After She Died (2022) Movie Script

1
[crickets chirping]
[indistinct argument
between man and woman]
[argument continues]
[Isabel]
...washing down,
or something, anything!
-[John] [unintelligible]
this shit every fucking day!
-[Isabel] Oh!
[John]
You think we're in this place
if it wasn't for me?
[Isabel]
Don't act like you could afford
this house all on your own.
If it wasn't for me,
you'd be evicted in a week.
[argument continues]
[Jen]
Guys! Can you shut up?
I have an exam tomorrow.
[Isabel]
Sorry. We're sorry.
We'll try to be quiet.
[knocking]
Jen.
Jen, can I come in?
Yeah.
[Isabel chuckling]
[slow piano music]
[priest]
From dust you came
and dust you shall return.
Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior
shall rise you up
on your last day.
Lord God, our Father in heaven,
have mercy on us.
At the moment of death
and our last day,
save us.
Merciful and gracious, your God.
[car accelerating]
[John]
I can't believe you're making me
miss the actual burial.
Do you know how selfish that is?
[Jen]
I ask you for one day, Dad.
Just don't put the funeral
on this one day.
Look, it's starting.
Could you just stop here?
[John]
What? Now I can't come with you?
[Jen]
Just meet me in there.
All right? Look, it's starting.
[birds chirping]
[school bell ringing]
-[Louis] You guys have heard
the new rumor, right?
-[Ash] New rumor?
[Louis]
About Principal Crandall.
-Okay, so Jackie saw her
at the gym.
-[Cameron] Don't feed
-into his bullshit.
-Hup-hup-hup-hup-hup!
Hey, let me have this.
Apparently, her body is like
mangled like Frankenstein's
monster or some shit.
-Oh, yeah? Says who?
-[Louis] Says me.
Yeah. I was watching, the,
that whole speech, you know,
-trying to spot the scars--
-[Cameron] The whole speech,
really?
Yeah, yeah. [chuckles]
Don't look at me like that.
Remind me why we hang out
with you again.
You know that
weird swelling sensation
-you get when you see me?
-[Cameron] Fear?
-[Louis] Ah, that's love.
-[Cameron] No.
-[Cameron] Yeah.
-[Louis] Hey, Jen.
You're coming
to the party tonight, right?
-No, she's not.
-[Louis] What?
-She's lame.
-[Louis] Oh, boo! You suck.
[Louis]
You gotta be coming
to Nathaniel's on Friday then.
Um...
-Uh, she's gonna say it.
-[chuckles]
-[Cameron] Don't say it.
-She's gonna say it,
a 100 percent.
-Maybe.
-[Louis exclaims]
Hey, given the opportunity,
I'd ditch these
two idiots as well.
[Cameron]
Jen, ignore Ash. You're coming.
You can't leave me alone.
Uh, alone. [chuckles]
You have me.
Please.
The day you get in my pants
is the day the world ends.
[Pam]
Cameron.
Well, I'm gonna go
Wait.
We're doing tomorrow, yeah?
Tomorrow?
Oh. Yeah, yeah. No, of course.
Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.
[chuckling lightly]
-[indistinct]
-[Cameron whispers] Thank you.
I didn't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything.
I know, but...
I'm so sorry.
I'm so fucking sorry.
[John breathes heavily]
It was all for nothing,
wasn't it?
I'll meet you in the car.
[breathing shakily]
[melancholic piano music]
[water running]
[melancholic piano music]
[melancholic piano music]
[tapping]
[sniffles]
[eerie music]
[upbeat music]
How do you afford all of this?
-Well, the records.
-Mm.
I have a job, Jen.
Did you know about that thing
called employment, right?
No. Do you want
to tell me about it?
Hey, I think I'm gonna move out.
What, why?
'Cause I got in.
[Jen]
You got in?
Yeah.
Sydney Uni.
Oh, my God.
That, that-- That's great.
Um...
Louis is gonna miss you.
Unless he's going
with you as well.
[Cameron]
Please, not you too.
[chuckles nervously]
Yeah, don't worry. My dad still
thinks he's my secret boyfriend.
Have you told your mom yet?
-Not exactly.
-Good luck.
She'll chain me up in my room
before she lets me leave.
[Jen]
Yeah.
You should look into it.
What? Chaining you up?
[Cameron]
No.
Getting out of town.
Yeah, I don't know.
Haven't really
looked at unis yet.
-It's been hard.
-You should.
Might have
an actual life, right?
You're better than this town.
We all are.
[exhales]
[sighs]
Hey.
You wanna see what I got?
Ta-da.
You want some?
When did you start smoking?
Mmm. Since Ash is,
which surprise, surprise.
You went up.
You know.
She's moving to Sydney Uni, too.
So, at least,
I'll have one friend.
-Ash is going to Sydney Uni?
-Yeah.
Well,
I didn't think
you two were close.
Hey, can you open the window?
Sure.
[Cameron coughs]
[Cameron]
Sure you don't want some?
[Jen]
No.
[rumbling]
[Cameron]
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck is that?
[Jen]
Dad.
[agonizing music]
[retching]
[spits]
[sudden sinister music]
[subtle rumbling]
[ambulance siren echoing]
Jen.
I thought you're at Cameron's.
I was. But the fires... Are you?
Yeah, but-- It's, it's all
under control. It's fine.
We're good.
[ambulance siren echoing]
[unintelligible, echoing]
Actually... [sighs]
Uh...
There's somebody
I'd like you to meet.
[violin strings]
[John]
Jen.
This is my girlfriend, Florence.
What?
Hi, Jen.
It's nice to meet you.
I don't understand. Wh--
[John]
I'm sorry to spring this on you,
but well, shit.
I don't know what to say.
[echoing] Florence is going
to be living with us
for a while.
The fires
did some damage, some serious
damage in Florence's house.
She has nowhere else to go.
Oh, Jen.
Are you okay?
You're looking sick.
John, get a chair.
[John]
Jen, sit, you okay?
[inaudible]
[Florence]
So, Jen, are you,
you just graduated?
Ah, yeah.
[Florence]
That's exciting.
It's when everything starts
to really make sense, you know,
Have you applied for unis yet?
Ah, no.
I don't know yet.
Not yet.
[Florence]
How come?
[John]
Because she's the most
indecisive person I know.
As she spent so long
weighing her options,
-she ends up
breaking the scales.
-[both chuckle]
Sounds like her father.
Yeah, but seriously,
what did your teachers say
you're going to be?
A scientist, right?
[sighs]
[Jen]
Microbiologist.
But just because he says that
doesn't mean I actually
want to do that.
They teach that around here?
-I think so.
-Not really.
Well, I could never really
get into science.
Florence majored in hospitality,
and she's a great musician, too.
Actually, you both
play the piano, right?
-Maybe you could
play it together sometime.
-Definitely.
No.
[Jen]
I'm good.
Well, I like the sounds
of a microbiologist.
That's far more impressive than
a firefighter, that's for sure.
Hey.
You see how many fires
there been around you?
[Florence]
And have you seen how much
a scientist makes in a year?
You know, Jane volunteers
down at the shelter sometimes.
We thought, what's his name?
That boy?
-Louis.
-Right.
Louis.
A "friend." [chuckles]
Oh, Dad. Why do you
always think we're dating?
[John]
I'm just saying.
No, you're assuming.
[John]
He's the only guy in your life.
Can I get a break
from wanting you to be happy?
No, you can't. Okay, we--
He's just my friend.
That's it.
Oh, Florence.
-If you ever want
to help down there--
-Dad.
-[Florence] What?
At the shelter?
-[John] Yeah.
Oh, what a great idea.
-When are you there next?
-[John] Tomorrow.
You and Jen can go out together.
-You can help at the shelter--
-Dad, I'm sure
she has much better things
to waste her time--
We could do it together
like a real family.
Don't call us that!
[sighs heavily]
I--
It's okay.
I think that went well.
[watch beeps]
Excuse me.
Of course.
[sinister music]
[crying]
-Oh, come on, come on.
-[phone ringing]
[exhales] Please, please,
please, please, please. Pick up.
[sinister music stops]
[chain rattling at a distance]
[person coughs]
[woman coughs, straining]
[woman continues to strain]
[woman strains]
[woman continues straining]
Louis.
You're home late.
I, uh...
[door moves]
Use your words.
Have you gone full retard on me?
[tap squeaks]
[Fletcher]
How was graduation?
That was like two days ago, Dad.
[Fletcher]
Huh, yeah, right.
Friends left you yet?
Should they have?
[Fletcher]
After high school,
then you find out
who your real friends are.
[eerie music]
[birds chirping]
[phone vibrating]
-Hello.
-[Cameron] Jen.
Cameron.
Cameron, are you okay?
[bad connection] Jen,
I don't know if you can hear me
I'm just gonna talk, but--
Yeah, I'm here.
[Cameron]
I'm at my Grandma's.
Fires-- pass-- and--
help me-- get back.
-Is she okay?
-[phone disconnects]
-Cameron, are you there?
-[phone disconnects]
[sighs]
[John]
Have a good day.
I'll see you tonight.
[Jen]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Dad!
Dad! Dad! Wait!
[swift footsteps approaching]
Dad, wait!
Where are you going?
I'm going to work.
I have a piano lesson.
Okay?
Ah.
Shit.
All right. Sorry, I was meant
to give you a lift.
Yeah.
-[Florence] I can take her.
-[abrupt sinister tone]
[John]
Are you sure?
Of course.
If that's okay with you, Jen?
Sure.
That settles it.
See you both tonight.
Dad.
[melancholic piano music]
Is it her?
Is she Mom?
Nothing can replace your mom.
-You don't mind if we speak in--
-Uh...
No.
[slow piano music]
That was good, Jen.
One note doesn't take away
from the whole song.
You just need
to practice at home.
Invest in a keyboard.
Anything.
Jen?
Are you okay?
[Jen]
Yeah. Um...
Can-- Can we do this again?
I just want to get it
right this time.
[slow piano music]
[piano music continues]
Here's your blanket.
-Do you reckon will ever
get Cameron down here?
-[Jen] Hmm.
-Doubt it.
-[laughs]
Ooh! Maybe we can burn
her house down.
[chuckles]
I, I am so sorry for your loss.
[man]
Yo, Louis! Come on.
-[Louis] Coming.
-[Florence] Jen.
Hey.
Just line 'em up. Li--
Line these up like me.
-[woman] Excuse me.
-I fell like more abstract--
-No, no, no, no, no.
-[woman] Excuse me,
-do you work here?
-Line these up. I saw her do.
[woman]
Um, I've just arrived and
I'm not sure what I should do.
Yeah, regis-- registration's
at the front.
-No.
-[woman chuckles]
Oh, no. I'm a volunteer.
Okay, I'll bring in, bring in.
Oh, my bad.
[man]
Why don't you hand
these out there?
What did you say your name was?
[woman]
I'm Florence.
[slow eerie music]
I didn't know
you volunteered here.
Ah! Yeah, my dad makes me
volunteer. [chuckles nervously]
That sounds really bad. I...
I like volunteering.
I am gonna shut up now.
Why are you so awkward?
[chuckles]
Ouch.
No, don't. I...
I like awkward.
[slow eerie music]
[indistinct conversation]
Jen.
-[crushing]
-[man screaming]
Bitch, you fucking bitch!
-Look what you did--
Fucking did to me!
-[Florence] I was just--
[man screaming]
Look what you just
fucking did to my finger!
-Look, what you
just fucking did!
-I was just doing what you said.
-Fuck! That's not what I said!
-[Florence] I'm just trying
to help!
Helping? You think
this fucking helps, huh?
[Florence]
I can fix it. Let me fix it.
Let me snap it back into place.
No, no, no, no, no!
Get the fuck away from me!
Get the fuck out of here!
[slow eerie music]
[Jen]
Florence!
Florence!
Florence! Wait!
[eerie music]
Florence! Wait!
[eerie music continues]
Jen.
Have you come to save my soul?
[people whispering]
[Isabel]
It's here.
[drop falls]
[Isabel]
Save me, Jen.
Set me free.
[sinister music]
[screams]
[laughing]
[breathing heavily]
[eerie music]
[male voice echoing]
This is no place for the living.
[breathes heavily]
[Sheep-Man]
Come on.
Step into the light.
[eerie music]
[Jen panting]
[Jen screaming in Spanish]
Florence!
Florence, please!
Please, please, please!
Florence, what are you doing?
[Jen yells]
Florence!
Florence!
No! No! No, Florence!
Please, please,
please, please, please.
Florence!
Isabel!
Hi, Jen.
[Isabel]
What are you doing here?
What the hell is going on?
I was just getting
some fresh air.
Are you kidding me?
That's your--
That's your fresh air?
Of course.
Come on, it's getting late.
We should get back.
Wait!
[stutters]
Are you okay?
Of course.
[Florence whispering]
Where is it? Where is it?
[Florence panting, grunting]
It's here.
It's-- It's gotta be here.
Florence.
[Florence breathes heavily]
Florence. [speaks in Spanish]
[Florence grunts]
It's here. It's got to be here.
[breathing heavily]
Give it to me.
[crushing]
Give it
to me.
Sweetie.
I just need my necklace back.
No.
[grievously]
Please give me back my necklace.
Please. We can live happily
as mother and daughter again.
Just like you wanted.
Just hand me my necklace.
I'm sorry.
[Florence]
I know.
[crushing]
Mother always knows.
[screams]
[rattling]
Jen! [panting]
[suspenseful music]
What did you do?
Mom.
[thunder]
[phone vibrating]
Hello.
Are you serious?
[John]
Who else knows about this?
[man]
Just me.
[John]
Good.
I want this to stay between us.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
If people come asking...
It's fine.
Like you said,
nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
Got a shovel?
[slow piano music]
[knocking on door]
[Louis]
Jen, it's Louis.
Jen, I need to talk to you.
Jen! It's imp--
Hello.
Are you here to see Jen?
Yeah.
She home?
[Florence]
She will be.
Any minute now.
Come inside.
You can wait for her here.
No.
It's okay. Um...
[clicks tongue]
I'll wait in my car.
I have...
air conditioning.
Please.
I insist.
Okay.
Sure.
Why not?
So what brings you
around to see Jen?
I...
just wanna talk.
About what?
Oh.
Sorry, where are my manners?
I shouldn't snoop.
It's personal.
Please.
[drags chair]
Take a seat.
What was your name again?
Louis.
Louis.
Hmm.
I've heard about you.
Yeah.
Something tells me
we've met before.
[chuckles lightly]
I don't know about that.
I'm Florence.
Florence?
Huh.
John's new girlfriend.
Jen's dad. He, uh--
[Louis]
Yeah.
I've met John.
Wow.
Look at you.
In with the whole family.
Yeah, sure.
I know I shouldn't ask this.
[Louis]
Ask what?
[Florence]
It's personal.
Let's hear it anyway.
Are you single?
-Are you flirting?
-[Florence chuckles] Me?
No, no, no, no. I just--
You know, you're a handsome man.
Ah.
So you are flirting.
Careful, Louis.
Jen's single, too, and...
John's told me that
there's a little thing going on.
Secret crush, maybe?
Did he now?
[Florence]
Well...
Is it true?
I don't know what reality
John's living in.
No.
It's not sure
Hmm.
A shame.
She's a pretty girl.
Hmm, yeah.
She takes after her mother.
[eerie music]
[music stops]
[Florence]
You look tired.
You need to sleep.
My mom used to say that to me
all the time. Never worked.
Well, maybe she's not good
at being your mom, then.
She was.
She is.
Did my comment upset you?
What did you mean by "was?"
You're getting
a little personal there.
[Florence]
Is she no longer around?
I didn't think
the dead would allow that.
[eerie music]
[crushing]
I guess they do.
You're not alone, are you?
[Louis]
Technically,
no.
You live with your father?
It's...
complicated.
[Florence]
Ah.
You don't get along.
What time did you say
Jen was getting back?
You're reflecting.
You do that a lot, you know?
[sighs]
Jesus, I didn't know
this was a therapy session.
You talk like you're in pain.
-I'm just trying to help.
-I don't need help.
No.
You need a mom.
[quirky music]
-Hi.
-Hi.
[Florence]
Jen, hi.
Your friend Louis is here.
We're just getting
to know one another.
-Yeah, I can see that.
-[Florence chuckles lightly]
[John]
Oh. Hey.
[clears throat]
How-- How's it going?
Jen, can I talk to you?
Yeah.
Privately.
[Jen]
What's going on?
What are you doing here, Lou?
[Louis woefully]
Why didn't you tell me, Jen?
Because I just had a chat
with your dead mom.
She is my dad's
new girlfriend, Florence.
-Don't bullshit me.
-I'm not.
You're better than that!
I'm telling you the truth.
Okay?
Look, I know
what this looks like.
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
Look, why are you
even angry about this?
What has any of this
-got to do with you?
-I'm not angry!
[sighs] Jen.
I went to her grave.
You what?
Her coffin's empty.
-And then--
-You dug up
-my mom's grave?
-And--
-Why would you do that?
-I don't even know
how to describe it.
It?
No, no, no, no, no,
the situation, all of this.
Look, she spoke to me
like she doesn't know me, but...
Jen, I need you to tell me
how you did it.
I didn't do anything, Louis.
[inhales]
Please, Jen.
I can't take this anymore.
I need you to tell me
what's going on.
I need my mom back.
[sighs]
Look, I don't know
what's going on.
I don't know about any of this.
About Florence, or Cameron,
or us,
I don't know.
What's Cameron
got to do with this?
She's leaving
What?
When?
Sometime in the new year.
She's moving to Sydney with Ash.
I mean, she told me
that she was helping
her grandma with the fires,
but I saw her today.
So maybe this is just
a way of telling me to get lost.
Don't, don't say that, don't--
[Jen]
Look, maybe it's true.
Maybe I deserve this.
I mean, my mom died,
and nobody really cared.
Well, Florence is here,
and I keep trying to act
like I'm okay,
and everything
is totally normal,
but I don't know how to do that.
I don't know how
to get back to normal.
Not really.
Jen.
This can be no more.
You can let us go back
to normal. You can let...
all of us go back to normal.
No, Louis.
Things are different now.
I just need to know
if it's right.
[rattling]
[eerie music]
[squelching]
[Jen]
What do you do with them?
[Sheep-Man]
They are the new life.
Are you human?
[Sheep-Man]
Sometimes.
You're here
because of your mother.
Do you...
Do you bring
the dead back to life?
[Sheep-Man]
I save them,
so you have to let go.
Those mothers and fathers
who still hold on.
But she, she'd been dead
for weeks.
We had a...
We had a funeral.
[Sheep-Man]
When your father came to me,
he knew the risks.
He knew he waited too long.
And I could not stop it.
Florence.
Why did she come here
the other night?
[male voice echoes]
When a child is lost,
they returned to what they know.
But she, she's not a child.
[Sheep-Man]
Oh, but she is.
Her mind needs time to develop.
She has to learn
who she once was.
He cared for
what you turned into.
Is there a way to fix that?
Make everything okay again?
[Sheep-Man]
Your mother lives. No.
It's not the same.
[Sheep-Man]
She's alive.
[unintelligible]
Do what you can.
They burn you down.
I'll see you in the next life
you want to keep.
-[Jen exclaims]
-Who the hell was that?
[Jen]
Louis!
Are you stalking me?
Wait, did he bring her back?
He did, didn't he?
Huh?
-Leave me alone, okay?
-Hey, hey! Who is he?
That, that, that--
That Sheep-Man.
This isn't gonna bring
your mom back.
Okay? [stuttering]
It doesn't work like that.
But it worked for you!
Your mom's not dead!
[sighs] You don't want this.
-[Louis] But I do!
-No.
I really do this whole--
This whole fucking town
wants this!
Can't you see it? It's just--
It's, it's, it's like
some big, huge--
[Jen]
Conspiracy?
That is the word
you're looking for, right?
This is, this is all just
another one of your
stupid conspiracy theories.
Did he bring her back?
Jen. Did he bring
your mother back?
[Jen exhales]
I'll see you around.
Okay?
What?
Jen, wait!
[snoring]
[whispering] Jen.
[whispering] It's okay, Mom.
Go back to sleep.
I'm sorry I never
got to say goodbye.
[serene music]
What's this?
Something to celebrate
Celebrate what?
[John moaning]
[Florence speaking indistinctly]
[serene music continues]
[sighs]
You got this.
[rattling]
[serene music continues]
Bye, I love you.
Love you, too!
What?
I'm pregnant, Jen.
Your father and I
can have a baby.
[exhales nervously]
[Florence]
Isn't this exciting?
You're not going to be
an only child anymore.
Yeah, that, that's,
that's so great.
[Florence chuckles]
We're gonna be a family again.
[upbeat '80s music]
Well, it's been building up
inside of me
For, oh
I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound
to go wrong
But he looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
When he says
"Don't worry, baby"
Don't worry, baby
Everything will
turn out all right
Don't worry, baby
Don't worry, baby
I guess he should've
kept his mouth shut
When he started bragging
about his car
But he can't back down now
Because he pushed
the other guys too far
I'll make him come alive
And make him wanna
Hi, Jen.
When I say,
"Don't worry, baby"
Hey.
Everything will
Turn out all right
Don't worry, baby
Don't worry, baby
I told him
"Baby, when you race today
Jus take along
my love with you
And if you knew
how much I loved you, baby
Nothing could
go wrong with you"
Oh, what he does to me
When he makes love to me
He says
[cop]
Everyone.
Music off.
You guys are being
too loud in here.
Lou.
Louis.
Am I doing good?
Cops, Lou.
-Fucking cops!
-Oh, shit!
I'm high as fuck.
-Dad's gonna kill me!
-[Cameron] What the fuck!
You're meant
to save me, not you!
[Jen]
Cameron!
[Cameron echoing]
I saw you with Ash.
-[Florence echoing]
You didn't go anywhere?
-[Jen echoing] Yes, we did.
We came back early! I just--
[Jen breathing heavily]
[Ash echoing]
I'm moving on, Jen.
[Jen echoing]
But you can't leave. I like you.
[Jen]
You're all that I have left!
My mom's dead.
[Ash]
What am I supposed
to do about that?
[Jen]
What, you want me to--
[crying]
[Jen]
You're a bad friend.
[Jen straining, weeping]
[Ash]
Yeah, you're a bad friend!
[Ash]
Don't act like this
friendship isn't dying
like your mother did.
[echoing] Cameron!
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
I thought of...
Maybe hoped
that you'd just slip away.
Yeah, well, where else
am I supposed to go?
[car honk]
[glass shattering]
[groans softly]
[straining]
[Jen gasping, shivering]
[straining]
I'm so--
[straining]
[straining]
[strained grunting]
[panting]
[straining]
[groans]
[dripping]
[grunting in pain]
[Florence]
Jen.
Get away from me.
Don't touch me.
Get away from me!
[Florence speaks in Spanish]
[Jen yelping]
No, no!
[struggling]
[Florence]
Come on, open up.
You need your medication.
[straining]
[coughing]
[gasping]
Why are you doing this?
What happened to me?
Nothing a mother can't fix.
[wailing]
She had an accident.
-Oh, God! Is she okay?
-[Florence] She's asleep.
She's okay.
She fell,
She doesn't remember a thing.
Again?
-They said--
-They were wrong.
-You should've called me.
-You should've been here.
Look, I don't want--
I don't want to do
this again, okay?
I don't want to fight.
Of course.
There's no need.
[whispers]
I'm sorry.
Dad.
Jen.
Hi.
Is, is Cameron okay?
[John]
Cameron?
She was in the car.
She was in there with me
when it happened.
Jen.
You were the only one
in the car.
What?
-No.
-[John] Jen, you were drunk.
No.
You were driving alone.
In a truck.
[mumbling] I'm--
-No.
-Hey, hey, hey.
It's, it's okay.
I'm not mad. I'm not mad.
[exhales]
What am I?
What?
What am I?
Did I die?
[John]
Oh, no.
[sighs]
They couldn't...
Not again.
She's trying to replace me.
[sighs]
You need the rest.
[exhales]
You've been through hell,
-Everything--
-[Florence] Everything's
gonna be okay, Jen.
[exhales]
Because we're a family.
[phone ringing]
You've reached Cameron.
Leave a message.
[slow piano music]
[piano music continues]
Enough!
[music ends at low key]
[Florence]
Where are you going?
Why did you play that song?
That was my mother's song.
[Florence]
I should take you
back to your room.
[footsteps approaching]
No.
Yes.
No!
Don't talk back to your mother.
I need to see Cameron.
Why?
Because she's my friend.
Aren't we friends?
She's gonna be here
any minute now to pick me up.
[Florence]
Pick you up?
No. No, no, no.
Let me take you.
No.
No. She's, she'll be here soon.
[Florence]
I insist.
What good is a mother if she's
not there for her daughter?
[bell dings]
[door opens]
Hi, Pam. I'm here
to drop off my daughter.
Oh, Jennifer.
It's so good to see you.
I didn't know
you were coming around.
Ah, is Cameron in here?
Oh, of course, I'll go get her.
[Cameron]
Jennifer.
[suspenseful music]
Hi.
What are you doing here?
-I just wanted to
make sure you're okay.
-[Cameron] Oh.
Well, I don't see why I wouldn't
be, but that's very kind.
Has the Ash visited you?
No, Ash is busy.
She's moving to Sydney,
you know.
So are you.
Me?
Oh, no.
No. I'm staying right here.
I couldn't leave my family.
I think we should go now.
But we only just got here.
I just wanted to say hi,
and I've done it, and let's go.
[Cameron]
Oh, okay.
Well, it was lovely
seeing you, Jennifer.
[Jen]
Yeah.
Your favorite.
And...
beans.
Would you like me
to make you a full plate?
[Fletcher]
I'm dropping some posters
off at your aunt's.
I've spoken to the neighbors.
If they even suspect
you've left this room
for even a second, oh, no.
[Louis straining]
[banging on door]
[wood cracks open]
[eerie music]
[chain jangling]
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[weeping]
Mom.
[Fiona trembling]
[breathing heavily]
[Louis]
What did he do to you?
[Fletcher]
I saved her.
[gasping, trembling]
I thought you forgot the fliers.
[Fletcher]
No one's ever meant
to die in this town.
But she did.
[growling]
And we went there to save her.
[screaming]
She's--
She's in so much pain.
But I'm not.
[crying]
You can't do this, she--
She's still out there.
She's still missing.
We just, we just
have to find her.
No, she died. Lewis!
I found her body,
I brought her back.
This town's brought her back.
[yelps]
The dead woods.
-Is she dead?
-She's safe here with us.
This is all there is, Louis.
[rattling]
We can make this work.
[breathing heavily]
[crying]
[screams]
John, come quick. Jen's hurt.
Jen! Jen!
Jen!
Call an ambulance.
Florence.
Call an ambulance.
Call the fucking ambulance!
[Florence]
She's stable.
This is a good thing.
What kind of fuck
is this a good thing?
She was getting distant.
Refusing our help.
But now we can work together
to be her parents again.
Like a real family.
[John]
I need a fucking drink.
I want her gone.
[Sheep-Man]
You knew the risks.
[John]
She's...
not the same
[Sheep-Man]
Your daughter said
the same thing.
I don't want to be
pretending to--
[clicks tongue]
If we're trying to start
a new family...
[John]
But she left her to die
like it was nothing.
[Sheep-Man]
She's still learning.
Her body accelerates
faster than her mind.
-[John] That's not
what you promised me.
-[Florence grunts]
[John]
You promised me my goddamn wife.
[Sheep-Man]
And I delivered.
Do you like something to eat?
I'd often get you something.
Where's Dad?
He's not here.
I need to talk to him.
You can talk to me.
He's my father.
And I'm your mother.
Why did you do this to me?
Sit tight.
I'll be right back.
[suspenseful music]
[John]
Promise me
you won't bring me back.
I don't give a rat's ass
who comes to you after I die.
Just promise me.
You won't trap me
in this life again.
[Sheep-Man]
You can't just walk in
through life.
Life is beyond control.
I don't give a shit.
You bring people
back from the dead.
[Sheep-Man]
I guide souls to where
they want to go.
[squelching]
[breathing heavily]
[straining]
[suspenseful music]
[screaming in pain]
[Sheep-Man]
I am death.
Death does not die.
But she can.
Don't be so sure.
[straining]
[panting]
[watch alarm beeps]
Hi, baby.
Strange.
I'll get John to pick up
another bottle on his way home.
Now, how about we get
you back downstairs?
It's not safe for you up here.
[Jen grunting]
Easy does it.
[Jen grunting in pain]
[Florence yelping in pain]
You poor thing.
It must hurt so much.
[giggling]
[Florence]
Now let's see.
Hmm.
Yes.
[Jen breathing fast]
Oh, don't worry.
Mommy's gonna make sure
you don't feel a thing.
[metal scraping]
[Jen continues
to breathe heavily]
[metal scraping]
Now, sweetie.
Hold still.
[shrieks]
[crying]
[Jen gasping]
[Jen shrieking]
Hi, honey.
Welcome home.
[shrieking]
[growls, grunts]
[John yelps]
[eerie music]
[Jen struggling]
[wailing]
[thudding]
Aww.
Without your mother?
Oh!
[straining]
[yelping]
[shrieking]
[gasps]
[Jen]
Dad.
Dad, Dad!
-Da-- Dad.
-Jen.
We gotta go.
[sinister dramatic music]
Where's your wheelchair?
[both breathing fast]
[both out of breath]
[Jen gulping]
I'm okay.
So...
Who wants to meet
the newest member of our family?
[eerie music]
[metal scraping]
[both gasping]
Florence.
It's Isabel.
[whispers]
Isabel.
We have a daughter, John.
Don't, don't you want
to meet our daughter?
Isn't she lovely?
It's the daughter
you always wanted.
The daughter you said
you never had.
Would you like to hold her?
What do you think?
She is beautiful.
Hey.
Yes, dear?
[Florence coughs]
[Florence exclaims]
[straining]
Dad!
Dad!
I'm okay.
[Florence echoing]
He tried to kill me.
[crunching]
You tried to kill
your perfect wife.
Who'd pay the bills,
cook your meals,
perfect child.
The only thing you ever wanted
and now you're scared...
[unintelligible]
I can't imagine
the life without you.
It remains the same, am I right?
[eerie violin stringing]
I can't.
Can't what?
[John]
I can't live life without you.
Without your laughter...
There is no life without you.
You'll always be here.
[echoing] Good.
Play me a song.
A song?
Yes.
Like the one you used to play me
when I was a little girl.
Song?
[unintelligible]
Mm-hmm.
[plays the piano]
[Florence continues
playing the piano]
[music picking tempo]
[inhales]
[breath trembling]
[ethereal music]
