I Will Not Take Care of You (2023)

Post by bunniefuu »

[Bella] But he's doing better?

[doctor speaking indistinctly]

[Bella] I know.

Can you email me the paperwork

[indistinct]?

[woman speaking

indistinctly on phone]

[Bella] Okay.

[woman on phone]

Do you have any other questions?

[Bella] No. Thanks.

[suspenseful music plays]

[lock rattling]

I thought you said

you won't come back here.

Oh, uh, hi, Jennifer.

Family will do that to you,

won't they?

[Bella chuckles]

How are--

[Jennifer] You're so lucky

that I was outside

when he was yelling.

Who knows how long

he could have been out here.

I was gonna stop by

and say thank you, I--

He sure wasn't happy

when I brought him his things.

Is he doing any better?

Thanks for that, too.

Um, yeah, it sounds like it.

You haven't seen him yet?

No, not yet.

Um, thanks again, Jennifer.

[ominous music plays]

[crow cawing]

[woman] Hey!

Hey, I'm so glad

that you're here.

Um, I'll be right back.

Don't start without me, okay?

[chuckles]

[intriguing string music plays]

Olivia, wait up!

Olivia, can you slow down?

So, where exactly

is this time capsule you buried?

[Olivia] Up there.

At the top of the hill.

[April]

And you want to dig it up

in the middle of your brother's

grad party because?

[Olivia] It's just time.

Okay, but why do we have

to do this right now?

I was having fun.

[Olivia] I could tell.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

[eerie mysterious music plays]

[April] Where the hell

is this thing?

[Olivia] The fields

on the other side.

[April] I still can't believe

Josh is graduating from college.

Remember when your mom

used to make us babysit him?

I hated it.

Yeah, she paid us

in quarters and popsicles.

[chuckling] Yeah,

we should have raised our rates

after he tried to kiss me.

It's just-- it's crazy

that he's a real adult now.

What's crazy

is you sleeping with my brother.

Dating. Non-exclusively.

Right.

[suspenseful music plays]

Anyways,

what have you been up to?

I don't think I've seen you

since Summer's going away party.

Uh, did you ever get a job

in, um--

ooh, what was your major again?

Uh, psychology?

We've been friends for what,

two decades,

and you still can't remember

my major?

I don't know. I was busy.

Summer's the one

who studied psychology.

I studied communications.

Right, so you got a job in...

[Olivia] Nursing actually.

Oh, so you went back to school?

Is that why you stopped

answering my texts?

[tense music plays]

Yeah, I guess.



Hey, remember when we snuck out

of Summer's house

to meet up with Adam

and the guys out here?

Oh, wait, you weren't with us.

You went home, right?

I didn't go home. You left me.

[April] Right.

Okay, for the record,

we only ditched you

because we were afraid that

you were gonna tell your mom

that we were drinking.

You were such a prude back then.

[Olivia]

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, you know what I mean.

We went to college together.

[April chuckles]



Have you heard

from Summer recently?

We're not very close anymore.

Same.

I haven't heard from her

in years.

I was starting to wonder

if I'd, like,

offended her or something.

It's pretty hard

to offend Summer.

[April scoffs] True.

I just miss hanging out

with you two, that's all.

What happened to our Thursday

girls' nights anyways?

I believe it conflicted

with some weekly

happy hour of yours,

and we never picked a new date.

Are we here?

[Olivia] Yep. This is it.

Can I help?

You've already helped enough.

[suspenseful music plays]

[metallic scraping]

Is that it?

[suspenseful music plays]

[chest door creaks]

[Summer] Hello?

Hello?

Olivia?

f*ck, someone's in there!

-[Summer] Olivia, is it you?

-Of course it's me.

No one else knows you're here.

[April] Is that...

Is that Summer?

So...

she finally

got with your brother.

You know the rules.

Sorry.

What the f*ck is going on?

Summer?

Summer, Summer, are you--

are you okay?

Are you okay?

We're gonna-- we're gonna

get you help, okay?

[breathing shakily]

It got long, right?

f*ck, um...

there-- there--

there's no signal, um,

do you think

that we can carry her?

I-- I-- I really think

that she needs to go

to the hospital.

[ominous music plays]

She's not going anywhere...

and neither are you.

Olivia, she needs help.

Okay?

We need to get her out of here.

[ominous music intensifies]

You-- you did this.

I had to.

You threw Summer in a hole

in the--

-in the ground...

-It's a chest.

...like a piece of trash and--

and now you're gonna

do the same to me.

[April breathing shakily]

Please don't do this, Olivia.

You're-- you're my best friend.

You-- you can't--

you can't do this!

-[Olivia] Get in the box, April!

-[April] Olivia--

[Olivia] I said get in the box!

-Now!

-Olivia, please.

Please, I don't know--

I don't know what I did

to deserve this, but--

That's the problem!

[crying] Please.

[pants]

[April gasps]

[soft, ominous music plays]

[heavy footsteps approaching]

[keys jingling]

[suspenseful music plays]



[uplifting music plays]

Oscar!

Oscar!

Help, please.

Hi, ma'am.

Have you seen my cat?

[woman] Are you filming me?

Yeah, it's for a documentary.

I lost my cat.

His name is Oscar.

He has gray fur

and a black spot on his head.

-Have you seen him?

-I haven't, I'm sorry.

I hope you find him though.

-[girl] Okay, thank you.

-Sure.

[director] So,

what are we doing here today?

We're looking for my cat, Oscar.

[director] What happened to him?

He ran away.

[director]

How long have you had Oscar?

Since my birthday.

[director] So, about a month?

Mm-hmm. My dad got him for me.



[father]

I'm sure he'll come back

if we wait

just a little while longer.

No, it's already been

all morning.

I have to find him.

[father] Do you have your phone?

Yes.

All right.

[grunts]

Promise you won't go too far?

Promise.

[father] All right.

Now, your mom's gonna be here

to pick you up at 5:00,

all right?

That's three hours.

If you're not back by 4:30

I'm gonna start calling you,

okay?

I will be back with Oscar

before she gets here.

[director] How do you think

Oscar got outside?

Any idea?

No, not really, I--

maybe we left the door open

or something.

It's just too bad.

I know there was

some hesitation

from her mother

about getting her a pet.

How'd she do

with taking care of it?

Pretty well, actually.

She really loves that cat.

Her mother just tends to assume

the worst in everybody.

[uplifting music plays]

Oscar!

Do you see him?

This is gonna take a while.



It's 4:00. Why are you here?

She texted me and said

she's out looking for her cat,

and that I should wait

to pick her up.

-Did you do this?

-Did I do what?

-Tell her to text me that?

-Why would I do that?

We both know

this is not the first time

you've pulled this crap.

She really is out

looking for the cat.

You lost the cat already?

-It's a cat. It got out.

-[mother sighs]

-I told you this was a bad idea.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come back at 5:00.

She'll be ready.

Oscar!

-[phone rings]

-It's Mom.

[director]

You should probably answer it.

[girl] Hmm.

Battery died.

Daddy taught me that.

He only got it for her

to make me look like the bad guy

-because I said no.

-[director] Why did you say no?

Because she's ten,

and I would be the one

who ended up taking care of it,

as I'm sure he was,

and he's allergic to cats.

[director] What do you think

happened to Oscar?

What do I think?

I think he k*lled it.

[director] It's almost 5:00.

We need to be getting back.

But we haven't found him yet.

[director]

Your parents will be upset

if you aren't home in time.

You promised, remember?

I know I did,

but we can try one more house.

[director] So, you got her a cat

even though

you're allergic to them?

-I did.

-[director] Why?

-You a parent?

-[director] No.

No, you're not.

It's not easy.

Divorces.

You do what you can

to make sure that your kid

wants to spend time

with you...

'cause you never know

what she's being told

when she's over there.

But you met her.

You can imagine.



[father]

Just doing the best that I can.

There you are.

Do you know what time it is?

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to keep looking.

-Did your phone die?

-Mm-hmm.

[father] No luck, kiddo?

-Hmm-mm.

-I'm sorry.

-I'm sure he's okay.

-Okay.

Come on, go get your stuff.

We gotta go. Hurry up.

Great parenting.

[melancholic music plays]

[chuckles, clears throat]

Right here?

So, do I-- I-- I look at it,

or do I look-- look--

look at you?

[director]

Y-- you can look at me.

Okay. [clears throat]

[director] How do you know

the Pattersons?

Um, I don't really know them.

Um, we go to--

we go to the same church.

Um, the daughter

come pet the horses before.

[director] When was

the last time you saw him?

Um, it's going on about--

about a week now.

[director]

And what was that about?

Um, he, uh,

he brought me his cat.

Said he was allergic...

to-- to the-- to the cat.

[wood creaking]

[typing]

[drawer slams closed]

[phone vibrating]

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Hi, yeah, that's me.

Shit, I-- I'm--

I must have given you

the wrong card. One moment.

Right.

Did Meredith talk to you

about the estate account?

Right, it should just be

a couple of weeks.

At least that's the plan.

Won't have to worry

about the credit limit.

A-- Again,

I'm so sorry about that.

Thank you.

How-- how is he?

Really? Nothing?

I'll-- I'll bring him

some tomorrow.

Does he need anything else?

Great.

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

I have it right here.

Let me know when you're ready.

Okay. Uh, 470--

[typing]

[priest] Each one must give

as he has decided in his heart,

not reluctantly

or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.

Second Corinthians 9:7.

You shall give to them freely,

and your heart

shall not be grudging

when you give to them

because for this,

the Lord, your God,

will bless you in all your work

and in all that you undertake.

Deuteronomy 15:10.

You need to make a vow.

Get your seed of faith

into the ground

and watch your bounty grow,

for those who provide

for the Lord's house

shall be provided for

in the kingdom of heaven.

-[daughter] Hey, Mom?

-[mom] What?

[daughter] Did he really mean

that the more money

you give to the church,

the better chance you have

of getting into heaven?

[mom chuckles]

That's not what he said, honey.

[daughter]

But that's what he was saying.

[mom] It's not what he meant.

He's new.

He's just trying to help

the church.

[daughter] I don't think

I believe in God.

[mom] What did you just say?

Call Brother David.

[crickets chirping]

So, where do we start,

Brother David?

[Brother David] We start

wherever she wants us to.

We're here for her.

[daughter] This wasn't my idea.

[Brother David]

Well, do you understand

why we're here?

[daughter] Because Mom says

I'm going to hell.

-[mom] I did not say--

-[dad] Honey, don't yell.

[Brother David]

I think your mother

is just worried about you.

She wants to answer

any questions you might have

to get you back

on the right path.

The righteous path.

So, ask away.

Anything

that's got you feeling this way.

[daughter] Okay.

Why would a pastor

have sex with his secretary

if he really believed

it would send him to hell?

-[mom] Where did you hear that?

-[daughter] School.

That's why the new pastor

is here, right?

[mom] We do not talk about

other people's business

-like this!

-[daughter] So, it is true.

[Brother David]

God puts things in our path

to test us.

[daughter]

Okay, well, how about praying?

[Brother David]

Well, what about it?

[daughter] If God is perfect

then isn't it

just a waste of time?

Hasn't he already made up

his mind?

[Brother David] Well, I'm sure

you're familiar with free will,

right?

[daughter] I am, but--

[Brother David]

No, no, it's okay. Keep going.

[daughter]

Is it really free will

if he has a plan for us

and knows what we're gonna do?

[mom] You are not taking this

seriously!

[daughter]

I'm just asking questions

like he told me to.

-[mom] You are--

-[dad] Dear, please.

[Brother David] It-- it's okay.

Let's all just take a second

and calm down.

So, your mom tells me

you believe in evolution?

[daughter] Yeah. I think so.

[Brother David] And why is that?

[daughter] Scientists.

And, like, there's cases

of it still happening and--

[Brother David] What cases?

[daughter] Well,

there are these ants

in the rainforest

that don't need males

to reproduce anymore.

-They evolve--

-[Brother David] Wrong.

[daughter] What?

[Brother David]

That is adaptation,

-not evolution.

-[daughter] But isn't it--

[Brother David]

We all adapt to our environment.

[daughter] Isn't evolution

just a bunch of those though?

[Brother David]

If that were true,

would there still be monkeys?

-[daughter] I don't know.

-[Brother David] Right.

See, scientists

try to undermine religion

because it has the answers

that they hope to find.

[Brother David chuckles]

Oh, don't get down on yourself.

This is good.

This is why we're here.

Please, keep going.

What else has led you

to this unnatural way

of thinking?

[daughter]

Why does God give people cancer?

[Brother David]

He tests us all in our own way.

[daughter] How do you explain

other religions?

[Brother David] Well, they're

all worshiping the same God.

[daughter]

How do they stop the animals

from eating each other

on the ark?

[Brother David] Well,

if he can flood the earth,

don't you think

he could handle that?

[daughter]

Well, where did all the poop go?

[Brother David]

It was thrown overboard.

[daughter]

What happens to people

who grow up

not knowing about him?

[Brother David]

He still loves them.

[daughter]

But do they go to hell?

[Brother David]

Not if they accept him

into their hearts.

[daughter] But that doesn't

make any sense.

They don't know about him.

[Brother David]

They will be judged

at the gates of heaven

like the rest of us,

and a soul who has lived

a holy life will still be saved.

[daughter] So,

I don't necessarily

have to go to church

or have to give the church

a bunch of money to get in.

I can just be a good person.

[Brother David] I think

you're missing the point.

How do you expect

to be a good person

without his teachings?

[daughter groans]

I'm not a damn idiot!

-God!

-[mom] Language!

[daughter]

That's not a bad word!

[dad] Why are we yelling?

[Brother David]

Using the Lord's name in vain

is not going to help.

[neighbor] She must not realize

what eternity is.

[sister]

Am I going to hell now too?

[dad] For the love of God,

do you see what you're doing

to this family?

[mom] Oh, don't you start too!

[Brother David] I'm sorry,

a lifetime of pain and misery

is really nothing to joke about.

[sister]

I wasn't joking! [sobbing]

[neighbor whispers indistinctly]

[dad] You both are this close

to getting grounded.

-[sister] I'm sorry!

-[daughter] Okay!

Fine!

I believe you.

[Brother David]

Let us bow our heads in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

we want to thank you

for this opportunity

here today...

to bring a wayward child

back on the right path.

They may not always know

what to do,

but you will always show them

the way...

[piano music plays]

[eerie ambient music plays]



[eerie thudding plays]

[eerie ambient music

intensifies]

[typing]

[pages rustle]

[upbeat indie music playing]

[Terry] All right. [laughs]

You look nice.

Thank you.

[Terry] So, how was your day?

[Jazz] Eventful.

[Terry] What time

did you wake up?

[Jazz] A little before sunset.

[Terry] Oh, so, you just got up?

I had a long couple of days.

I was really, really tired.

I just-- I was just wondering

'cause, like, you know,

we only hang out at night.

I never get to see you.

You never answer

when I call you.

Why so many questions?

I mean, look, we-- we've

been hanging out more and more,

and I'm just trying

to get to know you more,

you know?

Like, I never see you

during the day,

and it's just-- I just--

I just got questions.

Like, I don't mean

to be this way,

but we've been talking

for a while now,

and I don't know

anything about you.

Things will be revealed

when they need to be.

I get that.

Ooh, Dunkin' Donuts.

You want-- you like donuts?

No.

You don't eat breakfast,

because you're sleep stalled.

That makes sense.

And I-- I didn't mean anything

like that-- like that.

My bad.

-It's okay.

-I know how that sounded.

It's okay.

So, do you wanna grab

something to eat after...

you know, what we will do?

Um, I'm not quite hungry yet.

I plan on eating

in just a little.

[Terry] With me though, right?

I mean,

we did come out here together.

I scooped you,

I said I was gonna do

-this thing for you.

-Yeah, definitely.

Definitely I'm gonna eat.

[Terry] Well, this is it, right?

[Jazz] Yeah, this is it.

[Terry] It's bumpy.

This is not

a good area to be in.

Why are we here again?

[Jazz] Just gotta run in

for one quick second.

-[Terry] I can park here?

-[Jazz] Yeah, that's fine.

It sounds like

you've been here before, so...

Now, we're gonna

wait a minute, okay?

I'll just eat these M&Ms,

you want some?

[Jazz] No.

Not good for you.

So, boys maybe got a new album

or something coming out?

It looks like it.

I really like the last one.

All right.

So, um, what you wanna do?

[beeping]

-What--

-Yes.

[indistinct]

Boy, stop.

I told you

when you picked me up

that I had somewhere to go.

[Terry sighs]

Why you-- you brought me here,

why are you even mad?

How long is it gonna take?

Ten to 15 minutes.

Then, let me come

with you then.

Boy, you don't even smoke.

[clicks tongue, sighs]

Look, you're a nice guy.

I like you just the way you are.

I don't wanna mess that up.

Aw, look at you, you're so cute.

Okay, okay, okay. All right.

Just go do what you gotta do,

so we can just

enjoy our evening.

Mm, I love it

when you talk like that.

-I'll be right back.

-All right.

-What about--

-[door slams]

DJ Red Alert.

What are you doing?

Where's the centerfold at?

They don't do that no more?

[drums instrumental

playing on CD player]

Mm, I hate CDs,

they always be scratched up.

[seat recliner motor whirring]

These ain't nothing,

but some fancy Dunkaroos.

They good, though.

Can't fall asleep here.

This place, not safe.

Is that her?

No.

[phone beeping]

[line ringing]

-Chris.

-[Chris] Yo, what's going on?

Not much, man. How are you?

[Chris] I'm good. I'm good.

The question is,

how you doing?

[sighs] You know,

out with Jazz again.

[Chris] You out with Jazz again?

Um, and how's that going?

Oh, you know, the same.

[Chris laughs]

If it's the same, it's bad.

Yeah, man,

I mean, I keep trying,

but, you know, right now,

I'm sitting in the parking lot

waiting for her to come down.

Waiting where?

I'm at some-- some guy's house.

She wanted to get some weed.

-You know, she's been up--

-[Chris] And how long

have you been waiting?

About an hour?

So, why don't you just go?

-What, just leave her here?

-[Chris] Yeah.

Leave her there, dude,

you've been-- yes!

But where--

How is she gonna get home?

[Chris] Yo, that's

that dude's problem.

Let him worry about that, man.

You need to bounce.

This is crazy.

You don't know where you are,

you don't know who she's with,

she's been up there for an hour,

what do you think they doing?

-You know what? I'm gonna--

-[Chris] Get the-- get--

I'm gonna go--

I'm gonna go up there and look.

I gotta-- I gotta find--

I'm gonna go up and find out.

-I can't-- I don't wanna--

-[Chris] Man, get your ass

-out of there.

-Nah, man.

I'm gonna go,

I-- I'll talk to you later.

[Chris] Yo, go--



[sighs]

I can't believe this.

Every night, she wanna go

do something at night.

She know I got a job,

and now she wanna take me

and go

to some drug dealer's house

knowing I don't smoke weed.

Chris told me to pull off.

I gotta get this

for the peace of my mind.

I'm tired of this.

[ominous instrumental playing]

[muffled conversation]

Jazz.

Jazz?

Jazz?

Are you here?

[indistinct conversation on TV]

Hey, Jazz.

Jazz.

[dramatic instrumental playing]

[choking]

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Damn, shit.

No, no, no, no.

-[phone beeping]

-No, no, no, no.

Chris, pick up.

[busy tone beeping]

Shit.

[muttering indistinctly]

[intense, dramatic

instrumental playing]

I didn't see that.

I just should have pulled off.

I just should have pulled off.

[heart beating]

[Jazz] Look, Terry.

Get out the car.

[mellow jazz music playing]

You weren't supposed

to see that.

[Terry] I guess

you're not hungry anymore.

Drive.

[dramatic drumbeat]

[objects clattering]

[typing]

Can you hear me?

Grace? Hello?

[Grace] I can--

I can hear you now.

-Hey!

-[Grace] Hey. [laughs]

Sorry, the Internet here

isn't great,

so let me know

if I lose you, okay?

[Grace] Yeah, absolutely.

Uh, how are things going so far?

Uh, they're going

as good as they can, I guess.

I have to stop by there later.

Apparently, he didn't pack

a single article of clothing

outside of what he had on.

[Grace laughs]

Why would he do that?

Rebellion, maybe? Hmm.

[Grace] I thought--

didn't he go straight there

from the hospital?

He did, but they had him

call a neighbor

to bring him some things

until he got here.

Get this,

he had her pack a suitcase

full of just random shit,

which sounds

about right for him.

[Grace] Well, I mean,

that should make you feel

a little bit better

about the whole thing.

Yeah, I guess.

They said it's likely

that he could go down again,

and you know

I'm not moving back, so...

[Grace] Yeah. No, I know.

Hey, can you-- can you see this?

[Grace] Hmm, um, what

am I looking at?

I don't know.

I woke up with these.

[Grace] Oh, the red marks?

Is it a rash?

Uh, no, I mean,

it doesn't itch.

It really actually,

doesn't feel like anything.

It was just there this morning.

[Grace] Well, that's weird.

Maybe your pillow's possessed.

[laughing] I don't think

it was the pillow.

[Grace] Um, well, you always

said that place was weird.

And you always told me

I was imagining things.

-[knocking]

-f*ck.

f*ck.

I completely forgot.

I'll text you later?

[Grace] Yeah, sure thing.

-All right. Bye.

-[Grace] I love you.

-I love you.

-[Grace] Bye.

[typing]

[suspenseful

instrumental playing]

[panting]

[dress rips]



[phone vibrating]

[mom] Andie, where are you?

What's going on?

I don't know.

Patrick wants an answer.

Andie, honey, are you there?

Where are you?

I don't understand.

Was there something wrong

with the party?

[Patrick] She's been delaying.

Does that mean she said yes?

[mom] Patrick, shh.

Andie? Andie?

[phone vibrating]

[phone vibrating]

[water splashing]

[melancholic

piano instrumental playing]

[Noah] Andie.

-[Andie] Hey.

-Yeah. Hi. I--

Well, thought I'd find you here.

Sorry, I ruined

your welcome home party.

Ah, come on.

We both know

that today wasn't planned

for that particular event.

So, are you

getting married or not?

Apparently, not.

[Noah] Well, do you love him?

Yes.

-[Noah] But?

-But what?

What's the hesitation?

Come on.

Did-- did something

happen with Leo?

No.

-Okay--

-No, that's not it.

Leo's amazing.

He's so sweet.

He's so clean and organized.

He loves books.

He wants

to adopt a couple of dogs.

I mean, he does the laundry

because he knows

I hate to do it.

And these are problems?

Well, you know,

he doesn't like the Avengers.

-Okay--

-And he hates sand

because he hates the beach.

You know, he always lets me act

or-- or make decisions first,

which you think

would be a good thing,

but it actually gets old.

And he snores.

Okay, so that's the--

those are the deal breakers?

No.

Of course not.

But how many little things

add up to be a deal breaker?

[Noah] Andie, you know--

you know what I noticed?

You wore combat boots

to your engagement party.

[Andie] What?

I wasn't sure it was going to be

an engagement party.

That was for you, military man.

[Noah] Okay. All right.

You did your nails,

put on this dress,

got all fancy, and...

you wore combat boots

to your proposal.

He wore brogues.

So, you're saying

that means something?

[Noah] You're more well-read

than I am, Andie.

I'd say

that's rife with symbolism.

I mean, that's gotta--

gotta mean something to somebody

if you want to read into it.

-They're just shoes, Noah.

-[Noah] Mm-hmm.

I don't know,

maybe it would be easier

if there was something

clearly off with us.

-But he's such a good guy.

-Yeah?

-And I'd be hurting him.

-You are.

-I'm already hurting him.

-Yep.

What if--

what if I'm throwing

everything away,

and I'm running out of time?

[Noah] Out of time

for what, Andie?

You know.

That life.

You'll be destined to be

an old and shriveled maid,

and my friends and

I will ride by your house

after school,

and we'll throw rocks

-at you from our bikes.

-Come on, I'm being serious.

-Andrea, you're being dramatic.

-[Andie gasps]

Look, the question is,

do you want this with Leo?

Being in a relationship,

trapped in one

because you're scared,

is terrible.

It's an even worse reason

to get married.

I mean,

maybe you won't get

that rom-com montage of life

you've been destined to have,

but at the very least...

you got me.

[sentimental

instrumental playing]

Andie?

[echoing] I love you.

This is all gonna be okay, sis.

[melancholic

[music fades]

-[knocking]

-[Bella] One minute!

-Hello, Meredith.

-Bella!

-Come on in.

-You haven't changed a bit.

Neither have you.

Uh, sorry, it's still

a little bit of a mess,

but, um, everything

should be ready by the--

No, no, no. Take your time.

I know that this can be

quite an ordeal,

and selling a house

is a big decision.

Actually,

I can't wait to get rid of it.

Family place like this,

I'm sure it's full of memories.

Your mother

used to adore this place.

Those second thoughts

I'm seeing?

No, I just-- no.

Well, uh, like I said

on the phone,

paperwork is all ready to go,

and we can have it on the market

by the end of the week

if you think

it'll be ready to-- to show.

-Uh, yeah, it should be.

-There's no new issues

that you were unaware of?

Um, mold or leaks

or anything like that?

A home inspector

might see differently,

-but nothing I can tell.

-Good, good.

Um, so I would love

to just take a quick look around

and refresh my memory.

-[Bella] No, of course.

-Right.

[Bella] Let me know

if you need anything.

[footsteps departing]

[sighs] Thanks, Meredith.



[typing]

[soda can opening]

[Nolan] So, as we enter

the wizard's tavern,

we approach

and we see a bartender

serving drinks

to several patrons.

They all kind of look

like unruly fellas.

You know,

not someone you'd exactly want

to have a conversation with,

kind of like,

[raspy voice]

"Hey, bartender, I need a drink,

and I need some information."

[friend 1] Uh,

I will roll to order a drink.

[Adam] Roll to order

a drink, okay.

Um, roll that.

Not all of it.

[Nolan] Nah, I want a big drink.

[adventurous

choral music playing]

[indistinct conversation]

[crosstalk]

[friend 2] Let's see how I do.

Uh, okay, so it's a seven.

[Adam giggling] It's all right.

Fun game, fun campaign.

Yeah, next week.

Next week should be good.

Well, I'll take my ride.

Well, all right.

Uh, missed you, buddy.

Glad you made it.

Good to see you.

Let's do it again soon.

-Will do.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Be good. Bye-bye.

-See you.

[upbeat classical

[microwave beeping]

[man on TV] ...so that I won't

be needing you guys anymore.

[g*nsh*t, ricochet]

Well, I guess we won't be having

rabbit today.

[knocking on door]

[knocking]

[door creaks open]

Hey, man.

Got a package here

with your name on it.

[Adam] Oh, thank you.

Yeah. What is it?

Something cool?

It was really lightweight.

So, I didn't--

I didn't even know

if there was anything in there.

Um...

What-- what is that?

It's a monster.

[Robby] Oh, man.

Um, what do you-- what do you--

what are you supposed--

what are you supposed--

um, what are you supposed

to do with that?

Um...

You-- you paint it,

and then you fight it.

Huh. That's, um--

well, that's neat.

You, um...

paint it,

and fight it by yourself or...

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, oh--

yeah, well, see you later.

Have fun with your toy.

-[Adam] Thanks, Robby.

-[Robby] Yeah.

[dramatic

[virtuosic

[man on TV] Well, you'll be

all right for now, okay?

[reporter] Civil

defense officials--

[phone vibrating]

--told News 9

that m*rder victims

show evidence of having been

partially devoured

by their murderers.

Consistent reports

found witnesses to the effect

that people who acted as though

they were in a kind of trance

were k*lling

and eating their victims,

prompting

authorities to examine

the bodies of some

of the victims.

Medical authorities

in Cumberland have concluded

that in all cases,

the K*llers are eating flesh.

[Meredith] It really

is a beautiful home.

It's a shame

David let the flower beds go.

We used to have so much fun

helping to plant them, remember?

And her garden

was the talk of the town.

Best tomatoes I ever ate.

This is the last time

I'm going to ask, I promise.

But are you sure you don't want

to try to keep it?

I mean, there is plenty of room

in there for the both of you.

Yes, I'm sure.

I know that you've

talked it over with him,

but a lot of people

in their final years

prefer to spend it

someplace that they call home.

-I mean, I know--

-Meredith. Stop.

I sent you

the account information, right?

Yeah, you did.

And I'm not gonna be here

when the house closes.

You're sure

that's not gonna be a problem?

No, we do this all the time.

Great.

I'll tell my dad you said hi.

Please do, it was--

it was really nice

seeing you again, Bella.

Yeah, you too.

[eerie instrumental playing]

[typing]

Red means "on."

Hi, I'm Casey.

If you're watching this,

you probably already know that.

Hi.

If you're watching this,

it means I'm gone.

Not in a sad way.

I guess I owe an explanation

to my family

or whoever cares

about me at this point.

I've been really busy

the last few weeks,

which explains

why you haven't seen me,

uh, or maybe you have.

I canceled my credit card,

changed my phone number,

and-- and social media,

all gone.

I'm leaving.

[melancholic

piano music playing]

I'm tired.

Tired of the people

telling me I'm wrong.

And that there's

something wrong with me.

There isn't.

There's something wrong

with all of you.

I'm sorry

if I'm coming off aggressive.

I'm just sick of being judged.

Of being looked at differently

when I didn't do anything wrong.

[toilet flushing]

I'm starting a new life,

and no one

can tell me otherwise.

Mom...

Dad...

I love you.

I'm sorry

for being such a burden.

And that you worry

so much about me all the time.

But...

please don't come

looking for me.

[door creaking]

[eerie music builds]

[footsteps approaching]

[chair creaking]

I can't stay here anymore.

For the past few years,

I've been seeing this thing...

and nobody believes me.

Doctors tell me to take dr*gs...

and things will get better.

And it works sometimes.

Not-- not all the time,

but sometimes.

And it--

it was good for a while,

but I just couldn't--

couldn't handle

the dread of it.

I-- I couldn't see it,

but I-- I know...

it's here all the time.

Do you see it?

It's right in front of me.



I didn't like that.

Not being able to see.

So I stopped listening

to my therapist...

and you,

whoever is watching.

And this thing

I've been seeing...

God.

It looks just like me.

It looks just like me.

And you're all being fooled.

You're all being

fooled by it.

You post photos of me at parties

I didn't even go to.

And-- and tell me stories

about jokes I didn't tell.

And it's infiltrating

my life.

And no one even notices.

And I'm the crazy one?

Is it naive...

to believe

a girl could start fresh?

I'm sending you this video

as a warning

that if you're watching this

and I'm still around,

it's not me.

It's not Casey

and...

I would stay away.

[typing]

[engine stops]

Hi.

I'm here to see David Stall.

[Paul] Right, you must be...

-Bella, his daughter.

-That's right.

Uh, I'm Paul.

We spoke on the phone.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I really appreciate

all your help.

[Paul] Of course.

Uh, what can I do for you?

Just came by to see him,

and brought him

some of his things.

[Paul] Well, unfortunately,

he is refusing guests

at this time.

Oh, um...

Can you just call him

and tell him it's me, please?

[Paul] He specifically stated

no family members.

I'm his only family member.

-[Paul] Well...

-Can I call him?

[Paul] No, I'm sorry.

I can't.

Can you at least

give him this?

[Paul]

We're not supposed to do that.

I-- It's clothes

and pictures

of his dead dog.

[Paul] If we're-- he's expecting

something we have to...

[Bella] Great. Thanks.

[Paul] ...be notified

in advance,

uh, for deliveries.

[Paul sighs]

You must relinquish

your possession

of the [indistinct]

whence it was pilfered.

Excuse me?

[indistinct] will respond

in kind if the device

is not returned--

[soda can opening]

[man on TV] We'll be right back

after this commercial break.

Could have been a throw blanket,

could have been an Xbox,

and I get this f*cking shit.

[muffled maniacal laughing]

[typing]

[breathing heavily]

Yeah, so, um...

I'm hoping that

you're all going to support me

because this was

a very difficult decision.

But-- Ben--

I should go get him.

[Mara] Look,

if he's not back in five,

I'll go get him.

You want something else?

You barely touched your food.

I also ordered

the veggie broth.

-I don't see it.

-Did they forget it?

Well, you're certainly

not getting my support.

You're committing su1c1de,

you do realize that.

-That's not what this is--

-Mom can speak for herself.

I-- I-- I have a pamphlet

somewhere in my bag.

I-- I'm sure that they gave you

one hell of a pitch,

but I wanna hear

your version of it.

How exactly

does this doctor assist you?

They come over

with a-- a medical cocktail

and-- and monitor you

while you drink it.

-[scoffs] Medical cocktail.

-Here we go.

[Becky] There was another option

to go to Oregon and get shot.

-Get shot?

-Sorry, get a shot.

You know what I mean.

Get a shot, get shot.

It's the same thing.

It's not the same thing.

So basically

your only other option

was to move

to the Pacific Northwest

and get m*rder*d.

Well, it's not very original,

but then again,

you never really were.

Mara...

would you bring me

some cranberry juice, please?

[Becky sighs]

-Ben.

-You're all alone?

Where is everybody?

Mara went

to get me something sweet,

and Daniel's cooling off.

This is a lot for him.

It's a lot for everyone.

Yeah, of course.

I'm just trying to

get my bearings here.

Weren't you

just talking to doctors about

experimental treatments?

Like...

wasn't that happening

just last month?

Well, a lot went down

this last month.

Do you want a straw?

I carry a reusable one.

Thanks. I'll go wash this.

I know I've been

out of the loop,

but I'm here now,

so I can take off work

and stay

the rest of the month.

If this is truly

what you want...

we can make that happen

for you.

-[Daniel] Bullshit!

-Jesus Christ.

I'm not gonna let her do it!

Here's your straw.

I can't be the only one

that thinks this is crazy.

Like, this is actually crazy.

Mom, you are making us

complicit in your death!

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

Are--

are my human emotions too much

for that big

processor brain of yours?

She's not doing it.

God, I cannot believe that

you could just sit there and---

Do you know how many doctors

I talk to every day?

How many medications

I'm keeping track of?

I mean, I feel like I have

hundreds of cancer-related tabs

open on my computer

at any given moment.

-Wait--

-It's a miracle

that I found out about

this option at all.

How could you even tell her

this existed?

What is your problem?

Thank God, it's not just me.

I found out about this

by the many cancer support

groups

that I'm a part of.

People who have watched

their family-- it's--

it's horrifying and I just...

I couldn't--

I got everything

set up with the state,

-and I've got it all--

-There were other options!

I could have called

oncology departments

in every hospital

across the country.

Yeah. Did that already.

Damn it, Mara!

Why are you so insistent

on always doing

everything alone?

[Mara] You think you could

have handled this?

You're barely handling

this conversation!

You couldn't even handle her

drinking out of my straw,

but you had no problem

googling ways to k*ll her.

That is

the most horrible accusation

that you have ever made

against me!

-Mom! Mom!

-Jesus Christ, Mom!

-Oh, my God.

-Everyone listen!

My babies, I love you more

than anything in the world,

but you are going

to agree to this today.

Look at me.

-Look at me.

-[Daniel yelps]

I barely eat, I don't sleep.

This morning.. [chuckling]

I-- I couldn't hear

out of my right ear.

I need to do this

while I can still talk,

while I can still think,

while I can still sign papers!

I am not gonna spend

my last few months on this earth

going in some downward spiral.

This is my death.

My final act, and I intend

to confront it on my own terms.

Now, do you all agree...

to let me go

on my own terms?

Say "yes."

[all] Yes.

Good.

Oh, f*ck.

Oh, my God. Look.

Oh, my God, it's fake.

-What?

-[Daniel] It's fake.

What? No? f*ck!

Of course it's fake.

What do you think?

I'm gonna wave a real g*n around

in my own house?

-Do you think I'm crazy?

-[Ben] Oh, my God!

That was really cruel of you,

Mom.

Plan B.

None of you listened to me.

That was-- that was cruel,

but it was also badass.

[chuckling]

-Shut up!

-Ow! What?

I don't know, man, okay?

She's a vegetarian.

I've never even seen her

use a steak knife

and I-- I thought that you were

gonna--

[laughing hysterically]

[Ben]

Where did you even get this?

-[Mara sobbing]

-Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, sweetheart,

are you okay?

The meal was really good.

You did

a really good job, honey.

A really good job.

[Bella's dad] B...

knowing not where to start,

I ended up here.

With these words,

with more stories.

I guess they're all

we can use to keep going.

You always used to like

my stories, didn't you?

There are so many parts

of myself in them.

Did you notice?

Well, enclosed are the parts

I never told you.

From the angles and edges

you couldn't have seen...

conveyed

in the only way I know how.

Take what you will from these.

Perspective can be powerful.

It's only now in this moment

that I'm so acutely aware

of our mortality.

All I know

is I am nothing but human.

Made so, like you,

by mistakes and decisions.

This, Bella, is my attempt

to understand yours.

Dad.
