- I just don't understand how it could be lost.
I mean, it should have gotten here days ago
when the rest of the furniture did.
- Yeah. - I mean, it just,
they had one job to do.
They had just one job.
And now we are an entire moving truck short,
of what we need to survive.
- Well, I mean, I made it three weeks in the Sierra Nevada
with nothing but a water filter and a pocket knife,
so I think we're gonna survive.
- And baby, you know I love when you tell that story,
but all I'm saying is what is the point of color coding
every box that goes into the truck
if you can't find the truck?
And my car, how do you lose a truck and a car?
Like I don't need that.
How do you lose a truck and a car?
It just ain't right...
- [Charlie] You know you can take the 4Runner
until we track it down.
[indistinct] [phone keyboard taps]
[indistinct talking] [light music]
[phone buzzes]
[light music continues] [keyboard taps]
- [Charlotte] No, I didn't need to use that.
That's ridiculous.
- We'll be fine.
And plus, we can do with some guy time, right, Scott?
- Oh, this is it. This is it.
Oh, I can't wait to see it in person.
[car engine humming]
[light music continues]
[sighs] Is it not gorgeous?
- Well, it's a lot of house, darling.
- I know, and so private too.
- [Charlie] Look at that.
- All right, boys.
Ya'll fool with the bags later.
We're gonna go do a quick tour.
I know, come on, come on. - Coming, we're coming.
- Let's go buddy.
[car door thuds] - [Charlotte] Okay, you ready?
- [Charlie] Mhm, let's go.
- [Charlotte] All right! - [Scott] All right.
[Charlotte squeals]
[door squeaks]
- Welcome home.
[Charlotte sighs]
Oh, okay, I told them that this lamp doesn't go here
like a thousand times.
Oh gosh.
Everything else is looking really good.
They did great, didn't they?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's nice.
- [Charlotte] What do you think, Scotty?
Look, it looks really good.
- [Charlie] It's nice. - [Charlotte] Yeah.
- It's just not quite big enough.
Yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, you guys, the best part's out here.
Look at this.
[Charlotte exhales]
[birds chirping]
[Charlie hums]
- Red maple.
Poplar.
You don't see that in Lakeside.
- It's beautiful. - Yeah.
- What do you think, Scotty?
The deck, the yard, the woods, just for us.
- It's all right.
[doorbell rings]
- Oh, you know what?
That's the, that's the food I ordered us.
This place had great reviews, so let's just give
it a go, all right?
- Hey.
You all right?
- Yeah, just tired.
- Yeah.
Look, I know that this is a big adjustment, okay?
And it's okay if you're a little bit nervous.
We'll get through it together.
Yeah?
All right, come on.
Let's see if this town knows anything about Thai food.

[leaves continue rustling]
[suspenseful music]
Scott!
Come on, buddy.
[birds chirping]
[Charlotte sighs]
- Well, what'd you think, buddy, hmm?
Not the worst thing we could have scratched up, I guess.
I mean, it's no Thai Palace, but what is right?
Yeah.
Except Thai Palace.
You know what?
We'll find some other good spots, yeah?
- Where do you want these, love?
- You know what? That's upstairs.
Here, I'll show you.
Scott, sweetie, can you take this out?
I think I saw a can out back.
- What? We're not gonna keep that?
- We didn't want it the first time.
Oh yeah, that's shoes.
Come on, it's upstairs.
[bag rustling]
[can clatters] [Scott sighs]

[crickets chirping]

Lights out, okay?
Okay.
You got a hold of a good one there?

- All right, egg and cheese.
And looks like a bacon, egg and cheese.
Yummy.
And looks like a gluten-free spinach feta sun dried tomato-
- Okay, since we are truckless,
Scotty is going to need new clothes.
A backpack, lunch pail, the works.
- Mom, I don't need a lunch pail.
- Napkin, Scotty.
[Scott sighs]
And then I'm gonna run by the store
after my meetings today.
Charlie, I forwarded you the communication
of the moving company.
I need you to follow up with them
about the insurance claim that I filed.
- Hon, I think we can take at least a day
just to please just to- - Please just call, okay?
And let them know it's been nine and a half hours
without a response.
And don't let some mid-level manager
give you the run around, okay?
We need our stuff.
If I had not sent the furniture ahead of time,
we'd be sleeping out in the woods.
- Hey, you nervous? [Charlotte sighs]
- No.
No.
I don't get to be nervous. Not today.
Okay? - You're gonna do great, love.
Here. - Thank you.
- What do I always say, Scotty?
- Oh, honey, I've gotta go.
- No, trust me.
This is a good one, trust me.
What do our fears teach us?
- Maybe where the keys are.
- Uh huh.
I always say when we're really afraid of something,
it tells us- - [Scott] What we have to do.
[fingers snapping]
- Bingo.
Charlotte, we are proud of you,
and this is a big day for you, we get it,
and you're nervous and maybe even a little bit scared,
but that's a good thing.
It means you're exactly where you're meant to be.
- Charlie, baby, I love you,
but I just got promoted to CMO of a Fortune 500 company
and it sounds like you're giving me advice
out of a fortune cookie.
- No, I'm giving you what you need.
- All right, Scotty, I love you.
Napkin.
[Scott sighs] I love you guys.
See you tonight.
[light music] [birds chirping]
- It was because I couldn't run fast enough.
Yo, Zach!
Check it out.
Somebody finally bought that house.
- No way.
- I don't see a moving truck.
- Oh, dang it. - Ooh, close.
You know, there's a skate park up at the Y.
We should go sometime.
- With who?
- What about with them?
[bird caws]
Hey there!
- Come on.
[suspenseful music]
[light music]
- Go and say hi.
[Scott sighs] [skateboard rustles]
- Hey.
You just move here?
- Last night, yeah.
- Huh.
Where are you from, new kid?
- Um, my name's Scott.
We moved here from Lakeside.
California.
- Whoa, really?
- Cool. I'm Emily. - Hi.
- We're going for a ride, Scott, you wanna come?
- Uh, I don't have my bike.
- No bike?
- Yeah, you don't even have a bike?
- Well, I do, it's just in the moving truck still.
Should be here soon.
- Too bad, we go everywhere on bikes here.
- Hey, there.
I'm Scott's dad.
You guys live around here?
- Yeah, we do.
- Well, when we get our truck back,
Scotty will have to invite you over
for a movie night or a party or something.
Sound fun?
- Okay. Thanks, Dad.
- See you guys.
- No way I'm coming here at night.
Not to that house.
- Why not?
- You mean you don't know?
- What, you gonna tell me my house is haunted or something?
- No, worse.
- And it's not the house.
- Yeah, it's what's behind it.
[ominous music]
- [Scott] What's in the woods?
- See you around, new kid.
You coming, sissy?
- Don't call me that, Zachary!
I'm Hailey.
My older brother's kind of a jerk.
My therapist says it's because he's afraid
of meaningful change, but I think it's 'cause of his height.
He's too tall for the eighth graders
and too dull for the ninth graders.
- Wait, you have a therapist?
- My mom's a therapist.
- Oh, cool.
- You wanna know why you shouldn't go in those woods?
[ominous music]
I forgot how dark they are.
How scary they are.
- Yeah, I'm so scared of the woods.
- This isn't a game, Scott.
These are the Shaggy Creek Woods.
Bad things have happened here.
Kids have disappeared.
It's named for the thing that lives
on the other side of the creek.
Something big.
Something hairy.
The Wildman.
[crow caws] [ominous music]
People have seen it, Scott.
It only comes out at- [branch cracks]
[Scott sniffles]
- Ugh, it's that smell again.
- You know it?
- Yeah, I, I think there's like a skunk
around here or something.
- That's no skunk.
[ominous music continues]
Back away, Scott.
These woods belong to The Wildman.
See ya.
[suspenseful music]
- Hey, guys.
Dinner's here.
Okay, wanna help me out here?
Baby, can you start opening?
[Charlie hums] Thank you.
Oh.
Oh my gosh, there's no utensils.
There is not a single utensil in this bag.
- Well, not to worry.
15 years leading hiking expeditions,
you learn that some things always come in handy.
- There's the wilderness guide I married.
- So, Charlotte, Scotty met some new friends today.
- Oh, really? That...
That's great. That's fantastic.
- Hmm.
What was that girl's name again, Scott?
- You mean Hailey?
- Yeah, Hailey.
Right, yeah.
She seems nice.
- Yeah, Hailey sounds really nice.
- Guys, geez.
She's just a kid I met, okay?
- She's just a kid. - [Charlie] Yeah.
- Mom!
- I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Are you gonna see her at school tomorrow?
- I don't know.
Probably.
I met other kids too.
- Did you see something in the woods?
I saw you two talking in the backyard.
- Talking in the woods with Hailey.
[Scott sighs]
- We didn't go into the woods.
There's actually a weird legend thing around them.
Like kids have disappeared back there.
- Hmm.
So you've heard about The Wildman.
[ominous music]
- What? - Yeah.
I mean, who hasn't, right?
My coworkers couldn't wait to tell me about it.
- Really?
[Charlotte hums]
- Legend is there's an old monster that lives in the woods,
stalks kids, and only preys at night.
The Wildman of Shaggy Creek.
[Charlotte shrieks]
[Charlotte laughs]
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Baby, look, it's just a story that parents made up
to spook kids out of going into the woods.
It's a bunch of nonsense.
- Well, I wanna check those woods out, right?
See what we find, hmm?
- I don't know.
It smelled pretty awful out there, Dad.
- Is it that skunk?
There must be a den around here.
- You know, I was actually looking at maps, and your school
is like directly across the woods from our house.
You could probably hike it in like 10 minutes.
- A shortcut.
How rad's that?
You should show the other kids.
- You should show Hailey.
[hands smacking]
- Neither of y'all are freaked out about
The Wildman who hunts kids in our backyard?
- No, buddy. It's, it's just a story.
It's made up.
- And stop with the Hailey, Mom.
- Hey, uh uh.
Do not raise your voice at me, young man.
- Or what?
You're gonna file an insurance claim.
- Excuse me?
- [sighs] Whatever.
[light dramatic music]
[sentimental music]
[sentimental music continues]
[Scott sighs]
[phone clicks]
[Scott sighs]
[light music]
- Look, I'm sorry about teasing you, okay?
I know it's not cool for me to tease you about a girl,
but I'm just excited.
New house, new school, new friends.
- I like the friends I had, Mom.
[light music continues]
- All right.
I'll pick you up right out here after school.
Okay, buddy?
Hey, I love you, Scotty.
Have a good day, all right?
- See ya.
[door thuds]
[Charlotte sighs]
[engine rumbling]
[Scott sighs]
[bowl thuds]
[Scott sighs]
- [Hailey] Hey Scott.
- Hey.
- So how are you liking the sixth grade so far?
- It's different.
- Say cheese.
[phone clicks]
Your face is pretty great.
Oh, what's your number?
- What?
- Surely you have a phone?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
858- - You know,
typing's usually faster than talking.
- Okay.
- So your dad's from Australia, eh?
- Uh, yeah, but we've lived in Lakeside since I was born.
- And now Tennessee.
- For now.
- What's up, new kid?
- Sick mac and cheese, bro.
Wanna trade?
I got worms.
- So, how was last night?
Did you hear anything?
You know, they say he eats human flesh,
starting with the face.
- Gross, Zach.
Some of us are still eating.
- Just passing along a fair warning.
Don't get too scared though.
The Wildman preys on wimps and sissies.
[Zach laughs]
See you later, wimp.
- Someday that troubled adolescent will reap what he's sown.
- What?
- Something my therapist says.
[thunder rumbling]
[phone buzzes]
[Scott sighs]
[thunder continues rumbling]
You wanna come with us?
- My mom will be here soon.
- She won't save you from The Wildman.
- Stop, Zach, you're being awful.
Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'll be fine.
- See ya.
[phone buzzing]
- [Scott] Hello? - Scotty.
Baby, I'm so, so sorry.
I'm gonna be tied up for at least another hour.
- An hour!
- [Charlotte] I know, can you just call your dad
to come get you?
- He doesn't have a car. What's he gonna do?
- He can walk to you and walk you home, all right?
- I don't need a babysitter, I need a ride.
I think it's gonna rain.
- Okay, okay.
Can you just, can you wait in the school
until I can come and get you?
It should not be more than an hour.
[thunder rumbling] Hello, Scotty?
[light dramatic music]
- I am gonna walk.
- What? Scotty, are you sure?
- Yeah, there's some kids going home
to our same neighborhood.
- Okay, you're sure you don't need me to come get you?
- I'll be fine.
- Okay, okay.
Hi.
We're so so sorry, guys.
We are dealing with some pickup complications.

[page rustling]
[hand knocks]
Yeah?
- [Charlotte] Hey, can we talk?
- Sure.
- Okay, so good news.
They found the moving truck and my car.
So between that and getting your bike,
we're not gonna have any
of these pickup problems again, okay?
I messed up today, Scotty, and I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
My job, yes, it's important,
but not as important as you, okay?
You're the most of important,
and I got that wrong today.
Can you forgive me?
- Mom, it's okay.
- Okay.
So, in other news.
Dad told me you took the woods home today.
- Yeah, it was no big deal.
[Charlotte chuckles]
- You know what?
Why don't we go on a hike in there this weekend
and you could show us around.
Sound good?
- Okay.
So, I am going to take an Uber to work,
and your dad is gonna drop you off at school in the morning.
Yeah? - Okay.
- All right.
Night, buddy.
- Night.

[food sizzling]
- Hey, there he is.
Hope you got an appetite, buddy.
These suckers have got 18 grams of protein a piece.
Don't ask me what the fat is though.
I didn't read that far.
Something wrong?
- I think I saw something last night, Dad.
- Okay.
- No really, Dad.
- Was it that skunk?
- It was a lot bigger than a skunk.
[hand knocks]
- Hold that thought.
- Hi, Scott's dad. I'm Hailey.
I was supposed to meet your son at 8:00 AM this morning.
He's already 30 seconds late.
- Oh shoot. Sorry.
- Well, that's 30 seconds too many, isn't it hm?
- Well, punctuality isn't just about being on time.
It's about respecting the dignity of others.
At least that's what my lawyer says.
- Yeah Scott, did you want...
Did you say your lawyer?
- My father's an attorney.
Mostly estate planning.
He doesn't litigate anymore.
- Huh. Smart kid.
Hey, uh, Scott, did you want me to pick you up from school
or did you wanna take the woods again?
- Take the woods?
- Yeah, yeah, you heard me.
No big deal for my man, Scott.
- You're kidding.
- [Charlie] No, I'm not kidding.
- I think you can pick me up, Dad.
- Yeah, yeah. Good plan.
Give The Wildman a break, huh?
Well, you two have a good day at school.
- [Scott] All right, thanks, Dad.
- [Hailey] You seriously went in the woods?
What is wrong with you?
- I had to, I was stranded.
- You're lucky you made it.
- Yeah, I think I saw The Wildman.
- You what!
- Well, I, I saw some hair in the woods,
like caught on the tree.
And then when you texted me,
I thought I saw something in my backyard.
- What did it look like?
- Well, it was hard to see,
but it was bigger than me and hairy.
- Like an ape?
- I guess.
And I thought I saw it directly looking at me
when I was checking the locks, and then it was gone.
- Well, here's the thing I needed to tell you.
I think Zach is trying to scare you.
- Yeah. Well, obviously.
- No, I mean, he's planning something, something big.
I heard him on the phone with Brent last night
saying something about the woods and the new kid
and "Yo, we have to do it, it'll be freaking hilarious."
- What's he gonna do?
- Well, when Zach decides to do a prank,
you never know how far he's gonna take it.
One time he snuck into Brent's house, got into his room,
and poured honey all over his face.
Yeah, it was a hot mess,
and that was him just messing around.
If he's really trying to scare you,
I'm worried about his next move.
Just don't encourage him, okay?
Even the hottest fires will burn out in time.
- Is that something your therapist says?
- No, why would she say that?
- Well, if it isn't the wimp and the sissy.
[Hailey sighs]
So, keeping clear of the woods, new kid?
You never know what might jump out of there.
- Yeah, something might jump out and grab you.
- The woods didn't seem too bad to me.
- Wait, what?
- Yeah, I walked through them yesterday.
Pretty cool shortcut.
- Wait, you went through the Shaggy Creek Woods alone?
- That's savage, bro.
Zach's never even been in there.
- Wait, so did you like see anything in there
or hear anything?
- No, it was pretty cool.
- [scoffs] You're lying.
- Whatever you say, Zach.
- Ridiculous.
You're full of crap, new kid.
Come on, guys.
[bikes ticking]
- Didn't I say to let the fire burn out?
But no, you just had to fan the flame.
[wrapper rustling]
[indistinct] - Yeah?
Yeah [muffled talking].
Yes I heard what you said. Yeah.
Are you listening to what I'm saying?
Listen, huh.
- So, Mom's working early tomorrow.
Are you gonna walk to school with Hailey again?
[Scott sighs]
Just asking for normal logistical reasons.
- I don't know. Maybe.
- Maybe.
Well, if you do, bring a dictionary.
- What would you do if you came across Bigfoot?
- I would ask for his autograph.
- Dad, seriously.
- I'm serious, Scott.
He's not a thing.
- Okay, fine.
A bear.
- Oh, well I've seen plenty of bears
and they're very dangerous when they feel threatened.
- Threatened?
- Yeah.
Think about it, some strange hairless creature
making a bunch of noise.
I'd be pretty spooked too, eh?
- [sighs] I don't think Bigfoot would be scared of me.
- Yeah, probably not.
But if you saw a bear cub,
or even like a little baby skunk, back away slowly
'cause you better believe there's an angry mama close by.
- Uh huh, yeah.
What's that supposed to mean, huh?
- Just that moms will do anything to protect their kids.
- Of course we will, it's how we're made.
- You know, a skunk will attack an animal 10 times its size
if it thinks its baby's in danger.
- Oh, absolutely.
If something comes between me and Scotty,
I don't care how big that thing is,
it better run for its life.
- Trust me, I know.

Hey buddy.
One more set, all right.
- Mom took the car?
- Yeah, thought you were going with Hailey.
- No.
- Wait, what time is it?
- I don't know. I'm gonna be late.
- Huh.
Can you take the shortcut?

Run!

- Watch out!
[Scott shrieks] [body thuds]
[all laughing]
You should have seen your face, man.
You're such a wimp.
- Oh my gosh.
- [Hailey] Hey, you all right?
- You're so gullible.
- Wait, look.
The wimp peed his pants.
- No, no I didn't.
I slipped in the creek.
- Sure.
- Guys, stop it.
- You know, you two are perfect together.
New kid pees his pants and sissy wets the bed.
- I don't, you liar, and don't call me sissy!
- Aw, your feelings hurt?
- Hey, knock it off.
- Oh, the wimp speaks.
- My name's Scott.
- Guys, stop it.
Zach, you'd be scared too if you went in the woods.
- I'm not scared of them.
- I don't know.
Bro was booking it.
- I was just late to class.
I'm not scared of the woods.
Not like Zach is.
- Ooh. - Ooh.
He got you good.
[ominous music]
- Anyone can make it in the day.
You wouldn't last two minutes at night.
Kid was mauled in there.
They found his bones.
Those woods belong to The Wildman.
- I'll sleep in 'em.
- What? - What?
- I'll sleep in the woods.
- When?
- Tonight.
- Dude, what?
- You would do that?
- I do it and you promise to never call her sissy again.
- You're gonna sleep in the Shaggy Creek Woods?
- I'll take a selfie at sunrise to prove it.
And everyone will know that Zach is just a big jerk
that couldn't do it himself.
- Shots fired.
- He won't do it.
You're too scared.
[suspenseful music]
- Watch me.
[bell ringing]
[thunder rumbling]
[keyboard tapping]
[phone buzzing]
- Steve.
Hey, how's it going?
- [Steve] Hey, good.
Charlotte, how are you?
How's the new office?
- Oh, it's, it's great.
You know, I'm all settled.
I was actually just emailing you a quick update
before I take off for the day.
We're still on track for end of week
and I'm super excited to share the proposal
'cause the team's been working really hard on it,
so I think you're really gonna love
what we have. - [Steve] Oh.
Well, hey, listen, Charlotte, we, we got our bid from
the other company this afternoon, actually.
- Oh.
Oh, okay. [hand knocking]
Wow, that's, that's early.
- [Steve] Yeah.
So look, I know we talked about end of week,
but you think you could share your proposal today or...
- Oh.
Gosh, you know, we are...
We're still putting the finishing touches on this, Steve,
so it's, it's not gonna be ready to share today.
- [Steve] Yeah, I know you're a perfectionist, Charlotte.
Just polish up what you can and,
and get it over before you leave, all right?
Can you do that for me?
- Steve, look, I-I-I can't promise this,
this getting to you tonight.
- [Steve] Look, I gotta go.
I'll look for your email, all right?
- Hey, Steve, I don't actually think you're
hearing me here. - [Steve] All right,
we'll talk soon, okay?
Take care.
[phone beeps]
- Um, hello.
What was that?
You're not actually thinking
about leaving right now, are you?
Charlotte, you can't leave right now, okay?
This client is huge.
I don't need to tell you how important this is.
Look, you just got this position,
if they want the proposal early,
you find a way to send it early.
- I know, I, I know, I know, okay?
And [sighs].
Any other time I would, but this is about Scotty, okay?
I promised that I would be there for him today.
- Charlotte, it's not even two o'clock yet, okay?
And you're trying to leave and we have a deadline.
How do you think this looks?
Look, just call the kid an Uber
or make him wait for a couple hours, okay?
This.
This is what's important.
- No.
No, I know what's important.
- Charlotte.
- Sorry. - Charlotte, can you just...
Charlotte, can you just wait?
Charlotte.
[door thuds]
- [Charlie] Charlotte, I took time off to help
with this exact thing.
I know we're a vehicle down,
but I, I can rent one for the week,
I can pick up Scott and you can still make your deadline.
You don't have to do this.
- Oh, no, I know, but it just, I took this job
so I could see him more, not less and...
ever since we moved, he just...
- [Charlie] What?
Since we moved he just what?
- Charlie, he can't even look at me.
[Charlie sighs]
- [Charlie] Yeah.
- I need more time with Scotty whether he wants it or not.
- [Charlie] Okay.
And you're sure you can pick him up?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
And if they have a problem with me prioritizing my son,
then I've got a bigger problem with them.
- [Charlie] There's the CMO I married.
- Thanks, baby.
- [Charlie] Look, he appreciates everything you're doing,
even if he doesn't say it.
- I hope so.
[light music]
[hand tapping]
[Charlotte exhales]
Come on, come on, come on.
I can make it.
[light music continues]
- [Barista] Hello, what can I get for you today?
- Hi, can I please have a tall vanilla bean Frappaccino?
Thank you.
Hey, Siri, text Scotty.
- [Siri] What would you like to say?
- Headed your way, exclamation mark.
Send it.
[light music continues] [engine rumbling]
[thunder rumbling]
[birds chirping]
[phone ringing]
Come on, buddy. Pick up.
- [Machine] Please leave your message after the tone.
- Scotty, hey, I just pulled up to our spot
and I got you a Starbucks, so I'll meet you out here, okay?
All right, bye.
[phone tapping]
[Charlotte sighs]
[birds chirping] [bike ticking]
- Scott, please don't confuse defending my honor
with solidifying your status in the hierarchy
of middle school masculinity, okay?
You can't do this, Scott.
- Why not?
- For a plethora of reasons.
- I'm not scared of the woods.
- Well, you should be. It killed a kid.
- That's a story, Hailey.
Someone made it up.
- No, it's not.
You saw him in your own backyard.
- That was Zach.
- And the fur in the woods?
- That was probably Zach too.
And the footprints.
- You saw footprints?
- Yeah, but he's messing with me.
You said it yourself, the guy doesn't know when to quit.
And I'm calling his bluff.
He's been living in my head rent free.
- What does that mean?
- I don't know, it's something my wilderness guide says.
- Okay, you're right.
Zach's a jerk and he's been trying to freak you out,
but The Wildman is real and you should be afraid of him.
- I don't think he is and I'm not.
- Then what's the combat knife for?
- Okay, I might be a little scared,
but that's exactly why I need to do it.
- Did you even get permission?
- Dad's on a run or something.
I'll tell him later.
But they're gonna love this idea.
Trust me.
[bag rustling]
Oh, and I'm sorry Hailey, but you can't come.
- Who said I wanted to come?
- It's just too dangerous and I can't have you getting hurt.
- No one wants to go with you, Scott.
- Look, if you're going to insist,
you can help me set up the tent while it's light out,
but that's the best I can do.
- I have literally no interest in going with you.
- Okay.
- You're gonna get eaten, Scott!
[Hailey sighs]
Men.
[ominous music] [bugs chirping]
[ominous music continues]
- Thought you might join.
- Just to help you set up the tent.
Someone needs to make sure you go through with this fiasco.
- Yeah, good plan.
[branch snaps] [crow caws]
Come on.
[ominous music continues] [leaves rustling]
[ominous music continues]
This will work.
I'll set up the tent here.
Clear line of sight in each direction.
You know, in case Zach and Brent are planning something.
- Right.
- I'll be fine, Hailey.
There's no Wildman.
- Hope you're right, Scott.
[light dramatic music]
[light dramatic music continues]
He lived in your house, you know.
- Who?
- The kid who disappeared.
It was over 10 years ago.
He was a sixth grader named Cole Seager.
He took the woods home one day, never seen again.
- That's a story.
- No, it's not, Scott.
His photo's in the old yearbook
and his family moved away right after it happened.
The house has stayed empty for years.
- And they never found him?
- Never.
- So, was there a funeral?
- What?
- Like, how do you know he didn't just leave?
Like move or something?
- In the middle of the school year
and not tell a single one of his friends?
[somber music]
Why would anyone in the world wanna do that?
[somber music continues]
[bag rustling]
- [sighs] Thanks for the help.
- You're still going back tonight?
- Yeah.
- Do you have your affairs in order?
- I think so.
Hey, maybe the guy was just scared.
- What?
- That kid you mentioned.
I mean, if I was gonna move and never see my friends again,
I'd be scared to death to tell them.
Maybe he just left, never said goodbye.
- Maybe, or he was eaten.
I'm not sure which one's worse.
See ya.
[birds chirping]
[Scott sighs]
[light dramatic music]
- Oh no.
Mom.
- [Officer] When was your son last seen?
- This morning around 8:30.
[Charlotte sniffs]
- [Officer] And you've called the school?
- No, I-I-I spoke to the principal in person
and nobody knows where he is.
- [Officer] And he wasn't in any afterschool
activities, ma'am? - I think I know
where my son should and shouldn't be, ma'am.
- Honey. - [Officer] Okay, look,
I'm sorry, I just need this information
to fill out the form.
- Okay, all right, he was waiting at the school for me
to pick him up and I, I moved my meetings, I left early.
I went by Starbucks and got him one of those frappuccinos
that he likes and I told him I was on my way
and I was just a minute late.
And it was just one minute, okay?
And it was my, it was my job to pick him up today
and I just...
I just had one job. - Okay, hey, honey.
It's okay.
I promise you we are gonna find him.
[door clicks]
- [cries] Scott!
Oh my God, baby.
- [Officer] Hello?
- Oh, thank you, officer.
We found him.
- Are you okay? Yeah?
Oh, baby, here, sit down.
Don't do that to us again, okay?
- I'm sorry, Mom. - Hey, you gotta let us
know where you are, Scott.
This is why you've got a phone.
- I must have turned it off.
I'm sorry.
I was walking home from school
and then I was just setting up in the woods.
- The woods? - For tonight, yeah.
- Scotty, baby, baby, what are you talking about?
- I was gonna ask if I could, uh,
spend the night in the woods.
So, there was this dare and sort of this kid said
I couldn't do it and he's been a real jerk to me,
so I'm trying to prove that I can do it.
- Scott, no, absolutely not.
No. - Mom, it's not just
that I'm proving him wrong, it's that--
- Scott, stop.
You heard your mother.
Not tonight. Not gonna happen.
- Dad, I need to prove that I can do it.
I'm sorry, but this is really important to me
and tonight is the only night that I can do it.
- No!
No!
You are grounded!
- But I already set up the tent!
- No!
- Okay. - Go to your room now!
- Fine, don't listen to me!
[footsteps tapping]

[Hailey sighs]
Oh no.
[keyboard tapping]
[hand knocking]
- Hey, Scotty.
Listen, buddy, I, I, I know that you are upset with me
and you've got good reason to be.
I have been less than dependable lately,
and I'm sorry that I yelled at you.
I should not have done that.
And, and I'm sorry.
And your dad and I were thinking that
if this camping shindig is,
is really that important to you, then, then you should go.
What do you think?
[crickets chirping]
Scotty?
[hand knocks]
[light dramatic music]
Oh, no, no, he did not.
[paper rustling]
Did our boy just run away from home?
- He's not a boy anymore.
[suspenseful music]
- "Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was.
I told you I wouldn't do it again,
so I'm telling you now where I will be.
[Charlotte sniffles]
I am spending the night in the Shaggy Creek Woods.
It's not something I want to do,
it's something I'm terrified to do,
which means it's exactly where I'm meant to be.
[animal grumbling]
[animal howling]
Love, Scott."
- [Charlie] Pretty good letter for a 12-year-old.
- Yeah.
- You okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, it's just the woods, yeah.
It's like two minutes away, right?
- Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
- Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?
[thunder rumbling] [bugs trilling]

[suspenseful music]
[knife clinks]
[dramatic music] [Scott grunts]
- Whoa, Scott!
- Hailey, what are you doing here?
- You could have killed me.
- Sorry.
- Did you get my text?
- The one where you called me a wimp?
- No, Scott, the one after that where I explained Zach
stole my phone and that I was sneaking out to come help you.
- Um.
- Zach wanted to make sure you were coming tonight.
Now I know he's gonna prank you.
[bells jingling]
Decorative sleigh bells.
We tie these to your paracord and run it around the camp
with the hoop and bowline every four feet.
If anything approaches, it'll get wrapped up
and we'll hear the bells ring.
Just enough time to get a photo and the joke will be on him.
Everyone at school will know what he did,
including my parents.
Who will not be thrilled with his character choices.
- So you don't think I'm a wimp?
[thunder rumbling] - No, Scott,
but don't let it go to your head.
Pride comes before the fall.
- Right.
[thunder rumbling] [light dramatic music]
- Come on, we're running outta time.

Scott, wake up.
- What?
[light dramatic music] [bells jingling]
[bells continue jingling]
One, two, three.
[sinister music]
Where'd he go?
- I don't know.
[bells continue jingling]
[suspenseful music]
- [Scott] What is that?
- Zach, is that you?
- Well, look who it is.
- Okay, Zach, we caught you.
You can give it up now.
- Wow, he's really committed to the performance.
- You have no idea.
Zach takes his pranks very seriously.
Your little suit isn't very intimidating from this angle.
[animal grumbling] [dramatic music]
[muffled roar]
[body thuds] [bells jingling]
Zach?
- What are you doing here?
- Wow, I was sure that one was you.
Pretty impressive for Brent.
- Brent?
What are you talking about?
He's a wimp.
He wouldn't come.
And I would've had you both freaked if I didn't trip.
- You would not.
- Guys, if that's not Brent,
what is that?
[ominous music]
- I think it's a baby.
[Scott sniffles]
- Ugh, is that a skunk?
- It's no skunk.
- Hey, what are you?
- Zach, don't touch it!
- What?
You guys are scared of this thing?
- Zach, no! [baby snarls]
[suspenseful music]
- If that's a baby...
- Then there's a mama.
- What?
You think The Wildman is a...
Mama!
[Wildman roars]

Scott, move!
[Scott gasps]
[bells jingling]
[baby bellows]
[dramatic music continues]
- Guys, just go!
Let me die.
- Come on.
You're not a martyr, Zachary.
- We're not leaving you!
[Zach yells]

[Scott panting]

[light music]
[light music continues]
- Hey.
Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
- Quite the party you got out here, huh?
- Yeah. - Uh huh.
- We saw it, Mom.
- What?
Oh, oh.
The skunk.
- [sighs] Sure.
- Was it fierce?
- You have no idea.
- Well, I'm glad you lived to tell the tale.
- I love you, Mom.
- I love you too, buddy.
Okay, get some rest.
[light music continues]
[bike ticking]
- What took you guys so long?
- Yeah. [light music]
- It's a long story.
- So no sunrise selfie from the wimp?
- Hey, don't call him that.
- What?
- He's no wimp.
He's a wildman.
[light music continues]
- Have a good day buddy.
- Thanks, Mom.
- Are you telling me Scott is
The Wildman of Shaggy Creek?
- Dude, no.
- Oh, sorry.
- What's up, Scott?
- Hey guys, good to see you.
- Likewise.
[bell ringing]
- Okay, Taco Tuesday!
- Yes! - I'm starving.
- Totally. - All right.
We've got steak, chicken, veggie.
We've got chips, salsa and...
No guac, I don't believe it.
- Oh, I think we'll survive.
- You know, I think we will too.
- Well if only we could all agree on a movie.
- Oh, babe. "Devil Wears Prada".
- I don't like superhero movies.
- Do we have anything from the Criterion collection?
- Uh no, but we do have "Crocodile Dundee".
Sound good?
- What is "Crocodile Dumb-dee"?
- Guys, guys.
I got it.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ninja Mayhem."
- I don't really do horror.
- Uh, um.
- Well, what about a Peter Weir film?
- Yeah, let's do a Peter Weird film!
[everyone laughs]
What?
I'm not deaf.
- This guy.
- Who's Peter Weird?
What?

- [Bridger] What's up, bro?
- I'm sorry that I didn't call you sooner.
- [Bridger] It's all good, man.
At least you're okay, right?
Whatcha been up to?
- Bro, so many things.
Bro, I got one heck of a story to tell you.
- [Bridger] All right, lay it on me, let me hear it.
- All right, so bro, I moved to this new house,
which is kinda crazy.
And like we have these sick woods.

- [Director] Go ahead, Scotty.
[door squeaks]
[director groans] - Sorry!
- [Charlie] Scott!
Come on, buddy.
- Goodnight, Scotty.
- Night.
[crew laughing]
I'm doing it myself!
- I need you to follow up with
the insurance claim I followed.
- Hon, I think we can take
at least a day- - I filed.
[everyone laughing]
- I'm sorry, I forgot my line. I blanked.
- It only comes out at...
- Comes out.
- I was waiting.
- [Scott] Whatever.
[Charlotte sighs]
- The move's going great.
- Scott, do you want me to pick you up from school
or do you wanna take the woods again?
[door creaks] - [Hailey] Take the woods?
- Oh yeah.
[everyone laughing]
- Didn't I say to let the fire burn out?
But no, you just had to fan the flame.
- I completely missed the bag.
- I don't know why I don't blink.
[person shrieks] [Scott screams]
[bed rustling]
- [Director] Okay, sweet.
- That's someone's line.
- I thought it was him, and then me,
and then him and then you, and then she says something.
- Wait.
- That's what I thought it was.
- I love this more than my child,
but I have to at least pretend sometimes, you know?
- I'm not scared of the woods.
- Well, you should be. It killed a kid.
- That was Zach.
- [Director] No, that's a story.
- Zach did not kill a kid, okay.
[everyone laughs]
Sorry.
- [Charlotte] Yeah, oh no.
Freak V Dupre.
- [Director] Can we dim the light?
- Give me a rose.
