[Radio Announcer] This is a notice to the community.

Due to a recent string of killings involving a suspect

known as the Moonlight Killer,

the county has enacted a strict curfew for all residents.

Effective immediately,

the curfew is in place

from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM daily until further notice.

Details of the curfew include,

no individuals are permitted

to be outside their homes during curfew hours

unless it is an emergency or essential work.

Law enforcement will be patrolling the streets

to ensure compliance.

Anyone found violating the curfew without valid reason

may be subject to fines or other legal actions.

Please, police are urging to stay indoors

and ensure your homes are securely locked.

Report any suspicious activity

to the local police department immediately

and be vigilant and take extra precautions

during nighttime hours.

Your cooperation is crucial in helping us

maintain public safety and bring the suspect to justice.

We understand that this measure may cause inconvenience,

but it is necessary for the protection of our community.

For further updates,

please stay tuned to local news channels

and the official police department's website.

Thank you for your understanding.

(suspenseful music)

[Narrator] Five bodies.

All of them found with their heads so severely disfigured,

it was hard to make out who they were

until the dental records were looked into.

Whoever was doing this

was doing it with a rage no ordinary man could possess.

They were beaten, stabbed, beaten some more,

and eventually their heads were caved in

by what police only described as a blunt force instrument.

Because of the nature of the crimes

and because there were absolutely no leads on a suspect,

the local police issued a curfew for the town's youth.

No parties past eight o'clock,

no make out sessions in a car up at Inspiration Point,

no hanging in the park when the sun went down.

(knife clanging) (blood squelching)

The killer used the cover of darkness as his main weapon.

And it only made sense

to keep things quiet under the moonlight.

(suspenseful music)

But,

kids will be kids.

(heavy rock music)

[Darlin'] Of course we weren't giving up our summer.

Summertime was the only time it felt like

we could truly unleash all of the angst and anxieties

that school and our parents put on us.

It's when we could watch the sun go down

and come back up without missing a moment

of the night in between.

It's when the boys were interchangeable.

It's when the skate parks in the neighborhood streets

and the abandoned parking lots were our church.

And summertime was our religion.

(heavy rock music)

(heavy rock music continues)

We heard countless times from our parents

and teachers and the cops,

"There's always next summer."

Oh really? What about the victims?

They certainly won't be seeing the next summer.

And we weren't about to sit

and watch this one fade away.

(heavy rock music)

(fast rock music)

Okay, so I have to tell you something.

What?

(both laughing)

What?

Um, Boy Toy hit me up.

Oh.

I know, but we hadn't talked in like four months, so.

No.

I was doing good. I was doing good.

The point is that you're not doing good now.

Well, yeah, but.

What'd he say?

I don't know.

He just wanted to go to like,

a car meet and hang out or something, but.

Did you go?

No.

[Darlin'] This is the part where Baby Girl tells me

she hooked back up with Boy Toy.

He seems to be her favorite summer fling,

but he gives me the ick.

(heavy rock music)

This was our summer and nobody was going to ruin it.

No, it was actually nice

'cause we were just like, talking and catching up, so.

That's good.

- Yeah, but you know, it's- - Well, how do you feel?

I don't know.

I feel like we have to talk more

and I'll just like see where it goes.

But just for now,

since it's summer anyways,

I'll just keep it at that.

- You know? - Yeah, I get it.

(heavy rock music)

Glad that you're feeling better.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Well.

Oh, what were you gonna say?

I was gonna say, at least I get to hang out with you.

Yeah.

(both laughing)

We should definitely keep doing this

because I'm not gonna listen to the curfew.

I know, me neither.

They're stupid.

The last victim was stabbed 27 times and found in a river,

and the cops still don't know who did it.

What are you gonna do when you get home?

I don't know. I have some pasta.

- That's good. - Yeah, so.

That sounds good.

Just gonna take a bath and watch a movie

and get ready for bed, you know?

- Sounds relaxing. - Yeah.

I like it.

This is the fifth victim our age that has been killed.

And because of that,

the police has put a curfew on the city,

and if anyone's out after the curfew,

they'll be arrested.

The sky's beautiful.

I know.

I'm surprised there's no pink or anything.

I know.

Yeah, I haven't done.

[Z] Baby Girl? Darlin'?

- Hey. - What's up?

- How long has it been? - Hey, Z.

- Awhile. - Dang.

- I know, it's been a while. - What are you doing here?

I don't know.

Just hanging out mostly.

I'm actually on my way to a party right now.

- Oh really, where? - Yeah.

Just down the road, actually.

It's one of those rich houses.

- Nice. - Yeah.

So, what's up? Where's M?

Usually she hangs around you guys.

I know, she's at home tonight

but I don't know, we don't-

Her dad won't let her out 'cause of curfew and stuff.

- Oh, again? - Yeah.

You know, I don't really believe

in this whole curfew thing.

What's it about anyway?

- Curfew? - I know.

[Darlin'] Yeah, like we gave a flying fuck about a curfew.

The more they tried to control us,

the more we pushed back.

I don't know, I just,

I don't really care about,

I don't really care about the curfew right now.

[Darlin'] We don't either, obviously 'cause here we are.

- Yeah, I forget that. - Yeah.

So I guess, you know,

if you guys see M around

or hanging around again,

could you guys,

I don't know, put in good word for me?

[Darlin'] Yeah.

- Yeah? - We'll let her know.

- Yeah. - Okay, all right.

- Well, thank you. - All right, Z.

Have fun at the party.

- Yeah, be safe. - Yeah.

You guys have a good day. (laughs)

- Okay. - Yeah.

[Both] Bye, Z.

My God, I haven't seen him in so long.

That was so weird.

And like thinks he can get at M?

- Like? (laughs) - What are we gonna tell her?

Like, bro.

She's gonna think that's hilarious.

I know. (laughs)

What's up, girls?

What's going on?

- Hi. - We're just hanging out.

Oh, were you just gonna stare at me all day

or you gonna say something?

[Darlin'] We were not staring at you.

Stare at you?

Yeah, I saw you guys checking me out this whole time.

[Darlin'] Dude, no.

Literally in your own fucking head.

Geez.

You kiss each other with that mouth or just me?

- No, thanks. - It's okay.

We're just watching the sunset.

It doesn't have to be skateboard tricks.

No, we're good. Thank you.

Have a good rest of your night.

Oh, come on. Why not?

What you guys doing?

[Baby Girl] Nothing. It's okay.

Please, we're really not interested or whatever.

Oh, well, you told me to have a good rest of my night.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Okay, like, have a good rest of your night without us.

- By yourself. - Yeah.

Oh, well, I mean, you guys could definitely come with me.

I don't see the problem.

Cool. No.

We're good, thanks.

Why the fuck not?

[Baby Girl] 'Cause we don't know you.

You're actually making me uncomfortable.

- Baby Girl, Darlin'. - You can get to know me.

I mean, come on. What the fuck?

- You all good? - No, thanks.

- All good? - Hey, Z.

What's up? Who's this?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

- He's just like- - This your friend?

These dry bitches your friend?

Fuck yeah, they're my friends.

- They don't put out for shit. - Who the hell are you?

What? You gonna stick up for them now?

No, no.

I'm not putting up with this.

Get up. I ain't dealing with you.

Get up.

Come on, dude.

Come on, let's go for a walk.

Let's go.

You guys coming or what?

- No. - No.

We're not fucking going with you.

- Can you leave us alone? - Let's go, man.

- Get the hint. - Come on.

- Bullshit, you guys. - You're bullshit.

You guys are fuckin' bitches.

Fuck that.

Oh, okay. (laughs) We're bitches.

- Are y'all good? - Yeah, thanks Z.

[Z] No problem.

Bye, guys.

- We don't even know. - What a fucking weirdo.

(ominous music)

[Radio Announcer] Good evening citizens of Rock Creek.

This is Eric Craig on WBLZ.

Bringing you an important announcement.

In response to the recent tragic killings

of young people in our community-

What do you want?

[Radio Announcer] he police have mandated a curfew

to ensure everyone's safety.

The curfew is in effect from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

What the fuck do you want?

I can hear you.

[Radio Announcer] It applies to all residents,

especially our youth.

We understand that this is a difficult-

Fucking piece of shit. Let's go.

[Radio Announcer] And scary time for everyone.

The safety of our community is the top priority.

(blood squelches)

Police Chief Robert Cardigan has assured us

that this measure is necessary to prevent further tragedies

(blood squelches)

and to allow law enforcement

to conduct their investigations more effectively.

To all the young people listening,

we urge you to abide by the curfew.

(blood squelches) (skateboard thuds)

This is not just a suggestion.

It's a mandate.

Anyone found outside-

(upbeat synth music)

(bottles clanging)

(father burps)

(father clears throat)

(father spits)

(chair clatters)

I really thought you were gonna quit this time.

Huh?

Drinking, Dad.

I thought you were gonna quit.

You were doing so well until the other night.

I did quit drinking.

Nothing's just beer.

Beer isn't drinking.

Beer's just beer.

Now whiskey, whiskey is drinking.

Ah, tequila.

That's drinking.

Whatever.

I'm not in the mood for your jokes.

Yeah.

When the fuck are you in the mood

for your old man anymore, huh?

All you do is sulk around.

Go hang out with your stupid little shit friends

leaving me here alone

having to eat dinner by myself

'cause you're off doing who the fuck knows what.

All 'cause your fucking whore mother-

- Dad. - Had to go and leave.

I'm not doing this shit with you today.

It's the same conversation every time you get drunk.

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?

You're a fucking mess.

You stink. Your clothes are dirty.

Do you know how embarrassing it is

that I have to come home and help my own father change

because he passed out on the couch and pissed himself?

Mom left because you forced her out.

[Father] You shut the fuck up!

You don't talk to me that way.

Your mother left you just as much as she left me.

What did you do to run her off, huh?

I always defended you.

I was always daddy's little girl, remember?

And she hated it.

Jesus Christ, why do we have to have the same fight?

I tell you over and over and you don't care.

You just keep crawling into the bottom of a bottle

and burying yourself.

- You know- - Ugh.

You've had just as much opportunity to leave

and go find her, but you haven't yet.

Why is that, M? Huh?

Because you're scared.

Scared your little fucking rainbows and unicorns

fantasy of what life would have been like

if she was still here won't come true.

Or is it the needles and the pills

and the constant train of men coming in and out of her life?

Maybe you're just afraid to leave

this little shit hole town.

Afraid you're gonna go and fail

and have to come crawling back home to me.

You're afraid because you're weak!

I hope you drown yourself

in as much of that shit as you can stomach.

And when you're passed out on the floor,

choking on your own vomit,

I won't be here to help.

You'll die and rot in the dirt.

But it'll be easier on me

than watching you rot in this house like you already are.

(father screams)

You ungrateful little cunt!

Should've given your mom

the goddamn coat hanger when she asked for it.

(solemn music)

Hey, can we please go do something?

(upbeat rock music)

(both speaking faintly)

Yes, I took my very first class with him.

- Really? - Yes, he was so rude to me.

He scared me so much.

Like, it was such a hard class.

[M] Really?

(heavy rock music)

♪ Yeah ♪

Okay, so you have to catch me up.

What happened with your dad?

Just my dad being my dad.

You know, I really thought things were gonna be different,

but joke's on me.

I know, but you've tried to reason with him for so long

and he's just such an alcoholic that he will not change

and you know that.

- Yeah. - So.

Yeah, he just,

I feel like he needs me to be there

and baby him every single day.

That's horrible.

He's a grown man. He's your father.

You should not have to baby him.

I know, but if I don't take care of him,

who is going to?

I'm never gonna leave.

I'm gonna be stuck here

because I have to take care of him.

Until the day that he dies,

I will be stuck in that house.

M, you know what? Fuck that.

You do not have to stay to take care of him.

You can just leave

and let him deal with his own problems.

He's never gonna change.

He's been this way your entire life.

Well, it's a bummer that Darlin's not here.

I know.

It's so sad that her mom wouldn't let her out.

Yeah, I mean, I get it with everything.

I know.

It's just 'cause the murder was at the same skate park

that we were hanging out at,

but we're just hanging out at the river.

[M] Yeah.

It's not like we're doing anything.

[M] I know.

And it's daylight.

- I know. - Literally.

[Baby Girl] Seriously.

Her mom is just overreacting.

Yeah.

[Baby Girl] I know.

(M laughs)

All I'm thinking about is like, going in the river.

Yeah.

[Baby Girl] I just wanna go in the river.

- It's so hot. - Yeah.

Because of the curfew,

a lot of our friends decided to leave town,

but our friends that decided

to stay have been having underground parties.

I haven't gone to attend one yet,

but maybe that'll happen soon.

Yeah, we should definitely get in the water.

[Baby Girl] We totally should.

That'd be fun if we went tubing.

- Oh my gosh, yeah! - Yes.

We should totally go tubing. (laughs)

(upbeat music)

(friends chattering)

- Rose, oh my gosh! - Hey.

- How are you? - It's been forever.

Oh my gosh, Rose.

Hi, it's so good to see you!

- You too. - How have you been?

It's been so long.

[Rose] Good, I was gonna say,

what have you guys been up to?

[M] Just hanging out and trying to enjoy

this summer as much as we can.

Oh my gosh, yeah.

[Baby Girl] Rosie, you got a puppy?

Oh yeah, by the way, I got a puppy.

This is Mabel.

- Oh my goodness, hi. - A little baby, hello.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - Shes just a little nervous.

Aw.

But if you guys wanna hang out with him more,

I'm having a party tonight.

- Oh, you are? - On the DL obviously.

- Yeah. - Oh my gosh, really?

Tonight, it's gonna be at my brother's house.

- Okay, should we go? - All the cute girls.

- Yes. - All the cute boys.

[Baby Girl] We're gonna have to get Darlin' to go.

[M] We'll probably have to sneak her out,

but yeah, we'll be there.

[Baby Girl] Yeah, we just have to figure out what to say.

That would be so nice though.

Oh my gosh, hell yes.

[Baby Girl] That would be so fun.

[Rose] All the boys, all the cute girls.

All the weed, all the drinks.

(both laughing)

Y'all have be there.

Okay, that sounds good.

- Alright, we'll be there. - You have to be there.

- Okay, for sure. - Sounds good.

- Hell yes. - Yeah.

[Baby Girl] Well, it was so good to see you.

- Oh my gosh, you too. - Oh wait.

Did you wanna hang out?

- Yes! - We have another chair.

[Baby Girl] Yeah, Darlin' was supposed to join us.

Yeah, I mean, people are dying,

but people die all the time.

Not that big of a deal.

I don't know, sorry. (laughs)

No, I definitely haven't heard

of any underground parties

and they're definitely not going on right now.

- Mabel, what a cute name. - I know.

Okay, so I was telling M, I was telling M,

that when Darlin' and I were hanging out

at the skate park the other day,

there was this guy that came up to us,

literally harassing us.

[Rose] What the fuck?

Making us so uncomfortable.

And he's like, "You guys were staring at me."

Like, "Are you guys gonna",

"you guys gonna come over and hang out with me or not?"

- Seriously? Seriously. - Oh shit, it's your dad.

"Oh shit," is right.

What did I tell you?

Why are you here? Why are you here?

No, you know what?

I'm like, no, no.

This is a one way conversation now,

- Dad, I just- - No, there is no, no.

You know what's going on.

You know what's going on around here.

You have your phone smashed to your face all day long.

So I know you have an idea of what's happening around here.

This is why me and your mother

are pissed off all the time.

[Baby Girl] Dad, it's not a big deal.

It's a big deal when you and your friends

are dropping like flies.

[M] We just wanted out to hang out at the river.

No, no. I don't even know who you are.

You're staying out of this conversation

and you're staying out of this conversation.

- I brought my guard dog. - It's between me and you.

We're not gonna do this again.

With all this stuff going on, you should know better.

Baby Girl, it's fine. Just go.

Alright, fine.

Okay, I'll catch you guys later.

Sorry, Rose.

[Rose] I'll see you soon, don't worry.

I know, I'll see you later.

- Definitely. - Let's go.

- Alright. - Bye, love you.

You guys go home and disappoint your parents.

I gotta take care of her.

(heavy rock music)

- Hi. - She'll steal the ice cubes.

- Aw. - From her fucking bowl

and run around and steal it and just chew on it.

- That's so- - Oh, Mabel.

(both laughing)

I think with everything being as scary as it is,

it's a great idea.

I think we need to keep the community safe.

Keep people safe.

I mean, keep families safe.

I don't know.

I think we're finally making steps in the right direction

and hopefully they find this person.

(upbeat music)

- Hey. - Hi.

So cute.

[Darlin'] I'm gonna grab my shoes just real quick.

This party's gonna be, oh.

Hi, Mom.

What are you guys doing?

[Darlin'] We're just gonna go out for a little bit.

You're going out for a little bit?

- Yeah. - No, no.

You're not going out for a little bit.

We've discussed this.

Yeah, no.

We're staying out with our friend Rose.

She's in my-

[Mother] No, you know what's going on.

I don't even do anything, Mom.

Like, I never go out.

[Mother] Absolutely not.

I, oh my gosh.

It's like I don't, I don't do anything.

I don't go out, I don't,

I listen to all your rules

and then I can't go out with my friends

for five seconds and hang out.

Look at how you're dressed.

You're not just going out.

I'm not dumb.

I wasn't born yesterday.

You're not just hanging out.

I'm furious with you.

[Darlin'] Yes we are.

- We're gonna take photos. - Excuse me.

You girls need to go home.

You need to leave.

[Darlin'] Mom, stop talking to my friends like that.

[Mother] Excuse me?

It's summer.

Excuse me?

I raised you better than this.

Do not disrespect me in front of your friends.

Ladies.

[Darlin'] No, they're not leaving.

Don't leave.

We're going to this party.

Excuse me.

I can't wait for your dad to hear what's going on.

- Darlin'. - We're just gonna go.

- We'll call you. - No.

- It's fine. - Okay, sorry.

Oh my gosh.

Whatever.

- Not whatever. - No, I don't get to go ever.

This is not whatever.

I don't do anything with my friends.

Anytime of the day.

You just, you don't, I'm not gonna even,

I don't do anything, Mom!

[Mother] I understand that you want to go out,

that you want to hang out with your friends.

No you don't.

We're just gonna go hang out.

Like, I don't understand what the big deal is.

It is not safe.

I've talked to all the ladies at the country club.

None of them are letting their children go out.

It is not safe.

Okay, like, you can't,

you're just like every other mom?

You can't be unique?

[Mother] It's not about being unique.

It's about making you safe.

It's, this is just-

What's going on here?

[Darlin'] Dad, please let me go out.

I don't do anything.

I just wanna go out.

Well, you know, if it was up to me, I'd-

Are you serious? Back me up.

[Darlin'] I'll be home by like, 10:00.

[Mother] No, you're not going out after dark.

We've discussed this.

No, I am.

I'm gonna go out with my friends.

[Mother] She cannot be this disrespectful.

Dad, I don't do anything.

I don't go out.

I don't do anything bad.

- Maybe we should? - It's summer.

I mean, if you're gonna be back at a reasonable hour.

- Yeah. - No, reasonable hour?

Look at how she's dressed.

[Darlin'] Seriously, Mom?

Like, were you ever a teenager once?

Did you ever go out or dress your own way and have fun?

Everything you do reflects our entire family.

- You were not raised this way. - Okay.

I'm sorry that you decided to have me and I reflect on you.

[Mother] No, I'm not okay with her going,

I'm not okay with her sneaking out with her friends.

I wasn't sneaking out with my friends.

- I'm not even- - I did not sneak out.

Who are your friends?

Look at how they dress.

What is, what are you turning into?

[Darlin'] My friend, they had dresses on.

Oh no, they had dresses on.

Dad, please tell her that I wanna go out.

Well, you know, if I had my way,

I'd probably let her go for a little bit.

You need to back me up here.

This is the time.

- No. - I get it, I get it.

This is what we talk in therapy.

I'm stuck in the middle here.

This is the time.

[Darlin'] This is what we talk in therapy, okay.

Now is the time to back me up.

[Darlin'] This is fucking ridiculous.

Hey, language.

[Darlin'] I just, I wanna go out.

I have not gone out.

I do everything you say,

I come home at a reasonable hour.

I listen to all your rules and I can't go out

and have fun for once in my entire life.

You are being histrionic and you're making everything-

- Okay. - About you.

I have lost so much sleep.

I have cried.

You've watched the news with me.

You are not safe.

I'm safe, okay?

And not everything is about me.

I'm trying to go out

and have a good time with my friends

and you're making a big deal.

You're making it about you.

- This is not about you. - Oh my gosh.

I don't care, Mom.

Whatever. Okay, I don't care.

I don't care!

- You guys. - Honey, honey.

[Father] Hey, slow the roll.

This is what we talked about.

I get it, I get it.

- She's so outta control. - I get it.

(cellphone dings)

(upbeat ambient music)

(Darlin' laughs)

(upbeat music continues)

(both arguing faintly)

[Darlin'] This was our summer

and nobody was going to ruin it.

(upbeat rock music)

(friends chattering)

This boy, what's his name?

Okay, guys. I think we're better than that.

Seriously.

(upbeat rock music)

[M] This was our summer

and nobody was going to ruin it.

(upbeat rock music)

(party guests chattering)

Hell yeah.

Hell yeah, come on.

(all chattering)

[Darlin'] That was so close!

(girls cheering)

Yay! That was nice.

- That ball on top. - Yes.

(upbeat rock music)

(all chattering)

I don't have a lot of film left.

Okay, but can you make it though?

- Ugh! - Sorry.

You guys suck.

Is it my turn now?

Get it, girl.

[Skater Boi] Darlin'? Darlin'?

- Huh? - Gotta be careful.

Okay, that light is so bright.

Yes! Yes!

- Sorry, it's vintage. - Excuse me, cameraman.

You missed her shot.

Oh, vintage, huh? What year was it?

- Yeah. - 2004.

Wow, fancy.

- You're a fancy guy over here. - Yes, yes.

[Skater Boi] Wow, that's some confidence

for somebody who's living with a killer on the loose.

Right.

[Crowd] Ooh!

- Okay, okay. - Ooh.

Wow, you're still at it again?

Well, you're really annoying, so.

[Skater Boi] I want to reflect on your glasses

and back into your pupils.

(party guests chattering)

- On you? - Okay.

[Darlin'] She pissed and then I picked her up

and now it's on me.

- Yo. - Ah, what's up?

[Skater Boi] If you go anywhere near this

fucking camera, I swear to God.

Ah, you're not gonna do anything.

What do you mean?

[Skater Boi] Bro, you just watch.

You just watch.

I can just grab it right now.

[Skater Boi] I ain't scared of no baby bitch.

Ah, I ain't scared of shit either.

[Skater Boi] I ain't scared of no baby bitch.

Ah, you don't want it.

See if I can get it.

I'm not scared of you.

[Skater Boi] I wasn't trying to scare you.

I was doing like this, "Meep."

Is it time for us to take a shot?

[Skater Boi] Did I miss the shot, shot, shot, shot, shot?

To forgetting about our problems

and having fun this summer.

(all cheering)

(party guests chattering)

[Darlin'] No, that counts. This is like water.

- Yeah. - Okay, I got this.

(upbeat music)

- Yes! - Yeah!

[Skater Boi] You guys do that too.

(group cheering)

That's a very millennial thing to do.

Okay!

- Oh! - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

- Are you fucking kidding me? - It wasn't my fault.

I have to walk home like this.

I didn't mean to!

What the?

He was the one who bumped into me.

This is what we're not going to do.

You're not doing this shit in my house.

Get the fuck out of my party.

Are you fucking kidding me?

- Oh! - Look what she fucking did.

I don't give a shit, get the fuck out.

Fight, fight, fight, fight!

Fuck all of you.

No, no I think I hear something.

[Rose] Dude, are you good? I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it's fine.

[Rose] I'm so sorry that happened.

That shit, no.

[Skater Boi] How does that make you feel?

[Rose] Yeah, we're not.

Can you fill in for me for a second?

- Yeah. - Yes!

Oh, good! Are you okay?

Um, can we talk over?

- Yeah. - Yeah, sure.

We'll be right back.

- Um. - What's going on?

I need to go.

My neighbor just texted me saying

that my dad's passed out on the lawn.

- No. - Are you serious?

[Darlin'] Don't leave.

I stuck out and everything for this party.

- No, I- - He always does this to you.

- Yeah. - I know.

But just being on the lawn,

I don't want someone to call the police.

- I need to go. - Wait, he's not your,

he's literally not your problem.

[Baby Girl] Yeah, honestly, fuck him.

If someone calls the police,

they call the police.

[Darlin'] You're his daughter.

Like, you don't have to go home for your dad.

[Baby Girl] Yeah.

I, I get it.

But I need to go, I just-

[Baby Girl] Come on, M.

I really don't want him to get in trouble.

- Are you serious? - I'm sorry, guys.

We're having so much fun though.

Aren't you having fun?

[M] Yeah, of course, I'm having fun,

but I just, I need to go.

Are you gonna come back?

Um, maybe, I don't.

Probably not.

All right, well, I'll see you guys around.

- Okay. - All right, love you.

[Baby Girl] Okay.

[Darlin'] Lemme know when you get home safe.

- Okay, I will. - Yeah, just be safe, okay?

- Alright, love you. - Bye.

[Both] Bye.

[Darlin'] It was good hanging out with you.

[Skater Boi] Hey!

- Hey. - How's it going?

So good.

[Skater Boi] I know that puppy's

not the only thing you wanna love.

No, I think she's enough.

[Skater Boi] I just want you to know

I make films on the side,

like that's kind of cool, right?

I'm a filmmaker.

You ever been with a filmmaker before?

No, but I think I'm good.

You said this was a retro camera, right?

[Skater Boi] Vintage camera.

You think I can just check it out a little bit?

I just wanna use it real quick.

[Skater Boi] What are you doing, bro?

- Yeah. - Dude, be careful with that.

Let me just see that.

I'm just gonna do something with it real quick.

[Skater Boi] You can't do that.

It's vintage. Be careful with it.

I have so much footage of me with your mom on there.

[Boy Toy] Oh, you don't gotta worry.

- You're fine. - Stop it, dude.

[Boy Toy] Come on, baby.

Let's go do something real quick.

- Okay. - Don't!

Don't, don't go with Boy Toy.

[Baby Girl] Darlin' it's fine,

I'll be right back.

- Ew. - Darlin' it's fine.

Ew, you're so gross.

You're so gross.

[Baby Girl] I'll be right back.

Oh yeah, you'll be right back.

(mysterious music)

[Boy Toy] Oh, you look so good tonight, babe.

Thank you.

[Boy Toy] Yeah, I know it's been a while,

but it's good to be hanging out again.

I've been missing you.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

Hmm.

[Boy Toy] I know, it just ended a little weird last year,

but I'm so happy to finally see you again.

It's good to run into each other.

I've just been wanting to be with you again, you know?

(laughs) That's a joke.

[Boy Toy] Oh, come on.

You know- - You're lying to me.

[Boy Toy] No, babe.

I care about you a lot.

Yeah, right.

[Boy Toy] I know I upset you before,

but I really think it's time for you

to gimme another chance.

Can you just put that away?

[Boy Toy] I don't know.

I just think it's kind of nice.

You look so good tonight.

I think it's creepy.

Come on, put the camera away.

I'm not gonna do anything with it in my face.

[Boy Toy] Aw, babe.

You just look so good right now.

I'd love to capture the moment.

No, seriously.

It's making me uncomfortable.

I don't want it.

- Aw. - Come on.

[Boy Toy] Okay, Okay.

(ominous music)

(door clicks)

- Give me that back. - Dude, what the fuck?

I'm using that shit.

[Skater Boi] It's vintage.

- Ah. - $300 eBay. Don't touch it.

You're never gonna do anything better with it.

[Skater Boi] I don't want to see you

and your grubby fingers

doing whatever you are doing with her.

- [Radio Announcer] - Good Evening, listeners,

we bring you a somber update tonight.

The town is reeling from the tragic news

of yet another young woman falling victim

to the elusive and brutal assailant

known as the Moonlight Killer.

This latest attack, like the ones before,

occurred under the cover of darkness

with no apparent motive.

Leaving the community in a state of fear and confusion.

Authorities are urging all residents,

particularly the town's youth,

to remain indoors after dark as a precaution.

Despite an intense investigation,

the police currently have no leads

on the identity of the killer.

They ask anyone with information,

no matter how insignificant it may seem to come forward.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the victim.

We will continue to provide updates as the story develops.

(victim shouting)

In the face of this growing threat,

many residents are taking drastic measures.

With the summer season upon us,

(blood squelches)

numerous families are packing up and leaving town,

hoping to find safety elsewhere

until the perpetrator's caught.

Police Chief Thompson urges anyone with information

to come forward and reassures the community

that law enforcement is doing everything in its power

to bring this nightmare to an end.

Until then, residents are advised to stay vigilant

and report any suspicious activity immediately.

(boot stomping)

As always, the mandated curfew is still currently in effect.

(bones crunching)

(ominous music)

(upbeat rock music)

(group laughing)

(engine revving)

(rock music continues)

I kind of like it, I don't know.

I know, it's so nice.

I just can't believe it.

No one's getting on us about

being the curfew or past curfew.

[Friend] I know, because they don't,

they enforce it, but like not a lot.

Hey!

Hey, can I see your board?

- What the? - Oh yeah.

Hey, you know what this is made out of?

- No. - Boyfriend material. Hi.

- Stop. - Oh my God.

Give me back my fucking board.

Hey, can I ride it?

You guys wanna learn some tricks?

- No. - No.

[M] What do you mean? What kinda tricks?

[Darlin'] Hi.

You going to the rock concert later?

- No. - No?

- No. - Well, I'm inviting you,

so if you want come, I'd like to see you there.

[Darlin'] I really don't even like,

like that type of music.

[M] Yeah, but I mean, it's a night out.

That might be fun.

Yeah, but...

- Yeah. - Well, I'll be there.

We can hang out.

[Darlin'] I like the color of your eyes.

Thank you.

I like your smile.

- Okay, thank you. - Yeah, no problem.

Compliment her shirt.

Maybe she'll like that.

I like your pants.

(all laughing)

Shirt! Shirt!

[Darlin'] Thank you.

Can you gimme a spin around?

[Darlin'] No.

Can you give me a spin around?

Let me see that ass.

(group laughing)

I love it.

Hey, how you doing?

- Good. - Enjoying the night so far?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

[Baby Girl] Yeah, are you?

Yeah, it's better now seeing you.

- Oh my God. - All that rizz.

Who can say no?

Uh, not really.

I'm just like, doing my regular thing.

Just going to my favorite places of all time.

I mean, the killer's not around me per se,

so I'm not really worried about it.

(upbeat rock music)

- You're right. - Are you okay?

- Like this. - (all chattering)

You're so cute.

- You've been here? - Yeah.

- Since then? - Yeah.

- Oh. - How 'bout you?

(all chattering)

Maybe we're planning on going.

Why not?

(all chattering)

Hey, what are all you doing out here?

- Having fun. - Here's the rent-a-cop.

- Rent-a-cop, aw. - There's a curfew in effect.

Busted!

(teenagers jeering)

- Boo! - Boo yourself.

Get out of here!

- No. - Are you serious?

- We're not doing anything. - It's fine.

It doesn't matter if you're not doing anything.

Do you wanna get killed too?

- Maybe. - (group laughing)

You've got balls.

You can see what he looks like.

I don't know if you've been drinking, kid.

- No, I'm not. - Whatever, dude.

Come on, get outta here.

Come on, let's go.

[Baby Girl] You can't be serious.

Absolutely, darlin'.

Get on outta here.

(upbeat rock music)

- Fine. - Whatever, rent-a-cop.

Go back on your scooter.

- Oh my God. - Weirdo.

(teenagers cheering)

(upbeat rock music)

[Darlin'] This was our summer

and nobody was going to ruin it.

(heavy rock music)

♪ This is not my tempo ♪

Trouble is kind of what we're known for.

I mean, here we're just in a small town.

We're kind of known for making a little ruckus.

So what's a little trouble?

Man, fuck it. This is rock and roll.

What's a little trouble every now and again?

If anything, we want to get in trouble.

Any publicity is good publicity.

I was just gonna say,

I mean, either way,

in rock and roll heads are rolling.

So, you know, just kind of keep the same old attitude,

same shit, different day.

It's kind of a cool name if you ask me.

Heads are rolling.

The Moonlight Killer.

If anything, it's more incentive to play a show

because that gets people outs and abouts

and you know, Acid Box is no more.

Certainly not a serial killer band name at all, Acid Box.

- No. - Totally family friendly.

- Yeah. - Totally easy to hide here.

I'm so excited to be out.

Same.

I feel like I'm a little bit nervous though,

because it's gonna be dark after.

So then what happens then?

What if something I dunno, happens to us?

You know what?

I don't even care if we get arrested at this point.

We just wanna have fun.

So let's just have fun and enjoy our night, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

- We look gorgeous. - You look great.

[Z] Guys, what are you doing here?

- Hey! - Yeah.

I didn't know you guys go to these things.

What's going on?

Yeah, to be honest,

I don't even really like this kind of music.

I just wanna get out.

Oh, well you're here for the great show.

These guys are fucking awesome.

[Darlin'] Oh, really?

M, I have,

wow, you look amazing.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's, that's so cool.

Well, I was wondering like maybe

after the show that maybe we could like, talk?

Yeah, definitely.

[Z] Okay, awesome.

Well, hey, I'm gonna go in,

but you guys have a great time, all right?

- Thanks, Z. - Bye, Z.

[Z] Cool.

(laughs) And make sure we don't post anything

on socials because I don't want my mom to find out.

- Okay, you're right. - Yeah.

No one can know that we're here.

Well, let's have a good time.

- Yeah, let's. - Okay.

- Great. - I'm excited.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Nice meeting you.

I'll text you later.

No, I mean, temperature.

Oh yeah, I would turn the car on,

but I think I'd want to talk.

- It's okay. - I'm sorry.

[M] No, it's okay.

So, you know, last year I thought we kind of had,

we were talking that I kind of had a crush on you.

I'm sorry. (laughs)

And I've been thinking about you this entire year

and I was wondering maybe

well, you know, I'm not really a ladies' man,

but I just wanted to, you know,

take a chance.

Yeah.

[Z] Would you like to go see a movie with me?

Z, I would love to.

I mean, if this was last year,

I was very much interested as well.

It's just, you know, everything with my dad.

[Z] Oh, yeah.

At the end of the summer, I have to leave.

I, I just don't want anything holding me back.

Oh.

Okay, yeah, for sure.

Like I said, I just wanted to take a chance.

[M] Yeah.

Yeah, no, it's perfectly fine, yeah.

Well I'd better take you guys home, yeah?

[M] Okay.

[Radio Announcer] In a chilling development,

a third body has been discovered

in what appears to be a series of brutal slayings

that have all occurred at night.

The latest victim was found early this morning

in a secluded area off Parkview Avenue.

Authorities say the scene bears the hallmarks

of the same violent pattern

observed in the previous two murders.

The community has begun referring to the perpetrator

as the Moonlight Killer,

a name that has quickly gained traction

as fear grips the city.

Police have yet to release specific details

about the ongoing investigation,

but they have confirmed

that there are striking similarities between the murders

leading them to believe

they are dealing with a serial killer.

In response to these disturbing events,

law enforcement officials are urging young people

and residents to avoid secluded areas

and to stay indoors at night whenever possible.

Increased patrols and community vigilance initiatives

are being implemented

in an effort to prevent further tragedies.

The investigation remains active

and the police are encouraging anyone with information

that could assist in identifying the killer

to please come forward.

The community's cooperation is deemed essential

in bringing the Moonlight Killer to justice

and restoring a sense of safety to our town.

(blood squelching)

(ominous music)

(knife clangs) (blood squelches)

(pool balls clatter)

(upbeat rock music)

Hey, it's been a while.

- It's been a long time, man. - Yeah.

- Thanks for coming. - Good to see you.

Hey, come on, sit down.

I don't think we've met.

Nice to officially meet you.

Likewise.

It's been way too long, man.

I really appreciate you coming out to see us.

I don't know what to do.

Things have been crazy.

Kids been acting crazy, you know,

but again, it is important that we meet.

I'm glad you guys are here.

Well, here's the thing.

Ever since our daughter started

hanging out with your daughter,

she's been getting into all kinds of trouble.

She's been sneaking out,

she's been going to rock concerts.

You should see how these girls dress.

You know what? Hold on.

I didn't invite you out here to make this a blame game.

I'm having the same problem with my daughter.

I didn't accuse your daughter of anything.

I'm trying to figure out what we can do

to help our daughters.

[Mother] Well, excuse me, Mr. Tattoo and a beer.

[Father] Hey, hey.

[Mother] What kind of decisions

are you making that's influencing your daughter?

It's okay.

We don't need to go there.

You know, we're all on the same page here.

We're trying to get to the bottom of this.

So, let's just relax a little bit.

Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to relax

when kids are not safe, people are dying,

and our daughter is hanging out with low lifes.

- Low lifes? - Come on.

- Now look, here's it. - Okay, okay, alright.

Let's just calm down.

This isn't going anywhere and I think we're supposed

to be meeting somebody else here, right?

Yeah, and if I remember correctly,

- he's a real piece of shit. - Jesus.

Yes, I am.

A badge I wear proudly.

(chair squeaking)

[Mother] You look like hell.

Is this what hell looks like?

It's not so bad.

[Mother] What happened to you?

We used to be so close.

You had so much potential.

You used to have really great dance moves,

especially on top of the bar.

[Mother] Oh my God.

But you threw those away too.

I just don't know what to do with Darlin'.

It's like, the more we tell her no,

the more she keeps going out

and she doesn't even realize the danger.

I mean, they're clueless.

Baby Girl's been the same way.

When I talked to them earlier,

I saw them out and I did,

I lost my cool with them, you know?

But I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

It's, I wasn't ready for this.

The kids are like we used to be when we were kids.

[Mother] Yeah.

I mean, what would we have done?

But the difference here

is that there wasn't a Moonlight Killer, you know?

Like when we were in high school,

there wasn't that danger.

People are dying.

It shouldn't be this hard.

The thing that really drives me crazy

is the cops don't have any leads yet.

They're not looking in the right place.

What does that mean?

Okay, I know this might come as a surprise to you guys,

but I tend to spend a lot of time in places like this

and you see and hear a lot of things in a bar.

Stuff people won't talk about outside these walls.

All those people that have died recently,

you know, the ones they've been finding all summer.

They used to come to places like this.

And I recognize a lot of 'em.

Neo-Nazi scumbags,

but not all necessarily the typical skinhead types.

But definitely some part

of extreme right behind closed doors.

You know, they've always been here living among us,

but they've gotten smart.

They've learned to blend in with society now.

Could be anyone.

After those five minority kids

were killed last year in that apparent hate crime,

they all just suddenly vanished.

Stopped showing up to bars and biker rallies.

And now?

All just fallen by the wayside.

One by one by one.

Get up.

You wanna go to work?

Absolutely.

Oh!

(group laughing)

(punches thudding)

Yeah! (laughs)

There you go. There you go.

(punch thuds)

Oh.

Not so tough now.

(punches thudding)

Yeah.

That could hurt more.

(Jay spits)

Oh shit, you gonna take that?

(punches thudding)

You had enough?

What about you? You had enough?

Man, fuck y'all crackers, man.

(group laughing)

(gunshot blasts)

Oh! (laughs)

Your kind shouldn't have come around here.

(group laughing)

I think the message is clear now.

Those people aren't welcome here.

(group laughing)

That leader of theirs is the only one

who hasn't wound up dead.

Yet.

Wait a second.

So you're telling me

that the Moonlight Killer is doing this out of revenge

for those five kids that got killed?

The girls are, they were friends with those kids.

That one named Jay,

Darlin's not been the same since they found him.

Baby Girl hasn't been the same either.

Neither has M.

Look, all I'm saying is I bet you a dollar to a dime

that the next body they find is gonna be their leader.

(ominous music)

(train rumbling)

(car doors slamming)

Wait, fuck the disguise.

Let's have this asshole see who we are.

- You're right. - Okay.

(suspenseful synth music)

[M] Sick.

[Baby Girl] This was our summer

and nobody was going to ruin it.

[M] This was our summer

and nobody was going to ruin it.

(ominous music)

(weapons thudding)

(gunshot blasts)

(Bald Guy breathing heavily)

I don't think so.

Get up.

(Bald Guy groaning)

We're gonna kill you, you fucking Nazi.

You remember our friend Jay?

This is for him.

Yeah, we're really gonna enjoy this.

Baby, Darlin', grab his arms.

(intense music)

Stay still.

(intense music)

And this is the summer we died.

[Baby Girl] Open up, boy.

(Bald Guy groaning)

(blood squelches)

[Radio Announcer] In the wake of the tragic events

of five young minorities who were killed recently

in what police believe were hate crimes

participated by a neo-Nazi group,

they now report that individuals linked

to the neo-Nazi group have themselves been targeted

and killed in what appears

to be a series of revenge killings.

Authorities urge the community to remain calm-

[Narrator] Five bodies.

All of them found with their heads so severely disfigured,

it was hard to make out who they were

until the dental records were looked into.

(upbeat music)

[Darlin'] Of course, we weren't giving up our summer.

Summertime was the only time it felt

like we could truly unleash all of the angst

and anxieties that school and our parents put on us.

It's when we could watch the sun go down

and come back up without missing a moment

of the night in between.

It's when the boys were interchangeable.

It's when the skate parks and the neighborhood streets

and the abandoned parking lots were our church

and summertime was our religion.

(upbeat rock music)

Well, I'm happy the curfew got lifted.

It's crazy that the Moonlight Killer just vanished.

(M sighs)

(cellphone ringing)

Oh, hang on a second.

Hey.

Yeah, I'm just finishing the last box.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right, I'll see you soon.

Sorry, that was my friend Z.

He's helping me move to California.

Well, he's actually moving with me, but you know.
