Black Mold (2023) Movie Script

Good timing.
We're roughly 10 minutes out.
No, thanks.
What ya got there?
This, my friend, is some high-grade shit
that is guaranteed to make you feel good.
Alleviates headaches,
prevents you from clawing out your dry and itchy eyes,
and allows you to breathe.
It's premium stuff.
They're allergy pills.
Oh my God, that's so boring.
You're boring. Your face is boring.
Your mom is boring.
Do not speak ill of Kathleen in this vehicle.
You're right, I love Kathleen.
Yeah, she's the best.
This is beautiful.
Okay, remember...
30 minutes.
Wait two minutes.
Come back in 15 if I haven't seen you yet.
Don't worry, I got this.
Thank you.
Hey.
Am I wrong in thinking
that a getaway driver is a little much?
I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate it and all,
but we always park at the locations with Dave.
That's because Dave always plays it safe.
Only going to places he gets permission.
I wanted to see something new.
Look, I get it.
Having CJ drive us is a little excessive,
but she helps us stay off the radar.
If there's not a car on the property,
then nobody knows we're here.
Okay.
I get it.
Shall we?
Cat piss and mold.
Smells lovely.
Oh yeah, definitely smells ripe.
I'ma head upstairs.
I'll come with you.
What's the matter?
You okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
You've got to be kidding me.
Tell me that doesn't look like a person standing there.
You seriously just got scared of some clothes.
Shut up.
Isn't this a little bizarre?
What, your irrational fear clothes?
I don't know why they're called irrational fears.
I have to imagine that most people have a reason
to be afraid of whatever it is that scares them.
Even if that fear is foolish, perhaps unwarranted,
something at some point must have happened
to influence it,
thus making it rational, not irrational.
Enlighten me then.
What makes someone afraid of clothes?
Fine.
Scarecrows.
I'm sorry. Did you say... Wait, what?
The... the clothes.
The way that they're hanging reminded me of a scarecrow.
And that's what scares me.
Scarecrows.
You're afraid of scarecrows?
Yes. I am! Okay?
Come on, don't tell me you don't have dumb fear.
Okay.
Oh, I do.
Well, I did when I was a teenager.
That's exactly what I mean.
When I was a kid, I saw this movie on TV
where this dude disguised himself as a scarecrow
to hide from these Southern assholes
who eventually tracked him down and killed him in cold blood.
There was this one close-up of his eyes
underneath the burlap mask, just full of absolute fear
right before they shot him, that truly haunted me,
and I haven't been able
to look at scarecrows the same ever since.
And?
That movie messed me up when I was a kid.
So, back to my original point.
Is it an irrational fear?
Yes, because scarecrows can't really hurt you,
but it stems from a very rational emotion.
It's okay, little boy.
Come on, one more room.
Would you please stop?
All I'm going to say is this, you're afraid of birds,
and I'm afraid of what's supposed to scare them.
We make a good team.
We're going. Let's go.
Go, go, go.
Hey, you don't by any chance have any aspirin,
do you?
Oh, let me check.
-You alright? -Yeah, I'm... I'm okay.
I just get these really intense headaches
when it comes to mold.
I doubled up on some allergy pills,
hoping that it would do the trick.
Clearly, it's not.
I got nothing.
Sorry.
I'll be fine.
Your head's okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
I don't feel anything.
Man, people who don't have allergies
have no idea how nice they have it.
Between clothes and allergies,
how are you ever gonna make it through today?
Oh, I'll be fine.
I'm not worried about them.
It's how I'm going to be able
to survive an entire day with you.
That's the real question.
Oh, don't worry.
I'll play nice.
Mostly.
What's up, nerds?
CJ!
Quick, drive.
Leave Brooke here.
Oh, okay.
You want to play it like that?
CJ? Yeah?
BROOKE Do you have allergies?
I surely do not.
BROOKE Go ahead, Tanner.
Tell her.
TANNER Oh my God.
Tell me what?
Nothing.
TANNER Oh, this is it.
How did you find this one?
Don't worry about it.
I have my ways.
You are incredible.
I know.
Okay, I'll... I'll meet you inside.
I'm gonna shoot this first.
Okay.
Hey.
Watch out for clothes.
Oh, and scarecrows.
And scarecrows with allergies wearing clothes.
And you watch out for redundant jokes.
Oh, no.
It's too late for that.
That's a little creepy.
Don't.
Dude, don't worry.
You don't have to be scared.
There is nothing up here.
Oh, come on.
This is not nothing.
I think I found Jesus.
What was your big fear from childhood?
What's that?
At the last house,
you said you knew what I meant
about how our fears stem from something real.
You never said what yours was, though.
What still haunts you?
Hello?
Brooke?
Hello?
Brooke.
Sorry.
What?
You okay?
Yeah, I...
I just got lost in thought.
CJ's here.
You ready?
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Okay.
I'll meet you downstairs.
Okay.
Here you go.
Brooke?
Thanks.
What you got there?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Yeah, nothing.
Okay.
You regret coming along with us yet?
No, it's been great.
Now how about you two?
Feeling good about everything so far?
Yeah.
For sure.
I mean, the first two houses
were just a warm up as far as I'm concerned.
Oh yeah?
Where are we going now?
Franklin Hill.
Shut the fuck up.
Wait, what's Franklin Hill?
It's this, um...
Well, that's a good question actually.
What is it?
I'll be honest.
I don't even really know.
I've heard a lot of theories over the years,
but I've never actually met anyone who's been there.
To the best of my knowledge, it's got some sort
of government connection to it or something.
Like a training base or testing facility
or something like that.
What I do know is it's been abandoned for decades.
And it's a place I've been wanting
to hit for a while.
This is gonna be fun.
This... this is it.
Guys, this is it. This...
These are the test cells.
If we stay on this road,
Franklin Hill should be just up ahead.
I wanna come back to these.
You wanna come in this one with us?
I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass.
Mmm, someone's scared.
I'm not scared, asshole.
I just don't have the urge
to inhale nasty-ass moldy air like you two weirdos.
Who knows what that crap does to your brain?
You might start seeing shit for all I know.
Did CJ Mueller just say that she doesn't want
to inhale something that might cause hallucinations?
I will end you, Behlman.
Hey.
You sure you don't want to come in with us?
Cause we're gonna need more time at this place.
I am absolutely sure.
Okay.
What do you think?
An hour to start with?
No.
Make it three.
Locked.
Of course.
Hey.
Tanner?
What's up?
So that...
There's more to it.
More to what?
To this, today.
Us being here.
How so?
I'm going to have an exhibit at the Priebe.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
What?
Is this what you were reading about in the car?
And I got a grant.
A grant?
What kind of grant?
A pretty big grant.
Are you serious right now?
Holy shit.
You're serious, aren't you?
You are so fucking serious right now.
I am so happy for you.
-Really? -Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be?
Well, I don't know.
I just...
You've been trying to get into the Priebe for a while
and I've only been in Milwaukee for a year
and here I am,
telling you I'm gonna be featured there.
Dude.
This is not about me.
This is about you.
What kind of dickhead would I be
if I was pissed off
about a friend who found some success?
Whoa, hold on.
Hold on.
I haven't found any success yet.
Uh, yeah, you have.
You got into the Priebe!
That alone is a massive success.
And will you please just accept it,
you talented little asshole.
I guess it is a success, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
And you got a grant.
Pretty big grant.
A pretty big fat fucking grant.
A pretty big, fat fucking grant!
Wooh!
Careful.
Do you think what CJ said had any truth to it?
About what?
About the air in these places, getting to your head,
making you see stuff.
I don't know.
Has it ever happened to you before?
Not that I know of.
Exactly.
There is nothing to worry about.
Fuck.
Shit.
I'm pretty good here.
I think I'm gonna head to the second floor.
You cool with that?
Yeah, sure.
I'll be up there in a minute.
Tanner!
Yo!
I don't know how much you saw,
but there's some really good stuff up here.
Like that.
That's gnarly.
What do you think did that?
I only did a quick look around.
Haven't checked out too much of the floor yet.
You know what?
I kind of wanna play with some double exposure.
Do you think you could help me out?
Shit.
Um, yeah.
We should go.
Go? Why?
Why? Do you not see that?
-So what? -So what?
Come on, think about it.
I'm not gonna run out of here
just because squatter who's probably long gone.
Tanner, we're here.
I need this location.
How much longer till CJ shows up?
Oh my God.
Just shy of two hours.
Oh, come on, it's just a little...
You know what?
Why don't we go check out the test cells?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Get outside, get some fresh air.
Dude, you look rough.
Sorry, but you do.
You know, my head's starting to hurt a little bit.
Come on.
I... I don't know.
What about your show?
Don't worry about that right now.
Come on.
Okay.
Dude, I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize your allergies were so bad.
My eyes are just a little dry.
You've had quite the scares today.
Seriously.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better,
I do have pepper spray in my bag.
Good.
Because I know exactly where I left my knife at home.
Come on, everything's fine.
Hey!
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Hey, man, it's cool.
I'm so sorry, sir.
We did not mean any harm or disrespect.
We don't want any trouble, I promise.
I said, who are you?
And what do you want with me?
Sir, we're simply photographers...
You're with Them, aren't you?
We just came here to photograph the building, that's it.
No, no, no, no, no. We don't know anyone.
-Holy shit! -No!
Go!
Go!
Come on in here!
Come on in here!
Here!
Come on, here!
I knew you bastards would find me!
You're not gonna take me!
-Pepper spray! -What?
Pepper spray, side pocket!
Alright.
No one's gonna take me!
You think I'm afraid?
-Come on! -Got it, got it, got it, got it.
-I've got it. -I'm not afraid anymore!
Come on, what are you waiting for?
-Point and spray, right? -Yes!
I'm sorry! Fuck!
I can't see now!
I can't see!
I can't see!
I can't see!
Open the goddamn door!
No!
Let me in!
Let me in, goddammit!
Please, just leave us alone!
Just stop!
Sir!
Sir, please!
We don't want any trouble!
We just want to leave.
Then why are you after me?
We're not after you!
Bullshit!
We don't even know who you are!
Then what are you doing here?
We just came to shoot the building!
You came here to spy on me!
We're not, I promise you, we're not!
Then you can tell Them where I am!
We don't even know who they are!
Don't give me that shit!
Sir.
Sir, please!
Just listen to me, okay?
We're artists.
We just came here to photograph the building.
That's it.
We didn't even know you were here.
I swear!
And I'm supposed to believe that?
Yes.
Why?
Because I'm telling you the truth!
We...
We don't know who you are, why you're here,
or who's looking for you.
So, you know someone's looking for me!
No!
No, no, no!
That's not what I meant.
Please.
Please just... just hear me out, okay?
We just... we just want to leave.
We mean it, man.
We'll leave, I swear!
Hello?
You mean it?
Yes.
You...
You didn't come here to find me?
No.
And you're just gonna leave?
You have my word.
I promise.
Oh, jeez.
I'm sorry.
Truly.
What a fool I made of myself.
Hey.
That's okay.
And me chasing you into a room.
You must think I'm crazy.
No.
We just got a little scared, that's all.
We didn't expect to see you and you didn't expect to see us.
You got that right.
Do we have an understanding?
Yeah, sure.
Sir?
Could...
Could you just do us a favor, please?
Could you...
Could you just take 10 steps away from the door?
I'll tell you what.
I'll take 15.
That... that'd be great, thanks.
And could you?
Thank you.
You okay with this?
No.
We don't have another choice.
Give me that.
Okay, sir.
I'm...
I'm going to open the door slowly, okay?
And we're just...
we're just gonna walk straight to the stairs.
And... and you'll never ever have to see us again.
If you say so.
No, no, no, no, please!
I remember you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
You're at fault!
No, stop!
There's my little star.
Dad?
Fresh air feels good.
You mind if I sit there?
Dad!
Oh, hey, hey.
Shh, shh, shh, it's okay.
Please don't go away again, dad!
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Please don't leave me.
I'm right here.
I'm right here.
I did this to you.
It's all my fault.
That's not true.
Why would you say such a thing?
Because it is true.
It's on everyone's face when they talk to me.
Even mom's.
They all blame me.
And they're right.
Hey.
Little star, look at me, huh?
Hey.
Can I give you a piece of my mind?
Yeah?
Tanner!
Tanner!
Tanner, Tanner.
Tanner, Tanner.
It's okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
You're okay.
You're alright.
My... my stuff!
What?
Where is it?
I don't know.
Not here, that's all I know.
What the hell is this?
Are you feeling okay?
No.
Not at all.
My head.
Sorry.
That just kind of crept up out of me.
It's okay.
I'm so sorry.
This is all my fault.
This is all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
I must apologize for being so, well, aggressive.
I had to be sure you weren't a threat,
that you aren't with Them.
Hey, man.
Fuck you!
Shut up!
You have to keep your cool if you want to stay alive.
We have to keep our cool.
I appreciate your anger.
I hope you believe me.
I am sorry.
Oh, he appreciates our anger.
Isn't that nice?
Just help me figure out how to get out of here, okay?
Door's not locked.
Just blocked.
You push it hard enough, it'll open.
Because that worked out so well for us last time!
Look,
you have a right to be upset with me.
I understand.
But I'm not gonna harm you, I promise.
My friend's right.
It didn't work out so well for us last time.
And that was wrong of me.
I shouldn't have done that, but I...
I had my reasons.
Now I know.
I swear on my daughters' lives, I will not harm you.
Can we get out that way?
Come on, you believe his bullshit?
We don't have another choice.
That's our only way out.
Come on.
Just be ready, okay?
No, no, no, come on!
Film.
Pictures.
That's what they use.
I'm sorry, I have to just to be safe.
It's a...
It's a misunderstanding.
It's all just a big misunderstanding.
Let's... let's just move past it and stay calm.
I can stay calm.
I'm worried about him.
Me?
I'm not the one who attacked you.
Relax.
I'm so sorry, sir.
We're... we're just a little on edge right now.
But we're okay.
We're all okay.
What's your name?
I don't need to tell you that.
No, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.
Of course not.
Look, we had... we had our friend drop us off
and as soon as she shows up, we'll gladly leave.
Without any problems.
Yeah, okay.
Just stay where you are until then.
Sure.
No.
No?
No.
If we do one for you, you do one for us.
Give us back our gear.
Okay.
You got yourself a deal.
My bag, too.
But I'll hold on to this.
Here.
For your eyes.
It's not great,
but it'll take the edge off the burning.
And you can clean up your face.
Brooke.
Don't.
Don't, no.
When's this ride of yours supposed to arrive?
Do you have a watch?
No.
Sir, do you have a watch?
You don't think that she...
Sir, you didn't hear anyone or see anyone pull up while...
while we were...
After you knocked us out?
No, I didn't.
I didn't see anyone else.
I didn't hear anyone else.
Okay, that's... that's...
That's good.
That means she should be here soon.
Hope she arrives before nightfall.
What's that supposed to mean?
Doesn't mean anything.
Then why did you say it?
Because you're too damn jumpy and hot-headed,
and I don't want to see what you're like
when it gets dark in here.
Need I remind you...
Enough!
She's here.
She's here.
What?
Are you serious?
Yes.
Let's go.
Go.
Go.
Be well, little star.
What... what did you say?
Brooke, come on!
Where is she?
I... I saw her.
I know I did.
I... I saw her.
Then where is she?
Tell me that!
I don't know!
Where is she?
I don't know!
I saw her, okay?
She was... she was right there.
I saw her pull in.
She was...
She was...
Why don't we just leave?
We could walk.
Walk to where?
I don't know.
There's got to be something around.
Do you remember seeing a house or a gas station
or anything before we got here?
No.
I wasn't looking for it, you know?
Yeah, same.
Still, there's got to be something
or some one.
Worst-case scenario,
we walk a few miles and wave down a car.
A few miles?
We're... we're at least 20,
25 miles from any resemblance of a town.
And what about when... when... when CJ comes back?
She should be here soon.
How long are you gonna hold on to that idea?
You don't think she's going to come back?
I just think that we should explore other options.
Especially with...
Him here.
I...
I know this is going to sound crazy,
but I can't believe I'm saying this.
God.
Do... do you think...
Do you think he might be...
He might be what?
No, nothing.
Nothing.
Um, nothing, never mind, never mind.
What?
It's just...
What?
It's just something he said.
I'm just... I'm... I'm reading too much into it.
You think he's a werewolf or something?
Why would you say that?
He made that comment about getting out of here
by nightfall, which, not gonna lie,
is kind of weird.
For a split second, I thought, maybe he's a werewolf.
Maybe that's why he's here,
to isolate himself around the full moon,
so he doesn't hurt anyone.
And there's the ripped-up clothes,
and the claw marks I saw.
Then I remembered that I'm an adult
and werewolves aren't real,
so I don't think we have to worry about that.
There isn't a full moon tonight, is there?
No, that's...
That's not what I was talking about.
What is it?
Little star.
Little what?
Did... Did you hear him call me little star?
Here, I thought my werewolf comment was weird.
No, I... I can't say that I did.
Yeah, you...
You were already out of the room by then.
What does little star have to do with anything?
It's what my dad used to...
I... I just have to talk to him.
-Hold on a sec. -What?
You want to talk to him?
-Yeah. -Why?
Because I have to, okay?
Is this about your exhibit?
Excuse me?
I'm just trying to figure out why you're so eager
to go back up there with him.
And why you're so against leaving with me.
Please get out of my way.
Are you sure?
Yes.
After he attacked us?
No, no.
I just think it's best if we both just stay down here
and... and...
And that's what you think!
Tanner.
Fine.
Do what you gotta do.
Just be safe.
Fine.
It's okay.
Your ride didn't show up, huh?
No, it didn't.
Your friend doesn't like me all that much, does he?
Don't mind him.
Yeah, sure.
Did you...
When I left...
You... you mentioned your daughters before?
What about my girls?
I didn't mean to. I...
What about my girls?
I'm so sorry.
I mean no offense.
I... I just...
I'm sorry.
I... I have a sister, Phoebe.
Phoebe.
She's four years younger than me.
My daughters are four years apart.
Really?
Really.
Where... where are they now?
I assume with their mother.
What do you mean you assume?
You don't know where they are?
Sometimes in life you get dealt a hand
you don't know how to play.
Sometimes someone gets an idea in their brain.
Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
An idea on its own can be more than enough
to make it seem real.
Things happen.
Relationships change.
People drift apart.
That's life.
But your daughters...
You think I don't want to be there for them?
You think I want them to grow up
without their father in their life?
I had to get away for their own well-being.
Why?
Because of Them!
What They threatened to do.
Who's Them?
You think if I knew exactly who They were,
I wouldn't put a stop to it?
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't put a stop to it myself.
A stop to what?
You don't get it.
You're right, I don't.
I don't understand how a father can just walk away
from his family...
What's with all the questions, huh?
I thought you were a photographer.
Am I interesting to you?
Is that it?
No, it's... it's not that.
It's just...
You remind me...
Enough about me.
What about you?
Where's your sister now?
I don't really know.
We...
We kind of drifted apart.
You see?
You know how it is.
You ever wonder how your father feels about his daughters?
I'm not waiting around anymore.
What do you mean?
It's getting late and the sun is going down.
If CJ would have come, she would have been here by now.
And what do you think we should do?
Walk?
I'm gonna go check out those test cells
or whatever they are.
Tanner, what are you hoping to find?
I don't know.
It's better than sitting around here with this guy.
Are you feeling alright?
No, I'm not.
Do you want my headlamp?
No, I'm fine.
Are you coming?
Suit yourself.
How appropriate.
What the hell was that?
I'm not in the mood!
Aw, he's not in the mood.
CJ?
Yes, sir.
Your chariot awaits.
Dude, fuck you!
Where the hell have you been?
I lost track of time.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, my ass.
Where are you?
Let's get the hell out of here.
Come check this out!
No, I want to go home.
We will.
Just give me two minutes.
CJ, can we please just...
I've been killing time for you and Brooke all day.
You can give me two goddamn minutes.
Okay?
Fine.
Where are you?
Behind you.
You know this is going against my better judgment.
When have you ever gone with your better judgment?
That's true.
Where did you park the car?
It's out back where I dropped you off.
Huh, I didn't see it.
We must have just missed each other.
Come on, it's this way.
Ugh, you don't sound so good.
Oh, really?
You think?
This is bullshit.
Can we just go back now?
You gotta see this.
Don't be a chump.
Don't be a chump.
Real funny, asshole.
Are you coming or what?
Tanner.
Nope, screw this.
Look, I'm done playing around.
Just give me two minutes, okay?
Then we'll leave, I promise.
Look, we got bum-rushed by...
Well, a bum.
And Brooke's been acting real weird about him.
I seriously just think we...
Okay, that's it.
I'm done.
Be cool.
Be cool.
I am seriously losing my mind.
Aww, where are you going?
Aww, did you break your toy?
Meet me at the car, I've had enough of this shit.
Why are you getting all pissy?
Will you please just cut the shit
and...
Cut the shit and what?
Would you look at that.
For once, he has nothing to say.
There, there Tanner.
It's all gonna be okay.
How about we cut the shit leave you to rot!
What?
What is it?
What's going on?
Is someone out there?
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What's going on?
You did this!
You brought Them here!
Back off!
You brought Them right to me.
Stay the fuck away from me!
-Hey, no, no, no. Stop. -I knew it!
I knew you were working with Them.
I don't care who you are, and I don't give a shit about you...
Stop.
-Stop, please! -No. Or them.
I'm so tired of running.
Come on! Bring it! -BROOKE: Stop.
Stop, please!
They want me, they can try.
I'm not going down without a fight.
Stay back! Stay the fuck back!
Enough!
You, back up!
You!
-I was right all along. -Back up! Now!
Don't, don't.
Who's even after you?
I don't know anymore, goddammit!
I don't know.
What the hell are we gonna do?
I don't know, especially now with the rain.
There's still a chance CJ could...
CJ's not showing up, Brooke!
I'm sorry I didn't mean to lash out like that.
No, you're... you're right.
She's not.
Dammit, CJ.
You want to talk about what happened?
What happened when?
When you came barging in, you... you looked terrified.
It was, uh...
Nothing.
Nothing?
Yeah, it was nothing.
Look, it's just this place, and the stress,
and the mold.
Maybe CJ was right about the air
messing with your mind.
How's your head?
If I'm being honest, it kills.
Yeah.
Mine too.
Okay, we just... we just have to ride it out
until the morning when the sun's up,
we walk.
Deal.
Until then?
We just keep our cool.
Come on.
Not in there.
-Why not? -Why not?
Are you kidding me?
Tanner, it's freezing out here.
No.
No, I say we get our asses to the other side
of this building as far away from him as possible.
I don't think he's dangerous.
He sure as hell isn't stable.
And you are?
What is it with him?
Nothing.
It's...
I just want to keep an eye on him.
That way there are no more surprises.
And it's safer.
Right.
Safer.
Yeah, it's safer and warmer.
I'm... I'm not gonna freeze out here all night.
If you want him to be the subject of your show,
just say it.
At least it'll explain why you're acting so weird.
Do whatever you want.
God, I hate this.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
But you better keep him in check.
You better keep yourself in check.
Deal.
At least, we know he's not a werewolf.
What does that mean?
Just pointing out that the moon is up
and he hasn't turned.
It was a joke.
Oh, right.
Come on.
You...
...did this.
He's not waking up!
You did this!
No!
It should have been you.
Little star.
Little star!
It should have been you!
Hello?
You.
I know you.
What are you doing?
Dad?
My little star.
How are you?
I don't...
Are you... are you...
Are you...
Would you get over here already?
I've missed you so much.
I am so sorry, dad.
If it weren't for me, you'd still be here.
I'm so sorry.
Shh, shh.
There, there.
It's okay.
Calm down, I'm here now.
I'm so scared.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I just want to get away from here,
but I don't know how.
And Tanner doesn't trust the man upstairs.
Be careful of him.
What?
What?
Be careful of him
when he gets his first taste of blood.
Who?
You mean, the man upstairs?
What are you talking...
Dad?
Dad?
Oh my God, what is happening?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
CJ?
Hey, CJ!
Hey, wake up.
Come on.
What... what...
What is it?
What's the... what's the matter?
Hey, we have to go now.
Come on, get up!
Hey, hey.
Just talk to me.
Goddammit. Hey, look at me.
I saw CJ.
Oh, you saw CJ?
Right.
Like I'm supposed to believe that again.
Listen to me, she's dead.
What?
CJ is dead.
-Are you... are you sure? -Yes!
Come on.
We have to go.
Where did you see her?
I found her car, my dad led me to it.
Your dad?
Yes, I know, it sounds ridiculous,
but come on.
Yeah, it does.
Brooke, your dad is dead.
I know, but...
He walked out on you and your family
and then came home to shoot himself
in the head over 15 years ago.
But...
No.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean,
but do you hear yourself right now?
I know that you're scared.
I'm scared, too, but we have to...
I'm sorry.
Oh geez, I'm sorry.
Excuse me?
Your friend, the one you were waiting on.
She showed up earlier.
She showed up?
She did.
When?
When?
When you two were out.
Are you serious right now?
And you...
You...
I'm sorry.
No.
You lied to me.
No, no, no, no.
Look, I thought she was with Them.
Shut up!
Shut up!
There is no They or Them or anyone!
Yes, there is!
No, there isn't!
His first taste.
Taste?
What taste?
His first taste of blood.
I... I got confused.
No.
I am confused.
Stay away.
I just want my little girls.
Stay away from me.
I've been away from my little girls
for too long.
You left them.
Instead of protecting them!
Instead of being there for them, for your family!
You just vanished
and left them behind for no good reason.
I had a reason.
What kind of father abandons his daughters, huh?
What kind of father just walks away?
I had to.
They didn't deserve that.
I didn't deserve that.
Little star.
No!
You do not get to call me that and act like everything is okay.
No.
Everything is not okay.
I am not your fucking little star.
No.
You're such a coward.
We're leaving.
I had to.
I had to.
I had to.
Tanner.
Tanner.
He's...
He's turning.
What do you mean he's turning?
No.
Oh God.
Oh God, no.
No.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Oh God.
Tanner.
No.
Oh... oh God.
Oh God, no!
Stop.
Tanner.
You gotta stop him.
Brooke, you gotta stop him.
What's he doing?
Brooke, please.
Brooke, you gotta stop him.
Stop him.
What is he talking about?
Tgnner.
Stop him, Brooke.
No!
What's the matter with him?
Tanner.
Oh God, no!
You gotta stop him, Brooke!
Stop him!
No, no, no, no, no.
No!
Why... why would you do that?
Oh my God.
Why?
What do you mean, why?
He was changing.
He wasn't changing.
Yes, he was.
Yes, he was.
He was changing.
Tell me you saw that.
Tell me you saw what I saw.
I hate to admit how good that felt,
but goddamn.
No.
No please.
That felt real good.
Hey, it's... it's okay.
It's... it's me.
It felt even better than when I killed CJ.
I had... I had to stop him.
But something tells me that you're gonna feel better
than the both of them.
He was going to attack us.
Please.
Please don't kill me.
Brooke, Brooke.
Please don't kill me, Tanner.
Please don't kill me.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I shouldn't have brought us here.
It's okay to cry, little star.
I'm not going to hurt you.
This is going to hurt.
What are you...
What are you doing?
You stupid bitch!
You.
It's all your fault.
Brooke, Brooke, please.
Your dad deserved to die.
Please, please.
Please stop.
I'm surprised it took him so long
to blow his brains out, to tell you the truth.
Please.
Please stop.
Please.
And shut up, bitch!
It should have been me.
