The Reading (2023) Movie Script
0
Start from the beginning for us.
Okay.
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
Hey, my baby!
Hi, my sweet sugar.
I'm gonna get you.
Oh, them kisses so good.
Them kisses!
What you gonna do about it?
Who's Mommy's favorite
Kyren in the world?
Me!
Who's my favorite Kyren?
Okay, go back upstairs and Mommy's gonna
come up and run your bath water, okay?
Okay.
Go ahead.
Well listen, now.
What am I supposed to do
with all this love? Huh?
All this love. Oh!
How my baby doing?
Which one of us do
you love the most?
Oh, now Kendall.
You know which one
I love the most?
Come close, cause
I gotta tell you.
I love the one the most...
who's room is clean right now.
Mom!
Yes. Yes!
Pinky bear swear.
You ready for dinner?
Yeah.
Okay. Where's Daddy?
Hers or yours?
Ew! Gross!
Well, hello there.
Hers now. Mine later.
How you doing?
Never better than
getting home to you.
Okay, sweet talker. Okay.
You have a lot more work to do.
Well, I have a few things I
need to finish up, but...
I shouldn't be long.
Well get finished...
So you'll be there and
ready for dinner.
I got a little something
for you later.
Go get it done.
Uh huh.
I see you've been working out.
I like it!
Yeah.
Dunk! Dunk dunk.
Alexa,
turn down.
Alexa,
turn up.
Aaaah!
I woke up some
time later...
to nothing.
And I think about that moment
almost every day.
Emma, what you've been through
is unimaginable.
You being able to speak
and to write about it...
is incredible.
I don't want people...
to see me as a victim.
I just don't want the
death of my family...
to fade away.
Emma, thank you so
much for coming today.
I wish I had more time to
dive in deep with you.
We'll have you back soon.
The brave Emma Leeden,
ladies and gentlemen.
And get her book, The Invasion.
She feels peaceful.
She used to worry about
you a lot, didn't she?
Yeah.
She always wanted me to do
more in college than just,
you know, party.
Actually get an education.
She's very proud of you.
She is?
Yes.
I have to close the door now.
Bye, mom.
Johnny.
Yeah?
Your mom has a question
and a request, but...
I think the door is closing.
Wait, please find
out what it is.
I'm trying.
She asked if you can wire money out of your
trust fund to the Kids for Kids Organization.
I mean, yeah,
I thought she didn't want me to
touch it until after college.
She says, Don't ask any-
She says, Don't ask any-
Mom?
Mom, you there?
She is.
She says, Don't question her.
Yeah, of course.
Anything you want.
Anything else?
Oh no. Thank
you. We're good.
You want something?
No.
What are you thinking?
You know what I'm thinking.
I told you.
I don't want to do this anymore.
So what are you
going to do, quit?
Okay.
Think about it.
How you gonna pay for school
next year, if we stop now?
You gonna get a job?
You know your school
schedule wouldn't allow it.
And what about Randy and Jess?
What about your mom?
Don't bring my mother into this.
How can I not, Sky?
Y'all are literally waiting for the landlord to
come down when they feel like it to put you out.
Look. I get it.
Fuck us. Okay?
But what about her?
It's not fuck y'all?
It's just...
Nothing.
What is it you're
not telling me?
Hm?
You can just say it.
I don't read minds.
What's really up?
You remember that guy, Johnny?
Yeah, the white boy
from the last reading.
What about him?
His mom came so close
to touching me.
And I tried
my hardest to push her back.
And I tried my hardest
to push her back.
But she was so angry.
And so strong.
I'm sorry.
I mean, everything was
just flowing so smoothly I...
I mean you didn't say
anything, so I...
But what were you scared for?
I mean, you don't even know what
happens when they touch you.
They never touched you,
right?
Fuck... Sky!
When I was a kid.
What happens when
they touch you?
They possess you.
Mama!
I'm in my room.
Ah! Martha's Vineyards!
Dumb asses.
Hey, Mama.
Hey, baby.
How was class?
You know. Same old.
Still teaching you
shit you already know.
Pretty much.
You just a head smarter
than the bunch.
That's all.
I was like that.
You know you got that brain
of yours from me, right?
Yeah, I know.
Kazakhstan!
Untapped jewel.
18 million population.
Hey, did you get that
money I left you?
Yeah.
Speaking of that, where'd
you get that money from?
Now I don't want you doing nothing you don't
need to be doing to get in trouble now, Skeeter.
No, ma'am.
I got these bills.
They're not yours, you hear me?
Now, I need you to concentrate
on your schooling.
Mama, no. It's just a little
part time work I'm doing.
Well, keep your money!
I got these bills.
Now. I need you to
just finish school.
Become that doctor,
and come back and
get your old mama.
Until then, don't worry about
these bills. I got them.
I got a friend
come over tonight.
Bring me some money.
A friend?
Are they um...
coming over to just drop
off money and leave?
What you just say?
Now I need you to
finish your schooling.
And I will take care
of these bills.
You hear me?
Cats!
Knew that shit.
Sky-Ry! Hey.
Hey, Jessie.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Randy's not with you?
Oh, yeah. He's outside parking.
I saw Greg parking too.
You and Greg didn't
ride together?
No. I took the Zip.
The Zip?
You and Greg okay?
Yeah, we're fine.
Okay.
So what's up?
Well,
I wanted to talk to you first before
we all came together as a group.
Okay?
What's up?
Something wrong?
No.
Nothing's wrong.
I feel like I owe
you a heads up.
Oh, well.
You're a little too
late for that.
Greg already spilled it.
He did?
Yeah.
Why you acting like
it's a bad thing?
I just didn't know
how you react.
What do you mean, how I'd react?
How do I always
react to new marks?
What did you just say?
Our new mark,
Emma Leeden.
She's an author.
Her sister-in-law, Ashley, is
wanting to do a reading for her.
The great thing is
they think Sky's a fraud, so
they don't really care.
What's the catch?
There isn't one.
See, Ashley is also her PR and they
think that this will help sell her book.
Easy Money.
Now Emma will be wanting
to talk to her family.
Her husband and two children were killed
in a home invasion about two years ago.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
The husband, Matthew, Leeden.
He sells diamonds or some shit.
They came in to get the diamonds
at the house that he lives in.
They killed him
and the kids.
Emma, the wife, barely survived.
Barely? Like, how barely?
I mean, they beat her,
stabbed her,
and cut off one of her
fingers, barely barely.
Holy shit.
Yo!
Now this is a whole new level.
Like, we've dealt with people that have lost loved ones
to, like, diabetes and cancer or old age or some shit.
But this shit?
Murder?
She probably unstable her damn
self, let alone some fucking ghost.
Yeah, I figured that.
They're paying 20 grand.
- 20 what?
- Whoa!
Yeah.
That's five K each.
And if the pay is 20,
we can get a hundred K
if we play it right.
Ooh, hundred K!
Yeah, she's loaded.
Plus, after this,
we can put this online and
everybody would be paying as much.
Well.
I'm in.
Yeah. Hell,
yeah. Me too.
But as y'all know,
it's not on us.
It's on you, Sky.
Sky. Sky!
Sky!
Sky-Ry.
What you do?
Sky, hold up a sec.
Sky, hold up.
Could you just listen
to me for a sec?
Listen to you?
I did.
I just did.
I listened to you set me
up to be the let down.
The bad guy in front
of our friends.
I listened to you talk,
but obviously you didn't hear
shit I had to say this morning.
- Sky, it was not even like that.
- Then how is it?
I told you I was scared, and
you go find another gig?
Hey, listen, it wasn't-
Then you push us going
public after I told you
I didn't want my
mother finding out.
So explain to me how it is then.
If you just listen to me, I'm trying to explain
to you that that's why I called the meeting.
Okay?
So we can talk about
your feelings and...
and figure it out.
But...
I mean, I got this call about
this Emma lady, and they
they started talking
about 20 grand.
That's 20 K, Sky.
And that bought you off?
20 grand is how much my
fear is worth to you?
Cause that's what it is.
Fear.
I'm scared.
Sky...
I know.
But we talking
about a hundred K.
They think it's fake
anyway! But it's not!
It's real.
It...
is real.
That ain't it.
That ain't it. That ain't it.
I know why wolves
don't get caught.
It's cause they
dressed like sheep.
Hey, what's up?
I'll do it.
Okay.
I'll set it up.
Hand me that.
Thank you.
Hey, Sky.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Look, Sky, I...
I know that I didn't set this
up the way that I should've,
but, I mean,
this shit just
seemed so perfect.
I mean, it practically
fell in our laps.
I get it.
And I do understand what
you were trying to do,
but you failed...
terribly.
You forgive me?
Yes.
But look,
everybody got to find
their own way after this.
This is it.
- Okay.
- Okay?
I get it.
I'm serious.
Okay.
Yoo hoo.
Look.
She may forgive you,
but I don't.
So...
you better hope...
this goes as smooth as you
think it's going to go.
Because if it doesn't,
We're...
gonna have a problem.
Okay, buddy?
Yeah.
Good talk.
Hello. Hello.
Welcome. Come in.
How you doing?
Hey.
Uh, Ms. Ashley?
Um, Gregory?
- Yeah.
- Nice to meet you.
This is Randy.
They'll be the ones
assisting today.
And...
this is Sky.
Nice to meet you all.
Ashley Leeden.
Emma! Honey!
Yeah?
Your guests are here, honey.
Okay, I'm coming.
Randy, what's wrong?
This is, like, the only place
that I get any service,
if I move even a little bit,
I get nothing.
I don't think we're going to be
able to upload while we're here.
Yeah, this house is
probably in a dead zone.
What, you mean like a
supernatural dead zone?
No.
I mean, like the Internet
is dead in this house.
Yeah, right.
Emma.
This is Gregory.
This is the young man we
spoke to on the phone.
Hello.
And this is his team.
Hi.
Emma, this is Sky.
Sky's the one doing
your reading today.
Sky.
I've heard some
amazing
yet hard to believe
things about you.
So I'm
I'm pleased to meet you, Sky.
Thank you.
And I hope I can help
you in some way today.
Well, um...
What do you need from me?
Just a room for them
to set up, and...
maybe a little look
around, if that's okay?
Sure, sure.
You guys can use the dining room
and feel free to move things
around if you need to.
And Ash, if you wouldn't mind
if you could
go and finish the
refreshments...
refreshments
for me. Okay?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Jessie, is it?
Yes, ma'am.
Can you assist me, hun?
Sure.
Come on.
Sky, I'm gonna took
you on a tour.
Hey.
Are you good with this?
Yeah.
It'll help.
Whose room was this?
This was Kendall's room.
Kyren's room is down there.
He was five.
May I?
Yeah. Yeah.
Most things
in the house,
I really didn't touch.
And...
I...
try not to come
up here too much.
I know you've
heard this before, but
I'm truly sorry.
I don't know what I would do
if I lost my family like that.
Me either.
My kids.
You know?
I'm so sorry.
My babies.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
You
would think
it would get easier having
these conversations.
Okay.
Okay.
I got cameras
in and out,
all around.
I got hammer glass
for the windows with metal inner
panels and locks.
Steel reenforced oak
front door.
I even got a damn gun
that I don't know how to use.
That sounds silly.
Cause anything can still happen.
But I need as much
fake protection
around me
just so I can function
every day.
Wi-Fi connection
still isn't working.
We're going to have to
record straight to hard drive.
This house kills the Wi-Fi.
I'll get you a copy of the
recording before we go.
Just as long as we
get it recorded.
I want what I paid for.
I want what I paid for.
Ashley!
What?
Don't be rude.
Okay.
You ready?
Yeah.
You sure, Sky?
Because we really
ain't got to do this.
Jesse.
I'm sure.
Okay.
We're all set then.
I need you to just relax.
I need you to clear your mind
of anything not in this moment,
of anything that takes
you away from this room.
I need you to just be here.
Take deep breaths with me.
You ready?
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
Emma.
Say their names and repeat.
Okay.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall
Again.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Kendall.
Wait!
Oh shit.
That's interesting.
I heard footsteps.
How did you do that?
Your favorite color is teal.
Not green.
Not blue, but specifically teal.
You're a Scorpio.
You loved to cook
for your family.
Seafood.
Crawfish.
You would season them so well. That
when you ate them, your fingers burned.
That's every
Black person in America.
Tell us something we don't know.
Hey.
Ok.
Come on now.
I'm sorry. Go on.
This feels different.
What does?
Kyren loved dressing himself.
He had so much energy.
He used to argue with you about
wearing his rain boots on sunny days.
You're right.
How do you
How do you-
Kendall was different.
She was to herself.
She was more like her dad, but
really girly.
She loved her mommy.
She knew mommy gave her and Kyren
anything to make them happy.
She would wear dresses she hated
just for you.
She used to imitate
you perming your hair
because you forbid
her to do hers.
She loved Kyren, but
she hated she had to
babysit him all the time.
You would always reward her
for being a great big sister,
And you would promise her things
if she did what you asked.
And you sealed it with...
a pinky
bear
swear.
Could...
could you excuse
me for a second?
This is...
this is too much.
Em.
You're good.
Really good.
Let me get her back.
How you...
How you feeling?
I'm Okay.
What did you mean by
it feels different?
It just felt weird.
Weird, how?
It felt like something was
suffocating already around the door.
We talk an angry, suffocating?
Yes.
Aye, this shit don't
feel right, yo.
That, I can agree on.
I think we need to wrap this up.
Agreed. Let's
cut this short. Come on.
No.
Sky.
Babe, come on.
No!
We do this for money
all the time.
But
Did you hear what
happened to her?
Did you see her?
If it had happened
to one of y'all?
Wouldn't you want
to hear from them?
To know if they're okay?
I would be the lowest
piece of shit human
to let her keep that last memory when I
know I could bring her some type of peace.
Sky...
You said it yourself.
You felt something.
What was that?
I don't know what that was.
But we will face it,
finish it,
and be done with this shit.
It'll be okay.
Emma, you okay?
What's going on?
Huh?
Okay.
So I may have told them
just a few things
about your family,
just to make it look a
little more real on camera.
Ashley,
are you serious?
How was I supposed to know she
would do the knee jerk, creepy shit?
Well,
you should've let me know.
That dug up a lot for me.
I'm sorry.
What else do I need to be
prepared for?
Honestly, that's it.
I don't even remember
telling her half that shit.
But it was probably obvious
by the tour you gave her.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I'm actually really curious to
see what she comes up with.
She's out of material.
Well,
I'm not.
Are you okay?
I am.
Are you ready to continue?
I'd like to fully connect now.
You didn't
fully connect the last time?
What was that?
Your intro?
May I?
You may.
Repeat their names...
slowly.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Again.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Jessie!
No, it's...
it's hiked.
It's never been this high.
- It's never been this high.
- Sky baby, it's okay.
It's never been this high.
Sky.
She's burning up.
She's burning up! Get
the ice. Come on.
- She's burning up!
- I got it.
Get the ice.
Sky?
Greg?
Look.
What do we do?
The fuck.
Is she gonna...
Is she gonna...
Hey! Shh!
Hey, turn down the monitor.
What is that?
That sounds like typing
coming from Matthew's office.
That's creepy.
How did you do-
Paul!
I need this?
You hear me?
You said it would be six
months before we see a return.
It's been two years.
This is killing me, Paul.
If something doesn't happen soon,
I won't make it out of this quarter.
Else?
What do you mean else?
This is it.
This is everything.
Why would I have anything
else prepared for something
my friend said was
a for sure thing?
I don't need that
unicorn shit, Paul.
I need results.
Yes, I hear you.
But I heard this
from you before.
A shell of a woman
Living but not alive.
A shell of a woman
What is this?
What is this? without
a heart I can't survive.
I never
spoke about this song.
How does she
know this song, Ashley?
I didn't know anything
about this song.
What song is this?
Hey, are you up?
What are you doing? LOL
My mom's making me go to the
fundraiser at school tomorrow.
Let's just stop this, Ashley.
Why would you do this?
How?
How could you do this?
I didn't know anything
about this. Hey!
Can you stop?
Hey! Hey, this is not how
this works. Do not touch her.
Well, then make her stop.
Sad face emoji.
Stop her!
We can't.
This has never happened before.
Ashley, I want you to stop her.
Stop her!
Can you stop, please!?
Thank you!
I done came down.
I done came far.
I'ma be driving in my
candy painted car.
Hey, Mommy.
What you doing?
Kyren?
N... no.
No.
This is too much.
We need to cut this.
- This is too much.
- This is too much.
We need to cut this.
Y'all will get what I
promised I'd pay you.
Let's just wrap it.
Let's just wrap it.
Let's just wrap it.
Sky's still connected.
Sky.
Sky, baby.
What's happening to her?
Sky, baby.
I got it.
- She's so hot.
- 180
I got it.
Temp.
You ok?
Temp.
We gotta snap her out of it.
- No, no, Greg! No.
- Hey! Come out of it.
We gotta snap her out of it.
Don't shake her.
We gotta snap her out of it.
I don't know what I
would do to her.
Okay, so what do we do?
I don't know!
I don't know. It just...
- It can't take this.
- Hey, baby.
Her body can't take this.
You know what?
You know what, Greg?
This is your fault.
My fault?
Yes. Sky had that
meeting to talk about quitting.
But you didn't do that, did you?
Jessie, this isn't the
time or the place.
You're right.
This is a fucked up time and a fucked
up place that we're in because of you!
Me!?
- Guys.
- Yes, you!
Me!?
I didn't even know this
was going to happen!
Well, maybe she did!
Maybe she knew, and that's
why she was scared.
But no!
You wanted to get a hundred
K out of this lady,
And you didn't care
what any of us said
in order to get it. Now did you?
Oh, come on now.
In order to get it. Now did you?
This isn't just on me!
You didn't give us a chance
to say anything, Greg!
You didn't give us a chance!
She told me on the way
here that she was scared.
Exactly!
Okay?
You had a chance to back
out, and you didn't!
Get out of my face!
Hey, it doesn't matter anymore.
What matters is Sky.
Now what the fuck do we do!?
Sky, baby baby, you ok?
- Hey! Hey hey hey-hey.
- W-wait! Hey. Hey, baby.
- Look at me.
- Hey, you ok?
Let me get your pulse. What happened?
Whaty. W-whappened? What's wrong? aby.
- Look at me.
- Hey, you ok?
What does she see?
She locked us in.
No, that's not what she's doing.
Aye, lady!
You need to open the doors.
Calm down.
That is not what she's doing.
You calm down.
Don't raise your voice at me little girl!
You need to calm down!
You're making the
situation worse.
I'm making the situation worse?
You need to address the lady that
just locked the fucking door!
- Jesse.
- What!?
Be cool.
Miss Leeden.
Look, we apologize.
You need to unlock these doors
so we can be on our way.
Now, we haven't taken any money,
so there's no harm done here.
Look, lady, I said as
nicely as I possibly can.
Emma!
They're just kids!
The money isn't worth it.
Okay.
Miss Leeden...
We didn't take any money.
And we're not going
to say anything.
Can you just please
open the doors...
so we can get him some help.
Miss Leeden.
Open the doors, please.
Boogieman!
That's funny as shit to me.
Huh?
Okay.
Go on tell your friends
why they can't leave.
Because...
she killed...
her family.
You did it?
Ah!
Aah. Shit!
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on, stay strong.
Stay strong.
I did.
They're bulletproof, y'all.
They're what?
I need you to do me a favor.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shh.
I need you to tell the family
that I said hello.
Everybody hide.
Now.
God damn it.
Any luck?
No, they're locked.
Shit. I
think we're trapped in here.
Wait.
- What?
- Hide. Hide.
Where?
Here. In here.
Come here, come here.
Squeeze in here.
Come on. Come on.
Just stay right there.
Randy, what are you gonna do?
Just stay in here.
Come on, get in there. Come on.
Randy, just get in here.
You know, I can't fit in there!
Randy!
Just stay here!
I'll be right back, okay?
Just stay there.
Children...
Didn't your mommy tell you
not to play in the kitchen?
There's so many things
that can hurt you in here.
Jessie?
You ok?
Yeah
Where is she?
I don't know.
I'll check it out.
Randy?
Did you look yet?
I'm working on it.
Ok, ok.
I think she went upstairs.
I know.
Oh, shit.
Oh, baby.
Oh.
You know what?
I'm not gonna shoot you.
I am not gonna shoot you, baby.
Because you don't deserve
to die like that.
You don't deserve
to die like that.
And I don't wanna run
out of my bullets.
How is it?
I don't know.
It's not bleeding a lot.
Here. Keep pressure on it.
Ok.
Do I need to- Shh!
Sky.
What you see?
Nothing yet.
Do you see her?
No.
Shit.
That shot we heard.
Sky, come on.
That shot...
Do you think it was Jess?
- Or Randy?
- Sky.
What if they're dead
or hurt somewhere?
- What if they're dead?
- Listen.
Listen.
They're okay.
They're probably just...
trying to figure a way out,
just like we are.
This is my fault.
Okay?
I'm going to get us out of here.
I promise.
Okay?
Okay.
Shit!
Sky.
Sky, come on!
Sky.
Sky, come on. Let's go!
Sky. Sky, come on.
Let's go!
Please, please. Please, please.
Come on, come on.
Fuck!
Fuck!
This is, like, the only
place that I get any service?
If I move even a little bit.
I get nothing.
Shit!
Ok.
Alright.
Okay.
I swear, it's like this
bitch is everywhere.
Why would she kill her children?
Look, Sky.
Sky.
This bitch is crazy. Okay?
She been limping
since we got here.
Did you see her bolt
up on them stairs?
Her speech
changed.
Okay?
So what we need to do is
put all of our energy...
into getting the
fuck out of here.
- Ok?
- Ok.
Ok. You're right. Um...
Maybe we can get a signal
closer to the front door.
Or somewhere else in this house.
I mean, she has to get calls
at some point, right?
The only problem is...
is finding it.
And before she finds us.
One, two
Emma's coming
for you.
Three
four
Emma locked all
the doors.
Five,
six,
Emma's gonna stay rich.
Seven,
eight,
Emma sealed your fate.
Nine,
ten,
Emma's gonna kill you
and your...
friends.
Yes! Yes.
Sky, come here.
Come here.
What is it?
That?
You see?
Yeah.
Okay.
Ok, look. This the plan.
I'm gonna distract her, okay?
And I want you to run
as cranked as you can,
and get his attention, okay?
Just come with me.
That's not going to work. Okay?
Okay.
It's the only thing
that I can think of.
But we have to do it now.
Okay?
Okay.
Hey.
It's gonna work.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
And when I run out that door,
wait 5 seconds.
When you see an opening,
go.
Okay.
- Okay?
- Mmhmm.
Ready?
Yes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Aah! Bitch,
I'm here! What's up?
I'm here!
Sky!
Sky.
Oh, I thought you were- I know.
I know. I thought I was too.
I'm okay.
And you're okay. Okay?
Okay.
Where's Randy?
- She killed him?
- Nooo.
- Nooo.
- I know. Hey.
Hey now, listen to me.
Don't worry about
that right now. Okay?
Okay.
We have to go.
- Okay.
- Ok, Sky, let's go.
We have to go.
What are we waiting for?
That.
Come on.
Heeeelp!
Help us out!
Help us!
The hell!
Kids damn near gave
me a heart attack.
Shit!
He's leaving.
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Heeelp!
Jessie!
Run!
Sky, come on. Come on.
Shit!
Greg, run!
Come on, please. Come on!
Go!
I got to give it
to you God damn kids.
Cause y'all gon make old
Emma work for the kill.
And I don't mind a
fucking challenge.
I can't stand you
young bitches now,
always crying over some shit.
It's too hard!
I don't know. Oh bitch!
Stop complaining all the
motherfucking time!
And you know what?
Let me be honest.
Let me
be fucking honest.
I would've probably let you go,
and just paid you off
had one of you came.
Cause it would've been your
word against old Emma.
Against old E-E-E-E-Emma.
Who do you think
they gonna believe?
Who do you think they
gonna understand more?
You little young motherfuckers gon
come up, trying to run up on Emma.
And made me get shit all
over my God damn dress!
This one of my favorite
motherfucking dresses!
Then y'all gon come up in
here talking about we a team.
We a team!
Fuck some team, because
team means loyalty.
And when the team come together,
the team got to die together!
I know...
y'all got questions.
Because I would too.
If I came with five
motherfuckers...
and two is no longer with us,
I would want to know
some things, too.
And I want you to ask...
your questions.
When, where, why, what?
Ain't that the shit
they taught us?
When, where, why, what?
And I know y'all saying...
how?
That's where you
fucked up, right now.
You're not in the W's.
Y'all want to know how...
can we...
break out this house?
Answer.
You can not...
break out the house.
You can't...
get out of here.
Bitch, you fucking crazy!
No, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no!
Not at all.
I am very sane
and calculated.
How else
would I have been able to plan
my husband's death so well?
You think I'd be able
to keep up this facade
for so long?
Yes! Yes, bitch, that's awful.
You know what?
I feel sorry for you.
Huh?
Because you've been hurt
and it broke you.
Whatever happened to you?
I'm sorry,
but you've done a
horrible thing.
Yeah.
I don't know who hurt you.
Maybe it was your mother.
Your father?
Maybe it was even your husband.
But I know...
I know it wasn't your children!
Do you know how
scared they were?
How confused they were?
As you looked them in the eyes
and you let them see
the one person they loved the
most suck the life out of them.
Kendall was so hurt.
So confused.
Kyren actually accepted it.
He thought he got in trouble...
for cursing.
He died loving you!
It wasn't his fault, Emma.
It wasn't their pain to bare!
Oh, my Kendall.
Oh my beautiful Kendall.
Shit.
Kyren.
My little man.
What did I do?
It wasn't my baby's
price to pay.
Girl, fuck them kids
and fuck you too.
Cause I didn't want the kids
in the first fucking place.
He wanted them God damn kids.
I gave his ass
my life,
my dreams,
my youth.
I gave that motherfucker
everything!
For the promise
of this
luxurious
lifestyle.
And aren't you supposed to
keep a fucking promise!
You keep your word!
You know?
He didn't keep his promise.
And we were going broke!
And I'm not talking
about the kind of broke
when you can't go to the Bahamas
for the summertime vacation.
I'm talking about the
fucking kind of broke
where my goddamn
address gotta change.
I go from living in
the neighborhood...
back to the fucking hood!
Emma was not going back
to the fucking hood!
All this
for money?
Well when you
say it like that...
you make it sound like I'm
a monster, like it's
so horrible.
Plus, the kids was
not in the plan.
Shit!
But who?
Who, I ask you?
Who wants to be a single mother?
I know I damn sure don't.
Money isn't everything.
I'd rather be poor
with the ones I
love, than rich...
and alone!
That's some silly
shit I knew you would say.
Young and dumb.
Love and loyalty.
But one day you will realize...
One day your young
ass gonna realize...
Wait.
I never leave that
door open like that.
Get off my dress.
You ain't so tough now, are you?
Smart ass.
Shit!
Shit!
I know. Hey.
It's okay. It's okay.
Hey okay.
Hey. Hey.
Okay.
We go to move, Sky. Okay?
You okay? Alright.
Let's go. Okay? Shh.
Come on now.
Come on. Okay?
We gonna get out of here.
It's okay. I know, I know.
Hey hey!
Hey.
What are you doing?
She's going to kill us.
She's really going to kill us.
No no no.
We got too much to do.
We are not dying
here. You hear me?
We are not dying here.
Okay?
Know what, Sky?
Fuck that!
There's two of us
and one of her.
And all she got is a knife now.
A fucking knife!
We done fought bitches in the
hood with razor blades and shit.
We may get cut a
little bit but...
it's cool.
No.
This is her territory.
She know this house too well.
Exactly.
And if we don't do this,
she is going to bump
us off one by one.
She's been doing-Hey hey.
So let's go out there and
break it to this bitch.
What about the code?
Then we beat the
code out her ass.
Or the mail gotta come around
again, or whatever.
Okay.
Okay?
Yeah.
Hey.
Let's go beat this bitch ass.
Find some long sleave stuff.
So we can take some cuts.
Yeah, this'll work.
Ok. Alright.
Okay.
Ready?
What?
What!?
I love you, girl.
Sky-ry, come here.
Hey.
Hey.
If I die, bitch, you
better come visit me.
No.
We are not dying.
Like you said,
we gonna beat this
bitch ass, right?
Right.
So let's go beat this
bitch ass, okay?
Okay.
- Okay.
- Alright.
I love you.
Are you waiting on something?
Yeah.
Well,
actually,
no.
Because this
is the only place
in the house...
that gets service.
So I decided
that instead of playing...
this whole cat and mouse game,
with you two cent half hoes...
I was just gona wait...
for y'all to come
to me.
You think this is a game?
You think killing my friends
is playful?
Bitch, is that my sweater?
You really think you have this
all figured out, don't you?
See, even if you kill us
and get away with it,
you'll still have to pay
for what you've done...
in this life or the next.
That is good, bitch.
That is good.
That is good!
And if Emma believed in
that Christian shit,
I'd be sca-ooo-oo-hoo.
The next life.
But we fucking with this life.
Mm-hmm.
And see, you talking about
am I playing a game.
Yes!
I like it.
This fucking game
is so fucking fun.
You're not having fun?
I can't stand a bitch who come
over my house and don't have fun.
See that's why I'm
fucking irritated,
cause the game is weak.
See I know the tricks you and
this little bitch trying to pull.
You get her attention on
you, bitch, and then...
I can try to get away.
Not quite.
You smart bitch.
Let go and let God.
Let go...
Let go...
and let God.
Let go!
And let God!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Let Go!
Let God! Let God! Let God!
Now...
it's just me and you.
Shit!
Bitch go?
The fuck is wrong with you?
You want to know
something funny?
You'll probably get
away with this.
You think?
Yeah.
You'll probably go on
and live a very very
lonely life.
Take great vacations.
See some wonderful places.
And you'll have nobody
to share it with.
Aw.
You'll be so alone.
I'm good...
with a rich...
and lonely life.
Oh!
It's empty bitch.
Boom!
I told you.
But...
how did you get out?
It took a while,
but um...
I was finally able to figure
out the security codes
to...
unlock the door and get help.
Wow.
Wow, that's crazy.
Just two years ago, Emma
Leeden was sitting right there
lying to all of our faces
about what happened
in that house.
It is crazy.
Ain't it?
Start from the beginning for us.
Okay.
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
Hey, my baby!
Hi, my sweet sugar.
I'm gonna get you.
Oh, them kisses so good.
Them kisses!
What you gonna do about it?
Who's Mommy's favorite
Kyren in the world?
Me!
Who's my favorite Kyren?
Okay, go back upstairs and Mommy's gonna
come up and run your bath water, okay?
Okay.
Go ahead.
Well listen, now.
What am I supposed to do
with all this love? Huh?
All this love. Oh!
How my baby doing?
Which one of us do
you love the most?
Oh, now Kendall.
You know which one
I love the most?
Come close, cause
I gotta tell you.
I love the one the most...
who's room is clean right now.
Mom!
Yes. Yes!
Pinky bear swear.
You ready for dinner?
Yeah.
Okay. Where's Daddy?
Hers or yours?
Ew! Gross!
Well, hello there.
Hers now. Mine later.
How you doing?
Never better than
getting home to you.
Okay, sweet talker. Okay.
You have a lot more work to do.
Well, I have a few things I
need to finish up, but...
I shouldn't be long.
Well get finished...
So you'll be there and
ready for dinner.
I got a little something
for you later.
Go get it done.
Uh huh.
I see you've been working out.
I like it!
Yeah.
Dunk! Dunk dunk.
Alexa,
turn down.
Alexa,
turn up.
Aaaah!
I woke up some
time later...
to nothing.
And I think about that moment
almost every day.
Emma, what you've been through
is unimaginable.
You being able to speak
and to write about it...
is incredible.
I don't want people...
to see me as a victim.
I just don't want the
death of my family...
to fade away.
Emma, thank you so
much for coming today.
I wish I had more time to
dive in deep with you.
We'll have you back soon.
The brave Emma Leeden,
ladies and gentlemen.
And get her book, The Invasion.
She feels peaceful.
She used to worry about
you a lot, didn't she?
Yeah.
She always wanted me to do
more in college than just,
you know, party.
Actually get an education.
She's very proud of you.
She is?
Yes.
I have to close the door now.
Bye, mom.
Johnny.
Yeah?
Your mom has a question
and a request, but...
I think the door is closing.
Wait, please find
out what it is.
I'm trying.
She asked if you can wire money out of your
trust fund to the Kids for Kids Organization.
I mean, yeah,
I thought she didn't want me to
touch it until after college.
She says, Don't ask any-
She says, Don't ask any-
Mom?
Mom, you there?
She is.
She says, Don't question her.
Yeah, of course.
Anything you want.
Anything else?
Oh no. Thank
you. We're good.
You want something?
No.
What are you thinking?
You know what I'm thinking.
I told you.
I don't want to do this anymore.
So what are you
going to do, quit?
Okay.
Think about it.
How you gonna pay for school
next year, if we stop now?
You gonna get a job?
You know your school
schedule wouldn't allow it.
And what about Randy and Jess?
What about your mom?
Don't bring my mother into this.
How can I not, Sky?
Y'all are literally waiting for the landlord to
come down when they feel like it to put you out.
Look. I get it.
Fuck us. Okay?
But what about her?
It's not fuck y'all?
It's just...
Nothing.
What is it you're
not telling me?
Hm?
You can just say it.
I don't read minds.
What's really up?
You remember that guy, Johnny?
Yeah, the white boy
from the last reading.
What about him?
His mom came so close
to touching me.
And I tried
my hardest to push her back.
And I tried my hardest
to push her back.
But she was so angry.
And so strong.
I'm sorry.
I mean, everything was
just flowing so smoothly I...
I mean you didn't say
anything, so I...
But what were you scared for?
I mean, you don't even know what
happens when they touch you.
They never touched you,
right?
Fuck... Sky!
When I was a kid.
What happens when
they touch you?
They possess you.
Mama!
I'm in my room.
Ah! Martha's Vineyards!
Dumb asses.
Hey, Mama.
Hey, baby.
How was class?
You know. Same old.
Still teaching you
shit you already know.
Pretty much.
You just a head smarter
than the bunch.
That's all.
I was like that.
You know you got that brain
of yours from me, right?
Yeah, I know.
Kazakhstan!
Untapped jewel.
18 million population.
Hey, did you get that
money I left you?
Yeah.
Speaking of that, where'd
you get that money from?
Now I don't want you doing nothing you don't
need to be doing to get in trouble now, Skeeter.
No, ma'am.
I got these bills.
They're not yours, you hear me?
Now, I need you to concentrate
on your schooling.
Mama, no. It's just a little
part time work I'm doing.
Well, keep your money!
I got these bills.
Now. I need you to
just finish school.
Become that doctor,
and come back and
get your old mama.
Until then, don't worry about
these bills. I got them.
I got a friend
come over tonight.
Bring me some money.
A friend?
Are they um...
coming over to just drop
off money and leave?
What you just say?
Now I need you to
finish your schooling.
And I will take care
of these bills.
You hear me?
Cats!
Knew that shit.
Sky-Ry! Hey.
Hey, Jessie.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Randy's not with you?
Oh, yeah. He's outside parking.
I saw Greg parking too.
You and Greg didn't
ride together?
No. I took the Zip.
The Zip?
You and Greg okay?
Yeah, we're fine.
Okay.
So what's up?
Well,
I wanted to talk to you first before
we all came together as a group.
Okay?
What's up?
Something wrong?
No.
Nothing's wrong.
I feel like I owe
you a heads up.
Oh, well.
You're a little too
late for that.
Greg already spilled it.
He did?
Yeah.
Why you acting like
it's a bad thing?
I just didn't know
how you react.
What do you mean, how I'd react?
How do I always
react to new marks?
What did you just say?
Our new mark,
Emma Leeden.
She's an author.
Her sister-in-law, Ashley, is
wanting to do a reading for her.
The great thing is
they think Sky's a fraud, so
they don't really care.
What's the catch?
There isn't one.
See, Ashley is also her PR and they
think that this will help sell her book.
Easy Money.
Now Emma will be wanting
to talk to her family.
Her husband and two children were killed
in a home invasion about two years ago.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
The husband, Matthew, Leeden.
He sells diamonds or some shit.
They came in to get the diamonds
at the house that he lives in.
They killed him
and the kids.
Emma, the wife, barely survived.
Barely? Like, how barely?
I mean, they beat her,
stabbed her,
and cut off one of her
fingers, barely barely.
Holy shit.
Yo!
Now this is a whole new level.
Like, we've dealt with people that have lost loved ones
to, like, diabetes and cancer or old age or some shit.
But this shit?
Murder?
She probably unstable her damn
self, let alone some fucking ghost.
Yeah, I figured that.
They're paying 20 grand.
- 20 what?
- Whoa!
Yeah.
That's five K each.
And if the pay is 20,
we can get a hundred K
if we play it right.
Ooh, hundred K!
Yeah, she's loaded.
Plus, after this,
we can put this online and
everybody would be paying as much.
Well.
I'm in.
Yeah. Hell,
yeah. Me too.
But as y'all know,
it's not on us.
It's on you, Sky.
Sky. Sky!
Sky!
Sky-Ry.
What you do?
Sky, hold up a sec.
Sky, hold up.
Could you just listen
to me for a sec?
Listen to you?
I did.
I just did.
I listened to you set me
up to be the let down.
The bad guy in front
of our friends.
I listened to you talk,
but obviously you didn't hear
shit I had to say this morning.
- Sky, it was not even like that.
- Then how is it?
I told you I was scared, and
you go find another gig?
Hey, listen, it wasn't-
Then you push us going
public after I told you
I didn't want my
mother finding out.
So explain to me how it is then.
If you just listen to me, I'm trying to explain
to you that that's why I called the meeting.
Okay?
So we can talk about
your feelings and...
and figure it out.
But...
I mean, I got this call about
this Emma lady, and they
they started talking
about 20 grand.
That's 20 K, Sky.
And that bought you off?
20 grand is how much my
fear is worth to you?
Cause that's what it is.
Fear.
I'm scared.
Sky...
I know.
But we talking
about a hundred K.
They think it's fake
anyway! But it's not!
It's real.
It...
is real.
That ain't it.
That ain't it. That ain't it.
I know why wolves
don't get caught.
It's cause they
dressed like sheep.
Hey, what's up?
I'll do it.
Okay.
I'll set it up.
Hand me that.
Thank you.
Hey, Sky.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Look, Sky, I...
I know that I didn't set this
up the way that I should've,
but, I mean,
this shit just
seemed so perfect.
I mean, it practically
fell in our laps.
I get it.
And I do understand what
you were trying to do,
but you failed...
terribly.
You forgive me?
Yes.
But look,
everybody got to find
their own way after this.
This is it.
- Okay.
- Okay?
I get it.
I'm serious.
Okay.
Yoo hoo.
Look.
She may forgive you,
but I don't.
So...
you better hope...
this goes as smooth as you
think it's going to go.
Because if it doesn't,
We're...
gonna have a problem.
Okay, buddy?
Yeah.
Good talk.
Hello. Hello.
Welcome. Come in.
How you doing?
Hey.
Uh, Ms. Ashley?
Um, Gregory?
- Yeah.
- Nice to meet you.
This is Randy.
They'll be the ones
assisting today.
And...
this is Sky.
Nice to meet you all.
Ashley Leeden.
Emma! Honey!
Yeah?
Your guests are here, honey.
Okay, I'm coming.
Randy, what's wrong?
This is, like, the only place
that I get any service,
if I move even a little bit,
I get nothing.
I don't think we're going to be
able to upload while we're here.
Yeah, this house is
probably in a dead zone.
What, you mean like a
supernatural dead zone?
No.
I mean, like the Internet
is dead in this house.
Yeah, right.
Emma.
This is Gregory.
This is the young man we
spoke to on the phone.
Hello.
And this is his team.
Hi.
Emma, this is Sky.
Sky's the one doing
your reading today.
Sky.
I've heard some
amazing
yet hard to believe
things about you.
So I'm
I'm pleased to meet you, Sky.
Thank you.
And I hope I can help
you in some way today.
Well, um...
What do you need from me?
Just a room for them
to set up, and...
maybe a little look
around, if that's okay?
Sure, sure.
You guys can use the dining room
and feel free to move things
around if you need to.
And Ash, if you wouldn't mind
if you could
go and finish the
refreshments...
refreshments
for me. Okay?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Jessie, is it?
Yes, ma'am.
Can you assist me, hun?
Sure.
Come on.
Sky, I'm gonna took
you on a tour.
Hey.
Are you good with this?
Yeah.
It'll help.
Whose room was this?
This was Kendall's room.
Kyren's room is down there.
He was five.
May I?
Yeah. Yeah.
Most things
in the house,
I really didn't touch.
And...
I...
try not to come
up here too much.
I know you've
heard this before, but
I'm truly sorry.
I don't know what I would do
if I lost my family like that.
Me either.
My kids.
You know?
I'm so sorry.
My babies.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
You
would think
it would get easier having
these conversations.
Okay.
Okay.
I got cameras
in and out,
all around.
I got hammer glass
for the windows with metal inner
panels and locks.
Steel reenforced oak
front door.
I even got a damn gun
that I don't know how to use.
That sounds silly.
Cause anything can still happen.
But I need as much
fake protection
around me
just so I can function
every day.
Wi-Fi connection
still isn't working.
We're going to have to
record straight to hard drive.
This house kills the Wi-Fi.
I'll get you a copy of the
recording before we go.
Just as long as we
get it recorded.
I want what I paid for.
I want what I paid for.
Ashley!
What?
Don't be rude.
Okay.
You ready?
Yeah.
You sure, Sky?
Because we really
ain't got to do this.
Jesse.
I'm sure.
Okay.
We're all set then.
I need you to just relax.
I need you to clear your mind
of anything not in this moment,
of anything that takes
you away from this room.
I need you to just be here.
Take deep breaths with me.
You ready?
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
Emma.
Say their names and repeat.
Okay.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall
Again.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Kendall.
Wait!
Oh shit.
That's interesting.
I heard footsteps.
How did you do that?
Your favorite color is teal.
Not green.
Not blue, but specifically teal.
You're a Scorpio.
You loved to cook
for your family.
Seafood.
Crawfish.
You would season them so well. That
when you ate them, your fingers burned.
That's every
Black person in America.
Tell us something we don't know.
Hey.
Ok.
Come on now.
I'm sorry. Go on.
This feels different.
What does?
Kyren loved dressing himself.
He had so much energy.
He used to argue with you about
wearing his rain boots on sunny days.
You're right.
How do you
How do you-
Kendall was different.
She was to herself.
She was more like her dad, but
really girly.
She loved her mommy.
She knew mommy gave her and Kyren
anything to make them happy.
She would wear dresses she hated
just for you.
She used to imitate
you perming your hair
because you forbid
her to do hers.
She loved Kyren, but
she hated she had to
babysit him all the time.
You would always reward her
for being a great big sister,
And you would promise her things
if she did what you asked.
And you sealed it with...
a pinky
bear
swear.
Could...
could you excuse
me for a second?
This is...
this is too much.
Em.
You're good.
Really good.
Let me get her back.
How you...
How you feeling?
I'm Okay.
What did you mean by
it feels different?
It just felt weird.
Weird, how?
It felt like something was
suffocating already around the door.
We talk an angry, suffocating?
Yes.
Aye, this shit don't
feel right, yo.
That, I can agree on.
I think we need to wrap this up.
Agreed. Let's
cut this short. Come on.
No.
Sky.
Babe, come on.
No!
We do this for money
all the time.
But
Did you hear what
happened to her?
Did you see her?
If it had happened
to one of y'all?
Wouldn't you want
to hear from them?
To know if they're okay?
I would be the lowest
piece of shit human
to let her keep that last memory when I
know I could bring her some type of peace.
Sky...
You said it yourself.
You felt something.
What was that?
I don't know what that was.
But we will face it,
finish it,
and be done with this shit.
It'll be okay.
Emma, you okay?
What's going on?
Huh?
Okay.
So I may have told them
just a few things
about your family,
just to make it look a
little more real on camera.
Ashley,
are you serious?
How was I supposed to know she
would do the knee jerk, creepy shit?
Well,
you should've let me know.
That dug up a lot for me.
I'm sorry.
What else do I need to be
prepared for?
Honestly, that's it.
I don't even remember
telling her half that shit.
But it was probably obvious
by the tour you gave her.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I'm actually really curious to
see what she comes up with.
She's out of material.
Well,
I'm not.
Are you okay?
I am.
Are you ready to continue?
I'd like to fully connect now.
You didn't
fully connect the last time?
What was that?
Your intro?
May I?
You may.
Repeat their names...
slowly.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Again.
Matthew.
Kyren.
Kendall.
Jessie!
No, it's...
it's hiked.
It's never been this high.
- It's never been this high.
- Sky baby, it's okay.
It's never been this high.
Sky.
She's burning up.
She's burning up! Get
the ice. Come on.
- She's burning up!
- I got it.
Get the ice.
Sky?
Greg?
Look.
What do we do?
The fuck.
Is she gonna...
Is she gonna...
Hey! Shh!
Hey, turn down the monitor.
What is that?
That sounds like typing
coming from Matthew's office.
That's creepy.
How did you do-
Paul!
I need this?
You hear me?
You said it would be six
months before we see a return.
It's been two years.
This is killing me, Paul.
If something doesn't happen soon,
I won't make it out of this quarter.
Else?
What do you mean else?
This is it.
This is everything.
Why would I have anything
else prepared for something
my friend said was
a for sure thing?
I don't need that
unicorn shit, Paul.
I need results.
Yes, I hear you.
But I heard this
from you before.
A shell of a woman
Living but not alive.
A shell of a woman
What is this?
What is this? without
a heart I can't survive.
I never
spoke about this song.
How does she
know this song, Ashley?
I didn't know anything
about this song.
What song is this?
Hey, are you up?
What are you doing? LOL
My mom's making me go to the
fundraiser at school tomorrow.
Let's just stop this, Ashley.
Why would you do this?
How?
How could you do this?
I didn't know anything
about this. Hey!
Can you stop?
Hey! Hey, this is not how
this works. Do not touch her.
Well, then make her stop.
Sad face emoji.
Stop her!
We can't.
This has never happened before.
Ashley, I want you to stop her.
Stop her!
Can you stop, please!?
Thank you!
I done came down.
I done came far.
I'ma be driving in my
candy painted car.
Hey, Mommy.
What you doing?
Kyren?
N... no.
No.
This is too much.
We need to cut this.
- This is too much.
- This is too much.
We need to cut this.
Y'all will get what I
promised I'd pay you.
Let's just wrap it.
Let's just wrap it.
Let's just wrap it.
Sky's still connected.
Sky.
Sky, baby.
What's happening to her?
Sky, baby.
I got it.
- She's so hot.
- 180
I got it.
Temp.
You ok?
Temp.
We gotta snap her out of it.
- No, no, Greg! No.
- Hey! Come out of it.
We gotta snap her out of it.
Don't shake her.
We gotta snap her out of it.
I don't know what I
would do to her.
Okay, so what do we do?
I don't know!
I don't know. It just...
- It can't take this.
- Hey, baby.
Her body can't take this.
You know what?
You know what, Greg?
This is your fault.
My fault?
Yes. Sky had that
meeting to talk about quitting.
But you didn't do that, did you?
Jessie, this isn't the
time or the place.
You're right.
This is a fucked up time and a fucked
up place that we're in because of you!
Me!?
- Guys.
- Yes, you!
Me!?
I didn't even know this
was going to happen!
Well, maybe she did!
Maybe she knew, and that's
why she was scared.
But no!
You wanted to get a hundred
K out of this lady,
And you didn't care
what any of us said
in order to get it. Now did you?
Oh, come on now.
In order to get it. Now did you?
This isn't just on me!
You didn't give us a chance
to say anything, Greg!
You didn't give us a chance!
She told me on the way
here that she was scared.
Exactly!
Okay?
You had a chance to back
out, and you didn't!
Get out of my face!
Hey, it doesn't matter anymore.
What matters is Sky.
Now what the fuck do we do!?
Sky, baby baby, you ok?
- Hey! Hey hey hey-hey.
- W-wait! Hey. Hey, baby.
- Look at me.
- Hey, you ok?
Let me get your pulse. What happened?
Whaty. W-whappened? What's wrong? aby.
- Look at me.
- Hey, you ok?
What does she see?
She locked us in.
No, that's not what she's doing.
Aye, lady!
You need to open the doors.
Calm down.
That is not what she's doing.
You calm down.
Don't raise your voice at me little girl!
You need to calm down!
You're making the
situation worse.
I'm making the situation worse?
You need to address the lady that
just locked the fucking door!
- Jesse.
- What!?
Be cool.
Miss Leeden.
Look, we apologize.
You need to unlock these doors
so we can be on our way.
Now, we haven't taken any money,
so there's no harm done here.
Look, lady, I said as
nicely as I possibly can.
Emma!
They're just kids!
The money isn't worth it.
Okay.
Miss Leeden...
We didn't take any money.
And we're not going
to say anything.
Can you just please
open the doors...
so we can get him some help.
Miss Leeden.
Open the doors, please.
Boogieman!
That's funny as shit to me.
Huh?
Okay.
Go on tell your friends
why they can't leave.
Because...
she killed...
her family.
You did it?
Ah!
Aah. Shit!
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
Come on, stay strong.
Stay strong.
I did.
They're bulletproof, y'all.
They're what?
I need you to do me a favor.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
shh, shh, shh.
I need you to tell the family
that I said hello.
Everybody hide.
Now.
God damn it.
Any luck?
No, they're locked.
Shit. I
think we're trapped in here.
Wait.
- What?
- Hide. Hide.
Where?
Here. In here.
Come here, come here.
Squeeze in here.
Come on. Come on.
Just stay right there.
Randy, what are you gonna do?
Just stay in here.
Come on, get in there. Come on.
Randy, just get in here.
You know, I can't fit in there!
Randy!
Just stay here!
I'll be right back, okay?
Just stay there.
Children...
Didn't your mommy tell you
not to play in the kitchen?
There's so many things
that can hurt you in here.
Jessie?
You ok?
Yeah
Where is she?
I don't know.
I'll check it out.
Randy?
Did you look yet?
I'm working on it.
Ok, ok.
I think she went upstairs.
I know.
Oh, shit.
Oh, baby.
Oh.
You know what?
I'm not gonna shoot you.
I am not gonna shoot you, baby.
Because you don't deserve
to die like that.
You don't deserve
to die like that.
And I don't wanna run
out of my bullets.
How is it?
I don't know.
It's not bleeding a lot.
Here. Keep pressure on it.
Ok.
Do I need to- Shh!
Sky.
What you see?
Nothing yet.
Do you see her?
No.
Shit.
That shot we heard.
Sky, come on.
That shot...
Do you think it was Jess?
- Or Randy?
- Sky.
What if they're dead
or hurt somewhere?
- What if they're dead?
- Listen.
Listen.
They're okay.
They're probably just...
trying to figure a way out,
just like we are.
This is my fault.
Okay?
I'm going to get us out of here.
I promise.
Okay?
Okay.
Shit!
Sky.
Sky, come on!
Sky.
Sky, come on. Let's go!
Sky. Sky, come on.
Let's go!
Please, please. Please, please.
Come on, come on.
Fuck!
Fuck!
This is, like, the only
place that I get any service?
If I move even a little bit.
I get nothing.
Shit!
Ok.
Alright.
Okay.
I swear, it's like this
bitch is everywhere.
Why would she kill her children?
Look, Sky.
Sky.
This bitch is crazy. Okay?
She been limping
since we got here.
Did you see her bolt
up on them stairs?
Her speech
changed.
Okay?
So what we need to do is
put all of our energy...
into getting the
fuck out of here.
- Ok?
- Ok.
Ok. You're right. Um...
Maybe we can get a signal
closer to the front door.
Or somewhere else in this house.
I mean, she has to get calls
at some point, right?
The only problem is...
is finding it.
And before she finds us.
One, two
Emma's coming
for you.
Three
four
Emma locked all
the doors.
Five,
six,
Emma's gonna stay rich.
Seven,
eight,
Emma sealed your fate.
Nine,
ten,
Emma's gonna kill you
and your...
friends.
Yes! Yes.
Sky, come here.
Come here.
What is it?
That?
You see?
Yeah.
Okay.
Ok, look. This the plan.
I'm gonna distract her, okay?
And I want you to run
as cranked as you can,
and get his attention, okay?
Just come with me.
That's not going to work. Okay?
Okay.
It's the only thing
that I can think of.
But we have to do it now.
Okay?
Okay.
Hey.
It's gonna work.
Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
And when I run out that door,
wait 5 seconds.
When you see an opening,
go.
Okay.
- Okay?
- Mmhmm.
Ready?
Yes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Aah! Bitch,
I'm here! What's up?
I'm here!
Sky!
Sky.
Oh, I thought you were- I know.
I know. I thought I was too.
I'm okay.
And you're okay. Okay?
Okay.
Where's Randy?
- She killed him?
- Nooo.
- Nooo.
- I know. Hey.
Hey now, listen to me.
Don't worry about
that right now. Okay?
Okay.
We have to go.
- Okay.
- Ok, Sky, let's go.
We have to go.
What are we waiting for?
That.
Come on.
Heeeelp!
Help us out!
Help us!
The hell!
Kids damn near gave
me a heart attack.
Shit!
He's leaving.
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Sky, he's leaving. Help!
Heeelp!
Jessie!
Run!
Sky, come on. Come on.
Shit!
Greg, run!
Come on, please. Come on!
Go!
I got to give it
to you God damn kids.
Cause y'all gon make old
Emma work for the kill.
And I don't mind a
fucking challenge.
I can't stand you
young bitches now,
always crying over some shit.
It's too hard!
I don't know. Oh bitch!
Stop complaining all the
motherfucking time!
And you know what?
Let me be honest.
Let me
be fucking honest.
I would've probably let you go,
and just paid you off
had one of you came.
Cause it would've been your
word against old Emma.
Against old E-E-E-E-Emma.
Who do you think
they gonna believe?
Who do you think they
gonna understand more?
You little young motherfuckers gon
come up, trying to run up on Emma.
And made me get shit all
over my God damn dress!
This one of my favorite
motherfucking dresses!
Then y'all gon come up in
here talking about we a team.
We a team!
Fuck some team, because
team means loyalty.
And when the team come together,
the team got to die together!
I know...
y'all got questions.
Because I would too.
If I came with five
motherfuckers...
and two is no longer with us,
I would want to know
some things, too.
And I want you to ask...
your questions.
When, where, why, what?
Ain't that the shit
they taught us?
When, where, why, what?
And I know y'all saying...
how?
That's where you
fucked up, right now.
You're not in the W's.
Y'all want to know how...
can we...
break out this house?
Answer.
You can not...
break out the house.
You can't...
get out of here.
Bitch, you fucking crazy!
No, no, no, no, no...
no, no, no!
Not at all.
I am very sane
and calculated.
How else
would I have been able to plan
my husband's death so well?
You think I'd be able
to keep up this facade
for so long?
Yes! Yes, bitch, that's awful.
You know what?
I feel sorry for you.
Huh?
Because you've been hurt
and it broke you.
Whatever happened to you?
I'm sorry,
but you've done a
horrible thing.
Yeah.
I don't know who hurt you.
Maybe it was your mother.
Your father?
Maybe it was even your husband.
But I know...
I know it wasn't your children!
Do you know how
scared they were?
How confused they were?
As you looked them in the eyes
and you let them see
the one person they loved the
most suck the life out of them.
Kendall was so hurt.
So confused.
Kyren actually accepted it.
He thought he got in trouble...
for cursing.
He died loving you!
It wasn't his fault, Emma.
It wasn't their pain to bare!
Oh, my Kendall.
Oh my beautiful Kendall.
Shit.
Kyren.
My little man.
What did I do?
It wasn't my baby's
price to pay.
Girl, fuck them kids
and fuck you too.
Cause I didn't want the kids
in the first fucking place.
He wanted them God damn kids.
I gave his ass
my life,
my dreams,
my youth.
I gave that motherfucker
everything!
For the promise
of this
luxurious
lifestyle.
And aren't you supposed to
keep a fucking promise!
You keep your word!
You know?
He didn't keep his promise.
And we were going broke!
And I'm not talking
about the kind of broke
when you can't go to the Bahamas
for the summertime vacation.
I'm talking about the
fucking kind of broke
where my goddamn
address gotta change.
I go from living in
the neighborhood...
back to the fucking hood!
Emma was not going back
to the fucking hood!
All this
for money?
Well when you
say it like that...
you make it sound like I'm
a monster, like it's
so horrible.
Plus, the kids was
not in the plan.
Shit!
But who?
Who, I ask you?
Who wants to be a single mother?
I know I damn sure don't.
Money isn't everything.
I'd rather be poor
with the ones I
love, than rich...
and alone!
That's some silly
shit I knew you would say.
Young and dumb.
Love and loyalty.
But one day you will realize...
One day your young
ass gonna realize...
Wait.
I never leave that
door open like that.
Get off my dress.
You ain't so tough now, are you?
Smart ass.
Shit!
Shit!
I know. Hey.
It's okay. It's okay.
Hey okay.
Hey. Hey.
Okay.
We go to move, Sky. Okay?
You okay? Alright.
Let's go. Okay? Shh.
Come on now.
Come on. Okay?
We gonna get out of here.
It's okay. I know, I know.
Hey hey!
Hey.
What are you doing?
She's going to kill us.
She's really going to kill us.
No no no.
We got too much to do.
We are not dying
here. You hear me?
We are not dying here.
Okay?
Know what, Sky?
Fuck that!
There's two of us
and one of her.
And all she got is a knife now.
A fucking knife!
We done fought bitches in the
hood with razor blades and shit.
We may get cut a
little bit but...
it's cool.
No.
This is her territory.
She know this house too well.
Exactly.
And if we don't do this,
she is going to bump
us off one by one.
She's been doing-Hey hey.
So let's go out there and
break it to this bitch.
What about the code?
Then we beat the
code out her ass.
Or the mail gotta come around
again, or whatever.
Okay.
Okay?
Yeah.
Hey.
Let's go beat this bitch ass.
Find some long sleave stuff.
So we can take some cuts.
Yeah, this'll work.
Ok. Alright.
Okay.
Ready?
What?
What!?
I love you, girl.
Sky-ry, come here.
Hey.
Hey.
If I die, bitch, you
better come visit me.
No.
We are not dying.
Like you said,
we gonna beat this
bitch ass, right?
Right.
So let's go beat this
bitch ass, okay?
Okay.
- Okay.
- Alright.
I love you.
Are you waiting on something?
Yeah.
Well,
actually,
no.
Because this
is the only place
in the house...
that gets service.
So I decided
that instead of playing...
this whole cat and mouse game,
with you two cent half hoes...
I was just gona wait...
for y'all to come
to me.
You think this is a game?
You think killing my friends
is playful?
Bitch, is that my sweater?
You really think you have this
all figured out, don't you?
See, even if you kill us
and get away with it,
you'll still have to pay
for what you've done...
in this life or the next.
That is good, bitch.
That is good.
That is good!
And if Emma believed in
that Christian shit,
I'd be sca-ooo-oo-hoo.
The next life.
But we fucking with this life.
Mm-hmm.
And see, you talking about
am I playing a game.
Yes!
I like it.
This fucking game
is so fucking fun.
You're not having fun?
I can't stand a bitch who come
over my house and don't have fun.
See that's why I'm
fucking irritated,
cause the game is weak.
See I know the tricks you and
this little bitch trying to pull.
You get her attention on
you, bitch, and then...
I can try to get away.
Not quite.
You smart bitch.
Let go and let God.
Let go...
Let go...
and let God.
Let go!
And let God!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mmm.
Let Go!
Let God! Let God! Let God!
Now...
it's just me and you.
Shit!
Bitch go?
The fuck is wrong with you?
You want to know
something funny?
You'll probably get
away with this.
You think?
Yeah.
You'll probably go on
and live a very very
lonely life.
Take great vacations.
See some wonderful places.
And you'll have nobody
to share it with.
Aw.
You'll be so alone.
I'm good...
with a rich...
and lonely life.
Oh!
It's empty bitch.
Boom!
I told you.
But...
how did you get out?
It took a while,
but um...
I was finally able to figure
out the security codes
to...
unlock the door and get help.
Wow.
Wow, that's crazy.
Just two years ago, Emma
Leeden was sitting right there
lying to all of our faces
about what happened
in that house.
It is crazy.
Ain't it?
