[ominous music]
We don't know anything, except that it's here
and it's probably in one of us.
[Nicholas] Everyone, listen. If we find out who it is,
there's a way to get the Assassin out of them.
- How? - We drown them.
It says there's this family in Maine.
The mom, she had an Assassin in her,
so they tied her up and drowned her in a lake.
How did they know?
The mom was herself
when they brought her back.
It says there's these groups online,
and they talk about being the resistance,
the underground.
- [Travis] I've seen that car before. - That's fucking Hayden.
Hayden was a member of our little band of brothers.
[Olsen] Until he preemptively shit the fucking bed. Told you he's a psycho.
A Visitor is made of nothing.
It's like vapor, or air.
Shooting can't kill it.
[Olsen] You can kill the host.
But the Visitor, it'll just hop into somebody else.
[Ruben] I said, don't stare at it.
Light it up.
[unsettling music]
[McNab] You can't destroy it!
But there's something we can do.
Hey, Mom. What is it?
- What's wro... What's wrong? - [shushing]
I know who Assassin is.
- I found them in Ellen's room. - She's still Assassin?
No, no. She's not Assassin.
So who is?
You are.

[song ends]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey.
Yeah. I've got it.
No. Just tell me where McNab is.
[eerie, ominous music]
[music intensifies]
[McNab] It's still gonna hurt like hell,
but these will help.
All we need is one piece
and that should be enough for everybody.
There's not enough in there for anyone to make it over the line alive.
Is there enough for me to--
- I think so. - You think so?
Yeah.
[pensive music playing]
Here we go.
[grunts]
[disquieting music]
This gonna work?
It has to.
Fucking hell.
[exhales sharply]
[coughing]
[Donald] Ruben!
[crash]
[coughs]
Ow!
[ominous, pulsating music]
[sizzling]
[agonized scream]
[grunts]
[Donald] Get up! Come on!
[panting]
[groans]
[coughing]
[music intensifies]
[Ruben panting]
[coughing]
[panting] Like Nicholas said...
easy-peasy.
[Donald] Yeah.
[Maggie] Assassin can't be killed, so how do we win?
[James] I just... I don't know.
How many people have died now?
Claire.
Carmen.
Edward.
Brian.
There was a woman beside Navarros' barn.
Olsen.
Um, the kid in the basement.
Travis.
He had been shot I don't know how many times.
[sighs]
He was gonna die. I think he knew it, too.
He told me all he ever wanted was some control.
Of his life. Of something, anything.
But...
There was no stopping what was happening. Was...
nowhere to go to get help, and...
There was nothing to do, and if there was...
I'm really sorry.
[breath trembling]
No, I'm sorry.
Until he turned the gun on himself,
I thought I was gonna die down there too.
And all I kept thinking...
praying...
was I hope Maggie knows how sorry I am.
[deep sigh]
There was nothing I could do to save him. [sniffles]
It must have been awful.
It wasn't unfamiliar.
What wasn't?
I-I don't think I've ever really felt like I've had control.
What do you mean?
Of my life.
My job.
Us. Our life.
The kids. All of it.
It's always felt like it all...
It all just happened somehow.
And then I look at you.
You with work.
You with our kids.
You with everything.
You've always had control.
You've always been in control.
Just...
I think I wanted some of that.
Valeria and I got close at work.
As friends, at first.
And...
part of it was because she understood that feeling.
The things in life turning out the way they did.
Without any say.
[tender music]
I don't know. I liked being understood that way.
Does that make sense?
[shuddering breath]
Nothing makes sense right now.
I know.
That's not true.
Arlo.
Meryl.
They make sense.
What about us?
I know we don't right now.
Could we make sense again?
[James sighs]
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe is all I can give you right now.
I'll take maybe.
[tender music continues]
- [Arlo] We know where to go. - [Meryl] We can't get out.
[Arlo] Assassin could be in anybody.
Even if we knew who it was, Assassin could move to somebody else.
So we're fucked?
[laughs] Arlo Chenoweth.
What? It's true, isn't it?
[distorted ringing tone]
[soft, ominous music]
There is something we can do.
[Meryl] What?
Assassin.
I don't get it.
[rock clatters against glass]
[ominous music]
Lock the door.
Don't let anybody in except me.
Okay?
Okay.
[door shuts]
[ominous music continues]
Are you okay?
It's my mom. Assassin's my mom.
She tried to grab me. I-I got away, but,
I think she was gonna try to drug Arlo or something.
What-- What do you mean?
[exhales]
She had... she had these.
[items clatter]
[breath trembling]
Hey. Okay, we need to go warn everybody.
- Wait. - What?
- Let me just say something. - What?
Whatever happens, I'm so glad we found each other.
- Seriously, I need you to know-- - I left Arlo alone.
Are you really gonna make me tell you another one of my dumb jokes?
[unsettling music building]
[soft hissing]
Nicholas, stop--
- [whimpering] - [soft hissing]
[intense music]
[clears throat]
Meryl, what-- what happened?
No! No--
[suspenseful music]
[breathing heavily]
[door opens, slams shut]
Arlo, what are you doing out of your room?
It's Meryl. She's doing bad things.
[suspenseful music continues]
[James] Let's go.
[footsteps]
- [unsettling music] - [breathing heavily]
[water running]
[eerie music]
[Duke whines quietly]
[continues whining]
[door hinges creak]
[door closes in distance]
- [goat bleats] - [horse whinnies]
[gun cocking]
[ominous music]
All of this...
the blood...
the tears...
the struggling...
[Maggie breathing shakily]
Meryl.
Meryl, come on. I know you're--
- If only you knew what's coming. - No.
Listen to me, Meryl. I promise--
You'd realize just how utterly
insignificant you all are.
Just give me what I want.
No.
No, I can't let you anywhere near Arlo.
Then I'm gonna have to kill you.
Yes, you are.
[subtle, eerie music]
Maybe not.
Maybe...
[knife flicks open]
I'll just kill her.
No.
Oh, no, you won't.
Of course I will.
[sharp exhale]
That's what I thought.
[gasps]
[grunts]
[both grunting]
Get your mask on! Your mask!
- Get your mask on! - [Meryl grunting, shouting]
- [thuds] - [Meryl screaming]
[water running]
[James shouts]
[Meryl grunting]
- [James] Grab her legs! - Jesus!
[Meryl screaming]
- [Meryl screaming] - [James] Go! Let's go!
Drink it, step over the line, and get help.
- I'll go first. - And then run like hell.
- I didn't have to help you. - Didn't have to shoot me either.
Nicholas!
[grunts softly]
What happened?
I-I-I was with Mom. She said she knew who Assassin was and then...
- I-I don't remember. - Let's get you inside.
Uh, guys?
[dark, ominous music]
- [water splashing] - [dramatic music]
[muffled screams]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[both groaning]
[gurgling]
I can't do this!
- You have to, Maggie! - I can't do it!
Come on, let's go. You have to! Go!
[inhales sharply]
Maggie, wh--
- [Maggie sobs] - [gasping breaths]
[gurgling]
[inhales deeply]
[screaming underwater]
[Maggie sobbing]
[muffled screaming]
[water gurgling]
[stifled moans]
[tense music]
[sighs]
Get her!
[panting]
[Maggie sobbing quietly]
[rhythmic thudding]
Come on...
[sobs] Come on, Meryl...
[sobbing]
[rhythmic thudding]
No.
[tearfully] Meryl...
Meryl...
[Maggie whimpering]
[tearfully] Please...
Come on, Meryl...
Meryl! Please...
[pounds bathtub]
[anguished scream]
Come on...
[tearfully] Meryl, please...
[gasps]
Meryl!
[coughing]
[sobs]
[tender music]
[Meryl coughing]
[sobs]
Oh, my God...
Mom...
Oh, Meryl!
[gasping breaths]
[Meryl coughing]
James and Maggie are in there with Meryl.
- She's-- - And Valeria?
Um...
[suspenseful music]
I... I...
I don't know.
[suspenseful music continues]
Now we're not trapped.
No, we're not.
We need to go.
- Where's Mom? - [Ruben] I'll find Mom.
I'll go get Maggie and James...
- And Meryl too? - I'll get everybody.
Stay out of sight. Get to the road.
I'll meet you there. And then--
We all get the hell out of here.
In the van that Olsen bastard drove up in.
Easy-peasy.
Come on.
Hey... we should all go together.
I gotta go get Mom and the Chenoweths.
- But Dad... - Hey.
[tense music]
[sobs quietly]
[breathes deeply]
[sobbing]
[James cries out, sobs]
[whispers] Dad?
Dad?
You...
[panting]
You need to run.
[shrill ringing sound]
[dramatic music]
[Maggie] Meryl. Meryl, pick up the syringe and the knife.
Meryl, do it.
[James grunting, panting]
[James shouts] Run!
Oh...
[suspenseful music]
[Ellen gasps]
Nicholas, don't look.
- Mom! - Don't look, Nicholas!
[dramatic music]
- Don't look! It's okay. - [wails]
- [Ellen] No... No... - [Nicholas crying]
Don't... Don't.
- [Nicholas] She's... - [Ellen] Honey, don't look.
Okay? Look at me. Look at me...
Mom?
I know, honey. I know.
[emotional music]
[shrill ringing sound]
- Mom... - Yes, she's gone.
She's gone. I know, she's gone.
Just look at me.
[knife scrapes on table]
[ominous music]
- [music intensifies] - [hinges squeaking]
[shrill ringing sound]
[grunting]
[grunts]
Oh!
[gunshot]
[suspenseful music]
[gunshot]
[Arlo] Dad!
James!
[suspenseful music]
James!
Shit.
[breathing heavily]
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast...
- Mom, that's Dad... - I know it is.
[suspenseful music]
Mom.
Fuck...
Damn it.
Give me the ketamine.
- What? - The syringe and the knife.
Stay inside!
[goat bleating nearby]
[horse nickers]
[wood scraping softly nearby]
[light footsteps overhead]
[ominous music continues]
[soft scraping on floor]
None of this will make any difference.
You're wrong. It will.
[James] No.
No, it really won't.
We both know what's gonna happen now.
[cries out] Ah...
Arlo, quick! Quick.
Come on, quickly, quickly.
- No, Mom! Mom. - Arlo...
- Remember the wasp? - What?
The wasp and the teacup.
Remember the teacup?
[grunts]
[labored breathing]
Arlo, get back.
Go.
Why don't you just give up?
Because that's not what we do.
[groaning]
[soft hissing]
- [grunts] - Ahh!
[tense music]
[exhales]
[metal thuds]
You can't win.
We don't have to win.
We just have to trap you.
[screaming, grunting]
- [pounding on lid] - [sobbing]
[James screams]
[continues screaming]
[James screaming]
[Maggie, tearfully] Help me...
- Help... - [pounding on lid]
Dad...
- Mom? - Please...
It's Dad!
[Maggie, tearfully] I know, I know, I know...
I know, I know, honey. I'm sorry.
- We can't! - I know! We have to...
Mom... No!
I know...
Mom, he'll suffocate!
- I know, I know... - [James shouts]
- [sobs] - I know...
No...
He'll die, Mom.
He'll die.
He's gonna die.
I'm sorry.
[sobbing]
Arlo...
[Arlo] Meryl.
[both crying]
[grunts]
[gasping]
[breathes heavily]
[somber music]
[Meryl and Arlo crying]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Meryl, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry...
[emotive music]
[crying quietly]
[gentle music]
[birds chirping]
[breathes deeply]
[emotional music building]
[dramatic beat]
[exhales]
[stirring instrumental music]
Oh...
[laughing]
It's over.
[kisses]
[stirring instrumental music continues]
[both grunt softly]
[stirring instrumental music continues]
[sighs]
[music fades out]
[sniffles]
- You sure? - Yeah.
Someone's got to stay with the animals,
just in case.
Uh, you're coming right back, right?
Absolutely we'll be back.
Okay, then.
[emotional music]
[sniffles] I'm sorry.
No...
[Ellen breathing shakily]
Oh...
Take that.
[sniffles]
[gentle, hopeful music]
[groans]
It's, uh... still nothing.
Where do we go?
- [engine starts] - The police? Hospital?
We'll go to the fire station in New Hope.
For now.
[ominous music]
Meryl.
- What? - Harbinger says
we need to go to Belknap Mountain.
We need to make sure everybody's okay first. Okay?
Harbinger has to turn on the machine.
- I know. - [Ruben] Whoa.
What is that?
Uh... who here is McNab?
I-I'm Carol.
And this is Milo.
[laughs]
You found me.
- We found you. - Oh...
It's okay.
They know what's going on. They're here to help.
I got worried when you stopped posting on the chatroom
and then stopped answering texts.
You know, I figured
you wouldn't be far from your last location.
You-- You figured right.
We have people hurt. We're trying to get to the fire station.
For sure. Uh...
We'll follow you.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, just let me get this one thing
out of my bag.
- [unzips bag] - Um...
[engine roars]
Oh, God, that's Hayden.
What are you doing?!
[Maggie] Get out of the way!
[screams]
[engine revs]
[unsettling music]
[somber piano music]
[sighs]
[car door opens]
I'm gonna need you to just listen.
Okay?
Listen and look.
[somber piano music continues]
Zip ties to hold you.
Ketamine to drug you.
These people,
they were not your friends.
This is real.
The bastards are waking up.
And I'm telling you...
they are everywhere.
Now, you can go it alone.
In which case, I can pretty much guarantee that you're fucked.
Or you can follow us.
And maybe, just maybe, you might survive.
The choice is all yours.
So...
what's it gonna be?
[somber music fades]
[sighs]
We're not going anywhere until you tell us what the fuck is going on.
