Eternity insurance?!

A fail-safe'? That's bullshit.

Where is it'? Where the f*** is it'?!

It comes back here. Did you send it'?

F***er!

Seb.

This is all down to you.

It came after me because of what you said.

And What did she say?

It was on the beach. It chased me.

It pinned me down.

It raped me.

It's not funny!

Wait. It raped you?

You mean up the...'?

Aah!

It's because women want to talk about it.

You always have to talk about it!

B*tch!

What the f***'?!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it, stop it.

Shut up, shut up.

Seb, calm the f*** down!

Agh! Ah!

You're not laughing.

Isn't it f***ing funny'?

- Hey!

- What if you said no

and I f***ed you, huh'?

- Would that be funny?

- Uh! Agh!

What about you, sweetheart'?

You wanna go again?

It listens to us!

- It knows what we've done!

- Get off!

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to f*** all of you

and I will not be punished!

Fine.

Now!

"Ah!

- Uh!

Bastard!

Robyn!

What's...'?

This is us.

This is all us.

It's a cartoon.

A flick-book.

This is What's happening

to the space around us.

The bubble's shrinking.

The house is in the centre of it.

You reach the edge and

come back round but now...

the edge is just outside these Walls.

Time's running out.

Well, What happens when the bubble's gone?

Those things, pressing

on the edge of the bubble.

People.

That's going to be us.

Where is he'?

The bathroom.

Oh, Onie.

What is it, Robyn?

What'?

I was holding on to you and Seb.

But when I went... you stayed.

I'm sorry, it didn't Work.

Hey, Robyn.

Robyn, do you want to see something?

I never liked seeing myself in mirrors.

Imagine being one thing

and then waking up here...

...and you're me.

His tongue was hanging out of his mouth.

Fat...

Pat!

Fat Pat!

I'm so jealous of people who look like you.

- What does it want'?

- Ssh!

Robyn?

It targeted Seb...

once in the bedroom,

once out there.

Both sexual attacks, against a rapist.

What about just now'?

What did you just say?

I wish I looked like you.

Jealousy.

Seb was right.

It is Watching us.

- It comes when we're...

- Screwing.

Sinning.

Why is the mirror here'?

We see ourselves as we are here,

but you see the old you.

It's like it's here to remind you.

I know you think it's clever. It's not.

It's an animal.

It wants us to know What we are.

Sinners.

It's the worst way to communicate,

but we know to fear sin.

Then we should answer back.

- Are you sure Seb brought this with him'?

- Yeah.

You saw what happened

when it hit the bracelet.

I don't know, I think maybe objects

brought from the real world...

So because Seb brought that

vodka like Onie brought the bracelet,

you think it can hurt it'? The box, too'?

More than that.

I think it'll hold it.

She wants to go home so badly.

Don't you?

If I could see my mum again...

There's a whole thing with you

where you don't think you're any good.

But you are.

What I think is, as soon

as you believe that,

you'll get to pick and then

when you go, "Foomph!"...

you'll go for good.

Why me'?

We need someone to do

whatever it is the demon comes out for.

Seb's dead... again.

We know it comes out for you.

I wish I could take you with me.

All right, you lesbo! Don't get clingy now.

I know you don't... It doesn't matter.

I just like you.

I mean, from the minute

I pulled you out of the water, I...

What did it'? Who said it'?

- Onie. Onie was talking.

- Onie!

- I need you in the kitchen now!

- I didn't mean to...

- Come on, what did you say?

- She was talking about when we got here.

- When she pulled me out of the water.

- She didn't! Seb did!

- Onie, why did you lie'?

- I just wanted to impress you.

So you were taking credit

for something somebody else did'?

No, that's not true.

Right, stand there.

Give me the bracelet.

Okay.

Onie, I need you to bring it into us.

Tell us about the other times.

No!

Just... please try!

Once, erm...

I told my dad a Christmas present

was from me.

It wasn't.

Use this to bring it down.

I got thanked for organizing a party,

but I was just a guest.

I just wanted to be liked.

And I did, I cheated.

I got an old essay and just scanned it

and handed it in, like it was mine.

I cheated.

Liwy'

The box.

I cheated. I cheated. I f***ing cheated!

NOW!

It's working.

Stay there!

Can you speak'?

Yes.

Speak.

What's going on'?

Talk to us! ls this hell?!

Not... yet.

Soon.

I can hurt you. Do you understand that?

Now you stop me when I'm wrong.

This is What we know.

We're in some... bubble.

Hell's right outside.

But this is made for us, from us,

from our memories.

Yes.

Tabula rasa.

This house, it's...

a fresh start, a clean slate.

Do we get that because we're special?

Not special.

Then Why?

Because we all died together?

It's just good timing?

The bubble's shrinking.

When it's closed...

...do we get to go home?

Too. . late!

No shame!

Everyone...

fails.

Everyone fails'?

Heaven...

empty-

Even the good are damned.

- Nobody gets to heaven.

- Even the good are damned.

You feel jealousy, pride, anger, lust.

All the things that

everyone does, every day.

F***! You pull a sickie

or steal a parking space.

A baby cries, demands Warmth

and it's already selfish.

It's f***ed! It's a sinner!

It's going to hell!

This is...

the system.

And now, here...

...all we had to do...

All they had to do...

was be good.

I was good!

You know lust is a sin, right'?

We just needed to stay good

until the bubble closed.

Did you make all this'?

You did.

Eternity...

insurance.

The fail-safe'? It's real'?

Hey, b*tches!

Guess we can't die twice.

Se-e-e-b.

- You.

- Seb, stop!!

Uh!

Seriously?

Boo!

- Uh!

- Don't... move!

Are you in there, little mate'? Hmm'?

Little f*** buddy?

You've got eternity, right'?

Uh!

- What shall we do'?

- Ah!

Can you hear me'?

I...hear.

Is it true? Eternity insurance?

If one of us got into heaven, would

the whole afterlife be destroyed?

- That was just my dad's stupid...

- Wait!

Does that mean I'm right'?

Tell me, please!

Drink up! It's on me!

Seb?

Part...

...Seb.

I'll choke you, b*tch!

Good luck.

I'm already dead.

Aagh!

We're joined.

I see what it knows.

It knows What I did.

What we all did.

I'll be punished forever.

You, too.

Hey.

I think he broke her back.

It was like he was possessed.

But it was still him.

His rage...

his hate, his cruelty.

Amplified.

Uber-Seb.

With the power to do anything he Wanted.

What if it had been one of us'?

Oh, God! ls she f***ing tidying up'?

Yes.

She f***ing is.

Look.

Sunset.

That's not the sun.

Ready to be freaked out'?

Not long new...

...and that's going to be us soon.

It's no Wonder they reach out.

This must look like heaven to them.

Present.

- F***!

- I don't know What to say.

Say thank you.

Seb was the worst person

it could have possessed.

To be amplified.

But what if it was someone

who wanted something different.

Who wanted to get you out of here'?
