- [Mariah] What?

- You lost your child, right?

[ominous music]

How does that feel? Is it just unbearable?

- How do you...

Who told you that?

- Don't worry. These cottages are safe spaces.

I mean, you can feel whatever you need to in here.

- I'm gonna step out.

[Earl groans]

- I didn't mean to upset you.

- [Charles] Where you going, Mariah?

- I had to ask. - Mariah!

- [Anna] Oh, I'll go to her.

- That's okay, babe. I'll go.

- Sissy, I'll, I'll go.

[suspenseful music] [insects chirping]

- Hey, you okay?

[frogs croaking]

- I'm fine.

- What the hell was that about?

She like a mind reader or something?

Hey, hey. Hey, it's gonna be okay, all right?

Trust me.

[frogs croaking]

It's gonna be okay.

[frogs croaking] [suspenseful music]

- [sighs] What are we doing?

- I'm comforting.

- How is that comforting me?

- I'm, I'm sorry. I thought we--

- No, you shouldn't have done that.

You don't feel like we shouldn't have done that

with your best friend and your,

and your girlfriend are in there?

- Fuck, I'm, I'm sorry.

I just, I thought, M, I like you.

Okay, I really like you. M, I--

- We were drunk and, and, and it was a mistake. [sighs]

It shouldn't have happened. Please stop.

I'm sorry. Charles is being an asshole.

- Charles is at least trying. He's trying, okay?

God, I gotta give him that. [whimpering]

- Okay. I'm sorry.

[frogs croaking] [somber music]

Wait M, where you going?

- [crying] I just need to be left have alone, okay.

I just, I wanna be alone.

[somber music] [frogs croaking]

- Wait, Mariah, I still have to tell you I...

I love you. [somber music]

Fuck.

[ominous music]

[Charles laughing]

[laughing echoing] [ominous music]

[sinister laughing] [sensual moaning]

- [Earl] Get up! - [Mariah] Get off me!

- [Earl] Drink the tea! - [Mariah] Get off me!

- Oh, just take a sip. - [Mariah] Get off me!

Help me.

[ominous music swells]

- Wake up. - [Mariah] Get off, get off

get off, get off! [voice echoing]

[gunshots blasting]

[window slams]

[insects chirping]

[Charles whistling]

[water splashing]

- Caleb. Anna.

- What time is it?

- What the hell, you guys.

- [groans] What? What?

- You guys all just decided to get high

outta your fucking minds and not warn me?

- What are you talking about?

- You left me alone with those fucking psychos.

- Whoa. Wait, whoa.

What, what are you talking about?

- You two were fucking all night long.

Charles, you just lied there useless.

- Whoa. Whoa. - We had sex

in front of everyone?

- What are you talking about?

- I had to listen to you moaning all night.

- I wouldn't do that.

- I, I can't remember anything.

- You drank some fucking tea.

There was something in it

and they tried to force me to drink it too.

- Tea? I don't drink tea.

- What do you remember?

Charles?

[Caleb groans]

[Caleb groans]

- We should be heading to the next cottage.

- What? No, we're done, okay.

We need to be going back.

- It's only a couple miles away.

- No, Charles, I don't wanna do this anymore.

- We're just having fun, Mariah.

There's nothing to be worried about.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

- No, we're not going to the next fucking plantation!

Those psychos drugged me.

They, they drugged you guys and they attacked me.

- Mariah-- - Stop acting so paranoid,

Mariah. - Charles, please.

- [Charles] Get your stuff together.

I wanna get there with enough daylight left

so Caleb can properly explore and reflect.

- Um, I don't know, man.

I think we should head back, you know.

- [laughs] What are you so worried about?

- I mean, Christ, sounds like you two had a great time.

- What's gotten into you?

- [Charles] Wish Mariah would do that for me.

- What's going on with you?

- What's going on with me? I feel great.

If you'd just loosened up a little, you'd feel great too.

I think, isn't that why we all came out here,

to get away from our responsibilities for once?

- No, I don't wanna run anymore.

I don't wanna not be present.

- Not present?

What are you trying to say Mariah, huh?

Would you speak up? I can't hear you, darling!

- If you had been present,

we might still be fucking parents!

[somber music]

- Oh, you need to relax. We're on vacation.

Oh, whoa. [laughing] Will you look at that?

What a beautiful day.

[insects chirping]

What? Let's go, gang.

[Charles chuckles]

[Charles humming] [ominous music]

♪ There's a better ♪

♪ Home awaiting ♪

♪ In the sky, Lord ♪

- [Anna] Gosh, it's so beautiful.

So much tradition.

Don't you just adore these houses?

- [Charles] This is gorgeous.

- Destrehan Manor has the distinction

of being the oldest antebellum home

found along the Mississippi River.

It was built in 1790 for the wealthy French landowner,

Celeste de Logny and her husband Jean Noel Destrehan.

Their daughters Zelia and Louise

ran the estate until their untimely deaths.

- Ha, I mean, I don't get it.

How did you get your last name?

This your, uh,

great-great-great-grandparent's place or something?

- Told you this already, Charles.

- You know, I heard this was

actually one of the better plantations.

- What, huh? Better?

- Yeah, apparently the slaves here were treated very well.

So I'm told.

- Who told you that?

- Lee. - Lee?

- [Charles] Yeah, Lee.

Our friend.

[ominous music]

- Uh, I, I think he means one of the men

that stayed with us that first night.

- Yeah, what, whatever. What exactly is your point, Charles?

- Guys, look workers. I wonder if they know my daddy.

[eerie music]

- Friendly, huh?

[Anna chuckling] [bird squawking]

- [Charles] Guys, come on.

- [Anna] Okay, come on, baby.

[eerie music] [birds squawking]

- [Mariah] Ugh.

- Can I help y'all?

- Well, yes actually, we were looking for the Airbnbs.

Would you mind pointing us in the right direction?

[worker scoffs, spits]

Okay, right. Okay, well thank you anyway.

We'll just be going.

- It's nice to have you back. - Sorry?

[worker giggling]

- You must think I've got the greatest humor now.

I said it's nice to have you back.

- You must have me mistaken.

- Oh, I'd never confuse such a pretty face.

- [Caleb] Mariah! Come on.

[worker laughing]

[Mariah whimpering] Hey, you okay?

What the hell was that?

[eerie music] [birds squawking]

- Let me guess! We should just go around back, right?

Assuming that's where the cottages are. You know what?

I'm gonna ask the workers where the Airbnb is myself.

'Cause I don't see anything around here

that looks like a fucking Airbnb do you?

- Okay, well why don't you--

- Oh, I'm, I'm sorry.

God forbid we trespassed this property

without knowing where we're going, right?

[eerie music] [birds squawking]

Uh um, uh. [whimpering]

- Hello, Mariah.

- How do you know my name?

Right well, uh, we're hiking

through the trails to the bayou,

and, uh, I was wondering if you knew

the owners of the property

or if you knew where they were, if they're here?

Or do you know where the Airbnbs or the cottages are?

It's a large property and, and, and we don't, we--

- Pinga. - [Mariah] I-I don't know

what that is. Is that Creole?

I don't speak it.

Oh, okay. Okay, thank you.

[leaves rustling] [ominous music]

- [Charles] Woo-hoo, yeah!

- [Anna] Come on, y'all.

[ominous music] [birds squawking]

Well, I guess this must be it then.

- Look at this. What the fuck? [laughing]

What the fuck? [laughing]

[frogs croaking] [ominous music]

[Charles humming]

- Well, hey, at least we got the place to ourselves tonight.

[frogs croaking] [insects chirping]

[Charles humming]

- Hey, if anyone else comes,

no drinking or anything tonight, okay.

Let's take it easy.

- Yeah, agreed.

- Hey, Mariah.

I'm really sorry about last night.

I don't know what got into us.

I truly don't remember anything.

- It's okay.

All right, I think I'm gonna go to bed soon.

- Yeah, me too.

- What? You guys are so boring.

Come on. The night's young.

Let's have a drink.

Oh, I know I got something here.

- Nah, I think we're just gonna take it easy, Charles.

- Easy, why? Easy's boring.

Go on.

All right, have it your way.

Doesn't need to stop Mariah and I from having fun.

Isn't that right, wifey?

[ominous music]

Really? Now that I want to, you don't?

What, what, what?

I'm having fun.

Isn't this what you always wanted? [sighs]

[Charles sighs]

- How did she know about Sam?

[insects chirping] [frogs croaking]

- Who?

- That girl last night.

How did she know about Sam?

[Charles chuckles]

Charlie.

Charles, please talk to me.

- [laughs] Now, mm, now she wants to talk. [laughs]

- I, I-I know I haven't been available.

I know I've been distant, closed off.

But I need you right now.

We need you.

There's something going on out there.

- There's nothing going on out here, Mariah.

The people are, they're nice. They're our friends.

- Nope, they're not.

They're especially not me or Caleb's friends.

You haven't even seen

what they're doing when you're asleep.

And those weird fucking cries. This isn't normal, guys.

Wake up. [hands banging]

[frogs croaking] [insects chirping]

- Mm, speaking of Caleb,

at least my old friend here's having a good time.

He's getting all the action. [laughing]

How was my wife, Caleb?

[ominous music]

How, how was she?

She hasn't sucked my cock in ages.

Did she take it up the ass for you?

She never lets me get near it. Such a prude.

- Wait, what?

- I, I don't know what he's talking about.

Charles, what the fuck is wrong with you, dude?

- What is he talking about?

- Nothing, baby. He's, he's just trying to start shit.

- Why did you say that? - [Charles] Mm.

- Charles, why did you say that?

- What, she doesn't, [laughing] she doesn't... [laughing]

[Charles coughing] [fist banging]

- Mariah. [Charles coughing]

- Baby, hey, he's, he's just being a fucking asshole.

Charles, yo, this shit ain't funny, dude.

[Charles laughing]

Hey, babe. Hey, hey, let's just go to bed, all right?

First thing tomorrow we're gonna call,

we'll go to some local town, we'll call a Uber.

We'll get the first ride back to New Orleans, okay?

All this shit'll be over. Okay, come on.

- She doesn't, she doesn't [laughing]...

- [Caleb] Come on. - She doesn't,

oh, she doesn't.

She doesn't, she doesn't.

- [Caleb] Come on, baby. Come on.

Let's go to bed. Come on.

- [Charles] Oh, fuck.

Fuck. [laughing] Geez, she, probably never did.

She doesn't love me no more. Probably never did. [crying]

Don't love me no more. Probably never did.

- Charles. [crying]

- She doesn't...

She doesn't love me anymore.

Probably never did. [laughing]

She doesn't love me anymore, probably never did. [laughing]

[suspenseful music]

- [Caleb] Charles! - [Mariah] Charlie!

- [Anna] Charles.

- Charlie! - Charles!

Charlie! - It'll be okay, all right?

- How can you fucking say that?

We've been looking for hours? God.

[suspenseful music]

[eerie music]

- What the fuck? - Oh.

This one's kinda cute.

Hmm, kind of looks like Caleb.

[eerie music]

- [Mariah] Guys, look.

[suspenseful music]

- They look like they're headed back

towards the plantation house.

- You think that's Charlie?

- Huh.

[suspenseful music] [insects buzzing]

[eerie music]

Charles!

- [Caleb] Charlie.

[foreboding music]

- [Mariah] Charles. [whimpers] Charlie!

- [Caleb] Charlie!

- Charles!

[foreboding music]

- Okay, okay maybe he met up with one of the owners

and is getting a tour of the house.

- What? A tour?

Anna, what? - Yeah. A tour.

- [Caleb] What the fuck are you talking about?

- Charles! - Baby,

I'm just trying to help. - Maybe he caught a cab

so he can get the fuck outta here.

- Okay, we have been looking everywhere, okay?

I'm just trying to help, baby.

Let's just check the house. Okay?

- Charles! - Charlie!

[Mariah sobbing]

Oh fuck.

[eerie music] Mariah!

- [Mariah] Charles!

- Baby, baby, go.

- All right. - Baby, go.

- [Caleb] Charlie!

- [Mariah] Charles!

[ominous music]

- [Anna] Hey, baby, go. Go.

- [Caleb] Charlie! Come on.

This shit isn't fucking funny.

- [Mariah] Charlie.

Charlie. [crying]

[dramatic booming]

[sinister music]

- Charles!

[faint roaring]

What the fuck?

- Charlie.

[sinister music continues]

- [Caleb] Mariah.

[Charlie muttering]

[sinister music continues]

- Charlie. Baby?

[Charlie muttering]

- Oh, my god.

- Charlie. - Charlie.

- [Caleb] Charles, come on. Talk to me.

Charlie, it's time to snap out of it.

Come on we gotta go home. - Wake up, wake up Charlie.

Listen to me. Listen to me. - Charles.

- [Mariah] Listen to me.Charlie. Charlie, I need you. I need you.

I need you, Charlie. Come on. - Oh, fuck.

- [Mariah] Charlie. Charles. [sobbing]

- There they are. - [Mariah] Oh.

Welcome. - [Mariah] Baby. come on.

- Welcome to the Destrehan Plantation.

- [Mariah] [sobbing] Oh, my god.

- You finally made it.

- Anna. Anna, take my hand.

Anna. Anna?

[foreboding music]

- [Mariah] No, no, no.

No, no-no-no, no-no-no, no, no-no-no! [sobbing]

No! Charlie, Charlie wake up. [Caleb grunts]

Wake up, Charlie. - Whoa, boy.

You're getting ahead of yourself.

- Wake up, Charlie. - Come on now.

You need to save that energy for the field.

- Charlie, wake up, wake up, please.

- In the meantime my buddy, Earl.

[blow thuds] - [Mariah] Oh! [crying]

- My buddy, Earl, would be more than happy

to show you some good old hometown Southern hospitality

if you needed to burn some energy.

[blow thuds] [Caleb moans]

[Charles crazed laughing] Earl.

[ominous music]

[blows thudding]

- Oh. - Go on now!

No, no, no! [crying] - Woah! [laughing]

- Why are you doing this? Help! No! [crying]

- [Earl] Come on now, boy.

[blow thudding] [Caleb moaning]

- What's going on here? No! - Come on now.

- [Mariah] No, no! [crying]

Why are you doing this?

- You look great, my boy.

- No, Charlie, no. Help me. - Yeah.

- Charlie. No, no. [sobbing]

Why? Why? [sobbing]

No. [crying]

No, no-no-no-no.

No! No, help please.

Please, help! [sobbing]

Why are you doing this?

- You can call me Momma.

- [All] Momma. Momma.

Momma. Momma.

Momma. Momma.

Momma. [dramatic booming]

[people chattering]

- Bonjour, mon petit.

Oh, don't be rude, now.

She's part of the family. [chuckles]

- [Mariah] [crying] Why are you doing this?

Ooh no, no, no.

- Don't you see?

I am giving people like you and this boy here an opportunity

that you would never be granted out there.

The lynching.

Young boys and girls being gunned down in the streets,

in their homes, on runs, in their cars.

Nowhere in this world is safe for people like you.

Nowhere in this world has it ever

truly been safe for people like you.

You see these plantations have always been misunderstood,

seen as prisons, when in reality

they were safe havens for people like you,

the lessers of this world.

- You can't really be claiming to help anyone,

you crazy fucking bitch!

- Oh, but you see I am. It's true.

We benefit as a unit.

[kiss smacks]

As a family.

All of us.

It's a shame he could've been useful around the property,

but he's too far gone now.

[both chuckle]

You see, when we first moved here some 200 odd years ago,

I had a vision in these swamps.

These swamps that hold a power like no other.

They are home to what the Creole down here called Bondye

or Bon dieu, French for good God.

And he sure is a god of good.

[others laughing]

[Claudia sighs]

And as I have always been gifted with special powers

and privileges, this Bondye spoke to me,

told me what I needed to do to preserve my family.

And in this vision,

I was told that in return

for the sacrifices I made to the bayou

by planting the less fortunate in the garden,

they would ascend to an afterlife,

the bayou would thrive

and my family would persevere

through all the great hardships

that were soon to befall our great community.

The great war, the abolishment of our workforce,

our way of life.

Now, we couldn't just hand over

our entire workforce. [laughing]

But, sacrifice we did

and lo and behold,

we lived on,

never aging, never changing.

Just trying to keep up with our ever changing times.

In the garden, you are not lessers but made equal.

In the bayou out here where past and present are one,

you can see him again.

Mariah, this is your chance.

You are ready.

You don't wanna be part of a world

where you can't take care of your own.

- No. [crying] - [Claudia] Your poor boy.

He never had a momma to take care of him.

- How do you know that? [sobbing]

- I am doing you a favor.

This is symbiosis.

This is redemption for all of us.

- [Others] For all of us.

- [laughs] Commence the ceremony.

- [Mariah] No, no-no-no no, no, no! [crying]

No, no, no. [crying] [sinister music]

No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no! [crying]

No, no. [Caleb screams]

[ominous music]

No, no, Charles. Charles, no! [crying]

No, Charles, Charles, don't.

No, no, no, no. No! [sobbing]

- Such a shame. - [Mariah] No, no, no, baby, no!

Charles! No, no! [sobbing]

- Charles. - [Mariah] No!

I'm so scared.

[foreboding music]

I, I love you, Mariah. - [Mariah] No, Charles!

No! [Caleb gurgling]

[Charles laughing] [Mariah screaming]

[Caleb gasping] [Mariah screaming]

[Caleb gasping] Oh, no! Oh, no!

- ♪ Precious sweet Caleb ♪

♪ Caleb don't you cry ♪

♪ Precious sweet Caleb ♪

♪ I'll love you till you die ♪

- [Mariah] No, Caleb! [sobbing] - [Charles] He's better off

in the garden, Mariah.

- No! [sobbing]

- [Others] Momma. Momma. - You can see him now.

- [Mariah] Oh, Charlie. [crying] - [Others] Momma, Momma.

- I'm not mad.

- [Mariah] No. [sobbing] - And she, she wants to help.

- [Others] Momma, Momma, Momma. - She wants you

to be happy again, Mariah. - [Others] Momma, Momma, Momma.

- Good morning. [Mariah yelping]

Oh, sh-sh-sh. [Mariah sobbing]

Oh, Mariah.

It's your turn now, my love.

I wanted to be alone for this husband and wife,

as it should be.

- [Mariah] No. - As it should be.

Tell him, I'm sorry.

Tell him I love him, Mariah.

And tell him I'm sorry I wasn't there for him.

Mommy's coming, Sam. Mommy's coming.

Mommy's coming.

[eerie music]

It's all gonna be over soon, baby.

Everything will be as it was.

[insects chirping]

- [Mariah] I'm ready. [Charlie rapidly breathing]

I love you, Charlie. [whimpers]

- [Charles] What did you say?

- I love you.

Sam loved you.

And it wasn't your fault.

[somber music]

There's nothing we can do to get him back.

[Charlie sobbing]

And I know there's nothing left for us.

[Charlie sobbing]

Charlie, please. I love you.

- [Charles] Oh, oh. [sobbing]
