[ALL CHEERING, LAUGHING]

[CHEERING, LAUGHING CONTINUE]

Cheers!

- [NOAH] Yeah, that's what I'm saying!
- [CHEERING CONTINUES]

Whoo!

- [NOAH] Good?
- [TALVINDER] Yeah, great.

[ALL CHEERING]

Guys, guys. Guess what I just found?

- What?
- What?

A swimming hole.

[ALL CHEERING]

[TALVINDER] You guys wanna go swimming?

[DAWN] I wanna go swimming.

I can barely walk!

- Oh, come on. Oh!
- I'm good! I'm good!

- Come on. We've got your back.
- Yeah, it'll be fun.

- It'll be great.
- [LAUGHING] Okay.

[TALVINDER] You guys, did
anyone bring a towel?

Do you want me to go back
and get a picnic blanket?

[ANDI] No, we're fine. Come on.

[LAUGHS] You guys, what
is this? There's a fire?

- [ANDI] We're here.
- [TALVINDER] Here? This is weird.

What's going on, you guys?

Guys, this is freaking me out.

Tell me or I'm going back.

- What the f*ck?
- You're on trial, Talvinder.

- For what?
- For being a nasty bitch.

Get in the circle.

[SCOFFS] f*ck that.

[ANDI] Get in the f*cking circle.

[ANDI] I felt sorry for you.

I opened myself up to you,
I let you into my world,

and you used that to go
and f*ck my boyfriend.

I used to trust people, but
I can't do that anymore.

And that's because of you.

- None of that was Peter's fault?
- Shut the f*ck up!

- No, you don't get to talk!
- Peter f*cked me, Andi.

I didn't make him. He wanted to.

So, stop acting like the f*cking victim!

Next?

I never liked you.

I never trusted you from
the minute I met you.

And it's not because
you're a terrible person.

It's because you're nothing.

Who are you, Talvinder?

Can you even answer that?

I should've seen what Susan saw.

In the real world...

I wouldn't give you the time
of day, not for a second.

We wouldn't even be friends.

I'm sorry.

[SCOFFS]

f*ck you.

I was supposed to stand up here and talk

about how awful of a person you are.

But if anyone should be on trial, it's

me, 'cause what I did was way worse.

I'm so sorry, Andi.

I really am.

That's all I've got to say.

All right, Noah, buddy.

It's your turn.

- Shut up!
- [TALVINDER SCREAMING]

Shut the f*ck up!

Shut up! I'm gonna teach
you some f*cking manners!

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

[TALVINDER] Stop!

[SCREAMING] No!

[WHIMPERING]

[PETER] Talvinder!

- [SUSAN] Talvinder!
- [PETER] Talvinder!

[ANDI] Wait, just come
back! We'll take you!

[SUSAN] It's not safe!

[WHIMPERING]

[PETER] Talvinder!

- [PETER] No, no, no, no!
- [ANDI] Oh, my God.

She... She's dead.

- [SUSAN] What?
- [PETER] She's dead!

No, no, no, no. Oh, f*ck.

[SCREAMING]

If we take her back,
we're going to jail!

- It's her word against ours.
- No, I can't. No, I can't...

Susan!

[SCREAMING]

- [TALVINDER SCREAMS]
- [ALL GASP]

Dawn. Dawn!

No!

Stop!

[GROANING]

Noah.

Noah!

[TALVINDER COUGHS]

Wren, wait! What's gonna happen now?

What, you're gonna go into
that house with a g*n and...?

They're murderers, Judith!

Keira's a m*rder*r? Or
Mark? Who did he k*ll?

What about Renée or Antoine or the

woman who came to us to find shelter?

- What about Gene? What about them?
- They got in the way!

Talvinder was .

Judith, she was . She was a child.

Those five, they took her out into the

woods and they caved her head in.

And then they left her there to rot.

They were her friends
and they k*lled her.

And they let an innocent man
take the fall for what they did.

- The others...
- The others? The others don't matter.

Keira lives.

Give me the g*n.

What about the rest of 'em?

They're all yours.

[JUDITH] I was out walking, and I...

I heard something.

I thought it was Peter, but
it wasn't. It was Mark.

And he had this really
weird look on his face,

and I thought it was
because I upset him,

because I left to go
find Peter, and then...

We started walking, and
then I saw your g*n.

And...

I realized...

that he was going to, um...

He was taking me into
the woods to sh**t me.

No, Mark would never do that.

Mark is gonna sh**t me,

and I don't even know how it
happens, but I think it's my...

it's my only chance.

And so I reach for the
g*n, and I'm saying,

"Mark, stop this. Don't
come any closer."

And he kept coming, and he
was threatening me, and I...

I pulled the trigger.

That's okay, Judith. You
don't need to say any more.

We all understand.

I don't know. No, this doesn't
make any f*cking sense.

- Dawn.
- This doesn't make any f*cking sense.

You're lying.

This is bullshit.

You need to calm... You
need to calm down.

- You're the k*ller, aren't you, Judith?
- Dawn.

Aren't you? And you're saying all of

this so that we'll just lower our guard.

But I'm not gonna sit here,
waiting to be your next victim.

I will protect myself.

Oh, my God.

Take it.

Please, I don't... I don't want it.

Take it.

She was still in shock when I found her.

Still had the g*n in her hand.

I'm really having a hard time
imagining Judith sh**ting anybody.

It was self-defense.

Well, I'm having a hard
time picturing Mark

- being a cold-blooded serial k*ller.
- Are you serious?

- Yes!
- I nearly froze to death because of him.

He drugged me and locked me
out of the f*cking house.

Yes, because he thought you
were the k*ller. Do you get it?

- [PETER] Did he?
- [DAWN] Yes.

Or maybe he was just saying that
because he wanted to take me out!

Maybe if you just open
your eyes and see...

I am, Peter! I am and I'm not buying it!

Could you please just listen to me
for one second without reacting?

- If Judith is the one k*lling us...
- [PETER] Oh, my God.

She's gonna be smart about
it! It's not impossible!

[WREN] Yeah, it is. Judith?

Judith tearing out people's eyeballs,

f*ckin' pureeing Renée
with a snowmobile?

[PETER] Keira, what do you think?

Well, Judith had a nervous
breakdown before she got here.

- Hm.
- Mark...

He saw a woman die
right in front of him.

And obviously, he's been
overwhelmed the past few days.

- He probably has PTSD.
- Yes, because he was sh*t!

He was sh*t and that changed his life!

Maybe it f*cked with his head, Dawn!

[KEIRA] Look, Judith gave us the g*n.

We didn't ask for it. She
just handed it over.

If she was the k*ller,
why would she do that?

[NOAH] You awake, Peter?

Yes.

Last night...

Did that...

Did it really happen?

I mean, like...

like, maybe we were all
just... asleep, you know?

Or I guess... I guess I am, but, I mean,

then maybe I'm trapped in a nightmare...

- Noah, shut the f*ck up!
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

Who do you think?

- People keep asking us where Talvinder is.
- What'd you tell them?

That she went out for a jog earlier this

morning. We haven't seen her since.

- Do they believe you?
- So far.

There was... There was that
bear sighting last week, right?

On the trail, past the lake?

Maybe... Maybe we remind
people about that.

Talvinder was eaten by a bear.
That's what you wanna tell people?

At least, I'm coming up with something.

We have to say something, Peter.

- No. No, we don't.
- Yes, we do.

Look, she went for a run. That's
the last time you saw her.

She's not coming back
from that f*cking run!

- Dawn! Shh!
- [DAWN] They'll call the police.

And if anyone saw us with her yesterday,

it's all gonna come back to us,

and then we're going to jail for
the rest of our f*cking lives.

- Just calm down. Calm... Calm...
- Shh!

Please don't f*cking tell
me to relax right now!

You need to f*cking calm down.
Dawn, calm down right now!

- Breathe.
- We need... But we need to do something.

- Yes.
- Right?

Just breathe.

This is my life now.

Yes, Andi, this is your life now.

This is my life.

All of our f*ckin' lives.

[DAWN] I can't f*cking believe
that we are taking her word for it

for something that none of us saw.

[KEIRA] Dawn, she could've come in here

and sh*t all of us, but she didn't.

She did the exact opposite.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Where the hell is my boyfriend?

[PETER] Janice, just stay here, okay?

Gene is... I don't
even know what to say.

Oh, my God.

[PETER] Let's get back
to the main house.

- Stay away from me!
- Look, I know you're in shock.

I told Gene you guys are a cult!

J-Janice, listen, we need your help.

You can get us out of here.

I've got room for one.

What if we siphon some of the gas
from your sled into one of ours?

I said I've got room for one!

- It should be Keira who goes.
- We need to get help.

Keira could call the
police from your place.

Why me? Why do I get to go?

Because...

you have your whole life ahead of you,

and the sooner you get out of here...

- safe and sound...
- I thought we were safe and sound.

Now that Mark's dead?

Dawn should go. You're injured.
You need real medical attention.

You're a part of this
community. This is our home.

Dawn goes. End of discussion.

Well, take care of yourself...
and stay inside that house.

Don't come out until
the police get here.

Okay.

Promise me, Peter.

I promise.

[ENGINE STARTS]

You gave them the g*n?

I had to.

It was either that or...

I will see you again.

[CRYING]

- [RUMBLING, CLATTERING]
- [BOTH GASP]

It just was snow falling off the roof.

Well, I can't just sit here.
I need to do something.

Why don't you go upstairs
and pack your things?

They'll probably let
us bring a bag or two,

if you wanna go get your things ready.

[TO HERSELF] This...
This is for the best.

This is for the best.
This is for the best.

Mark's the k*ller.

Peter and Keira believe that.

And...

And the police will too.

And then you and me, we can
leave this place, Wren.

We can leave the awful memories, and...

and we can live in peace.

They've paid.

They've paid. Even if
they live, they've paid.

Open your heart.

Open your heart.

I'm gonna go find Dawn.

I'm gonna k*ll her.

Then I'll come back here,
and I'm gonna k*ll him too.

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

- And if Keira gets in the way...
- No.

- No, no, no, no. You promised.
- You don't love me.

Wren, please, I do. You know I do.

No.

No, you just love yourself.

So, what happens when you get back?

I miss being a nurse.

You're a healer.

- No.
- Yes, you are.

- Hey. Hey.
- [SIGHS]

You kept Noah alive.

I k*lled someone.

- That was an accident, Keira.
- No.

An accident is an act of God.

It's something you can't control.

I screwed up... and somebody d*ed.

Well, now, you get to make things right.

You get to go back...

and save lives.

What about you?

I'll do what I should
have done five years ago.

- You'll go to jail.
- I will.

And so will Dawn.

Keira, my friends and I...

we deserved everything
that happened to us.

- Peter.
- No, justice...

is justice.

I thought I'd finally found
someone... who really understood me.

Someone who really
loved me for who I am.

- I do. I do love you.
- No, you don't.

You say you do, but you don't.
You're just pretending.

What am I? What do I mean to you?

Everything.

- Everything?
- Everything.

Will you help me?

Will you k*ll them for me? Please?

- Please?
- No, no, it's too late. It's too late.

Dawn... Dawn's miles and miles away now.

It's too late.

Then I'll do it myself.

If I leave now, I can catch 'em.

No! Peter and Keira will hear you.

- And then they'll put two and two...
- Then I'll sh**t them both.

No, no. No Keira. You said...

g*dd*mn it!

That's enough about f*cking
Keira! f*cking Keira!

- Keira is innocent! You can't k*ll Keira!
- Keira's not!

You f*cking bitch!

You f*cking bitch!

You care more about her
than you do about me!

No!

Wren, don't!

No one will ever love you
like I f*cking loved you!

You're gonna die alone
because you're weak!

You f*cking coward! You
f*cking worthless coward!

Because you're f*cking weak!

- Wren, no!
- sh*t!

You never deserved me. You
never did and you never will.

- No! No!
- You're f*cking weak! You're f*cking weak!

- You're f*cking weak!
- You won't take over! No! [PANTING]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTING, PANTING]

- [CLATTERING]
- Judith!

- [GLASS SHATTERING]
- [KNOCKS] Judith, are you okay? Judith!

Judith's always been fragile.

She's really kept it together
the last couple days...

until she k*lled Mark.

Is she gonna be okay?

- I think so. They're just scratches.
- I don't mean physically.

- We need to find Mark's body.
- Yeah.


We need to confirm that
he's actually dead.

I'm pretty sure he's dead, Keira.

Well, pretty sure isn't good enough.

You're right. You know what? You
stay here. I'm gonna go find him.

- No, I'm coming with you.
- No, you're gonna stay here.

Peter, you can't go out
there by yourself.

Look, we can't leave Judith here alone.

When help arrives, someone needs to

be here and they need to be awake.

- You know what? You take this.
- No.

Take it.

I cannot be out there worried about
you and myself. Take the g*n.

You need to come back
here as soon as you can.

Okay, I promise.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

I'm keeping this one.

Lock the door behind me.

[LOCK CLICKS]

Judith.

Did I fall asleep?

[SIGHS] No, you passed out.

You don't remember?

It's okay.

Look...

I know. It's all just been...
way too much for you.

You're overwhelmed.

It's okay. They're coming to get us.

Did I, uh...

Did I hurt anyone?

No.

Just yourself.

Where's Peter going?

- Um...
- What?

He's going to get Mark's body.

But don't let that upset you, okay?

I'm gonna go clean up my mess.

- Judith, you should rest.
- I'm gonna go to my room.

What's left of my room.

Wren?

Wren?

Wren?

Where are you?

Wren?

Please come out, Wren.

[WREN'S VOICE] I will...

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

If you k*ll them for me.

- No.
- k*ll 'em.

No! No, I can't do that, Wren. I can't.

- Do it.
- No, I don't want to.

- Don't make me do this.
- Judith.

- No.
- Judith, do it.

- No. No, no. No, no, no.
- I said do it. Judith, I said do it!

Stop being a f*cking coward and go
out there and k*ll them for me!


- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Do it now!

[GROANS]

Judith.

Judith, if you don't
k*ll them... I will.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

What are you doing? Why are we stopping?

A week ago, this was all ice.

Okay, can we just... can
we ride through it or...?

Are you kidding me?

We'll have to backtrack
to the main trail.

There's a bridge that way. I
think we have enough fuel.

Oh, you think? Okay, great.

Get us the f*ck out of here now.

[SCREAMS] Janice!
Janice! Janice, Janice!

Janice! Janice!

[WHIMPERING]

[CRIES, GASPS]

Keira!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

Judith!

Judith, where are you?

Come on. Come on.

Stay with me. Keira. Keira!

Come on, come on.

[OWEN'S VOICE] Dear Mom...

The evidence against
me... is overwhelming.


I'm not getting out of here.

Not alive anyway.

Those five...

framed me.

Please, Mother, find justice.

Do whatever it takes.

Destroy them.

Love, your little wren...

Owen.

Come on, come on.

Please don't take her from me.

[JUDITH] Peter.

- She's alive.
- Barely.

Peter...

You have a choice to make.

One of you lives...

one of you dies.

No, no, no, no, no. f*ck that.

No?

No.

Why not?

You've done it before.

[PETER] No, no, no.

"The Assyrian came down
like the wolf on the fold.

And his cohorts were
gleaming in purple and gold.

And the sheen of their spears
was like stars on the sea...

when the blue wave rolls
nightly on deep Galilee.

But the Angel of Death spread
his wings on the blast

and breathed on the face
of the foes he passed.

And the eyes of the sleepers
waxed deadly and chill.

And their hearts but once
heaved and forever grew still.

And forever grew still."

How do I know you just won't k*ll her?

Because I don't want to.

And Antoine? Did you want to k*ll him?

Or Renée?

Or Gene?

[PETER] What about the others,
huh? Why did you k*ll them?


Why the f*ck did you k*ll them?

Enough!

Those deaths are on you!

You and your f*ckin' friends!

You k*lled Talvinder.

You framed me.

You sent me to jail.

You k*lled me!

- Judith, wait.
- Stop calling me that.

You're not Owen.

No, no, no, no, Owen's dead.

You're Judith.

Did you get my letter?

Yes, I did.

[RADIO FEEDBACK]

No! No! No!

Peter...

- what is...?
- Okay, okay. Judith, Judith.

- Judith, listen to me.
- Where am I?

Please give me the g*n.

Please, okay? We're-We're in
danger, okay? Give me the g*n.

No!

sh**t that... [GRUNTS]

Wren! Wren, you stop! Enough!

sh**t! sh**t that fucker
between the eyes!

Don't make me!

Five minutes!

That's...

That's all it took.

It was five minutes.

From the moment Owen hung himself...

until they found him
hanging by his bedsheets.

- You...
- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

If I... If I could... If I
could go back, I would.

You owe me those five minutes.

You owe me.

You wanted to do right?

Now's your chance. Huh?

I'll put a b*llet in Keira's brain
and make the decision for you.

And you can just walk away.

You walk away...

and go back to living your life...

or Keira does.

It's up to you, Peter.

- [DAWN] Noah.
- [NOAH GRUNTING, PANTING]

[BOTH CRYING]

- [GASPS]
- [GASPS]

[NOAH] Why won't you f*ckin' die?

Why won't you die?

- [CRYING]
- Just f*ckin' die!

[HEART b*ating RAPIDLY]

Jay?

Jay, you okay?

What's going on, buddy? What you got?

[PETER'S VOICE] Dear
Mr. and Mrs. Gill...


I'm writing this letter to tell you

that your daughter Talvinder is dead.

She's been dead these past five years,

since the night me and
my friends k*lled her


and then buried her body in the
woods near our summer camp.


My friends and I did a
terrible thing that night...


and then we did another terrible
thing a few days later.


We framed Owen Turnbull for the crime,

and he hung himself...

because of us.

Two deaths, and we are to blame.

We are murderers.

We've told ourselves it was just
an accident, but it wasn't.


We didn't set out to k*ll her,

but the actions we took that
night cost Talvinder her life.


It's time my friends and
I paid for what we did.


It's time Talvinder and Owen
get the justice they deserve.


It's time for me to step up
and do what needs to be done.


Sincerely...

Peter Burrow.

[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]

Hey.

Um, thank you for coming.

I would hug you, but...

You're doing the right thing.

Uh...

Talvinder's parents deserve
to know the truth.

I just keep thinking about
Mark, and Peter and...

how they d*ed 'cause of me.

No.

They d*ed because of Judith.

Our friends were k*lled
because of Judith.

Right.

You ready?

Okay.

Yeah.

You came back to me.

Of course I did.

I'll never leave you again.

Now, what do we do... about Dawn?

She's getting away.

For now.

But when she gets out...

we'll be waiting.
