And free chips.

You can't beat free chips.

Well, all right. Then what about before me?

What was your best. No,

what wasyour worst ever gig?

Well, don't keep secrets. I hate it.

I can smell them a mile off.

Before you started the band,

we were incomplete.

Oh.

Yeah, we were really, really sh*t.

There were no worse gigs. In fact they

were all contendersfor worst gig.

Should we get back on it then?

We don't want to enragethe

rock and roll gods.

We create our own fate.

There's no gods to punish us.

Well, that's lucky, Ethan,

because your last riff was sh*t.

Come on, bro.

Um, listen, Callie, I'm having a bit of

a problemwith food lately, just meat.

So I don't knowwhat you've prepared

but pleasedon't be offended if I...

I'm practically vegan myselfthese days.

Wow.

Fantastic.

Mmm. Mmmm.

This is really good.

- Yeah?

- Honestly, really good.

Would I get a good reviewin your magazine?

Sure, why not?

If I've still got a job that is.

What do you mean?

Well, turns out the, uh, gastronomical

readership isn'tas veggie-friendly as I'd hoped.

So apparently if I don't

starteating meat again soon, then...

Hmm, what? What is it?

Nothing. It's an animal, that's all.

You don't get much of thatin the big city.

I guess not.

I hated it actually.

So leave.

Leave with me.

I've known you for, like, two hours...

Hey, you've known me for months.

You know everything about me.

I touched youfor the first time today.

Two minutes ago.

Yeah, but we have a connection.

It's rare.

No, my sisters...

Your sisters will get over it.

Hmm.

How about we get to knoweach other?

This is wrong.

What the f*** was that?

I better go out to take a look.

Yeah, here, here, I'll come with you.

This is happening too fast. Stay here,

I'll be right back.

Callie!

Great.

Callie?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Callie?

How life repeats itself,

on a blinded promise...

ready to fly the nestabandoning

thosethat are near...

but the gods remain vengeful,

the dead must be avenged.

Hello?

Hello?

Ryan.

My God, there you are.

What the fuckare you doing here?

What do you meanwhat am I doing here?

I came to find your ass.

You're the one that texted me.

I didn't text you.

Sure you did.

You didn't send me that?

Rescue you. Rescue you from what?

We've got a problem.

Come with me.

Come on.

How could somebody else text me

to come and be here, help you, rescue you,

I don't, I don't...

I did not text you.

The only theory I can thinkis Lydia.

- Callie is deceiving herself...

us.

Rebelling.

What you do about her?

We must convince her.

Sister,

where have you been? We were worried.

We need to talk.

I'm so sorry, Tess.

I'm not like you.

I wasn't like me once either.

- Don't forsake us again,

or we'll perish.

I'm being torn in twodirections,

it's so hard.

It is.

But you must keep trying.

But I'm different.

I don't think you are.

I've made a decision, Tess.

I'm choosing Dan.

This can't happen.

I'll be leaving in the morning.

You can't go.

We have stood by youall these years.

We get the same text...

and then calliejust goes missing?

Forget this, man, let's blow this joint.

I'll take you back to London,

we'll go hang at the restaurant.

No, no. F*** that.

I'm not leavinguntil I found Callie.

Forget that girl, man, f*** her.

No, no, f*** you.

I'm sick and tired about

hearingabout your f***ing restaurant.

The place makes me sick, all right.

My wife died in that kitchenwhere

you prepareyour shitty food.

It's like eatingher f***ing flesh.

I'm done with it.

I"m moving on.

I mean, after all isn't

thatwhat you f***ing wanted?

I'm gonna pretendyou didn't say that.

Oh, sorry.

We have a guest.

No, I'm...

You're Ryan,

I know,

we've been expecting you.

Dinner will be served shortlyif you'd like

to make your waydown to the dining room.

After you.

Callie will be joining us soon, daniel.

This stuff is excellent.

I thought we were going to jam.

We are jamming.

We must at leastget really drunk.

So that sounds good.

Now that I'm leaving the island,

can I be your singer?

Of course you can.

When did you join the band?

About a month ago.

She replaced my best mate Sam.

Did I?

He died.

Why didn't you tell meabout this before?

It was about time.

All right.

He could bea real pain in the ass.

We don't have to talk about it.

- I just wanted to loosen him upbefore the gig.

- Ethan, stop!

So, I spiked his drink.

Turns out he hadthis medical condition.

We didn't knowanything about it.

He was a great musician.

Way better than me,

the pigswere after me from the start.

Lennie hadn'tgiven me an alibi,

but shealways comes through for me.

I...

Go on.

I killed him.

I killed him. And I got away with it.

It was an accident.

I knew,

and deep down,

she knows I knew.

I have to get out.

- You all have to leave.

Are you listening to me?

- Get off this island, now!

Of course I don'tblame the sisters,

they can'thelp it if all kinds of...

rouges,

and riffraffcome to show hospitality.

No, I'm rightabout this aren't I?

Yes.

Good evening everyone.

Don't worry, Daniel,

calliewill be joining us shortly.

Now, it is my absolute pleasureto

inform youthat one of our finest calves

is being slaughteredfor

this evening's meal.

We do after all havea renowned food

criticand restaurateur in our company.

I see you've metour other guests.

Callie will be all rightin the morning.

You guys are f***ed up.

Oh f***. I'm gonna get smashed.

I have it on very good authoritythat we

have a recoveringvegetarian in our midst.

And I just like to reassure himor her that

we take great careof our livestock here.

We keep them safe and well fed.

Oh, that's nice isn't it, george?

Until they're up for the chop.

Even then, George I can assureyou

it's a very civil affair.

They barely feel a thing. We all come to

our endone way or another, do we not?

Now, as we eat tonight,

I pray we take a moment...

to considerthe mortality of the

livingand the souls of the dead.

And what have we here, miss Lydia?

Well this, in my opinionis one

of the finestcuts we've ever had,

a delicacy some might say.

Ethan?

Ethan, get up.

God, I'm starving.

The verdictof the critic is upon us.

Five star.

So the local faredoes have a

knackfor coaxing the tongue.

First class, Lydia, first class.

Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan?

Ethan?

No!

Ethan?

No!

The hour's now, Callie.

Lennie!

Ethan?

Ethan!

Tess! No!

No! Get off me. They're

trying to destroy us.

We are here for a reason.

You're kept here as a prisoner.

It can't be. We all die.

Um, you said beef. It's interesting.

How is it prepared?

Family secret, I"m afraid.

I could tell you,

but then I'd have to kill you.

- What's happened?

- Callie.

What about Callie? Where is she?

Callie, in the woods.

Dan, Dan. What are we doing, man?

This place isa f***ing freak show.

Let's get out of here.

I'm not sure what elvirawas serving

back there, but it wasn't beef.
