Beautiful day.

Yeah.

- It's not the season

for that yet, eh.

Squirrels, maybe.

- Ah, we're just doing

some target practice.

- Where'd you come in from?

There's not much daylight left.

Yeah, you're right.

We're gonna head

back in a minute.

What's the fastest

way back to the road?

- Yeah, it's real easy,

you just head up this hill...

what's your name?

Jeremiah.

- Better be careful out

here in those shorts,

you will get poison Ivy.

- I said you better be careful,

or you'll get poison Ivy.

Oh, thanks.

It's just the two of us

the trees and the animals.

- When was the last

time you were here?

Was probably your age.

Maybe uh, maybe a little older.

We used to come

out in the summer,

and then again in the fall.

I hated it at first, but then.

I guess I started to like it.

Quit staring at me.

What?

That cat's being weird.

I think he's possessed.

I think he's like, a person

who's like reincarnated.

Like, a guy.

Mid-30s.

It's definitely him.

Come here.

Keep your hand off the trigger.

Get it on your shoulder.

Aim with your right eye.

When I say fire, fire.

Fire.

Hand off the trigger.

Aim.

When I say fire, fire.

Fire.

Check this out.

Whoa.

I slept in it overnight once.

Liar.

- I'm telling you the truth.

Why?

- I was running

away from my dad.

It looks really deep.

- I don't actually

remember anything

from when I was in there.

I just remember coming

out and feeling different.

Different how?

- Kinda like I changed

into a new person.

I mean, I was still me.

It was like I traveled in a time

where everything was

the same except, not.

What?

Nothing.

What is that?

Trust me.

Tastes like honey.

What's that?

Maybe a bear.

Run.

There even any left?

Barely.

Hey, stop for a second.

Put it away.

Hey.

Who's over there?

Are you new?

Eh, I don't think

he's like, one of us.

Look how f***ed up he is.

- No, they're gonna

know that we're up here,

and then...

um.

Do you have water?

Here.

Drink.

You wanna tell me your name?

Jeremiah.

You're kidding.

You stole my name.

He's Jeremiah, too.

I'm Gary, this is Luke.

Can you stand?

Hey gang, how's it going?

Yeah, I know it's hot out here.

We'll be done pretty soon.

Hey.

Don't say anything about

when we found you earlier.

If he asks, just,

we were chasing a stray cat,

we just found you

there, all right?

Okay.

Good.

- Whenever you're finished,

Jeremiah will show you

where you can take a shower.

Get him some clean

clothes to put on.

And after you get

clean, we'll talk, okay?

Okay.

Good, right?

To write down three

things you've learned

while you were here, even

if they were little things

that you can incorporate
