You know I love scouting
with you, Billie.

[water running]

I'm gonna put these
work clothes away.

Get 'em off the couch.



[water running]

Hell, it's the next best thing
to hunting season itself.

No guns. Just scouting.

Just the two of us.

[chimes continue jingling]

[fist thuds]

[message dings]

I like it too, being
out in the woods.

[soft piano music]

Billie.

I had a chicken leg
sitting right here.

Where is it?

[soft piano music]

-[message dings]
-Hon, that went bad.

That leg was good. It was fine.

-Well, uh--
-Forget it.

[bacon sizzling]

Luke, I was wondering.

Luke?

Is that what you're
calling me at home?

What do you call me at home?

Daddy.

-[ominous music]
-[bacon sizzling]

You gotta speak up, sugar.

I can't hear you
over this side meat.

Daddy. I call you
Daddy at home.

That wasn't so hard. Was it?

I mean, I, I don't
think I ask for much.

And I love you more than
anything in the whole world.

You know that, right?

Of course I do.

Of course I do, what?

-[ominous music]
-[bacon sizzling]

Of course I do, Daddy.

That's my girl.

Come here.

[kisses]

Pow. [chuckles]

What'd you wanna ask me about?

You said you wanna ask
me something, right?

You said something
about you was wondering?

Oh yeah. Um...

Well I was wondering,

Daddy, if, um,

well, if tonight I could
get into some sweatpants

and be real comfy.

You know, just get into some
sweatpants for a change.

[both chuckle]

Honey, you ain't wearing no
sweatpants in this house.

-[eerie music]
-You know better than that.

So you need to stop being silly

'cause you know exactly
the way I want you at home.

-[bacon sizzling]
-[eerie music]

[Luke] Come on now, sugar. You
ain't gotta look that sad.

Listen, when I'm
out on a hunt,

you can sneak out
anything you wanna wear

outta that closet, okay?

Put it on. Wear it.

Just as long as you
ain't still wearing it

when I get back
here to my castle.

We've been through this.

Now, I love you.

Get changed.

[bacon sizzling]

Yes, Daddy.

-[eerie music]
-[chimes jingling]

[bacon crunching]

Put some clothes on, girl.

This ain't an exhibition show.

-[ominous music]

[ominous music]

Now,

I know...

I can't give you
everything you want,

but I'll give you
everything you need, girl.

Everything you need.

'Cause ain't no one ever
gonna love you the way I do.

[sniffs] You know that, right?

Yes, Daddy.

Hmm.

And you here with me,

it means you're safe.

I ain't never gonna let
nothing happen to you. Never.

I'm your protector.

I wanna hear you say it.

What am I, Billie?

My protector.

That's right.

And this ain't all
talk, a bunch of words.

Your whole family, who I
share a deep faith with,

entrusted me with this honor.

[ominous music continues]

[sighs] Hmm.

[Luke groans]

[chimes jingling]

[floor creaking]

[frame clacks]

Your whole family, except one.

Sack of shit you
call "Grandma".

That's my nightstand!

Don't touch it like that.

That's my stuff.
Don't touch it.

Hey. Everyone knows she's evil.

And I'm talking in the most
classical sense of the term.

She's right there
with the devil.

It was an accident. Okay?

I walked over and
bumped into it, it fell.

I'm sorry.

I walked over bumped into
it and it fell. I'm sorry.

[exhales] There, there, there.

How's that? All right?

Okay. I knocked it
over on accident.

And I'm sorry.

It was an accident.

You gonna forgive me? Hmm?

I know you do.

I know you want to. Say it.

You forgive me?

Yes.

[ominous music]

Yes.

I'm glad.

[Luke sniffs]

[rustling]

[footsteps thudding]

Oh, do you have
to set that up?

-Just once, I'd--
-Billie, Billie.

The two of us, we're gonna
grow old and gray together.

And I told you, I ain't
always going to feel

the same way about you.

I know, but just once I'd--

It's just a little something.

Just a little something to
help me remember you by.

[ominous music]

I get nervous being on
tape recordings like that.

No, it's just
something to help me

remember how I like you.

The way you are, right now.

[camera whirring]

[insects chirping]

-[clock clicking]
-[chimes jingling]

You need me and you know it,

and your folks know it too.

Hell, you scared.
'em half to death,

staring off into space
like some goddamn lunatic.

Seeing shit.

Everyone knows, I have zero
tolerance for the devil.

That's why you're here.

Ain't no devil
allowed in this house.

We got Sunday church
in the morning.

The morning ain't
coming for a while.

The little red dress.

You put that one on.

We're gonna meet at the
Vet's, with the fellas.

Saturday night.

-[snaps fingers]
-What you waiting on?

Get to it, girl. Come on.

-[upbeat rock music]
-[customers chattering]

[glasses clinking]

So there we was, Billie
and me this morning.

I lift my field glasses
up and I see the most...

What's the word?

[Ray] What have you
been up to Billie?

[Luke] Ripe!

Ripe black bear and her cubs.

Oh, I've been making
dioramas mostly, Ray.

-Inside of shoe boxes.
-I'm telling you right now,

the season can't get
here fast enough.

You know you can't
harvest a mama bear

and her cubs in
this state. [scoffs]

You glue little trees down?

I didn't say that.

What I said was, I can
give two flying fucks

about harvesting
a female and her babies.

Yeah, um, I make little trees.

And animals. I like
adding animals.

Two shits, you mean.

What?

The expression is, "You
don't give two shits."

Flying fucks always
come in ones.

[men laugh]

Do you make the
animals yourself?

You a stupid son of
a bitch, you know that?

Can you be any more
fucking annoying? Huh?

Shut up! Shut the
fuck up sometimes!

No, they're made out
of plastic. I buy them.

You need to shut up more.
You need to shut up better.

[men laugh]

Well heck, that's
still creative.

What the hell is
wrong with you, man?

-Hey, hey, hey.
-Yeah, I enjoy

making dioramas, Ray.

-[beer splashing]
-Hey, hey, hey.

-Watch it!
-What the fuck, Luke?

Can I ask you
something, Billie?

What the hell's
your problem, man?

-Hey, what the fuck?
-Don't touch me!

I thought we were
just playing around.

If you could live anywhere
you want in the world,

just snap your fingers.

-Hey, Billie.
-[snaps fingers]

Billie, what you doing?

[eerie music]

Antarctica.

-[orb buzzing]
-Antarctica?

Are you pulling my leg?

I'd go somewhere tropical.

-Billie, I'm talking to you.
-[orb buzzing]

[eerie music]

Hey, Billie.

[Luke] Billie. Look at me.

Billie, snap the
fuck out of it.

[orb buzzing]

Billie!

-[pounds fist]
-Billie!

-[orb whooshes and buzzes]
-Sorry, Daddy.

[chuckles] She thinks
you're her Daddy.

-[men laughing]
-[ominous music]

[hand slaps]

Drinks on me, boys.
It's been fun.

[Billie gasps]

Luke, man, go easy.

[upbeat rock music]

[engine revving]

Un-fucking-believable.

[pounds hand]

Are you kidding me?

Shit.

You chose tonight to
start seeing shit again?

Fucking kidding me?

[engine revving]

Embarrass me in front
of my friends like that.

What the hell's wrong with you?

[engine revving]

Now the joke's
on me. [slurping]

And here I am thinking that
you're doing so much better.

Doing so good, but no.

You slip right in to that
bullshit again in public!

-[engine revving]
-[tires screeching]

Fucking livid!

[Luke slurping]

Don't yell at me.

Do you even believe in Jesus?

[sighs] Shit.

[engine revving]

I'm just curious.

I am not in the mood
right now, okay?

So don't you start with me.

I just wonder sometimes,

is your faith real
in that church?

[engine revving]

Or you just making all
that up to get in my pants?

Shut up!

Shut up!

Keep your mouth shut.
I'm done talking!

That's it. Just
fucking sit there.

You need help.

You need help.

[scoffs] Shit.

Shame on me. [exhales]

-[chattering on TV]
-[traffic whirring]

[Man On TV] No,
Cadence, I'm sorry.

[birds and insects chirping]

I'm not always so morbid.

It's just that the, the
funeral ceremony is today.

[Woman On TV] It's
a very beautiful pond.

You know, this is
all just exactly like

I imagined Ireland would be.

[Man On TV] It rained
today at the funeral.

We stood around her grave
under black umbrellas.

And then we threw flowers
under her little headstone.

-Mother looked at the flowers
-[keyboard clacking]

and then she collapsed.

Every year it's been the same.

The umbrellas, flowers,

-and mother's collapse.
-[mouse clicking]

[Woman On TV] But
that was years ago.

Why do you keep having
the same ceremony

over and over again?

[Man On TV] There's some
things you don't understand.

Not yet.

Mother's probably waiting.

I'll be in my workshop.

[Woman on TV] I don't know.
I think he's in the studio.

He said he had
a sudden inspiration.

Something about wanting to
finish his statute before...

[Man] All right, Simon. I seen
ya, come out of there now.

I give up.

You caught me
fair and square.

[soft piano music]

-[eerie music]
-[static crackling]

-[eerie music continues]
-[static crackling]

[Billie gasping]

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[sportscaster on TV] ...And
Harvey sends Bellevo away.

Bellevo is down, over
the line with Jeffreon.

Bellevo shoots right on.

And the rebound
cleared by Bauer.

Left wing pass to Olmsted.

Knocked away from
him by Jeffreon.

Recovered for the Leafs.

Clears the other side.

Stewart playing it
back in to Horton.

Horton to Stanley.

Stanley rolled it
ahead to Milford...

[head whacks]

[Billie coughing]

You never spy on a man's
personal belongings.

Do you hear me? Huh?

You've been sharing those
videos, you son of a bitch!

You said they were private!

If there's any more stupid,
there's gonna be hell to pay!

[head whacking]

-[Billie groaning]
-[Luke breathes heavily]

-[body thuds]
-Hey.

Come on, get up.

I said, get up!

-[suspenseful music]
-[chattering on TV]

You see what you did?

Shit. I didn't do anything.

What the hell?

What the hell you
make me do? Huh?

You did this.

You did this!

Next time, you mind
your goddamn business!

[sportscaster] The
side of the net,

into the corner
on the boards,

it's Olmsted back to
the point to Stanley.

He winds up for the shot.

And it's kicked out over
the line by Allegua.

[breathes heavily] Okay.

Set up for Toronto to attack.

[Luke sniffs and sighs]

Married couples
fight all the time.

Married couples
fight all the time.

I didn't do anything.
Just gotta walk it off.

[exhales] Just
gonna walk it off.

[chattering on TV]

Gotta walk it
off, boy. Come on.

-[door sliding]
-[insects chirping]

[footsteps pattering]

[suspenseful music]

[sportscaster] In lieu of
last year's Stanley Cup,

so there seeing a lot of
hockey out there tonight.

And we hope that they
are feeding you well.

[eerie music]

Face off to the left of Bauer.

[Billie breathes heavily]

[chattering on TV continues]

[Billie groaning]

[Billie breathes heavily]

[Billie whimpering]

[phone line ringing]

Billie?

-[Billie crying]
-Oh my goodness.

I hate him.

I hate him so fucking much.

Slow down, honey.

What did he do?

He's been showing our sex
recordings to his friends.

Then he choked me,
I passed out. [cries]

I knew it.

That backwoods trash
son of a bitch!

I know, Maddy. I know. [cries]

Where is he now, Billie?

He's in his shop, I guess.

You need to leave, hon.

-Mmm.
-You need to leave now.

-Where am I gonna go?
-Are his car keys there?

-[suspenseful music]
-[Billie breathes uneasily]

Y-Yes.

Grab those keys and go,
Billie. You hear me?

Grab those keys
and drive to me.

Get the hell out of
there once and for all.

This is it. You must leave.

I might be the black
sheep, but goddamn

if he'll lay another hand
on you as long as I'm alive.

Okay. Okay. [breathes uneasily]

You're driving to me,
Billie, right this minute.

Okay, Grandma. Okay, I'm coming.

Do it, Billie. God
bless you, do it.

I love you, Grandma.

A situation
tragically familiar.

It's been announced that
five thousand Indians

in Guatemalan villages
are about to be murdered.

Guatemala,
Guatemala, Guatemala.

[suspenseful music]

[customers chattering]

-[suspenseful

Billie. What a surprise
is, uh, is Luke with you?

You know, I, I have been meaning

to give that old dog a call.

-Hank.
-Yeah.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-It's great to see you.
-[Hank chuckles]

Luke's outta the
country right now.

Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm
just on my way through

to visit some family.

Really?

I, [chuckles] I,
I do apologize.

I'm, I'm not exactly
dressed for company.

Really, uh, I'm the one
who should be apologizing.

Here I am putting you on the
spot in the middle of nowhere.

Uh, listen, I'm, I'm just
wrapping up a fishing trip

here in Dunsmuir, and I thought
I'd go out and cast my line

a few more times
before heading back.

Oh, that, that sounds
real nice, Hank.

Uh. And, and you don't
have to apologize.

Uh, it, it was real
great to see you.

You, you, you know what?

When, when Luke's back in
the country, we can all--

Yeah, well, wait a second.
Now where did he go?

I mean, uh, Luke was
never one to travel

for pleasure, in my estimation.

He's in Guatemala right now.

-Guatemala?
-For starters.

Um, he's going to
Peru after that,

but, but right now
he's in Guatemala.

Whoa. [chuckles] What the
heck is Luke doing down there?

Missionary work for our church.

[chuckles] Luke is
doing missionary work?

-Mm-hmm.
-Your Luke?

He's been, um, he's been
wanting to share Christ

for some time now.

Wait, so he's in Guatemala,

but then he's, he's,
he's going to Peru?

So he's, he's, he's
in Central America,

but then he's traveling
to South America?

I mean, I just can't
see Luke doing that.

Uh, I mean, are, are they
really that far apart?

Yeah, yes, they
are. I'm sure of it.

I was just as shocked
as you when he told me,

but you know how Luke is.

-Uh-huh.
-He's a strong-handed man.

And once he gets an idea
in his head. [chuckles]

Well, all right, Billie, uh,

I'll let you get
settled in here, uh.

Yeah, yeah. Uh, I'm, I'm
gonna do that right now.

-Okay then.
-Okay.

Well, it was nice
to see you, Hank.

Uh, you too, Billie.

-[chuckles] All right then.
-You too.

Bye.

[clerk] Welcome to Hotel
Dunsmuir, ma'am.

You're standing in
the tallest building

in Siskiyou County.

[suspenseful music]

We've been here since 1904.

Tallest building?
It's only one story high.

In fact, I was gonna ask why
you even call it a hotel.

As I said, this is the tallest
building in the county.

Thing is, these floors go down.

-[intense music]
-[whooshing]

Is that right?

[soft orchestral music]

Well, I need a room.

We'll get you checked
in, no time flat.

[bell ringing]

[suspenseful music]

This is Luke.

Hey, buddy, uh, wasn't
sure if you'd answer.

It's Hank. Uh,
long time, no time.

Uh, listen, where are you?

Hank.

I'm in the middle of something
right now. I can't talk.

Yeah, I have to interject, Luke.

Uh, are you in the states?

Am I in the states?

Yeah, Hank. I'm in the states.

The hell kind of
question's that?

So listen, uh, just coming back

from a fishing trip
in Dunsmuir, uh,

just ran into your
little lady back there,

as a matter of fact.

My little lady?

Yeah, Billie.

Mm. You seen Billie?

Who is that, Luke?
Who saw Billie?

Well that's right. I saw
her at the Hotel Dunsmuir.

She said you were on
a trip south of the border.

Hank, you listen
up real good. Okay?

Billie ran away.
She's not right in the head.

-She took my money.
-Trouble in paradise, eh?

Hank, Hank, Hank.

I need you to help
me out on this. Okay?

The, the two of us, we
were in country together.

That means something, right?

Now I know it wasn't the
same unit and all that,

but it still means something.

Is that Hank? Can I say hi?

Will you shut the hell up?

[traffic whirring]

Hank, I need you
to turn around.

You get back to that
hotel. You keep her there.

You keep her there
till I get there. Okay?

Geez, I don't know, Luke.

She took my money.
You can secure it.

Y-You're right there already.

I'll be indebted to you. Okay?

I owe you. Is that
what you wanna hear?

Corky's gonna lend me as Honda.

I'll be there in three
hours. You wait for me.

Uh, how much money
did you say she took?

You're right, but you just,
you startled me. Okay?

I'm sorry. Sometimes I
play my music too loud.

I didn't hear you.

My apologies. Oh, I'll
leave you alone now.

[soft dramatic music]

Wait, wait. Hey.

Hey look, come
back here. Okay?

Can you come back
here? Look, I'm sorry.

I'm not, I'm only gonna
be in here another minute.

I'm heading up north. I just...

I play my music too loud
too sometimes. Okay?

[soft dramatic music continues]

was listening to.

You can see if you like it.

North.

Yeah. I'm heading north.

met and everything,

but, but my shift is over after
I'm done cleaning this room,

and I'm just kind of
wondering if you would,

would possibly be able
to, uh, like give me ride?

I, I'm not going to Ashland.

You're not? Honey,
where are you going?

[breathes heavily]
I don't even know why

I said that, I'm, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to confuse you.

[train screeching]

Look, are you going
to Ashland or not?

I'm your damn driver,
I kind of need to know.

Yeah. Ashland.

I'll go anywhere.
Ashland's fine.

Ruby, in case you
haven't figured out,

I'm going through some
real heavy right now, okay?

I agreed to give you
a ride 'cause you seem

like a nice girl, but

you can't fuck around
with me right now.

Sugar, this is a one-way
train and I sure as hell

ain't taking you back.

-[soft dramatic music]
-I'm not going back.

He ties me up when
I don't behave.

Jesus. Who does that to you?

My boyfriend,

or my ex-boyfriend
back in Dunsmuir.

I'm his prisoner.

[train shrieking]

I saw an opportunity to
get out of there with you,

so I took it,

but I'm, uh, I'm going forward.

I'm not going back.

[train shrieking]

[Ruby cries]

Damn, girl, we got
a lot in common.

[engine revving]

[wind whistling]

You got a place to go?

[soft dramatic music]

I'm a survivor.

I'll get back on
my feet. Always do.

[sighs] Okay, Ruby.
I gotta tell you something.

I'm on the run too. Okay?

[scoffs] How about that?

We both on the lam. [chuckles]

[engine revving]

[tires screeching]

My grandma, Maddy,

she's offered to take me in.

She's got a big
place. Lots of room.

And I love her to death.

She's two days away from here,

and I'm gonna take you with me.

[cash crinkling]

Hey, can I ask you something?

[Billie sighs]

Did you ever see anything

at that hotel you worked at?

I've seen lots of things.

No, I mean anything strange,

or unusual?

What did you see?

Okay, I'm just gonna say this.

Last night in my
room, I saw man.

And he was wearing
the same thing as you.

Oh.

You saw The Maid.

The Maid?

Does your phone have internet?

[creepy music]

[ghost dinging]

"The once thriving
Gold Rush mountain town

of Dunsmuir, California
has been a hotbed

for paranormal
sightings for decades.

In particular, the town's
historic railroad hotel

has been a host to
countless encounters

with the entity
known as "The Maid".

In the mid-80's, a
traveler at the hotel

named Burt Pike murdered a maid
who was servicing his room.

The police were called
after neighboring guests

heard screams.

Pike attempted to leave
the hotel unnoticed

by putting on his
victim's outfit,

but was spotted and
chased by police

to the subterranean basement
where he died by gunfire

after a standoff."

Whoa.

"Investigators later
found 13 female bodies

buried in the backyard of Pike's
home in Tennessee." [gasps]

[suspenseful music]

There's video footage
on here of the hotel.

-[intense music]
-[Billie gasping]

So there you have it.

That's crazy.

Ruby, I gotta tell
you something.

Hell, I'm just gonna say it.

The day I checked into
the hotel, I ran into

an old friend of Luke's.

And then the next day,
that morning you and I met,

in my room, under the bed,

I saw his body.

[Billie grunting]

His, his body?

-Yes.
-Okay, so let me

get this straight.

The day you and I met,
there's a dead man's body

under your bed and you're just
waiting till now to tell me?

Ruby, you have no idea
what I've been through.

Did you kill him?

Your husband's psycho
friend, did you kill him?

Because if you did, I don't
wanna have anything to do

with somebody like you.

[soft dramatic music]

[gasps] What the hell?

Ruby? What, what the hell?

Is that what you
think of me? Huh?

That I'm some white trash girl
on the road killing people?

That's not what I said.

I think that's what
you meant to say!

You got some nerve, girl!

I took pity on you!

Got your ass outta Dunsmuir
away from your own psychopath!

I invited you under
the roof of my grandma.

And you got the
sauce to judge me?

I'm not judging you.

Well what the hell
are you doing then?

[soft dramatic music continues]

I am grateful for you

bringing me along with you.

I am.

Well shit.

I'm grateful for you too. Okay?

We've been driving all day.

Let's get some food
and roof over our head.

It's been a trying time

if I'm gonna be honest with you.

Jesus, just one
thing after another,

I'm not in the best mental
condition right now.

-[wind whistling]

I dreamt of you last night.

I was sleepwalking.

And when I opened the door,

there you were,
sleepwalking too.

And then you
followed me to the...

[traffic whirring]

To the bathroom mirror.

We both looked at each
other in the reflection.

And then The Maid
appeared right behind us.

[traffic whirring]

Okay, seriously. What the fuck?

I can't explain it.

-[wind whistling]

Ruby, I gotta tell
you something.

I've been seeing
things my whole life.

I got that, that E.S.P.

extra sensory perception.

You got that too?

I don't think so.

There should be a

Hey, are those my

Uh, I'm sorry, I just,
