Repentance Page #5

---

beautiful for you?

I can't make it beautiful for me

if you're not there.

Please, I can't...

- I can't make it perfect unless you're there.

- Angel. Angel. Angel.

It doesn't work like that. I need you.

- Angel.

- I need you.

I'll call you later, okay?

I love you.

Hello?

Hey, if you can hear me, call the police.

Hello!

Hey. What are you doing?

Daddy! Listen, listen,

there's monsters in the drain.

You ready to go?

Come on.

Thank you. Let's go.

If you can hear me, call the police.

Your mama was an amazing woman.

I'm so sorry.

You know, Sophie, I'm sorry.

I just need a little space, okay?

I just need a little space. I'm sorry.

You need to take your pills, baby.

Take your pills.

Some space.

So, this is where you work?

Yeah. Beats living in the streets.

What's happening?

Have you talked to Tommy?

No, I ain't talked to him.

I haven't heard from him.

I've been calling him.

This isn't like him.

His editor doesn't even know where he is.

You know, Tommy made his own bed, sis.

He got to lay in it.

Why do you hate him?

What, you thought it was gonna be roses?

You thought I was gonna be happy

'cause you and him was together?

Look, Maggie, you see me in here

working these little odd jobs.

I'm trying to do the right thing.

I'm trying to show you

that I can play in the same lane.

Why? I love Tommy. I love him.

And when I find him,

I'm gonna tell him I love him.

Why don't you just kill me?

Certain actions bring upon oneself

certain inevitable reactions.

You're not misinterpreting my book.

You're just bat sh*t crazy.

You ever heard of

a man named Antnio Egas Moniz?

He won the Nobel prize.

Over. For a procedure that cured the brain.

Lobotomy.

Angel, you can't do this.

Sophie, everybody's gonna be heartbroken.

You'll never ever see your daughter again.

Is that what you want?

You know.

"It's better to light a candle

than curse the darkness."

"It's better to light a candle

than to curse the darkness."

Why did you write that quote?

A psychic quoted to you a line I said

and because of that it's my fault?

I've never even seen your mother.

You're lying.

I'm telling the truth.

My near death experience

was a car accident.

I swear. Ask my brother. He was there.

No!

It can't be true. It's not true.

I don't even know what

the bayou looks like.

- You're lying.

- Look at me.

- I'm not lying to you.

- No.

I know the pain you must be feeling,

but no matter how much you torture me,

it won't bring her back.

Her death is the effect and you are cause.

It has to be.

Let me help you.

Untie me. You got the wrong guy.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Stay calm. Stay calm. Stay calm.

"Don't look back."

What's that supposed to mean?

Do you do one-on-one sessions?

If you change your mind,

I could pay your fee.

No! The signs all pointed to you!

You're seeing connection

where there is only coincidence.

There is no such thing as coincidence.

That's in your book.

You wrote it in your book.

Angel, you don't believe that.

In my heart, I believe that you're guilty.

You're guilty.

That weight, it just rots you to the bone.

It's a cancer.

And that is why I'm being haunted.

I'm sorry for what I'm about to do.

You gave me no choice.

Angel. Angel.

Wait.

Thank you. I'll see you next week.

- Okay. Bye.

- Bye.

Olly olly oxen free, you can't find me.

Franny.

Franny.

Franny, I don't have time for this.

I can't play with you right now. Okay?

Olly olly oxen free, you can't find me.

Franny.

I need you to come out. Come out right now.

Franny. Franny. Come out right now.

I don't have time for this.

Franny!

You can't find me.

Gotcha!

You know what? I almost didn't find you.

You're getting too good for me.

I was gonna hide in the basement,

but it was locked.

Well, you know, you promised that

you'd stay up there till I came to get you.

- You remember that, right?

- I did. I just came down to surprise you.

Yeah, you surprised me.

All right, Franny.

Stay in here and get some rest, okay.

Maggie's here.

She's upstairs.

Ben's here.

It's Tommy. Leave a message.

Yo, bro, I'm here at this place

you told me to come to.

They got boards

all over the f***ing windows.

Call me back.

I'm going to stick around for a few.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me.

Help.

Help me.

Maggie?

Baby.

Are you okay?

What did he do to you?

Don't worry. Almost done.

You still got some fight in you huh?

I wanted to bring Tommy's family here

because you share the same blood as him.

And as you know there is not too much

a family can't accomplish together.

Even telling the truth.

Right now, what are you thinking?

This is about me, right?

I'm not talking to you, Tommy.

I'm talking to her.

I'm talking to her.

Do you love him?

Yes, very much.

Do you believe in the things he says?

Things that he teaches?

Is he an honest man? That's the question.

Yes. He's a very honest man.

You know, here's the thing.

You are all about to die.

That's a fact. That's going to happen.

The question is

do you want to die with regrets?

Ben, is there something you want to share

with the group before you die?

You don't know what the f***

I've done for you.

You f***ed my life up, man.

I'm always covering for your ass.

I'm always looking out for Tommy's ass

ever since we was kids.

We was both tanked that night.

We was both drunk as f***.

Hey, hey, hey.

Stop putting your hands up.

Wait. Wait. Look here.

This is a bridge.

God damn.

What the f***, man.

Damn.

Man.

Come on, man. Wake up, bro.

Tommy, we hit somebody.

Damn. Come on.

Tommy.

Sh*t.

Come on, man.

Just stay right there, bro.

My mother died in agony.

That's what you're telling me?

Angel, I am so sorry.

No, you're not. You're still holding back.

- That's right.

- You're holding back.

There's more to that story.

I heard her voice.

I was so scared.

Help me.

Help me.

Ben.

Where are you going?

The weeks went by

and they never found her.

And it was history.

Tommy?

Tommy, baby, tell me that's not true.

Tell me.

I knew...

Knew I was right.

I'm so sorry.

One sound, you die.

Daddy?

I'm almost done in there.

Okay?

Come on.

Let's go.

How'd you get out?

I opened the door, silly.

Yeah, but I locked the door.

Come on, tell me,

how'd you get out of there?

Grandma.

What do you mean?

Grandma unlocked the door.

She says, "Wipe the trouble out

"and let the beauty in."

She says if I did this to you,

you'll calm down, Daddy.

And then she said goodbye.

She did?

Yes.

I love you so much.

Why don't you practice

your piano for me. Okay?

Only one hour, then I'll be back.

All right?

Okay.

You're letting us go?

He's free now.

Tommy?

We're already dead.

What the f***, bro?

We're spiritually dead.

Tommy?

What you doing, man?

Don't do anything crazy, bro.
