So I'm gonna show you this really awesome, real easy cucumber and onion marinated salad today that is great for all your picnics and stuff 'cause it is starting to get... [Voice fades] [Vocalizing continues] [Vocalizing fades] [Up-tempo music plays] [Up-tempo music playing through ear buds] Yo. [Whirs] - Come on, come on. - Quiet, quiet. [Beeps] [Beeps] Hey, do you have a minute to talk about trying to save the rainforest? A $5 contribution will help save 50 acres of rainforest! [Inhales sharply] Oh, shit. [Doorbell rings] Fuck. - Can I help you? - Hey! - Are you the Claptons? - Yes, we are. Hi. Yeah, I'm... I'm Gretchen. I'm here with Save the Rainforest. Do you two have a minute to talk about how we could go back to a sustainable Earth? There's a "no soliciting" sign. Oh, yeah. No, I saw that. I'm just "canopying" to try to save the rainforests, so if you two had just a minute to talk about how we could try to save the planet... Tell you what. - Here's 20 bucks. - Oh. - Please don't come back. - Cool. Oh, hey! Um, wait, guys. Do you want to sign up for my newsletter? - No. - No, thanks. Fuckers. Here we go. 234 pesos. De nada. How much you got saved? I got like $600 buried in my backyard. Nah, ain't enough, Cas. Yeah, no shit. Small-time B&E ain't gonna be enough to get me and my dad out of here. Yeah, we should definitely hit something big tomorrow. Oh, I can't. I'm working that dinner-party thing tomorrow night. - I told you this. - Why serve when you can steal? Every penny counts when you're pregnant. Unless you want me to raise our baby in a crack house, because that is the alternative, Dodge. Yo, Cas. You should see this place, man. It's like a fucking palace. I keep trying to get Iris to fucking nab it with me. No. They got a safe in the master bedroom. Them fucking yuppie scums won't know what hit them. - Is it electronic? - No. Shut the fuck up, Dodge. They're not yuppies. They're nice people. Nice people don't live in Malibu. No, besides, they've got, like, security cameras and shit. There's just no way we could take a place like that. It would be impossible. - Yeah, well, I'm just... - So leave it. - I'm just saying. - [Chuckles] And time. Dad? Dad? [Rapping] Back with a vengeance Why does it feel this good? Been killing a long time ago Now I'm getting my shot to get this cooked Aside from the beast that smile under it Need a black knife and some blood If I'm right, then I might as well Start writing all these lines down in blood Yesterday we monsters, lions And tigers and bears, oh, my I just sink my fangs until you bleed Don't sleep at night At least I could bring you reasons I'm about to feed these demons Hey. - Monster for life - Hey. Maybe then you'll get your act right Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Want this party started, shorty, oh, is that right? Monster party, counting bodies, yeah, I'm that guy I'm looking for Emory. He's occupied. Wait, don't go in there There's more to share, extraordinaire He's here with my dad. Born to panic, understand it Dreamcatcher and nightmares Dark days for light years I know he's here. All right. They wouldn't hear you scream if I do things - To two of them arms - Yeah, yeah, yeah [Punches thudding, man groaning] What is this? Come here. Piece of shit. Sit him down. Emory... So your dad has a gambling problem. [Coughing] How much? Come here. [Sniffing] It's a lot. It's enough money. Emory... I'll get the money. [Coughing] Just give me a few hours. Hey, hey, hey. Hey! Hey! No, man. Hey. No. Fuck! - What? - Just don't. - Just don't. - Just what? Just don't. Please, just don't. Look, I can, um... I-I can get it, okay? You...

You fuck with me... ...I'm gonna burn your dad alive. Okay. Consider this my... - No. - ...advance payment. Hey! No! [Cigar cutter snips] Aaah! Call the police. He'll kill my dad if he thinks anything weird's happening. He'd come after me without a question. So, what are you gonna do? Well, you know, you said you got to work tomorrow, right? - Casper, no. - Yes. I think this idea is brilliant. N-No. You guys, that place is insane. It's like we'd need two weeks minimum to plan that out. - You've been there. - Indeed you have, babe. No. Shut the fuck up, Dodge. If we get caught, do you know what happens? If anything bad happens, Cas and I take the rap. - You'll be fine. - Great, yeah. That's totally what I want to hear. Look, Iris, I'd never ask you to do this if I wasn't serious. Yeah, he's a fuckup, but he's still my dad. If we don't do this, we're all in big fucking trouble, okay? Guys. Please. All right, well... Fuck. Press the call button. - Hello? - Hi, Mrs. Dawson. It's the servers for tonight. You're not Brandon. - No, no, no, no. Brandon and... - Jeff. ...Jeff came down with a 24-hour thing, so, um, they've been having a really rough day, so we're coming to help with Iris. Hey, Miss Dawson! You know where to park. So I know for a fact they have security cameras in most of the first floor, but I don't know where it's controlled by. We go in, we do our jobs, we don't draw attention to ourselves. Eye up the place as best we can, get out with whatever cash we got. [Inhales sharply] Simple as a pimple. [Doorbell rings] Holy shit. What the fuck? We are so late, and we need to get so ready. Oh. My God. What is this one wearing? Oh, uh, I'm sorry, Miss Dawson. - It was just short notice. - And this one? I-I said black slacks. Slacks. Not jeans. And you, my dear, you're gonna go into the bathroom, and you're gonna fix your hair and take that thing off your head. And you... Elliot! [Footsteps] [Sighs] Can I help? Can you take these two upstairs and have Elliot dress them appropriately? Okay, Mother. Thank you, darling. Wait. I need your phones. - Wait. Why? - Ringing, privacy. You'll be busy attending to the guests. - We'll just turn them off. - Do you want to get paid? - Y-Yeah. - Now. Thank you. Go. Let's go chop some tomatoes. So, what's your guys' names? - Dodge. - Uh, Casper. Dodge and Casper. You guys sound like a Saturday-morning cartoon. Elliot? We need your pants. [Indistinct talking on TV] You might want to avert your eyes. Just listen to me for a second. [Indistinct talking and shouting] Please don't do this! Don't do this! Aah! Aah! - Stop it! - Really? What do you want? Mom wants these guys dressed like butlers. You can handle that, can't you, big bro? I'm Alexis, by the way. I'll see you back down in the dungeon. Y-Yeah. Yeah. [Door opens] [Door closes] Hello? Oh. Um, hey, man, you mind if we borrow some clothes? Bottom drawer. It's actually my size. Hey, uh, is that sweet hole coming tonight? What? You know. Your little blonde ponytail. I said, is she coming? Or is it just you two assholes tonight? - Excuse me, bro? - Hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on. I was kidding. It's a joke. There somewhere we can change? There's a bathroom on the right in the bedroom down the hall. Okay, thanks. Come on. Iris? Your friends, a-are they new? Uh, yeah. A little bit. They'll be okay, Miss Dawson. Miss Dawson? I just... Tonight needs to be perfect. What's the occasion? Patrick, dear. Have you seen Mickey? I put him in the basement. He's fine. Who's Mickey? Mickey's our dog. [Horn honks, engine revs] [Moaning echoes in distance] [Moaning stops] [Moaning echoes in distance] What took you so long? [Chamber music plays] Oh, yeah. Patrick. Milo. [Indistinct conversations] [Clinking] Good evening, everyone. I want to thank you all for coming. Whew! Wow, the third annual. And we'll get into specifics at dinner, but before we seg into the next part of the night, I wanted to share a little anecdote I thought you all would appreciate. Several weeks ago I was taking my morning run through the canyon like I always do. And on the winding road I found a man. He was sleeping in the bushes. He had no home. The sun had barely risen. There was nobody around. He wasn't even awake. This is a man who's probably suffering, who has no family missing him, who, in that moment, simply was. And even though I wanted to, I didn't do a thing about it. And that's where the story ends. [Laughs] I'd like to propose a toast. To Milo and his graduates! [Mid-tempo music plays] [Echoing] Are you ready? [Howling] Hey, sweetheart! Why don't you bring some of those up yonder, huh? - Come on! - Yeah! I'm really thirsty. [Both laugh] Come on! Come on, darling. Come on. Whoo! Hey. You think they're fucking kidding? Yeah! We're not fucking kidding. Hey. I got it. Good. [Echoing] Are you ready? Fuck those guys. I got it. Are you ready? - What did you find? - That safe is 100% electronic. Means you punch in the wrong code more than three times, the house alarm will go off. Is there any way we can fix that? I can cut the power, short-circuit the alarm. Unh, yeah, I confess, Father, I confess 'Cause I've been living wrong I know I've been blessed I-I had a thousand chances How many left? I-I-I've been sinning lately What do you suggest? What should I do? [Singing operatically] I would fuck her in the pussy I would take her in the pussy [Singing operatically] What's up, my brother? Welcome to the partay. I brought your drinks. Oh, I see that. So you and blondie... You and blondie, like... - What? - You sticking her? Huh? I bet you beat that pussy up real good, man. Fuck. If I had a girl like that, I'd split her in half. [Laughs] Holy Mary, pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of death Amen Yo, come on, man. You want a bump? You want a bump of cocaine? Right? Want a bump? Want a bump of cocaine? Come on. Let's have one. Right here. It's fucking good, Jeremy. I'm good. I want 999 Hail Marys right now I want 999 Hail Marys right now I'm sorry for my friends. They're harmless, really. - Wouldn't hurt a fly. - See? But you got yourself a good-looking girl. I'd take really good care of her if I were you. Heh. [Laughing] [Exhales sharply] Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo! [Both laughing] I will admit, the Devil's been pulling me Tell Mama to write up my eulogy 'Cause there's no telling what they gonna do to me Grant no immunity... What should I do now? Holy Mary, Mary - Pray for us sinners - I'd fuck that shit up! Now and at the hour of death Amen Holy Mary, pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of death Amen We've got to cut the power. It's all upstairs. Okay, wait in here in case they need something. Okay. Be careful. [Both laugh] This is a special night... ...for all of you. For us. I look around this table... Ahh, Becca. Sweet Rebecca. Look how far you've come. And Jeremy and Cameron. Blood brothers, to coin a phrase. [Chuckles] And Oliver, do you remember the first time you sat across from me? The tears. Oh, my God, I thought you were going to die of dehydration. [Laughter] But look at you now, rosy cheeks beaming. And who can forget our hosts? You four have come a long way. You've all graduated. But beyond the walls of your tutelage, there's been learning and work beyond what I can teach. Learning about yourselves. Patrick. Would you care to start us off tonight? My name is Patrick Dawson. And I'm an addict. - Hello, Patrick. - Hello, Patrick. Hey, Dad. It's been four years and three weeks since the last time I, um... [Clears throat] [Sighs] I can't believe it. Anyway. I've learned to redirect my energy into other things. Into work. Exercise. Sex. For me, it's really about my family. [Clears throat] Do you miss it? [Sighs] Oh. Hey. Can I get you something? Okay. Tonight is a night of celebration, of speeches, of mourning and reflection. I... ...look around the table, and I'm in awe. Of all of us. I can't... can't find the... the words to express how I feel, so I have prepared a little something. Are you serious? I haven't done this, so please bear with me. [Chuckles] [Cackling] Was this you? Did you break my fucking... Did you break my fucking guitar?! - Oliver. - You piece of shit! - Oliver. - What's so fucking funny, huh? Huh? Look at me. Look at me! - Obviously... - Did you fucking do it? You do not want to fuck with me. You do not want to fuck with me! Please. You've been fucking with me the whole night. - Oliver. - I will fuck you up. [Snorts] I'm... I'm sorry. [Chuckles] I... I'm sorry. Just, uh... [Chuckles] Uh... [Laughs] [Laughing] What are you laughing about? - Fuck. - Fuck what? It looks like it's on some kind of automated loop. I can cut the power, but I can only do it for, I don't know, two-minute intervals before it restarts itself. Okay, man, look, you're gonna have to be in here and keep resetting it... - No, no, no, no. - Look, man, it's simple. You press this button when that light goes green. It's fucking simple. Circuit's only connected to the master bedroom, so we're good. Okay. Casper? [Inhales sharply] - What were you doing? - Heh. Oh, uh, I was... I was just looking for the bathroom. You forgot where it was already? Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just chose the wrong door. - It's the next one, right? - It's all good. Come on. I said, come on. It's right down here, man. Thanks. What's your, uh... What's your girl's name again? Iris. Whoa. I bet you break that dick off in her ass, huh? Man, what the fuck is your problem? My name is Roxanne Dawson, and, like all of you, I'm an addict. - Hello, Roxanne. - Hello, Roxanne. Oh. Man, I'm... I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I was just kidding. Okay, so are you gonna go, or are you gonna watch me piss? I got to watch. I'm your P.O. You've been a bad boy. It's been a long and arduous battle for me... - I'm gonna leave. - Wait. Can I see your hand for a second? No, you cannot see my hand for a second. Come on. ...with demons... - I said please. - Don't touch my hand. - Let me see your hand. - Get off my hand. Let me see your hand. ...with monsters... ...inside and out. And unlike my husband, I miss it. I miss the way it snaps everything... everything... into focus. [Screams] I miss the way it makes you see the world. How small we are. Tiny specks of dust. But here I am... ...a functioning member of society. [Cackling] We're not in prison. We're not in hiding. And when I see my children's smiling faces... ...that's what gets me through the truly, truly tough days. [Alarm blaring] - Patrick? - Wait here. Everybody stay here. We'll be right back. Wait there. Is it Elliot? Elliot? Elliot, come out here, please. What did you do, son? I had to let it out. I can see that. What did you do? What did you do?! God damn it! - Hey. - God damn it! - Get off! - Come on, come on... - Get off of me! - It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. He promised. It's okay. It's okay. Is everything all right? - Oh, no. - Shit. Miss Dawson? [Screaming] - They killed Dodge! - Iris! Iris! [Indistinct shouting] - Get off me! - Hey! - Come here. - Don't hurt her! Get off! Hey! Hey! Patrick! Enough! Don't hurt her! Listen to me! Remember your lessons! [Indistinct shouting] Patrick! - Elliot, stop! - Stay back! [Indistinct shouting] [Crack] [Banging on door] [Laughing] Oh, damn! What you gonna do, huh? Oh, look at you. You're fucking beautiful, aren't you? - Huh? - Fuck you. Oh. Fuck! Not the fucking face! [Both grunting] Come... Huh?! [Moaning] - Come here! - No! Fuck! Fucker! Fuck off! Patrick. Calm yourself. Are we gonna shut this thing down or what? Is this what you wanted? Were you just a thirsty little bitch in heat? Well, then drink up, you relapsing little shit. You haven't learned anything. You didn't even try. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you So please don't take my sunshine away Ah. Iris, are you in there? Hmm? Hey, princess? - She locking that door? - Yeah. Hey, hey, hey... Come on, sweetheart. [Banging on door] You think we got all day? Breathe. We're gonna get to you in there. We got this. Get the fuck out here, bitch! Go! Open the fucking door! [Sobbing] Hey, beautiful? We just want to cut your fucking face off, okay? - [Laughing] - That's all. Is it such a big deal? Why won't she open the fucking door? What were you thinking? What do you mean, what was I thinking? Those kids aren't leaving this house alive, Milo. And who got ass-fucked and made you leader all of a sudden? Know your place, Patrick. I'm still the head of this family and the owner of this house. [Chuckles] The only reason you're living to good life in sunny-bunny Malibu and not rotting away in some maximum-security prison with come dripping out of your ass is because of me. Don't you ever forget that. Be a man, not a fucking chimp. Milo, what should we do about the kid in the bedroom? I'll have a word with him. You stay here and control your husband and son. Alexis, my dear, I need you to go downstairs and make sure those two idiots don't do something they'll regret. Honey... Calm down. Okay? [Screaming echoes in distance] [Knock on door] Young man, would you mind coming to the door so that we might be able to start sorting this out? Where's Iris? Oh, she's downstairs. Locked away in another room, I'm sure. You killed Dodge. Trust me, we are more sorry about it than you are. You see... ...I run a society of recovering murderers, and tonight was supposed to be an annual reunion to celebrate everyone's cleanness. But needless to say, that idea shit the bed. Now... and hear me now, for both of our sakes... my only goal here is to avoid any further bloodshed. You understand, yes? Then let us go. Well, yes, let's talk about that. Now, you say you want us to let you go, but what's to stop you from turning around and calling the police? I just want to go home, man. Just want to go home. Hmm... Here, kitty-kitty. Here, kitty-kitty. [Meows] - Iris. - Please go away. Please go away. Guys? Why don't you fuck the fuck off? Why don't you fucking make us, huh, baby face? [Grunts] Oh! Fuck off. Hey. It's Iris, right? Where's Casper? They're talking upstairs. [Sniffles] Iris? I'm gonna try and get us out of here. I'd be willing to, well, to settle on some kind of agreement. Say in the vein of, oh, $10,000? You butcher my friend. You want me to settle for 10 grand? Fuck that. $100,000. Hmm. I'd imagine that'll be fine. It will take some time to get that in order, though. Just stay put. What are you doing? Leveraging. $100,000? Are you out of your mind? It's just to get him calm and out of that room. Then what? We'll give them a strong narcotic, something significant. Then they can begin a junkie's life in earnest. - So you let them leave? - They'll get arrested. They'll be babbling out of their minds. I'll pull some strings to have them transferred to the facility. It's the only way. No. It's not the only way. The only way. We're not animals. Aren't we? Iris, the boys are gone. Back up. I'm not gonna hurt you. Why should I trust you? Because you have to. Come, come. - [Beeping] - Hey! What the fuck is this? They're trying to escape. Fuckers! Okay. Roxanne, go watch the kid. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Move. - What? - Fucking move! Hey, be careful where you point that thing, all right? - Go. Go. - Seriously. Okay. [Gasping] Get your fucking hands off of me! Think about what you're doing, son. We... Jeremy, that's enough! Jeremy, stop! Jeremy, I... Jeremy. Jeremy. Jeremy, stop! Hey! Let her go. I swear to God I'll blow her fucking head off if you don't let her go. Son, put the gun down. Aaah! Enough! Attaboy. I said that's enough! [Groaning] Not the face! [Moans] N-No, no, no, no. Patrick? Put it down, Patrick. No more killing! No! Get fucking off! Come on. Fuck. [Beeping] I love this thing. [Footsteps] I've been sober for six years, Patrick. You still are. This was all us. This was all of us. Milo always... Milo was a preening cult leader who can choke on his goddamn smugness, and you know it, so don't play that fucking card with me! Sweetheart. Sweetheart. I'm ready to make the Dawsons great again. That's Elliot's. Lucky us. Why are you helping us? 'Cause you're not the only ones who want out. Why didn't you just leave? It's a fucked-up situation. And I'm not gonna try to get you guys to understand it. Iris, go grab a couple of my dad's golf clubs. What's gonna happen? The windows are shuttered because you guys set the alarm off, but my dad's gonna reset it, and that's your only chance to get the fuck out of this freak show. What about you? They're gonna want to keep me, but if push comes to shove, they'll kill us all. [Retching] Hey, hey. Iris. Iris, listen. Breathe, okay? I know, I know. Just deep breaths. Look at me. I know, I know. But we're gonna make it out, I promise. I promise. I promise. Just breathe, okay? She's two months pregnant. We got to get her out of here. We will. Dad? Your sister... ...has been a bad girl. I had completely forgotten I put him down there. [Classical music-box music plays] You know what they call that, son? Hmm? Serendipity. [Laughs] Alexis, honey? There's no need for this. I know that we've all had our differences, and I know it's... ...been hard for you to adapt to this family, but I've always appreciated that you've tried. So in that spirit, why... ...why don't you come on out? Leave the other two. Just come on out. Okay. Just remember, we always loved you. We felt like you were... ...one of us... ...despite our differences. That's all for now. [Classical music-box music plays] What is that? What the fuck is that?! [Footsteps] [Roars] No. No, no, no, no. Dad! Patrick! - Dad! - No! - Dad! - Patrick! Ah! Oh, my God! - Oh... - Please stop. - Mommy... - [Roars] Good night and God bless! [Horn honks] That's Mickey. Oh. This can't be happening. No time for emotions. How the fuck are we gonna end this? Right now. Oh, shit. Daddy! No. Please. Darling... It didn't have to be like this. These kids aren't like us. You're a Dawson. You always have been, always will be. We can be a real family again. [Groaning softly] Daddy? No time for emotions. [Child choir vocalizing] [Chainsaw buzzing] Run! [Whooping] [Laughs] Die! Die! Fucking die! Casper, look out! What the fuck? [Groans] We're gonna play a game. For one of you, this is gonna be an awakening. Good morning! For the other, this is gonna be a permanent fucking vacation. One-way trip, bitch! You have one minute. If neither of you has cut each other's fucking rope after one minute, I'll kill you both. [Ticking] Good luck. - Go. - Okay. Okay. Okay, Alexis, look at me. Look at him. Don't do this. Please... Please, don't fucking do this, Alexis, please! - Just shut the fuck up, Casper! - Y'all got 30 fucking seconds. You're not like him. You're not like any of them. 20 seconds, bitch! Come on, Alexis! Please, please don't fucking do this! Please! Fuck! Please don't fucking do this! Please! Seven, six, - five, four... - Fuck you. - Please don't do this. - ...three, two... [Laughs] Holy fucking shit! You're next, bitch! [Rope whips] [Coughing] What's it going to take for you to forget all this? $100,000. And one of your cars. Okay. Withdrawal can be a real bitch. Aah! Happy Sunday. [Engine revs] I'm gonna give you the Molly. Just... [Nicky Blitz's "Hawk" plays] Hang on a sec. Had a rough night, there, samurai? [Gasping] [Cracking] [Women screaming] What the fuck are you doing?! Baby, I know I like to fly in the dark Mmm, baby And I'll even... B-B-Bark, b-bark No! No! I'm just rolling around B-Big bad wolf Back with a vengeance Why does it feel this good?
