Creep 2

Oh, fuck.

Holy shit.

Fuck no.

Hello?

Hey, man.

Hey, you okay? You look troubled.

Oh, yeah, sorry. It's just, um, you should come see this.

Uh...

What's going on, buddy?

Remember I told you I was getting those calls,

and I had that DVD sent to me?

I know.

It's happening again?

Yeah.

- Oh, my god. -I thought that was over, but...

I just had a package outside, and...

- Just now? - Yeah.

That was in there.

This person sent you a stuffed baby wolf?

I mean, I guess.

It doesn't make any sense.

There was also this DVD that was in it.

Dave, this is your...

That's your home.

Dave.

Yeah, I know, I know.

This is serious.

Whoever shot this, they shot it last night.

And that's me last night.

We have to call the police.

- You need to call the police. This is serious. -No, no.

No, I already called the police the last time,

and nothing happened, okay?

They said they...

Well, that's unconscionable.

- That's unconscionable. -No, they even sent a patrol car.

- That's unconscionable. - Nothing has actually happened.

Where's your gun?

Are you serious?

- Well, you need... - I don't own a gun.

- You're gonna need something. - That's not necessary.

- It's not necessary. -Dave, I don't think you're taking this seriously enough.

I'm sorry, I kinda just ambushed you, uh...

No, it's okay man.

- It's good. It's good. - No. No, uh...

Do you want a beer?

- I would love one. - Yeah?

- Thank you. - Yeah.

I think I need some alcohol.

- Okay. - Okay, great.

It's crazy, Dave.

It's fine. It's fine.

It's okay. It's okay.

Hi, sweet boy.

Hello.

So, what is going on with you?

Are you serious? What's going on with me?

Yeah.

God damn, you're awesome.

I mean, here you are, dealing with this potential stalker situation,

and you're concerned with me and my feelings?

Mmm-hmm.

Fuckin' love you, man.

Aw.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Mm.

This is great, isn't it?

- Yeah. - Two guys just hanging out,

throwing back a couple of cold ones.

Really wish I didn't have to say what I have to say to you tonight.

Oh. What's that?

I'm worried about us.

Mm.

- Oh, uh, you are? - Aren't you?

Uh, us, we're good. We're friends. We...

We hang out sometimes. We're...

Come on, Dave.

You and I both know there's a lot more at stake than that.

- Okay... -Meeting at the same coffee shop,

in the same Tuesday morning,

reading the same exact edition of infinite jest?

Hmm.

And if that wasn't kismet,

if we weren't meant to be best friends or soulmates,

and started out so hot and heavy like that, and then...

We turned into this...

Well, it's disappointing.

And I can't help but think if we...

If we aren't headed for greatness,

then maybe we just end it right here...

Tonight.

Okay, I don't think that's necessary.

Dave, if I ask you a question, would you answer me honestly?

Yeah, of course.

Do you ever think about how...

We met right around the same time

you received your first DVD in the mail?

You just thought about it, didn't you?

I didn't.

Dave, you just thought about it.

I didn't, I swear.

Dave, listen to me. It's okay, okay?

Everything that's about to happen to you here tonight

is okay, and it's not your fault.

You understand me?

- No, I don't understand... - Okay, now, listen.

There's a camera inside this wolf, okay?

Now I've been filming you in some way, shape, or form since the day we met.

This is baby peach fuzz. Say hi.

I was gonna record our entire relationship

and commemorate it with a beautiful 80-minute film,

and you deserve that.

You deserve it because you're a beautiful person,

and I want to give that to you so bad, but...

I can't.

'Cause ever since I turned 40,

I don't know what's happening to me, Dave. I just...

I've lost my inspiration, I have no joy,

and my work...

I don't even know if I can do this anymore.

God damn it.

What's happening to me?

Hi, I'm Sara.

Welcome to encounters.

The show where I look behind the strange world of online personal ads

to try to uncover the humanity underneath.

- Hey, Wade. - Hey.

I'm Sara.

Hey, Sara, how you doin'?

I hope you don't mind I brought my camera.

If you don't mind, Marilyn Monroe already lives in the wall.

Oh, yeah.

There she is.

So you were trying to make your pottery earlier.

- Yeah. - You were telling me about it.

Who are these people who write these ads?

What is their story?

This place has a cold energy to it.

Mmm-hmm.

Most of the spirit pots that I build

are to deflect that cold energy.

This is my little jaws 2.

He's a little shark.

- Yeah, it does look good. - It does.

Little jaws.

Maybe we're all a little bit weirder than we give ourselves credit for.

- May I come in? - Yeah, come in.

What did you... What were you looking for when you posted your ad?

You know...

You know, life is lonely.

- Yeah. -It's nice to have someone to talk to.

So subscribe and join me on this journey.

- Hey. - Hi, welcome.

You never know who you might meet on the next...

- Is it okay? - Yeah.

Encounters.

No.

Nine views.

Awesome.

Hey, this is Sara.

Welcome to encounters,

the web series that nobody gives a shit about,

and I am starting to realize why nobody is watching.

It's because it sucks.

I think I might be deeply untalented.

Aw, man.

I thought I had a talent for bringing out something weird and special

and taboo and secret in people,

that there was a loneliness that I could detect,

that I really empathized with.

And I... I see glimpses of it sometimes, and it's so exciting.

And I'm close. I can feel it,

but I never follow through in the right way,

and I'm tired of trying, and I'm tired of failing.

It is humiliating.

I never expected to make money doing this,

but I thought at least I would be able to reach some other weirdos

and make something special for them.

So I'm Sara.

Welcome to encounters.

This is our finale, the closing episode of the entire season.

Join me as we encounter... My failure.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hey. Sorry about last night.

I got a little bit dramatic,

but I'm feeling a lot better now.

I've had my coffee,

and... I found this.

"Looking for videographer.

$1000 for the day.

Honesty and emotional bravery a must.

Fans of interview with the vampire a plus.

Let's go deep. Together."

Interesting.

Oh.

Ah...

Fuck it.

What?

Here we are...

In the woods.
