Girl in the Woods (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

- Deep in the woods,
there lies a secret door,

and behind it, nightmares.

No!

Real nightmares.

I belong to a colony
that has sworn for centuries

to guard this door
and to protect our world

from the horrors
that lie behind it.

[banging on door]

It is my duty,
and I cannot fail.

[banging continues]
[breathing heavily]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.



I'm sorry!

They get the concept.

Like, I need to be famous fast

so I don't have to get a job
selling diapers and Vaseline.

- Unrealistic.

Robbery is far too interesting

- Bro, you're about to be on TV.

Stop pretending
that's not interesting.

- Not the kind of interest
that I want.

- Maybe your parents would stop

putting everyone
out of a job, then.

- I will murder you,

like, actually.

- Look, all I'm saying is,

if I'm gonna
stare into the void all day,

I might as well get paid for it.

- Ooh, ow.

- Make some rent
for when we graduate

and can get
the fuck out of here.

- [sighs] But then I won't

get to stare

You ready to get on camera?

Hold up your sign, baby.

That deserves a chocolate.

[chuckles]

- There he is.

[indistinct chatter]

- Would you like to take
another four hours?

We can wait.

Why the earring?

- Why the dye job?

- Women suffer enough
for the vanities.

Now the boys want in, too?

- I just wanted to pizzaz you
on your big day.

- [scoffs] Get beside your dad.

You're distracting.
Seriously.

- I'm here at the home
of Victoria Frisk...

Lawyer behind
the high-profile suit

against West Pine Nickel...

As she celebrates the closure
of one of the mine's tunnels.

- Gallery eight was dumping
acid runoff

right into our drinking water.

I can't say I'll miss that.

But our work isn't over.

So long as WPN operates,
we tempt fate.

[voice fades slightly]
We're inviting a blight

onto our town...

One that will drive our children

to sickness and death.

History is defined
by those who act

in the face
of intense opposition

simply because
they know it's right.

- Calm mind, steady hand.

Calm mind, steady hand.

Excuse me, sir.

Do you know where I might find

Look at the schedule.

Not sure if Disciples, like,
bathe or whatever,

Red's hot, blue's cold.

Are you okay figuring it out?

The Disciples?

We don't hear much
about you guys.

I mean, kids tell stories,
but kids also chug cough syrup.

So...

Just curious why y'all live
out in the woods like that.

- It's to protect you...

so you don't have to know

Sexy werewolves?
