Everwinter Night (2023)

[bunniefuu]

I think I know where we are.

It certainly does sound that way.

What does that mean?

This, this! That is the sound of a woman

that knows exactly where she's going.

I know what way we're going, okay?

We took 3-A up until that right

off of d*ck Brown, and then we took...

We are still on d*ck Brown.

No, no, no.

We took a right on East Clementine,

but it's still technically

d*ck Brown until...

Would you please just

pick a direction for the map?

Keep it there, and don't move.

Thank you.

Wow.

What a grump.

I'm sorry, okay?

It's just been driving for

hours in this friggin' snow.

And all I wanted to is

just kick back by the fire

and put my feet up preferably

on the corpse of d*ck Brown,

and whoever made that map.

Hey.

Sugar bear.

Baby.

Look at me.

I'm still driving.

This is gonna be fun.

I can't wait to just be away

from the rest of the world

with just you.

Me too, Buttercup.

Me too.

Wait, is that it?

No. No, it can't be.

We got at least another hour.

You know what?

f*ck it, maybe we can pull

in and ask for directions.

We are not lost!

No, maybe we just pull

into that lodge up there

and I can brag to whoever's inside

about what a good navigator you are, huh?

Well, this is pretty rad, huh?

We paid for the time share already.

We are going to make it to the time...

Hey, hey, hey.

As long as we are

sharing our time together.

That's all I care about, Buttercup.

Is any of this working?

You're lucky I have to pee.

Shouldn't we have knocked?

Knock?

Look at this place, it's

welcoming, it's friendly.

They got a fire going for

us, they got a coat rack.

We can hang up our coats.

Hello?

Videotapes I

bet they have a bathroom!

Hello?

Why don't you ring the bell?

Why would you tell me to ring the bell?

What, do you think the

bell summons baby tears?

Hey.

- Hey! - Hey!

Sorry about the wait,

there's a little one back here

that's just fussing up a...

Son of a g*n.

Well, I guess I'm the g*n.

Coming Jackie.

I mean, I can just hold it.

It's gonna be fine.

I'll cross my legs, I'll find a bush.

Buttercup, it's okay.

You just go to the

restroom, I'll get directions.

You mean you'll confirm

our already correct directions.

I'll confirm our already one

hundred percent correct directions...

Sorry about that folks.

Little, Jackie boy just

doesn't take the bottle

when his mama's not around, you know.

Only the real thing will do.

He's not the only one, right?

Yeah, right. Uh

Listen, uh

I unfortunately can't put

you up tonight. We're full up.

Oh, that's so okay.

We were actually just

hoping to use the restroom

if you don't mind.

I can't.

I promise I'll be in and out.

Please, please, please

All right.

Uh

Down the hall, first door on the left.

- Oh my God, thank you, thank you.

We really appreciate that, sir.

Thank you.

Now

One working man to

another.

When you say that you're full up

Do you mean that you're full up or...

We are full up.

Alecto rise!

Alecto rise.

Alecto rise.

Aid us your power. Feed Us.

Okay, what if

I double the rate?

That is seventy eight...

Sir, we have no vacancy.

Bear?!

You two ought to head out. It

It's not a good time.

All right.

Thank you, we'll be out of your hair.

Sir, don't, you can't go back there.

I'll grab her, we'll be right

out of here.

You can't go back there, sir.

Hey, I'm serious. You... Jack!

Alecto rise!

Alecto rise.

Buttercup, we gotta go.

Buttercup?

Alecto rise.

Feed us!

Buttercup?

What's wrong?

My Dizzy!

How are you? - Oh, I'm dead.

I can feel it.

Squishy zombie bones.

Careful of my zom-boner.

Ew. What is wrong with you.

Okay.

On a scale of one to ten, how mad are you?

I d*ed of boredom.

Numbers mean nothing to me now.

Looking to leave so soon?

No, I just can't stand the sight of you.

You all locked and loaded.

That laugh is gonna haunt my dreams.

Have you heard yours?

You think they use her laugh for like

t*rture methods at POW camps?

Shh.

Can you not hate fun?

You're here now.

Can we go?

Can we actually hang out for just a second?

Okay, but like This weird

old lady runs the place

and I don't think she's

gonna be too thrilled

about a late check-in.

Yeah, we can handle that.

She goes to bed at like five p.m.

Well, then we're definitely over time.

I just don't wanna make her mad.

Oh, come on, V.

Wet blanket, dizzy bones, Isabella, chill.

How do you look so

effortlessly put together?

Um, this isn't effortless.

You know what I mean.

I don't know what you mean.

That coat would wear me.

Okay, V, actually, can we talk about

the weekend for a second?

Are we not doing that right now?

Oh my God!

Oh, the Kappa Girls are back!

Becca, Fiona.

So beautiful.

This is V.

Hi!

Oh my God!

Hi, V.

Oh, she's so pretty.

You are, you're gorgeous. Wow!

This is your friend from childhood

who I remember hearing all about

Ooh, ooh!

We have news.

Okay, okay. Let me tell them.

Okay, so we were like over there

being like frumpy little b*tches, okay?

Just like, no guys around.

- We met these guys...

Shh.

And then these hot, rich guys.

These hot, rich guys.

And they're so nice.

They're not jerks.

And they're so hot.

Okay, they're renting a place

at the base of Shukrah Mountain.

It's like a super nice place.

They started talking to us.

They were chatting us up...

Oh my God!

Address, they

They sent an address.

We gotta get our sh*t together. Stat!

Okay, we'll be right back.

We're just gotta grab our

stuff. We'll be right back!

Okay, listen, I made plans with them

before I made plans with you.

And I totally forgot.

That's why I was so adamant

about getting the bigger place

and I was going to tell you

but I couldn't find the right thing to say

because I know that's not

what you were expecting.

But hey, the point is, it's us.

It's just, you know. A couple, uh

They're gonna be there

but I see them all the time.

It's you and me.

The Dizzy-Trunks

Adventure.

Through and through.

Okay, all right.

Alright... New plan.

So instead of doing the

bullshit girls-spa-weekend

we are gonna be pampered by...

We are going to get pampered

Slash comped.

Slash f*cked!

- And so they're renting a

place... - We have a reservation.

Then we'll f*cking cancel the reservation.

I'm so sorry.

I know I just met you

but are we seriously

considering saying no to this?

They're gonna pay for everything.

It's gonna be great.

They're paying for the food,

they're paying for the drinks

whatever else rich people pay for.

We paid for a reservation.

Well, yeah, but it was on my card.

It's gonna be perfect.

It's gorgeous.

Yeah, and if it is sketchy

or it sucks, then we'll bail.

Exactly!

And we can always fall back

on... -Why would we bail though?

Ladies, ladies, ladies.

Pardon the interruption.

I just realized that we've

only had the pleasure

of meeting half the factions so far.

So, I just figured we'd pop

over and remedy that real quick.

I'm Tony.

This here is Ford.

Sup?

Well, I don't want Ford here to

Chat your ear off all evening.

So, I'm just gonna make up

for splitting up the pack

these last few minutes

by taking that tab of yours there

and putting it on the house.

As it were.

Maybe we'll see you all later.

Okay, maybe.

Bye.

How much do they think coffee costs?

Look, look, look!

Oh my God.

Wow.

That car cost more

than my parents' house.

That car costs more than my life.

Oh, I should have gone with him.

We... I ain't messing around.

Let's go.

Okay, I think I'm in love.

I seriously, I think that I'm in love.

On a scale of one to ten.

How much do you hate me?

At least eight, but I'll move them.

All right, just soon, please?

So you came here all by your lonesome?

Back visiting my parents

for the holiday weekend

and I almost made it one whole night.

Wow.

Yeah, this is like a new record.

Hey, uh, it's Priscilla, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, what are the keys to your Mazda?

Uh

The ones with the Long Island U lanyard.

Look, I just really gotta get out of here.

I'm clearing your path right away, miss.

One more year.

Oh, hi.

Seriously?

No, I

Baby, I wouldn't.

Wait.

Did I invite you ladies?

Oh! What's up?

Hey.

Y'all made it.

Yeah.

Yo, Dom.

These are my mighty fine diner girls.

Oh! So you all like

Work the same shift?

No, no, no...

Forget him.

Come on.

Get up in here, put your bags down

and have your pretty selves and drink.

You gonna have a drink?

My boy Jack's gonna set us up.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you f*cking serious right now?

Well, I mean, were we serious?

Yo, Jackie-Boy!

Let's get my friends here set up

with some champagne, will ya?

Coming right up.

So, guys, tonight we will be pouring a...

Ah, gracie, gracie, gracie.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

Ah, now.

You'll be able to taste it.

Ooh. Thank you.

Whoop.

But just in case you wanna put a number

on how good them taste buds are gonna feel.

That's twelve-hundo a bottle right there.

Holy sh*t.

Well, that's the holiest sh*t

you ever put in your mouth.

Ahh. Yeah.

Pardon me, won't you?

Oh my God, he's so sexy.

Oh my God.

And you're so subtle about it.

So, we're just gonna do this?

Yeah Yeah.

You guys aren't even a little bit worried

these men did something to our drinks.

Oh, like water it down?

No, no, no, that would dilute it.

It's a $1,200 bottle of champagne.

No, no, no

Queen V is right.

She obviously needs the royal taster.

All right.

Ah. Your grace.

- Good evening. - Oh!

I Hope I'm not interrupting,

but I just wanted to thank

you ladies for joining us.

Sure

Thanks for uh

Thanks for having us.

Anthony informs me you

Trekked all the way up the mountain

for our little celebration.

Oh yeah -Yeah

We trekked.

What are you celebrating?

I suppose I don't have

an elegant answer for that.

Tradition?

Perhaps making time to

spend with one another.

So if this is your

tradition, we don't wanna...

Oh, no, no, no. Everybody's

welcome to stay.

I apologize, I meant no offense.

I only wish to offer that if

you needed accommodations.

We are more than happy to have you.

Yes.

And this offer extends

to you all, of course.

Very kind of you.

I'm Eric.

Eric. Madison.

Madison.

Mmhmm.

I agree.

Madison.

Wait, Trunks...

Sorry, she's so pushy.

Oh, oh. We'll switch tomorrow night.

I promise! -Bye

Promise!

Tomorrow night?

Let's go find your room.

Yeah. Let's do that, huh?

See if we can't

lose a few of them layers.

Oh, sh*t!

You f*ckin' seeing this?

Oh my God.

Woo!

Oh!

Yeah!

Are you not f*cking entertained?

You know.

A real badass would do it with two g*ns.

So it's gonna be like that.

Oh, it's gonna be like that.

f*ck it.

I can't find another.

Oh, I'll do it f*cking dizzy.

Yeah!

Oh, maybe don't use the bat.

That's the real sh*t right there.

Hey, why don't you do

the real sh*t out there

in the living room, where

you have more room to

You know, spin.

This guy.

This guy f*cking gets it.

Yeehaw!

Woo!

Yeah, let's give this fine-ass

fuckle-berry some room to gallop!

Yeehaw!

Like, who does that?

No, I know.

It's like...

Am I wrong?

No, you're right, I mean...

Because like it's

It's weird.

It's like...

No, no, you're not wrong.

Wait.

Who are we talking about?

We've always

been really close, you know?

Its just...

Friends are difficult.

Yeah, they are, you know, because

I mean, it's not like she

can just be in the moment.

We're all out here trying to...

Well, she's correct.

Yeah, wait.

What?

Now, from what you say, there she is.

Yearning for nothing more

than your companionship,

and yet, here you sit.

And yet.

And yet.

Hmm.

You're mad I'm sitting

on your piano, aren't you?

It is not my piano.

I care not that you sit...

So this is fine?

I

It is rather old, and...

I don't feel great that

you're sitting on the piano.

Here we go.

Sorry, I had this terrible girl...

Anything else? - You're sorry?

Damn right, you're f*cking sorry.

I don't even know if I

wanna drink this now.

He's cute.

Nice talking to you.

It was not nice talking to them.

You need to be cut off.

What?

'Cause those two were assholes?

No, they are unrelated, but both are true.

Do you have the power to put me off?

I am not sure, but I

still think you should...

Buy you a drink?

Are

Are the drinks not free?

The drinks are indeed free.

Right.

No, I'm getting her a drink.

You're making me a drink?

Oh, am I done?

Would you like to...

I can make a drink,

whatever the lady wants.

Oh, an upside down frisky tango.

Ooh, that's a good one.

A Carolina frog bath.

Frog, what?

That's a little unoriginal,

but I'll go with it.

I'll make, take, steal, get, pillage

Whatever you want, girl.

Oh, I should go save.

No, please.

You are my guest.

Just tell me what it is you fancy

and your wish is my...

How goes the evening?

Everything going to your

liking, Victoria was it?

Yeah.

It's great.

I was just...

Fantastic!

Raymond, would you mind terribly

if I stole this one for just a moment?

Of course, Erik.

I really appreciate that, Ray.

Truly.

Would you like anything, Erik?

Oh, would I like

Anything.

You know, Jack, what I would like

is if we could have this one left alone

until at least tomorrow morning.

You think you could do that?

Hmm, I think I could do that.

Do you believe him?

We shall see.

We shall see.

And so we shall.

Fare thee well.

Fare ye well as

well.

Smooth.

Very smooth.

Open up, baby.

You're so good to me.

That's all I want to do

is make you feel good.

Girl, you know I want to make

you feel good too, though, right?

Oh, do you?

Three at a time.

What are we watching here?

They're obsessed.

They're doing that thing where they whisper

in each other's faces really fast

and you can't tell whether

they're going to fight or f*ck.

Yeah, they have like a whole

aggressive thing going on.

Right, like, why be so close?

It's f*cking disgusting.

Do it, do it, do it.

You know what? all the guys

in here are seriously awful.

Awful. Like I mean...

What is this?

I'm a sick puffer fish.

Oh.

Cute.

Like, I was saying, I was

having this whole conversation

with this stockbroker guy

and he was like on the phone

the whole time that he was

having a conversation with me

and I'm like, seriously,

like, what the f*ck, dude?

How can you minimize me like that?

Am I right?

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

And then I'm, like, trying to pretend

That I care about classification,

diversification, or some sort of sh*t

and then he's like, can't

even pick up my drink.

And I'm like

suck my d*ck, Stuart.

You're a f*cking tool.

- Sorry, but do we

do we know you?

No, but aren't I like a human being?

No

We spoke last night,

I don't know if you...

Okay, what am I, like a f*cking monster?

Can't you just like

sympathize with my sh*t?

Good morning.

I just wanted to make sure

all of your accommodations

were to your liking.

They were.

I like the old rusticness to everything.

Old rusticness, Madison?

I think that the

accommodations here are terrible

if I'm really being honest.

Yes, I do believe I overheard

your sentiments from the other side

of the room.

Perhaps though we could

tempt you with a little retreat

of relaxation we have

planned later this afternoon.

You see, every year we trek

down to the base of the mountain

to Basque in the Hvergelmir.

It's a hot spring.

But we do not pressure.

If you would like to stay

on site with the amenities,

we're more than happy to have you here,

but we would love if you would attend.

That doesn't sound terrible,

but honestly I can't un-feel

the way I'm feeling right now, so.

But I do like swimming.

Splendid, well

I await your decisions.

Dizzy.

Trunks.

Can I help you?

You look busy.

You are very observant.

Aren't you supposed to be at the...

The virglet?

Whatever the thing they call that is?

Kind of like bothering you more.

So this is an annual thing?

Stacking wood?

I more meant the frat-dude

bros.

Well, they've been doing

that longer than I've been here.

Seems lonely up here.

Well, except when you're

being interrupted at work.

It's a family business.

Family?

Ew.

I'm gonna tell your sister you said that.

My sister?

Yeah, isn't your sister's

name Trunks or whatever?

She's not my sister.

You're not sister's name is Trunks.

It's a friend thing?

You wouldn't understand.

Oof.

Ouch.

Okay.

Well, stacking wood is officially

more fun than talking to you.

You're such a grumpy ass.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

You're just white noise now.

Ow.

Hot is a bit of a stretch.

They were like tepid springs at best.

Why does it even matter?

You didn't even go in the spring.

Okay, you know what?

It is frickin' cold.

Period.

And also I dipped my big toe in.

Yes, I did.

Oh, wow.

You're about as f*ckin' adventurous as V.

Bravo.

Come on.

No, we're kidding. She's fine.

Yeah, I mean, she's not adventurous.

She doesn't go anywhere.

She doesn't do anything, but she's great.

Hey! New pants, guys.

Come on.

Madison!

Would you two mind terribly if

I stole this one for a moment?

What if I mind?

Do you mind?

She's does not.

Why, you're trembling.

Yeah, it's cold.

For some.

Thank you.

It's really beautiful here.

Yes, it truly is.

I uh

I wanted to gauge your interest on perhaps

spending another evening

here on our fine mountain.

I could be persuaded.

Well, we throw an event each year.

Nothing too grand.

And of course, your friends are

more than welcome to join us.

Oh, yeah, but you just

had to ask me, though.

I suppose that is correct.

Looks like you were trying to get me alone.

Well, we both know that's not true.

We do?

Come now.

Two redheads

together?

Yeah.

Gross.

Quite gross.

- So gross.

You keep doing that, and you're

going to look like a little raccoon.

I take it we're staying here tonight?

I did book the room switch.

At least

One to ten?

Hard ten.

That's what I'm getting tonight.

Guys, why am I so nervous?

Look, my hand is trembling.

Ew, it's like warm salami.

That's what I'm getting tonight.

Ew.

Welcome!

To the Hall of Yule.

The irony of this masquerade

is that in actuality, this is a time

of truth.

For though we gather in

anonymity, we all share the need

for connection.

So, to old friends

bonds reborn

and to new companions.

It is you who are truly essential.

For, without you none of this

would be possible.

Now

we drink!

For the wind blows cold!

We drink. For the wolf runs free!

We drink for the ships

with sails like wings!

For Alecto's sons

are we.

Alecto rise!

Be merry.

Mm-mm-mm.

Light of my life.

Would you kick it with me?

I do declare, Mr. Beauregarde.

That ain't my name, though.

I may have to tear your

clothes off on the dance floor.

I'm gonna grind on you so hard that

it's gonna wear a hole in your pants.

Yeah, you are.

Good evening.

I don't expect anything, however

Would you honor me?

Of course I wouldn't

want to separate friends.

I'll sit this one out.

Save me dance?

Promise.

As you wish.

Hey.

Must have missed you the first round.

Maybe we could go

around on this dance floor?

Weak, dude.

Weak.

Hey.

Boo!

At least pretend.

Oh... Oh, God.

Oh, no, you've got me.

Oh, my heart.

It cannot take the shock

of what you have just done.

Is that good?

Was that better?

You know, why do you always

come by when I'm working?

Why are you always working when I'm bored.

Are the festivities not up to your liking

Miss Dizzy?

What did you just call me?

Ooh, looks like I found out

all the secrets around here.

You don't get to call me that.

And I've struck a nerve.

Quiet, sandwich wench.

Wait, so you're Dizzy then?

I'm not Dizzy.

I get Dizzy.

If I'm like nervous or

overwhelmed or whatever.

Plus, with my last

name, it just kind of fits.

I'm sure you're pumped

to have doven into that.

And trunks?

She used to wear boy trunks

when we went swimming.

She thought she had weird legs.

Well, does she?

Have weird legs?

I'm not exactly sure what

constitutes weird versus not weird legs.

Your buddy Erik doesn't

seem to mind them though.

Erik?

Are you sure you're

talking about the right guy?

Tall guy with the voice and

terrifying blue eyes?

Oh, no, yeah. That's definitely him.

Well, he's been mercilessly

hitting on Maddy since we got here.

Somebody sounds a little jealous.

Just get me a drink already.

Nothing fancy.

I'm sick of fancy.

You know

That doesn't sound like Erik though.

I've been around for

like ten of these things.

And all he ever does is this whole

speechifying thing,

or he's smoking a cigarette and

staring longingly at the mountain.

Like a creep.

Yeah, well, I don't know about that.

You're not the most observant, huh?

Hey, I am just the help, okay?

Is Maddy having a good time though?

Hey, can I borrow one of your knives?

In case I gotta kubotan that

blue eyed shitbird on the dance floor.

Kubotan is not a verb.

Yeah, so you were right. There

were actually a few bottles back there.

I've never even seen

them before. They were...

Old?

Yeah, yeah.

Um, dusty.

Is how I would describe them.

Are you meeting somebody here?

I can leave this inside if...

I was actually hoping to

share this drink with you.

Oh, really? Why?

Your family's been very kind to me, Jack.

And soon you'll be taking over this place.

I thought we may want to

get to know one another better.

Oh, well.

I don't think I'll actually

be running the place.

Well, you're practically

running it now, are you not?

Well, my dad will be

back next year again...

But your dad's not here now, so...

Shall we drink?

Sure

Yeah, sure. Why not?

What is it that we're drinking again?

We are drinking mead.

And beautifully aged, if I may say.

Mmm. Yes, looks it.

According to legend

Mead was originated when two warring

factions of gods signed a treaty of peace.

And spit in a bowl to seal that bond.

And in this bull was born

Kvasir, the wisest of all men.

Whoa. Wait, what did he do?

k*lled by dwarves, actually.

Oh, sh*t.

Hmm.

Stole his blood, too.

Oh, okay.

Umm

Yeah, so to

To not being k*lled by dwarves.

Wise man.

Ow.

f*ck.

f*ck

Indeed.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah. Thank you very much, Erik.

This

I appreciate that.

A man will be approaching soon.

I want you to do something for me.

He'll be delivering a package.

And when he does, you will give him this.

At whatever price he quotes.

Tip him, handsomely.

Whatever remains

you will keep for yourself.

But this

means something between us has begun.

Be ready, Jack.

Okay. Thank you.

This is a lot of money.

Mmm.

Uh!

- Oh, she's f*cked.

I don't know.

Everything seems to be in working order.

Really?

Anthony must have been mistaken.

Well, no worries at all.

These pipes do tend to

bark every now and again.

Winter will do that to

everything around here.

Still, I'm sorry to have had

you travel all this way, Harold.

Stop.

All this way.

I'm just up the road.

Leg still bothering you, I see.

Yeah, well, winter will do that to you too.

Just need to stretch it out, that's all.

A lot of miles on those bones.

Cold or no.

Mm. Some of us take to the

years a little differently, I guess.

Oh.

Morning, Harry.

You hanging in there?

Trying to, Charlie.

Yourself?

Ugh. I gotta rally.

Hmm.

Mmm. But first a nap.

Then a power dump.

Then I'll rally.

I see you still hit it pretty hard, huh?

Some att*ck the festivities

more aggressively than others.

Yeah. Well

if you need anything

else, just let me know...

Jack is

really growing into his role.

Jack?

Nah, he's never had a

knack for this sort of stuff.

You think not?

I know my boy.

If there's any place he'd

rather be, it's anywhere but here.

You'll see. You'll be looking at my

old mug the same as always next...

It's time,

Harold.

He's just a kid.

He's not ready.

I'll leave it to your

discretion how he hears it.

You've done fine work, my friend.

Your day of rest will

have been well earned.

Come on, let's go!

Ugh. Leave her. She's f*cking dead.

Oh my god. It's so bright in here.

Yeah, mornings will do that.

Do we know what Wives Day is?

Hey, Dizzy.

Bellinis!

Bellinis!

Oh my god, I'm never

f*cking drinking again.

I might get some tea, some coffee.

Oh, it's Tony.

I might stay a little bit longer.

Wait till he's done.

Fi, I'm so sorry. He's...

It's not true.

It's not true.

What's not true?

Love, V!

Our love isn't true!

I thought our love was true.

Come here. Come here. Come here.

Come on. We gotta go after her.

Do we though?

- Come on. - Coffee first.

Fiona!

Let's just talk about it!

Words are an illusion!

Excuse

me, I was hoping I could...

Hope is dead.

Hope is dead!

Okay. Thank you.

Hi. You probably don't know

this, but can I park over there?

Sorry, I am so not the person to ask.

Oh, I'm always so worried I'm gonna

do something wrong at this place.

I know how you feel here.

Right? I know.

I'm Heather, by the way.

Hi. I'm Maddy.

Hi. So are you, like, one of the...

Oh, no. I'm just up here with friends.

Oh, fun. Well, it's nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Yeah, you too.

Every time, it's the same sh*t.

Come on. This

is only my first drink today.

It's f*cking eleven a.m.

You were up until five a.m.

drinking and getting trashed.

Now you're drinking again, six hours later.

Oh, so now it's my fault how math works?

Hi.

It's good.

Sugar's good.

I swear to God.

If you leave me alone

with these idiots again,

I'm going to strangle you to death...

Cailyn!

Hello, hello.

Tony! So good to see you.

Likewise.

Hey, Charles, I'm going to

need you to make a run up north

this morning for a couple choice items.

Clark's running late, and I

need this sh*t off my mental palate.

We're supposed to go skiing.

Before they shut down the lifts.

Well, that's the

beautiful thing about snow,

it'll always be waiting for you next year.

They're all like this, you know.

They're like what?

The hierarchies, the duplicity,

the social masks they wear.

I'll get that list going, Chuck.

Great.

You think we would evolve past this by now.

I'm going to

add a funnel to the list.

That one we've been using for

the last few years has been caking up

But

They don't skimp on the chow.

And the sights

are always exquisite.

That is a lovely fabric there.

Is that a chartreuse?

Must be cozy.

Are you seriously going to

let him talk to me like that?

He has seniority. I can't

do anything about it...

You can't do sh*t, Charlie.

Just go run your f*cking errands.

Merry Wives Day, Cailyn.

You are looking absolutely ravishing.

Hmm.

So, is this your first

swim in these waters?

I well

a baby threw up on me on a plane once,

so they let me sit in first

class for the last half of the...

You know, it's not just

all about the wealth.

Have you ever heard of the Ka-Rura?

Maybe you can show me

some of the finer points?

For that, you'd have to ask him.

Hi, baby.

Oh.

Oh, bankrolls, my favorite.

I thought we

were in love, you know.

It was over there some...

floozy.

It's his wife.

Some heartlet...

gypsy bitch

Oh, dear.

We made love last night.

It was passionate.

Maybe not the time.

Rugged.

You know, but...

so... so passionate.

And it doesn't matter

how quick it is, you know,

because it's about connection, and

there was real, real, real connection.

Okay.

Let me let you in on a little secret.

Okay.

They're all very...

very disappointing.

You know, I got writing again.

It inspired me.

I wrote a poem last night.

Oh.

I was just watching him...

sleeping next to me, under the moonlight.

Do you want to read it?

Straight from my heart.

Sure.

It's the best thing I've ever written.

First page.

Can I offer you a suggestion?

You don't like it?

I think you should read this.

Out loud, right here in front of everyone.

Yeah.

Tell them how you really feel.

Bare your soul.

You just might be surprised

where his loyalties truly lie.

All I'm saying is...

I mean, just hear me out.

One, two, three.

The devil and me.

Wrong tree, honey.

Look, I love the harpy.

They are the bringers of

life, the nurturers of life.

Which is why today is so

special to everyone here, but...

I don't think you understand

what she's trying to say.

Well, I'm flattered.

But...

He only partakes in my pork.

Ew!

I'm a vegetarian.

However...

Dominic here...

Don't call me that.

Dom...

partakes in many and any of

the fruits in this beautiful world.

It's so true.

So is this like the single section

or the smoking section of this thing?

I suppose it could be construed as both.

I do apologize.

I only brought the one chair.

No, don't apologize.

I just came over.

Obviously, you shouldn't

be standing. I insist...

No, hey, we can share if you...

I think it's more just in

terms of space in regards to...

Um...

Uh, okay.

Seems like this works.

Yeah.

What is this your device?

Oh, it's an e-cigarette.

They're synthetic.

It's supposed to be like, um

healthier versions of

the real thing, kind of.

Smoke smells of berries.

May I see?

Yeah.

So are you just not like a marriage guy or

I have respect for the notion.

Spending one's time with another, but

the theatrics and pomp

of it all I can live without.

Yourself?

I can give or take pomp, I guess.

I don't know.

It's just binding yourself

to someone for that long.

It can get...

Like, we all change eventually, right?

So wouldn't we grow out

of everything eventually?

I imagine it depends on

the strength of the bond.

Hmm.

You say this has healing properties.

No.

Like, they're supposed to be healthier

but they're still not, like, great for you.

I do not know how much

any of us truly change, but

for those that do change us,

they should be taken in their purest form.

I'm sure a sweeter, more

saccharine version is safer, but

For those we truly care about

anything worth getting close

deserves to be experienced as it is.

As it is.

The good with the bad.

Hmm.

Bad is only a matter of opinion.

Oh, it's so good.

Tony took us there

for our last anniversary,

and it's so nice.

Oh, that's so sweet...

You know, the service is, like

but the food is so good.

Sounds it.

Here we are, ladies.

Thank you, Jackie Boy.

Ah, it looks like we got one more here.

Didn't know if you want

to wet your beak, Pris.

Hey.

What are you making?

Well, we have bellinis or bellinis.

Which would you prefer?

Um, how about a Bellini?

Hmm.

Good choice.

Ooh, pretty.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

They're not great.

So, do you have any...

That shirt looks very cute on you.

I told you it would fit.

Why, thank you.

I'm digging it.

Doesn't he look great?

Yeah, certainly.

All of you always look so good every year.

Fish oil.

But the trick

is to take one of those little capsules

pop it in your mouth, and

squeeze it until the oil

Just

Just swallow the oil.

It's so f*cking disgusting.

But the results, right?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Oh my God.

Um, everybody, I have something to say.

This is from my heart,

and I think I deserve to be listened to.

It's for...

I'm nervous.

When you looked at me

my world turned blue.

Twisted around, there was nothing but you.

You held me like a koala

mama bear holding her cub.

And when your legs weaved in between mine,

I knew it was love.

Your eyes were closed,

but your heart was open.

And you slept under the moonlight.

Couldn't stop thinking about

the way your hands were groping.

Very tight.

What the f*ck?

I love you, Tony.

What the f*ck did you just say?

And I know we have some obstacles.

But, that's okay, I don't care.

Tony, what is she...

I'm handling it, Evelyn.

She called me a f*cking obstacle.

I'm handling it, Evelyn!

I can't even!

Tony, what is she...

Going outside now.

Yup,

gonna get you some fresh air.

f*ck it.

I didn't write you sh*t, though, you know.

But

What?

I would love to be your editor, baby.

Yes, yes!

Are you out of your f*cking mind?

You are married to me!

Don't touch me, do not touch me.

Tony!

Tony! Tony, you are married to me!

She said yes, everybody.

We're engaged!

We're engaged!

Oh my God, Sugar Bear!

Buttercup!

Sorry, I'm late.

Traffic in Worcester was friggin' brutal.

We need to leave, baby.

Leave? What do you mean?

We just got here.

They took her.

They took who?

Eve, Tony's... he proposed to some woman...

Eve?

And then she started screaming,

and they ripped her away.

Am I supposed to be surprised that Eve got

ripped away from bottomless bellinis?

She wasn't drunk.

They grabbed...

Come on, Buttercup, come on.

Let's go up to the room. We

can talk about it there, okay?

You can go there if you

want to, but I am leaving,

and I am never coming

back to one of these things.

Come on.

Please.

Just do this for me.

And tell you what, next vacation

I'll take you wherever you want to go.

Cape Cod,

Scarlet Cay...

I need you to believe me.

It's not that I don't believe you.

It's I just have other... -

Well, do you believe me?

Yeah.

Yeah, I...

Then come with me.

I am so scared right now.

And I just want to go home...

You Don't...

And I want you to be there with me.

You don't understand.

I need to be here.

And I need you.

It's just once a year.

You said you believed me.

Buttercup

Hey, Buttercup!

Don't f*cking call me that.

What do you do for life?

Travel. You know,

whatever I desire really.

Just you?

Yes, just me.

Maddy!

Maddy! Maddy!

See y'all next year!

Maddy, it's happening!

It's happening, it's all happening!

What's happening?

f*ck me.

I know!

He's taking me to the Pocanos

for our honeymoon!

Oh, no, not necessarily.

We've got to talk about that.

So, you're leaving?

You know what tomorrow we...

Yeah, man, don't worry about it.

I'll catch you next year.

I love you!

Hey, any chance you know

where the Pocanos are?

Northern Pennsylvania...

Why would you do this?

It's alright, Erik.

Thank you, thank you! - Alright, alrighty.

Come on Darling.

Thank you for the magic of this place!

Enjoy the rest of your time.

Honey, pick me up!

Pick me up!

How am I supposed to to that?

Love you!

Maddy?

Is everything alright?

Can we talk?

There's nothing

more to say about it, darling.

So Tony asked me specifically to do this?

Someone specifically, not him, yes.

Think of this as a step up.

My little Larson's moving up in the world.

Oh my gosh, congratulations!

Why don't we skedaddle and leave

my hubby here to his honored duties?

Oh, okay.

His honored bitch work, you mean?

It's only bitch work if

you're a bitch about it.

I'm so excited for you!

Oh, I'm excited for

what I'm gonna do to you.

Oooh

Scofield!

Do I got a job for you, buddy?

How would you

rate your people skills?

Uh six?

I'm done.

I'm so f*cking done.

Why? Because of Fiona and

that guy?

Because of everything.

These people, this place.

What the place do?

How are you not seeing this?

Because I know Fiona.

Listen, I love the girl, but

she's a living, breathing soap.

I mean, Jesus f*cking Christ, that girl.

But you wouldn't be saying

that if you were there.

I think I wouldn't be

saying that because I'm

not actively trying to

leave every five seconds.

Yes!

I want to leave!

I didn't even want to come here and now

I am sick of feeling like the crazy one for

actually trying to spend

this vacation with you.

I don't know what to do with my hands.

You're right.

I don't need you to tell me that I'm right.

I'm f*cking right.

I know.

Listen, this was kind of my idea and

this hasn't been fair.

Fair?

I had to fight to even be

in the same room as you.

This was supposed to be you and

me and it's just been you and them.

And

I don't know, me a little.

Kind of.

What does closing the door mean?

Tonight, it is just us.

Me, you, whatever you want to do.

Everything else out there doesn't exist.

You stay in here?

I mean, well, I will need dinner.

But if I left to get food first

it kind of would've lessened the effect.

I didn't expect you to

agree with me so quickly

but yeah, that'd be cool.

I still feel like...

Crazy?

That,

I can't help you with.

Let me know when sane

Dizzy comes back. Hmm?

Oh yeah, the

first wife's always a bitch.

I didn't hit my stride until

like the sixth or seventh.

Yep.

Cailyn's been fun, though.

As you get older, you'll find out, Clarkey.

Take a walk,

Charles.

Oh... Uh

Yeah.

Thank you.

Mmm-Hmm.

They still tease you, I see.

No. It's, uh

I was just gonna head to

my room...

No, please continue.

Well, I

I know I've been putting

this off for a while.

And I understand what I need to... - May I?

Yeah.

Please, yes.

Yeah.

But you still care for her?

I, uh I do.

Yeah.

Hmm.

I just... I'm

I'm not ready.

Never apologize for what you love.

To anyone.

This is why we are here.

He thinks he

can talk to me like that.

Why don't we just go to bed?

We have to be out of here by

10 A.M. so I can make it to my...

f*cking coddles him. Like,

'cause he's the new kid.

No, no one around here

would ever do anything like that.

It's not the...

You know, I've put in my

time since The Eighteen...

f*ck.

The what?

Forget it.

Let's just go to bed, okay?

I'll, uh, meet you up there.

- Oh, fine. I'll start myself.

Motherf...

Really?

Are you too poor to pay the tax?

Well, we can't all be

fabulous in the big city.

Meow!

Getting kind of personal.

I guess that's why you chose the cat

as the sigil of your capitalistic empire.

Hmm, I know. After all

you're the p*ssy.

Aw, V, you have such a way with words.

Better than the f*cking shoe.

Oh, yeah, you're totally right.

That should have been you,

'cause you're always running away.

Oh, Trunksy. You're literally

stabbing me in the heart.

Definitely not, literally.

But I got a couple tricksies up my sleeve.

Five big ones in my offshore account.

Oh, my God. How can I forget about

the clearly not-cheating Dizzy fund?

Game on, bitch!

For, like, another roll or two.

This is nice, right?

We're having fun, right?

Right. The awareness

of the fun environment is

kind of eating away at its charm.

Son of a f*ck!

Does anyone actually like this game?

Erik, perhaps?

The bro's probably out there

playing real life Monopoly.

f*ck off.

You're smirking.

No, I'm not.

You're smirking.

Smirker.

The awareness of the

smirk is eating away at its...

I didn't invite anyone. I swear.

I swear.

Oh, hi. Is everything okay in here?

Yeah.

Oh, sh*t. Are we being too loud?

No, no, no.

Um.

Well, yeah, but that's not why I'm

I just got off my shift, and

there's this great perk of free wine.

So, I figured I'd see if Miss V wanted

Or if both of you would like

Miss V?

Oh, I didn't mean to

What is it, Miss?

Miss? I don't know the formal...

Nope. Don't look at her. Look at me.

What exactly are your

intentions with Miss V?

Why does he have to have intentions?

Why can't he just have wine? And leave?

I don't think those are the

eyes of a boy who wants to leave.

No, I think those are

Those are the eyes of

a boy who wants to stay.

Okay, I get it. You're both just mean.

Sadly, per the decree of Miss V herself,

No boys allowed.

Ah. Well, that is a shame.

We will take this, though.

As penance!

Victoria, my darling, tip the barkeep.

Here. Fetch.

Wow. That's very degrading.

Say goodnight, alewife.

Ale Ale-What?

Bye!

Dom, why'd you stop?

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe.

Dizzy.

Ew. You smell like stale farts.

Wait.

No, you smell like lavender

covering up stale farts.

I kinda only packed for our trip.

Weird, right?

Ha.

Mmm.

Where's the loud one?

The loud one?

Not specific enough.

Where's your friend that didn't

get engaged and carried away?

Becca?

I don't know. She didn't

come to bed last night.

We could asked Boy Toy.

Who is

Wearing

Wings.

Are you sure she

didn't come into your room?

It's weird. Maybe text her?

There's an almost limitless number of

guys she could have rolled into bed with.

I think she'll turn up.

Ka-kaw!

Oh! The Summoner,

she's here.

May I present to you, Priscilla.

Oh, Gail.

It's good to see you.

As it is you.

I, um

have someone I would like you to meet.

I believe she to be special.

If you had time,

I would hope you would speak to her.

Yeah, that can be arranged.

Summoner wants you.

You again?

Me again.

Uh, what is this?

I don't know what you...

What do you mean?

So, Wives Day. I get it.

Weird sex parties, plastic

trophy-wives coming to

enjoy the show.

Ha ha. Fun times. We

can dive into that later.

But now: the Summoner?

Dude.

Oh, you mean Gail?

Okay, but like,

you've been here since

you were born. So, is this...

Like, is this normal?

Well, I mean, you should see some

of the other people that rent here.

Oh, boy.

Oh, you are oblivious, huh?

Oh, wow. Okay, rude.

You wanna go spy with me?

Let's go!

What? Ow.

You, me, Trunksy, the Summoner...

Gail.

Let's go watch Gail and Trunks talk.

Okay, ow.

You know, there's an

exit right over there, so

Okay. You just want me to help

you inv*de your friend's privacy.

So

That's a yes?

Madison, right?

Yeah, or Maddy.

Erik speaks highly of you.

Uh

I don't know what to say.

Mmm.

You're warm.

It's probably

just because I was inside.

No.

There's an old soul in there.

Are you afraid to show it?

We all have a

little bit in every one of us.

Uh, a little bit of old?

Before you and me and all

of this, there was a condensed

minuscule just about nothing

that created

everything.

And that minuscule, just

about nothing, is now here.

In these trees, in these mountains,

in the emptiness between us.

Some of us have more than others, but

in each of us, that molecule has existed

long before you and

will exist long after you.

If you're not afraid to show that soul,

you can be infinite.

So, how are you liking everything

so far? It's kind of fun, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is, actually.

See? I told you.

What? Wait, you told me what?

Dude, I have been here for

like a day, and I can see that

there's some, like,

Illuminati-level sh*t going on here.

You know, have you ever considered

you might be a little paranoid?

Do you remember Gail's

little sidekick out there?

Because last time I talked to Priscilla,

she wasn't as Stepford-y as she is now.

Hey!

Have you guys seen Cailyn?

Uh, no, sorry.

I'm not.

I mean, you're seeing this sh*t, right?

You know, you might have a better time

if you tried to have a better time.

Wake the f*ck up, Jack.

Are your pains eased?

All eased.

Yes? Aw.

Alright, come on.

Hey... Hey.

Alright.

You can play with her later, okay?

- She smells good.

I know.

She smells good.

Come on.

You're leaving already?

Uh, yeah.

I figured the long weekend's over.

Back to work tomorrow.

Makes sense. I'll probably

just get a ride with Becca later.

But, um

It was so good to see you, seriously.

Why do you have...

We should probably go tell Becca to...

You packed up my things?

It's time, Maddy.

You had your little chat with Gail and...

Oh my god, I can't

believe you're this jealous.

Jealous?

She was f*cking vetting you.

Vetting me?

Do I need to spell it out for you?

They were psychoanalyzing you.

What is your problem?

What? Because it's normal

when the summoner grabs

your tit and reads your

f*cking fortune or whatever?

Were you spying on me?

No.

What? I saw you.

Oh my god, you were spying on me!

That is so f*cked, Dizzy.

I wanted to make sure you were okay.

Okay.

Now you know.

Leave us.

Shall all your cares beguile.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Yeah, of course.

Oh, um

This probably doesn't matter to

you, but I have to close up for a bit.

They're having this ceremony thing so,

this is sort of like last call.

Hey, sorry.

Mm-Hmm?

Can I have a couple more of then?

Oh. I guess this does matter to you.

Uh, Yeah.

Are you okay?

I can handle it, Jack.

Well, I could get you both...

I've been here long enough.

Oh... Hey, Erik.

I was just

Um

Have you seen my dad?

Harold?

I believe he was gathering his

things after adjusting the power.

If you wish to catch him, I would hurry.

I swear I recall liquid being in there.

I hope you weren't kidding,

knowing your way around the bar.

The spirits can wait.

Keep playing.

I don't know how to play.

I'm just f*cking

hitting keys.

It sounds like music to me.

I have an engagement this evening.

Afterwards I could come

I want to see you.

And I would hope that

you would wait for me if I...

I've got time.

I know you're busy.

I wouldn't

have just... She moved.

g*dd*mn it!

I just panicked.

We have an

actual situation on our hands.

I f*cked up, okay?

I know I f*cked...

I'm f*ckin' freakin' out here.

Look at her and tell

me what to do, all right?

Supposed to be stretching.

Just f*cking help me, Ford.

Damn. I swear she

f*cking went to move and I just...

I mean, you could

have done it cleaner.

She moved, she...

We need at least two, right?

What happens if it's just the one?

then one or the other

sh*t.

What?

Trucks, we have to go.

Dizzy...

They k*lled Becca.

V...

We have to go now.

My f*cking god, V. Enough!

You've been complaining

since we got up here

and I have a really high

tolerance for kind of stuff...

I'm not joking around.

You can't just let it go.

Please...

It's not just now!

It's not just now.

You're always like this.

Trunks

You know, I can't f*cking breathe.

And you play like you're happy for me.

And it's all bullshit.

You know, I get new friends, I talk,

dare I talk to a guy.

The only time that you're happy for me

is when I am with you.

Maddy, you have to listen to me.

Becca's dead?

That's right.

Okay.

I'm heading out and I don't

think I'll be back tonight.

Get it, girl. Eat him alive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Love your face.

You drive safe now.

Hey, dad?

Hey, Jackie boy.

What's up?

I couldn't find you in there.

So

Yeah, I'm just getting ready to head out.

Do you need a hand?

I'm good.

You all right?

Yup.

Hey, what's the deal here, dad?

What's the deal?

With Erik, and these guys.

Like I know they pay for

most of our year, but

Wives Day?

And Gail.

Oh, sorry, excuse me. The Summoner.

What?

What the f*ck is that?

Dad?

You must know.

Yeah?

Well

I guess it's about that time.

Oh, my.

Can we talk? Or...

Yes, of course.

Come in.

I was thinking about, kind of,

everything that's happened up here.

And I'm not trying to

label whatever this is.

It's just

with the thing you guys do up here ending,

I wondered what you thought

this is.

Or was.

I most certainly didn't

think of it as it was.

Did you? -No.

Think that it was a was? -No, I didn't

Yay.

What am I to you?

What do you want from this?

I want to show you something.

Okay.

And I asked it when I say

after, you take as total fact.

No matter how it may sound.

I believe you.

Promise me.

I promise.

Very well.

Keep quiet if you

want to get out of here alive.

Wait, why?

I've been watching you and you're

right about what's going on here,

but you're also very f*cking wrong.

We're running out of time.

What is all this?

It all started as a hunch, just some

nonsensical nothing that

one of the other wives said,

but it stuck in the back

of my head like a splinter.

And then my husband, my dear, sweet, stupid

Charlie, let everything slip

one night when he was drunk.

He was babbling on about how

the bat that Jack has behind the bar

was given to him by Babe Ruth himself.

Do you know when he played?

I don't know who that is.

Early 1900s.

He was talking about how exhilarating

it was to watch him live and in person.

Wait

Mm-hmm.

You're starting to get it, sister.

And to think, Charlie ain't the oldest one.

A sword.

Open it.

All the way.

Still a sword.

That it is.

But you see, that sword,

which you cavalierly swing about my room,

that sword

is one thousand years old.

Bullshit.

I made you promise.

Okay.

So, you have a thousand

year old priceless sword.

What's the point?

You think that w*apon has no price?

You find the right collector.

You would never have to work again.

Hmm.

Any man in this lodge could offer you

some sort of similar financial security.

Whether that be fortune, wealth, riches.

But what I offer

What I offer is far greater in worth.

What do you offer?

Time,

Madison.

Time is what I offer.

Whoa.

I'm dizzy.

Who knows how long they've been doing this?

The wives, they seem to cycle through every

three to four years

once they've lost their

beauty or their youth or

their husbands have

just gotten tired of them.

But

Fiona's the only one who got engaged.

Yes.

She and I were the lucky ones.

But claiming their trophies is

not what they're really here to do.

There she is.

Hey, baby.

I hope I wasn't too

rough with you last night.

You've unleashed something

in me and I don't know if

if I'm ever coming back.

Well, that's the idea.

Baby, I don't know if I

can handle round two.

So now you must choose.

What are you talking about?

There's a power.

Mmm.

One which makes

the sword in your hand the

second oldest thing touching you.

Wait, what do you mean?

I mean immortality.

Stop.

Victoria warned you about this, didn't she?

Okay, that's not funny.

The abductions, the kidnappings of women.

Madison, it's all true.

Okay, what the f*ck is wrong with you?

This power

It's cost, it takes out in blood.

Oh, you are so close to

believing this. You don't...

The cold.

Tell me you feel it.

This... This is...

Please don't touch me.

What are you?

I am the man you've

known these past few days,

who you've shared your soul with.

I am Erik Thorvaldsson.

And I am the only man who can offer you

the chance to never live

another day in your life

less perfect than you are right now.

And all it would take

is the sacrifice of those beneath us.

And who is beneath us?

Everyone.

You're a monster.

I am that too.

But...

Now you truly believe.

I don't know what I believe.

And yet, your convictions are

strong enough to strike me down.

In warm blood.

Please don't make me do this.

Do you know how long

I've been searching for

someone as extraordinary as you

in these vast oceans of genetic mediocrity?

You're the only one I would

ever share this blessing with.

'Till the end of days, I...

Madison, don't make me live without you.

You want me?

Have I not made that clear?

I don't know if I can do what you do.

But I do want this.

So...

You want this?

Fine.

Do it.

Erik

Do it.

I only ask that if you do,

look me in the eyes.

Erik.

For if I am to die on this day,

I can think of no greater

beauty for my final sight.

Madison.

Madison.

Starting to get it?

All of your friends are

going to be processed

and turned into a

fountain of youth, of sorts.

And The Summoner

is the key to everything.

I know it.

When is this happening?

Now.

Trunks

Oh my... f*ck. f*ck!

We have to stop it!

That's why I brought you up here.

Don't think.

Just sh**t.

Dude, what the f*ck are you doing?

He's going to k*ll you if

he sees you doing that.

What are you a f*cking cop, Chuck?

Mind your business.

The time has come.

Once again, we the chosen,

the men of the Ka-Rura,

take part in the festival

of the Everlasting.

Through our holy conduit,

we call forth the unceasing

to offer us the feast of youth.

To bring rejuvenation of health,

healing of bones,

and the invigoration of our very souls.

Yo, are you grabbing food?

There's like a whole

spread set up for us for later.

A whole spread for f*cking them.

Just go grab takeout,

alright? And I'll pay.

-Alright. -Sick!

Yeah.

One more year of this sh*t.

Two just left in front of the other...

Let me worry about them.

Just get to the hatch.

I'll guide you from there.

What we

need should be dead ahead.

Do you see it?

I see a couple boxes. Now what?

Whatever goes on upstairs,

they need to account for

some type of electrical surge.

So the owner reroutes

the power from the ski lift to...

The owner?

Jack?

No, his father.

There should be a

separate breaker marked lift or cable.

Do you see it?

Alecto,

Rise.

Let me go, please!

Alecto, rise!

Aid us your strength.

Feed us.

Feed us.

Alecto,

rise!

Alecto, rise!

Aid us your power.

Feed us!

Feed us!

Alecto, rise!

Alecto, rise!

We're f*cked. We're so f*cked!

Can

you not find the box for the...

They threw that guy's wife down here.

I told you they were monsters.

Why am I doing this?

Why aren't you the one

in the f*cking basement?

Trust me, you don't want my job.

Really?

Does your job include

dealing with a rotten corpse?

It does now.

They're coming for you.

I can hear them.

Look, I know you're scared,

and that's alright.

But I also need

you to be productive, okay?

So find the box.

I don't see one that says "lift" any...

Wait, rope tow?

Could that be it?

Well, if you don't see...

Yeah, it should be.

What do you mean it should be?

I mean, yes.

The rope must mean cable. Or...

Well, do you or do you not know?

Kid,

just hit the f*cking switch.

Erik... Erik.

Hey, Cailyn.

I'm coming upstairs.

Will you stop sh**ting everything?

We have g*ns for a reason.

You said you

were going to sneak past...

I am sneaking.

The snow makes sound.

Or would you rather we go through all

this trouble of rescuing your little friend

just to have these groupies

get us on the way out?

Can we just try and be quiet

and meet up where we said we would?

Fine.

I'll meet you on the second floor.

Erik!

Erik!

Erik

I would give anything in this moment

if I thought I could change your mind.

Oh, God

But the eyes.

Madison.

The eyes betray you.

Was the cost really so great?

Did you care for these people?

Because I'm evil?

Don't you get it?

This

our time,

is what is truly priceless.

I got you good, didn't I?

Hey listen, I'm sorry.

I couldn't help myself.

Don't come any closer.

I'm just the messenger,

but that message is that I

can't let you go up that way.

So, why don't I just give you...

I said stop!

Hey, whoa. Listen.

Whatever you think is fair, alright?

I got some going out on the town money.

Huh? We can sort this out tomorrow.

Where's Maddie?

That's above my pay grade, okay?

I was told to watch the house,

and hands off you and

the bosses, girl. That's it.

Hands off?

So

Where the f*ck is she?

That's a great question. You

know, I don't have the answer.

But that worry right there,

that sounds like it's worth

another thousand in hazard pay.

Huh?

How about it?

Jack!

Victoria?

Oh, my God, we need to hurry.

I can't

You have no idea what's going on here.

Erik, please. Please don't.

Please

Please

Another sacrifice for the feast.

No!

Feed us!

Alecto, rise!

Listen, you need to leave.

Hey, I tried to offer some severance pay.

Shut up! Just

You're one of them.

I can assure you, I just found out

how not one of them I really am.

Look, you have no idea what's up there!

My best friend is up there.

So, if you're really not one of them...

Oh, she is f*cking special!

I know.

Feed us!

Alecto, rise!

Gail!

Nobody move!

Cailyn?

Honey, I'm gonna need

you to shut the f*ck up.

The women are talking.

What exactly happens now?

We win.

There's no need for this, Jack!

Just stop fighting, it'll go

down a lot easier for ya.

Boss?

Boss, Boy Wonder here,

he thought it'd be a good

idea to try to take on...

Leave it to a woman

to ruin paradise!

Mister Erik, are you okay?

Mister Erik?

Come here!

I was one away.

One f*cking year away.

What have you done?

What have I done?

After everything I've given to your family.

Sustaining you people for centuries!

This is how you repay me?

My dad told me what you've

been doing for centuries.

We're your hostages!

You're the help.

Exceptionally compensated

help, I might add.

Who, until now, we're all smart enough to

simply take the money,

smile, and live with it.

And then die with it.

Unlike you.

But you all die so well.

Come on, Buttercup! Come on!

Dizzy.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I think I peed my trunks.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

One to ten, how much do you hate me?

Just shut up.

Come on

Pick me up, I didn't mean it.

Buttercup!

Oh, no-no-no, wait.

Wait wait wait!

No, no, no!

No, no, no

No! No!

It's okay.

Shut up, shut up

It's okay.

You're a badass.

And you're gonna continue

to be a badass all by yourself.

Now go f*cking do it.

You know, Jack, I think I needed this.

We used to walk these lands as we pleased.

Took what we wanted, did what we desired.

Oh, the facade I must dawn

to live amongst you miscreants,

is simply exhausting.

- Wait a minute.

You mean the voice and your whole

general vibe, that was you blending in?

That's right.

Scurry away, mortal.

Gods, it's been ages since I tasted battle.

The illumination of peril.

Death's consignment

to a hovering wraith.

We really do take the simple

things for granted, Jack.

You were to be spared, Victoria.

Ugh! Ah...

Both of you.

I thought I told you to leave.

I kind of like bothering you more.

This

All this!

Is on your hands.

I hope it was worth it.

Actually, yeah. I got what I wanted.

Oh, and what was that?

Your precious Madison,

saw you for what you really are,

a f*cking joke.

She d*ed watching you run away.

You turned your back on her.

On all of them.

Then when I send you to her

Tell her, I'm sorry for that too.
