- No, no, honey.
That's your rook.
You can't move that way.
- Why not?
- Because whoever invented this game said so.
- That's not fair.
- [George] Sorry.
Those are the rules.
- Can I change the rules?
- You may not.
Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.
- [Mia] Can I do this?
- Yup, totally legal.
But then I'm gonna do this.
- [Mom] Who wants some cookies?
- Now this is what I'm talking about.
- Honey, try your bishop.
See the opening?
Yeah.
You have to anticipate your opponent's move.
Always think two or three steps ahead.
That's how you win.
(dark foreboding music)
(wind chimes chiming)
- It's awfully windy all of a sudden.
(dark foreboding music)
- [George] Get Mia into the attic
and close the door behind you.
- [Mom] George.
- Go, do it now.
- Mom, what's wrong?
- Come on.
Don't turn around.
Come on.
(dark foreboding music)
- If you're lookin' for the girl, she's not here anymore.
I've already called the cops,
so you might wanna get a move on.
(dark foreboding music)
I don't know.
I'd say 6'3, 6'4.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen him lurking around here
with a few of his friends.
- Can we go out now?
- Not yet, honey.
- No, unfortunately I did not get a good look at his face.
Doors are all locked, family's up in the attic
and we'll just stay put until you guys arrive.
- Oh, it's just daddy.
- Shh.
Cops are sending somebody over to check things out.
So we're just gonna camp out up here for a minute, okay?
- I'm scared.
- Oh sweetheart.
Don't worry.
Everything's gonna be all right.
It's all right.
(loud banging)
(dark foreboding music)
(George sighing)
(door creaking)
It's probably the police entering the house.
They know we're up here.
(dark intriguing music)
- [Mom] George, don't move.
(siren wailing)
- Car 747, 10-97.
10-4, I'm at the front of the residence.
Copy.
Dispatch, I have an open front door.
(dark foreboding music) (crickets chirping)
- [Dispatch] 747, what's your status?
- [Officer] 747.
I'll be on the second floor.
Now entering the attic space.
(breathes heavily) We got two adult bodies,
both deceased.
- [Dispatch] There should be a little girl.
Is she there?
- Negative.
We may have a missing girl on our hands.
(officer breathing heavily) (crickets chirping)
10-81, 520 Crescent Moon.
Immediate backup.
(dark intriguing music)
(dark foreboding music)
- [Mia] In the darkness,
a missing girl
grew up.
There's a legend haunting these streets
about a secret society of Shadowlurkers
and their rivals the Lamp Bearers.
Echoes of their secret war ripple throughout the city
like a ghostly serenade.
(soft mysterious music)
Both factions wield great magic;
one holding the power of death.
The other?
Life.
(dark foreboding music)
And just what awaits us in the darkness
and is there any light left at all?
(soft intriguing music)
(people chattering)
(paper crinkling)
- [Carl] Hey, I need a favor.
- Carl.
Hi, I'm actually-
- We're firing (hums) today and I need you to do it.
- Firing Janet? - Shh, shh.
Yes, we're firing Janet, okay?
We don't wanna tell the whole office.
- Why?
Look at her.
She literally does that all day long.
Almost impressive how inefficient she is.
- Yeah, but why me?
Why do I have to be the one to break it to her?
- Because I'm her manager, okay?
It'd be awkward if I did it.
Everybody knows she looks up to me
- Yeah, doesn't that mean it'd be easier coming from you?
- No, it wouldn't make it easier coming from me.
It'd be easier coming from you
because then you fire her then she won't know I fired her.
- Yeah, okay.
Carl, I'm not really over Janet.
- Well look, you think of it this way.
It's a proxy firing, okay?
You're not really firing, firing her.
It's a proxy firing.
It's sorta like somebody else is firing her
and then you get to be the one that tells her she's fired,
but you're not gettin' blamed for it.
It's a great plan.
Look, you got this, all right?
- I don't think I do.
But at the end of the day, she's still fired.
- You got it.
It's nothin' to it, all right?
Just make sure you've done it by the end of the day, okay?
Good man.
(people chattering)
- Marcus,
with all due respect,
I don't think you're even allowed to fire me.
- Yes, I realize that.
I'm actually Carl's proxy in this situation.
It was his idea.
- I mean why not fire Pedro?
He barely speaks frickin' English.
- Well Pedro's actually from Anaheim.
- I mean dude just spends all day
hangin' out in the break room smokin' weed.
- It's actually just vaping and they allow that.
Carl asked for your key card before you go.
- This is just so freaking unfair.
I mean why are they even firing me anyways?
Can I get a reason?
- I believe it has something to do
with the gratuitous use of your cellphone at work.
I know, I think it's unfair too.
I don't agree with it.
Would you like to get something to eat after work?
We can talk about it.
- You know what, Marcus?
You can eat shit.
I'm outta here.
- So that's a no.
(rhythmic rock music) (Marcus knocking)
♪ I'm takin' control ♪
- Hi.
- Hi, you okay?
- [Mom] Yeah.
- You okay?
- He's in his room.
(Marcus knocking)
- You're super late.
- Yeah, sorry.
I got stuck at work havin' to fire someone
who doesn't even work for me.
Tell your mom she can dock my pay.
- I thought we didn't pay you.
- Oh, you don't.
As it turns out volunteering for Big Brother
wasn't the best career choice after all.
- Har har har.
- Is that a new comic?
- It's an underground.
They say it's based on a true story.
- Really?
"Shadowlurker".
- Yeah, it's about this secret group
called the Fellowship of the Fallen.
You ever heard of it?
- Nope.
If I had, it wouldn't be much of a secret, would it?
- It's about these creepy assassins
who don't take crap from anybody.
One guy, he lights people on fire
then hangs 'em from light poles.
- That's disturbing.
So in what way is this a true story again?
- Few towns over, they found these bodies.
Guess how they died.
- I'm guessing light poles were involved.
- You look scared.
- [Marcus] I'm not scared, you're scared.
- (chuckles softly) Anyway, here's the update.
- Oh, very nice.
You've been working hard since last week.
- It's not even good.
I'm just messin' around.
- No, perspective's amazing.
And the shadowing? Yeah.
Here, lemme show you somethin'.
See, with the wings,
you just gotta layer 'em a little bit.
Then you can just mess around, right?
- That's not completely terrible, I guess.
- No, but you were doin' a better job.
Here.
So did you bring my money to lose to me in poker?
- Oh, come on.
Have you rented out your spare room yet?
- No, not yet.
I'm still workin' on the flyer.
I haven't found the perfect font just yet.
- Why'd you buy such a big house in the first place?
Seems like a waste of space, dude.
- Well because
I wanted a big family someday
and families need big houses.
- Why's that?
- To do family stuff.
- Sounds a bit premature if you ask me.
- Well I didn't
- I'm just sayin' you might wanna find a girl first.
- Ouch, Troy.
Way to rip off the bandaid, dude.
So no offense.
But don't you ever get tired of coming over here
when you could be doing somethin' cool instead?
I mean it's almost like you have no life at all.
- Troy, I've got so much going on right now.
It'd blow your mind.
- Mm-hmm.
What do you do again?
- I'm the associate art director at Taylor Pharmaceuticals.
- [Troy] What's that mean?
- I create ads for boner pills.
- Oh.
Right.
I see why they chose you.
Havin' a little trouble down there?
- That's low.
- Sorry.
Below the belt?
- You know, you're not the only junior artist
in need of a mentor.
- I'm just messin' around.
No need to get all sassy.
Hey, did you ever ask that girl out?
- What girl?
- The one from work you told me about.
What's her name again?
- Oh.
Janet.

- What's up?
- Yo, Pedro.
Nothin' just lowering my IQ.
- I see that.
I see that.
Grab a smoke?
C'mon.
- When do you get work done?
- You know, I would answer that ad.
- Yeah, why don't you just come live with me?
I keep asking you.
- It's 'cause my roommates get me.
- You live with your parents, Pedro.
- Exactly.
Free rent, free groceries.
They cook for me time-to-time.
It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful thing.
- Yeah, I can't argue with that.
- Whoever that is, I would say the answer is yes.
(dark foreboding music) (birds chirping)
- She's lookin' at the flyer.
- Hey, what's she doin'?
(cellphone buzzing)
- She's callin' me, dude.
- Answer it, dude.
- Hi, hello?
- [Mia] Yeah, I'm calling about the rental,
the one from the flyer.
- Yes.
This is the right number.
- [Mia] Is this near the bus station?
- Yeah.
Maybe a few blocks.
I don't know.
I don't take the bus.
I'm not bragging about that.
I just... I have a car. So.
- When can I come see it?
- [Marcus] I'm actually not at home right now.
(birds chirping)
- [Mia] Is that you waving at me?
- Yeah.
- That was like phone inception.
- It was weird, right?
Hi, my name's Marcus.
This is my colleague Sam.
We call him Pedro.
(Mia speaking in foreign language)
- So what, you guys just stand here all day
waiting for somebody to answer your ad?
- No, no, no, just you.
I didn't mean it like that.
We work in this building.
- So I'm just looking for a place to crash.
It's not longterm or anything.
Hope that's okay.
- I figured you were asking for someone else.
I mean that's totally cool.
So you wanna rent my room?
- I don't know.
I haven't seen it yet.
- Right.
Of course.
Well I can show you sometime this weekend.
- I was hoping sooner.
- [Marcus] How much sooner?
- Tonight.
- Wow, that's so immediate.
Tonight.
I don't know, I'll have to check my schedule.
- So do you want me to wait?
- What?
- While you check your schedule, do you want me to wait?
- Actually
tonight's fine.
Yeah.
Should I just text you the address?
- Six good?
- Yup, sure.
We'll see you then.
(dark foreboding music)
Is it just me
or is there something very off about that girl?
- Maybe.
She's pretty hot though.
- Yeah, like a murdery kinda way.
Should I actually go through with this?
- Dude, she's like 100 pounds.
What's she gonna do, tie you up and steal your Xbox?
(dark foreboding music)
- That's not weed, is it?

- Nice flowers.
Did you kill 'em yourself?
- Yeah, sorry about that.
You can feel free to you know,
put your own touches on the space.
- Are those blackout curtains?
- Yeah, I think so.
Is that a problem?
- How much is the rent?
- 650.
That includes- - I'll take it.
Does that thing work?
- This?
No.
- Tryin' to spy on me?
- Of course not.
It's not even plugged in.
I can take it out if you want.
I'm sorry there's not a TV or anything.
625?
Lotta the stuff in this house
is from my parents' place actually.
Like they just gave it to me when I bought the place.
And you know, I've been tryin' to put my own thing on it.
That's from online, you know?
I cleared out the bottom two shelves in the fridge for you.
If you want these are, you know?
Have at it.
Remind me to get you the wifi password.
There's a private bathroom
you can have all to yourself down the hallway here.
Gotta say it's a little weird havin' a roommate again.
- What?
- I said it's a little...
How long do you think you might wanna stay?
- Not sure yet.
- 'Kay.
You know, we'll play it by ear.
You know, I don't think I ever got your name.
- It's Mia.
- Mia.
(Mia tapping)
(rhythmic rock music)
(knocks) Hey Mia?
Mia?
There's some food left over if you want some.
Okay, I'll just leave it out if you ever want some.
It's
Marcus.
(doorknob clacking)
(dark foreboding music)
- I listen to music sometimes when I sleep.
So if it never gets too loud, let me know.
- Okay.
Goodnight.
- Jerry, what's goin' on, brother?
Huh, what's poppin'?
Hopefully not them pills.
There he is.
- Hi Pedro.
- So spill the beans.
How's the new roommate?
- I don't know, man.
She's got this weird aura of sadness about her.
It's haunting.
- Well most girls her age are a hurricane of emotions.
I'd just give it time.
- I told her a joke the other day.
She just stared at me for like a full minute
and she was tryin' to decide whether or not
to stab me in the face.
- Just like deadpan?
That's creepy.
Maybe your joke wasn't funny.
- Oh, it was funny.
It was the one about the neutron who orders a beer.
- (chuckles) Yeah, "No charge for you."
Yeah, that one's funny.
That one's good.
Maybe and this is out there.
Maybe she's a robot.
Today's technology, very possible.
Artificial intelligence.
She's probably spyin' on you.
Just sayin'.
- I don't know.
There's something in her eyes.
Something
violent.
I don't think the girl's ever smiled a day in her life.
- That's it.
Personal challenge.
Make her smile.
It's beautiful.
- Is that really the job of a landlord?
I mean I'm pretty sure my only job
is to make sure she has a nice, safe space to live
while pretending she's not insanely attractive.
- Yeah, she's sizzlin'.
And you live with her, I couldn't do that.
That's tough.
- Yeah, but her shitty attitude makes it easier.
God, I've had crazy roommates before.
But this girl's like next level.
- Stage five?
Well bright side is
she hasn't tried to stab you in the face.
- Yet.
Yeah, of course I'm coming.
I haven't seen you and dad since what, like June?
Did my roommate leave my door open?
(dark foreboding music)
Lemme call you right back.
Mia?
Mia.
Hello?
(Marcus knocking)
- [Announcer] Enter Peaches all-American sweepstakes
with a grocery purchase of $50 or more.
(soft foreboding music)
Call now for automatic entry.
Only first 50 callers eligible.
- Hey Mia, did you?
Oh my god, are you okay?
Is that blood?
Mia.
Do I need to call 9-1-1 or something?
- [Announcer] No relatives of Peaches.
- [Troy] Wait, you really think this girl's a drug pusher?
I am 99% sure she's selling crack cocaine, yes.
- What makes you so sure?
- Well for starters,
she goes out every single night with this backpack.
Like not a purse, an actual backpack.
And then every time she comes home,
she's completely strung out.
The other day, she fell down upon coming in the door
and I'm pretty sure she had blood on her.
Like actual blood, real blood.
Oh and get this: her part of the fridge is completely empty.
She's has never had anything in it
and I've never seen her eat anything.
Isn't that suspicious?
- Maybe she eats out.
- Maybe.
- If she's dangerous, just give her the boot.
It's your house.
- Troy, you can't just kick somebody out without proof.
That's why I need to get video of her sellin' the hooch.
- Hooch is moonshine.
- Smack? - Watch your flank.
Watch your flank.
(explosion bursting) (soldier screaming)
- Oh, that was close.
- You're just being paranoid.
I seriously doubt a girl like that would be pushing smack.
- Maybe, I guess.
- You know, she's probably a prostitute.
- You know, I never thought of that.
Huh, how would I find out?
- Perfume.
They always load it on.
- Troy, it concerns me
how much you know about this subject.
I think I'm failing as a big brother.
- No, I just watch a lotta TV.
(gun blasting) (explosions bursting)
(television chattering)
- [Actor] We're just searching for different things.
- Hey, you want a fry?
- No, thanks.
- Hey,
is that Chanel you're wearing?
- What?
- Perfume.
You just smell kinda nice.
(door banging)
- [Actor] And I see it in my children's eyes
every day when I wake up.
(dark intriguing music)
(crickets chirping)
(Mia knocking)
(dark intriguing music)
- (gasps) Oh gee.
What the hell?
See, I don't.
What are you doing, Mia?
(dark intriguing music)
(crickets chirping)
- Hey, lookie what we got here.
Goin' the wrong direction.
My place is this way.
- Doin' all right? - Hey princess,
where you goin'?
- Wanna get a little tied up tonight?
- Hey, we're talkin' to you.
(dark foreboding music) (crickets chirping)
- Guys, let's get outta here.
C'mon, let's roll out.
- Should smile more.
- [Leader] Let's go.
(dark foreboding music) (crickets chirping)
(coffee trickling)
(cereal crunching)
- Um, hello.
- Hey.
(Mia slurping)
Rough night?
- No, nope.
Just
you know,
the usual.
(water trickling)
- So
last night,
did you follow me?
- What?
- Last night, you followed me.
I'm not mad.
I just wanna know why.
- No, no.
I don't know where you got that idea.
I was here all night.
Okay, honestly.
Yeah, I followed you.
I mean really, I was just worried about you.
I mean haven't you been watching the news?
It's not safe for pretty girls to walk around.
I didn't mean that.
It's not that you're not.
It's not safe to walk around at night.
I mean if something happened to you, I'd be out 650 a month.
- I see.
- Mia, wait.
I followed you
'cause I wanted to see if you were selling drugs.
I'm sorry.
I needed to know.
- So what did you see?
- I saw a very nice-looking person come to the door
and then I saw you both go inside.
And it definitely didn't look like they were buying crack.
I left.
- Is that all?
You didn't see anything else?
- Mm-mmm.
- I wasn't selling crack to that woman.
- Okay.
Good to know.
You ever killed anybody?
- You mean this week?
- All right.
Sorry for all the paranoia.
- So we're good here?
You don't want me to leave?
- No, don't be crazy.
Not you, I didn't mean.
You're not crazy
just the thing that you just said.
- Are you sure nobody followed you last night?
(dark foreboding music)
- Yeah.
Pretty sure.
Why, are you on the run or something?
- Aren't we all?
I'm hittin' the sack
- At nine in the morning?
'Course you are.
- Is that all you got?
Is that all you got?
- Yeah, maybe.
No, no. That's not all I got.
- This is not safe.
- I'll show you.
(soft cheerful music) (wheelchair rattling)
(Troy chuckling)
So why you gotta doubt me like that, huh?
- Hey, can I ask you a guy question?
- Yeah, I suppose I qualify.
- Nah, forget it.
- No, what's goin' on?
- 'Kay, but it's embarrassing.
- What's up?
- So there's this one girl at school
who talks to me sometimes
and I'm sorta into her, you know?
But
I don't know if she's just being nice or whatever.
She probably is.
You know how girls are.
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
I just want her to see me as a regular guy, you know?
Which isn't easy.
- Well here's something that always works
and it's super simple.
You're gonna get a lotta mileage outta this though.
Just gotta make her laugh.
- So just be funny?
I'm already hysterical.
- (chuckles) That and never be rude
and don't make her think that you like her too much.
She'll hate that.
Just always gotta keep an element of mystery.
- Mystery.
I can do mystery.
Hey, I was thinkin' about your weird roommate
the other night.
- Speaking of mystery.
Yeah, go ahead.
- You know, honestly,
I'm surprised it took me this long to figure it out.
I mean this one's super obvious.
- Okay, can't wait to hear this one.
- It's my professional opinion
that she's a Shadowlurker.
(crow cawing)
- She's a Shadowlurker.
So she's the one that's been going around torching people.
Oh crap, dude.
I left some matches on the table this morning.
How many people do you think she's killed?
- Well they don't usually burn people.
I mean most of them like to you know, sneak up on you
and use a knife or somethin'.
- Fantastic.
- You know, should really look into this
before it's too late.
- Okay, Troy.
I totally will.
I'm gonna look into it.
(soft intriguing music)
"According to legend, the Fellowship of the Fallen
began in the ancient city of Salem
where Lord Tenebris and his assassins
overthrew an oppressive king and executed him
along with most of his subjects.
They later fled Salem for unknown reasons
and became known as Shadowlurkers
due to their nature of intense secrecy."
(door banging)
Intense secrecy? Check.
(soft intriguing music)
All right.
'Kay, this is where it gets really crazy, 'kay?
So they refer to this dude as the magic king, right?
So before the fellowship took over,
apparently he put all of his remaining power
into these lanterns and sent them out in secret
and then they became known as Salem's light.
- What if one of those lights is still out there?
- Mm-hmm.
But somebody keeps deleting all these websites.
Like every time I get a good hit, it's gone in 24 hours.
- Wait, so why would an evil king share his power,
and pardon my French, share with a bunch of a-holes anyways?
- That's the thing.
It's like the bad guys are tellin' the whole story.
It's a legitimate conspiracy
- Or it's just a bunch of kids trolling on the internet.
What's up?
You see that?
She's warmin' up to me.
- Clearly.
- All right, let's bring it back.
Let's bring it back.
So do you actually believe this stuff?
- No, of course not.
But Troy's got all this stuff in my head
and then with all this copycat killing and...
I don't know, it's weird.
- You said that Mia carries a backpack
everywhere she goes, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- So what if maybe,
maybe you happen to accidentally just
(whistles) take a little peek?
- [Marcus] No.
- Just a little sneaky peak.
- No, I'm not gonna do that.
That's an invasion of privacy.
- Is it?
- Yeah.
- Here me out.
Backpack out in the open.
- No.
- Zipper's open as well.
Oops, I bumped into it.
Scatters all over the floor.
- Not gonna do it. - Lemme help you pick that up.
- No. - Ooh.
Now I'm seein' everything she's got.
- I can't.
We have a relationship based on trust.
- Do you?
- No, not at all actually.
I don't trust her as far as I can throw her, but we should.
She's my tenant.
- [Pedro] Well then lemme do it.
- No.
- Damn.
(Marcus breathing heavily)
(shower trickling)
(soft intriguing music)
(dark foreboding music)
(bag thudding) (door slamming)
- Oh shit.
- Dropped somethin'.
Think you dropped your wallet there.
Might wanna hang on to that.
- Wow, thank you.
Shallow pockets, I guess.
- Mm-hmm.
What kinda mileage you get in that thing?
- Mileage?
I don't know.
Fine, I guess.
- Well make sure you keep those doors locked.
There's a lotta assholes runnin' around causin' trouble.
(soft foreboding music)
- I do.
- Hell, you been watchin' the news?
They found another body few blocks over
all burnt up and shit.
Whatever happened to the basics?
(soft foreboding music) (knife clacking)
Cut and go.
Nobody even knew you were there.
Guess these things are too old fashioned now.
(soft foreboding music) (birds chirping)
- Do I know you?
Sorry, you just look oddly familiar.
- Well let's see.
You know Reggie, right?
Lives up on Highland Avenue.
- No, I'm afraid I don't know Reggie.
- Huh.
Well let's see.
- Thank you for the wallet.
Appreciate it.
- How about ole Mia?
(dark foreboding music) (birds chirping)
D'you know her?
You know, it takes a lotta trust
to let a stranger into your house.
Not that I blame you.
I mean
she's real easy to look at.
Keep those doors locked.
(dark foreboding music)
(alarm beeping)
(workers chattering)
- Hey Marcus, you okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why?
- Well you look a little tired, that's all.
- Just didn't get that much sleep last night.
It was kind of a long night.
- Oh, well I hope whatever her name is,
you give her a little rest every now and then, huh?
(vocalizes) Huh?
(workers chattering)
- Yeah, that wasn't massively inappropriate.
(intriguing rock music)
- (knocks) Mia.
Mia, can you open the door please?
(knocks) I'm coming in.
Mia.
We need to talk.
- Okay.
- I think it's best that you leave.
- Oh, do you need some privacy or something?
- No.
I mean I think
it'd be better if you found another place to stay.
I'm sorry.
It's nothing personal.
It's not working out.
- Is it the music?
I had headphones, but they-
- No, listen.
I don't care about whatever weird scene you're into,
but it's actually starting to affect my life now.
- I don't really know what you're tryin' to say.
And why are you yelling at me?
- Because ever since you showed up,
my life has gotten increasingly bizarre
And now your crazy I don't know ex or something
just showed up and threatened me.
- My what?
- Sorry, I'm done, okay?
This is too much.
- I really don't understand what you're tryin' to tell me.
- Look, just tell me the truth.
Are you selling drugs?
If you're not selling drugs,
then why are you going into all these neighborhoods
every night?
- That's my personal business.
- No, not anymore.
I don't feel safe with you in my home.
(rhythmic rock music)
Why all the secrecy?
- Hard to explain.
- Then I'm sorry, but you have to leave.
- Marcus, please.
- Don't you have friends, anyone,
other than some guy you barely know?
- Well, my friends all wanna kill me.
- Yeah, well I can see why.
Sorry, I didn't mean that.
You really not have anybody?
(rhythmic rock music)
I'm sorry I yelled at you,
but I need some answers, Mia.
Are you in trouble?
I'll take you to a crisis center or something
if you're in trouble.
Don't worry about the rent.
- You really wanna know where I go at night?
Tomorrow night you can come with me and then you'll see.
- That or you can just tell me
- No, it's better if you see.
- Okay.
All right.
Well
goodnight.
(workers chattering)
Think I'm gonna throw up.
- Deep breaths.
C'mon, lemme hear one.
Inhale.
Inhale, exhale.
(Marcus exhaling)
Here's the situation at hand:
you've been wanting to find out where she's been going
and now she's giving you that opportunity.
- Yeah, but I don't wanna die either.
I mean maybe she's planning an ambush or something.
- Yeah, I could totally see that happening.
- Thank you for your words of encouragement.
- Anytime.
I could always come along and hold your hand.
- I'm gonna end up tied to a light pole
and you're gonna feel bad about making that comment.
- Not if you manifested it first.
So how about you just relax, calm down?
Because you're bringin' a lotta negativity into the zone
and I'm not feelin' it.
I can't do that today.
- You came into my zone.
I was here first.
And this isn't negativity, I'm scared, okay?
And I don't know why I'm scared.
I don't know why I'm more scared now
than when I thought she was a drug dealer.
- The fear of the unknown is a scary place to live.
Also it sounds like you have feelings for her.
- What?
No.
- And if you didn't like her, you wouldn't care.
- Shut up.
She's my roommate.
- That was very convincing.
Should probably go to the bathroom, calm down,
splash water on your face.
- No.
(soft serene music)
- Poor guy.
- [Reporter] The embellishment charges would be dropped.
In other news, police are on the lookout for three suspects
in a recent murder of a homeless man
who had been tied to a light pole on Division Street
and set on fire.
If you live in or near the area of Estes Hill,
authorities are urging you to take extreme caution
when traveling after nightfall.
(soft intriguing music)
- [Mia] You ready?
- Yup.
- You know, you really don't have to do this.
- No, I'm good.
Cool.
Let's go.
(soft intriguing music)
So you're sure that this is the right one?
- Yeah, why?
- Do you mind kinda tellin' me what we're getting into here?
Who are these people?
Do you know them?
Are they friends of yours?
- Neither of those things.
- Mia.
- You really don't have to do this.
- I kinda do.
I'm here now.
I might as well come with you.
I know, I know.
You're in AA, aren't you?
And this is a step when you go around
apologizing to everyone that you treated poorly
when you were drunk, is that right?
- Nope.
- Okay, do you have any idea how long this'll take?
- I don't know.
But Marcus, can you please not say anything?
You're just here to observe.
- Yeah, okay.
Observe, got it.
- Oh and if anything crazy happens, just run to the car.
I'll find my way back home.
- Wait, what?
(crickets chirping) (Mia knocking)
Doesn't look like anybody's home.
(crickets chirping) (door squeaking)
- Can I help you guys?
- Yes.
My name is Mia and this is Marcus,
my
landlord.
This is gonna sound strange, but I'm here to see Autumn.
- Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.
It's late.
- I knew her father.
Please, it'll just take a minute.
- All right.
Hun?
Hun, could you come down here please?
Hun?
She'll down in just a minute.
Hun!
- Coming.
(dark foreboding music)
What is this?
Why'd you let her in?
- She said she knew your brother.
- I'm sorry it's so late,
but I would like to see her if that's okay.
- Why are you here?
Why are you in our home?
I know who you are.
(dark foreboding music)
- I'm not here to hurt anyone.
I promise.
- We don't want any trouble from you people
and the neighbors will hear me if I shout.
- No, no. I'm alone.
They're not with me and that's not why I'm here.
- Why are you here?
- I'm here for Autumn.
(dark foreboding music)
- You're not takin' that girl.
- I didn't come to take her.
I came to help.
- You're lying.
- If I were lying, would I be wearing this?
How bad is it?
(soft somber music)
Hey.
Not feeling too good?
- She has a heart condition.
Be careful.
- My name is Mia.
What's your name?
- Autumn.
- Autumn, that's such a pretty name.
Autumn, can I tell you a bedtime story?
Yeah.
There was once a little girl who had no family to love her.
All she ever wanted was to find a place where she belonged.
Then after a few years, this really nice couple
told her that she could stay with them.
They taught her how to play chess and how to ride a bike.
She was so happy.
But that didn't last for very long.
You see, these really
bad people came and told her that they were her new family
and that they were going to protect her
and love her forever.
They got her all kinds of gifts and dazzled her with magic.
Pretty soon, she forgot all about the nice couple.
You see, her family was so amazing
that they fooled her into using the magic
that they had taught her.
When she got old enough, she realized how bad they were.
She ran away.
But guess what?
She found a beautiful, safe castle with a really nice owner.
She even brought her magic with her.
(soft serene music)
Autumn, can you trust me for a minute?
(Autumn breathing heavily)
- Autumn?
- I feel so much better.
(soft serene music)
(crickets chirping)
- So
this is what you've been doing every night, huh?
- Disappointed?
- No.
Although now I kinda wish you were a drug dealer
and then I could ask for some Xanax.
(crickets chirping)
You really don't look that great.
Are you okay?
- [Mia] I'm fine.
- How do you know that family in there?
- Autumn's dad was killed
and I heard she was staying with her aunt.
- How did you know her dad got killed?
- Because I was there when they did it.
Look, Marcus.
We did a lotta bad things,
but I'm here to make amends.
Those people in my story,
they care a lot about secrecy.
Once someone starts snoopin' around,
it's better you don't know much more than that.
- I don't get it.
You were just a kid.
- They like to coerce street kids.
Maybe 'cause we don't have much attachment,
but we're also pretty used to violence.
That was a bonus.
- Mia, that girl in there, you healed her.
She's better now.
- Yup.
- Mia, that's insane.
- Yeah.
- How are you so casual about this?
- Trust me, you get used to it.
Is it all the same?
Do you always know what's gonna happen when you do that?
- Sometimes they see visions.
This one time, this guy's bullet wound healed up on its own.
- Jesus. (exhales)
All right.
Where are we goin' next?
- Oh no, I can't do that again.
It would kill me.
- Wait, kill you?
What do you mean it would kill you?
- My powers don't work that way.
I'm not using them how they were supposed to be used.
Takes about a day or so to recharge
'cause my body really takes a hit.
- So if I wanted to kill ya, now's my chance.
- You wish.
(crickets chirping)
- You okay?
(dark foreboding music)
"Ancient records are inconclusive
as to the identity of the so-called magic king.
Although some contemporary historians
had concluded the king was a murderous tyrant,
other records contradict this account. (sighs)
In Shadowlurker mythology,
the Fellowship of the Fallen are regarded as great heroes
during Salem's conquest.
They might've easily been the villains."
(screen bleeping)
(dark foreboding music)
That's not good.
Hey, can I show you something?
It's from the night I followed you.
I think that's the same guy who showed up at my work.
- How in the world did he find me here?
- How are you not more alarmed by this?
- Oh, that's just Kelly.
He's like my big brother.
When we were in foster together,
he used to protect me from the older kids.
Kelly wouldn't hurt me in a million years.
- Are you sure about that?
Because this guy probably knows where I live.
If Kelly had bad intentions,
neither of us would be sitting here right now.
- Yeah, it's just he didn't strike me as all that friendly.
- I didn't say he was friendly
and I said he wouldn't hurt me.
We haven't seen each other in a while.
He's probably tryin' to see if I'm okay,
even if that means harassing my friend at work.
- Friend?
- You know, I never did thank you for letting me stay here.
I had been crashing at this warehouse
a few blocks away from your office.
- You were living in a warehouse?
I think we should get some rest.
(dark intriguing music)
- I haven't seen you around much lately.
Was startin' to worry.
- I'm here as always.
(dark intriguing music) (birds chirping)
- If I had to guess, I'd say not for long.
They gave us a gift.
- A gift?
- Look, you know our policy.
You can walk away anytime you want.
But you'll also be walkin' away
from all the protection you've been enjoying for so long.
And I promise you, the world is a scary place
when don't have juice runnin' through your hands
and 100 men covering your back.
- I'm not afraid.
(dark intriguing music)
- I know.
I know you're not.
That's the problem.
(smooth rhythmic music)
(soft intriguing music) (workers chattering)
(Marcus sighing)
(cellphone buzzing) (guns blasting)
- Hey dude, what's up?
I'm just gettin' ready for school.
- Nothing too important.
I just had a question
about that comic book you were tellin' me about.
- [Troy] Shoot.
- So these Shadowlurkers,
do they all have magical powers or what?
- Well kinda.
I mean the more powerful ones have relics or whatnot,
so a robe or a ring or like a bracelet.
- Dude, you sound scared.
Did I get to ya?
- One more question.
How would you kill one,
like if they were after you?
- I don't know, man.
I mean I only have the one issue.
But if I had to guess, I'd say you can't.
- Okay, but in theory.
- Well you pretty much can't unless-
- [Marcus] Unless what?
- I don't know.
Maybe if there was another Shadowlurker,
I bet they could kill each other.
But it's only a guess.
Why all of a sudden interest?
- I gotta go.
(dark intriguing music)
- Hey Marcus, can I borrow you for a second?
- Yeah.
Could use a break.
Wait, say that again?
- You're fired, Marcus.
I know.
I know it totally sucks, man.
And I'm really sorry.
- You're serious.
This isn't a joke?
- [Pedro] I'm afraid not.
- You're not even allowed to fire me.
We're colleagues.
- I know.
But right now, I'm acting as Carl's proxy in this situation.
Thought it'd be easier on you
because you do look up to him.
- Pfft, nobody looks up to Carl.
I got a mortgage, man.
Like what the hell?
Can I even get a reason why they're letting me go?
- He said somethin' about you being too passive.
But to be honest, I wasn't really listening.
- I'm too passive and they're letting you stay?
- [Pedro] Afraid so.
- And I'm too passive.
You look like you're asleep.
- And half the time I am and that's the funny part.
But the world's just not a fair place, Marcus.
- Yeah, well thank you so much for being a great friend.
And don't get too comfortable.
Next, you're gonna be in here
gettin' fired by the damn janitor.
Nice half-ass man bun.
- It's a half-up, dude.
(rhythmic rock music)
(cards shuffling)
- All right, fellas.
You know the rules.
Got the pot comin' up.
Pot's good.
Bet's on you, Tommy.
- Hey, house rules.
No bullshit, fellas.
- You wanna talk about some bullshit,
what happened with that homeless person?
- Man, we had the rope ready.
You guys got in my way.
We had the rope, I was ready.
- Yeah, we got in his way. - Bullshit.
- Right. (chuckles)
- I'll raise. - Yeah.
- I mean but when it comes to killin' homeless guys,
my bet's not on you though.
- What're you sayin', I'm too chickenshit to do it?
- Exactly what we're saying.
We were all there.
- I think I can handle it.
I think it can kill any man any day of the week.
- [Clint] Oh shit, he might have somethin'.
- Blake, it's on you.
Blake, you all right?
- Stand up.
- Kelly, I didn't know you were comin' by.
(soft foreboding music)
- You know, there's a thing called discretion
and
only wild dogs attack before they signal a warning.
- What, all that crap on the news?
Man, that wasn't us.
- Gonna make this vividly clear to all of you.
(alcohol trickling)
You are not one of us.
You attack at random, tying people up on poles.
- Kelly.
Man
with respect now, I didn't-
(chair bashing) (glass shattering)
- Your little gang, it's causing unwanted attention.
And unfortunately, you can't join us.
You don't even know the basics.
- Look, man.
We're gonna stop everything.
- Yeah, man. It's not a big deal.
- I know.
(dark foreboding music)
Step forward.
- C'mon.
(dark intriguing music)
Tommy,
I want you to grip the handle of this knife
as tight as you can.
Pin it to the floor.
(dark intriguing music)
Go ahead.
Now, hold it there.
Don't move.
Kneel down for me.
Good.
Now
I want you to fall.
(dark intriguing music)
That's right.
Go ahead.
- Kelly,
I'm sorry.
- Fall on the knife.
Dazzle us with your amazing powers.
- Kelly, please.
Don't make me do this.
- I'm not gonna ask you again.
- Kelly, I'm sorry.
(dark intriguing music)
- You,
push him.
Push him or you're next.
(dark intriguing music)
(Blake breathing heavily)
Wait.
It's okay.
C'mon.
Get up.
Just wanted to mess with you a little bit, all right?
- Oh my god.
- Come on. - Dude.
- Look at your face.
- (sighs) Man I'm sorry.
It won't ever happen again.
- You know, on second thought.
(dark intriguing music) (knife stabbing)
(Blake wincing)
Keep my eye on the news.
Hopefully I won't have to pay you boys another visit.
(dark intriguing music)
(glass banging)
(television chattering)
- [Commentator] They've won 45
of the first 50 games this season.
No power.
One home run game.
No power.
No production and then caught fire in the second half.
- [Commentator] He went on the disabled list on June 18th
from an oblique injury and came back with 19 home runs.
Part of the reason he started goin' the other way.
But in hitting ball with a little bit more regularity
right away.
- [Commentator] Three balls.
- I lost my job today.
- I'm sorry.
- Probably for the best.
- [Commentator] The Angels haven't been able to score.
- I mean it paid well.
- [Commentator] Hitting at the end
when Simmons singled to left field.
- You know, I never needed that much.
Never needed a awesome career or even this house.
None of that ever really mattered to me.
- Well what did matter?
- [Commentator] Really has to be patient because-
- I don't know.
I guess-
- [Commentator] Rush that fast forward there.
- I guess all I ever really wanted was a big Italian family
like the one I grew up with.
But my own, you know?
Someone to come home to, someone to
fight for.
- [Commentator] Pitched a good one.
- [Commentator] That's an easy answer I would think.
- [Commentator] I would think? (chuckles)
- [Commentator] We'll see.
Good one was called out on strike.
- Well anyway, for now I just volunteer.
I mentor this kid named Troy
who probably knows more about life than I do.
- Wait, you mentor kids?
- Yeah, his dad passed away when he was six
and his mom got into drugs.
She's been clean for a while now.
I don't know, I just go hang out with him.
I listen mostly.
Most people don't need or want advice or anything.
They just wanna know someone's listening.
- [Commentator] I can't just power my way
through these lineups anymore.
- I really coulda used someone like that growing up.
Oh by the way, I went to the thrift store today.
I was looking for some headphones and I found some of these.
- [Commentator] He missed his spot there.
- This is what I use.
- Yeah, I saw you using them the other day.
Thought you might need some new ones.
- Wait, these are for me?
- Yeah.
Do you like 'em?
- Yeah.
Wow, thank you.
That's very kind.
- Have you had dinner?
- No, just
beer mostly.
- [Commentator] Took a shine upstairs.
- Do you want me to make something?
- [Commentator] There's 1:45 in the third period.
- You cook?
- Well do you want eggs?
- [Commentator] One home run tonight.
- I could eat eggs.
- Let's do that.

Imagine there's this guy
and he's really smart and
very charming and remarkably well-dressed.
But he spent his entire life
looking down at his shoes
like every day.
Year after year, all he sees is shoes and
pavement and gum wrappers.
Then one day someone comes along
and grabs him by the face and forces him to look up.
And all of a sudden he sees people,
trees and clouds.
All these things, he has no context for
and he has to admit that he never knew anything ever at all.

you.

They lied to us our whole lives.
How can you not see that?
(soft foreboding music)
- You listen.
You surrender the piece of jewelry on your wrist
and we can forget about everything.
Then you and your little man can run off into the sunset.

You're just a shadow of the girl I knew,

Just seein' what's up.
Okay, gimme a call back whenever you get this.
Thanks.

It's not like either of them.

(birds chirping)
- Does anybody look home?
- Maybe they went on vacation.
(Marcus knocking)
- Hello?
I'm coming in.
It's Marcus.
(soft foreboding music)
Sidney.
Troy.
Sidney?
Hello?
Sidney?
Where's Troy?
(soft foreboding music) (door clacking)
Dude.
(dark foreboding music)
- I know.
I'm still gettin' used to it myself.
It's pretty crazy.
I had no idea I was this tall.
- Okay.
You're gonna have to explain to me
how it is you're standing right now.
- Oh, I think you know the answer to that.
You like it?
I think it suits me.
Anyway, now I know why you were askin' me
all those questions the other day.
However wrote that comic book knew something
and now we know it too.
- That's not why I was asking you questions.
- You wanted to know how to kill one, right?
'Cause of her.
- [Marcus] Don't want to kill anybody, Troy.
You know me better than that.
You know, your girlfriend there knows a lot about killing.
Did she tell you?
- C'mon, Troy.
We're not doin' this.
- Did she tell you what she used to do with those hands?
She's literally the touch of death, Marcus.
- Take that off.
- Come make me
- Marcus, don't get near him.
- Who asked you, whore?
You're a traitor anyway.
- Troy, listen to me.
I know them better than you do.
They're just using you.
I know what they told you and I know you feel so strong
and so free right now, but they don't tell you the cost.
- Look, could you shut her up please?
- She's right, man.
They're just using you.
- Fine.
I'll do it myself.
- Dude.
- Seriously, dude?
You're picking this traitor over me?
I thought we were brothers.
- We'll be brothers again, just not like this.
- I can't go back.
I'm not going back to that chair.
If I have to break every bone in her body, I will.
And trust me, I can.
- Mia. - Touch me and I'll kill you.
- He told you to embrace your freedom, right?
That nobody could ever hurt you again.
No more bullies.
No more rejection.
- Don't move.
- Marcus talks about you all the time.
There's kindness in you.
Don't let them take that away.
- I'm warning you.
You haven't seen what I can do.
- That ring doesn't make you strong.
It makes you weak.
(soft intriguing music)
- I can't.
- Look at me.
I'll help you.
- I'm not going back.
- Do you feel that?
Feel my hands.
- Please.
Please stop showing me this.
(soft intriguing music)
(ring clinking)
- It's okay.
You're okay.
I got you now.
(soft soothing music)
(Mia breathing heavily)
(Mia wincing)
- Careful.
You okay?
- I'm fine.
(birds chirping)
- Hey, we did the right thing back there, right?
- Yes.
- Well do you think you can you know, help him out?
- Like make him walk?
- Yeah, can you?
- It doesn't always work that way.
- I saw you help that little girl.
Can't you just try?
- My power already went into him.
- Well then why isn't he better?
- He is.
(birds chirping)
(Mia wincing)
- Careful.
- We have to go.
(dark foreboding music)
- Hey, just get some rest, okay?
- I have a surprise in-store for old Marcus.
- You like it?
I think it suits me.
- I'll go make us somethin' to eat.
So if I want him to kill ya, now's my chance.
- I'm so stupid.
I can't believe I'm this stupid.
- Wait, what are you talkin' about?
- It was a setup.
He played me.
- You mean Kelly.
- He's not who I thought he was.
I'm sorry I brought you into this.
- No, stop.
It's okay, don't worry about it.
But you have to tell me is he gonna try somethin' tonight?
- He knows I'll be better in the morning.
Look, can you just find somewhere to go, somewhere safe?
Just not here.
He knows I'm here.
- No, I'm not goin' anywhere.
We're in this together, okay?
- Marcus, even if you were like us,
this isn't your fight.
- I'm staying with you.
- I'm begging you.
(soft intriguing music)
- Pedro, hey man.
- Marcus.
What's goin' on, buddy?
- Listen, all that stuff that went down a little while ago,
just forget about it, okay?
- (sighs) Dude, I am really sorry about what happened.
I actually got fired two days after.
- You got fired too?
Man.
Who did it?
- Dude, you'll never guess who I got fired by.
I got fired by Jerry.
- From accounting?
Oh my god, you got fired by a friggin' temp.
That's way worse. (chuckles)
- [Pedro] Yeah, I'm pretty sure I deserve it though.
- Hey listen, man.
This is gonna sound really random,
but didn't you use to box?
- I was Golden Glove champion back when I was 12.
What's goin' on?
- How soon can you get over to my place?
- [Pedro] This time of night, man?
Probably like 20 minutes give or take.
- Perfect and
bring weapons.
- Now we're talkin'.
(dark intriguing music) (crickets chirping)
(wind chimes chiming)
- Please don't come here.
Please don't come here.
Don't do this.
They're good people.
Please.
Just tell me what I should do.
The warehouse?
I'll be there in 30.
(dark intriguing music)
(crickets chirping)
- Nothing gets past this front door tonight, got it?
- Copy that.
- (sniffs) Do you smell gasoline?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Oh by the way, I said to make her smile.
Not fall in love with her.
- It's complicated.
- It always is.
(dark intriguing music) (crickets chirping)
(soft foreboding music)
(crickets chirping)
- Hey Mia, you feelin' better?
Mia? (knocks)
(dark intriguing music)
Pedro, Mia bolted.
Stay here and guard the house.
I think I know where she went.
(dark intriguing music) (crickets chirping)
- Good luck, soldier.
Good luck.
(dark foreboding music)
- [Mia] How did you even get in here?
(knife clicking)
- You still listen to music at night,
block out all the screams?
- I know why you brought me here.
- Feel free to fight back.
- Promise me that when I'm gone,
you're not gonna hurt Marcus.
- Grant you that one for old-time's sake.
- You know, you didn't need to bring the kid into this.
I never stood a chance against you anyway.
- I know,
but why risk it?
(soft foreboding music)
- We knew each other before they found us.
It doesn't have to end this way.
Things can be different.
I can show you.
- Do you really mean that?
(soft poignant music)
Here's what I'll do:
go back,
tell 'em I never found you.
Me and you can just go our separate ways.
Bye, butterfly.
(dark intriguing music)
(Kelly wincing)
(Kelly weeping)
(soft poignant music)
- What'd you do?
- Sorry.
- Mia.
- [Kelly] I didn't know.
- Mia. - I didn't know.
(soft poignant music) (Marcus weeping)
(crow cawing) (birds chirping)
(soft poignant music)
- I'm sorry, my brother.
I know you guys got really close there at the end.
- Yeah.
Thank you guys for comin' though.
I know this is lame.
- No, it's not lame.
We all have to grieve in our own ways, right?
(soft poignant music)
- You still sellin' that house?
- Yeah, it just make sense.
I can't really afford it now.
- My mom said if you want, you can come stay with us.
- Thank you, buddy.
I appreciate it,
but I think I'm gonna hit the road.
You know, just clear my head.
- 'Least you don't have those Shadowlurkers on you.
- Yeah, it seems once Mia died,
they sorta lost interest, you know?
Go figure.
She was unusually smart though.
Everyone always underestimated her,
even me.
(soft serene music)
