The Incredible Hulk (1978) s02e15 Episode Script
The Haunted
Now, I don't believe that there's a ghost in this house and neither do you.
Renee! GIRL: My sister can't talk to you now.
(RENEE SCREAMING) What did you see? It was Becky! It was Becky! Renee, it couldn't have been Becky.
She's been dead for 20 years.
She fell by the mill and drowned.
David, please.
You're not allowed.
That's where Becky died.
(ROARS) NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) This is a big move for me.
I have a lot of things, and Well, truthfully, you don't look like the moving-man type.
Oh.
Well, believe me, I'm stronger than I look.
And I really need the ride.
I'm looking for a job up north.
What do you do? Right now? Uh-huh.
Right now I'm a driver-rider-mover.
Okay.
Let's go get the piano.
Just kidding.
(CHUCKLING) Hope he's in.
Mr.
Lewitt? Yes, Fred Lewitt.
What can I do for you folks? I've come about the Stevens house.
I'm sorry, it's no longer for sale.
Well, I hope not.
I'll have no place to sleep.
Well, I'm sure you could find a Mr.
Lewitt, I'm surprised.
Don't you recognize me? Renee Stevens.
Renee! Of course.
Well, why didn't you say you were coming? I wanted to surprise you.
You certainly did.
I mean, look at you.
My, if you haven't changed into a beautiful young lady.
Well, we always knew you would.
You were the apple of your folks' eye.
RENEE: Thank you.
David Barrett.
You don't know me.
Well, won't you come in? Oh, I'm afraid we really need to get to the house.
Do you have the keys, Mr.
Lewitt? Yes, of course.
Well, I'm certainly surprised to see you.
Your lawyer wrote that you'd handle the arrangements for the sale of the house from New York.
Well, I'm afraid I'm not putting the house up for sale.
I've decided to live there.
Now, why would a pretty young girl like you want to live in that drafty old place? Heck, if you wanna move and live here in New Oxford, I've got a dandy condo for you.
Whole new complex, just finished.
You know, Renee, I don't mean to meddle, but, well, after that terrible tragedy, I'd think that house would be the last Mr.
Lewitt, that's very thoughtful, but you don't need to worry.
May I have the keys? Oh, sure.
Of course, of course.
Well, I'm on my way to an appointment.
Can't tell you how tickled I am to see you, Renee.
Goodbye.
RENEE: You haven't said a word since we left the realty office.
I suppose you're wondering what he was talking about, aren't you? The tragedy.
It's all right.
I mean, he's really made too big a thing out of it, 'cause it doesn't even bother me anymore.
No, really, you don't have to.
I had a twin sister.
She drowned in the river.
I'm sorry.
It was ages ago.
We were only 10 years old.
Welcome home, Renee.
Oh, you can just set those down there for right now.
Okay.
(DOOR SQUEAKING) Hello? (RENEE SCREAMS) Renee? (SHUDDERING) Renee? Renee, what is it? All right, Renee, sit down.
She scratched me.
Take it easy.
Fine.
Now relax, try to relax.
(GASPING) Hold your arm and relax.
Now try to be calm.
All right, now breathe in the bag.
My heart.
Renee, breathe in the bag, slow down, relax.
Relax.
You're hyperventilating.
Let me take your pulse.
Let go with this hand.
All right, your pulse is strong.
I feel so strange.
That's okay.
Keep breathing with the bag.
(GASPING) Murmur.
My heart.
All right.
Give me the bag.
Relax.
All right.
Your heart is strong.
Is it fluttering? It's all right.
It's a symptom of hyperventilation.
It's all right.
Just slow down, slow down.
What did you see? A little girl.
She ran out the other door, and I tried to stop her.
She pulled away.
That's when she did this.
Do you know who she was? I don't think so.
I didn't see her face, but What? What is it Renee? This is gonna sound ridiculous, but from the back, she reminded me of Becky, my sister.
What's the prognosis? Well, have you had a tetanus shot lately? Uh-huh.
Then the prognosis is very good.
Well, it better be.
I've got sketching to do.
Creating.
Oh, I see.
You're left-handed, huh? No, but I need both hands to think.
Renee, who do you think it was? I don't know.
A neighbor's child, I guess.
It was weird, though, how she looked.
Well, I have a suggestion.
I suggest that we open up some of these windows and maybe let a little air in here, hmm? And then I suggest we see what's under the rag.
David, why don't we just leave things the way they are now? Until tomorrow.
Okay.
In that case, I'll go empty the van.
What a lovely morning.
My future studio.
(BIRDS TWITTERING) David! What? What is it? Renee? She must have run away.
She? She, who? The little girl from yesterday? Come on.
I want you to meet George.
Becky loved George.
George? Mmm-hmm.
It's my granddad.
Had him mounted on rockers so she could play with him.
You're kidding.
Wait till you see the next room.
It's the one George Washington would have slept in if we'd been on the right side.
(GASPS) A fine way to greet your cousin.
Hello, Renee.
Bernard Stevens.
I'm David Barrett.
Are you staying? For a while, yes.
Oh, lucky you.
It's too bad I wasn't bequeathed the country squire's life.
On the other hand, I make a great caretaker.
Thanks for not selling.
I'm afraid it isn't all good news.
I'm moving in.
You won't have the run of the place anymore.
I've never had the run of the place.
I use this for the office and go home to sleep.
Have you Have you been down to the mill yet? No.
But I will.
Come on, David.
Excuse me.
I hope you don't mind a little climb on the trip back.
Oh, not when the scenery is as beautiful as this.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Becky and I used to play here when we were kids.
We weren't supposed to, but she was always talking me into coming down here.
(WATER RUSHING) The river runs underground here, so they built the mill over it.
What a great old place! David, please.
You're not allowed.
It's not safe down there.
Is it deep? Not very, only about five feet at the wheel.
But the current is strong.
Please, let's go.
Hey, you okay? Sure.
It's just That's where Becky died.
No! It was Becky.
It was Becky! Renee, that's impossible.
It couldn't have been Becky.
I know it couldn't have been Becky.
But it was.
I saw her.
She was in the house when we arrived.
You didn't see Becky.
You think I wouldn't remember my own sister? Renee, she's been dead for 20 years.
She fell by the mill and drowned.
I know.
I was there.
Then you know that Becky couldn't have done this.
Renee, I I don't think you should plan on staying here.
I'm not leaving! You're right, David.
It couldn't have been Becky.
Then who was it? Somebody had to write that on the mirror.
Somebody made the scratches on that arm.
I'm sorry, Renee.
I just don't think you're ready yet.
Twenty years, Bernard.
I didn't wait that long to go away again.
If you wanna leave, I'll understand.
I'll stay.
(DOG BARKING) Sorry, Mr.
Lewitt.
Well, no luck, eh? I'm not giving up.
Do you like doing Lionel Prescott's dirty work for him? Letting him keep those beautiful nails clean.
What do you care? I care.
I care that he has single-handedly torn down most of New Oxford's historical monuments.
(SNICKERS) This is one estate you're not going to transform into a shopping mall.
Very noble.
But I don't believe you own this property.
Not yet.
This house isn't leaving the family.
GIRL: Hush, little baby, don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird don't sing Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring If that diamond ring gets broke Mama's gonna buy you a billy-goat If that billy-goat don't pull Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull RENEE: Becky, it is you.
GIRL: I won't talk to you.
Where are you going? Come with me and you'll find out.
(DOOR OPENING) Becky? Becky, please stay and talk to me.
GIRL: I told you I won't talk to you.
(DOOR CLOSES) GIRL: If that dog named Rover don't bark Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart If that horse and cart fall down You'll be the sweetest little baby in town RENEE: Becky, stop singing.
GIRL: Shh! He'll hear us! Don't run away from me.
Why not? You're not being fair.
Fair? Becky, play fair? Renee? Make him go away.
Renee? RENEE: Becky? GIRL: I told you I won't talk to you.
(DOOR CLOSES) DAVID: Renee? Renee! Renee, who's with you? Hello! GIRL: My sister can't talk to you now.
Renee? (DOOR BANGS SHUT) Renee? Who are you? (CLATTERS) (GLASS CLINKING) (GROWLING) (ROARS) (ROARING) RENEE: Becky! Becky! (SNARLING) (GROWLS) (SNARLING) (ROARING) David? What's going on here? Where are you? David? (GASPS) My God, what happened? That doll! Where did you get it? I don't know.
It must've been in the room.
That's the doll Becky tried to take away from me.
It fell in the water, and she went after it.
Bernard, Becky brought the doll to me.
All right.
Now, take it easy, Renee.
It was her, Bernard.
I spoke to her.
She said I was going to be punished, and then she ran away.
Stop it! I don't care what kind of delusions you're having.
This house is a shambles.
I don't understand how she did that.
I won't stand by and see this place destroyed.
Now if you won't get help, I'll get it for you.
I swear it was her, Bernard.
David? I did hear a child's voice.
Now, I don't believe that there's a ghost in this house and neither do you.
But there are a few people who would very much like to see you out of here.
I'm tired of your insinuations.
No, you're wrong, David.
It was Becky.
Or someone that looked like Becky.
Someone is trying to get you to leave this house.
You're as crazy as she is.
I feel that you should stay someplace else tonight.
I can't.
Especially now.
All right.
You hired me and I'm willing to stay here and help you if you help yourself.
You must stay in town tonight.
Hello, David.
Well, where's Renee? I haven't seen her yet this morning.
She's still upstairs, asleep.
Oh, well.
I thought maybe she'd changed her mind about selling the place.
I don't suppose she'd mind losin' a few minutes' beauty sleep.
(CHUCKLING) She certainly doesn't need it, does she? I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't disturb her.
How did you know she was here? Well, I called at the house.
Bernard told me as he was showing me to the door.
He's not the politest of young men, is he? How did you happen to go there? Well, since she decided to move out, I thought maybe she had a change of heart.
Did you know the sisters when Becky was alive? Oh, sure, everybody did.
Small town.
I wasn't much older myself, you know.
We used to call them Sunshine and Rain.
Why? Well, because of their personalities.
Renee was Sunshine, but Becky, (CHUCKLES) She was always gettin' dirt on her clothes, and gettin' into trouble, fallin' out of trees.
You know, a real hell raiser.
Why so curious? Well, just some strange things have been happening up at the house.
Strange? Oh, good Lord, don't tell me about it.
I've got enough trouble with the Stevens' house.
Why? Well, I thought I had it sold to Lionel Prescott.
So? See, what I did was, I borrowed some money from Prescott against my commission, a commission I'm not gonna get now.
He could ruin me.
Why does he want the house so badly? To make a parking lot.
I don't know.
You could help me with this, David, you know.
Renee listens to you.
No, I'm sorry, I can't.
Well, I'm not asking you to do anything wrong.
Just talk some sense to her.
I'm sorry, but thank you for not disturbing her.
All right, well, tell her I was here anyway, will you? In case she changes her mind.
Mmm-hmm.
What are you doing here? I was just looking around.
You seem to have a knack for surprising people.
How'd you get in here? There's an entrance through the trap door.
How's she doing? She's resting.
Well, I wish she would get herself some professional help.
A psychiatrist? I'm only thinking of what's best for her.
She's always been so fragile.
Not like Becky.
Becky was as tough as nails.
A real survivor.
But Renee You know, this is not the first time she's had problems.
What do you mean, problems? Well, she had a breakdown or something, when Becky died.
That's why Rawlins said she should go away.
Rawlins? The family doctor.
Bernard, that was 20 years ago.
But that's my point.
All those years, she didn't even come near this house.
When she finally did, look what happened.
Dr.
Rawlins? Yes? If you need a doctor, I'm retired.
(CHUCKLING) No, I don't need a doctor.
Oh, well, sit down, sit down.
Thank you.
So you collect coins then? Oh, no.
No, I haven't collected coins since I was a kid.
Well, I'm sorry, I guess we won't have very much to talk about then.
Renee Stevens.
Could we talk about her? Who? Renee Stevens.
Renee Stevens? The twins? Oh, yes.
Renee Stevens.
Yes.
Why, I haven't seen her since the accident.
I'm afraid I can't tell you very much.
But that's just what I need to know.
Right after the accident, you suggested that Renee leave New Oxford.
Why? Well, she was She was very upset about the death of her sister.
Very detached.
I didn't have to examine her to know that the change would be a good idea.
Why? I was afraid the strain would be too much on her heart.
Her heart? Yes, Renee had a murmur.
It was the only way I could tell them apart.
Becky used to try to fool me, but I always knew.
I was the only one who did.
Yes, Doctor, what kind of murmur? Why, heart, of course.
Yes, but I mean what kind? Are you a doctor? I have some background, yes.
Know what a ventricle is? Yes.
Renee had a ventricular septal defect.
Very pronounced.
Understand? She found that picture, and she left.
Your young lady, she got in a taxi a little while ago.
Thank you.
Renee! Renee! Renee! Becky, will you please tell me what's wrong? Stop it.
I told you I wouldn't answer.
Why not? You took away my doll, and then, when I fell in, you didn't even try to save me.
You're wrong, I did try to save you.
I just couldn't reach you.
RENEE: (IN BECKY'S VOICE) You always do everything wrong.
You stole my doll, and you stole my life.
I listened to you before and look what happened.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) That wasn't my fault.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) Always making me do things I don't want to do.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) No, that's not true.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) It is true.
You took everything that belonged to me.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) Here.
Take it.
I don't want it anymore.
Renee.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) You be quiet.
Don't you call her that.
Who are you? Are you the little girl I heard singing the other night? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) I'm not telling.
No one can tell us apart.
Dr.
Rawlins can.
I can.
We both know that Renee has something wrong with her heart, something that won't go away.
When you were sick the other day, I listened to your heart.
It was normal.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) David, I'm frightened.
All right.
Just stay there.
I'll be right down.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) Stay away! She's going with me to play at the mill.
Now wait.
I just wanna talk with her.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) I don't want to go, Becky.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) I told you, I won't talk to you until you call me by my right name.
Why do you want to go to the mill? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) To finish the game.
Game? What game? How's it played? We go to the river, and Renee falls in and then we don't try to save her.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) That's not true.
I tried to save you.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) And then we tell everyone that Becky died.
And spend the rest of your life pretending to be Renee.
But Becky lived.
She grew up.
Becky survived.
I couldn't tell them Renee died.
They loved her so much.
Don't you see? If they thought I died, it wasn't so bad.
They were always so gentle with Renee.
So I lied.
I told them I was Renee.
I'm sure they loved you, too, Becky.
It wasn't the same.
They would have hated me, if I'd lived and Renee had died.
Where are you going? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) We have to go to the mill.
If she wants to be Renee, she has to finish the game.
Renee dies at the end of the game.
That's what happened to me.
Those are the rules.
No wait.
Wait.
Renee.
Renee, wait! (POUNDING ON DOOR) Renee! Renee, open the door! (POUNDING CONTINUES) DAVID: Becky! Becky! Becky! RENEE: We're not allowed down there, Becky.
BECKY: It's okay.
Come on, scaredy cat.
You're gonna get us in trouble again.
Hush little baby, don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird Becky, let's go.
Give me your doll, let's see if she floats.
No.
You never wanna do anything fun.
You can't have her.
Get your own doll.
I can't.
I lost her.
Give her to me, Renee.
Come on.
No, let go of her.
Becky! Becky, listen to me.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) You tried to take my doll away.
Then you let me drown.
And you never even cried for me.
Becky.
Becky, it's all right.
Now, Becky, listen to me.
(GRUNTS) RENEE: Becky! Becky! Please help me.
Please help me.
Becky! Becky! (SCREAMS) David! David! Help me! David.
(ROARING) (GASPING) Help me! I did try to save you.
I did.
I reached out, but your hand slipped.
Oh, Renee, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
(CRYING) If you could have seen how I transformed you when I was hallucinating.
Green.
Huge.
You know, David, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.
Oh, thanks, but I have things I have to take care of.
Are you sure I can't offer you a ride? No, no, thank you.
It's such a beautiful day.
I'd like to take a nice, slow look at the place.
Becky, you know, I still can't get used to it.
For all these years it's Renee that was dead.
I know.
Feels so strange.
You didn't take your sister's place on purpose, you know.
It was beyond your control.
I'm learning to understand that.
Well, that's gonna take a little while, but you do have some marvelous help.
Dr.
Green and the Hodge Institute are among the best.
You sure you won't stay here? I could always use extra help.
No, thank you.
I really can't.
But, Bernard, I think I do owe you an apology.
Yeah, no, forget it.
I was wrong, too.
Thank you.
And you be good to yourself.
Be safe.
I will.
Now that I know what self I really am.
Renee! GIRL: My sister can't talk to you now.
(RENEE SCREAMING) What did you see? It was Becky! It was Becky! Renee, it couldn't have been Becky.
She's been dead for 20 years.
She fell by the mill and drowned.
David, please.
You're not allowed.
That's where Becky died.

She was in the house when we arrived.
You didn't see Becky.
You think I wouldn't remember my own sister? Renee, she's been dead for 20 years.
She fell by the mill and drowned.
I know.
I was there.
Then you know that Becky couldn't have done this.
Renee, I I don't think you should plan on staying here.
I'm not leaving! You're right, David.
It couldn't have been Becky.
Then who was it? Somebody had to write that on the mirror.
Somebody made the scratches on that arm.
I'm sorry, Renee.
I just don't think you're ready yet.
Twenty years, Bernard.
I didn't wait that long to go away again.
If you wanna leave, I'll understand.
I'll stay.
(DOG BARKING) Sorry, Mr.
Lewitt.
Well, no luck, eh? I'm not giving up.
Do you like doing Lionel Prescott's dirty work for him? Letting him keep those beautiful nails clean.
What do you care? I care.
I care that he has single-handedly torn down most of New Oxford's historical monuments.
(SNICKERS) This is one estate you're not going to transform into a shopping mall.
Very noble.
But I don't believe you own this property.
Not yet.
This house isn't leaving the family.
GIRL: Hush, little baby, don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird don't sing Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring If that diamond ring gets broke Mama's gonna buy you a billy-goat If that billy-goat don't pull Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull RENEE: Becky, it is you.
GIRL: I won't talk to you.
Where are you going? Come with me and you'll find out.
(DOOR OPENING) Becky? Becky, please stay and talk to me.
GIRL: I told you I won't talk to you.
(DOOR CLOSES) GIRL: If that dog named Rover don't bark Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart If that horse and cart fall down You'll be the sweetest little baby in town RENEE: Becky, stop singing.
GIRL: Shh! He'll hear us! Don't run away from me.
Why not? You're not being fair.
Fair? Becky, play fair? Renee? Make him go away.
Renee? RENEE: Becky? GIRL: I told you I won't talk to you.
(DOOR CLOSES) DAVID: Renee? Renee! Renee, who's with you? Hello! GIRL: My sister can't talk to you now.
Renee? (DOOR BANGS SHUT) Renee? Who are you? (CLATTERS) (GLASS CLINKING) (GROWLING) (ROARS) (ROARING) RENEE: Becky! Becky! (SNARLING) (GROWLS) (SNARLING) (ROARING) David? What's going on here? Where are you? David? (GASPS) My God, what happened? That doll! Where did you get it? I don't know.
It must've been in the room.
That's the doll Becky tried to take away from me.
It fell in the water, and she went after it.
Bernard, Becky brought the doll to me.
All right.
Now, take it easy, Renee.
It was her, Bernard.
I spoke to her.
She said I was going to be punished, and then she ran away.
Stop it! I don't care what kind of delusions you're having.
This house is a shambles.
I don't understand how she did that.
I won't stand by and see this place destroyed.
Now if you won't get help, I'll get it for you.
I swear it was her, Bernard.
David? I did hear a child's voice.
Now, I don't believe that there's a ghost in this house and neither do you.
But there are a few people who would very much like to see you out of here.
I'm tired of your insinuations.
No, you're wrong, David.
It was Becky.
Or someone that looked like Becky.
Someone is trying to get you to leave this house.
You're as crazy as she is.
I feel that you should stay someplace else tonight.
I can't.
Especially now.
All right.
You hired me and I'm willing to stay here and help you if you help yourself.
You must stay in town tonight.
Hello, David.
Well, where's Renee? I haven't seen her yet this morning.
She's still upstairs, asleep.
Oh, well.
I thought maybe she'd changed her mind about selling the place.
I don't suppose she'd mind losin' a few minutes' beauty sleep.
(CHUCKLING) She certainly doesn't need it, does she? I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't disturb her.
How did you know she was here? Well, I called at the house.
Bernard told me as he was showing me to the door.
He's not the politest of young men, is he? How did you happen to go there? Well, since she decided to move out, I thought maybe she had a change of heart.
Did you know the sisters when Becky was alive? Oh, sure, everybody did.
Small town.
I wasn't much older myself, you know.
We used to call them Sunshine and Rain.
Why? Well, because of their personalities.
Renee was Sunshine, but Becky, (CHUCKLES) She was always gettin' dirt on her clothes, and gettin' into trouble, fallin' out of trees.
You know, a real hell raiser.
Why so curious? Well, just some strange things have been happening up at the house.
Strange? Oh, good Lord, don't tell me about it.
I've got enough trouble with the Stevens' house.
Why? Well, I thought I had it sold to Lionel Prescott.
So? See, what I did was, I borrowed some money from Prescott against my commission, a commission I'm not gonna get now.
He could ruin me.
Why does he want the house so badly? To make a parking lot.
I don't know.
You could help me with this, David, you know.
Renee listens to you.
No, I'm sorry, I can't.
Well, I'm not asking you to do anything wrong.
Just talk some sense to her.
I'm sorry, but thank you for not disturbing her.
All right, well, tell her I was here anyway, will you? In case she changes her mind.
Mmm-hmm.
What are you doing here? I was just looking around.
You seem to have a knack for surprising people.
How'd you get in here? There's an entrance through the trap door.
How's she doing? She's resting.
Well, I wish she would get herself some professional help.
A psychiatrist? I'm only thinking of what's best for her.
She's always been so fragile.
Not like Becky.
Becky was as tough as nails.
A real survivor.
But Renee You know, this is not the first time she's had problems.
What do you mean, problems? Well, she had a breakdown or something, when Becky died.
That's why Rawlins said she should go away.
Rawlins? The family doctor.
Bernard, that was 20 years ago.
But that's my point.
All those years, she didn't even come near this house.
When she finally did, look what happened.
Dr.
Rawlins? Yes? If you need a doctor, I'm retired.
(CHUCKLING) No, I don't need a doctor.
Oh, well, sit down, sit down.
Thank you.
So you collect coins then? Oh, no.
No, I haven't collected coins since I was a kid.
Well, I'm sorry, I guess we won't have very much to talk about then.
Renee Stevens.
Could we talk about her? Who? Renee Stevens.
Renee Stevens? The twins? Oh, yes.
Renee Stevens.
Yes.
Why, I haven't seen her since the accident.
I'm afraid I can't tell you very much.
But that's just what I need to know.
Right after the accident, you suggested that Renee leave New Oxford.
Why? Well, she was She was very upset about the death of her sister.
Very detached.
I didn't have to examine her to know that the change would be a good idea.
Why? I was afraid the strain would be too much on her heart.
Her heart? Yes, Renee had a murmur.
It was the only way I could tell them apart.
Becky used to try to fool me, but I always knew.
I was the only one who did.
Yes, Doctor, what kind of murmur? Why, heart, of course.
Yes, but I mean what kind? Are you a doctor? I have some background, yes.
Know what a ventricle is? Yes.
Renee had a ventricular septal defect.
Very pronounced.
Understand? She found that picture, and she left.
Your young lady, she got in a taxi a little while ago.
Thank you.
Renee! Renee! Renee! Becky, will you please tell me what's wrong? Stop it.
I told you I wouldn't answer.
Why not? You took away my doll, and then, when I fell in, you didn't even try to save me.
You're wrong, I did try to save you.
I just couldn't reach you.
RENEE: (IN BECKY'S VOICE) You always do everything wrong.
You stole my doll, and you stole my life.
I listened to you before and look what happened.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) That wasn't my fault.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) Always making me do things I don't want to do.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) No, that's not true.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) It is true.
You took everything that belonged to me.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) Here.
Take it.
I don't want it anymore.
Renee.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) You be quiet.
Don't you call her that.
Who are you? Are you the little girl I heard singing the other night? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) I'm not telling.
No one can tell us apart.
Dr.
Rawlins can.
I can.
We both know that Renee has something wrong with her heart, something that won't go away.
When you were sick the other day, I listened to your heart.
It was normal.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) David, I'm frightened.
All right.
Just stay there.
I'll be right down.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) Stay away! She's going with me to play at the mill.
Now wait.
I just wanna talk with her.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) I don't want to go, Becky.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) I told you, I won't talk to you until you call me by my right name.
Why do you want to go to the mill? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) To finish the game.
Game? What game? How's it played? We go to the river, and Renee falls in and then we don't try to save her.
(IN RENEE'S VOICE) That's not true.
I tried to save you.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) And then we tell everyone that Becky died.
And spend the rest of your life pretending to be Renee.
But Becky lived.
She grew up.
Becky survived.
I couldn't tell them Renee died.
They loved her so much.
Don't you see? If they thought I died, it wasn't so bad.
They were always so gentle with Renee.
So I lied.
I told them I was Renee.
I'm sure they loved you, too, Becky.
It wasn't the same.
They would have hated me, if I'd lived and Renee had died.
Where are you going? (IN BECKY'S VOICE) We have to go to the mill.
If she wants to be Renee, she has to finish the game.
Renee dies at the end of the game.
That's what happened to me.
Those are the rules.
No wait.
Wait.
Renee.
Renee, wait! (POUNDING ON DOOR) Renee! Renee, open the door! (POUNDING CONTINUES) DAVID: Becky! Becky! Becky! RENEE: We're not allowed down there, Becky.
BECKY: It's okay.
Come on, scaredy cat.
You're gonna get us in trouble again.
Hush little baby, don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird Becky, let's go.
Give me your doll, let's see if she floats.
No.
You never wanna do anything fun.
You can't have her.
Get your own doll.
I can't.
I lost her.
Give her to me, Renee.
Come on.
No, let go of her.
Becky! Becky, listen to me.
(IN BECKY'S VOICE) You tried to take my doll away.
Then you let me drown.
And you never even cried for me.
Becky.
Becky, it's all right.
Now, Becky, listen to me.
(GRUNTS) RENEE: Becky! Becky! Please help me.
Please help me.
Becky! Becky! (SCREAMS) David! David! Help me! David.
(ROARING) (GASPING) Help me! I did try to save you.
I did.
I reached out, but your hand slipped.
Oh, Renee, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
(CRYING) If you could have seen how I transformed you when I was hallucinating.
Green.
Huge.
You know, David, you're welcome to stay as long as you like.
Oh, thanks, but I have things I have to take care of.
Are you sure I can't offer you a ride? No, no, thank you.
It's such a beautiful day.
I'd like to take a nice, slow look at the place.
Becky, you know, I still can't get used to it.
For all these years it's Renee that was dead.
I know.
Feels so strange.
You didn't take your sister's place on purpose, you know.
It was beyond your control.
I'm learning to understand that.
Well, that's gonna take a little while, but you do have some marvelous help.
Dr.
Green and the Hodge Institute are among the best.
You sure you won't stay here? I could always use extra help.
No, thank you.
I really can't.
But, Bernard, I think I do owe you an apology.
Yeah, no, forget it.
I was wrong, too.
Thank you.
And you be good to yourself.
Be safe.
I will.
Now that I know what self I really am.
