- Pound cake.

The girls are breaking

out dessert...

before the other house eats it.

Hey, Mike, I need to

show you something.

The numbers that I remember...

from the box that was brought

here from the other house...

are these numbers.

But these are the numbers

that I found here...

in this notepad.

And I just asked everyone if

they can remember their number.

Beth and Lee are from

this house originally,

because they have never left.

But the rest of us...

We are not from this house.

We are visitors.

Which means that this

Lee is not your wife.

Are you with me?

Well, there's more.

Because Hugh and Amir...

are from a third house.

He just showed me his phone.

It's not cracked.

Remember that dark area

that we walked through?

I have a feeling that whoever

walks through that...

is like they end up in the

middle of a roulette wheel,

and they will just end

up somewhere by chance.

And whoever walks through there...

will not return to the

house that they just left.

And I think that we need to find our way

back to our house before the comet passes...

because we... once it...

once it passes,

we might just be stuck

exact... here.

Wherever we are.

I don't want to be stuck here.

If your theory is true...

If we walk through the dark space,

and it is a roulette wheel,

there's no way we can be sure...

that we would go back

to our original house.

I think we just stay here.

I think we're stuck here.

I put it out near the gate.

Should be all right.

If we all stay here,

we should be okay.

Don't open it.

Who is that?

Oh.

- What is it?

- Mike.

Oh, f*** me. Oh, jeez.

"Mike, my friend, What is it?

Beth plus book equals Trinidad Club.

Don't let it happen,

whatever it takes, buddy."

What is this?

It's just this note.

It's... Mike had this...

He had this crazy idea that maybe

if he left this note out there,

it could stop them

getting the book.

It's nothing.

It was a stupid idea.

But our Mike didn't deliver it.

What is this?

Just some crazy other Mike

running around. It's nothing.

- You know what it is? What is this?

- We talked about it.

What is it?

Really, it's nothing.

- Just let it go, and...

- Then why can't you tell us?

Beth?

Mike, what is this? Oh, sh*t.

It's...

Nothing.

If it's nothing,

then why does my wife...

have a f***ing nosebleed?

- Oh.

- Oh, honey. Oh, God. Oh, God.

- Beth, what the hell is this?

- I told you.

- I told you this was the worst.

- What is the idea?

12 years ago. Mike and Beth.

- You've gotta be kidding me.

- He was gonna blackmail himself...

- What is this?

- so they would not get the book.

This is bad. This is really bad.

- Wait. You never told Hugh?

- It was on my to-do list.

We have to just get

through the night, okay?

Let's just try. He told you.

He said he told you about it.

Why didn't you tell me?

- Because you didn't say anything about it.

- Who else knew about this?

Who else knew about this?

- Lee, did you know about this?

- Yes.

- Kevin, did you know?

- He told us. He told you. He...

- Everybody knew about this.

- We thought you knew.

Everybody knew about this except me?

Hugh, listen. It's...

It's not what it seems. It's...

- We don't even belong here.

- You are f***ing too much, man.

- You are f***ing too much.

- Listen. We're visitors here.

- This isn't our house.

- What are you talking about?

This is Lee and Beth's house.

You sleep with my wife, and

this is what you're telling me?

Check your phone.

Is your phone broken?

What the f*** does that

have to do with anything?

- Is your phone broken?

- What the f*** does that have to do with anything?

- Just do it.

- Show us.

No. My phone is not broken.

Now what does that have to do

with you sleeping with my wife?

From the beginning of the

evening, your phone was broken.

- No. Em's phone is broken.

- So is yours.

Your... The box. The

first box that we got,

we had, like, a random item.

W-What w-was your random item?

What the f*** does this

have to do with anything?

Answer him.

- The stapler.

- No, no, no.

- What?

- We had an oven mitt.

And ours was a ping-pong paddle.

- What?

- Mine was a napkin.

What the f*** are you talking about?

Hugh, that is not my Lee. That is not

your Beth, and I am not your Mike.

You... You aren't mad at me.

W-We're in a different...

a different reality here.

Yeah, we're in a different reality

because the reality where I am from,

my best friend didn't

sleep with my wife.

Hugh, do you not understand

what I'm saying?

This all started tonight, and if there

are a million different realities,

I have slept with your wife

in every one of them.

- You f***ing...

- No, no, no.

Hugh! Hugh!

Come on!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah. Settle down.

I'm gonna get some ice.

I'm gonna get some ice.

Are you okay?

Sit down.

You okay, baby?

- Here, let me give you a little of this.

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I'm going to put something on it.

I'll put something on it.

You know, I've made some... some

choices, that I'm stuck with. Um...

I'm stuck here.

I'm like the dead cat, right?

This whole night we've

been worrying...

there's some dark version

of us out there somewhere.

What if we're the dark version?

What's that?

- All right.

- Goddamn it!

Why didn't you tell me?

There's someone in the house.

Get the hell outta here!

- Oh. No, no, no, no, no.

- Jesus. What's going on?

- Is he all right?

- Are you okay?

- Who the f*** was that?

- Mike? Mike?

Does anybody know what to do?

- Mike?

- Is he breathing?

- Jesus Christ!

- Laurie, it's okay.

- Calm down.

- Laurie, Laurie, stop.

Laurie, Jesus.

- Shh.

- Kevin, shut her the f*** up.

It's okay, Laurie.

Just breathe. You're all right.

You're all right.

Em. Em.

Em, where are you going?

Just calm down. It's all right.

- Get off me!

- Get a rag. Get a towel. Anything.

- Here, here, here, here.

- Get it off!

- Get it off! I can't f***ing stand blood.

- Okay. It's off.

It'll be all right.

Just calm down.

Get the f*** away.

Get the f*** away.

You're scaring the sh*t

out of everybody.

Who are you? Who are

you f***ing people?

And you said... All

you guys are crazy.

You were always f***ing crazy.

She's bad news.

It's been years we

haven't seen each other.

You know, Vietnamese is

a pitch-based language.

D.H.R. Yeah.

It really is a pitch-based language.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Cheers.

And I don't think

I'm working a lot.

I have to work a lot, but

it's gonna be a nice balance.

What are you gonna do while he's working?

What are you gonna do?

I don't know. Just hang out.

- Investigate?

- Yeah, investigate.

Fundraise. Get those

Vietnamese to invest in...

- Fundraise in San Francisco.

- Invest in the Vietnamese.

- It's supposed to be gorgeous, though.

- This time of year.

My cousin lived over there

for about a year...

and said it was just spectacular.

- Have you been there before?

- No. Not Vietnam. Cambodia.

Cambodia was awesome.

Did you see Angkor Wat
