The Truth" by Wonderly)

¶ Don't look at the other side ¶

- [Man On Phone] Hey, it's Greg.



Michelle wants the
changes to the docket.

Can you send them before
you leave for the weekend?

- I already did.

- [Greg On Phone]
Yeah, no, I got those.

But we have new language.

- No, I mean I already
left the office.

- [Greg On Phone] What?

- I'm getting on a ferry.

- [Greg On Phone] You know
it's only two o'clock, right?

- [Man] I gotta go,
I'll see you Tuesday.

- [Greg On Phone]
But what about...

("A Kiss From Your
Lips" by The Flamingos)

¶ A kiss ¶

¶ From your lips ¶

¶ Changed my whole life around ¶

(clearing throat)

- Oh, jeez.

- [Greg Voicemail]
Hey, it's Greg.

Call me back when you get...

Listen, I took
care of the docket

but I'd appreciate it if
you keep me in the loop

when you have
outside commitments.

- Piece of shit.

- Excuse me?

- Oh, no, nothing.

- Do you need anything else?

- Just the check, please.

- [Michelle Voiceover]
Hi Joseph, it's Michelle.

I spoke with Greg.

I went ahead and set
up a feedback session

for next week with
me and HR, okay?

See you Tuesday.

- Boyfriend?

- Work.

- That's too bad.

Where do you work?

- At a law firm.

- I'm gonna guess.

Receptionist?

- Lawyer.

- Wow.

You know,

this is a great place to forget
about troubles like that.

- I'll pay now.

- Where you going so quickly?

- I'm meeting friends.

- [Man] They can wait.

- Oh, no, sorry.

We're headed to a drag show.

(chuckling)

- Work on your
lies, little lawyer.

And friendly tip,

no one goes to the
Meat Rack anymore.

- What?

- I saw you Googling.

I thought a young one
like you would've known.

It's all Grinder now, sweetie.

¶ Gee ¶

¶ Gee ¶

¶ How blessed I am ¶

¶ To have a kiss ¶

¶ From your lips ¶

- Find everything okay?

$78.65.

- Do you have a
changing room by chance?

I forgot to ask before.

- We don't, sorry.

- Okay.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Do you know where
the parties are?

I read online somewhere about...

- Oh, the season hasn't
really started yet, honey.

You're a little early.

- Oh.

- You might check
down at the pavilion.

There's something
going on, they'll know.

(somber beat music)

¶ Give me some sugar, baby ¶

¶ Give me some sugar, baby ¶

¶ Give me some sugar, baby ¶

(door creaking)

- Oh, if you want
it, stop eating now.

(chuckling)

Oh, joke, honey.

(somber piano music)

- [Woman On Phone] Hey, sweetie.

- Hey, you called?

- [Woman On Phone] Oh
yeah, your driver's license

showed up here by mistake.

I'll mail it to you tomorrow.

- Okay, thanks.

- [Woman On Phone]
Are you at work?

- I'm actually outside.

I needed some fresh air.

- [Woman On Phone] Oh,
good for you, honey.

Well, exciting as ever here.

I'm doing a thrilling
load of laundry.

Doing anything fun for
the holiday weekend?

- Not really.

- [Woman On Phone] No dates
or anything like that?

- Mom.

- [Mom On Phone]
Hey, just asking.

A mom can ask.

You know who I was
thinking about recently

was that friend of
yours from school.

Ran into his mom at
parent's weekend.

- Johnathon?

- [Mom On Phone] Yeah,
Johnathon, that's it.

I think he works in
finance or something

because he's always
posting news articles

about this company
he sold to some bank.

First Bank.

I don't know, maybe
it's all Russian bots.

Who can tall what's
real these days?

Well, anyway, he lives
in New York, doesn't he?

- Yeah.

- [Mom On Phone] Well.

- Mom, Johnathon's straight.

- [Mom On Phone] Really?

Gosh, he seems so soft to me.

Maybe he knows people.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to imply
you don't know people.

- It's fine.

- [Mom On Phone] You know,

I was just reading
an article about how

some of the smartest
people are introverts.

- Mom.

- [Mom On Phone] Oh
honey, I'm sorry.

I'll let you get back to work.

Everything there okay?

- It's...

I'm actually thinking
about leaving.

Doing something more
meaningful with my life

with defense or
something, I don't know.

Feel like I haven't found
my place yet, you know?

(alarm buzzing)

Are you there?

- [Mom On Phone] Baby, I'm
so sorry, the dyer beeped.

Can you say that again?

- Nothing, I gotta go,
I'll talk to you later.

- [Mom On Phone] Are you sure?

- Yeah, I love you, bye.

(dramatic music)

- Hey.

- Hi.

- [Man] What's your name?

- Joseph.

- Just Joseph?

Not Joey

or...

- Jo-Jo?
- No.

(chuckling)

(laughing)

- Okay.

How long are you here?

- I don't know.

I might be leaving soon.

I'm not having as much
fun as I thought I would.

- This your first time?

Who're you here with?

Well no fucking wonder, buddy!

You're here by yourself
at the off-season?

Ugh, talk about thirsty.

- Shut up.
(laughing)

- Do you want to?

Show me how thirsty you are.

(laughing)

Have you been to
the Meat Rack yet?

(ominous music)

(distant yelling)

- Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

- I thought I heard...

Nevermind.

- You feeling okay?

- Yeah.

(giggling)

(ominous music)

- Take off your shirt?

Close your eyes.

Relax.

(somber music)

- [Joseph] I feel...

- [Man] Easy, easy.

- I feel...

I feel heavy.

- It's okay.

- Stop.
(man yelling)

Stop.

No.

(groaning)

- [Man] Stay down, faggot!

(groaning)

(ominous music)

(huffing)

(eerie music)

(crunching)

- [Murderer] Hey!

(suspenseful music)

(whimpering)

(huffing)

(footsteps thumping)

(foreboding music)

(gasping)

(eerie music)

- What the fuck?

- Oh my God, Carlos.

- Basic bitch made
me spill my drink.

- [Friend] You've
had enough anyway.

So has he, come on.

(ominous music)

(waves rumbling)

(footsteps crunching)

(crickets chirping)

(groaning)

(breathing heavy)

(door opening)

- He stirs.

- Where am I?

- You're in the Pines,
and I'm Cameron,

the one you can thank.

You were out for awhile there.

You...

You allergic to asprin?

There you go.

(groaning)

(eerie music)

- [Man] Help!

- Hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- I gotta go.
- You're okay.

- I gotta go.
- You're fine.

You're fine.

Hey, hey, it's all right.

(crying)
Okay, all right.

Just...

Take a breath, okay?

(crying)

(somber music)

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay.

(muffled speaking)

(crickets chirping)

- [Cameron] What'd they say?

- Just to go to a
branch when I get back.

- How's the headache?

- You a doctor or something?

- Took a first aid course once.

Is there anyone
else you wanna call?

- Not really.

Anyways, I probably wouldn't
even know their numbers.

They're all in my phone.

Thanks for letting me
borrow yours, by the way.

- No problem.

Do you remember anything else?

- I...

I'm just really tired.

- Well,

you're welcome to
stay here for now.

Spare room you can crash in.

- Thanks.

- No problem.

Just let me know what you need.

- Thank you for everything.

- Oh my God, stop saying
that, it's not the Oscars.

- I'm gonna.

(water sloshing)

(crickets chirping)

(water splashing)

(somber music)

(sighing)

(ominous music)

(wind chimes dinging)

(chimes ringing)

- [Cameron] Joseph!

- [Man] Beyonce?

She's Carly Ray.

- There he is.

How'd you sleep in there?

- Oh, fine.

Thanks for the clothes.

- Oh, Cameron, you
are a classy slut.

- [Cameron] Jealous.

- Joseph,

how're you feeling?

- Joseph, this is
Anabi, he's a physician.

That's Shane, he's an asshole.

- Funny.

- I'd just be happy to take a
look at you later if you like.

- I'm fine, thank you.

I feel fine.

- Do you want some breakfast?

- [Joseph] Sure.

- So you got fucking
drugged and mugged.

- I'm...
- Shane!

- Sorry, what, that's crazy.

- Yeah.

- So,

what brings you to Fire Island?

- Oh, I've never been.

- [Anabi] Weren't missing much.

- He's just mad because
he can't use apps.

- I know how to use them, I
just mourn the way things were.

- You want it back that way?

- [Anabi] I'm just
saying, the '70s, okay...

- None of us were
around in the '70s, so.

- Well, I know that,
but that's not my point.

- What were we missing out on?

Like hiding behind the bushes
to hook up with some dude?

- [Anabi] Hello?

- No offense.

- See, this is why I
can't take you nowhere.

- I didn't go to the woods
to hook up, for the record.

- [Shane] Sure you
didn't, sweetie.

- Are you in the city?

- Yeah.

I went to school there.

I work at a law firm
and I live in Harlem.

- I love Harlem.

- Gentrification much?

- Oh my God, Shane, shut up.

- [Shane] What? It's true.

- No, no, it's true, it's true.

I own it.

It's convenient.

- Mmmm, he owns that.

Come on, woke white boy.

You better lock this down

or you're gonna be
in serious trouble.

So, do you have a boyfriend?

- Don't mind Shane.

He has a dick sucking problem.

- [Anabi] He's just
a tad desperate.

- Says the doctor who offered
to give him a free physical.

- I'm just doing my part
for universal healthcare.

- Ew, ew, ew.

Okay, back to the
question, please.

- No, no boyfriend
but I really want one.

I mean a relationship.

That came out weird.

- No, that just came out.

- Hey, you're one to talk.

- So have you ever
been to "the cock?"

- [Anabi] Oh my God, Shane.

When was the last
time you had sex?

- This is not about
me, this is about him.

- A year.

- Stop it.

I'm more game than that.

- [Anabi] Two years.

- [Shane] Ew.

You're insulting me, trash.

- That congressman
who you met in D.C.

- [Shane] I have no idea
what they're talking about.

- [Anabi] The Republican.

- Yep.

- [Anabi] Oh my God,
you haven't had any sex

since the Republican?

- [Cameron] Aw, are you
masterbating at least?

- [Shane] Stop it, climate
change is affecting everything.

A drought is a drought
is a drought, assholes.

(Anabi laughing)

- So, do you guys rent
this place out every year?

- Does it look like I
can afford this place?

- No, this is all
Cam and Rafael.

- [Anabi] Mmmm, how's
he doing, by the way?

- What?

What happened to Rafael?

- Well he and
Marcus broke it off.

- What?

Shut the front door, when?!

- I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry.

- Was it his boyfriend?

- [Shane] Fiance!

- When did they break up?
- Stop.

Okay, just stop!

(faint beat music)

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

It's just really stressful
right now for him.

For both of them.

And...

He left this
morning anyways, so.

Whatever.

(water sloshing)

(ship horn blowing)

(beat music)

¶ Don't you forget about me ¶

¶ You've been with
me all along ¶

¶ Don't you forget about me ¶

¶ Because I won't forget you ¶

- So, you work in D.C.

- Yeah.

I professionally analyze things.

- That's vague.

Do you like it?

- [Cameron] I used to.

- So why don't you
do something else?

- I'm sorry.

Didn't you say you're a lawyer?

- I like being a lawyer.

I just wanna be
a different kind.

- Oh.

Well la di da for you.

- If you're unhappy you
should change things, right?

- I didn't say I was unhappy.

- But you just said...

- I said I didn't like my job

but I'm very good at it.

That makes me kinda happy.

- Huh.

So what do you analyze?

So shady.
(chuckling)

- I am not.

- Are you military?

CIA?

No.

(laughing)

- State Department.

But I as sort of
in the military.

- Really?

- Translator.

I was stationed in
Germany for awhile.

- Wow.

What do you speak?

- Many tongues.

- Say something.

- What do you want me to say?

- Anything.

- "Anything."

- You're dumb.

- You gotta give
me the language.

- German.

- Ugh, boring.

(speaking German)

"I love to drink
mimosas on the weekend."

(laughing)

- How do I know you're
not bullshitting me?

- You don't.

- Huh.

Spanish?

(speaking Spanish)

I guess that's right.

- Oh, you guess?
(laughing)

- Arabic.

(speaking Arabic)

- It's from "A Thousand
and One Nights."

I had to translate
the texts once.

- My grandparents served.

World War II.

I could never handle it.

- Sure you could.

You're out, right?

- It's not the same.

You know, putting
your life on the line.

- [Cameron] You
are in some places.

- You know what I mean.

- It's still an act of defiance.

And you can't have social
change without acts of defiance.

Whether they're
against a foreign power

or tyranny of the
moral majority.

- Preach.
(chuckling)

I didn't mean.

- Wasn't long ago I
couldn't openly serve.

- Queens, let's go!

We cannot be late to the
preseason pool party.

You want mimosas?

- I'm good.

- Joseph?

- Am I okay to drink?

- Bitch, you don't
need his permission!

You want mosas, you get mosas!

- [Mugger] You
looking for something?

- No.

- Good, because I
wasn't offering.

I hate people sometimes.

Especially here.

(sighing)

What's your name?

Not much of a talker, huh?

- Nope.

(chuckling)

- Look, I just came
over to say hi.

You don't have to
be a dick about it.

- Okay, you've said hi.

You can go now.

- I'll let you get back
to drinking your feelings.

- You can leave now.

(knife clicking)

- Give me your shit.

- Dude, just go.

- I said,

give me your shit,
fucking loser.

(thudding)

(gasping)

You fuck, you broke
my fucking hand!

- [Rafael] It's a sprain.

I can show you a break
if you want, though.

(ominous music)

(eerie music)

(upbeat music)

- Hello.

- Hey!

No semen in the
hot tub, you two!

Sluts.

- Wow, what a great first
party of the season.

- Yeah.

This is why you don't
do Fire Island in April.

- Hey, I told you about the
climate change like 16 times!

- I'm sorry, were you talking?

- Shut up!

- Anyways, anyways,
it's newbie's turn.

Let's hear it.

- Never have I ever

kissed a girl before.

- Come on.
- Boo!

- Stop it, you're
wasting our time.

- People demand
something juicier.

Well, rules are rules,
rules are rules.

Drink up, fellas.

- [Shane] Hurry up so we can
get to the good questions.

- [Man] Shots!

- Yes!

Give me one!

Come on, everybody,
you have to do one!

Oh my God, everyone take one.

- Let's go.

- To swallowing.

To swallowing.

(upbeat techno music)

¶ I'll be in your
dreams tonight, babe ¶

¶ You'll be in my arms ¶

¶ I'll be in your dreams, baby ¶

¶ You'll be in my arms ¶

¶ I'll be in your
dreams tonight, babe ¶

- What can I get for you?

- Two Ballast Points, please.

- Coming right up.

- Thank you.

Hey.

- Hey.

I'm sorry.

- About what?

- Earlier.

If I offended you.

¶ I'll be in your
dreams tonight, babe ¶

- Thank you.

(muffled beat music)

(exciting beat music)

(laughing)

(muffled beat music)

- What're we doing?

- What do you think?

(laughing)

- Shouldn't we lock the door?

- No.

- What if someone...

- Oh my God.

You nervous?

- A little.

(door creaking)

- [Max] Get out!
Get out! Get out!

(laughing)
- Why'd you say that?

Whose idea was it to fucking
go in the bathroom anyway?

- Me? That was you!

- That was you!

- That was you!

- No it wasn't.

I would never do that.

I'm classy.

Watch it, there's no guard
rails, so be careful.

- Where do we go?

Where do we go?

- We go this way.

Let's go.

- I won!

(laughing)

- What, you think I'm gonna
give you a medal or something?

- Yeah.

- Oh yeah?

(moaning)

Okay, come one.

- Wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no.

Right here.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

You know what, let's
just get rid of this.

- Okay, easy tiger.

- Now who's the prude?

(thudding)

(ominous music)

- It was probably just a deer.

They're all over
this fucking place.

(thudding)

Here.

I'll show you.

Huh.

She must be gone.

- She?

Wouldn't that make her
a doe instead of a deer?

- What are you?

Maria Von Trapp?

(giggling)

(somber music)

(moaning)

(huffing)

- No, wait.

Okay.

(moaning)

Hey.

Do you have condoms and stuff?

- Yeah, I have everything.

Give me a sec.

(thudding)

(ominous music)

- Hello?

(groaning)
What the?

(thudding)

(whimpering)

- [Cameron] L?!

- I'm sorry, I thought
he was breaking in.

- Jesus!

- [Joseph] I didn't know.

- Hand me a towel.

- Fucking dead.

- All right.

All right, keep your head
up, keep your head up.

Pinch, pinch, pinch.

Jeez.

Help me get him up.

All right.

- [Joseph] Watch your step.

There's a step, there's
a step right there.

- Okay.

All right.

Watch the white pillows.

Jesus.

L, you gotta hold this
to your nose, all right?

Hey, do you hear me?!

(Rafael groaning)

Would you mind getting a bucket?

- Yeah.

(groaning)

- What the fuck
is wrong with you?

(ominous music)

Hey.

- Sorry.

- Help me flip him on three.

One.

Two.

Three.

Okay.

There's a bucket
next to you, okay?

Okay?

- [Rafael] Yeah.

(sighing)

- I'm so sorry.

- This is not your fault.

He was supposed to go
home on the ferry today.

- Why didn't he?

- I don't...

Listen, I'm just gonna
stay here for awhile,

make sure he's okay.

- Yeah, sure.

(sighing)

- Goodnight, Joseph.

- Goodnight.

(ominous music)

(faucet running)

(footstep thumping)

Morning.

I'm gonna get some
coffee, do you?

Right.

- I didn't think you two
would hit it off so well.

Joseph, meet Rafael.

Rafael, Joseph.

- We met.

- No we haven't.

- Last night.

You might not remember.

Who made the coffee?

- Your boy did.

- I'll get you some.

- No, you don't have to.

- What?

- [Joseph] I didn't know
how you took it, so.

- Oh no, this is great.

I hope you don't miss
your ferry again.

Sorry you missed it last night.

- Mmmm.

Yeah, I haven't decided yet.

- Haven't decided what?

- Might stay a little longer.

- You think that's a good idea?

You know, with all your
work stuff going on.

- Anabi invited us to a
picnic if you wanna join us.

Sorry, I meant to take
your mind off your breakup.

- Yeah, maybe you should.

It might be good for you

to be around other
people, you know?

- You know what?

Thank you.

I'll see if I can make it.

(water trickling)

- You made all this?

- Yeah.

It's my thing.

- I thought Arabic
was your thing.

- I have many things, my child.

(chuckling)

- I found my I.D. last night.

- You did?

I thought the guy who
mugged you took it.

- He did.

I found it on the
floor here last night

when Rafael came in.

- Did he find it somewhere?

- I don't know, I didn't ask.

- Well, it's great
that you got it back.

Be way less of a
hassle for going out.

- Yeah.

I just wonder how
he got it, you know?

It's not something a mugger
would just casually drop.

You know?

- What're you suggesting?

- Nothing.

- You're meeting
him at a weird time

but I'm sure there's
a logical explanation

for how he found it.

- Yeah, sure.

- It seems to me

I owe you an apology.

We got interrupted
last night, I think.

- Yes we did.

- Do you remember
where we left off?

- I think you were going
over to get condoms.

- No.

Condoms and "stuff."

(laughing)

(somber music)

(shower trickling)

(waves crashing)

(Joseph chuckling)

What?

- [Joseph] I can't believe
I kicked him last night.

I've never kicked anyone before.

- [Cameron] And you said
you couldn't be in the army.

- [Joseph] How'd you guys meet?

- Rafael?

We grew up together.

He was the only one who knew.

For the longest.

He helped me come out.

Talked me through my
first relationship

and it's terrible end.

We were scared and young but

we had each other.

You know?

- I wish I had that.

I mean,

I know it's better now but

I only had my mom.

Never really talked about it.

Now she's just obsessed
with me getting married.

(chuckling)

- You don't have like a
best friend or anything?

(somber music)

- If we had met the normal way

would we still have hooked up?

- Your little
insecurity is so cute.

- I'm not insecure.

- [Cameron] Mm-hmm.

- I'm not, I'm just curious.

- Well,

probably not.

Because I don't really
do random hookups.

- I'm not insecure.

I just don't want people
to have power over me

because of it.

- What do you mean?

- I remember a few years
ago at the pride parade,

a bunch of corporate
floats started to appear

and part of me was
relieved that they were

finally pandering to us.

- Yeah, for your
disposable income.

- Still.

I remember a group
starting booing

and chanting, "Bull
shit," or whatever.

They were pissed
they had lost their

half-naked

leather drag queen parade.

I was so pissed at them.

They didn't understand
what this meant.

We wouldn't be
outsiders anymore.

(somber music)

- Acceptance doesn't
end maltreatment though.

- That's not what I'm saying.

- You are.

- No, I'm not.

- If you allow some existential
fear to dictate your life,

it makes you the prey,

whether you're accepted or not.

(sighing)

- You got this all
figured out, don't you?

- Don't get mad.

- I'm not mad.

- You sound mad.

- You just called me weak.

- I was talking
within the context...

- Whatever.

- I would've at least
flirted with you.

- Nice back-peddling.

- Mm-hmm.

Is it working?

- Uh uh.

- Hey.

(laughing)

Oh, you son of a...

(laughing)

- No, no, I have the glass.

(waves sloshing)

(ominous music)

- [Cameron] Hey!

- Fuck.

(eerie music)

(water sloshing)

- You guys want a refill?

- When do you wanna leave?

- As soon as L gets back.

- Oh, he's finally
going to emerge

from his mopey break-up cocoon?

- Relax.

Why, you wanna go put on
a jockstrap just in case?

- At least I have a jock strap.

- I think he just
went to the beach.

(thudding)

- Speak of the devil.

(faint beat music)

- L?

I fucking texted you.

L, if you're gonna be here,
you need to act normal.

- Here's chips and salsa, see?

Normal.

- What're you doing?

Hey, I asked you something.

- I found his stuff.

- [Cameron] Who's stuff?

- Someone was watching us!

- Hey!

Keep your fucking voice down.

What're you talking about?

- Someone was hiding
in the bushes.

I saw them run off and
when I went back just now,

I found this.

- People hook in the
Meat Rack all the time.

How do you know that
belongs to the...

This could belong to anyone.

L, you need to leave.

- Not yet, I have to make sure...

- No, you're acting
like a fucking lunatic!

Going back there
night after night,

you're gonna
incriminate yourself.

- There hasn't been a
crime yet, remember?

- The longer you're here,

the sooner you're
gonna get arrested.

Or both of us.

(knocking)

- [Anabi] You guys ready?

- [Cameron] Yeah, we'll
be out in a minute.

- Why do I feel like I
just walked into a fight?

- Would you mind taking these?

Put them in the bag?

- Sure.

Sorry.

- I'm not leaving
until I find him.

- And what's gonna
happen if you do?

We're leaving tonight,

if I have to drag your drunk
ass out of here myself.

(sighing)

- Yeah, I'm literally
on a salt diet.

Only salt.

- Really?
- It's working.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Oh my God, Cam, are you
ready to go or what?

- Actually, they need
some help in there.

Could make yourself useful?

- Okay, bossy.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Listen,

we have to leave tonight.

I'm sorry.

Work came up and we
have to head back, so,

you should probably.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry.

I really...

- No, it's cool.

- I can give you some
money to cover your ferry,

get you home okay.

- Are you headed
right back to D.C.?

- [Anabi] Let's go, boys!

(somber music)

(ominous music)

- Water damage.

Yeah, it won't turn on.

It was a long shot.

- [Cameron] You ready?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

I'm sorry I snapped
at you earlier.

You know you're the closet
thing I have to family, right?

- Yeah.

- [Rafael] I would never
do anything to hurt you.

- I know.

- We're in this together.

- Yeah.

Coming with us?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'll meet you there.

- Hey,

I could have someone take
a look at that phone for...

- I got it.

Don't worry about it.

(unsettling music)

(waves sloshing)

- And that is how Fire
Island got its name.

It's true.

(laughing)

- I heard that there
used to be a pirate

that inhabited the island

and he made his living
by pillaging booty.

- [Shane] What kind of booty?

- [Tony] He would find a
shallow area in the break

and stick these large wooden
shafts into the ocean floor.

- Oh, my kind of weekend.

- But it's true.

In the pitch dark of night,

he would build these huge
bonfires on the beach

that could be seen
for miles and miles.

Passing ships would see the
fires and think it was an SOS,

so they would run-aground,
not realizing that their ships

were about to get
stuck on those poles.

And so,

when the crews would
make it to shore,

the pirate would
appear out of nowhere

and slaughter them all,
before looting the ships.

- Oh, I keep going
to sleep, oh my God.

- [Tony] To this day,
it's called Fire Island

because of those
fires, a false SOS.

- How is this a ghost story?

- You didn't say "ghost story,"

you said "scary story."

- And it wasn't even
scary, R.L. Stine!

- I like the lesbian
pirates better.

- Hey, Cam?

Cameroon?

I hate to whine but can
you give me some red?

- [Cameron] It's all the
way back at the house.

You can get it yourself.

- You're already up, so.

- [Cameron] So what, that
makes me a little bitch?

- No.

What?

- I can go.

I need to pee anyways.

- [Sam] Awww, see?

Gay Chivalry isn't dead.

Thanks sweetie.

- You know where everything is?

- Yeah.

I can manage without you.

- I'm so bored
with these snacks.

- [Tony] Did I
ever tell you guys

about how the Back
End got its name?

- So,

L came out of his cave, huh?

Did he talk to you
about Marcus at all?

- Not really.

- You know what happened?

(ominous music)

(keys jingling)

- Hey.

Sorry, did I scare you?

- No.

- They need some booze too, so
I thought I'd come help out.

- Okay.

- So, you gonna let me in or?

- Yeah, sorry.

You know,

I feel like we got
off on the wrong foot.

I know you're really
important to Cam

and, again, I'm sorry
about last night.

- Me too.

Did you get your I.D.
back, by the way?

- I did.

Thank you.

(ominous music)

- [Rafael] You okay?

(laughing)

- I thought Marcus
left yesterday.

- He did, why?

- Jean was saying that he
didn't come into work today.

That's kinda weird, right?

- He and L broke up.

- Oh my God, like seriously?

- So I'm guessing
he took the day off.

- Oh, they ended
their engagement here?

During this trip?

Fuck.

That's so weird.

Why wouldn't they
tell any of us?

- [Cameron] I think they
just wanted some privacy.

- [Sam] Well,

I guess that explains
why L's been such a dick.

(laughing)

- Remind me, again, what
you do for a living.

- I'm a lawyer.

- [Rafael] Do you like it?

- I do.

- Criminal law?

- No.

- Do you consider yourself
an honest person, Joseph?

- Lawyer's don't have a
reputation of being honest,

but yes, yes, I do consider
myself an honest person.

Why?

- Because I think
you're lying to me.

I think you're hiding something.

I found this.

Is that yours?

- No.
- No?

Huh.

That's weird because

I found this in there too.

(phone clicking)

(eerie music)

- You didn't see
where L went, did you?

- Maybe he's taking a sand dump.

- I'm serious.

(chuckling)

- I don't know.

(ominous music)

- L!

- What do you want?
- I wanna know

why you turned my best
friend against me.

- I, I, I...

- Stop fucking lying!

You lied about your clothes,
you lied about your phone!

You're a fucking liar!

- I told you everything.
- No, no, no.

This is what's gonna
fucking happen.

You're gonna leave
tonight on the next ferry

and you're gonna
take the first train

back to your lonely little life

and you're never gonna
speak about this again.

What you did,

who you met,

what you saw.

Like a little lying
lawyer that you are.

Because if you do,

I'll know.

I will find you and
I will kill you.

All right, Joseph?

All right?

- All right.

I won't say anything.

- I know you won't.

Cowards never do.

- Is that what you
said about Marcus?

(ominous music)

(groaning)

(gagging)

(coughing)

- Get off him!

L!

Hey, wake up.

Hey!

Joseph.

Oh my God.

(eerie music)

Looks like you're waking
up, it's all right.

Back up, L!

- [Rafael] His eye's open.

- [Cameron] We have to leave!

What the fuck are you gonna do?

(whispering over one another)

- [Rafael] He can't
see what's going on.

Let me fucking deal with this.

(thudding)

(crickets chirping)

(wind chimes dinging)

(door thudding)

(rustling)

(Joseph groaning)

(ominous music)

(eerie music)

- Are you hurt?

I know you're awake.

(huffing)

(pill bottle rattling)

(eerie music)

I'm not a bad person.

I've done some bad
things but I'm not bad.

You have to understand.

Everything that could go
wrong in a person's life

has gone wrong in his.

And then Marcus...

But he's been there for me.

So...

I'm gonna fix this.

I can figure it out.

If I take the duct tape off,
you promise not to yell again?

- Please, Cam, let me go.

- I can't do that.

- Please, you can.

- You're gonna tell.

- I won't, I promise I won't.

I promised I won't.

- He's right, we can't.

- Please.

(crying)

Please.

(crying)

- None of this was
supposed to happen.

Just a snap and I
didn't know what to do.

I had to help.

(Joseph sobbing)

- Wait, now please, no!

(muffle yelling)

(crying)

Let me go.

(ominous music)

(sobbing)

(groaning)

(eerie music)

(grunting)

(groaning)

(huffing)

(somber music)

- Cam?

(thudding)
(splashing)

(bubbling)

Cameron?!

Hey, Cam.

I got you.

Hey, Cam?

(ominous music)

Fuck.

Hang in there, buddy, come on.

Fuck.

(leaves rustling)

(distant birds chirping)

(huffing)

(crying)
