How's that sound?

Spider, what's wrong?

Why do you look so scared?

I'm... scared of

getting the fear.

What?

What?

The fear.

You never heard of that?

Don't laugh, don't laugh!

I'm serious. The fear.

You know, when you do

too many drugs

and then you get, like,

all freaked out and crazy?

Spider, there's no f***ing

such thing as the fear.

Just take

a hit, bro.

Take a f***ing

hit and chill out!

- I'll take a hit if you don't film it.

- Promise.

Yeah?

Scout's honor.

- Ahh.

- No, no, no.

You've got to, like,

breathe it in-

- through my nose?

- Breathe through your nose.

That was

huge, girls!

Oh, man!

Oh, my God!

F***er's

gonna die!

F*** this.

Can't take that.

Careful, bro!

- I'm sorry!

Oh, my God,

my throat's on fire.

Wendy, what the f***

were you saying before

about us all gettin' killed?

Wait, what?

When did she say that?

We were over by

the mushroom tree.

When we were standing

over by the tree,

she was like, "you're all

gonna f***in' die!"

What do you mean, like, here?

Like, here-here?

Here?

- Did you guys not hear about this?

- No.

Why the f*** would

I come to this lake

if I heard about some

damn murders out here?

Yeah. It was

pretty bad.

- Wait.

- Are you being serious?

You're f***in' with us!

Get outta here!

No, I'm being dead serious.

Well,

what happened?

Um...

You know, the weird thing is

that I don't remember

what he looked like.

What do you mean,

you don't remember?

What who

looked like?

What are you talking about?

- What?

- F*** you! F*** you! I told you guys!

- What the f***?!

- The fear! You see!

She gave me

the f***in' fear!

- You know what?

- F*** this! F*** this!

- I'm going swimming.

- Seriously?

- Yep, seriously.

- Go for it!

Will you strip

down for me, Joey?

- I don't care.

- Oh, yeah?

Are you

sure you wanna see that?

Like I said earlier,

2- inch cock.

Mmm...

Probably gonna be

two inches in a minute!

Aah! Oh, f***!

Oh, it's f***in' cold, man!

Oh, my God! You-!

That was crazy!

That was f***in' beautiful.

I'll join you in a minute.

Or not. We'll see.

Ohh!

Are you se-?

What the hell?

Is he-?

- I'm f***in' with you!

- F*** you!

Dude, I've got to take a sh*t. You

just scared the sh*t outta me.

Can I come with you?

Spider, did you

bring the f***ing camera?

No.

Yeah.

So, what was the deal

with Wendy...

- And all that killer sh*t?

- I don't know.

That f***ing story

was creeping me out.

- She is weird. - I know, right?

That's what I'm talking about.

The fear, right there.

What are you doing behind there?

It really stinks.

Spider, you wanna

see something sickening?

- Sure!

- It's f***ing disgusting.

This is my new tryout,

Spider, just for you.

No one has seen this yet.

This sh*t is red hot.

Prepare for awesome.

Wait, what?

What the f***?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, your eye!

Look at your f***ing eye!

What the f***?

Oh, f***! F***!

F***! F***! F***!

Oh, f***, f***, f***!

Hey, Joey.

Oh, hey, what's up?

Oh, God, it's gettin'

f***in' cold.

Where are the other guys at?

They left. Wanna f***?

Uh...

- They left?

- Did you hear what I said?

Uh... so they just

left their stuff?

Joey, please do not

tell me you're a virgin.

What?

Come on, I think we should

get back into the lake,

f*** each other's brains out,

and we could even film it

for prosperity.

Wow. Uh...

Turn that sh*t off.

Don't you wanna f*** me?

You were serious

earlier, weren't you?

About the murders?

I remember reading

about it now.

It was, like, four kids

were killed, and the guy-

they said the guy was,

like, insane.

He was beyond insane.

He was evil.

This lake ran red

with their blood,

and I came back... To move on.

I- I get it.

It's some kind of, like,

post-traumatic stress

therapy or something.

No, it's not therapy.

I brought you back

because I needed bait.

Bait?

They never caught him, Joey.

They never believed me, how-

how he was everywhere.

How he could be

at two places at once.

That wall back there- my friend

smashed her head open on it.

Wendy, this is crazy, okay?

I think you need help.

Maybe we should just get the others

and get the f*** outta here.

- They're dead, Joey.

- He's back. No.

And this time, I'm ready for you.

Get that sh*t outta here.

I think you need help.

Unh!

Give it to me. Sh*t.

Come on!

Come on, f***er!

Why can't I film you?

F***!

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Oh, f***.

You came... Back... For nothing.

If you're watching this...

Don't come here!

Joey?

Joey?

What

are you waiting for?

I beat you,

one on one, a**hole.

Oh, f***!

Where the f***

did those guys go?

Where the f*** did they go?

Here you go.

I've got a flashlight.

Probably f***in'

each other downstairs.

Dude, we were just downstairs.

They're not downstairs.

Where do you think they're at?

I don't know.

I'll go look for 'em.

You look through these

f***in' tapes, okay?

No, no, no.

Just- look-

just like that, you're gonna leave

me in here with this dead f***er?

Sorry if your vagina

hurts there, sister,

but someone's gotta do it.

Just get outta the way.

Just... f*** it.

- Hey!

- Hi!

How was-

how was work?

It was fine.

One of the other girls,

uh, called in sick,

so I was the only one

answering phones all night.

Also, my- my arm's

been really bothering me.

It's like I bruised it

or something,

but I don't remember how.

I think you can see.

There's a bump there.

Can you see?

Mnh-mnh.

Well...

I know I said

I didn't want this,

but when you're a doctor,

could you just support me,

and I'll just...

Stay at home?

I guess, yeah,

if you want that.

That was easy.

I mean, do you want me to

make it difficult for you?

Like, um...

I don't know, Emily.

I guess you'll have to

convince me here.

Really?

I mean... maybe

a little convincing, or...

Well, how 'bout now?

Maybe a little more?

How 'bout now?

Well, now I can

show you my apartment.

Yay. I mean... I'm gonna

see it soon enough.

Well, fall break's

not soon enough.

Um... I know.

All right, so this...

Like, right here...

Uh, this is where

I heard the footsteps.

Um, back there?

Yeah.

Right.

I mean, could it have been

coming from upstairs?

No. I mean...

I know- I mean, my

neighbor always wears heels,

so I know what

that sounds like.

It was weird. It was like,

while it was happening,

it didn't seem like it was

real, but I was awake.

And you didn't check?

Are you kidding me?

No way.

I can't believe

I was even, like,

able to fall back asleep.

I mean, it sounds like

you were asleep.

Okay, well,

next time it happens,

I'll call you

and you can watch me,

and maybe I'll be brave

enough to open the door.

'Kay.

Okay.

Emily?

Hello? Hey.

Hey. Hey.

What's?

What's going on?

There's something

at my door. Listen.

Did you hear that?

What was that?

Shh.

Did you see that?

Emily, what are you doing?

I'm going to open

the door with you here.

That's stupid. Why?

No, no, this is

just like before.
