[bunniefuu]

[Forest sounds chirping]

Simon!

Keri!

[Dog Barks]

Simon!

[Radio chatter]

Keri!

[Dog Barks]

Simon!

Keri!

Simon!

[Eerie sounds]

[Dogs whimpering]

[Whistles]

[Radio chatter]

[Whistles]

[Dogs panting]

[Whining]

[Dog barking]

[Whimpering sounds]

Daddy?

Dad!

[Distressed animal sounds]

[Snarling, growling]

[Pained whimpering]

[Labored breathing]

Babe, is everything okay?

Sorry, I was just

looking for a record.

Well, come on.

We're not gonna see

everyone for a while.

Right, sorry.

By the way,

everyone thinks it's cute

we're matching.

[Millie chuckles]

Babe?

Yeah.

Just give me a sec.

[Dance music playing]

[Cath]

He really agreed to

go along with this?

Yes.

He's excited.

Are you sure it's

what you want?

What do you mean?

You know I love Tim,

but he hasn't been

that Tim in a while.

Like, aren't you worried

about how long it's been since

the two of you have, like,

you know, why don't

you take the job

and find a country boy

who actually f*ck you?

Hey.

[Jordy]

Oh, sick.

I didn't know you

still did music.

Yeah, uh,

actually just finishing

up a new EP.

Sick.

You still on the same label?

Probably self releasing

this time.

But, hey, I heard you guys

got booked on

the whole Sound Off tour.

That's--that's awesome.

Dude, you gotta get back

on a label.

They just book you

on so much stuff.

That's so true.

Yeah, no, I should

just get back on a label.

[Millie]

He's still going

through a lot.

Honestly, it's another reason

why I think this move

will be good for both of us.

Okay.

This is so exciting.

Do you think he knows?

He has no idea.

You know, we need a

guitarist for the tour.

What?

For real?

I figured, you know, with the

move that you're written off.

sh*t.

I mean, I could check-in

with Millie, but...

[Luke laughs]

When you started dating

my sister,

I thought you might make

her cooler.

Instead, she's just

made you...

Hey, f*ck you, man.

Nah, it's cool, it's just

when I die, I don't want

someone else's life

flashing before my eyes.

[Cath clicking on glass]

Alright, I'll do it. The tour.

Oh, that's dope.

Uh, there's a lot

of rehearsals.

I'll make it back.

It's not even that far.

And it's so f*cking far.

[laughter]

Look, this isn't that

big of a deal.

It's just a couple hours away.

Says the prick

who can't drive.

Who needs to drive

in the city?

Obviously, we're gonna miss

you guys a lot.

This insane group is,

you know, it's

the family I got.

So...

but I--

I'm so proud of Millie.

You are the sweetest,

most giving person

I've ever met.

These kids don't even know

how lucky they are

to get someone who actually

cares about their education.

[Crowd]

Aww.

So, um, yeah.

It's-- it's all bittersweet.

I'm a little scared, but,

uh, mainly excited

about the next step

in our lives together.

[Crowd]

Woo!

Yeah.

[Crowd tittering]

That's it.

[laughs]

Okay.

Relax.

It's just a change of scenery.

Babe.

In front of the people

who mean the most to us,

I wanna ask you...

to spend the rest of your

life with me.

Are you joking?

[Tim]

Uh...

[Millie]

Oh.

Yes. Of course.

Yes.

I, I, I do.

[Cath claps softly]

[Tim]

I'm sorry.

I f*cking suck.

Okay? I just, I didn't know

what was happening,

and I froze.

You still want this, right?

It's a little late now, right?

Yeah, it f*cking is.

But still, if we don't

split now,

it'll only be harder later.

Wait, like "split" split?

Is that what you want?

No, of course not.

I don't know.

You've been so distant

since...

and that's okay.

Of course.

It's just...

you've never made

me feel unsure before.

Unsure of what?

If we love each other

or if we're just

used to each other.

Hey, hey, I'm sorry.

Okay?

Sorry.

[Kissing]

Sorry.

I think I drank too much.

It's okay.

Hey, hey, I love you.

I love you too.

[Millie]

Everyone knows you need me

[Millie]

more than I need you.

[Millie]

We laugh about it.

What?

[Millie]

Resenting me doesn't make

you less of a failure.

Why are you saying this?

[Millie]

Can you ask them to leave?

Who?

[Millie]

I can't sleep with

them staring at us.

[Tim inhales sharply]

[ ]

[Bright music fades in]

[Birds chirping]

[Millie]

Good morning.

You clearly don't miss

the sound of traffic.

How long you been up?

Not long.

Figured one of these

had to have

the coffee machine inside.

Do you think I resent you?

Well, now.

Sorry.

Still half asleep.

Because you're looking

at your dream girl.

That must be it.

Since you're out here,

can you bring

something inside?

Sure, yeah.

Oh.

Oh my god.

[Millie]

Careful.

[Millie laughing]

This is worrying.

Your dad's?

Maybe I could use it

to fix the back porch.

[Electric sawing]

Never let me use that.

Hey, babe,

do you smell that?

[Millie]

I'm peeing.

You really don't

smell anything?

[Millie]

What's going on?

[Eerie music fades in]

[Millie]

Babe?

Oh, Jesus.

Ugh!

[Millie]

Babe, what are you doing?

I found it.

[Millie]

What?

Oh, sh--

[Millie]

Oh god.

How'd you know

to look for that?

[Ethereal music plays]

Excuse me.

Hi.

Did you bring that from

home or take it from my tin?

Oh, sorry.

I thought that they were

just for the staff,

but I don't have a...

Sugar?

No.

Thank you.

How much trouble am I in?

Oh, God.

Don't mind Carol.

She's possessive of

dry old bags

on account of her being one.

It's Ms. Wilson, right?

Millie.

I'm Jamie, welcome.

Thank you.

I gotta say,

I was so happy

you took this placement.

Your resume really

caught my eye.

You saw that?

Yeah, well, I was part

of the hiring committee.

Wanna sit?

Mhmm.

Uh, yeah, I was just thrilled

that someone of your caliber

was interested in our

tiny neck of the woods.

Oh, are you kidding?

I'm excited.

My old school was huge.

Students and staff all

lost in the shuffle.

Here, I'm hoping to actually

help these

kids as individuals.

Oh, passion.

Almost forgot what

that was like.

And you settling in okay?

You and your husband

or sorry,

your wife, or...

Me and my,

God...

boyfriend sounds so immature.

Partner?

My Tim?

My-- me and my

boy partner, Tim.

[Millie Laughs]

Have you, uh,

have you explored much?

Partners?

Oh, God, no, no.

No, the area.

Have you-- have you like,

where did you move to?

We, uh, we're down at the

end of Pitt Road.

This is so predictably

small town

to say this, but I

think we're neighbors.

Yeah, I'm in the yellow house

on the corner.

Oh, you're kidding.

Yeah, it's a great spot.

I mean, it's a

little ways from town,

but the woods and the

trails are amazing.

[Bell rings]

Well, uh...

let me know if, uh,

you ever need someone

to show you around,

you and

your boy partner.

[Millie laughs]

- Sure.

- Have a good day.

Bye.

[Tim playing guitar]

[Millie knocks on doorframe]

- How's it going?

- Hey.

Oh, do we have Internet?

Uh, guys coming next week.

Hey, you obviously

can't drive me back

for this gig on

Thursday, right?

I could take you

to the train station.

Okay, yeah, thanks.

Come to bed with me.

I have to learn

these parts.

Okay.

What about tomorrow?

Do you maybe wanna

do that hike

you were

telling me about?

Yeah.

That'd be great.

Great.

Okay.

Love you.

Love you.

[Faint rat squeaks]

[Music fades in]

[ ]

Is this it?

I don't know.

This feels short.

Did we miss something?

Hey, what about that?

Seems pretty overgrown.

Hon, I don't wanna

be the dumb city folk

who went against

nature and lost.

It's marked, we're good.

[Ominous music plays]

Babe.

We can always turn back.

It's just,

it's so nice out.

[Thunder clap]

Okay, wait.

I think it's this way.

No, honey, I think

it was back there.

Are you sure?

No.

Are you?

Okay.

That way is North.

Okay.

What do we do with that?

I don't know.

I thought it would be helpful.

Okay.

What if we just keep going

sort of, South East-ish?

Can't we just think

for a second.

Wait, no, no, babe,

this looks right, come on.

[Tim]

Babe!

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

- Babe!

- Honey!

- Babe!

- Oh my God!

[Millie]

Oh my God, here!

[Millie and Tim scream]

[Gasping for air]

Are you okay?

I think so.

[Millie]

Oh my God.

My phone.

sh*t.

Can you call it?

I don't have a signal.

f*ck.

My demos were on there.

I'm fine, by the way.

- Hey, sorry, you okay?

- [Millie] Yeah, it's okay.

[Tim]

You sure?

[Millie]

I'm okay.

[Tim]

What is this place?

Do you feel that?

It feels...

Crowded.

We gotta get out of here.

Back into the storm?

[Tim]

What is all this?

We can build a fire.

Wait it out.

Why do you have a lighter?

Does that really

matter right now?

How big is this place?

Let me check.

Hello?

[Tim's voice echoes]

Well?

Pretty big.

Honey.

[Tim]

Hmm?

What are you doing?

Remember when we used to

watch Man versus Wild?

Yeah.

You f*cking don't.

[Tim]

Okay.

Thank you.

[Tim chuckles]

I am so thirsty.

Yeah, me too.

Is that all we have?

Yeah.

[Tim]

You think that's drinkable?

[Millie]

I'm not drinking it.

Alright, finish this.

What about you?

I found another bottle.

Okay.

What's that?

The other bottle.

Babe.

I wouldn't.

Man versus wild, babe.

No, it's fine, here.

[Suspenseful music builds]

So...

about that lighter.

[Millie laughs]

When?

Just before the move.

You?

Same.

When we're out of here,

we'll both stop again.

Definitely.

For now, it's a nice

distraction

from all the rats that

must be down here.

I keep thinking about that

thing you found the other day.

Me too.

Hey.

What happened there?

When I was a kid,

my dad comes home

one day and tells me

to clean my room because he

says there's a smell,

so I clean it.

Next day, he comes home,

says it's still there,

so I clean it again.

Day after that,

he comes in, but

this time he's freaking out,

he's like...

what is that g*dd*mn smell?

And he just starts tearing

my room apart,

but he can't find anything.

And at this point,

I'm scared because...

there is no smell.

You know?

I don't know why he's

getting so worked up.

Anyway, I um...

come home from school

the next day,

I go in my room,

and he's standing there

with this,

this wicked grin because

he found it.

It was a dead rat.

It had been nesting

above the warm light.

And every time I used that

light, I was cooking it.

But it was so gradual that,

I couldn't even tell that

I was breathing in this

this rotting carcass

every night.

Can't believe I haven't

heard that story before.

I had forgotten all about it

until the night

I found them.

And there's this detail

that I never told you,

never told anyone

about the smell.

But it was worse than that.

It was like a-- like a taste.

Like the air was thick,

and it just got worse

the closer I got to

their bedroom.

Then I opened the door.

She was smiling at me.

She had woke to find her

other half was gone

and her brain just snapped.

She couldn't process it.

Still going to bed each night

next to that

face and that horrible smell.

I was standing there

choking on the taste of him

and she didn't even notice.

It's like me with the rat,

just breathing him in

like fresh air.

Sorry.

It's like a window opened

between our house

and that night.

[Eerie music playing]

[Rumbling noise]

[Wind rustling]

[Heavy breathing]

[Breathing intensifies]

[Deep exhale]

[Millie breathes erratically]

What?

Only you could sleep-in

in a wet cave.

What time is it?

Oh, sh*t.

That sucks.

Let's just get home.

But my demos were on there.

[Chuckles] I hate you.

[Millie laughs] No you don't.

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

What is that?

Wait, stop, stop, stop.

[Sticky sound]

What the f*ck?

What is it?

Mildew or something.

Ow, ow, that hurts.

I know,

what do you want to do

a f*cking three legged race?

Sorry.

Slow, slow.

Ew.

[Sticky noises]

[ ]

[Millie]

Oh my god.

f*ck, f*ck.

[Heavy breathing]

[Both begin to laugh]

You were pretty

impressive in there.

[Tim laughs]

Remember when I found North?

[Both laughing]

[Suspenseful music builds]

We should head into town.

There's no food in the house.

There used to be rice.

Well, we haven't

exactly budgeted

for two new phones.

But first...

[Tim]

What?

Just two minutes.

- Babe.

- Come on.

I just spent the night

in a cave.

- Please, please.

- Fine.

Alright, but you do me next.

Mhmm.

Babe, come on.

[Millie]

Babe?

[Millie]

Mmmm.

[Tim exhales deeply]

[Suspenseful music builds]

Ow, Tim?

[Fast heartbeat]

Tim, Tim!

- What?

- What the f*ck?

I-- I'm sorry.

Ugh, you trying to be funny?

That really hurt.

Honey, you don't look so good.

I'm-- I'm just really tired.

I'm gonna head into town.

I can come.

No, you just relax.

Maybe take a shower, yeah?

[Tiles cracking]

[Tim gasping for air]

[Eerie sounds begin]

[Muffled speaking]

Says here you've dealt with

anxiety, panic attacks.

Is it possible this

is one of those?

No.

I don't think so.

How old are you?

We're actually the same age.

I see there's a history of

mental illness in the family.

Your mother suffered from--

No, it's nothing like that.

This is different.

I think it's worth discussing

what happened to her.

I've had this

conversation before.

I'm not her.

You have someone to talk to?

Family, a therapist, friends?

Yeah, I got friends

back in the city.

So locally,

it's just your wife?

Partner, yeah,

it's just her.

You had this dangerous

experience

when you're left alone

in an unfamiliar place,

no one to help if something

were to go wrong,

anxiety can fixate on a

thought like that,

and spiral into

a physical panic response.

This is technically

a muscle relaxant,

meaning it slows the central

nervous system down.

So even if your brain

starts panicking,

your body relaxes,

shutting down

the feedback loop.

- OK?

- Yeah.

You know,

you two were lucky.

There was that couple that

went missing out there.

What? When?

There's still posters up.

Biggest news this town's

seen for a while.

Bigger than local man

waters garden?

I'm serious.

There was a big search

and everything.

Valium?

It's called Diazepam now.

[Birds chirping]

[ ]

[Clears throat]

All ready for tomorrow?

Huh?

Honey, if you're not

feeling well,

maybe you should cancel.

Babe, if I cancel, I can

forget about the tour.

Hey, we didn't get

much data, yeah,

Maybe we don't use it

all, what are you...

Cruising for chicks online?

You know people went missing

around here recently?

Really?

Yeah.

Hey, do me a favor,

when I die, please

just nuke any and

all of my social media

from existence.

I don't wanna be

remembered for posting

nature is what home

feels like and

getting 23 likes.

They post this,

and that's it.

Cool.

Great life.

Okay.

So if you die tonight,

what's your final post?

[Both]

We took the plunge.

Aw.

That is so f*cking basic.

Why would you tag me in that?

Because all this

sh*t is basic, Tim.

Nobody cares.

It's just so, like,

my mom can see.

Plus, you love it.

Whatever.

[Millie laughs]

That'd be a sad one

to end it on, though.

Yeah.

What wouldn't be?

BRB dying.

[Laughs]

[Knock on door]

Literally,

who could that be?

[Door squeaks open]

- Hi.

- Hello.

I hope you don't mind.

I was in the

neighborhood and uh,

because I am

the neighborhood,

and I thought I would

officially welcome you

to said neighborhood.

Hey.

Hey, man.

Oh, babe.

This is Mr. McCabe.

Jamie, who I--

I've told you about him.

Right, oh yeah, hey.

You must be Tim,

the boy partner.

Nice to meet you.

[Tim chuckles]

I'm hoping you drink red.

Oh, Tim drinks anything.

Please come in.

Oh, no, no.

I don't wanna intrude.

Mr. McCabe,

I insist you intrude.

Alright.

[Laughs]

Thanks.

Here, just to the left.

Mr. McCabe?

That's terrifying.

Well, it was more

just the rain.

It was pouring rain.

I mean, we were

totally disoriented.

Well, you know your

phone has a compass.

- [Millie] Yeah.

Alright, let's not

get stuck on

who had which

cardinal directions.

Seriously, though,

have you

ever seen anything

like that out there?

I was getting, like,

cult vibes.

Cult vibes?

Honey, I don't know

about that.

What, were we not

in the same place?

It was a cave,

but there was like a

giant bell and church pews

in the walls.

It was f*cking weird.

There was a--

a chapel out that way.

Okay.

But that collapsed

years ago.

It was just like in

the middle of nowhere?

Yeah, it was like this

new age-y

hippie dippy group.

Cult vibes.

What happened to them?

Mass suicide.

- [Jamie] No.

- [Millie] Oh, God.

No.

I don't know.

They just kinda, I donno,

thinned out over time.

I think they moved on when

the weather

took the building.

Hard to recruit

new members when your

house of worship becomes

a subterranean lair.

I got it.

Thanks, honey.

Yeah.

Man, this food...

I might make a habit

of dropping by.

It's all Tim.

I can't cook to save my

life, and it's his fault.

Oh, it's my fault?

You're so good at this stuff.

I've never had to learn.

So if it weren't for me,

you'd know how to cook?

And if it weren't for me,

you wouldn't be the only

thirty something without

a driver's license.

I have a license.

He doesn't have

he has a learner's permit.

He can't actually drive a car.

It's a good deal, you know?

She gets a personal cook,

and I'm trapped here.

Trapped?

I can't even make it

to the train station

unless it fits your schedule.

Nobody's holding you

hostage, Tim.

No, hostages don't have

to cook their own food.

Well, it sounds to me like

you complete each other.

You think?

I mean, that's what I--

It's so weird.

Yeah.

[Millie laughs]

Hey it was-- it was nice

to meet you, man.

Hey, you too.

Thanks again.

And, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes, oh, yeah.

- [Millie] Aw.

- [Jamie] Okay. Bye.

Bye.

[Front door closes]

He's friendly.

What?

Nah, I just,

I think he likes you.

No he doesn't.

Don't be weird.

Mhmm.

You seem pretty charmed

by him too.

Really?

Yeah.

You're right.

I might just follow him home.

- [Tim] Yeah?

- [Millie] And...

[Whisper] Tim...

[Suspenseful music plays]

Ow!

Did you just bite me?

- [Tim] No.

- [Millie] What...

is this,

you're all over me one minute,

and then the next--

- [Tim] I, I didn't!

I just I...

Some-- something's off.

Ever since we've been

here, I just--

Stop with the excuses.

Excuses?

I'm not making this up, babe.

Tim, God, if you don't wanna

f*ck me, Tim, just say it.

[Crickets chirping]

[Creaking noise]

Mmm.

[Rustling sound]

Babe.

You're on my hair.

Ow, honey.

Will you roll over,

you're on my hair.

Tim?

[Tim choking]

Ow!

[Millie screaming]

[Millie screams]

[Tim coughs and gasps]

[Whisper]

What the f*ck?

You ready?

I don't think you should go.

There's a surprise.

Are we really not gonna

talk about last night?

You're acting--

What? Crazy?

That's not what I was saying.

I was unconscious, okay,

I didn't know what I was doing.

If you're sick,

you should stay home.

Babe, come on,

I can't miss the train.

Please.

You're gonna be great.

You know, I'd drive you

the whole way if I could.

It's fine.

Listen, don't worry about

coming back here tonight.

You mad at me?

No, no, no.

I just mean stay out.

Enjoy the after party,

you know, sleep at Luke's

and actually

catch up with everyone.

No use coming back here

and feeling trapped.

Look, I didn't mean that.

Sure, but...

maybe some space

would be good.

Are you sure?

Escape. Be free.

Okay. Yeah.

You're right.

Thanks.

[Labored breathing]

Oh, come on.

No, not now.

[Train crossing bells]

[Tim continues

breathing heavily]

Cmon.

[School bell]

Alright.

Great work, team.

I'll see you after PE.

[Kids chattering]

Anna, Mr. Richardson won't

like it if you're late.

Sorry, miss.

Are these your dogs?

Not anymore.

[Cars honking]

It sounds like

he's f*cking lost it.

No.

I don't know.

I-- you know, honestly,

it's been hard.

Are you okay?

Like, do you need me

to come up there?

I-- f*ck it.

I'm coming up there.

No, no, no.

I'm probably making it

sound worse than it is.

And anyway, my folks

are coming up

for lunch on Sunday, so,

yeah, he probably just needs

to see a familiar face.

Yeah, I just wanna make sure

you're okay.

I'm fine.

I like the quiet country life.

I'm the boring one.

You think you're boring

because,

what, you have an

actual proper job?

I love Tim,

but he is a 35 year old

white guy

who still thinks he's

gonna be a rock star.

That is f*cking boring.

He's a good guy.

Is he?

Yes.

You know, I always think

about our first date.

I said my favorite band

was the Spice Girls.

I didn't realize he was, like,

this music snob guy.

And then he shows up

on our second date

with Spice on vinyl.

That is sweet.

But that was nearly

a decade ago.

What has he done lately?

I gotta go.

Why?

[Children playing]

Millie, I need...

No, no, no.

What are you doing here?

I just,

I needed to see you.

Why aren't you on the train?

This is really

f*cking weird, Tim.

It's like I'm thirsty

all over, but not now.

Not with you.

[ ]

Tell me you want me.

I need you.

Don't stop. Please don't stop.

What are we doing?

Sorry, I just...

I had a feeling.

Don't apologize.

Let's just try it

at home next time.

And maybe don't wait so long.

Okay.

Now you gotta

get out of here.

What-- what are you doing?

What do you mean?

What, it's-- why are

you, like, tensing?

[Millie]

What?

I... babe it's...

Wait.

I'm stuck.

[Millie gasps]

Ow.

It hurts.

I know, I know.

[Millie winces]

What the f*ck.

Alright, just pull pull pull--

[Child's footsteps run away]

[Door slams shut]

Hurry, hurry.

I can't, I can't

It's still stuck!

Tim, you have got to

get out of here, now!

I'm trying!

It's not f*cking moving!

That hurts.

[Both writhing in pain]

Tim...

Listen to me,

listen to me!

I'm sorry.

No, no.

[Ripping]

[High-pitched ringing]

[Sound of door opening]

[Door closes]

Your feet.

[Footsteps]

[Hard knocking]

Everything okay in there?

Just a sec.

[Toilet flushes]

Everything okay, Miss Wilson?

Sorry, I had to, uh...

Um...

Miss Wilson,

you know this is a...

bathroom for little boys.

Sorry, I um...

had to...

Go to class.

Everything's fine.

Next time, try to get

to the staff bathroom, yeah.

And you might want to, uh...

clean up.

sh*t.

Babe.

Babe, come on, we're just

not gonna talk about this?

Do you understand

what you did today?

I could have been fired.

Or worse, like, like

arrested worse.

Wait, I didn't

make you do anything.

You don't f*ck me

for months, then you

barge into my work with

that 'I need you' sh*t?

Yeah, you kinda did.

God, are you trying

to ruin this for me?

You know,

I have sat on the sidelines.

I have sacrificed so that

you've had space

to try to make your

impossible dreams come true.

Woah, I'm not gonna apologize

for taking some risks.

And I never can because

you use all the risk up.

I-- I moved here for you.

I left my whole life behind.

What life?

God, your music?

Then why aren't you

at your show?

Tim, if you think

I've trapped you,

why don't you f*cking leave?

I can't.

I don't think I'm okay.

It's like my brain and

my body aren't talking.

You don't understand.

I guess I don't.

Wait, where are you going?

To clean up your mess.

Sound familiar?

Do you want me to come?

What do you want, Tim?

I can't make every

decision for you.

I'm not your f*cking mother,

even if I'm starting

to feel like her.

What's that supposed to mean?

Like I'm living with

something that's dead.

[Rings bell]

[Millie clears throat]

- Millie.

- [Millie] Hi.

Hey.

The yellow house

on the corner.

Yeah.

So today,

I just wanted

to apologize again.

I'm so embarrassed

about um,

Oh, that.

Oh, no.

Don't even mention it.

That's...

female

issues.

It's, please don't no.

Say no more, please.

Thanks.

Hey, what's wrong?

Sorry, um...

It's just been a

really stressful day.

Tim and I just

had a big fight.

Sorry.

This is not your problem.

Wanna come inside?

I don't wanna intrude.

Miss Wilson,

I insist you intrude.

I'll get you a

glass of water.

You sure I can't tempt

you with anything stiffer?

No.

Water's fine.

Thanks.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I keep thinking

this was a mistake.

Like,

since the move, Tim and I

haven't been on the same page.

Then maybe we haven't been on

the same page for a while

and we're just

too scared to admit it.

Do you, uh...

do you love each other?

I mean, yeah.

Of course.

Right? But,

I mean, I don't remember

life before Tim, so...

maybe we're just complacent.

Well, you know,

complacency can

sometimes simply be harmony.

Do you wanna hear something

I teach my 9th grade

history class?

Desperately.

Plato wrote that

the ancient Greeks

believed we were created

with four arms,

four legs, and a head

with two faces.

But, Zeus feared our power,

so he split us

into two separate parts,

dooming us to

spend our lives in

search of the other half.

If you think you've

found that,

don't be so quick

to let it go.

Well, if Plato says so.

[Jamie laughs]

Is it just you here?

Sorry.

That's none of my business.

Oh, no. Please, God.

I'm the one prying.

Uh, yeah, there were two

of us when we

first bought this place.

And we were probably

around the same age

as you guys,

probably had the same

issues, same fights.

And there was a brief time

where I actually

did walk away.

And it was liberating.

I had the freedom to

do whatever I wanted.

So what did you do?

Oh, nothing.

[Jamie laughs]

I was miserable.

Yeah.

I just didn't know

how to exist on my own.

I, I,

I even started to

miss the fights we had.

Yeah.

For better or worse,

I was me

because of him.

I bet you miss him.

You know,

I have a tape of my wedding

that I have been looking

for an excuse to, uh--

Uh, you know,

that sounds great,

but I should head back.

Thanks.

Next time.

Sorry.

Sorry, okay, I didn't know

where else to go.

[Melancholic music plays]

Babe, you ready for bed?

Babe?

Are you asleep?

I'm sorry.

I wish I could be what either

of us wants me to be.

[Creaking noise]

Oh, sh*t!

[Suspenseful music playing]

What? No. Come on.

What?

f*ck.

[Bang]

[Creaking sounds]

[Tim]

Mil?

[Sliding on glass]

[Glass rattling]

[Door shaking]

Alright, f*ck this!

Oh f*ck!

Oh sh*t!

Baby, baby, wake up!

Wake up!

Millie, wake up!

Baby!

[Slap]

[Millie and Tim gasping]

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

Maybe it was like a seizure.

A seizure?

Since when have you had

seizures or sleep walked?

It's probably stress,

and you're not helping.

Look, I think something

happened to me in the cave.

something that's

making me act insane.

And now it's like,

it's like it's in you too.

Alright, that missing couple,

those hikers,

they were on the same path

that took us to the cave.

What if whatever happened to

them is happening to us?

I feel fine.

Well, that's because

you're awake.

You're adrenalized.

Okay? I think it gets

worse at night.

It's like when

the mind gets tired,

the body can take over.

Listen to what you're saying.

Alright, remember that morning

our legs stuck together?

You said that was just mildew.

Since when do I know

anything about mildew?

I don't even know

what it f*cking is.

After we had sex,

we couldn't separate.

Explain that.

It had been a while?

That always makes it

a little painful.

Babe.

Okay. Alright.

Put your hand up like this.

Try not to touch mine.

You'll feel it.

Babe, please.

This is ridiculous.

I'm going to bed.

Come on.

It's like we're magnetic,

babe, please.

I think you should sleep

in the spare room tonight.

I agree, we need to

keep our distance.

Babe, wait.

I know why you stopped.

Because the moment

you got there,

I wanted you to stop.

I felt it.

That's not...

it's...

that doesn't make any sense.

Then how come I know

exactly what you're feeling?

The pull, the thirst

in your bones, babe,

something inside us has

imprinted on each other.

We're sick, okay?

I can't explain it,

but it's that place.

It has to be.

- Tim.

- We need answers.

I'm gonna go back.

[Millie]

Go back?

Yeah, as soon as

there's light, I'll go.

You know my parents are

coming for lunch Sunday?

Yeah, why?

I don't think you

should be here.

What does that mean?

It means,

I don't want you...

I don't want you.

[Suspenseful music]

I love you.

Okay.

[Door closes]

[Rustling]

[Sliding sounds]

[Door creaking]

[Whisper] What the f*ck...

[Bones cracking]

[Intense music plays]

[Gurgling noise]

[Pounding on door]

[Rattling and

pounding continues]

[Door creaks open]

[Tim screaming]

[Millie crying]

[Millie screams]

[Tim]

Oh, God!

Why is this happening?

[Snapping sound]

Ahh, Millie!

[Tim]

Fight it!

Baby, you gotta fight it!

[Pained screams]

[Tim]

Ah!

[Millie moaning]

[Snapping sounds

Millie screams]

I just want to die!

Baby, look at me.

Stay with me.

We can do this.

Okay, do what?

The drugs,

the pills... the drawer.

What?

Muscle-

relaxant!

[Violent snapping sounds]

Valium, Valium!

It's called diazepam now.

f*cking child-lock!

Hold it out!

How many?

Just take them, just...

It'll kick in quicker

if we snort them!

Just put your feet

against mine...

and then push away!

I can't do it.

Yes, you can.

You're so f*cking strong.

You can do this.

Push, baby.

[Millie screaming]

We only need to last

a couple minutes.

Push!

Push!

[Tim]

We got this!

I can do it.

We got this.

Just keep pushing.

[Tim]

Keep pushing!

Just keep pushing!

Just keep...

Just keep pushing...

[Sticky sounds]

Babe?

I was hoping I'd have more

time before you woke up.

It's gonna be okay.

What's going on?

Sorry, we don't have time for

you to "hem" and "haw"

about this.

About what?

Woah babe, this is a

weird time for a joke.

It's not getting worse,

so the drugs must still

be in our system, right?

Wait.

Wait, wait.

Babe, babe,

I wasn't even sure

that was the right tool

to fix the f*cking porch.

Listen, when the pills

wear off,

it's gonna start again.

No, babe, babe, babe.

Imagine what you're about

to do actually happening,

and tell me that's not gonna

make things way worse.

Whiskey for the pain...

and as soon as

we're separated,

I'll sprint for

the first aid kit.

We have bandages,

disinfectant,

everything we need!

Ah, you're right handed.

Oh, God.

Actually, maybe that's

enough of that.

What, why?

I think I can

feel your whiskey.

You're right

handed and drunk.

Remember when you said you

weren't holding me hostage?

Do you think

I wanna do this?

No. So don't.

We are out of time.

We need to do this

while the drugs

are still in our system,

then we can get help.

I'm sorry.

We have to.

If we don't split now,

it'll be much harder later.

There's gotta be another way.

[Stretching sounds]

Do it.

Do it.

[Tim]

Ahh!

- [Millie] Sorry.

- [Tim] Ahh!

Sorry.

Okay.

Careful, Careful!

Alright, I'm doing it.

Then do it!

I'm doing it.

Just do it.

I'm doing it.

Then do it!

By the way, I'm sorry I

didn't believe you before.

You were right, obviously.

Babe, just go!

I'm gonna go.

[Sawing sound]

[ ]

Stop, a doctor isn't gonna

be able to fix this!

Get in the trunk.

We need to keep as much

distance as possible.

- No

- Honey, the pills are

gonna wear off.

I know, but more pills

is just a band aid.

We need answers.

Tim, I just sawed

through our f*cking arms.

We are going to the hospital.

Okay.

Oh wait... sh*t.

What?

What's going on?

My keys.

I think I left them

at Jamie's.

Why-- why would you do that?

I didn't do it on purpose.

- [Tim] Sorry.

- [Millie] Come on.

You coming?

I'll wait.

Like you said, distance.

Tim, don't do anything stupid.

[Dramatic music starts]

[Rings bell] Jamie?

Jamie?

[Sticky noise]

I'm so sorry,

it's-- it's me.

I'm just...

we need help.

It's,

it's serious...

sh*t.

[Tinny music plays]

Jamie?

Jamie?

[Indistinct sound]

Hello?

[Indistinct chatter]

[Slicing sound]

[Whisper] What the f*ck?

[Applause]

[TV static]

The happiest day of our life.

I'll give these back,

don't worry.

What is this?

The beginning of

something wonderful.

[Whisper] the f*ck?

[Tim screaming]

Help me!

Stay away from me.

We were scared at first too.

Everybody is,

but this is a great gift.

Such lucky few are we

who become whole.

No, I don't want this.

The connection is deeper than

anything you could

ever imagine.

No more walls.

Share fears and memories.

This is the hardest part.

You just have to push through.

Please.

What awaits is the ultimate

intimacy in divine flesh.

Stop it.

It's already happening.

You wouldn't like

the alternative.

[Moaning]

[Tim screaming]

Help me!

Millie!

[Creature]

Millie!

Rejoice in the intimacy

that awaits.

No dissonance, only warmth.

I'm sorry, but it's best

to be open for each other.

It will hurry things along.

[Millie gasps]

[Millie]

Ah!

The God's jealousy has robbed

you of your perfect form.

Yet divine happiness

is flowing through us.

You will be so warm.

[Creature]

Help me.

[Creature]

Help me.

[Creature]

Come back.

[Tim straining]

[Tim screams]

Ahh!

[ ]

Don't come any closer.

I know, I know!

This thing,

it's happened before.

We're not the first.

I know.

You went there.

Oh sh*t!

[Millie screams]

I saw something down there.

I think I know how to stop it.

What are you doing?

We can't fight it forever.

No! Stay back!

It's okay, you can let go.

Honey, I'm serious.

Don't come any closer.

No.

There's only one way

to end this.

What are you doing?

What I should have done

a long time ago.

[Tim laughs]

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Babe,

I used to worry

I wouldn't remember

who I was without you,

but,

the truth is

I remember exactly who I was.

Okay?

I was, I was miserable.

I was incomplete, cold,

so much time wasted

thinking about

some other life

where all my bullshit

adolescent dreams

came true, but,

babe, you are the dream

that came true.

I'm so sorry it

took me so long,

but I just,

I f*cking suck and I,

I love you so much.

I love you so much.

Close your eyes.

What?

Trust me, close your eyes.

Tim, what are you doing?

This won't end until

one of us is dead.

Okay?

Babe, I don't want you

to see this.

We don't have time, okay?

No, you don't have to.

You don't have to.

It's gonna be okay.

You'll be okay.

Please just drop it.

Just drop it.

Please just-- just drop it.

Babe, babe, babe!

Oh sh*t!

Oh sh*t, oh God!

Baby, hey, hey.

Hey, stay with me, baby,

hey yes, yeah, hey,

You gotta run.

You gotta be free.

I'll never be free from you.

Never.

Promise me one thing.

Anything.

You'll make my final post

"BRB dying."

[Tim laughs]

Hey, hey, hey,

Millie, Millie!

No, no, hey, Millie!

Millie! sh*t.

Baby, baby.

Baby, stay with me,

please.

No, no, no, baby!

[Tim crying]

[ ]

[Door creaks open]

[Foot steps]

What have you done?

It was the only way

to stop the bleeding.

What?

No.

No, no.

I was trying to let you go.

Did you wanna let me go?

What are you doing?

It's your favorite album,

right?

You remember that?

I always imagined it as

our first dance, but...

because maybe that

won't happen now.

[Spice Girls music starts]

Are you sure you want this?

I do.

[Shirt ripping]

[Shirt ripping]

I love you.

I love you too.

[Song lyrics]

"When two become one"...

[Skin stretching]

[Bones cracking]

[Bones cracking]

[Suction noises]

[Moans]

[Birds chirping]

[Lighthearted music plays]

Hey.
