[Man On Radio]

Business is off-

[Radio Stops]

What are you doing up?

The car- The lights were on.

Someone must have went out

and get something.

Well, they're off now.

That's 'cause

I turned 'em off-

Twice.

They came back on by themselves.

It must just be

a short or something.

I'll check it out in the morning.

This was on the front seat.

It was Sophie's.

I packed it away..

[Sobs]

earlier today.

[Sniffles]

Everyone keeps asking me

why she did it.

Like- Like I should have

seen it coming. Like-

- Like it's my fault she's gone.

- Megan.

That is crazy.

No one blames you.

She's my sister.

Nobody was closer to her than me.

- I should have seen it.

- Hey, come here. Come on. Come here.

- [Sobbing]

- It's not your fault.

Come on.

It's not your fault.

You know, I didn't see it coming either.

Nobody did.

Look at me.

Hey. Look at me.

- [Sobbing]

- Look at me.

I can't.

Megan, look at me.

We both loved Sophie.

And even though she and l

weren't together anymore...

we were still close.

You know, she never judged people.

So don't judge yourself.

That's not what she'd want.

Thank you.

You were always so good to her.

You guys make it easy.

[Sniffles]

[Whimpers]

I just keep thinking about Sophie...

about what she would want.

I think she'd want us to be happy.

I just want to feel something again.

I know.

- What?

- Nothing.

[Snickers]

[Chuckling]

[Mouthing Words]

- Morning.

- [Together] Morning.

Late night?

Uh, I guess.

Hey, Christian.

Hey.

Did any of you guys

use the car last night?

Uh-uh. You saw

Mark and I got to bed.

The lights were on

and the door was open.

- You sure nobody went out there?

- No.

Right.

You know, come to think about it,

I did hear something last night.

- You did?

- Yeah.

I mean, it started off real faint...

and then it grew with intensity.

It was like, uh-

"Oh, Christian.

- [Laughter]

- "Oh, Christian.

"Oh, Christian, please don't stop.

Please just keep-

- Stop it.

- "Oh, don't stop it.

"Keep- Oh!

Keep going, Christian.

Please don't stop. Please keep going."

And then it stopped.

[Laughing]

Okay, shut it off.

Can't find anything. I think it's probably

just a loose connection somewhere.

But the door was open too.

Meg, I checked.

There's nothing missing.

- You wanna break out the canoe?

- [Christian] Sure.

All right.

Guess I'll get a head start then.

Do you want to go for a canoe ride?

[Laughs]

No. I think I'm gonna go for a run.

Okay. I'll see you

when you get back.

[Mark]

Okay, "Smoochy McSmooch."

See you.

[Moans, Gasps]

[Man]

Hey.

What you doin',

pokin' around my truck?

Oh, nothin'. Sorry.

- That hat in your truck-

- What about it?

Where did you get it?

What the hell are you doin'

out here, anyway?

I was jogging.

Yeah. Well, all the rain and everything...

got the swamp all "swole" up.

Creates a lot of sinkholes.

Now, if you get in one of those...

they won't find your carcass

until the dry season-

maybe not at all.

Can I give you a lift?

Oh, no, no.

That's okay. I'm all right.

Thanks.

- [Gunshot]

- Should I get a bigger bottle?

Just drink your beer, baby.

- Drink your beer.

- [C*cks Rifle]

[Gunshot]

This thing isn't calibrated right.

I can't imagine why her parents

would keep it around.

Can't hit a damn thing with it.

No, honey, you're hitting something.

It's just not that bottle.

This is completely

none of my business-

about you and Megan.

- I mean, I'm happy you guys are together.

- [Gunshot]

We all are, but she's-

- She's just really vulnerable right now.

- [Gunshot]

And she's my best friend,

and-and I worry about her.

- It's cool, Zoe. I get it.

- [Gunshot]

But I'm not gonna make Megan

do anything she doesn't want to do.

We're just takin' it

one day at a time.

I know. Okay. I know.

- Right?

- I know. I know.

- Okay.

- [Gunshot]

Well, looks calibrated to me.

- Baby, where were you aiming?

- Straight ahead, honey.

- Straight ahead.

- Gimme that.

- Mm-hmm.

- Thank you.

[Vehicle Approaching]

Sh*t. I hope we didn't

piss off the neighbors.

Lish, we don't have any neighbors.

Redneck alert.

Hey. How you doin'?

Hey.

Ran across one

of your friends earlier.

Looks like she had a little trouble

out in the swamp.

Thought I'd drop over and make sure...

she got back okay.

Yeah, no, no.

She's fine. Thanks.

"Brung" ya a fresh-picked

Louisiana watermelon.

Name's Leonard.

Need anything, just give a shout.

- I'm right across the lake over here.

- Will do.

[Water Running]

Hey. You ran into

that creepy old guy?

Yeah. While I was jogging.

It's no big deal.

Really. Everything's fine.

[Shower Running]

[Moaning]

- Oh! Ta-da.

- Okay, wait. Wait.

- Let's get another game goin'.

- I need to use the restroom.

Sophie. Sophie!

- Call an ambulance!

- [Moans]

Sophie, wake up!

- Help me.

- Sophie! Grab her legs. Come on.

- Hurry up. Hurry up.

- Sophie.

- Is she breathing? Is she breathing?

- I can't feel her pulse.

Sophie, wake up.

Come on, Sophie, wake up.

Sophie!

[Sobbing]

- [Zoe] Call 911!

- Please!

- How many pills did she take?

- Sophie!

- [Zoe] What is that? What did she take?

- [Christian] Oh, God.

- Where's the ambulance?

- They're gonna need to pump her stomach.

- Somebody please wait for the ambulance.

- Sophie!

Wake up!

[Sighs]

[Clock Ticking]

[Groans]

Damn.

I forgot to get limes

for the marinade.

Can someone please make a run

to the store for me?

Don't look at me.

I'm not goin' there again.

Why, Zoe? What happened?

- I thought you wanted to be the grocery girl.

- Rule number one:

Do not purchase tampons

from the guy you're trying to hit on.

- [Laughs] Nice.

- Way to reel 'em in, Zoe.

What was I supposed to do? There's no

friggin' store within 20 miles of this place.

- Can't you guys just use a napkin or something?

- Ew.

That's disgusting.

- Okay, well, I still need a volunteer, so-

- I'll go.

What? I don't mind.

[Lish]

Cool. Thanks.

See you later.

- [Car Starts]

- [Mark] She seems to be doing okay. You know?

- Yeah. I think she's all right.

- [Car Drives Away.]

Zoe, don't! Oh, my God.

- [Christian] What the hell is that?

- That's so gross.

I'm tellin' you, man,

there's something not right with that guy.
