[bunniefuu]

They were monochorionic,

monoamniotic twins.

The rarest kind,

only occurring in one percent

of all twin pregnancies.

They shared

the same amniotic sac,

the same placenta.

The only way

they could have been closer

is if they were conjoined.

They were quite premature.

They had to spend time

in the NICU.

Whenever little Anna

was taken away

for feeding or care...

...Zoe would

just cry her lungs out.

Science can't explain that.

That's what

David always said.

My babies

weren't even 24 hours old

when I realized that...

they would never need me

as much as other babies

need their mothers.

See, a... a mother should be

the most important person

in the world

to a baby,

but...

I wasn't.

They always needed each other

more than they needed me,

more than anything.

Jesus, Anna.

You can't say this sh*t.

No f*cking way.

Say what?

"My friends say I'm fun,

romantic, and honest"?

Can't say

"horny and ambitious,"

that'd be your profile.

If I was desperate enough

to do this sh*t, then yeah,

maybe that's what it would say.

Oh, come on, Zoe.

What's wrong

with "fun and romantic"?

Well, it's boring as f*ck.

The real problem

is that "my friends say"

bullshit.

it's weak.

You should know yourself

better than anyone.

And you should say you're 29.

I'm 31.

We're 31.

Men like younger women, Anna.

I don't like lying, Zoe.

Will two years really make

that big of a difference?

When you're on

the wrong side of 30,

emphatic "yes."

Why are you wearing that?

You always

make fun of my clothes.

I have an audition tomorrow

and I need to look

sort of dull.

You really think

I should lie about my age?

You wanna be completely honest?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Well, then I guess

you better 'fess up

that you're on the hunt

for a husband.

Obviously, I wouldn't say that.

It would just scare guys away.

Exactly. Hence, lying,

the foundation

of every relationship.

Maybe we could make

a profile for you too,

just for fun.

Or maybe

I could blow my brains out.

Zoe, don't say that.

Don't you ever get lonely?

Why would I?

I have you.

Always.

So, your first foray

into dating sites.

How are you finding it?

Not so great.

- No?

- No.

This one guy

wanted to bring his mother

on our first date.

Oh!

And this other guy wanted me

to brush my hair

with the brush

that belonged to his mother.

What?

She was dead.

I'm so sorry! What--

What are these guys after?

Looking to turn you

into their mothers?

Yeah, mother or minx.

Which one are you looking for?

Uh...

...well,

I absolutely adore my mom,

but, uh...

no, not that.

I know everyone

meets online these days,

but you know what I miss?

What?

That feeling of being

in a crowded place

and your eyes

just happen to collide

with someone across the room.

Everything else

just disappears,

and it's just the two of you.

What about you, Gus?

Do you ever think

of that sort of thing?

I have a little bit

of a confession.

Um...

my name's not Gus.

I... I mean, it's...

it's... it's...

it sort of is Gus. It's my--

Gus is my middle name,

but my name's Nick.

So why does it say "Gus"

on your profile?

I don't know. I'm--

I guess I didn't really want

people who might know me

to know that I'm--

Looking for love online?

Yeah!

Yeah, something like that.

Are you married?

What?

No! No, no, no.

No, no, no, I'm not married.

Nick...

No matter what happens

or doesn't happen between us,

I just have one request.

I need you

to be 100% honest with me.

I mean it.

Can you do that?

Absolutely.

How about a nightcap?

We are not sleeping together,

at least, not anytime soon.

Hey, who said anything

about sleeping together?

Geez, is sex

all you think about?

My goodness!

Anna.

Come on. One drink?

Okay.

All right.

Come here.

I was starting to wonder

if you were ever

gonna turn around.

Let's get outta here.

Why do you never come inside?

You know all those crazies

give me the creeps.

They're not crazy, Zoe.

You're looking at me

like I'm the weirdo,

and you're friends

with the f*cking pigeons?

She's not normally like that.

I'm so sorry.

Your pigeons are adorable.

Why are you ignoring my texts?

I'm not.

I just had a busy morning.

For all I knew, you could've

been r*ped and m*rder*d

by your date.

What was his name? Gus?

Actually, it's Nick.

Who's Nick?

Gus is Nick.

Not that Gus is a fake name.

It's not.

It's his middle name.

He just-- He's--

Married.

No.

What's he hiding?

Nothing, Zoe.

I actually really liked him.

He did the most romantic thing

after dinner.

What? Try to f*ck you?

No. It was a first date.

Why? Is he gay?

Did you follow me yesterday?

When have

I ever followed you, sis?

I saw you at the bar

last night, Zoe.

I was at lots of bars

last night.

Come on.

Let me buy you some lunch.

I want to hear all about...

Nick.

Nick, right.

The guy whose name

rhymes with--

Be nice.

I'll be the nicest bitch

you ever met.

Hi, Daddy.

Can I make you a drink?

Guess not.

Is that my Zoe?

You always did

prefer Anna's bedroom,

even when you were little.

We used to try

and switch places,

trick you.

That never worked on me.

I could tell my girls apart,

blindfolded.

We got you once or twice.

No!

Yeah. Dad was easier.

Shocking.

You know, he wouldn't even

look me in the eye?

Honey, you can't let that

get to you.

He's just obsessed

with his work right now.

Very stressed.

So what's going on, darling?

Anna met someone.

Really? Who?

Nick Hudson.

He's rich and handsome.

Well, that sounds

promising, hmm?

I don't trust him.

Why not?

I spied on them a teensy bit

on their first date.

Darling, I don't think

you should do that.

He's way too hot not to be

a complete assh*le.

Maybe this one is different.

They're all the same.

Anna's just too sweet

to know the difference.

Whoa-ho!

Slow down there, cowgirl.

I can't keep up.

You should try.

f*ck!

Ivan--

f*ck off!

Hey! Hey!

f*ck off!

What the hell's

wrong with you, man?

Wait, Nick!

You stay the hell away

from her, you hear me?

No! Stop, stop, stop.

It's okay, it's okay.

Ivan, you know what to do.

It's okay. I promise.

Yeah.

You have... Tourette's?

Yeah.

- I'm so sorry.

- It really

f*cking sucks!

What happened?

Another f*cking rejection.

Sorry that I... Cock-sucking!

...yelled.

Ivan's been job hunting,

and it hasn't been easy.

Oh.

Ivan, this is, um, my--

Boyfriend.

My boyfriend. Nick.

Anna's the, uh, nicest person

I've ever met.

You're pretty... F--

...lucky.

Hey, it's a pleasure

to meet you, Ivan.

I'm sorry to hear

you're having a rough time.

Hey, why don't we go

get some coffee?

I was just closing up,

but you know I always

have time for my friends.

Yeah.

Yeah? Let's do it.

Hey, Nick?

I'm sorry if this makes us

miss the movie.

You have no idea

how wonderful you are, do you?

Oh, wow!

Anna, this is incredible.

Thank you.

Is it, uh,

too rude to ask

how you can afford this place?

I mean, I imagine the reward

of working at shelters

is helping people,

not a big paycheck.

Hmm.

Wow!

It's not rude.

I may have

a bit of a trust fund.

I was born very lucky, so...

I always try and give back.

Yeah.

I love you, Anna.

I love you too, Gus.

Hey, you.

Jesus.

They do this

in all of my favorite movies.

Oh, ho...

Oh, my God, Nick.

I just realized

we haven't had "the talk."

What?

Do you like rom-coms?

I mean...

yeah, of course I do.

I'm not a sociopath.

Okay. Phew!

Just making sure.

Hey, you didn't tell me

you have a twin.

I didn't?

Are you sure?

Yeah! I'm pretty sure

I would remember that.

Mm.

Well, that's Zoe.

Wow. Zoe.

It's crazy.

She looks just like you.

That's how identical twins

work, Nick.

Oh, got you.

She, uh...

she lives here with you?

Oh, um, sometimes.

Yeah?

She's... been through a lot.

Breakdowns, addiction, rehab.

I just try and take care

of the people I love.

Speaking of...

- Come and eat.

- Ooh, hoo, hoo!

Are you sure I can't help you?

Positive.

Wow.

Heart-shaped pancakes?

These look incredible.

They're my favorite.

I really hope you like them.

Thank you.

Now pass me the syrup.

Let me know what you think.

I'm unstoppable today, buddy!

Maybe she's the one.

Yo, would you cut it out?

I'm trying to make

some money over here.

Life on this side of the fence

is quite nice.

You should join us, Nick.

I'm way too hung over

for all that happy bullshit.

You finally f*cked him?

Tell you what, man.

She is always on my mind.

Dude.

What?

You're talking

in song titles now.

Sheesh!

Leave me alone.

Accept it. Come on.

Who was in my room?

It was just Nick,

looking at

that cute photo of us.

You know I don't like people

messing with my stuff.

He wasn't messing with anything.

I promise.

Hey, Rebecca. Can I call you

in, like, five minutes?

Mom broke her hip, Nick.

Aw, sh*t.

What happened? Is she okay?

No cell phones allowed in here.

Oh, my God.

Bec,

are you at the hospital?

Rebecca?

She already had surgery,

and, uh,

they found something bad.

Okay, what hospital?

Is that him?

I wanna answer it.

No.

Hey, you!

Hey, Anna. Uh...

What's wrong?

Uh, it's my mom.

She broke her hip.

Oh, no, Nick. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it's not just that.

They, uh,

they think they found cancer,

and it's pretty advanced.

Oh, my God.

Nick, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I gotta go

to the hospital.

Okay. Um...

well, I'm coming with you.

Okay, thanks.

I'll see you soon.

Dr. Wong, phone call, please.

Dr. Wong, phone call, please.

Hey.

Hi, sweetie.

Hi, Mom.

I think I finally understand

why people do dr*gs.

Um...

so, Mom--

It's okay, sweetheart.

The doctor told me everything.

You know, whatever happens,

I'm a lucky woman.

I had the best kids

in the whole world.

Who's this?

Hi.

I'm Anna, Mrs. Hudson.

A friend of Nick's.

A special friend, I hope?

Are your feet cold?

Oh, I can find you some socks.

Oh, uh--

That's very sweet of you,

but you don't have to do that.

I don't mind.

Did your daughter

bring you anything?

Got 'em.

How did you know?

I just wanna make sure

you are cozy.

Why don't we get some dinner?

Yeah?

Yeah.

You still have time with her.

We're gonna help her

fight this, okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Will you marry me?

I... I... I already

f*cked this up.

I don't even have a ring,

but we'll go

pick one out together.

Life is too short

and I wanna spend

the rest of mine with you.

- Yes.

- Yes?

- Yes?

- Yes! Oh, my God!

I love you.

Mm. I love you.

Oh! Becs!

Uh, Anna,

this is my sister, Rebecca.

Uh, Rebecca, this is Anna,

my, uh...

Fiance, apparently?

Yeah. Yeah.

It's so nice

to meet you, Rebecca.

Wow!

How long have

you guys known each other?

How long has it been?

Six weeks.

Six weeks.

Well... congrats! I guess.

How's Mom?

Yeah, you know--

She's doing so well, mentally.

- Yeah.

- I mean, obviously,

there's a tough road ahead,

but Pamela's a fighter.

Mm.

Okay, then.

I'm gonna go see the fighter.

Excuse me.

It was really nice

to meet you, Becs.

Yeah. Yeah.

Was I too much?

No, you're never too much.

You were perfect.

Becca just takes some time

to warm up to people,

that's all.

Are we crazy?

No.

Okay, yeah, maybe a little.

Yeah.

Are you f*cking crazy?

You just met him!

I mean, what the f*ck, Anna?

I didn't just meet him.

Yes, you did.

You haven't even

introduced me to him yet.

Why?

You haven't asked.

It's because you know I'll see

right through his bullshit.

He's a player, isn't he?

You always trust so easily.

He's not a player, Zoe.

Bet he's got

a kid hidden away somewhere.

No.

Divorced?

No! It's nothing like that.

Why'd he split up

with his last ex?

Think, Anna. Think.

I don't know.

We haven't talked

about any serious exes.

There you go.

He's afraid of commitment.

Afraid of commitment?

He proposed to me, Zoe!

Where's the ring?

Oh, my God, Anna.

It was

a spur-of-the-moment thing.

That's what made it

so romantic.

Don't you get that?

What is wrong with you?

Are you just so damaged

that you can't

believe in anyone?

Zoe!

I love my ring.

I love you.

Are you nervous?

Yeah, just a bit nervous.

You'll be great.

Whoa.

So you grew up in a mansion?

I wouldn't call it a mansion.

Well, everyone else would.

You ready?

Yeah.

They're gonna love you,

I know it.

Let's do it.

Let's do it!

Mom?

Anna! Hi, sweetie!

Oh, it's so good

to have you home.

This is the guy I've been

telling you about, Nick.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

It's great to meet you.

Oh... oh, okay.

You too.

Beautiful home.

Dad, is that you?

- Yes. Hey, honey.

- Hi!

Oh, my God,

you look beautiful, Anna.

Oh, thank you.

You look great.

This... is Nick.

- Pleasure to meet you, sir.

- Oh, no.

It's David. It's David.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, my God. Champagne? Wow.

We're celebrating, huh?

Yeah.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

We're getting married!

What?

Oh?

Yeah!

Oh!

Wow. Uh--

Wow.

Isn't it so pretty?

Wow, I guess

we really are celebrating.

It's extraordinary.

What do you think?

It's beautiful. Congratulations.

Um, so, uh,

we'll get this on some ice,

and we've got some

hors d'oeuvres on the island.

Come on.

Yeah. All right.

We'll get that

on some ice.

So tell me

about yourself, Nick.

So, where are you from?

I'm from Westdale.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, born and raised.

Uh-huh.

And... and how long have, uh,

you and Anna known each other?

Oh, gosh, only about two months.

Yeah.

Um, I know that this

must seem impulsive,

but I'm very serious

about your daughter.

I've never met anyone like her.

Under normal circumstances,

we would've taken more time,

and I would've asked

for your permission.

I apologize for that, but...

And... and what else

has Anna told you

about, uh, her past?

Uh...

I guess just the basics.

Why do you ask?

Aw! Look at my two men

getting to know each other.

Dinner's ready.

- Great.

- All right.

Bon apptit.

Wow, this looks delicious.

Thank you.

Yeah.

No plate for Zoe?

Oh, uh...

Zo... Zoe won't be joining us.

Why not? She said she'd come.

Oh, she told me she was busy.

Busy with what?

I don't know, Anna.

You'll have to ask her.

Oh, well, looking forward

to meeting her,

at some point.

So, uh...

when were you two thinking

of having the wedding?

Alexia.

What?

There's no need to pressure them

into some kind of

arbitrary date, I think.

I'm... I'm sure you wanna take

your time, right?

No, that's not what I'm--

I was actually thinking

sooner than later.

Well... how soon?

Maybe in, like, six weeks or so?

Oh...

darling, tha... that's way

too short a time

to plan a proper wedding.

Yeah, but...

we're not sure how much time

we have left with Nick's mom,

so I just wanna make sure

that she's healthy enough

to enjoy the day.

Oh, I... I'm sorry.

I didn't know. I'm...

Please. It's okay.

What if we have it here?

The ceremony, out back?

It'd be perfect.

What do you think, Nick?

Oh, gosh, I mean,

it's a beautiful home, but...

we don't want to impose.

Oh, don't be silly.

It's settled.

Cheers.

Yeah. Cheers.

Cheers.

Thanks, Daddy.

Cheers.

This really is delicious.

Told you.

Whoo!

Mom, thanks for having us.

Mom--

Oh, ho, ho.

Okay, I honestly don't think

you should have any, Mom.

Oh, Rebecca! Of course I should.

Moments like this

need to be celebrated properly.

Here's to the future

Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Hudson.

Cheers!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Okay, not too much, Mom.

You're on way too many meds.

Calm down! She's fine.

Anna,

why don't you sit next to me?

And I wanna hear all about

what you're thinking

for the wedding.

Oh, I love that.

Rebecca,

scoot over so Anna can sit down.

- Come on.

- Excuse me, Becs.

Well, I don't have

all the details planned out yet.

Oh, come on.

Be honest with me, Anna.

You've been planning this

since you were a little girl,

haven't you?

Maybe a little.

Every girl does.

Not me.

What?

Mom wants

to leave you everything?

You've gotta be f*cking kidding.

Don't look at me!

It was her decision.

I'm sure it was.

Yeah, it was!

Are you guys okay?

Okay. Yeah.

Yup. I was just leaving.

Hey, Rebecca?

I just have a quick question.

Yup?

Would you be a bridesmaid?

I know it's a lot,

and it's crazy right now,

and there's a lot going on,

but...

I would really, really love it

if you were in the wedding.

I'll make it easy.

It's just you and Zoe,

the ceremony is small,

and I'm rambling now, but...

I would really love it.

It would mean so much to me.

What do you think?

- Okay, sure. Why not, yeah.

- Really?

Yay! I'm so excited!

Yay. Ow!

- That was my toe.

- Sorry, sorry.

I'm so excited! Thank you!

I'm so excited!

Okay. Can you--

It's gonna be so fun!

All right.

Bye.

So you're just gonna let her

marry this complete stranger?

What would you have me do?

Nick seems like a nice man.

Anna is very set on him.

Anna doesn't know her own mind.

What do you mean by that, Zoe?

Please don't do anything rash.

Mother.

When have I ever

done anything rash?

This is Nick.

Nick. It's Zoe.

- Zoe?

- Anna's sister.

Come on, man, you should

know this sh*t by now.

Oh, Zoe!

Yeah, of course. Sorry.

We've just never,

uh, talked before.

Time to change that.

Let's meet for dinner. Tonight.

Uh, okay.

Yeah, I'll see if Anna's free.

No Anna. She doesn't

need to know about this.

If you're really

gonna marry her,

we need to talk. Alone.

Talk about what?

I'll text the details.

Okay.

You must be Nick.

And this must be my drink.

Two more, please.

Do you talk?

Yes.

Yes, I talk.

Sorry, uh, it's just...

I look just like her?

Yeah. Uh...

it takes some getting used to,

is all.

Groundbreaking.

So,

you're marrying my sister?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Do you love her?

Oh, more than anything.

Well, you still have

multiple dating profiles up.

Hmm?

This isn't you?

Thank you.

Gus?

Yeah.

Yeah, but, I mean,

I don't use that anymore.

Then why is it still up?

I honestly just forgot about it.

Hmm.

Well, you took down the one

that you met Anna through,

so you're not a total idiot,

I'll give you that.

Yeah, thank you.

Uh, Zoe, we can take that--

we can delete it, right now.

Let's see what Gus has to say.

"I'm a glass-half-full

kind of guy,

and I love laughing."

No sh*t, dude.

Who doesn't love laughing?

"I like going out

and staying in."

Wow! Congratulations, Nick.

You like existing.

I'm starving. Feed me.

So what do you do?

Anna hasn't told you?

No, I don't believe

she's mentioned it.

Mm. Probably not.

She doesn't totally approve.

I'm an actress and a model.

Had a gig today.

Oh. That's cool.

What was it?

Modeling slutty underwear.

The usual bullshit.

They point a fan at you

to make your hair billow

and your nipples pop.

Super.

Oh, sorry.

Uh--

What about you, Nick?

Please tell me more.

Uh, I'm an investment banker.

I work

in equity capital markets--

I know all that sh*t.

Anna's told me.

Tell me something new,

something I don't know.

Uh, well, what would

you like to know?

You know what I mean.

Tell me something else

you've kept hidden from Anna.

Zoe, I honestly forgot

about those dating profiles.

Really,

I have not been logging on.

I can prove it to you

right now, if you want.

Are you saying

you never lie to her?

No!

Did you tell her about tonight?

You told me not to.

You didn't have

to listen to me, Nick.

Thank you.

What'd you think of our family?

Your parents are very nice.

Oh? Are they?

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean,

they were a bit surprised

about the engagement,

understandably.

I've been protecting Anna

my whole life.

I'm not gonna stop now.

Mm. I appreciate that.

Anna is delicate.

She's had some tough times

in her life.

She deserves to be happy.

What sort of tough times?

I'm not gonna

let you hurt her, Nick.

She's already had

one terrible marriage.

Nearly broke her heart.

I'm sorry.

Sh... she was married?

Is that a problem?

I mean, she just never told me.

Well, you haven't been

exactly upfront with her,

either, have you?

It's okay.

I'm not judging her.

It's just 29's a little young

to already be married

and divorced, that's all.

Hm. Is that how old

you think we are?

How old are you?

I'm not here

to spill Anna's secrets, Nick.

Yeah, why are you here?

Honestly...

I don't know yet.

At first, I thought I was just

gonna be able to tell you

that you're such

an obvious fuckboy,

and to leave my sister alone.

But I'm a little intrigued

by you, Nick.

Did you know that twins

are technically genetic clones?

It's kinda freaky, right?

I guess, yeah.

It's a little freaky.

Are you?

What?

A little freaky?

I'm going to my room.

You're staying here?

Yeah. Gig today paid cash.

Someone hands me cash,

I blow it immediately.

Can't help it.

Don't even want to.

Put this on room 101.

No, come on.

Don't be silly. I got it.

I've never needed a man

to buy me dinner, Nick.

Please, finish your meal,

have dessert, if you want.

Don't forget to stop by

for a nightcap on your way out.

What the f*ck?

Did you know that twins

are technically genetic clones?

It's kinda freaky, right?

I guess, yeah.

It's a little freaky.

Are you?

What?

A little freaky?

Anna?

Guess again.

Oh, f*ck me.

I gotta got to work.

Oh, f*ck.

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

Have a good day

at work, sweetie.

Uh...

bye.

Hey, you.

Hey, you!

I was starting to get worried.

Did you get my texts?

Yeah, I did. Sorry.

Me and the guys

kind of overdid it last night.

Oh, did you have fun?

That stuff's

getting kind of old.

You know, I'd...

rather be with you.

Well, maybe you should hang out

with your friends more often.

You seem so cute

and vulnerable.

I just miss you, that's all.

Well, it just so happens

that this catering company

I'm considering

can squeeze in a tasting

this evening.

You know...

I'm actually not really

feeling that well.

Hangover?

I'm afraid it might be

a bit more than that.

Oh, baby!

Well, I'll just come over

and take care of you.

No, no, no, no.

I... I don't think so.

I mean, the last thing

you need right now

is a cold, right?

You need to stay on top

of this wedding stuff.

You should go tonight.

But I wanna know what you think.

What I think is,

I will love

whatever you pick.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm positive.

Okay,

but if I'm having

trouble deciding,

I'm gonna FaceTime you.

All right.

I'll be standing by.

Oh, don't forget

to call your mom.

I spoke to her today

and she seemed a little lonely.

Right.

I will.

Love you.

I love you too.

Oh!

Oh, my God.

What the f*ck are we doing?

I don't know. You tell me.

You called me.

You got the room this time.

Oh, my God.

I've just been kind of a mess.

Honestly,

with my mom and everything

that's been going on lately...

Nick...

don't ruin it by being needy.

Save that sh*t for Anna.

She can never find out

about this.

I wasn't planning

on telling her.

I'm serious, Zoe.

This would k*ll her.

Probably.

Don't you care about her?

Are you f*cking kidding me?

It's your cum between my legs.

Which one of us

is the bad guy here, Nick?

Oh, no. Hey.

I'm not trying to blame you.

She's my sister.

I'd m*rder somebody for her.

Would you?

Would I m*rder someone for Anna?

I mean, to save her life

or something,

sure, of course.

That's not m*rder, Nick.

Doesn't sound

a lot like love, either.

We can't do this anymore.

All right.

Thanks.

Hi.

Hey.

Wow. Those are beautiful.

Aw. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

This was such a nice surprise.

Uh-oh.

Red roses?

Could mean two things,

it's Valentine's Day,

or a man screwed up.

And it ain't Valentine's Day.

Love the sunglasses!

Isn't she hilarious?

Yeah.

Vera, this is Nick.

Nick, this is Vera.

Hi, Vera.

You know you hit the lottery

with Anna here, right?

Oh, my goodness!

Absolutely. Yeah.

Oh, um, your sister called

while you were at lunch.

I can tell by your face

that she said something bad.

Not bad. She wanted to know

if you were mad at her

for not helping more

with the wedding.

Oh.

That's actually kind of sweet.

Yeah, she told me

she's been too busy,

in her words,

"Smashing the hottest dude."

Oh, my God.

Gave me lots of details.

- I'm so sorry, Vera.

- Are you kidding me?

It's the most fun

I've had all day.

Good meeting you.

Yeah, it's great to meet you.

Isn't she the best?

Yeah, she's funny.

Aw!

What do you think?

Do you think

you can you fit it in?

Huh?

Nick.

Yeah?

Will Wednesday work

for the taste testing or not?

Oh, didn't you already do that?

That was for catering.

This is for the cake.

Are you even

listening to me at all?

Yeah, of course. Sorry.

Hey, I wanna see your eyes.

Are you sure

there's nothing else?

I feel like we still never

talked about certain things.

Oh, like what?

Like significant exes.

Oh.

Well, I thought

that was just because

we're about the future,

not the past.

Right?

Yeah, but...

I was married.

Briefly.

You were?

Yeah. Um...

We broke up

because he slept with Zoe.

What?

Oh, f*ck.

But you forgave her?

She was using at the time.

She was vulnerable,

and he took advantage of her.

He was the one

I couldn't forgive.

Uh, yeah.

Then I met you.

God, I'm so sorry. Come here.

Mm! Whoa, silly!

I work around here.

Save that for later.

Right. I'm sorry.

So are you

thinking something maybe

a little more this style,

ball gown, mermaid?

- Would you excuse me a moment?

- Mm-hmm.

Miss Mercer?

Hi.

Hi!

Can I call you Anna?

Yes, you can.

Yay! Anna, I'm Isabelle.

Hi.

First things first,

let me see your rock.

Oh, um...

Oh, my God, Anna.

Okay, I see a lot

of engagement rings,

but this is breathtaking.

Thank you.

Oh, it's too perfect!

When's the date?

August 19th.

Anna, you are so smart

to get a relatively early

start on things.

I mean,

you are gonna have

an entire year

to make things perfect.

Oh...

it's actually, uh, this August.

Of this year?

Yeah. Is that a problem?

So like, um...

...next month?

Uh-huh.

Oh, my God. Anna.

You can forget about

all of these gorgeous gowns.

The lead time on alterations

is eight months.

Didn't your friends warn you?

You don't have anything

that'll work for me?

I mean, you might be able

to fit into one of our samples,

but I can't promise anything.

Okay?

Lookin' good, sis.

You came!

You know I don't

turn down free fizz.

Do you like it?

It's... pretty.

I think it's gorgeous.

Makes me feel like a princess.

What's that?

My only other option.

I didn't realize

it takes these designers forever

to get a dress ready.

My apologies, Anna.

It's just the way

this business works.

I totally understand.

My God.

You look stunning, though!

I know just the veil for this.

You're gonna trip in that skirt.

Isabelle?

Do you think

the front is too long?

Luckily, that is something

we have time to alter.

We are going to make sure

that everything is perfect

for your big day.

Look at that.

Nothing like a veil

to hide a fragile woman

away from the world.

It's tradition.

It matters to me.

I think we may have

found your dress.

Anna--

- We have.

Are you sure?

Because,

once we make alterations,

there are no returns.

I'm sure.

Oh, my God. Yay!

I'm so happy this worked!

Okay, I am going to go talk

to the seamstress,

because we have

no time to waste.

Okay.

Have you even tried this on?

It's not really me.

Put it on.

Zoe,

it doesn't have a back.

I couldn't wear a bra.

I'd be noticed

for all the wrong reasons.

God forbid

people know you have tits.

God forbid

you're actually seen, Anna.

Please don't do this.

Please.

Can't you just be happy

for me, for once?

Fine.

Oh! Anna.

Nope.

Huh?

Not Anna.

You're the sister.

Hmm, you're quick!

Gonna invite me in?

Sure.

Oh, no, thanks.

Tight on time.

I'm gonna go see this guy

that I'm having an affair with.

I'm sure you've been there.

Right?

No.

Anyway, this isn't about me.

Why didn't you go

to the stupid dress thing?

I have a job,

and my mother's dying,

I don't know if you heard.

Mm.

Anna said it was no big deal.

Of course,

it's a big deal to her!

Combine every fairytale princess

with some psychotic monster,

and that's Anna.

I know her obsession

with happily-ever-after

is pathetic,

but you agreed to be

in the wedding, didn't you?

Yeah--

Well, then you're gonna go

to this dress fitting,

because I'm not going back.

The stupid bitch

at the dress shop

won't even look me in the eye,

so get over yourself

and do your part.

So lovely meeting you.

We're gonna be besties.

Hey.

Hello.

Move, or I'll slit

your pretty little throat.

What'd you say to her?

Told her that you're my fianc.

Bye!

What do you think?

Hmm?

What do you think of the band?

Oh.

I mean, wouldn't it be easier

to just get a DJ?

We talked about this.

I really like

the energy of a live band.

I mean, Zoe might hook up

with the lead singer,

but everyone's supposed

to have fun at a wedding, right?

Yeah.

It's crazy

that you haven't met her.

We need to change that, Nick.

She's my sister.

So, your numbers

are way down, mate.

Probably not the best time

for Bob

or one of the old-timers

catching you banging away

in the elevator, you know?

You saw that?

Yeah, you weren't exactly

being discreet.

Hey, Anna winked at me.

Rebecca,

I'm so glad that you came.

I know that wedding dresses

aren't exactly your thing,

but I think

you're gonna love this one.

Isabelle, this is my soon-to-be

sister-in-law, Rebecca.

There's no coffee

allowed in here,

for obvious reasons,

especially considering

what happened last time,

Miss Mercer.

Last time? I don't understand.

I think you do.

As I'm sure you realize,

we're not going to be able

to make alterations

to the lace gown now.

Why not?

Are you kidding me?

It's ruined!

It... it looks like somebody

cut it on purpose.

It wasn't like that

when I tried it on.

You saw me in it.

I did, but I wasn't with you

when you took it off.

Y... you think that I did this?

Somebody must've

tried it on after me.

No. No, I brought it

right back here after you left.

We thought maybe you split it

when you took it off.

By accident, I mean.

Maybe that's what happened.

I'll pay for it, of course,

and, uh...

well, I'm gonna be needing

another dress, so, uh...

do you still have that backless

one that you showed me?

I do. Great!

I will go grab that for you.

Are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine.

Yeah, um...

the other one is stunning too.

It's the one

that Zoe wanted me to get.

Hello?

Alexia? Is that you?

Hey, I thought

I heard someone in here.

You okay?

All I ever wrote about

in my diaries was Zoe.

It's like I didn't even exist

without her.

I'm... I'm worried

that this wedding is causing you

too much stress.

Dad, I'm serious, don't.

It's not the wedding.

Nick is the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

No, I'm sure he is.

It's not the wedding. It's Zoe.

I love her so much,

you know that.

That'll never change.

But I think it's finally

time for me

to come out

from under her shadow.

Really?

Yeah.

Come here, baby. Come here.

That's really great.

That's really,

really great, honey.

Ice cream and rom-coms?

Can you be

any more of a clich, Anna?

Why'd you do it?

I did you a favor.

You'll look hot

in the skimpy dress.

I was just trying to help you.

That's what I always do.

That's what you tell yourself,

but you just use it

as an excuse to be cruel to me,

even though I love you

more than

anyone else in the world.

Maybe because I love you more

than anyone else in the world.

Nothing more boring

than amateur therapy.

I'll be in my room...

masturbating.

It's not working anymore,

all those things that you say

to make me feel uncomfortable.

I'm starting to not care, Zoe.

I don't even care

if you come to the wedding.

Maybe I won't.

Jesus!

I didn't know you smoked.

Oral fixation.

No, thank you.

Talked to Anna

about her last marriage.

She said that you were

the cause of the breakup.

His dishonesty was the cause.

He failed the test.

Is that what all this has been?

A test that I've failed?

Yeah.

But I f*ckin' love you.

You love me?

I mean, I love f*cking you.

Don't be weird.

We could go away right now...

just disappear.

Zoe...

Are you just... are you just

f*cking messing with me?

Or are you asking me to choose

between you and Anna?

You know you have to,

eventually.

Do you want me

to choose for you?

I could walk away right now,

or I could tell her,

and she'd f*cking run away.

Do you want me to end it?

f*cking pathetic.

A mother should be

the most important person

in the world to a baby.

I wasn't.

They needed each other

more than anyone...

more than anything.

The only way

they could have been closer

is if they were conjoined.

Zoe was always

a little bit more like me,

impulsive and a little wild.

Of course my own rebellion

was small fry

in comparison,

but Anna was always

Daddy's little girl.

The world sometimes

seemed too tough for her.

I can't tell you

how many times she's fallen

for some womanizing bastard.

She puts up with their nonsense.

Sometimes, she even expects it!

Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi, David.

This is Rebecca, Nick's sister.

Oh.

Hi.

Oh, hi, hi.

Nice to meet you, Rebecca. Hi.

Uh, everything all right?

Yes, David. People...

people visit each other.

Rebecca just wanted to meet us

and... and hear some old stories

about Anna.

Ah, okay. I see.

I see, I see.

Okay. Well, I... I actually

have a few stories

that I'd like to share.

I don't think

there's anything more

you could possibly add. I mean,

I've just been

talking your ear off.

I'm so sorry.

Okay, well, maybe then

we can speak

for just a few moments

before you leave?

Is that all right, Rebecca?

- Sure.

- Okay, great.

Is there something wrong?

Alexia?

It's not Zoe's fault.

What's not Zoe's fault?

You know, this...

this whole thing,

with Zoe and your brother.

Oh, Rebecca?

Is everything okay?

We need to talk.

Hey, Anna.

I know everything!

Anna, listen to me. I'm gonna...

I'm gonna come

talk to you, okay?

I don't wanna

see you ever again!

No, baby, hey.

I... I... I can explain this.

Okay, I can--

Anna?

Anna? Anna. Anna!

You okay, mate?

f*ck, man! I'm a f*cking idiot.

Are you okay?

What happened?

No, no. Are you k--

Pick up the phone.

It's Zoe.

No rambling.

What happened?

I f*cked up, man!

What the f*ck

have I been thinking?

I can't let her go, man.

I have to get over there.

You've reached Anna Mercer.

Please leave a message.

You've reached Anna Mercer.

Please leave a--

f*ck!

Anna?

Anna?

Anna?

Anna?

Oh...

Oh!

Anna?

Oh, my God.

Anna? Anna, baby.

Anna? Anna!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Help! Somebody, help me!

Anna... Anna!

Anna. Oh...

Anna. Oh.

Enough, Nick.

I don't wanna have

to use this again,

but I will,

if you don't shut the f*ck up.

What have you done?

What the f*ck have you done?

You wanted me to end it.

No. No!

You said you wanted me

to choose for you, Nick.

No. No, no, no, no!

No!

Over.

That's what you said to me.

You wanted it over.

Honestly,

when I told her about us,

I thought she might

save us the effort...

but she put up a fight.

It's sad.

How could you do this to her?

How could you do this?

You broke her heart, Nick.

She was too good

for this world.

We both know that.

This?

It was mercy.

You're insane!

Don't call me that.

I don't like it.

Stay the f*ck away from me.

Stay the f*ck away from me!

We're in this together, Nick.

No, we're f*cking not!

I'm calling the police.

You sure you wanna do that?

Yes.

Even though your fingerprints

are on the Kn*fe

that stabbed your fiance?

f*ck you!

No, they're not.

Yeah, they are, Nick.

It was easy enough to do

when you were unconscious.

I have it somewhere safe.

Just in case.

Look at your sleeves, Nick.

That's her blood.

I took the liberty

of scratching you

with her fingernails.

Can't argue with DNA, Nick.

I knew it was wrong, Officer!

But I loved him.

I tried to break it off.

I did! I tried.

I had to tell Anna.

I just couldn't do it anymore.

I told her,

and then he went crazy!

He stabbed her.

He stabbed her

right in front of me!

Stop.

Oh, my sweet sister!

It's my fault!

I loved Anna...

more than anyone else

in the world...

but I gave her up, Nick.

For us.

You know that she could

never satisfy you

the way that I can.

We're meant to be together.

Here, baby.

I have it

all figured out, Nick.

There's a building

on the east side

that has an incinerator.

You can pull up to it

right through the garage.

I know the code.

How?

I used to f*ck the security guy.

He had great pecs.

There's no cameras.

Wouldn't be the first time

someone used this place

to make a problem disappear.

Problem?

It's Anna.

Not anymore, Nick.

She's gone.

I need you to focus.

Don't stop anywhere else,

no matter what.

We don't need you being seen.

Tomorrow, this is just gonna

seem like a really bad dream.

I promise.

I can't do this!

Yes, you can.

Think about

your poor mother dying

while you rot in prison

for murdering sweet, sweet Anna.

You and I

are connected, Nick...

more than you and Anna

ever were.

Hey, sleepyhead.

Come and eat.

You must be starving.

Will you start eating already?

You're making me

feel self-conscious.

So, I was thinking.

Would it be too much

to serve heart-shaped pancakes

at the wedding?

The wedding?

I mean, it is sort of our thing.

I mean, it is sort of our thing.

You broke her heart, Nick.

Nick? Hey.

Is ever... is everything okay?

Um, no, sir.

No, um...

nothing's okay.

Um, come... come with me.

Yeah. Let's just go

into the office.

All right, have...

have a seat over here.

Here.

Here you go, Nick. Here.

Yeah?

Um...

I'm sorry.

What is it?

Your daughter's dead.

No, no.

Anna? No! How? No.

I'm not even sure

which one of 'em--

No. What happened?

What happened?

Tell me what happened.

Zoe k*lled Anna.

What are you talking about?

Or maybe it was Anna

who k*lled Zoe.

No. What? No.

It sounds crazy.

All I know

is that one of them's dead.

It's my fault. I was...

I was having an affair

with Zoe...

and I... I know

there's no excuse.

I'm going to the police,

but I just--

I needed to tell you first.

I'm so, so sorry.

Oh, my God. All right, Nick.

I, um...

now, I don't exactly know

what happened here,

but I... I think I understand.

What?

Zoe...

Zoe d*ed three years ago.

No.

She did, Nick.

She... she stabbed herself

after a very bad breakup.

The girl had-- She had a flair

for the dramatic, okay?

All the way to the bitter end.

And Anna? Anna was the one

who found her.

Just like Zoe intended.

They call it

"su1c1de

as aggressive retaliation."

No.

Retaliation for what,

I have no f*cking idea,

because Anna was...

was completely devoted

to her sister.

She... she would've

done anything for her.

No. No, I don't...

I don't believe you.

Unfortunately,

it's not just my truth.

It's the truth.

No, it's not the truth, okay?

I know Zoe!

What you're saying,

it's... it's impossible.

A little, uh, over I'd say

about two years ago,

I asked the police for...

a copy of this...

of this photo right here.

Okay?

Now, having the... the photo

of your child's body

in your own desk,

let me tell you something,

it... it weighs on you, Nick.

I mean, how could it not?

But having it, it's become

a grim necessity for me,

because any time

that... that Anna--

that she'd become Zoe around me,

I'd take it out,

I'd show it to her.

It would be brutal,

but it would do the trick.

She'd stop, okay?

At least around me.

Alexia, unfortunately,

still indulges her.

What do you mean,

"Anna would become Zoe"?

I mean exactly that.

It's weak.

You should know yourself

better than anyone.

You just met him.

I mean, what the f*ck, Anna?

I can't--

Anna, she couldn't--

she wouldn't let Zoe stay dead,

Nick, and--

and it all started simply,

okay--

Stop, stop!

She wanted to sleep

in Zoe's bed, yes.

She wanted to drive her car

and wear her clothes. Okay?

She even bought this dress,

this one here, that...

that Zoe

k*lled herself in, okay?

And then she started talking

to Zoe.

It's not really me.

Zoe, there's no back.

I couldn't wear a bra.

I'd be noticed

for all the wrong reasons.

It wasn't until

she started talking as Zoe,

that's when I realized

how unhealthy she'd become.

You're friends

with the f*cking pigeons,

and you're looking at me

like I'm the assh*le?

I'm so sorry.

She's not normally like that.

Your pigeons are adorable.

By then--

What are you...

What are you trying to say?

She's... she's schizophrenic?

No, I... I'm saying she's still

grieving, Nick, okay?

I'm not sure

if the label matters.

No, no, no. No, man!

It's more than that,

what she's done, it's vicious!

Unless I'm misunderstanding,

you thought you were cheating

on your fiance

with her sister, right?

David, why? Why...

why didn't you tell me this?

I genuinely hoped

that... that your relationship,

that it would snap her

out of all of this

and then put--

Yeah, but it didn't,

and now your daughter

has m*rder*d someone!

- No, she hasn't, Nick.

- I walked in

to this same thing.

She recreated it exactly,

then someone hit me from behind

and knocked me out.

Help! Somebody, help me!

Oh!

When I came to,

there was a body

rolled up in the rug.

I thought that it was Anna's.

Nick, she... she tricked you.

Okay. But there's

still a real body!

How do you know that?

Because I held the hand!

Maybe that was... that was

a friend who's in on the prank,

probably the same person

who knocked you out.

Oh!

It's okay, Ivan.

He's a very bad man.

We're just teaching him

a lesson.

Whoever it was is dead!

How can you be sure of that?

Because I dumped

the f*cking body!

She's duped us all

at any one point--

David, I dumped her body

into an incinerator.

Okay? I know it's insane.

I still can't believe

that I did it,

but I... I did it, and now s...

someone is dead.

Jesus Christ.

I guess... I guess your sister,

I guess... I guess

she had every right

- to be worried about you.

- What?

My sister?

Yeah, sh... she came here,

yesterday,

and Alexia wasn't

straightforward with her,

but I told her everything.

I even showed her the photo.

Daddy has told

Nick's sister everything.

She's coming over to see you.

Rebecca.

Is everything okay?

Uh, we need to talk.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Look at my two men...

getting to know each other.

Anna, Anna--

No, w-- Nick, wait, wait.

No, no, stop. Stop.

Get out of my way.

Anna!

Okay, no, Nick, no, wait!

Stop! Stop, stop!

Let me talk to her.

She m*rder*d my sister!

Don't listen to him, Daddy.

He m*rder*d his sister.

They were fighting

over their mom's money!

It was really her in the rug?

Is Rebecca really dead?

Anna, tell me--

Don't listen to him.

The police showed me

security footage of him

getting rid

of his sister's body.

I came here to warn you and Mom!

He's crazy!

Why?

Why? Rebecca didn't do

anything to you!

Oh, my God. Think of my mom!

I am the one that checked in

on your mom the most.

She's lucky to have me, Nick.

No, Nick. No, Nick, stop!

No, no, no.

Let go of me!

No, stop. Nick, no! Nick!

No!

David?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay.

Anna!

Darling!

What's happened?

Are you all right?

Everything's gonna be all right.

What happened? Did you get hurt?

Even when you were little, Zoe,

you were always afraid

of the thunderstorms.

That's Anna.

She is Anna with you.

She can be Zoe with me.

She is whoever she wants to be!

Why, Anna?

Why'd you do any of this?

All I did... was love you.

You cheated on me.

I cheated... with you!

Don't you get that?

Are you f*cking insane?

Don't call me that!

Are you-- I only cheated--

David, do something!

It's all right. Anna. Anna?

Can you... you tell me

what happened right now.

Okay? Right now.

When you're in love

with somebody

and they cheat on you,

it's the worst feeling

in the world.

What are you talking about here?

You know exactly

what I'm talking about!

None of this is about me.

It's all about you!

When Zoe and I were little,

she caught you

with one of your mistresses.

It damaged her.

She was never the same

after that.

Infidelity

has consequences.

That's... that's in the past.

Baby, we... we've worked

through this, okay?

Oh, we have. Yes, we have.

And Zoe-- honey, Zoe...

Zoe, she was a lost cause, okay?

She was, but you're not, okay?

And we can help you, honey.

We can.

I love you.

Baby, come here.

Come here, honey.

I love you so much, baby.

You shouldn't have favorites.

No! What have you done?

No, no! No, no, no! No!

Call somebody!

Please call someone! Please!

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Anna, please put down the Kn*fe.

Stop. Stop!

No!

Stop.

Come on! Come on!

Hurry!

He stabbed his sister!

Then he...

That's him!

He k*lled my husband!

Drop the w*apon!

Drop it now!

Hands in the air!

Lie face down on the ground.

Keep your hands

where I can see 'em.

Lie down! Now!

Cuff him.

Anna Mercer confirmed

the Kn*fe is from her kitchen.

Both the mother

and the daughter saw him

k*ll the father.

He's going away for m*rder one.

Officer, you can take him.

Mom?

Yes, darling?

Do you think

Zoe will ever forgive me?

Forgive you for what?

I don't think

I can say it.

It's really bad.

Sure you can, honey.

It's my fault.

I'm the reason that Zoe

hurt herself with the Kn*fe.

What do you mean?

I slept with her boyfriend.

You remember Scott?

The only one she ever loved?

I wish I could take it back.

It's okay.

I'll talk to her.

You're her twin sister.

There's no greater bond

than that.

It can never be broken.
