02x04 - The Exit

Post by bunniefuu »

Well, the house, it
makes these, um...

Memories that eat
other memories.

You can't tell me anything
I don't already know.

'Cause you're not really him.

Honey, you...

Look, you're not real.

You said so yourself.

No, what I said was

I'm the better version of you.

What happens to these cannibals

when they run out
of memories to eat?

My husband will be home soon.

I'm your husband.

But if I can just get
her back to reality,

I think it'll come back to her.

We went back. The house is gone.

I think we know
where it's hiding.

Let's head out in the morning.

So we hooked up in an
alternate reality?

You know, I'd try to
give you a high five,

but I feel like that'd
probably be a little weird.

I feel like we should avoid
the post-coital high five

as best we can.

For the record, um,

this usually takes a
couple dates first.

So when's our first date?

Mmm. Tonight, when we're
back in the real world.

Are you ready, baby?

I'm gonna get everyone up

and we're going home.

Hey, hey.

Lacey.

I wish I could just
show you what we had...

put it back in your head.

You remember that?

Will you put it on me?

You remember, don't you?

It'll all come back.

I hope so.

It's okay.

Hey.

Hey, why are you out here?

I... I think I just
sleepwalked here.

Well, are you okay?

Yeah, I just... - I... - No!

No, no, no, drop it!

Please!

Somebody help me!

Let me go!

Get off of me!

Help me!

She doesn't remember anything.

Who are they?

Why are they in there?

Come on, let's go.

Hey, what happened
to you this morning?

What?

- Jules.
- Hold on, look.

They're part of a house.

They know we're leaving
and they don't like it.

- Kevin?
- Just keep walking.

- If you run, they run.
- Kevin?

Kevin?

Boys, breakfast!

Stop. Stop. Come on.

Lacey, Lacey.

- Please, please.
- Listen, listen.

- Please.
- Shh, shh.

What?

He can only feed off the
person they're made from.

I guess that's what happens when
the host runs out of memories.

Or dies.

Come on. Keep moving.

Jesus.

Hey.

I know you saw my arm.

Why didn't you say anything?

Look, it's none of
my business, man.

I-I know you're not
just some guy.

You know what's happening to me.

Who are you?

You know, that's the perfect
way to describe it.

I really am just some guy.

I just want this to stop.

I want to get out of the house.

What good do you think
that's gonna do?

You're f*cked.

Listen. Listen to me.

I don't know why
you're lying to them,

but I'm telling you right now,

if you do anything to stop us
from getting out of this house,

I'll tell them you're not
who you say you are, okay?

Guys!

It's actually kind
of nice, isn't it?

Is that some kind of "mind
over matter" thing?

No, I'm just saying, if you
let your guard down...

I feel like you could
almost get comfortable.

How is it night already?

Come on.

Lacey.

How much further is it?

I have no idea anymore.

Is this what I think it is?

What?

It's the Corn Maze.

Margot's dad used to take
us when we were little.

So we've got to go through it
if we want to get out, right?

Sweetheart?

Grandpa!

François, mon chéri.

David! David!

That one we saw in the field

must've been headed this way.

Sweetheart!

Are we sure we want to
go in there in the dark?

Anything that's in there now
will still be there tomorrow.

Yeah, but at least we
can see it, right?

Every minute we're
here, we're in danger.

Sweetheart?

Back away slowly.

It's starved to death.

It'll try to feed on anyone.

We'll wait here till it's light.

Sweetheart?

What?

You're just...

You're not what I thought you
were when I first saw you.

I mean, I could...

I could see that you were sad,

but I didn't know how
strong you were yet.

Have you seen the orchids?

Yeah, they're hard to miss.

Hey.

Hey!

Where's he going?

Hey!

What?

It's just an orchid.

Are you sure?

Oh, my God.

It's an orchid mantis.

It feeds on other insects.

It just disguises
itself as a flower

so it can lure them in.

How'd you know that?

Hey!

Hey, come here!

Hey!

I didn't plan on this.

Plan on what?

On liking you so much.

Okay, well, I like
you a lot too.

I'm not who you think I am.

Okay, who are you?

Someone who doesn't belong.

I never have, anywhere.

Until now.

Okay, I don't really
understand what you're saying.

I'm saying that I live here.

Oh, God damn it.

Hey, come here.

Hey, buddy, come here.

Come here.

Give me your arm.

Give me your hand.

If anything happens to her,

I'm gonna k*ll you.

Do you understand?
Do you understand?

We have to go.

It's not for everybody, but...

this place can be home to
the people who need it.

There's a way to survive.
I can show you.

Show me what?

That it can be beautiful.

Oh, my God.

What are you?

He's not who he says he is.
He's a liar.

Just settle down.

No, we have to go.

Come, come.

Let's go back.

Believe me. He's not my husband.

- Stop it. Stop!
- Please, please, please.

- Sit down.
- You have to let me go.

Please!

Hang on, hang on. Hey,
hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm just like you.

I came in here a while back,

and I didn't know that I was...

Wait, but we met you at the bar.

Oh, my God, you
brought us in here.

No, no, Margot, it's not...

- Oh, my God.
- It's not like that, okay?

Just please, just listen to me.

- No, just don't...
- Just let me...

- Don't touch me.
- Just...

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart?

No, no, no, no, no! No, baby!

Baby!

Baby! Baby!

No.

No, no.

What happened?

Oh, Jesus.

One of those things tried
to get in her head.

Get up.

Get up.

You're one of them.

No, we know him.

Lift up your sleeve.


Pull it up.

Casey, just show him.

Pull up your f*cking sleeve.

Just show him, Casey.

It just started happening to me.

It's this place.

- Ah!
- Jesus!

All right. All right.

Oh! Okay.

Get away from him.

You think I'm f*cking with you?
Move.

- Don't go.
- Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

He's not real.

He k*lled the real JT.

Didn't you?

Please.

I just want to get out of here.

He m*rder*d your friend.

Is that true?

I'm real.

I feel everything.

This hurts!

I know you guys!

We grew up together!

You know me!

Shut up.

Let's go.

Seth can't come.

Why, are you one of them?

No, no, no. I'm a person.

He lives here.

Margot, I wish you
would let me explain.

Margot, I am so sorry.

It's not what you think.
I can show you.

No, no, no, no, no. Please.

Please, please, no.

No, please. Please don't.

Please, please don't.

Don't. No!

No! Stop!

Run.

David?

Over here!

Dom Michelle?

Dom Michelle?

François!

Come on.

Mommy, help!

Ned?

Arturo!

Arturo!

Arturo!

Sweetheart?

Sweetheart!

Sweet...

Jules?

Jules!

Darling, do you hear me?

Jules!

Jules?

Jules?

What was that?

Jules... was that yours?

Margot.

Please.

I know you're not my father.

I know.

I'm only a... a reflection
that lived in you.

I don't want to hurt you.

I don't want to hurt
either of you, so...

if you could just give me
just a little something,

something small, to...

to satisfy me until you're gone.

I mean, it won't have to hurt.

I could just do it
while you're awake.

I mean, I could just...

Run.

Princess?

Charlie, can you hear me?

You guys go without me.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna burn it all down.

I'm gonna finish it.

Don't be stupid, Dylan.

Go.

Come on.

Come with me.

sh*t! Jules, move!

Margot.

What is that?

Margot.

Margot!

sh*t.

Margot.

I don't know. Can
you get over it?

I don't know. I don't know.

Come on.

- Come on.
- Okay.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Okay.

Come on.

What did you see in Room Three?

Ms. Carpenter, our
first grade teacher.

Yeah, she scared the
sh*t out of me.

Jules!

Hey.

Come on.

Hey, look.

We got this.

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- We got this?
- Yeah.

You ready to go home?

You have no idea.

Are we home?

I think so.

Let's go.

Hey, how was it?

Go home.

We drove from Forest
Hills, and it's locked.

Maybe it's full.

There's nobody here.

As in, it's finished eating.

What are you guys up to now?
