Hello?
Nobody's supposed to be in here.
I heard you.
Victoria, I swear to God, if that's you,
I will pepper spray your ass so hard.
I will write your ass up.
I'm not playing.

Hey!
(ominous music continues)
(phone beeping)
Yeah, hello.
I work security at the Rosecrans.
It's 164 Rosecrans Avenue.
(ominous music continues)
(door clicking)
(ominous music continues)
Ah!
Nevermind.
Must have just been the wind or something.
- Happy birthday! - Ah!
(pepper spray spraying)
(coughing) Ah, ah, ah, damn it.
Nevermind.
Everything's fine.
Just my idiot coworker.
She's messing around.
Goddammit.
Clean that mess up.
I'm gonna go get plates.
Happy birthday.
My bad.
It's your favorite, red velvet.
[August] I can't believe they
still haven't rented this place.
[Victoria] I can't believe we still have employment.
Especially considering what a mess you leave
in the shower room.
[August] I do not.
[Victoria] August.
[August] Victoria.
[Victoria] Why is there always so much water in there,
all of the time?
(both laughing)
I can't help it.
Every time I get on the metro,
there's people, they're coughing and sneezing.
I have to take a shower and it's just...
it must be nice though,
being able to drive your brand new...
Oh hey, I'm not complaining.
I like the metro, public transportation.
Have you driven in LA?
Those drivers are crazy.
God forbid it rains.
You better hope they don't see that camera footage.
Already downloaded it.
It's gone viral.
Bearded Bear gets a scare.
Search.
(August laughing)
Google it.
(both laughing)
Kidding, I'm kidding.
I unplugged the cameras before we started.
Tell 'em there was a glitch or something.
I won't tell if you don't.
(Victoria gasping)
(laughing) Shut up.
Is that how I looked?
[Victoria] (laughing) So classic.
Who does that to somebody?
[Victoria] Family.
Well, considering that neither one of us have any...
Exactly.
Which is why it is up to me to torture you endlessly.
Thank you.
(soft music)
(sighing) Birthdays are weird at this age
where I don't know if I should be celebrating
another year of life
or sad that another year has passed me by.
Birthdays sure beat the alternative.
[August] Good point.
Death is-
Right.
Oh, we're gonna go with celebrate 'em
while we got 'em then, right?
(soft music continues)
(intense music)
(Mother screaming)
I know.
Yeah.
Honestly, I don't know what I would do without you, August.
You know, if we really were related,
you'd have a bigger piece of that cake.
Scared the shit outta me.
You know that?
You got first patrol for that.
Deal.
It was worth it.
That is really good cake though.
(Victoria retching)
Damn it.
(toilet flushing)
(tense music)
(water running)
(computer beeping)

(Victoria gasping)
Hey, what's going on?
You okay?
I, I, yeah.
Yeah. I, I thought you were messing with me.
What are you talking about, messing with you?
Oh, Jesus.
You spilled the tea.
Told you there's electronics all over.
See what happens when I eat too much sugar?
It's all right, it's all right.
Just go patrol.
I'll take care of it.
No, no, no, no.
It's my tea.
Victoria.
Go on.
I'll take care of it.
It's fine.

Roughly 4:00 a.m., June 6th,
no June 7th.
Visceral vision, most visceral yet.
I saw a finger in a pile of dirt.
It appeared to be my finger
and then it disappeared without a trace.
It's the first time I've self referenced in a vision.
That's new.
It felt so real.
Has to mean something.
(gentle orchestral music)
It has to mean something.

Lancaster.
(gentle orchestral music continues)
(marker scratching)
Found you, Beatriz.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
Oh hey, August.
Nothing.
I was planning a hike.
[August] This is an SPF hat.
Wear it.
[Victoria] Yes, mom.
[August] It's just a little kit.
You got a nail file, tweezers, clippers.
[Victoria] What is this, a manicure set?
[August] You just never know.
All right?
And a compass, just in case you get lost.
I'm gonna have my phone.
Well, what if your phone loses power?
Doesn't it have-
If you don't have cell service?
- Doesn't it have emergency- - Just take the compass?
All right? - Fine.
Alright, here is my favorite backpack.
Okay, let's see.
In here's the water belly.
And then you have a straw.
Just in case you need to drink out of a river.
I'm going to a desert.
[August] And this pouch is the only thing,
the zipper's broken,
but everything else on this bad boy is good.
Well, thank you so much for your favorite broken backpack.
[August] Where'd you say you were going again?
Ian...
Lancaster.
Lancaster?
You need a gun?
Do you have one?
Why would I need a gun?
I'm going hiking.
Here, take this.
Why do you have this?
Chopping wood, making fires,
hiking, camping shit.
I mean, I don't know if you're gonna need it,
but better safe than sorry, right?
Thanks.
[August] So you're just going hiking in Lancaster, huh?
Yep.
Just checking out a couple of trails up there.
Do they have trails there?
[Victoria] Yeah, they have trails there.
Okay.
I'm just, wanna make sure you're okay.
I'm fine.
You don't have to worry about me.
I can take care of myself.
Alright.
It's your patrol.
[Victoria] Picture of Maple fell again.
She was a good girl.
Ever think about getting another one?
Not ready.
Well, when you are,
I hear Victoria's a good name.
(laughing) It's a terrible name for a dog.
Or Victor.
Either one.
It's yours, you're welcome.
Victor Victoria.
(Victoria laughing)
You're dumb.
Get outta here.
It's your patrol.
Yes sir.
Hey, August.
Yeah?
Thanks for the hiking stuff.

Shhhhhhhh
(intense music)
(Victoria screaming)
Victoria, I'm here.
Victoria.
Breathe.
It's okay.
You're okay.
What happened there?
Scrubbed your tea spill a little too hard yesterday.
Oh, muscle man.
What was that?
You're scaring the shit outta me.
I've never seen you this bad.
Stop it, no.
It's, it was nothing.
I was- Cut the shit.
You were screaming bloody murder.
Talk to me.
You didn't see anyone there?
No.
One moment you were, you were walking
towards the storage area.
The next you ran screaming into that room.
It felt so real.
I thought I was gonna die.
[August] Die, from what?
How?
I don't wanna die.
Vic, we've talked about this.
No one wants to die.
(ominous music)
I won't.
You are scaring the shit outta me.
You really didn't see anyone in there with me?
[August] No.
Then she knows then.
Who knows what?
She knows I'm close.
She's trying to scare me away.
Who are you talking about?
I'm, (sighing) I'm so sorry.
I scared you.
Um, I'm, I'm totally fine.
I'm, I'm fine.
[August] Are you sure?
[Victoria] Yeah.
Do you mind if I take off early?
I think I used to get some rest.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's fine. - Just tired.
I'll hold it down and...
I think the hike tomorrow really help clear my head.
Yeah, thanks.

[August] What the shit was that?
What are you doing here?
[August] Was that a witch?
What is that?
The mop?
[August] That lady, she was dressed like a witch.
What are you doing here?
[August] What are you doing here?
She turned that guy into a zombie.
Did you see that?
I saw that.
What is that?
Put that back.
Victoria, you said you saw what happened?
She turned that guy into a zombie
and his dead ass got up,
walked outside with a shovel,
probably to dig his own grave.
I know, I know.
This looks crazy.
It is, it's crazy, August.
But I am not leaving here without this book.
We need to go right now.
[August] Victoria.
Do you trust me?
(ominous music)
He is digging his own grave.
(ominous music continues)
What are you doing?
Give me the hatchet.
(Victoria breathing heavily)
Did you lose my hatchet?
We gotta go now.
(Witch screeching)
(ominous music continues)
(Witch grunting)

(ominous music continues)
[August] You're pretty fast.
[Victoria] I used to run track.
[August] Really?
[Victoria] No.
(August laughing)
[August] You got so much explaining to do.
[Victoria] I can't believe you GPS-ed me.
[August] I'm worried about you.
[Victoria] Were you on my bus this morning?
What bus?
That's a nice car.
Did you see that?
I just, I don't- Yeah, yeah.
- I don't- - I know.
It's a lot. - Victoria.
I just need to say this out loud, okay?
- Please. - All right.
All right, so your, your fear of death
led you to some dark corners of the internet
where you discovered a witch
that's been around since,
listen to me when I say this,
1692 during the Salem Witch Trials,
and somehow she ended up all the way over here
in the California desert where she's abducting people
in order to steal their life force via human sacrifice
so that she can cheat death.
And you, my dear Victoria, stole this crazy lady's book
so that you can do the same.
That sounds creepy when you put it like that,
but yes, basically.
(eerie ambient music)
Why haven't you told me about this,
any of this?
Oh, and you know Latin too.
(phone clicking)
(August speaking foreign language)
(ominous music)
(Victoria speaking foreign language)
(Witch gasping)
It means to take.
(August speaking foreign language)
(Victoria speaking foreign language)
It means to give.
[August] So you get to choose
whether you give life or take life?
(intense music) (Mother screaming)
(camera shutter clicking)
(wind howling)
(Witch speaking foreign language)
I'm just a little hurt that you didn't trust me
with any of this.
It wasn't about trust, August.
I knew you'd try and stop me, talk sense into me.
Well, yeah, we almost got murdered by a goddamn witch.
I just, I can't...
Like this isn't you.
What are you talking about?
It's all I ever think about.
Oh, not this again.
I don't under- Shut it.
I know. - We are not,
none of us are getting out of here alive.
You understand?
Yes, yes.
Yes.
I am.
I am holding the key in my hands?
This is it.
Vic.
What happens after this?
Huh?
Cold?
Blackness?
Nothingness?
I don't know.
But what if there is something else?
What if you go somewhere.
Your consciousness, you're free from all the feelings
you're having or the feelings you had
or all the pain and sadness and guilt,
you know, it's just peace.
Can you prove that?
Can you?
(ominous music)
I looked death directly in the eyes
and it was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
I won't.
To what end?
When does this all stop?
Huh?
Your skin turns gray?
It, it depends,
on when you do it and how often.
You can stay young.
I mean she clearly just waited too long in between.
All you need is a personal object from someone-
Enough!
Think about the life that you're not living right now.
Worrying about death.
You're not eating cake.
Huh?
What kind of life are you really living?
(intense music)
I will stop it.
(ominous music)
(train rumbling)
I don't know.
I was just thinking.
Everyone has different ideas,
but it's kind of related to reincarnation.
You know what I mean?
That's fine.
Whatever.
Just, it doesn't even matter.
You just sit right here.
You lock the door when I leave.
Don't let anyone in.
You watch the camera.
Let me know if you see anyone.
More specifically, anyone like they're dressed up
going to a Halloween party. (laughing)
Yah!
Roger.
(door clicking)
Do you remember anything before you were born?
No.
Anything scary about it?
Interesting thought.
(door clicking)
(ominous music)
(door clicking)
(ominous music)
(door clicking)
(ominous music continues)
I don't know, Officer.
It all happened so fast.
(ominous music continues)
(intense music)
I remember the first time I considered it.
My parents took me to a church
and the priest asked us to pray for those who had passed on.
Passed on, what does that mean?
My parents gave me a fairytale
of some bright place in the sky.
It was cute for a while
until my first funeral.
My father.
I was 12 and I saw him cold as ice,
eyes sunken in, in this wooden box.
Why would they do that?
Why would they put him in a box and bury him?
He'll suffocate.
How heavy the dirt would be.
He won't be able to breathe.
There's no wind, there's no space.
Darkness.
I got through that episode.
A lot of lying to myself.
It wasn't until, it wasn't until the day my mother died
that I realized I would do anything.
She was so afraid she couldn't breathe.
They fucked up her meds or something.
She was supposed to go peacefully,
but no.
Her eyes bulged out of their sockets.
The veins in her neck looked like roots strangling.
Her fingers bent in unnatural shapes
as she reached across the room, looking at me for help.
Like it was the most painful thing in the world,
and it was somehow all my fault, the pain,
and what's worse, the not knowing.
What really comes after?
She wasn't ready to find out.
She was so scared of the not knowing.
But the disease had already taken over her body.
The same disease that takes over mine.
It was too late for her, not me.
That brought me to you.
Someone alone like me.
You once told me that you looked forward to the day
that you could be with them again.
Your family, your sweet puppy.
Over the rainbow bridge.
I hope you're right about it.
I hope they're out there waiting for you.
What am I talking about?
They are out there.
Home to your family is where I'm sending you.
Isn't that wonderful?
That's what you want, isn't it?
(ominous music)
Everyone you love is where you're going.
There's no one to miss you here.

(Victoria sobbing)
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry I couldn't help you.
I love you so much.
I miss you every day.
And I'm so scared.
Mom, I'm so scared.
But it's the right thing to do, right?
(ominous music)
Mommy?
It's all your fault.
You bitch.
(ominous music)
You let me suffer.
You coward.
Screaming in the corner.
I raised you better than that.
You little shit.
You let me suffer.
You let me die!
(ominous music)

Please.
I don't wanna die.
(gentle orchestral music continues)
(mouse scrolling)
(intercom buzzing)
[August] How can I help you?
[Francis] I'm looking for August Thompson.
[August] Deliveries are around back.
[Francis] Can't leave this around back.
Yeah, just, just come in.
I just need to see your ID
and have you sign right here please.
Thank you.
[August] Don't really wanna sign anything
that I don't know what I'm getting.
That's okay.
You can decline it if you want to,
but I'm under strict instructions and a bit of a deadline.
An entire savings went into making today possible.
So, as long as you are you and happy belated birthday
and I'm to hand this to you and I'll be right back.
(tag clanking)
(chuckling) That's a terrible name for a dog, Vic.
