[insects chirping]
[unsettling music playing]
[birds calling]
[Boy] This was never a great city.
Hilda Van Der Koy took it from us.
This is how she keeps control.
They call it The Culling.
[crowd protesting]
It happens the same day every year.
A twisted demonstration to strike fear in our people.
Every year, she makes a list of all her enemies.
If your name's on it...
She'll find you.
[soft sobbing]
[dramatic music playing]
[gunshots]
- [thunder rumbling] - [body thuds]
[dramatic music continues playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[animal calling]
[thunder rumbling]
[Boy] Hilda took everything from me.
And when I become the ultimate warrior,
I'm gonna return the favor.
But for now, I'm buried alive...
Eating stink bugs.
[sucks]
[intense music playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[ethereal music continues playing]
[Boy] I failed.
Back to the hole.
Can't be too angry.
[grunts]
I signed up for this.
I guess I just expected training to involve less... Dirt.
[slow guitar music playing]
[birds chirping]
[young Boy breathes deeply]
[young Boy groans]
[Shaman] Again!
[Boy] The Shaman says to be a great warrior,
I have to stop acting like a little boy.
[young Boy] Ha!
[Boy] Little boys get distracted.
Little boys hate doing chores.
Not me.
I'm the tidiest assassin,
super clean and super deadly.
- [young Boy] Ah! [groans] - [body thuds]
[Shaman cackling]
[Boy] In my downtime, I like to hang out with my best friends,
Gabe and Alfonzo, champions of Beetle Fight Club.
[beetles squeal]
Until it got canceled.
Shaman says warriors don't need friends.
- Or food, apparently. - [Shaman burps]
[liquid bubbling]
Just keep reading the dictionary.
Gotta stop thinking about food and Mina.
- [Frosty Puffs theme music playing on TV] - Frosty Puffs every morning.
It was the best.
I know Mom was a little...
Intense.
I don't remember much from before the incident,
but I do remember Mina.
Which is why I formed a plan for us to escape this totalitarian hellhole.
It's all here in this diagram.
You with me?
[Boy] Always.
I can't remember what I sounded like back then.
[voice on game machine] Super Dragon Punch Force 2.
Player Two has entered the game.
[Boy] That's why I gave myself this super cool voice.
I took it from our favorite video game.
[voice on game machine] Player Two wins.
[Boy] We were happy then.
Some things are hard to forget.
[sighs]
Liminal.
To exist between two states.
- Awake and asleep at the same time. - [Shaman cackling]
That's how I feel these days,
especially when we go to the city.
[animal sounds echoing]
[young Boy yelps]
Never sure how much of what I'm seeing is real anymore.
[pirate laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[giggle call]
[woman] Can I get apples?
- [man 1] Where is it? - [man 2] What is this, huh?
- [man 2] What-what do you have on you? - [man 3] Wait, stop.
This market's no place for little boys.
Run to your mommy.
[indistinct overlapping voices]
[Boy] Can't hear, but I'm getting better at reading lips.
It beats talking to these assholes.
Mina.
- [Mina giggles] - I still see her everywhere I go.
[giggling]
She made everything fun.
[Mina] She's the reason everything's the worst.
They're all afraid, but not me.
Watch.
I just gave her the middle finger five times
because it's all five fingers at once.
Try it.
[Boy] That was my sister.
She wasn't scared of anything, not even Hilda Van Der Koy.
We were naive.
- [blowing] - [liquid bubbling]
Shaman says our memories make us weak.
[Shaman] You are no longer a child.
All that you once were is dead.
- [Boy] Warriors can't be weak. - Ahh!
Ahh!
[Boy] I am an instrument shaped for a single purpose,
to kill Hilda Van Der Koy.
Show me the way.

Okay, this is all in your head.
Doesn't matter. Focus.

Okay, why did your head give her potato chips?
Just don't make eye contact.
If you don't look at her, then she isn't there.

- Okay, here. Let's go. This way. - [voice] All must cooperate...
- I love The Culling. Don't you? - ...And follow instructions.
All citizens are required to register...
- [Anna] What's wrong with you? - ...In the activities.
...Local authorities.
Order must be maintained.
Any attempt to disrupt will be met with consequences.
All citizens must follow regulations set forth by the Van Der Koy family.
Any attempts to resist or undermine the authority

- [soldier 3] Let's go. - [door slams open]
[citizens groaning]
- [soldier 4] Come on! - [soldier 5] Get back!
[voice over speaker] All citizens are required by Van Der Koy law
to immediately report to the square.
- Resistance will be punished. - [Glen inhales]
Have a lovely day.
[exhales]
[soldier 1] Don't turn around.
[door opens]

[Anna] Mr. Van Der Koy.
- Hey. - Can you maybe sign this for me, please?
Oh, sure. Sure, sweetie.
- Thanks. - What's your name?
- Anna, yeah. - Anna.
[Anna] Thanks for all you do for this city.
- [Glen] Oh, you're welcome. - [Anna] Long live Hilda.
- [Glen] Yes. [laughs] - [patriotic music playing]
Whoo! Speechy time. Yeah!
Let's get this over with.
Darrel, cut the creepy tiddle-tunes.
- Come on. - Yes, sir.
[music stops]
[coughs, clears throat]
- Whoo! Ha! - [feedback squeals]
"Rejoice and give thanks, oh, good people.
Today we celebrate your continued devotion to the Van Der Koy dynasty
- by making an example... - [mouthing in unison]
...Of those who pose a threat To a--

pose a threat and danger to our way of life."
Fuck. No, that's not--
- Gi-Gideon. - Yeah?
"Threat and danger"?
They mean the same thing, bro.
Jesus.
"Like the all-seeing owl hovering in the heavens,
searching for the dirty rats, the Van Der Koys..."
[laughs] I can't.
I'm-I'm sorry.
Owls?
Have any of you ever seen an owl?
Raise your fuckin' hand if you've ever seen an owl.
That's what I thought.
- Okay? [laughs] - Speech is fine.
Maybe the problem is the fuck puppet delivering.
Oh, yeah? You're making me a fuck puppet.
How am I making you into a fuck puppet?
You-- My-my own brother-in-law.
- Just read the speech. - Uh!
Never mind. You all know me.
You know why we're here. Okay?
So, we got a little naughty list
- with one dozen names on it. - [woman sobbing]
Yes, we do.
Twelve lucky volunteers for the big show tonight.
So, who's gonna be first?
Ah, you, sir.
Illegal possession of firearms.
Where'd you hide them? Come on, tell me. Do you have some on you now?
Come on, you little Houdini, you.
[man] No, it-it-- it's all me.
- It-- It's not them. - [Glen] It's all you?
- [man] Yeah, it's all me. - [woman] No.
- No, it's-- - No, it's not all him? It's you as well?
- I think she wants to go first, sir. - [man] No.
Ladies first. Maybe we should let her go first.
- Leave us alone. - [Glen] Oh, my God.
This is incredible, ladies and gentlemen.
This is real love right here. They can't decide.
- You guys-- - [citizen 1] Let them go!
That is a fucking child. Let them go!
- Do not interrupt me. - What the fuck is wrong with you?
- Stop fucking shouting at me. - [gun cocks]
You're nothing but a fuck puppet. Bitch!
Call me a fuck puppet one more time, bitch!
- You fuck puppet! - Ah!
[citizens screaming]
- Ah, fuck. - [soldier] Hold the line!
[clamoring]
[citizen 2] Get your hands off me!
It was an accident.
It was an accident, people.
June 27, you're up.
[Glen] It was an acci-- Gideon, it was an accident.
I got-- I got this. I got this.
[citizens chanting] Stop The Culling!
Okay, gun's goin' down. Gun's goin' down.
[shouting]
- Here's some candy for you guys! Woo-hoo! - Stop The Culling!
- Delicious candy. - Stop The Culling!

[Glen] Oh, God. A little overkill, don't you think?
We had a quota to hit.
Supposed to get 12 prisoners for The Culling.
Preferably with all their fuckin' limbs.
We need to get 12.
We can get this kid.
And her.
[June 27] No kids.
[Glen] What are you, the fucking moral authority now?
Need I remind you who you answer to?
Sure as fuck isn't you.
[helmet buzzing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[tapping]
All right, let's clean this shit up!
[grunts, in sign language]
[in sign language]
Ha. Who's a fuck puppet now, huh?
[engine starts, revving]
[Glen] There you go. Take these. Just hand 'em out.
[Gideon] Jesus Christ.
[Glen] It'd be nice if you showed me some support.
- [car door closes] - [engine starts]
[Boy grunts]
[Boy] It's happening. I'm a warrior. On a mission. The mission.
No turning back.
Auspicious. To show promise of success or victory.
Ready for anything that comes--
- Oh, shit! - [both exclaim]
- [Boy] Sorry. - Hey!
Wait!
Are you fuckin' insane?
- [soldier 1] All right! - [soldier 2] Keep moving!
- [soldier 2] Come on! - [soldier 3] Let's go.
[indistinct chatter]
[soldier 1] Come on, come on! Move out of the way!
[Boy] Oh, shit. Dead guy.
Oh, lovely.
Hi.
Uh, scooch over.
Dead, like so many others.
The rest live in fear.
That's the city that Hilda created.
That's how it's gonna stay until I kill her.
Tonight, her empire crumbles.
[dramatic music playing]
- [Glen] There's six? - [grunts]
- You couldn't find six more? - [Gideon laughs]
[Glen] Oh, God. Melanie's gonna flip.
[Gideon chuckles] What's wrong, Glen?
Afraid of your wifey, hm?
- [Glen] No. No, I'm not afraid. - [Gideon] Yeah?
[Glen] I'll smooth things over with her, okay?
[Gideon scoffs]
That's a pretty cute way of saying you're gonna throw me under the bus.
Hey, you're like a brother to me, okay?
I would never throw you under a bus.
- [Gideon laughs] - [Glen clears throat]
- [Melanie] This is it? - [Gideon clears throat]
I spent six months organizing tonight's ceremony,
and you can't find me 12 street rats ready for camera?
It was your brother, babe.
- And there's the bus. - [Glen] I told him!
He's embarrassing the family name. Did you hear about the speech?
- No. What? - I'm on the podium, I'm doing my thing.
It's going really well.
[breathes sharply]
A whole paragraph about owls.
- Owls? - Yeah.
[laughs] These-these people have never seen owls.
- [Glen] Never seen it. - [Gideon] If you're gonna shit on my art,
maybe try reading it first, huh?
The owl stuff connects to the end and ties the whole thing together.
This isn't a fucking art project, Gideon.
We let you write your shitty speeches
so you'll stop whining about doing your real job.
That's why you do the fisty punchy and he does the mouthy talky.
- [Gideon] Right, you're right. - So, next time, give my sweet Glen
some lines he can actually deliver.
Glen couldn't deliver a shit in the toilet
- without instructions. - Oh, my God!
Do you wanna come to the toilet with me?
Yet, and yet, he's the one the people wanna see, the one they trust.
[Gideon] Well, then maybe tell your shit-for-dick husband
to stop shooting his fans.
Yes. Well, we all know about today's little incident.
- It was an accident, babe. - Yes.
Glen's just being a naughty boy now
so he can be a good boy for me tonight at The Culling.
- [Gideon] Ugh. - Isn't that right, babe?
Yeah, babe.
Are you gonna do everything I say,
and hit your marks, and be a good, charming, little host?
[inhales]
[Glen] Always. Yeah.
That's right. That's why the camera loves you.
Get him changed and cleaned up. He's got a big night ahead.
This? No, I could just wipe this off, babe,
- with the-- - Go, go.
I need six more bodies for tonight. I don't care where you get them.
[Glen] Hey, Shakespeare... [scoffs] ...Go fuck an owl.
[Gideon] Fuck off.
- I'm sorry, are you talkin' to me? - Yeah, I'm talkin' to you.
- Now? - Yes.
I can't do it. We're doing a read-through of my script.
No one gives a shit about your writing, Gideon!
- [Mina] Hey. - [gasps]
[Boy] What the hell? How'd you get here?
- I don't know. - You talk now?
Of course I talk.
You just never asked me any questions.
Now that we ditched the cranky old man, I can do whatever I want.
I don't like that guy. He smells like old milk.
I'm not here to play games. I'm on a mission.
Ooh, I like missions.
We should wear disguises.
I'm gonna be a ninja, but with butterfly wings.
A ninjafly. Wait, butterninja.
- Wait-- - Shh. Be quiet.
Why? It's not like they can hear me.
I can scream if I want.
- Watch. [screaming] - No, no, no, no, no.
[screaming stops] Hm.
[Boy] Shit.
[indistinct chattering]
[Boy panting]
[Mina imitating ninja sounds]
[Mina] Okay, I got my disguise.
Look, now I'm super sneaky, but also, I can fly.
[Boy] Stop talking.
Wait, wait. I should go first 'cause I'm in disguise.
That's not a disguise. Butterflies don't blend in.
Exactly. I stand out more.
I don't think you know how disguises work.
I don't think you know how butterflies work.
That doesn't even-- What happened to no talking?
They gotta be around here somewhere.
- I think they went this way. - Wait.
All clear.
- Come on. - No, no, no. Move!
- [soldier 1] No, sir. - Fuckin' idiot.
Too tight in the crotch.
The only thing that should be this tight around my crotch
are my wife's beautiful lips.
Who the fuck is that?
[soldier 2] Move!
Get back!
I think you made them angry.
[Boy] Okay, I can do this.
Just remember what Shaman said.
[Shaman] You are a worthless piece of...
[Boy] Nope, that's not it.
- [soldier 3] This way! - [soldier 4] Get down there!
[soldiers chattering]
[soldier 5 grunting in pain]
[soldier 5 groans]
We gotta hide.
- [soldier grunts] - [Mina] Hey!
- What are you doing? - [banging on door]
- [Boy] Sedulous. - This isn't fair!
To commit total focus to a single task.
[soldier 6 yells, grunts]
[suspenseful music playing]
- [gun clicks] - Oh, shit!
[soldier 7] Back, back, back!
[Boy] New plan, no weapon. Don't need it.
Wait, is that what he said?
[Shaman] You are the weapon.
- [Boy] I am the weapon. - [bones crack]

- Catch! - [Boy] Thanks.
- You're welcome. - [gun clicks]
- Seriously? - Oh, fuck! Sorry!
[body thuds]
[grunting]
Oh. Hello, mate. Hello. Hey, listen.
Technically, yeah, I-I got your back with that,
- so maybe you can return the favor. - [gunshots]
You wanna kill these bastards, I can help.
I can.
Oh, oh! [laughs]
Ah, you want Hilda.
Okay, I can take you to her if you free me.
[Boy] Dodgy. To appear untrustworthy.
What are you doing? Please break the chain!
Right, right. Sorry.
[Basho exclaims, exhales loudly]
[Basho] Okay, okay.
[Basho] Whoa!
[soldier grunting]
We need to work as a team. Yeah?
[Boy] Team. I've never been on a team.
You push forward with that. Bam!
And I'm gonna-- and I'm gonna get behind that cart.
I'm gonna do cart stuff.
Yeah? Yeah. Go!
- [gun clicks] - [Boy] Oh, come on.

Wait, where'd my team go?
Right, doing cart stuff.

Round two. Fight!

Medium punch. Heavy punch.
Total knockout.

[both grunting]

[Basho] That was cool.
We keep meeting like this, don't we?
Yeah. My name is Basho.
It's like bash! Oh. Huh? Get it?
I would help you with all the fighting, but bad knee!
So what I'll do, yeah, is stick to my lane.
- I'm gonna do cart stuff. - [Boy] Right, the cart. Do we need this?
It makes sense to me. [chuckles]
Watch out!
- Ow! - Ah, yeah.
[inhales]
Oh, that's Dave. Yeah, yeah, he's got a lot of issues.
You can take him. Good luck.
Round three. Fight!
Fuck you, Dave!
[Dave] Yah! Yaah! Yah!
- [Boy] Ow! - [Dave grunts]
Oh, shit. Ha. Ooh.
[Boy] Player One wins. Game over.
- [Dave screams] - Oh, yeah.
[bones cracking]
[Boy] Game not over?
[growls]
Uh, yeah, like I said, he's got issues.
Woo-hoo! Yeah! [laughs]
[Dave coughs]
[grunting]
[inhales]
Aah!

[Boy] Player Two is fucking crazy.
[Dave cackling]
[Dave screaming]
Fatality.
Kind of.
- [Dave grunting] - [breathes heavily]
[Basho] Okay. Wait, wait, wait.
[Basho laughing]
We did it.
[Basho guffawing]
Ah, we did it! We fucking did it!
[Boy] We did it. I knew we--
- I thought for sure we'd die. - Oh.
[Basho grunting, yells]
- [Glen] Aah! [grunts] - [Basho] Oh!
- Ah, you shot me! You fucking shot... Ah! - [laughing]
See we make a good team, huh?
- Let's go. - [Glen grunts] God!
Fuck! Ah, God, that hurts.
I can't feel my leg! I'm shot--
- Whoa, no, no, no, don't kill him! - [Glen] Whoa, whoa, don't--
Don't kill him! Don't kill him! It's why-it's why-- He's got information.
He's married to a Van Der Koy. Aren't you, Glen?
- Yeah. Yeah, I have information. - Yeah? Yeah.
I have information. I do.
I-I'm actually working undercover with the Van Der Koys.
- I'm deep, deep undercover-- - Oh, fuck off! No, you're not!
Okay, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, but I could be.
Bench vice time! Fuck!
Or I could go undercover to be on your side right now.
Oh, my God, no!
- Okay, yeah! Right. - Jesus Christ, no!
- You ready? - No!
Where's Hilda?
She's at the mansion! She's at the Van Der Koy mansion!
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bullshit.
Hilda hasn't been seen there for years. He's lying. You're lying!
No, I'm-I'm not lying.
Every year before The Culling ceremony,
Hilda throws a huge banquet for the whole batshit crazy family.
They're all gonna be there, man.
If you want-- you want 'em dead, I can get you in there.
I'm your guy. I can get you in there.
All right, look, I'm not like them.
I was-I was with my therapist the other day,
and-and he-he asked me to look within, and I-I did.
You know, I looked deep within, and I realized this is not me.
This is not who I am, you know?
[panting] It's not the real me. They forced me into this.
Yeah, they forced me.
Put me on a fucking juice cleanse, changed my name.
My wife even chooses my-my clothes.
I don't even like juice. [sniffles]
Yeah.
You know what? Fuck them.
I'm gonna help you.
Yeah, I'm gonna help you.
I'm gonna get you into the mansion. We're gonna go there together--
[Basho] Oh!
Oh, shit. Oh.
Oh, oh, shit.
[Boy] Oh, wow. Um...
- Sweaty palms. - I see that.
Probably he wasn't gonna-- he wasn't gonna help us.
Definitely sounded like he was gonna help us.
Oh, fuck.
♪ La, la ♪
♪ La, la, la, la ♪
[Basho] Hm, hmm. [sniffs]
Oh, yes.
You're quite a fighter, mate. I could've used you back in the day.
Come on.
Spent three years in that shithole making their fucking guns.
But I rigged a whole bunch of them to backfire.
[imitates explosion, laughing]
[panting]
You know, the first thing they try and take away from you is hope,
but I never let go of mine.
And look what happened. Basho's free, baby!
[laughs, panting]
About time too. Got a lot of people, a lot of people countin' on me.
I am with the resistance.
Yeah. [laughs]
See, they try to use The Culling,
The Culling, to scare people from joining our cause, but nah!
It's all lies and illusions, and everyone knows it.
We're still strong. Still strong.
[Basho muttering]
[unsettling music playing]
[Basho] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Come, come, come. Come, come. [laughs] Right.
If we're gonna take down Hilda, we're gonna need an army.
Ahh. [grunts]
There we go. That's where my people come in.
Welcome to...

...The resistance.
Hm!
Hold on.
Okay, wait. Just hold-hold a bit.
What the fuck?

[Basho] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Benny! Benny, Benny, no! He's with me.
He-he helped me escape.
Hey, hey, it's me.
Hey, hey.
Put that down, huh? It's me.
- [Benny and Basho laughing] - It's me.
- Oh, how are you, mate? - [Benny] Oh.
Where is everyone? Where's the rest of the team?
Mapple apple camels.
[Boy] Mapple apple what? That-that can't be right.
All of them?
Ey?
How?
Dodo buns for long lamps.
[Boy] Uh-oh, can't read his lips.
Is he mumbling in a different language?
[Basho sniffles]
Wait, wait, hold on.
What about Yanmai? Where is she?
Yanmai.
Momo parking lot.
[Boy] Probably not saying that. Maybe if I concentrate, I can--
- Pick a pod briefcase. - Uh, something about pickles.
- Schnoogleboob drop-top. - Are these words? I don't--
Dodo buns for turtle bird.
Dodo buns sound fun.
Uh-oh.
[sniffling]
Oh, wait. Dodo buns are not fun.
[sobbing]
I've never heard a grown man cry.
Not sure what it sounds like.
[monkey screeching]
No, that can't be it.
[sobbing]
I'm sorry about the dodo buns.
Ey.
[Basho screams] That bitch will pay for this!
- [objects clattering] - [Basho] Ahh!
[Basho grunts]
[panting]
You know what, Benny?
We'll do it ourselves. We have a secret weapon.
[Boy] He's talking about me.
I saw this man take down an entire squad
of Van Der Koy soldiers.
I did do that.
- He killed over a hundred men. - Slight exaggeration.
- With his bare hands. - Definitely not true.
No bullshit.
Yeah, this, this is our shot.
Yeah.
You know what? For the first time in years as well.
You know what I know?
- I know where Hilda is gonna be. - [Benny grunts]
Yes. [laughs]
Yeah. All we need is a way in.
- You know what time it is? - Mm-hmm.
Plan time.
[both laughing]
- He punched the Tammy Tam! - [Basho growls]
Devil pay the Tammy Tam!
- [Boy] Yeah. Go, go team. - [Basho] Okay.
[Basho] Here we go.
[indistinct chatter]
[voice over speaker] Any individual violating any orders
will be subject to immediate arrest.
- [distant siren wailing] - [indistinct announcement]
[emotional music playing]
[Mina] We're gonna find our magical perfect place and stay there forever.
You with me?
[emotional music continues playing]
We have reason to believe the entire Van Der Koy family are in the mansion.
The Van Der Koys are made up of three siblings.
Now, Gideon, he runs the streets.
Melanie runs business and PR.
June 27, she is head of security.
And Glen, he no longer has a head.
[Boy] Mm-hmm. Sweaty palms.
Now, they all take orders from Hilda!
Now, The Culling ceremony starts at ten,
which means they'll be leaving the house by eight. Yeah.
That gives us a two-hour window to get you in.
[grunts]
[Basho] But you cannot go in guns a-blazing.
Security's gonna be airtight.
Dining room!
That's where Benny's plan comes in.
Take it away, Benny boy.
Go-go robot guitar the biscuit.
[Boy] Hold on.
[Benny] Sea diver ham man platter dance.
What the fuck?
[Basho] Hm.
[Benny laughing]
- Yeah, he's good. He's good. - No.
[Boy] Do I need to understand this?
- We'll-we'll beat the flame, right? - This feels important.
This is the whole plan.
[Mina] Maybe just pretend you understand.
Keep nodding. Look impressed.
- [Benny laughs] - [Basho] Yeah.
Bumper stump mop mop. [laughing]
Caplinky?
[Boy] Sure. Caplinky.
Basho seems happy. It must be a good plan.
I don't like this plan.
[action music playing]
[Boy] I bet the plan will make sense when it happens.
Like a magic trick.
- Lots of weird props... - Ooh.
...But then something amazing happens.
Except I'm the magician, and I don't know magic.
Nobody knows magic. That's why it's magical.
Right. So, this is fine.
This is fine.
[action music continues playing]
Hm!
[Basho continues laughing maniacally]
[grunting]
[Boy] Okay. It's that kind of plan.
Weapons, danger. We're going to war.
It's wartime. Just give me a weapon and...
Now comes the hard part.
Tramp stamp skidmark.
[Boy] Befuddled. To be deeply confused.
Deeply, deeply confused.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[classical music playing]
Finally. Disguises.
[Boy] Right, I'm a chef. Why am I a chef?
[head chef] The dinner scene will commence very soon.
Start plating the crème brûlée.
[Boy] I don't know what that means.
How do I plate a crème? Why am I crème plating?
[Mina] Don't blow your cover.
Just act chef-y.
[opera music playing]
[gasps] Oh, macarons.
Try one.
Chefs eat things.
[Boy] Fine. One macaron.
But then I need to find...
What was that?
Macaron.
That's delicious.
Eat more. You're a chef.
[opera music continues playing]
Oh-oh, oh!
Strawberry.
Caramel.
Vanilla.
So soft and squishy.
- Ooh. - Uh-oh.
[grumbling]
He's not happy.
[continues grumbling]
[head chef] Good evening. Happy Culling.
Gideon has prepared a most delectable menu for you all.
[indistinct chattering]
[Boy] I am an instrument shaped for a single purpose. To kill--
[Mina] You don't look like an instrument.
I'm gonna go take care of something. Alone.
You stay here and grab all the macarons you can find.
And when I'm done,
we'll bring them to our magical perfect place.
Sound good?
Mission accepted.
But what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna act chef-y.
[rapid violin music playing]
[door opens]
Still waiting on the crème--
[grunts]
[grunting]
[yells, grunting]
[groans in pain, wailing]
[grunts, screams in pain]
[rapid violin music continues playing]
[Boy grunts]
[Boy] I did it! Yes!
Player One wins.
- Wait. - [woman whimpering]
They look different.
- Why do they look so different? - [all gasp]
He just chopped her fuckin' head off.
[Boy] Something's off.
- [cries] - [head thuds]
Did I kill the wrong Hilda?
- Gotcha. - [gasps]
Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Mmm.
I didn't sign up for this. I'm getting the fuck outta here.
[man] Wait.
Put it down.
[diners exclaiming]
[gunshot]
[Gideon] Everybody, shut your fucking pie holes.
Get back into character!
Sit down!
Thank you.
That's right, they're all actors. [chuckles]
It was only a matter of time before somebody tried
taking down the queen on Culling Day,
hence the elaborately-staged family dinner scene
written by yours truly.
Flypaper for idiots!
Oh, easy now.
No need to get all butthurt because you fell
for the expertly-crafted and incredibly lifelike dialogue.
Great work, everybody, really.
Except for you, Dennis.
I...
I don't even know what to tell you anymore. [chuckles]
You're just not getting it.
Feel a fucking feeling, Dennis.
Think a thought.
You're an empty shell out here.
Are you still going on about your damn kiddie's play?
It's fine, Gram Gram. Just go back to suckin' on your mango.
Gram Gram's real. Just, uh, easier to keep her here.
Yeah, shoot the damn hobo so I can go and watch my shows.
I'm dealing with it, Gram Gram.
Just go back to--
[all exclaiming]
[Gideon laughing]
[Gideon] Big mistake, dingle-fuck.
Now, drop the gun, or she'll drop it for ya.
- [Gideon laughing] - [thud]
[Boy grunting]
[helmet buzzing]
[Gideon] All right.
Let's give the lady some room to work, shall we?
[soldier] Come on.
[instrumental music playing]
[both grunting]
[June 27 yells]
[grunting]
- [bones crack] - [both grunt]
[June 27 yells]
[grunts, panting]
[June 27] Is that the best you've got?
[both grunting]
- [June 27] Ah! - [Boy growls]
[both grunt]
- [June 27] Come on. [panting] - [helmet buzzing]
- [June 27 yells] - [Boy grunts]
[gasps]
[both panting]
Ooh, she's pretty.
[both grunt]
[June 27] Ah!
[Boy] My entire life built to this moment,
and I failed.
[animals chittering]
[thunder rumbles]
[choking, screams]
[Shaman] I knew your mother.
You will avenge her.
[crying, choking]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
[gunshots]
[Shaman yells]
[soldiers grunting]
[soldier screaming in pain]
- [June 27 grunts] - [Gideon laughs]
[June 27] Your fighting style...
I'd recognize it anywhere.
You were trained by the Shaman. Where is he?
[Gideon] Might wanna tell her what she wants to know
before she makes you her personal, little, filleted fuck-fish. [chortles]
[Boy] Read my lips.
[mouthing] Fuck you.
[chuckles softly]
- [laughing] - [Boy] Not really supposed to be funny.
- Did she read my lips wrong or... - [June 27 grunts]
- [Gideon] Oh! Oh, no, no, no. - [Boy] Nope. She got it.
[Gideon laughs]
[Gideon] Okay.
Easy, June, hm? He's got some answers.
This is going to require a little bit of finesse.
Give us some privacy, okay?
[chuckles] Oh. [laughing]
[door opens, closes]
[Gideon sighs]
Okay. Real talk.
Please don't make me do this.
This torture shit gives me nosebleeds.
You're pissed, you killed some people, I get it.
Hi-Hilda's my sister. You don't think I know what she is?
[breathes deeply]
[chair scrapes]
[sighs]
I'm tired of this Culling shit just as much as you are.
Every year.
We go on this wild fucking goose chase
roundin' up her enemies.
We ran out of geese years ago.
I'm out there collectin' fucking pigeons.
The streets are clean.
We won the war, but it's never enough for her.
She's delusional, hidin' out in her fuckin' bunker.
And why?
Because he's still out there.
That shitdick-for-fucks jungle asshole.
The Shaman.
[lighter ignites]
[laughing]
[Gideon exhales]
I'm tired. Sick of it.
You wanna end the violence? Just give me the Shaman.
Hilda's a piece of shit, but so is he.
It doesn't stop till one of them dies.
I'm done givin' a shit which one.
[Boy] Well, I'm not.
[Gideon breathes deeply]
You're ready to die for this, huh?
[exhales loudly]
You've got some fire in you.
I forgot what that's like.
Fuck it.
Time to try this the other way.
Let's see how far that tenacity gets you.
[door opens]
[grunts] Ready for murder town, motherfucker, huh?
You want some more?
I'm not finished with him yet.
[Melanie] It doesn't look like you started.
Uh, what's wrong?
Did he give wittle Gideon a nosebweed?
Get out of my way.
You've had a busy night. Talk of the town.
Younger than I expected, but this is good. This'll play.
We haven't met. I'm Melanie.
I believe you crushed my husband's head with a bench vice.
But you made a teensy mistake.
You murdered the wrong Van Der Koy.
Do you have any idea how hard it is...
To find a replacement host one hour before air time?
I spent years shaping Glen to what he was, you petulant little shit.
You think you sabotaged my show,
but you just gave me the main attraction.
You wanted to become a symbol, didn't you?
A threat to our dynasty.
I'm afraid not, dear.
You forget who controls the narrative.
Oh, I am gonna make you so pwetty for them.
Dainty, fragile.
That's how they'll see you.
And they're all gonna watch and cheer as you die.
Take him to the studio.
[tense music playing]
[tense music continues playing]
[grunting]
[Melanie] We're gonna have to make this work without a host,
which means I need the cameras to tell the story.
I want camera three in the splatter zone.
If you don't get that lens covered in blood,
you're doing it wrong.
We're reworking the intro.
- Hilda enters from stage right-- - [June 27] Hilda? She's here?
[Melanie] Yes. She finally crawled out of her cave.
Glen's dead. Questions will be asked.
They need assurance we're still in control.
Only Hilda can give them that.
Don't tell her who our sponsor is and keep her away from any guns.
She hasn't been out of that bunker in years.
She's completely unstable. We can't control what she--
I'm sorry, what can't I control?
Who's been shaping the city's perception of Hilda
during her paranoid psycho years?
She staged a revolution, but who got it paid for?
I make tiger roars out of kitten meows.
You, of all people, should know this.
After all, who made them fear you?
Now, come on.
Watch me make that crazy bitch roar again.
And get this asshole ready for camera.
[powering up, locks]
You should've just given us the Shaman.
[Mina] Oh, I think Mr. Grumpy Pants needs cheering up.
How about a little gossip talk?
[Boy] I could've killed her.
- Why did you get in my way? - I don't know.
That's not good enough.
You're supposed to be helping me.
- [triumphant music playing] - [audience cheering]
[announcer] Welcome to The Culling.
For 25 years, we've celebrated this city's progress
by cleansing it of all those who stand in its way.
Our proudest televised tradition was born from humble beginnings.
One brave woman who vowed to bring order to our streets
in the name of a dream.
That dream is alive tonight...
- I hate this fucking day. - ...As we welcome to our stage
The heart of our city, your courageous leader,
Hilda Van Der Koy!
Okay, here she comes.
[audience applauding and cheering]
And lights.
[cheering intensifies]
[man] Hilda, you're beautiful!
[whistling and cheering]
- [woman 1] Hilda! - [man] We love you!
[Hilda] Twenty-five years
since we reclaimed this city from the miscreants and murderers
who painted our streets with blood.
[Mina] I don't like this game anymore.
[Boy] One purpose.
I wanna go home.
[Boy] Shaped. Shaped. Shaped.
Single, single purpose, purpose.
One purpose only. One purpose only.
Kill Hilda Van Der Koy.
Kill, kill, kill.
...By punishing the...
[heartbeat]
Those who stand in its way.
They look just like us, don't they?
That's-that's how they linger among us.
The invisible sickness spreading from the inside, infecting everything.
I see it everywhere I go. I...
What the fuck is she saying?
I gave you the light!
I fight to heal you!
Read the fucking teleprompter.
[audience murmuring]
What's done cannot be undone.
You can't wash a hole and make it shine, no.
She's insane.
[Hilda] You...
You have to take a scalpel,
and you carve deep and deeper and deeper
until finally, you reach the...
And your little...
[screaming]
[Melanie] I said no guns.
Who gave her a fucking gun?
Give me the fucking microphone.
There's knocking at the gate.
[Melanie] Hilda Van Der Koy, everybody!
Get her out of here.
[murmuring]
Okay.
[giggling]
[cheering]
Now, enough waiting. What are we all here to witness?
[audience] The Culling!
What cleanses our city?
[audience] The Culling!
[Boy] Wait.
Let's see how far that tenacity gets you.
[Boy] This family needs therapy.
What sponsor makes tonight possible?
- [audience] Frosty Puffs! - [Melanie chuckles]
[Frosty Puffs theme music playing]
[Boy] What the fuck?
[Melanie] Here they come.

Oh, we cut it a bit close.
But the plan, the plan worked perfectly.
Come on. Boom!
- [audience screaming] - [gunfire]
[soldier] Move! Come on, go!
First, we got into disguise.
Then we took the butler's security pass while you created a diversion.
[Boy] Player One wins.
Perfectly played. Nice job.
Then we picked you up from the rendezvous.
[Melanie] If you don't get that lens covered in blood...
[Basho] Scoped out security measures.
- [indistinct chatter] - [door beeps]
Then Benny worked his magic. Fuck you!
Topple tart the handbasket.
Many maps bread man.
[Boy] Not this again.
Chopped off the barn farmer's feet.

Oh, yeah. For the scanner, yeah.
That was the good part, yeah.

I stop doin' the dishes. [laughing]
He couldn't free himself without help.
I know what you did. Fix this!
I already did.
Come back here.

All you did was improve my ratings.
Oh, yeah, go on. Do it on camera.

Make me a martyr.
Where are you going? Tss.

Oops. [sniffs]

Ah.
Probably was, uh, expecting a showdown, huh?
Huh? Classic boss fight.
Sorry to disappoint. Bitch sister Melanie shot me in the back.
[breathes deeply]
And she's the nice one.
You'll need this. [sniffs]
They evacuated.
They're in the bunker. That's where you'll find her.
[sighs]
Yeah, well...
Do what you gotta do.
[Boy grunts]
He helped us.
[Boy] No more distractions.
You can't just keep killing everybody.
You're not real.
Listen to me. I'm your sister.
- My sister is dead. - [Mina sobs softly]
[breathing heavily]
I don't need you anymore.
Huh.
[Boy grunts]
[elevator door closes]
[elevator rumbles]
[emotional music playing]
Ding-dong.
You have reached your final destination.
In a few moments, our lovely ground crew will open the doors,
unload a flurry of armor-piercing bullets
and shred you to pieces.
You will die alone and forgotten.
All for nothing.
[Boy] No. Not for nothing.
This is for her.

Instrument. Instrument. Purpose. Purpose.
Kill Hilda Van Der Koy.
[emotional music playing]
[Hilda sobbing softly]
[emotional music continues playing]
[Hilda] It really is you, isn't it?
I'm so sorry.
[sobbing] I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you.
He convinced us you were dead.
Oh, yet here you are.
Oh.
You remember me, don't you?
It's me.
Your mother. [sobbing softly]
He did this to you.
He made you forget what you are.
The things he must have done to you.
I can only imagine.
[coughing]
[Shaman] Is this your mother?
[grunts]
Your mother is dead, Boy.
[Boy grunts]
This is your mother.
Your mother is dead.
Hilda did this to you.
[scream echoing]
Hilda killed your family.
I saved you.
[Shaman cackling]
[both yelling]
[Hilda] It's me.
Your mother.
Yes.
[emotional music continues playing]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
[Mina] Can you see it?
I can see it too.
[Hilda] Look at him.
This man killed your father.
Trained soldiers to destroy our family.
[Shaman's wife sobbing]
He thought we were weak.
We're not weak, are we?
[shouts] Are we?
[softly] Yes, just like that.
Just like we practiced.
[Shaman] Please. Spare the children.
Please.
Please!
No!
[Shaman sobbing]
Ahh!
[Hilda] Make your family proud.
End this.
[young Boy screaming]
Get him! Go!
- [soldier 1] Go, go, go! - [soldier 2] Out of the way!
[Hilda] It's okay. It's okay.
[panting]
[young Boy crying]
- [young Boy coughs] - [Shaman grunting]
[young Boy gasping]
[gasping]
[Hilda] He used you to orchestrate his revenge.
Turned you against me. Against your family.
Against your own sister.
[Boy] Mina.
[Hilda] I did it for us.
For you.
Because I love you, and he took you from me.
[breathing sharply]
I spent years hunting for him.
I see him everywhere I go.
He's poison, like...
Like sharp embers, scraping behind my eyes.
But tonight, tonight was different.
He was there in that audience, watching.
Tell me!
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's not your fault.
No, no, no. He put you under his spell.
A spell that won't end until he's dead.
Just please, please show me you're still in there,
my sweet, sweet boy.
Come back to me. Please.
Please?
[dramatic music playing]
This isn't your brother.
Everything he once was has been stripped away.
He's lost to us.
[dramatic music continues playing]
The Shaman wants us dead.
This is his weapon.
Deal with him accordingly.

I never stopped looking for you.
They told me the Shaman had killed you, but I never stopped.
If I had my chance, none of this would have ever happened.

And they did.
Every last one of them.

[June 27] Hey.
Don't worry about me.
You know it's better this way.
You're free now. So, go.
Leave all of this behind.
[Boy] I can't do that.
I made a promise.
[groans in pain]
This time, we're gonna make it.
From now on, we make our own rules.
Nobody tells us what to do.
I'm gonna take us far away from this totalitarian hellhole.
[Mina] I know we can't stay here.
But now, we have something they can't take away.
A perfect moment.
Just you and me, here, together.
If something's special enough, you can always go back to it.
So let's make this special.
Are you with me?
Always.
