Fucking fuck you.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, honey. How are you?

I'm... I'm... I'm okay.

Good. Good. Are you at work?

Uh, yeah. It's, uh, kind of a busy day.

Oh, I wanted to tell you,

7th Heaven
is playing on TCM tonight.

Mom...

I don't have cable.

Oh, shoot. That's too bad.

It's a great
Janet Gaynor movie from 1927.

She's your...
One of your favorites, right?

Janet Gaynor? Yes.

Since I was a little girl,
I've always admired her.

So talented and beautiful...

Yeah. Well,
I gotta get back to work.

Okay. I'm giving you
a big hug over the phone.

Okay. Love you.

- I love you. Have a good week.
- Bye.

- Bye.

So, weirdly, I had an audition
around the corner,

and I thought you might
want to have lunch together.

- Oh.
- You like sushi, right?

Yeah. Wow. Thanks.

Thanks.

What's that smell?

Um, well...

There are a lot of skunks
around here.

- Oh.
- In the woods

by the golf course,
so, always spraying.

- Can't do anything about it.
- Ugh.

- I love your poster.
- Oh, thanks.

I actually saw him in concert,
believe it or not.

Wow. Is that signed?

Yeah. Recently, actually.

I know a girl who knows
his daughter, so, um,

it's her signature.

That's really cool.

outside the Hollywood estate

Jefferson Sevence.

Sevence has
apparently gone missing

after a late-night
fishing trip

off the coast
of Catalina Island.

- Witnesses claim to have seen him...
- I can't believe it.

...returning to the mainland,
and his car, a 1935 Duesenberg,

has yet to be located.

Jeff, I love you.

Your family loves you.

We love you, Dad.

Aww.

I know we're
gonna see you again soon.

I know you're alive.
I can feel it.

We're offering
a $2 million reward

for any information that
helps us find my husband.

I beg you for your help.

Please bring Daddy home.

Wait. What is that?

It's the neighbor's parrot.

Oh. What's it saying?

I'm not sure.

"Not a friend"?

Maybe.

- Hard to say.
- Mmm.

My favorite issue.

Why this one?

Oh...

I found it in my, uh...

In my dad's tool drawer
in our garage

- when I was really young.
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Did you steal it?

Mmm-hmm.

I, uh...
The girl on the cover

is the first thing
I ever masturbated to.

Hmm. She's pretty.

I know.

First thing I ever
masturbated to...

was probably a rerun
of Charles in Charge.

Oh, my God. That's awesome.

Yep, I'm pretty cool.

- What are these?
- Hey, no, don't! Don't!

Oh! Don't.

Don't. Don't.
Don't look at that.

Okay...

Sorry. I, uh...

Sure. I see him.

- I don't know.
- Come on.

I like his work
and would like to meet him.

It's... You're just
passing on a number.

It's not...

Okay, sure.

But I don't need your $5.

Oh, look at that, Coca-Cola.

Yep, dependable

Is that a Coke slogan?

Yeah, an old one, I think.

My great-grandma
used to say it.

She was a pretty smart lady.

Oh, um...

Oh. I'm so sorry.

- Were you masturbating?
- No.

No.

Well, it's not that strange.
I masturbate.

Me, too, but...

Well... I was just looking.

Okay. I believe you.

- Yeah.

Just one drink. I mean,
I don't want to go home right now.

Um, not tonight,

but come over tomorrow
afternoon. We can hang out.

It's cute, huh?
Isn't that cute?

Oh, man.

Oh, my gosh.

All right, come on.
Let's go.

Ahh! What... Shit!

What the hell, man?

Everyone
in Los Angeles is wondering,

"Where is Jefferson Sevence?"

This man has literally been

the face of the city
for decades,

through his charity work,

his death-defying
daredevil antics,

his Hollywood
production company,

the New Year's Eve telecast,

his public appearances
at award shows,

the Rose Parade,

and the list
just goes on and on.

"Silver Lake and the east side
of Los Angeles

"were originally built around
the silent film studios.

"Back then, the area
was known as Edendale.

"In 1978,

"a Silver Lake resident

"discovered a can of film
in his basement.

"In the movie, a young man holds
a note in front of the camera.

"It reads, 'No one
will ever be happy here

"'until all the dogs are dead.'

"He then shoots himself
in the head with a pistol.

"The man was an aspiring actor

"who saw himself
as the next Douglas Fairbanks.

"He was said to have been
jealous of animals,

"specifically citing
a deep contempt

"for Teddy the Wonder Dog.

"He resented the dog's success

"and blamed all dogs
for his failed life.

"This author believes

"the suicide of this obscure
and failed actor

"might be the origin
or impetus

"for the modern-day
dog killer.

"Is Edendale cursed?

"For now,
the answers remain hidden

"deep below the surface,

"under the silver lake."

Under the silver lake.

- Why don't you take it over to the dog pound?
- The dog pound?

What do they do over there?

They feed 'em and take
care of 'em till their owners arrive.

What if their owner
don't show up?

- I think they gas 'em.
- Huh?

You ain't gonna take
it to the dog pound, are you, Pa?

What the fuck.

They moved out.

How does that not make sense?

Who moves out
in the middle of the night?

They wanted to leave.

They forfeited their deposit,
paid the lease.

They moved out.
Nothing strange about it.

I don't understand
why she didn't tell me.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe she didn't like you.

Maybe she knows you're poor
and haven't paid your rent.

Maybe she doesn't want
to date a homeless man.

Speaking of rent,
this isn't personal,

but I want you to know
you'll be forcibly removed

if you can't pay
in the next four days.

Yeah, I... I couldn't...
I couldn't even find her online.

Huh.

- That's weird, man.
- I know.

- What are you gonna do?
- Not sure.

Have you heard
about these dog killers?

Um, there's more
than one?

Who knows?
It's just...

It's creepy as fuck, right?

I mean, it's bad enough
to get mugged,

but then you gotta watch
some dude stab your dog

right in front of your eyes?
I mean, it's traumatizing.

Yeah, totally. Yeah.

Ow!

Fuck.

Oh.

Fuck.

Welcome to purgatory.

Good to be here.

Needed some time
to think about things.

Use it wisely.

Piece of shit. Asshole!

We thought about naming ourselves
Jesus and the Brides of Frankenstein,

'cause there's just so much
vampirism in pop culture,

we were worried the whole Dracula
thing might be a little tiresome.

Yeah, I can see why
you'd be worried about that.

What are you doing here?

- Hi, Allen.
- Hey.

Nice to see you.

Is that a woman's blouse?

- Guess so.
- Okay.

Yeah, of course.
How 'bout you?

Yeah, working, thinking

No, but I'm looking forward
to meeting them.

Well, I'm trying to...

I'm trying to see
if I can track 'em down.

I like that dress. Hi.

Hi. Thanks, Allen.

Oh, my God. Take a look.

- Isn't that Millicent Sevence?
- I think it is.

What is she doing here?
Isn't her dad kidnapped or something?

Oh, that's not a very
classy move.

Well, it's hard to know
what a...

What a person might do
when they're in pain.

I'm doing a secret solo show
tomorrow at Hollywood Forever

- if you want to come.
- Yes, I'd love to.

This is your ticket.

Don't eat or break it.
If it's missing anything,

even a crumb,
they won't let you in.

Thank you.

I'm doing a secret solo show tomorrow...

- Oh, my God.
- What?

Looks like they found
Millicent's dad.

Hmm? Really?

His body
was burned or something.

He's dead?

Yeah.

Does she know?

Hello.

Hi.
Uh, one of the guys at the bookstore

gave me your number.
He said you wanted to talk to me.

Oh, shit. Yeah, hi. Uh...

Uh, yeah.
I... I read your zine.

I wanted to ask you
some more questions about it.

Is... Is there a good time
for us to meet?

Sure. Of course. Um,

I'm actually drawing
all day tomorrow.

I'm finishing a new issue
of Under the Silver Lake.

You're welcome
to stop by the house.

Uh, well, you want
to text me your address?

Yeah, I can do that.

Okay, great.

Great. I'll see...
I'll see you then.

- Okay, bye.
- Okay, bye.

Fuck!

Ahh!

We're looking at footage

of the crime scene
discovered earlier tonight.

The burning car,
a 1935 Duesenberg,

was spotted by a resident

who immediately
called authorities.

Now, it's hard to believe,
but the LA Police Chief

has confirmed that the remains

are those
of Jefferson Sevence.

As we reported earlier,

Sevence was found dead
in his car

with the bodies of three women
believed to be prostitutes.

In addition, some unnamed
sources have leaked

a very odd detail
about the case.

Apparently,
the remains of a dog,

a breed known a Bichon Frise,

were found in the purse
of one of the victims.

This has officially
become a very grisly

and puzzling
murder investigation.

I'm joined now by...

Fuck.

"Who is the Owl's Kiss?

"The Owl's Kiss
is a lost legend of folklore,

"just as terrifying
as the Wolfman

"or Frankenstein's Monster.

"She is a woman
who arrives in the night

"through windows
and locked doors, naked,

"except for her mask
of taxidermied owl skin.

"She seduces
men and women alike,

"killing them in their sleep.

"This beautiful specter
is responsible

"for dozens of deaths
within the Los Angeles basin,

"though she has yet to be
mentioned by mainstream media.

"Theories abound
as to her motives.

"This author believes
she may be a member

"of a long-standing
American cult,

"with origins
in trade and finance.

"It is the unlucky soul
who finds himself

"the recipient
of an owl's kiss."

What a bunch of horseshit.

Oh...

Can't believe
Jefferson Sevence is dead.

Seems like every year,
more and more celebrities

and people I grew up
with keep dying.

Dick Clark, Elizabeth Taylor,
Johnny Carson.

Everybody dies,

even those people we think
are gonna be here forever.

What were those pages
on your nightstand?

The ones
with all the scribbles?

- No, it was nothing.
- No, tell me. I want to know.

Well, have you ever heard
about, um, old record albums

having Satanic messages in 'em
if you play 'em backwards?

Sure.

Well, I was watching
Wheel of Fortune,

and I noticed that Vanna White
did this

little pattern of glances
every so often.

She would look straight ahead,

to the right, to the left,
and then back again.

I was like... I was just...
I started to wonder.

Is that random?
Is there a reason?

Like a pattern behind it?
And if there... If there is,

maybe there's something
meaningful in that pattern,

so I just started taking note
of when it happened.

Past seven months.
I got a complete record.

And just...
I've just been thinking.

Why do we just assume that
all of this infrastructure,

and entertainment,

and open information that is
beaming all over the place

all the time,
into every single home

on the planet, is exactly
what we're told it is?

Maybe there are people out there
who are more important than us,

more powerful
and wealthier than us,

that are communicating
things and seeing things

in the world that are meant
for only them and not for us.

I think it's
fucking ridiculous

to assume that media
has just one purpose, right?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

Oh, you think that's weird.

- A little.
- Okay.

You don't ever think
that maybe rich people

know something
that you and I don't?

Like... Like good
restaurants, maybe.

Eh.

Look, don't take this
the wrong way,

- but you smell so bad.
- Yeah.

And I... I think
I should get going.

Okay. Well,
thanks for the juice.

I'll be back when
the smell goes away.

Now Vanna White.

Vanna is from Atlanta,

and she is...

a professional model.

Come on in!

The water's so refreshing.

Oh!

Ugh.

It's really creepy, huh?

Yeah.

I don't
even walk my dog anymore.

We use a litter box.

Ugh. What's that smell?

Oh, I don't know.

- I smell it, too.
- Oh, God. Ugh.

Ugh.

What the... Fuck!

Hey, that's my car! Hey,
please, you can't take my car!

- You... Please.
- It's my job, man.

You can't keep it if you
can't make the payments.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Come on in.

Thanks.

- You want a beer?
- Yeah, please.

Hot day. Cold beer.

What are these masks?

They're life masks.

What's a life mask?

Um, it's a resin casting
of famous people's faces.

They're...
They're all real,

and true-to-life
representations

of these amazing people.

Oh.

Most of them are
from film productions.

Some were cast by sculptors
for statue construction,

like Lincoln's.

That's his real face?

And this is,
um, Johnny Depp,

next to...

Grace Kelly.

Mmm.

I really need to get a family,

so I have somebody
to leave these to, right?

I mean, these people, they...

They need to be remembered.

Stay quiet.

- What?
- It means, "Stay quiet."

It's a hobo code.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Hobos and rail riders
used it a lot in the 1930s.

Here. Take a look.

They used it

to let people know
who was cool, who wasn't,

what houses offer food,
if there was a doctor in town

that might be sympathetic to
travelers, that sort of thing.

Okay. So why is it
in Sarah's room?

And who were they
telling to be quiet?

I don't know. Maybe you.

There's been this rash of, uh,

lost and found signs

for dogs, humans,

musical instruments,

over the past two years.

Something really big
is going on. I know it.

And you think any of this
could be connected to Sarah?

Of course.

I mean, it could be
a lot of things.

Um, sex and drug trafficking,
the Cult of the Whale,

the Dog Killer. I don't know.

Lately, I just assume that

the Owl's Kiss has something
to do with everything.

I'm not so sure about that.

Do you have
a dollar bill on you?

- I might.
- Okay.

- Mmm.
- Yep.

Here. Take a look.

That's the sign of
the Owl's Kiss, right there,

on every dollar bill
in this country.

With every transaction,
we enter a pact to live by her law.

Any household that eats,
lives, or trades

under her eyes, is subject
to her jurisdiction.

Our world
is filled with codes,

pacts, user agreements,

subliminal messages.

They're here.

Here, here.

Words and symbols hidden
in print advertising,

sexual innuendo
connected with corporations.

Ideologies you assume
you adopted through free will,

but are actually the result
of hidden messages.

Okay, so what if
there are messages

that aren't subliminal,

but are meant
only for certain people?

Of course. That's as common
as tits and hamburgers.

What's with
all the cameras?

I'm trying
to protect myself.

You know how many people
have died from the Owl's Kiss?

No, I don't.

Well, I got the place
all wired up.

Nobody gets in here
without me knowing, right?

Oh!

Ah, here it is. Here it is.

I got it. I got it. I got it.
I got it. I got it.

I bought this from another
collector five years ago.

I'm convinced that map
is the key to everything

I've been searching for
my whole life.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Well, I think
all you had to do

was mark down where
the characters were hiding,

and then send in
this contest card right here.

Nah, it's not about
the Space Stone toys.

It's the map.
It's geographically to scale.

From Silver Lake
to the Hollywood Hills.

It is guiding me
somewhere important,

and one of these days,
I will crack it.

Hey, man.
Where's your car?

Oh, it's in the shop

getting repainted
from all the graffiti.

I told you.

That's what you get
for driving a cockmobile.

I like my car.

Yeah, well,
I like my cock,

but I don't have
to compensate for it.

Where the hell'd you
get something like that?

Where you
get everything, Amazon.

Check it out, man.

It's Silver Lake from above.

Oh, there's a good one.

I been, like,
scouting out these houses.

I swear to God
I think this chick used to be,

like, a lingerie model
or something.

It's like, insane body.

I mean, you know,
you gotta be patient.

You ever feel
like you fucked up

somewhere a long time ago,

and you're living
the wrong life,

like a bad version of the life
you were supposed to have?

Come on, man,
you're fine.

I used to think that I was
gonna be someone that, like...

Like, people cared about.

Like, maybe
do something important.

Fuck, man.

Everyone thinks that.

You know, it's narcissism
and entitlement 101.

I feel like somebody's
following me.

Yeah, probably.

Honestly, who's not
being followed these days?

I mean, I'm... I'm feeling
that a lot lately,

like even before
all this craziness.

That's the modern
persecution complex.

Who need witches
and werewolves anymore, right?

Now we have computers.

I swear to God,
at the very least,

the entire population

is suffering
from mild paranoia.

See, our little
monkey brains,

they're not comfortable
knowing that they're all

interlinked and routed
together now in some kind of

all-knowing alien mind-hive,

and that shit is a straight-up
cesspool for delusion,

for fear... Oh!

gone further, but her mom came home.

She realized that
I had a boy in the living room,

so she actually closed
the door to the den

to give us some privacy.

Then did anything happen?

I finally gave up,
and we just watched cartoons.

Can I get one?

No.

Man, bummer.

You're such a dumbass.

Okay, will you shut up?
I'm trying to watch the movie.

Yeah. I want to see

Boom, there it is. I'm impressed.

That's the biggest forehead

- Well, that's...
- ...out of the ordinary?

That's kind of

Last week, I hooked up

- Thank you.
- She was fucked up out of her mind,

That there's a message

Mmm-hmm.

So what did it say?

I have no clue, dude.

Who's the girl?

- Just one of the many.
- Right.

Crazy makes for good sex.

Could you buy me one?

Mmm-hmm.

Excuse me. Can I get

- Sure.
- Thank you.

- Thanks.
- Yeah. Um...

Hey, can I ask
you a... question?

Yes.

Uh, you ever see
her around?

Sarah.

Yeah. You know what
happened to her?

Come with me. Come on.

- Where we going?
- Basement.

Records.

♪ With love ♪

Come on.

It's old music night
at the Crypt Club.

I didn't know her very well,
but she was around.

Saw her at parties
and shows and stuff.

I don't know
what happened to her,

but I can tell you it had
nothing to do with my friends.

We're just enjoying our world,

enjoying our bodies,

enjoying our music.

I heard there's,
there's some kind of code

or, like, secret
message in their music?

I'm pretty sure
that's not true.

Jesus wouldn't hide
a message in a message.

There's nothing to solve,
you know?

It's silly wasting your energy

on something
that doesn't matter.

We have this tiny,
little window

where we can have fun,

fuck, be free.

Life is too short, right?

I want to dance to this.

- Come on.
- I don't know this song.

Come on.

We should fuck!

Yeah.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Okay.

Feel, real...
Feel really strange.

Jesus.

How much of that cookie
did you eat?

All of it.

Shit. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Fuck.

Hey...

Hey, hey, hey! Hey, wait!

Hey! Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait.

Hey!

Hi, Mom.

Hello.
I'm so glad you picked up.

I have good news.

Remember I told you about
that Janet Gaynor movie?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, I taped it for you,

and I'm gonna
send it in the mail,

but I wanted to make sure
you had a VCR.

Oh, yeah.

I got a machine.

It's just not hooked up, and...

But if you send me the tape,
I can watch it.

Oh, good.

I just thought it would be
something nice to share.

She's so lovely.

I... I feel connected to her.

Is that silly?

No, Mom, that's not silly.

Well, I won't keep you.

I know how busy you are,
but I love you.

I love you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Hey, man,

you really think
you're gonna find

- a hidden message in a pop song?
- I don't know.

I just remember being in my
room when I was, like, ten,

and coming up with
all these weird, little

codes and secret languages.

It's an entire generation of
men obsessed with video games,

- secret codes...
- Yeah.

...space aliens.

Fuck!

Used to be,
hundred years ago,

you know, any moron could
kind of wander to the woods

and look behind a rock
or some shit

and discover some
cool, new thing.

You know, not anymore.

Where's the mystery that
makes everything worthwhile?

We crave mystery
'cause there's none left.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, it's you.

Hey.

What do you do?

Nothing.

I mean for work.

Oh, God. All I'm ever hearing
is what do I do for work

or, "How's work?" "Where's...
Where do you work?"

"Work... Work good?"
"You working hard?"

- People have to work.
- What about you?

You... You're in movies.
Why are... Why are you, uh,

you know, doing this?

Yeah, I made
one little indie movie

and barely made a penny.

Do you know how expensive
it is here?

Yeah, I do.

Do you want a blow job
from the supporting actress

Academy Award nominee
from last year?

Call Shooting Star.

Wanna go down
on the girlfriend of the lead

in your favorite sitcom?

Call Shooting Star.

Wanna fuck an "It" girl?
It's not that hard.

You are a patron of the arts,

and I can pay my bills.

You gave 'em
your credit card, right?

Uh-huh.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

I was wondering,
last night at the cemetery,

who was that pirate-looking
guy in the limo?

No idea.

You don't know his name?

No. He's anonymous.

You don't know anything
about him?

Mmm-mmm.

Okay.

- Oh.
- You got any food?

I know this girl.

- Really?
- Mmm-hmm.

How do you know her?

Saw her at this party
a couple years ago.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

Did you talk to her?

No. That would have been
impossible.

Why?

Mmm. She was
in this glass cube

in the middle of
the living room.

Was, like, some bad
performance art, I guess.

Hmm.

And she was
just sitting there,

wearing a Dalmatian fur
bathing suit,

not moving, not making
any eye contact,

and all these drunk old men
were tapping on the glass,

and she wouldn't budge.

Who took you there?

Oh, some asshole producer,

you know, brought me
and some girls as his dates.

Oh. What was his name?

I don't remember.

He makes
those big action films

based on household
cleaning products.

Yeah, I know
who you're talking about.

Yeah.

So we get there,

we go through the gate,

and they check our IDs,

and...

And then we're just free

to roam around
this luxury neighborhood,

to go in any house we want,
any room we want.

There's food everywhere,

music, dancers, craziness.

Hmm.

It's this big open party,
like, right out of Gatsby.

Wow.

So whose place was it?

No one ever really said.

It was weird.

But there was this one house,

the biggest house
on the block,

this big stone mansion,

and we weren't allowed
to go near it.

It's the only place
off-limits.

Mmm.

And I heard some girls
in the bathroom

talking about how it belonged
to some songwriter.

there's a fucking code in it.

I need to know

I don't know anything
about a code.

How could you not know?

- You wrote the fucking song.
- No, I didn't.

I wrote most of them,
but not that one.

- Bullshit.
- Honestly.

The label gave me
a few songs to record.

The rest are all mine.

So, which songs
did they give you?

Turning Teeth, Wire Mountain,

and Waltz of
the Christian Shit Farmers.

That's all the hits.

There's no reason to
belittle me, man.

All right, so who wrote
the song?

They were
delivered anonymously.

I... I got a call from someone
at the label.

They said not to ask
any questions,

but if I didn't record
the songs,

- I'd lose my contract.
- You're telling me

you don't know
who wrote your own hit song?

He didn't give a name, no!

He just said it was an important
piece of music by the songwriter.

"The" songwriter?

Yeah, the songwriter.

Hey. Hey. Hi.

What is it?

Uh, you remember that party
you told me about,

a gated neighborhood

Can you...
Can you take me there?

Okay.

So how do you all know
each other?

We're roommates.

We work together.

We're all
Shooting Stars.

- You, too?
- Yeah.

Didn't know
you were an actress.

I was on a soap opera

between the ages
of five to six months.

Come inside.

You wrote the song,
Turning Teeth,

for Jesus
and the Brides of Dracula?

And the codes
in the music.

I found the tunnels
and the bomb shelter.

Okay.

So what does it all mean?

Come and sit down.

Here.

Is that...

Is that Kurt Cobain's
Fender Mustang guitar?

Oh, I don't know. Probably.
I don't remember.

I have so many things.

Can I pick it up?

Well...

I don't always worry
what the message is.

I just pass it along.

I slip it between the notes,
hide it away

for people that know
it's there.

You're saying you've done
this before, codes?

What the fuck is in there?

Hello.

Can I help you?

Yeah.

My friend Sarah was killed.

These three girls know
something about it.

Why do you assume that?

I don't assume it.

I saw her taking things
from Sarah's apartment,

and I found a... A hidden code
in their friend's music,

- and I've been in the tunnels.
- All right.

Please sit down.

Have some tea.

I found a...

I found a shelter down there.

It's some...
Some kind of bunker

in case of a nuclear war.

It's not a shelter.

So what is it?

A tomb.

Was it ours?

They're tombs
for kings, like me...

and Jefferson Sevence.

Why would Jefferson Sevence
need a tomb underneath the city?

Cemetery not...
Not good enough for him?

It's not about burial.

It's about ascension.

Not dying, being transported
to another world,

somewhere better than this.

- Are you talking about heaven?
- No.

I'm talking
about something exclusive,

and real.

Our souls are going to be
pulled from our bodies

and carried through this
unfathomable amniotic sac.

We will be beyond this universe

living together like kings
without limitation.

The pharaohs did it.

Great men throughout history
have done the same.

Are you dying?

I'm about to be sealed
in a tomb

with my beautiful brides,

and all of
my worldly possessions,

and we are going to have
delicious meals,

and wine, and television,
and sex,

enough to last six months.

- And then you die?
- No.

We wait to be ascended.

Only the richest of men

- can afford this ceremony.
- Oh. Oh.

It's expensive to build
a tunnel system

and keep it hidden.

But it costs much more
to murder people

without being harassed
about it.

Did you kill Sarah?

No one will find our
chambers for a thousand years.

Future men will understand...

we were the modern kings,

rulers without statues
or effigies.

She was here.

Oh, fuck. Is Sarah alive?

She might have ascended
already. I don't know.

She's down there
in one of those things,

one of those tombs?

With Jefferson Sevence?

Yes.

They found his body?

They found another man's
bones mixed with

most of Jefferson's teeth,

some of his skin,

and all of the organs
that he can live without.

That was such
an angry thing to do.

What are you upset about?

I just want to see Sarah.

Well...

Why don't we see if
we can get her on the phone?

They have a phone?

Incoming calls only.

We've had trouble in the past,

people getting scared,
trying to get out.

She's trapped down there?

We wouldn't want to
lose out on eternal life

just because we might have
a normal physical aversion

to being buried
underneath the earth.

We're only human.

Ah, fuck.

Hello. How are you?

Uh-huh.

Okay. Good.

Do you mind if I put you
on video phone?

A friend of yours is here,
and he wants to see you.

Great.

Hello?

Sarah, can you...
Can you hear me?

Yeah.

Uh...

Uh, I... I've been
looking for you.

Really?

You hardly know me.

Yeah, I know. Uh...

Are you annoyed at me
or angry?

Oh, do I sound angry? Oh.

Well, no. I just wanted to
know what happened to you.

Oh.

Uh, you really want to be
down there?

Yeah.

You're gonna... You're gonna
die down there. Um...

Is that what you want?

I'm gonna take this
in the other room.

Will you hang it up
when I get in there?

Sure.

Their chamber was covered
in a mountain of concrete.

It can't be opened.

There's no reason
to upset that girl.

Please be kind.

- Got it!
- Okay.

Do you think
I made a mistake,

coming down here?

May... Maybe.

Well, there's no
getting out now,

so I may as well
make the best of it.

Yeah.

Same here.

So...

How are you?

I'm not great.

Have you thought about
getting a new dog?

No.

Might be good for you.

A little unconditional love.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

Well, I better get going.

I said
I'd make dinner tonight.

I have a million things to do.

Okay.

Well, enjoy your dinner.

Take care.

Bye.

Last night,
I had a vision of us

making love beneath the earth,

and then swimming together,

naked in a dark pool.

And that's when it happens.

Our bodies dissolve into light,

and every beautiful thought we've ever had

forms around us,

and carries our souls through space,

into another world,

and we're all just laughing the whole time,

because we know that nothing
can ever be wrong again.

I wish you were coming with us.

This isn't a world that anyone
with any sense stays in

or spends much time worrying about.

You're living in a carnival,

throwing little plastic rings at oversized pop bottles,

hoping to win a prize.

What are you gonna win?

A two-week vacation?

A new car?

A little money to retire on?

It's all just a shitty, sawdust-filled rabbit.

The things you care about

are useless where we're going.

How did you know I was here?

We smelled you.

Oh.

Oh, God.

Ah, fuck.

What happened to that man and those girls?

They're waking up right now
in their ascension chamber.

So, what, now you're gonna kill me?

Do you know what you did wrong?

No.

We found these in your pocket.

Why do you have dog biscuits in your pocket?

I used to...

I used to like a girl that had a dog.

Hmm. When was that?

Like a long time ago.

Did she stop loving you?

Yeah.

Why do you have dog biscuits

in your pocket?

'Cause I was waiting for her to take me back.

I wanted to give the dog a treat and rub its ears,

just the way I used to,

and then everything would be good again.

You can go now.

Really?

Yeah.

You're not...

You're not gonna kill me?

I don't think so. We might.

I'm not sure yet.

But obviously,

don't mention any of this to anyone.

I won't.

Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Is that patchouli?

- No.
- Hmm.

Hey, what is that bird saying?

I don't know.

Honestly, I always wondered, but I have no idea.

God damn it! What... Look at this! What is that?
