Heather (2024) Movie Script
1
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Oh. [ Chuckles ]
You throw the best parties,
Caitlyn.
[ Chuckles ]
Have you lost your wife again?
I've lost many.
And perhaps she's upstairs,
finding a clever way
of becoming ex-wife number four.
Hm.
No, no, no, no. There's --
There's no one in there.
And the party's over.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Oh, I like this one for you.
You can keep them young.
It's the -- It's the cure
to our mortality.
George!
Ah, shit.
Pity.
I guess I'm still married.
[ Chuckling ] Oh, thank you.
Be careful.
-Good night, George.
-Good night.
What the hell?
I've been in the car for,
like, 30 fucking minutes.
-I've been looking for you.
What have you been doing?
Yeah.
[George] I've been looking --
what are you saying?
[Jeselle] I can't.
Finally, alone.
We can go up to the bedroom,
and you can finish
your work there.
[ Chuckles ] No, I'm good.
I didn't want to seem rude
to you and your friends.
[ Caitlyn chuckles ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
You look magnificent.
[ Sighs ]
Nothing but the best
for my baby.
[ Scoffs ]
[ Caitlyn sighs ]
[ Travis sighs ]
What are you doing now?
It's late.
I got to get home.
Sit.
You promised you'd take
advantage of me tonight.
Not sure how much
I have left in me.
[ Chuckling ]
Oh, come on.
I have finals this week.
I've barely had time to study.
Okay. What are you
really worried about?
Haven't I always taken
good care of you?
It's your money wasted
if I fail.
Exactly.
You won't fail.
I was like you.
Couldn't pay for groceries
or rent,
but nothing stopped me.
Worked my way up from nothing.
Five years later,
I owned the largest
real-estate firm
in the Northeast.
Thank you.
You can be anything you want.
Anything you set your mind to.
And you've got me,
so don't blow it.
I can give you the world.
Let's fuck like wild animals.
But she'll see us.
Good. Let her.
Don't pretend to be shy.
[ Cellphone beeping,
vibrating ]
[ Sighs ]
It's probably my mom.
She's always checking on me.
[ Sighs ]
I'd be a mama's boy, too,
if I looked that good.
[ Stammers ]
We'll see how far you get
without me.
[ Travis sighs ]
[ Line ringing ]
[Robby]
Are you at Caitlyn's tonight?
Dude, she's getting
way too possessive.
[Robby] [ Chuckles ]
Well, what did you expect?
Remember that chick
you were telling me about?
[Robby] Remind me.
The one from the reunion.
You said she had a crush on me
from back in the day.
[Robby] Yeah.
She still asks about you.
Well, who is she?
[Robby] Just -- Just some girl
who liked you.
That's it?
[Robby] Dude, I don't know.
From what I remember
in high school,
her parents were strict
as hell.
Middle Eastern or some shit.
I tell you, though,
she definitely blossomed.
I think she might be into kink.
Kink?
[Robby]
Whips. Chains. Cuffs.
How do you know?
[Robby] If you saw the way
she was dressed...
But is she hot?
[Robby] Fuckable, for sure.
What've you got to lose?
Give me her number.
[Robby] Alright.
[ Heather breathing shakily ]
[Heather] "One fire burns out
another's burning.
One pain is lessen'd
by another's anguish."
[ Exhales slowly ]
[Travis] It's the summer before
our senior year of high school.
We're all at this party,
getting wasted,
throwing back everything from
beers to shots, you name it.
Robby is drunk as shit.
He's going on about
wanting to get a tattoo.
Wants to look tough.
So we take him, that night.
[ Travis breathing heavily ]
The fuck?
Oh, where am I?
[Travis] What?
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Grunting ]
Fuck.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Somebody...
talk to me.
Hello?
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Who's there?
[Heather]
How do you like it so far?
Who's that?
Take your time.
What am I doing here?
Where am I?
How'd I get here?
I don't feel right.
Sorry about that.
Wasn't sure how much to give.
You drugged me?
For what?
Look around you.
The world created
by your desires.
So what was it?
It was Roofies?
A little will knock you out.
Too much, and it
can easily kill you.
Was starting to worry when
it took you so long to wake up.
[ Scoffs ]
W-W-W-What is this?
Sorry about the head.
What did you do?
Bumped it trying
to get you here.
Completely accidental,
I assure you.
When did you, uh --
h-how did you even get...
[ Sighs ]
It was the coffee, wasn't it?
Should've known
not to trust a girl
who actually wants to pay
for something.
To know someone,
you must first know yourself.
What are you talking about?
I-I-I don't even know
what's going on here.
Of course you don't,
sweetie.
[Travis] What is that?
That's where
all the bad little boys go.
Oh.
[ Paddle thumps ]
Uh, you know,
pain's not really my thing.
[Heather] Men would pay
top dollar to be where you are.
How'd I get so lucky?
[ Exhales sharply ]
You do know this is
a federal offense, right?
There's no law
against what we're doing.
I'm pretty sure kidnapping
is against the law.
And who's going to believe you?
Hm?
The police?
What are you
going to tell them?
That I beat you up,
dragged you here?
I don't think so.
Let's make sure that
that's all that you do to me.
That's the spirit.
So, uh, do you only do
private sessions
or can I book you for parties?
Do you know why men
go to a dominatrix?
[ Chuckles ]
Who the fuck really cares?
Fuck! Too far.
Aren't we supposed to establish
some kind of safe word?
For release.
Not the sexual kind
you're used to.
I mean,
from their everyday lives --
wife, the kids,
stress at work.
Yeah, but I didn't
come to you for this.
You don't even know
what this is.
Why don't you tell me?
It feels different when
you're not the one in control,
doesn't it?
Seeing you like this
gets me so turned on.
Who are you?
[Heather]
Exactly who I need to be.
What was all that before
at the caf?
That "lonely little girl"
routine you put on.
Who I used to be.
Huh. So what's next?
Whatever I need to be.
Well, I need you to be a good
little girl and let me go.
Where's your sense
of adventure?
So let me see
if I got this right.
You asked me out
on a blind date.
I accept.
For what?
Some sick fantasy of yours?
I've got so much to show you.
[ Chuckles ] I can't wait.
What's next? A car battery?
Nipple clamps?
-A-A-A ball gag?
-Kinky.
Let's get back
to the kidnapping.
And how very bad this is going
to be for you in the end.
I know you're confused,
but trust me,
the sooner
you release control,
the sooner you can leave.
Is that a promise?
I am a woman of my word.
So how's this all work?
It works with you doing
exactly what I say when I say.
And if I don't?
Fuck!
[ Laughing ]
Oh, my God,
this is funny.
Now it's all starting
to make sense.
-What?
-You're not looking for
the right guy or love.
You're turned off
by sex altogether.
This isn't about me.
Yeah, it is.
All this crazy shit?
Not unless she was screwed up
as a kid.
Late-night visits from Daddy?
Maybe it was an uncle.
Some naughty touching?
Parents didn't believe you?
Don't think I didn't see
the scars on your arm.
This is your own
personal therapy
to deal with
your fucked-up family.
Am I right?
[ Cane clatters ]
So what?
Does that mean
our session's over?
Maybe you should be
the one strapped up
on this fucking table.
[ Door closes ]
Fuck.
[Travis] Check this out.
We're at the tattoo shop,
and Robby is completely blitzed
out of his mind.
He's pointing at this dolphin
from the artist book,
and he's like, "That one.
I want that one."
[Heather] What? Why?
I don't know.
H-He's, like, drunk.
He can't even see straight.
And the guy goes
to work on him anyway.
Can he do that?
I might've tossed him
a few extra bucks.
-That's messed up.
-It gets better.
When he wakes up, he realizes
that he has these gay tattoos
-on his shoulder, and he --
-Gay?
Uh...yeah,
so the next day,
he goes back to the tattoo shop
to see if he can get them fixed.
But, you know, all the guy
can do is cover them up.
So he's like,
"I can turn them into whales."
And Robby, not knowing
any better, goes along with it.
But when he's finished,
you know, in the end,
they really just look like
ink blotches...
-Ink blotches.
-...with a big fin on the edge.
[ Chuckles ]
[Travis] Come on.
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Cellphone ringing,
vibrating ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Grunts ] Fuck.
-[ Ringing, vibrating stops ]
-[ Chuckles ]
I'm sorry. I can't come
to the phone right now.
All of my wildest fantasies
have just come true.
-[ Sighs ]
-[ Cellphone chimes, vibrates ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
If you want to talk about your
family, I'm a good listener.
My dad ran off
before I was born.
Never had an uncle.
So why the dramatic exit?
What's in the bag?
Mm.
Hey, d-don't do that.
Mm, Travis.
No password protection.
I've got nothing to hide.
Who's Caitlyn?
A friend.
Let's see what she had to say.
Hey, hey, that's private.
You should...
Mm. [ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ] Why do you care
about my personal life?
I don't.
But you're probably going
to miss your dinner plans.
Great.
She was really excited, too.
Must be a special night.
She'll be expecting me.
You know, she might even
call the cops
if I don't show up.
Oh. Maybe, then,
I should call her back,
let her know you're busy
with another girl.
What's the big deal, huh?
You know, I could date
whoever I want.
I'm just like you.
I-I'm -- I'm trying to find
the right one.
But you guys have been dating
for almost three years.
What do you know about that?
Caitlyn Price.
Born April 3rd.
Oh, my God.
Today is her birthday,
which makes her...
59 years old.
Oh, Travis, you dog, you.
You've been stalking me?
Research. I always do background
checks on all my clients.
I'm not your fucking client.
You know, I'm not a bad guy.
You're not a good guy, either.
[ Drawer closes ]
Let's play a game.
What game is that?
The second reason men see
a dominatrix is for truth.
To be true to themselves,
open and honest,
without judgment.
Sounds like therapy.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Fail to answer honestly, and
I'll be forced to persuade you.
I figure we can start off light.
[Travis]
What do you want from me?
Truth.
So ask me something.
You give me what I want,
I give you what you want.
And what's that?
Whatever your heart desires.
Then how about letting me go?
Are you sure
that's what you want?
[ Chuckles ]
[ Travis gasps ]
What are you doing?
[Heather] First question.
Why did you go out with me?
What?
I don't know.
'Cause you asked me to.
Aah! [ Grunts ]
Why?
[ Grunts ]
Okay, okay. Stop.
My friend texted me
your picture.
I thought that you were cute.
Alright?
[ Grunting ]
I said the truth.
I'm telling you the truth.
I thought that you were cute.
And hot and sexy!
And you -- you --
you looked like somebody
that wanted to fuck!
[ Breathing rapidly ]
What about Caitlyn?
Jesus Christ.
[ Grunts ]
I don't see the attraction.
She's old enough
to be your mother.
There's more to attraction
than just looks or age.
Fair enough.
But if I were to make a guess,
I'd say it's her bank account
that attracts you.
What do you know about it?
Only that she takes care
of your rent, car payments,
elaborate vacations,
weekly allowance.
Mm. You got yourself
a real sugar mama there, stud.
Big deal.
So I'm with a woman
who takes care of me.
Thousands of chicks
do it all the time.
The third reason men go
to a dominatrix is for passion.
I did not come to you.
-[ Blows ]
-[ Inhales sharply ]
Relax.
You know,
I'd be a lot more into
this whole master/slave thing
if sex was actually an option.
But since it's not,
what's the fucking point?
The buildup.
Even now, you're on the verge
of bursting.
Admit it.
You're just a tease.
Am I?
[ Sighs ] It's not hard to get
a guy turned on,
but that quickly goes away
when you know nothing's going
to actually happen.
[ Sighs ]
Knock it off with the games.
I said knock it off.
What are you doing?
Just shut up.
[Travis] Why?
[ Moaning ]
[ Chuckles ]
You dirty girl.
This is why you're here.
[ Moaning ]
[ Panting ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Jesus.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Wow.
[ Sighs ] Now that we got
that out of the way...
Where you going?
Heather.
[ Door closes ]
Damn it.
[ Sighs ]
Come on.
[ Grunts ]
[ Door creaks ]
[ Cellphone vibrates, chirps ]
[ Travis exhales sharply ]
[ Window squeaking ]
[ Dial tone ]
[ Line ringing ]
[Dispatcher] 911.
What's your emergency?
I-I-I don't know.
I'm not sure.
[Dispatcher]
Is this an emergency?
[ Thud in distance ]
[Dispatcher]
Sir, are you still there?
[Heather]
How did you get up here?
I know this doll.
Of course you do.
It's got your name on it.
This was David's.
How did you get it?
[Travis]
Who fucking cares?
[Heather] You can't leave.
[ Grunts ]
Who is this?
That's private.
Is this David?
Where is he?
It's just you and me, baby.
Then who's texting you?
My 10:00.
Key.
-Give me the fucking key!
-[ Gasps ]
Travis, is this what you like?
Give me the key
to the front door.
How about one for the road,
then?
This time,
I'll play the victim.
You're unbelievable.
Oops.
You think you're cute, huh?
You tell me.
[ Inhales sharply ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
You're not that good.
[ Insects chirping ]
[ Line ringing ]
[ Scream in distance ]
[Robby]
What's up, man?
-What the fuck, Robby?
-[Robby] What's wrong?
That Heather chick
you hooked me up with?
-[Robby] Yeah?
-She's fucking insane.
-[Robby] What happened?
-She drugged me.
[Robby] What? [ Chuckles ]
That's hilarious.
What is her deal?
[Robby] I told you,
I ran into her at a reunion.
You know, the one
you were too cool to attend.
So?
[Robby] So she was asking
about you.
I was just doing you
a favor, man. Sorry.
Just come and get me.
[Robby] Where are you?
Hold on. I'll --
I'll text you the address.
[Robby] Okay.
Where the fuck am I?
Was it all that bad?
You drugged me, kidnapped me,
and tied me up in your basement.
I think I'm all tapped out
on your kinky fetishes.
I'm sure I can think
of a few more things.
Too close.
[Heather]
We're well beyond close.
You've already been
inside me, remember?
You weren't complaining then.
You're hot and very kinky,
but you're also
certifiably crazy,
a borderline felon,
and you need therapy.
[ Grunts ]
[ Body thuds ]
[ Cellphone vibrating ]
[Travis]
So, uh, I got to know,
why were we never friends
in high school?
I mean, not a single word
in four years.
[Heather]
You weren't paying attention.
Unh-unh. I -- I definitely
would've paid attention to you.
Where are we going?
I guess I was shy.
Alright, fair enough.
So what has shy Heather
been up to?
Nursing.
-Really?
-Surprised?
What is it, like,
some kind of inner desire
to want to help people?
I don't help people.
I fix them.
Yeah?
How would you fix me?
Aw, shit.
Fuck.
[ Exhales sharply,
breathing heavily ]
Heather?!
What the fuck are you?!
[ Breathing heavily ]
I made you something to eat.
[Travis] I'm not hungry.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Come on.
Get that away from me.
[ Broken plate clatters ]
Why are you doing this?
I saw the how-to book upstairs.
You're just a fraud.
You and I are past
our dancing days.
Why did you tell me that story
about Robby earlier?
What does that have to do
with anything?
The day you stop pretending
to be a good guy
is the day you actually
start becoming one.
I don't know.
I thought it was funny,
alright?
I was just trying
to break the ice.
You bullied a kid
into getting a horrible tattoo,
and you thought
that would impress me?
It was just a story.
You were both captains
of the swim team in high school.
So what?
So he quit after
what you did to him.
Do you know
what he's doing now?
Yeah. He's working
at his father's lumber yard.
He was the star athlete.
He broke swim records
for our school.
His spirit was destroyed.
You ended up with
a scholarship instead.
Your life soared
while his stayed stagnant.
And you take no responsibility
for what happened to him.
[Travis]
It's not like I held him down
and tattooed him myself.
Get that off me.
I'm surprised
you even remember David.
[ Scoffs ]
How could I not?
Another innocent life ruined
by the hands
of the great Travis.
No big deal, I guess.
Why do you have
this doll now?
Hm. So that's it.
He's your brother.
His only fault
was he was different.
That must run in the family.
[ Grunts ]
So -- So this is about
some stupid doll
from back in high school?
You've got to be
fucking kidding me.
Guys like you picked on him,
teased him.
All I did was rip the head off
and throw it in the trash.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
David had such
strong feelings for you.
This is sick.
Sick?
Sick is what you did to him.
It was in high school.
Kids get picked on
for random shit all the time.
You move on.
He'll live --
He's dead.
Look, I chose to come back
to you on the porch.
Made in Taiwan.
Novelty item.
Wasn't meant for much more
than playful fun.
So?
So you escaped
because I let you.
You came back
because you're stupid.
Now you're sorry.
You ruin people's lives.
You brought me here
for revenge
'cause you think
I murdered your brother.
You disfigured him.
Do you know what it's like
to tell a parent you can't pee
because your dick is broken
'cause some prick knocked you
to the ground and stomped on it?
I came back home
after David's death.
My mother couldn't handle it.
This is where I found her.
Right up there,
hanging by her neck.
The last man in her life, gone.
Why'd you bring me back here?
I just have
to know one more thing.
[Travis] What?
If you could
take it all back,
would you?
[ Doorbell rings ]
Help!
[ Muffled grunting ]
[ Muffled shouting ]
[ Breathing rapidly ]
Can I help you?
Yeah, we received a call
from this residence earlier.
Person hung up before
stating the emergency.
I thought I saw someone
moving around outside.
I wasn't sure what I saw,
so I just hung up.
If you don't mind,
I'll take a look around.
-Put you at ease.
-You're so sweet.
[ Breathes rapidly ]
[ Grunting ]
Well, everything
looks good down here.
Thank you so much.
I do feel safer now.
[ Grunting ]
This goes straight to me.
[ Breathing rapidly ]
Have a good night.
Good night.
-[ Shouts ]
-[ Grunts ]
You want to play games?
Is this what you want?
Travis, just go.
You need to leave now.
My pleasure.
[ Grunts ]
[Travis] You know,
it's not every day
a girl takes me out,
picks up the bill.
You've just been
with the wrong girls, I guess.
[ Chuckling ] Hey.
[ Sighs ]
What?
Don't ruin it.
Tell me,
why'd you bring me here?
God! Jesus.
What's happening?
Close your eyes.
Just listen
and breathe.
-[ Paddle thumping ]
-[Travis] Heather.
Heather, what is that?
I was worried about you, Travis.
Robby?
[Robby] Kind of cool, huh?
Perks of working
at a lumber yard.
Got you to thank for that.
[ Robby chuckles ]
Ah, one of my favorite pieces.
Took some time
crafting all this.
Come here. Stand up.
[Travis] Why?
Why?
[Travis]
Thought we were friends.
[ Chuckles ]
You sure do have a sick idea
of what friendship is.
You know, I've heard
that tattoo removal
is the most painful feeling
in the world.
Even worse than childbirth.
Don't think
it's nearly as painful
as burning it off yourself.
If you think you're leaving here
unscathed,
you are sadly mistaken.
All this because
of a stupid tattoo?
No. No.
I watched as you
got everything you wanted.
Swimming was the one thing
I was better than you at,
and you --
you took that from me.
That was your choice.
Yeah, you're right.
And I blame myself every day
for empowering you
to affect my decisions.
[Travis] Deranged,
psychopathic couple.
Oh, no.
No, we are
much more than that.
[ Sighs ]
Mm.
Did I ever tell you
that he started sleeping
with my girlfriend
after I quit the swim team?
-[Travis] You broke up.
-Yeah, because of you!
What do you want from me?
[ Scoffs ] To think
I ever found you attractive.
Easy. That's my girl
you're talking about there.
Yeah?
Well, guess what.
I fucked her, too,
and she loved it.
Aah!
Ah.
[Heather] Easy, Robby.
[ Whimpers, grunts ]
Your part in all this is over.
[Travis]
Can't you see, Heather?
He's just using you.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, Heather.
You got what you needed
already.
[Robby]
And now I want more.
[Travis] Don't think
I won't go to the cops.
No, you won't.
Hm.
You're going to love this.
Just finish it up
and get him out of here.
-[ Gasps ]
-Show him.
Let me go.
-[ Heather grunting ]
-Damn it, Heather. Do it.
-Get off me!
-Leave her alone.
Robby, stop!
[ Pants unzip ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Pants zip ]
Say hello to your
high-school sweetheart.
[Travis] Oh, my God.
We didn't...
[ Robby chuckles ]
And that's not even
the best part.
Look there.
And there.
I recorded some very juicy stuff
between you two.
Go to the cops,
and the world will know
the truth about Travis.
We'll be keeping a close tab
on you.
You said I killed David.
[Robby] Payback time.
[Travis] What are you doing?
Eeny, meeny, miney, moe.
Where do you think
that this should go?
[Heather] Enough.
I think I have the perfect spot.
Robby! [ Grunts ]
That's enough.
Hey!
-Look at him!
-Aah!
[Robby] He caused all this.
W-Where you going?
Heather. Hey.
We're just having
a bit of fun here.
[ Door closes ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Sniffles ]
[ Line ringing ]
You've reached Officer Morris.
I'm off duty.
If this is an emergency,
hang up and down 911.
-[ Beep ]
-What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Oh, Heather.
Hey.
Who understands you
better than me?
You said he wouldn't get hurt.
[ Robby exhales sharply ]
Just think of it
as a reminder of the pain
that he's caused us.
[Robby] To you.
Jesus.
One sec.
[ Water running ]
Come here.
Mm.
[Robby] You're alright.
[ Smooches ]
All pretty again.
We should let him go.
Off.
What's wrong?
[ Heather gasps, grunts ]
[ Gasps ]
Are you serious?
[ Scoffs, chuckles ]
Oh, fuck you.
Fuck you.
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Grunting ]
[Robby]
Great news, asshole.
We decided to let you go.
But, first, I'll need to get you
a copy of the footage.
Think of it
as a consolation prize.
Wouldn't want you to go home
empty-handed.
[ Door closes ]
[ Water running ]
Leave me alone.
Let me help you.
Stay away from me.
What you guys did to me
is far worse
than anything
I've ever done to you.
-[Heather] I didn't want to.
-[ Door opens, closes ]
[Travis] Then why did you?
[Heather] I don't know.
Robby was just so angry.
The hardest thing was seeing you
after so many years.
That should have been enough,
but...
Robby...
his need for revenge.
I didn't know
I'd have feelings for you.
[Heather]
I wanted the fantasy so bad.
It was a lie.
David was the lie.
You didn't kill him.
I did.
It was the only way
I could be free.
Set me free.
Get me out of here.
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Southern Cross" plays ]
I'm sorry, Heather.
Back in high school...
...I never wanted to hurt you.
I know.
I was caught between
my friends egging me on
and...my own fears.
I was stupid.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Travis grunting in distance ]
-Sorry.
-[ Exhales sharply ]
Like pulling off
a Band-Aid, right?
How do I look?
[ Chuckles ]
Back away from him.
-Get on the ground now.
-You don't understand.
-What the hell is going on here?
-Just get me out of here.
Look out!
[ Robby and Officer Morris
grunting ]
[ Gunshot ]
No!
[Robby] Don't touch him.
What the fuck?
Who the fuck is this?
Shit. Oh, fuck.
[ Coughs ]
You are so fucked.
Shut up!
Just shut the fuck up!
What have we done?
It was an accident.
Get out of my house.
I was only trying
to protect you.
We have to fix this.
His car is parked outside.
The police will know
he came here.
It's the first place
they'll look.
I said shut up.
Oh, no, you don't.
-[Heather] It's over, Robby.
-No. No.
Get off me.
No, Robby.
[Travis] Leave her alone.
[Heather] No. Aah!
-Robby.
-[Robby] Shut the fuck up!
-Robby.
-[ Sighing ]
Turn yourself in now,
and you may only get
involuntary manslaughter...
...combined with kidnapping
and torture, of course.
Oh, you think
this is torture?
It's not a game anymore.
Yeah, because
you fucked it up.
You're the reason the cops
came in the first place.
Now Travis can't go.
[ Sighs ]
His part in this is over.
How romantic.
What about you?
You feel the same way
about Heather?
David? Whate--
Whatever she is?
[ Grunts ]
I can't blame you.
Just look at her.
Sometimes I even forget
she's really a guy.
You're pathetic.
And you're nothing
but a fucking animal.
What do you think, Heather?
You're the animal here.
Kill you? Let you go?
Kill you? Let you go?
"Kill you" wins.
No.
Then admit you love him.
Say it!
Robby, stop.
What about me?
Would you stop me
from taking my own life?
Would that make you sad?
Yes.
Lies.
[Heather] Robby!
Robby, don't.
You have ruined my life.
You have taken
everything from me.
The only way to tame an animal
is to neuter it.
What do you say, Heather?
No need for two penises
in this relationship.
[Heather] Stop!
What are you doing?
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's talk about this.
I just killed a cop.
That's prison for life.
But I'm okay with that.
'Cause in the back of my mind,
I'll know that you're out there
living in agony
for what you did to us.
Robby.
Robby, please.
I-I can help.
I can help you dispose
of the body.
Robby, look at me.
You and I,
we can still be happy.
You're wrong.
I know you don't feel
the same way about me,
but could you love a freak?
Robby, you were right
about everything.
You had it all,
and I took it from you.
Your scholarship.
Your girlfriend.
It was me who was
jealous of you.
I'm sorry.
[ Chuckling ]
You see that?
-We did it.
-[ Crying ]
[Robby] He's a changed man.
[ Travis continues crying ]
But then again.
-Robby.
-No.
Travis, look at me.
Robby! Robby!
[ Squeals ]
-Travis!
-[ Screaming ]
[Heather]
Robby, please stop!
Robby, stop!
No!
[Robby]
You guys belong together.
[Heather]
You know what this is?
[ Door closes ]
Freedom.
Calluna vulgaris.
Otherwise known as heather.
Hey.
That's your name.
It represents everything
about me.
Maybe think about digging it up
and taking it home.
This is its home.
I put it here.
[ Chuckles ]
So you brought me here
to show me your bush?
[ Chuckles ]
No.
The purple represents
solitude,
its loneliness,
just like me.
Doesn't have to be that way.
Have you ever been in love?
[ Sighs ] I don't know.
Probably not.
"Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind."
Shakespeare.
[ Sighs ]
What?
One of the greatest love poets
of all time.
Didn't he write tragedies?
It's all in
how you look at it.
[ Grunting ]
[Travis]
You know, I'm not a bad guy.
[Heather]
You're not a good guy, either.
[Robby] Don't think
it's nearly as painful
as burning it off yourself.
[Travis] Let's make sure that
that's all that you do to me.
[Heather] Right up there,
hanging by her neck.
[Robby] And you're nothing
but a fucking animal.
[Heather]
The last man in her life, gone.
[Travis]
What do you want from me?
[Heather] Truth.
The day you stop pretending
to be a good guy
is the day you actually
start becoming one.
[Travis] Kill me.
Please.
[Heather]
I've stopped the bleeding.
[Travis] I don't care.
Robby's taking care
of the cop's body,
but he'll be back soon.
Easy. [ Grunts ]
[ Panting ]
I need you to be strong.
Then kill me.
Is that what you want?
Huh?
Fine.
[Heather]
There you go. Kill yourself.
What are you waiting for?
Do it!
[ Breathes deeply, grunts ]
[ Crying ]
[ Crying ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Insects chirping ]
[Robby] Stop.
I need to take him
to the hospital.
[Robby]
I can't let you do that.
What are you going to do?
Shoot me?
[ Scoffs ]
I'm getting Travis
out of here,
and there's nothing
you can do about it.
Don't!
He's the monster.
Look at what you've become.
It can be just you
and I again.
But that means he has to go.
-No!
-Don't...
do that, Heather.
H-He needs an ambulance.
There's no other way.
[ Sighs ]
Aw, damn it.
Damn it!
Don't let him
come between us.
[ Screaming ]
[ Grunting ]
God.
[ Knife stabs ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Body thudding ]
[ Gasps, whimpers ]
[ Travis grunts ]
[ Travis breathing rapidly ]
I'll call an ambulance.
Don't leave me.
Let me die.
We've already gone
through that.
[Travis] Please.
I can't.
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Southern Cross" plays ]
[Travis]
I'm not a man anymore.
You'll go to the hospital,
and they'll fix you.
[ Chuckles ]
I can't be fixed.
God can't give you
all you've lost
[Travis]
I'm not a good guy.
Say, Sylvia
Why did you abandon
yourself?
[ Sniffles ]
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back
[Heather] "One pain is lessen'd
by another's anguish."
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
I could keep
Fly down south
[Heather]
A little will knock you out.
Whenever it gets too rough
[Heather] Too much,
and it can easily kill you.
Chase the sun
for what it's worth
[Heather] "One fire burns out
another's burning."
"Thy drugs are quick."
The darkness is your
responsibility
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back,
all I want is sky
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
I could keep
[ Breathing shakily ]
There's boundaries
in the fields
"Thus with a kiss."
There's boundaries
in the fields
But not so much
[ Crying ]
Say, Sylvie,
are you breathing?
Close your eyes
and breathe.
No
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back,
all I want is God
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
that I need
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
But not so much
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Badlands" plays ]
I walk and talk this way
Don't tell me to stay
When I get my hands on you,
you'll never be the same
I walk and talk this way
I'll show you the way
Boys call me the Badlands
'Cause you'll never be
the same
I'm bulletproof
Can't you hear
that bang, bang?
You don't know what I'd do
If I ever got
my hands on you
I walk and talk this way
Don't tell me to stay
When I get my hands on you,
you'll never be the same
I walk and talk this way
I'll show you the way
Boys call me the Badlands
'Cause you'll never be
the same
Stop.
Now, wait a minute.
Give me the...
I'm smokin'
From the finest cigarette
You must be jokin'
When you say
you're the man
Man
Ma-a-a-a-n
[ Vocalizing ]
Stop.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Oh. [ Chuckles ]
You throw the best parties,
Caitlyn.
[ Chuckles ]
Have you lost your wife again?
I've lost many.
And perhaps she's upstairs,
finding a clever way
of becoming ex-wife number four.
Hm.
No, no, no, no. There's --
There's no one in there.
And the party's over.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Oh, I like this one for you.
You can keep them young.
It's the -- It's the cure
to our mortality.
George!
Ah, shit.
Pity.
I guess I'm still married.
[ Chuckling ] Oh, thank you.
Be careful.
-Good night, George.
-Good night.
What the hell?
I've been in the car for,
like, 30 fucking minutes.
-I've been looking for you.
What have you been doing?
Yeah.
[George] I've been looking --
what are you saying?
[Jeselle] I can't.
Finally, alone.
We can go up to the bedroom,
and you can finish
your work there.
[ Chuckles ] No, I'm good.
I didn't want to seem rude
to you and your friends.
[ Caitlyn chuckles ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
You look magnificent.
[ Sighs ]
Nothing but the best
for my baby.
[ Scoffs ]
[ Caitlyn sighs ]
[ Travis sighs ]
What are you doing now?
It's late.
I got to get home.
Sit.
You promised you'd take
advantage of me tonight.
Not sure how much
I have left in me.
[ Chuckling ]
Oh, come on.
I have finals this week.
I've barely had time to study.
Okay. What are you
really worried about?
Haven't I always taken
good care of you?
It's your money wasted
if I fail.
Exactly.
You won't fail.
I was like you.
Couldn't pay for groceries
or rent,
but nothing stopped me.
Worked my way up from nothing.
Five years later,
I owned the largest
real-estate firm
in the Northeast.
Thank you.
You can be anything you want.
Anything you set your mind to.
And you've got me,
so don't blow it.
I can give you the world.
Let's fuck like wild animals.
But she'll see us.
Good. Let her.
Don't pretend to be shy.
[ Cellphone beeping,
vibrating ]
[ Sighs ]
It's probably my mom.
She's always checking on me.
[ Sighs ]
I'd be a mama's boy, too,
if I looked that good.
[ Stammers ]
We'll see how far you get
without me.
[ Travis sighs ]
[ Line ringing ]
[Robby]
Are you at Caitlyn's tonight?
Dude, she's getting
way too possessive.
[Robby] [ Chuckles ]
Well, what did you expect?
Remember that chick
you were telling me about?
[Robby] Remind me.
The one from the reunion.
You said she had a crush on me
from back in the day.
[Robby] Yeah.
She still asks about you.
Well, who is she?
[Robby] Just -- Just some girl
who liked you.
That's it?
[Robby] Dude, I don't know.
From what I remember
in high school,
her parents were strict
as hell.
Middle Eastern or some shit.
I tell you, though,
she definitely blossomed.
I think she might be into kink.
Kink?
[Robby]
Whips. Chains. Cuffs.
How do you know?
[Robby] If you saw the way
she was dressed...
But is she hot?
[Robby] Fuckable, for sure.
What've you got to lose?
Give me her number.
[Robby] Alright.
[ Heather breathing shakily ]
[Heather] "One fire burns out
another's burning.
One pain is lessen'd
by another's anguish."
[ Exhales slowly ]
[Travis] It's the summer before
our senior year of high school.
We're all at this party,
getting wasted,
throwing back everything from
beers to shots, you name it.
Robby is drunk as shit.
He's going on about
wanting to get a tattoo.
Wants to look tough.
So we take him, that night.
[ Travis breathing heavily ]
The fuck?
Oh, where am I?
[Travis] What?
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Grunting ]
Fuck.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Somebody...
talk to me.
Hello?
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Who's there?
[Heather]
How do you like it so far?
Who's that?
Take your time.
What am I doing here?
Where am I?
How'd I get here?
I don't feel right.
Sorry about that.
Wasn't sure how much to give.
You drugged me?
For what?
Look around you.
The world created
by your desires.
So what was it?
It was Roofies?
A little will knock you out.
Too much, and it
can easily kill you.
Was starting to worry when
it took you so long to wake up.
[ Scoffs ]
W-W-W-What is this?
Sorry about the head.
What did you do?
Bumped it trying
to get you here.
Completely accidental,
I assure you.
When did you, uh --
h-how did you even get...
[ Sighs ]
It was the coffee, wasn't it?
Should've known
not to trust a girl
who actually wants to pay
for something.
To know someone,
you must first know yourself.
What are you talking about?
I-I-I don't even know
what's going on here.
Of course you don't,
sweetie.
[Travis] What is that?
That's where
all the bad little boys go.
Oh.
[ Paddle thumps ]
Uh, you know,
pain's not really my thing.
[Heather] Men would pay
top dollar to be where you are.
How'd I get so lucky?
[ Exhales sharply ]
You do know this is
a federal offense, right?
There's no law
against what we're doing.
I'm pretty sure kidnapping
is against the law.
And who's going to believe you?
Hm?
The police?
What are you
going to tell them?
That I beat you up,
dragged you here?
I don't think so.
Let's make sure that
that's all that you do to me.
That's the spirit.
So, uh, do you only do
private sessions
or can I book you for parties?
Do you know why men
go to a dominatrix?
[ Chuckles ]
Who the fuck really cares?
Fuck! Too far.
Aren't we supposed to establish
some kind of safe word?
For release.
Not the sexual kind
you're used to.
I mean,
from their everyday lives --
wife, the kids,
stress at work.
Yeah, but I didn't
come to you for this.
You don't even know
what this is.
Why don't you tell me?
It feels different when
you're not the one in control,
doesn't it?
Seeing you like this
gets me so turned on.
Who are you?
[Heather]
Exactly who I need to be.
What was all that before
at the caf?
That "lonely little girl"
routine you put on.
Who I used to be.
Huh. So what's next?
Whatever I need to be.
Well, I need you to be a good
little girl and let me go.
Where's your sense
of adventure?
So let me see
if I got this right.
You asked me out
on a blind date.
I accept.
For what?
Some sick fantasy of yours?
I've got so much to show you.
[ Chuckles ] I can't wait.
What's next? A car battery?
Nipple clamps?
-A-A-A ball gag?
-Kinky.
Let's get back
to the kidnapping.
And how very bad this is going
to be for you in the end.
I know you're confused,
but trust me,
the sooner
you release control,
the sooner you can leave.
Is that a promise?
I am a woman of my word.
So how's this all work?
It works with you doing
exactly what I say when I say.
And if I don't?
Fuck!
[ Laughing ]
Oh, my God,
this is funny.
Now it's all starting
to make sense.
-What?
-You're not looking for
the right guy or love.
You're turned off
by sex altogether.
This isn't about me.
Yeah, it is.
All this crazy shit?
Not unless she was screwed up
as a kid.
Late-night visits from Daddy?
Maybe it was an uncle.
Some naughty touching?
Parents didn't believe you?
Don't think I didn't see
the scars on your arm.
This is your own
personal therapy
to deal with
your fucked-up family.
Am I right?
[ Cane clatters ]
So what?
Does that mean
our session's over?
Maybe you should be
the one strapped up
on this fucking table.
[ Door closes ]
Fuck.
[Travis] Check this out.
We're at the tattoo shop,
and Robby is completely blitzed
out of his mind.
He's pointing at this dolphin
from the artist book,
and he's like, "That one.
I want that one."
[Heather] What? Why?
I don't know.
H-He's, like, drunk.
He can't even see straight.
And the guy goes
to work on him anyway.
Can he do that?
I might've tossed him
a few extra bucks.
-That's messed up.
-It gets better.
When he wakes up, he realizes
that he has these gay tattoos
-on his shoulder, and he --
-Gay?
Uh...yeah,
so the next day,
he goes back to the tattoo shop
to see if he can get them fixed.
But, you know, all the guy
can do is cover them up.
So he's like,
"I can turn them into whales."
And Robby, not knowing
any better, goes along with it.
But when he's finished,
you know, in the end,
they really just look like
ink blotches...
-Ink blotches.
-...with a big fin on the edge.
[ Chuckles ]
[Travis] Come on.
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Cellphone ringing,
vibrating ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Grunts ] Fuck.
-[ Ringing, vibrating stops ]
-[ Chuckles ]
I'm sorry. I can't come
to the phone right now.
All of my wildest fantasies
have just come true.
-[ Sighs ]
-[ Cellphone chimes, vibrates ]
[ Footsteps approaching ]
If you want to talk about your
family, I'm a good listener.
My dad ran off
before I was born.
Never had an uncle.
So why the dramatic exit?
What's in the bag?
Mm.
Hey, d-don't do that.
Mm, Travis.
No password protection.
I've got nothing to hide.
Who's Caitlyn?
A friend.
Let's see what she had to say.
Hey, hey, that's private.
You should...
Mm. [ Chuckles ]
[ Sighs ] Why do you care
about my personal life?
I don't.
But you're probably going
to miss your dinner plans.
Great.
She was really excited, too.
Must be a special night.
She'll be expecting me.
You know, she might even
call the cops
if I don't show up.
Oh. Maybe, then,
I should call her back,
let her know you're busy
with another girl.
What's the big deal, huh?
You know, I could date
whoever I want.
I'm just like you.
I-I'm -- I'm trying to find
the right one.
But you guys have been dating
for almost three years.
What do you know about that?
Caitlyn Price.
Born April 3rd.
Oh, my God.
Today is her birthday,
which makes her...
59 years old.
Oh, Travis, you dog, you.
You've been stalking me?
Research. I always do background
checks on all my clients.
I'm not your fucking client.
You know, I'm not a bad guy.
You're not a good guy, either.
[ Drawer closes ]
Let's play a game.
What game is that?
The second reason men see
a dominatrix is for truth.
To be true to themselves,
open and honest,
without judgment.
Sounds like therapy.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Fail to answer honestly, and
I'll be forced to persuade you.
I figure we can start off light.
[Travis]
What do you want from me?
Truth.
So ask me something.
You give me what I want,
I give you what you want.
And what's that?
Whatever your heart desires.
Then how about letting me go?
Are you sure
that's what you want?
[ Chuckles ]
[ Travis gasps ]
What are you doing?
[Heather] First question.
Why did you go out with me?
What?
I don't know.
'Cause you asked me to.
Aah! [ Grunts ]
Why?
[ Grunts ]
Okay, okay. Stop.
My friend texted me
your picture.
I thought that you were cute.
Alright?
[ Grunting ]
I said the truth.
I'm telling you the truth.
I thought that you were cute.
And hot and sexy!
And you -- you --
you looked like somebody
that wanted to fuck!
[ Breathing rapidly ]
What about Caitlyn?
Jesus Christ.
[ Grunts ]
I don't see the attraction.
She's old enough
to be your mother.
There's more to attraction
than just looks or age.
Fair enough.
But if I were to make a guess,
I'd say it's her bank account
that attracts you.
What do you know about it?
Only that she takes care
of your rent, car payments,
elaborate vacations,
weekly allowance.
Mm. You got yourself
a real sugar mama there, stud.
Big deal.
So I'm with a woman
who takes care of me.
Thousands of chicks
do it all the time.
The third reason men go
to a dominatrix is for passion.
I did not come to you.
-[ Blows ]
-[ Inhales sharply ]
Relax.
You know,
I'd be a lot more into
this whole master/slave thing
if sex was actually an option.
But since it's not,
what's the fucking point?
The buildup.
Even now, you're on the verge
of bursting.
Admit it.
You're just a tease.
Am I?
[ Sighs ] It's not hard to get
a guy turned on,
but that quickly goes away
when you know nothing's going
to actually happen.
[ Sighs ]
Knock it off with the games.
I said knock it off.
What are you doing?
Just shut up.
[Travis] Why?
[ Moaning ]
[ Chuckles ]
You dirty girl.
This is why you're here.
[ Moaning ]
[ Panting ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
Jesus.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Wow.
[ Sighs ] Now that we got
that out of the way...
Where you going?
Heather.
[ Door closes ]
Damn it.
[ Sighs ]
Come on.
[ Grunts ]
[ Door creaks ]
[ Cellphone vibrates, chirps ]
[ Travis exhales sharply ]
[ Window squeaking ]
[ Dial tone ]
[ Line ringing ]
[Dispatcher] 911.
What's your emergency?
I-I-I don't know.
I'm not sure.
[Dispatcher]
Is this an emergency?
[ Thud in distance ]
[Dispatcher]
Sir, are you still there?
[Heather]
How did you get up here?
I know this doll.
Of course you do.
It's got your name on it.
This was David's.
How did you get it?
[Travis]
Who fucking cares?
[Heather] You can't leave.
[ Grunts ]
Who is this?
That's private.
Is this David?
Where is he?
It's just you and me, baby.
Then who's texting you?
My 10:00.
Key.
-Give me the fucking key!
-[ Gasps ]
Travis, is this what you like?
Give me the key
to the front door.
How about one for the road,
then?
This time,
I'll play the victim.
You're unbelievable.
Oops.
You think you're cute, huh?
You tell me.
[ Inhales sharply ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
You're not that good.
[ Insects chirping ]
[ Line ringing ]
[ Scream in distance ]
[Robby]
What's up, man?
-What the fuck, Robby?
-[Robby] What's wrong?
That Heather chick
you hooked me up with?
-[Robby] Yeah?
-She's fucking insane.
-[Robby] What happened?
-She drugged me.
[Robby] What? [ Chuckles ]
That's hilarious.
What is her deal?
[Robby] I told you,
I ran into her at a reunion.
You know, the one
you were too cool to attend.
So?
[Robby] So she was asking
about you.
I was just doing you
a favor, man. Sorry.
Just come and get me.
[Robby] Where are you?
Hold on. I'll --
I'll text you the address.
[Robby] Okay.
Where the fuck am I?
Was it all that bad?
You drugged me, kidnapped me,
and tied me up in your basement.
I think I'm all tapped out
on your kinky fetishes.
I'm sure I can think
of a few more things.
Too close.
[Heather]
We're well beyond close.
You've already been
inside me, remember?
You weren't complaining then.
You're hot and very kinky,
but you're also
certifiably crazy,
a borderline felon,
and you need therapy.
[ Grunts ]
[ Body thuds ]
[ Cellphone vibrating ]
[Travis]
So, uh, I got to know,
why were we never friends
in high school?
I mean, not a single word
in four years.
[Heather]
You weren't paying attention.
Unh-unh. I -- I definitely
would've paid attention to you.
Where are we going?
I guess I was shy.
Alright, fair enough.
So what has shy Heather
been up to?
Nursing.
-Really?
-Surprised?
What is it, like,
some kind of inner desire
to want to help people?
I don't help people.
I fix them.
Yeah?
How would you fix me?
Aw, shit.
Fuck.
[ Exhales sharply,
breathing heavily ]
Heather?!
What the fuck are you?!
[ Breathing heavily ]
I made you something to eat.
[Travis] I'm not hungry.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Come on.
Get that away from me.
[ Broken plate clatters ]
Why are you doing this?
I saw the how-to book upstairs.
You're just a fraud.
You and I are past
our dancing days.
Why did you tell me that story
about Robby earlier?
What does that have to do
with anything?
The day you stop pretending
to be a good guy
is the day you actually
start becoming one.
I don't know.
I thought it was funny,
alright?
I was just trying
to break the ice.
You bullied a kid
into getting a horrible tattoo,
and you thought
that would impress me?
It was just a story.
You were both captains
of the swim team in high school.
So what?
So he quit after
what you did to him.
Do you know
what he's doing now?
Yeah. He's working
at his father's lumber yard.
He was the star athlete.
He broke swim records
for our school.
His spirit was destroyed.
You ended up with
a scholarship instead.
Your life soared
while his stayed stagnant.
And you take no responsibility
for what happened to him.
[Travis]
It's not like I held him down
and tattooed him myself.
Get that off me.
I'm surprised
you even remember David.
[ Scoffs ]
How could I not?
Another innocent life ruined
by the hands
of the great Travis.
No big deal, I guess.
Why do you have
this doll now?
Hm. So that's it.
He's your brother.
His only fault
was he was different.
That must run in the family.
[ Grunts ]
So -- So this is about
some stupid doll
from back in high school?
You've got to be
fucking kidding me.
Guys like you picked on him,
teased him.
All I did was rip the head off
and throw it in the trash.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
David had such
strong feelings for you.
This is sick.
Sick?
Sick is what you did to him.
It was in high school.
Kids get picked on
for random shit all the time.
You move on.
He'll live --
He's dead.
Look, I chose to come back
to you on the porch.
Made in Taiwan.
Novelty item.
Wasn't meant for much more
than playful fun.
So?
So you escaped
because I let you.
You came back
because you're stupid.
Now you're sorry.
You ruin people's lives.
You brought me here
for revenge
'cause you think
I murdered your brother.
You disfigured him.
Do you know what it's like
to tell a parent you can't pee
because your dick is broken
'cause some prick knocked you
to the ground and stomped on it?
I came back home
after David's death.
My mother couldn't handle it.
This is where I found her.
Right up there,
hanging by her neck.
The last man in her life, gone.
Why'd you bring me back here?
I just have
to know one more thing.
[Travis] What?
If you could
take it all back,
would you?
[ Doorbell rings ]
Help!
[ Muffled grunting ]
[ Muffled shouting ]
[ Breathing rapidly ]
Can I help you?
Yeah, we received a call
from this residence earlier.
Person hung up before
stating the emergency.
I thought I saw someone
moving around outside.
I wasn't sure what I saw,
so I just hung up.
If you don't mind,
I'll take a look around.
-Put you at ease.
-You're so sweet.
[ Breathes rapidly ]
[ Grunting ]
Well, everything
looks good down here.
Thank you so much.
I do feel safer now.
[ Grunting ]
This goes straight to me.
[ Breathing rapidly ]
Have a good night.
Good night.
-[ Shouts ]
-[ Grunts ]
You want to play games?
Is this what you want?
Travis, just go.
You need to leave now.
My pleasure.
[ Grunts ]
[Travis] You know,
it's not every day
a girl takes me out,
picks up the bill.
You've just been
with the wrong girls, I guess.
[ Chuckling ] Hey.
[ Sighs ]
What?
Don't ruin it.
Tell me,
why'd you bring me here?
God! Jesus.
What's happening?
Close your eyes.
Just listen
and breathe.
-[ Paddle thumping ]
-[Travis] Heather.
Heather, what is that?
I was worried about you, Travis.
Robby?
[Robby] Kind of cool, huh?
Perks of working
at a lumber yard.
Got you to thank for that.
[ Robby chuckles ]
Ah, one of my favorite pieces.
Took some time
crafting all this.
Come here. Stand up.
[Travis] Why?
Why?
[Travis]
Thought we were friends.
[ Chuckles ]
You sure do have a sick idea
of what friendship is.
You know, I've heard
that tattoo removal
is the most painful feeling
in the world.
Even worse than childbirth.
Don't think
it's nearly as painful
as burning it off yourself.
If you think you're leaving here
unscathed,
you are sadly mistaken.
All this because
of a stupid tattoo?
No. No.
I watched as you
got everything you wanted.
Swimming was the one thing
I was better than you at,
and you --
you took that from me.
That was your choice.
Yeah, you're right.
And I blame myself every day
for empowering you
to affect my decisions.
[Travis] Deranged,
psychopathic couple.
Oh, no.
No, we are
much more than that.
[ Sighs ]
Mm.
Did I ever tell you
that he started sleeping
with my girlfriend
after I quit the swim team?
-[Travis] You broke up.
-Yeah, because of you!
What do you want from me?
[ Scoffs ] To think
I ever found you attractive.
Easy. That's my girl
you're talking about there.
Yeah?
Well, guess what.
I fucked her, too,
and she loved it.
Aah!
Ah.
[Heather] Easy, Robby.
[ Whimpers, grunts ]
Your part in all this is over.
[Travis]
Can't you see, Heather?
He's just using you.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, Heather.
You got what you needed
already.
[Robby]
And now I want more.
[Travis] Don't think
I won't go to the cops.
No, you won't.
Hm.
You're going to love this.
Just finish it up
and get him out of here.
-[ Gasps ]
-Show him.
Let me go.
-[ Heather grunting ]
-Damn it, Heather. Do it.
-Get off me!
-Leave her alone.
Robby, stop!
[ Pants unzip ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Pants zip ]
Say hello to your
high-school sweetheart.
[Travis] Oh, my God.
We didn't...
[ Robby chuckles ]
And that's not even
the best part.
Look there.
And there.
I recorded some very juicy stuff
between you two.
Go to the cops,
and the world will know
the truth about Travis.
We'll be keeping a close tab
on you.
You said I killed David.
[Robby] Payback time.
[Travis] What are you doing?
Eeny, meeny, miney, moe.
Where do you think
that this should go?
[Heather] Enough.
I think I have the perfect spot.
Robby! [ Grunts ]
That's enough.
Hey!
-Look at him!
-Aah!
[Robby] He caused all this.
W-Where you going?
Heather. Hey.
We're just having
a bit of fun here.
[ Door closes ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Sniffles ]
[ Line ringing ]
You've reached Officer Morris.
I'm off duty.
If this is an emergency,
hang up and down 911.
-[ Beep ]
-What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Oh, Heather.
Hey.
Who understands you
better than me?
You said he wouldn't get hurt.
[ Robby exhales sharply ]
Just think of it
as a reminder of the pain
that he's caused us.
[Robby] To you.
Jesus.
One sec.
[ Water running ]
Come here.
Mm.
[Robby] You're alright.
[ Smooches ]
All pretty again.
We should let him go.
Off.
What's wrong?
[ Heather gasps, grunts ]
[ Gasps ]
Are you serious?
[ Scoffs, chuckles ]
Oh, fuck you.
Fuck you.
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Grunting ]
[Robby]
Great news, asshole.
We decided to let you go.
But, first, I'll need to get you
a copy of the footage.
Think of it
as a consolation prize.
Wouldn't want you to go home
empty-handed.
[ Door closes ]
[ Water running ]
Leave me alone.
Let me help you.
Stay away from me.
What you guys did to me
is far worse
than anything
I've ever done to you.
-[Heather] I didn't want to.
-[ Door opens, closes ]
[Travis] Then why did you?
[Heather] I don't know.
Robby was just so angry.
The hardest thing was seeing you
after so many years.
That should have been enough,
but...
Robby...
his need for revenge.
I didn't know
I'd have feelings for you.
[Heather]
I wanted the fantasy so bad.
It was a lie.
David was the lie.
You didn't kill him.
I did.
It was the only way
I could be free.
Set me free.
Get me out of here.
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Southern Cross" plays ]
I'm sorry, Heather.
Back in high school...
...I never wanted to hurt you.
I know.
I was caught between
my friends egging me on
and...my own fears.
I was stupid.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Travis grunting in distance ]
-Sorry.
-[ Exhales sharply ]
Like pulling off
a Band-Aid, right?
How do I look?
[ Chuckles ]
Back away from him.
-Get on the ground now.
-You don't understand.
-What the hell is going on here?
-Just get me out of here.
Look out!
[ Robby and Officer Morris
grunting ]
[ Gunshot ]
No!
[Robby] Don't touch him.
What the fuck?
Who the fuck is this?
Shit. Oh, fuck.
[ Coughs ]
You are so fucked.
Shut up!
Just shut the fuck up!
What have we done?
It was an accident.
Get out of my house.
I was only trying
to protect you.
We have to fix this.
His car is parked outside.
The police will know
he came here.
It's the first place
they'll look.
I said shut up.
Oh, no, you don't.
-[Heather] It's over, Robby.
-No. No.
Get off me.
No, Robby.
[Travis] Leave her alone.
[Heather] No. Aah!
-Robby.
-[Robby] Shut the fuck up!
-Robby.
-[ Sighing ]
Turn yourself in now,
and you may only get
involuntary manslaughter...
...combined with kidnapping
and torture, of course.
Oh, you think
this is torture?
It's not a game anymore.
Yeah, because
you fucked it up.
You're the reason the cops
came in the first place.
Now Travis can't go.
[ Sighs ]
His part in this is over.
How romantic.
What about you?
You feel the same way
about Heather?
David? Whate--
Whatever she is?
[ Grunts ]
I can't blame you.
Just look at her.
Sometimes I even forget
she's really a guy.
You're pathetic.
And you're nothing
but a fucking animal.
What do you think, Heather?
You're the animal here.
Kill you? Let you go?
Kill you? Let you go?
"Kill you" wins.
No.
Then admit you love him.
Say it!
Robby, stop.
What about me?
Would you stop me
from taking my own life?
Would that make you sad?
Yes.
Lies.
[Heather] Robby!
Robby, don't.
You have ruined my life.
You have taken
everything from me.
The only way to tame an animal
is to neuter it.
What do you say, Heather?
No need for two penises
in this relationship.
[Heather] Stop!
What are you doing?
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's talk about this.
I just killed a cop.
That's prison for life.
But I'm okay with that.
'Cause in the back of my mind,
I'll know that you're out there
living in agony
for what you did to us.
Robby.
Robby, please.
I-I can help.
I can help you dispose
of the body.
Robby, look at me.
You and I,
we can still be happy.
You're wrong.
I know you don't feel
the same way about me,
but could you love a freak?
Robby, you were right
about everything.
You had it all,
and I took it from you.
Your scholarship.
Your girlfriend.
It was me who was
jealous of you.
I'm sorry.
[ Chuckling ]
You see that?
-We did it.
-[ Crying ]
[Robby] He's a changed man.
[ Travis continues crying ]
But then again.
-Robby.
-No.
Travis, look at me.
Robby! Robby!
[ Squeals ]
-Travis!
-[ Screaming ]
[Heather]
Robby, please stop!
Robby, stop!
No!
[Robby]
You guys belong together.
[Heather]
You know what this is?
[ Door closes ]
Freedom.
Calluna vulgaris.
Otherwise known as heather.
Hey.
That's your name.
It represents everything
about me.
Maybe think about digging it up
and taking it home.
This is its home.
I put it here.
[ Chuckles ]
So you brought me here
to show me your bush?
[ Chuckles ]
No.
The purple represents
solitude,
its loneliness,
just like me.
Doesn't have to be that way.
Have you ever been in love?
[ Sighs ] I don't know.
Probably not.
"Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the mind."
Shakespeare.
[ Sighs ]
What?
One of the greatest love poets
of all time.
Didn't he write tragedies?
It's all in
how you look at it.
[ Grunting ]
[Travis]
You know, I'm not a bad guy.
[Heather]
You're not a good guy, either.
[Robby] Don't think
it's nearly as painful
as burning it off yourself.
[Travis] Let's make sure that
that's all that you do to me.
[Heather] Right up there,
hanging by her neck.
[Robby] And you're nothing
but a fucking animal.
[Heather]
The last man in her life, gone.
[Travis]
What do you want from me?
[Heather] Truth.
The day you stop pretending
to be a good guy
is the day you actually
start becoming one.
[Travis] Kill me.
Please.
[Heather]
I've stopped the bleeding.
[Travis] I don't care.
Robby's taking care
of the cop's body,
but he'll be back soon.
Easy. [ Grunts ]
[ Panting ]
I need you to be strong.
Then kill me.
Is that what you want?
Huh?
Fine.
[Heather]
There you go. Kill yourself.
What are you waiting for?
Do it!
[ Breathes deeply, grunts ]
[ Crying ]
[ Crying ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Insects chirping ]
[Robby] Stop.
I need to take him
to the hospital.
[Robby]
I can't let you do that.
What are you going to do?
Shoot me?
[ Scoffs ]
I'm getting Travis
out of here,
and there's nothing
you can do about it.
Don't!
He's the monster.
Look at what you've become.
It can be just you
and I again.
But that means he has to go.
-No!
-Don't...
do that, Heather.
H-He needs an ambulance.
There's no other way.
[ Sighs ]
Aw, damn it.
Damn it!
Don't let him
come between us.
[ Screaming ]
[ Grunting ]
God.
[ Knife stabs ]
[ Breathing shakily ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Body thudding ]
[ Gasps, whimpers ]
[ Travis grunts ]
[ Travis breathing rapidly ]
I'll call an ambulance.
Don't leave me.
Let me die.
We've already gone
through that.
[Travis] Please.
I can't.
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Southern Cross" plays ]
[Travis]
I'm not a man anymore.
You'll go to the hospital,
and they'll fix you.
[ Chuckles ]
I can't be fixed.
God can't give you
all you've lost
[Travis]
I'm not a good guy.
Say, Sylvia
Why did you abandon
yourself?
[ Sniffles ]
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back
[Heather] "One pain is lessen'd
by another's anguish."
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
I could keep
Fly down south
[Heather]
A little will knock you out.
Whenever it gets too rough
[Heather] Too much,
and it can easily kill you.
Chase the sun
for what it's worth
[Heather] "One fire burns out
another's burning."
"Thy drugs are quick."
The darkness is your
responsibility
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back,
all I want is sky
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
I could keep
[ Breathing shakily ]
There's boundaries
in the fields
"Thus with a kiss."
There's boundaries
in the fields
But not so much
[ Crying ]
Say, Sylvie,
are you breathing?
Close your eyes
and breathe.
No
We might die
on this motorcycle ride
Throw my head back,
all I want is God
Oh, I don't want to die,
but I'll dangle my feet
Southern Cross is religion
that I need
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
Be with me
But not so much
[ Vienna D'Amato Hall's
"Badlands" plays ]
I walk and talk this way
Don't tell me to stay
When I get my hands on you,
you'll never be the same
I walk and talk this way
I'll show you the way
Boys call me the Badlands
'Cause you'll never be
the same
I'm bulletproof
Can't you hear
that bang, bang?
You don't know what I'd do
If I ever got
my hands on you
I walk and talk this way
Don't tell me to stay
When I get my hands on you,
you'll never be the same
I walk and talk this way
I'll show you the way
Boys call me the Badlands
'Cause you'll never be
the same
Stop.
Now, wait a minute.
Give me the...
I'm smokin'
From the finest cigarette
You must be jokin'
When you say
you're the man

[ Vocalizing ]
Stop.
