like a contract between them.

That's why I wanted to see

your mother's paintings

to check for his likeness.

- All right I've heard enough.

The only person poisoning

people's minds here is you.

Now get out of my house.

- No, dad, it's true.

- No honey, he's manipulating...

- Look, look, he's

disappearing from the drawing.

- He's heard everything we said.

He's trying to come through.

Quick we've gotta burn these.

- Are you crazy

- what are you doing?

- - No, no, dad let him.

Are you okay?

Mr. Toth.

- Leah, stay away from him.

- He's coming into my blood.

- Get your hands off of her.

- You're gonna wish you killed

yourself.

- Dad.

- Come on, come on.

- No.

- Come on, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

- I can't. I can't.

You go.

- Not without you.

My studio we can go to my

studio.

- Where are we?

- It's my story.

He brought us inside my story.

I'm so sorry this has

nothing to do with you.

- Well, we're not gonna

give up without a fight.

- Your mother's soul tasted so

sweet.

You know your mother

was a great artist.

I had to work on her for years.

It took me time breaking

her down but finally

I got her.

- No.

- And now I've got you.

- You bastard.

- Paint this.

Still wanna play?

- Mark.

Mark, no.

- Now, bachelor number two.

- Toby,

Toby.

Toby, are you okay?

- Leah.

- Get off.

- You know what you have to do

finish your story end it

or they die.

- No, Leah, no, don't do it.

- Don't listen to him.

No one's gonna miss

someone as pathetic as you.

Take your life

or I'll take theirs.

- You win.

- No, Leah.

- Let them go.

- Finish the drawing

and I'll sign off on the ending.

- Leah, don't do it.

You're stronger than him.

You don't have to.

- Shut up.

- How's this?

Sign off on this jackass.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I think so.

- Wow, Leah, you were

incredible.

- So.

- It's phenomenal.

And I knew you had it in you,

angel.

- Thanks dad.

- I didn't

but I'm glad I was wrong.

Who knew you could be so bad

ass.

- Well, you know, me but...

- Take it you're ready to go to

school?

- Uh, actually the guys

are gonna give me a lift.

and your band in action.

- Yeah, that'd be

that'd be awesome.

- Okay.

- You know I think I needed to

do this.

I think I needed to write about

mom and what happened after.

angel.
