I'm not promising you nothing

until you give me the code.

'Don't do it.'

'don't do it.'

'well?'

what's it gonna be?

Stubborn.

Things never end well

for stubborn girls.

Great.

Where did she go?

'To hell, I hope.'

we have to cooperate.

No, we don't have

to do anything.

You act like we have

a choice here.

She's blackmailing us.

Do you have any other ideas?

We've waited it out

this long, okay?

What's few more hours?

Jonna, I don't think I can.

'You know, I used to be

just like you girls.'

'i was a fashion snob too.'

'yep, buying fancy outfits

to relax at the pool.'

just like you.

- What did you do?

- Nothing.

'I did nothing.'

but you know, I hope you know

it does get real nippy

here at night, you know.

The whole, like, desert air,

it's, it's chilly.

'It could, like, cut you

right to the bone.'

do you have any idea

how much trouble you're in?

I'm fine, actually.

I'm a little worried about you

'cause you really seem like the

string-bikini type, aren't you?

What the hell is this freakshow

talking about?

The heater. She turned it off.

This isn't a joke!

You're going to kill us,

do you understand?

Yeah, I never said it was.

But unless you think

you can get through the night

without freezing,

I suggest you hand over

the pin code for your atm.

Just promise

you'll let us out of here.

I swear on my father's grave.

God, she's lying!

- We don't have a choice.

- There's always a choice.

'It's 6530.'

see, that wasn't so bad.

I swear to god, lady,

if you're lying to us..

'Stay as warm

as you can in there.'

oh, come on,

you have to come back.

You're gonna kill us!

She'll be back. She has to.

Oh, god. I swear to god,

when I get my hands on her..

Hey, hey. Just come here.

- 'Come here.'

- I'm gonna kill her.

Just hold on.

'It's so quiet.'

peaceful.

No wonder we used to come here

when we were kids.

Bree.

Bree.

I'm here.

Just hang in there, okay?

Has she come back?

She will.

I don't trust her.

When do you trust anyone?

I'm really not in the mood

for a lecture, okay?

I don't have the energy

to give one.

We can't just sit here

and freeze to death.

We tried everything.

'No.'

the filter grate,

I never tried it.

Maybe I can get it off.

You'll be okay if I leave you

for, like, two minutes?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Don't go anywhere.

Just stay there.

Bree?

Bree!

Bree.

Come on, Bree, wake up, wake up.

Wake up, come on!

Oh, god, you scared

the crap out of me.

Are you okay?

Did you get it?

'I couldn't.'

I'm useless.

You tried.

'No.'

I'm a coward.

Don't say that.

God, this is all my fault.

God, I wish

I could take it back.

'Hey. Jonna, hey.'

we can't lose hope.

I wish I was more like you.

Hey.

You are.

You just don't believe it.

You're wasting energy.

I need to move.

It's the only thing

that keeps me warm.

So this counselor in rehab..

'...did she ever talk

about what happened?'

stop.

I thought we were supposed

to talk about these things.

We're supposed to talk about it

doesn't mean that I want to.

Yeah, you mean only

when it's convenient for you.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

What are you really afraid of?

I don't know.

Yeah, you do.

You really wanna know?

Yeah.

Monsters.

They're everywhere.

So what?

'Suicide's the answer.'

you don't know what it's like.

It's like I have this..

Giant, black..

'...ugly thing inside me.'

rumbling, just eating at me.

You don't have

to be afraid anymore.

'It's in the past.'

yeah, well, you gotta stop

eating Chinese food, okay?

All those, those fortune cookies

are rotting your brain.

All those things dad did to us.

I'm sorry it lasted so long.

Hey, if he didn't die, it would

have kept going forever, so..

It didn't.

He's still in my head.

All the time.

It gets better.

'He's gone.'

keep reminding yourself that.

What the..

'How long have you

been there for?'

a while now.

Sounds like you girls have been

through some stuff.

You think

that makes you special?

'Alright, so you, you got

what you wanted.'

you gonna let us out

of here or not?

Yeah, maybe

you should have mentioned

you only had 80 bucks

in your account.

'A lot of good

that's gonna do me.'

god, are you joking?

You swore

on your father's grave!

'Listen.'

my sister's really not

doing so well.

'She needs her shot.

It's in her purse.'

'she's diabetic,

do you understand?'

- 'she could die.'

- Yeah, right.

You will say anything

to get out of there right now.

I'm not lying. I'm serious.

Come on. You don't want blood

on your hands, do you?

Oh, boo-hoo. Shut up.

I'm borderline diabetic

and my doctor says

I don't even need anything.

So maybe that's just

for lazy people.

I have a different kind.

'Can you just let us out,

please?'

you know, I don't really see why

I'm expected to do you

any favors.

I mean, this whole thing

just pisses me off, you know.

You put me in this position

'cause you're so stupid.

This is not our fault.

- 'Don't give me that crap.'

- What do you want?

The world doesn't

owe you any favors

and neither do I.

Come on, just open this cover

and let us out!

You know what, come here.

Come over here.

'Can you hear me?'

I might just leave you

both in there to die.

She's insane.

I told you she was.

We can't reason

with someone like this.

We need to figure out

another way.

What are you doing?

It's a little surprise.

I really don't think

this is a good idea.

Just trust me for once.

I'm so sorry.

'I don't know what to do.'

well, I told you, girls,

everything happens for a reason.

'I really need to tell

you something, okay'

'but I don't want

my sister to hear.'

it can only be you, okay?

Go ahead.

I, I..

Yeah. Okay. Come on.

I-I-i can't even hear you.

Go f*** yourself!

I got her!

I got her!

Stupid girl.

You don't listen to me,

you don't listen.

'You never listen to me.

You wanna ignore me?'

serves you right.

You think this is funny?

You got what you've deserved.

Now you're gonna let us

out of here!

You are messing

with the wrong woman.

'And I'm sorry, Bree, but I'm

sure this ain't the first time'

'you're gonna get punished

for something your sister did.'

well, this is for you.

- You smell that?

- Chlorine.

Shoot.

It must be the cleaning system.

Block the jets!

Oh!

You have anything

you wanna say to me now?

You had enough yet, girls?

The hole.

The hole.

Let us out!

What's that?

I can't really hear you.

Come on, please.

It's, you're killing us!

Please!

I can flip that switch

at any time, ladies.

You understand? You hear me?

Yes.

Speak up.

'We understand.

Can you please just let us out?'

I'm the one in control here now.

We're sorry.

And all these life lessons,

they're not free.

'You have something I want.'

you already have everything.

You, you have my phone,

my purse.

'What else do you want?'

I want that ring.

No, that's her engagement ring.

She's getting married.

Let me tell you

something about marriage.

It's overrated.
