That came out wrong.
I get it.

Okay. Thank you.

Do you mind telling me what's
in that bag right there?
Is that a Is that a body in there?
Oh. No. No!

[LAUGHS] Yeah.
[CLEARS THROAT] But seriously,
I'm gonna need to take a look.
Okay, okay.
- [OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

[LAUGHS] Okay, well, sorry
for the inconvenience,
I I just have to check
these things out, you know
- Sure.

on a Dateline episode.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Although, you know, my wife
would be excited about that.
She's a big fan, never
misses an episode.
Yeah. Who does, right?

Yeah.
[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]

- [GASPS]
[DRAMATIC HORROR MUSIC BUILDING]
[BRATT, AS HAROLD] Hey. Hey, Officer.
Where you headed?
I was following a friend and I lost her.
Blonde hair, station wagon.
Oh! [LAUGHS]
- Yeah, I just saw her.
- Really?
She has that cabin on Timberlane Drive.
- Uh-huh
- You just head up
the road right here and take
a left at the first fork.
You can't miss it.
- Thanks.
- [RANGER] Yeah.
- But, uh, you can't go.
- Why?
Road's already a mess up
there, you have to have chains.
I don't have time for chains.
Everyone has time for safety.
They sell them down at the
general store back in town.
I don't wanna be pulling a dead body
- out of the snow tonight.
- Okay.
- It's my wife's birthday.
- Cool.
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- [ENGINE REVVING]
[ENGINE REVVING]
So how many cocoa packets do
you think Bratt's downed by now?
What?
Oh, I don't know, I just
really wanna find my mom, man.
Don't worry, we're gonna
get there in time, okay?
Bratt's slowed him way down.
Yeah, yeah, you know, I
just hope you're right.
Okay, permission to drive like
I promised my mom I never would?
Yeah, man.
[ENGINE REVVING]
[SLAPPY] You've always been special.
How are you even talking right now?
I want to help you put me back together.
I'm not gonna let you
"help" anyone ever again.
You don't scare me.
I'm gonna hide you in the mountains
where no one's ever gonna find you.
You can't stop me [MUFFLED PROTESTS]
[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]
I'm coming, my friend.
[MARGOT] What were you going
to tell me in the scrapbook?
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[ISAIAH SIGHS]
[ISAIAH] It doesn't matter.
I thought we were going to die.
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[MARGOT] We still might. Tell me.
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[ISAIAH] I don't need your
boyfriend coming at me.
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[MARGOT] Lucas is not my BF.
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
- [ISAIAH] What is he?
- [TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[MARGOT] My BF-like person.
[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]
[ISAIAH SIGHS] You're funny.
[MARGOT] Why do you
care what I call him?
Are you guys texting each other?
[BOTH] No.
Okay.
[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]
[LUCAS] Wait, stop, stop, stop.
Whoa, whoa, why we stopping?
That's Bratt's car.
[ISABELLA] Yeah, this is definitely his.
Uh, guys, over here.
Yo, he's on foot and he's
headed right for the cabin.
Lucas, the storm! Wait!
There's no time to wait.
I have to go find my mom!
Margot, stop. What are you doing?
- It's not safe!
- Who for, him or you?
I'm not letting him go out there alone.
Okay, fine, then I gotta go with you.
What if Bratt comes back with Nora?
Oh, that's a good point.
You know what, you
guys stay here together.
Hey, come on, you'll be safer.
Yeah, if he doesn't come back.
Just stay in the Jeep, okay?
Come on, we gotta go!
[ISAIAH] Okay.
Okay.
It's okay.
If staying in my warm
car with heated seats
is what's being asked
of us in this moment,
I think we can handle it.
We can step up to the plate.
- Right?
- Yeah.
[LUCAS] Good luck!
[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]
[CLIMACTIC THEME PLAYING]
[GRUNTING]
- [ENGINE STRUGGLING]
- [SLAPPY GRUNTING]
- [NORA SCREAMING]
- You open that door!
You can't have him back, Harold.
You've always seen
what no one else could.
Just give him back to
me, we belong together!
- He's evil, he made you evil.
- No!
- [ENGINE SPUTTERS]
- He made me special!
No, he made you a monster.
He didn't do this to me,
you and your friends did!
- [NORA SCREAMS]
- [ENGINE REVVING]
[BRATT] No, no!
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- [BRATT SCREAMS]
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
Come on.
[BRATT GRUNTING]
[SCREAMING IN PAIN]
[PANTING, GROANING]
[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]
[BRATT] Nora!
Where are you gonna go?
We're in the middle of nowhere!
[PANTING]
What's your plan, Nora?
You ever heard of hypothermia?
When your body doesn't
produce enough heat,
your organs start shutting down.
It doesn't matter to
me, I'm already dead.
Nora! Where you gonna go?
[GRUNTS] Nora!
[NORA BREATHING HEAVILY]
[BRATT] Nora!
Come on!
- [NORA GRUNTS]
- [BRATT] Nora!
Nora!
[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]
[WIND HOWLING]
[BRATT] Nora!
[DISTANT] Nora!
So you know Isaiah and
Margot will never be together.
What?
They're an almost couple.
- A what?
- An almost couple.
Like, they can't actually be together,
or the magic of "them" will be gone.
They're just in love with
the idea of each other,
but they could never
really make it work.
It's like emotional edging.
- Is that a sex thing?
- Of course it is.
Oh.
I'm just saying, they
never wanna get there.
So, you're good.
[CHUCKLES] So let me get this straight,
I can like Isaiah
as long I'm okay with him having
deep-seated unresolved feelings
for his beautiful neighbor?
Exactly.
[GENTLE THEME PLAYING]
I'm hungry. Are you hungry?
Do you think Postmates delivers up here?
[ENGINE IDLING]
[LUCAS GRUNTS] Mom!
- This is bad.
- Yeah, yeah.
[LUCAS] Mom!
She's not in there. I think
she ran toward the trees.
It's okay, Lucas, we're
gonna find her, okay?
And what if he's already got her?
Hey, hold on, we've gotta stay close.
We can't get separated!

[ISABELLA] Is that your mom?
- James?
- Mom?
Wait, are you actually James?
- Are you drunk?
- [SIGHS] It is you!
I'd know that snark anywhere.
Isabella, what are you doing here?
Oh, um, it's a long story.
I mean, what What
are you guys doing here?
It's also a long story.
- Where's Isaiah?
- At Nora's cabin.
He went with Lucas and Margot.
- Oh.
- Which direction?
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Wai Wait. Nora went
up there with Slappy.
Wait a minute. You know about Slappy?
We know everything.
It's okay, I mean, it's not great,
but I feel like we know
you guys a lot better now.
And there's something
we need to tell you

All right, hey.
Hey, this is getting unsafe,
and I don't want you to get hurt.
I need you to go back, and
I'm going to find him, okay?
