- I want to hold her.

- Of course.

We did all we could.

I'm sorry.

I don't deserve this.

I don't deserve this!

What did you do to me,

what did you do to me?

- What did you do?

- Susan, Susan.

Oh, my god.

The girls need you now,

they need their mother.

Listen to me... what did you do?

It'll be all right, I promise.

Look at me, Susan, I promise.

What did you

do, what did you do?

What did you do?

What did you do,

what did you do?

What did you do,

what did you do!

Enough, I said enough!

Got you.

Come on.

Stop. Miss Mason, are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure you're all right?

Did he touch you?

Yes, or no, no, he didn't.

No, no, he didn't.

Get Mr. merman back to his room.

This time, follow the

procedures precisely.

Yes, sir, come on, Mr. merman.

Doctor merman to

you, you young...

Yeah, just move your ass.

He's a doctor here?

No, he used to be, 15 years ago,

that was before the

pills and the mills.

He said he knows me,

he knows my mother.

He said he knows me.

Miss Mason, you seem

a little fuzzy still.

Do you remember anything

about how you got down here?

Listen to me, he

knew my mother's name.

He knew about me, he

said I have a sister.

Yeah, well, he also

wants to do a prostate exam

on me every Wednesday.

He knew our names,

he knew mother's name.

The apple queen, he was there,

he saw all of us...

Let's take a walk,

and you can tell me all

about the apple queen, okay?

Well, you need to let

my husband in right away.

- We'll do that...

- Just tell him.

But right now, you're

going to get some rest.

Okay.

Because everything is

going to be so much better

once you rest.

Hey, Paul, I was just about

to head to the hospital.

We need to talk,

can I come inside?

Yeah, yeah, uh, is everything

okay, is Claire okay?

She will be.

What are these?

Claire's family file.

Is something wrong with Claire?

Yes.

All of Claire's issues must

be stemming form malory.

Malory?

Is that a mental illness or...

- Her twin sister.

- What?

Claire had a twin sister.

No, she's never said

anything about a sister.

She didn't know,

nobody told her.

Claire's childhood was hidden

from her, from everyone.

Her mother truly must

have been a monster.

Look, look at this.

Here.

The baby was born

horribly deformed,

and her mother was so ashamed,

she bribed the doctor to

falsify the birth records

to show that her

twin was stillborn

even though the baby

was still alive.

That explains the

genetic aberration.

That's why your baby

was born stillborn.

It was inherited

from the mother,

from Claire.

So,

what does it mean?

- Claire's imaginary friend.

- Yeah, uh, Bethany.

Malory Bethany pinnacle.

Wait, you're saying that

Bethany is Claire's sister?

Her sister, precisely.

Um, okay, Paul, but

you're not suggesting

something supernatural,

this is...

Look, I'm a man of science,

but this house is doing

horrible things to her psyche

and I suggest you

don't bring her back.

Put your clothes on and get

dressed, please, right now.

We have to leave, we have to go.

What's going on?

I saw her, Bethany, malory,

whatever her name is, i

saw her and she fooled me.

- Where?

- She fooled me,

just the same way

she fooled you.

Dr. brown, she made me cut him.

- My god.

- On his throat, and he bled,

and he died, are you

going to help me,

who's going to believe me?

I don't want to go to jail.

No one believed you

and I'm your husband,

I didn't believe you.

No, no, no, okay?

I need to lay her to rest.

What?

She was my sister and

i will not treat her

the way my mother did, i

will not become my mother.

We need to do this to move on.

No, no.

You don't have

to come with me but

I'm going back.

I don't want to go.

- Are you sure?

- Not at all.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, I didn't want it.

She made, she made me.

I'm sorry.

All right.

There.

That was it.

That was my place.

There's a hole in

here, like a tunnel.

Can you make this hole larger?

Yeah, hold on.

Okay.

Okay, that should be big enough.

I'm going to, I'm

going to get inside.

- No, no, I have to.

- Claire, it's not safe.

No, Aaron.

I need to.

She's my sister.

Be safe.

Where does it go?

I don't know, it keeps going.

No, honey, I don't like this,

I don't like this, come back.

Aaron, it's okay.

Follow my knocking.

I'm right here, Claire.

Again?

Got it.

Aaron, I see a tunnel.

I'm going to go down.

Be careful.

Bethany.

Bethany, I'm your sister!

It's okay, it's okay.

Stop it!

Stop it, Bethany,

I'm here to help you.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!

Listen, I'm here.

Stop it, stop it, I'm here.

Bethany, I'm here,

I'm here, I'm here.

You're okay.

I'm here now.

I'm here, Bethany.

You're okay.

You're safe.

It was my fault.

It was my fault you died.

We went away.

I was 10 years old and I,

I begged mom to take me skiing,

it was a snow day.

Eight days in a cabin

with food and warmth

and friends,

while you starved here

alone in the dark.

It's my fault.

I understand why you

hated me, I hate me.

I was your only friend,

but I didn't know you were real.

I'm so sorry.

It's time to set you free.

Honestly, I still think you guys

could have gotten

a higher number,

but as long as you're happy.

We are, very, thank you.

Okay, then, well, if you've

taken everything you need

and you've tied up

all your loose ends...

Yep, all done.

It's been a real

pleasure, folks.

- You, as well.

- Thank you.

Are you hungry?

Not really.

I just want to get out of here.

Yeah.

We can get something on the way.

Here's to new beginnings.

To new beginnings.
