- Journal of Reverend Edmond Fuller,

month of November in the year of our Lord, 1621.

It seems like a lifetime ago that Abigail

and I first arrived in the new world,

stumbling off the boat alongside 100 other souls

with little more than the clothes on our backs

and our hopes for the future, hopes that were dashed

when the Reverend Peters and I disagreed

over where to build our community's chapel.

The trouble spiraled from there until it was clear

the two of us weren't ever going to get along.

So it was that I convinced Abigail

it was time we struck out on our own,

knowing that with God's grace, my two hands

and sack of tools, I could build a home

and chapel for ourselves.

That was in the spring, many a month ago.

And now here we are in winter, holed up in a tiny cabin

with no warmth and not a thing to eat.

(person groaning)

Poor Abigail is ailing.

She's not long for this world

and I cannot be far behind her.

I've never known such a feeling of hunger.

My fear is that at any moment,

a madness may take hold of me.

(person groaning)

(tense music)

For what I'm about to receive,

may the Lord make me truly thankful.

(tense music)

(person screaming)

(person groaning)

(dramatic music)

(object whirring)

(thunder crashing)

"And God said to Adam, the flesh

that is torn from a living beast

at the time that its life is in it

before all its breath has gone out,

thou shall not eat nor its blood shall thee drink.

Those that disobey this command

shall never enter the kingdom of heaven

or find their rest in the earth."

(dramatic music)

(wind blowing)

This will be the final entry in this journal.

I, Reverend Edmund Fuller, hereby confess

to having committed a most terrible sin.

The sentence for such a crime is execution.

(object creaking)

Being that I am alone here,

I'm forced to carry out this sentence by my own hand

and it must be done quickly,

for I fear the hunger that drove me to such terrible acts

is rising within me once again.

May the Lord forgive me for what I have done.

- Arnie, just saw your message, a happy Thanksgiving

to you too. The cabin, it's fantastic.

It's even better than the pictures.

I mean, come on a hot tub and a steam room.

Oh, and thanks for throwing in the limo ride out here.

Sara was very appreciative, if you know what I mean.

I just gotta know, how the hell did you get

a permit to build out here?

It's all protected forest land, isn't it?

(birds chirping)

Trust you to find a way.

(gentle music)

Listen, Arnie, I can't talk for too long.

Cyndy could be here at any moment to drop off the kids.

That's what Thanksgiving's all about, right?

Getting the family together.

No, Cyndy won't need to stick around.

Thank God I mean, can you imagine?

Listen, I gotta go.

Thanks again so much for loaning the cabin.

Yeah, I'll see you in the office Tuesday.

Okay, okay, bye, bye.

Andi, Noah, happy Thanksgiving.

What's that?

The new Stephen King?

- Christ, dad, only boomers read Stephen King.

- Right.

(gentle music)

Why are you guys on foot?

Freeway's a good half mile away.

- We know that Tom, we just walked it.

- What happened to the EV?

- Dead battery.

- Come on Cyndy.

- That battery is old, I told you about it two months ago.

- That's what we have auto insurance for.

Didn't you call them?

- Yes, I called them. You took my name off the policy.

- I was gonna warn you about that.

- Look, can you just take me back

to town once the kids are settled in?

- No, I don't have a car out here.

- What?

- Don't worry.

I'll make some calls, let's just head on inside.

You're not gonna believe this place.

Six bedrooms, kitchen, steam room, hot tub.

(gentle music)

Okay, through here.

(feet clopping)

- So this is Arnold's little love nest.

- Vacation cabin for his family.

Actually, we're the first to use it.

Construction only finished a couple of months ago.

- Weren't you gonna make some calls?

- Oh, okay.

Signal's better outside.

(person sighing)

(dramatic music)

(wood creaking)

(feet clopping)

- Listen, as much as I hate to say this,

try to give your dad a chance this weekend.

Spending Thanksgiving with his family

always really meant a lot to him.

- If family meant so much then why did he leave?

- Come on Andi, you know it's not that simple.

Adults have different needs.

- I'm almost 20 mom.

I'm not six, I am an adult.

- Well then perhaps you could try acting like one.

- Hey, cool it mom.

- You're right, Andi, I'm sorry.

Today is just turning out to be a really bad day.

(upbeat music)

- How about later this afternoon, this evening?

I know it's Thanksgiving, but this is an emergency.

All right, all right, thanks anyway.

- In answer to your question,

your father and I are breaking up

because the relationship has run its course.

That's all. You can understand.

You broke up with Fisher.

- I went on like three dates with Fisher.

I wouldn't call that breaking up.

You and dad have been together forever.

- And we raised a beautiful family

that we are very proud of.

Yes, even you, Noah.

But now you kids are grown,

maybe it's time to make some changes.

I know this is a different situation

to what we've all been used to,

something we all have to deal with in our own way.

But I think that if you give it a chance.

- [SARA] Oh, I didn't realize there was anyone here.

- So I can see.

(gentle music)

- Hey everyone, this is my,

this is Sara.

- Don't get up, I just popped in to find my phone.

I think I left it on the couch.

- Noah, why don't you move aside so Sara can.

- [SARA] Don't worry, found it.

- Your accent's cool, are you British?

- That's right.

- Sara and I met when I was in London,

on a layover at the airport.

- A layover, how appropriate.

Tom was kind enough to help me with my bags.

- Sara, this is Andi and Noah.

- Pleased to meet you both.

- So how's it going with getting the car towed?

- I called up the six closest places, five didn't pick up.

And the one that did is busy all day.

- Well, it's Thanksgiving, what did you expect, Tom?

- Okay, I'll think of something.

- I don't think we've been introduced.

- Right, this is Sara, Sara, this is Cyndy, my.

- His wife.

- Separated of course.

- Still on good terms, I hope,

for the sake of your lovely children.

- I think it's time I showed you two to your rooms,

Andi, Noah, you wanna come with me?

(upbeat music)

(tense music)

Through here.

(birds chirping)

What do you think?

- Oh.

(upbeat music)

- Look Noah,

I know we haven't had much of a chance to talk

since your mom and I decided to go our separate ways.

You don't exactly make it easy

listening to that noise all the time.

Well look, that's why I wanted

to get us all together for the holidays.

Spend a little quality time with you and your sister.

- Family time, right?

- Yeah, that's it.

- Without mom.

- Okay, it's more of a chance for you to get to know Sara.

So how's the band come along?

- The band?

- Yeah.

You, Mikey and that skinny kid, what's his name?

- The band broke up.

- Oh, that's a pity.

- In July, it was six months ago dad,

the skinny kid's name is Denver

and his dad actually gave a shit,

so he used to come and see us play.

- Hey, there's no need for that kinda language.

You know I have to travel a lot for work, it's my job.

I'm here now, son, so why don't we try

and have a nice old fashioned Thanksgiving

like we used to do when you and Andi were kids.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(feet clopping)

- [SARA] Car trouble?

- Don't worry, I'm not planning on staying.

- Oh, it's all right with me, the more the merrier.

I'm told it's a beautiful area, the forest around here.

- Didn't you see it when you arrived?

- It was dark when we got here.

Tom and I haven't really stepped outside since.

- I'll bet.

- I'm more of a city girl.

Not really one for hiking in the forest.

- No, I imagine walking the streets is more your thing.

- I'm sorry?

- I mean, you're not exactly dressed for it, are you?

Although I can't imagine anything you are dressed for.

- [SARA] Oh, I see.

Perhaps I ought to go and get changed.

(feet clopping)

- He doesn't have any money, you know.

(gentle music)

(hand knocking)

- So how's the room?

- Very pink.

- Yeah, it's my buddy Arnold's cabin.

His daughter's a little younger than you are.

So any more thoughts about what you wanna do

after graduation?

- I don't know, maybe study some more.

There's a couple grad schemes that look interesting.

- So another few years of reading books

before you get an actual job.

- What do you care?

- Well, your mother and I

can't support you forever, Andi.

- Oh, so you just want me out of your hair?

- It's not what I meant.

- You left, dad, you moved out.

You don't even have to see me and Noah anymore.

- Of course I wanna see you.

That's the whole point of this weekend.

It's not about not wanting to see you,

it's just that things may get

a little difficult financially

now that your mother and I are no longer together.

You know, that means two houses,

two sets of cars, two sets of everything.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(door whirring)

(feet clopping)

(gentle music)

- Not interrupting anything am I?

Only, I think your father wanted us all

to get to know one another a little better.

And there's no time like the present is there?

It's a lovely place this cabin of your father's,

there's even a steam room.

Meant to be very good for your skin.

I thought I might try it out before I get dressed.

Just need to grab myself a towel.

Maybe I'll see you there? Five minutes.

- Kids all settled in?

- Yeah.

- So I'll just be going then, shall I?

- I don't really know what to say.

It doesn't look like we'll be able to get the car towed

until after the holiday.

- So what are you suggesting?

- Well, it is Thanksgiving, why don't you stay for dinner?

(person laughing)

- You have to be kidding, are you serious?

- Well, there are plenty of rooms

and I think the kids would enjoy it

having the whole family around.

- And exactly what kind of family is this Tom?

Mom, dad, and dad's a new piece of ass.

- Shh, come on, don't raise your voice.

- I will raise more than my God damn voice Tom.

I mean, how could you do this to me, humiliate me like that?

Or was that your plan all along?

- No, it wasn't my plan.

I just thought you were gonna come here,

drop off the kids and go back into town.

I didn't think you and Sara would see each other.

- I bet you didn't.

You know the two of you seem pretty cozy

for someone you only met just a couple of weeks ago.

- What do you mean?

- I mean, her being here for Thanksgiving to meet your kids

just seems like you're moving pretty fast.

Unless of course.

- Unless what?

- Unless you've been seeing her for a whole hell

of a lot longer than that.

Like maybe while you and I were still together.

- No, of course not.

- 'Cause if I find out that you have,

well that puts an entirely different spin

on the divorce proceedings now, doesn't it? Infidelity.

- Cyndy, there's no need

to get into all of this.

Come on, why don't you just stay for dinner.

I'll make sure Sara stays out of your hair until then.

And oh shit, I gotta go get the turkey into the oven.

(door whirring)

(gentle music)

- Happy Thanksgiving.

(upbeat music)

(steam whirring)

- There you are, you're early.

I'm a great admirer of punctuality.

Wait a minute, what are you wearing?

- I didn't bring any swimwear.

- Swimwear, who needs swimwear?

If we were back home in Europe,

we'd both be completely naked.

- What?

- That's right, not a stitch on.

You just strip it all off and nobody bats an eyelid.

- Sounds cool.

- Have you ever been to Europe yourself?

- No, my dad travels a lot

that he ever takes us with him.

- Poor you, it seems so unfair

that your father gets to enjoy

so many things that you don't.

You know, I think it's about time

things got a little more steamy in here, don't you?

- Huh?

(dial whirring)

(person coughing)

Are you okay?

- I think I'd better get back to my room

in case my dad comes looking for me.

- Suit yourself.

(tense music)

- [REVEREND FULLER] God said to Adam, the flesh

that is torn from a living beast,

thou shall not eat.

Those that disobey this command

shall never enter the kingdom of heaven

Or find their rest in the earth.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(floor creaking)

(tense music)

(door whirring)

- Noah, Andi, come on you two, it's family time.

(door creaking)

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

Come on.

Am I the only one who's gonna make an effort here?

This is not what the founding fathers

would've wanted during Thanksgiving.

Staring at screens and books.

Anyway, kids, the good news

is that your mother might be staying for dinner.

- What?

- Awkward.

- It will not be awkward.

We're all sensible adults

and there's plenty of food to go around.

- Is your girlfriend cooking?

- No, Sara doesn't cook, I'll be taking care of everything.

- That'll be interesting.

- Where is Sara anyway?

- She's spending some alone time in the steam room.

So if anyone has anything they wanna say

to clear the air, now's the time.

Good, right, I'll take that as a no.

So here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna put these all away.

And yours Cyndy, come on.

- You're taking my phone, you're not serious.

- We have to set an example for the kids.

I'm gonna put mine away as well.

- What if there's an emergency?

- The cabin has a regular telephone right there.

There's a safe in the master bedroom.

I'm gonna lock these away for the rest of the afternoon.

(people groaning)

You'll get them back right after dinner, okay?

Until then, I want us all to actually be together.

You know, this may be the last time

we actually get to do this.

- And whose fault is that, Tom?

- I'll be back in a second.

(feet clopping)

(tense music)

(person growling)

(object whirring)

(machine beeping)

- Well, this sucks.

- Why are you going along with this mom?

- I guess I don't really feel like I have much choice.

We're stuck here with no car.

And for all his faults,

I think your dad feels guilty

that he hasn't been spending much time with you.

Maybe if you give him a chance.

- To do what?

Parade his stupid girlfriend around

while we pretend that this is normal.

- What's the point of Thanksgiving anyway,

giving thanks for what?

I'll be back in my room.

(door banging)

- What's going on?

- We all agree this sucks, I'll be in my room too.

(gentle music)

- Not you as well.

- I need some air.

(door banging)

(upbeat music)

(door creaking)

(steam whirring)

(upbeat music)

(steam whirring)

(person coughing)

(birds chirping)

(gentle music)

- Peaceful here, isn't it?

- Not the word I'd use.

- I meant out here, the forest.

- It's beautiful.

I'm surprised Arnold got a permit to build out here.

- Well, you know, Arnie, the smart guy, found a way.

- I used to think you were a smart guy.

Now I'm not so sure.

- This isn't just some stupid midlife crisis happening.

- Isn't it?

- It's been a long time coming, you know that.

- All I know is that I'm at home hauling laundry

for the fourth time in a week

when suddenly I'm hearing on a phone call

that you don't live there anymore,

on a phone call Tom.

- Thought it would be better that way.

- Better? Better for who?

I mean, I guess if you mean better in the sense

that you avoided having your head put through the drywall,

well then yes, it was better.

- See, this is it, this is why I had to leave.

- Wasn't serious about the drywall.

- Yeah but you always just keep blaming me for everything.

- Who else can I blame Tom?

- There are two people in this marriage Cyndy.

Neither of us are perfect,

but at least I don't pretend to be.

- I don't pretend to be perfect.

- Did you ever ask yourself why a man

might want to give up everything?

Leave his two kids, his home of 20 years.

- I don't know maybe 'cause he's selfish?

- Because you drove me away.

(tense music)

(wood creaking)

See, this is it, the famous silent treatment.

It's a form of abuse you know, I looked it up.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- I am not trying to be hurtful Tom,

it's just that sometimes I can't understand

what the hell is wrong with you.

You were always in a bad mood, always snapping at the kids.

- Do you ask yourself why?

Maybe it was because you were always

snapping at me, criticizing me.

I never expected to win man of the year.

But don't I get any credit for being just a decent,

regular guy who works hard at his job,

and does his best at home.

I know I'm away a lot,

but I meant what I said on Thursday.

- So did I Tom.

You have no idea the damage you've done.

(object clinking)

- [NOAH] Down here.

- Are you spying on me?

You little prick, your own sister.

- [NOAH] No, I was just exploring.

There's all these tunnels down here,

like a crawl space into the cabin.

Can you open the vent?

(vent whirring)

- What is this?

- I don't know.

But you like old books, right?

Thought you could check it out.

- Thanks, I will, it might get me through this weekend.

It's really fucked up, right?

What's it like down there?

- Weird, I mean, it's not what you'd expect.

Everything looks really old.

- You better not be down there too long.

You know dad's gonna want us all upstairs

for the big Thanksgiving dinner.

- Yeah, I know, I'm just gonna go see

if I can find any more cool old stuff.

Catch you later.

(vent creaking)

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- I am not going to stop being mad about how you did this

and I really can't say how the kids

are going to respond to this weekend.

- Same way they respond to everything.

Noah will hide under his headphones,

Andi will bury herself in a book. Anyway,

they're not kids anymore, Andi's at college.

Noah can take care of himself.

- They're still kids to me, Tom and you've hurt them.

They might not show it, but they are hurt.

- This is why I wanted to do this.

You know how important Thanksgiving is to me,

getting the family together, the big dinner.

- Speaking of which, don't you have food to prepare?

- Oh yeah.

Yeah you're right, so much to do.

Hey, can you help me out?

- Help you out?

Making dinner while your girlfriend relaxes in the sauna?

Go fuck yourself, Tom.

(gentle music)

(wood creaking)

(tense music)

(leaves crunching)

(dramatic music)

(person growling)

- [REVEREND FULLER] For what I'm about to receive,

may the Lord make me truly thankful.

(person grunting)

- Noah.

(tense music)

Listen, I know things haven't exactly worked out

as I planned this weekend.

Well, this whole year, actually.

(flesh whirring)

Can you please at least do me the courtesy of showing up?

(person growling)

30 minutes okay?

(gentle music)

(hand knocking)

- Come in.

- So,

how you doing kiddo?

I guess I haven't been much

of a dad these past few weeks.

I figured you guys just didn't need me around anymore.

- Maybe you figured right.

- But if that were true, there'd be no reason

for you to be upset would there?

- I'm not upset, I just wish I knew

what was going on with you guys, you and mom.

- It's kind of complicated.

- Complicated, that's what people say

when they don't wanna talk about something.

- Okay, so what exactly do you want to know?

- Is it me or Noah?

- What do you mean?

- Did we make you wanna leave?

- Honey, I'm not leaving you and Noah.

This is just about your mother and I.

Come on, you're not a kid anymore.

You've had boyfriends at college, right?

You know how relationships are.

At first it's kind of fun,

but later it gets, you know,

it gets complicated.

I just needed some time

to uncomplicate my life a little.

So look, I'm gonna go start prepping dinner.

You wanna come and gimme a hand?

- Actually, I'd rather have some more alone time.

- Okay, that's fine too.

- Just one more question.

- What is it?

- How old is this cabin?

- It's brand new, my buddy Arnold

had it constructed over the summer.

We're the first to use it.

- Yeah, that's what I thought you said.

- Why do you ask?

- I was just wondering if

maybe a part of it could be older or something.

- Oh, you mean the foundations?

- The what?

- Foundations under the building.

Apparently there was already a cabin

built here hundreds of years ago.

It was more of a ruin really.

But because it was already here, my buddy Arnold

was able to get a permit

to build on top of the existing structure.

All he had to do was make sure that what was left

of the existing foundations

were incorporated into the new building.

Pretty smart, huh?

Anyway, I'll see you at dinner.

(gentle music)

- Oh, there you are, what do you think?

This one or this one?

- Maybe something a little more conservative.

- I don't do conservative Tom.

You know that.

- Maybe, maybe everything's gonna be okay.

- And why wouldn't it be?

- Well, you've seen my kids.

It's not gonna be so easy to win them over.

- Well, I don't know,

I'm sure I've got your boy suitably intrigued.

- Andi's not gonna be so easy.

- We've only just met Tom.

Can take time to get close to someone.

- I've been her father for almost 20 years.

I'm not even sure how close I am to her.

- Relax, Tom.

I can get anyone wrapped around my little finger.

- How?

- I have my ways.

Do we have time for a demonstration?

- Well, the kids are in their rooms

and Cyndy's outside. Can we make it fast?

- We can make it anything you want.

We've barely scratched the surface, you and I.

You wouldn't believe how far I'll go.

(gentle music)

Wait a minute, where's my phone?

- Relax, I put it in the safe

with all the other cell phones.

- In the safe?

Are you expecting a robbery?

- No, it's just, I don't want there

to be any other distractions during dinner.

You know how kids are with their cell phones these days.

- I'm not one of your kids Tom.

Can't I just check my messages?

- Okay.

(machine whirring)

- Just gimme a hand here, this dinner's important to me.

I want it to be special.

- Fine. If it's so special,

you've probably got more important things

to do than fooling around in here.

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

- Oh, and when you get a chance

before this weekend's over, we ought to talk finances.

- What?

- Oh, you know, only for the basics.

- Okay, no problem. I'd go for the second dress.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(thunder crashing)

- [REVEREND FULLER] Journal of Reverend Edmond Fuller

month of November in the year of our Lord, 1621.

It seems like a lifetime ago that Abigail

and I first arrived in the New World,

stumbling off the boat alongside 100 other souls

with little more than the clothes on our backs

and our hopes for the future.

That was in the spring, many a month ago.

Now here we are in winter.

Holed up in a tiny cabin with no water

and not a thing to eat.

This will be the final entry in this journal.

I, Reverend Edmund Fuller hereby confess

to having committed a most terrible sin.

(person screaming)

The sentence for such a crime is execution.

May the Lord forgive me for what I have done.

(thunder crashing)

(gentle music)

(rain pouring)

- Weather sounds ominous.

- Then it's a good thing we're all safe

and warm in the cabin.

Nothing's gonna spoil this dinner Cyndy.

- Good evening, Cyndy.

Looking forward to Tom's dinner?

- I'm sure it'll be an experience.

Tom's never cooked for me before.

- Well, that's something we have in common.

- I'm perfectly capable of making dinner.

- Are you okay honey?

- What Is it, something wrong?

- No, I guess it's the weather, it freaks me out.

- You know she's sensitive Tom.

- Maybe you should take a break

from all those horror stories.

- Come sit by me honey.

- I was just about to go bring the sides.

Hold tight everyone.

(liquid pouring)

- Anyone?

- I think I need something stronger.

- How about you Andi?

- No, thank you, she's too young.

- She's a grown woman.

- She is under 21,

which is legal drinking age in this country.

- You're joking, 21?

- Can someone fetch Noah?

I don't want everything

to get cold while we're waiting.

- I'll go knock on his door.

- Here, get this down you

while your mother's out of the room.

(gentle music)

- I've been at college for like a year.

It's not exactly my first time drinking.

- I'm sure. Another?

- I know what you're trying to do Sara,

and it won't work with me.

- What exactly is it that I'm trying to do?

- Get me on your side

so you can worm your way into my family.

- Worm my way in?

- You might be able to charm my dad, my stupid brother.

I mean, we all know a man can't think further

than the end of his dick,

but I can think of a million ways

to fuck up your little weekend.

- Perhaps you'd be kind enough

to keep your thoughts to yourself.

(thunder crashing)

- Here we are mashed potato, pear salad.

Is Noah coming?

- Knocked on his door but he didn't answer.

I don't know what to do with that boy.

- I know where he is.

I'll go get him.

(tense music)

(door creaking)

Noah?

- This all looks marvelous Tom, well done.

- Looks like it was mostly bought from the store.

- Thank you Sara.

And the turkey will go right there in the center.

(knife whirring)

- So turkey, family.

It's basically just Christmas without the gifts, right?

- What do you mean?

- Well, Thanksgiving, I mean we don't have it in England,

so I basically have no idea what you're all doing.

(tense music)

- Noah, where are you you little asshole?

Dad's gonna go insane if you miss dinner.

- It all started when the first pilgrims came to America

and they gave thanks for a safe crossing from Europe.

- No, that's the Mayflower.

- Yeah, I know that was the name of the ship.

- Yeah, but that's not what Thanksgiving is.

Thanksgiving started when the first pilgrims

were freezing through the winter and then they gave thanks

when the spring came.

- Yeah, that sounds right.

Warm weather brought a big harvest.

It saved everybody and they gave thanks for that.

- So then why is Thanksgiving in November?

(tense music)

- Noah?

(leaves whirring)

- It doesn't matter how it all started.

Point of Thanksgiving is that all the families

get together and then.

- Give thanks.

- Right.

- But why?

- Good question.

- I think it's time I got the turkey out of the oven.

- This I have to see.

(dramatic music)

- Ew gross,

Noah, I swear to God when I find you.

(tense music)

- Can anyone suggest why turkey might take longer

than the suggested cooking time?

- Well, how's it looking?

- Pretty raw.

- Raw, you've had it in there for hours.

Did you switch the oven on?

- Of course I did, not an idiot, Cyndy.

The outside looks fine, it's just the inside.

- Well, how long have you had it defrosting?

- What?

(wood creaking)

- Noah?

- I think we may have a problem.

- You didn't put a frozen turkey straight into the oven?

- Christ Tom, even I know you can't cook a frozen turkey.

- Noah?

(dramatic music)

(person screaming)

(person breathing)

(flesh whirring)

- [REVEREND FULLER] For what I'm about to receive,

may the Lord make me truly thankful.

(person breathing)

(person screaming)

- What the hell happened?

(person breathing)

(tense music)

(rain pouring)

- Oh my god, honey, what happened?

- There's something down there.

- Down where?

- Under the cabin.

- There's some kind of hatch in the floor in Noah's room.

- Noah was fooling around down there.

So I went to get him.

- What's wrong with her leg?

- Oh my God, Tom.

- There's the first aid kit in the kitchen. Sara.

- Right.

- Honey, what happened?

- I told you, there's something down there.

It tried to grab me.

- What kind of thing?

- It was probably just an animal.

- An animal did that to her leg?

- No, no, I got it stuck on a nail

and it wasn't an animal.

- Give me that.

We need to call 911.

- Wait a second, why don't we all just calm down

and think about what happened here?

Andi went crawling under the building,

got spooked out by an animal.

- It wasn't an animal.

- Well maybe it was just Noah trying to freak you out.

In a panic to get out of there

you scratch your leg on a nail, that's it.

- It wasn't Noah.

- Honey, it might have been.

You said yourself he went down there.

- Let's not all get crazy,

call the cops and get your little brother into trouble.

Why don't I just go down there and take a look around?

- It is not safe down there.

That's the old part of the building dad.

- The old part?

- What's she talking about Tom?

- It's the foundations.

There was an old cabin built here before, an old ruin.

They kept part of the old foundations

and put it into the new building, that's it.

It was the only way Arnie could get a permit

to build out here.

- Who's Arnie?

- Tom's work buddy, the guy who owns this cabin.

- I thought you said this was your cabin?

- I said it was mine to use whenever I needed to.

I practically own it, it's the same thing.

- No it isn't.

- I told you he doesn't have any money.

- Can we talk about this later Sara?

Lemme just deal with this first, okay?

There's a flashlight in the bedroom.

I'm gonna take it down into the foundations.

Just stay here and wait for me, okay?

- But Dad, what if you don't come back?

- If I don't come back, then you can call the cops.

There's a telephone right here.

(gentle music)

- What's got you so freaked out?

- There's this journal I was reading. Noah,

he found it down in the foundations, it's really old.

Like hundreds of years old.

- Honey, are you sure?

- Of course, it's right here.

- Noah?

- I swear I had it in my hand mom.

- Is that it?

- Noah, are you down here?

- I read the whole thing this afternoon.

It was a journal of a Reverend Fuller.

He was the guy that built the original cabin,

the one dad was talking about.

(wood creaking)

- Noah, listen, your sister's been hurt.

We're all getting a little tired of you fooling around.

If you come out right now,

maybe we can all enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner.

What do you say?

- This Reverend,

I think he was one of the original pilgrims.

He and his wife got kicked out of their settlement

and he built a cabin here in the woods.

(tense music)

- [CYNDY] What's in this journal that's so disturbing.

- Here, the last part.

- Honey, I can't read that, I need my glasses.

- It was winter, they were starving.

Him and his wife.

- And then what happened?

(person screaming)

(flesh whirring)

(dramatic music)

- He ate her.

He killed her and he ate her.

It's all here in his own handwriting.

- [TOM] Hey, down here.

- Tom.

- [TOM] There are tunnels down here

that go all the way around the cabin.

- Have you found Noah?

- [TOM] No.

- I don't like this, Tom.

Something must have happened to him, let me call 911.

- [TOM] Wait, I'm just gonna work my way

around the rest of the foundations

just to be sure he isn't hiding somewhere.

- Fine, don't take all night.

(rain pouring)

(wood creaking)

- So what became of this reverend?

- He killed himself here in the cabin,

but he knew that his soul would never rest in peace.

- What are you saying, honey?

- I saw him down there.

- You saw him, you mean you saw his remains?

(wood creaking)

(person growling)

- Noah.

(person shouting)

- That's it, I'm calling the cops.

- For what I'm about to receive,

may the Lord make me truly thankful.

(person shouting)

(person growling)

(object whirring)

- Shit, of all the stupid, fucking ridiculous.

Why do I ever even listen to you Tom?

Oh God, what am I even doing here?

- I think dad's dead mom

and Noah too.

(tense music)

- This never should have happened.

Oh God, we shouldn't even be here.

Oh God, it's all my fault.

- How can it be your fault, mom?

We're only here because dad moved out.

- He wanted to come back.

We talked about it on the phone Thursday.

He said he wanted to give it all up and come back.

- He said what?

- Thanksgiving always just meant so much to him.

But I told him I was just so mad with him.

I told him he'd made his bed,

but he was just so excited to see you kids.

Now here we are.

- Look, it's simple.

If we're going to call for help, we need to open the safe

and all we need in order to do that is the combination.

Tom had it in his pocket.

- Are you suggesting someone goes down there?

- Well, how hard can it be?

It's only a few meters between here and the bedroom.

- How big is a meter?

- It's about, look, it doesn't matter.

The point is, the combination

could be right here in front of us

if we could just find Tom.

- Find Tom's body you mean.

- If that's the case well, yes.

- Go ahead then.

- Me?

- Why not, I don't see you doing anything else useful.

- Have you seen what I'm wearing?

I can't go crawling around in tunnels.

- You could change your clothes.

- Cyndy, all of my clothes look like this.

- I'll do it.

- No, don't be stupid.

If anyone is going to do this, it's going to be me.

- Mom, no, no, no, no, no.

- It'll be okay.

Like Sara said, I just have to go in far enough

to get the combination.

- But that man, that thing is down there.

- And your father wasn't ready for it.

But I will be.

If that thing comes near me,

I'm going to carve myself a turkey.

(thunder crashing)

(wood creaking)

Come on you bastard, just try me.

If you're real.

If you've killed my son.

(liquid pouring)

- What are you doing?

My mom is risking her life down there.

- What do you want me to do?

Shout encouragement through the floorboards?

(tense music)

(wood creaking)

(dramatic music)

Hurts does it?

Still, no more than you deserve.

Seems you found a way to fuck up my weekend after all.

- What?

I didn't want any of this.

- Oh Christ, is there no more booze in this place?

(door banging)

- [CYNDY] Andi.

- Mom.

- Can you get over to the vent?

- [CYNDY] Here, take this.

- Got it.

- Can you give that to Sara so she can open the safe?

- I don't think I should do that mom.

- Do what? What's that?

(tense music)

The combination to the safe.

Wonderful, well done.

- Can you get our cell phones and call 911?

We need an ambulance for Andi

and the fire department to dig me out of this maze

as fast as possible.

What are you doing?

- You can rot down there for all I care.

And as for you.

(person screaming)

(flesh whirring)

- Leave her alone, you bitch.

- I'll leave her alone all right,

just as soon as I call myself a cab.

(rain pouring)

(tense music)

(machine beeping)

- What are we gonna do?

- Find my own way out of here.

(door whirring)

(person grunting)

(person grunting)

I will be with you soon honey.

It's just a couple of meters, right?

- Right.

- Is he down there, that thing?

- Don't worry about it.

(tense music)

(wood creaking)

(person growling)

Go away.

- Mom.

- [REVEREND FULLER] For what I'm about to receive.

- I said go away.

- [REVEREND FULLER] May the Lord make me truly thankful.

- Go away you rotting sack of shit.

- Mom.

(object whirring)

Mom, mom!

- Did I miss something?

- Mom.

- Oh dear.

(person crying)

I'm sorry this weekend's been a bit shit for you darling,

but looking on the bright side,

I think I've dodged a bullet, don't you?

(thunder crashing)

(door whirring)

(person screaming)

(person shouting)

(object whirring)

- Mom.

(gentle music)

Mom, the cell phone.

(phone beeping)

- [Announcer] 911, what's your emergency?

- It's complicated.

- [Announcer] Ma'am, ma'am, are you still there?
