Meathook (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Oh no.

Mm, poor thing.

Aw.

Aw.

I just hate seeing poor,

cute, little cuddly things

get squished, don't you?

Brayden and I are

driving back to the city

after our six-month

anniversary trip to Big Bear.

And let me tell you guys,

camping was so much fun.

Wasn't it?

C'mon, Hailey, I'm driving.

Do you really have

to record everything?

Poor Bray, Bray's

just a little grumpy.

'Cause he gets these nasty

nosebleeds at high altitudes.

Just in case you're wondering

why it looks like he's

trying to sneeze out

the Invisible Man.

That's all for now.

Thank you, guys, so much

for watching another episode

of the "DailyHailey."

Bye.

It's all just Christian rock

and then whatever this pop is.

I think that's Halsey.

She's so talented.

Halsey?

Sounds fake.

Whatever happened to, you

know, Hall & Oates?

Is that like a cereal?

Yes, Hailey, that's a cereal.

It's right between

Life and Cap'n Crunch

Because I love Honey

Bunches of Oats.

It's so good.

Can't wait to get back

and just take a nice

long, hot shower.

Oh, my God.

Do you know what's around here?

Illiteracy?

Inbreeding?

-No, silly.

We're about to pass the spot

where all those murders

happened a couple years ago.

Remember, it was

all over the news?

"The Meathook m*ssacre."

Sounds like a bad

horror movie title.

Get this.

It says here, they never

found the guy who k*lled them.

Isn't that so crazy?

By the look of it, probably

one of these locals.

Brayden, ooh, we

gotta stop, please.

It's coming up here

right off the highway.

Mmm, this will be perfect

for my vlog.

Hailey, please

c'mon, I am so tired.

I don't wanna go gawking

at some m*rder scene

for your video views.

It, it won't take long.

Just five minutes.

Promise.

Okay, fine.

Five minutes though, that's it.

It's gonna be so much fun.

The exit's coming up here

right off the highway.

Are you sure this

is the right road?

I don't see any cabins.

I'm sure it's just

over that hill there.

Let's stop and we'll hike

up, it can't be that far.

My God, I think this is it.

You don't even

know this is a spot.

There's-I have this, like, map

from this website.

-What, Google Maps?

I have that too.

-No, it's not Google Maps.

I'm, like, reading

about the whole thing.

This is gonna be so lit.

Oh my, God, I'm

gonna live stream it.

This is gonna be so amazing.

Whoopee.

Just two minutes, I promise.

Alright, y'all, welcome

back to the "DailyHailey."

Bray Bray and I are

hiking to the site

of one of the most gruesome

crime scenes ever discovered.

As you know, it was at

this cabin we're hiking to

that the police discovered

the bodies of three people,

their corpses ripped to shreds

by what locals call

The Meathook Man.

Bah.

Real classy - Shut up,

I'm live streaming.

So there was this one girl

who survived the whole thing,

after her BFF and

her bae got filleted.

She told the police that they

were attacked by a psycho

wearing a mask made of,

get this, animal bones.

Sounds like a

homicidal furry to me.

Do you mind?

I'm trying to give the audience

some much needed exposition.

Expo what?

Apparently, the

k*ller stabbed her

with a meat hook and

she barely got away,

so now she's like partially

paralyzed or some sh*t.

My cousin had class with her

at Valley College in the city.

Isn't that like so

cray?

What was that?

What?

Oh no.

Do we have a surprise guest?

Could it be the Meathook Man,

back for more bodies

to sink his hooks into?

Okay, stop.

Just, just cut it out, okay,

I really heard something.

God, are we almost there?

We've been walking forever.

A real rugged, outdoorsy

man we have here, folks.

Just roughing it here...

sh*t.

I lost service.

Do you have any?

Probably not.

Nope.

Can we just go back.

Come on.

It's been like a mile.

No, no, no, no, let's

just go a little farther.

We'll take some pictures

and then we'll leave, okay?

You got like two minutes?

-Yeah, two minutes.

-Two more.

Mm-hmm.

Yep. Great.

Just a couple more.

Okay, now do one where I look

like I'm scared.

Oh no, the Meathook

Man is after me.

What do I do?

Yeah, that's not morbid at all.

Oh, no.

-Perfect.

-Help.

Help me.

Oh.

-That's right.

He's right behind you.

Yep.

Oh, help me.

-Yep.

Here he comes with his big hook

and his dead animal bones.

-Oh, my God.

Turn around.

There's someone behind you.

Perfect, the gram's

gonna love it.

No, I'm f*cking

serious, Brayden.

There's somebody behind you.

I, I, I, I'm sorry.

We were, we were

just taking photos.

We can leave.

It was her idea for- No,

Brayden, let's just go.

No, we don't... It's our...

- No, this is

not- - Watch out!

No!

Oh, God.

Oh, oh.

Hailey.

Come on, come on, come on.

sh*t.

f*ck.

Oh, thank God.

sh*t.

Please, please,

please,

No! Don't!

Please don't hurt me!

God no, please no.

Please no!

No, please no.

Ugh, come on.

Where's that other highlighter?

Cheese!

Oh sh*t, that's my bad.

I should have knocked.

No, no, it's, it's fine.

Oh, what?

-what's wrong?

Oh, hey, I'm still here.

Thanks.

God, you must love having an

emotional wreck for a roommate.

Stop, are you kidding me?

I come from a long line of

emotionally wrecked people,

you make me feel right at home.

Seriously, though.

I wish I was more like you

and can just turn on the

waterworks like that.

Frick.

I don't know how I'm gonna

make it as an actress

and I can't cry on cue.

Well, don't they teach

you that type of stuff

in drama school?

True drama, darling,

comes from within.

I bet it does.

So you almost done

studying for your midterms?

Yeah, just a little

last minute cramming.

Well, I say we give your

brain a little break

and you come

downstairs and help.

We're decorating for

the party tomorrow.

You gonna be home?

Yeah, but, uh,

I think I'm just gonna

sit that one out.

Jordyn, come on.

You sit them all out.

You know, it's

almost spring break

and you've been isolated in

this room all semester long.

It's not healthy.

Seriously, think

about your skin.

Well, you need some

vitamin D.

I know, I know.

It's just tough sometimes.

Trust me, I get it.

You know, if all my

friends were butchered

by some psycho freaks,

probably need some me-time too.

But don't you think it's time

to join the real world again?

Alright.

Yeah?

-Alright.

-Yeah.

I'll be down in a minute,

but I have to leave

for class soon.

Okay, fine.

I better see you downstairs

in a second though, okay?

Okay.

Otherwise, I'm

gonna have to come up here

and drag you out,

okay?

Hey.

Um, is she coming down?

Yeah, she said she is.

Okay, good, because I can't

hang all of these decorations

by myself.

Oh, and remember what I told

you about Jordyn, okay, Chad.

Don't go asking her

stupid questions

about what happened

to her again.

What do you mean?

All I was asking was like,

"What it's like to

be the final girl?"

That's a good

question, actually.

What?

What the f*ck is a

final girl, first off?

The final girl, how do

y'all not know this?

The last girl that survives

in every slasher film

is a final girl, like

Jennifer Love Hewitt, right?

Okay, like you,

you would be like the super

hot, really mean girl.

I'm like the, you know,

like the good looking guy

who probably saves somebody.

Like, you're kind of

like the slutty friend

who is really- I'm

the slutty one?

Yeah, you're funny,

like you're...

- Okay, are you-

- You're a friend.

Okay, okay, okay.

-Jordyn's the final girl.

-Are you done yet?

Uh, there's more characters,

but I can be done.

Yeah, please.

So this is the kind of sh*t

that I am talking about.

And quite frankly, Jordyn's

f*cked up enough as it is

without hearing

your stupid mouth.

Dude! Emma, chill.

-Jesus Christ.

-What?

I mean, am I wrong?

She's been here

for nearly a year

and she barely leaves her room.

Okay, well, she's just

been through a lot of sh*t,

so lay off.

-Yeah.

She's the final girl, so

it's like chill - Shut up.

Hey, girl.

Do you wanna help us

with these decorations?

Sure.

Hey, Chad.

-Hey.

Some right over there.

Yeah, yeah, I got it, uh...

Here you go, they say

there's lights in here.

They're a little tank-

sh*t, Jesus, my bad.

I forgot that you're, you got a-

It's fine. It's fine.

-You got a bad hand.

-It's fine.

-It doesn't work.

-It's fine.

Then...

Oh, who's got food covered?

Oh, I'm gonna be the

grill meister today.

Um, so y'all like meat, right?

So I'm gonna do hot

dogs, bratwurst,

juicy hamburgers, right?

You wanna hot, you like

you like hot dogs, right?

-Um...

-Steak?

Something, something good.

-Yeah, hey, Chad.

-On the grill.

-Jordyn doesn't eat meat.

You know that, right?

-Wow.

-But it's, it's fine.

I can always find

something else.

We'll do chicken.

We'll do...

-It's meat.

-Chicken is meat, idiot.

-sh*t.

We'll just swing

by the FoodMart.

We'll get some veggie options.

-Okay.

-Jesus Christ.

-Oh.

-I should be going, though.

I don't want be

late for my midterm,

-Alright.

-But I'll see ya.

-You'll do great.

-Thanks.

Yeah, good luck,

I hope you do good.

-Thanks.

-And remember,

work hard today, we're

gonna party hard tomorrow.

You got that right.

It's gonna be off the hook.

Uh, not the, no, not like hook.

Not like the guy who

k*lled all your friends.

I'm just saying-

It's fine, Chad.

It's gonna be a good party.

Thanks, guys, I'll be here.

-Alright.

-Yeah.

-Bye, babe.

-Bring your friends all the same.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You couldn't

have said anything else.

Literally anything.

You could have literally

said anything else.

That sounded worse

than it actually was.

I don't even think she heard

most of what I was saying.

Yeah, that's

totally bullshit.

-That's fine.

-Yeah.

-Let's just move on.

-That was great.

Let's just move on.

Dumbass.

I guess I'll decorate

this party myself.

That b*stard!

What kind of professor signs

an essay over Spring Break?

A sadist, that's who.

I oughta report him to the dean.

Do you got his number?

At least the midterm's over.

Yeah, but could there

have been any more

short answer questions?

God, I don't know

how I'm gonna survive

with all these exams.

Speaking of Spring Break,

what are your plans?

The invitation is still

open, in case you-

I don't wanna be on

your podcast, Grayson.

Oh, c'mon, a lot

of true crime buffs

would love to hear your story.

Yes, so would Barbara Walters.

But even her people took the

hint and stopped calling.

Ouch.

Shots fired, man down.

Besides, I don't wanna

bore your audience

with the same old stuff.

Oh, c'mon, it is

the age-old story.

Girl goes into the woods

in the middle of nowhere

with her friends,

girl's friends get k*lled

by a meat hook wielding maniac.

Girl survives... Barely.

Has a nervous breakdown,

tries rebuilding the

pieces of her life.

Blah, blah, blah.

I'm sure they've

heard it all before.

Ha, don't underestimate

the audience's appetite

for morbid stories, okay?

They eat it up.

They are drawn to tragedy.

Speaking of which... Bam!

Check out my new business card.

Nice.

I mean, big improvement

over your last ones

where you just scribbled

out the name and number

off of someone else's.

Yeah, I know, I mean, I

figured it was time for me

to step my game up,

especially after my

dentist found out

I was the one that was

stealing his business cards,

'cause people kept calling

the office looking for me.

So, should I alert

the presses now

about your upcoming appearance

on my renowned show,

"Crime Fanatics,"

or should we keep it a

surprise for when it airs?

Let's just wait and see.

Maybe next semester.

C'mon, Jordyn.

Who knows, it could

be really cathartic.

It's better to let things out

than just keep your feelings

bottled up like that.

I'll think about it.

Have a good break, Grayson.

Well, call me if you

change your mind.

Freaking fro-yo.

Maybe could add a little

more sugar in here next time.

Yeah. Sawyer.

Detective Sawyer,

it's Robert Reyes.

Reyes, you old son of a g*n.

How

the hell you been, Kim?

Oh, yeah, oh, gee,

I'm just flying,

you know, outside

a high cholesterol

and this can't eat crap

ola diet I'm on, you know,

I'm just hunky dory.

So, what is up, son?

Well, I just thought

you might like to know,

we just uncovered two bodies

up here in the canyons.

Some guy walking his dog came

across them and called it in.

They look all torn to sh*t.

Looks a hell of a lot

like that group of kids

we found a couple years back.

I remember you worked

that case, right?

Yeah, me and about

every other badge.

Uh, Detective Tyson

was the lead on that.

What's his take on this?

I can't say,

seeing he's fly-fishing

in Lake Sonoma,

milking his retirement.

Oh, that lucky SOB.

Well, what are you

calling me for?

I'm in missing persons now, man.

I, I don't, I, I don't

mess with homicide anymore.

It's bad for your indigestion.

Kim, you're the next

closest detective I have

to the case.

I, I need your help.

Look, I'm just a

couple of years away

from fly-fishing myself,

and I am not looking

to get involved

in this kind of a case again.

So, Reyes, old buddy,

you're just gonna have to

find yourself somebody else.

Sawyer, we think

it might be the same guy.

What-what's the MO?

Same m*rder weapon?

Well, forensics

is checking it out now,

but it sure as

hell looks like it.

Ah.

sh*t.

-We found some tire tracks.

We traced the vehicle

back to one of the victims

using their ID.

Highway patrol has an

APB out for it right now.

But, Sawyer, they found the

guy's stomach disemboweled.

Ah, sh*t.

Okay.

We combed those

woods for two months

after we found

those kids' bodies.

It just can't be

it, there's no way.

That one girl,

she moved to the city

afterwards, right?

What was her name again?

Jordyn?

Jordyn?

Earth to Jordyn.

Sorry, what?

I was just asking

how you're feeling.

Any increase in

depression, anxiety,

maybe some suicidal thoughts?

No, none of that.

Good, good.

Okay, it says here in the notes

that the previous grad student

diagnosed you with

occasional nightmares.

Are you still having them?

Uh, every now and again, yeah.

They seem to come and go.

But the medication I

take seems to help.

Mm, the anti-anxiety, yes.

We'll get you a refill

before you leave.

Can I tell you a secret?

You know what I do

that makes me sleep

really well at night?

I find a dark room, I

light up some incense.

I play a little Seal,

maybe some Beach

Boys, catch a vibe.

And I get a nice strain

of Indica marijuana.

I light it up and get blazed.

I'm talking

ba*ls-to-the-wall blazed.

And you know what

the funny part is?

I sleep like a baby,

and it really works.

Uh, okay.

Wait, can I ask you something?

Have you ever

microdosed LSD shrooms?

No.

They work wonders.

I mean, I'm totally

blitzed right now

and you wouldn't

guess that, would you?

Would you?

No, I guess not.

Eh! Wrong.

I'm high as a kite

and it feels amazing.

I'm so in one with myself.

I feel like Elton

John in a music video.

Anyway, back to you.

Where were we again?

Please tell me.

Oh.

Back to this.

Um...

Wow, it looks like you've

experienced a traumatic loss.

Friends m*rder*d,

meat hook, psychopath.

Oh, my God, this sounds like

the plot to a horror movie.

You've been in

some serious sh*t.

Have you opened up about

this to any close friends?

Um...

Besides my roommates,

no, not really.

There's this guy in class,

he keeps asking me

to be on his podcast,

some true crime show.

I guess he recognized

me the first day

and hasn't really let up since.

It's annoying, but kind of cute.

Hm.

Well, have you thought

about getting on the show

and maybe becoming

friends with him?

No, not really.

Think about it.

He could be a good

sympathetic friend

to lean on a shoulder with.

It's just been hard

letting myself get really

close to anybody right now.

And why do you think that is?

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I'm

scared I might lose them

like I lost my other

friends, or...

Uh...

Maybe they might think I'm

damaged goods or something.

Do you still find yourself

thinking back to that day a lot?

-Right.

-I'm good.

Look at this place.

Seriously. Wow.

Okay.

-Wow.

-So this is like a real cabin

'cause when you said cabin,

I was literally expecting

like maybe a hut,

like, maybe nothing like this.

Let's get

this sh*t going.

We still have

service out here, right?

I didn't have

service on the way up.

-Oh.

-Oh, wow.

Oh, my God.

-Wow.

-Look at all this.

Look at all this.

-Wow.

This is your uncle's place.

-Sure is.

-Yo.

This place f*ck!

Yo, Jordyn, watch out.

Wow, that is some wall.

Holy...

-Yeah.

-Man.

-My uncle has a fetish.

What can I say?

-No, you have a nice family.

You know what?

The funny thing about this one

is that I'm pretty sure

I went to middle school

with this girl.

You know, we're gonna

check up the upstairs.

-Y'all have fun now.

-'Cause I feel like

that's gonna be a

whole different...

-Chris.

-And I'm gonna see you guys-

We'll be right back.

Give us five minutes.

-Just when we get back-

-After we get here.

-No, it's just gonna be...

We're just

having.

Yeah, okay.

See you tomorrow.

C'est la vie

They're like rabbits.

Thank God they're not

multiplying like them.

Yeah.

Well, if they're rabbits,

then what are we?

Dolphins, for sure.

That's right, we are.

I almost forgot.

-What?

-Close your eyes.

-Why?

-It's a surprise.

Fine.

Okay, now turn around.

No peeking.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Now just keep 'em shut.

Are you gonna k*ll me?

That's later.

Mm.

Okay, now open up.

-Is this the...

-That's the arrowhead that we found

on our hike here last time.

And you had it

put on a necklace.

Yeah, I read that Native

Americans would wear them

as a form of protection

to ward off evil

and negative energy.

So I guess I won't be

needing you anymore

now that I have this.

I guess not.

I love it.

Really.

Now how about we give 'em

a run for their money?

So are we starting with

the vodka or the whiskey?

Cue because I'm doing vodka

right now to be a 100%, huh?

'Cause

... Dude, not cool.

Yes, Eduardo, what

the actual f*ck?

I am trying to score us dinner-

No, - babe, all right?

I'm the hunter,

you're the gatherer.

- Boy, shut- - He's

the stick holder.

Dude, shut the f*ck up.

Where did you get that anyways?

Oh, I found this in the cabin

underneath an old stack

of nudie magazines.

You can still...

-No, of course you'd do that.

Also, how do you know

you're not k*lling

an endangered species

or some sh*t?

-No, I'm not.

What are the odds of

that, right, Todd?

There's nothing out here that's...

-She's right.

Hoo.

I wouldn't be hunting in

these parts of the woods

if I were you.

-No, come on.

That old wives tale

about the hillbilly

who's out here stalking

campers with a machete?

What wives tale?

Oh yeah, you told me

that story last time.

But it wasn't a machete.

It was like a...

It was a meat hook.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

Cue the creepy

origin story, Todd.

You can ask the people

in town, they'll tell ya.

Legend has it, there was a man

that lived in a cabin,

not far from here.

Ooh, legend has it.

You know what that means.

-f*ck up.

-Ow.

He was like a doctor, right?

Well, he was the

town's veterinarian

tending to the local

livestock and sick animals.

He married a Native American

woman from a nearby tribe,

despite the wishes

of her family.

So pretty much every

relationship I've ever been in.

Cool.

While his

wife was in the woods

picking berries one day,

she was shot and k*lled

by a party of hunters.

Ah, what

I get, what I get?

No.

What did you do?

How did you not

see it was a girl?

-We gotta get some help, man.

-Are you f*cking kidding me?

Do you wanna go to prison?

-No.

-I don't, let's go.

We can't just leave her, Lonnie.

Oh, my God.

Seriously?

-Yeah.

Grace!

After finding the body,

the man confronted the hunters,

but they drunkenly

laughed it off.

Why you got stuff?

- Maybe you- - I'll k*ll you!

f*ck you!

-Get the f*ck outta here,

dude, go and check your

f*cking neighbors up.

Dismissing her as

just some Indian.

Hashtag Indigenous lives matter.

Eduardo, stop.

Then, his heart poisoned by hate

and consumed by an

animalistic rage,

either by some curse or spirit

in the woods, who knows?

But he snapped, taking

revenge on the hunters,

k*lling them with

the same meat hooks

they used to carry their kills.

But once the townspeople

found out about the hunters,

a mob went to his cabin

and burned it all down,

along with all the sick

and injured animals inside.

Poor things.

The man narrowly

escaped into the woods,

where rumor has it, he

remains to this day,

waiting to exact

revenge on anyone

who dares disturb the

sacred resting place

of his m*rder*d wife.

Some have said they've seen

him stalking in the woods,

mask made of animal bones,

part animal himself,

k*lling until he's reunited

with his long lost love.

So a heterosexual, white

male serial k*ller.

Great, never heard

of that before.

Well, this Black girl has

officially freaked the f*ck out.

And we are going home.

Aw, come on.

I've been coming here

since I was a kid.

Jordyn and I were here

just a few weeks ago.

It's just an old wives tale

to keep kids from

wandering in the woods

and a warning sign for hunters

to be careful when hunting game.

Yeah, okay, if you

two go missing,

they'll spend 20 years

to bring you back.

If we go missing, it's

the first 48 hours.

Y'all have a great time.

-It happened like what,

back in the '70s?

-Yeah.

-The guy has to be like at least 60 now.

You know what?

Never underestimate

the fragile male ego.

We're going,

Chris,

i-it's just a story.

Let's go, it's coming for us.

We gotta get outta here.

Come on, guys.

It's coming after us.

We gotta go.

Ooh!

I try not to think

about it as much,

but I guess I

still do sometimes.

Oh.

sh*t.

Whoops, looks like I smoked

a little bit too much Indica

before work today.

But, to be fair, you

were staring off to space

for about 10 minutes

before we started.

So we're even, don't worry.

It happens with

all of our patients

that suffer from

flashbacks, okay?

Now where was I?

Oh, look, from what I see here,

it looks like you're

making progress.

But my advice, seriously,

besides the whole

getting baked thing,

is you gotta learn to

let go and live a little.

Quit running away

from your pain.

Embrace it as part

of who you are.

Looks like you came a long way.

And just remember, whatever's

happened to you in the past

can no longer hurt you.

Yeah, man, I just

finished my last exam.

Yeah, I definitely aced it, bro.

What you talking about?

Oh, wait, wait,

wait, wait, hold on.

Uh, I think my

ride share's here.

Yeah.

Yeah, man, I'm on my way

to the airport right now,

so I should be...

Oh, my God, bro, what the

hell is that smell, bro?

Did something just crawl

in your car and die, dude?

Oh, my God.

Bro, why does this

dude car smell

like, like straight up a*s, yo?

Nah, real talk, like for real.

Wait, hold on, wait,

wait, wait, hold on.

Oh, sh...

Oh, sh*t, bro, that is,

that is definitely you.

That is definitely you.

That is definitely a

one star for me, man.

Bro, oh.

Kinda...

Yo, what kinda

weird cosplay sh*t is this?

Oh, sh*t.

Yo, yo, I'm sorry,

I, I, I put it down.

I didn't know if there's some

some sentimental value to you.

Yo, yo, chill, man.

Five stars plus a tip.

Yo, no, no, no...

No!

I got food

dying in the window here.

I need more fries on the line.

Order of fries up.

Order coming in, that's two

chili dogs, one no onions-

Hey, J, mind if

I pollute my lungs with you?

What happened?

Emma banish you outside for

toking in your room again.

Yes, dude, she's such a

f*cking weed n*zi, I swear.

Gosh, she is so uptight.

It's probably 'cause she's

just saving it for marriage.

I feel so bad for Chad.

The b*tch needs to loosen up.

Speaking of, do you wanna smoke?

Mm, I don't wanna get too loose.

I still have one

more midterm to go.

C'mon, just one hit.

Say yes.

Fine, one hit.

So how was your midterm?

It was all right.

Oh, that podcast boy

tried talking to me again

after class, asking me

to be a guest on his show

for like the umpteenth time.

You're kidding. Grayson?

-Mm-hmm.

-Again?

-Mm-hmm.

-Didn't anyone tell that boy

podcasts are like

just so last year?

I guess not, no.

I mean, he's kind of cute.

Huh?

But my luck, he just

probably has some weird thing

for victims.

Oh.

Maybe your m*rder wounds aren't

the only gashes he's into.

You know what?

He probably fantasizes about you

just jerking him off with

your paralyzed hands.

Stop, you are so

f*cking gross, Mack.

Like, my friend Shelly

had class with him.

She told me that his

parents were m*rder*d

in some robbery when he

was a kid or some sh*t.

I mean, that's probably why

he's such a crime junkie.

Hey, you guys could

probably bond, you know,

share your emotional

scars and whatnot.

Wait, really, his parents

were really k*lled?

Yeah, apparently he

saw the whole thing

happen right in front of him.

Pretty traumatizing, huh?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, and you thought

you had issues?

Oh, my God, wait.

You should totally invite

him to the party tomorrow.

No, no.

C'mon, Jordyn, we

talked about this.

You know, it's spring break.

It's a new season,

a new beginning,

a new leaf, new Jordyn.

You know, and if you

don't invite him, I will.

Fine, fine, I'll invite him.

Yes.

What was that?

It's

probably podcast boy

coming to interview you

for his show.

Shut up, Mack,

I'm being serious.

Hold on.

Oh, podcast boy.

Come out, come out

wherever you are.

Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo.

What are you doing out here?

Stop, don't do that.

Mackenzie?

Stop your scratching.

Aw, it's just little Wookie.

Hi, buddy, were

you hiding from us?

Yes, you were.

You want some dindin?

I think you want some dindin.

Oh, speaking of dindin,

we should probably

go to the FoodMart,

get some numnums for the party

tomorrow before they close.

Okay.

What is

the meaning of this?

I'm sorry, Ms. Vedder,

but it was necessary for us

to search your compartment.

Indeed.

May I ask what you

expected to find?

A

valuable jewel has been stolen

and a man has been m*rder*d.

We're making a routine

search of the entire carriage

and asking a few questions.

Go right ahead.

I

understand your journey

is rather a sad one.

Your mother...

Perhaps we'd better

not question Ms. Vedder

just now, Lestrade.

Huh?

Excuse us will you?

Grayson, come here.

"Law & Order" is on.

This is the one where the

lawyer k*lled his wife.

Coming, Gran.

In a coffin?

When is it not

a lawyer k*lling his wife?

That is the

customary method, I believe.

Lestrade, I think we'll

take a look at that coffin.

Might prove interesting.

I was

about to suggest

that very thing

myself, Mr. Holmes.

Oh.

Yes.

Okay. Ew.

How can something

that tastes so good

look so just the opposite.

Ugh.

Hey, you're always welcome

to share in some of

my herbivoric treats.

Pretty sure no one else will.

Oh, I am sure Grayson

would love to eat your treats.

Shut up.

I mean, unless he's vegan.

Well, you know what?

As long as he's a

pescatarian and eats fish.

You know what I'm saying?

That's not really a

deal breaker though.

-Huh?

-The being vegan part,

not the not eating fish.

I mean, does he ever

mention it in his podcast?

Jello? Jello shots.

Yes.

Duh.

-I don't know.

I've never actually listened.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

You're telling me you've

been dodging this kid,

but you haven't listened

to his podcast yet?

It sounds worse when you say it.

Well, I mean, maybe you

should listen to it.

You know what, he

probably has an episode

entitled, "I Love

Jordyn: Episode 1."

Oh, my God.

Yes.

You look so delicious.

Mwah.

You know what?

This is why we can't go grocery

shopping while we're high.

Shh, c'mon.

No, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay, listen, listen.

Okay, what?

-I asked...

-Uh-huh?

Sugar-free, low-fat donuts.

-Do you have any?

-Low-fat what?

What does it look like?

-Well you know what?

Just, just,

just-

Okay, forget it.

Just give me a, a, a

damn cup of coffee.

No sugar, no cream.

Okay, damn

coffee coming up.

Yeah, Reyes.

Yeah, what do you got?

-Here.

Damn cup of coffee.

-Sawyer, forensics came back

confirming the m*rder

weapon used on the couple

was likely some sort

of hooked blade.

Ah, sh*t.

A meat hook.

That's right.

And that's not all, get this.

An hour ago we found the

couple's car abandoned

outside a college in the Valley,

some poor kids guts

decorating the inside of it.

Ah, geez, son of, you know...

Wait, where did you say they

found that couple's car?

What school?

Um, let me see.

Uh, Valley College.

It's about, well,

two, three hours

from where the couple

was m*rder*d, why?

Well, you know what?

I think I might know where

this as*h*le's headed.

"Crime Fanatics."

All right, Grayson.

See what your little

show is all about.

Welcome, crime fans,

to another episode

of "Crime Fanatics,"

the podcast where we

dust off old case files,

dive in deep with our

own viral investigation.

I'm your host, Grayson Ellis.

Tonight's topic is something

I wasn't sure I could talk about

because, well, it

happened to me.

But, I feel like I'm ready

and I figured if the victims

of all the horrible crimes

we talk about on this show

are brave enough to

tell their stories,

then I ought to be

able to do the same.

You loyal listeners

might not know this,

but, when I

was eight years old,

my parents were,

they were m*rder*d.

Late one night, two men

broke inside our house.

I just remember my

mom shaking me awake,

hiding me under the bed,

and telling me to stay

there, keep quiet.

And I did.

Even after I heard them

break in, I stayed quiet.

Even after they shot my dad

and even after I

heard my mom scream.

Even after they pointed

the g*n and shot her,

I kept quiet, not moving,

not even a muscle.

Even after they finally left,

even when the police arrived,

I stayed there under the bed.

That's where the cops found me.

I'd give anything to go back

and do something, anything.

I've met other victims

of crimes out there

who feel the same way.

But what I learned is

we can't blame ourselves

and we can't change

what happened.

But we can change how we

let it shape who we are.

And we can control how

we choose to react to it.

And I came to the realization

that we have to

live our best lives

for those who aren't

here to live theirs.

Because life is too

short for regrets

or dwelling on painful memories

when there's so

many beautiful ones

you have you can cherish.

So that's what I choose to do.

And I hope anybody

out there listening,

who might be going through it,

can find the courage

to do the same.

It took me a while, but

I finally found mine.

As always, I'm your

host, Grayson Ellis.

Thanks for listening.

I figured if you weren't

doing anything or whatever,

my roommates are throwing

it at our house tonight.

Yeah, that, uh, that,

that, that sounds great.

But, full disclosure, I, I'm

not really a party guy, per se,

so I don't know how much fun

I, I'd be to have around.

Yeah, well, neither am I.

So we can be

wallflowers together.

Okay, well, then, and if

that's the, in that case, yeah.

Yeah, cool, uh...

Yeah, and thank you.

I, I'll definitely be there.

So, um... Nice necklace.

Is it new?

No, uh, I've had it for a while.

I just never felt

like wearing it.

Looks good on you.

Thanks.

So I, um, so I listened

to your podcast.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It was the, the episode

where you, um, you talked

about your parents.

Oh.

Huh. Yikes.

And you started

with that one, huh?

That one was, uh, it was tough.

It, it was really brave of you.

I mean, I didn't even know.

You never even talked about it.

I, I never really mentioned it,

probably 'cause, like you,

it's really difficult

for me to talk about it.

Plus, not exactly the

best conversation starter,

"Well, I heard some up f*cked

up sh*t happened to you,

me too."

Yeah, no, I don't think that one

would've gone over so well.

-True.

-Oh, my God, is that that weird guy, Grayson,

with the true crime podcast?

Isn't he so weird?

Come on, let's go.

I mean, that must have been

hard to deal with as a kid.

It was, but luckily I had

someone to take care of me,

you know, Grands or Grandma.

We didn't really talk about it

and doctors just shake their

heads and prescribe pills.

But talking about

it on the podcast,

it just really helped, you know?

Yeah, I, I can tell.

Look, I, I know I had it bad,

but all the victim blaming sh*t

that they put you and

your friends through,

it, it was f*cked up.

And I completely get why

you wouldn't wanna

relive those memories.

So I just wanted to

say that I'm sorry

about being such a

pest about the podcast

and just always pressuring

you and always just pushing.

And I, I, I, I'm not

gonna- No, don't.

I was thinking that, you know,

maybe over the break, if, um,

if the invitation's still open,

maybe you could have

me on as a guest.

I mean, public bashing aside,

I think it'd be good for me.

Really?

Yeah, - I, I mean, you

really don't have to.

I mean, I don't want

you to feel pressured

or anything like that.

-No, I do.

I want to.

I think it'd be good for me.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure, I mean, yeah,

we'll, we'll set that right up.

Well, see you tonight?

Yeah.

I wouldn't miss

it for the world.

I, I mean, just text

me your address,

and you, you still

have my card, right?

Yeah, I do.

I'll text you.

O-okay.

I...

I will see you tonight.

I'll see you tonight.

Don't be a spaz, Jordyn.

Uh, what's up?

Did something happen?

There's some

detective here to see you.

You may find this

hard to believe.

I, I'm always top, top score

in a physical fitness

test every year.

Well, I don't know

about this year, but...

No, no cream or sugar.

Yeah, damn diet's gonna k*ll me.

You know the, I, I

used to be portly.

Now they're calling it

borderline obese, you know, it's-

So that couple

that was m*rder*d,

you really think it

was the same guy?

Well, it just

seems a little coincidental

that we find their car hours

away parked at the same school

that you just happen

to be attending.

Now I'm not trying to

get y'all shook up.

I'm not saying it's

the same psycho

that, that attacked

you and your friends,

but, well, the couple we found

does seem to be mutilated

in the same fashion.

Holy sh*t.

What kind of animal would

do something like that?

Probably the same kind of animal

that, uh, watches

chainsaw, slasher pictures.

W-Why would he come back?

How would he know

where to find me?

Beats me, I, it could be

any number of reasons.

I mean, the point is

that we just can't afford to

be too careful or too cautious.

We just need to be safe,

which is why I wanna be

stationing an officer

outside of your house

for the next few days,

just in case he should show up.

What about the party?

W-W-What party?

Uh, my roommates are throwing

a spring break party.

Oh, well, you just

have to cancel it.

You know, a bunch of strangers

in and outta here all night,

th-that's just a bad idea.

No.

No way.

Okay, we have been planning

this party for weeks now,

so, it's too late to cancel.

Everybody already

knows about it.

-Jordyn, please come help!

-Okay, it's your call.

-Please, help!

-But I really think

you guys should play it

safe.

Jordyn!

Jordyn!

Jordyn!

Jordyn, run, run!

Jordyn?

Hey, you okay?

Ugh, poor kid.

Just remember, if your

gals need anything,

I'll just be parked

right outside.

And if that psycho's dumb

enough to show up here,

he's gonna be doing

the "Jailhouse Rock."

Uh huh huh

The what?

The Jailhouse...

You know, the, the, the

King, you know, the...

What do they teach you

guys in school now anyway?

How could you

not...

You know, I, I'll

just be outside.

Great.

The party hasn't

even started yet

and the cops have

already busted it.

Todd!

No!

Jordyn, run!

No.

Jordyn!

Please.

Don't!

Please, no, no.

Can you help me?

Let me in, please, please.

Let me in, please!

Please, let me in!

Whoa, chill.

I just came to borrow

that cute jacket of yours

for tonight, if

that's all right.

Um... Yeah.

Sure, uh...

Look, I'm sorry if

I've been really weird

about things recently,

I just, um...

Can you do me a favor, Emma?

And can you please just

cancel the party tonight?

I don't feel good

about any of this.

No.

No way.

Look, it, it's

probably nothing, okay?

Just some freaky coincidence.

Besides, you heard

what the cop said.

They're gonna be outside all

night, which is just great.

But we'll be safe.

Trust me.

Emma, please listen.

No, Jordyn, you listen.

Man, it's bad enough

that I have to wake up

to you screaming in

your sleep most nights.

But now you wanna tell me when

I'm allowed to throw a party?

I, that's not what I said.

No, you can miss me with

all of that meat hook sh*t.

f*cking forget about it.

Where's Mackenzie?

She doesn't finish her

midterms until later.

So why don't you

try to stop acting

like such a f*cking pill

for once and have some fun?

Oh, and thanks for the jacket.

I know it's here somewhere.

It's

starting to warm up out there.

Welcome, everybody,

you're listening to KAB...

What

you in a hurry for?

You have a date?

I told you,

Grands, I'm going to a party.

This light

is not gonna turn itself off

as long as you leave it on.

I'm being

charged

-Hey, it's Grayson.

-Grayson, it's Jordyn, I...

Host of

"Crime Fanatics."

Leave a message at the beep.

sh*t.

Another beautiful day

here in the Valley.

Forecast this weekend

is clear and sunny,

so great news for all you...

-Grands, you seen my jacket?

No, I

have not seen your jacket.

It's probably somewhere-

In other news,

a grizzly discovery

yesterday in the canyons

as two vacationers were found

dead of a possible homicide.

Police won't

release any details.

But the location where

the bodies were found

is drawing curiosity.

Just a short distance away

was the site of a

similar homicide

a couple years ago.

-Grayson.

Grands, I'm coming, hold on.

Were

found severely mutilated.

A tragedy that the

press ghoulishly dubbed

"The Meathook Murders."

The sole survivor of that

heinous crime escaped,

but with serious injuries.

-sh*t.

As for the culprit,

still no arrests have been made.

You have

lights on,.

Meanwhile,

the Mid Valley Meat Company-

- I don't own PG&E, no parts

Hey, you need a lift?

It's a short walk to campus,

I'll be fine, thanks.

You know, you really

shouldn't be out alone.

I, I don't think

that's a good idea.

It's really not that far.

Plus I have my trusty

pepper spray, so.

All right, kiddo, but just,

just be careful, okay?

You, you can never know

when there's like a

k*ller in the bushes.

All right, you be careful,

those cigars will k*ll you.

I don't inhale, I'm, I'm

a puffer, I just puff.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

What was that?

Ooh.

I didn't hear anything.

Oh no, I have

to start getting ready.

Quit it.

People are gonna be coming soon.

I mean, what about me?

You know, cumming right now.

How about putting a ring on it

so you can start

f*cking this p*ssy

instead of just eating it?

Oh, my God.

Marriage is so

antiquated, you know?

Wouldn't it be easier

if you're just cashing

that v-card with your boy,

like right now?

-Mm-hmm.

-I mean... Yes, I mean, c'mon.

-Hm, right.

-Still no?

Still a no?

Maybe go finish

decorating the bar

and I'll think about it.

Fine.

I'm going to go upstairs

and take a quick soak

because my arms are k*lling me

from hanging all of those

decorations earlier.

Can you remember to let

Jordyn know I'm upstairs?

Yeah, yes.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Are you sure?

-I think so.

-Can you remember

all of that, blue ba*ls?

You know that I'm like more

than just a super hot bod.

-Oh, really?

-Like, I have feelings.

Yeah, that hurts,

that hurt my feelings.

Aw, I'm sorry.

That sucks.

Go finish.

Yeah, I'm gonna finish, all

right, you a little b*tch.

Don't you worry about that.

Now where was I?

Yeah.

The lights look great.

The f*ck is she talking about?

Yeah, she's such, like, an

annoying religious b*tch,

which is harsh, but

it's so f*cking true.

Loneliness is my disease

I live in the shadows

Hearing voices in disbelief

My broken soul exposed

Oh, sh*t. Still

my heart is raging

Alive and kicking

Damn, look at those

f*cking triceps.

Ticking

Like a time b*mb

ready to blow

Lost in the afterglow

And I stand alone

-Oh, f*ck, yeah.

f*ck, yeah. Darkness falls

Yeah, I bet you

can bench so much.

With my heart of stone

I bet you wouldn't

leave me with blue ba*ls.

Darkness falls

Oh, sh*t. The enemy's within

This dudes pecks

are f*cking huge.

Ooh.

I feel the fire of

a thousand flames

When darkness falls

Oh,.

Faceless enemies

without names

When darkness falls

Hey. Hey.

Chad?

You better hope that I

don't come downstairs

to find you watching

some weird porn again.

Faceless enemies

without names

When darkness falls

Darkness falls

I know there's some

snacks in here somewhere.

There you are.

Come to Papa.

Ah, seriously.

Ah.

Crap-o-la.

God.

Alright.

Potassium.

Doc says more potassium.

Now, you know,

what this needs is

peanut butter and maybe

some chocolate.

I hate stakeouts.

Chad!

Are you finished

decorating the bar already?

Are you deaf?

I asked...

Ah, sh*t.

It's probably Bree Bree

asking for the addy.

Do you mind just

putting it on speaker?

f*ck, Chad,

did all the wrestling fry

your brain or something?

I said pick up the phone.

Oh, f*ck, Chad, what the...

Please, don't hurt me.

Please don't.

No, stop it.

Please, please.

Please don't hurt me.

Please, please.

Ah, sh*t.

Cut, cut.

Cut, cut, cut.

What the f*ck?

Are you intentionally

trying to ruin my movie

or are you just stupid?

Jeremy, I'm really sorry.

I can't work like this.

David, you're great.

Just bear with me.

We'll reset.

What, I thought I was channeling

some real Janet Leigh

vibes on that one.

You were nailing it, Angelina.

Keep that same energy.

We'll go again.

And this time keep the

g*dd*mn mic out of the shot.

Okay, everybody reset.

Let's go again, back to one.

I don't know why

I took this job.

I won a student Academy Award.

Do you know what that means?

A lot.

Not here.

All right, people, ready?

Back to one.

Let's go.

Action.

Hey, open up.

What are you kids

doing in there?

Please, please.

It's Detective Sawyer.

Open up.

-No.

Oh, you call this music?

Police.

Is anybody home?

It's Detective Sa...

LAPD, identify yourself.

Jordyn?

Jordyn?

Oh, my God.

So glad.

How have you not

been to?

It's a $300 jacket.

Yeah, some weirdo

bumped into me.

You going to the party later?

Get it together, Jordyn.

Jordyn?

And I could have been an

instructor at the academy,

but, no, I had to answer

Reyes's dumb phone call.

What the hell?

All right, you in

the tub, come on,

get out nice and slow.

It's a damn blood bath.

I knew I should've...

Well, somebody got an

A in arts and crafts.

It's all over

As a dead four leaf clover

Hello? Slipped from my hand

Crackling

To the ground

Somebody's waiting

Somebody's waiting

To tell me that lost love

Can never be found

What the hell?

Mack?

Are you down there?

Emma, are you home?

Chad, are you home?

You guys, if this is a

joke, it's not funny.

When I was just a young boy

My papa said to me

Emma?

Chad?

Come on, you guys, this

isn't...

Oh.

Wookie, you scared me.

What the hell?

Is this blood?

The door's stuck.

Oh, my God, Mackenzie.

Oh, thank God.

Can you please

help me with these?

No, no, no, we have to go.

We have to go now.

Whoa, what's wrong?

Chad, he's he's dead.

I'm sorry, what?

What are you talking about?

Oh, let me just put this down.

No, no, trust me, we have to go.

He, he, he's back.

I don't know how he found me.

-Who's back?

-But he's back.

What are you, Jordyn?

Jordyn, chill.

Breathe.

We gotta go outside

or something.

- It's probably-

- No, no, no, no.

It, it's probably just Chad

playing a stupid

prank on you, okay?

Breathe.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Watch out!

Jordyn.

Just hang on.

Jordyn.

Jordyn.

Jordyn.

You've reached Jordyn

Leave me a message

or send me a text,

like a normal person.

Bye - Jordyn, it's Grayson.

Oh, look, I'm so sorry

that I missed your call.

I'm actually headed to

your place right now.

Please call me when

you get this, okay?

You won't believe what

I heard on the news.

Always get the damaged ones.

Todd, oh, no, no.

But it's supposed

to protect you.

No!

Oh, sh*t.

, get outta here.

Mackenzie.

Mackenzie.

-Grayson?

Just stay with me, okay?

, okay?

Okay, I'm.

Bro, the party

hasn't even started

and this chick's already wasted.

Oh, my God, this sh*t's gonna

be off the f*cking hook.

She's not wasted.

Somebody

f*cked her up.

World Star, yo.

This chick got f*cked up.

Hey, what's your problem, man.

What the hell is your problem?

Does she look like she's wasted?

Call the police, right now.

I'm

calling them right now.

-Okay.

-Hello?

Okay, help's on the way, okay?

Tell me, where's Jordyn?

Is she alive?

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

Stay with me, okay?

Where's Jordyn?

-Jordyn.

-Yeah.

Where is she?

She's in... She's,

she's in the house.

She needs help.

Help her.

Help her.

-Okay, I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna help her, okay?

No!

No!

Where is she?

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Is he here?

Okay.

Is he here?

You're good, you're good.

Okay, okay.

Okay, where is he?

-We can't leave.

-But why?

-Mackenzie, she's still here.

-No, no.

-Grayson, we can't leave.

-No, no, no.

-I know she still here.

-We can't leave.

No, no, no, I just

talked to her, okay?

She's outside.

She's fine.

No!

Don't you f*cking come

any closer

-Is this the...

-That's the arrowhead

that we found on our

hike here last time.

Leave her alone.

No.

Are you okay?

Here, let me help you.

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

The police'll be here shortly.

You throw one hell of a party.

Grayson!

Jordyn,

no, run, Jordyn.

Run!

Grayson!

Hey, bonehead!

Say hello to the King for me.

Come on.

Who's that guy again?

He's a friend.

Huh.

Oh, my God, your head.

What? Oh, thi-this.

Nah, it's just, just a scratch.

Now, I remember back

when I was a rookie,

they used to make us fill

out all that paperwork

and man, I got, I got a paper

cut on my trigger finger.

Now that hurt.

This is nothing.

Well, can I help you out?

Nah, why don't you

kids just go on ahead.

I, I think I'm

just gonna sit here

and wait for the

cavalry to arrive.

And I'm just a little

bit lightheaded to.

I wonder why.

Okay.

But say, you know, do, do

you mind if, if I had a pint?

You know, it's, my blood

sugar is just a little...

This diet and everything,

you know, I...

It's all yours.

Hey, there's worse

things that can k*ll you.

Yeah.

Yeah, there are.

Come to Papa.

Alright,

alright, stand back.

Welcome to another episode

of "Crime Fanatics."

As always, I'm your

host, Grayson Ellis.

It is my pleasure

to finally introduce

to the show, Jordyn Burns.

Thanks for being on the show.

Thanks for having me.

Um...

I, uh...

Sorry, I, I don't...

You're doing great, okay?

Don't worry.

Yeah, you got this girl.

Thanks.

Alright, um, let's

try this again.

Thank you for having me.

Better late than never, huh?

You're right.

But before we get into what

happened to us recently,

would you mind explaining

things from the beginning?

Your friends in the woods?

I avoided talking

about this for so long,

I don't even know

where to begin.

But here goes nothing

I...

What a sorry sack of sh*t.

Like a bloody pile of roadkill.

Where the f*ck do you

think you're going?

Goddammit.

Come on, let's get up.

Come on, come on.

You know, not too many

people stop for roadkill.

Come on.

Alright.

There you go, buddy.

Come on, get in.

Hey, don't bleed on

my g*dd*mn magazines.

Jesus Christ.

Hold up, soldier.

You need your helmet.

There you go.

People say that dog don't hunt,

but I say he's

good for something.

Huh, Mr. Carver,

The shadows on your face

Reveal be the

echoes of your past

Time to face what's true

The ghost in your dreams

Haunts your every thought

Breaks your heart in two

Now get up

Try to make your stand

Holding on to nothing

With both hands

Searching for clues

In this

Is there any other choice

The battle at hand

Force you stand,

you're not alone

In this fight

Listen to your voice

So get up

Try to make your stand

Holding onto nothing

With both hands

So get up

Try to make your stand

Holding onto nothing

With both hands

For all that came before

For the devil at your door

The whole world against you

Fight for your life

For all that is right

Your power and your truth

So get up

Try to make your stand

Holding on to nothing

With both hands

So get up

Try to make your stand

Holding onto nothing

With both hands

With both hands

With both hands

Oh oh oh

With both hands

With both hands
