All language subtitles for The Endless (2017) (ENGLISH)

Hi.

Um, whoever's watching,
I just wanted to say,

if you are at the camp
and we're not back yet,

that I just wanted
to say don't worry.

Uh, the ascension is something
we've all been looking forward to

and we couldn't be happier,

so our round-trip from
this place and back

is really something
to celebrate.

So, um...

eat and drink and make
yourself comfortable,

and we look forward to
seeing you when we return.

Um...

Okay. Bye.

You seriously spent $20 on that

and didn't get the car battery?

You said they did it already.

- Nope. No.
- Yeah. Yeah.

No. I said that
right before we left,

I was told that they were all
were gonna kill themselves.

And that's why we left the cult.

She didn't say anything
about killing themselves.

She didn't.

It's a UFO death cult.

It's what they do.

They just call it
something different.

I rescued us from a cult.

I saved you from mass suicide.

You're welcome.

The, uh, owner still gone?

Yep. But be fast.

You want, um, pork or shrimp?

Uh, neither. I'm good.

- You're not eating lunch?
- Nope.

Gotta save the money you
spent on antique video equipment

and not the car battery.

Oh, tattoos, those
were an investment.

What?

You know they used
to feed us real food.

You know, vegetables
and fish that's not powder.

I'd rather be alive
and eat raman

than be dead and eat... corn.

I know they were going to
do it, now they clearly are,

so I was, like, ten years off.

They didn't say anything
about killing themselves.

They said... Move your head.

They said they were
going somewhere,

and we don't know how long
or where they were going...

- Good.
- How's that good?

If we were back at the
camp, we'd have, like,

good food and support,
and we wouldn't be

one dirty house away
from being homeless.

I need the car.

I've got deprogramming
in, like, half an hour. Ow.

I don't want to go to
deprogramming anymore.

Are you gonna be the
one to get another job

if we don't qualify for aid?

And stop leaving the
dome light on in the car.

You're making the car battery
even worse if that's possible.

It was mostly a joke.

But, um...

he's not happy.

I heard him crying
the other night, again.

And, um...

the cult sent us
a good-bye video.

Whoa. What was that like?

I mean, I was
relieved, at first,

because... they're not dead.

And then I felt bad.

Because now Aaron
thinks I pulled him out

all those years
ago for no reason.

All of his memories of the cult

are as a kid or a
teenager or whatever.

So all those memories are good,

and he sees our
lives here as horrible.

But, to me,

the thing that makes
our lives here better

is thinking for ourselves.

And I don't know why
we haven't been able

to make a living
or make friends...

meet girls.

Recovery from cult mind
control is a lifelong process,

and if he resents
you for pulling him out,

that's common.

Whether he resents
me or he doesn't,

feeling responsible
for his well-being 24/7

is exhausting.

They're gonna take the car.

The credit card was a bad idea.

I'll figure it out.

Yeah, okay.

I wanna go back.

Have fun with that.

No, I'm serious.

I'm going, just... for a visit.

You have a horrible memory.

That place is not
what you think it is.

- I know.
- Great. Let's not go.

Why do you wanna go back?

We can say good-bye.

Get some closure.

They were our family.

One day. One night.

We come straight back.

Will that make you feel better?

Uh...

Because if that'll get
you out of this slump,

we can go back.

I mean, he's trying.

He's trying lots
of things, but...

this one time, by some miracle,

we met these girls at the park,

and he takes 'em to this
cheap Mexican food place,

down by the apartment.

And, out of, like...

out of, like, nervousness
or something,

he's like, "I'm an ex-UFO
death cult member."

And she's like, "Okay, I
have to go to the bathroom."

And she obviously
never comes back.

And her friend never
returned my calls.

But that's him,
though, you know?

Uh...

He's trying to
do the right thing.

He really is.

But it has to be his way...

which never works.

And so the only thing that's
worse than this shitty life

he's built for us is having
no fucking control over it.

I'm sorry.

Have you talked
to him about this?

No, no, he's my brother.

And you're sure it's a good idea

to go back to the cult?

It's not a cult.

It's a commune.

Uniforms. Redefining words.

Calling death "ascension."

Worshipping a
deity in the forest

that no one else knows about.

And...

castration.

Okay, yeah, that's a cult.

But I actually don't
remember any of those things.

I just remember, like, bonfires,
family time, and good food.

It's wasn't like they were
keeping us prisoner or anything.

Actually, hang on a second.

If they were gonna be, like,

pointing machine
guns at our heads

and make us drink
cyanide Kool-Aid,

why would you be
driving us there right now?

All right, I never saw
anything specifically like that.

But in your distorted
memory, we were, like...

petting deer and
dancing with koalas.

We were, I remember that.

Boobs.

Ah, the boobs.

You broke the goddamn antenna.
Do not put me through this.

You sound like a
raccoon with strep throat.

You sound exactly like the mating
possums outside our window.

Hey, Mom. I know we
don't visit much, but...

I just wanted to say I'm doing
my best to take care of him.

What?

What?

- Nothing.
- I heard you.

No, you didn't.

- You becoming religious?
- No.

You're praying to her grave.

It's not a grave,
it's a memoriam.

Ah, talking to a memoriam.

That's totally not
praying to a grave.

That's sweet. I think
someone's been by or something.

Look. It's brand-new.

No, we actually made that
from when we were little

because she liked to paint.

Wow, that really held up.

What the heck are those?

It's like a volcanic event,

hundreds of
thousands of years ago.

And then erosion or...

something.

Hey, mind of I drive for a bit?

Nah, I'll just go
the rest of the way.

You drove the whole
way. I wanna drive.

I'm driving. Get in.

Not a cult at all.

Smells good.

Smells like the barley.

Hey!

Good to see you two.

What the dickens bring
you all the way out here?

Just thought we'd visit
while you're, uh... here.

We're always here.

You hungry?

I'm always hungry.

Let's get you fed.

You boys remember Tim, right?

- How's it going, Tim?
- Hey.

You gotta try Tim's
new Hefeweizen.

It is delicious.

Whoa! I didn't know you
guys were gonna be here.

It's good to see you guys!

- Shane, Anna.
- Hi!

This is weird. Aaron
is, like, all grown up.

Do you remember me?

Yeah, a little.

So, you all look, uh...

Healthy?

Fresh food, air, and ale.

That'll do it.

I was gonna say
exactly the same.

- This is amazing.
- Thank you.

Shane and Anna, they
grew the barley for that batch,

so they deserve credit.

Tim, his beer, is our
most profitable export.

Yeah.

Oh! You boys haven't met Lizzy.

It's nice to finally
meet you two.

Everyone says all
kinds of stuff about you.

Thanks. Uh, how'd
you end up here?

I was at a mental
health facility up the road,

and I use to wander
out quite a bit.

And on one of my
wanderings, I met Tim

and just realized
I'm better here.

You boys remember Dave, right?

Hey.

You know, Lizzy,
she's a great artist.

Actually, her sketches,
they kind of remind me

of your photography, Justin.

Oh, yeah.

You were a photographer?

Um, not really.

It's when you
were really little.

He was really good.

Well, could have
been, given time.

It's like Shane's magic tricks.

I'm all right. It's a
million hours, right?

- Man, I hope so.
- A million hours?

Yeah, a million hours
is the amount of time

it takes to actually
master something.

So, if you live to
be 115 years old

and you spend your
waking, sleeping moments

just dedicated to
one thing, then...

yeah, mastery is a possibility.

Absolutely.

That's mine.

You think Anna and
Shane are together?

Well, they're all castrated.

So do you mean,
like, emotionally?

They don't seem castrated.

You don't know how
castrated people act.

And you realize she's,
like, 20 years older than you.

- No, she's not.
- Yes.

- No.
- Yeah.

They're all in, like, their
40s. They just look young.

It's weird.

They just look like they
take care of themselves

and don't eat
dirty garbage food.

Taking a nap?

I... am gonna go for a run.

Hey!

Uh, okay, actually, I've
been working on this one.

Pick a card, any card.

No, no, no, no.

He's just gonna keep
picking the same one.

I don't wanna touch the
card. Okay, just put it on top.

Can I show you something
back in my cabin?

Um... right now?

Unless you know a better time.

Sure.

Try this one.

It's interesting.

Did a small batch. Thinking
about doing a big run.

That Tim, he is good.

You, uh... you
figure it out yet?

Not yet.

Eventually, though.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't
so damned left-brained.

It either is or it isn't and...

this equation isn't... yet.

All right.

I gotta ask.

What's it solve?

Wouldn't believe
me if I told you.

I like that everyone here kind
of has a little thing that they do.

Yeah. I mean, some
people have two or three,

but, yeah, everybody
has at least one. Yeah.

So, you're like the
clothing designer?

You do the camp's clothes?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I make a lot of
stuff from scratch, but I...

you know, whatever I can
find at thrift stores and...

That's where I got this.

Yeah.

I used to make a lot of your
clothes. Do you remember that?

No. I mean...

I'm sorry. It's just
been a long time. Sorry.

Yeah.

Do you wanna see
some of my new designs?

Listen, uh, I just
wanted to tell you again

that everything you did,

it ranges from "I don't
care" to "All is forgiven."

Now, that being said,

why come back now?

The video you sent.

What video?

The video.

With Anna talking about...

the end.

Never been a suicide on
this property that I'm aware of.

In fact, I can assure you
that nothing here ends.

All that happens here is that
people live long and healthy lives.

Because of that, they grow to be

the people they want to be.

Pretty simple.

There is something
bigger than us out here.

And now that you're both at an
age where you can understand it,

it'll become...

evident.

All right. Uh...

All right.

I'll get you another beer.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

- Ta-da.
- Oh, whoa.

These are good.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Wait. What do you and Justin do?

Um... we clean.

Impressive?

Didn't you used to like to fish?

Yeah, you know,
when I was a kid, but...

I don't think I even remember
how to tie a fishing knot.

You know?

Uh, do you get paid for this?

What, for being alone with you?

Come on!

Yes, of course!

I mean, the money
comes from the beer, but...

yeah, we all get paid
for everything we do.

So you never have to leave?

All right. Black ace.

Just focus on these
angels here for a second.

One, two...

So we got your red
from earlier, right?

And with this little...

black, yeah.

I think I see what you're doing.

Come here. You're
gonna pick a card.

Come on.

Take a look at it.

Put it back in
wherever you want.

Very good.

Is that your card?

No.

Have you seen Aaron?

Yeah, he's in
Anna's cabin with her.

You all right with that?

Why wouldn't I be
all right with that?

You wanna see another trick?

Come on, just humor me.

It's a new one I'm
working on. Come on.

Relax. Relax.

All right! Who's ready
for The Struggle?

Hey, why doesn't Dave talk?

Brain injury.

Hal says he fell off a building
while working construction,

and Tim told me it
was self-trephination.

You drill a hole in your skull
so you stay permanently high.

He drilled too far.

Ladies and gentlemen,
for most of you,

this requires no explanation.

But we have many traditions
here at Camp Arcadia,

none more prominent
than The Struggle.

We have the
struggle with passion!

The struggle for growth!

The struggle with
a higher power!

Smiling Dave on a ladder.

And...

And...

What, Anna?

That would be all of which we
overcome with perseverance.

You're the one
who invented this,

so why am I always the one
looking ridiculous emceeing it?

Because I'm reigning
champion, that's why.

That you are.

Whoo! I need a breather.

Who's next?

Come on, who's next?

Aaron?

Nah. I'm good. Next
time. Thank you.

Come on.

What do you say, guys,
can we get him up here?

- Come on, man!
- Come on!

Let's go!

There you go.

It's all right. It's all right.

Can I go again?

We never give up.

All right! Whoo!

First man to use a fishing knot

in The Struggle is victorious!

Who's next?

Justin?

I'm sorry. I really
don't want to right now.

You sure?

All right.

Thank you, Lizzy, but I
could really just do this myself.

No, it's fine.

I used to clean up sores
for this gun-nut tweaker guy

out in the woods,
so this is nothing.

Sounds like it's a good thing
you're not seeing him anymore.

Oh, we weren't dating.

He was just this guy I
was sort of obsessed with

when I was on lithium,
thorazine, and PCP.

Hey.

Thanks for being
such a good sport.

I did not mean at
all for that to happen.

I just never understood
the point of that.

Just silly little
metaphors, you know.

Brings the party together.

Frankly, it's a
little embarrassing.

All better.

You two have some fun.

All right. I'm
actually pretty tired.

So I'll see you
two in the morning.

Hey, seriously.

Thanks for doing this.

I'm just happy you get
to see how insane it all is.

Yeah, it's pretty weird.

But, uh, I was thinking. Could
we stay for one more day?

- You're drunk.
- No.

You are drunk. You smell
like a Long Island Iced Tea.

You're drunk.

Can we just stay
through tomorrow night?

You know, I was talking to Anna.

She said that Hal lets
people take his guns out.

We could just kinda...
hang out in the wilderness.

Shoot guns, just you
and me, you know?

Despite all this weirdness, just
kind of enjoy something for once.

I really don't wanna do that.

It doesn't cost anything.

All right. I'll let you
stay one more day.

Hey, Tim.

What's in there?

Brewing equipment.

Until the FBI shows up.

Hey, you asleep?

Hmm?

I was.

And now all I wanna
do is talk to you.

Seriously. Did anything
happen with Anna?

Honestly, no.

Well, she gave me this
look that made me think,

you know, maybe she wanted
to hold hands or something.

- Nice.
- Yeah.

Hey, I really think that
you should have this.

I really think
it's good for you.

But I also think that
you should know

that when you were little,

Anna used to, like,
make eyes at you.

Yeah, it's probably because

she's always been
in love with me.

And we were
meant to be together.

Or maybe she's a pedophile.

Women can't be a pedophiles.

- Yes, they can.
- No, they can't.

- Yes, they can.
- No, they can't.

Are you, like, redefining
the word pedophile?

- In order for a man to have intercourse...
- Go to sleep.

- In order...
- Go to sleep.

- Women can't...
- Go to sleep!

Nice.

Make sure you clean that
before you give it back to Hal.

He gets pretty mad if
you give it back dirty.

I can't really
imagine him angry.

I can.

So your thing was photography?

Nah. I don't really
have a thing yet.

I guess hunting
wasn't your thing either.

I'm just kidding.

Seriously, what
do you think it hit?

I don't know. You're
just bad at shooting.

Hey!

Do you remember me?

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, sure you can.
It'll just sound bad.

Hey, uh, do you have a minute?

And it was like...

something was there.

But-but that I couldn't see.

And it left me this... I think.

Maybe.

It's like I said.

You're at an age now where
you can become a part of it.

So it's gonna be more apparent.

Yeah, but you always
speak in metaphors.

So you don't trust me?

And you're gonna stand
there, you're gonna tell me

that you have never
experienced anything before?

I mean, I remember some
things from when I was a kid,

but kids have imaginations,

and as a grown man now,
I guess the reason why

I sort of dramatically
asked you to come out here

is for you to just tell me,

in your own words,

what is it?

Who's the leader here, Justin?

Uh, you?

There's never been one.

I just talk more.

It's not a very flattering
quality, if you ask me,

but one of the things
that I talk a lot about

is that I don't have answers.

None of us do.

You wanna know what
it is that runs all this?

You go find it.

How is that possible?

It's crazy, right?

Some kind of atmospheric
mirroring effect.

It's like the Northern Lights.

Anyway, two
moons brings a truth.

Three signifies the ascension.

All right, that just all
sounds like metaphor again.

I know, I know.

You know that physics
equation in my room?

- Yeah.
- That's what it is to me.

And I still haven't
finished that.

But what I can tell you,

is if you and Aaron,
you stay one more day,

you go fishing in the lake,

and you go out to this buoy,

you dive straight down and
you grab what you find there.

You're gonna have your answer.

You know how culty
that sounds, right?

Confirm this
thing for yourself...

and you've gotta admit it.

There it is.

A higher power?

A governing force? God?

Infinity solved.

Now, wouldn't that be a
weight off your shoulders?

And if you like having
that weight gone,

you and Aaron have a home here.

Even after the third moon.

Aaron, get on up here.

Get on up there!

Get on! Whoo!

Ow!

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

Here we go.

You call that red
stuff "the flower," right?

Yeah.

This has been
really good for me.

Well, it's not over yet.

Okay.

So I happen to
have this other talent

that's not making clothes
where I can measure

the exact amount of drugs
in my lungs at any given time.

If I were to measure out
an exact amount for you

that won't make
you feel weird or sick

or paranoid or
anything like that,

would that be something
that you're interested in?

Uh...

And there's no
pressure at all. I'm not...

No. No, let's do it.

- Really?
- Let's do it. Come on.

Come on, before I...

Just follow my
lead. Okay, hold on.

Come here.

How do I know when I'm high?

Come here. Come walk
with me. I'll show you.

You know, Tolkien
said it, Lewis said it,

Lovecraft perverted it,

and we just take the
definite face off of it

and we just say,
"Hey, here are the tools,

but you make it what you want."

Totally. And the
interesting thing about that is

when you look at
things like the Hopi...

It's the gun-nut tweaker guy.

Yeah, that looks like
a gun-nut tweaker.

How is that possible?

It's like a... like a heat blur.

You know, it's
a natural illusion.

It has to do with solar winds

and magnetic poles and...

Um...

No. I have no idea.

Nobody in the camp does,

but they're all around the
camp in a perfect circle.

It's why we use a circle emblem.

You usually need the
flower to see it this clearly.

Is the reflection solid?
Can you go through it?

Hmm.

This is why you
sent me that video.

What?

The video you sent us
talking about the ascension.

No, I didn't.

I mean, yes, I made videos
in case you or my sister

or someone came back to
the camp and we weren't here,

but, no, I didn't.

I didn't send that.

That's really strange
because we all kind of agreed

that we wouldn't
share things like that,

especially after your
brother, you know?

My brother what?

I'm having such a
nice time with you.

I'm so glad you're back.

It's just we don't
need to talk about it.

Okay.

Do you hear music?

- Hey. Hi.
- Hi.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I just can't sleep
with everybody up like this.

And I leave these
notes fucking everywhere

saying, please, please,
please shut the hell up!

You, uh... you don't
like the parties?

I did for a few nights,
but after a while...

fuck, man!

What's your name?

Justin.

I'm Jennifer.

Hey, Jennifer.

So if you don't like it here,
why don't you just leave?

It's a really weird story.

You sure you wanna hear it?

It's possible you're
the only woman here

not taken by several men,

so you'd have to
convince me otherwise.

I'm not hitting on you. That
was mostly me making a joke.

I'm 100 percent married, so...

Right. Very nice to meet you.

No, it's fine. You're...

You're all harmless.

A little brainwashed
but mostly harmless.

So you're not part of the camp?

My husband Mike
disappeared near here.

So I came out looking for him.

He just sort of lost it.

And I wandered until
I almost passed out.

Must have been
dehydration or something.

Hal found me.

He said we'd find him.

It'd take some time...

but we'd find him.

So how's the search going?

Uh...

it's been a few, um...

it's been a few...

Our son is with my parents.

So...

I'm gonna go lay back down.

Nice meeting you.

There's something
out here, isn't there?

Yeah.

Yeah, there is.

I saw some things
last night that...

I... I can't...

Hey, you're gonna
hate this. Um...

But what if we stayed?

- Like permanently?
- Yeah.

You know, we'd be taken care of.

Nothing to worry about
except for doing our own thing.

There's kind of an order
to things here, you know?

It's fair.

Like something really
is watching out for us.

I don't know.

I always thought
that if I did experience

that there was something
more to all of this,

that I'd like start going
to church or something.

Everybody thinks that.

But last night I was
walking back to the cabin...

and there was this girl at one
of the cabins, and she was...

What?

She wasn't all "Kumbaya"
like the rest of the camp.

She was really scared
and sad about something.

I don't know, I just...

I don't think comfort
is worth dying for.

Look, man, there is
no mass suicide here.

You're, like, leaping
to conclusions.

We can't go back to our,
like, regular shitty lives

knowing that there's
actually something out here.

What are you doing?
What are you doing?

Hal said the answer is
at the bottom of this lake.

So I am going to
bottom of this lake.

Answer to what?

Exactly what "it" is.

Well, that's way culty.

Oh!

- Not a god, it's a monster!
- What?

There's something down
there! I saw it! It held me down!

- What?
- I don't know!

Go!

We're leaving.

- It's a tape.
- I don't care, we're leaving.

Look, man, I know
you've been just...

dying to make something
up and get me out of here.

But I didn't see a
monster or anything.

And actually,
everything's fine here.

Fine, you can stay. I'm leaving.

Look, we both know that's
just not happening, all right?

Look, we'll go back to the camp.

We'll say our good-byes
like we're normal people,

and then we'll go, all right?

- All right.
- All right. Good.

- Great.
- Good!

I wish you guys
could stay longer.

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah, really hard to leave,
but we gotta get back to work.

Hey, I drew you
a going-away gift.

Oh. Wow. Thank you.

That's, uh...

that's honest.

Hey.

Do you mind if
we get a little...

culty in here?

One last time?

Um... no.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Everybody...

Justin and Aaron found a
message in the lake today.

That's awesome. We haven't
had one of those in a while.

Thought we'd have
a viewing ceremony.

- To send 'em off.
- What is it?

It's how to communicate with us.

With images.

I'm, uh... I'm Michael.

So you guys are,
like, in a church group?

Uh, nice to meet you, Mike.

We're prophets of the
Camp Arcadia faith.

Our whole thing is just
making sure that people know

that self-sacrifice
for the one true god

is the only way to begin
the journey into the cosmos.

Yeah, Justin's
taught me a whole lot

about our coming
apocalypse, so, you know,

if you ever wanna come
worship with us at the camp,

we'd love to have you.

And we also take
small donations.

We're just devoted
to... to... to... to... to...

So...

it appears that the
message is forgiveness.

Forgiveness for those lies.

That was embarrassing.

Guys, guys, guys. Guys, wait up.

I didn't know that's
what it would be.

It's not supposed
to be embarrassing.

It's a lesson.

What does that mean?

Forgiveness.

We forgive you for going
out and evangelizing us

as a UFO death cult or whatever.

Then telling the press,

among other things,
that all of us are castrated.

You are castrated.

As far as I know,

everybody here
has their sex organs.

You told me the camp...
they had to do that.

That they
sanctioned all of that.

- I never said that.
- Yes, you did! Why...

Why did we tell that story?

Why did we go
and tell that story?

I knew there was
something wrong here.

And there is something
very wrong here.

And I did what I had
to do to keep to safe.

And I'm sorry you're
finding out this way...

You made that all up?

Without trying to throw
fuel on the fire here,

would you say maybe it has
something to do with you wanting to lead?

I'm trying to lead?

Even as a little boy, you
were never comfortable

with there being no leader
here giving definite answers.

Maybe you take crappy pictures
because "it" takes pictures.

Maybe you wanna be "it."

You wanna control,
you wanna be the alpha.

You've led to me
so fucking much.

He lied to you. Fuck him!

I pulled the both of you...

out of your
mother's burning car.

I gave you food, I
gave you shelter,

I gave you every
opportunity to grow.

And what you did
to undermine us...

Let's just forget the fact

that we are never gonna get Dave

to take that damned
white button-up shirt off...

Can you imagine
trying to sell your beer

when someone can find a news
article that makes you look like

a dickless, poison
Kool-Aid drinking,

Heaven's Gate offshoot?

That is our livelihood.

So, no! Fuck you!

She's up there, terrified,

with some story
about how you're going

to help her find her
missing husband.

What are you doing here, Hal?

Walk away, man.

- Come on.
- No.

- Let's go.
- No.

- Now!
- No!

You are a fucking cult leader!

I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

Or we can go inside and
we can put that to a vote.

But why don't you just
make it easy on everybody.

God damn it, Aaron.

Fuck!

Hey, I'm sorry to
come by so late.

I'm, uh, lost and, uh...

Hey, I can hear you in there.

It's Justin from ten years ago.

Can you just help me out?

Why are you in my house?!

Why the fuck are
you in my house?!

Uh...

God damn it!
Fuck me all to hell!

Just-just sit down
or whatever, all right?

Careful around my bike!
Don't you fucking touch my bike!

So, a decade ago,

I tell you that you're livin'
in some sort of death cult,

and not only were you not
bright enough then to figure it out,

you actually came back.

You are not smart.

You never have been, no.

I mean, all kids are dumb,

but you're like some sort of
retarded hobbit or something.

I'm sorry. I, uh...

I don't know how I got lost.

I don't know how
you're hanging in there

and standing in front of me.

I don't understand what's
going on at that camp.

Bunch of loopin' prisons, man.

Like shitty pods of time.

Repeatin' over and
over and over again

like rats tellin' stories for
that thing's amusement!

My loop's short as hell, bro.

Hell, some are even shorter.

Hell, you fools, you fools up at
that hippy-dippy camp bullshit,

you're something like,
what, ten years now?

You gotta kill yourself
before the restart

or that thing, that
thing'll do it for ya.

And it's much worse than
anything you can do to yourself.

But the camp prefers that
thing doin' it for 'em, doesn't it?

Yeah, considers it sacred even.

It'll snatch you right
out of your shoes.

I feel terrible.

I know better than that.

Well, it just sounds like you
lost your temper, that's all.

It happens.

Hal.

Anyone want a beer?

Yeah, thanks.

Okay.

Hey, we all know that
your brother's a good guy.

We all knew about
the cult thing, but...

Whatever. It's in the past.

You don't think most of us

have something we wish
we could just leave behind?

The rest of it,
though, it just...

You know, this place
protects us from some of it.

But history repeats
itself, regardless.

The old skipping record
plays on, doesn't it?

I'm just grateful
I get to live at all.

Don't do it if you
don't want to.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

You might not be able to tell
because of that big ol' beard,

but Tim, he just worries a lot.

Anything I need to worry about?

Yeah, you get used to it.

Suicide option. Mm.

I ain't no mathematician,

but every few hours since
'09... now what is that? Hmm?

Well, it's a fucking lot!

But what you wanna
do is, you wanna get...

you wanna get unlost...
and then leave again,

like you're not some Mongoloid
motherfucker, am I right?

'Cause if you let it have you,

and you're still in the
borders when the loop resets,

you'll be stuck as shit forever.

Hmm?

Now, you should be able to
follow that trail there, shouldn't you?

Everything looked different
all of a sudden, and I...

Yeah, I remember that. Oh, yeah.

Thing is, you're
old as fuck now.

And more likely just
to... just to toe the line.

You know, so shit
shifts around a bit,

put some confusion in that
little IQ of yours to get ya.

I just really got to get back to Camp
Arcadia and get back to my brother.

I can do that for you.

Great. How do I get back?

Oh, not for free.

Big 'ol fuck no.

No, you gotta
suck my dick first.

What?

You have to suck my dick first.

I'm just fuckin' with ya!

Your fuckin' face! Uh...

No, but seriously,
not for free, no.

All right, look, I don't
know what I can give you,

but I really just gotta get back
and get back to my brother

and drive us outta here
before whatever's about...

We're all stuck in these
fuckin' things, man!

But you're free,
you're free for now.

It'll get you lost, but you
can walk right through 'em

like some brainless dickhole.

And since you wouldn't know
a carburetor from your cock...

I want you to get me a gun.

We have those back
at camp. I could just...

I ain't falling for that, no.

Sit down.

All right, now this is our
circle, right here, okay?

And there is this bitch-ass
tweaker, with a grip of guns,

who sold me a broken computer

before I was stuck
up in this fuckin' bitch,

and he swore to God
he'd make it up to me.

This is his filthy fuckin' loop,

and this is his shitty fuckin'
cabin right here, all right?

The gun-nut tweaker?

Yeah, the gun-nut tweaker.

You just follow this map

and these loop marker
hoodoo fuckamajigs.

All right, and you'll find this
smelly junkie named Chris

who's got a gun collection
that'd give Yosemite Sam a boner.

Now, you bring me back
a real nice one. Okay?

And I'll draw you one
of these fancy maps,

get you back to your brother.

Oh, and, uh... use this compass.

And trust only this
compass, not what you see.

All right.

It doesn't let me sleep.

Funny thing is,
I don't get tired.

I just...

It doesn't let me dream.

It does that so my mind
never leaves this place.

These three hours...

Using space and
time as its horsewhip.

I'm, uh...

I'm really sorry to hear that.

And I'll, uh...

I'll see you soon.

I have this theory that it's
made up of impossible colors.

See, retinas only have
three types of cone cells,

so maybe none has
the signal strength

to see it in our normal state.

Just a theory, though.

What we do know is that...

it shows us what it sees.

It has a powerful
elegance to it.

So, it was looking at me.

Why did it send me
a picture of a trailer?

Probably where to go.

I was actually
gonna go find Justin.

Well, there you go.

I know that fight was really
hard for all of us last night,

but can you help?

I don't know anything anybody
else doesn't know about life.

But last night's
got me thinking.

Can you have
power over yourself,

if you give up any amount of
authority to something else?

I mean...

I really do have
to find Justin...

I mean, it's a good question.

Always has been, always will be.

Go out to the route,
past Cabin Two.

When you go past it,
you'll see a small trail.

Just follow it for
a really long time.

There's no way I'm not
gonna get lost if I do that.

Can you please
just come with me?

I literally can't go with you
to help you find your brother.

But you should.

And I sincerely hope he's okay.

I really hope you
make your own choice.

Before the third moon is full.

Hal?

Hal.

Tell me what that means.

Saying more would be like

trying to explain
an impossible color.

Yeah?

Uh, hi.

Um...

Carl sent me.

Who?

Carl. He, uh...

Can you just open
the fucking door?!

Uh, Carl sent me and, uh...

- What?
- Are you all right?

Oh, this? Yeah, no, I'm fine.

It's not what it looks like.
Mike's trying to help me out.

He's my buddy.

Trying to, uh, you know,
get me clean and sober!

Okay. Um... so...

Don't be weird,
dude. Come on in.

Please.

- What's your name?
- Justin.

Let me stop you
right there, okay?

Can I ask you a question? Cool.

Do you have any drugs
or crack at all on you?

What?

Like drugs, in your
pocket, right now, on you.

Do you wanna share them with
me? I'd love to share them with you.

But we have to do it fast,
because Mike's... Aah, there he is.

Mike, right?

Yeah.

Do you remember me from...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, we're not
interested in your religion.

And just so you know,
Chris is my best friend,

he's a drug addict, I'm
just trying to get him clean.

There's nothing weird going on.

Hey, I found this hard drive.

I think it might
have the answer.

You hear that? Mike
found another message

on a shitty hard drive.

And it's great to have company.

Hey, Mike, why don't
you get our guest a chair?

Okay, so what can
we do for you, sir?

Basically, Carl said that
you could give him a gun.

Oh.

You told Shitty Carl
you'd give him a gun?

Yeah. I told you
about that a year ago.

- No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.

Me and Shitty Carl
are shooting buddies.

The two of you
smoked crack together

and then would
steal the red buckets

from the Salvation Army
guys outside of grocery stores.

Why is that even relevant?

You have horrible
judgment in other people.

Shh. Shh. Shh, shh.

Can we try it another way?

Please! Please!

I guess that didn't work.

What was that?

It was either our
past or our future.

Doesn't really
make any difference.

Practically the same thing.

See, we've been
stuck in this infinite loop,

and we've been trying to do
different things to get out of it,

and I guess that didn't work.

Oh, my God, if I have
to listen to you say

one more time at the beginning,
"Holy shit, man! Fucking Mike!

How the fuck are you, man?"

I think I might
blow my brains out.

What? What is that?
What accent is that?

Is that Irish?

That's how you sound.
It's what you sound like.

What about you? At the
beginning of the thing?

You come to the woods with
your hair combed full of gel,

all hunched over like some
kind of James Bond with scoliosis

trying to hide a boner.

Hey, can I impart
some wisdom upon you?

Don't ever give in. Not once.

The trick to this whole thing

is to not be afraid
of something that's...

that's horrifying.

And everyone's afraid of it.

But if you let it
control you one time,

it's gonna fucking control
you over and over again.

I mean, look at me and Mike.

We're just a couple of assholes
taking someone else's shit.

You gotta floor it
the fuck out of here.

And if you see that thing,
you don't apologize to it,

you don't bow down
to it, you don't conform,

you just fucking run.

Like your life fucking
depends on it, man,

because your fucking
life depends on it.

All right? That's
my advice to you.

I wish you safe passage.

Cheers.

You ready? You wanna try it?

Yeah. Let's do it.

Follow me. I'll
show you the guns.

Oh!

Don't stay here!

You can't help.
Just leave before it...

Aah!

Oh! Aah!

You know, it is so
strange seeing how close

another loop is to this
one, closed, shitty little area.

How long have you
been stuck in this loop?

Well, that's hard to tell. I
mean, when we first got here,

I said if I got Chris clean
in a week, we'd leave,

and that was, um...

that was a lot of weeks ago.

Yeah, I keep thinking
there's like this configuration

that's gonna break us
out of the story, you know,

like a "Life Rubik's Cube."

The one thing I
do know for certain

is I would rather reset
things on my terms

than allow that
fucker to do it for me.

Well, what's the first thing you're
gonna do when you get out of here?

See my wife Jenn and our baby.

You know, it's funny,
she used to leave these

annoying little notes
around the house.

You know, used to
really get under my skin.

Man, what I wouldn't give to
wake up to one of those notes.

I just hope she's
happy and moved on.

You know, it's
funny, we never, uh...

we never anticipate the ways
we're gonna isolate ourselves

from the ones we care about.

Anyway, I hope you find
your brother, you know.

Good luck, and don't get stuck.

Hey, Mike?

I'm...

I really hope you get out here.

Because fuck you.

Chris, it's Mike!

Your best friend!

Don't shoot!

Holy shit, man! Fucking Mike!

How the fuck are you, man?!

Uh, I'm good, man,
I'm good. How are you?

Fucking fantastic,
man! I'm livin' the dream!

Isn't this place the tits?

Yeah. It's something else.

Justin!

I've been looking
for you all day.

Jesus. You scared
the shit out of me.

Why'd you do that?

Why did you just
take off like that?

I didn't just take off,
I was asked to leave.

I thought you'd
got eaten by a bear.

Now I'm lost. Are you lost?

Yeah, I'm lost. Because you
left the dome light on again

and didn't get a
new car battery.

- Doesn't make any sense.
- You don't make any sense.

- Are you gonna apologize?
- Hurry up.

We're gonna have to push
start the car to get out in time

and you're not very strong.

Hello?

We're, uh... lost.

Ah, the flower.

It's actually a flower.

That's unexpected, right?

No. Can we go?

Yeah, there's no one here.

I think I can figure it
out with a compass.

It'll just take forever.

It'll just take forever.

It'll just take forever.

So, Anna...

Yeah. Yeah, we slept together.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Congrats.
- Thank you.

I've never done that.

Yeah, we went to
bed around midnight,

and had a really
good night's sleep

and then when I woke up,
I saw you were still gone

so I came to rescue
you. You're welcome.

You mean you literally
just slept together?

- Yeah, that's what I said.
- I know that's what you said,

but usually when people
say they slept together,

it means that they had sex.

Pretty sure the word "sleep"
means when you close your eyes,

get comfortable,
become unconscious...

Never mind. Never mind.

God, I feel like I'm
gonna die of thirst.

You all right?

Not much left.
You don't need it?

No, Aaron, I don't need water.

All right. Now, if we hurry,

we might make it back to
camp before the third moon.

Come on, let's go.

I gotta talk to you
about something.

Great. Tell me on the
way back to the car.

No, man.

Can you just have
a seat for a second?

I'm staying.

You can stay, too.

I know you're not
going to, but, you know...

you can.

You wanna die over
and over and over

and live your life on
repeat from here to eternity?

You act like it's crazy,

like I'm the first
person in history

that actually wants
to live forever.

With people that like him.

You know, there's not
much difference between

being stuck in a loop
and being stuck repeating

the same shitty day over and
over like back home until I die.

But back home,
anything could happen.

It could be so much
better than the camp.

We tried that, man.

For almost a decade.

And I'm ready to go
back to not hating my life.

Dying just takes a second.

And a shitty life is long.

Aaron, I think you are making
a very, very big decision

with very little thought.

And you realize that you do this
once and you can never leave?

Anything is better than
the life you make me live.

All right. Um...

Let's, uh...

let's get you back.

Aah!

God damn it!

Seriously, what
do you think it hit?

No. Wait! Wait!

Shit!

They're coming back.

I'll feel guilty the rest of
my life if I leave you here,

so I guess I'm staying, too.

You're respecting
my decision to stay?

Uh, I guess.

If that's the way you wanna
think about it, yeah, sure,

I'm doing that.

All right. Let's go.

What?

All I ever wanted was...

Let's go!

- Please start! Please start!
- Let's go!

All right, when you
get enough speed,

I'm gonna jump in.
Then you jump in.

And then I'm gonna throw it
in first and let the clutch go.

I know how to push-start a car!

I'm just saying
what we're doing!

- Let me drive.
- What?

Let me drive the car!

Just let me get
it started first!

Uhh! Fuck!

Okay, you drive the fucking car!

Yeah, I'm gonna
drive the fucking car!

Hey, listen, man...

Cause we're about to die, I
really think you should know...

you mess up everything.

You really do.

I never say it,

but you have just completely
messed up our lives.

Aah!

But you're family.

That's what family does.

All I've ever wanted is just to
be able to mess up with you.

To be able to mess up our
lives just as much as you do.

All right, listen, on
tombstones it says like

"Beloved Mother"
or "Beloved Brother",

not "Beloved Camp Member".

And there's a reason
for that, all right?

From here on out, we're equals.

I hear you.

You're my brother.
And I love you.

- I love you, too.
- And I need you to start this car

because I don't want you
to die or me to die, okay?

- Get in!
- All right!

- We made it!
- We made it!

- We did it!
- Yes!

Yeah!

We need gas.

No, we're good.

No, it's on empty.

- It's always like that.
- Always on empty?

Empty means there's
no fuel in the tank.

We couldn't even...

You figure it out.
