Harder!

- You like that?
- Yeah! Yeah!

Seamus?

Stop.

- Seamus!
- [MUSIC STOPS]

Seamus?

sh*t! sh**t! Okay.

Please don't tell me I cleared
my schedule for nothing.

I'm sorry, Dad, I...
just got distracted.

We said AM sharp.
Where's the hunting gear?

Oh... sh*t.

It's... it's at the dock.

And why aren't you down there?

- I...
- [DOOR OPENING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Go wash your face.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

She shouldn't see this. Keep her away.

Here.

Grace, stop.

He lost, and now he's dead.

This was not a part of Spencer's plan.

Then it was the masked
guy who stabbed me.

We... we need to get the
hell off the island ASAP.

Merle. Merle can take us back.

We need to get back to the boathouse.

And go back through the
woods with a masked k*ller

on the loose? No. No,
no, no way. No way.

Maybe they're gone. Maybe
it was just all about Jayden.

Why? Who would wanna hurt Jayden?

Who...

We'll go as a group, okay? I'll lead.

Well, she's not going
anywhere. I'll stay.

I'll help.

Just be careful.

Let's go, before it gets dark.

Hey, are you coming?

I'll stay.

Alfre, go with Mommy.

Be there in a minute.

Be careful.

Grace...

We will...

find the person who did this.

You did this.

Do you understand?

My son is dead because of you.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SOBBING]

[INSECTS CHIRRING]

- What did he look like?
- Uh... a whitish mask,

an old-fashioned suit,

black cap, black gloves, creepy as f*ck.

[BOAT BELL RINGING]

[WAVES SPLASHING]

- The boat's gone.
- It sounded like he went

to go fish. He would take it
back to share the bounty.

Let's see if he left a note. Or a g*n.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

- This is unusual.
- If he's not back by dinner

with his bounty, I'm
swimming to the mainland.

The cold and the currents
aren't just myth and hyperbole.

Is there any way to call him back?

This is the only island for
miles. There's no cell service.

So we have to wait until when?

If Merle doesn't come back,

Monday.

It's either the beast or the deep.

The creepy masked guy with
the Kn*fe... how the f*ck

did Spencer run a huge
business without cell service?

Well, I've seen him with a
satellite phone once or twice,

- but we never had access to it.
- Oh, okay.

Satellite phone, priority number one.

[EERIE MUSIC]

[Kn*fe SLASHING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

The destroyed satellite phone,
just sitting in the den

looking like a cubist art reject.

Wait, did you know he
was trapping us here?

Of course not! Your father
hired me to oversee two things:

his end-of-life arrangements
and the execution of his will.

- Emphasis on execution.
- Okay, okay, I think just given

the extreme circumstances,
we tear up that will.

It's a legal document. The
original's with his lawyers

- on the mainland.
- Okay, huge respect for Spencer

and I'm not trying to be off-base,
but could he have brought

a g*n for hire to the island?

- [WHIMPERING]
- It's okay, sweetie.

- Come on.
- Grandpa bad man.

- He's not, sweetheart.
- Hello, he set up bear traps

- for your crazy competition.
- He put us through hell,

but he didn't want us dead.
The... the mask, whatever

the hell this was, it's different.

The difference is this sham doctor.
She shows up and people

start dropping like flies.
What a coincidence.

Kristy said the m*rder*r was
wearing a mask. Maybe he

- or she-isn't an outsider.
- It isn't family.

So what, the doctor? Or are
you accusing me too, Flo?

Or maybe it's him, the new family.

- Vincent is family!
- You sure about that?

- Kristy, come on!
- What? How do we know

- he's not making that sh*t up?
- Spencer had proof!

Like he had proof about her?

Are you saying she's not family?

- Now that you mention it.
- Okay, anyone with a boat

- could get here.
- Okay, so maybe Jayden

was targeted. Was he ever
involved in anything illegal?

You shut your mouth! Shut your mouth!

I loved him, I'm just trying
to figure out what happened.

So there's no boat. How about
we make a raft or something?

Those channels take down
boats every year. We're toast

- if we don't have a motor.
- I am duty-bound to tell you

that even if you left the island,

the competition still goes ahead.

No! I loved my son and my husband!

I'm sorry. Nothing changes
the terms of Spencer's will,

not even death... his or anyone else's.

If you don't play, you
can't get his inheritance.

Alright, we're not going
anywhere tonight.

We all sleep together in here.

The k*ller could be in this house.

Dude!

Well, we would know if he was.

[SOBBING]

The house is huge.

No one sleeps alone.

Daddy, I hear ocean. Do again.

My mattress is never gonna
make it down the stairs.

Let's just all clean up and grab
what we need for sleeping.

Everyone. Yeah?

Yeah, okay.

Are you ready for your
first slumber party?

- Yep.
- Yeah.

I'm gonna go warm up some milk

to calm down.

Yeah, if that works,
I'll take the whole cow.

[INSECTS CHIRRING]

Figured you'd be out
building a raft by now.

[CHUCKLING] Yeah, no,

this family doesn't
need any more tragedy.

Um...

I talked to my mom.

About my birth father.

Did you... know,

all this time?

Yeah.

The situation is complicated.

Always has been.

Okay, I know that this
isn't exactly a great time,

but why didn't you ever
say anything to me?

Because your mother
and I laid it to rest.

We lived under the same roof.

You know? I mean, even when I was a kid,

there was just...

there was nothing from you.

Is this about the money?

'Cause I don't have any.

Look, I don't care about the money,

- that's not...
- No?

No. I, um...

I just wanna...

I wanna connect with you.

With... my father.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Well, we did that.

If you don't want the money,
you should drop out

of the competition. [CLICKING TONGUE]

Greedy little bastard.

Just like my father predicted.

[SOBBING SOFTLY]

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]

[SOBBING]

I brought food.

You'll feel better if you eat something.

I'm not hungry.

I'll just leave it here in case
you change your mind.

Grace, I...

Sorry? Yes. Yes, everyone is sorry.

But I really am.

I mean, not just for now.
I could've done better.

We... we all could've done better.

Well, I wasn't a joy to work for.

I made it harder for you.

It's this place.

It's toxic.

Spencer's legacy...

This family brings
people into their orbit

and destroys them.

Especially if you're an outsider.

- People like us.
- People who aren't...

Spoiled, privileged...

White.

Maybe we need to change that.

Keep an eye out.

Watch out for each other.

Because they won't.

I can do that.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Every m*rder*r needs a w*apon.

An outsider needs to protect herself.

We could get off this island.

Go back to the way things were before.

I can throw the money away.

I'm being paid well enough.

And that's not what Spencer wanted.

You have no idea what he
wanted. You're not family.

That's why he wanted a neutral
party. To keep this clean

from your selfishness,
ineptitude and greed.

Ah!

You think I'm f*cking with you?

You're just angry because
a competition means

that you would have to actually
earn something for once.

[SCREECHING]

Stay out of the way,
or you're gonna need

a real doctor!

- [PANTING]
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- You better hope I don't catch you!
- [SCREAMING]

Wait, wait, wait, stop!
Stop! You're the k*ller!

Wrong again.

I would never, ever k*ll family.

No, your father said you
would do anything for cash!

That a k*ller instinct
without control is weakness!

Oh, trust me,

I'm gonna be very controlled with you.

[BOTH YELLING]

Stay the f*ck away from me!

When this weekend is over I'm
going straight to the police!

And you're gonna tell them what?

- The truth.
- Beauty is truth. Truth,

beauty, that is all you know on
earth and all you need to know.

You're f*cking crazy!

I'm not the one who
trapped us here, forcing us

to compete to the death!

The police won't believe a word you say.

Your family will. They all hate you!

They all know that you'd
stop at nothing to win!

[LAUGHING]

Look at you, fleeing on a wood chipper!

- This is a joke to you?
- Of course it's a joke.

I mean, what did you think,

I was gonna go all Lizzie Borden on you?

[LAUGHING]

[FORCED LAUGHTER] I'm...

I'm gonna get down from here,

then I'm going back...

[SCREAMING]

Help! Please! Get me out of here!

k*ller instinct, Daddy?

f*ck you for ever doubting me.

- [MACHINE WHIRRING]
- [SCREAMING]

- [SCREAMING]
- [BONES CRUNCHING]

[OWL HOOTING]

We be close, Papa?

[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]

All night.

It's okay.

There you go.

Hey.

Do you love me?

Seamus, why would you ask me that?

And you'll stay with me...

through anything?

Oh my god, please don't
tell me that you...

- I did something.
- To Jayden? Please not that,

- please...
- Jayden? What? No!

Oh. [CLEARS THROAT]

It's Liv, um...

Liv is my daughter.

So you're the mystery man.

Seamus, I... I don't know
what to think right now.

Well, it sounds like you think

I had something to do
with Jayden's death.

Okay, you were being so awful,

and weird, and I... I don't
know, Seamus, I was scared.

So you jump to the conclusion
that I'm a psycho k*ller?

Jeez!

I'm glad you know me so well.

You know, apparently I don't,
since you've been keeping

secret daughters from me,
even when we were trying

to have a baby that whole time.

That whole time.

What else aren't you telling me?

Got any other secrets
I don't know about?

It... it was in the past,

it was...

a long time ago, Kristy.

You know, "it" is a person.

One of the few people
I actually like here.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

That wild turkey didn't stand a chance.

Well, I think it might
have had an advantage.

A shotgun can't sh**t itself, my dear.

The meal can't serve itself.

- Birgit! Birgit!
- Tell again Achilles

how he has slayed the Calydonian boar.

What? What the hell
are you going on about?

Ugh, your father-son
blood bonding, cretin.

Achilles had his bloody headphones
in his ears the whole time.

Oh my god! Music helps
me concentrate, Dad.

You can't hunt something you can't hear.

Unless you're hunting George Michael.

Honestly, what is it about
George Michael? You're obsessed.

Oh, Dad, everyone loves him.

Well, I don't. That high lady voice,

that... that Freedom song
you keep singing.

All those lines about a secret

and someone he's got to be...
and then there's that video.

'K, it's an ode to Blade Runner, okay?

It's an ode to p*rn.
The guy's as q*eer as a $ bill.

Dad, all of my friends
are playing with sexuality.

Your friends are nothing
like George Michael, trust me.

No, they certainly aren't.

Why doesn't he just stop
b*ating about the bush

and just tell the world
he's gay? Right, Seamus?

- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Right.

Maybe he doesn't because
he knows the world

would stop buying his records if he did.

Dinner's served.

- Finally.
- We are starting with gazpacho.

Birgit!

- You've served this cold.
- [SEAMUS SNORTS]

Yes, my dear, it's supposed to be.

- [LAUGHING]
- I can't.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

She's here.

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Congratulations to those
still left in the game,

and condolences to Seamus for
choking on the first challenge,

unless he's proven me wrong
for the first time in his life.

This second challenge is
more difficult than the first.

Again, no winner,

only a loser who will be out of
the running for the inheritance.

In the middle of the night,
another tone will sound.

The remaining players are
to convene in the basement,

where they can prove their worth or...

admit their shame.

So what is it now? Red-hot pokers?

Trinh pulling your nails out?

What cheery family tradition's next?

Where is Trinh?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[INSECTS CHIRRING]

Dr. Trinh!

- Hello?
- Dr. Trinh?

- Dr. Trinh?
- Dr. Trinh?

Dr. Trinh!

Dr. Trinh?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Dr. Trinh?

Dr. Trinh?

[CREAKING]

Theo?

Oh, sorry.

Any luck?

No.

My god, what a nightmare.

Tell me about it.

I think coming back here was a mistake.

Should've never gotten
off that f*cking boat.

Now you're a Galloway, though.

Yay?

[CHUCKLING]

Spencer should've just told you.

Ah... Not Spencer.

Seamus.

Whatever.

Hasn't changed my life one way
or another and it's not gonna,

- so...
- Not gonna?

Make it out of this weekend
a multimillionaire,

so yeah, change your life.

Certainly might change mine.

Yeah, you um...

you must have had a pretty
hard life, huh? Out there.

No harder than yours,

although I'm not really
a Galloway anymore.

But, uh...

sorry for everything my family
put you and your mom through.

And uh... if I don't win this thing,

I hope you do.

'Cause you...

deserve it.

We should keep looking.

Vincent.

What? What's the problem?

Is it 'cause I'm not Theo?

I mean, I'm not the only
one out to kiss a cousin.

[GRUNTING]

Stay the f*ck away from me.

- [OMINOUS MUSIC]
- Be careful.

k*ller could be out there.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Take my f*cking chances.

Dr. Trinh?

Dr. Trinh?

[INSECTS CHIRRING]

- [SQUISHY SOUND]
- Ah!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

That's Trinh's.

She was wearing it today.

Oh god.

Hey, guys? We found Trinh's remains

- out by the wood chipper.
- Oh my god, like,

- what, through the chipper?
- Yeah.

Okay, so the k*ller is still here.

And Jayden wasn't the only target.

Okay, let's get everybody
inside, lock the doors.

- Liv's not back.
- Has anybody seen her?

You stay here, I'll go back out.

- No, I'm coming with you.
- No, stay put! She'll be back.

- Why, just leave her out there?
- No, that is two people

- who've been m*rder*d, Seamus.
- No!

What if you go out there,
she comes back,

then we'll wonder where you are! Listen,

I know this doesn't feel good,
but we have to be careful.

Oh, I see.

Careful of your own. She's
not the right kind of family.

That's not fair.

Jayden, Trinh,

and now Liv. What do they
all share in common?

Birgit, Liv is a trained soldier.
She can defend herself

- better than any of us.
- I care about Liv.

- Bullshit you do!
- I'll just leave the lights on

outside and stand watch
during the night.

And I'll stay with you. She's
coming back. She's coming back.

I know what I see.

I know what I see!

She's always hated Jayden.
Always hated Liv.

[INSECTS CHIRRING]

[GASPING]

g*dd*mn it, Birgit!

Well, clean up on aisle .

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Are you feeling okay, Grace?

Oh, if you don't like it, don't eat it.

- You okay, honey?
- [HEAVING]

Maybe Birgit could fry up a hamburger.

[RETCHING]

Aw...

What's wrong?

You're not feeling good?

I don't know.

Maybe you're not used to
all this high-quality food.

Right? Growing up in a trailer park...

Yeah.

Yeah, I think everything
here is way too rich

for your blood.

A little too refined for your palate.

In this family,

we take care of our own.

Got it, Mom?

- [COUGHING]
- [CHORTLING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Taking care of your own?

What the f*ck are you talking about?

The Galloway way.

You know, I just...

I didn't expect that it
would escalate to m*rder.

First Jayden,

now Liv? So you can win?

Don't be ridiculous.


I wouldn't touch your
kids to scratch them.

Bullshit.

Oh, but hey, if someone
takes care of them for me,

just tell me who to tip on my way up.

[DEEP BREATH]

[GRUNTING] Not so tough now, are you?

- Arrogant bitch!
- [YELLING]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAM]

What the f*ck was that?

[MUFFLED YELLING]

What...

[SCREAMING]

Whoa. I got this.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

- [SCREAMING]
- [BREAKING GLASS]

[GRUNTING]

- [YELLING]
- Come on!

[YELLING]

Come here!

[SCREAMING]

[PANTING]

- I'm not scared of you.
- You should be!

[YELLING]

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

Locked. We gotta break it
in. We gotta break it in.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

[LAUGHING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

[WHIMPERING]

[SCREAMING]

[BANGING ON DOOR]

[SCREAMING]

... two, one.

You took my son from me!

I saw it happen! He was k*lled!

- You have any proof of that?
- Three, two, one!

You took my son from me!

Stop it! Come on,

stop it! Stop it!

[SCREAMING]

[CRUNCHING]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

- What the f*ck, Grace?
- Oh, my god!

Oh, don't all look at me like that!

You all taught me this!

[YELPING]

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[WHIMPERING]

[WHIMPERING]

[SCREAMING]

My hands...

They're my artistic livelihood.

I should have had them insured.

Yeah, well, f*ck them.

I'll be back in the next.
We'll kick their asses

and we're gonna f*cking win together.

Oh, my god.

There's no "we" in Dad's plan.

- [BELL RINGING]
- The basement tone.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

I think we're supposed to start.

We're gonna start when my -fingered
sister gets down here

with clean clothes just
like the rest of us.

Do we carry on without Trinh?

I read that will.

Nothing stops it.

No psycho survivor...

Let's get the fatherly love
over with. Blah blah blah,

you suck, I'm great.

What, you didn't get enough
when he was alive?

No winner, only a loser.
The last person across

- is eliminated.
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

- Across that?
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

To win, you have to
get to the other side.

If you fall, you start again.

And get electrocuted, I assume.

One sec, where's Liv?

Doesn't that automatically
make her the loser?

She's forfeiting, right?

Maybe? I don't know if that
applies to this competition.

I mean, she's not losing,
just not competing, right?

Yeah, but she's taken
herself out of the running,

we're clear on that. Rules are rules.

Okay, everyone ready
to suffer pointlessly?

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Okay, countdown on my five.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Five,

four,

three,

two...

- Go.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GRUNTING IN PAIN]

No! No!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[SCREAMING]

Take it.

Any rules about helping others across?

I don't think... No,
there's nothing in the rules.

- Do it, Seamus.
- No f*cking way.

- [BUZZING]
- [SCREAMING]

[BUZZING]

Got him.

- [LAUGHING]
- Shh, shh, shh!

Oh my god! Oh my god, that
ipecac hit her so hard!

And she deserved it. She deserved it!

Thank you. Thank you for your help.

Well, there's nothing
like a shared enemy.

You know, that George
Michael thing at dinner,

that was horrible.

- It's fine.
- No, it's not.

It's not.

I mean, I get what Dad is saying.

I'm trying to think... whatever.

- What does he expect me to say?
- Mm-mm. No.

You do not have to
define yourself for me.

Or anyone, really.

[MOANING]

[MOANING]

[LAUGHING]

- [GRUNTING]
- Yeah! Yeah!

Oh yeah!

[MOANING]

[MOANING]

Shh, shh! Slower, slower! Slower!

[MOANING]

[GRUNTING]

- You idiot! And you,
- Oh, sh*t!

you slut! Like we haven't
given you enough?

Come on, this is what
you wanted me to do.

f*ck the help?

Jesus Christ, Seamus, you
can f*ck anyone you want,

just not the woman who
cleans our g*dd*mn toilets!

I'm just fooling around, Dad.

Tell me you wore a condom.

Did you come inside her?

Man the f*ck up.

In this world, there is
us, and there is them.

If you give them anything of us,

they will run with it.

You can't trust anyone!

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Come on.

- Come on!
- f*ck it.

I don't need help.

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING IN PAIN]

[PANTING]

No...

Shoulda taken my hand.

[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC]

Baby?

f*ck all this insanity, Seamus.

You're free.

Let's get over this weekend,
never come back.

Okay?

You saw what happened
to Jayden when he lost.

Trinh said those were unrelated...

Trinh is dead.

She didn't know what
she was talking about.

You'll leave me.

- What?
- When we get home.

You'll leave me.

That... that's crazy.

We can't be us anymore.

The expensive dinners, the vacations...

No. That stuff was fun, but you
are more than your money.

You know that's not true.

Do you honestly think I'm that shallow?

That I'd stay through
years of this psycho,

cruel family bullshit

if it wasn't for you? Really?

Kristy...

Money changes everyone.

It didn't change me.

I don't know you, Seamus.

And you clearly never knew me.

- [INSECTS CHIRRING]
- [OWL HOOTING]

Thought kicking Florence's ass
would make me feel better.

- Oh, that sh*t felt good.
- [LAUGHING]

It did.

It didn't last.

- We will be okay.
- We don't know that.

I understand how you're feeling

better than anyone else here.

If Liv is half as strong
as you, she'll survive.

She's probably out there working
out how to get us away

from this miserable place.

- We can hope.
- Yeah.

We still have that.

Yeah.

You called?

- I have something for you.
- Okay.

I waited to tell you that I was sorry

- about what happened.
- It's fine.

I mean, I'm not sorry about
what happened between us.

- I actually liked that.
- Here.

It's for you.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

I know you don't have
a lot of money, and...

I wanted to help make sure that, uh...

you take care of, well...

anything that could come up.

As you wish.

Oh, my shirt. The one
with the French cuffs.

Any chance to iron it yet? I
need it for a board meeting.

Yes, sir.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- [BANGING ON DOOR]
- [GASPING]

Hello?

[PANTING]

[GASPING WITH RELIEF]

Don't.

I just... I thought I'd check
up on Uncle Seamus.

You just missed him.

You okay?

Oh... Do you want me to...

- come inside?
- Yeah.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[O'KEEFE]: You okay?

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[CREAKING]

[CREAKING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Money was fun, but I never
gave a f*ck about it.

Same for me.

I came to all these
horrible family reunions.

- Sorry if you like them.
- Yeah, no.

I don't want to ever come
to one of these again.

He's the only reason I come here

and he knows how I feel.

- These things suck.
- It does, I...

I just keep trying and trying.

I adopted a kid with him. I built a life

around him.

I love him.

He must know that. Yeah, deep down.

No, he's too banged up
by your awful grandfather

to see that I love him completely.

You're so lucky that
Spencer wasn't your dad.

He ruined Seamus, he ruined your mom...

Trust me, it trickles down.

I bet.

Well, you think you can fix it?

You guys good at working
these things out?

If I can get him as far away
as possible from all of...

Us? Yeah.

That's a good idea.

And I'm not letting him go.
