Herman (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

There's a darkness here.

Haunting me.

Changing me.

I'm scared

of what I might become.

[wood chop]

[wood chop]

[man groans]

[ghostly whisper]

Alice.

No! Ooh! Ah!

It calls to me.

It's always worse

when it storms.

[distant thunder]

[footsteps]

[branch crack]

[animal squeal]

[distant thunder]

[loud thunder crack]

One more warm night.

One more good meal.

It's lonely out here.

Searching for a God

I never believed in.

She always wished I did.

It's been 40 long years

since it took her from me.

I wish I could see

her one last time.

The real her.

Not this evil trick.

But that's a fairy tale.

My reality is the darkness.

The torment.

That sound.

And I can't take it anymore.

I need to end it

before it's too late.

There's only one way out.

God have mercy on me.

[soft music plays from

a record player]

It had to be you

I know, sweetie.

I don't forget a thing like that

You're the only one

who ever understood me.

The only one

who didn | t try to make me

feel like some kind of a...

I don't know

what I'd do without you.

For nobody else

gave me a thrill

You're quite the chef.

Had to be you

-Wonderful you

-Wonderful you

-It had to be you

-It had to be you

What do you mean?

I don't know what else

I can do for you.

I don't know how else

to be there for you.

What else do you want from me?

I am not jealous.

At least I'm trying not to be.

Just overthinking is all.

When the righteous cry for help,

The Lord hears and delivers them

out of all their troubles.

The Lord is near to the

brokenhearted and saves

the crushed in spirit.

Many are the--

[loud thunder crack]

[loud noise from outside]

[woman] Herman.

[door knock]

[door knock]

[Herman coughs]

[door knock]

-Who's there?

-It | s Sister Mary and Sister

Josephine from the convent.

I'm sorry to bother you, but

our power went out

when we lost heat.

Please can we come in?

It | s freezing cold out

and storming.

Thank you.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Here you go.

Nice and warm now.

So kind of you to let us stay.

Sister Josephine can't stand

the cold for very long

in her condition.

What's her condition?

She can't see very well

and has had some confusion

in recent months.

You know, I really don | t have

a lot of space here and

kind of have a lot going on.

I completely understand,

and I promise we'll leave just a

as the storm passes.

Oh, my.

You know, I'm

I'm not supposed

to have visitors.

Right.

You've taken the

vow of solitude.

You know me?

Of course. We pray for you.

Well, you shouldn't be here.

I know, and

I promise we wouldn't have come

if we didn't have to.

I just knew you had a

working fireplace and...

Just until our power

comes back on.

When do you think that will be?

Soon.

We hope.

Something smells good.

Were you cooking?

[suspenseful music]

[evil laughter]

I won't let you take

her from me.

Not this time.

Is everything okay?

Yes. Be right out.

Wow. This is delicious.

This is rabbit stew, right?

I love rabbit stew.

It's a real treat.

Is this something that

you make often?

Only on rare occasions.

What's the occasion?

Are you celebrating something?

Not exactly.

Is everything okay?

Look, if you're gonna stay here.

I would prefer,

and I think it's best

if we keep to ourselves.

It's nothing personal.

I just can't get over the meal.

I mean, who taught

you to cook like this?

Quite the chef.

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

You remind me of someone.

Well, I hope that's

a good thing.

If I may ask,

what made you come here?

It's no small thing

choosing to be alone.

He | s not alone.

Excuse me. What did she say?

Sometimes Sister

Josephine says things.

It is here with you.

What | s here?

Darkness.

You've seen it?

It cannot be seen.

It can only show.

Show what?

-Pain.

-Okay, I think we can just--

No. How did she know that?

Like Sisyphus

pushing the rock up the mountain

and down it falls

again and again

forever.

I think Sister Josephine

can see just fine.

Jesus says whoever follows me

will never walk in darkness.

God has put us here

in the darkness.

Why? To watch me suffer?

Herman, if you're suffering,

we're here for you.

You have no idea

what you're dealing with.

Maybe not, but I'm not afraid.

You should be.

It will take

everything you love.

What did it take from you?

Everything.

Sorry.

It | ll all be over soon.

The darkness cannot be escaped.

You must

go through the darkness

or its presence

will linger here.

I've tried.

I've tried.

It's worse than dying.

On the other side of darkness,

there is light.

Maybe Sister Josephine

is right about one thing.

Maybe we're here for a reason.

Maybe we can help you.

I don't want any help.

I don't want to be here anymore.

Where would you rather be?

With her.

Who is that?

Were you married?

You need to leave this place.

It's not safe here.

Why isn't it?

Sister Mary, you

don | t understand.

It will infect you.

It will slowly invade your mind.

It | ll make you think things.

It makes you see things and,

it makes you feel things.

Terrible things.

Like what?

Quickly, while you still can.

-Please don't make us

go back out there.

-You need to leave this place.

Trust me. You do not want to be

It | s okay, Herman.

God will protect us.

We must stay.

We must.

You're making a serious mistake.

Has it gotten darker?

Yes.

Well, it only gets worse.

It doesn't have to get worse.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

I think maybe you've

been alone too long, Herman.

But it's okay. We | re here now.

Do you have anyone

who cares for you?

Not anymore.

It was your wife, right?

You must have really loved her.

What was she like?

I | m sorry, Herman, for whatever

it is that you | re going through.

But I want you to know

that you are loved.

God truly loves you.

She was too good for me,

and she knew it.

That can't be true.

She left me

for another.

I'm sorry.

Is it forgiveness that

you're looking for?

What do you mean?

Did you hurt someone?

Stop.

Is that why you're hiding

out here all alone in the woods?

Stop! I said stop!

I'm sorry.

-It's just.

-It | s just what?

It's making you

do this. It knows.

No one is making

me do anything.

I want to be here for you.

I want to help you.

I know you're hurting.

There's nothing anybody

can do for me.

You can only help yourself.

It would help me to know

you're not going to

hurt yourself, Herman.

Well,

you came at the wrong time.

Listen.

[low throbbing]

I don't hear anything.

It | s here.

[ghostly woman] Herman, no.

It's not real.

You're not real.

You son of a b*tch!

What are you doing?

I saw it.

I mean, I thought I...

-I'm sorry.

-It | s okay.

-I tried to warn you.

-It's okay. It's okay.

I know it was an accident.

This storm is

making us all

a little stir crazy.

I know you would never hurt me.

I wish I could be sure that.

This ends now.

Where are you going?

Herman, please.

Everything is fine!

I know it was an accident.

Herman, please. Just come

down here and talk to us!

[door knock]

[door knock]

-Someone's at the door.

-No!

Just ignore it.

I'm gonna answer it.

It must be someone

from the convent.

No, don't answer it.

It's a trick. It's what it does.

How could it be a trick?

Haven | t you learned your lesson?

[loud knocking]

We should at least look and see.

We don't have to let them in.

[male voice] Hello?

[male voice] Is there

anyone there?

-No. No, no.

- [male voice] I need to

borrow a phone.

Please, Herman. Someone

needs our help.

Hey, I'm so sorry to bother you.

I was just out hiking, and now

all my gear is soaked.

Do you have a phone

I could borrow?

No. I | m sorry.

You have to leave.

Herman, let | s not be rude.

He seems harmless to me.

I promise you I | m harmless.

Can I please borrow a phone?

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

It | s nice and warm in here.

Hi. I'm, I'm James.

I'm sister Mary.

This is sister Josephine

and Herman, who owns the cabin.

Well, Herman,

who owns the cabin,

I appreciate you taking me out

from that pouring rain.

Jesus Christ, it is

cold out there.

Excuse me.

Please watch your language.

Oh, I'm so sorry, ladies.

I didn't mean anything by that.

I'm just not the religious type.

It's fine.

But I'm willing to learn,

so why not?

Well, I'm always happy to share

the message of the Lord

for those open to listening.

So nice of you.

Wow. You're like

the real deal, huh?

Well, James

the phone is in the kitchen.

-You're welcome to use it.

-Right, right, right

Before you continue on your way.

Yeah., I | ll take a minute to

you know, get warm

and make that phone call.

She | s only a couple of

hours out by car.

Couple hours?

At least there | s a dial tone.

Hey, baby.

[James] I could be down there

by tomorrow.

[loud thump from outside]

[James] I'll make sure to get

there just in time.

So good news.

My friend's actually on the way,

but she told me that

the main road is closed,

so it's going to take her

a minute to get here.

But she wanted me to tell you,

all of you,

thank you so much for having me

stay and keeping me warm

until she gets here.

Look, I don't want to b

be rude, but--

What would Jesus do Herman?

-Really?

-I | m sure he | d let me stay.

Oh, alright. Fine then.

I suppose we can't

leave you out there.

Herman, that's so Christlike

of you, I appreciate that.

I mean, letting strangers

into your home.

I appreciate that.

Suddenly you are

the religious type.

I | m just going with the flow.

But, besides,

I was looking forward

to having a great weekend.

Do you often camp alone?

On occasion.

I like my me time.

It brings you here tonight.

-What?

-She means

of all the places you could go,

you chose these woods.

I'm just trying to get home.

Okay.

Do you know what lingers here?

Please Sister Josephine.

He | s a guest.

What is she talking about?

Do you feel it?

I feel cold and wet, yes.

There's a darkness here.

Is that a black joke?

A dark presence lurks amongst us

beyond what our eyes can see.

Are y' | all talking about

some type of supernatural

presence here?

-What's going on?

-Sometimes Sister Josephine--

No, no, no. She's right.

Look here, no disrespect.

I know there | s some freaky

things that happen here

outside in the woods.

But, I assure you that there's

no supernatural entity.

It's just a storm

passing, that's all.

Look, we don't need

you to believe us,

but you've been warned.

Well, since we have

some time to k*ll,

what is this darkness

you guys speak of?

I feel like we're very

safe in here.

But you | re not safe here.

None of us are.

Did I walk into some type

of religious cult?

Cause I don't do

none of that voodoo sh*t.

The longer you're here,

it grows in you. It

grows in all of us.

I think I'll be okay.

That's what I thought.

Look, the longer you stay,

the worse it becomes.

So if I was you, I | d tell your

friend to get here

as quick as possible.

I'll make sure she

gets the message.

Everything is fine, Herman.

I'm here too.

Who knows? Maybe we | ll even

enjoy the company.

I'm not so sure about that.

Oh, my God. This is delicious.

Hey, sure. Just help yourself.

I appreciate that, my man.

It | s amazing.

You should | ve let me

warm it up for you.

Oh no no no no no

it is just fine.

It's fine.

[James] Yeah, baby.

[James] You like that?

[moaning]

Wow. She's beautiful.

Put that down.

Chill dude. It's not like

I'm screwing her.

What did you just say?

Look, I'm trying to start

any problems, okay?

Then don | t.

I got you, buddy.

It | s that bad, huh?

Please leave my bedroom.

Will do.

So. We get together

one night, and

she starts telling me

about this guy.

I just couldn | t believe

everything she told me.

Her husband was that bad to her?

He was a*usive.

Tormented her.

Physically?

Mentally.

He stifled her.

I guess it's good that she

had someone to talk to.

Yeah.

Actually, I have an idea.

Might as well celebrate, right?

Herman, you don't mind, do you?

I do actually.

I don't normally drink, but

I guess a glass of wine is fine.

Are you sure you don't

want a glass, Herman?

No. Thank you.

How about some music?

Would you play a

favorite record of yours?

[soft music plays from

a record player]

[James] Wait. Wait, so listen.

Listen to the story.

So I'm out hiking

all alone, right?

[Sister Mary laughs]

[James] And I'm starting to hear

this rustling behind me.

But I didn't think anything

of it at first,

[James] so I just kept walking,

[Sister Mary] Okay.

[James] And then it starts

getting louder.

So I stop and listen,

but nothing.

And I just start freaking

out because I'm like,

is it all in my head?

[James] Am I--

[Sister Mary] Right.

[James] Am I trippin | ? Like am I

[Sister Mary] Of course.

[James] And then, so,

I keep walking.

And then suddenly, I swear

to God, I heard this low,

deep growl

coming from the bushes

about twenty feet away from me.

And as I'm getting

closer and closer,

it starts getting

louder and louder

to the point that the growl

was like five feet away from me.

-What?

-Wait, wait, wait. It

keeps getting better.

[James] I pick up a rock from

the ground as slow as possible

to fend for myself.

And then I finally, obviously,

because I'm not looking at that,

muster up the courage

to turn around and then bam.

Right there.

It was a mountain lion.

Just looking at me,

growling at me.

And I was scared right?

I was scared.

But here's the kicker.

I'm looking right

at this animal.

[Sister Mary] Yeah.

[James] In its eyes.

[James] And it just stops.

[Sister Mary] That | s amazing.

[James] Wait, wait.

[James] It just turns around

and walks away like

nothing ever happened.

-That's incredible.

-It was insane.

It was like it saw me.

Like the real me.

[James] You know?

[James] Maybe it was God's work.

I don | t know.

[Sister Mary] Whoopsie.

[James] Oh! You | re drunk.

[Sister Mary] I | m not.

One glass.

[James] Well, that must be

some good wine then.

-I, um--

-Clearly she | s taken, James.

She's a woman of God.

You need to give it a rest.

I'm sorry, I think maybe

you had the wrong idea.

How so?

I'm committed to the church.

Look, I was just being

friendly, that | s all.

With all your faults, I love

you still. It had to be you

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Doesn | t commitment mean

anything to you?

Had to be you.

I'm sorry.

[Sister Mary] I guess your

friend should be

getting here soon.

[James] My friend?

[Sister Mary] It's been hours.

[evil laughter]

[James cries softly]

[Sister Mary] What happened?

It was him.

When he found out

I was with her...

I can | t even say it.

What's going on?

She's dead.

Who's dead?

I should have done something.

I shoud | ve saved her.

I should | ve did something!

You can't be here.

-Get out of my house!

-I | m not going anywhere!

Please, Herman. I want

James to stay.

He's bound to you.

As are we.

The darkness brought us here.

It | s no use fighting it.

Enough of that darkness.

It | s no use fighting it.

It's bullshit. All of it.

There's no God. There's

no demons. There's no

none of it.

It's fear that's

controlling all of you.

Not some supernatural--

[loud knock from outside]

Did anyone see you in the woods?

Does anyone else

know we're here?

No.

I was alone.

Should we open it?

No, don't open the door.

Don't open the door!

I'm scared.

Leave us! Go away!

I think it's gone.

It never leaves.

Look, it | s nothing. There | s

nothing out there.

I can protect you

all. Don't worry.

It comes in many forms.

I'm going to open the door.

Please don't.

Maybe it was just a

branch hitting the door.

It is no branch.

Look, there's nothing out there.

Satisfied?

What's that?

Oh, no. Oh, no.

-We have to help him.

-Help me please. I | m dying.

-We have to help him, Herman!

-No, no, no.

-Are you crazy?

-We can't let him in.

-He | s hurt.

-It | s not what it seems.

-We need to help him.

-I | m not just going to sit here

and watch a man die!

-There | s nothing we can do.

Go help him. Go, go, go!

[man groans]

Are you okay? What

happened to you?

It's here.

What | s here? What are

you talking about?

The darkness.

Calm down. Are you alright?

Here, let me help you.

Help me! Help me please!

Relax. Come on.

Let's get him inside!

Here you go.

Here, have a seat. Come on.

That's it. That | s it.

All right.

-Okay.

-Okay. Here you go.

-How's that?

-It | s perfect. Thank you.

No no no no.

Something's not right.

-It's a trick.

-Everything is fine.

He needs our help.

Are you alright, man?

It looks like something

beat you up pretty bad.

That's enough.

I guess it | s not as

bad as we thought.

Or at least

not in the way that you thought.

He's not hurt.

I don't understand.

It's him.

You know him?

No, no. I...

He's here to take her from me.

Take who, your wife?

Herman, you | re not making sense.

What the hell is going on?

He's from the dark place.

Listen to her.

She knows.

You have strong insight.

I'm a pawn

like we all are.

A small part

of a large darkness.

Look, man, I don't

know who you are

but you need to go back to

wherever the hell you came from.

It's okay., James.

It's not you that it's after.

-How do you know my--

-What do you want from me?

I think you know.

Many are the afflictions

of the righteous,

but the Lord will deliver him

out of them all.

The darkness has come for you.

I'm here to bring you to it.

How?

You | ve seen it already,

haven't you?

The dark place.

When you're ready.

But first it wants to show

you what you really are

deep down.

The monster.

No.

You | re the monster.

You | re the demon.

Are you sure about that?

Are you sure

that you don't

feel something?

Yes.

There it is.

[Sister Mary] Herman?

[Sister Mary] Are you okay?

[Sister Mary] Herman?

[evil laughter]

[Sister Mary] Herman?

What | s wrong?

[Sister Mary] Can I come in?

[James] He's losing it.

[Sister Mary] What did

you do to him?

God help us, please.

[Sister Josephine] And death

shall be no more.

Nor shall there be mourning

nor crying, nor pain anymore.

For the former

things have passed away.

[low growl]

Herman?

Okay, everybody calm down.

If I feel anything, I swear to

God, I'm gonna start swinging.

Herman?

It is.

It must be.

[loud growl]

[Sister Mary] Sister Josephine?

[choking]

No no no. No.

You. You did this!

Did I? My hands are clean.

How about yours?

I would never. You did this.

You have to believe me.

He's a demon.

He's here to cause us suffering.

Am I the one acting strange,

threatening to k*ll myself?

Just own up to it, Herman.

-You | re a k*ller.

-No.

You did this.

You | re a m*rder*r.

You need to leave my home.

You go away now.

You can't stand it, can you?

You can't take knowing

what you really are.

Stop it, Herman! This isn | t you.

He has to die!

Get off him!

You | re sick. You don | t know

what you | re saying.

We need to restrain him.

I | ll k*ll you, you b*stard.

Ill k*ll you!

He | s only going to get worse

if we don't stop him now.

Please don't let this happen.

I just want you to

get better, Herman.

You | re not thinking straight.

It | s him! He's the one.

He's got you all fooled.

-Get off me.

-I | m sorry.

No, no.

[woman] Herman.

[woman] Please.

You think I'm the

bad guy, don | t you?

If I'm evil,

then you are evil.

You thought you could hide

out here in the woods,

pretending to be

holier than thou.

The truth always comes back

no matter how deep we bury it.

Listen.

[James] You didn't know

any better. He | s crazy.

[Sister Mary] I just wanted

to help him, but

he | s really lost it.

Sound familiar?

[Sister Mary] I | m just

so scared.

[James] I'm here for you.

He's there for her

like you can't be.

Sometimes

you just need

a shoulder to cry on.

Untie me.

Untie me!

[man] What's that?

Untie me.

Gladly.

You slimy mother!

[woman] You weren't there

for me, Herman.

[low growl]

It's okay.

I'll go check on him.

You let him loose?

You worthless b*stard!

Herman,

What are you doing?

Put down the knife.

I won't let him touch you.

You | re talking crazy, Herman.

It | s all in your head.

Is it though?

Don't you know what

this man did to your wife?

I don't know what the hell

he's talking about.

Herman, listen to me.

It | s not real, okay?

You're going to let him

have his way with her

in your own house?

[evil laughter]

Stop it, Herman!

You | re gonna k*ll him!

Get off me.

You!

You took her from me!

What have you done?

What have you done, Herman?

It wasn | t me. It was him!

I saw you do it,

Herman. It was you.

Alice.

You | re not well, Herman.

Don | t you see that?

Alice, please.

[woman] Herman, what | s

wrong with you?

You can't leave.

Don't leave.

Sister Josephine was right.

There is a darkness here.

No!

[crack]

No! I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You! Look what you | ve done!

I think you're confused.

[Herman] Who are you?

[man] I'll show you.

[soft music plays]

With all your faults,

I love you still.

You're quite the chef.

-It had to be you,

wonderful you

It had to be you

-It had to be you.

-It had to be you.

You have a good heart, Herman.

You just think too much.

Always in your head.

I know. It's my curse.

No.

It makes you, you.

And I | m in love with you.

You always see the

good in me, Alice.

And it means

everything to me.

I want to spend the rest--

Come here, you coward.

Where?

Where are you?

What's happening?

Where in the hell am I?

[soft music plays]

It had to be you.

It had to be you.

[woman] Herman.

Hello? Hello?

[man] Herman, what's wrong with

What did you do to her?

[woman] Herman.

Alice?

Alice?

Alice, where are you?

[Sister Mary] Why did you do

this to me, Herman?

You said you

would never hurt me.

Don't fight it.

Just let it take you in.

Look at yourself.

What do you want from me?

[Sister Josephine chanting]

[chanting]

[chanting]

[man] Face it.

[man] Face it.

It's not possible to conduct

meaninful research without...

[Knock]

Hey, I'm about to leave.

Just one second. Trying

to figure this out.

Sure.

Where are you going?

That company hike thing.

A hike?

Yes. I told you about

this a week ago.

I don't remember you telling me.

Well, I did.

You just didn't hear me.

Well, sometimes you tell

me things when I'm

I'm busy on something else.

You responded.

Okay. i don | t remember,

but it | s fine.

Thanks.

You know, I do feel like

it would be something

I would remember

if you had told me.

You're always busy with

something, Herman or just

not paying attention.

[Herman] Wow.

Hey, I'm not complaining.

It's just the truth.

And I get it.

I really do.

It | s what makes you

good at your job.

-Thanks.

-Yeah.

Anyway, it's really

not that big of a deal.

It's like a team building thing.

It just seems kind of

random for a Sunday.

They do stuff like this

on occasion.

It's really not that random.

I guess I'm not invited.

Herman, I can't even get you to

come to church with me

for an hour.

[Herman] Well, that's different.

That's a deliberate

choice I made.

Right.

Anyway, it's staff only.

Of course it is.

Can you please not

make this a thing?

It's not a thing.

It's just you have been

spending a lot of time

with people from work is all.

Herman, this is mandatory.

Meaning I don | t have a choice.

I'll see you this afternoon.

[car engine starts]

Face it, you coward.

Just let me die.

That's all that's left for me.

Not yet.

It wants to give you

one more chance.

Look.

[distant crying]

Alice.

She's alive?

How can that be?

She's dead.

She doesn't seem dead.

Alice.

[throbbing, distant growls]

I just gave her what

she wanted, Herman.

[low growls]

She wasn't happy with you.

It didn | t have to be this way.

Many are the afflictions

of the righteous,

but the Lord

delivers him out

of them all.

[low growls]

They're just friends, Herman.

I'm allowed to have friends.

Friends you stay out late

with and get drunk with?

Yeah, you know, when your

husband doesn't pay

any attention to you

and yells at you whenever you

spend time with anyone else.

-Who | s yelling?

-And doesn't listen to a

word you're saying.

It's nice to spend

time with people

who actually give a sh*t

about what you have to say.

So that's what's happening?

Some as*h*le from work is your

shoulder to cry on now?

Would you listen to yourself?

If you | d just get out of

your head for one second

and actually hear

what I'm saying?

But you only hear

what you want to hear.

I'm all ears, Alice.

I just want to be with

someone who cares about me,

who actually loves me and

doesn't just want to possess me.

Are you cheating on me?

Oh, my God,

you can't be serious.

Just answer the damn question.

No, I'm not, you as*h*le.

I feel like I can't trust you.

You don't trust anyone.

You're obsessive

and you're paranoid.

And I can't do this anymore.

Alice.

Alice!

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

Yeah, you may as well go

home and k*ll yourself.

Go on hiding from life.

Hiding from the truth.

I'm dead either way.

[Alice crying]

[thunder, rain]

It knows what you want

more than anything.

Alice.

Redemption.

-I don't know what you mean.

-God.

You | ve buried it so deep.

What are you talking about?

You have a choice.

To run back to safety,

to hiding,

or to face the darkness head on.

Think about her.

Think about Alice.

What would you do for a

chance to make things right?

I want to spend the rest

of my life with you, Herman.

I | m coming, Alice!

[monster shrieks and growls]

What do you want from me?

Hey.

What are you doing out here?

It's freezing.

Stop!

You're okay.

It's okay.

Ow! Stop it!

I can't take it.

Face the truth.

This is your fault.

You did this to me!

And who am I?

You need to face

reality, Herman.

You've been given a

rare opportunity

to look at yourself honestly.

I can't bear it.

Yes you can. The truth

will set you free.

-Just say it.

-I can | t.

Just say it.

I was so hurt,

and I was so angry.

Stop making excuses.

She left me!

Right.

And then what happened?

Oh my God, Herman!

Please stop! It | s not

what you think!

Let go of him!

Let go of him!

-Let go of him!

-Why did you make me do this?

Why did you make me do this?

Let go of him!

I don | t understand why

you | re protecting him.

[man chokes, coughs]

You | re not well, Herman.

Don't you see that?

[Alice screams]

Alice? Alice! No.

I | m sorry. I | m sorry, Alice.

You see it now? Say it.

--I

--You waht?

Admit the truth

for the first time

in your godforsaken life.

-Say it!

-I k*lled her.

I k*lled my sweet Alice.

I deserve to die.

I deserve to die.

Maybe.

But it didn't bring you

here to k*ll you.

Then why?

To face the one you

hurt the most.

Look.

Alice.

Alice.

I'm sorry, my love.

I did this to you.

The last thing I ever wanted

to do was hurt you.

I never felt pain

like I felt when I thought you

were with someone else.

Something.

Something took over me.

A darkness.

I wasn't myself.

I | ll never forgive myself

for what I did to you.

Nothing could ever

excuse what I did.

Herman.

Alice, my sweet Alice.

My Herman.

I wanted to spend

my life with you.

I'm so sorry.

What hapened to us?

It was all my fault.

You were right, sweetie.

Something's wrong with me.

And I've been lying to

myself all these years.

I just can | t take

knowing what I did.

I'd rather die.

You have a good heart, Herman.

That's why I fell

in love with you.

No.

No, don | t leave me.

Please. Stay with me, sweetie.

I can't do this alone.

Maybe...

Maybe I could just

stay here with you.

I don't want to go back.

I can | t go back.

[Alice] Wake up, Herman.

[soft music plays from

a record player]

Some others I've seen

might never be mean

Might never be cross or try to

be boss. But they wouldn | t do

For nobody else--

[stool falls over]

When the righteous cry for help,

the Lord hears

and delivers them

out of their troubles.

The Lord is near

to the brokenhearted

and saves the crushed in spirit.

Many are the afflictions

of the righteous.

But the Lord delivers him

out of them all.

[loud knock at the door]

[upbeat music]
