[ Guitar music ]
[ Maude Maggart singing 'When I Lost You' by Irving Berlin ] I lost the sunshine And roses I lost the heavens of blue I lost the beautiful rainbow I lost the morning dew I lost the angel who gave me Summer The whole winter through I lost the gladness It turned into sadness When I lost you [ Tire blows out ] pow! >> Fr...! [ Turns off music ] Click Bro! Sorry. >> You okay? >> He told me he... I thought he wanted me. >> He's no good for you. >> You were good for me. And I didn't appreciate it. Sorry. Sorry. Ssoorrryy. Sorry. >> What is it? >> Nothing. It's just a flat. I'm on top of it. >> My hero. [ They scream ] [ Tires pop ] pow! pow! [ something clambers across the roof ] [ they scream ] [ Tire pops ] pow! [ something runs away ] [ gasping from outside ] >> Don't go out there! [ Gasping ] gasping ] gasping ] gasping ] >> Don't pull it out! You can cause massive pharyngeal hemorrhage. You could drown in your own blood. You're going to be okay, we just need to get you to an emergency room. Apply direct pressure, gently. Stay still. I'll be right back. I'm going to get you to the car. >> Yes, come here now! [ A rustle from the forest ] >> We need to bring him to an emergency room. >> W-we can drive. Yeah, we can drive without tires. >> Hey -- stay still. [ Inhuman shrieking from the forest ] eeeeeyyyyy aa-aaaaaaaarrrrr! Yaaaaarrrrr! >> Wait! Come here! Come here! Hey! Please! >> Look -- it's a poem. Nor death nor further harm is there to dread if she should choose to join me in his stead. [ Inhuman shrieking ] eeeeeyyyyyaa aa-aaaaaarrrrraaaa! >> What is that? >> Come on, we've got to go find him. >> You're crazy. >> What? He's your brother. You don't want to help him? >> Course I want to help him, but I have to be alive to help him! I mean h-he's a professional killing machine, and he... No, we go and we come back with cops and guns, that is the best way to help him. >> What do you think? >> This isn't for the three of us to deal with. >> See? >> Okay, cops and guns. >> Yeah. There are call boxes up and down this road, I-I've seen them everywhere. >> Where was the last one? >> I don't know, but we are probably close to the next one. I won't let you go out there. She did so not just faint! She okay? >> Yeah. I think so. Help me get her in the truck. Come on. All right, we need to get help. [ Ignition sputtering ] >> Come on. Frickin... [ sputtering continues ] >> We should've gone after him together, all three of us. >> Sh-she just took off by herself? >> Mmm hmm. >> That's crazy! I won't let you go out there, whatever I have to do! We agreed we would go get help. If you want to help them, we need help. Come on. You're not going out there without me. Bet whatever's out there's more dangerous than a ski, but, uh, beats just going out there to die. Okay. Come -- on. [ Cries out ] >> Ahh! Shit. [ Wind howling ] distant rumbling ] Where are you? [ She screams ] [ Rattling ] [ engine revving ] >> I-I-If I were running toward a cliff blindfolded, and the only way you could stop me was to sucker-punch me...! >> Go back to the car. >> Oh please, you won't be able to help -- >> I will! >> You are so freaking cocky. I mean, how do you even know -- >> Go back to the car, I don't want you to get hurt. >> N-N-N-No... >> Go. Go! >> Please! >> I said go back! >> Wait! >> Please! >> Shh! Shh! [ Footsteps rustling ] [ getting closer, faster ] a distant scream ] [ a female crying out in pain ] [ trying to call out ] >> Eh -- eh --! [ Fabric tears ] [ Footsteps running away ] inhuman shrieking ] [ fading into the distance ] >> Are you okay? [ Footsteps running past ] distant rumbling ] >> Oh! You okay? You okay? [ The creature grunts in pain ] >> No! Stop. Stop! >> I'm sorry. Please, sit up. The wound must stay below your heart. The -- the snakebite. [ Footsteps running away ] footsteps rustle past ] Oh! Oh, oh please, you -- You mustn't stand. The -- the sting you suffered had but little venom -- Still, you need to rest. >> My hero. >> I'm overwhelmed to find that after all this time you still allow that rose to blossom 'round your waist. >> Reminds me of you. Times when we were happy. Where you going? >> I forgot how hideous I am 'til I again found you -- A sunbeam, birdsong, drop of dew and I an animal. >> You're not an animal. >> I wish I were. >> You've been living out here in the forest for seven years? >> Was it only seven years? >> Must be lonely. >> I'd reign forever in this underworld without the slightest need for human interaction were it not for your existence, my Persephone. >> That's sweet. >> Now you've come to me, I'll give you anything your heart desires if -- If you'll only stay. >> Happily ever after? This is no fairytale. >> The characters in fairytales don't ever know that they're in fairytales. >> What my heart desires right now is to know where my boyfriend is. >> Your boyfriend. If he loved with all the powers of his puny being, he could never love as much in eighty years as I could in a day. >> No, you've got him wrong, he's a good guy. This weekend he asked me to marry him. I said no. I could never love in eighty years like he could in a day. >> His connection with you is as transitory as a serpent's bite. A rose, though fragile, rooted deeply never dies. >> Where is he? >> I'll take you to him after you have rested. >> Oh he's hurt, he needs a doctor! >> I'll see he gets the help he needs -- Now that you've come to me, I'm sorry to have harmed him. >> You could've killed him. >> I'm sorry. Seeing him with you, it made me... There's always some madness in love. >> So -- so if I make you mad, you're -- you'll hurt me? >> I could never cause you harm. [ Inhuman shriek ] >> What is that? >> The isle is full of noises -- Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices that, if I then had waked from long sleep, will make me sleep again. And then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me, that, when I waked, I cried to dream again. I've never used this table, waiting for this night. >> My mind is not on eating right now. >> I'd never force you into anything. My only longing is to be allowed a chance to give you happiness. >> Want you to be happy too. But making me stay here...? >> Do you think you're captured in a web of mine, or have you captured me? >> That is the cheesiest line ever. >> Marry me. >> What's for dinner? [ Footsteps walking away ] a rustle in the trees ] I wanted a better look at the paintings. They're beautiful. >> They're nothing next to you, my muse. The food may not look pretty, but its flavor more than makes amends. >> What is it? >> Try it. It's food the forest best provides -- a salad. >> It's good. Pecans? >> No. >> Tastes like pecans. Thank you for this. >> How's our cupid? >> He's starting to slow down. The fur around his snout is gray. Looks like muttonchops. It's cute. He still seems happy. I don't wanna lose him. >> Oh -- the cougar's not a danger! He -- he -- he's my friend. You'll learn to love it here, and love him too. While I provide the conversation, he is -- Better looking. >> First let me see my boyfriend. I need to know he's not dead. >> You said you didn't love him anyway. >> I said I didn't want to marry him. Please. I keep falling for you. >> I promise, after you have rested, I'll take you to him. And we'll take him to a hospital. >> Okay. Pretty hands. >> Careful. Come -- and see how pretty forest life can be. I've prepared a place for you. I wanted every facet to be perfect. >> Why don't you come back with me? You make amazing things. Instead of trying to get me to stay here, why don't you come back with me? >> They'd put me in a cage. >> Not if they knew you the way I did. Will you show me more? Wanna see how you live. >> After you have rested. >> I haven't seen you in seven years. Wanna know who you are now. What's up there? Does that lead up there? >> Wait. >> It's my father's. >> Yes. But taking it was nothing. Stealing you from me was far the greater crime. >> He was afraid you might accidentally hurt me. You said yourself you were afraid of that too. >> I know. >> This is where you get your water? >> I'm sorry -- For the pain I've caused you. You had pain enough without me bringing more. I understand what you've been going through. I can empathize. You love her like I do? Though rivals, you're as powerless as I to stop yourself. As powerless as is the moon to stop revolving 'round the earth. I won't pretend I'll let her go without first trying everything I can to earn her love, but, so you know, she's safely sleeping and will -- >> Please, let's go, both of us, please. >> We will. All of us. >> Let's go to a call box. >> Where? That eerie shriek was just a mountain lion. >> Just! >> Mountain lions generally avoid humans. >> No, that mountain lion was stalking us! >> The overwhelming majority of accidents in the wilderness come from tripping and falling. Mountain lions do not stalk people. >> Everything you know came out of a book. I-I don't think the mountain lion has your library card! What about that thing in the pictures? >> That thing knows her -- Or knew her at some point, and it probably -- >> How could that thing know her? >> It's not a thing! It's a person. I mean it's a malformed person, but... You know the Elephant Man? >> Why, did he say something about me? >> Look, whatever's out there is not a monster. He's not a monster, he's a person. Who knows, maybe he can... I know what to do. Go back to the car! >> You're crazy! H-Her clothes were shredded, th-they were covered with blood! I-If that's a person, what made... I mean, what kind... What is that thing?! >> You were my first friend. I used to have nightmares about monsters. And you scared the monsters away. Now you're scaring me. >> At this moment, couples under orange groves or by the banks of rivers lie together holding hands and counting stars. But me -- I'm frightening the only one I'll ever love. >> You -- You used to sing to me. Remember? >> It went zip when it moved And bop when it stopped Whirr when it stood still >> I never knew Just what it was -- I guess I never will >> Your father sang that song to me, so I sang it to you. >> I'm your Persephone. Persephone stayed with Hades only part of every year. I need to return to my world. I promise I will return to you. >> You're conning me. And I don't blame you. Let's get you to cover. >> We need to get him to cover. We need to get him to a hospital, we... He'll catch hypothermia. He'll die. >> It would be dangerous to try to move him in his -- Injured state. >> You said you would get him to a hospital. How were you gonna do that? >> I'll make a cart to carry him -- a trailer -- and attach it to the Harley. First I'll make a shelter that will keep him warm and dry. >> Why not build the trailer now? Instead of first building a shelter and then a trailer? >> The trailer will take longer. Trust me? >> Do what you have to do. [ Rocks crumbling and sliding ] here are you? An't find you. >> Stay where you are -- I'll find you! >> Please help me. >> Are you up there? Don't move, and I'll come for you. And I'll let you go, for -- For part of every year, just like Persephone and Hades. Please just promise that you'll return? Careful! All I -- I want for you to know is that I -- [ footsteps closing in ] Tell me what she sees in you that's not in me. Oh, yes -- you're not disgustingly deformed. [ Male screaming ] >> Oh no! No! Stop it! No! No! Stop it! >> Will you still love him... >> Stop it! >> ...when he's hideous as I? Will you still love him more than me... >> Stop it! >> ...when he's as hideous? [ Male screaming continues ] >> Stop! Please stop! Stop! Please -- Please don't hurt him anymore. I'll stay with you. Just don't hurt him anymore. I'll stay with you. >> What happened? Look at me. Baby -- one of your eyes, uh, th-the pupil's big, but -- the other one's, uh... >> H-Hemorrhage. Fr-Fr-From when... >> I didn't hit you that hard. I-I-I-I didn't hit you that hard. >> Shh. Just let me look at you. >> You're fine. Okay? You're gonna be fine. >> I'm sorry. >> No! >> I sh-shouldn't have dragged you into this. >> Fine, you're gonna be fine. >> I should've... >> We're gonna get out of here, okay? >> Okay. I'm so -- I'm so sorry. >> No. No. Come on, stay with me. Can you hear me? >> I'll stay with you. >> Can you -- can you hear me? >> I'll stay with you. >> You're gonna be fine. Stay awake! Come on, stay awake! Come on, wake up. Come on! Come on! Come on. Wake... S-Somebody -- somebody help! Come on... >> I was there first. I loved you first. Where was he, when -- When I would sing to you? When I would make the nightmares go away? You once told me you loved me. >> We were little kids. I loved you like a stuffed animal. >> You gave your love to me, and now -- you've tried to kill me. >> The only reason you think you love me -- I'm the only girl that's ever talked to you. If it were somebody else, that somebody else would be the only girl you'll ever love! >> We were meant to be together. I've been -- I've been waiting, knowing you would come. You think your coming here was a coincidence? Our love has led you back to me. The world you left behind could never make you truly happy. Look behind this! Look inside. You think I choose to horrify? I didn't ask to be a monster! >> I didn't ask to be here. Don't talk to me about asking for things! I begged you to stop while you tortured him. He didn't do anything. How could you...? >> I picked up the weapon with which I was wounded. >> That's what makes you a monster. Please let us go. Nothing you've done is undoable yet. >> But... >> Please. >> But no matter what I do, you'll -- you'll never love me. Lovers all through history have come in many categories -- Some seductive, oth -- others forceful -- Some poetic, others blunt. I've loved you every way I know! I should have -- Would have killed myself so long ago but for the hope of seeing you again. Oh, you'll call me mad, but will you dance with me? I will not touch you, we'll just dance together, near each other -- >> Get away! >> As you said, there's nothing that I've done, however horrible, that can't be yet undone. It's -- it's not too late for us to have a happy ending, even if it's not the ending of which I've dreamt. Apply this to his wounds to help them heal. >> You're letting me go to him by myself? >> I trust you. Without you I would not exist. >> Come on. Come on. >> No...! >> Let me go! Leave me alone! Please! Please! >> [ Sobbing ] It's a dead end. Follow that way for a quarter mile. There's a call box. I'll tell her to follow you. [ She screams ] Wake up. [ Screaming in anguish ] I'll take you home -- Take you home. Just rest. Just rest. You're so beautiful. [ Morning birds warbling ] When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy My father homeward came one Night -- he gave me a toy A wonder to behold it was With many colors bright The moment I laid eyes on it It became my heart's delight It went zip when it moved -- Bop when it stopped -- Whirr when it stood still I -- I, uh -- I'll...
