Cold Blows the Wind (2024) Movie Script

1
(eerie atmospheric music)
Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently falls the rain
I never had but one true love
And in greenwood he lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any a young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For 12 months and a day
And when 12 months
and a day had passed
The ghost did rise and speak
"Why do you sit all on my grave
And will not let me sleep"
(suspenseful soundtrack music)
(crickets chirping)
(doors clapping)
(Dean sighing)
(trunk clattering)
- Help.
- Oh my God, Dean.
You said you checked his pulse.
- I did, I,
ugh, fuck, I mean I,
I thought I did.
- Oh my God,
we gotta get him inside.
- Tasha, (sighs) just-
- If he's not dead, we have to help him.
- Let me, let me think, all right?
Give me a minute.
- What is there to think about?
We need to get him out of the trunk.
(crickets chirping)
We can't leave him in there.
(crickets chirping)
(trunk clacking)
- Can you walk?
- (mutters) No, I can't feel anything.
(Dean sighing)
(jogger wincing)
- We're gonna have to help him.
All right, all right, careful.
(gravel crunching)
We got him.
Go that way a little bit.
- [Tasha] Okay.
- All right.
(door clacking)
All right, come on.
(door creaking)
Inside.
(body screeching)
Come on.
(shoes clattering)
Shit.
- Get him.
- I got his legs.
- Okay.
- Okay, his leg is definitely broken.
All right.
(jogger wincing)
Here we go.
- Got right?
- Yep.
- Oh.
(jogger wincing)
Oh sorry, sorry, sorry.
(Dean grunting)

(ominous atmospheric music)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(jogger wincing)
Hey, water?
(jogger wincing)
Water.
(jogger panting)
What?
- Nothing.
(jogger panting)
- You need more?
- No thank you.
(jogger wincing and panting)
- Tasha.
(jogger wincing and panting)
- We'll be right back, okay?
(jogger wincing and panting)
I'm gonna get the food outta the car,
he's probably starving.
- You know what we have to do.
- Yeah, take him to the hospital.
- That's not what I'm talking about.
(crickets chirping)
- You can't be serious.
- What's the difference?
We already thought he was-
- But he's not, that's the difference.
- If we take him to the hospital,
they're gonna ask him questions.
- He needs medical attention.
- The first thing that they're
gonna do when we get there
is ask him what happened,
and if he tells them, we go to prison.
- What if he doesn't tell them?
- You gonna make him pinky promise?
- Don't be an asshole.
- Right now, only you, me
and him know what happened.
If he leaves here, more people
will find out. Guaranteed.
- You realize what you're talking about?
- I know. I know.
- Doing it on accident, it's one thing.
Doing it on purpose?
- This is not something I want to do.
- What if he doesn't remember?
(crickets chirping)
- Don't-
- No, no, seriously. Seriously.
What if he thinks we found him
and we're nursing him back to health?
- We cannot deal in hypotheticals.
- Okay.
He hasn't said anything.
We switched cars.
There's a chance he doesn't know.
(crickets chirping)
I'm gonna get the food outta the car.
Let's just wait.
(crickets chirping)
- Wait?
(crickets chirping)
- For him to give us a sign,
anything that says he knows it was us,
better yet, doesn't.
If he doesn't know it was
us, we tell him we found him
and we brought him here.
(crickets chirping)
- And what if he gives us a
sign that he knows it was us?
(crickets chirping)
- Then we do your plan.
But please, just give it some time, okay?
No rash decisions.
- Fine.
(suspenseful atmospheric music)
(jogger wincing)
Shit, shit, shit.
- No, no, no, no, no.
(shoes clattering)
What are you doing?
We're trying to help you.
(jogger wailing)
- Please, please.
(jogger groaning)
Please, I need a doctor.
I can't feel anything.
I'm gonna die.
- Please just relax, we're gonna help you.
- [Jogger] You gotta help me.
- We're trying. We're trying to help you.
- I won't say anything.
(ominous atmospheric music)
I won't tell anybody, I swear.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- [Dean] Say anything about what?
- [Jogger] (coughs) What happened.
(gasping) The car.
Just take me to a hospital.
- What are you talking about?
- [Jogger] You hit me with your car
and then you brought me here.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Dean.
- No, no, no, no.

Son of a bitch.
(Dean panting)
Okay.
Shit, shit.
(crickets chirping)
Ugh, fuck.
(dark atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
(raven cawing)
(gravel crunching)
(door clacking)
(Dean sighing)
(shovel clattering)
- We should bury the body.
- If we let this sit
here, it's gonna stain.
Your parents might have
some questions about that.
(Dean sighing)
- There's some buckets out
back, I'll go grab 'em.
I wish you would've told me before
so I don't have to make
another trip, but it's fine.
(shovels clattering)
- I didn't.
(door creaking)
(door banging)
(Tasha sighing)
(Tasha groaning)

(gravel crunching)

(blood squawking)
(door banging)
(Dean sighing)
(bucket clattering)
- Can you hand me that?
He was married.
- Yeah,
I noticed.
- Why didn't you say something?
- Would it have mattered?
- Maybe.
Maybe not, huh?
(Dean snuffling)
Think he had any kids?
- I'm trying not to think about it.
- Did he have a wallet on him? (groans)
- I didn't check.
- Okay, we gotta. We gotta
check before we bury him.
- I'll let you handle that.
- You're coming with me to bury him.
- Never said I wasn't.
- All right, just making sure.
You know we're in this together now.
- I know.
- This only works if we have
each other's backs, you know?
- Yeah,
got it.
- You sure?
(crickets chirping)
- I said I got it.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(shovels clattering)
(raven cawing)
(Dean panting)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(raven cawing)
(wheelbarrow clattering)
(Dean panting)
- Yeah, this'll work.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(shovel screeching)
(Dean exhaling)
(Tasha sighing)
(crickets chirping)
- You really feel
like this is the best
way to handle things?
- [Dean] I don't think
there is a best way.
I think this is the only way.
Besides,
(ominous atmospheric music)
even if it wasn't the best way,
(ominous atmospheric music)
pretty much committed now.
(eerie atmospheric music)
- He was asking us for help.
- [Dean] He was in pain.
(Tasha scoffing)
(mutters) We, we put
him out of his misery.
- Is that really what you're
telling yourself right now?
- What are you telling yourself?
- That this has been
the worst birthday ever.
(crickets chirping)
- Can't argue with you there.
(shovel clattering)
(Dean sighing)
(shovels clattering)
- [Observer] Mm, hmm, hmm,
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Mm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Mm, hmm.
- (sighs) There's something
I never thought I'd do.
- A night of firsts.
(crickets chirping)
(owl hooting)
- Promise you'll never
mention what happened tonight.
(crickets chirping)
- Why would I ever bring this up?
- [Dean] I don't know,
a drunken night-
- Really?
Is that what you think?
I'm gonna get drunk some
night and tell everyone
about how we murdered some jogger.
- I murdered him.
(crickets chirping)
- [Tasha] Wait, do you think I would-
- Just swear it.
- I swear I won't blackmail you. Happy?
- Blackmail?
- Isn't that what you're talking about?
- No. Why would you leap to that?
- [Tasha] It's what I. (sighs)
- [Dean] Jesus, start thinking
about blackmailing me.
- Oh my God, I'm not thinking
about blackmailing you.
You're the one that's being all vague.
- How am I being vague?
- [Tasha] I don't know. You're
talking in generalities.
(crickets chirping)
- (sighs) So you're thinking
about blackmailing me.
- [Tasha] God, I'm not. (sighs)
Can we just go?
(crickets chirping)
I don't really wanna have
this conversation right here.
(eerie atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
(crickets chirping)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(wheelbarrow clattering)
Hey.
(crickets chirping)
I would never blackmail you.
(crickets chirping)
- I know.
(crickets chirping)
- But you realize
we're never gonna escape this, right?
(crickets chirping)
- If we stick together-
- No, it won't be because
we didn't stick together.
(crickets chirping)
It'll be karma or something
cosmic, I don't know.
(crickets chirping)
People like us,
(crickets chirping)
we don't get away with stuff like this.
(crickets chirping)
- What do you mean people like us?
- We're just normal people,
we're not criminals or serial killers.
(crickets chirping)
That's who gets away with this,
it's all they think about.
(crickets chirping)
This isn't us.
(crickets chirping)
- (sighs) Not sure that's exactly
the winning attitude here.
(crickets chirping)
- Hey.
(crickets chirping)
We're in this together.
(crickets chirping)
Until the end.
(crickets chirping)
(pensive atmospheric music)
(shoes thudding)
- You okay? (sighs)
(crickets chirping)
- Here. Take it, please.
Don't give it back until
you've forgiven me.
(crickets chirping)
(Dean groaning)
- Gonna take, I'm gonna take a shower.
(crickets chirping)
And in between the (groans)
blood and the dirt,
I just wanna wash this night off of me.
(crickets chirping)
- It's not my birthday anymore.
(crickets chirping)
- I guess there's that.
(crickets chirping)
(water rattling)
(crickets chirping)
(vegetables crunching)
(crickets chirping)
- Hot water's not working.
- I made sandwiches.
- I was thinking.
We should leave tomorrow.
(sandwich crunching)
- I thought we were gonna
spend a day or two here,
figure out what to do next.
- My parents could show up at any moment.
(crickets chirping)
- Okay, so call them.
Tell 'em we're staying
here for my birthday.
- I think we should hide in plain sight.
- No, we should stay here,
just for a day or two.
- If we stay here, it'll be suspicious.
But if we go back, it'll
be like nothing happened.
- But it did happen.
We need to figure out what we're doing.
- We'll come up with a plan tonight, okay?
And then when we get back,
everything will go back to normal.
(crickets chirping)
(Tasha scoffing)
- It's gonna be that easy for you?
Just return to normal life
like nothing happened?
(crickets chirping)
- Hmm,
(crickets chirping)
it'll take some adjusting.
(crickets chirping)
- Who are you right now?
- I'm the guy trying
to get us out of this.
- You just killed a guy.
And now you're what?
Hanging out, eating a
sandwich, ready to get back
to your workout routine.
- (sighs) You made the sandwiches.
What, what am I supposed
to do? Not eat them?
- This is all coming a
little too easy for you.
- [Dean] Yeah, you know
what? You're right.
I'm, I'm a closet serial killer.
This, stabbing people, burying bodies
is just another Saturday for me.
- Make your jokes.
- [Dean] I'm trying to
get us outta the situation
that you put us in.
(crickets chirping)
(Tasha sighing)
(crockery clattering)
(eerie atmospheric music)
- Honestly?
Unbelievable.
- Oh come. What do you want me to say?
Want me to lie?
- What do I want you to say?
(door banging)
- [Briar] Please.
(door banging)
Please open the door.
Please if you're in there.
Please let me in.
(door banging)
- It doesn't matter.
- [Briar] Help.
Help me.
- Someone needs help.
(door banging)
She needs help.
- [Briar] Please let me in.
- I'm gonna help her.
- [Briar] Please open the door.
(door creaking)
- God, you saved my life.
- What's going on?
- There's a man, he's after me.
- [Tasha] Oh my God.
- Is he following you?
- I don't know.
- What do you mean you don't know?
Is he following you or not?
- Hey, it's okay. You're safe now.
What's your name?
- It's Briar.
- You thirsty, Briar?
You want some water?
- Yeah, please.
- Okay, be right back.
(shoes thudding)
(Briar panting)
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, she can't stay here.
- We help her,
maybe we even things out.
- With who?
- This could be a sign, a
way to rebalance our karma.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(shoes thudding)
(crickets chirping)
(shoes thudding)
- Thank you.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Why is this man after you?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- I don't know, I (sighs)
guess he doesn't like
the person I've become.
- Hey, so you can't stay here tonight.
- Dean.
Ignore him.
- We just got a lot going on right now.
You know, it's not a
really good time for us.
- We'll make sure you're safe.
- Thank you.
- You can,
you can take the water
bottle, if you want,
for the road or whatever.
Yeah, but you can't stay here tonight.
- Briar, can you excuse us?
Dean and I need a moment.
- Is it because of that body
you buried in the woods?
(crickets chirping)
(chuckles) 'Cause if it is,
I promise I won't tell anyone.
(sighs) Just please, please let me stay
just for a little bit.
(crickets chirping)
- You don't know what
you're talking about.
- (chuckles) Oh, but I do.
I saw you bury him.
You guys dug that hole
pretty fast. (chuckles)
Teamwork. (giggles)
- You watched us?
- What do you want from us?
(crickets chirping)
- Safety from the man who's after me.
(crickets chirping)
- The man who wants to kill you.
- Oh, I never said he
wanted to kill me, geez.
- Then what are you saying?
- I'm saying I'm in danger.
(crickets chirping)
You know,
(crickets chirping)
there's something you guys should know
about the woods around here.
- Oh yeah. What's that?
- Dead things
tend to not stay dead.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- (scoffs) The fuck is
that supposed to mean?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- It means you may wanna
check on that body you buried.
- (chuckles) You're lying.
Right, there's no way.
- Well,
there's only one way to find out.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- That's impossible.
- Oh, it's very possible.
In fact, I would even say it's likely.
(eerie atmospheric music)
- I'm gonna go back out there, right?
And you're coming with me.
- Then I'm going too.
- Oh, isn't this exciting?
- No, Tasha, you stay here, okay?
- She goes, I go.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- [Dean] What are you insinuating?
- If you want me to stay here,
then she stays here with me.
- This is getting interesting.
- [Tasha] Your call.
- I'm not leaving you here alone with her.
- The longer we wait, the
further that body gets away.
- Then I guess we're all going.
- No.
(ominous atmospheric music)
You stay here, both of you.
If there really is something out there,
then you're safer in here.
If you harm her-
- Just trying to help.
See, you helped me, I help you.
It's a trade.
- I'll be fine.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- If I get there and I
find out that you're lying,
whoo, I swear to God.
(shoes clacking)
(door creaking)
(door clacking)
- Things seem really
tense between you two.
(crickets chirping)
- It's been a long night.
- Yeah.
Oh, come sit down.
(hand thudding)
(crickets chirping)
Oh, come on. Take a load off.
- What's with the notebook?
- Oh, it's my journal.
Privates, for my eyes only.
(eerie atmospheric music)
- I always thought
about keeping a journal.
- You should. It's therapeutic, trust me.
- Yeah.
After tonight, I may have to start
getting my feelings down on paper.
- Helps to write things.
You know, it's fun too, you know?
You can go back and read it
and see what you're doing
and how you're feeling at the time.
(chuckles) It's cool.
Oh. (sighs)
(ominous atmospheric music)
Feels good to just sit. (chuckles)
- (sighs) I didn't
realize how tired I was.
- Yeah,
murder can be exhausting.
(eerie atmospheric music)
- Excuse me?
(eerie atmospheric music)
- I just assumed.
I mean I saw you bury the guy.
(couch puffing)
(ominous atmospheric music)
Your hair is so pretty.
(ominous atmospheric music)
Wow.
(pensive atmospheric music)
Have things always been this tense
between you and your husband?
(crickets chirping)
- We have our moments,
like any couple.
(crickets chirping)
- Fighting is how you
know you love each other.
(Tasha chuckling)
- If that's the case,
Dean and I are madly in love.
(Briar and Tasha chuckling)
(crickets chirping)
(eerie atmospheric music)
(raven cawing)
(eerie atmospheric music)
(raven cawing)
(eerie atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
(eerie atmospheric music)
(gravel crunching)
- What the fuck?
(ominous atmospheric music)
(blood squawking)
(ominous atmospheric music)
Oh Jesus. (sighs)
All right.
(shovel banging)
(shovel squawking)
(shovel squawking)
(shovel squawking)
(water rattling)
- All yours.
(door clacking)
(door creaking)
- Thank you for doing this.
- Are you sure you wanna
take a bath in cold water?
(door creaking)
(door clacking)
- I just really like water.
It's soothing.
(crickets chirping)
- Right, then I will, um,
leave you to it.
(hands clapping)
(crickets chirping)
- Stay with me.
- Oh,
I don't think that's a good idea.
- I just want someone
to talk to. (chuckles)
(crickets chirping)
Please.
- Okay.
Sure.
(Briar chuckling)
(crickets chirping)
(water clattering)
- What happened to your back?
(water clattering)
- I only wanna talk about nice things.
(crickets chirping)
- The man who's chasing you,
did he do that to you?
(crickets chirping)
- That man is a mean old bastard. (sighs)
But no.
No, he didn't do this to me.
- And who did?
(water clattering)
- Here,
can you get my back?
(crickets chirping)
(water clattering)
- Were you born with these scars?
- I said I only wanna
talk about nice things.
- (exhales) Okay then.
What kinda nice things?
(crickets chirping)
- Love.
(Tasha chuckles)
- All right, let's talk about love.
(crickets chirping)
- I've never been in love.
(crickets chirping)
What's it like?
(crickets chirping)
- If I tell you a secret,
will you tell me a secret?
(crickets chirping)
- (chuckles) Sounds like a fun game.
(Tasha and Briar chuckling)
Will you go first?
- Sure, I'll go.
(crickets chirping)
You asked me if I could
tell you what it's like
to be in love.
(crickets chirping)
I'm not sure I've ever been in love.
(crickets chirping)
(water clattering)
- But you're married.
(crickets chirping)
- I thought I was in love.
(crickets chirping)
I'm not sure that was the case.
(crickets chirping)
- Hmm.
(water clattering)
Okay,
my turn.
(crickets chirping)
You know, the man who's after me,
(Briar sighing)
he locked me in his barn for three weeks.
- What?
(Briar giggling)
- Look at us,
(crickets chirping)
best friends
(water clattering)
forever connected by our
little secrets. (chuckles)
(crickets chirping)
- Briar, if you need help-
- [Briar] That was my secret.
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
Game over.
(crickets chirping)
- Did he abuse you?
(water clattering)
- You can go now.
I'll be out in a second.
- I just wanna help.
- I said fucking go.
(crickets chirping)
(shoes thudding)
You wanna know something?
(crickets chirping)
The hunger is the worst part.
(crickets chirping)
(shovel clattering)
(crickets chirping)
(shovel clattering)
(crickets chirping)
(wind whooshing)
- Thanks for letting
me borrow the clothes.
- They fit okay?
- Mm-hmm.
(crickets chirping)
Sorry I snapped at you.
- Dean and I are leaving in the morning.
You should come with us.
We can take you to a shelter.
(crickets chirping)
(couch screeching)
- That's okay.
- We can't let this guy find you.
- He won't.
- You have somewhere else to go?
- There's a whole world out there.
Lots of places to go.
I could be an explorer.
(chuckles) Wouldn't that be fun?
- That does sound like fun.
- Hey,
you could come with me.
We could be explorers together.
We could go see new places and new things,
do new things,
have adventures.
- I don't think that's
gonna happen, Briar.
I have a husband,
a whole life to get back to.
- But you don't love him.
- I'm not in love with him.
There's a difference.
(crickets chirping)
- I thought we were friends.
- We just met.
- Yeah, but you said
you wanted to help me.
Doesn't that make us friends?
- I was trying to do the right thing,
but you don't want my help.
(crickets chirping)
(Briar chuckles)
(crickets chirping)
- I wanna play a game.
(Tasha sighing)
- I'm a little too tired for games.
- We played your game.
Now you can play mine.
(Tasha exhaling)
- What's the game?
- I ask you a question
and then you get to ask me a question,
okay?
All right, it'll be fun, all right?
I go first.
(crickets chirping)
When you leave here,
(crickets chirping)
how do you know I'm not gonna
tell anyone about the body?
(crickets chirping)
- Who would you tell?
- Uh, uh, uh.
You have to answer my question
before you get to ask a question.
- I guess I can't be sure.
(crickets chirping)
- See?
(crickets chirping)
Now it's your turn.
- Who would you tell?
- The police.
(crickets chirping)
Would you like to play another round?
(crickets chirping)
- Only if I get to ask the first question.
- Sure, go ahead.
(crickets chirping)
- What do I have to do to
make you keep our secret?
(crickets chirping)
(Briar chuckling)
- Kill me.
(eerie atmospheric music)
Now, I get to ask a question.
- I don't think I wanna play anymore.
- You can't quit in the
middle of a round, Tasha.
(ominous atmospheric music)
How would you kill me?
- Briar.
- Briar isn't an answer, Tasha.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- I don't know how I would kill you.
(Briar chuckling)
- Come on,
there's lots of ways to kill someone.
Could use a knife
or could bash my head in.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(chuckles) Bang,
bang, bang.
- Please, stop.
- Bang,
bang,
bang, bang.
- I think it's time for you to go.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- I'm not going anywhere.
- I've asked you nicely.
If you're still here when Dean gets back,
(pensive atmospheric music)
I don't know what he'll do.
- Well, the only way to keep
your secret is to kill me.
So how are you gonna do it, huh?
- I don't want to kill you.
- Aw,
that's so sweet.
(crickets chirping)
But that the only way to keep your secret.
And that is what you and Dean want, right?
Come on,
let me help you.
- No, I.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Come on,
just,
ah,
always wanted to go this
way, it's so intimate.
(ominous atmospheric music)
Now, all you have to do is squeeze.
(ominous atmospheric music)
If you don't do it, Tasha,
I'm gonna tell everyone about the body.
(ominous atmospheric music)
Your friends, your family,
the people you work with,
the police.
(ominous atmospheric music)
You don't want that, do you?
(ominous atmospheric music)
Come on.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(raven cawing)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(shovel rattling)
(crickets chirping)
(door creaking)
- She was gonna expose us.
(Dean gasping)
But don't worry,
I took care of her.
(crickets chirping)
- Define took care of.
- See for yourself.
(crickets chirping)
- You did that?
- She was gonna go to the police,
told me I had to kill her.
(crickets chirping)
- She told you to kill her?
- Begged me to kill her.
I thought you'd be proud.
- Proud?
- I'm committed.
We're committed.
(crickets chirping)
- You did what you had to do.
(crickets chirping)
- And now we're both murderers,
(crickets chirping)
forever linked by our little secrets.
(crickets chirping)
- There's nothing to forgive.
(gravel crunching)
Shit.
- Got her legs, you get her arms, ready?
Okay, and go. Let's go.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
(door knocking)
- Okay. Okay, we're just there.
- Okay, I think-
- Fuck, that imprint, goddamn it.
- [Uncle Stevie] I know
y'all folks are in there.
Don't mean no harm,
just wanna talk.
(door banging)
A couple of questions and uh,
I'll be on my way.
- Who the fuck is that?
- [Uncle Stevie] The other option
is I could tear this
little door clean off.
(crickets chirping)
(door creaking)
- Yeah?
(eerie atmospheric music)
- 'Preciate you folks uh,
inviting me in.
- What can we do for you?
- [Uncle Stevie] Looking for a
young lady
in her 20s, but acts a little bit younger,
calling herself Briar.
- Haven't seen her.
- Would you tell me if you had?
- Calling my wife a liar?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- No, it's not my intention
to come in here and pick
a fight with you folks.
- And yet
here we are.
(Uncle Stevie scoffing)
(crickets chirping)
- 'Haps we should start over.
- Or you could just leave.
(crickets chirping)
- My wife's a little annoyed.
We were in the middle of something.
- Something like what?
- Personal matter.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Oh, I didn't mean to
(ominous atmospheric music)
disturb y'all personal time.
- This was supposed to
be a romantic evening
for the two of us.
- It's her birthday.
- Oh.
Well, happy birthday to ya, Miss.
- Thank you.
(crickets chirping)
- Oh,
no, uh,
balloons,
no, uh,
cake.
That ain't a way you treat a
birthday girl.
- We were getting to the gifts.
(crickets chirping)
- But then you came.
(crickets chirping)
(Uncle Stevie chuckling)
- It seem like I, uh,
monkey wrenched your whole evenin'.
- [Tasha] Mm.
(crickets chirping)
- Apologies.
- That's fine, but you can make your way.
- Bit of a haul to next stop.
(crickets chirping)
Mind if I uh, (clicks)
get the head?
- Yeah, I'd rather you not.
- Won't take but a minute.
- Hmm, still.
(crickets chirping)
- You know, I, uh,
had one of those, uh,
big gulp sodas a bit ago
in case you're wondering which one it is.
- Regardless.
- My husband said no.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Hmm.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Well,
(ominous atmospheric music)
I can always use a bush.
- Hmm.
(Uncle Stevie chuckling)
- 'Fore I go,
if you do see a young lady
calling herself Briar,
yeah, would you do me a favor
and tell her that Uncle
Stevie is looking for her.
(crickets chirping)
- You're her uncle?
- Everybody around here
calls me Uncle Stevie.
(crickets chirping)
Figure 'cause I'm older
than everybody, but I'm
still fun to be around.
(crickets chirping)
Bit of advice,
(ominous atmospheric music)
if you happen to see Briar,
(ominous atmospheric music)
whatever you do,
(ominous atmospheric music)
(chuckles) don't kill her.
(Uncle Stevie chuckling)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(nail rattling)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(Uncle Stevie expectorating)
(door banging)
- He just said whatever
we do, don't kill her.
- Yeah, I, I heard him.
- In case you haven't
been paying attention,
I just fucking killed her.
- Yeah, it's probably not good.
- You got anything useful
you wanna bring to the table?
Now would be the time.
(crickets chirping)
- She was right about the woods.
(crickets chirping)
Things don't stay dead out there.
(Dean sighing)
- Okay, the way things are going,
do I even wanna know specifics?
- The jogger,
I, I went out there and, and,
and, and I don't know how he did it,
but he came outta the,
the thing that we dug
and then he was walking, he was walking.
(Dean sighing)
- But he couldn't walk.
He, he said he couldn't
even feel anything.
- Yeah.
You know what?
Well, he looked right at me,
just, just looked at me.
And then,
and then like stuff
poured out of his mouth.
- He, he threw up?
- It (mutters), it was like black liquid,
it was like thick, like syrup.
(Dean groaning)
I hit him.
I hit him with the
shovel and then, then I,
I cut his head off.
(shovel squawking)
- You cut his head off?
- Yeah, I cut his head off.
I had to cut his head off.
And then, and then I buried him again.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(Dean sighing)
Like he was, he was already decaying,
like, ugh, how is that possible?
How's that possible?
- Do you think it has something to do
with what he just said
about not killing Briar?
- I don't know.
But honestly, we just,
we gotta get rid of that body
and then we gotta get the hell outta here.
Yeah? Okay.
(eerie atmospheric music)
- [Tasha] I keep waiting
for her to open her eyes.
Should cover her face.
- Yeah,
she could crawl outta
there any minute, right?
(Tasha sighing)
- I say we toss her in the trunk,
take her with us,
bury her in a place
where the dead stay dead.
- We already pushed our
luck with that tonight
and it didn't work.
All right, I'm not doing that shit again.
- Okay.
I'm open for suggestions.
(crickets chirping)
- Well, if what we bury out
here doesn't stay buried.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
(wood crunching)
(bags clattering)
(Dean exhaling)
- I don't think I can do this.
- You, you hold it
and I'll, I'll saw it.
(crickets chirping)
(bag rattling)
Didn't I buy you this shirt?
- Are we gonna do this or not?
- Why is she wearing your clothes?
- Long story.
Hurry up before I change
my mind about all this.
(crickets chirping)
- Did you?
- Did I what?
- You know.
(arm rattling)
- Did I fuck her?
- She's wearing your fucking clothes.
- You want my help, you
better start sawing.
(saw crunching)
(saw grinding)
(Dean sighing)
She said that guy abused her,
got the scars to prove it.
- Yeah, you two really got
to know each other, huh?
- This is serious.
He said he kept her locked
up in a barn for three weeks
with no food.
- She would have died.
- It takes at least thirty
days to die of starvation.
- Whoa, I'm sorry, you bury one body,
you're an expert, huh?
Fucking forensic scientist.
- Common knowledge, dipshit.
(Dean sighing)
(Dean snuffling)
- I think we should do this leg, huh?
- You wanna start at the knee?
- No, I was thinking more like the hip,
you know when you like cut a
rotisserie chicken, you know?
Forget it.
(saw crunching)
(saw grinding)
Okay, let's,
let's flip her around.
- Here, I'll her shirt off
so you can see her scars.
That guy really did a number on her.
(crickets chirping)
- How did you see her scars?
- She showed them to me.
(crickets chirping)
- The scars that you can only see when,
when you take her shirt off?
Why were her clothes off, Tasha?
- (sighs) She asked if
she could take a bath.
- And, of course, and
then you got in with her.
- Is that really where
your mind is right now?
- I'm just trying to figure
out why you were getting naked
with some random chick.
- I wasn't getting naked with her.
I filled the tub with water.
She came in and started
taking her clothes off
while I was still in here.
I tried to leave.
- Sure you did.
- She blocked my path.
(crickets chirping)
(Tasha sighing)
(Dean snuffling)
What do you want me to say right now?
- Tell me what happened
after, after the naked chick
blocked your path to freedom.
- She told me about Uncle
Stevie and how he abused her
and then (gasps) I left.
- Yeah, no, for sure,
so you were just,
you two were hanging out naked
talking about your history
of abuse.
- I wasn't naked, asshole.
- Okay then.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(crickets chirping)
Say something.
- You gonna help me flip her over?
- Here, I'll show you.
(bags rattling)
Flip it that way.
Here, I'll show you.
(bag rattling)
- [Dean] Wow. That's brutal.
He must have been some
kinda maniac this guy.
- No, they were here, circles
all over her back.
- I believe you.
- She was covered in them.
We, we talked about it.
They can't just disappear.
- Can, can we just finish
taking her apart please?
(Dean snuffling)
- I don't understand what's happening.
The scars were there.
You have to believe me.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
- Okay, um,
there's a couple bags,
so we'll dig one hole for each bag,
that way, if, for whatever reason,
somebody finds one of the bags,
they'll only find one piece of the puzzle.
Think that makes sense.
- Our fingerprints are
all over those body parts.
(Dean sighing)
We should have worn gloves.
- I understand.
It's a little too late
for that, don't you think?
(Dean sighing)
- I guess as the body decomposes,
our fingerprints will vanish?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh shit, we forgot to grab
the wallet off the jogger.
- Ugh, damn.
- I guess you're right, we're not pros.
- Yeah.
- Okay,
uh, let, let's get this done.
The sooner we get this done,
the sooner we get the
hell outta here, yeah?
(Tasha muttering indistinctly)
What?
Hey, hey.
(shoes thudding)
(vomit clattering)
(ominous atmospheric music)
- [Dean] Every, everything
okay in there, babe?
- I'll be out in a second.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous atmospheric music)
- [Dean] You, you, you want me to come in?
- No. I'm fine.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- [Dean] Sounded like you threw up.
(ominous atmospheric music)
It sounded like a lot.
- I'm fine. Go away.
- [Dean] Okay.
(crickets chirping)
(Tasha panting)
(ominous atmospheric music)
(crickets chirping)
- [Briar] Your hair is so pretty.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Jesus.
- Let's go bury those bag.
(Tasha muttering indistinctly)
- Oh my God.
Baby, you're,
you're burning up.
- No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
- No.
- I'm fine.
- I need to lay you down. Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna lay you down.
There we go.
Get comfortable.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- I was gonna help you.
- I know.
I'm gonna bury the bags,
I'll be right back.
We're gonna get you outta here.
- I really think we should stay,
let things blow over.
(Tasha whooshing)
(Tasha giggling)
- Rest, okay?
I'll be back.
- I'm really hungry.
- Okay,
we'll get you some food.
- Promise?
- (sighs) Promise.

to read someone's journal.
(ominous atmospheric music)
Sneaky sneaky.
- You're not really here.
- Are you sure about that?
(ominous atmospheric music)
I just wanna be friends with you.
(Tasha panting)
(ominous atmospheric music)
I just wanna be friends with you.
(ominous atmospheric music)
Wake up.
(eerie atmospheric music)
(door creaking)
I just wanna be friends with you.
(eerie atmospheric music)
I just wanna be friends with you.
Your hair is so pretty.
- Briar?
- [Briar] I wanna play a game.
- Are you there?
- [Briar] I just wanna
be friends with you.
(ominous atmospheric music)
(Briar whispering indistinctly)
(ominous atmospheric music)
I just wanna be friends with you.
The hunger is the worst part.
(Tasha sobbing)
Wake up.
It's not nice to read someone's journal.
Sneaky sneaky.
Sneaky sneaky.
Sneaky sneaky.
It's not nice to read someone's journal.
It's not nice to read someone's journal.
(startling atmospheric music)
(Tasha panting)
- This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
(Tasha exhaling)
This isn't real.
This is all in your head.
This is all in your head.
(hands clapping)
(Tasha mutters indistinctly)
(Tasha exhaling)
(water rattling)
- Am I still in your head?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- If you're here to kill me-
- Kill you? (chuckles)
We're friends.
I'm here to help you with
your husband problem.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- My husband problem?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- If you still think
you and Dean should stay
(keys clacking)
then you know what you have to do.
(ominous atmospheric music)

- Please, God, no more,
no more graves.
Oh Jesus.

Tasha.
- [Tasha] In here.
- In the bathroom?
- [Tasha] Yep.
(crickets chirping)
- Is everything okay?
- [Tasha] Yep.
- Okay, we gotta go.
- [Tasha] I'm a little busy in here.
- Tasha, there's something out there.
I don't know what it is,
but it is not a good idea
to stick around and find out.
(crickets chirping)
Tasha, did you hear me?
- [Tasha] Yep.
- Okay, we gotta go.
- [Tasha] I'm almost done.
I think you're really gonna love it.
(crickets chirping)
- Love what?
(door creaking)
(Dean coughing)
(ominous atmospheric music)
What the hell?
(ominous atmospheric music)
What happened to your back?
(crickets chirping)
- [Tasha] I don't feel well.
I don't feel like myself.
- Are those the symbols
that your said Briar had?
- What symbols?
- Who did this to you?
- [Briar] Maybe it was
Briar?
She's around here somewhere.
- [Dean] She can't, she can't be here.
- That's what I said. But she is.
- [Dean] Okay.
Okay, we gotta get you
outta here, all right?
- You promised me food.
- I'll get you something on the road.
- [Tasha] I can't travel.
I'm too hungry.
- Have you been listening
to anything that I said?
- [Tasha] You promised.
(Tasha coughing)
Can't you see I'm sick? I need food.
- [Dean] Fine.
(exhales) If I make you something to eat,
do you think that will
make you feel better?
(eerie atmospheric music)
- (exhales) Okay, okay.
You wash up, then you eat
and we leave, okay?
Okay.
It's gonna be cold, okay?
- [Tasha] That's okay.
I just really like water,
it's soothing.
- [Dean] Great.
Okay, get yourself clean.
What the?
- I don't care what Briar says,
you're a good husband.
- What the fuck?

- [Briar] Things seem really
tense between you two.
- Where's yours?
- I'm not hungry.
(crickets chirping)
- Not hungry?
(crickets chirping)
When's the last time you ate?
(crickets chirping)
- I can't remember.
- Ooh,
how mysterious.
- We, we gotta get on the road, okay?
It's not safe here.
(Tasha expectorating)
What are you, what are you doing?
- You're trying to poison me.
- (mutters) Poison you?
- You still blame me.
After everything I've done.
- Tasha-
- I killed Briar for you.
She was my best friend and I killed her
for you,
for us.
- Your, your best friend?
- And now,
here you sit
making sure I eat this poisoned pizza.
- Okay, that's enough,
all right? We're leaving.
- Mm.
(chair groaning)
I know your game.
You kill me,
you'll be the only person left
who knows what happened here tonight.
- What?
I'm trying to save you.
I'm trying to save the both of us.
- By poisoning me? Ha.
(crickets chirping)

Hmm, (moans) hmm.
(door creaking)
Hmm.
Hmm.
Mm.
- What the fuck?
What are you doing?
What are you doing? Stop.
- Told you I was hungry.
- Stop.
- Okay, stop. Stop, stop, stop.
- But I'm so hungry.
- Stop, stop.
Hey, hey,
stop.
- I should have been dry.
- It's okay.
- [Dean] No, no it's not.
I shouldn't have made you drive drunk.
It was your birthday, it was your party.
(Dean panting)
I'm sorry.
- Water under the bridge.
Besides, I use it as a reminder.
- A reminder of what?
- It's a reminder
of why I don't even like you.

(crickets chirping)
(raven cawing)
(crickets chirping)
It's not gonna start without this.
Whoops.
- You're not yourself,
all right? You're sick.
- I need you to do something for me.
- Okay, we can get outta here, all right?
The, we have to call a tow-
- Shut up, Dean.
For once in your life,
just shut the fuck up and listen.
(raven cawing)
All I ask is that you take
this knife and slit my throat.
That's all.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- You want me to kill you?
- Obviously.
- Is this what Briar said?
- She was nicer about it.
(crickets chirping)
Uh, uh, uh, don't.
(knife gashing)
(Dean wincing)
I don't see what the big deal is.
(foot thudding)
I'm the drunk bitch that
ran over the jogger.
Isn't this all my fault?
Sure it was my birthday and selfish Dean
couldn't be the responsible
adult for one night,
one night.
But hey,
I'm giving you an out.
Kill your wife, Dean.
Stop being such a little coward
and kill your wife.
(suspenseful atmospheric music)
(Tasha sighing)
You're really not going to do it are you?
(rousing atmospheric music)
There is a part of me that
really likes watching you crawl.
(Dean wincing)
Just couldn't do this one
thing for me, could you?
(knife gashing)
(Dean groaning)
(rousing soundtrack music)
Now, I have to find
someone else to help me.

That her blood?
- Nope.
(eerie atmospheric music)
(Uncle Stevie expectorating)
(eerie atmospheric music)
What's the rope for?
(crickets chirping)
- [Uncle Stevie] Not what,
who.
(crickets chirping)
- Briar?
(ominous atmospheric music)
That won't be necessary.
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Yeah, I figured you wasn't being
completely truthful with
me back at your cabin.
(crickets chirping)
- I need you to do something for me.
(crickets chirping)
(ominous atmospheric music)
- Sorry,
not gonna do it.
- What if I say please?
Please.
(crickets chirping)
(Tasha sighing)
(clicks) I prefer this, but
(implement clacking)
if you wanna hang me, I
guess that could work.
- There won't be no hanging.
- You gonna tie me up in your barn?
(ominous atmospheric music)
- I did what I had to do.
- I'm gonna ask you one more time.
- If I kill you, that thing
inside you jumps into me.
(ominous atmospheric music)
'Fraid I can't let that happen.
- How noble.
- I'm just not the murderin' type.
- Hmm,
(clicks) it's too bad.

(crickets chirping)
(Dean shivering)
- I'm not gonna kill you.
- [Tasha] Aw,
I don't want you to kill me.
You're dying.
You'd make a shitty
what's the word?
(fingers clicking)
Host.
(crickets chirping)
- We don't have to do this.
(Dean shivering)
- Do what?
- This.
What,
(Dean expectorating)

whatever this is.
Kill me,
have me kill you.
(Dean panting)
I can help you, okay?
I can, I can fix this.
(Tasha laughing)
- You've been trying to
fix things all night.
(crickets chirping)
Look at us,
(crickets chirping)
do we look fixed to you?
(crickets chirping)
- Were in this together.
(Dean panting)
Okay, we,
(Dean panting)
till the end, that's,
that's what you said.
Those are your words, not mine.
(crickets chirping)
- Oh, Dean,
for you,
(crickets chirping)
this is the end.
(crickets chirping)
(Dean shivering)
- [Dean] Wait, wait,
stop.

(ominous soundtrack music)
Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently falls the rain
(eerie atmospheric music)
I only had but one true love
And in greenwood he lies slain
I'll do as much
For my true love
As any a young girl may
I'll sit and dance all on his grave
For 12 months and a day
And when 12 months
and a day had passed
The ghost did rise and speak
"Why do you sit all on my grave
And will not let me sleep"
(suspenseful atmospheric music)
(hand thudding)
Hello.
(hand thudding)
Hello, can anyone help me?
(hand thudding)
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
(Tasha panting)
- Are you okay?
- Please,
I need your help.
- What's your name?
(suspenseful atmospheric music)
(raven cawing)
- Briar.
(frightening atmospheric music)
Cold blows the wind to my true love
And gently falls the rain
I never had but one true love
And in greenwood he lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love
As any a young girl may
I'll sit and mourn all on his grave
For 12 months and a day
And when 12 months
and a day had passed
The ghost did rise and speak
"Why do you sit all on my grave
And will not let me sleep"
(frightening atmospheric music)
