You sound like

a f***ing robot.

- She's got you programmed.

- Just stop it.

Wait. You gotta

believe me.

Why can't you believe me?

What do you want me to believe?

I'm confused.

You've never

seen her before today.

No, Alice. Don't

f*** around with me.

Think hard.

Where'd ya meet?

- Up here, on a movie.

- What movie?

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

You'd remember

what she was working on.

No, I just can't think.

You're stressing me out.

Think hard about being with her early on.

Think hard.

- No, I can't think.

- Think hard.

You're stressing

me out.

Think hard about being with her, early on.

Think hard about it.

Be strong.

Where'd you meet?

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

Feels like a weird dream.

What does?

- What does?

- Everything right now.

What's happening?

I'm still trying

to figure everything out.

Doesn't matter.

Everything's fine.

We're here together.

She's trying

to take you away.

They want you.

We're supposed to

tell each other everything.

Always supposed to

tell each other everything.

- Promise me again.

- Promise.

- Say it again.

- Promise.

- Promise you won't leave me.

- I promise.

She's not one of us.

- ETHAN:
She's not one of us.

- We'll be together forever.

We'll be together forever.

She needs to leave.

She needs to leave.

There you are.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Did you tell

Alice dinner's ready?

Of course.

- Sit next to me.

- Right.

MISTY:
Wow.

You look beautiful.

None for me, thanks.

- You don't drink?

- Not right now.

I quit smoking, too. I don't

like the taste anymore.

MISTY:
What? Are you pregnant?

Are you?

I wanted to keep it a secret.

We're supposed to

tell each other everything?

- What else are you hiding?

- Nothing.

- What else are you hiding?

- Nothing!

That explains everything.

That's why

you've been acting so strange.

ALICE:
Don't say that.

- That's why you're confused.

- Don't you do that.

You feel strange, too.

I know you do.

Don't tell me

how I f***ing feel.

You know what

I'm talking about.

- Don't you dare f***ing bring this...

- Ethan!

Hey. Hey.

What's going on?

Look at me. Stop this.

Don't go, Ethan.

- What's happening?

- ALICE:
Don't look at her.

- Ethan!

- Stay. Stay with me.

- Hey. Look at me.

- Stop this!

- No.

- Ethan.

Let her go.

She's my sister.

You need to let her go.

Ethan. What's happening?

- We met down the street, right?

- What?

We met down

the street, right?

- I don't understand.

- Just tell me.

- I was making a movie.

- You were making a movie.

And then you moved in.

So, then you

walked across the street.

- Yeah.

- To say hello.

Yeah.

- Right?

- Yeah.

That's right.

Why'd you pick me?

- Pick you?

- Yeah, why me?

Because I was drawn to you.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Everything is

confusing right now.

It's not confusing.

You're allowing

this to be confusing.

You just stop letting her

get in your head.

You told me before

that this happens.

It's okay.

It's okay because

I'm here now.

You're okay because

I'm here now.

I don't f***ing need him.

I don't f***ing need him.

I don't need him.

I don't f***ing need him.

She can take him.

She can take him.

We don't f***ing need it.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(BOTH MOANING)

- What?

- Nothing.

(MISTY MOANING)

Do it, Ethan.

Do it.

Do it.

- Do that.

- Do that?

- Like that?

- MISTY:
Yeah.

Do it.

Yeah.

(MOANING)

Like that?

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

Ethan.

(MISTY CHOKING)

(PANTING)

(DOOR OPENS)

(CONTINUES PANTING)

(ALICE GASPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY) Ethan.

ETHAN:
What have we done?

ETHAN:
They'll take her away?

ALICE:
Yes.

They'll take her away.

Oh, sh*t. I forgot.

ALICE:
What is it?

ETHAN:
It wasn't real.

It's okay.

It doesn't matter.

I don't think she ever

walked into the ocean.

I think she just wanted

you out of her life forever.

Oh, yeah?

Is that what you think?

- So, where'd she go?

- I don't know.

Ethan, she came here

because she knew.

They took her

to a better place.

Then why don't you

go with her, huh?

So I can be alone.

Okay.
