Woman: Merry Christmas!

Whoo!

Oh, you get me! You get me! Really!

It's so good to see all of you on this blessed day.

A little cold.

All of your smiling, beautiful faces,

they all keep me warm all year 'round,

I'll tell you that.

[Applause]

But we're here for one thing.

I know you know what it is.

-Should we do it? -Yeah!

Angel Falls, I give you...

Christmas!

[Cheers and applause]

Looks like we'll make it to our car this year

without Mr. Waters making Dad do some work.

Henry: Hey. David Carruthers, is that you?

Jinxed it. Look it!

All the Carruthers are here!

Hey, great job with the tree.

Oh, thank you!

What did you think? Oh, God.

Is that Mr. Waters' little brother Buck

taking selfies?

Jimmy: He started an OnlyFans last week.

[Laughs] I swear.

Did you see the commercial, Judy?

My new one? No. Not yet.

Oh, you got to check it out.

It's playing regionally thanks to David's marketing genius.

Yeah, I directed that bad boy.

Oh, I remember, Buck. Ha, I know.

I kicked you off the set.

Yeah, okay, okay.

That's what I remember.

Hey, Buck.

You remember me?

Jimmy Carruthers.

You were my peewee football coach.

Yo, yo, yo, TikTok. Um...

if you ever wanted to see my dick,

Merry Christmas to you.

It's hard to fit it under the tree.

Please shoot me.

David, we still got to get Roger Evans.

He won't sign those papers.

Roger's house is the last thing standing in the way.

Standing in the way of what?

Well, this is exciting.

Phase Four for the new Angel Falls.

It's gonna be your future favorite shopping,

dining, and lifestyle destination.

LA's got The Grove. We're gonna have Waters Cove.

Can't believe you didn't tell her about this!

Didn't the town council decide his house

is an historic landmark?

Ma'am, they almost did.

See, I'm a little bit more persuasive

than my father ever was.

He was so driven by sentiment. [Chuckles]

Let's go, Dave. We'll talk about it on the way.

Dad, it's Christmas Eve.

Just keep my meal warm. I won't be long.

Henry: You have a microwave?

You can heat up the food afterwards.

It'll be fine. I love the microwave.

Yeah, she cooks all the meals in the microwave.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Come on.

It's okay, Mom. This happens every Christmas.

You ought to be used to it by now.

Come on. Let's go home.

Henry Waters, Prince of Angel Falls, strikes again.

♪ Around the fire on Christmas night ♪

Henry: Here we go, Roger. You got the pen?

All ready to go. Let me just twist it.

Ready to go for you.

Mr. Evans, we know you're carrying

a lot of debt, and you could use the money.

So, I think it's a really great idea to sign.

You're a good man, David.

But my family's lived here for generations.

My granddaughter will own it next.

I'm not signing.

[Chuckles]

When your dad died a few years ago, Henry,

he should have left the business to David.

But I'm his son.

David was more of a son to him than you ever were.

Look, Roger. I know you and your family,

you used to be the gold standard around here.

Especially at Christmas time.

You donated those trees, year after year.

But that was in the past.

'Cause I'm here now.

So, I want you to take a look around your town --

if you're able to walk outside on your own.

And you will see that I'm the person this town

needs to move us on into the future.

By kicking them from their storefronts and their homes?

The people of this town are its future, Henry.

They want to live.

To work and be happy. And that's it.

Your father knew that.

Why do you want to take that away from them?

Why do you want to turn them into your drones?

Roger, you don't know anything about my father.

So why don't we leave him out of this, yeah?

It's your last chance.

Sign the papers.

No.

Cara: You okay, Grandpa?

Hi, Cara.

Just a little Christmas business.

[Chuckles]

You off to the party?

Yeah. Unless you need me to stay?

No, no, you go on. Have fun.

Love you, Grandpa.

Good to see you, Mr. Carruthers.

Great to see you, Cara.

We'll see you tomorrow night for dinner?

Great. Have fun at the party.

Not like "a weirdo," they literally named you Weirdo.

How would I know that?

[Sighs] Just hear me out.

Last Christmas Eve, Mr. Evans was murdered

in his home first.

Then Eddie and Cara were murdered at the park party.

Plus...

Jimmy.

Well, in the version where I still exist,

I killed the killer, and it was Henry Waters.

He killed Eddie and Cara and then he came after me and Jimmy.

But I killed him. I saved Jimmy.

You took out the killer,

and you're saying it was Mayor Waters.

It was!

Oh, God.

I wasn't there to save him.

And now he's dead.

All the offed teenagers were part of families

with businesses in town.

Or they had businesses in town.

Had? The kids died.

And then the businesses died.

And then you weren't around to stop him,

so he just kept going.

And now he owns the whole damn town.

It's like everyone just gave up.

And he likes killing.

Look, I want to believe you.

I mean, it makes sense.

Henry Waters is a twat. He's now mayor.

He killed the last sheriff so his TikTok cock dumb-ass brother

Buck could take over, which makes

Mayor Waters untouchable.

But let's say you're just...

you're some girl...

some potentially crazy girl no one knows.

is the day there's another...

massacre.

What reason have you to be merry?

You're poor enough. Come, then.

What right have you to be dismal?

What reason have you to be morose?

You're rich enough.

Win?

Did being unborn hurt?

I'm tired, Bernie.

Can we not?

What? I have so many questions.

[Laughs]

What?

It didn't hurt. It just sort of...happened.

So, no plasma or goo or anything?

I would just imagine it's like...

it's like reverse childbirth.

Where do you come up with this kind of stuff?

Why are you here?

In this...reality?

To learn some lesson?

To appreciate life?

I learned that lesson quickly.

[Sighs]

I do wish I was born.

I wish Jimmy was alive.

See? Nothing.

[Sighs]

I know we just met,

but I have no doubt this town was better with you in it.

Bernie?

Bernie?

Good morning!

I couldn't sleep at all. You snore so loud.

But look what I found.

Do you shoot?

Oh, I try.

I mean, it's probably not as good as you.

I can barely get a photo in focus.

You stayed up all night doing this?

Yeah, I live for this kind of shit.

The aurora is why you're here.

It's rare for it to be seen in our town, but it does happen.

And local folklore says the lights

are the spirit of someone who died violently.

Henry Waters. Yeah.

You killed him in your world, right?

Violently.

His spirit sent you here, Winnie.

And...

there's more.

The aurora's fading.

And if it fades away completely,

I'm stuck here.

Exactly.

What do I do?

My best guess? Kill him again.

Before the aurora disappears.

You'll get your wish to go back and reset...

everything.

[Sighs]

Yay!

Merry Christmas.

This is tonight?

Yep.

A new Christmas festival in town gifted to us by Mayor Waters.

"Are you naughty or nice?

Only Henry Waters can answer that?"

This could be our only chance.

How do we get to him?

This whole town is basically up his ass.

I think there's one person who can help us.

He's closer to Henry Waters than anybody.

[Knocking on door]

You again.

I just need to talk to you.

It's about Jimmy.

I'm not going away until you talk to me!

I don't exist, man! I can do this all day!

Subtle.

I need to talk to him.

Tell me how you know Jimmy.

Make something up.

He's my brother. And you're my aunt.

Oh. Can I come in?

I'm your aunt?

Yes. You're my mom's sister.

Dad works for Henry Waters.

Okay, tell me something you can't Google.

Your ass froze to the ground because you were rocking

an Aguilerean thong at the 1999 Christmas Eve park party.

I always knew that thong would bring people

together one day.

What's an Aguilerean thong?

Judy! What did I say? No more wine.

Leave her alone.

Do you have my Ambien?

Do you have her Ambien?

Who is that?

Uh, you don't want to know.

I mean, he's upstairs if you really want...

You have a lovely home.

Working on Christmas?

For Mr. Waters.

Always.

Are you okay?

You want to talk about Jimmy?

You knew him?

Yeah.

He was...

great.

Yeah, he was.

I used to go to school with Jimmy.

I loved watching him play.

Yeah. He was all-state.

Two years in a row.

I remember this one game, he threw for six touchdowns.

He was so, so, so good.

I remember that.

That was the state semis.

I got so excited that I...

that I spilled hot cocoa --

All over your pants.

Yeah.

Jimmy always lit up when he told me that story.

God, I miss him so much.

So do I.

You know, it's really something.

One person, one life,

can change everything, just by being gone.

And they don't even know it.

And they are so lucky that they don't get to see the pain

they left in their wake.

And they should be so lucky.

Could you imagine?

What seeing this could do to a person?

I know who killed him.

Oh, come on. Don't start this.

I was there that night.

I saw what happened.

What do you mean?

If you were there, why didn't you say something then?

I couldn't.

It was Mr. Waters.

It was Henry Waters?

My best friend?

My boss?

You're saying he killed my son?

Yes. We need to stop him.

Goddamnit!

Why did you come here again? Huh?

Why are you so intent on hurting my family?

Dad, he killed Jimmy!

Dad?

What?

You called me dad.

No. I-I just --

I'm not your dad. I have no children.

You need to get out of the house, go.

He killed Jimmy. Goddamnit!

The guy that you are accusing of murder right now,

he got me this house.

He feeds this family.

He paid for the burial of my son!

So, get the fuck out of here!

Go!

Are you okay?

Hey, it's okay.

My family, this town...

...it died that night with Jimmy.

I got to fix this.

Uh, why is that strange man kissing your neck?

Don't let that bastard scream at you like that.

Yeah. Don't let that bastard scream at you like that.

Who are you?

Who are you? [Laughs]

Mom has a side piece?

Pieces, plural.

Told you you didn't want to know.

Goddamn mess.

You heard me, Judy? You're a goddamn mess!

I didn't realize that was your mom.

David is not the man he used to be.

Well, that's true. He comes and goes at all hours.

Even in the middle of the night.

Oh, look, there he fucking goes again!

[Door slams]

You're not nice.

Regardless, my husband thinks he's tough.

Don't let him trick you!

Wait, Winnie.

They don't even know that they're your family, right?

I know it sucks. I've seen like a zillion randos

playing tonsil hockey with my mom, but...

we need them.

We need someone.

Aunt Gale! That guy needs to leave.

Mom! No!

No! Gale, we got to go, we got to go!

[Screams] Come on!

Winnie, let's go!

[Screams]

Go, go, go!

[Screams]

Stop!

[Groans]

Bernie: We have to step over him.

Go.

He's still breathing.

That's okay. I got you.

Okay, come on.

What are you doing?

I have to kill him.

Yes, you can do it, Winnie.

Dad.

David: I told you...

I'm not your dad.

[Screaming]

It's almost gone.

♪♪

That should be good.

I can't believe my dad is the one doing this.

First Karen and now Judy.

I just...

Karen?

He killed her this past summer.

And then Waters took over her print shop a week later.

I saw something in his eyes.

My dad is not fully...

my dad.

His eyes have felt like that for a year.

The aurora, Jimmy...

Jimmy's murder broke my dad.

Waters already owned him.

Now he controls him.

Just like everyone else whose life he destroyed.

So, Waters did the first killing?

And is using my dad to punish his competition.

Making him kill in order to expand his empire.

We can still change it back.

Kill the killer. Remember?

Hold up. You saw the aurora.

It's gonna disappear tonight.

Once it's gone, there could be no stopping him.

I have to kill my own dad?

Correct.

Good.

Look, you can think of it as a dream, right?

You kill him, then you wake up.

And you get your life back.

Weirdo is right, kid.

You're an unexpected wrinkle.

Your dad did not plan on you.

You are his target now, Winnie.

If you don't kill him, he'll kill you.

And so many others in this town.

So...

what's our plan?

We lure him here.

All right.

Let's kill my not-dad dad.

Year after year, always nice, and we appreciate that.

Well, thank you. Merry Christmas.

But, my little brother, you've been naughty.

I know.

I found out last week that Sheriff Buck here

put in for a transfer.

[Crowd groans] Yeah, he did.

Now, why would you do that?

Get out of here!

I don't want to do this anymore, Henry.

It's okay. It's okay.

You don't have to. You don't have to.

I forgive you.

Winnie, they're all just watching.

We made it worse.

Henry: Oh, that's beautiful. Our angel.

Get out of here!

All of you!

Well, now...

what do we have here?

An outsider and a pariah.

[Chuckles]

Hi there, Weirdo.

How's your mom?

Your dad caught her with Henry Waters.

You ruined her life.

Oh!

Life?

[Laughs]

What life?

Bring them up. I want to talk to them.

Come on.

Get 'em up here. Let's have some fun.

Ruined her life?

It's a little annoying 'cause David was supposed

to take care of you.

It's another one for the naughty list, dear.

[Chuckles]

So, David was just like the rest of these people?

More of your drones?

Drones?

Well, that's an ugly thing to say in front

of all these fine people.

David needs me. Like they do.

The night I broke him, when I took his only son,

he saw my true power.

And he came to his senses, and so will you.

Very soon.

Well, I guess there's something you should know.

What's that?

We fucking killed him.

Did you really?

That's a shame.

This outsider's dangerous.

And she allies herself with our town's most pathetic.

You don't know Angel Falls.

What do you think?

You think you're gonna come up here

and liberate these people?

They desire to be ruled.

They need me.

The people in this town care about each other.

Oh.

And they know they don't need you.

[Scoffs]

You have no idea what you are --

Ah!

I've always fucking hated you!

Get your fuckin' hands off me.

This is cashmere. Get off me.
