MTV ♪
It was big, right?
Dark fur, about 7 feet tall?
Fangs and claws?
How do we know it's not
still coming after us?
We don't.
We're gonna have to figure
out how to protect ourselves.
Danny!
It's not gonna kill us?
Not if we're part of its pack.
You heard me scream his name.
You didn't scream. You howled.
Nothin'.
I wonder if it's me.
Am I distracting you?
I don't think so.
Maybe it's better without
my voice in your ear.
Let's do this.
Follow the trail.
See what you can hear when you're alone.
You sure?
You know these woods better than me.
- I trust you, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
All the times you've
been able to hear things,
you weren't concentrating.
It just seemed to happen, right?
When you heard a conversation
hundreds of feet away
or you noticed music playing
that no one else could hear.
That tells me it's
something you can't force.
All right?
How do you do something by not doing it?
I suppose it's the difference
between listening and hearing.
So maybe
you need to learn to hear
before you can listen.
Go.
Now 60% contained,
the Arroyo Canyon Fire
has so far burned
more than 15,000 acres.
Hear anything?
Nothing.
Let's go.
It's okay. They're gone.
Did they find the cop?
My dad says he hasn't heard anything.
All Ramsey saw was
the blood on the tree.
They think he was drunk
and probably hurt himself.
But that was days ago.
And no one's found his body.
No one's found any body. The cop's dead.
My brother could've died too
if Everett didn't get to him first.
But why would it go after a little kid?
Because he hit me.
It's like you said. It's protecting us.
Protecting its pack.
I got angry at Danny and grabbed him
and he hit me in the face.
Maybe it was watching.
It picked up on your emotions
like how we picked up
on Everett's anxiety.
Then it definitely killed the cop
for slamming my head against the wall,
because I was pretty
fucking pissed about that.
So now, it doesn't wanna kill us,
just anyone who threatens or hurts us?
What about Connor? He was bitten.
Why isn't he a part of the pack?
Didn't you say his bite was different?
Like it didn't have the same effect?
I think it was his leg.
He had a broken leg, remember?
Meaning what?
He was too weak to be in the pack?
What do you do to a
horse with a broken leg?
You put it down.
Is it him?
It's the only "No Caller ID" I get.
- Don't answer it.
- Why not?
- Garrett said not to.
- Okay.
But the first time he
called, he helped me.
He told me to run, and
it probably saved my life.
What if he's trying to help us again?
Has he ever called you?
Never.
Fuck it.
"He took to flight,
and on the silent plains,
is howling in his
vain attempts to speak.
He raves and rages.
And his greedy jaws,
desiring their accustomed slaughter,
turn against the sheep,
still eager for their blood.
His vesture separates in shaggy hair.
His arms are changed to legs.
And as a wolf, he has
the same gray locks,
the same hard face,
the same bright eyes,
the same ferocious look."
The fuck was that?
Ovid.
The guy on the phone?
No, the Roman poet.
It's the story of Lycaon.
He was the king of Arcadia.
He built a temple to honor Zeus
but tried feeding him human flesh.
Zeus didn't like that,
so he destroyed his
kingdom with lightning bolts
and turned Lycaon into a wolf.
Lycaon as lycanthrope.
He was the first werewolf.
It kills every night.
Okay. Who the fuck are
you and what do you want?
At the moment, I'm your teacher,
so be a good student and learn.
It kills every night, and
now it's killing for you.
And that's our fault?
No.
The wolf kills to
satisfy a predatory drive.
The urge is too powerful to resist.
It hunts, kills, and then hides,
sleeping until the next
night when the moon rises,
and it begins the hunt again.
You may not want to hear this,
but you can stop it.
How?
Blake knows.
It's the only reason
she's still standing here.
Together.
We stop it together.
So it's gonna kill someone tonight.
Are you listening, Everett?
It kills every night.
What is that?
He shared a location.
Whoa. Left, Harlan.
- Turn left.
- I know where I'm going.
Anybody know what we're
doing when we get there?
This was a really bad idea.
Have we had a good one yet?
Guys, if it's picking
up on our emotions,
I kind of feel like we should
try and stay unemotional.
Can you slow the fuck down?
Are we not trying to
save someone's life?
Not if we get arrested, asshole.
This is the kind of
emotion I'm talking about.
- Aah!
- Oh, shit!
- Oh!
- Oh, fuck!
Everett, wait.
- I know you. Lang.
- Yeah.
We're gonna get you out of here, okay?
Where's the driver?
Dr. Salgado.
He was driving? Is he still here?
Still still here.
Still here.
The doctor's still here?
It is still here.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Okay. Come on. Pull.
We've got to get her
out of here, please.
I am pulling.
Aren't you supposed to be really strong?
Aren't you in the gym
every day? Come on. Pull.
I've got her. I've got her.
- Pull! Pull the door open!
- It's stuck.
Guys, hurry up. I
think I heard something.
There's something back there.
- We gotta get out of here.
- Come on.
Fuck. What the fuck?
Holy shit! Holy shit!
What the fuck just happened?
- Someone call the cops.
- Are you crazy?
Stop yelling! Everyone stop!
Somebody needs to call the fucking cops!
- She's dead!
- No fucking shit she's dead, dude.
- No, we can't call the cops.
- Stop it!
Everyone stop!
It kills every night.
For us.
It's killing for us.
How are we supposed to
explain that to the cops?
We can't.
It kills every night.
Everett, stop.
We have to figure out
who it's going after tomorrow night.
We have to stop it from killing.
And we do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow night.
That's the first 3D
printer we ever bought.
Not cheap.
Could you hold this for me?
We started out with one robotics lab.
Now we have three because
the class is so popular.
It's everyone's favorite elective.
My kids took it last year.
It's also an easy A.
Harlan got a D.
Well, personally,
I, you know, was hoping
they'd use these to print food,
you know, like little candies and such.
Robots freak me out.
That's how you knew that
the arsonist was a student.
The incendiary device
was made with these parts.
I could tell they were
fabricated from a 3D printer.
And then when you look closely,
you can see that each
one has a school ID.
Gray Lakes High School.
Seems like the arsonist
would know that too
if he took this class.
Oh, he knew, and probably didn't care.
Jang, remind me.
Which of these kids said
the construction site
was a good place to watch the fire?
Oh, that one.
Cyrus Nix.
They took him for questioning.
Did you know his dad was a firefighter?
His dad died in a fire.
Do they really think
Cyrus is the arsonist?
I mean, he seems so nice.
Everyone seems nice to you, Luna.
Everett, what are we doing here?
Show them.
What, are we supposed to go there now?
No thanks.
I am not watching someone die again.
I think it's meant for tonight.
How do you know?
Because this pin drop
is Tia Patterson's house
and she's still here at school.
I heard someone's having people over.
Maybe it's Tia.
- Like a party?
- No, like a kickback.
Couple friends chilling by the pool.
They're not gonna let
us in, especially me.
Well, if it's Tia,
I know something that can get us in.
What?
I got it. Trust me.
Unlike some people, my
hearing works all the time.
What's that supposed to mean?
Maybe you should go to the gym
and work on that super strength,
'cause I didn't see
shit from you last night.
Harlan, they're learning.
They need to learn faster.
Where are you going?
Shopping.
You have any idea why
she wanted me here?
I don't really feel like
I'm adding much value.
I agree. You add nothing.
We're gonna be good friends.
I can tell.
Sorry to keep you so
late after school, Cyrus,
but we have some important
questions to follow up on.
Do you need to call your parents?
No. And it's just my mom.
You never knew your father, did you?
I realize this is a
difficult subject for you,
but I'd like you to
tell me what you know
about your father's death.
He died fighting a wildfire
right after I was born.
About 17 years ago.
Another fire very much like
the one going on right now.
There were other firefighters
who died alongside your father.
His friends.
I'm asking you about your father
because I'm finding some
interesting connections
between the two fires
despite the fact that
they're almost 20 years apart.
You mean me.
I'm a connection between the two fires.
You
and one or two other students.
Yo.
I thought I knew you.
Come here.
So you just here to buy,
or are you working out?
No, um
I actually gotta be quick.
It's for a party tonight.
Really?
Invite might get you a discount.
Actually, I am gonna work out.
Let's do this in the locker room.
I got cash.
I did a really strong pre-workout.
Oh, fuck me.
- Here. You got it.
- No, I don't got it.
Just keep pushing.
Everett, just help me rerack it.
- You got it.
- Everett, help me.
- I'm gonna let go.
- Don't. Don't let go.
Please don't let go.
I already did.
What?
Holy
Shit.
We need to figure out how
to do this all the time.
Your strength, Blake's speed.
Okay, your hearing.
I tried to do it like you the other day.
I was listening to my parents,
but I couldn't get it to work.
Did you hear anything?
Well, I heard my mom say she hates me.
Brutal.
How did you learn it, anyway?
Like, how did you get good at it?
Well, the first time I did it,
I was, like, 12 and in the woods.
It was actually the one and only time
I saw my real dad.
What did he look like?
Like a wolf, dumbass.
But not like he's not 7 feet tall?
No, like a wolf.
A regular, ordinary-looking wolf.
So how'd you know it was him?
It's hard to explain.
I guess I kind of
just felt a connection.
Like I knew that we were related.
How did your real father go
from a regular wolf to
a 7-foot-tall werewolf?
I don't know.
You know, maybe it has something
to do with the story of Lycaon.
I'm pretty sure that
Zeus didn't come down here
to turn my real dad into a werewolf.
I know, but doesn't it make you wonder?
If there's a way to change
him from a regular wolf
to a monster
Maybe there's a way to change him back.
Back to a wolf.
Or maybe even
Back to a human.
I think we need a better plan.
- We have a plan?
- We talked about a plan.
The plan is to keep anyone
else from getting killed.
How, by being nice to them?
If that's the plan, we
definitely need a better plan.
Whatever we have to do to show
that they're not a threat to us.
We can be nice to them for a few hours.
I can be nice.
Fuck off.
Guys, there's, like, five people here.
This isn't even a kickback.
Don't worry.
I got this.
No, absolutely not.
Where's Tia?
- She's not gonna let you in.
- Yeah, she is.
'Cause I have something that she wants.
What could you possibly have
that any of us here would want?
Fuck yes!
Tia, this was supposed
to be a mellow kickback.
Well, now it's a party.

Shrooms?
- Austin?
- Shit.
There we go.
Nice.
What, are you judging me?
No, I've taken mushrooms before.
Really?
Yeah, more than once.
But, like, in Joshua Tree
with your bestie, right?
In some kind of perfect nature vibe
where you brought coloring
books and organic fruit
and your cool, little bohemian journal
so you'd write poems
about your spirituality?
Oh, shit. Did I get a lot of that right?
No.
You're just an asshole.
You probably shouldn't
look at him like that.
Like what?
Like you wanna kill him.

We aren't gonna take any, are we?
Or we're gonna just take one?
This one's my second.
How are we supposed
to save someone's life
if we're all high?
Oh, one's barely gonna affect me.
It's practically a microdose.
Maybe you should take one.
It'll help you with your anxiety.
Depression, actually.
I mean, I've taken them
before in a clinical setting.
You did shrooms in a doctor's office?
Yeah, psilocybin acts
on the serotonin 5-HT2A receptors
Okay, don't ruin shrooms for me, dude.
Just take one.
He doesn't have to
if he doesn't want to.
Have fun.
The guard's already here.
He can let us in to any level.
Follow me.
The developer stopped
building about three years ago
when they ran out of money.
Now it's just another
strain on the environment.
You would know something about that.
Excuse me?
You used to have some affiliation
with a few radical environmental groups,
if I'm not mistaken.
That was back in my 20s after college,
and I wouldn't call them radical.
And never convicted of arson.
No security cameras.
We can't tell how many times
those kids came up here.
But we know Cyrus was the
one that brought them here.
I didn't mean to sound so
accusatory with Prisha, by the way.
I know you two are close.
Mostly out of habit.
But you do want to know
something, don't you?
I do.
How I found Harlan and Luna.
That's the first part.
And why I found them
during the same wildfire
in which Cyrus' father died.
You're practically doing my job for me.
I can't tell you about Cyrus' father,
but Harlan and Luna were
abandoned in the woods.
No note or any sign of the parents.
Social Services was
overwhelmed at the time,
so I offered to foster
them until there was room.
Two months later, they came back.
Said they found a family,
someone that could potentially adopt.
I told them someone already wanted to.
You.
Me.
Almost like a fairy tale.
Surprised?
Curious.
What made you want to take
on that responsibility?
I ask that question every
time I fight with Harlan.
Same problem with my son.
After a certain age, all
we ever did was fight.
What changed?
He died in a fire.
Oh, hell no. You're not wearing that.
Here. I brought extras just in case.
In case of what?
In case you decided to
wear something like that.
I don't need to wear a slutty bikini
so a bunch of hormonal
boys can stare at me.
It's not slutty.
And it's not for them. It's for you.
So I can stare at myself?
No.
So you can see yourself.

This is what I wanted to show you.
That out there is
your area of expertise,
not mine.
Satellite photo, beginning of the fires.
About an hour after they were started.
These are the origin points.
My theory is the arsonist
set the fire in the woods
and then came back here
to watch them both burn.
But the burn rate's the same.
Both fires started at the same time.
Then one was probably set remotely,
by radio or cell phone.
And then the arsonist came here?
That's what I'm thinking.
No.
The arsonist didn't just
watch the fire from this ledge.
He set it from here, both fires.
Both incendiary devices
set off at the same time.
From here?
The kids' first assignment in
robotics was to build a drone.
So he launched the drones
with the incendiary devices.
Then watched both ignition points go up
at the same time from here.
Right here.
Someone's feeling good.
So good.
Do we know you?
Who's "we"?
I mean, we know of you,
but we don't know anything about you.
What do you wanna know?
- What do you like?
- What do you mean?
Tia likes mushrooms.
I kind of prefer just getting stoned.
Phoebe lives at the bottom
of a bottle of tequila.
Austin likes anything that hammers
down the algorithm in his head.
So what do you like?
I like shrooms.
Do you like 'em with girls or boys?
- Or both?
- I don't like labels.
Everyone likes labels.
That's all people care about these days.
I don't label myself.
You can't not label yourself.
It's impossible.
Saying you don't label yourself
is still labeling yourself.
You're a non-labeler.
That doesn't make sense.
The fact that it
doesn't make sense to you
makes perfect sense.
Labeler.
Cyrus.
Do you have anything to smoke?
Always.

want, say what you will ♪

- You're a dick.
- So are you.
Fuck you.
Fuck me?
Sure.
Did you do that because
you thought I was into him?
I mean, he's objectively one
of the hottest-looking guys
I've ever seen.
Everyone's into him.
I thought you were gonna ask
him if he likes to suck cock.
We should probably find out.
You want to?
Do you?
No.
Yeah, you do.
You know,
you should ask me out sometime.
- Like a date?
- Yeah, like a date.
Do I look like a fuckboy to you?
I don't really date.
Oh, so you're the fuckboy.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah.
I think it's hitting me
harder than I thought.
So what kind of date?
Like a dinner at a restaurant?
Yeah. Yeah, something like that.
Give me your phone.
So I have your number.
I'll call you.
I used to play a little.
Want me to show you something?
- Okay. Right. Yeah.
- It's something like that.
I think I know that one.
Let me give it a shot.
Why are you such an asshole?
It's my default setting.
I blame my parents.
Play something else.
Like what?
Mm, something that makes me think
you're not such an asshole.
Can I borrow your towel?
Yeah. Yeah.
- There's none left.
- Here.
- Oh, this way.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
You were having anxiety again.
I could feel it.
Oh, yeah. I'm
I'm okay now.
What do you usually do
to calm yourself down?
Breath work, yoga.
I have, like, 20 Spotify playlists
with sounds in different frequencies,
so, like, brown noise, pink noise,
binaural beats.
Stuff like that.
What's brown and pink noise?
It's hard to explain.
Do you want do you want to hear it?
Sure.
This one is the pink noise.
Okay, there's no way
that calms you down.
It does.
I think it's giving me anxiety.
Here. Let's try brown noise.
Okay.
This one's better.
Yeah.
Well, that's one good
reason to get a phone, right?
You really want me to have a phone?
It would make things a lot easier, yeah.
Why?
Because
I lie awake and I
I think about you.
And I think to myself
all the things I wanna tell you,
and then I think to myself,
well, I should just text her.
So I pick up my phone,
and then I remember, I can't text her
'cause she doesn't have a phone.
"She"?
- You.
- Me.
So then I think to myself,
well, whatever it is I want to tell her,
whatever's so important,
I'll just tell her tomorrow.
But then I don't.
I don't say anything to her.
"Her" or me?
Both of you.
Everett.
What did you want to tell me?
Just me.
You didn't need a phone to do that.
- You good?
- Yeah.
We're fine.
What's over here?
Elevator, I think.
Open it up.
Sorry. It's gotta be one of these.
Oh, you know, I think this key
is downstairs in the office.
Yeah.
Ramsey, you got that warrant.
You know what? You guys go ahead.
I wanna check things out here.
You sure?
Yeah.
I can take care of myself.
No. No. Nobody invited you.
What are you worried about?
I never said anything,
not one thing, ever.
Chill out, it's totally
fine. You need to calm down.
No, tell them to leave, okay?
I never said anything to her.
I said, get the fuck out of here.
- Nobody invited you.
- We weren't doing anything.
You were ruining my night.
Phoebe, come on. It's just a kickback.
No. Tell her to leave, okay?
I never did anything to her.
I never said anything,
not one thing, ever.
Hey, Harlan. It's Phoebe.
Tell that bitch I just
drove three miles on rims.
She thinks she can slash
my tires and just walk away?
Absolutely not.
I am gonna fucking ruin her.
Fuck you, Harlan.
Okay, yeah.
I thought she slashed
my tires. I was wrong.
- Yo, send that to me.
- Yeah, I'll AirDrop it.
Okay, can you not?
- Got it.
- Austin.
Austin.
What are you doing?
- Oh, this should be good.
- Yep.

- Turn it off now.
- Fucking ruin her ♪
Wait, wait, wait! Hey!
Oh.
Are you kidding me? Again?
Austin.
Shit.
Tia, turn on the pool lights.
I told you, they're broken.
There's something down there!
- Go. Go. Go. Go.
- Get inside. Get inside.
Get inside. Shut the door.
Don't. Get in.
Oh, careful.
Jesus.
Are those
Bodies.
Quite a few of them.
How did they
I mean, who put them down there?
A werewolf.
What?
An incredibly powerful
supernatural predator.
Part human, part wolf.
A werewolf.
We need you to step outside right now.
It's here.
It's on the grounds.
I can bring you back.
Garrett, what did you see?
Something that changes everything.
MTV ♪
It was big, right?
Dark fur, about 7 feet tall?
Fangs and claws?
How do we know it's not
still coming after us?
We don't.
We're gonna have to figure
out how to protect ourselves.
Danny!
It's not gonna kill us?
Not if we're part of its pack.
You heard me scream his name.
You didn't scream. You howled.
Nothin'.
I wonder if it's me.
Am I distracting you?
I don't think so.
Maybe it's better without
my voice in your ear.
Let's do this.
Follow the trail.
See what you can hear when you're alone.
You sure?
You know these woods better than me.
- I trust you, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
All the times you've
been able to hear things,
you weren't concentrating.
It just seemed to happen, right?
When you heard a conversation
hundreds of feet away
or you noticed music playing
that no one else could hear.
That tells me it's
something you can't force.
All right?
How do you do something by not doing it?
I suppose it's the difference
between listening and hearing.
So maybe
you need to learn to hear
before you can listen.
Go.
Now 60% contained,
the Arroyo Canyon Fire
has so far burned
more than 15,000 acres.
Hear anything?
Nothing.
Let's go.
It's okay. They're gone.
Did they find the cop?
My dad says he hasn't heard anything.
All Ramsey saw was
the blood on the tree.
They think he was drunk
and probably hurt himself.
But that was days ago.
And no one's found his body.
No one's found any body. The cop's dead.
My brother could've died too
if Everett didn't get to him first.
But why would it go after a little kid?
Because he hit me.
It's like you said. It's protecting us.
Protecting its pack.
I got angry at Danny and grabbed him
and he hit me in the face.
Maybe it was watching.
It picked up on your emotions
like how we picked up
on Everett's anxiety.
Then it definitely killed the cop
for slamming my head against the wall,
because I was pretty
fucking pissed about that.
So now, it doesn't wanna kill us,
just anyone who threatens or hurts us?
What about Connor? He was bitten.
Why isn't he a part of the pack?
Didn't you say his bite was different?
Like it didn't have the same effect?
I think it was his leg.
He had a broken leg, remember?
Meaning what?
He was too weak to be in the pack?
What do you do to a
horse with a broken leg?
You put it down.
Is it him?
It's the only "No Caller ID" I get.
- Don't answer it.
- Why not?
- Garrett said not to.
- Okay.
But the first time he
called, he helped me.
He told me to run, and
it probably saved my life.
What if he's trying to help us again?
Has he ever called you?
Never.
Fuck it.
"He took to flight,
and on the silent plains,
is howling in his
vain attempts to speak.
He raves and rages.
And his greedy jaws,
desiring their accustomed slaughter,
turn against the sheep,
still eager for their blood.
His vesture separates in shaggy hair.
His arms are changed to legs.
And as a wolf, he has
the same gray locks,
the same hard face,
the same bright eyes,
the same ferocious look."
The fuck was that?
Ovid.
The guy on the phone?
No, the Roman poet.
It's the story of Lycaon.
He was the king of Arcadia.
He built a temple to honor Zeus
but tried feeding him human flesh.
Zeus didn't like that,
so he destroyed his
kingdom with lightning bolts
and turned Lycaon into a wolf.
Lycaon as lycanthrope.
He was the first werewolf.
It kills every night.
Okay. Who the fuck are
you and what do you want?
At the moment, I'm your teacher,
so be a good student and learn.
It kills every night, and
now it's killing for you.
And that's our fault?
No.
The wolf kills to
satisfy a predatory drive.
The urge is too powerful to resist.
It hunts, kills, and then hides,
sleeping until the next
night when the moon rises,
and it begins the hunt again.
You may not want to hear this,
but you can stop it.
How?
Blake knows.
It's the only reason
she's still standing here.
Together.
We stop it together.
So it's gonna kill someone tonight.
Are you listening, Everett?
It kills every night.
What is that?
He shared a location.
Whoa. Left, Harlan.
- Turn left.
- I know where I'm going.
Anybody know what we're
doing when we get there?
This was a really bad idea.
Have we had a good one yet?
Guys, if it's picking
up on our emotions,
I kind of feel like we should
try and stay unemotional.
Can you slow the fuck down?
Are we not trying to
save someone's life?
Not if we get arrested, asshole.
This is the kind of
emotion I'm talking about.
- Aah!
- Oh, shit!
- Oh!
- Oh, fuck!
Everett, wait.
- I know you. Lang.
- Yeah.
We're gonna get you out of here, okay?
Where's the driver?
Dr. Salgado.
He was driving? Is he still here?
Still still here.
Still here.
The doctor's still here?
It is still here.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Okay. Come on. Pull.
We've got to get her
out of here, please.
I am pulling.
Aren't you supposed to be really strong?
Aren't you in the gym
every day? Come on. Pull.
I've got her. I've got her.
- Pull! Pull the door open!
- It's stuck.
Guys, hurry up. I
think I heard something.
There's something back there.
- We gotta get out of here.
- Come on.
Fuck. What the fuck?
Holy shit! Holy shit!
What the fuck just happened?
- Someone call the cops.
- Are you crazy?
Stop yelling! Everyone stop!
Somebody needs to call the fucking cops!
- She's dead!
- No fucking shit she's dead, dude.
- No, we can't call the cops.
- Stop it!
Everyone stop!
It kills every night.
For us.
It's killing for us.
How are we supposed to
explain that to the cops?
We can't.
It kills every night.
Everett, stop.
We have to figure out
who it's going after tomorrow night.
We have to stop it from killing.
And we do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow night.
That's the first 3D
printer we ever bought.
Not cheap.
Could you hold this for me?
We started out with one robotics lab.
Now we have three because
the class is so popular.
It's everyone's favorite elective.
My kids took it last year.
It's also an easy A.
Harlan got a D.
Well, personally,
I, you know, was hoping
they'd use these to print food,
you know, like little candies and such.
Robots freak me out.
That's how you knew that
the arsonist was a student.
The incendiary device
was made with these parts.
I could tell they were
fabricated from a 3D printer.
And then when you look closely,
you can see that each
one has a school ID.
Gray Lakes High School.
Seems like the arsonist
would know that too
if he took this class.
Oh, he knew, and probably didn't care.
Jang, remind me.
Which of these kids said
the construction site
was a good place to watch the fire?
Oh, that one.
Cyrus Nix.
They took him for questioning.
Did you know his dad was a firefighter?
His dad died in a fire.
Do they really think
Cyrus is the arsonist?
I mean, he seems so nice.
Everyone seems nice to you, Luna.
Everett, what are we doing here?
Show them.
What, are we supposed to go there now?
No thanks.
I am not watching someone die again.
I think it's meant for tonight.
How do you know?
Because this pin drop
is Tia Patterson's house
and she's still here at school.
I heard someone's having people over.
Maybe it's Tia.
- Like a party?
- No, like a kickback.
Couple friends chilling by the pool.
They're not gonna let
us in, especially me.
Well, if it's Tia,
I know something that can get us in.
What?
I got it. Trust me.
Unlike some people, my
hearing works all the time.
What's that supposed to mean?
Maybe you should go to the gym
and work on that super strength,
'cause I didn't see
shit from you last night.
Harlan, they're learning.
They need to learn faster.
Where are you going?
Shopping.
You have any idea why
she wanted me here?
I don't really feel like
I'm adding much value.
I agree. You add nothing.
We're gonna be good friends.
I can tell.
Sorry to keep you so
late after school, Cyrus,
but we have some important
questions to follow up on.
Do you need to call your parents?
No. And it's just my mom.
You never knew your father, did you?
I realize this is a
difficult subject for you,
but I'd like you to
tell me what you know
about your father's death.
He died fighting a wildfire
right after I was born.
About 17 years ago.
Another fire very much like
the one going on right now.
There were other firefighters
who died alongside your father.
His friends.
I'm asking you about your father
because I'm finding some
interesting connections
between the two fires
despite the fact that
they're almost 20 years apart.
You mean me.
I'm a connection between the two fires.
You
and one or two other students.
Yo.
I thought I knew you.
Come here.
So you just here to buy,
or are you working out?
No, um
I actually gotta be quick.
It's for a party tonight.
Really?
Invite might get you a discount.
Actually, I am gonna work out.
Let's do this in the locker room.
I got cash.
I did a really strong pre-workout.
Oh, fuck me.
- Here. You got it.
- No, I don't got it.
Just keep pushing.
Everett, just help me rerack it.
- You got it.
- Everett, help me.
- I'm gonna let go.
- Don't. Don't let go.
Please don't let go.
I already did.
What?
Holy
Shit.
We need to figure out how
to do this all the time.
Your strength, Blake's speed.
Okay, your hearing.
I tried to do it like you the other day.
I was listening to my parents,
but I couldn't get it to work.
Did you hear anything?
Well, I heard my mom say she hates me.
Brutal.
How did you learn it, anyway?
Like, how did you get good at it?
Well, the first time I did it,
I was, like, 12 and in the woods.
It was actually the one and only time
I saw my real dad.
What did he look like?
Like a wolf, dumbass.
But not like he's not 7 feet tall?
No, like a wolf.
A regular, ordinary-looking wolf.
So how'd you know it was him?
It's hard to explain.
I guess I kind of
just felt a connection.
Like I knew that we were related.
How did your real father go
from a regular wolf to
a 7-foot-tall werewolf?
I don't know.
You know, maybe it has something
to do with the story of Lycaon.
I'm pretty sure that
Zeus didn't come down here
to turn my real dad into a werewolf.
I know, but doesn't it make you wonder?
If there's a way to change
him from a regular wolf
to a monster
Maybe there's a way to change him back.
Back to a wolf.
Or maybe even
Back to a human.
I think we need a better plan.
- We have a plan?
- We talked about a plan.
The plan is to keep anyone
else from getting killed.
How, by being nice to them?
If that's the plan, we
definitely need a better plan.
Whatever we have to do to show
that they're not a threat to us.
We can be nice to them for a few hours.
I can be nice.
Fuck off.
Guys, there's, like, five people here.
This isn't even a kickback.
Don't worry.
I got this.
No, absolutely not.
Where's Tia?
- She's not gonna let you in.
- Yeah, she is.
'Cause I have something that she wants.
What could you possibly have
that any of us here would want?
Fuck yes!
Tia, this was supposed
to be a mellow kickback.
Well, now it's a party.

with your bestie, right?
In some kind of perfect nature vibe
where you brought coloring
books and organic fruit
and your cool, little bohemian journal
so you'd write poems
about your spirituality?
Oh, shit. Did I get a lot of that right?
No.
You're just an asshole.
You probably shouldn't
look at him like that.
Like what?
Like you wanna kill him.

Oh, one's barely gonna affect me.
It's practically a microdose.
Maybe you should take one.
It'll help you with your anxiety.
Depression, actually.
I mean, I've taken them
before in a clinical setting.
You did shrooms in a doctor's office?
Yeah, psilocybin acts
on the serotonin 5-HT2A receptors
Okay, don't ruin shrooms for me, dude.
Just take one.
He doesn't have to
if he doesn't want to.
Have fun.
The guard's already here.
He can let us in to any level.
Follow me.
The developer stopped
building about three years ago
when they ran out of money.
Now it's just another
strain on the environment.
You would know something about that.
Excuse me?
You used to have some affiliation
with a few radical environmental groups,
if I'm not mistaken.
That was back in my 20s after college,
and I wouldn't call them radical.
And never convicted of arson.
No security cameras.
We can't tell how many times
those kids came up here.
But we know Cyrus was the
one that brought them here.
I didn't mean to sound so
accusatory with Prisha, by the way.
I know you two are close.
Mostly out of habit.
But you do want to know
something, don't you?
I do.
How I found Harlan and Luna.
That's the first part.
And why I found them
during the same wildfire
in which Cyrus' father died.
You're practically doing my job for me.
I can't tell you about Cyrus' father,
but Harlan and Luna were
abandoned in the woods.
No note or any sign of the parents.
Social Services was
overwhelmed at the time,
so I offered to foster
them until there was room.
Two months later, they came back.
Said they found a family,
someone that could potentially adopt.
I told them someone already wanted to.
You.
Me.
Almost like a fairy tale.
Surprised?
Curious.
What made you want to take
on that responsibility?
I ask that question every
time I fight with Harlan.
Same problem with my son.
After a certain age, all
we ever did was fight.
What changed?
He died in a fire.
Oh, hell no. You're not wearing that.
Here. I brought extras just in case.
In case of what?
In case you decided to
wear something like that.
I don't need to wear a slutty bikini
so a bunch of hormonal
boys can stare at me.
It's not slutty.
And it's not for them. It's for you.
So I can stare at myself?
No.
So you can see yourself.

This is what I wanted to show you.
That out there is
your area of expertise,
not mine.
Satellite photo, beginning of the fires.
About an hour after they were started.
These are the origin points.
My theory is the arsonist
set the fire in the woods
and then came back here
to watch them both burn.
But the burn rate's the same.
Both fires started at the same time.
Then one was probably set remotely,
by radio or cell phone.
And then the arsonist came here?
That's what I'm thinking.
No.
The arsonist didn't just
watch the fire from this ledge.
He set it from here, both fires.
Both incendiary devices
set off at the same time.
From here?
The kids' first assignment in
robotics was to build a drone.
So he launched the drones
with the incendiary devices.
Then watched both ignition points go up
at the same time from here.
Right here.
Someone's feeling good.
So good.
Do we know you?
Who's "we"?
I mean, we know of you,
but we don't know anything about you.
What do you wanna know?
- What do you like?
- What do you mean?
Tia likes mushrooms.
I kind of prefer just getting stoned.
Phoebe lives at the bottom
of a bottle of tequila.
Austin likes anything that hammers
down the algorithm in his head.
So what do you like?
I like shrooms.
Do you like 'em with girls or boys?
- Or both?
- I don't like labels.
Everyone likes labels.
That's all people care about these days.
I don't label myself.
You can't not label yourself.
It's impossible.
Saying you don't label yourself
is still labeling yourself.
You're a non-labeler.
That doesn't make sense.
The fact that it
doesn't make sense to you
makes perfect sense.
Labeler.

- You're a dick.
- So are you.
Fuck you.
Fuck me?
Sure.
Did you do that because
you thought I was into him?
I mean, he's objectively one
of the hottest-looking guys
I've ever seen.
Everyone's into him.
I thought you were gonna ask
him if he likes to suck cock.
We should probably find out.
You want to?
Do you?
No.
Yeah, you do.
You know,
you should ask me out sometime.
- Like a date?
- Yeah, like a date.
Do I look like a fuckboy to you?
I don't really date.
Oh, so you're the fuckboy.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah.
I think it's hitting me
harder than I thought.
So what kind of date?
Like a dinner at a restaurant?
Yeah. Yeah, something like that.
Give me your phone.
So I have your number.
I'll call you.
I used to play a little.
Want me to show you something?
- Okay. Right. Yeah.
- It's something like that.
I think I know that one.
Let me give it a shot.
Why are you such an asshole?
It's my default setting.
I blame my parents.
Play something else.
Like what?
Mm, something that makes me think
you're not such an asshole.
Can I borrow your towel?
Yeah. Yeah.
- There's none left.
- Here.
- Oh, this way.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
You were having anxiety again.
I could feel it.
Oh, yeah. I'm
I'm okay now.
What do you usually do
to calm yourself down?
Breath work, yoga.
I have, like, 20 Spotify playlists
with sounds in different frequencies,
so, like, brown noise, pink noise,
binaural beats.
Stuff like that.
What's brown and pink noise?
It's hard to explain.
Do you want do you want to hear it?
Sure.
This one is the pink noise.
Okay, there's no way
that calms you down.
It does.
I think it's giving me anxiety.
Here. Let's try brown noise.
Okay.
This one's better.
Yeah.
Well, that's one good
reason to get a phone, right?
You really want me to have a phone?
It would make things a lot easier, yeah.
Why?
Because
I lie awake and I
I think about you.
And I think to myself
all the things I wanna tell you,
and then I think to myself,
well, I should just text her.
So I pick up my phone,
and then I remember, I can't text her
'cause she doesn't have a phone.
"She"?
- You.
- Me.
So then I think to myself,
well, whatever it is I want to tell her,
whatever's so important,
I'll just tell her tomorrow.
But then I don't.
I don't say anything to her.
"Her" or me?
Both of you.
Everett.
What did you want to tell me?
Just me.
You didn't need a phone to do that.
- You good?
- Yeah.
We're fine.
What's over here?
Elevator, I think.
Open it up.
Sorry. It's gotta be one of these.
Oh, you know, I think this key
is downstairs in the office.
Yeah.
Ramsey, you got that warrant.
You know what? You guys go ahead.
I wanna check things out here.
You sure?
Yeah.
I can take care of myself.
No. No. Nobody invited you.
What are you worried about?
I never said anything,
not one thing, ever.
Chill out, it's totally
fine. You need to calm down.
No, tell them to leave, okay?
I never said anything to her.
I said, get the fuck out of here.
- Nobody invited you.
- We weren't doing anything.
You were ruining my night.
Phoebe, come on. It's just a kickback.
No. Tell her to leave, okay?
I never did anything to her.
I never said anything,
not one thing, ever.
Hey, Harlan. It's Phoebe.
Tell that bitch I just
drove three miles on rims.
She thinks she can slash
my tires and just walk away?
Absolutely not.
I am gonna fucking ruin her.
Fuck you, Harlan.
Okay, yeah.
I thought she slashed
my tires. I was wrong.
- Yo, send that to me.
- Yeah, I'll AirDrop it.
Okay, can you not?
- Got it.
- Austin.

Wait, wait, wait! Hey!
Oh.
Are you kidding me? Again?
Austin.
Shit.
Tia, turn on the pool lights.
I told you, they're broken.
There's something down there!
- Go. Go. Go. Go.
- Get inside. Get inside.
Get inside. Shut the door.
Don't. Get in.
Oh, careful.
Jesus.
Are those
Bodies.
Quite a few of them.
How did they
I mean, who put them down there?
A werewolf.
What?
An incredibly powerful
supernatural predator.
Part human, part wolf.
A werewolf.
We need you to step outside right now.
It's here.
It's on the grounds.
I can bring you back.
Garrett, what did you see?
Something that changes everything.
