[bunniefuu]

[LAURA LEE] O Lord, please accept
Coach Martinez into your glory.

And flight attendant Janet,
pilot Robert, pilot Fred...

[VAN] Yeah, we got a ration.

We're not gonna starve to death.

When the rescue team gets here...

- [VAN] If it gets here.
- Don't say that. They're coming.

[TRAVIS] Can you throw
that sh*t out already?

[JAVI] Dad gave it to me,
so my ears wouldn't pop.

[TRAVIS] Don't you understand?
Dad is f*cking dead!

- [NATALIE] You found Travis?
- [MISTY] Talk about somebody

who didn't want to be found.

- [NATALIE] What's that?
- [MISTY] It's his pay stub.

Looks like he's been working

at a place called Willow Brook Ranch.

- Oh, God.
- Travis didn't k*ll himself.

[MISTY] This is the last thing
Travis wrote before he d*ed.

Do you know what you're right about?

Sorry, I'm not allowed to give
up room information. I'm his wife.

He just hasn't texted
me the room number yet.

- Why are you here?
- I was just getting a drink.

But actually, I'm
starting to think maybe

something out there has other ideas.

- [SHOUTS]
- [TAISSA] What happened?

[SIMONE] Sammy punched him in the face.

[TAISSA] Whatever they say about me,

I hope you know it isn't true.

I know. You're not the bad one.

Is someone else the bad one?

[SOMBER, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Guys, there's a lake. It looks
about four or five miles away.

Look.

Guys, it's here.

I don't see anybody.

I just have a bad
feeling about this place.

Bad feeling?

I don't believe in that sh*t.

You've already got blood on your hands.

We're almost there.

It's been waiting for us.

[DARK, HAUNTING MUSIC]

[WHISPERING] Lottie.

It's okay.

He's gone. Remember?

We buried him.

I think bad things happened here.

["MOUNTAIN SONG" BY JANE'S ADDICTION]

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah?

[MISTY] Hey, Nat.

I just wanted to call and
see how you're holding up,

you know, since the whole Travis thing.

Down the mountain...

I would never want to presume to say

that I know exactly what
you're going through,

but-but I wanted to
make sure that you know

that this was not your fault.

Why the f*ck would
Travis' m*rder be my fault?

Uh, well, you know, the
coroner ruled it a su1c1de,

and do people usually write
notes before they're m*rder*d?

Or is that really more
of a su1c1de thing?

Think about it.

We both get the same
creepy postcard in the mail,

and then Travis just turns up dead?

You think that was a coincidence?

I don't know what he
thought I was right about,

I just know I'm right about this.

Travis didn't f*cking k*ll himself.

And I'm gonna find out who did.

Well, it sounds like
you're gonna need some help.

[CHUCKLES] Uh, first of all,

I know a guy who can probably
get us into Travis' email.

Uh, but before we fire that m*ssile,

I think we should get
together and strategize.

You know, pop a few pins
on the old corkboard.

I have one, obviously,

um, but we could use
yours if you prefer. I...

- Jell-O! - I'm working
a shift right now,

but what do you say we meet
at my house at hours?

I've got plans.

Oh. With who?

Don't worry about it.

Uh, tomorrow, then?

was on the plane with you.

Well, it was his place, and,
uh, he's been off the grid

for a while, and we
were worried about him.

Turns out we had a
right to be, because, um,

later that night, he k*lled himself.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah. It's pretty f*cked.

- Oh, yeah?

[CHUCKLES]

No f*cking way.

[BOTH LAUGH]

No way. Oh, my God.

Hm.

I was actually just looking for this.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Jesus, Nat.

Last time I saw you,

you were getting out of my car,

saying you'd call me tomorrow.

Yeah?

That was a million years ago.

You were my best friend,

then you just...

Oh, my God. You had to know I was, like,

totally in love with you, right?

Oh, f*ck.

Wait. Oh. I...

I'm sorry.

I can't, uh...

stop thinking about Travis.

So... [CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

It's not like we were
each other's sponsors, but

we...

tried to keep each other clean, and...

I just...

can't help but think
if I had done something,

that he might not have...

It's the not knowing
if he was loaded or...

Listen, I could, um...

I could make a couple
of calls, you know.

Maybe try and get a copy
of his toxicology report.

Ah, that would be amazing.

Oh. [LAUGHS]

Thank you.

Are you f*cking serious?

You brought us here?

- Looks that way.
- Why?

- Doesn't concern you.
- Jesus Christ.

I know that you're messed up right now,

but it doesn't give you a free
pass to be a d*ck all the time!

We're supposed to be a team.

[TRAVIS LAUGHS]

Yeah, right, a team, hm?

Do you even know why
people call me Flex?

Hm?

In seventh grade, I had surgery
on my back. Spinal fusion

or something, I-I-I
don't know. It sucked.

When I got back to school,

Bobby Farleigh, he saw my
scar in the locker room.

He told everybody that I had
to get one of my ribs removed,

so that I could be flexible
enough to, you know...

... suck my own d*ck.

Oh, my God. What are you doing?

Are you f*cking psycho?

[GRUNTING]

There's a ring, okay?

I didn't think about it
before when we, you know,

buried him, but it was
my great-grandfather's.

[TENSE MUSIC]

[COUGHING]

God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, I can't... f*ck.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

I can't.

- So don't.
- I can't do it.

Jesus, it's just a ring. Let it go.

I can't.

Yeah, you don't f*cking get it.
I have to bring something back.

I have to.

For Javi.

[SLOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

Which hand?

Um... Uh...

Right.

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

[BONES cr*ck]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[ZIPPER UNZIPS]

So...

can you suck your own d*ck?

- I wish.
- [BOTH LAUGHING]

He was such a sh*t dad.

He didn't even like me.

[NATALIE'S DAD] Are you a little slut?

Are you a little slut?

- Don't f*cking lie to me!
- Hey, what are you doing?

[GROANS]

You sleep all f*cking day, while she has

boys up in the g*dd*mn house, huh?

You? I'm the one who has to call
and straighten this sh*t out!

Me! I'm the only one
with any f*cking decency.

- [WHIMPERS]
- You f*cking...

[PANTING]

It doesn't matter how shitty they are.

It still fucks you up when they're gone.

[NATALIE] I'll call you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, thanks, um,

for just being here.

It was good to see you...

[CHUCKLES]

Thanks again for your help.

Bye.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SLOW, SOMBER MUSIC]

[FAUCET TURNS ON]

[WATER FLOWING]

So, just for the record,

I'd have done this even if I'd won.

- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Because you look a little scared.

Confidence.

[LAUGHS]

So, then, uh, stop stalling.

Unless you're...

chicken.

- [CHUCKLES]
- How about that?

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Are you good?

Let's do this.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Okay.

[SLOW, TRANQUIL MUSIC]

[PANTING] Here she is.

My little girl who cried

when she k*lled a f*cking turkey.

What're you gonna do, hm?

What're you gonna do, baby?

You gonna sh**t your daddy in the head?

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

Looks like you got the safety on.

Here, let me show you, okay, baby? Look.

On. Off.

See, sweetie? On. Off, baby girl.

Just like that. On, off.

Just breathe.

[PANTING] It's perfectly okay
to keep a g*n in the house,

if your kid's too stupid
to know how to use it.

Shut up!

I never thought you could be
more useless than your mother,

but, guess what, honey?

You just won that f*cking contest.

You're the f*cking useless one!

The f*ck did you say...

even now, right?

- [GASPS]
- [CLAPPING]

Oh, my God.

[LAUGHS]

- [VAN] Finally.
- Holy sh*t.

[MISTY] Whoa.

They did it.

- Wow. Okay.
- [BEN] Nice work, you two.

It was all Natalie.

So, what do we do with it now?

Well, first thing we got
to do is bleed it out.

Who wants to try?

I'll give it a try.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

Just right across the throat.

[FAST, DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MOANING]

Hey.

I, uh, I kind of forgot that I had this.

Want to hold on to it?

[GRUNTING]

Oh!

Are you okay?

Whoa. Hey...

you need to be more careful.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello?

Hi. Shauna.

Oh, it's been so long.

It's Misty.

I thought I told you never to call me.

Even if something
really big has happened?

Something that I know

you'd want to know about, but,
for some reason, no one else

has bothered to tell you.

I-I really don't have
time for this, Misty.

Can you just f*cking get it out?

Travis is dead.

Hello?

Shauna?
