(logos rumbling)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps crunching)
(woman screaming)
- Tell me you heard a scream.
- I heard something.
(crickets chirping)
(stick snaps)
(woman screams)
(frenetic static hissing)
Stop!
- [Olivia] Please, oh please,
I'm gonna get out of here,
and then, oh my God.
(woman screaming)
(frenetic static hissing)
(electronics beeping)
- How much longer?
- 10 minutes.
God, they amount
you've asked that today.
- I feel like you said
that 10 minutes ago.
- Yeah, that's cool.
- And 10 minutes before that.
- You're not a child.
- And 10 minutes before that.
- [Olivia] Get your
head off the dashboard.
It's actually so dangerous,
that's how people die.
- I have a headache.
- Come on.
- You always have a headache.
- Yeah, I do always.
I don't wanna do this,
I don't wanna do this Olivia.
What do you want me to say?
- You know you have
to have a little talky-talky
- What do you want me to say?
- What are you here to do?
- Party.
- We're not here to party.
Just look down the lens.
- Focus on driving.
- Uh, I am focusing.
- You're gonna get us killed.
- On driving,
it's literally a straight road.
We're fine.
- You shouldn't be
holding that while you drive.
- [Olivia] Come on, say it.
- Hi, my name is Kait
and I am here in
the middle of nowhere
with my darling sister
to rehabilitate myself
the old-fashioned way by
running away from the world,
locking myself in a house,
and not going
near a needle or a line.
- [Olivia] Yeah, great.
- Just in time
for family Christmas.
- [Olivia] Come on, that's
it, was that so hard?
- Yeah, probably the hardest
thing I'll do this week.
Camera off now.
- [Olivia] No, we agreed, I'm
gotta document this whole week
It's extra pressure
for you to not do drugs
and well, you know, we just
need, we need them to see
that you're actually doing well.
- I know.
- It's okay, it's gonna be
okay, it'll all be great.
- It's okay, seriously,
it's fine, we don't hae to,
we can just do it.
Okay, I get it.
- No, stop it, stop it.
- [Kait] Creepy.
- [Olivia] It's not creepy.
(car door clanking)
Wow, look at how great I am.
(car doors thudding)
This is huge.
- This is not
where we're staying.
- [Olivia] This is absolutely
where we're staying.
- How did
your afford all this, this is,
it's basically the size
of a real rehab center.
- [Olivia]
Yeah. I called the owners
and they own
this whole property.
Woo.
- This whole property as in,
- [Olivia] Everything
we've been driving past
for the last 10 minutes.
- So we're like really
in the middle of nowhere.
- [Olivia] Well, what's
all this energy for?
Did you expect a creepy
cabin in the woods?
- It's a lot to take in.
Yes, of course,
I expected
a creepy cabin in the woods.
That's how it was pitched to me.
- Well, let's find the key.
- What is it, like a code?
- [Olivia] No, I think
it's like a key card.
It should be
under the mat, welcome.
. [Kait] It's a negative.
- [Olivia] Did
you actually check?
That was so half-assed.
Oh, very funny.
- Would you like me to
pick it up and
put it back down again.
- Come on, just have a look
for it, it should be somewhere.
(mat slaps)
- Yeah, and that's what
they said, under a mat?
- [Olivia] Again,
I should've checked.
Yeah, they said under a mat.
- And it's a key card?
- It's a key card.
Well, look at how big it is,
there's probably seven mats.
See if there's any more doors
because there might be
one that's unlocked.
There's a window,
okay, yep, great.
There's a window, we could
sneak into the window.
- You wanna break in?
- [Olivia] No, no, I did not
say break in, and we're not.
- Is that a bobby pin?
- No, no.
- Do you wanna get in or not?
- [Olivia] Not
with a bobby pin, no.
- With a rock?
(Kait banging)
Not exactly
an easy house to break into.
- [Olivia] Don't try
a bobby pin, okay, no.
- Come on.
- [Olivia] Because it
makes me really anxious.
- What do you suggest,
what do you suggest?
- No, it makes me
really anxious when you
try and destroy property.
- I'm anxious,
I wanna get inside.
I'm gonna look upstairs.
(footsteps tapping)
No luck here.
No (grunts), why are
these locks not pickable?
- [Olivia] I actually have
no idea what we're gonna do.
- Didn't you say
the owners live nearby?
- [Olivia] Well,
yeah, the owner lives
just across the woods,
but it's probably
like a 10-minute walk.
- Okay, do we just call them?
(crickets chirping)
- [Olivia] But, we don't
have our phones, right?
Did you actually
bring your phone?
Of course you did, give
it here, thank you.
Just never listen to any of
my rules, but sure, of course.
(phone beeping)
Come on.
(phone beeping)
No service, great.
I'm not giving that back.
You can have it back
at the end of the week.
- Are you serious?
- [Olivia] I actually don't
even care, I don't even care.
What are we doing?
What are, how
are we getting inside?
- [Kait] Yeah, I'm thinking.
(crickets chirping)
- [Olivia] Well, shit.
We are walking
alone in the woods now.
Great.
(footsteps crunching)
(crickets chirping)
Slow down.
- Keep up.
Come on.
It's kind of pretty.
- [Olivia] It is super pretty.
(footsteps crunching)
(crickets chirping)
(stick snaps)
Hello, future Kait,
who's watching
this, hopefully sober.
I love you and
I know you love me,
too, even though
you won't admit it.
(crickets chirping)
What?
I actually dunno where it is.
No, it's fine, it's
definite. I know where it is,
- You don't know where it is?
- But I don't know the exact
location,
I think it's further up here.
Come on.
- Hm, you don't sound confident.
- [Olivia] I am confident.
(footsteps crunching)
(crickets chirping)
Look, we're here, great.
- That's like
the exact same house.
Did we walk in a circle?
- What?
- It's just deja vu.
- [Olivia] This
isn't the same house,
our car's not out the front.
- [Kait] Why would somebody
need two identical houses?
(Olivia knocking)
(Olivia knocking)
- Hi.
- Okay, Olivia,
stop, they're not home.
- [Olivia] Well,
you don't know that,
they said they would be.
- They're probably away
for Christmas or something.
(crickets chirping)
(door creaking)
Here.
- What?
- There, look.
- [Olivia] Sorry, what?
(crickets chirping)
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- What's that?
- What is it?
- Be a nosy one.
- Oh, that's a key.
- That looks like a key.
You wait here, I'll be back.
- What?
I'll be back.
- [Olivia] That is a
cursed thing to say, Kait.
Cursed.
This is
a terrible, terrible idea.
(crickets chirping)
Oh, great, and she's using
the bobby pins again.
Mom would be so proud of her.
Oh yeah, great,
that's a criminal offense.
- Here, catch!
(keys jingling)
(Olivia exclaims)
- [Olivia]
You nearly broke the camera.
(keys jingling)
It's actually really rude, okay.
- Sorry to the camera.
Got the key, let's just go.
(footsteps crunching)
(crickets chirping)
- [Olivia]
Can't be much further.
(woman screaming)
What was that?
- It sounded like a scream.
- [Olivia] Well, it
can't have been a scream,
'cause nobody's
here, it was probably
an animal or something.
(static buzzing)
What are you doing, Kait?
Kait, where are you going?
- Mom?
(voices calling)
(static buzzing)
- [Olivia] Kait.
Kait, where are you going?!
- [Kait] Mom?
(voices calling)
- [Olivia] There's nobody there.
There's nobody there.
- It's mom.
(static buzzing)
She's trying to help.
She's trying to
help, that's mom.
(woman screaming)
(footsteps crunching)
- [Olivia]
You can't do this again.
We're on camera, they
can't see you like this.
- Katie, help.
- Kait, Kait,
you're close to the edge, Kait.
(crickets chirping)
Kait,
are you okay?
- I heard her, I heard mom.
I heard mom.
- We've been
through this before.
Nobody's here.
(crickets chirping)
- She,
she was calling out to me,
she was saying my name.
I know her voice,
I know what she said.
- [Olivia] It's
all in your head.
(static buzzing)
(Kait retching)
Jesus, are you okay?
- Stay away.
- [Olivia] It's all good,
we're gonna be okay.
(chimes ringing)
(door thuds)
Stay here.
I told them,
I told them no alcohol.
(item thuds)
- It's fine,
I'm not an alcoholic.
It's fine.
(wine gurgling)
- Oh yeah, you don't blame
any of your teen years
drinking with him.
- Oh my,
why are you bringing him
into this, are you serious?
You weren't even there, Olivia,
so how would you know
what led to all of this?
(wine gurgling)
(bottle clinks)
(cap rattling)
- [Olivia] Oh,
yeah, I wasn't there.
(water running)
Here, you know what you
need, a glass of water.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going to do
what we came here to do.
(Olivia gasps)
(pills rattling)
(pills clanking)
- [Kait] What are you doing?
- [Olivia] I told the
owners no alcohol, no drugs.
They didn't listen, so I'm
getting rid of it myself.
- You really think I'm gonna
be sneaking into the bathroom
to snort, what is this?
Some antihistamines,
you're sick.
- [Olivia] People
abuse them all the time
and I'm not taking any
more chances with you.
- I've been through this
shit before, Olivia.
I know how it works.
- I've been through
this shit before, as well.
Mom and I have
been with you every time,
so don't act like,
- No, you weren't.
No you weren't,
Olivia, not to begin with.
You couldn't
face any of this shit.
You never
wanted me in your life.
You just left me alone
with mom all
the time in that house.
And now she's gone and
you're filming everything,
pretending like you give a shit.
- [Olivia] Yeah,
'cause I give a shit.
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
That's why I am filming,
so that they can see this.
How many times have
we been through this?
Like, how many times
have I actually found you
drugged out of your mind?
- I don't know, what are
you doing, I don't know.
- Oh, you don't know.
- I don't know.
- [Olivia] Well,
why don't you say it?
Why don't you have
the courage to say it
for once because you do know.
- Maybe three times,
I don't know.
- [Olivia] Three times?
24, and you've been
to rehab three times.
Yeah, and who went
to check in with you?
Who has found you in the
middle of God knows where
like just fucking
drugged out of your mind?
- Mom.
- [Olivia] Bullshit.
She stopped being our mother
long before you were on drugs.
- But at least
she saw me as something as
more than a junkie.
At least she was there for me.
- [Olivia] No, no.
This, this, all of this,
none of this is normal.
You're struggling, I know that.
We all understand that,
oh, Kait is struggling,
but your pain and
misery absorbs everyone.
Like, I'm doing this for you
and I can only
do this so many times
because I have
a life outside of you
and I want you to have one, too,
so just let me get rid
of all of the drugs.
(footsteps echoing)
Okay.
(door whooshing)
(crickets chirping)
Hi.
I made you some dinner.
It's vegan so
you can actually eat it.
Kait.
Kait.
- I remember.
- [Olivia] What?
- I remember every relapse,
every near death experience.
I remember all of it.
And I remember
you being there, too.
(footsteps squeaking)
- [Olivia] Well, that's
probably the closest thing
I'll get to an apology.
(water splashing)
(colander clicks)
(footsteps echoing)
Hey, you haven't
unpacked your suitcase.
- I'm watching TV.
- [Olivia] Yeah, and I'm
telling you that you haven't
unpacked your suitcase.
- Why can't I just watch TV?
- [Olivia] Come on.
It'll be fun,
we can unpack together.
- I wasn't really gonna unpack,
I was just gonna
live outta my suitcase.
- [Olivia] Well, that's
cool, but your suitcase
can live upstairs.
Come on.
Yes, food down,
pause, great, beautiful.
Good job, step by step.
Do you need a hand with that?
Okay.
(suitcase clanking)
Is it heavy?
Aw, aw, can't reach.
No, you can't go in there.
- Why?
- That's my room.
It has the en
suite, I want that.
- Okay, where am I staying?
- Up here.
- Great, yeah, cool.
- Well, I booked it.
- Yeah, okay.
- I booked it.
- I'll just go
to one of
the rooms without an en suite
and vomit on the carpet then.
(suitcase clanking)
- [Olivia] Great.
Okay, okay, wait.
- What?
- No, no, that's fair, you can
have the one with the en suite.
I don't want
you vomiting on the carpet.
- Thank you.
- [Olivia] Come
on, that's good, steps,
getting those
steps up for the day.
- I'm so, so appreciative.
- [Olivia] Happy?
- Is that my Christmas present?
- - [Olivia] What?
Oh my God, I'm so,
I'm so sorry,
I didn't even see that.
- [Kait] It's fine.
- No, it's not.
- It's fine, Olivia,
seriously, it's fine.
- It's not.
- [Kait] I'm not an alcoholic.
Don't worry about it, don't
freak out, just give it.
You don't have to freak
out every time you see
a bottle of booze, okay,
I'm not an alcoholic.
- [Olivia] Let me
take the precautions,
I need to keep you sober.
- Hey, hey,
I'm just saying,
not an alcoholic.
It's fine.
(ominous tone plays)
- [Olivia] What the shit?
Oh, wonderful, no power,
that's really wonderful, okay.
(crickets chirping)
Great.
Okay,
(crickets chirping)
That's fine.
Where's the power box?
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps crunching)
(Olivia mumbling)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps crunching)
Electric circuit, yes, okay.
Oh, please don't
be spiders, oh, okay.
(door creaking)
Oh no, okay,
this is not gonna work.
Look down there.
(door creaking)
Oh!
Is that on?
(door creaking)
All right.
Okay, okay,
okay, that's a bit much.
Yeah, none of that worked.
Okay, screw this, I'm going
inside, I'm going to bed.
Okay, okay.
(door rattling)
Great, locked.
(door sliding)
Not locked.
(lock clicks)
That's why we check.
Just check.
(footsteps creaking)
Oh, downstairs, okay, well,
(door rattling)
(door squeaking)
(crickets chirping)
It is so dark out here.
Okay.
(door sliding)
(door rattling)
Great, and no one's getting
into the guest house.
Actually scared,
so let's get up.
(crickets chirping)
(door slides and thuds)
(lock clicks)
Oof.
(footsteps echoing)
(door clicking)
(footsteps thumping)
Kait?
- [Kait] What?
- [Olivia] Nothing.
(footsteps creaking)
(doors rattling)
(item bangs)
(Olivia screams)
(footsteps thudding)
(Olivia panting)
Kait, Kait, Kait, Kait,
are you using?
Did you take some drugs?
Come on, what is it, what
do you have in there?
Show me, show me.
- I'm not using.
I have a headache and I
need some paracetamol.
Guess what, Olivia?
- What?
- Guess what?
You flushed them
all down the toilet.
- [Olivia] Stop, stop!
- Do you know (gasping),
do you know how many drugs
they get us in a rehab?
They put us on
medication after medication
after medication
so that we don't
nick ourselves
from the withdrawals.
And how many did
you bring here, huh?
Please, please tell me,
please enlighten me, Olivia,
on what you have planned for me
on this stupid
self-rehabilitation shitshow
that you put together.
- [Olivia] Oh,
this is a shitshow?
- Yes.
- This is a shitshow rehab?
What about the shitshow
rehab you came from
where you stabbed a doctor?
(Kait grunts)
- It was an accident.
- It was not an accident.
- He was fine.
- [Olivia] That's
not the point. Kait.
You stabbed a doctor, and
then you ran away from rehab,
and then you begged me,
begged me to stay quiet
and to help you,
to help you get clean,
to show these doctors that
you're not just like some,
like you're really, really
not just some psychopath.
(Kait panting)
- This was a mistake.
- [Olivia] No.
(door thuds)
NO, you're not, Kait.
What, what?
Weren't we just here?
(door thuds)
(Oliva panting)
Kait,
Kait, what are you doing?
- Piss off.
- [Olivia] You can't leave.
- I am going, Olivia, I
need to get away from you.
- [Olivia] No, you just need to
rest and then
we can actually
talk about this in morning.
- Get away from me, and get
the camera outta my face,
Olivia, okay,
we're done, it's done.
- No.
- It's done.
- We're not
doing this shit anymore.
- [Olivia]
We cannot stop filming.
We agreed I have to keep filming
because they've
gotta be able to see
that if you turn up sober,
that you are actually sober.
They need proof,
after what you did
they're not just
gonna believe you.
Or do you even
remember why we're here?
- (scoffs) You don't even
know why we're here, Olivia.
You have no idea,
you still don't get it.
And I'm trying,
but you have no idea
what it's like in
my head when I'm sober.
Okay, you don't
get the nightmares
and you don't, (screams),
you don't hear the screaming.
And then you sit here
and you tell me
that I need to get sober
for you and for them, and
how dare you when you have
no idea what
it's like in my head.
How dare you try to save me?
- Kait, stop.
- The only days
where I can get any form
of silence in my head or I
can get through the whole day
without thinking
about nicking myself
are the days where I'm on drugs.
So don't sit there and
act like you have any idea
about what it takes for me to
get sober, because you don't.
I don't think,
I don't, I actually even
think I care anymore, Olivia.
I don't, I don't
care anymore, Olivia.
You weren't there
then, you weren't there,
you're never gonna understand.
You're never gonna be mom.
You;re trying to be someone
you;re not and it's not working,
so just give up (sniffles).
I'm telling you,
I'm literally telling you
I can't get better, okay.
So just give up,
it's not gonna happen.
- [Olivia] Yeah,
yeah. I know that, Kait.
I can't spend
forever sitting here trying
to get you clean
over and over again.
I have to do what,
I have to do what mom,
what mom wanted
to do for so long,
what mom threatened to do,
but she could never do it,
she wasn't strong enough.
- What are you talking about?
- [Olivia] No, no, no.
I have to leave you.
I have to leave,
because I cannot die,
I cannot die from
being young and stressed
from you just like mom did.
- You can't blame me for that.
- [Olivia] t's not your
fault that she died but,
and you weren't even
there when she passed.
And she called
out to you, you know?
- What do you mean?
- Her final words.
Kait,
you trapped her all
the way to her death.
And I'm not gonna be like that,
I'm not gonna be like mom.
- Stop it, stop it, stop it.
Is this real?
Did you mean that stuff
or are you just saying it?
- [Olivia]
I meant every word I said.
- Stop filming.
- [Olivia] No.
- I'm serious, Olivia,
- No, no,
- Stop filming, stop it!
- No, no.
- Give it to me.
- No, you don't know
what you're doing.
- Give me the camera, give it!
(sisters screaming and rustling)
Let go!
- Ow.
- [Kait] How do you
like it, how do you like
having a camera in your face,
being filmed while you're down?
- Oh my God.
- [Kait] Here's my sister,
everybody,
here's my hero.
Ah, sister reveal, look at her.
- Stop, stop,
Kait, I'm actually hurt.
- [Kait] No,
I don't think I will, Olivia,
'cause the camera loves you.
Do you have anything to say?
Do you anything to
say to our audience?
They wanna hear from you?
- You're
scaring me, please stop.
- [Kait] Hi, my name's
Olivia, my name's Olivia.
My sister, she's a junkie.
- Kait, Kait,
just give me the camera.
- [Kait] Come on, come get it,
come get it, Olivia, come on.
(door thuds)
(floorboards squeaking)
Come and get it, Olivia.
(floorboards squeaking)
Don't leave
your audience waiting.
I don't know everyone, it
sounds like she might be shy.
Are you shy?
You didn't hurt yourself
that bad, come out.
(door rattling and creaking)
Okay.
(Kait exclaims)
Where are you, Olivia?
I know you're gonna
jump out and scare me.
Boo.
All right, Olivia, not funny.
Yep, you've succeeded,
I'm scared, where are you?
Did you go to bed, huh?
(footsteps thudding)
(Kait singing tune)
(Kait knocking)
Good morning.
Come out and play.
(door rattling)
Do you want me to keep filming?
Okay.
(stairs creaking)
We can play.
As you put these
out, that's very cute.
Enjoy your stay,
(floorboards squeaking)
Olivia.
Okay, so,
what, this is
the most elaborate game
of hide and seek ever,
in the dark.
(floorboards squeaking)
(Kait thwacks door)
(door rattling)
You know, I love this
game, I think this is sick.
(Kait exclaims)
You're very good.
You got better,
I see, better at hiding.
Olivia, what are you doing?
Olivia?
Olivia, is it?
What the shit?
Hey, who are you?
Listen, you can't
be here, this isn't,
Okay.
I'll call the cops.
(floorboards squeaking)
Shit.
(floorboards squeaking)
(women screaming)
(women screaming)
(Kait panting)
(woman screaming)
(Kait sobbing)
Olivia, where are yoU?
(switch flicking)
(door creaking)
(door creaking)
(Kait panting)
(floorboards squeaking)
(door rattling)
(woman screaming)
What the hell (panting).
Didn't I just,
wasn't that the front door?
How is this possible?
(floorboards squeaking)
(woman screaming)
(door thuds)
There is no way.
(woman screaming)
(door thuds)
(Kait panting)
And now I'm downstairs.
Where can Olivia be?
(door rattling)
(door sliding)
What?
(door sliding)
(Kait muttering)
How do I get out of here?
(woman screaming)
(Kait panting)
(slaps thwack)
(woman screaming)
(footsteps thumping)
(woman screaming)
(slaps thwack)
(woman screaming)
(blows thudding)
I'm gonna find,
find, find, shit.
It's probably in Olivia's room.
(floorboards squeaking)
Shit.
(slaps thwacking)
(woman screaming)
(woman screaming)
Shit, back downstairs.
(footsteps tapping)
Okay, let's try this door.
(door rattling)
It actually worked.
(door thuds)
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
If that was my
bitch sister (mutters).
(suitcase rattling)
(items rustling)
(woman screaming)
(door rattling)
(door thuds)
(woman screaming)
(combatants grunting)
(Kait grunts)
(Kait panting)
(door thuds)

(Kait panting)
Kait?
Can you hear,
- Olivia?
Olivia, where are you?
I'm here, I can
hear you, where are you?
Where are you?
- I'm here,
in the house, I never left.
- [Kait] Neither did I,
I couldn't,
I'm coming,
I'm coming.
I'm coming to
find you, where are you?
- [Olivia] Just follow my voice.
I can hear you, too, oh
my God, you must be quiet.
(floorboards squeaking)
- [Kait] We're
gonna get out of here.
Please be the right door,
please be the right door.
Olivia,
Olivia,
(door thuds)
Olivia, are you in here?
- Kait.
- Olivia?
Where are you?
- I'm here,
but I can't see you.
- [Kait] Okay,
which room are you in?
- [Olivia]
The guest house, where are you?
- [Kait] Same.
Olivia, is
the power on where you are.
- [Olivia] Yeah,
it came back on, why?
- [Kait] This is
gonna sound crazy,
but the power's still out here.
I think you're
in the owner's house.
- Okay.
- Yeah, I think,
maybe somehow
when I closed the door,
the locks changed, this
place somehow sent you there.
You're so close.
(woman screaming)
Was that a screen?
- [Olivia] Kait,
Kait, somebody's here.
There's a woman.
(woman screaming)
- [Kait] Wait, if she's
there, that must mean
there's a way to get to you.
There a door,
there's a way to get to you.
I can get to you.
(woman screaming)
Olivia, listen, you
have to run, okay, okay.
I'm gonna find you, I'm
gonna come find you.
(Olivia panting and sobbing)
I can find you.
(woman screaming)
I'm gonna find you.
(Kait inhales)
(high-pitch tone squealing)
Let's find a way out of here.
Might as well
start with the front door.
(door thuds)
Door to Olivia's room, okay.
(door rattling)
Olivia's bedroom
to a bathroom, okay.
Okay, so
bathroom goes downstairs.
(door sliding)
Okay, and now I'm back upstairs.
(door rattling)
Okay, hello bedroom.
(door rattling)
Now I'm back here.
Okay, right,
gotta keep following this.
(doors rattling)
(Kait panting)
(door rattling)
It's locked.
It's perhaps the only exit.
How many pathways
could there possibly be?
(door rattling)
Great, another
toilet, that's awesome.
Okay, front door leads
to Olivia's bedroom.
My door leads to the spare room.
That one leads to my bedroom.
And let's try this one.

through this together.
Just need to open the door.

me in, you're gonna be
in so much
trouble, open the door!

(Kait sobbing)
(woman exclaiming)

Oh, my God.

It's fine, she's not here.
You can come

- You found a way in.
- [Kait] Yeah.
- How?
- [Kait] I don't
know, I don't know,
I just kept going through
the doors until I found you.
- (panting) Hi.
- [Kait] Hi.
- Wait, wait, wait,
are you still filming?
- [Kait] Yeah, well,
that was the plan, right?

come to mommy, come on.
We're going inside now?
No?
(video muttering)
- [Kait] Is this you?

gonna be a big sister soon.
Olivia's gonna come along before
you know it, just like you.
No, why would
you do that now, honey?
Honey, be careful.
- You need to calm down.
Sit down (mutters).
Give me the glass,

Give me,

How long has he been here?
How long have you been here?

shining that bright light?
What's happening here?
- I don't know.
- Who are you?
- [Kait] I'm Kait.
- No, I'm Kait.
- [Olivia] No, no,
you're the owner, right?
I thought
your voice sounded familiar.
I called you to organize
all of this, remember.
I'm Olivia and this is Kait.
- [Kait] No, no,
I'm not, I'm Kait.
I think I'm stuck here, okay,
I think we're all stuck
here, all the other mes.
I've been here before.
I've been you before,
you just arrived, right?
You heard screaming in
the woods and you threw up
and you came here.
- We didn't go to the woods.
- We picked up the keys
at the other house,
just like you instructed
(crickets chirping)
- Who are you really?
- [Kait] What do you mean?
- You're not me.
- [Kait] No, I am you, I am you.
I am you.
- Kait,
be nice, this is the owner.
She gave up everything
for you to get better.
- [Kait] No, I'm not the owner.
I'm not giving anything up.
I'm you.
I'm you.
- What are you doing here?
- [Kait] I'm
trying to get better.
I'm trying to get out of here.
- You don't need to get better.
- [Kait] No, no, I do.
I need to get us better.
- I will get better,
because of you,
because of this place,
everything you've done.
I can get better now.
I think it's
time for you to leave.
- [Kait] What, no, no.
Listen, I can help.
I can help, I wanna help.
You're gonna get stuck
here the same as me.
I can get us all out of
here, I know what to do.
- [Olivia] Get out.
Go.
- Please.
No, I can get better.
I can get us better,
everything's gonna be fine.
I can help you, you guys
are gonna get stuck here.
You're gonna get stuck and
don't push me out of this door.
- Go.
- Please, please,
please listen to me, please.
(woman screaming)
No, please, please,
please, I'm just, I'm just,
I'm just trying to get better.
I know how to do it now.
I know how to do it now.
Let me try again (sniffles),
I'll get it right this time.
I will get it right this time,
please, let me try again.
Please, let me
try again (sniffles).
(woman screaming)
(electronics beeping)
- [Kait] What do
you want me to say,
what do you want me to say,
what do you want me to say?
- Here to do.
- Party.
- We're not here to party.
Come on, say it.
- Hi, my name is Kait
and I am here in
the middle of nowhere
with my darling sister
to rehabilitate myself
the old-fashioned way by
running away from the world,
locking myself in a house
and not going
near a needle or a line.
- [Olivia] Yeah, great.
- Just in time
for family Christmas.
- [Olivia] Was that so hard?
Yeah, probably the hardest
thing I'll do this week.
Camera off now.
- [Olivia] No, we agreed,
I've gotta
document this whole week.
It's extra pressure
for you to not do drugs
and, well,
we just need them to see
that you're actually doing well.
- I know.
- [Olivia] It's
okay, it's gonna be okay.
It'll all be great.
- It's okay, seriously,
it's fine,
we don't have to, we can,
we can just do it.
Okay, I get it.
("Fire Dancer" by John Lawrie
& the Welcome Strangers)
Like a drunken fire dancer
I'll get burned
to keep you laughing
Don't come to me
looking for answers
'Cause I can't
high on circumstances
("Fire Dancer" continues)
Like a picture on the wall
A frozen smile
can fool them all
Don't come to me
when you're alone, no
'Cause I'll be
putting on a show
I'm at the end of my rope
At least this
time there's no knot
This lack of
self-preservation
Is all I've got
So like
a drunken fire dancer
I'll get burned
to keep you laughing
("Fire Dancer" continues)
