00:00So the fish are out today, Jim?
00:19I wouldn't know.
00:22I seem to have forgotten my fishing rods.
00:26That's a shame.
00:29What are we supposed to do then?
00:43Bird watch.
00:46Catch frogs.
00:53Skip stones, maybe.
00:58It meant a lot to you.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:15No more lies to ruin.
01:20We won't.
01:25We don't need to tell anyone.
01:30We didn't mean to lie.
01:33We had to.
01:45I know it's not what you came to hear.
01:50But it's part of the story.
01:55Now.
02:00Oh, Dad wants to know if you found the extra batteries for the power outages.
02:07Yeah.
02:08We found the extra flashlight batteries.
02:10Coming along all right up there?
02:11Just the two of you?
02:13Yep.
02:14Yep.
02:15We're good.
02:16Sam and I are good.
02:21Okay.
02:22Be safe.
02:23Love you both.
02:24Love you too.
02:25Love you.
02:26We'll see you in a couple of hours.
02:29We'll be safe till then.
02:30I promise.
02:31We're going to meet the back of the cabin.
02:36My family were miners.
02:41My father, his father, my brother.
02:48Coal was never for me.
02:50I hated it here.
02:52I wanted to get far away from those noisy machines and the dirty coal that made the fish
02:59so sick and the men so bitter.
03:01I told my father he was never seen him so mad.
03:08He said I was spoiled, stupid, if I couldn't see the good that coal was doing for me.
03:15Three months later, the tunnel my brother was in collapsed.
03:22It was about that time those people started gathering, talking about connection to nature,
03:29positive energy.
03:32The dam opened and I thought things were going to turn around.
03:37But then those people started promising impossible things.
03:42Freedom from labor, a different kind of wealth.
03:48My father bought their message and took off.
03:52For a while, I wasn't sure if he'd written this or not.
04:02Then I met your grandpa.
04:04Gave me a job with the rangers.
04:06Tending to the park, keeping the people safe.
04:09We were so young.
04:13They even wanted us to film the day-to-day running of the park so we could show those city foe.
04:20Just what they were missing out on.
04:22As more people began to leave to join the cult, that's when we adjusted our roles.
04:29To investigate.
04:32Did you and grandpa discover anything?
04:35The seeing, I mean.
04:38There were complaints about strange things happening after dark.
04:44We tried our hardest to prove that it was the seeing.
04:49They were slippery.
04:51People were scared.
04:54Confused.
04:55After a while, they just kept quiet.
05:00Then they figured it was easier that way.
05:05Couldn't they tell that the cult was bad?
05:08I feel like it's obvious.
05:10It was.
05:12Until the eyes showed up.
05:14Everything fell apart.
05:18With fewer people in town, the company at the dam started to charge more.
05:24Eventually, the town couldn't afford it.
05:27We could feel the world warming up as they crawled back to their coal plant.
05:35We kept hearing stories about the eyes.
05:38I mean, William, we didn't put much stock in it.
05:40We thought it was the cult, the sea, trying to distract us.
05:45So we thought we'd find them and film them.
05:48To show everyone the truth.
05:51That they weren't real.
05:53But then, we saw them too.
05:58After that, William just left.
06:04I did everything I could to make sure that what happened to your grandpa would never happen to me.
06:12If the seeing are back again, you need to do whatever you can to get out of here.
06:21What do you mean he just left?
06:23I don't buy that people just fucking leave.
06:25It wasn't just anyone.
06:27It seemed to be people that were hurting.
06:31Lonely.
06:33Like my father.
06:35Like William.
06:37He had you, didn't he?
06:40So much he couldn't tell anyone about himself.
06:44Couldn't tell your grandma, couldn't tell your mum.
06:47He had to keep it from them for their sakes.
06:50He was never himself.
06:56And because of that, he never really had me.
07:01You look like him, you know.
07:12Really?
07:14Spitting image.
07:16I feel like the eyes are just here to help.
07:22We have lots of grandpa's old film.
07:26I gave it to your mum.
07:28Maybe she found solace in it.
07:31Could we use your projector?
07:33No.
07:37You need to go home soon.
07:40I'm sorry, your grandpa left.
07:44There's nothing to be done.
07:50Go.
07:55I hope things are easier for you both.
08:00So that's it then.
08:01You know our parents are coming today, right?
08:03We can't go back to the cabin.
08:05Where are we supposed to sleep?
08:08We're going to get grandpa's film.
08:10And then we're coming back.
08:12I have to know what he isn't telling us.
08:16I know he's afraid, but look where that got him.
08:19Got grandpa.
08:20What they lost because of it.
08:24I know.
08:26I've been afraid since before we got here.
08:30Your parents don't know that we talk.
08:33Do they?
08:36No.
08:37No.
08:38They don't.
08:40I just don't even know what I would say.
08:44I don't even know how to think about it without getting sucked into this like black abyss of my brain.
08:50Especially now.
08:52But, but I...
08:56I'm sick of it.
08:58I'm sick of secrets.
09:00You said your mom always kind of knew.
09:03You're like girls.
09:04I just wish it felt like that for me.
09:05I just hate that I have to say it out loud and other people don't have to.
09:15I'm just...
09:17I'm just angry about that, I guess.
09:20You're allowed to be angry.
09:23But you're also allowed to choose how and when you tell people.
09:27Yeah.
09:29Yeah.
09:33Dude.
09:34My eyes.
09:35Sorry.
09:37Um, I just wanted to say something.
09:41When you cut your hair for the first time, I didn't think you could get any cooler.
09:46It was brave.
09:48It was a risk and you didn't even think twice about it.
09:51Then you told me you were gay.
09:55So many people are afraid to be themselves.
09:59To say who they really are, how they feel.
10:02But you never were.
10:04Even if something was scary, you'd do it anyway.
10:08So, I just wanted to say that.
10:11Oh, thank you.
10:21I love you.
10:22Oh, I love you too.
10:38I don't think anyone's here.
10:39I was hoping they'd assume this is the last place we'd go.
10:49Are you really gonna tell them?
11:09Do you see that?
11:17Do you see that?
11:39Eugene?
11:49Eugene?
11:51Eugene?
11:55Why are his lights out?
11:57Because the power's out?
11:59He has solar panels.
12:09Is there a note?
12:19No. Nothing.
12:23There's no way he would've gone with them.
12:25Y'all heard him, right?
12:26If he didn't leave to go with them, then what happened?
12:40We just saw the eyes so close by.
12:42It's okay.
12:44The eyes won't hurt us.
12:46We're not alone.
12:47We're together.
12:49Hide! Now!
12:50You were right.
12:52I can't believe Eugene's been out here all this time.
12:54I never would've guessed.
12:56We probably didn't even need to write him a note.
12:58It's protocol for a reason.
12:59Right, but what if he wanted to write his own note like, uh, like Kirby?
13:00He's not like Kirby.
13:01Geez.
13:02Clean that up.
13:03I can't believe Eugene's been out here all this time.
13:04I can't believe Eugene's been out here all this time.
13:06I never would've guessed.
13:07We probably didn't even need to write him a note.
13:08It's protocol for a reason.
13:09Right, but what if he wanted to write his own note like, uh, like Kirby?
13:10He's not like Kirby.
13:11Geez.
13:12Clean that up.
13:14Oh, geez.
13:15Nothing but his note is to be left behind.
13:26Clean that up! Nothing but his note is to be left behind!
