[door clicks closed]

[whistling]

Huh. Wow.

Well, it's nice
to see you, too.

[giggles]

[Ray sighing]

Yeah, what do we
got here?

Well, where's Linc?

Late.

He'll be here.

[telephone ringing]

Lawyer.

[ominous instrumental playing]

[munching]

[door shuts]

[exhaling] Yeah...

In some parts
of the world, this...

this would be considered
a form of sadistic torture.

Being stuck in a room
with people you hate?

And what are you?
Hmm?

I mean, come on.

How long are we gonna do this?
Hmm?

[laughs]

[snorts with laughter]

Hey.

[Ray] Yeah. Yeah.
Don't let me stop you. Come on.

[Corey] I never do.

[sighing]

[Ellen] Ray?

What now?

It's just one night.

We can do this.

[Corey] Yeah, Ray.

Dig that hole.

Prove you're not
that kid anymore.

Core.

[Ray] Guys.

[unsettling music]

[ethereal vocalizing]

All right,
so this is Clare.

[laughter]

[Clare] Thanks for letting me
crash your party.

Uh, when Ray told me
it was your birthday,

I didn't want
to impose.

But Ray's pretty convincing.

That he is.

[suspenseful music playing]

Jeez, man, how many pills
did you feed her?

I didn't pick you
as the party type.

[glass thudding]

[footsteps departing]

[door shuts]

[clears throat]

[Ray] Inside joke.

Well...

who's hungry?

This birthday boy
is famished.

[bell ringing]

I should've
brought a gift.

Aw...

Clare Bear...

y'all are
the only gift I need.

[bell ringing]

[Ray] You know,
he's-- he's never gonna change.

Right?

I don't know
why you care so much.

I don't.

[Ray] [laughs] Yeah.

Keep telling
yourself that and...

you might
just believe it.

You should know.

[tense instrumental playing]

So, how did
y'all meet?

-[cutlery clattering]
-[Ellen clears throat]

[Ellen] We went
to school together.

-[Clare] Oh, childhood friends?
-Mm-hmm.

You have
to forgive Ellie.

She has a habit
of being too nice.

Friends
is quite the stretch.

[Ellen]
No, we were friends.

[Corey]
We were more than that.

Still are.

But let's be honest.

We were
only friends with you

because we wanted
to get with you.

And he just wanted
a ride to graduation

with little
Miss Honor Roll here.

Looks like you are the common
denominator again, Ellie Bell.

-Fuck you, Core.
-[Corey] Ah.

Spoken like
a true friend.

[Clare] You guys
do this every year. Why?

-[glass shattering]
-[bell ringing]

Now, that...

is the million-dollar
question, Clare.

You always find
the smart ones, don't you?

So...

who wants
to take this one?

Huh? Anybody?

No?

Well, then,
I guess it's over to me.

We made a pact, okay?

Can we drop it now?

Please?

♪

Are you guys
for real?

Linc said you guys
were self-absorbed, but...

this is next level.

The world's fucking ending

and all you guys
can think about is some...

bullshit high
school drama.

The world's
not ending, hon.

-Don't fucking patronize me.
-Who's patronizing?

And why are you
so sensitive?

It's not my fault
you can't tell the difference

between your life
and a fucking Halloween prom.

[Josh] Halloween prom?

Really?

We're really
gonna go there again?

They were human beings
burnt fucking alive.

[giggles]
You were not there.

How do you know?

You think those
photos are real?

There's too many
of them not to be.

[Josh] Why are you
embarrassing me?

Why did you
brought me here?

[Josh] Because you said
you wanted to...

[chattering faintly]

Mm, people do
a lot of things for clicks.

[Ellen] But those people,
ones left over,

you heard
what they saw.

[Corey]
What they think they saw.

They're merely delusions.
Those people need help.

Delusions
to the point

that families
are killing each other.

Killing their children...

so they don't have
to go through

what they think
they saw?

I don't think so.

Those families were cults.

And yes, mass suicides are
a result of shared delusions.

They weren't all cults.

[Ray] Yeah,
listen to Corey.

He knows all about
that mental health shit.

How long did you spend
at that mental institution?

-Ray?
-What?

Months, wasn't it?
[giggles]

[Corey] Ray Burn, for the last
mother effing time...

[Ray scoffs]

I took
a leave of absence

in my junior year
for medical reasons.

[Ray laughs] Whoo!

Guys,
did you hear that?

"Medical reasons."

I had a minor physical ailment.
That's it.

So, pipe down,
boy band.

I know they say
fake it 'till you make it,

but sometimes
a man's got to admit

that he just
doesn't know shit.

And he never will.

And you've got
a long way to go...

'till you're even close
to being a man, that is.

So, how soon
'til judgment day?

[Josh]
You know what? I...

I do--
[laughs]

You guys
go back to talking

about whatever it was
you were talking about.

I'm serious.

How long
do you think we have?

A week?

Two?

[Josh]
It's not judgment day.

They're calling it
"The Razing."

You're smarter
than this, Ellen.

[Ellen] Am I?

See, I thought I was,
but now I'm not so sure.

See, I don't believe in God.
Never had.

Neither do
the kids I teach.

They're just kids,
they believe in Santa,

for God's sake, which I guess
it's the same thing.

So, when one of them
writes a poem

about his dad,

that's not dad,

standing over
his roasted mom--

his mom,
who moments before was on fire

burning alive

while his father
held her...

His mother
wept as she screamed.

And-- and what?

You think he was
some sort of messiah?

He was
a wife beater.

That poem
is called Domestic Abuse.

[Ellen] Is that what
my student called it?

He called it
Backward Rainbow

because that is what this guy
looked like

after his mom died.

Just as his dad
picked him up to hug him,

just as-- the same dad
who hugged his burning mother,

the same dad whose own skin
was blemish-free.

And you saw that?

[Ellen] I saw him

and there was
not one burn on him.

I saw his son
scared to death of him

and even more scared of CPS
when they came to court.

Seriously, Ellie,
you should be up for tenure,

not deciphering the tales
of fourth graders.

Once upon a time,
there was a fucked-up kid.

The end.

Maybe.

But maybe...

just maybe...

we have to admit
that maybe we don't know shit.

Maybe we are all
just getting what we deserve.

We?

[tense instrumental
music continues]

[cutlery clattering]

It's fine.
It's fine. She's fine.

Everything's fine.

[Ray]
She doesn't look fine.

[Corey] How the fuck
would you know?

You-- you-- you--
you waltz back in here

like-- like
you're some hero,

some knight
in shining shit,

and-- and she just laps it up

like you've never
burned her before.

Like you're not gonna do
the same thing again

next week,
next month, next year.

Because she knows
that after you are gone,

I will still be here
to bandage her up,

to pick her up.

So, yeah, I think
I know when she's fine.

[cutlery clanking]

[door shuts]

And she's fine.

We are fine.

[electric buzzing]

What the fuck?

Fucking breaker.

[distorted chord playing]

[cutlery clinking]

[door creaks open]

[piano music playing]

[Clare] I just wanna
be alone, okay?

[man, distantly] Why the hell
did you do that?

[indistinct conversation]

-[Lincoln] Do you?
-[door clicks closed]

Do you really?

'Cause-- 'cause
if you don't,

this place,
and with him,

it's not
where you wanna be.

And if you
do wanna be alone,

then you better
get used to this room,

because this is as close to
them as you're ever gonna get.

Why do you bother?

Why don't you just...

[Lincoln] Leave?

-We made a pact.
-Pact.

Was it worth it?

I used
to think so.

I've never been
the sentimental type.

You know,
birthdays, holidays.

I really
could give a shit.

[sighs]

When I was a kid...

when I met them,
I was...

I was going
through a lot...

with my mom.

I ran away
a couple of times.

Anyway, it got bad.

Got to a point where I-- I
didn't even wanted to be found.

But when
that lot showed up...

I realized
you can still be alone...

even when you're not.

And to me...

at the time...

in some weird,
screwed-up way...

it felt a lot better
than being alone.

So, you stayed?

I stayed.

So, does it still...

feel better?

[Lincoln]
You tell me.

-[door creaks open]
-What happened with your ma?

[pulsing music]

[Lincoln]
So, you're coming?

I think
I'm gonna wait it out too.

[Ellen] Jeez!
What a great duo.

Order everything
extra crispy.

You and Milo
might wanna watch that.

[Lincoln] You know
that stick you and Corey share,

it's getting higher up
in your ass these days.

You might
wanna watch that.

[glass thudding]

Someone's
gotta have some fun.

This is a party.

[Ray] Hey.

Hey, how's Clare?

[Corey] El?

El?

What?

[Corey]
Come here for a sec.

One sec.

get you a gift.

True Blue and Winter Wonder.

She always picks True.

Shouldn't everyone?

[Teen Corey] Nah,

I have hope
my little Ellie

will go

What she wants
instead of what she needs.

The way he leads away

[Teen Lincoln] Hey.

Anyone wanna hear

I see red.

Courtesy of Mommy dearest.

Hey, don't knock it

Try anything. Bullshit.

Nothing

All right. Okay.

There. Done.

Surprise. Surprise.

Yeah, Ray,

-Don't mess with them.
-Come on.

Do the Blue.

You don't get it.

These new batches
are so strong.

You won't be able

-It's all the same.
-What's the point, genius?

This isn't some
fucking chem lab!

We play it safe.

[Teen Lincoln] You know the new
stuff's fine, right?

My ma tested it.

[Teen Ellen] On who?

You?

No offense, Linc,
but hasn't your mom lost it?

And I don't just mean all
credibility and credentials.

I meant
she's batshit cray.

[Teen Lincoln] It's cool.

I shouldn't
have said that.

Your mom's
always been good to us.

[Teen Lincoln] You
got it right the first time.

[laughs]

I was just shocked that you
used the word "cray."

Maybe I took
a red one by mistake.

Maybe you should.

[ominous music playing]

[Ray clears throat]

[Ray] I come in peace.

Funny.

[Ray sighs]
Nothing ever is with you.

Tell me...

did you ever have
a sense of humour or...

were you
born this way?

Tell me, do you ever take
anything seriously

or are you numb
to all emotion?

Oh, yeah.

Tell me,
do you feel anything?

-[Ray scoffs]
-Like, anything at all?

Well...

wait...

you don't think
I'm shallow, do you?

Hollow.

You are
so freaking empty.

Like
there's nobody inside.

Just some mask, shell,

a Halloween costume.

Some...

stranger inside.

Well...

You first.

Don't do what?

Where did you
get these?

I haven't seen these

You do make me happy.

I could to hide pain from you.

What?

And there it is.

That look
I never wanted.

[Ellen] Core,
why didn't you--

Why didn't I tell you?

Why would I?

Why would I wanna have you

I said sit down!
Sit your ass down!

This is my story.

My story.

One night,

one shitty fucking night,

while I was walking home
from university,

walking down this

this shitty ass street...

[laughing & coughing]

...when I heard you,

a tiny, tiny
little baby crying.

[chuckles]
No, no, wailing, wailing.

I heard you wailing
like a lamb being slaughtered.

And-- and
what did I do?

What did I do?

I asked you
a goddamn question!

What did I do?

[Lincoln] You took me in.

That's right.

I...

took you in.

Every inch of your life,

every ounce of your being

is only there
because I allowed it to be.

[pills clattering]

Don't you forget that.

I should have left you
where I fucking found you.

They don't pay me enough
for this shit.

Raised you
on my own dime.

No one helped me.

That's what you get
for trying to help somebody.

Fuck off!

Nothing.

Nada...

is what I should have
named you.

I tried to name you
after someone great.

Tried to give you
a chance, that's all.

But nada's
what you'll always be.

I can't change
your destiny.

Not yet anyway.

[refrigerator beeping]

[bottles clanking]

[plates clattering]

[beeping continues]

[bottles clanking]

-[Ma snoring]
-[bottle rattling]

[Lincoln vomiting & coughing]

[toilet flushes]

[Josh] Your mom's
out on the couch again.

She can't move
much these days.

[Josh] Circle of life, huh?
The mother becomes the baby?

-Soon, you're wiping her ass.
-I don't think so.

Tell my cousin that.

It happens to all of us.

[Lincoln] No, not me.

I-- I think
that's enough of that.

So fucking Lincoln.

Always thinks
he's above everyone else.

-No, that's not true.
-[Josh] No?

No.

I just don't want to be
like everyone else.

Oh, so you don't want
special treatment, then?

Guess you wouldn't want
these test answers

for next week's final.

Guess you wouldn't
want these.

-You know the deal.
-It's all on the table.

-It's all I have.
-It's not enough.

I can get you more

at a party tonight.

So, you're coming or what?

Hon, it wouldn't
be a party without me.

[Lincoln vomiting & coughing]

[Lincoln panting]

[toilet flushing]

[Josh] Are you okay?

You don't gotta do
a taste test.

You should not
gonna know the difference

after half a 12-pack.

But unless you wanna
prolong your pain in hers,

I would recommend doing
a different type of poison.

An entire pharmacy
at your fingertips.

Why plan a murder
when you've got a suicide note?

Apathetic.

[Josh] Go with the benzos.

They're perfect for a drunk
with a death wish.

[distorted chord plays]

[ethereal vocalizing]

[angelic music playing]

[Ellen] I missed you.

[Teen Corey] I missed you too.

It doesn't matter.

[Teen Ellen] Yes, it does.

Why won't you tell me?

There's nothing to tell.

You're sick, Corey.

Do I look sick?

[faint clattering]
Oh!

Trying to keep
all the fun to yourself.

Are you?

Two tickets...

to Wonderland, my lady.

[Josh] Whoa! Wait up.

So, where's the snow at?

You've got it.

Nah, this is that heavy shit
we did at Linc's place.

I want them
Winter Wonder Dreams, baby.

[Teen Corey] Oh, baby.

You and the clink
over there may rule your...

whatever shithole
you guys are from.

When you're in my house,

know when to shut up.

[chuckles]
This is the one?

Yeah,
and what one would that be?

[Josh] You really
don't know, do you?

You're really that cliché?

You [indistinct] daddy's boys
are all the fucking same.

Fancy and empty,
just like this sweet pad.

Isn't this supposed to be
a birthday party?

Pretty sweet birthday party.
No family, no friends.

He has friends. He has us.

[Teen Josh] Does he really?

Are you really?

So, prove it.

-A game of True Blue.
-No, I don't do that shit.

You was about to do that shit
with your missus just before.

[Teen Corey]
That was different.

Why? Because your
shithole is shinier than ours?

You think
you're better than us?

He didn't say that.

Nah, but he meant it, though.
He meant it.

There's always
exceptions to you lot.

Rules to suit you.

[Teen Corey]
And so, what if we do?

What's it to you, huh?

Do I tell you
how to live your life?

Do I get in your face
and remind you of all

the shit that you were born
with and wanna forget?

[Teen Josh]
I think I remember you

doing exactly that.

Give me the snow.

-[pills clattering]
-It's yours.

Ladies first.

One for me.

Any day?

Sorry,
I didn't see you there.

Sweet dreams.

[Clare] Shoot. Candles.

[Corey] Can't have
a birthday without a wish?

[Clare] I recommend the milk.

Takes care of the booze.

Then, no, thanks.

[mysterious piano instrumental]

I must have left one in.

[Corey] Must have.

-I'm not wearing pants?
-Oh, sorry.

This night has brought
a lot of things to light,

don't you think?

Sorry.

Um...

you-- you-- you see
things differently.

I can tell.

You see things
that others don't.

You get like that
when you grow up alone.

You have
a lot of time to watch.

[Corey] Watch what?

Others live.

Had any joy
they feel, that freedom.

That freedom
of being carefree.

I used to envy them.

I wanna be them.

Pretend to be them.

But I knew deep down
to be really like them,

that would come
with a price.

Who would have thought
you and I would be so alike?

Right?

[Corey] Clare?

is falling in love
with some trailer trash

that always
needs saving.

Don't listen to him.

All right?

Look at him, he--

-he's all fucked up.
-[laughs] Yeah.

He's right.

I am all fucked up.

But you,

are heartbroken
beyond repair.

Ellie, listen to me.

Listen.

What will you be
without your scholarships, huh?

Your academia,
what will you become?

You think about that?

You wanna give up on all that?
Risk all that?

Just leave her alone.

No, you--
you stay out of it.

Listen, Ellie,

You're unbelievable.

You wanna go there?

You wanna throw

Look in the fucking
mirror, Lincoln.

No wonder
we ended up here

hanging out
with you for so long.

We should have known you'd
bring us down to your level.

[Teen Ellen] Our level?

[Teen Corey] El?

You mean the level
without heroes for fathers

or saints for mothers?

We don't have the perfect
family with the perfect lawyer

to bail us out
whenever we fuck up!

So, please,
just give us a fucking break!

Oh, my God!

more than you have.

But seeing

I don't have
as much as you think.

But what I do have,

what I've been gifted
with on this special day...

is the realization
that the one person...

who truly knew me
and managed to see me...

really see me...

is lying face down
