The Strange Ones

Sam.

Sam.

Come on.

Did you sleep?

Not really.

Where are we?

Nowhere.

Son?

Son?

You all alone up here?

Uh, oh no.

I'm with my brother.

Ah, well.

You two lookin' for something fun to do in the area, huh?

You got plenty to choose from.

- Oh no, we're just going camping.

Oh camping.

Yeah.

The black bear campsite and the flying loon campsite.

Now, black bear campsite is closed.

- Let's try and rest our eyes for a bit, okay?

- Are there gonna be actual beds there?

- Yeah, there's beds and a couch and a bathroom.

I mean, it's like a normal house, except it's small.

I think there's a TV, I'm not sure.

Well, how is there cable

if it's in the middle of the woods?

I don't know, the antenna?

Is it heated?

I can't remember.

- Then what happens in the winter when it gets cold?

- Why don't we try and rest for a moment, okay?

You want anything else?

Hm?

Are you having fun?

Yes.

- I mean, it doesn't look like you're having fun.

I kinda feel weird.

Weird how?

It's like when I try to sleep.

I can't stop thinking,

and when I think I'm asleep, turns out that I'm still awake,

and then I kind of can't tell what's like real or a dream,

or whatever.

What are you thinking of?

You know, things.

You wanna know what I think?

If you wanna stop thinking or dreaming about certain things,

just stop.

The things inside your head,

they're only as real as you want them to be.

So if you want, you can just decide they're not real.

- Decide what's not real, though?

Everything.

Everything from before this trip.

None of it exists, not unless you want it to.

Take this cup.

It doesn't exist.

Here, look at me.

This is stupid.

Trust me.

But it's right there.

What is?

Your cup.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on.

You're just a kid

going on a camping trip with your big brother.

- Anything else I can get for you two?

Um, coffee to go?

And a check, please.

No problem.

Thank you.

Hey Joe.

Didn't think I'd see you till a little later.

Go pay the lady.

Don't get in there without me.

Is it closed?

Yeah, maybe.

Excuse me.

Hey, come here.

This is Kelly.

She works here.

Hi.

What's your name?

Jeremiah.

Oh, that's my cousin's name.

- I was just telling Kelly that we, uh,

broke down up the road.

Oh yeah.

- Something got knocked out of place.

Not too sure.

- Well there's a garage not far from here.

I could call you a tow, if you want me to.

- Yeah, I can give you a ride down there

if you don't mind waiting a little bit.

- Well, we'd really appreciate it.

Wouldn't we?

Come on, put your clothes on.

- Did you already tell her what your real name is?

Yeah.

You suck.

She wants to do you.

I'm just being polite.

You should go for it.

Would you ever?

Do it.

Use her hole.

I'll be right back.

Across America, starting at...

- top story, there's new details tonight

about the tragic fire that destroyed a two-story home

in new Brighton several nights ago.

Firefighters have discovered the remains of an adult male,

the owner of the house, among the ruins.

You awake?

You okay?

Get off me, you're gross.

- She says this is their off season.

So basically no one's here for the next few months.

So?

So.

She said we can stay here for free

for however long we want.

You know, some people live in these places permanently.

And I was thinking, things aren't really workin' out

the way they were supposed to.

Or whatever.

It's okay.

I think what we do is we stay here, figure things out,

take our time.

You know?

Oh hi.

Hi.

Um, is this stuff free?

- Yeah, of course, take a much as you want.

Okay.

Here.

Um, od you guys need anything else in your room?

Uh, no thank you.

- I should show you where the laundry room is,

so you can wash your clothes while you're staying.

No thanks.

No?

Well, we're leaving.

I mean, we're not staying, so it'd be pointless.

Because your brother said you guys might stick around.

He lied.

Why would he lie?

Because he's a liar.

Oh, come on, he's a nice guy.

Not he's not.

Everything he's said since he's got here has been a lie.

Really?

For starters, there's the fact

that he doesn't even like girls.

What?

He's basically gay.

He doesn't get hard with girls.

- That's a really strange thing to say about your brother.

- And then, I guess there's the fact

that he's taking advantage of you.

I mean honestly, he thinks your an idiot.

You'll do whatever he wants.

Well really, you don't even know who he is.

Actually, I was wondering.

When you work out here, in the middle of nowhere,

how can you tell that some random guy that shows up here

is actually who he says he is?

Like him, how can you tell

that he's not like a kidnapper or a murderer or something?

And how can you tell that isn't gonna like,

rape you or kill you or rob you,

or has that never even crossed your mind?

If I were you, it definitely would.

If I were you and I met a guy like him,

I'd probably like, run.

Where were you?

What did you say to her?

She's really an idiot.

She's even dumber than you are.

Do you hate me now?

Hm?

- You can just go ahead and kill me.

I don't even care where you bury my body.

Do you wanna hit me?

Would that make you feel better?

I'm serious...

stay behind me, okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Hi there.

Hey, how's it going?

Fine, yourself?

Can't complain.

Beautiful day.

Yeah.

- It's not the season for that yet, eh.

Squirrels, maybe.

- Ah, we're just doing some target practice.
