01x05 - Phantoms

Post by bunniefuu »

[Heather] Legend has it

that a hundred years ago,

there was a man named

Samuel Graybill,

who was the richest man

in Texas.

He had a beautiful wife

and three happy children.

And he wanted to build

a majestic house in Carp.

But the land he chose

was believed to be cursed.

[wood creaking]

Graybill didn't believe

in curses

and built the house anyway.

After they moved in,

Graybill and his family

played a game every day.

When he came home,

he'd knock four times

and wait ten seconds

before he entered

[knocking on door]

so his perfect wife

and children

could come greet him

at the door.

Knock four times. Exactly four.

Then close your eyes

and count to ten.

What-what happens

after ten seconds?

Don't worry.

Everyone around here does it.

Okay.

[dog barking in distance]

[inhales]

[Heather] However,

one day he came home

and didn't knock,

so he could surprise his wife.

One

- [Heather] He snuck

into his bedroom

- Two

and found her

in the arms of another man.

Three

[screaming]

[Heather] In a fit of rage,

he k*lled his wife

- [woman screams]

- and his children,

and buried them

in the walls of the house.

In his grief, he hung himself

from the bell tower.

Now Graybill's ghost

curses all lovers

who enter the house, and they

will hear the bells ring

before their beloved one dies.

[bell rings]



Trying to figure

[Sarah] It's said that the first

Panic player resurrected

Graybill's ghost, and he cursed

all of those in love

so that they know real fear,

to see the one they love die.

- [girl] I knew it.

- Y'all still telling them

old ghost stories?

Used to give Ruby Anne

nightmares.

That's 'cause you told me

Graybill snatched little girls

who snitched on their

older sisters for sneaking out.

There ain't nothing scary about

that, if you ain't a snitch.

- [horn honking]

- [girl] Come on.

Don't get run over!

Like me again

[boy] Yeah, come on.

You're not supposed to run--

Hey, you're so slow.

Think fast.

Look at you, all dolled up.

What do you want?

Aw, I missed you, too.

[laughs softly] Okay, hey. Wait.

I was gonna go out

on my boat with my friends,

for a little cruise.

You want to join?

Look, Ray,

the other night,

I was pretty drunk,

and you were trying

to cheer me up, and we did

- something dumb.

- Mm-hmm.

End of story.

You sure about that?

Uh

thank you, anyway,

for the invite.

Just being friendly.

[Bo] Sherri, I'll be right back.

I'm going to get some beer.

Howdy.

See you in a bit.

- Hey, kid.

- [door closes]

- Why is it so dark in here?

- Why you think?

Again?

What do you want to bet

Lanie tried to suck the heat

out of her trailer

with the vacuum again,

blew the damn transformer?

[chuckles]

I saw Bo outside.

What'd he want?

Came around looking

like a dog lost his tail,

saying he misses me.

You're not gonna fall

for his sh*t again, are you?

He's going to be

right back, so

You better hurry up

and take a shower

while we still got

water in the tank.

Your room's hot as a fry-up.

[sighs]

- [Bo] Daddy's home.

- [Sherri] Hey, babe.

I missed you. Come here.

- [exhales]

- [Bo speaks indistinctly]

[Sherri laughs]

[Williams] Hey, Julie,

I'm gonna check out

that disturbance

at the Graybill house.

[Julie] [over radio] Copy that.

Careful out there.

[sighs]

[bottles clatter]

[wood creaking]

Oh!

Bill, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

I didn't see you.

[exhales]

Come on, you know

this is private property.

Ain't you got better things

to be doing?

You got to get your stuff

and get out of here

or I'm gonna have to take you in

for trespassing.

Trespassing?

W-Why don't you go after

the real f*ck-ups?

Hmm?

Can you just work with me, Bill?

[Little Bill] "Trespassing."

50 seconds before I see that.

I guess the law really is blind.

Dumb, too.

- 20 seconds.

- I got photos

that'll open your eyes

to this town.

The sickos, murderers.

I got proof.

Forgot y'all like your justice

with a blindfold on.

[laughs]

Time's up.

[exhales]

To our lady of the blind.

And justice for Abby Clark.

[sighs]

[Bishop] You're late again,

Hunt.

You got the money?

This is the last time.

You got it.

I mean it.

[indistinct chatter]

[Ray] Well, well, well.

If it isn't Heather Nill.

Change your mind?

Mm. Lost it.

How about some f*cking music,

huh? Let's get it going.

[Ruby Anne]

Finally.

- ♪

- [Tyler] Let's get

this party started.

All right, people.

[trainer] All right, buddy.

They're animals, so

You need a little slack

in that neck rope.

- You good?

- Mm-hmm.

- Great.

- [man] All right.

- He takes a lot of rein, now.

- Okay. All right.

[whinnies]

You're not superstitious,

are you, Dodge?

Lift on that rein, buddy.

[man] Stick it on, Dodge.

Don't you look down at me.

And I didn't take half,

I took the whole thing ♪

Escaping

Take to her.

[cheering]

Stuck in the machine ♪

The machine

[whooping]

[cheering, applause]

Hell of a ride!

[laughs]

The machine ♪

The machine ♪♪

[Natalie] Well,

that was amazing.

How'd you find me?

I saw Dayna this morning.

She told me you'd be over here.

She also said

she used to compete.

She used to win.

Yeah, best barrel racer

in the state.

Could've been in the country.

- Oh.

- Hard to picture now, huh?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Nat, I, um, know

what you're trying to do.

You don't have to do this.

- What are you talking about?

- You're trying

to get me to like you.

You don't have to do that.

I told you that I would be

your partner, you know?

- Mm.

- I don't make promises

that I can't keep.

Mm.

I don't need a reason

to be your friend, Dodge.

All right, fine.

I'll admit it.

I've got a thing for cowboys.

[stifled laugh]

- I notice you ♪

- [laughter]

- When you walk

into the room ♪

- Stop.

But you kind of hang around

- You want to try?

- Ooh, I don't know.

My mom used to say

that fishing was for narcs.

You know?

Baiting and entrapment.

[laughs]

- [Tyler] All right.

- [Ruby Anne] See what you got.

You close with your mom?

[laughter in distance]

Um

No, not really.

I don't know,

she's just kind of stuck.

Think she's maybe so stuck

that she doesn't even know

how to move forward anymore.

How about your old man?

Um

My mom got pregnant

right out of high school.

[chuckles] He'd send me,

like, birthday cards.

Sometimes they would

even come on my birthday.

- Mm?

- [laughs]

She told me

that he worked overseas,

but then she got pregnant

with Lily, and

it turns out he had just been

living in Huntsville

the whole time.

- Same guy?

- Mm. Same guy.

- Same story.

- Wow.

I don't know.

People say that

love is blind, but it's not.

It's just really, really

f*cking stupid.

[Natalie]

What happened to your dad?

Dad was a rodeo champion.

He was one of the best

in the circuit, actually.

Mom would always say that,

for Dad, the rodeo was like

going to church.

Well

They split up, when Dayna and I

were in grade school,

and, uh, you know,

he'd-he'd be around

for a few weeks or months

at a time and then gone,

and th well, we wouldn't

really know where he went

until soon he'd pop back up

at the house with a new trophy.

Mom, you know, she, um

she knew about the other women,

but

the trophies were with us,

so that meant

that his heart was with us.

[Heather] What about you?

What about your parents?

My mom's dead.

My dad's in Sayersville.

Has been for my entire life.

Did your dad really sh**t

that ranger in the back?

Did he do all the things

they said he did?

You know, my whole life, nobody

has ever asked me that question.

Really?

Mm.

He says he didn't.

But who the f*ck knows?

Innocent or guilty,

he is serving

life without parole.

Luke raised me up.

Half the sh*t he ever did

he did for me.

[Natalie] I was

the new kid once.

- I didn't have any friends.

- [chuckles] Oh, come on.

- I don't believe it. Yeah.

- No, I'm being serious.

- I didn't have any friends.

- Mm-hmm.

In first grade,

I made up two best friends.

Lynley and Willow.

And all three of us were ghosts.

And we'd play tricks

on all the live kids.

No one would see us,

'cause we were invisible.

Right.

Right.

[chuckles]

And then, on the first day

of second grade,

Heather told me

she liked my tattoo.

It was a sticker.

If even one person sees you,

you don't count

as invisible anymore.

- [squeals]

- [giggles]

[squeals, laughs]

- They look like

they're having a great time.

- [grunts]

Yeah, well, why should

they have all the fun?

- [grunting loudly]

- Wait.

- Stop. Stop.

- What?

Wait. Stop.

- Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

- Wait, stop. Don't!

- Hut!

- [screams]

[laughing]

[yelping, laughing]

Wake up ♪

5:00 a.m. ♪

Moonstruck ♪

Woman again ♪

Hey. What are you doing?

Like sugar in tea ♪

Half-life ♪

A skeleton key ♪

Going with the current.

Shut my eyes ♪

The world ♪♪

Right. Granola bars,

flashlight,

- hand sanitizer [inhales]

- [groans]

Vodka. Very important.

What, you worried

about the challenge tonight?

Hey.

You're still upset

with the whole

[inhales]

Bishop thing?

Well, you know

Leela's not gonna last.

[exhales]

If I tell you something,

will you promise

not to judge me?

[exhales]

I did something very stupid.

And I am afraid

that I'm gonna keep doing it.

[Bishop] Nat? Are you ready?

[Natalie] Upstairs!

[whispers]

What the f*ck

[whispering] You guys

can't keep avoiding each other.

- Shh. Stop.

- [knock]

Hey.

Know what I love?

The fact that we can all be

in the same room

without feeling

the need to talk.

At all.

For a week.

So

This should be fun.

[indistinct police transmission]

Cortez, we got a problem.

Only one?

We finally finished

going through the footage

at the granary.

Now, we figured we'd just ID

the judges

that put up the graffiti

- and be done with it.

- What do you mean?

- You couldn't ID them?

- No.

I mean we couldn't find them.

At least,

we couldn't find their car.

Hmm. Well,

maybe they came on bikes?

Well, if they did,

then they didn't take the road.

And the bike path is on

the other side of Millet Lane,

- and all that land

in between

- Belongs to the Moores.

Exactly. Now, that seems

pretty crazy to chance,

especially for some kids

that have something to hide,

even if they stayed

in the trees.

And either way,

why go through the headache?

Well, because maybe,

for these kids,

it wasn't a headache or a risk.

[exhales]

How old is Bishop Moore?

He graduated with Natalie.

Now you see

why we got a problem.



Just be out by dark, okay?

- Hey.

- Hey, you.

Mmm.

Do you think he's gonna be okay?

You know,

now that he's all by himself?

He's made it this far.

[Sarah] I told him

to get a room tonight

at the Homeaway,

before the challenge.

But, um,

he just seemed really high.

And now he's got all this money,

and it's, like

- How'd he get

that kind of money?

- [sighs]

He was working at the Moores'

last week.

He took something, and they

paid large to get it back.

- I bet the judge

has plenty to hide.

- [exhales]

His son, too.

[Myra] There's got to be

a lot of secrets in that house.

[birds singing]





[rattling]

[exhales]



Oh, sh*t.

Is Bishop a judge?

[door opens in distance]

[Moore] I left the office

just to come home.

[Cortez] Well, they seem

concerned about it, so

I'll be honest with you, Jim--

I'm beginning to think

you only ring up with bad news.

[Cortez] [laughs]

You and me both.

Look, I know

how busy you are, so

thanks for letting me come over

on such short notice.

Well, no point in wasting time,

if you think

Bishop knows something.

[Cortez] Well, we know that the

game is organized by two judges.

And we got reason to believe

that Bishop's one of 'em.

Well, if you don't mind,

I'd-I'd like to search his room.

And here I thought Bishop wasn't

gonna follow me to the bench.

Well, right now, we're just

following up on some leads.

You know, we really can't afford

to make the same mistakes

again this year.

Yeah, you can't, certainly.

[Cortez] We're on

the same side, George.

[Moore] Like I said

on the phone,

you're welcome

to have a look around.

- f*ck. f*ck.

- But if Bishop's

hiding something,

it's not gonna be in his room.

That boy has a streak

of the wild.

He's in those trees

rain, sleet or broil.

Does more hiding than a mole.

Yeah, well, like I said

on the phone,

Bishop's cell phone records

would be a big help.

I said I'd think about it.

[panting]

[indistinct chatter]

[Natalie] Good talk.

[man] Hey, Nat.

Okay, look

[clears throat]

I'm sorry that I was

weird with Leela.

I'm sorry that I didn't, like,

throw a parade

for you or whatever,

but I don't know why you're

acting like you're mad at me.

Oh, really?

Yeah, really.

Okay, I-I'll give you a hint.

Why were you mad when you

found out about me and Leela?

No, I wasn't I wasn't mad.

I was just I was surprised.

You know, we're not supposed

to keep secrets from each other.

- [horn honks]

- [Ray] Yoo-hoo!

Dipshit! Move up!

Ignore him.

That's just how he is.

You know what?

Maybe you will win Panic.

Games come easy to you.

What are you talking

about, Bishop?

[Ray's horn honking]

- [Heather clears throat]

- Do me a favor.

Tell your boyfriend

to back the f*ck up.

I'm leaving.

[Ray] Yoo-hoo!

[horn honks]

[Ray] Let's go! Come on!

[car door closes]

[Diggins] Congratulations

to all of you

for completing the challenge

at Spurlock's Ranch.

Up until now, you've been

competitors, but tonight,

you become enemies.

It is Panic tradition

to screw each other

at the Graybill House challenge.

And we all came for that reason.

[laughter]

[Diggins] The rules are simple.

You guys stay inside

till we come and get you.

Players' points

will be deducted when

you submit proof

of them being scared shitless.

For tonight and tonight only,

keep those cameras on.

- Sabotage is highly encouraged.

- Yes.

As a reminder,

Heather is still in the lead

- with 200 points.

- [overlapping chatter]

Dodge is closing up the gap

- with 175.

- [whoops] Not bad.

[Summer] Everyone else

is holding up at 150.

And last but not least,

there is a 50-point bonus

for whoever can solve

the riddles in the blood.

Uh, what do you what do you

mean, "in the blood"?

- [woman] What is she

talking about?

- Blood always tells.

- [indistinct chatter]

- What is she talking about?

Good luck, players.

Okay. Let's get this over with.

Where should we start?

I'm freaked out, though.

[overlapping chatter]

[door creaks]

[indistinct murmuring]

[Heather] Ooh. The Graybills.

[Dodge] There's the blood.

[Drew] Anyone else creeped out

by the random blood?

[Troy] You gonna freak out

on me, Drew?

Part of the riddle?

- [Shawna] Must be.

- [Heather] Yeah, no sh*t,

Sherlock.

"Dorothy lost her ruby shoes.

The wizard lost his head.

The king was counting reasons

for clues inside the dead."

Wizard. "Jimmy Wizard"

was Jim's nickname.

When Abby started dating him,

some of us started

calling her "Dorothy."

[Dodge] "Clues inside the dead."

Guess we have

to find the bodies?

Maybe it's a-a warning.

Let's see what else we can find.

[Natalie] Why don't we go

that way?

- We should stick together.

- You want to check the kitchen?

[man] Let's go look upstairs.

[indistinct chatter]

[Heather] Let's go

the other way.

- [wooden creaking]

- [electricity hissing]

I'll just, uh wait here.

By myself I hope.

[Drew gasps]

[laughs]

I could report you for that.

But consider it

on the house. Maybe.

[door creaks]

[gasps]

[creaking]

- You all right?

- [Natalie] Yeah.

I'm okay.

Just freaked me out a bit.

[Dodge] Stupid

What are you doing?

[glass breaking, clanking]

[Heather] Hey, guys,

over here.

- Yeah.

- What is it?

There you are.

Check out the bloody riddle.

"One flew over a rooftop,

one flew into the moon.

Track down the clue

inside the Who

whose end Ed mirrors soon."

That sounds like

a nursery rhyme, doesn't it?

Maybe we should be

looking for books. Yeah?

Good luck, y'all.

The noose.

Mirror. If you look

at the message in a mirror,

"soon" spelled backwards

is "noose."

That's the "who"--

the noosed man.

[clinking]

All right.

"The Cook and five to dinner,

make six to tally late;

the final count's the winner,

behind the hands that wait."

"Cook" is capitalized.

Um, maybe the clue's

in the kitchen?

[Dodge] Let's check it out.

- Your turn.

- Cool.

- [door opens]

- [wooden creaking]

- [woman] Is this clear?

- [woman 2] Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[Natalie] You see any clues?

[Dodge] I don't see

anything on the walls.

[distant, indistinct chatter]

[thumping on wall]

- Hey, Nat?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

[wooden scraping]

God.

[indistinct, distant chatter]

[clicking]

[wooden creaking]

[panting]

[clears throat]

That's what I call

"mood lighting."

Aren't you afraid of the curse?

Only if you're afraid

of falling in love with me.

[indistinct, distant chatter]

[soft, wooden creaking]

[distant laughter]

- Boo.

- [gasps]

[sighs]

For the record, that did not

count as a startle or a scare.

What?

Oh.

I always keep a stash on me.

You never know when

you're gonna need one, right?

Right.

You okay?

Mm.

Are you cold or something?

Mm-mm. I'm good.

This isn't your first time,

Why? Isn't everyone supposed

I'm not a virgin, okay?

Seriously.

You do this all the time,

What's the big deal?

All right.

Put your clothes on.

Are you, like, mad

at me or something?

I'm not mad.

But you f*ck, like, everyone,

and you're not gonna f*ck me?

Whatever you say, Heather.

No, Ray. You've had sex

with, like, a hundred girls,

and you're not gonna

have sex with me?

Yeah, well,

I'm not that good at math.

Oh, so this was just, like,

an accounting mistake?

Just a mistake.

[door creaks open]

[footsteps approaching]

What the f*ck?

Yo.

What the f*ck were you doing?

Are you kidding me?

Do you need me to call someone?

A psychiatrist? Cops?

I don't know.

A f*cking assassin

- so I don't have

to sh**t you myself?!

- Wow.

I love how you always know how

to make me feel so much better.

- Were you just

hooking up with Ray Hall?

- Shh.

Can we please talk

about this later?

Absolutely not. No.

[door creaks]

Oh, dude, there's a basement.

Wow. An actual sh*thole.

[Tyler] Yo, Ray.

You want to smoke or what?

Shut the f*cking door.

You want to smoke in a sh*thole?

No, I'm cool.

Ah.

Well, if you change your mind

[door creaks]

[Heather] Okay.

Look, it was a mistake.

What do you mean, a mistake?

Make a wrong turn

onto his face?

I know. I know, okay? I just

I lost my mind

for a couple of days.

Guess it just felt good

to have a distraction.

Yeah, well, I bet a distraction

was exactly the point.

- What do you mean?

- Hello?

You're in the lead.

f*ck. You don't

You don't think that?

Oh, f*ck. God,

I am so f*cking stupid!

And I actually kind of

thought that he liked me.

[Tyler] What the f*ck

is this sh*t?

It's a f*cking junkyard

down here.

Yo, Ray, check it out.

- [loud thud]

- sh*t! [gasps]

Oh! [laughs]

[clears throat]

f*ck!

- f*ck. My phone died.

- [Ray] Oh, no.

- [Tyler] f*ck it.

- How are you gonna

find your d*ck?

- Ha. Very funny.

- [Shawna] Hey.

Check it out.

[Natalie] Dead man?

Why does it have to be gendered?

[Natalie and Heather converse

indistinctly]

[Shawna]

Want to have a little fun?

[indistinct chatter continues]

[footsteps]

Hey.

[both laughing]

Oh, God.

Okay, someone's locked us in.

All right, well,

Dodge'll be back soon.

Yeah.

"Five to dinner, six late."

"Behind the hands."

Behind the hands.

Behind the hands.

See this? I think

this generator back-feeds

into that electric box.

Leave it alone, Tyler.

Did you bring your charger?

I said leave it.

"Emma Campbell, Eddie Douglas,

John Davis Hale,

Abby Clark, Jimmy Cortez."

These are the people

who've died in the game.

And God said

"Let there be light."

[engine starts]

[rhythmic whirring and rattling]

[hissing]

Turn it off!

f*ck! Oh!

[Dodge]

I guess I won.

[loud electrical hiss]

Oh, f*ck! Little Bill?

[loud electrical pop]

Dodge? Dodge?

[shouting] Guys, help!

Oh, sh*t. Ray,

I think Little Bill is

[thudding, clattering]

[Tyler] Oh, f*ck!

We need to leave.

- Now!

- Right.

[Ray] Come on!

Come on!

[car door opens, closes]

[car engine starts]

[distant expl*si*n]

[car engine retreating]

[Sarah]

Oh, my God.

The f*ck?

- [distant, loud footsteps]

- [indistinct chatter]

[woman screaming]

[Ray] Fire! Fire!

Everybody out!

- We're still in here!

- Guys? Guys?

- Guys?

- Wait.

- Hello?

- Hello. We're still in here!

- Hurry.

- [Drew] Come on, hurry.

All right, all right.

Set him down. Set him down.

[Shawna] Okay. Okay.

Watch his head. Watch his head.

- [Drew] Oh, boy.

- Okay.

[Drew] All right.

His eyes are moving.

Dodge? Buddy? Dodge?

Dodge?

- Hey, Dodge?

- Everyone okay?

[Tyler] What happened to him?

Where's Heather?
