Good evening, and allow me to welcome each of you
to the annual Night of the Locusts.
Please take a moment to introduce yourselves.
I trust that you have hydrated and remained
physically and mentally ready.
You will find the target location
for your run in your respective packages.
There will be two unwilling players at the target address,
one male and one female.
Say something.
Now, there's no security system in place,
it was deactivated 87 days ago.
Always remember your oath and the laws
that you've sworn to obey.
Enjoy the evening, fellow Locusts.
And God bless.
Isn't this a surprise?
How long are you here this time?
Honey, Liz just got into town.
She's gonna stay with us for a few days.
Obviously.
I did the math.
How was work?
I'm a mortgage bonder, Liz,
Do you really want to know how work was?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Jess, a minute.
What the fuck, Jess?
She's had a brutal 48 hours.
How long has she been here?
Did you leave her alone?
No, god dammit, she just got here.
She just got through telling me what she's gone through.
How could you let her back in here?
We agreed on this.
That man laid his hands on her.
He is so much bigger and stronger than her.
He could have killed her.
If her story's even true.
She's a liar, Jessica!
Last time she left him, we lent her money
to get back on her feet, she fucking robbed us
and ran right back to him.
Just...
Listen
This is different.
She really wants a new beginning, okay?
We are the only safe place she has.
How many more second chances?
How many more this times?
Hi, honey.
Sorry, I was...
Daniel, thank you for having me.
I'll only be here a little while, I promise.
I know you've done a lot for me already.
We're happy you're here.
I'll be out of your hair soon.
I can't deal with this.
You have no idea.
I have far more important things to worry about it.
I don't need this shit too.
What could be more important than family?
Finding a way to pay for all this.
Honey.
Do better.
Why don't you do something?
All you do is spend my fucking money.
Oh, there you are.
- Here I am. - Come on.
Mr. Roebuck.
I was just getting ready to call you.
I bet.
Been quite a day for you.
How many of those have you had?
This is my first.
Hmm.
I think you're a liar.
I'd say you're about three in, and you're a vodka man.
Yes sir.
How'd you know?
We're not talking on the telephone, Daniel.
It's called video chat.
I can see you.
You know, I'm a scotch man, myself, single malt.
It's not too high brow and not trash liquor either,
but it gets the job done.
Is there anything bothering you, Daniel?
Anything you want to get off your chest?
No.
It's just this thing with my wife and her sister,
but don't worry, it'll be fine, it won't distract from work.
Oh, there's nothing more important
and more infuriating than family.
And I don't even know a Murray.
Was that the name of your fish in middle school?
I don't know.
Well, anyway, that's what I've been
calling the mailman, and his name is probably John.
It's true, it's terrible.
I've missed you!
Oh.
I'm so happy you're here!
Okay, okay.
Missed my Liz.
Hmm.
Wow.
Look at all this.
Look what you did, Jess.
Well, it's not all what it looks like all the time.
How are things?
I mean...
I don't know, I mean...
It's been an emotional roller coaster.
Yeah, Daniel.
I don't appreciate you running out today.
We were all waiting for a full report
on your interview, and...
You disappeared.
Yes, sir.
Sorry about that.
I needed to clear my head.
Get home, recoup, you know?
That interview was more an interrogation.
They tore into me.
What exactly did you tell them?
Nothing.
Nothing, sir, at all.
Any questions they had about the off-shores,
I said I had no knowledge.
Any questions about the board meetings off the book, I said-
- What meeting, hmm?
Right, right, that's what I said.
What meetings?
Our board members would never hold meetings
without some documentation or-
- Daniel.
Do I have to remind you that if this continues,
anything should become of this pesky investigation,
you're front and center in the crosshairs.
Yes, I understand, sir.
And do you think that your wife and her sister
would like this piled on top of their melodramatic baggage?
I don't think so.
His mood swings, I just, something big
must be going on at work.
I don't know, he doesn't talk to me about it.
He just comes home and boozes.
He gets boozy, Liz, it's not hot.
I promise I won't be here very long.
I've been looking at some inpatient-outpatient rehabs,
and this time I'm really gonna stick to it.
I promise I have some Suboxone, so I won't get symptoms,
and it's just temporary.
I know.
Look, it's not just Daniel's house, it's my house too,
and you can stay as long as you want.
Thank you.
Is that Jake?
Yeah.
What's he saying?
"Please, I just want to talk.
I'm really sorry.
I love you."
Give me the phone.
Do not respond to that psycho.
I'm not gonna respond.
Don't take my phone away, Mom.
I'm serious, Liz.
Don't engage with that man.
You're safe here now.
I promise you I was a champ in there today, sir.
They have nothing to bring any sort of charges.
You'll be proud of me.
Well, that's that's good to hear, champ.
Oh, I got a note today...
That there's someone from the tech department
is coming by your house tonight.
Fellow by the name of Isaac from IT.
Are you two buddies?
Yeah, Isaac.
No, no, no, no.
He's coming by later tonight to set up the generation
and computer here, so I can
continue working from home, log in from here.
I'm pretty slow at kinda setting stuff up,
so he's doing for me.
Danny, when I called you a liar earlier...
I believe that.
I just don't know how good of a liar you are.
The hell?
Fuck.
More shit to add to the list.
Oh god.
That is my cue.
Hey.
I'm really, really glad that you're here.
Me too.
Don't text that fucker back.
Radio silence.
You got a signal?
A phone signal?
No, it's not rall working right now.
You have a phone, right?
Yeah, see?
I was getting a signal earlier, but it's weird now.
Jess?
Jess.
Come on.
Jess.
Come on, open the damn door.
Fuckin' knee.
Who the fuck are you?
Jess.
Hey, what's up?
Ain't we some sexy mother fuckers?
So what now?
Who wants honors?
Oh yeah, fuck yeah, I'll kick that shit in.
No no no, first Troy.
What?
First Troy.
Oh, come on, unmarked.
First Troy.
Unmarked?
Tell us the law.
The law.
All right, well fuck, it just means
Eisenhower called dibs or something.
Fuck all that shit.
Unless one of you two overrules me,
there's a lot of time left on that clock.
I wanna have some fun.
What do you have in mind?
First Troy granted.
Hold on, my boot's untied.
Go ahead.
Oh.
Sorry.
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
Reveal.
It's my third run.
Was fucking memorable.
A place off a remote island right off the coast.
It's a family of four.
If you could call it a family.
So fucking dysfunctional.
The head of the family?
Guy's been in and out of federal prison
his whole fuckin' life, nothing but a con man,
being chased by the feds, by everybody.
Even hired his own private security guard.
Thought that was gonna help him.
Not that night.
We took all five of them, melt 'em all down,
line them up perfectly by the pool.
And I noticed a machete right there in the garden.
I picked that fuckin' machete up,
grabbed him by the back of his head,
and I took that machete and I swung it so hard,
and with one fuckin' swoop...
Reveal.
A lot of went sideways on that one.
Rained all night.
Was a frat house.
Bunch of drunk, high fraternity guys, you know?
Should have been easy.
No security, everything went wrong.
The layout was wrong of the house.
Right in the middle of it, six other fraternity guys,
they show up drunk off their asses.
Got sloppy, we were outnumbered.
And then one of the brothers had a mini stroke
or something in the middle.
Just wasn't up to it.
We had to disengage.
The only incomplete run I've ever been on.
Integrity hasn't been the same since One passed the torch.
Agreed.
And this run.
Nixon.
You're booze tastes like shit.
Do you like tickle pain?
Do you have tickle pain?
I saw him shoot shit up his nose.
This run could go sideways because of him.
I did a run with Eisenhower before.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Four years back.
this little diner off the main road.
Three employees, closed at midnight,
but usually took about an hour-
- I didn't ask for a reveal.
Of course.
And here I am pissing on the laws.
You ever have a duplicate?
Of course not.
That's not supposed to happen.
Well, someone's getting sloppy at the top.
My eye on Nixon.
Good.
Two runs from the executive branch.
I salute you.
Thank you, brother.
Protect the run.
Protect the Locusts.
All right, I got the perfect shot, don't worry.
Corner pocket.
You won't feel a scratch, don't worry.
Corner pocket, here it comes.
One, two...
Pacing myself.
I'm pacing myself, don't worry.
He's fine, it's fine.
Jesus Christ,.
Nothing yet?
We did a run before, you and I.
You?
And me?
No, I don't think so, my man.
It was four runs ago.
You were there.
That's not I, amigo.
Besides, run paths, they never ever cross again.
Reveal.
What?
You heard me.
Reveal.
Oh, shit.
Look at this motherfucker.
All right.
Sure, pal.
Come on.
Let the interrogation begin.
Come on.
Do your thing.
Oh, no no no.
See, now I know you're fucking up,
'cause that one right there, that one I remember.
That's four years ago, and that was a Christmas party.
Fuckin' serious?
Right now?
Fuck, man.
Fucked, fuckin' jam.
It's like a win-lose with that fucking...
Please, like nobody's ever done drugs in your car before.
One star.
A lot of shit changed for me that night.
See, we terminated 12 targets that night.
The first two I pushed right off
the top of that motherfucker.
Now don't get me wrong, I like that shit
because I happened to pick out the cutest bitch
in the whole bunch, right?
And you should have seen the look on that bitch's face
when she fell over.
But that's the thing, it's the look on her face.
I got it for what, one second?
Two seconds at most?
And then that's it.
Just watch her fall.
And hit the cement from 10 stories up.
And what the fuck is the fun in that?
See, if I'm gonna kill a bitch,
I want to see it in her eyes.
I want to see a fear.
I want to feel her struggle.
Now, what I learned about myself is that I like to kill,
and I like to kill 'em close.
I like to hear 'em take their last breath.
I like to feel 'em struggle.
Right?
I want her to look at me and wonder
what the fuck is going on.
So many questions in the last few seconds of her life.
Who is this dude?
What's happening?
Why me?
So I remember that night, but I don't remember you.
So no, Chief.
We didn't have no runs together.
You satisfied?
Good evening, and allow me to welcome each of you
to the annual Night of the Locusts.
I trust that you have hydrated and remained
physically and mentally ready.
You will find the target location for your run
in your respective packages.
You may open them now.
Please take a moment to introduce yourselves.
Hey.
He's fine.
He's good.
Still breathing.
Why don't you take your turn upstairs?
Okay.
Fuck.
What's up, guys?
She come out yet?
Truman, you and Eisenhower go take your turn downstairs.
Whoa whoa, this is just about go down.
I said the both of you go take your turn downstairs now.
Let the unmarked stay up here and take his turn here
You two, downstairs, now.
Time till the nation?
Just under 30 minutes,
Male target's already been eliminated.
What?
No no, what the fuck?
We still have 30 minutes.
Who called that vote?
It wasn't a vote.
Unmarked did it on his own.
Fuck!
I knew it.
And he had a cell phone.
That's okay.
The jammer will do its job.
That's not the point.
How many more strikes are going to give-
- Dealing with it.
You have the floor.
All brothers assembled,
All in favor of the compromised being eliminated,
show your marks.
Hey, was that the door?
Shh!
What's up with your shit tonight?
Couldn't get the buzzer to work
and my phone doesn't have a...
Oh.
Hello.
What's up, buddy?
Is Daniel here?
I was supposed to meet up with him.
Sound asleep, already in bed.
- Really? - Yeah, like a baby.
I just talked to him a couple hours ago.
He asked me to come up and install
some software on his computer.
- Awesome. - I'm Isaac, I'm an IT.
I'm his cousin.
Cool.
Family staying in town.
That's always nice.
Actually, we kinda usually hang out a little afterwards.
His place is a lot nicer than mine.
Fantastic.
Okay.
Maybe next week.
- Next week? - Yeah, have a good one.
Oh.
Oh...
Dan.
Fuck that guy.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Hello?
Daniel?
Hello?
Kennedy, chip holder.
Truman, timekeeper.
Eisenhower, the gammer.
I'm Nixon.
I don't have anything in my box.
Am I'm supposed to have something in my box?
What, you're an unmarked?
Yeah, I mean, I don't have any of those marks,
but I should do something, right?
It's your first run.
You're the student.
Just be ready.
We'll give you duties throughout the night.
Let's have some fun.
Can you come out, please?
Can you come out?
I'm tired of fucking waiting for you to come out.
Come out, just come out, it's okay.
Come out, please.
Will you fucking come out, please?
Fucking come on.
Any progress?
No, she's fuckin'...
No, she's still in there.
Who was at the door?
It's only a guest.
It was handled.
Okay.
Could have asked me to help.
So tell me, how did you find the Locusts?
How did I find the Locusts?
What do you mean?
Am I supposed to answer?
Me, you're asking me these questions.
Why do I pr...
What?
My name was submitted to the guild,
by a high-standing member in excellent standing, okay?
High level?
Now I got the phone call, all Xs pop up on your phone.
I answered the...
I answered the questions.
Obviously I answered them correctly, because here I am.
So Truman says he thought he saw you
with a cell phone earlier.
Why would I have a phone?
No way, man, I know the rules, come on.
That guy's fuckin' on crack or something, he's high.
Maybe you should be asking him some questions,
because I think that clock is messing with his mind, man.
Come on, man, you're fucking freaking me out.
Let's just get in here and get this taken care of.
Why don't you head downstairs and take another
crack at the pool boy?
I want a turn at this bitch.
Okay.
Five minutes until elimination.
All right guys, we got what we came for.
Now at this time, affirm to your brothers
by raising your right hand that you are tonight
forever abiding by your oath.
You are not in possession of any firearms
and you are free from any communication devices.
That the only time peace will be held
by the evening's timekeeper.
Always remember your oath and the laws
that you have sworn to obey.
If those oaths are broken, your brothers
will protect their own oaths.
Don't come out.
Wait, please.
There's somebody upstairs, under the bed!
There's somebody upstairs, an unknown.
I'm serious!
She's gonna ruin everything.
You fucking guys.
The one time I'm fuckin' telling you the truth!
Don't, please.
Go on, go!
Upstairs under the bed!
Fuck...
No!
Hey!
You got the unknown, right?
She went downstairs.
Now, for your selected level,
there is no security system in place.
It was deactivated 87 days ago.
The gate security code is six-five-six-five-seven.
However, you are encouraged not to use that as an entrance,
the gate could be deactivated by using
the same code when prompted.
Per your selected level, there will be two unwilling players
at the target address, one male and one female.
Timekeeper, start your clock.
You have 180 minutes, no more.
Time.
Now, you have been given your assignments,
and each of you know the pledge binding you to this evening.
As always, we appreciate your membership
and your generous donations over the years.
It gives us great pleasure to facilitate
this evening for all of you.
Just remember, protect yourselves, but above all,
protect all Locusts by first protecting the run,
and you will be protecting all future runs.
Enjoy the evening, fellow Locusts.
And God bless.
Woo!
Yeah.
Come on, you can't leave me here!
I'll be fine.
Please.
I'll be good.
Come on, please.
Come on.
Come on, please.
No, no, don't leave!
Please, no!
Cutting it close, Locusts.
Elimination report.
I'm sorry.
Two targets, one visitor, eliminated.
And an unknown in the upstairs closet.
Eliminated?
Clock ran out.
You guys are killing me.
Run intel was bullshit.
- A visitor, an unknown- - I got it, I got it.
- And your rogue? - Inside.
Law followed.
His first and last run.
Let's hope you guys didn't come up with seven
in the oh fuck slots.
Between you and me, there were five unmarkeds
on first runs tonight.
The One's grandson was on one of those runs.
She's all gassed up and ready to go.
I know it's chilly, but shed those
and don't forget the gloves.
I've got clean and pure clothes here ready for wear.
You guys have a good 365.
I've got work to do.
Extra work, thanks to you guys.
Did you not hear us?
- The intel was- - Yeah, yeah.
Fuck.
Bad run.
Hey.
What happened?
- Who are you? - Are you okay?
Don't come any closer.
I'm with the gas company.
There's been all kinds of crazy stuff.
- What happened to the- - What are you doing here?
The neighbor smelled gas and called the gas company,
but what the hell's going on here?
No no, don't come any closer!
I'm here to help you.
Are you okay?
Stay back, stay back!
Honey, I'm here for you, I'm here to help you.
What happened?
Are you okay?
She's dead.
Who's dead?
Tell me what happened.
Tell me about it.
Let me help you.
Tell me, what happened, sweetie?
What happened?
Shh.
It's okay.
