[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
Grab your hunting pack, we're leaving at 0700.
[MUSIC]
This view never gets old, does it?
No matter how many times you see it.
[MUSIC]
Don't go anywhere near those.
These are death cat mushrooms, an A-main kid.
You need one of those, you'll be wearing a toe tag real quick.
Unless someone's got a brand new liver line around for you.
[MUSIC]
Blake, did you hear what I just said?
Yes, sir.
What did I say?
Don't eat the mushrooms.
What are they called?
[MUSIC]
See, this is what I'm talking about, you're not hearing me.
You're off in your own goddamn world somewhere.
This place is beautiful, it's also dangerous.
You can survive if you know exactly what to do.
Yes, sir.
[MUSIC]
People get taken from you like that.
[MUSIC]
It's not hard to die, it's the easiest thing in the world.
We are all inches away from it.
Now I'm not always gonna be around to watch over you,
but I'm gonna make damn sure that you know how to survive
is--
[MUSIC]
Blake?
[MUSIC]
Blake?
[MUSIC]
You know you need to stay near me.
You're fucking next to me, boy.
If you don't do what I say, you get hurt.
Do you want to get hurt?
No, sir.
I don't.
I just--I wanted to get a better shot at the deer.
[MUSIC]
Get up in that deer blind.
[MUSIC]
Now.
[MUSIC]
Come here, Harris.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC] Dan, I saw it.
So what?
You know what I'm talking about.
That hiker, the face of the wolf.
Dan, it's real.
I had it in my scope.
I almost shot it.
Grady, where's the point?
I'm going up that mountain after dark.
Looking for something that doesn't want to be found.
I wasn't looking for it.
I was hunting deer down by the river.
And it came after my boy.
I'm gonna get it, Dan.
And you gotta come with me.
Don't you want to keep your boy safe?
[MUSIC]
Can we get some ice cream?
Please, please, please, please, please, please.
I got you a hot chocolate at the museum.
That's not a dessert.
That's a drink.
Oh, I think it's dessert, Missy.
Whoa, did you know you're the best dad in the whole world?
Yeah, I'm sure the timing of that has nothing to do with the ice cream.
It doesn't.
I just wanted to tell you.
I'm serious.
This feels very transactional.
I don't know what that means.
Hey, get down.
Ginger, get down right now.
Okay, that's it.
No ice cream in three, two, one.
No, the dog don't jump off the motherfucking leash.
Hey, hey, hey.
I told you to get down.
Why didn't you listen to me, damn it?
Why didn't you listen to me?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I lost my temper.
That's not me.
I don't want to be like that.
I just need you to listen when I tell you something.
So what's my job?
To keep your daughter safe.
Yeah, that's right.
And what's your job?
To read minds.
Can you guess what I'm thinking right now?
I love my little girl.
That's amazing.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
How do you do that every time?
You're so good at your job.
Pat, I'm sorry you scared me, okay?
You owe me a dollar.
Why?
Because you squared.
No, I didn't.
You're hearing things.
I'm not, Daddy, you squared.
Okay, now let me put some on you.
Oh, my God.
Okay, do it quickly.
You got it?
Good?
Yeah.
How's this?
You look creepy.
You mean like this?
You like this, Ginger?
[gurgling]
No, yeah, no, I get that.
Okay, go sit at the table.
No, but I have a second's worse.
Well, are you gonna ship it, or are you gonna let the time scoop us again?
I'm not.
Well, so we have a deal then.
But this is bullshit.
You've never asked for this before.
In the time it takes to do all of this, we could have gotten ahead of everything,
but I just don't think we need to do it.
I promised from now on, can I just get it online?
Take that in the other room.
Are you doing it or not?
Charlotte, can you take that in the other room?
Listen, I know what I'm doing.
You know I know, because you taught me how to do it.
Bye, Charlotte.
Okay, bye.
[sighs]
Can you, um, can you not do that, please?
What did I do?
I was having an important conversation with my editor.
Yeah, because you're the only one that has important stuff going on, right?
I'm not busy at all.
If I ever have kids, I'm never gonna find in front of them.
We're not fighting, honey. We're having a spirited exchange.
Okay.
So, um...
I just found out my dad has been finally declared deceased.
Officially. By the state of Oregon.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
How do you feel?
I mean, we knew this letter was coming one day.
But the finality of it...
Yeah, I don't know. It's still shocking.
Yeah.
Are you sad, Daddy?
[sighs]
I am, yeah.
I'm sad about a lot of things. I wish I'd known him better.
But he always made me afraid of him.
So, as soon as I was old enough, I left.
We hadn't spoken in a long time. Because I chose not to.
And now that I can't speak to him...
I suddenly want to.
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me.
[door creaks]
[chuckles]
I'll catch up with you guys later. Yeah.
Hey.
This is a surprise.
I brought you some lunch.
Thank you.
We haven't done this in a while.
Yeah.
[door creaks]
Are you happy, Charlotte?
Yeah.
Are you? Why are you asking me that?
Because I don't think we're doing well right now.
I came here because...
when I got that letter...
it dawned on me...
that you and Ginger are the only family that I have left.
We have such a short amount of time with people.
I just want us to enjoy each other...
and try to be happy as a family while we are here.
I want to be happy, too, but...
I was thinking you should come up to Oregon with me.
I have to go up there and pack up all my dad's stuff in a truck.
Why don't we all go together?
You spend the whole summer up there.
I think it'll be good for us.
It really is stunning.
There's this valley not far from the farm.
It's between these mountains.
And no matter how many times you see it...
the view makes you feel like everything's gonna be okay.
I want you and Ginger to see it.
It sounds nice, but I can't just leave work.
Yeah, but you can work remotely.
Just take some time off.
Ginger would love that. You can spend some time with her.
You can work on your book.
Yeah, I don't...
I don't even know if I'm good at that anymore.
You were a great writer. Come on.
I meant at spending time with my daughter.
She...
She relates to you so much more than me.
You are an incredible mother.
You are.
Come with me.
[music]
Okay, I got one.
Do you live in water?
Nope.
Okay.
Do you live in the forest?
Sometimes.
Can you fly?
Nope.
Do you walk on four legs?
Yes.
Yeah?
Oh, are you a deer?
No.
Are you a bear?
No.
Are you a dog?
No.
I just don't know what the answer is.
I know. I'm a fawn.
A fawn?
What? I said deer.
A fawn is not a deer.
It's literally a baby deer.
It's not.
And fawns live in the forest. Hello.
They do sometimes, but sometimes they're in people's backyards.
What? That's... Oh, you are a cheater.
You know what?
Daddy, stop.
Mommy, Daddy, I'm a jerk.
Hey, I can be just as immature as you can.
Mommy, Mommy, stop.
Mommy, stop.
Please, Mommy, stop it.
Please, Mommy, stop.
Wait. Is this it?
Shit.
Dad.
Sorry, honey. Shivers.
Let me check the map here.
I have no service.
Me either.
This does look familiar, though.
Lizzie.
There's someone in that treehouse.
Where?
Over there.
She's right. There's someone inside that thing.
Oh.
Let's go, Blake.
No, it's okay.
No, he has a gun.
Carolyn, everyone around here has a gun.
Can you just please drive?
evening.
Hey.
Where are you guys headed?
I'm looking for my dad's farm.
I just... I haven't been up here in a while.
I forgot. Who's your dad? He's right here. He's right here. He's right here. He's right here. I've been up here in a while. I forgot.
Who's your dad?
Grady.
Lovell.
You've been gone a long time, Blake.
Wait. Do I know you?
I'm Derek. I'm Dan Keel's son.
Right.
Oh, Derek.
Shit.
Wow.
Sorry.
Yeah, no, I remember you.
How are you? It's good to see you.
Not many of us left living up here anymore.
Not really a part of the world.
Yeah, I agree with that.
You may not remember this, but for the most part,
we don't like to be out after dark on the mountain.
There's no power grid, no lights.
Oh, I thought that was just my dad.
You know, I'm actually a little lost.
You know, I was sure that this was his driveway.
It's not.
Really?
It's mine.
Oh.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, sorry.
The usual road to Grady's is cut off.
I'll take you there.
Get yourself a thing quicker.
Okay.
What? No, no, absolutely not.
It's fine.
No, please.
Can't he just tell us where it is?
He's standing now.
Just open the door, Charlotte.
Oh, my God.
Stop.
Hey, hi.
No, no, no, it's okay.
I'll just go to the back.
Make a move.
Watch your feet.
Just go straight on a ways.
Hey there, cutie.
Uh, Derek, it's Ginger and my wife, Charlotte.
Hey.
How long you planning on staying?
Not too long.
A little while.
I mean, it's definitely an acquired taste.
There are things you have to come to terms with up here.
Animals.
Diseases.
Well, we're pretty tough people.
Is that so?
To me, you don't seem so tough.
That's a good thing.
It means you got a good life.
You're healthy, safe.
Your dad's place is just up ahead.
What do you do for a living, Blake?
I'm a writer.
I'm between jobs right now, though.
So, I'm a dad.
To that monster in the back.
I'm a journalist.
I bet you look at them every day and wonder how you
got so lucky to have such a smart and beautiful family.
I do.
Ginger? Are you okay?
Charlotte, are you okay?
Hey, are you hurt?
Anyone?
Charlotte, are you hurt?
Derek, are you okay?
Hey, hey, no, no, no!
Oh, shit!
Okay, we have to get out of this thing.
Ginger, Ginger, Ginger, look at me.
You gotta climb through the window.
Look at me, Ginger.
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct chatter] Just stay right there. Just sit right there, honey.
Just stand there, honey. Mommy's coming.
Charlotte, go.
Are you okay?
Stay right there. I'm coming.
Hey.
[indistinct chatter]
[panting]
[grunting]
Okay.
We gotta get down. Wait here.
Come on. Ginger, honey, you have to go. Come on. I'm gonna catch you.
Okay. All right, Charlotte, come on.
Are you okay? Yeah? Ginger, are you hurt at all?
No. Come on. You gotta go. You have to find the house.
Watch your step. You gotta move quick.
Come on.
Careful, honey. Careful.
Kenny, I'm tired. What?
I can't go. Okay.
Charlotte.
[grunting]
Quick.
Come on.
Come on. I recognize this. We're close.
Put you down here. Okay.
Give me your hand.
Come on.
Careful. Come on.
This is it.
Run.
Run, honey.
Go, honey.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
[screaming]
Get down here.
[grunting]
[grunting] Get in.
[grunting]
Stay right here. I'll be right back.
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. Stay with the mama.
[grunting] [music playing]
[grunting]
[panting]
Shh.
Daddy.
Hi.
It's okay.
I'm safe.
I'm gonna go home.
I know.
We will.
We just can't go outside right now. Lay down.
We just have to wait until the morning.
Okay?
[crickets chirping]
[music playing]
Don't go anymore. Shh. Okay. Okay.
We're going anywhere. I'll be right here. Right here.
[sighs]
Is that man dead?
Man, he came out of the treehouse.
I don't know.
Most likely he did die.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you.
It's my job to protect you.
And I didn't.
I put you through something very scary.
And I'd never be able to forgive myself
if this stayed with you.
You know, if it scarred you.
And sometimes when you're a daddy,
you're so scared of your kids getting scars,
and you become that thing that scars.
And what am I thinking right now?
I love my little girl.
That's incredible.
You must be able to read minds because
that's exactly what I was thinking.
Word for word.
Okay.
I love you. I'll be right here.
Remember, that's my job.
Not for the ladies in the afternoon.
I think we should, um,
I think we should cover the front door,
because if that thing,
if it keeps trying to get in,
the whole door can come off the hinges.
Or was it?
What?
What the fuck was that thing like?
I don't know.
I know, it sounded like an animal.
But I looked right at it when we almost hit it.
And I swear to God,
it was standing up on two feet,
like a person.
Blake.
[door creaks]
Is that gonna hold?
Maybe.
I think we should try to call somebody for help.
How?
[phone rings]
Hello?
Test.
Hello, this is level 819.
Did anyone hear me?
Hello?
Help?
[sniffs]
Jesus, what is that smell?
Hmm? What? What did you say?
[phone rings]
Hello?
Oh, I found somebody to eat.
My dad's jerky.
[chuckles]
Mmm.
My jar, it must have hit on the steering wheel.
Oh, fuck.
[chuckles]
[door slams]
Here.
Oh, my God. Okay, come on. Sit down.
Just, it's okay.
Just lift your arm.
God.
I think I cut it on the window.
On the truck.
I don't know. This doesn't look like you got cut by glass.
Okay. Okay. Um...
Lift your arm up.
Just try a little bit. Just try.
[clears throat]
Thank you.
Keep trying to see, be ready before me.
Okay?
[grunts]
[engine starts]
Jesus, Ginger.
I'm sorry I woke you, honey. Just go back to bed, okay?
You need to get your rest.
Ginger, will you listen to me, please?
Go back to bed. It's almost midnight.
Hey.
Did you reach anyone on the CB?
I don't--
I'll be done in a minute.
Lord.

No. You're sick. That's all but we're gonna fix you.
[Music]
Blake. You're gonna get better because Ginger
needs you. I need you. I can't do this without you.
What I really want to say is that I love you, Blake. I don't want to do anything in
my life without you. You're my best friend. I love you so much.
[Music]
What's wrong with him?
It's okay. Come here.
Daddy's not feeling well, but in the morning we're
gonna take him to the doctor as soon as we can, okay?
[Music]
Are you sick, Nada?
[Music]
What is this? Why are you bleeding?
Why is Daddy's arm like that?
Ginger, um...
Help him, Mommy.
Baby, go to the next room, okay?
