You have only gotten so far

because I allowed you to.

If you're going to do it, just do it,

and shut up.

After all you've

been through tonight,

did you really think

I would make it that easy?

Yeah.

Why haven't you killed me?

Maybe you can't bear

the thought of living without me.

Maybe no matter what I do...

you just don't want me gone. Hmm?

Maybe I go across the hall

and get your daughter,

make her watch the rest of this.

Does little Maisey know

that her mother is nothing but a used,

discarded whore?

Keep my daughter's name

out of your mouth!

(KICK MISSES)

(CHUCKLES)

Your bastard child

should be honored

that I even know its name,

that I let it live,

in spite of its

traitorous mother!

(GASPING)

(SCREAMING)

No!

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

Frankly, death by my sword

is an honor you don't deserve.

(GASPING)

I would take your heart,

but your betrayal has shown me

that you don't have one.

You stole my life.

I owe you no loyalty.

I f***ing hate you!

(GASPING)

I loved you.

Tough sh*t.

It's infinitely more painful

to remove a tattoo

than it is to receive one.

And the same is true for love.

(GAGS)

You don't have

to go through the pain

of removing your love for me...

so I will take back my tattoo

as a souvenir.

(CHUCKLES)

You branded me like a cow.

Take it.

- (GASPS)

- (YELLS)

Turn over.

I want to look at your eyes

when I kill you.

(GROANS)

(SPITS)

If I die by your hand,

you and Maisey

will never be safe.

(GROANS)

Then die with honor.

Do it yourself.

What happened to honor in love?

(SIGHS)

You'll never know love like I do.

MAISEY:
What are you doing

with Pinky Bear?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Take Pinky Bear.

Take Pinky Bear,

and she'll protect you.

Okay? Yeah?

And promise she's going

to stay with you and you won't lose her?

Promise me.

Okay. Now, I'm going

to be right back.

Don't move.

(DIALS CELL PHONE)

- ANNA:
Hello.

911? Yes, I need help.

There's a little girl...

- (KNOCK ON DOOR)

- Ma'am, I'm going to need you

- to calm down.

- Who is it?

Can you tell me where you are?

- (POUNDING)

- Ma'am, please. Hello?

Ma'am, keep talking.

I'm not hearing you. Are you there?

Ma'am, can you hear me?

Hello, ma'am?

Ma'am?

Ma'am, are you there?

(WIND BLOWING)

Grandma!

(WIND BLOWING)

Grandma!

(FLOOR CREAKS)

(BEAR GIGGLES)

If you're feeling scared,

you close your eyes

and count snowflakes.

- (FLOOR CREAKING)

- One, two...

- It's okay, little girl.

- Three, four,

- five, six...

- Open your eyes.

- Seven, eight...

- Turn around.

Nine, 10...

Turn around!

(GUNSHOT)

EVERLY:
Maisey...

you're safe.

(GASPS)

Maisey.

Come here, honey.

I know I might look scary, but...

I would never do anything to hurt you.

Come sit with me.

It's over.

I know who you are.

You do?

You're my mommy.

I have your picture in my room.

That makes me very happy.

You know what?

I've always had

your picture with me, too.

And now I want you

to have it, okay?

I want you to keep it

and think about me,

my little girl.

Why were you gone

so long, Mommy? I miss you.

I miss you so, so much too.

And...

not one minute went by

where I didn't think about you.

(SNIFFLES)

I had a hole

in my heart right here

every second we were apart.

But today, when I saw you...

ah, Maisey,

you filled my broken heart.

I love you, always.

Always and forever?

Forever and ever.

I love you, Mommy.

(SIRENS BLARING)

Mommy?
