- [sighs]

- I just can't--

I mean, what even is a hex?

Like a magic spell?

- Shh. I'm sorry, Brad.

Go ahead.

Tell us about the hex.

We all know what one is.

- I recorded that video,
like, two years ago

after we worked
a string of shit-show events.

I thought I was in the clear
when you hadn't brought it up.

I really thought
the hex didn't work.

I mean, why would
something like that

actually work, you know?

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

I just--

I was in
a really dark place.

- Because of Ruby?

- Yes, yes, because of Ruby.
- Mm-hmm.

- And then there was
this stretch where

me and Ruby would get drunk
and make out after events.

And it meant--honestly,
it meant nothing.

But then she kept reminding me
that, like, it meant nothing

and over and over.

And it just felt pointed
and dismissive.

And then it made me realize,
you know, how dismissive she is

of me at work as well.
- Mm-hmm.

- You know, she never gives me
credit when I have great ideas.

She never says thank you.

- Oh, shut up, Brad.

Yes, I do.

Remember when we hired your dad

to do magic
at the Microsoft party?

I told everybody,
only Brad would be that brave.

- See? Dismissive.

And maybe even
a little demeaning as well.

- Yeah, for sure.

- Here you go, slugger.
- Thank you.

- It's a little hot.

Be careful.

- Why are you comforting him?

Would you comfort
Richard Ramirez?

Because that is essentially
what you are doing.

- You mean the Night Stalker?

The serial killer?

- 13 murders, 5 attempted,

brought down by civilians
in Boyle Heights.

Great cheekbones,
terrible teeth.

- Exactly.

Brad is the reason why

18 people are dead.
- Why is she saying that?

- So--so actually--

actually, he's worse
than the Night Stalker.

It goes Zodiac,
Night Stalker, Brad.

- No, it goes Ruby, Ruby, Ruby.

- AJ, please.
- No.

I am only here because

previously
undiscovered evidence

has reactivated
my interest in the case.

I'm still very hurt
and mad at you.

- I just want a chance
to try and--

- Ruby shows up,
tells me I'm gonna die,

and disappears--just bolts.

- She's out of there.
- Out of there.

And I'm like, hi,

I have some
follow-up questions.

- Well, Ruby
straight-up destroyed

my five-year relationship,
betrayed me,

and now my ex is gonna die
as a result.

- OK, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I have made
many, many mistakes.

But let's not forget that
Brad is a piece of shit too.

He summoned the demons
of the netherworld,

and he needs to undo the hex.

- Oh, I--yeah, I mean,
I can't undo it.

- What do you mean?

- Well, I mean, it's not like--

it's not like I actually
performed the hex.

That's insane.
- I see. I see.

- Yeah, that's ridiculous.

No, I--some--

I don't even know
what her name is.

I mean, it was
some random woman

at a bar one night
after the McKenzie--

you know,
the McKenzie Sweet 16?

Oh, man,
that event was a doozy.

95 gluten-frees, 24 vegans.

- Ruby?

- Isaac?

Hi. Uh...

Didn't think
you were coming today.

- I didn't think
you were coming.

You haven't answered
any of my calls or texts.

I thought you didn't want
to see me.

- Well, guess
we're doing this now.

Whatever she told you about me,
it isn't true.

Richie.

- Oh, you are

he doesn't know me.

Looks like he just got
introduced to his mistress

what Merci told you was true.

My exes are dying.

- That's absurd.

- I know it's hard to believe,

but those 18 people with Xs
over their faces,

they're dead.

And every single one of them
I've slept with.

- Maybe this is just
what happens in our 30s?

- And they're dying
in the exact order

I slept with them.

- OK, well, there's got
to be an explanation.

Right, maybe it's long--

- COVID?

No, we ruled that out.
- Body--

- Hair theories?

Went through all of them.

Almost thought we had something
with "surprise fire crotch."

Unexpected red pubes.

- How about plan--

- B?

Only took it once.

OK, twice.

It was three times.

I took it four to five times.

It doesn't matter.
We ruled it out.

The point is, Isaac,
we did all of this already.

And it's not a new
Nathan Fielder show either.

I'm the problem.

And everything else Merci said,

it's all true.

Remember at the smelt tasting,

when I was upset about
a horrible thing I did to AJ?

Well, the horrible thing was
sleeping with her boyfriend.

- What?
- You know the other night

when we kissed in the rain
and you said you'd wait for me?

Well, I didn't wait for you.

Immediately after, I had sex
with that guy, Richie.

- You had sex with Guy Ritchie?

- What? No.

Sorry, I didn't pause
in the right place.

I had sex with that guy,
comma, Richie,

because he's the only person
who hasn't died,

and for some reason now
he's this sex loophole.

So I had sex with him
pretending

I was having sex with you.

- Look, if you're not into me
or whatever, just say that.

You don't have to make up
a bunch of wild stories.

- I'm not making it up.

I'm actually being
completely honest

for the first time,
like you told me to do

with AJ, remember?

Because I care about you.

I had a couple of drinks with

Even on the floor

it's so comfortable.

- You deserve
that type of comfort, Zack.

You've been through so much.

- How is it going with AJ?

- Not good, Starlight.

All these endorsements
just make me miss her more.

All the space
on my Mattriss mattress,

it's all so meaningless
without my girl.

- Have you thought about doing
something to win AJ back?

Show her how much
she means to you?

- I--I tried.

I bought her stuffed animals,
fixed things around the house,

stashed beef jerky
in all of her pockets

so she'll never have to get up
to get a snack.

- Those sound like things

What does AJ like?

- Coffee, juice, the Rockettes.

authentic Mexican restaurants,

true crime.

- Well, AJ sounds

- Hi.

- Tough day on the sales floor.

was your little situation.

- You were thinking about me?

- No, I was thinking
about your situation.

Is that "Running Scared"?

- Yeah.

Did you know
Billy Crystal had abs?

- Fuck yeah, I did.

- How did I not know?

- AJ still done with you?

- Probably forever.

- Isaac still gone?

- Mm-hmm.

He thinks I lied
about everything.

- I got more popcorn
for Ruby Hot Sauce.

- The kind she likes?

- White cheddar, but remember,

please only give her
one kernel at a time.

- Well, she almost finished
this whole bag, so...

no more for you.

[crunching]

So we found out I can transfer
the hex to someone else.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Great.

OK.

Good.

So this nightmare
will finally be over.

Everything will be
back to normal.

No more loophole.

No more dead exes.

This is great news.

- It's not great news.

AJ thinks I should
keep the hex.

And to be honest,
I think I should too.

I fucked up so bad
that I completely

destroyed my relationship
with my best friend.

I have no family,
no romantic future.

I'm probably gonna die alone.

And the sad part is
I probably deserve to,

because I am a bad person.

- Ruby...

you're not a bad person.

- No, I am.

You even said it
when you kidnapped me.

- Again, you were free to go.

- You said, and I quote,

that I was the worst person
you've ever met.

- Look, maybe I was wrong.

OK, I wasn't.

But you're trying to be better.

Hey, look, you even wrote
that letter to your dad.

That's hard to do.

- Yeah, but I didn't send it,

and I know I should,

and I want to, but I'm scared.

I'm running scared.

Maybe underneath it all,
I am just a coward.

- You are not a coward.

You're working on yourself.

You're at least trying
to make things better,

with the exes dying, with AJ.

- Yeah, but a good person
wouldn't have slept with

her best friend's boyfriend
to begin with.

- OK.

Ruby, you are not the first
person to ever make a mistake.

OK?

And you've been doing
the best you can

to try and make up for it.

And yes,
if you look at the facts,

you might deserve
some of these things

that are happening to you,
but that doesn't mean

you don't deserve love.

[soft music]

Yes,

you have a lot
of annoying qualities,

like how you make
my place a sauna

or how you don't know how
to properly load a dishwasher.

- Water comes at it
in all directions.

It doesn't matter which way
the bowl is facing.

- Nope, nope.
Always down.

- Yeah.

Hi.

Just curious, does someone
named Marcus still work here?

[glass shattering]

- [screaming]

- Oh, no.

- I watched him die
right in front of my eyes.

- Jesus.

Poor Marcus...

Whittenberg.

- So everyone you slept with
is dying.

- Yeah.

- Except me.

- That's OK.

- What?

- We can figure our way
around this.

I mean, yes,
I don't want to die.

But also, you're unlike
anyone I've ever met.

[soft music]

- Isaac--

- I know--I know you're

killing guys and girls
with sex,

and you don't know why.

And I believe I worked you up
into such a frenzy

that you had no choice
but to immediately

sleep with that guy
while you imagined me.

And I knew you'd be watching
a Billy Crystal movie.

I know you, Ruby.

I don't want
