Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021) s01e07 Episode Script
Egg
[elegant piano music playing]
My son, the artist.
I guess.
You know, when you're ready
for a real show,
just say the word, I can get you
set up in any gallery on the west side.
Okay.
The bar at this hotel's great.
Heavy pour. Right?
What do you say we grab a waitress,
get a couple of martinis,
maybe a shrimp cocktail.
Plant a flag right here,
in my favorite table,
with my favorite son.
Yeah, I'm your only son.
And I don't eat shrimp.
Well, calamari then.
Come on, man. The world's your oyster.
Actually, they serve those here too.
Come on, celebrate with your old man, huh?
Okay.
Okay. Yeah. Um
Why don't you get me
a strawberry daiquiri?
Makes me feel like I'm at the beach.
Good choice.
[in halting speech] At the beach.
What?
I'm
at the beach.
[ominous music playing]
[line ringing]
- [Ralph over phone] Yeah?
- Did he do it yet?
You haven't heard from your girl?
Which girl? Heard what?
What do you mean which girl?
The girl with one eye.
Did your nephew find Lisa Nova
and finish her off?
I haven't heard from him.
Tell you the truth,
I don't got a good feeling about it.
Yeah, how the fuck do you think I feel?
Do I need to come punch her ticket myself?
When you hear from James, let me know.
- [high-pitched ringing]
- Oh, God.
[groans]
Stop!
[Lisa] Fire.
Set
[echoing] Life on fire.
[grunts]
[panting]
[exhales]
Hey, it's Lou calling for Alvin.
[banging]
[banging continues]
[banging continues]
[elegant piano music playing]
- [Lou] Alvin.
- Oh, greetings.
- [grunts]
- Another please and same for him.
- Oh.
- [bartender] Right away, Mr. Sender.
- You have an eye infection.
- Yeah, it's just a stye.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
[chuckles]
Heard about the guy who got burned
in your backyard.
How the hell does that happen?
Um Heat lamps.
Cigarettes.
One of those crazy things.
It's so funny.
When I first heard that it happened,
I flashed to you at Spago at a meeting,
and you'd just seen the, um
Ah what was the one
with the redneck vampires?
- After Dark!
- Near Dark.
Near Dark. Right, yes.
And you said to me, "Alvin, it's wild,
when they go out in the sun
[mimics explosion]
They burst into flames. It's so good."
That's what I love about you.
You love the movies.
Thank you.
Speaking of
Do you have somebody on deck to direct
the picture the burned kid was gonna do?
Yeah, that's actually what I wanted
to talk to you about. [clears throat]
I think we should consider giving it
back to the girl who directed the short.
I thought you said she was a train wreck.
All ego, unstable, emotional.
Well, yeah, she is.
She's an artist, you know,
but just as an option,
before I go back to her.
An option?
Let's just give her the movie back.
That's what I said from the beginning
and you kept pushing back.
I saw raw talent in that short.
Why don't we just give her a call now?
Excuse me. Can we get the phone
over here, please?
Yeah. Just pull out your
little black book and give her a call.
I don't think she's
gonna be available at this time of day.
You can just leave her a message.
Yeah, okay. [sniffles]
[ringing]
[Lisa on recording]
Hey, it's Lisa. Leave a message.
[beeps]
[Lou] Hey, Lisa. It's Lou Burke.
I'm actually here with Alvin Sender.
- Hey, Lisa! Let's do lunch!
- Um
We were just calling to touch base
with you about you know what.
So just give me a ring
whenever you get this.
[Lisa] Hello?
Oh, hey.
You're there.
Hi, Lou.
How are you feeling?
Why do you ask?
Weren't you under the weather
or something?
Oh, you mean my fractured skull?
So, you're
You're okay? Your health is good?
My health is great.
Great! Great.
Um, Alvin and I
were just having a conversation
about bringing you back on board.
So [clears throat]
Why don't you and I meet up,
and see if we can make that happen.
Um, actually, Jonathan said
you two might be getting together,
so why don't you bring him with you?
After you help him with his, um, thing.
You know, get him all straightened out.
And get everything back to normal.
Why would I do that?
Don't you wanna do your movie?
Why would I trust you?
I mean, you're trying to kill me.
Ah, well, yeah No, I
I see what you're saying,
but I don't want you to worry.
All right? Everything is good.
You killed my friend.
What?
Everything is not good.
No, no, you're you're mixed up.
I'm standing right next to his body.
I pulled your letter opener
out of his eye.
I wasn't actually a producer on that one.
Um, look. [clears throat]
Everything's good.
Let's meet up. Just take care
of that stuff with Jonathan and
I told you.
Jonathan belongs to Boro now.
Oh, and I killed that guy you sent.
Yeah? Uh
Say that again?
I ripped his fucking throat out.
And I'm gonna kill you too.
Where are you?
Great!
Um
I, ah
Looking forward to see how that turns out.
So am I.
Where are you?
Um, I might be a little difficult
to reach for the time being.
But I actually have a project
I'd like to pitch to you
that I've been thinking about.
It's based on a book.
It's not published yet, but
It's a story about a father
who someone hurts his son.
And this guy, I mean,
he just goes to the ends of the earth
to get revenge on this person.
He'll stop at nothing
to kill this person
and when he finally finds this person
You can guess how the story ends.
How does that sound?
Where are you, Lou?
Okay, Lisa. All right, good luck!
What's the name of that book?
Bob's Revenge.
[dramatic music playing]
Feels velvet-y huh?
What's in it?
Some stuff.
You won't ever want to get out.
[Lisa] Hi.
- [moans]
- Good.
[toad croaking]
[scoffs]
[branches rustling]
[snarling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[eerie shrieking]
[grunts]
Why did you do that?
What the fuck is that thing?
What thing?
Oh, my God.
Okay.
You really shouldn't have licked my toad.
I thought it was gonna show me
where Lou is.
No.
You said if I lick the poison toad,
I can see where my enemies are.
No.
What? That's what you said!
No!
The ritual does that.
The toad is just the first part.
Like the balche stew.
The toad is poisonous.
- [gasps]
- The ritual is even more dangerous.
But now that you have poisoned yourself,
you have to go through with it.
You have to do exactly what I say.
Or else in about six hours
you're gonna die.
- [Lou] Veronica, just trust me.
- [Veronica over phone] Lou
All right? Pack a suitcase,
leave the house, go somewhere else.
Where am I supposed to go?
A spa. Your mother's.
Go visit Brenda. She could use
some company after the divorce.
Brenda's out in some forest
finding herself.
- So don't go to Brenda's.
- Fine. Maybe I'll go shopping.
- Use the Mastercard.
- Lou, where is Jonathan?
- Have you heard anything yet?
- Look, I will explain.
Don't worry about Jonathan.
- All right? I'm gonna find him.
- Don't worry about Jonathan?
- You better fucking find him. You
- This I gotta go.
[Ralph] No way she killed him.
What?
No way that fucking girl
got the jump on my nephew.
That's what she told me.
That she killed him. I don't know.
Fuck I don't know.
That girl didn't kill my nephew.
Okay.
I'm gonna sort this shit out myself.
- [door opens]
- [sighs]
[door slams]
What?
[Lisa] Am I gonna start tripping again?
Forget tripping.
You're in the process of dying. Focus.
Okay. Tell me what I gotta do.
Well, the sex magic comes first.
And then the blood magic.
Sex magic?
[Boro] Yeah, just releases sexual energy.
Don't worry, you can do it on your own.
No need to drag anybody else into this.
If you're scared of this,
wait till you get to the blood magic.
[dramatic music playing]
[Boro] Oh. Well, that was unexpected.
What?
Looks like you can't do it
on your own after all.
Hey, I've seen a four-yolk egg.
Oh. I don't feel good.
I think I'm getting sick.
No, you're just starting to die.
You might also get a little high
as your soul starts to come loose
from your body.
If you're gonna throw up,
please let me know so I can turn away.
[scoffs]
It's different if it's a kitten.
Okay, so whose door can we knock on
for some spontaneous sex magic?
[dramatic music playing]
[knocking on door]
[woman] You makeup?
Oh, makeup's already here.
Who are you?
Um
I'm Lisa.
- I'm here to speak with Roy.
- I'm sorry, you need to come back
- another time, he's still getting ready.
- [Roy] What's going on? Is that Lisa Nova?
Yeah, it's me.
I just need a hand with some sex magic!
["Violence" playing softly over speakers]
You got some pretty intense energy
going on right now.
[chuckles nervously]
Yeah.
That's the poison.
Roy. I'm supposed to have you in a car
in 20 minutes.
[Roy] Just give us a second, Stacey.
You shouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be here
unless I really needed your help.
But if you want me to go, I'll go.
- I'm gonna go
- No. No, it's
It's just that
[sighs] Um
I've I've been pushing the envelope
my whole life.
And I've driven race cars
a hundred miles an hour on cliffsides,
I've jumped out of airplanes,
I've done all kinds of crazy shit.
I probably should've been dead by now.
But
[whispering] But wrapping a fucking
shower curtain around that dead body
and then getting rid
of it with your friends? I mean
It just
It made me think that maybe I need
to do things a little bit differently.
You know? Because I don't
wanna be the fucking jerkoff
that threw it all away. I'm
I know it's stupid, but I'm nominated
for a Golden Globe.
Me. And I
I've been trying my entire life
to do something like that, and
[sighs] I
- I think you're amazing.
- Oh.
- And I think you're fucking brilliant.
- [chuckles]
But
You can't trust violence ♪
You scare me, Lisa.
- That's the truth.
- No.
No. I'm sorry, but I just, like,
I wanna help you but I have no idea
what that is gonna cost me.
I mean, everywhere you go,
people keep fucking dying.
You can't trust violence ♪
I don't think you're scared of me.
You're scared of losing control.
But you don't have to be scared.
I understand you, Roy.
You can't trust violence ♪
It's only sex.
Stacey, take care of makeup.
I'll be right behind you.
- [Stacey scoffs]
- Go.
Now!
Everybody out of the house! Now! Go!
[music continues]
Think this is a little more private.
In order for this to work, I have to come.
That shouldn't be a problem.
And you have to come too.
That shouldn't be a problem.
- Harry?
- Merry Christmas, Frank!
[pounding on door]
[pounding continues]
[Christine] Coming.
Hi.
Can I help you?
I hope so. I'm a friend of Lisa. She here?
Why would she be here?
She's not at her place.
You know who is though?
This guy.
License says he lives here.
He does.
He did.
What does that mean?
I'm looking for my nephew James.
Also goes by Jimmy.
You know where he is?
I don't know who your nephew is.
How would I know where he is?
Last thing he did, far as I know,
is go to kill Lisa.
I started to get a little worried though,
because I haven't heard from him.
[ominous music playing]
[grunts]
I consider you connected to all this.
I know you're mixed up with Lisa
and whatever she's doing.
And I'm in a real bad mood.
So if I can't find her,
I might just decide
to hold you personally responsible.
Now
Jimmy and I have breakfast together
every morning.
He didn't show up today.
You know where he is?
[whimpering]
He's alive, right?
[sobs]
He's alive, right?
Yeah.
Great. Take me to him.
[dramatic music playing]
[toy squeaking]
[squeaking]
Jonathan?
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
It's me.
It's Dad.
[moaning]
Okay.
Okay.
I hear you.
I hear you.
[moaning]
Okay.
Let's Let's get out of here, huh?
Let's go.
[squeaking]
[moaning]
Yeah? Yeah?
- [toy squeaking]
- [moaning]
You like the toy? Okay!
Okay, come on.
Come on, buddy.
- [toy squeaking]
- [moaning]
Whoa. [chuckles] I know. It's funny, huh?
- [toy squeaks]
- Come on, buddy. Come on.
[moaning]
[toy squeaks]
Yeah.
- [toy squeaks]
- [Lou] Ooh.
- [both panting]
- [dramatic music playing]
I think your high
is getting me high.
[both moaning]
[Lisa gasps]
[moaning]
[spirit snarling]
[Lisa and Roy moaning]
[Roy grunts]
[both panting]
Jesus.
That was dramatic.
You're welcome.
For the record, you do scare me.
[laughs]
Well, thanks for saving my life anyway.
And I still wanna be in your movie.
Yeah.
I might just get it back
one of these days.
Muy bueno, Roy.
Oh, my
Jesus Christ! What the fuck
is she doing here? Goddamn it!
[Boro] We gotta go.
Blood magic. You ready?
Sorry, you said blood magic?
Yes, we have to go.
- Great, I thought you did.
- Okay. What do I have to do?
You have to consume the flesh of a man
who died in his prime.
Like the holy communion.
You guys can't stay here after I leave.
What do you mean in his prime?
[Boro] Not old.
Kind of like
I have a gun.
No.
I have someone who's already dead.
[siren wailing in distance]
[ominous music playing]
Jimmy wouldn't come here.
[softly] It was Lisa.
What's that?
It wasn't me.
Wasn't you, what?
[sobbing]
It was Lisa.
Please.
I can help you find her.
Whatever you need.
Please.
[sobbing] It was Lisa.
Please.
What do you want?
You remember, Jonathan?
Do you remember?
This is where we came
for your college graduation.
Okay. [sniffs]
Um This is you.
Jonathan.
And this is me, Dad.
And this is your mother.
Mom.
Shrimp.
Shrimp?
You want You want shrimp?
Shrimp.
We can get some shrimp cocktail.
We can get some
[gasps]
Uh
[ominous music playing]
[Boro] Hurry.
I don't really wanna do this.
Come on. Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
I'll help you.
Come on. You're disoriented
because of the poison.
This is what you wanted.
Oh.
You've been busy.
I can't.
Go wait in the kitchen.
I'll take care of it.
Okay. You'll take care of it.
Wait. What do you What do you mean?
[Boro] Preparing your meal.
[Boro grunts]
Poor guy.
[sighs]
[ominous music playing]
Do you have any milk?
Milk?
Why?
- You put it in eggs to make them fluffy.
- [flesh tearing]
[banging on trapdoor]
Lisa?
Oh, yeah, that's just the trapdoor
in my bedroom.
[banging continues]
Ignore it.
Why is it doing that?
Well, there's something down there
from the other side.
But if these things can just pop out
whenever they want,
like in the greenhouse earlier,
then why would it be thump-thump-thumping
if it can just come on out.
Because out here, it takes effort.
It's hard for them to even touch you,
much less hurt you, out here.
Just don't go down there.
All done.
Chop the vegetables.
[upbeat music playing]
Add the freaky egg
with the sex magic sweat.
And one human ear.
[whirring]
You need to eat now.
I really don't want you to die.
All I wanted to do was make a movie.
Lisa, things are gonna work out.
I promise I'll see to it.
The road curves
but the destination doesn't change.
[knocking on door]
That was the door.
- That was the real door.
- No.
- I'm gonna get it.
- You have to eat.
[sighs] Lisa.
[knocking continues]
Hello.
- [Alvin] Uh, Lisa Nova?
- Yes?
Hi, I'm Alvin Sender.
Hi.
- Hi, do you mind if I come in?
- I do.
- Do you know who I am?
- Alvin Sender.
Yes, great.
I know that Lou reached out to you,
but I wanted to meet you personally.
- Hi.
- Hi. What I wanted
[banging on trapdoor]
Um, so, what I wanted to say was
that I know Lou talked about
the possibility
of bringing you back on board
to direct your movie,
but I wanted to make it official.
And, well, it's my money, so that's that.
Cool.
[Alvin] Great.
[banging continues]
Um
There's some things we need to discuss
but if now's not a really good time
- It's not.
- Right. Okay.
Then how about an afternoon drink
tomorrow at The Grill?
- I'd love to.
- Great.
- 3:30, 4:00?
- 4:00.
- Four it is. I look forward to it.
- I can't wait.
Me too. And congratulations, Lisa.
I told you the destination doesn't change.
[dramatic music playing]
Eat.
For me. Please.
- Nice jacket.
- Fuck off.
[Alvin] Just being polite.
You're out of time.
I can't.
He was my closest friend.
It's mostly egg.
There's barely any of him in there.
It feels like I traded his life
for my fucking movie.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [gasps]
- [knocking on door]
[gasping]
[knocking continues]
[snarling]
[eerie shrieking]
[Boro screams]
[whimpering]
[Lisa yells]
[glass shattering]
[gunshots]
[Lisa] Are you the jaguar?
She betrayed you.
And you've been looking for her
all this time.
[in foreign language] And for you.
You don't remember?
You're her.
I've never seen your face.
Can I see your face?
This is my face.
Boro will betray you.
She steals my blood from your body.
Without you, she's weak.
The poison is gone.
Do what you need to do. Then
Come find me.
- [trapdoor rattling]
- [Ralph grunting]
["Season of the Witch" playing]
[Lisa gasps softly]
When I look out my window ♪
Many sights to see ♪
And when I look in my window ♪
So many different people to be ♪
Then it's strange ♪
So strange ♪
You got to pick up every stitch ♪
You got to pick up every stitch ♪
You got to pick up every stitch ♪
[Roy] Lisa!
Lisa! Lis Wait!
Stop! This is good!
This is where I want!
Must be the season of the witch, yeah ♪
Hey! Check this shit out!
Isn't this fucking limo crazy?
[Roy] I fucking I won.
How fucking mental is this?
Fucking
You know, it's funny. Because we all
We all fucking think about this stuff
all the time
and pretend like we don't give a shit,
but you can't help but want it. You know?
And I was excited because tonight,
you know
Tonight, I was
I was really happy that something
that I wanted my whole life,
that I worked really hard for
was gonna finally make me fucking feel
something again, right?
And I didn't feel
a fucking goddamn thing.
And I kept waiting for it to hit me.
But all I could think about
was this afternoon.
With you.
And how you're the only thing
that's ever made me feel
like maybe it's gonna be okay.
And that I wanna be
alive.
And
I just wanna feel like that again.
- [gunshot]
- [Roy] Oh!
- [Lisa groaning]
- [gunshots]
[Roy] Get in!
Get the fuck in!

Must be the season of the witch ♪
[Roy] Go!
Go, go, go, go, go!
- Are you okay? Are you okay?
- [groaning]
[Roy] What the fuck was that?
My son, the artist.
I guess.
You know, when you're ready
for a real show,
just say the word, I can get you
set up in any gallery on the west side.
Okay.
The bar at this hotel's great.
Heavy pour. Right?
What do you say we grab a waitress,
get a couple of martinis,
maybe a shrimp cocktail.
Plant a flag right here,

Ah, well, yeah No, I

All right? Everything is good.
You killed my friend.

Everything is not good.
No, no, you're you're mixed up.

I ripped his fucking throat out.
And I'm gonna kill you too.
Where are you?
Great!
Um
I, ah
Looking forward to see how that turns out.
So am I.
Where are you?
Um, I might be a little difficult
to reach for the time being.
But I actually have a project
I'd like to pitch to you
that I've been thinking about.
It's based on a book.
It's not published yet, but
It's a story about a father
who someone hurts his son.
And this guy, I mean,
he just goes to the ends of the earth
to get revenge on this person.
He'll stop at nothing
to kill this person
and when he finally finds this person
You can guess how the story ends.
How does that sound?
Where are you, Lou?
Okay, Lisa. All right, good luck!
What's the name of that book?
Bob's Revenge.
[dramatic music playing]
Feels velvet-y huh?
What's in it?
Some stuff.
You won't ever want to get out.
[Lisa] Hi.
- [moans]
- Good.
[toad croaking]
[scoffs]
[branches rustling]
[snarling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[eerie shrieking]
[grunts]
Why did you do that?
What the fuck is that thing?
What thing?
Oh, my God.
Okay.
You really shouldn't have licked my toad.
I thought it was gonna show me
where Lou is.
No.
You said if I lick the poison toad,
I can see where my enemies are.
No.
What? That's what you said!
No!
The ritual does that.
The toad is just the first part.
Like the balche stew.
The toad is poisonous.
- [gasps]
- The ritual is even more dangerous.
But now that you have poisoned yourself,
you have to go through with it.
You have to do exactly what I say.
Or else in about six hours
you're gonna die.
- [Lou] Veronica, just trust me.
- [Veronica over phone] Lou
All right? Pack a suitcase,
leave the house, go somewhere else.
Where am I supposed to go?
A spa. Your mother's.
Go visit Brenda. She could use
some company after the divorce.
Brenda's out in some forest
finding herself.
- So don't go to Brenda's.
- Fine. Maybe I'll go shopping.
- Use the Mastercard.
- Lou, where is Jonathan?
- Have you heard anything yet?
- Look, I will explain.
Don't worry about Jonathan.
- All right? I'm gonna find him.
- Don't worry about Jonathan?
- You better fucking find him. You
- This I gotta go.
[Ralph] No way she killed him.
What?
No way that fucking girl
got the jump on my nephew.
That's what she told me.
That she killed him. I don't know.
Fuck I don't know.
That girl didn't kill my nephew.
Okay.
I'm gonna sort this shit out myself.
- [door opens]
- [sighs]
[door slams]
What?
[Lisa] Am I gonna start tripping again?
Forget tripping.
You're in the process of dying. Focus.
Okay. Tell me what I gotta do.
Well, the sex magic comes first.
And then the blood magic.
Sex magic?
[Boro] Yeah, just releases sexual energy.
Don't worry, you can do it on your own.
No need to drag anybody else into this.
If you're scared of this,
wait till you get to the blood magic.
[dramatic music playing]
[Boro] Oh. Well, that was unexpected.
What?
Looks like you can't do it
on your own after all.
Hey, I've seen a four-yolk egg.
Oh. I don't feel good.
I think I'm getting sick.
No, you're just starting to die.
You might also get a little high
as your soul starts to come loose
from your body.
If you're gonna throw up,
please let me know so I can turn away.
[scoffs]
It's different if it's a kitten.
Okay, so whose door can we knock on
for some spontaneous sex magic?
[dramatic music playing]
[knocking on door]
[woman] You makeup?
Oh, makeup's already here.
Who are you?
Um
I'm Lisa.
- I'm here to speak with Roy.
- I'm sorry, you need to come back
- another time, he's still getting ready.
- [Roy] What's going on? Is that Lisa Nova?
Yeah, it's me.
I just need a hand with some sex magic!
["Violence" playing softly over speakers]
You got some pretty intense energy
going on right now.
[chuckles nervously]
Yeah.
That's the poison.
Roy. I'm supposed to have you in a car
in 20 minutes.
[Roy] Just give us a second, Stacey.
You shouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be here
unless I really needed your help.
But if you want me to go, I'll go.
- I'm gonna go
- No. No, it's
It's just that
[sighs] Um
I've I've been pushing the envelope
my whole life.
And I've driven race cars
a hundred miles an hour on cliffsides,
I've jumped out of airplanes,
I've done all kinds of crazy shit.
I probably should've been dead by now.
But
[whispering] But wrapping a fucking
shower curtain around that dead body
and then getting rid
of it with your friends? I mean
It just
It made me think that maybe I need
to do things a little bit differently.
You know? Because I don't
wanna be the fucking jerkoff
that threw it all away. I'm
I know it's stupid, but I'm nominated
for a Golden Globe.
Me. And I
I've been trying my entire life
to do something like that, and
[sighs] I
- I think you're amazing.
- Oh.
- And I think you're fucking brilliant.
- [chuckles]
But
You can't trust violence ♪
You scare me, Lisa.
- That's the truth.
- No.
No. I'm sorry, but I just, like,
I wanna help you but I have no idea
what that is gonna cost me.
I mean, everywhere you go,
people keep fucking dying.
You can't trust violence ♪
I don't think you're scared of me.
You're scared of losing control.
But you don't have to be scared.
I understand you, Roy.
You can't trust violence ♪
It's only sex.
Stacey, take care of makeup.
I'll be right behind you.
- [Stacey scoffs]
- Go.
Now!
Everybody out of the house! Now! Go!
[music continues]
Think this is a little more private.
In order for this to work, I have to come.
That shouldn't be a problem.
And you have to come too.
That shouldn't be a problem.
- Harry?
- Merry Christmas, Frank!
[pounding on door]
[pounding continues]
[Christine] Coming.
Hi.
Can I help you?
I hope so. I'm a friend of Lisa. She here?
Why would she be here?
She's not at her place.
You know who is though?
This guy.
License says he lives here.
He does.
He did.
What does that mean?
I'm looking for my nephew James.
Also goes by Jimmy.
You know where he is?
I don't know who your nephew is.
How would I know where he is?
Last thing he did, far as I know,
is go to kill Lisa.
I started to get a little worried though,
because I haven't heard from him.
[ominous music playing]
[grunts]
I consider you connected to all this.
I know you're mixed up with Lisa
and whatever she's doing.
And I'm in a real bad mood.
So if I can't find her,
I might just decide
to hold you personally responsible.
Now
Jimmy and I have breakfast together
every morning.
He didn't show up today.
You know where he is?
[whimpering]
He's alive, right?
[sobs]
He's alive, right?
Yeah.
Great. Take me to him.
[dramatic music playing]
[toy squeaking]
[squeaking]
Jonathan?
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
It's me.
It's Dad.
[moaning]
Okay.
Okay.
I hear you.
I hear you.
[moaning]
Okay.
Let's Let's get out of here, huh?
Let's go.
[squeaking]
[moaning]
Yeah? Yeah?
- [toy squeaking]
- [moaning]
You like the toy? Okay!
Okay, come on.
Come on, buddy.
- [toy squeaking]
- [moaning]
Whoa. [chuckles] I know. It's funny, huh?
- [toy squeaks]
- Come on, buddy. Come on.
[moaning]
[toy squeaks]
Yeah.
- [toy squeaks]
- [Lou] Ooh.
- [both panting]
- [dramatic music playing]
I think your high
is getting me high.
[both moaning]
[Lisa gasps]
[moaning]
[spirit snarling]
[Lisa and Roy moaning]
[Roy grunts]
[both panting]
Jesus.
That was dramatic.
You're welcome.
For the record, you do scare me.
[laughs]
Well, thanks for saving my life anyway.
And I still wanna be in your movie.
Yeah.
I might just get it back
one of these days.
Muy bueno, Roy.
Oh, my
Jesus Christ! What the fuck
is she doing here? Goddamn it!
[Boro] We gotta go.
Blood magic. You ready?
Sorry, you said blood magic?
Yes, we have to go.
- Great, I thought you did.
- Okay. What do I have to do?
You have to consume the flesh of a man
who died in his prime.
Like the holy communion.
You guys can't stay here after I leave.
What do you mean in his prime?
[Boro] Not old.
Kind of like
I have a gun.
No.
I have someone who's already dead.
[siren wailing in distance]
[ominous music playing]
Jimmy wouldn't come here.
[softly] It was Lisa.
What's that?
It wasn't me.
Wasn't you, what?
[sobbing]
It was Lisa.
Please.
I can help you find her.
Whatever you need.
Please.
[sobbing] It was Lisa.
Please.
What do you want?
You remember, Jonathan?
Do you remember?
This is where we came
for your college graduation.
Okay. [sniffs]
Um This is you.
Jonathan.
And this is me, Dad.
And this is your mother.
Mom.
Shrimp.
Shrimp?
You want You want shrimp?
Shrimp.
We can get some shrimp cocktail.
We can get some
[gasps]
Uh
[ominous music playing]
[Boro] Hurry.
I don't really wanna do this.
Come on. Yes, you do. Yes, you do.
I'll help you.
Come on. You're disoriented
because of the poison.
This is what you wanted.
Oh.
You've been busy.
I can't.
Go wait in the kitchen.
I'll take care of it.
Okay. You'll take care of it.
Wait. What do you What do you mean?
[Boro] Preparing your meal.
[Boro grunts]
Poor guy.
[sighs]
[ominous music playing]
Do you have any milk?
Milk?
Why?
- You put it in eggs to make them fluffy.
- [flesh tearing]
[banging on trapdoor]
Lisa?
Oh, yeah, that's just the trapdoor
in my bedroom.
[banging continues]
Ignore it.
Why is it doing that?
Well, there's something down there
from the other side.
But if these things can just pop out
whenever they want,
like in the greenhouse earlier,
then why would it be thump-thump-thumping
if it can just come on out.
Because out here, it takes effort.
It's hard for them to even touch you,
much less hurt you, out here.
Just don't go down there.
All done.
Chop the vegetables.
[upbeat music playing]
Add the freaky egg
with the sex magic sweat.
And one human ear.
[whirring]
You need to eat now.
I really don't want you to die.
All I wanted to do was make a movie.
Lisa, things are gonna work out.
I promise I'll see to it.
The road curves
but the destination doesn't change.
[knocking on door]
That was the door.
- That was the real door.
- No.
- I'm gonna get it.
- You have to eat.
[sighs] Lisa.
[knocking continues]
Hello.
- [Alvin] Uh, Lisa Nova?
- Yes?
Hi, I'm Alvin Sender.
Hi.
- Hi, do you mind if I come in?
- I do.
- Do you know who I am?
- Alvin Sender.
Yes, great.
I know that Lou reached out to you,
but I wanted to meet you personally.
- Hi.
- Hi. What I wanted
[banging on trapdoor]
Um, so, what I wanted to say was
that I know Lou talked about
the possibility
of bringing you back on board
to direct your movie,
but I wanted to make it official.
And, well, it's my money, so that's that.
Cool.
[Alvin] Great.
[banging continues]
Um
There's some things we need to discuss
but if now's not a really good time
- It's not.
- Right. Okay.
Then how about an afternoon drink
tomorrow at The Grill?
- I'd love to.
- Great.
- 3:30, 4:00?
- 4:00.
- Four it is. I look forward to it.
- I can't wait.
Me too. And congratulations, Lisa.
I told you the destination doesn't change.
[dramatic music playing]
Eat.
For me. Please.
- Nice jacket.
- Fuck off.
[Alvin] Just being polite.
You're out of time.
I can't.
He was my closest friend.
It's mostly egg.
There's barely any of him in there.
It feels like I traded his life
for my fucking movie.
[suspenseful music playing]
- [gasps]
- [knocking on door]
[gasping]
[knocking continues]
[snarling]
[eerie shrieking]
[Boro screams]
[whimpering]
[Lisa yells]
[glass shattering]
[gunshots]
[Lisa] Are you the jaguar?
She betrayed you.
And you've been looking for her
all this time.
[in foreign language] And for you.
You don't remember?
You're her.
I've never seen your face.
Can I see your face?
This is my face.
Boro will betray you.
She steals my blood from your body.
Without you, she's weak.
The poison is gone.
Do what you need to do. Then
Come find me.
- [trapdoor rattling]
- [Ralph grunting]

Fucking
You know, it's funny. Because we all

and pretend like we don't give a shit,
but you can't help but want it. You know?
And I was excited because tonight,
you know
Tonight, I was
I was really happy that something
that I wanted my whole life,
that I worked really hard for
was gonna finally make me fucking feel
something again, right?
And I didn't feel
a fucking goddamn thing.
And I kept waiting for it to hit me.
But all I could think about
was this afternoon.
With you.
And how you're the only thing
that's ever made me feel
like maybe it's gonna be okay.
And that I wanna be
alive.
And
I just wanna feel like that again.
