Die Alone (2024)

[bunniefuu]

(sentimental music)

- [Ethan] They say when you die,

your life flashes

before your eyes.

The people you loved...

The good moments...

And the bad...

- [Emma] I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- [Ethan] My memories

are a confusing blur.

Maybe it's for the best.

Because right now, my life is

something I'd rather forget.

(sentimental music)

(g*nsh*t booming)

(crickets chirping)

(ominous music)

- [TV Announcer] As

cases surge globally

more than tripling

in the last week,

most governments have issued

shelter in place orders

for all non-essential workers.

Despite ongoing uncertainty

as to the virus' source,

the scientific community

agrees, the transmission occurs-

- [Emma] Hey, you all right?

(alarm blaring)

- Jesus Christ.

- Another alert.

Nearby.

- [Ethan] We left too late.

- [TV Announcer] The three

early warning signs of infection

are severe headaches-

- [Emma] Ethan, I can drive.

(mysterious music)

- Hello?

(Emma screaming)

(mysterious music)

Emma!

Where is everyone?

Hello!

(mysterious music)

Emma!

Hello!

(mysterious music)

(mysterious music continues)

(tires screeching)

Hey, hey!

- You lost?

- Yeah, I just woke up, I

don't know where the f*ck I am.

(tense music)

(b*ll*ts crackling)

- Come on, get out here!

(g*nshots booming)

(tense music)

(g*nshots booming)

(mystifying music)

- Okay.

- [Mae] sh*t.

You blind b*tch.

- I don't even know these guys,

I'm just looking

for my girlfriend.

- Stop staring, it's rude.

You shouldn't be out here alone.

- [Ethan] You are.

- Yeah. Well, I'm not an idiot.

Okay.

- I was in a car

accident, I was with Emma,

we were driving to the lake.

(console beeping)

- Yes!

- Where are we?

- Gimme a hand.

- What if he wakes up?

- Happy?

You okay?

- Yeah, yeah, I just...

(body thudding)

(enigmatic music)

(soft music)

(shrill music)

(curios music)

- [Mae] Look who

finally woke up.

How's your head?

- I'm...

- I'm Mae.

- I'm Ethan.

- You sure?

- I've got amnesia.

- No sh*t.

I left some clothes for

you on top of the dresser.

You must have missed them.

Unless this is a style choice.

- I'll be right back.

(curious music)

- Ooh, looking good.

- It smells delicious.

- It's not ready,

do not touch it.

My generator.

- Kinetic energy.

- Clever boy.

So what do you remember?

(cryptic music)

- [Ethan] My girlfriend

and I gathered our supplies

and headed to our cabin.

We were gonna wait it out there.

It's isolated, safe.

And hopefully she's

there waiting for me.

(cryptic music)

- A piece of advice, keep

your amnesia to yourself.

People today are looking

for weaknesses in others.

- What happened?

- [Mae] Well, we've

been threatening

to let viruses wipe

us out for years.

One finally called our bluff.

Some say it's the planet's

attempt to reclaim balance

by k*lling us all off.

- [Ethan] In days?

How is that possible?

- Nature's a powerful b*tch.

f*ck!

I'll be right back.

Don't touch anything.

- [Ethan] Mae?

I should probably head out.

(piano key playing)

- Hey!

What did I say?

Don't touch anything!

- Who are you?

(foreboding music)

Mae?

(foreboding music)

Mae, there's something

or someone over there.

- That's Myrtle, she's fine,

just don't get too close.

- Shouldn't we-

- I said she's fine.

Live and let live.

(foreboding music)

Geez.

- Can I help?

- You an expert with generators?

- Actually, I think I am.

- Have at it.

Well, what do you think?

- [Ethan] First of all, whoever

set this up is an idiot.

No offense.

- None taken.

Way to go!

Hey, hey, hey.

That ego of yours is

going to your head.

Okay, come on, let's

move it and shake it.

- Mae, I wasn't kidding, I

need to go and find Emma.

(enigmatic music)

(Mae chuckling)

- We're gonna to

eat good tonight.

- Is that a possum?

Are you alone out here?

- Most days.

- You have a husband?

- You got a point?

- Oh, just wondering if

it's safe out here alone.

- I'm not alone, I got Myrtle.

(enigmatic music)

Don't worry, I'm

not gonna k*ll you.

- I know.

- [Mae] Besides, look at me,

you could beat me

to death with ease.

- I don't want that.

- But do not go snooping around,

unless you have a

death wish, okay?

Because every room in

here is booby-trapped.

I mean it.

- Define booby-

(g*n clicking)

Jesus!

What are you doing?

- sh**t me.

- No.

- Good boy.

You see that?

Red means dead.

If you pulled that trigger,

I'd be dead right now.

Hungry?

(enigmatic music)

- [Ethan] That was really good.

It's getting kind of

late, I should probably-

- [Mae] Ethan, you know,

I hate to ask you this,

but I could just

really use your help.

- With what?

Ah

And I don't hardly know her

But think I could love her

Crimson and clover

Ah

When she come walking over

Now I've been

waitin' to show her

You gotta be kidding me.

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Yeah

My, my such a sweet thing

I wanna do everything

What a beautiful feeling

Crimson and clover

Over and over

Mae, it's late, I

should hit the road.

- [Mae] Really?

You're gonna let an old

lady dance all by herself?

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

- Listen, Mae, I

should probably-

- You play cards?

(gentle piano music)

- Two of hearts.

No, thanks, I'm good.

- Harder to k*ll

when you're sober.

That's okay.

I love a challenge.

- Maybe you've had enough.

- Bullshit.

(Mae laughing)

Gotcha.

- I used to be

good at this game.

- [Mae] Yeah, well,

you're a terrible liar.

Your face, no secrets.

- Yeah?

What about your face?

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

- Yeah.

It's getting late.

- Mae, I appreciate you

taking me in, feeding me,

but I promised Emma-

- Nothing good happens

after dark, Ethan.

- I promised Emma,

I would protect her.

- Have a good night's sleep.

We'll find her tomorrow.

Trust me, Myrtle is the least

of your worries out there.

This is where you say thank you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Good night.

Go to bed.

(uneasy music)

- Say it back.

If we ever get separated, meet

at the cabin, Candle Lake.

- [Emma] Got it.

(uneasy music)

(tires screeching)

(uneasy music)

- Wake up.

(menacing music)

- Emma.

Emma!

(glass shattering)

(menacing music)

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

- [Jolene] Drop it.

(crowbar thudding)

Sam.

Stay there, honey.

- I don't want any trouble.

I'm just looking

for my girlfriend.

- [Jolene] Emma?

- Yes.

Have you seen her?

- No.

You are out there yelling

her name like an idiot.

(footsteps thudding)

(menacing music)

(creature growling)

(Jolene screaming)

(creature growling)

(flesh squelching)

(menacing music)

(Jolene screaming)

(g*n clicking)

(flesh squelching)

Okay.

Eyes closed.

Yeah?

(thunder crackling)

- [Ethan] How is it still alive?

I bashed its skull in.

- Alive.

That's generous.

Out here, most are

pretty far gone,

more plant than people now,

so yeah, head kills

don't really work.

If I had any b*ll*ts,

you'd already be dead.

- Oh, appreciate the honesty.

What do they want?

- [Jolene] Same as

any of us, I guess.

Food.

Mostly food.

I'm Jolene.

That's my son, Sam.

- Ethan.

- Where'd you get a cast?

- I was in an accident

and my girlfriend Emma,

she's a doctor.

- A doctor.

That's lucky.

When's the last

time you saw her?

- [Ethan] A few days.

- [Jolene] I hate

to break it to you,

but we have been here for weeks

and I haven't seen anyone,

except the plant parade.

- She'll be here.

This is our spot.

- Yeah, don't be so sure.

It's just...

Hope is dangerous.

He thinks his dad

is coming back.

- What happened to him?

- [Jolene] The same thing

that happened to everyone.

I made a choice.

(calm music)

Distract me, Ethan,

tell me something good.

- Like what?

- You and Emma.

(loving music)

- [Ethan] This may sound weird,

and I know it's not true,

but I feel like I've

known her my whole life.

When I close my eyes

and I think of her,

it's not the big

moments that stand out,

it's the dumb little things.

I think of how we take care of

each other, amuse each other,

even in the bad times.

Unfortunately, in our

dumpster fire of a world,

the bad times started

to overshadow the good.

Wherever you turned,

people were at their worst,

violent, cruel, fed up.

(dire music)

Honestly, when I heard

the virus was plant-based,

I wasn't surprised.

It's like the planet finally

had enough of our sh*t.

Hey.

- [News Anchor] After

the deadliest day yet,

social media is dubbing the

infected, "The Reclaimed"

based on a popular

conspiracy theory

that nature is purging itself

from mankind's destruction.

Disturbing visuals are going

viral at an alarming rate.

- [Ethan] Is she okay?

sh*t, that looks bad.

- [Reporter] Excuse me.

(woman growling)

- [Emma] Whatever this is,

it's not turning around.

We need to get the

hell outta here.

- [Ethan] Tonight.

- [Emma] Tonight.

- [Ethan] We got out.

I remember that much.

- [Jolene] Ethan.

Ethan.

- Yeah?

- You can sleep.

- I'm good.

- [Jolene] Honestly, I'll

take the first watch.

I'm not even tired.

Ethan.

- Yeah.

- If you mess with me or

my kid, I'll k*ll you.

(thunder rumbling)

Okay?

(heart monitor beeping)

(Emma giggling)

- Ethan, what's wrong?

(creature growling)

If anything goes sideways,

meet at the cabin.

(spine-tingling music)

Wake up.

(scary music)

- Ethan!

(scary music)

(scary music continues)

(creature growling)

(scary music)

(creature growling)

(emotional music)

- Hey, just try to relax.

- Was that a person?

- Used to be.

(g*nshots booming)

- Was that necessary?

- Yeah, actually.

These things are unstoppable.

I just bought us some time.

Stay here.

(b*ll*ts booming)

(odd music)

Find what you're looking for?

My name is Mae by the way.

- Hi, baby.

If you're watching this,

I'm guessing we're apart.

You're probably confused.

Well, more so than usual.

Your amnesia, your

amnesia is getting worse.

Erratic.

I keep losing you.

I mean, I don't know

if I can keep this up.

(melancholy music)

The world isn't

what it used to be.

People are changing

for the worst.

I guess what I'm saying

is if you're lost

and I'm not with you-

- [Ethan] No, no, no!

- Hey, hey!

Don't do that!

You will draw them

out, I'm serious.

I'm serious.

I have a charger

back at my place.

It's okay, come on, let's go.

- Wow, nice truck.

- Well, it would be

if some idiot hadn't

drained the battery.

- What?

- I'm gonna wipe your face.

- Sorry I was weird back there.

I have amnesia.

- Yeah, I know.

We've done this before.

- We have?

- How are you feeling?

- My head is swimming.

I'm Ethan, by the way.

- Mae, like I said.

Well, let's charge that

phone of yours, shall we?

Oh, sh*t.

f*ck!

- Can you get another pair?

- Do you know how many

people I had to k*ll

for that prescription?

Hop on.

- Hop on?

- Get on the back of the bike.

Let's go.

Come on.

Steady right there.

Okay, put your feet up.

- [Ethan] Okay.

- [Mae] Lift your feet up.

- [Ethan] They're

up, they're up.

(tender music)

How far is your house?

- Far enough.

- You wanna switch?

- You're dreaming if I think

I'm gonna let you drive.

(tender music)

My feet are k*lling me.

I hope this stupid girl

of yours is worth it.

- She is.

(Mae chuckling)

What's so funny?

- I don't know, you

just seem so fired up.

- I am.

I'm not stopping

until I find her.

Don't you have anyone?

- Sort of.

He died.

- I'm sorry.

- No, you're not.

- What's your story?

- What's my story?

Are you serious?

Do you really care or are

you just making small talk?

- I need a distraction

from my thoughts, I guess.

- At least you're honest.

My story.

I don't know.

I live alone.

I have a great garden.

I hunt and I take in strangers.

- Tell me something

personal, something real.

- I'm lonely and kind

of wish I was dead.

- That's a-

- An overshare?

- An overshare.

- [Mae] You asked me.

(inquisitive music)

You okay?

- [Announcer] This

is not a test.

This is the emergency

alert system

reporting a mandatory

evacuation order

for all local residents.

Gather food, water,

and medical supplies.

- [Mae] Okay, 30 seconds tops.

This place looks sketchy.

- Well?

- [Mae] What do you think?

Admit it, we're f*cked.

- We'll be okay,

I'll protect us.

- More like the

other way around.

(frightening music)

- Emma!

(g*nsh*t booming)

- You actually did it!

- Don't sound so surprised.

- You okay?

My name is Mae.

- I know.

I must have tripped is all.

- [Mae] No, you passed

out, that's what happened.

Are you sure you're okay?

- I'm fine.

I'm just hungry, I think.

(peaceful music)

- Finally.

(inauspicious music)

- [Ethan] What?

- Hey!

We're armed.

Get out or I will sh**t you!

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Please, I rather you didn't.

I just, I saw your

house, you had power.

I just, I figured-

- You'd break in.

- [Tom] No, I knocked.

But you know how it is, it

could have been abandoned.

I'm Tom.

And you are?

- Skeptical.

- [Tom] That's fair.

'Sup?

- You alone?

- I lost my wife, like

somewhere in the area

and I'm just, I'm looking

for her, you know?

- You got a g*n?

- No.

- Out here you don't have a

g*n, are you f*cking stupid?

- Come on, lady, now

you're just being mean.

I have one g*n.

Just one.

- Just one?

- That's it.

I promise.

- Pat him down.

- You wanna tell your

mom to chill out?

- She's not my mom.

- Look, I didn't come here

for any trouble, all right?

I'm just, I'm

looking for answers.

And honestly, any

food you could spare,

I mean, you know how tough

it is out here, right?

Or maybe you don't.

I mean, you have kale.

- You know, Tom,

trust is earned.

One hot meal in

exchange for one chore.

You got it?

- Yeah.

Define chore.

- Well, I hate to

ask, but it's rare

that I have two strong

men at my disposal.

There's a few things

I can't do by myself.

- I'm yours.

Hey, did you also think she

was gonna ask for a three-way?

- What?

No.

- I'm just kidding.

How do you two know each other?

- I lost someone too.

She's helping me find her.

- Sorry to hear.

(Emma screaming)

You all right?

I'm gonna go take a leak,

I'll be back in one second.

- Hey, boys.

- Wow, lemonade.

- [Mae] Fresh lemons.

- Anything else in here?

- Just poison.

Who's hungry?

- Hey, do you have

anywhere I can wash up?

- Yeah, there's a

sink right here.

Help yourself.

- [Tom] Thank you.

It smells great.

- Thank you.

Say you're not hungry.

- I'm starving, I can

barely see straight.

- Say you're not hungry.

I'll cook for you later.

- Mae.

- Do what I f*cking say.

Let's eat.

(mellow piano music)

- God damn, Mae, I haven't

eaten like this in years.

- You're welcome.

(stomach grumbling)

Wow.

Hello.

Is that your stomach?

Are you sure you don't want any?

- I'm good.

I'm just not hungry.

- Why don't we finish

this bottle of wine off?

What do you think?

- [Tom] Me and you?

Who am I to say no?

(Tom chuckling)

- Welcome.

I'm gonna clear these plates.

Let me, excuse me, let

me grab that from you.

- Thank you.

When was the last time

you saw her, your girl?

- I don't know you.

- Has it been days, weeks?

This is Frannie, Fran, my lady.

She wouldn't fall

prey to the reclaimed,

but she just

disappeared 10 days ago.

She was foraging in the area,

mentioned seeing a

house with power.

That's the last time I saw her.

In old times, if you

were gone for two weeks,

I mean, you're considered dead.

There's no question about it.

But now, with no

communication, you never know,

your person, they could

be out there for years.

And unfortunately, the

reality is sometimes

you're better off not

finding them at all.

(Emma screaming)

(glass shattering)

- [Mae] Hey, it's okay.

Let's get you into

the other room.

Come on.

- [Tom] You're gonna need

to eat something, my friend.

- [Mae] Hey.

- I just need to take a nap.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Help me get him up.

Hey, hey.

- Okay.

Hey, Mae.

I will take that g*n.

(brooding music)

This is a nice piece

of hardware, grandma.

- I'll take that back when

you're done, of course.

- But of course.

What did you do to him?

I promise you, I'm

not f*cking around.

You do think I'm stupid.

- No.

I think you're sleepy.

- You did it.

You crazy b*tch,

you did poison me.

- No, I sedated you.

Fun fact about Ativan.

- Yeah?

- It works way past

its expiration date,

but it does have

some side effects.

- Yeah, what's that?

- Headaches.

Ethan, Ethan.

Hey, hey, stay with me, okay?

Stay with me.

I'll be right back.

f*ck.

Ethan, it's okay, stay

calm, I'll be right there.

(anxiety-inducing music)

(door creaking)

- [The Fox] Tom.

Tom.

- [Mae] Coming, Ethan.

- Mae, run!

- I hope you don't mind,

we let ourselves in.

Grab the g*n.

- It's insulin.

I'm a diabetic.

- Keep lying.

- [The Fox] Maybe

we should sh**t him.

See how she reacts.

- Yeah, go ahead, see if I care.

He's just another sucker.

- [Tom] Wait, wait.

No.

We're gonna search

this entire house

and we're gonna find some

proof that Frannie was here.

And then we're gonna

f*cking k*ll you.

You, let's go.

I'm gonna search every

room in this house.

Wolf, watch her.

She's a lot.

I'm telling you,

Ethan, she drugged us,

she k*lled our wives.

- You don't know that.

- Wake up, kid!

She's not who you think she is.

We just gotta find proof.

(anxiety-inducing music)

- [The Wolf] I'll make it quick

if you help speed this up.

- Where's the fun in that?

- That's my kind of girl.

(suspenseful music)

- [Tom] God dammit!

Next room!

- [The Fox] What's in the barn?

- Dirt.

- She's nervous.

- No, it's just my

resting b*tch face.

- Let's see about that.

Keep an eye on her.

(suspenseful music)

- [Tom] Hey, this will go

a lot faster if you helped.

Is that yours?

- It was Emma's.

- [Tom] Sorry to

hear that, brother.

Let's go do something about it.

(suspenseful music)

(piano key playing)

- [Tom] Hey, I think

I found something.

Hey, Mae, you

wanna explain this?

What are these, k*ll trophies?

- [The Fox] Wait.

- Tom.

- What?

- Isn't that Frannie's?

(suspenseful music)

- [Mae] Hey, hey, Ethan.

Ethan, put the g*n down.

- You k*lled Emma.

- No.

No, I didn't.

- Is she dead?

- [Mae] Ethan.

- [Ethan] Look at me.

Is she dead?

When?

- A long, long time ago.

(suspenseful music)

- Grab Wolf.

Let's finish this.

- How long have I had amnesia?

- You have amnesia?

That's very interesting, Mae.

Hey, kid, can you tell

me about your accident?

Did you break your arm?

You remember?

Can you tell me about it?

I'll take that.

What are we gonna find in there?

Is that where you put her?

My wife?

(suspenseful music)

You tell him or I will.

- Tell me what?

- [The Fox] Hey,

Wolf, what'd you find?

(suspenseful music)

- Am I sick?

- No, you're not.

You're not sick, Ethan.

You're dead.

(suspenseful music)

Hey.

Hey.

(suspenseful music)

- It's Hunter!

(expl*si*n booming)

(dramatic music)

(creature growling)

(dramatic music)

- [Mae] Just try to breathe.

- [Tom] You said you wanted

your g*n back, right?

Let's start with the b*ll*ts.

(g*nsh*t booming)

(Tom screaming)

(dramatic music)

(somber music)

(Ethan vomiting)

- It's okay.

Don't worry, you won't remember.

(somber music)

Hey.

How'd you sleep?

- Good, I think.

- Do you remember me?

No.

Do you know who I am?

- A friend?

- We're running out of food.

I need to hunt, I

could use your help.

- [Ethan] Sure.

- Get dressed.

I'll meet you downstairs.

- Hey, where'd you go?

- Where'd I what?

- You gotta stay with me, okay?

Don't, just leave it.

- You should go.

Leave me.

- Never, you hear me?

Okay, just try to keep up.

(pensive music)

If there's anyone, just

let me do the talking.

Hello?

We come in peace.

- Says a gal with a g*n.

- It's for protection.

- [Kai] Oh, I understand.

In fact, I got some

protection of my own.

Not that.

I was referring to the skilled,

tiny person with a p*stol

pointed at your heads.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- [Kai] Why don't we start

with some introductions?

I'm Kai.

That's my home.

And that pretty darling

right there is Caroline.

I like to call her,

"Little Miss Never Miss."

- I'm Emma, and this is Ethan.

- [Kai] She always do

all the talking, Ethan?

- I can speak for myself.

- I'd say that too.

- We'd be grateful for

anything, for food, shelter.

Please.

- Where you coming from?

- We were in a crash.

- Either of you sick?

Prove it.

Take your clothes off.

That's my offer,

take it or leave it.

Pants too.

- Come on, man.

You happy?

- I don't know, what

do you think, Caroline?

- They look normal.

- [Kai] Normal.

Run in and tell mama bear

we have some company.

- [Caroline] Why are they naked?

- [Kai] You know why.

What's our motto?

- Trust, but verify.

- Trust, but verify,

that's right.

- [Caroline] 'Cause of

what happened to Bobby.

- [Kai] Run inside now.

You can get dressed.

Go ahead.

There are rules, you break

'em, you're gone, or worse.

- Understood.

- Good.

Let's get you kids fed.

- You okay?

(clock ticking)

(Caroline giggling)

- [Kai] Thank you, sweetheart.

I imagine you two are thirsty.

We have a well on the property,

it's not pretty, but it's safe.

Unless you like

something a bit stronger.

- No, thank you.

- Nice cabinet.

- Oh, yeah, we had a barn

collapse on the property.

You know, just the

usual decay and time.

I didn't want to let her go

so I dismantled and denailed

and before you know it,

I got a coffee table here

and shelves there.

I reclaimed it.

Kind of like what the

planet's doing to us,

if you believe what the

news says, which I don't.

"The Reclaimed."

I mean, for wood,

it makes sense,

you know, you repurpose

something that's lost,

but for people, nah.

Seems a bit defeatist.

- Maybe we deserve it.

I mean, look at what

we've done to this planet,

to each other.

- You're not a religious

person, are you Emma?

"Though He slay

me, I hope in Him"

It's Job, Chapter

13 from the Bible.

That's a dangerous

thing, you know,

thinking the worst about people,

especially in times like these.

- [Emma] Easy for you to say.

After the last couple weeks,

hope is in short supply.

- [Kai] You know, I'm

sure you two have seen

your share of horrible things,

but I can assure you,

you do not have the market

cornered on suffering.

Anyway, maybe this

thing, whatever it

is, is a wake up call,

put us back into our places.

Now, think about it, think

about the last 100 years,

50 years, what we're capable of.

Maybe this is forcing us to

get back to what matters,

what's simple, faith, the

land, the water, family.

- [Caroline] Papa, dinner soon.

- [Kai] Anyway, I'm sorry,

I get a little philosophical

when I drink.

All right, let's eat.

- Hey, hey, sit.

You're gonna spook the deer.

(threatening music)

Finally, got one.

(g*n clicking)

- [Ethan] It's close, but

you got the heart wrong.

- Yeah, yeah.

I ran out of red markers.

- How many times?

- Ethan, it's complicated.

- I have time.

- No, you don't have time.

You need to feed.

(g*nsh*t booming)

- You actually did it.

- Don't sound so surprised.

- Ethan!

(climatic music)

(flesh squelching)

(climatic music)

- [Mae] Your body is changing

And when you feed,

it halts the process,

and then you remember.

- Please, no!

(g*nshots booming)

- It's okay, it's okay.

Don't look, it's

okay, it's okay.

Ethan.

- [Mae] Stay with me.

(flies buzzing)

- Stop that starin', Caroline.

- Yes, Papa.

- [Kai] Our guests are

starving, sweetheart.

Now, these are

real farm to table,

grown right outside in the back.

- It looks amazing, doesn't it?

- It sure does.

- It's the least we could do

after Caroline

pulled a g*n on you.

- [Kai] Oh, we're well

past that, right, Caroline?

- Shall we say grace?

- Actually, maybe

I should wash up.

- Oh.

- [Sarah] Oh.

- Where are my manners?

Upstairs, second

door to the left.

- We'll be right back.

- Are you sure

they're okay, sweetie.

- Lord, these are

troubled times.

We've been led astray.

Now, more than ever, your

flock needs guidance.

Over to you sweetheart.

- [Caroline] Bless us, oh Lord,

for these gifts that

we are about to receive

from the bounty of

Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

- [Sarah] Amen.

- Amen.

- I can't do this.

- Yes, yes, you can.

I'm gonna buy us

some time, okay?

- Don't leave.

- Look at me.

Never, okay?

Hey, I'll be right back.

- Is everything okay?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Thank you again for

your hospitality.

- Of course.

- We're happy to.

- Sweetheart, why don't you to

take Caroline and go outside?

(distressing music)

- Kai.

- Sit down.

- Kai, maybe we should

talk about this.

- [Kai] Do it now, go on.

It's okay, sweetheart.

It's okay, love.

Put your filthy

hands on the table.

- Ethan needed to

use the restroom.

- [Kai] Where is your g*n?

You know, I don't

know all the symptoms,

but that boy's lost.

He's soulless.

Doesn't even know his name.

He's got that amnesia.

- If maybe we could just-

- He don't look sick.

Just tired.

Is that how you fool

all your victims,

all the innocent people

like me and my family?

Is that what you do?

How long you been feeding him?

(distressing music)

- He's all I have left.

- Oh, you are the devil.

You are.

Does he even know what he is?

Does he?

See, you're just as infected

as he is, with weakness.

- Ethan.

Are you okay, dear?

(distressing music)

(Sarah screaming)

(exhilarating music)

(Emma screaming)

(exhilarating music)

(g*nsh*t booming)

(bleak music)

(Ethan yelling)

(bleak music)

- Emma.

You're Emma.

How long have you

been doing this?

- Too long.

Look at me.

You have to eat daily, human

flesh and it can't be rotten.

I had to get creative

feeding you, which actually,

thanks to your amnesia,

wasn't that hard.

When you eat with regularity,

you are like the

fountain of youth.

But your memory's

inconsistent, unreliable.

Sometimes it returns right away,

and sometimes it takes longer.

It sounds horrible, I know,

but as long as I kept you clean

and fed, we were almost okay.

For a while, we had

a good thing going.

In a twisted way, it was

like time stood still,

a permanent honeymoon.

Then, weeks became years,

and one day, you

stopped recognizing me.

Good morning, lazy bones.

Hey.

Hey.

- I'm sorry.

What?

- [Mae] Then, I started

the full-time charade.

You know, you caught

on a few times.

- Wait, are you Emma?

- [Mae] But as the years

passed, less and less.

- [Ethan] I'm a monster.

- No, you're the new normal.

I'm the one facing extinction.

- You should let me die.

- [Mae] That's the problem.

I did.

(solemn music)

My body is broken.

I'm broken.

I can't do this anymore.

- Me neither.

(solemn music)

(g*nsh*t booming)

- [Mae] Ethan, stop.

(solemn music)

Ah

And I don't hardly know her

- Emma, I love you.

Crimson and clover

Ah

When she come walking over

Now I've been

waitin' to show her

Crimson and clover

Over and over

What are you doing?

- I'm letting go.

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

Crimson and clover

over and over

(solemn music)

(bright music)

(bright music continues)

(reflective music)
