Original subtitles

Hey, all right. You have 44 seconds remaining.

That's it.

That's all you got. So forget the cheering, the crowd, the recruiters.

None of that exists.

Dean, find the ball and find Horace. You got it, Boston. Horace, find the

basket. All right, let's go. Steel Wolf's out.

Let's go.

One, two, three.

Are we alone there, pal? What's going on? Yeah.

There's me and your mom.

down slow.

if you're just going to come in anyway. Good to see you settled in, cuz.

You know, like making the space your own.

I mean, seriously, Chris, if you need any help unpacking the rest, I've been a

lean mini -drilling machine ever since I started working weekends at the steel

mill, so, wait, happy to help out.

Oh, vinyl.

Nice.

Last time I saw you, it was chart music.

We were 11 years old, pal. When you get into all this geriatric stuff.

Doesn't get old.

Good music.

It's only bad music that ages.

Well, let me know when you want your pipe and slippers by the fire. You know,

you're close to me by the bedside. Oh!

Smelly socks.

Smelly socks.

Anyway, we don't want to be late on your first day.

No school, no start. All that good stuff.

Okay, I'll go bring the car around.

All right, let's go.

We've got to hustle. We don't want to be late.

Oh, shit. I almost forgot the Revenger.

Might be a little different to your last school back in Chicago, but, uh...

Welcome to Pellington High.

Uh, look, Chris, I know you're my cousin and everything, but please don't feel

like you have to hang out with me or my fellow nerds.

And...

There's great she hangs out with the popular

I'm

not looking for a crowd

Why does it say whore? Oh,

it's a nickname for, uh, Mason Raymore. He's a kid who died of flu.

You can't use this.

They assigned me this locker.

The school's done no respect for the dead, bro.

Paddington's been around a long time. Guys, all these lockers belong to dead

people. Hey, Grace, your hair looks really nice today.

Thanks, bro.

Hey, who's your, uh, friend?

Who?

No, this is my cousin. Wait, wait, wait.

You're the new girl?

I heard that she just got out of junkie rehab after she killed her dad

or something like that. Okay, cut it out. No, no, this is ridiculous. I mean,

the school has gone to hell.

I bet you she was high when she killed him, too.

Shut up, Tanner.

What?

Well, you should stop talking because you don't know shit.

Well, is it true? Are you a junkie? I mean, sure, you look like one with a

goodwill jacket.

Hey,

that's enough.

Enough.

You four, fighting in the halls.

Detention after school.

This psychopath just viciously attacked me, Mr. Craven. Let's start with

detention, all right?

And then we can discuss suspension later.

Mr. Craven. Yes?

I saw what happened. She didn't do anything.

No, no, no. She need a boy in his genital bag, Miss Gaines.

This is indeed something.

No, I... And for forcing your unsought opinion upon me, you can join us in

detention as well.

Okay? Good. See you later.

See you there.

Well, there goes our pool date, babe.

Nice work. I think they're still good for making babies.

Gross. Hey, seriously, that was awesome.

Uh, look, you're going to be okay, right? Yeah? Yeah? Okay.

Have a good day.

Hey, I'm sorry about what they said.

Oh, don't be. I mean, they're not wrong about any of it.

Um, oh, I'll help you. I don't need your help.

Nice of you to join us.

Chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum.

Fuck.

It's Chris, actually.

Ooh.

Whoa. What is that?

Is that a pipe?

No. Uh, Mr. Craven? Yes, Dean? Question.

Are we allowed, like, drug paraphernalia in school? You know, especially when

someone identifies as, like, a junkie. It's not a pipe.

Hey. Bring it to me.

I found it in my locker.

Oh, wow.

Do you think it's worth anything?

I don't know.

It's like a musical instrument, isn't it?

I don't know if a whistle or a kazoo.

I mean, this is certainly early Mayan, but the rest, I mean, I don't know.

It could be Olmec.

Can you translate any of it? I don't know.

Let's have a look.

Right. It's been a long time since grad school.

Oh, look, there's a word here.

That would be pronounced carver, which means to talk, or it can also mean

to call out to.

There's another word on this side.

That might be pixan.

Do you spell that P -I -C?

No, it's to be P -I -X -A -N.

Why? What are you doing?

Summon the dead.

Wow.

You don't even need a degree anymore. You just... That's it.

Look, I shouldn't have even... I think I should probably look after this.

It could actually have huge historical value.

And you did say you took it out of a school property locker. It doesn't

to you.

Good. All right. Look, I think that's probably a good place to end the tension

for the day.

Yep. Thank you.

Great idea.

Instead, I would like you to write a five -page essay on the role of pre

-prepared sacrifice in ancient Mesoamerica.

Seriously? Six pages.

No, no.

We're out.

Hey, we're all meeting at Grace's to watch her compose a six -page haiku on

blood sacrifices.

So I'll see you guys at 7? You mean we're all invited now?

Yeah, baby Dean.

We're all invited.

Even you.

It's called being welcoming and not an asshole.

Alright, I'll drive. I want to make it home in one piece.

I'll see you guys there.

Got a crush on Grace, huh?

Yeah.

One day, I'll take my shot.

About this morning, they had no right to talk about what happened to your dad

like that.

It's fine.

It wasn't your fault, you know? I really don't want to talk about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

So, how was your first day at Pellington High?

Um, it always seems nice.

Oh, my God.

I mean, she's nothing special, but like... Revenger.

Oh, okay.

Oh,

good.

More than a kazoo.

Are you okay?

I didn't mean to surprise you.

You just started here?

That obvious, huh?

A little bit.

Noah. Haggerty.

I'm the youth pastor down at St. Mark's.

You worship?

I'm not really into religion.

Ah, me neither.

I am into God, though.

You should come by my church sometime.

Get to know a few people.

Good people. Real people loving Jesus, right?

But also, you know.

Down for a good time?

Being new in town, you might not know where to go if you need something.

I don't.

Sure, sure. I get it.

You're clean.

But if you ever want to get a little dirty, how about a welcome to town gift?

Hey, get the fuck away from me!

God has a job for everyone.

I'm just trying to help those in need.

Okay?

Okay.

So no harm, no foul.

I'm always here if you need me.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Hey, so that preacher, he's a sound character, huh?

Funny thing is, parents send their kids to his church.

I think he's a wrong one.

He's not just a creep, though.

He sells drugs to the kids, and a year ago, one of them OD'd.

One day, he's gonna get what's his.

Let's get out of here.

What? Oh, it was running with nothing.

Anyway, look what I got.

Jolly!

Jolly Jolly

I'm afraid the school is closed, sir. You're trespassing.

I've called security already, sir.

You better be on your way.

Mr. Craven! Fucking hell!

Are you okay? Oh, my God.

I was calling your name, but... I need to sit down for a minute, catch your

breath.

No, no, no, I'm fine. I just think I've been... just working a bit too much

recently.

Good.

Oh, Mr. Craven!

Your secret's safe with me.

What's that?

I want to summon my grandpa.

But your grandpa's not dead.

But he's, like, really old.

And he makes this, like, amazing music. Hey, go to your room!

He's such a little freak.

Oh, good.

You know, it's really kind of beautiful.

If working in the ER has taught me anything, it's that death is normally

beautiful. I am not going to die.

Oh! Why didn't I think of that?

poison girls let's think about the dearly departed go for it babe i

dare you i think i'm gonna pass on the whole ghost summoning death whistle bye

christian at the moment bye hey you don't have to leave oh i i have to

come on babe i mean what's the worst that can happen

Intense Now what wait

listen you guys hear that

I Think I had something coming

Tina. Oh, asshole.

Oh, my God.

Okay,

I'm out.

Stop fighting me. I told you it was all bullshit, all right?

Hey.

Sorry if it was weird tonight.

You should come tomorrow.

It's the annual Pellington Harvest Festival.

Caramel apples, pumpkin carving, spooky hay bale maze.

It's fun.

We always go.

And it's probably the last year we'll all be together before we go off to lead

our incredibly serious adult lives.

Sounds cute.

Yeah. I'd just like it if you came.

Yo, Ellie.

Left your, uh... Thanks.

Diabetic. For my sons.

Late for my shift. But, um, text me about the Harvest Fest. Rel has my

Okay.

Rel, is she straight?

I don't know.

Never been super apparent.

But something tells me we're going to find out.

In the dark and lonely night, I gave my heart to you.

Didn't want my heart to keep.

Sorry. Is there someone watching?

Here, it's hot. Careful.

I thought I saw someone in the tree.

I don't see anyone.

Probably your eyes playing tricks on you.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, no.

What? I accidentally texted Ellie.

I gotta leave town. I gotta go. Yeah, that... Yeah,

that's bad. Yeah, you think?

What do I say?

What do I say?

Pretend someone stole your phone. Yeah, and emotionally sexted a girl that I met

less than 24 hours ago?

Yeah. Yeah.

That works.

Yeah, sure.

Typing. Oh, yeah, she's texting back.

Question mark?

Why question mark? What do I say?

Hey, hey, hey.

Be casual, okay?

Just chill.

Okay? Whatever you do, don't act desperate.

Okay.

If you're lucky.

What? What? No!

Casual, not Kardashian.

See you then.

See you then.

Ooh, looks like someone's going to the Harvest Festival.

Hmm?

What am I doing?

Should not be driving.

Me, my friend, I'm focused.

Motherfucker.

I mean, we made it home, didn't we?

Watch this, watch this.

He does not chore.

Story of your life, LeBron.

Fuck you, bro.

I'll see you at school, LeBron. Kiss my ass, bitch.

Kiss your mom's. What?

Timmy I hear you

Timmy

knock it off

Hello?

Dean?

Is that you?

This isn't funny!

Mom says you should come in now, or you'll turn into a prune.

Where's everybody?

Come on.

Let's go.

We will have grief counselors available if any student needs someone to talk to.

This is hard on all of us.

What's going on?

Mr. Craven died last night. What?

How?

Turns out he had stage four lung cancer.

Dr. Wells said it's amazing he was even on his feet yesterday.

I guess we don't have to write that paper anymore.

But he will be missed.

I'm sure Mr. Craven would want you to know how much he loved teaching here and

how grateful he was to give so many years of his life to this school.

out this last night?

It's not mine.

I don't want it. It gives me the creeps.

I see. Don't let the blue shit out.

It's bad news.

We could just return it to Mason's family.

Yeah.

Yeah, I agree.

That was my next suggestion to you. I can drive if you want.

You design them yourself?

Why do you hide them?

They're beautiful.

I don't know. I guess they're personal.

I always wanted to get a tattoo.

My mom would never let me.

How do you know what you want to design?

I guess you just find something you love and you let it scar you for life.

That easy, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Okay.

The door was open.

We have something that belonged to Mason.

I was born in this house.

I hoped to die here, too.

But the bank says it's not even mine anymore.

Maybe I'll get lucky and drop dead today.

Momento mori.

Reminders of mortality.

It's all got to go.

I travel the world collecting them.

Every culture, every faith and philosophy have their own.

Some wrestling with death, others dancing with it.

This is a part of your collection.

I found it in Mason Raymoor's locker.

You didn't find it.

It found you.

Like it found my grandson.

Like it found me.

Half a lifetime ago, a back alley market in Guatemala.

It took my grandson, my daughter, and it will take more.

What is it?

Nchoka.

The cry.

Stolen treasure from a plundered people.

You were told the markings said, summon the dead?

No.

Not quite.

The markings read, summon your death.

The day you are born, so is your death.

From that day on, she is searching for you.

If you're fated to die at 90, it will take her 90 years to find you.

Fated to die at 30, only 30.

But if you hear the whistle scream, it changes all that.

A call from Enshoka guides your death.

So she finds you earlier.

What does it look like?

Death.

Like you, of course.

You will become what you would have been in your last breath.

Keep this.

It was never mine to take.

What if I don't want to die?

Then you shouldn't have been born.

I mean, you saw her. She's on a lot of meds.

And she just lost her family. That'll rattle anyone.

And speaking as future Dr. Gaines, meaning there's no medical science

what she's saying. Oh, yeah. No.

I know.

It was bullshit.

Mostly.

But do you think that Mr. Craven used it like Mason?

Maybe.

Their files will be at the hospital I work at. We'll find them.

When you mentioned Mason, it gave me an idea.

There's something about his death that just never added up.

He caught on fire in a shower cubicle and they blamed it on a gas leak.

There, Raymoor.

I had to use his dental records to confirm his identity.

Oh, God.

He was so badly burned.

I just need to check on this.

Bone structure suggests late 40s.

Ellie, how old was Mason when he died?

Ellie,

what's his age?

Uh, 17. Why?

Because the coroner's report says late 40s.

You will become what you would have been in your last breath.

So Mason would have died when he was older.

From the gas leak. Yeah, Mr. Craven. That cancer would have killed him

eventually.

I'd give him another 10 to 15 years. But not last night.

Ellie.

We all heard that whistle.

We need to warn the others.

They'll be at Harvest Fest.

Hello?

Hey. Can I get you? Just a dabble.

One of these?

Yes, please.

Thank you. God bless.

Bye. Come on, Grace, yo.

You don't need that shit.

It's only weed.

It's natural.

How about instead of playing Grotely Dope, you head over to the game booth,

throw me a teddy bear, and I'm a dead shot, you know?

You always have been, Ralph.

So give me a shot. You can leave this place in the rear view.

Like Shazam.

Gone.

Sweet guy, Ralph.

A little bit personal.

Really good.

I know you're going to make someone better than me so happy.

You ready to get scared? Yes.

Here. But you have to give me a full two -minute lead, OK? Because I am getting

to that bell, and I'm ringing it with everything I've got, OK?

Two minutes. Got it.

Then I'm going to find my hot -ass devil girl.

Good luck with that.

You want to join?

Freaky Batman with no wings?

Maybe I'll, uh...

Let you watch.

Ha, ha, ha. No, no.

It's the revenger.

Batman doesn't have wings.

Jawhead.

Ralph's still not picking up. We have to find him.

There she is.

All your friends are getting juiced in there.

I've got some of my own special sauce if you want. Hey.

Hello. What are you supposed to be?

A dyke?

Holy shit.

I learned that from you.

Hey, you bitches.

That wasn't going to hurt nobody.

What about that boy you killed with your truck?

You hurt him?

I don't know what you're talking about.

One more thing jumps out at me.

You think it would be good to get the fuck out of a zombie?

Don't worry, bro. I got your back.

Okay.

Fuck this.

All right, Grace.

Grace, babe, where are you?

Two minutes is up.

Rel, where are the others?

Rel, where's Grace?

Rel?

I don't know.

The maids, I guess?

We have to go find them.

Rel, come on, we gotta talk to them.

What's this all about?

Please wake up. Please wake up. Please wake up.

Hey, come on. You gotta give me a clue.

Hey, no. No, listen. Listen, I'm near the center and this... I don't know,

fucking crazy old woman is trying to follow me. Babe, calm down. It's a

maze. They're supposed to follow you.

Dean, please. You need to come and find me.

She keeps saying my name, but I have no idea who she is.

Please hurry. Please hurry.

I'm lost.

Hey, what's going on?

Let's go. Come on.

Where are you?

Let me know where you are.

Well, what's the rush? Race.

Thank you.

That wasn't Grace.

I don't know who that was.

Dressed like that, but that wasn't her.

It was her.

She was supposed to die of old age. What do you mean supposed? She's 18.

Listen.

Grace is the one who blew the whistle.

But we were all with her at the pool.

Ellie's right.

We were all there.

We all heard that.

Sound.

It summoned.

All of our deaths.

And I... I feel it watching.

I've seen it too.

This morning in assembly.

It was some kind of seizure.

None of us should be alone right now, Dean! Look! I don't know.

What's going on?

Where Grace is?

All this spooky shit.

It started when she came down.

Are you kidding me?

You dared her to blow that fucking whistle.

You pushed her to do it.

It's your fault she's dead.

We get it.

You had a little crush.

Don't ever stand a chance.

Bro. Bro!

Keep playing Scooby -Doo.

I'm gonna go get smashed and wait till Grace gets home.

It's okay. I just had a nightmare.

Go back to bed.

You better not be drinking and driving again, son.

It'll be the death of you.

How's he doing?

Heartbroken. Been in love with Grace since they were kids.

Have you ever seen anyone die?

A few.

I OD'd about a year ago.

My dad found me, and he drove me to the hospital, and we were... We were half a

mile away.

A truck hit us.

I'm so sorry.

Now I've got his... His music, you know? I... I listen to it.

Makes me feel connected.

Like a bridge, I guess.

You had good days.

My actions killed my dad, and there's... There's nothing I can do about it.

Sometimes I wish it had been me.

I just finished telling you how fucked up I am.

Everyone's fucked up.

You just happen to know it.

And that shit you pulled with Noah.

That was really cool.

Yeah, but you've got your shit together. You know, you're smart and you're

funny.

And I'm just...

You're in faith that we're not hurt.

Our future death is hunting us.

We were all there.

We all heard that sound.

Please don't be too long. She's taking a bit of a turn.

It took our friend.

What does it want?

The Almak offered souls to satiate their gods of death.

And Chilka has been collecting them for thousands of years.

But it's not our time, and we need to stop it.

Death is unstoppable.

Once called, it will not relent.

But there is a way to change its course.

But how? How do we change its course?

Give your death someone else's life.

What do you mean?

Offer and choker.

A new sacrifice.

When your death is near, mark another with your blood, and you will be

spared.

Mark them with your blood.

No, we can't do that.

Dying is not a choice.

I think she was ready.

Well, I'm not ready.

She just told us exactly what we need to know. No, I veto any solution that

requires murder.

So what?

That's it? We just wait to die?

I saw her.

My death.

I .O .D.

With a needle in my arm.

Chris.

I don't want to use again.

I don't want to hurt people again. I don't want to hurt myself.

I'd rather die.

Look, I'm sorry, but we are running out of time. We've all seen our deaths, and

they're coming for us next, so we don't have a choice now.

No, Ralph, we'll be okay if we stick together.

Do you really believe that?

Ralph. You just need to think, okay?

I'll call Dean.

And we return now to a local report in Ellington to the tragic events of last

night's harvest festival.

Just moments ago, paramedics removed a body from the scene.

at this time we don't have a lot of information but what we do know is that

woman is yet to be identified please are asking anyone who may know her to come

forward in the meantime it is a very hectic situation right here on the

police have completely taped off the area as they continue their

we are standing by and as soon as we

Is that you?

Dad, no, no, no, Dad!

Dad, do you see it?

I can't, I can't!

Dad, I can't.

Look at him.

Look, I need you to listen to me, please!

On the other side of town.

Are you lost in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you fully trusting His grace and power?

Don't make this difficult.

What the fuck is this? A guy at the mill sold it to me.

It's loaded.

What are you doing, man?

You have to do what I say.

Okay?

Oh, do I?

I bet you don't even know how to use that thing.

Now. Fucker!

You

done now, my

friend?

No fucking done.

It's so funny.

You don't get it.

I don't die this way.

Freak. Hey, I warned you.

What's the point of dragging me all the way out here?

This is where I'll die.

So this is where you're gonna die.

What?

What, are you insane?

Huh?

Here's what you give them.

You're, uh, young believers.

You want some?

They're all yours.

Go ahead and take them.

How many does it take?

One will make you happy, two will make you fly.

I'll go for three.

Swallow.

Hey,

man, can you please tell me what this is about, huh?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hey, hey.

Jesus Christ!

Hey!

Let's talk about this, man.

What is that thing, huh?

Is that witchcraft, man?

Is that what you're into?

You Satanist?

Hey, look.

I got a marking on.

What?

No, you don't have to mark me, man.

Get this shit away from me.

Ralph!

Ralph, you don't have to do this.

Hey.

Ralph, put the gun down.

It's not fair.

Ralph, put the gun down.

A murdering scumbag like him gets to live while you or me or

Grace dies?

You think that makes any sense at all?

It doesn't make any sense.

Stop. Stay.

Back.

Please, Jesus.

Please, God, I will be your instrument. I seek forgiveness. Shut up. I'm sorry

for what I've done. I told him I should have. I didn't mean for him to die. You

murdered that boy. It was an accident.

You killed him. I didn't know, all right?

I didn't know he was going to die. Shut up. I'm not a bad person.

I'm watching the blood.

Jesus, I will be the hammer in your hand, Lord. So help me, God. Just

save me.

I'm marked only by God.

I'm marked only by God.

I'm marked only by God.

And I'm delivered.

I guess everyone has to die once.

Say that again.

I said everyone has to die.

You said once.

That's it.

That's it. That's how we stop this. How?

What's here?

Relatively not what is it?

Hmm.

it get you.

What's the plan? We summoned her, and we can't outrun it.

Now we have to die.

That doesn't mean we have to stay dead.

Is this all you've got?

I carry backup insulin for emergencies.

How much do you need?

Enough to stop a heart.

Insulin won't be enough to trigger a cardiac arrest.

I have an idea.

Okay, so one more time.

I inject you.

Make sure you have no pulse, no heartbeat, so you're technically dead.

And then the glucagon? So we don't go hypoglycemic when the defibrillator

first to the heart.

Okay.

Any one of those, I'll do you and you can do me.

to make sure you live.

Look again.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you for saving me.

Thank you for saving me.

Come on.

It's got a job for everyone.

I'm just trying to help those in need.

But you, you're beyond redemption.

Because I, I am washed in the blood of the Lamb.

your soul and life everlasting.

Amen.

It's been three months, two weeks, and four days.

I count each and every one of them now.

I always thought death was the enemy.

But now I'm not so sure.

No one has forever.

But we do love right now.

I think I can live with that.

Anthem on her violin.
