Light as a Feather (2018) s02e12 Episode Script
...Hungry Like a Wolf
Previously on "Light as a Feather" Peri is taking me to her family's cabin.
It's near where April is, so she's gonna cover for me with our parents.
That sounds nice.
They got it after her brother Justin was going through some mental health stuff.
- Wait, Justin? - Sylvia must have a helper, and if they're that close, that they can switch my pills.
It could be anyone.
You're not coming with me, Emory.
There will always be a part of you here with McKenna.
I'm sorry.
When I was at Daybridge, there was this guy.
His name was Justin Peri's brother.
I played the game with him.
He's the body in the trunk.
There was someone helping Sylvia.
Peri.
Oh, my God, Alex.
Hey, stop it.
I couldn't help it.
You just looked so peaceful.
What is that yummy smell? Mm, I made you an espresso.
Two shots, extra foam, just how you like it, and breakfast is served.
You're the best.
Come here.
- Is that my phone? - Oh, yeah.
You left it in the car.
Well, hand it over.
Seriously, right now? I thought you were kind of busy.
Mm, good point.
Wow, you're getting really good at that.
Yeah.
I do have a certain skill set.
Guys, we need to focus.
We didn't stay up all night looking for Alex to miss something now.
Yeah, there's got to be something in here that can help us.
Anything that can lead us to Alex and Peri a utility bill, an address, whatever we can find.
Guys, remember, Peri's dangerous.
Who knows what she's capable of? What, you seriously think this place is booby trapped? I mean considering how we just rescued you and McKenna from a shallow grave, I wouldn't put it past her.
You have a point.
Just focus, guys.
Come on.
Alex's life depends on it.
Let's just get this done.
What is this? Wait.
That's Justin's pendant.
He was holding it when we opened the box.
Wait.
So that means Yeah, Peri's the one who took the body.
We need to find Alex, now.
God knows what Peri could do to her.
Come on.
A romantic getaway, a cabin in the woods, and you make a mean blueberry pancake.
What did I do to deserve you? I don't know.
Maybe just lucky.
Stick with me.
I'm your buddy, remember? Hey, that reminds me, I should probably check in on my friends.
Can you please give it a rest? I mean, this trip's supposed to be about us, and plus I have a couple things I want to talk to you about.
Sorry.
I just want to make sure everyone's okay.
Everybody's fine, okay? So no more phones.
- Mmm - No more phones.
Come on.
It'll be our digital detox.
Okay.
Okay.
- All right.
- I give in.
Wow, you're right.
This place is amazing.
Yeah.
Being here always reminds me of my brother.
Right.
You said you guys used to come here together.
It must have been therapeutic for him.
My parents first got this place when he was diagnosed with clinical depression.
Doctor said it'd be nice for him to get out of the city, clear his head before he went back to school.
Come on, we can do whatever you want to today.
We could go on a hike or I don't know, kayaking, fishing.
Fishing's fun.
I'm here, Justin, because you know I'd do anything for you.
So just tell me.
Tell me what I can do to help you.
Nothing.
- Find anything? - Oh, shit, yeah.
Look at this.
Check this out.
Oh, my God.
She's been watching us For a while now.
How creepy is that? Yeah.
Now you know what it feels like.
Hey.
Come on.
What? That's, like, the fourth time you've checked your phone.
Let me guess.
Sammi? Yeah.
I guess I'm just a little worried.
She's driving cross-country alone.
I just wish she'd check in.
Yeah.
Trey, you know I'm glad you stayed, right? Yeah.
I am too.
But I also get that you care about her.
I just want to make sure she's okay, you know? I do.
That's what makes you such a great person.
I get it if you want to check on her.
She's probably really hurt that you decided to stay.
Yeah.
About that.
- Listen - Anything? On where Peri and Alex are? No.
But it's worse than we thought.
Peri's been stalking us this whole time.
She's clearly unstable, and she knows everything about us.
- Well, we have to do something.
- Wait.
Alex said that April was covering with her parents while she was away.
Maybe she knows where she went.
Okay, great, I'll call her.
She's got to have the address.
Okay, but April can't know what's going on.
Come on.
She has to know.
No, come on.
Think it through.
If April knows that Alex is in trouble, then she'll call their parents, and then the cops, and everyone else.
The police can't even do anything till someone's missing for 48 hours, and then they'll hold us and question us.
Meanwhile, no one will be looking for Alex.
Do you really want that to happen? Okay, fine.
I get it.
We tried so hard on Justin.
It devastated my parents.
My mom, she couldn't cope So it was all on me.
And he was getting worse.
I was failing him.
I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
So he just never got any better.
Well, actually he did for a while.
There was this place we found Hey! Hey! And over time, he took to it.
Good to see you.
And he kept up with all of his water therapy, - which was weird, but - So, how are you? It was working.
I know that it's only been a week here, but I'm finally starting to feel good about things, you know? I'm so proud of you.
Look at you.
Look at how far you've come.
Wait.
Water therapy? Was Justin by chance at a place called Daybridge? Yeah.
My friend Candace was there.
So what happened? Well, he was doing better, and then he met someone.
Mmm.
Someone who made me wish I had never brought him there.
Someone who changed everything.
Violet Simmons.
Wait, you and Violet knew each other before all this? Why are you just telling me this? No, I didn't know Violet.
Justin knew Violet.
She was the one who made him play that game.
And as the hunger tore at his body like an animal trying to claw its way out, Justin's body, now racked by dehydration, had finally succumbed.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board.
Justin went into a tailspin after that.
It was depression, delusion.
Everything got really dark.
And he tried to tell me about what happened you know, about the game, and that other people were dying, and he was next, but You didn't believe him.
No.
I'm sor No, yeah, I didn't.
I thought It was his condition.
I thought he was delusional, but he wasn't.
He wasn't.
He was crying out for help.
And then one day, Justin escaped from the Daybridge center, and I didn't see him after that, until you guys found him.
How much longer until we get to this address April gave us? Hey, listen.
I need to tell you something.
What? When you asked about Sammi earlier you know, about her being bummed and everything I didn't exactly tell you the whole story.
What do you mean? Well, I I really was gonna go with Sammi.
I think a part of me maybe didn't want to, but I also don't want to stay here feeling left behind when you take off for college.
You see, it was really Sammi that made the decision.
She told me not to go to New York.
But why? She told me she thinks I'm I'm still in love with you.
Wait.
You mean the boy in the trunk was Was my brother.
But how did you know? Oh, God, because I was there, Alex.
I was the one who recorded Violet and sent it to Isaac.
But why? Why didn't you tell me any of this earlier? If you knew all this about Violet, why did you keep it a secret from me all this time? Because of what I did.
I d I didn't know how, but I knew that Violet was the one responsible for what happened to Justin, and I swore I swore that day that I was gonna make her pay.
What? Peri, what did you do? This is this is why I brought you here so that you could know and you could understand.
Understand what? I was the one who sabotaged the furnace in Violet's house.
But you have to understand that I was in a full-fledged blackout rage, and I didn't know I didn't even stop to think or consider what I was doing, you know? I didn't know how the game worked.
Wait, li Listen.
You have to believe me.
Look, I had no idea that what I was doing would have no effect on Violet.
All I knew was that I wanted her dead.
Are you kidding me? All the cabins have the same address.
We're gonna have to check all of them then.
Okay, you guys take "A" through "E".
Trey and I will take the rest.
Let's go.
It was an accident, Alex.
- You tried to kill her.
- Yeah, so did you.
When you told me about putting that wire in that bathtub, that's when I knew.
That's when I knew you felt the same way about Violet as I did.
We made the same mistake.
Alex I love you, and I feel like you feel the same way about me? So we didn't meet at Isaac's party by accident, then? No silly.
I had my eye on you for much longer than that.
Remember the night at the cemetery? I was there.
That's how I found out about the death predictions, which explains why Violet didn't die that night.
But I still had to get her prediction.
So you moved to Willow Falls, got a place, and enrolled in school? Yeah.
I knew that I just had to wait, and I would get another chance.
I just had to be patient.
And then that day at the Regan House came, and we all know what happened then.
That was you? Wait.
How do you know Sylvia? Sylvia Gallagher's my nanny.
She practically raised Justin and me.
I mean, she's the only person I could trust, the only person who understood.
Until you.
But Sylvia tricked us into playing the game again.
You knew I was going to die that night, - and you still - I didn't have a choice, Alex.
When I told Sylvia to talk your friends into playing the game again, I had no idea that you would be a player.
I never thought you would be.
I need you to understand, okay? Violet and that game ruined my family.
Okay? I have to finish this.
For Justin, for you, for us.
And that's why I need you to accept what has to happen next, okay? - What are you talking about? - They're too close, Alex.
They know too much.
Peri, what do you mean? What has to happen? Let's just say I just really need you to trust me on this, okay? - Anything? - No, nothing.
- This isn't good.
- Like you give a shit.
If Alex is dead, it's just another person that you can cross off your list.
You know, I've had it with you.
You think I don't know what this is really about? Oh, yeah? Enlighten me.
Hey, guys, stop.
Yeah, I tricked your sister into playing the game, and I regret it, but you have no idea what I was going through, or what she's going through.
We did what we had to do to survive the curse.
Survival is a fundamental human instinct, asshole.
It's either that or you die, so until you have that thing on your back, screw you.
Guys, we don't have time for this.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir.
Hi, um, my friends and I are a little turned around, and we were just wondering if there was another cabin around here.
There is another cabin.
If you go up this road, take a left at Uxbridge, - it should be on your right.
- Okay.
If you're looking for a rental, I'm afraid it's occupied.
Saw the owner and her pretty friend.
They arrived late last night.
- Okay, thank you.
- Good luck to you.
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
Come on, boy.
I got it.
Let's go.
Come on, Alex.
Answer.
Peri, you're really freaking me out on this.
- Tell me what has to happen.
- Just calm down.
No, don't tell me to calm down! Just say it.
Your friends need to die.
Alex? Alex, are you with Peri? She's a psycho.
Get away from her.
- I can't! - Okay, well, then just hide, okay? We're on our way.
We're almost there.
- Just hide.
- Alex! Look, I know it was a lot to spring on you, baby, but just just come out, okay? We can talk.
I'm doing this all for you.
Don't you get that? You have no idea how much my heart broke watching you play that game.
And then once you were on the clock again, I had no choice.
I had to step things up to save you.
And then I found Violet's death prediction.
And then you found Henry.
It was too late.
He knew too much.
Henry? McKenna! I had to cover my tracks.
Alex.
Alex.
I love you.
And you know I'm not a terrible person, but God, this has gone too far.
There's no other way.
McKenna? Alex! Oh, my God.
No.
No, stop.
Let go of me! My friends are gonna be here any second.
Not if they're going to the address we gave your sister.
No one's coming for you, okay? It's just me and you.
Let me save you, okay? Stop! What? After you kill all my friends? Are you gonna kill me next, Peri? Where does it end? No.
I would never hurt you.
- You're hurting me right now.
- Okay, I can save us both.
You just have to trust me, okay? Look, there's a place we can go a church.
A church? What are you talking about? - You're not making any sense.
- No! I God, I looked into it.
There's a priest, and he can help us, and he can save us, and then we can be together.
I will never be with you.
Alex! Alex! Alex!
It's near where April is, so she's gonna cover for me with our parents.
That sounds nice.
