Dark Frequency (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[ Water running in sink ]

Angela: I can go out wherever the

hell I want, whenever the hell I want.

Angela: With whoever the hell I want.

ANGELA: Do you hear

me? You don't control me!

RANDY: No one's trying

to control you, Angela.

But this isn't fair to me. And

more importantly it isn't fair to Mary.

When was the last time you

even spent any time with her?

When's the last time

you spent time with her?

This morning. Before I went to work.

Oh, wow. 15-20 minutes?

That's real quality time.

That's more than you do. And you

don't have a job, so what's your excuse?

You asked me to stay home with her!

You don't get to throw that in my face!

I asked you to stay at home

to take care of our daughter.

Not to sit around all day drinking

and going out with your friends.

What I do is my business.

I think you need to leave, Angela.

Oh. You want me to leave?

[ Ominous music ]

Put the knife down.

MARY: Dad?

Go lock yourself in your

room and call the police.

You want the police out here? You

remember who they arrested last time.

Randy: Angela!

Angela: Don't... move.

Don't take another step.

You don't get to do this to me. You

begged me for her. You asked me for her.

You remember that?!

Angela, put the knife down, now.

No! You should've let me get

rid of her when I wanted to.

Then we wouldn't be here, now.

You want her? Then you can have her.

Don't come after me. Otherwise

I promise you I will finish this!

Mom, why?

Don't ever call me that again.

[ Mary crying ]

[ Ominous music continues ]

[ Water running in sink ]

[ Grunting in pain ]

[ Knocking ] Mary.

[ Knocking ] Randy:

Mary? You in the shower?

We need to talk. Okay?

Mary? Mary!

[ Randy slamming into

door ] Randy: Mary! Mary!

[ Door slams open ]

Mary? Oh, no. Mary. Oh, no.

Mary!

"Grenades" by Serafina

[ moody pop music ]

"Stare out my window"

"Smoke in my eyes"

"Where does my wind blow?"

"I will decide."

"Said I will decide."

"Said I will decide."

"And you stand on the moon

while I'm lost out in space."

"And you enjoy the pain

while I numb it away."

"Nothing makes you afraid.

Don't know that I'm so brave."

"But there's no one to blame so

I'd best not be throwin' grenades."

You guys in lockdown?

CARISSA: The other girls are on a

day trip. They'll be back around 7.

I thought Mary might want to get acclimated

to the space before she met everyone.

That is a little less awkward.

You can leave your bags here for

now, I'll need to check them, anyway.

But let me show you your

room and give you a tour.

"Baby, look at the table."

"Tell me what do you bring?"

Mary: Let me guess, this is my bed?

Carissa: That is correct. Although

today you're on arm's length.

So you'll be out in the living room

for the night with one of the staff.

What's arm's length, again?

You have to be within arm's length,

more or less, of staff at all times.

Except in the bathroom. And then

you have to keep the door open a crack.

And sing, hum, make

noise. [ Pensive music ]

It's a... it's a safety

precaution. Mary: Great.

And if all goes well you'll move to

Level 1 and you'll be in here with Colette.

She's a bit of a character but she's

really helpful with the other young ladies.

Carissa: So, you're with her for a reason.

Let me show you the rest of the house.

[ Emotional music ]

Guess I can't run away, now.

You didn't see the broken glass

spread around out there? Or the moat?

You know I think this is

the best thing for you, right?

Yeah. And for your job.

You don't have to worry about

keeping an eye on me, now.

That's not fair. Mary: It's true.

Would you rather be in a hospital?

I'd rather be at home. With my Dad.

And you will be. Soon. I'm...

Randy: I'm going to be ready to...

Randy: To be everything you

need me to be when this is over.

Randy: That's a promise.

I love you, baby.

I'm sorry.

For everything.

[ Emotional music ]

Marco.

Polo.

Carissa: Marco.

Would you rather sing Happy Birthday?

Polo.

And... Marco.

[ Toilet flushes loudly ]

The first day or two you

might feel like a prisoner, but...

Carissa: It's just policy

to feel you out. Make

sure you're not a threat

to yourself or anyone else.

It gets better.

Can we take a walk?

Just around the grounds?

I really shouldn't do that

without more staff here.

You have my shoes. And you would

catch me if I tried to run, anyway.

I like walking, but I'm not a runner.

Well...

If you get away from me without

your shoes, I deserve to be fired.

Carissa: Let's go.

[ Ominous, ambient drone ]

[ Ominous, ambient drone fades out ]

[ Mysterious, hopeful music ]

COLETTE: Hey Carissa,

is this my new roommate?

Carissa: Yes.

Hi, Colette. I'm Mary. Hey Mary.

Carissa: I'll introduce you to

everyone once they're in and seated.

Colette: And I'll give you the real

rundown of everything tomorrow.

AURORA: Why are you in here? We in trouble?

Carissa: What? OLIVIA:

Obviously, we have a new kid.

Aurora: I have eyes, thanks,

but that doesn't mean that-

KRISTIN: You probably are in

trouble. But that's not why she's in here.

Alright ladies, I'd like

everyone to say hello to Mary.

Colette: Hey Mary. Everyone else: Hi Mary.

Hi.

We all bring different

personalities, unique perspectives.

Lots of different backgrounds and

goals. But... we're all here to heal.

Carissa: To learn skills to help

us to navigate this messy world-

Carissa: - and the messy emotions we bring

into it. And the best way to do that is-

Is together.

Yes.

Carissa: And Mary's a part of our group

now, so let's all make her feel welcome.

Okay?

[ Something bangs on window, shuffles ]

[ Suspenseful, eerie music ]

[ loud bang on door ]

[ Bang on door ]

TARA: [laughs] It's... bats.

Tara: They do that sometimes when

the motion lights aren't on outside.

[ Wings fluttering, bats chittering ]

[ Door closes and locks ]

The motion lights work that well, huh?

They do but only on

bigger creatures like, uh...

One of you trying to escape. Or bears.

Bears?

You won't see any, don't worry.

Tara: They wander

around late at night. That's

why we have to be careful with the garbage.

Good to know. Thanks.

Tara. Right?

Yep. You're welcome.

Where's the other lady?

Jill? Uh, asleep in Carissa's office.

Tara: Unlike me, she can't

sleep during the day so...

She needs it.

What do you do all night?

Read. Work on reports.

Read. [ Laughs ]

Tara: Although... even though...

everyone's supposed to

be asleep after light's out.

I'm here to talk if I'm needed.

Me too. If you get tired of reading.

[ Mellow music ]

EMMA: "Say what you want and

I'll promise I'll believe it's true."

Emma: "Take me back to

where my heart was able."

New girl. Leave your basket

and I'll take care of it next.

That's against the rules.

Colette might be your roommate but

on laundry day she's ruthless, trust me.

Thank you but I'm...

I'm kind of weird about other

people touching my dirty clothes.

Okay. Whatever.

Maybe just... could you tell

me when the washer's done?

If I see you, sure.

You have a great voice, by the way.

[ Thoughtful music ]

Hurry up.

Hey, thanks for-Emma: Are you serious?

You really couldn't wait

for me to get down here?

What?

After I tried to be nice to you,

you throw my clothes on the floor.

I swear, I didn't. I haven't even

been back, I was in the bathroom.

Oh yeah, because someone

else just put your clothes

in the dryer and didn't

load theirs into the washer?

[ Pensive music ] You think I'm that dumb?

[ Pleasant, hopeful music ]

[ Talking, muffled ]

[ Muffled talking ]

[ Excited scream, muffled talking ]

[ Baby goats bleeting ]

[ Baby goats bleeting,

Emma mocking and laughing ]

[ Muffled talking, horse snorts ]

[ Ethereal, peaceful music ]

[ Door opens and closes in distance ]

You're taking a risk.

I know. But that's one rule

that shouldn't apply to everyone.

Colette: If you can be neat, you should

be allowed to have drinks in your room.

You doing alright?

I guess. I just need to get

used to everything. Everyone.

You've only been here a week. Give it two.

Colette: Maybe three. You'll get there.

I almost feel like I need therapy

from being here. Sometimes.

I know what you mean.

But what you do with this experience will

make all the difference when you get home.

Colette: It could be worse.

Um. Before this I was in a psych unit.

At a hospital. And.

This is like a 5 star

resort compared to that.

How'd you end up in there?

Um, one of my best friends, um...

Had serious mental health issues.

Colette: And I tried to

talk her out of it but...

She k*lled herself. Um.

Right on the phone.

Sorry.

I had trouble coping after that, and...

A few months after she died...

Um. I almost k*lled myself.

Colette: They sent me to a hospital first.

There was no freedom there. Like,

at all. And the staff was just nasty.

Um, thank God my

sister got me out of there.

Colette: Then, I was at a wilderness

camp for a while which was...

Colette: Interesting.

Colette: And... This is my last stop.

Hopefully.

Colette: I know it's um...

tough, sometimes, but...

Oh.

Sorry. They um, they

really care about you here.

They really want what's best for

you, so... try to keep that in mind.

I will.

Colette.

[ Somber music ]

Seriously?

[ Tense music ]

[ Static, radio interference ]

Angela: You should've let me

get rid of her when I wanted to.

Then, we wouldn't be here, now.

Mom, no!

Whoah.

I'm sorry. Emma: You're sleepwalking.

They usually tell us when

there's a sleepwalker.

I - I'm not. I, I don't.

Yes, you do. This isn't the first

time I've seen you wandering at night.

Go back to bed.

[ Suspenseful buildup music and fade out ]

Kristin: Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.

Kristin: Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

Okay. Get some water

and take five. Great job girls.

[ High pitched noise ] Colette:

Can I run to the bathroom?

Kristin: Yeah, go ahead.

I'll be right back.

[ High pitched noise slowly fades out ]

Don't listen to them.

What? To who? The voices.

Cut it out, Aurora.

I don't hear voices.

I hope not. That's

how it started with Kylie.

Who's Kylie? She stayed

here about six months ago.

Aurora was doing her first round

back then and I was just starting.

First round? Don't make it sound bad, Liv.

After Kylie k*lled herself

my parents signed me out.

And they sent you back, after

all. What does that say about you?

Aurora: That you shouldn't mess with me.

Kristin: Hands to yourselves, girls.

Kylie k*lled herself, here?

Sort of. They kicked her out after

she attacked one of the other girls.

She ran away from home that

night and then k*lled herself.

Out there, somewhere.

We don't know that for sure.

I was here.

Aurora: The cops and

an ambulance were out by

the road. When my parents

came they had to wait.

They saw her body being taken out.

Yeah, right. You think

because you're here for

the second time and you

happened to know her-

that you're unique or interesting?

Well, we can't all be as interesting as

you. My Daddy didn't like me like that.

[ Aurora grunts, Emma shrieks ]

Kristin: Stop it, right now! Emma:

Don't you ever touch me again!

Aurora: You should've

said that to him, not me.

Emma: You're dead! You're dead!

Stop that! Get back in the house, now!

What I miss?

Olivia: The usual.

Kristin: Get Mary, please.

[ Suspenseful music ]

You okay?

Yeah.

We're going inside, now. Okay.

What the hell are we doing, now?

Aurora, you must enjoy being on Level 2.

I'm Level 3.

The day's not over.

If I go down, Emma better-Emma:

You started it out there, you-

You're doing this in front of me. Really?

Okay. So these are your power masks.

What are we, eight? [ Inspiring music ]

Eight year olds know

better than to talk out of turn.

Carissa: So, sometimes we

need to step outside of ourselves.

In order to have a different perspective.

As you've been learning.

But also, some of us are

uncomfortable in our own skin.

We lack confidence.

We don't like to be front and center, we

don't like to draw attention to ourselves.

Kristin: And there's nothing

wrong with that necessarily.

But when it prevents us from standing

up for ourselves or speaking out...

Carissa: Then, it can be a problem.

So instead of actually

hiding, as we sometimes do...

Carissa: We can create a healthy alter ego.

Carissa: A mask that reminds

ourselves and those around us...

Carissa: of what makes us

great. What makes us unique.

So, with this.

Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday after group.

Carissa: You're going to be

working on your own power masks.

Carissa: Design them however you

want. There's plenty of materials to use.

Use words. Use colors. Use pictures.

Carissa: Anything you want

to represent who you are.

Carissa: We'll be doing

a couple layers so...

Carissa: Take your time

with it and have fun. Okay?

Okay. Come up to the island

and take what you want.

But share.

Everyone gets to spend ten

minutes with each magazine.

[ Peaceful music fades out ]

This is kind of lame.

Kind of. But it'll be fun. [ Laughs ]

DEMONIC VOICE: Mary.

JILL: Are you okay, Mary?

Yeah, I was just dreaming.

I wasn't loud was I?

No, I'm just doing a head count.

Was your dream something

you want to talk about?

No, I still am just getting used

to being out here. But thanks.

Okay. You should go

back to sleep, it's almost 3.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Okay. Just don't be long.

[ loud static, distant hum ]

[ Eerie music, distant voices ]

[ Music and voices fade out ]

[ Suspenseful music ]

[ Knock at door ]

Jill: Mary?

Jill: Say something.

Yes.

You were washing your

hands for a long time.

Then you didn't respond.

I'm sorry, I must've fallen asleep.

It's fine, but... are you okay?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

She looks like she could go

for some ice cream right now.

I'm still a Level 1.

That's a Level 3 privilege.

At this time of night, you're

whatever level we say you are.

[ Hopeful, emotional music ]

[ Suspenseful music ]

[ Mellow music ]

Good morning. Mary: Morning.

Who was in the bathroom, last?

New girl. Why?

The sink was a mess and

the toilet wasn't flushed.

I didn't even use the

bathroom, I just brushed-

Emma: I don't know what you did at home.

But you've been here long

enough to know the rules by

now. You don't leave messes

for other people to clean up.

GARDYN: Alright, Emma.

GARDYN: If that happened

you can come talk to

one of us or speak to

Mary about it privately.

I was already running late this morning

when I had to take

extra time out of my way-

to clean up after her.

There was hair all over the sink.

Colette: Hey, get off her back!

Kristin: That's enough. You can discuss

it later in a group. The proper way.

Fine.

Just don't do it again.

And I better earn points.

[ Scoffs ] For what? Being a brat?

Aurora: Because you had to sweep

a little hair off the sink? Grow up.

[ Emma spits, Olivia gasps ]

Olivia: What is wrong with you guys?

Gardyn: Hey! [ High-pitched noise ]

Gardyn: Hey! [ Grunts, Colette yelps ]

Kristin: Sit down, now! Or

you will be OIC. Right now!

[ High-pitched noise ]

[ Mary hyperventilating ]

[ Knock at door ]

Mary. Can I come in, please?

M-hm.

Tara: Here. I'm going to put

this in your hand. Hold on tight.

Focus on how it feels on your skin.

Tara: Focus on the cold.

How can I focus on anything else?

[ Breathing steadies ]

That worked. Tara: Yeah.

It provides a shock to the system and

gives you something tangible to focus on.

Why are you still here?

I was on my way out when

I heard what was going on.

I told Kristin I'd check in on you.

Thank you.

That's what I'm here for.

[ Knock at door ]

Thank you, Tara.

Mary, I'm taking the girls on

a walk after breakfast. Okay?

Shouldn't we give her a few more

minutes? I don't mind sticking around.

It's in 15 minutes and I've

got some things to address, so...

Carissa: Most of you have

been here long enough to know

that we have certain ways

of dealing with conflict.

And that there are other ways that are

completely unacceptable

like violence or yelling.

I'm sorry.

I know you are. And that's why I

don't want to assign any consequences.

Carissa: Not even after what just happened.

I'd rather we just...

[ high-pitched noise ]

Carissa: Move on and promise to do better.

Carissa: What are you

doing? Aurora: She pushed me.

Colette: Hey, it was an accident.

Olivia: She tripped, genius.

You watch it. I'm getting tired of you

thinking you're better than the rest of us.

The rest? No, just you. [ Colette laughs ]

Olivia: As long as you've been here,

you should've gone home months ago.

But that's not happening now, is it?

What the hell did you say?

You heard me. No one

even-Carissa: Hey, girls!

[ High-pitched noise,

voices ] Aurora: Really, Olivia

can just talk to me like

that? Emma can spit on me?

And I'm the one that gets in trouble?

You know what? I'm done with this.

Colette: Mary, wait! Carissa: Girls, stop.

[ Energetic hip hop music ]

Hey! Colette: I'm going after Mary!

Uh. Okay.

Olivia: Do you want me to go after Emma?

Carissa: No, just go back to the house.

Carissa: Tell them that she's headed west.

Okay.

[ laughs ]

Aurora!

Carissa: Aurora! Leave me alone.

Stop!

Wait!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

DRIVER: You okay, Miss? Yes.

Can you give me a ride to

the nearest gas station, please?

And, do you have a phone?

DRIVER: Yeah. Yeah, hop in the back.

Driver: Just don't mind my daughter.

[ Calming music ]

Sup?

SHANIA: Hey.

Thank God.

Gardyn (on phone): Hey booo.

What? How?

My husband and daughter

were coming to drop off lunch.

Gardyn: I told them to keep

an eye out for you on their way.

Hey, you're lucky we got

to you before the bears did.

Very lucky.

Couldn't you just run me over?

[ laughs ]

[ Screams ]

I can't outrun you but you're

not making me go back.

That's fine. But wherever

you go, I'm coming.

You've got other girls you

can actually help, okay?

Spend your time on

them, don't waste it on me.

It's not a waste.

Kristin told me that you

brought up Kylie earlier.

I do not want something

like that happening to you.

Why? Because you get less money

if we don't finish your program?

Aurora. Do you enjoy

making people feel bad?

Carissa: Is that why you'd

say something like that to me?

Or why you'd bring up her

past to a victim of terrible abuse?

Like it's something that

she should be ashamed of?

I know it's not right.

So like I said, let me go.

Carissa: No.

You can be whatever you want

to be as a person. This isn't it.

You know that.

I do. But... I haven't

changed all this time.

What's the point? [ Emotional music ]

You just can't see what I've seen.

Carissa: Or your parents.

Carissa: Slow and steady wins the race.

And I mean... sometimes you run backwards.

[ Both laugh ] Carissa: But...

But you are making progress. And

I'll be here every step of the way.

All of us will.

I'm not ready to go back.

Then, we won't go back.

Not yet.

[ Emotional music fades out]Mary?

Mary?

[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]

It happened here.

This is where Kylie k*lled herself.

Colette: Do you hear something like static?

Yes.

We need to get back, now, okay?

[ Throws up ]

What's wrong?

I don't - I don't feel

well all of a sudden.

Mary: We getting in trouble?

Colette: Us? No. The others - definitely.

[ Calming, hopeful music ]

[ Typing on keyboard ]

[ Rhythmic knocking on door ]

Hey, what's up Colette?

Um, nothing. Kristin said I could

have my phone for free time.

Sure. [ Clears throat ]

Thank you. Carissa: M-hm.

[ Ominous, ambient music ]

'One of our exercises this week was

to create something to depict emotions.

'Mine was fear.

'I started out drawing a door. The one

my brother would come to every night.

'But then I saw something behind the door.

'The same thing I've seen in

my dreams since I came here.

'I hear it when I leave the sink

running too long or when the heat is on.'

It's the statue.

Again?

I really can't be sneaking

you in for ice cream again, yet.

But... do you want anything?

Tara: Do you need to talk?

Okay.

Let us know if you change your

mind. We're here. You know that.

The attic is in the basement

under the flower outside the window.

What?

[ Dark, ambient music ]

[ Car horn blares, tires screeching ]

[ Turn signal clicking ]

[ Eerie, unsettling music ]

[Mary screams ]

[Mary crying and hyperventilating ]

Olivia: Mary?

Mary, what's going on?

Tara: What's wrong, Mary? Breathe. Breathe.

Get back to your rooms, girls.

Jill: What happened?

Fill up a bucket with ice water. Now!

Do you need help?

Tara: Yeah, grab her arm.

Everyone else back to your rooms.

Hold it steady. [ Mary crying ]

Deep breath, Mary. Deep breath.

[ Mary screaming under water ]

Tara: Up.

Tara: Deep breath, Mary. And, hold

it. [ Mary crying, gasping for air ]

Okay.

Tara: In through the nose.

Out through the mouth.

Just breathe. Okay?

You couldn't have just

started with the ice pack?

[ Sinister, ambient music ]

Cole. Your roommate just spazzed

out and woke the entire house.

You really just slept through that?

Classic.

[ Music fades out ]

[ Spits ] Can I help you?

Just making sure you're not picking

up any bad habits from your roommate.

Okay, Emma.

Bye. Emma: Wait.

Did you sneak something in?

What do you mean?

Mary was screaming her head off

last night and you slept right through it.

I was tired.

I tried to wake you, I shook you.

Okay. Your point?

If you're taking something I want in.

[ Sighs ] Just my tea before I go to bed.

Colette: You're welcome

to try some if you want.

Maybe I will.

[ Haunting, menacing music ]

[ Voices ]

[ Knocking ]

Hey.

How're you feeling this morning?

Fine. A little tired but

that's not a surprise.

No, it's not.

If you need to take a

nap today, just ask Kristin.

Jill: Carissa will let you lay down

in her office if you really need it.

And, I'd say you qualify after last night.

Thank you.

See you later, Mary.

[ Ominous, haunting music ]

Hey, Jill.

Yes?

I uh... [ pensive music ]

I probably kept you

up last night, too. Just...

Be careful getting home. I

hope you don't drive too far.

Goodnight, Jill. Jill: Good morning, Rory.

It's a half an hour drive but

trust me last night was nothing.

Jill: Imagine going out into the woods

looking for a runaway at 3 in the morning.

I appreciate the concern, though.

Seeya.

Carissa: Gardyn, could I...

can I talk to you for a second?

Yes, ma'am.

[ Haunting, somber music ]

What?

Um.

I need a minute. Carissa: That's fine.

Um...

Carissa: I'm really, really sorry

to have to tell you girls this, but...

Jill passed away this morning

on her way home from work.

What happened?

She might've fallen asleep at

the wheel. Police aren't sure, yet.

I'm going to be sick, I'm sorry.

Carissa: We'll probably finish the masks

before group therapy tonight, but if...

Carissa: If anyone wants to talk

or needs time to process this, just...

Let one of us know, okay?

Are you going to be okay, Carissa?

I'm going to go make sure Mary's okay.

[ Somber, haunting music ]

Well, that sucks.

Was she here when you came the first time?

Yep. I've been here the

longest out of anyone, so...

I mean, we weren't best friends

or anything but... I liked her.

She cared about us.

And she never got tired of my crap.

I'm sorry.

Did you just have a feeling last night?

Or was there something more?

Mostly just a feeling.

Mostly?

Did your panic attack

have anything to do with it?

Well, if you have a feeling

about me let me know.

Like, right away.

I will.

And, Mary.

Be careful.

And don't... Don't shut people out.

If something's going on... talk to someone.

What do you mean?

A lot of the girls I've seen here have

had panic attacks but Kylie's were...

Aurora: Different.

She'd freak out like she was

seeing something, ya know?

And I don't believe in

any of that stuff but...

When she was around it was like

something else was here with us.

Aurora: And it's felt like that

the last couple nights, too.

So - so just... be careful.

I'd rather not see that

happen to someone else.

[ Music fades out ]

Gardyn: I just can't believe she's gone.

I just saw her.

You should go home.

I can't do that.

Yes, you can.

I need to set an example for the girls.

Gardyn: They can't leave. Neither can I.

You need to take care of yourself so

that you can take better care of them.

You know that. Go home, it's fine.

Thank you.

And Gardyn. Text me

when you get home, okay?

Hey, Colette. What's up?

Is someone, uh, coming to

take over Jill's overnight shift?

No, I'm staying.

You're working a double. After today?

Carissa: Wouldn't be

the first time. I'll manage.

Alright, um. Well.

If you need help, I - I've got your back.

Colette: I'm sure Olivia

would say the same thing.

I appreciate that.

[ Unsettling, creepy music ]

[ Static ]

[ Static ]

[ Static grows louder ]

[ Fingers snapping ]

[ Music fades out ]

Angela: I know you're awake, Mary.

[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]

You're not real. You're not really here.

Are you sure about that?

What do you want?

I just can't move on from you.

I try to forget you. And it

just doesn't seem to work.

Why not? Dad didn't even

ask you for child support.

You know how much he

struggles because of you?

Angela: I haven't

talked to him since I left.

So, no.

And I don't care.

He chose you.

I know. And you didn't. You have

to remind me of that every time?

And I'm reminded of you

every time I look in the mirror.

I can't get rid of you

no matter how hard I try.

Not in here.

And you can't get rid of me, either.

Angela: You're still suffering.

We both are.

But I can make that stop right now.

[ Mary grunting in pain ]

[ Static ]

[ Ambient, mysterious music ]

[ Fingers snapping ]

[ Water running in sink ]

[ Water stops, knock at the door ]

Mary. Are you okay?

No.

Can I come in, please?

You can't tell anyone. Not yet.

Tell anyone what?

Mary: I keep seeing

Angela. And something else.

That thing from the woods.

It stopped when you hurt yourself.

That worked for me.

For a while.

[ Static ]

[ Suspenseful music ]

[ Branches snapping ]

Naveah: I can't take it. I can't

take it, anymore. Please, I'm sorry.

Naveah: If I don't do this,

people are going to die.

[ Somber reflective music ]

Colette: Naveah, stay where you

are. I'm going to call for help, okay?

NAVEAH: It's too late.

What? What do you mean?

I'm not home, Cole. Okay?

My parents are going to find me.

Where are you? Tell me?

The overpass by... Route 18.

By... Exit 8.

Naveah, what are you going to do?

I'm just protecting you and my family.

From what?

[ Tires screeching ]

Cole?

I love you.

[ Somber, dramatic music ]

[ Truck horn blares, car crash ]

[ Somber music ]

[ Static, high-pitched sound ]

[ Static, high-pitched sound stops ]

[ Distorted, eerie music ]

[ High pitched sound returns, gets louder ]

[ High pitched sound muffled, then stops ]

[ Static, high pitched sounds ]

[ Sounds muffled, then stop ]

[ Ambient, mysterious music ]

[ Radio shatters ]

[ Somber music ]

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Carissa: I do think that we

would be a great fit for Rachel.

Carissa: But, right now we

can't take on additional clients.

I'm lower on staff than I'd like.

Carissa: We do have applicants

but processing would take some time.

I can send you some recommendations.

Embark over on Clearfield

would be one choice.

I know the director there personally.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm really sorry.

Carissa: I'll keep you

on file and when we're

ready I'll reach out to

see if you still need us.

I hate to turn anyone away but right

now I'm not sure we could help her.

Am I wrong?

We were close to being

understaffed before we lost Jill, so...

Tara: I would've taken

the meeting anyway, but...

It's not all about business, is it?

No, it's not.

Uh, Kristin's already in so feel

free to take off whenever you want.

You're fine doing group?

Yeah, it was pretty quiet last

night. All things considered.

Thank God for that.

[ Ominous music ]

[ Knock at door ]

Hey. You okay?

Yeah. I just... [ melancholy music ]

I don't know. Drained after yesterday.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Aurora: Um, speaking of yesterday.

After... Seeing how fast things can happen.

Aurora: I don't want the last thing I said

to you to be something nasty like that.

So... I'm sorry.

I might still talk smack, but...

I'll never say anything

like that again. Okay?

[ Hoarse ] Okay.

[ Clears throat, laughs ]

I'd give you a hug if

I felt like getting up.

Yeah, go to hell.

How'd you sleep?

Did you really bring that tea from home?

Emma: Is that how you

smuggled in some melly?

Or do you have something else here?

I got it from the store. And

I didn't put anything in it.

Liar. I've never slept

through the night, once.

Do you think someone's

slipping something into your tea?

I mean we just lost Jill. Maybe

I was overemotional and just...

Whatever.

Yeah. Whatever.

Colette: Hey, Carissa.

Colette: Um. I - I need

to show you something.

Um. Can you ask Kristin or Tara?

Um. Nah - I'm sorry,

I - I only trust you.Um.

Please, it'll only take a second.

What's going on?

Ah, I'll show you.

[ Crickets ]

How do you know about this spot?

When Mary ran I found her here.

There was...

There was a statue. And

a radio here last night.

Last night?

I heard something. Like

static. Like - like a hum.

Colette: And I heard it before, so.

Last night, I-You snuck out of the house.

Something is going on with Mary. Okay?

I'm worried about you right now.

You don't want to know

who was playing loud, creepy

music in the woods in

the middle of the night?

Colette: Right where

Kylie k*lled herself. Her

initials are carved on

that tree, right there.

Colette: Naveah Pryor is there,

too. She k*lled herself a year ago.

After leaving here.

And she drew this.

[ambient, dramatic music

I It's a picture of a statue.

And when Mary and I were here, we

saw a statue that looked exactly like it.

How did you get this?

She was my friend.

[ Suspenseful music ]

Carissa: So. You said you trust me.

Why not Kristin? Or Tara?

I trust Kristin.

Colette: But Tara was

up all night with Mary,

last night. That's how

I was able to sneak out.

And, where were you? Carissa: Um.

In my office. Probably asleep.

I slept through Mary's

panic attack the other night.

Colette: After drinking my tea.

Colette: I skipped it last night

and I woke up with no problem.

What are you saying?

Did you drink something last

night that you left unattended?

Uh. Let's not get crazy

here. I worked a double shift.

And Tara...

Tara's been working nights

ever since she got here.

Colette: Ever since Naveah was here.

And Kylie.

Naveah was your friend.

Carissa: Is it a coincidence

that you ended up here?

Or that despite great behavior you aways

seem to miss out on your treatment goals-

when it counts the most?

If it's not a coincidence.

And... Colette: I did get here on purpose.

Then I probably do need

help. Don't you think? Hm.

Colette: Oh. Hey, Tara.

You know there are

cameras on the grounds, right?

Tara: If I access the footage from

last night, will I see you sneaking out-

to destroy and steal someone's property?

Maybe. Would it see

you putting it out there?

I'm allowed to go outside

at night. You're not.

Where is it?

The radio was yours?

Is there a reason you'd be

playing weird, creepy music...

In the woods? In the middle of the night?

Ambient music has been

used in therapy for years.

Ever heard of brown noise?

[ laughs ] That's your story? Cute.

[ laughs ] You...

are on arm's length

for the next two days.

Tara: I'll say it was

for being disrespectful.

Fill in the details if you want.

Make sure to give Kristin your phone.

Tara: That privilege has been revoked.

[ Crickets playing on radio ]

[ Mouths 'What?' ]

[ Static, high-pitched sounds ]

[ High-pitched wail ]

[ High-pitched wails,

Carissa breathing in distress ]

[ Static, high pitched wails ]

[ Carissa breathing heavy ]

[ Noises stop ]

[ Eerie music ]

You're in early.

So are you. Everything okay?

Yeah, I was just checking in

to see how the girls were doing.

Tara: The phone rang

so I came in to answer it.

Who was it?

I didn't reach it in time.

I'm going to step out for dinner

but I'll be back for my shift.

Unless you need me now? Carissa: No.

Go get your dinner, I'll see you soon.

You holding up okay?

Yeah.

Listening to that CD you

gave me a while back.

Carissa: That really helped on the way in.

Glad it helped.

See you later.

[ Pensive music ]

Carissa: All the initials

match up with the names of

former clients who k*lled

themselves after they left.

Carissa: All but one of them were dismissed

early either for violent behavior.

Or because we felt we weren't a good fit.

What about the other one?

Carissa: Layla actually met her

treatment goals but... same thing.

Carissa: Within a couple

days, she was gone.

Carissa: I remember her. She...

She must've gamed the system.

No one noticed this and...

thought it was weird, before now?

Most of the girls who

come here are either a

danger to themselves

or others to begin with.

Carissa: We don't really keep

track if someone leaves early.

I pray for all of them, believe me. But

I have to focus on who's in front of me.

What do you think is happening?

I don't know.

Carissa: But if you

think Mary's in danger I'll

have the day staff keep a close eye on her.

You, too.

Randy: Hello? Everything okay?

Yeah, I...

I think one of my employees

mistook Mary's phone for hers.

It happens sometimes. Do you

have Find my Phone or Life360? Or?

Randy: Yeah. No problem.

Thank you.

Randy: She hasn't moved for ten minutes.

Randy: If you stay on

56, you should run into her.

Carissa: Thank you. I'll call

you back if I have any problems.

[ Dark, suspenseful music ]

Emma: That turned out pretty neat.

Thanks.

Kinda boring compared to yours.

Well, you're kinda boring compared to me.

Maybe if you tried it on, you'd

pick up some of my personality.

I'd rather k*ll myself.

Burn. I like it.

What's with all the body parts?

What do you think?

I know you're a good

singer. Are you a dancer, too?

I did ballet when I was younger.

Emma: And contemporary

and hip hop until a year ago.

Emma: I want to get back into it.

It's hard to overthink when

you're too focused on the footwork.

I know it sounds stupid,

but Mary; No it doesn't.

Enough about me. What's with this?

The foil is like a metal face?

A strong face.

Basically.

Emma: You played lacrosse. And...

You're proud of your teeth?

I like to make people laugh.

Yeah, okay.

Emma: You really couldn't find the

words? Or you just being annoying?

When I go home. [ Tender, emotional music ]

And to get home I'll

have to rebuild myself.

Mary: Piece by piece. To believe

all those things about myself.

If that makes sense.

That's deep.

Okay.

[ Emma laughs ] Mary:

I know I look really silly.

[ Emma and Mary talk,

dramatic music on Television ]

[ Mary and Emma talking, muffled ]

[ Reflective, ominous music ]

What are you doing, Colette?

I'm on arm's length, remember?

There's no need for that

after lights out. Not for you.

Go keep Mary company. Tara:

Since when does arm's length have limits?

Since we lost Jill. And I didn't approve

of her being on it in the first place.

Tara: You questioning my

judgment? Carissa: No. I let it stand-

until now. She's not a risk.

She snuck out of the house.

Good. Whatever was on

that CD, it wasn't healthy

and it shouldn't have

been out there to begin with.

That justifies her breaking the rules?

Maybe not. But you're the residential

counselor, I'm the residential manager.

Do you want to keep debating this?

[ Peaceful music ]

I'll be doing bed checks, tonight.

Get some sleep.

Carissa: Hey.

Oh. Hey. What time is it?

You still have a half hour left to sleep. I

just wanted to say happy

birthday before I left.

Thank you. Um, why are you leaving?

I didn't sleep at all last night, I

just need a good five or six hours.

Then I'll meet you and

your aunt at the diner.

Carissa: And then I'll

take you on one of my

favorite hiking trails

before we come back here.

Sounds good. Thanks, Carissa.

You bet.

Alistair: You want to

suspend Tara right now after

losing your only other

dedicated night staff?

She was hiding the

phone behind her back, sir.

Alistair: Okay. And what

was she doing with it?

I don't know. Does it matter?

Alistair: Yes. Did you ask her?

I was planning to when I suspended her.

Alistair: Yeah, that's

not happening. Not now.

Alistair: What she did

deserves a write-up at most.

Alistair: I mean, unless you can

prove something ill*gal went on.

Alistair: Is there something

more to it you ain't telling me?

I followed her when she

took Mary's phone. And...

Alistair: Unless you want to

incriminate yourself, I'd stop right there.

Alistair: Look, just write

her up, focus on getting

more applications and

just keep things running.

Alistair: Understand?

Carissa: Yes, sir. Thank you.

[ Pensive music ]

Tara: They'll be there around 3:30.

Yep.

Thank you.

Oasis Girls & Kristin:

"Happy birthday to you"

"Happy birthday to you"

"Happy birthday dear Colette!"

"Happy birthday to you!"

Carissa: Why didn't you open it, yet?

She told me to wait until

tonight. It's a surprise.

Mmm... You're not smuggling in

anything you shouldn't be, now are you?

Colette: Maybe. [ Both snort ]

Did you get any sleep Carissa: Barely.

But I need to. If I can't get Tara fired-

then I need to make sure

that I'm there when she is.

Yes, you do. Hey, I did some research.

Okay.

So, you know how listening

to that CD made you feel?

Mm. If it was the CD. It

could've just been the long hours.

Colette: Low frequencies can

create fear, discomfort, dizziness.

Blurred vision and hyperventilation.

Sometimes inducing panic attacks.

Interesting. Colette: The lowest sounds

we can hear start at about, like, 20 hertz.

Below that is a range called 'infrasound'.

Colette: And it can be produced

in music and sometimes...

Through other things.

Like static. Like white noise.

And... and we can't hear them?

No, but there are theories that

our minds can fill in the void.

Like, you can't hear it.

Colette: But your body reacts. So.

Maybe your mind reacts, too,

and fills in the sounds for you.

Colette: And um, of course

people think that it opens portals.

To like... demons.

[ Tense music ]

Deep Voice: There are two

expl*sives on the school grounds.

And a sn*per waiting

outside who will blow the

brains out of any student

you try to evacuate.

Call the police if you want. But

do not let any kid step outside-

until I call back with

further instructions.

[ Distant splash ]

[ Tense music continues ]

Olivia: I really hope

that you all stay in touch.

Even if we weren't the best of friends I

genuinely hope that if you need help...

And you need to come back here. Like Rory.

Olivia: In a year or two

I'll probably be an RC here.

[ Phone buzzing ]

One second, girls.

Kristin: Gardyn, is everything okay?

Gardyn: Kristin, I'm so sorry.

I cannot make it in right now.

Gardyn: Apparently, there's been

a b*mb threat at Shania's school.

What? Gardyn: I don't know,

they're not telling anybody anything.

Gardyn: One of my friends works there

and she said it was a b*mb threat. And.

They're apparently not even letting anybody

near the building but

I'm on my way right now.

I'm so sorry. But I'm sure the

police are doing everything they can.

Don't worry about it. I'll get you covered.

Gardyn: Alright, thank

you, Kristin. [ Phone beeps ]

Just keep me posted, okay?

Gardyn: Okay.

[ Suspenseful music ]

Colette: Isn't this a pedestrian trail?

Sure is. I've got the

license plate. Okay, Karen.

Carissa: What?

He could hurt someone.

I know but it's still kind of

lame to call and report him.

You know what? If you're

going to use a pejorative

term to describe someone

doing the right thing...

Then you're the problem. Do better.

[ Colette laughs ]

Colette: So, did you

bring me all the way out

here just to tell me that I have to leave?

No.

You are potentially taking

a spot from someone else.

Normal capacity is 7 or 8 depending

on the severity of the cases.

I looked it up.

That's correct.

Carissa: And you told us that

your best friend k*lled herself.

Not that you listened to her die.

That's a lot to handle.

It is why I came here. More

or less. [ Slow, somber music ]

We'll adjust your treatment, and...

Carissa: You just have

to promise me that you'll

be 100 percent honest

with me going forward.

I will. I - I promise. Um.

And I'm sorry I didn't say

anything earlier, it's just...

I had to know. And you would've never

let me in if I had told you everything.

We all make unhealthy choices sometimes.

As you've been learning

our flaws and hurts...

Can be adjusted into

our greatest strengths.

Carissa: And whether I like it

or not... I think you've done that.

Thank you.

[ Static and voices ]

No.

No.

No. [Static and voices fade out ]

[ Moody music ]

I had a feeling you weren't

coming back outside.

I've been able to tune it out, but.

It's louder now than it has been.

We can stop it for good.

Or. You can.

How?

Colette: I always like, you know,

want to recycle but it's just like, so...

[ suspenseful music ]

What's wrong?

There's a guy. Like, he's watching us.

Just - don't look, okay?

Colette: He's behind that tree.

I think it's the guy from earlier.

I think I know another way

around. Let's get off this trail.

Yeah.

Tara: Keep breathing steadily.

Tara: I'm going to count to ten.

Don't count with me

just... focus on my voice.

One. [ Snaps fingers ]

Two. [ Snaps fingers ]

Three. [ Snaps fingers ]

Four. [ Snaps fingers ]

Five. [ Snaps fingers ]

Six. [ Snaps fingers ]

Seven. [ Snaps fingers ]

Eight. [ Snaps fingers ]

Nine. Ten. Eleven. [ Snaps

fingers ] [ sinister, ambient music ]

Twelve. Thirteen. [ Snaps fingers ]

I thought you were counting to ten.

Tara: I stopped at seven. Don't look at it.

Don't look at what?

Tara: Don't look. Find yourself.

Tara: And see where she takes you.

[ High pitched wail, demonic roaring ]

[ Mary panicked breathing ]

Tara: You're okay. You're okay.

You're okay. Mary: It came

when I tried to... you know.

[ Mary catching her breath ]

What the hell?

Tara: For you to get to the place

you were mentally that night. And.

Tara: Considering what Angela was doing.

There were already

negative energies at work.

In the Torah. The - Hebrew bible.

After Cain kills his brother.

Yahweh tells him...

The voice of your brother's blood

cries out to Me from the ground.

Tara: In uh... sacrifice rituals.

Blood is often spilled

on the earth as well.

Tara: Blood has a voice in a

frequency the human ear can't detect.

But other beings can.

When I... Tried to k*ll

myself, is that how I...

Invited this... thing?

It heard my blood?

Yes.

I believe it was there influencing Angela.

And your circumstances

to push you to do it.

Tara: And when you did it latched onto you.

Tara: Through the sound of your blood.

Tara: There's a phenomenon.

Uh... Auditory pareidolia.

Where the brain interprets

random monotonous sounds...

As voices. Some believe that

spirits can use that noise...

To communicate. And manifest.

How do we stop it?

There are temporary solutions.

But it'll never go away for good unless...

You talk to it.

Tara: In its own language.

How do I do that?

Is he in the car?

I can't tell.

If we hear anything in

the woods or behind us...

Then we'll make a run

for it. Colette: If we don't?

Then we wait.

Colette: I have to pee.

[ Colette humming ]

That reminds me of that um... meme? Like.

Colette: 'Would you rather be alone

in the woods with a bear or a man?'

Um, we wouldn't have been able

to hide from a bear - so a man.

Good choice.

Ow. Ow. Ugh, can we? Shh.

I'm getting a leg cramp.

Shh.

[ Ominous music ]

[ Engine starts ]

We'll be okay. We're okay.

Colette: They're in lockdown?

Looks like it.

Carissa: Wait here. Let

me see what the situation is.

Dark pop song

"I want you to love me"

"I want you to hurt me"

"I want you to save me"

[ suspenseful music ]

What happened? What's going on?

Mary came at me with a crowbar.

I - I don't know what happened, I-

Tara: I locked her in a room

and called the police, but...

I need you to wait here.

No, I - have you seen Carissa?

No, I - I'll look for

her, you just stay here.

No, I have to - I have to

find Carissa. I have to help-

No, we're in lockdown.

That means that you have-

I don't care what that means!

Mary?

Colette: Carissa!

Carissa, wake up!

Colette: Carissa!

Carissa, please.

[ Tense, dramatic music ]

ALEX: If you won't go to the hospital

like I strongly recommend, then...

I would at least say to check

in with your PC in the morning.

Noted.

And if you experience any more

of the symptoms we talked about...

Call for an ambulance or get a

ride to the hospital right away.

I'll do that. Thank you.

Alright. Take care of yourself, ma'am.

You too.

Officer. LIANNA: Yes ma'am?

Any word from the security

company about the cameras?

Yes, unfortunately there was a

disruption in the Wi-Fi service-

Lianna: -about an hour before the incident.

It's back now but there's no

video during that time frame.

What are they doing with Mary?

You shouldn't worry about that right now.

She was in our care for

the last two weeks, Officer.

Her father's picking her

up from the police station.

Neither you or Tara are pressing charges

so I don't think we will be, either.

Lianna: But, don't quote me on that okay?

[ Subtle, emotional music ]

Colette: I'm afraid I'll

hurt you if I hug you

but I was so scared. I

thought you were gone. I-

I really thought you were dead.

I don't know what I would

do without you, Carissa.

Aurora: Is she okay?

Tara: Yeah, I'd say to

come by after breakfast.

Tara: Give her a little

time with the girls, first.

They had a - hell of a night. Ya know?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be here.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

ALISTAIR: You know, this really sucks.

I know how close you are to these

girls and you do a great job, but...

I can't do nothing.

You know we have two openings. Two.

And you turn away another qualified

applicant. And you send her away.

And her mother - to - to our competition?

She needs help. That's my job.

Carissa: Until we can hire and things calm

down around here - it's not the right fit.

Carissa: But I wasn't going

to send her away, without-

No, your job is to help people... here.

Alistair: This is not a

referral service. Is it?

The other day we had

a girl run away at night.

And yet you take her out for

her birthday two days later?

Carissa: She didn't run away.

Alistair: She left the

premises without permission.

That could've turned out really bad.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I know you are.

Alistair: And I also know

that everything you do...

Alistair: You do because it's

what you think is best for the girls.

Alistair: I'm not going to

punish you for your intentions.

But the potential

outcomes... that's different.

You're suspended for a week. Without pay.

Look. Why don't you just...

Go away for a couple days. Take a breather.

Come back. Make better choices.

You got someone to

cover my responsibilities?

I think so. You know, between Kristin-

Alistair: Tara. And one

of the directors from

one of our satellites - we should be okay.

Anything more than that...

without you... might break us.

[ Emotional music ]

Olivia: It's kind of like

you're missing my graduation.

I know. But honestly...

Watching you grow the last six months

has been enough of a reward for me.

I owe most of it to you.

That's not true, though.

The RC's, the therapists...

They all put in more

time and work than I did.

Yeah, but you set the tone here.

And that made a huge difference.

And it's evident in us. So thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll write you. Carissa: You better.

And I expect an application sooner or

later. You know we could use the help here.

Olivia: Count on it. And hey, thanks

to you I'm getting some extra practice.

Olivia: Yep. I'm covering

some shifts at Leighman

tonight because the

director's going to be here.

Make me proud.

I'll try. [ Carissa laughs ]

You can hold down the fort here, right?

I will. As long as you back me up.

Of course.

Don't let anything happen to Mary, okay?

I won't.

[ Somber music ] Randy: You need

to come over and eat something.

Randy: Baby, I'm trying to help you.

I've been trying.

Now you are. Took you long enough.

I deserve that.

I've made a lot of mistakes.

I haven't done right by you.

But... we have to move forward.

Moving forward means sending

me to some wilderness camp in Utah?

Where I'll be able to see you once a month?

When the only other

alternative is a psych hospital...

Randy: Yes, I'd say so.

I was doing fine there,

except... Except what?

If I tell you, you'll just

put me in a hospital.

Or on drugs. Nevermind.

Mary, that's not what I

want. I want you to get better.

Then let me go back to Oasis.

That's up to them. And...

They called for me to pick you

up. And they recommended...

Utah.

I'm not hungry right now.

[ Doorbell ]

I'll be back.

Randy: Look, I appreciate

you taking Mary in.

Trust me, I do, but... she was

never violent before she went there.

Now, she's seeing things.

Blanking out. Attacking people.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.

You should be. You can see yourself out.

Listen.

Carissa: We've helped so

many young women like Mary.

In fact we had one who came

to us after getting off drugs.

And being abused in terrible ways

and she's graduating in a few days.

I can't take credit but

our team, thank God...

We've changed girls' lives.

I don't doubt any of

that. And good for you.

But, I'm concerned with my daughter.

And not a single thing has

improved since she's been there.

That's not true.

[ Gentle, emotional music ]

Carissa.

I don't know what happened. I

swear, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Mary: I would never do something like that.

I know. You don't have to convince me.

I came here to check on you.

Mary: I learned so much while I

was there. I know it wasn't long, but...

I started coping with my

panic attacks. I had one

while we were home and I

was able to stop it by myself.

That's so awesome. I'm really proud of you.

Carissa: We're going

to figure this out, okay?

So then, why... what the hell happened?

I don't know, Mr. Wilson. No one does.

The security cameras weren't

working at the time, so...

Carissa: The truth isn't out

yet but I am going to find out.

And... Mary.

Carissa: Whatever

happened... I don't blame you.

Please stay strong. And...

Carissa: I will do what I can to get

you back there. If your Dad allows it.

And... in the meantime.

The girls signed this for you this morning.

Carissa: And, um.

Carissa: There's some of

your worksheets in here and...

Carissa: Also I threw in

some new activities and... um...

Carissa: If...

Carissa: If you can

disassociate it from whatever

happened last night - because

you worked so hard on it.

Your power mask is in here, too.

Um... Mary.

You are beautiful.

And... you're so strong.

Carissa: You can survive anything

that life throws at you. Alright?

And more than that -

you're going to thrive.

Just stay the course, okay?

Thank you, Carissa.

You're so welcome.

Uh, could you give us a minute?

I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but...

One of your workers came

by to apologize for everything.

She said some things about the

way you were running the house that...

Even at the time, I

wasn't sure I believed in.

Randy: I definitely don't, now.

Maybe, uh...

Make sure everyone who's working

there is playing for the same team.

If you know what I mean?

Voice on TV: We don't really

have any other family around.

2nd voice on TV: I'm sure she

appreciates that. [ Moody music ]

Thank you, baby.

We shouldn't stay up

too late, alright? Okay.

[ Voices on TV ]

[ Somber, dramatic music ]

[ Suspenseful, moody music ]

[ Static from phone, snapping fingers ]

Randy?

Mary?

Angie: You want me to leave? Really?

Put the knife down.

Tara: This is your chance. Stop

her and you erase this trauma.

Tara: You win your mind back.

You want the police out here? You

remember who they arrested last time.

No, don't get up.

Don't take another step.

Angela, put the knife down, now.

You think you can stop

me before she's dead?

Tara: You control the way it ends this

time. The way you process your trauma.

[ Shuffling on bed ]

Mary?

No.

Mary is going to k*ll Carissa.

And most likely her father, tonight.

Why Carissa? Why her Dad?

They've always just...

k*lled themselves, before.

Because of you bringing things

to light, Carissa knows too much.

Tara: Have to tie up the loose ends, and...

Mr. Wilson, well... [ chuckles ]

Just makes more sense for her to have

a psychotic break and slaughter everyone.

Don't get any ideas.

You try to run, this gets worse for

you. And you're not getting past me.

I'll scream.

Go ahead.

Loose ends, remember?

I don't want to have to k*ll you.

I've always avoided that. Too messy.

What happens to me?

Most likely...

You'll go back to another

psychiatric hospital.

Tara: But for a lot longer

than two weeks, this time.

You attacked me. That's how I got

these injuries, I was defending myself.

Tara: Ideally, I just

disarm you and get away.

Worst case... I have to hurt you.

To save myself.

[ Distressed breathing ]

Tara: I'll give you credit for

figuring out as much as you did.

I'm impressed.

Why are you doing this?

Tell me.

Tara: When I almost died before...

Coming to a place like this.

I felt... Something.

Tara: As I was slipping away.

Some would call it a presence.

Watching me.

Tara: Waiting for me to go all the way.

It's the only time in my

life I felt like I existed.

I haven't been able to feel

like that ever since except...

By connecting with

these... Weak. Pathetic girls.

Tara: And forcing them to k*ll themselves.

What is that?

A camera. My aunt gave

it to me for my birthday.

Which, you didn't say,

by the way. [ Laughs ]

Colette: It's going to

my family and my friends.

You thought you had it

all figured out, didn't you?

Gotcha.

Clever.

[ Intense, electronic music ]

[ Colette screams ]

Don't. Please.

Thank you.

Aurora: Hey. Hey, you okay?

As tough as you are, I

really had to come save you?

Go screw yourself, Emma.

Your nose. I'm okay.

[ Dramatic, resilient music ]

Colette?

What time is it, Mary?

What?

Look at the clock on the wall to your left.

Angela: Tell me what time it is.

Wh-what are you doing?

It was dinner time when this happened.

It's 12:34 at night.

What are you waiting for?

Focus on the clock, Mary.

sh**t her.

Past Mary: Now.

Mary: Carissa? Is this some kind of trick?

No. It's me.

Whatever Tara did to you, she's

making you see things. And...

She got into your head.

She was trying to help me.

Carissa: No. No, she wasn't. But I am.

Please, put down the g*n.
