Regicide

(suspenseful music)

(Jamie panting)

No, no.

Seth, stop, please, please, please.

If it's you, if it's you, you'll stop!

No, stop! (Screams)

(dramatic music)

(crows cawing)

Hey, you all right?

Just hunters.

Yeah, yeah. It's just...

What's, what's in that one?

It's metal stuff from the barn.

Metal stuff? (Objects clattering)

Yeah.

Do you mean tools?

- I think so, probably.? - Yeah.

It's hard to be sure.

Green sticker.

You know which one the green one is, right?

- Yeah. - Hey, Caleb,

can you stop being a prick to my friends for five minutes?

No, it's okay. It's all right.

No, it's not.

Oh, honestly, we're used to him.

Besides, we're here for you okay?

I know, and I appreciate that. Thanks.

- All right. - What color?

This is full of books. So red?

Yeah, I have a feeling the color coding wasn't your idea.

What gave that away?

Do you think we can switch? I don't want to...

Oh, no. Yeah, that's fine.

That's good, thanks. I appreciate it.

Okay is there much more left?

Uh this, few things in the house,

maybe like six boxes in the barn or so?

Want me to hit the barn with you?

No, no, that's okay. Thank you, though.

Seems kind of prickly today, huh?

Hm, well, you know what

at least it keeps him outta trouble, right?

Are you snooping?

No. Just browsing.

Anything good? (Insects chirping)

Where the fuck are all my coyote traps?

I don't know.

I told everybody not to touch them.

That is a safety hazard, you could lose a hand.

Daniel probably put them in the trailer already.

Fucking Daniel, he told me he had tools.

He's doing his best, okay?

And he's free, and he's my friend.

Get what you pay for. (Objects clattering)

How did he end up with a woman like Ruth anyway?

That kid's brain is orbiting Jupiter.

He's very sweet Caleb.

Not that you'd know anything about that.

Really? Right fucking now?

What?

I just, I just don't have time

for this snarky attitude okay?

If we don't get the rental back in time,

we will have to pay for another day.

How much could that actually cost?

Do you have an extra pile of cash just hidden in the barn

because you didn't tell me about it.

Okay would it kill you to be positive?

Just for like the rest of the day? They're doing us a favor.

Doing us a favor? Yeah.

Great.

Wonderful.

Green sticker. (Box thuds)

(insects chirping)

(gravel crunching)

Do you wanna talk about it?

No.

(somber music)

(floor creaking)

How goes the battle?

I thought everyone could use some coffee.

Ah, yes. I'd kill for one.

I can't seem to get the kettle to work.

Um... Let me try.

Ugh guess it bit the dust.

One less thing to move, I guess.

I'm just glad it wasn't me.

No, don't worry about it.

We've got some instant. So.

Sandra, do you wanna talk about it.

No, I don't wanna fucking talk about it.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry. It's fine.

It's just stress from the move, I guess.

Fuse?

Do you want me to get it?

No, no, it's fine.

(draw thudding)

(button clicking)

Try it now.

No change.

Okay, I'm coming back up.

(somber music continues)

All right. That's it, guys.

Let's get going.

Great job everyone.

Daniel, you pull your car to the side

and then you can follow us.

I just wanna take one last quick sweep.

We have everything.

It'll take me five minutes, Caleb.

Sandra, get in the car. (Insects chirping)

(keys jingling)

What's wrong?

Can't seem to get the car to start.

Do you want me to try?

No, I, I can do it.

(insects chirping)

- Last load. Are you excited? - Thrilled.

Yeah, I wouldn't want him behind the wheel either,

honestly I'm just surprised he is legally allowed to drive.

Jesus Christ how difficult of a task is this? Today?

Gimme two minutes and I'll see what's up.

Hey guys, what's up?

I think the battery's dead.

I think I may have left the light on.

Oh, okay.

Give me a sec.

Caleb, do we have jumper cables?

What?

Jumper cables. Their battery's dead.

- You're joking right now. - I'm afraid not.

I don't have the fucking time for this.

We'll just give them a boost.

Do you know where the cables are?

- In the trailer? - In the trailer.

I am not spending my life

unpacking dozens of mislabeled boxes

because you can't take care of your vehicle.

Put it in neutral and hop out.

You too, hop out.

What? What's happening?

We are moving this piece of garbage out of the way

so that we can take care of the rental.

Okay first of all, rude. Second, I don't get it.

Yeah how does this help us start their car?

That's not my problem right now, okay?

The rental car with a trailer

full of our shit is my problem.

No give me two minutes. We can get the jumper cables.

I don't know how to be more clear Sandra.

We have to go now.

What and we're gonna leave them here?

You guys are what? Three miles down the road, right?

You're fine, you did... (hands clap)

Thank you for everything that you've done so far.

We really appreciate it. We have it from here.

No Caleb, you're being ridiculous.

Sandra!

Just don't.

Okay, Daniel, come on.

Ruth, can you just crank the steering wheel

to the left, please?

Okay bend your knees.

Ready? Okay.

Three, two, one.

Push.

(footsteps shuffling)

- We did it. - Thanks, man. All right.

Caleb, get the chalk. (Insects chirping)

(tense music)

Fuck!

Daniel were you screwing around with this?

No one has touched your car but you, Caleb.

What about Ruth? She has been near it all day.

I didn't sabotage your fucking car, Caleb, okay?

I'm just trying to get you outta here.

- Get me outta here? - The both of you.

I am sure that's what you meant.

Why don't we call AAA?

Holy shit. The space cadet had a coherent thought.

You don't have to be such an asshole, okay?

We're all trying to get out of here.

Yelling at my friends isn't going to help.

- Call them. - Ruth, do you mind?

Thanks. Oh, your battery's dead, Ruth.

I don't own a phone.

Of course you don't. (Laughs)

Who's got a charger?

Wouldn't make a difference anyways. Power's been cut.

Of course it has.

What a perfect time for everybody's incompetence

to shine like the fucking stars.

Caleb.
