- Hey, baby.

Baby.

(Gloria sighs)

- All right, my love,
I hate to do this,

but I really need to
finish this proposal.

- Come on.



I miss you and I didn't get
dressed up for no reason.

- God, babe, this is so
fucking tempting right now,

but I'm gonna have
to take a rain check.

- I just wish you came
out to the island.

I really miss you.

- I miss you, too.

At least you have the beach.

- A beach with no one on it.

Oh, I totally
forgot to tell you.

Troy is out here, and we're
gonna get a drink this weekend.

- Jealous.

Well, I have to
get back to work.

I love you, you beautiful
fucking psycho. (laughs)

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.



I love you too.

Goodnight, baby.
- Goodnight.

Down this lonely road

Would you walk away from me

From our history

Down this lonely road

You take my heart away

(ominous music)

Here I stand alone

As you fade away

Here I stand alone

And I wait

There's just

(tense dramatic music)

(tense dramatic music)

(cell phone ringing)

- [Troy] Yep?

- [Maria] You're really
gonna make me call you?

Answer your damn text.

(scoffs) All right, well,
get your shit packed

'cause we're gonna be
there in two hours, okay?

- Mm.

I don't, I can't.

- [Maria] No.

No, no, no and no. You are
not bitching out again.

Get your ass out of bed,

eat something like
a normal person

and be ready in
two hours, got it?

- Okay.

- Oh, and make sure to
pack something sexy.

I have a friend
who might be there

and I think you guys would be-

- Maria.

I'm not meeting another
one of your friends

in the middle of a
fucking pandemic.

- [Maria] No, this
isn't an option.

I won't let you in the car

until I see something
sexy in your suitcase.

- Bye.

Hey.

Is that for me?
- This is for you,

for joining our pod.

This is from Zoe.

- Can I?

Let's...

- Is it like... (chuckles)

Hi.
- Hi.

It's really good to see you.

- It's good to
see you, too, Sam.

- Okay, so, welcome
to your new pod.

It's, um, we've all been
like incredibly safe,

we haven't left the house
for literally months-

- No, I trust you. It's...

- Okay.

Are you doing okay?

- Good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- I just want you to know
that I'm here for you.

- [Troy] Okay, thanks.

- Yeah.

Can we?

- Yeah, come here.
- Okay.

(birds chirping)

- Oh wow, it feels pretty
good to hug somebody.

- [Sam] Right?

(Troy sighs)

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- What?

- Let me see it.
- Oh, the sex outfit,

it's, it's the
trunk, in the back.

- Go get it, we're not
leaving until I see it.

- I saw it, it's
incredibly sexy.

He has it here.

- It's very sexy.
- Two nipples like headlights.

- Okay, well you better
not be lying to me.

- Hey Troy.
- Hi, Zoe.

- Hi, hi.

Have you met my boyfriend?
- I don't think so.

Hello.
- This is Matt.

He's amazing, he's a programmer.

- [Troy] Awesome.

- Troy's the one
who did my website.

- Oh.

Very cool, what'd
you use? Like C++ or?

- Square, Squarespace.

- Oh.
- Whatever.

It's all black
magic sorcery to me.

- Okay, let's go.

- [Zoe] Oh my god, shut up.

You're the one who wanted
a whole runway show.

(Maria cheers)

- Fire Island bitches! (cheers)

music continues)

(birds chirping)

- Hey.

- Hm?

- Wake up.

You can't sleep all day.
- Why?

It's not like we
need to be anywhere.

- Sir, you do not get the
luxury of sleep today.

You left the door open again,
the house was freezing.

- What?

- When you came
back from smoking.

You didn't close it, again.
- Yes, I did.

- Okay, then, why was it open?

- Wind? I don't know.

- Well let me see.

Who was the last
one out last night

and who gets high all the
time and forgets shit?

Oh, I can't remember.

I think his name is
Bess or Chess or...

Oh, okay.

I can forgive you, if
one condition is met.

- Pancakes?

- Pancakes.

(Wes groans)

- Hell yeah.

(Sam laughs)

We got the whole
place to ourselves.

- Oh, I was secretly
hoping it'd be packed.

I miss being in a crowd.
- Oh, I know.

Squeezing through sweaty bodies.

Making out with strangers.

- Catching the virus,
dying slowly and horribly.

- Okay, can we just forget

about reality for
just a few days?

Like ban all talk
of Trump and COVID?

- [Sam] Yeah, done and done.

- [Trump] The new headline is,

"Trump asks people to go
outside, that's dangerous."

Here we go. Same old group.

Are you ready?

I hope people enjoy the sun.

- God, can we please
turn this off?

I can't listen to this
depressing news every morning,

on my birthday.
(Wes chuckles)

- So, birthday boy.

Anything you wanna do today?

I want you to know,

I really appreciate you
coming back to the island.

I know it wasn't easy for you.

- Coming back is the first
step to getting past things.

Plus, it was like
three years ago.

Can you believe it?

- And that fucker is at
the bottom of the ocean.

- So they say.

- Joseph, baby, come on.

You don't actually believe...

They found his body.

- A body.

But could, could
we just stop this?

(Joseph sighs)

I'm really, I'm fine.

I uh, I'm just really happy to
be here during this nightmare

we're all living
through, honest.

A walk would be nice, and,
uh, maybe, uh, make dinner?

Find something on Netflix?

- So what we've doing
everyday since March?

- Well yeah, but like a nice
meal with wine and dessert.

Like a good movie,
something gay and fun.

- You talkin' "Schindler's
List," or "Apocalypse Now?"

- I'm thinkin' "Mean Girls."
(Joseph and Wes laugh)

- Hey.

What's up with that guy?

- Ugh, his boyfriend
killed himself

just as lockdown started.

He came home and saw him
hanging in the living room.

It's so fucked up.

- Jesus.

- I feel so bad for him.
He's such a nice guy.

His boyfriend, on
the other hand?

- What?

- I mean, I shouldn't
speak ill of the dead, but,

I don't know, he had
these crazy mood swings.

Just never knew what
you were gonna get.

Doesn't surprise me what he did.

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

(gentle music)

- You found it?

I thought they were sold out?

- I have my ways.

(gentle music continues)

(upbeat electronic music)

(upbeat electronic
music continues)

- Oh my god, Ron,
look at that one.

- Oh, so dramatic.
- Okay, we get it.

You're macabre.

- Oh, these masks
are getting crazy

the longer the thing drags on.

Before you know it, you'll
have a couple of guys

in hazmat suits
and assless chaps.

- Eh, I saw that on
the ferry last week.

(men laughing)

(upbeat electronic music)

(ominous music)

(footsteps thudding)

- Jesus!

- It's not safe anymore, son.

Not safe, you gotta
get outta here.

- I need you to not
touch me, okay, okay?

Just back off.

- Shake my hand.
- Hey.

- Shake my hand and go.

Leave.
- I'm going.

- Hey.
- Leave, leave.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Jesus, fuck.

- [Sam] Who was
that? Are you okay?

- [Troy] I don't fucking
know, I'm not okay.

Jesus.

- [Sam] Did that guy
touch you at all?

- He touched all of me.

This is, this is beautiful.
How did you get this place?

- My guncle owns it.

He's a doctor.

He's been working
at the hospital 24/7

and he told me I could come
out whenever I wanted to.

- Guncle. What are you, like 14?

- [Zoe] Uh, I'm more like 24?

- [Maria] Wait, why the
hell is the door open?

- Girl, it's Fire Island.

Everything is open.

- [Maria] What the
hell is this place?

- This is the living room.

Fireplace, couches,
and that shag carpet

is perfect for fucking on.

Not that I've ever done that,
just, I would imagine so.

There's the pool and plenty
of places to chill outside,

although it's May
so it's probably

gonna get cold once
the sun goes down.

Oh, and your bedrooms are
front of the house is a queen

and up there are the
rest of the beds.

Come on.

(footsteps thudding)

(soft tense music)

Wait until you guys
see the upstairs.

You guys can fight
over who gets this one.

- Ooh.

Dibs.

- [Sam] Oh, god.

(Zoe laughs)

(soft tense music continues)

- This is my room.

(Zoe sighs)

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

(Matt sighs)

Oh, and uh, there's
another room downstairs.

It's kinda isolated, but
it is the biggest, so.

- Would you guys rather?

- No, we're good.
- All right.

- You want it?

All right, let's go.

- Oh, great. It's very nice.

- Get cozy.

(soft tense music continues)

(Troy exhales)

(soft tense music continues)

(upbeat electronic pop music)

- Ooh.

Come on, Matt, your girl
is shaking her ass for you.

Ooh.

Get up, what the
hell are you doing?

(upbeat electronic
pop music continues)

There you go.

Ow-ow!

(upbeat electronic
pop music continues)

Okay, now we don't
need all that.

(soft tense music)

(animal vocalizes
in the distance)

(ominous music)

- [Sam] Are you okay?

- Uh...

Yeah.

Uh, I just thought I saw like a-

- A deer?

- Yeah, I-
- Yeah.

The island's like
crawling with them.

They're really cute, though.

You can like go up and
pet 'em. It's hilarious.

- Sure.

Right.

(birds chirping)

- Okay.

So talk to me.

(Troy sighs)

- So yesterday I tried
to see if I could

spend an entire day in
bed without getting up,

and other than
having to pee, I did.

- Wow, wow, wow. You didn't eat?

- I had some Doritos
and then there was

a half drunk mug of coffee
on my nightstand, so.

- You know, um...

Talking to friends might help.

If you don't want to-
- No, it's...

(birds chirping)

If I tell you something, then
can it just stay between us

and then, like, I just would
like to go back to the weekend

and act like things
are fucking normal.

- Yeah, absolutely. I love that.

- So the day before
I found Jaden,

I'd broken up with him.

You know, we were
fighting everyday.

I didn't know what else to do.

And I'd become this, like,
this caretaker for him

and I know that
sounds super fucked up

because he was a
really good person and,

and, and it's not
his fault, I just...

(melancholy music)

- I'm so sorry. I wish
that I knew what to say.

(cell phone pings)

(Troy sighs)

Who's that?

- Oh, that's, it's Becca.

She wants me to come by.

She's actually
down on the island.

She wants me to come by for
like a drink or, I don't know,

but if she ever stops working.

Fucking lesbians.

(Sam laughs)

- Yes.

Okay.

Well, speaking of drinks.
- Yeah.

Oh, also, um, Maria
doesn't actually

have a friend that
she's gonna try

and hook me up with, does-
- No, she does.

- She does?
- She does.

- Goddammit.
- She does.

- Every time.
- I know.

- It's such a disaster.
- I know it's a disaster.

I tried to tell her not to,
but she wouldn't listen.

- Man, I shouldn't have come.

- Please don't say that.

It was really important
for me that you were here

because I really missed you.

(Sam inhales)

(Same exhales)

And who knows, maybe
getting a one night stand

isn't the worst
thing in the world.

- Okay, sure, I'll get
laid and then I can

immediately drop
dead with COVID.

- You're not gonna die of
COVID. We're too young to die.

- Okay.

- But your grandma.
(Troy laughs)

(Sam laughs)

She sucks, right?
- You're terrible.

You are canceled.
(Sam laughs)

Fuck.

I did, I really, I
did miss you, too.

- Aye yi yi yi.

Okay.

I hereby pour this libation

to summon forth the very,
very, very fun spirit

of my old best friend Troy.

- You already
poured the libation.

- I'm pouring more libation-
- Okay, enough, enough.

Please, please, enough.
You're gonna spill it.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

And also...

- Oh, Lord.

- What are those?

- This is gonna be good for you.

I promise.

- That's it?
- Yep.

- That's all I get?
- That's all you get.

- Okay. (chuckles)

Oh, yep.
(glasses clink)

- Clink.

(soft romantic music)

(Wes and Joseph
breathing heaviLy)

- One sec.

- No.
- No, hold on.

I gotta pee.
- Oh.

(Wes chuckles)

(Joseph sighs)

- Fine.

Fine, I'll go have
a look at that moon

you keep going on about.
- Do it, it's gorgeous.

(soft romantic music continues)

- Oh, it looks like crap.

(ominous music)

(rustling in the distance)

Wes?

(insects buzzing)

Wes?

(insects buzzing)

You all right?

You're blowing up
that bathroom again?

What's wrong with your stomach?

(insects buzzing)

Wes?

(knife slices)

(dramatic music)
(blood trickling)

(water splashes)

(electronic music)

- Oh, guys, it's become
grotesque. Come on.

- At least we're not like-
- Hey!

- These nasties.

Y'all are nasty, and you're
making Troy feel sad.

- No, no, not sad.
Just disgusted.

- Sorry, Troy.

Come on, let's go.

Be right back.

(Troy sighs)

- Okay, so what's the plan?
- Ooh, so I'm waiting

to hear back from my friend
who works at the Ice Palace.

He said if a table opens
up, he'll save it for us.

- Is that safe?

- They are super
limited capacity.

They're being really careful.

- I don't know, dude.

It only takes one
person to kill you.

- Oh my gosh, no, ew, shut up.

We are not gonna die.

- [Sam] Troy, what do you think?

- I don't wanna be
the killjoy, so.

(cell phone pings)

- Ooh, that is probably him.

Yep, he said there will be
a table ready in 30 minutes.

Are we going?

- Are we?

(Zoe moaning)
(soft electronic music)

(Zoe continues moaning)
(soft electronic music)

- Yeah, we are not missing
our table for this.

(banging on wall)
Chop, chop, let's go.

- [Zoe] What the
fuck, Maria? Get out!

(chair thuds)

- You missed.

(gentle music)

Down this lonely road

- Hey, you are Troy, right?

- Yeah, hi.
- I'm Jacob, Maria's friend.

- Oh, right. Nice to meet you.

- Can I buy you a drink?

- I actually just um,
I just ordered one.

It's right here, so.

- 12 bucks.
- Okay.

- Listen, I get it.

No problem.

- Thanks, sorry.

Okay.

As you fade away
into yesterday

Here I stand alone

And I wait
(ominous music)

- Troy.
- Zoe.

- Can you sing for us?
- No.

- I haven't heard
you sing in so long

and I miss it so much.
- I don't, I'm okay.

I'm good, I promise.
- Please, come on.

- No, I just wanna sit here

and sort of stare into
the glass, you know?

- Oh, who is that hot man there?

- No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, it's not about-
- He's looking at you, bitch.

Ow-ow!

- Please, I just,
I just wanna have

a nice, quiet night with-

- Uh, well, all the
more reasons to do it.

- To do what?

- Let that man suck your dick.
(Troy laughs)

(Zoe laughs)

- No, uh, I'm okay.
I'm all right.

- He's gonna sing.
- No, please, please, please.

Please, please, Zoe.
- He's really good.

No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Seriously, if any of you want
your temperature taken anally,

it's not gonna happen,
it's too messy.

I can't stand it.

(audience exclaiming)

Um, next up, darling.

(people chattering)
(insects buzzing)

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

(thudding in the distance)
(Troy gasps)

(ominous music continues)

(tense dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(indistinct police
radio chatter)

- [Jack] What do you got?

- Wes Torres and Joseph Gibbons.

They were both raped.

We're not sure if it
was before, or after.

And one thing.

You're gonna wanna see this.

(tense dramatic music)

And we got no prints, Jack.

- You're saying the
killer was staying here?

- We think.

- What about security cameras?

- They'd all been cut.

- So you're telling me
you ain't got any leads?

- I'm thinkin' maybe
this has something to do

with the murder at the
Pines a few years ago?

The body that washed up on
shore, it was never identified.

Who's to say the killer
isn't still here?

- All right, you know
what we gotta do?

We gotta keep this
under wraps for now.

- This is a small island, Jack.

- Exactly.

And this guy could be close

and we got a chance
at nailing him

if it doesn't go all
over the news, all right?

We can't have this island
gettin' all hysterical.

- People are already talkin'.

- All right, you know
what you tell 'em?

If anybody asks, you say
it was a GHB overdose.

- GHB?
- Happens every summer.

They won't think twice
about it, all right?

Go do your job.

(tense dramatic music)

Santino.

If you hear anything,
I wanna be the first

to know about it, all right?

(tense dramatic music)
(police radio chatter)

(tense dramatic music continues)

- Let's go straight, somewhere.

- There's trees.

- We get to see trees, guys.

Be excited.
- I love trees.

- I love trees, too.

(Sam humming)

- [Maria] Oh god, I feel sick.

I don't remember the last
time I was this hungover.

- [Zoe] I know, but
we're getting old.

(soft tense music)

- Troy.
- What?

- Come on.
- I'm comin'.

I'll get there.

- [Sam] Okay.

(Troy humming)
(soft tense music)

(dramatic music)

(Troy humming)
(soft tense music)

(dramatic music)

- Oh my god.

Fuck.
- Look at my old friend.

- Look, man, I don't
wanna get killed, okay?

- Lonely here, isn't it?

- Yep.

- Look at those fuckin' deer.

Always watchin'.

Waitin'.

- [Troy] They're uh,
yeah, they're great.

- It's too quiet here.

Even the raven himself is hoarse

that croaks the fatal entrance

of Duncan under my battlements.

- My friends are
right over there.

- Come ye spirits that
dwell on mortal thoughts

and sex me here and fill
me from crown to toe,

top full of direst cruelty.

You shouldn't be here, son.

(birds chirping)

(Murph whistling)

- Fuck you, man.

Jesus.

Hey!

(soft electronic pop music)

And he did that, like, the
Batman thing, you know?

Where he's there and then-
- I love the Batman thing.

- Like, have you actually
seen someone do it, though?

It's really disturbing.

- Really?
- Yeah.

People aren't supposed
to move that fast.

- Hey, friends.

Is tonight the night?

- [Zoe] You had molly
this whole time?

- Hell yes I did.
- Well bring it out.

What are we doing?

- [Troy] Is it,
um, what's it like?

- Excuse me? What's it like?

Troy, it's fucking
incredible, especially sex.

- [Troy] Oh, well...

- Or masturbation.
- Great.

Cool, while y'all are
havin' mind blowing sex,

I'll just be masturbating.
(all laughing)

- There's nothing wrong
with a little self care.

- Oh, and the showers
are awesome, too.

Ugh, I took one alone once

and I was in the shower
for like two hours.

- Did you masturbate?

- Uh, obviously. I have a hand.

- All right.

Okay.

- Yes.

Shove it in, shove it in.

- Down the hatch.

- You just, fuckin'-
- Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.
- Okay.

(Maria and Zoe laughing)

- Yes!

- There we go.

(tense dramatic music)

- [Officer] Dispatch,
show car two on scene.

(tense dramatic music continues)

- What do you got?

- [Detective Santino] Major
contusions to the head,

chest and torso.

Most likely an ax.

Looks like she was raped, too.

- Any other prints?

- [Detective Santino] Only hers.

- She lived alone?

- [Detective Santino] Yeah.

- Looks like somebody
was lying here.

Spent the night.

Could be our guy.

Hey.
(fingers snap)

Give me this.

Take this, lock it down.

Nobody in, nobody
out, all right?

- You got it, boss.

- Jack.
- What?

(tense dramatic music continues)

- We can't keep thus
under wraps much longer.

- Like you said, it's a
small island, all right?

Let's stick to our plan.

- The families, they're
gonna be notified.

- Well when that happens,
I'll deal with it.

We're gonna catch
this guy, all right?

He's sloppy, he's
making mistakes. What?

- [Officer] Boss, we need
you back at the headquarters.

We'll run over it.

- Santino, just do your job.

Do your job.

(tense dramatic music continues)

(ominous music)

(Zoe laughs)

(all laughing)

- Just stop it.

Stop.

(Troy sighs)

Thanks for inviting me.

- I kind of forced you to come.

- Yeah, you did.

You did, but, I'm
lucky to have a friend

who forces me to, like,
take care of myself.

- Yeah, we do that
for each other.

- I felt really guilty,

and I've just kind of been
by myself a lot, you know?

(Troy sighs)

But I swear, I feel like
I can breathe and, uh,

(chuckles) this
weekend was the last

fuckin' thing I
wanted to do, but,

I'm really happy I came.

I just sorta love you.

(Sam laughs)

Oh, mm.
- Thank you so much.

(gentle music)
(waves sloshing)

My friend.
- My friend.

- My friend.
- Where are you taking me?

- My friend, let's go!
- Oh no, we're running.

(Sam screams)
We're running!

(Sam screaming)

(gentle music)

(Troy exhales)

Oh, hey, Zoe? Hey, Zoe?

- Mm?
- Zoe?

Could you, could you
hit this, please?

(Zoe scoffs)
Thank you very much.

- No, it's gonna be
so fuckin' romantic.

The sunrise, the waves.

Don't you think so, Troy?

Wouldn't you like to
have sex on the beach?

- [Troy] No.

- Yeah, I mean...

- I'm fucking you on the
beach. It's happening.

- We can discuss it.

- Uh, I'm making coffee, geez.

- [Troy] Okay.

That's it, I'm going to bed.

- Yeah, we're gonna
go upstairs, I think.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

Everybody's fuckin'! Woo!

(Maria laughs)

(Troy grunts)

(light clicks)

(soft ominous music)

(Sam grunts)

- Come here.

(Sam laughs)

(ominous music)

- Okay, wait, wait.
- Come on, babe.

- No, no, no, no. Babe, babe.

Hey, babe, I love you but-
- We stayed up all night.

We're gonna do this. Come on.

(Matt sighs)

(electronic music)

(shower water pattering)
(electronic music continues)

(gentle music)

Yo, who's on my speaker?

Come on, guys, who...

From our history

Down this lonely road

- Guys!
You take my heart away

(rock ballad music)

Here I stand alone

- Where the fuck is my shirt?

(ominous music)

Hey, guys?

Sam?
(Sam grumbles)

Um, did you try
connecting to my speaker?

- [Sam] What?

No.
- I, yeah, nevermind.

Sorry.

(ominous music continues)

Hey, Zoe?

Zoe?

(ominous music continues)

- Are they out there?

- No.

- They said that they were gonna

go to the beach a
couple hours ago.

- I know.

- Okay, fine, hold
on. Let me just...

- Thank you. Thanks.

Sorry.

(ominous music continues)

(insects buzzing)

(ominous music continues)

Is there, um, is there another
spot on the island that,

that they'd go to?

- Nothing was open.

- Well, I mean, just like, um...

- You know what?
Maybe she texted me.

I don't know where the
fuck I put my phone.

You know what?

I mean, they probably
went to the beach to walk.

I mean they've only been
gone for what? Like...

- Like six hours.

- Oh, hold on.

Zoe.

"I had to take Matt
to the hospital."

- Oh my god.
- What?

- Is she kidding?

- If she's texting, I'm
just gonna call her.

- [Operator] The
person you are calling

is using a screening service.

- She screened my call.

- That fuckin' weird.

- 'Cause why would she text you

and then not pick up my call?

- But they got to the hospital

and then decide to text me now?

- What if we have to
fucking quarantine?

- No, that wouldn't happen
because if it was COVID,

she would have said
something, right?

- Yeah.
- I mean it's Zoe.

- [Troy] What do you
want me to ask her?

- Ask her if Matt's okay.

- Ask her if we have
to fuckin' quarantine.

- Hold on, um...

And, okay, send.

She's typing.

Um...

"It's definitely not COVID,
but I'll be back tonight.

My phone's gonna die, XO."

- Typical Zoe.

- She fuckin' flaked.
- She fucking flaked.

- This is Burning Man.
- This is Burning Man.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

(Troy sighs)

- I mean, it's her house.

- It's her car.

(ominous music)

(animals vocalizing)

(ominous music continues)

You haven't heard anything?

- No.

I mean, she did say her phone
was gonna die, but like,

my texts aren't
even going through.

- Where the fuck is it? Ugh.

You try calling it again, Sam.

- Babe, I have called your
phone like 10 times, okay?

It probably fell
out on the boardwalk

or I don't fucking know.

- No I had it here last night.

We were playing music off
of it, do you not remember?

- Yeah, I remember,
so that must mean

it's on silent or
it's dead, babe.

It's, it's gonna show up 'cause
it literally always does.

- It's not, though,
so unless you're gonna

help me find it, it
doesn't fucking matter.

I have a raging fucking headache

and this isn't
helping, obviously, so
good fucking night.

- [Sam] Hey.

Where are you going?

- I am going to sleep.

- It's 9:00 PM, come one, we
haven't even had dinner yet.

- All I want is to find my
phone and to go to sleep

and seeing as how finding my
phone isn't a fuckin' option,

especially because you two

aren't doing absolute
shit, (chuckles)

I'm going to do the latter.

I'm going to take a Xanax

and neither of you are
invited to join me.

- [Sam] Okay.

- [Maria] Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot, Troy, yeah.

Big help, thanks.

(Troy scoffs)

- Okay, goodnight sweetie.

- [Maria] Yeah, whatever.

- You okay?

- Yeah, are you hungry?
- Yes.

- Yeah, let's go eat a sandwich.

- Okay, a sandwich.

It's weird seeing
so many dark houses.

- Yeah.
- We're the only ones here.

- I know.

Yeah, it makes
sense no one's here

'cause the bars are all
closed and everything.

- Yeah, I guess.

- What are they gonna do-
- What are they gonna do?

Hang out with us?
(Sam laughs)

Hey, is Maria okay?

'Cause I feel like I
made that situation-

- No, that was-
- Much worse.

- Absolutely not you.

She's...

She's fine. It's just...

It's been...

I, eh...

- Eh?

- It's been tense.
It's been tense.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- I'm completely
fine, thank you.

- I've just, I've never seen her

get that aggressive like that.
- Yeah.

- I don't know.

It just was, um
(sniffles) it was weird.

Sorry, I don't mean like,
I'm not judging or anything,

I just, it just was-
- No.

- It was just different.
- No, yeah.

And again, I'm sorry that
you had to be part of that.

- [Troy] It was kind of awesome.

Wh-

(Maria screams)

(Maria grunting)

(flesh squelching)
(Maria yells)

(Maria coughs)

- No, I'm telling you, it's
not anything that was red.

- Okay.
- No strawberries

or raspberries.
- Oh raspberries, sad.

- Yeah, I missed
raspberries badly.

He wouldn't even eat
beef unless it had

been cooked before he saw it.

- Holy shit.

- Holy shit.
- Holy shit.

- Yeah.

Dinner was always an ordeal.

Dessert was an ordeal.
We couldn't eat M&M's.

- You love M&M's.
(Troy chuckles)

It's really nice to
hear you talk about him.

- I miss him.

- Yeah.

(cell phone ringing)

- Is it?
- It's my beloved.

Hi, Maria. Where did you
find your phone, Maria?

Maria?
(Troy chuckles)

- It's the service.

She has one of the
shit companies, right?

- She does.
(Troy laughs)

(phone line trilling)

Hi.

Sweetie pie.

- Honey, honey boo boo?

- Honey baby.

No? Nothing?

No, she hung up.

- Oh, good. That's progress.

- Maria? You left the
fuckin' door open again.

Hello?
- She's probably asleep.

- You're right. She probably
took another fuckin' Xanax.

(Troy sighs)

- Thank you.
- Yes.

(Troy grunts)

- I'm not saying
thank you again.

(Sam laughs)

What?

- I should go check on Maria.

- Yeah, go.

(footsteps thudding)

- Maria?

(ominous music)

Maria?

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, um, Zoe's outside.

(door opens)

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, Maria?

(thudding in the distance)

(ominous music continues)

- Sam!

Sam, um, Zoe told
me she was outside,

but there's nobody there.

- Maria's not upstairs.

- What?

Where's my...

Where's my phone?

- [Sam] What do you
mean where's your phone?

- It was here and...

- [Sam] Where, where
the fuck is my phone?

- Um, I don't wanna be here.

I wanna leave.
- Okay, wait a minute.

- [Troy] I wanna
leave here, Sam.

I don't feel safe.
- Where are you gonna go?

- Where the fuck are
our phones, then?

- I don't know.

Let's take a sec-
- I, I don't,

I don't wanna be here.

(water trickling)
(ominous music)

I swear, if there's
nobody in here,

then I'm just gonna start

banging on people's
doors because...

Well we have to talk to
somebody and I don't...

Okay, look, the light's on.

Great. Let's uh...

Okay, so-
- Okay.

"Due to the pandemic,
we are closed."

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see.

We're just gonna go in

and ask to use the phone
and then we'll be out.

- I don't know, dude.
- It's not a big deal.

(ominous music)

Look, they got
the power running.

That fountain's fucking on.

It's something.

Okay.

Um...

Please be open, come on.

Great.

Hello?

Hi, excuse us?

Hello?

(ominous music)

The light was up there.
- Yep.

(ominous music continues)

Wow.
- Yeah.

Hello?

(Troy sighs)

(ominous music continues)

That door is open.

- [Sam] Yeah.

(ominous music continues)

(metallic clanging)
(Sam gasps)

- What the fuck was
that? Was that upstairs?

- I think that was upstairs.

(ominous music continues)

- Hello?

Hey, sorry, hello?

Fuck.

There's nobody up here.

- Oh, shit.

I don't think there's
a caretaker here, dude.

I think, I think
somebody's squatting.

- Yeah.

(Sam exhales)

(ominous music continues)

- Huh.

I can see our house from here.

Troy?

(ominous music continues)

- We have to go.

We have to go.
- Why?

- That's my fucking shirt.

Just go.

- Your shirt?
- Yeah.

- Why are we running?
- Just keep near me closely.

Just keep near me.

(tense dramatic music)

Come on.

Hurry, hurry.

(tense dramatic music continues)

Yesterday, while I
was taking a shower,

I got back to the room

and my fucking shirt
was off the bed, okay?

And then when we got to
that, that fuckin' attic,

it was in that sleeping bag.

My shirt was in
that person's room.

- What?

- So they came into the house

and they took it and
now the phones are gone

and, and Maria and
Zoe are fucking gone

and I don't know where they are.

- Take a deep breath, okay?

- So some, some motherfucker
is fucking with us.

- Okay.

- And I don't, I don't,
like, I don't wanna be here.

I wanna get on the
next fucking ferry.

I wanna fucking
leave this place.

- Okay, that's fine.
- Okay?

- Yep, this is very, very scary.

- Yeah, I know, I-
- Hey, hey, just breathe.

- I don't need to be calmed
down, I need to find a phone.

- We're gonna find a phone.

We're finding a phone.
- Okay.

- We'll go back to
the restaurant and
we'll find a phone.

- Which way is the restaurant?
I don't know where we are.

- It's this way.

I'm pretty sure that
it's this way, just-

(dramatic music)

- Fuck, go, run.

(Troy and Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

Go!

(Troy and Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

Lock the doors, get knives!

Knives!

(Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

- What the fuck?
- Shh.

- Shh.
- I don't see him.

I don't see him.

(Troy panting)

Okay.

(Troy mumbles)

- Backyard. Backyard.

(Troy panting)

(door creaking)

(Sam breathing heavily)

What's going on?

(flags rustling)

I thought the
Belvedere was closed.

(flags rustling)

I'm on it.

(gentle music)

Down this lonely road

You walk away from me

From our history
(upbeat piano music)

You take my heart away

(Troy coughing)

(Troy panting)

- Help, help, help.

Help!

Help me!

Help!

No, no!

- Hey.

It's me. (laughs)

Remember?

Sorry about the straps.

I tried to keep
'em lose for you.

I'm building a family.

No more isolation.

I fucking hate this isolation!

But now I have a family.

And you.

Boop.
(Troy gasps)

Yeah, I did what I had to
do for us to be together.

Okay, so neither of us would
ever have to be alone again.

After I lost everyone that
meant everything to me,

I promised myself that I
would never be alone again.

I mean...

I deserve that, right?

And then this
fucking pandemic hit

and can't even go
on Grindr these days

without a fuckin'
COVID test, am I right?

Sorry.

(Troy whimpers)

Guess I shouldn't
complain, though.

Everyone seemed
to forget I might

still be alive after COVID hit.

(Troy sobbing)

That didn't change
how lonely I became.

And then I, I found you.

And when I saw you, I knew.

I knew that I had found
someone that I could depend on,

who had friends that
I would actually

wanna hang out with. (laughs)

Crazy is that?

- Please let me go.

Please?

(Rafael laughs)

- Go?

(Rafael laughs)

Go where? (laughs)

Back out to the
pandemic? (laughs)

No. You're much
safer here with me.

(kiss smacks)

(Troy whimpers)

(hit thuds)
(bone cracks)

- [Troy] Fuck!

- I'm sorry about that.

I really am.

But it's the only way
that we could be together.

Have you seen what
it's like out there?

Just going outside
is dangerous, okay?

I can keep you safe and
I can make you feel good.

- Fuck you.

- Do you have any idea how long

I have waited for
someone like you?

Do you understand?

(knocking on door)

- [Troy] Help!

Help!
- Shh.

Help me.

He's out there.

- Oh, shit, oh, shit.

- He's gonna kil me.
- It's gonna be okay.

Relax, just relax.

Relax.
- Ow, fuck!

- Relax.
- Ow!

- [Troy] Oh, please, please.

- [Detective
Santino] Just relax.

Hey, hey, he's-

'Cause I can take it off, babe!

(Troy panting)

(tense dramatic music)

(tense dramatic music continues)

(Troy grunts)

(waves sloshing)

- Hey!

Hey!

Help me!

(tense dramatic music continues)

(Troy panting)

Help!

- [Rafael] Come on home, babe.

You don't have to run!

Come on home, baby.
- Fuck.

Fuck.

- You don't have to run.

I love you.

(Troy grunting)

A gruesome massacre was

- Another.
- Just another.

- Mm.

- And know you two fuckers-

(man coughing)
Hey, baby, please relax.

I know you two fuckers
aren't gonna say anything

so I have to take
charge yet again.

How long has it been since
we've all been together,

you amazing fucking people?

- Over a year, bitch.
- Oh.

- Yeah, over a year.
- Oh, me.

Oh no, cheers to that.

Hey, honey.

- To sticking it out.
- Yes.

- And to friends.
Corny, I'm sorry.

- It's fine.
- I'm sorry, I need a water.

- Oh.
- Fucking water.

- I need a water.

- Are you serious?
- A water?

Gin and tonic.
- Excuse me.

There's just
one thing I know

I'm never letting go

As long as I breathe

As long I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

As long I bleed

And there's stars in the sky

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

When I close my eyes

You're there waitin'

To hold me

Every morning I wake up

It's still you I see

Whatever tomorrow holds

There's just
one thing I know

As long as I breathe

As long as I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

As long as I bleed

And there's stars in the sky

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

I hate to do this,

but I really need to
finish this proposal.

- Come on.

I miss you and I didn't get
dressed up for no reason.

- God, babe, this is so
fucking tempting right now,

but I'm gonna have
to take a rain check.

- I just wish you came
out to the island.

I really miss you.

- I miss you, too.

At least you have the beach.

- A beach with no one on it.

Oh, I totally
forgot to tell you.

Troy is out here, and we're
gonna get a drink this weekend.

- Jealous.

Well, I have to
get back to work.

I love you, you beautiful
fucking psycho. (laughs)

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I love you too.

Answer your damn text.

(scoffs) All right, well,
get your shit packed

'cause we're gonna be
there in two hours, okay?

- Mm.

I don't, I can't.

- [Maria] No.

No, no, no and no. You are
not bitching out again.

Get your ass out of bed,

eat something like
a normal person

and be ready in
two hours, got it?

- Okay.

- Oh, and make sure to
pack something sexy.

I have a friend
who might be there

and I think you guys would be-

- Maria.

I'm not meeting another
one of your friends

in the middle of a
fucking pandemic.

- [Maria] No, this
isn't an option.

I won't let you in the car

until I see something
sexy in your suitcase.

- Bye.

Let's...

Hi.
- Hi.

It's really good to see you.

- It's good to
see you, too, Sam.

- Okay, so, welcome
to your new pod.

It's, um, we've all been
like incredibly safe,

we haven't left the house
for literally months-

- No, I trust you. It's...

- Okay.

Are you doing okay?

- Good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- I just want you to know
that I'm here for you.

- [Troy] Okay, thanks.

- Yeah.

Can we?

- Yeah, come here.
- Okay.

(birds chirping)

- Oh wow, it feels pretty
good to hug somebody.

- [Sam] Right?

(Troy sighs)

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- What?

- Let me see it.
- Oh, the sex outfit,

it's, it's the
trunk, in the back.

- Go get it, we're not
leaving until I see it.

- I saw it, it's
incredibly sexy.

He has it here.

- It's very sexy.
- Two nipples like headlights.

- Okay, well you better
not be lying to me.

- Hey Troy.
- Hi, Zoe.

- Hi, hi.

Have you met my boyfriend?
- I don't think so.

Hello.
- This is Matt.

He's amazing, he's a programmer.

- [Troy] Awesome.

- Troy's the one
who did my website.

- Oh.

Very cool, what'd
you use? Like C++ or?

- Square, Squarespace.

- Oh.
- Whatever.

It's all black
magic sorcery to me.

- Okay, let's go.

- [Zoe] Oh my god, shut up.

You're the one who wanted
a whole runway show.

(Maria cheers)

- Fire Island bitches! (cheers)

(upbeat electronic music)

(upbeat electronic
music continues)

(upbeat electronic
music continues)

(upbeat electronic
music continues)

(birds chirping)

- Hey.

- Hm?

- Wake up.

You can't sleep all day.
- Why?

It's not like we
need to be anywhere.

- Sir, you do not get the
luxury of sleep today.

You left the door open again,
the house was freezing.

- What?

- When you came
back from smoking.

You didn't close it, again.
- Yes, I did.

- Okay, then, why was it open?

- Wind? I don't know.

- Well let me see.

Who was the last
one out last night

and who gets high all the
time and forgets shit?

Oh, I can't remember.

I think his name is
Bess or Chess or...

Oh, okay.

I can forgive you, if
one condition is met.

- Pancakes?

- Pancakes.

(Wes groans)

- Hell yeah.

(Sam laughs)

We got the whole
place to ourselves.

- Oh, I was secretly
hoping it'd be packed.

I miss being in a crowd.
- Oh, I know.

Squeezing through sweaty bodies.

Making out with strangers.

- Catching the virus,
dying slowly and horribly.

- Okay, can we just forget

about reality for
just a few days?

Like ban all talk
of Trump and COVID?

- [Sam] Yeah, done and done.

- [Trump] The new headline is,

"Trump asks people to go
outside, that's dangerous."

Here we go. Same old group.

Are you ready?

I hope people enjoy the sun.

- God, can we please
turn this off?

I can't listen to this
depressing news every morning,

on my birthday.
(Wes chuckles)

- So, birthday boy.

Anything you wanna do today?

I want you to know,

I really appreciate you
coming back to the island.

I know it wasn't easy for you.

- Coming back is the first
step to getting past things.

Plus, it was like
three years ago.

Can you believe it?

- And that fucker is at
the bottom of the ocean.

- So they say.

- Joseph, baby, come on.

You don't actually believe...

They found his body.

- A body.

But could, could
we just stop this?

(Joseph sighs)

I'm really, I'm fine.

I uh, I'm just really happy to
be here during this nightmare

we're all living
through, honest.

A walk would be nice, and,
uh, maybe, uh, make dinner?

Find something on Netflix?

- So what we've doing
everyday since March?

- Well yeah, but like a nice
meal with wine and dessert.

Like a good movie,
something gay and fun.

- You talkin' "Schindler's
List," or "Apocalypse Now?"

- I'm thinkin' "Mean Girls."
(Joseph and Wes laugh)

- Hey.

What's up with that guy?

- Ugh, his boyfriend
killed himself

just as lockdown started.

He came home and saw him
hanging in the living room.

It's so fucked up.

- Jesus.

- I feel so bad for him.
He's such a nice guy.

His boyfriend, on
the other hand?

- What?

- I mean, I shouldn't
speak ill of the dead, but,

I don't know, he had
these crazy mood swings.

Just never knew what
you were gonna get.

Doesn't surprise me what he did.

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

(gentle music)

- You found it?

I thought they were sold out?

- I have my ways.

(gentle music continues)

(upbeat electronic music)

(upbeat electronic
music continues)

- Oh my god, Ron,
look at that one.

- Oh, so dramatic.
- Okay, we get it.

You're macabre.

- Oh, these masks
are getting crazy

the longer the thing drags on.

Before you know it, you'll
have a couple of guys

in hazmat suits
and assless chaps.

- Eh, I saw that on
the ferry last week.

(men laughing)

(upbeat electronic music)

(ominous music)

(footsteps thudding)

- Jesus!

- It's not safe anymore, son.

Not safe, you gotta
get outta here.

- I need you to not
touch me, okay, okay?

Just back off.

- Shake my hand.
- Hey.

- Shake my hand and go.

Leave.
- I'm going.

- Hey.
- Leave, leave.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Jesus, fuck.

- [Sam] Who was
that? Are you okay?

- [Troy] I don't fucking
know, I'm not okay.

Jesus.

- [Sam] Did that guy
touch you at all?

- He touched all of me.

This is, this is beautiful.
How did you get this place?

- My guncle owns it.

He's a doctor.

He's been working
at the hospital 24/7

and he told me I could come
out whenever I wanted to.

- Guncle. What are you, like 14?

- [Zoe] Uh, I'm more like 24?

- [Maria] Wait, why the
hell is the door open?

- Girl, it's Fire Island.

Everything is open.

- [Maria] What the
hell is this place?

- This is the living room.

Fireplace, couches,
and that shag carpet

is perfect for fucking on.

Not that I've ever done that,
just, I would imagine so.

There's the pool and plenty
of places to chill outside,

although it's May
so it's probably

gonna get cold once
the sun goes down.

Oh, and your bedrooms are
front of the house is a queen

and up there are the
rest of the beds.

Come on.

(footsteps thudding)

(soft tense music)

Wait until you guys
see the upstairs.

You guys can fight
over who gets this one.

- Ooh.

Dibs.

- [Sam] Oh, god.

(Zoe laughs)

(soft tense music continues)

- This is my room.

(Zoe sighs)

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

(Matt sighs)

Oh, and uh, there's
another room downstairs.

It's kinda isolated, but
it is the biggest, so.

- Would you guys rather?

- No, we're good.
- All right.

- You want it?

All right, let's go.

- Oh, great. It's very nice.

- Get cozy.

(soft tense music continues)

(Troy exhales)

(soft tense music continues)

(upbeat electronic pop music)

- Ooh.

Come on, Matt, your girl
is shaking her ass for you.

Ooh.

Get up, what the
hell are you doing?

(upbeat electronic
pop music continues)

There you go.

Ow-ow!

(upbeat electronic
pop music continues)

Okay, now we don't
need all that.

(soft tense music)

(animal vocalizes
in the distance)

(ominous music)

- [Sam] Are you okay?

- Uh...

Yeah.

Uh, I just thought I saw like a-

- A deer?

- Yeah, I-
- Yeah.

The island's like
crawling with them.

They're really cute, though.

You can like go up and
pet 'em. It's hilarious.

- Sure.

Right.

(birds chirping)

- Okay.

So talk to me.

(Troy sighs)

- So yesterday I tried
to see if I could

spend an entire day in
bed without getting up,

and other than
having to pee, I did.

- Wow, wow, wow. You didn't eat?

- I had some Doritos
and then there was

a half drunk mug of coffee
on my nightstand, so.

- You know, um...

Talking to friends might help.

If you don't want to-
- No, it's...

(birds chirping)

If I tell you something, then
can it just stay between us

and then, like, I just would
like to go back to the weekend

and act like things
are fucking normal.

- Yeah, absolutely. I love that.

- So the day before
I found Jaden,

I'd broken up with him.

You know, we were
fighting everyday.

I didn't know what else to do.

And I'd become this, like,
this caretaker for him

and I know that
sounds super fucked up

because he was a
really good person and,

and, and it's not
his fault, I just...

(melancholy music)

- I'm so sorry. I wish
that I knew what to say.

(cell phone pings)

(Troy sighs)

Who's that?

- Oh, that's, it's Becca.

She wants me to come by.

She's actually
down on the island.

She wants me to come by for
like a drink or, I don't know,

but if she ever stops working.

Fucking lesbians.

(Sam laughs)

- Yes.

Okay.

Well, speaking of drinks.
- Yeah.

Oh, also, um, Maria
doesn't actually

have a friend that
she's gonna try

and hook me up with, does-
- No, she does.

- She does?
- She does.

- Goddammit.
- She does.

- Every time.
- I know.

- It's such a disaster.
- I know it's a disaster.

I tried to tell her not to,
but she wouldn't listen.

- Man, I shouldn't have come.

- Please don't say that.

It was really important
for me that you were here

because I really missed you.

(Sam inhales)

(Same exhales)

And who knows, maybe
getting a one night stand

isn't the worst
thing in the world.

- Okay, sure, I'll get
laid and then I can

immediately drop
dead with COVID.

- You're not gonna die of
COVID. We're too young to die.

- Okay.

- But your grandma.
(Troy laughs)

(Sam laughs)

She sucks, right?
- You're terrible.

You are canceled.
(Sam laughs)

Fuck.

I did, I really, I
did miss you, too.

- Aye yi yi yi.

Okay.

I hereby pour this libation

to summon forth the very,
very, very fun spirit

of my old best friend Troy.

- You already
poured the libation.

- I'm pouring more libation-
- Okay, enough, enough.

Please, please, enough.
You're gonna spill it.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

And also...

- Oh, Lord.

- What are those?

- This is gonna be good for you.

I promise.

- That's it?
- Yep.

- That's all I get?
- That's all you get.

- Okay. (chuckles)

Oh, yep.
(glasses clink)

- Clink.

(soft romantic music)

(Wes and Joseph
breathing heaviLy)

- One sec.

- No.
- No, hold on.

I gotta pee.
- Oh.

(Wes chuckles)

(Joseph sighs)

- Fine.

Fine, I'll go have
a look at that moon

you keep going on about.
- Do it, it's gorgeous.

(soft romantic music continues)

- Oh, it looks like crap.

(ominous music)

(rustling in the distance)

Wes?

(insects buzzing)

Wes?

(insects buzzing)

You all right?

You're blowing up
that bathroom again?

What's wrong with your stomach?

(insects buzzing)

Wes?

(knife slices)

(dramatic music)
(blood trickling)

(water splashes)

(electronic music)

- Oh, guys, it's become
grotesque. Come on.

- At least we're not like-
- Hey!

- These nasties.

Y'all are nasty, and you're
making Troy feel sad.

- No, no, not sad.
Just disgusted.

- Sorry, Troy.

Come on, let's go.

Be right back.

(Troy sighs)

- Okay, so what's the plan?
- Ooh, so I'm waiting

to hear back from my friend
who works at the Ice Palace.

He said if a table opens
up, he'll save it for us.

- Is that safe?

- They are super
limited capacity.

They're being really careful.

- I don't know, dude.

It only takes one
person to kill you.

- Oh my gosh, no, ew, shut up.

We are not gonna die.

- [Sam] Troy, what do you think?

- I don't wanna be
the killjoy, so.

(cell phone pings)

- Ooh, that is probably him.

Yep, he said there will be
a table ready in 30 minutes.

Are we going?

- Are we?

(Zoe moaning)
(soft electronic music)

(Zoe continues moaning)
(soft electronic music)

- Yeah, we are not missing
our table for this.

(banging on wall)
Chop, chop, let's go.

- [Zoe] What the
fuck, Maria? Get out!

(chair thuds)

- You missed.

(gentle music)

Down this lonely road

- Hey, you are Troy, right?

- Yeah, hi.
- I'm Jacob, Maria's friend.

- Oh, right. Nice to meet you.

- Can I buy you a drink?

- I actually just um,
I just ordered one.

It's right here, so.

- 12 bucks.
- Okay.

- Listen, I get it.

No problem.

- Thanks, sorry.

Okay.

As you fade away
into yesterday

Here I stand alone

And I wait
(ominous music)

- Troy.
- Zoe.

- Can you sing for us?
- No.

- I haven't heard
you sing in so long

and I miss it so much.
- I don't, I'm okay.

I'm good, I promise.
- Please, come on.

- No, I just wanna sit here

and sort of stare into
the glass, you know?

- Oh, who is that hot man there?

- No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, it's not about-
- He's looking at you, bitch.

Ow-ow!

- Please, I just,
I just wanna have

a nice, quiet night with-

- Uh, well, all the
more reasons to do it.

- To do what?

- Let that man suck your dick.
(Troy laughs)

(Zoe laughs)

- No, uh, I'm okay.
I'm all right.

- He's gonna sing.
- No, please, please, please.

Please, please, Zoe.
- He's really good.

- Zoe, stop.
- You should watch.

Come on, let's go,
let's go, please.

- I'm not, no, I, my drink.

You're a bitch, I

while. Took a while.

Where are you from?

No, no, let me guess, let

It's not a shit, it's not
a fart, it's just a shart.

It's dripping and I'm
all wet for you. (laughs)

No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Seriously, if any of you want
your temperature taken anally,

it's not gonna happen,
it's too messy.

I can't stand it.

(audience exclaiming)
No.

Unless, of course, it's after
hours and I'm your girl.

(audience cheering)
(audience clapping)

All right, bitch,

Okay, let's hear it for Lungs.

Let's hear it for the
bottom with the big heart.

- [Zoe] Thank you, Troy.

- Yeah, a real mood killer.

Um, next up, darling.

- Sorry.

- No, that was,
that was amazing.

- Thanks.
- That was great.

- Do you want a drink?
- Yes, please.

- Okay, great. What
would you like?

- More gin and tonic-
- I'll just keep them-

- Just keep-
- Just keep 'em comin'?

- Just keep pouring them.
- Yep.

- Forever.

- Where did he go?

- I don't know.

(people chattering)
(insects buzzing)

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

(thudding in the distance)
(Troy gasps)

(ominous music continues)

(tense dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(indistinct police
radio chatter)

- [Jack] What do you got?

- Wes Torres and Joseph Gibbons.

They were both raped.

We're not sure if it
was before, or after.

And one thing.

You're gonna wanna see this.

(tense dramatic music)

And we got no prints, Jack.

- You're saying the
killer was staying here?

- We think.

- What about security cameras?

- They'd all been cut.

- So you're telling me
you ain't got any leads?

- I'm thinkin' maybe
this has something to do

with the murder at the
Pines a few years ago?

The body that washed up on
shore, it was never identified.

Who's to say the killer
isn't still here?

- All right, you know
what we gotta do?

We gotta keep this
under wraps for now.

- This is a small island, Jack.

- Exactly.

And this guy could be close

and we got a chance
at nailing him

if it doesn't go all
over the news, all right?

We can't have this island
gettin' all hysterical.

- People are already talkin'.

- All right, you know
what you tell 'em?

If anybody asks, you say
it was a GHB overdose.

- GHB?
- Happens every summer.

They won't think twice
about it, all right?

Go do your job.

(tense dramatic music)

Santino.

If you hear anything,
I wanna be the first

to know about it, all right?

(tense dramatic music)
(police radio chatter)

(tense dramatic music continues)

- Let's go straight, somewhere.

- There's trees.

- We get to see trees, guys.

Be excited.
- I love trees.

- I love trees, too.

(Sam humming)

- [Maria] Oh god, I feel sick.

I don't remember the last
time I was this hungover.

- [Zoe] I know, but
we're getting old.

(soft tense music)

- Troy.
- What?

- Come on.
- I'm comin'.

I'll get there.

- [Sam] Okay.

(Troy humming)
(soft tense music)

(dramatic music)

(Troy humming)
(soft tense music)

(dramatic music)

- Oh my god.

Fuck.
- Look at my old friend.

- Look, man, I don't
wanna get killed, okay?

- Lonely here, isn't it?

- Yep.

- Look at those fuckin' deer.

Always watchin'.

Waitin'.

- [Troy] They're uh,
yeah, they're great.

- It's too quiet here.

Even the raven himself is hoarse

that croaks the fatal entrance

of Duncan under my battlements.

- My friends are
right over there.

- Come ye spirits that
dwell on mortal thoughts

and sex me here and fill
me from crown to toe,

top full of direst cruelty.

You shouldn't be here, son.

(birds chirping)

(Murph whistling)

- Fuck you, man.

Jesus.

Hey!

(soft electronic pop music)

And he did that, like, the
Batman thing, you know?

Where he's there and then-
- I love the Batman thing.

- Like, have you actually
seen someone do it, though?

It's really disturbing.

- Really?
- Yeah.

People aren't supposed
to move that fast.

- Hey, friends.

Is tonight the night?

- [Zoe] You had molly
this whole time?

- Hell yes I did.
- Well bring it out.

What are we doing?

- [Troy] Is it,
um, what's it like?

- Excuse me? What's it like?

Troy, it's fucking
incredible, especially sex.

- [Troy] Oh, well...

- Or masturbation.
- Great.

Cool, while y'all are
havin' mind blowing sex,

I'll just be masturbating.
(all laughing)

- There's nothing wrong
with a little self care.

- Oh, and the showers
are awesome, too.

Ugh, I took one alone once

and I was in the shower
for like two hours.

- Did you masturbate?

- Uh, obviously. I have a hand.

- All right.

Okay.

- Yes.

Shove it in, shove it in.

- Down the hatch.

- You just, fuckin'-
- Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.
- Okay.

(Maria and Zoe laughing)

- Yes!

- There we go.

(tense dramatic music)

- [Officer] Dispatch,
show car two on scene.

(tense dramatic music continues)

- What do you got?

- [Detective Santino] Major
contusions to the head,

chest and torso.

Most likely an ax.

Looks like she was raped, too.

- Any other prints?

- [Detective Santino] Only hers.

- She lived alone?

- [Detective Santino] Yeah.

- Looks like somebody
was lying here.

Spent the night.

Could be our guy.

Hey.
(fingers snap)

Give me this.

Take this, lock it down.

Nobody in, nobody
out, all right?

- You got it, boss.

- Jack.
- What?

(tense dramatic music continues)

- We can't keep thus
under wraps much longer.

- Like you said, it's a
small island, all right?

Let's stick to our plan.

- The families, they're
gonna be notified.

- Well when that happens,
I'll deal with it.

We're gonna catch
this guy, all right?

He's sloppy, he's
making mistakes. What?

- [Officer] Boss, we need
you back at the headquarters.

We'll run over it.

- Santino, just do your job.

Do your job.

(tense dramatic music continues)

(ominous music)

(Zoe laughs)

(all laughing)

- Just stop it.

Stop.

(Troy sighs)

Thanks for inviting me.

- I kind of forced you to come.

- Yeah, you did.

You did, but, I'm
lucky to have a friend

who forces me to, like,
take care of myself.

- Yeah, we do that
for each other.

- I felt really guilty,

and I've just kind of been
by myself a lot, you know?

(Troy sighs)

But I swear, I feel like
I can breathe and, uh,

(chuckles) this
weekend was the last

fuckin' thing I
wanted to do, but,

I'm really happy I came.

I just sorta love you.

(Sam laughs)

Oh, mm.
- Thank you so much.

(gentle music)
(waves sloshing)

My friend.
- My friend.

- My friend.
- Where are you taking me?

- My friend, let's go!
- Oh no, we're running.

(Sam screams)
We're running!

(Sam screaming)

(gentle music)

(Troy exhales)

Oh, hey, Zoe? Hey, Zoe?

- Mm?
- Zoe?

Could you, could you
hit this, please?

(Zoe scoffs)
Thank you very much.

- No, it's gonna be
so fuckin' romantic.

The sunrise, the waves.

Don't you think so, Troy?

Wouldn't you like to
have sex on the beach?

- [Troy] No.

- Yeah, I mean...

- I'm fucking you on the
beach. It's happening.

- We can discuss it.

- Uh, I'm making coffee, geez.

- [Troy] Okay.

That's it, I'm going to bed.

- Yeah, we're gonna
go upstairs, I think.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

Everybody's fuckin'! Woo!

(Maria laughs)

(Troy grunts)

(light clicks)

(soft ominous music)

(Sam grunts)

- Come here.

(Sam laughs)

(ominous music)

- Okay, wait, wait.
- Come on, babe.

- No, no, no, no. Babe, babe.

Hey, babe, I love you but-
- We stayed up all night.

We're gonna do this. Come on.

(Matt sighs)

- Hey, Sam?

(ominous music continues)

(electronic music)

(shower water pattering)
(electronic music continues)

(gentle music)

Yo, who's on my speaker?

Come on, guys, who...

From our history

Down this lonely road

- Guys!
You take my heart away

(rock ballad music)

Here I stand alone

- Where the fuck is my shirt?

(ominous music)

Hey, guys?

Sam?
(Sam grumbles)

Um, did you try
connecting to my speaker?

- [Sam] What?

No.
- I, yeah, nevermind.

Sorry.

(ominous music continues)

Hey, Zoe?

Zoe?

(ominous music continues)

- Are they out there?

- No.

- They said that they were gonna

go to the beach a
couple hours ago.

- I know.

- Okay, fine, hold
on. Let me just...

- Thank you. Thanks.

Sorry.

(ominous music continues)

(insects buzzing)

(ominous music continues)

Is there, um, is there another
spot on the island that,

that they'd go to?

- Nothing was open.

- Well, I mean, just like, um...

- You know what?
Maybe she texted me.

I don't know where the
fuck I put my phone.

You know what?

I mean, they probably
went to the beach to walk.

I mean they've only been
gone for what? Like...

- Like six hours.

- Oh, hold on.

Zoe.

"I had to take Matt
to the hospital."

- Oh my god.
- What?

- Is she kidding?

- If she's texting, I'm
just gonna call her.

- [Operator] The
person you are calling

is using a screening service.

- She screened my call.

- That fuckin' weird.

- 'Cause why would she text you

and then not pick up my call?

- But they got to the hospital

and then decide to text me now?

- What if we have to
fucking quarantine?

- No, that wouldn't happen
because if it was COVID,

she would have said
something, right?

- Yeah.
- I mean it's Zoe.

- [Troy] What do you
want me to ask her?

- Ask her if Matt's okay.

- Ask her if we have
to fuckin' quarantine.

- Hold on, um...

And, okay, send.

She's typing.

Um...

"It's definitely not COVID,
but I'll be back tonight.

My phone's gonna die, XO."

- Typical Zoe.

- She fuckin' flaked.
- She fucking flaked.

- This is Burning Man.
- This is Burning Man.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

(Troy sighs)

- I mean, it's her house.

- It's her car.

(ominous music)

(animals vocalizing)

(ominous music continues)

You haven't heard anything?

- No.

I mean, she did say her phone
was gonna die, but like,

my texts aren't
even going through.

- Where the fuck is it? Ugh.

You try calling it again, Sam.

- Babe, I have called your
phone like 10 times, okay?

It probably fell
out on the boardwalk

or I don't fucking know.

- No I had it here last night.

We were playing music off
of it, do you not remember?

- Yeah, I remember,
so that must mean

it's on silent or
it's dead, babe.

It's, it's gonna show up 'cause
it literally always does.

- It's not, though,
so unless you're gonna

help me find it, it
doesn't fucking matter.

I have a raging fucking headache

and this isn't
helping, obviously, so
good fucking night.

- [Sam] Hey.

Where are you going?

- I am going to sleep.

- It's 9:00 PM, come one, we
haven't even had dinner yet.

- All I want is to find my
phone and to go to sleep

and seeing as how finding my
phone isn't a fuckin' option,

especially because you two

aren't doing absolute
shit, (chuckles)

I'm going to do the latter.

I'm going to take a Xanax

and neither of you are
invited to join me.

- [Sam] Okay.

- [Maria] Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot, Troy, yeah.

Big help, thanks.

(Troy scoffs)

- Okay, goodnight sweetie.

- [Maria] Yeah, whatever.

- You okay?

- Yeah, are you hungry?
- Yes.

- Yeah, let's go eat a sandwich.

- Okay, a sandwich.

It's weird seeing
so many dark houses.

- Yeah.
- We're the only ones here.

- I know.

Yeah, it makes
sense no one's here

'cause the bars are all
closed and everything.

- Yeah, I guess.

- What are they gonna do-
- What are they gonna do?

Hang out with us?
(Sam laughs)

Hey, is Maria okay?

'Cause I feel like I
made that situation-

- No, that was-
- Much worse.

- Absolutely not you.

She's...

She's fine. It's just...

It's been...

I, eh...

- Eh?

- It's been tense.
It's been tense.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- I'm completely
fine, thank you.

- I've just, I've never seen her

get that aggressive like that.
- Yeah.

- I don't know.

It just was, um
(sniffles) it was weird.

Sorry, I don't mean like,
I'm not judging or anything,

I just, it just was-
- No.

- It was just different.
- No, yeah.

And again, I'm sorry that
you had to be part of that.

- [Troy] It was kind of awesome.

(Sam chuckles)

Sam, what are you doing?

(ominous music continues)

(footsteps thudding)

(dramatic music)
Wh-

(Maria screams)

(Maria grunting)

(flesh squelching)
(Maria yells)

(Maria coughs)

- No, I'm telling you, it's
not anything that was red.

- Okay.
- No strawberries

or raspberries.
- Oh raspberries, sad.

- Yeah, I missed
raspberries badly.

He wouldn't even eat
beef unless it had

been cooked before he saw it.

- Holy shit.

- Holy shit.
- Holy shit.

- Yeah.

Dinner was always an ordeal.

Dessert was an ordeal.
We couldn't eat M&M's.

- You love M&M's.
(Troy chuckles)

It's really nice to
hear you talk about him.

- I miss him.

- Yeah.

(cell phone ringing)

- Is it?
- It's my beloved.

Hi, Maria. Where did you
find your phone, Maria?

Maria?
(Troy chuckles)

- It's the service.

She has one of the
shit companies, right?

- She does.
(Troy laughs)

(phone line trilling)

Hi.

Sweetie pie.

- Honey, honey boo boo?

- Honey baby.

No? Nothing?

No, she hung up.

- Oh, good. That's progress.

- Maria? You left the
fuckin' door open again.

Hello?
- She's probably asleep.

- You're right. She probably
took another fuckin' Xanax.

(Troy sighs)

- Thank you.
- Yes.

(Troy grunts)

- I'm not saying
thank you again.

(Sam laughs)

What?

- I should go check on Maria.

- Yeah, go.

(footsteps thudding)

- Maria?

(ominous music)

Maria?

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, um, Zoe's outside.

(door opens)

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, Maria?

(thudding in the distance)

(ominous music continues)

- Sam!

Sam, um, Zoe told
me she was outside,

but there's nobody there.

- Maria's not upstairs.

- What?

Where's my...

Where's my phone?

- [Sam] What do you
mean where's your phone?

- It was here and...

- [Sam] Where, where
the fuck is my phone?

- Um, I don't wanna be here.

I wanna leave.
- Okay, wait a minute.

- [Troy] I wanna
leave here, Sam.

I don't feel safe.
- Where are you gonna go?

- Where the fuck are
our phones, then?

- I don't know.

Let's take a sec-
- I, I don't,

I don't wanna be here.

(water trickling)
(ominous music)

I swear, if there's
nobody in here,

then I'm just gonna start

banging on people's
doors because...

Well we have to talk to
somebody and I don't...

Okay, look, the light's on.

Great. Let's uh...

Okay, so-
- Okay.

"Due to the pandemic,
we are closed."

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see.

We're just gonna go in

and ask to use the phone
and then we'll be out.

- I don't know, dude.
- It's not a big deal.

(ominous music)

Look, they got
the power running.

That fountain's fucking on.

It's something.

Okay.

Um...

Please be open, come on.

Great.

Hello?

Hi, excuse us?

Hello?

(ominous music)

The light was up there.
- Yep.

(ominous music continues)

Wow.
- Yeah.

Hello?

(Troy sighs)

(ominous music continues)

That door is open.

- [Sam] Yeah.

(ominous music continues)

(metallic clanging)
(Sam gasps)

- What the fuck was
that? Was that upstairs?

- I think that was upstairs.

(ominous music continues)

- Hello?

Hey, sorry, hello?

Fuck.

There's nobody up here.

- Oh, shit.

I don't think there's
a caretaker here, dude.

I think, I think
somebody's squatting.

- Yeah.

(Sam exhales)

(ominous music continues)

- Huh.

I can see our house from here.

Troy?

(ominous music continues)

- We have to go.

We have to go.
- Why?

- That's my fucking shirt.

Just go.

- Your shirt?
- Yeah.

- Why are we running?
- Just keep near me closely.

Just keep near me.

(tense dramatic music)

Come on.

Hurry, hurry.

(tense dramatic music continues)

Yesterday, while I
was taking a shower,

I got back to the room

and my fucking shirt
was off the bed, okay?

And then when we got to
that, that fuckin' attic,

it was in that sleeping bag.

My shirt was in
that person's room.

- What?

- So they came into the house

and they took it and
now the phones are gone

and, and Maria and
Zoe are fucking gone

and I don't know where they are.

- Take a deep breath, okay?

- So some, some motherfucker
is fucking with us.

- Okay.

- And I don't, I don't,
like, I don't wanna be here.

I wanna get on the
next fucking ferry.

I wanna fucking
leave this place.

- Okay, that's fine.
- Okay?

- Yep, this is very, very scary.

- Yeah, I know, I-
- Hey, hey, just breathe.

- I don't need to be calmed
down, I need to find a phone.

- We're gonna find a phone.

We're finding a phone.
- Okay.

- We'll go back to
the restaurant and
we'll find a phone.

- Which way is the restaurant?
I don't know where we are.

- It's this way.

I'm pretty sure that
it's this way, just-

(dramatic music)

- Fuck, go, run.

(Troy and Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

Go!

(Troy and Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

Lock the doors, get knives!

Knives!

(Sam panting)
(dramatic music continues)

- What the fuck?
- Shh.

- Shh.
- I don't see him.

I don't see him.

(Troy panting)

Okay.

(Troy mumbles)

- Backyard. Backyard.

(Troy panting)

(door creaking)

(Sam breathing heavily)

- Sam.

Sam. Whoa!

(Sam gasps)

Sam, run!

(flesh squelching)

No!

(Sam gasps)
(flesh squelching)

(blood spurting)

(Troy panting)

(tense dramatic music)

(ax thuds)
(Troy grunts)

- Hey, Melissa.

What's going on?

(flags rustling)

I thought the
Belvedere was closed.

(flags rustling)

I'm on it.

(gentle music)

Down this lonely road

You walk away from me

From our history
(upbeat piano music)

You take my heart away

(Troy coughing)

(Troy panting)

- Help, help, help.

Help!

Help me!

Help!

No, no!

- Hey.

It's me. (laughs)

Remember?

Sorry about the straps.

I tried to keep
'em lose for you.

I'm building a family.

No more isolation.

I fucking hate this isolation!

But now I have a family.

And you.

Boop.
(Troy gasps)

Yeah, I did what I had to
do for us to be together.

Okay, so neither of us would
ever have to be alone again.

After I lost everyone that
meant everything to me,

I promised myself that I
would never be alone again.

I mean...

I deserve that, right?

And then this
fucking pandemic hit

and can't even go
on Grindr these days

without a fuckin'
COVID test, am I right?

Sorry.

(Troy whimpers)

Guess I shouldn't
complain, though.

Everyone seemed
to forget I might

still be alive after COVID hit.

(Troy sobbing)

That didn't change
how lonely I became.

And then I, I found you.

And when I saw you, I knew.

I knew that I had found
someone that I could depend on,

who had friends that
I would actually

wanna hang out with. (laughs)

Crazy is that?

- Please let me go.

Please?

(Rafael laughs)

- Go?

(Rafael laughs)

Go where? (laughs)

Back out to the
pandemic? (laughs)

No. You're much
safer here with me.

(kiss smacks)

(Troy whimpers)

(hit thuds)
(bone cracks)

- [Troy] Fuck!

- I'm sorry about that.

I really am.

But it's the only way
that we could be together.

Have you seen what
it's like out there?

Just going outside
is dangerous, okay?

I can keep you safe and
I can make you feel good.

- Fuck you.

- Do you have any idea how long

I have waited for
someone like you?

Do you understand?

(knocking on door)

- [Troy] Help!

Help!
- Shh.

(knocking on door)

(ominous music)

(door closes)

(ominous music continues)

(banging in the distance)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

(Troy gasps)

- [Troy] Hey, hey.

Please, help me.

Help me.

He's out there.

- Oh, shit, oh, shit.

- He's gonna kil me.
- It's gonna be okay.

Relax, just relax.

Relax.
- Ow, fuck!

- Relax.
- Ow!

- [Troy] Oh, please, please.

- [Detective
Santino] Just relax.

- Fuck!

Hey, hey, he's-

(ax thuds)
(flesh squelches)

(blood dripping)

Fuck!

(body thuds)

(Troy panting)
(tense dramatic music)

(tense dramatic music continues)

(door creaks)

(ominous music)

Help!

(birds chirping)

(Troy grunting)

Help!

Help!

Somebody!

(Troy grunting)
(ominous music continues)

(Troy panting)

- [Rafael] Is it the mask?

'Cause I can take it off, babe!

(Troy panting)

(tense dramatic music)

(tense dramatic music continues)

(Troy grunts)

(waves sloshing)

- Hey!

Hey!

Help me!

(tense dramatic music continues)

(Troy panting)

Help!

- [Rafael] Come on home, babe.

You don't have to run!

Come on home, baby.
- Fuck.

Fuck.

- You don't have to run.

I love you.

(Troy grunting)

(Troy choking)
(Rafael grunting)

(Rafael laughing)

(Rafael sighs)

If I can't have you...

No one can.

- A beach town reeling
from the pandemic

has been dealt a deadly blow

after a series of
gruesome murders

at the hands of a serial killer

were reported over the weekend.

- Murder in the Pines.

A gruesome massacre was
discovered over the weekend.

- Murder in the Pines.

A gruesome massacre was
discovered over the weekend.

- Leaving multiple dead and
the killer still at large.

- As police investigate,

it is like this town
may never recover.

Reporting live from the Pier,
I'm Leah Lando. Back to you.

(ominous music)

(upbeat electronic music)

- Listen, listen, another one.

- Another.
- Just another.

- Mm.

- And know you two fuckers-

(man coughing)
Hey, baby, please relax.

I know you two fuckers
aren't gonna say anything

so I have to take
charge yet again.

How long has it been since
we've all been together,

you amazing fucking people?

- Over a year, bitch.
- Oh.

- Yeah, over a year.
- Oh, me.

Oh no, cheers to that.

Hey, honey.

- To sticking it out.
- Yes.

- And to friends.
Corny, I'm sorry.

- It's fine.
- I'm sorry, I need a water.

- Oh.
- Fucking water.

- I need a water.

- Are you serious?
- A water?

Gin and tonic.
- Excuse me.

There's just
one thing I know

I'm never letting go

As long as I breathe

As long I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

As long I bleed

And there's stars in the sky

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

When I close my eyes

You're there waitin'

To hold me

Every morning I wake up

It's still you I see

Whatever tomorrow holds

There's just
one thing I know

As long as I breathe

As long as I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

As long as I bleed

And there's stars in the sky

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

(rock ballad music)

As long as I breathe

As long as I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

(rock ballad music)

Oh, yeah.

As long as I breathe

As long as I'm alive

You know that I'll
never say goodbye

(rock ballad music)

Oh, yeah
