[ Ominous music plays ]
[ Thunder rumbling ]
[ Somber music plays ]
Maybe losing everything
is a good thing.
I know it is.
Tell your uncle that.
Yeah.
And then, you don't have to
come to these intense things
any more and
Mm. Mm-hmm.
If Uncle Seamus
doesn't have any money,
then he can't think
you're only after his cash.
- It's win-win.
- Yeah.
I guess I better mm.
I guess I'd better drink up
because, after this weekend,
we're gonna go back to
bottles of friggin' White Horse.
- Oh
- [ Both chuckle ]
Ooh.
I am going back in there to that
suspicious, tortured sourpuss,
who I love,
and making him see
that this is the best damn thing
that could've happened to us.
[ Thunder rumbling ]
O'KEEFE: I mean
I might maybe hold off on
the "best thing" part 'cause
Jayden? I mean
I just feel a glimmer of hope
about us
for the first time in
in a long time.
Mm-hmm.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, no, no, honey.
No.
Honey, why aren't you
lying down?
- This house too scary.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, this place is kind
of big and scary, eh?
I want to sleep with Daddy.
Hey. Uh
Your Mommy and Daddy
need to have
one of those grown-up talks.
Okay?
Where they wrestle?
[ Laughs ] I wish.
Why don't you and me
have a sleepover?
In the corner, over there.
Just us.
Really?
You'd do that with me?
Ah. Oh, yeah!
We can get some blankets,
build a fort.
We'll put some nice lights
inside.
We'll tell each other stories.
[ Whispers ] No scary stories.
[ Whispers ] No way!
Funny stories
with happy endings.
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
Come on.
Thank you.
[ Clock chimes ]
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Tense music plays ]
Sweetheart, I know I said a lot,
and that's not helpful
right now,
but I love you.
Seamus!
No, Seamus!
Oh, no! Oh, God! Oh, God!
Seamus!
[ Theme music plays ]
No! No, no, no!
[ Sobbing ]
WOMAN: Christy? Christy!
Christy!
Daddy! No!
- [ All screaming ]
- Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
- No! No!
- Fuck this game!
You did this! All of you!
Every single one of you fucked
up, greedy fucking bastards!
- Hey, hey. Christy, Christy.
- No, no!
Theo, you should've
stopped them!
You're as fucked up as the rest
of this fucked-up family!
- [ Bell rings ]
- No. No more.
FLORENCE: Not another
competition. I can't.
Okay, fuck this!
We're done!
You all say that,
but you all still do it, right?
Money, money, money,
money, money!
- Christy, enough!
- Shut the fuck up!
You shut the fuck up!
You're the worst of them,
and you know it!
He wasn't like this
when he wasn't around you.
Let's just get you and Aphra
out of here
No, no, no, no, no!
We can't leave him!
- We can't leave him!
- We're not gonna leave him!
We're not gonna leave him!
Okay?
[ Sobbing ] No!
Oh, no!
I can't fucking stand it!
Get off me!
Get your fucking hands off me!
I can't fucking stand this shit!
Someone make sure she doesn't
do anything crazy.
- Yeah, of course.
- Mama! Mama!
I know, I know.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
VINCENT: Let's go hear
what Spencer has to say.
And then we'll come back,
and we'll deal with him.
He's not going anywhere.
Right?
Come on.
SPENCER: Congratulations on
making it to the third round.
- THEO: No fucking way.
- SPENCER: The next competition
will begin in seven hours
in this very room.
So don't bother yourself
with those that are lost
and are gone.
We're here to find
the best of you.
The rest of you,
the weak,
the whiners, the lazy,
those of you with all
the excuses in the world
Well, guess what?
You don't matter.
No one cares.
- [ Breathing raggedly ]
- SPENCER: Not me
not the world my money
protected you from.
No one will remember you.
What the world remembers
are champions.
- Fuck Spencer!
- [ Glass smashing ]
And fuck this
fucking competition!
Fuck you, you motherfucker!
[ Crying ]
[ Screams ]
[ Object clatters ]
[ Tense music plays ]
It's gonna keep going
till we're all dead.
Why would he invite me here
just to kill me?
Spencer isn't behind this.
No way. I don't believe it.
He just admitted it
in his fucking video!
When he says gone, he just means
out of the competition.
Yeah, that's some
pretty selective hearing.
He wouldn't do that to us.
You mean he wouldn't
do that to you.
We are Spencer's heirs!
He only needs one heir, Mom.
Then it's gotta be Liv.
What did you say?
Liv is killing us? Why?
Now that she knows she can
inherit our fortune, she is
out there, plotting our demise.
It's probably one of you.
Yeah!
Always pointing fingers.
Trying to get us to think
it's someone else.
That's what's so suspicious
about you, Florence,
you and your little clan here.
We just found my brother
pinned to his bedroom wall
like a death's-head hawkmoth!
Exactly, which is why we should
just stop accusing each other.
Please!
We should stay together.
It's the only way
for us to be safe.
Well, I'm not staying
in here with her.
Or him. Or you!
Me? Why me?
Because you're the one
trying to keep us in here.
Fuck this!
I'm going to my bedroom.
- Grace!
- I am coming with you.
THEO: Please, guys!
Splitting up like this,
it's not safe!
Grace!
[ Florence scoffs ]
A room of one's own
with a door I can lock.
Mom.
O'Keefe, now.
Okay.
Mom!
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ]
Why don't you go
to your bedroom?
You should get some sleep.
BIRGIT: With my Liv missing?
With a killer out there?
She's a survivor.
She's probably the
strongest person here.
She had to be strong to survive
this fucking place.
You're the most prettiest baby!
- [ Baby coos ]
- Oh, you're so beautiful.
[ Chuckles, sniffles ]
[ Approaching footsteps ]
Could you give us
a minute, please?
Of course, Mr. Galloway.
[ Baby coos ]
Do you wanna see her?
[ Sniffles ]
Do you wanna see
your granddaughter?
[ Chuckles ]
You have two choices, Birgit.
One
You raise this baby as your own,
and I will pay
for her education,
but never recognize her
as a Galloway.
Two You can make a claim
that she's a Galloway.
If you do,
we will fire you,
destroy you,
and raise your baby ourselves.
And you'll never see her again.
[ Baby cries softly ]
Am I clear?
[ Sighs ]
[ Baby cries softly ]
[ Vincent grunting ]
This is
Straight up,
now everyone's gone,
could your mom be doing this?
Hey, she's your mom too.
[ Squelching ]
VINCENT:
Well, if not her, then who?
Which one of you hates
Seamus and Jayden enough
to do this shit?
Come on!
[ Grunts ]
Ahh almost got him free.
[ Tense music plays ]
[ Grunting ]
Fuckin' come on!
Come on!
Agh!
Get him off! Get him off!
Fucking get him off!
[ Whimpers ]
[ Panting ]
How are you so okay with this?!
My family hunted, so death
may be less of a thing for me.
Fuck.
Hey. I grew up with Seamus.
He was extra important
'cause our dad wasn't around.
Yeah, I get it.
Let's, uh, put him over there.
[ Somber music plays ]
He was so cool, man.
Got me into all the music
I'm into now.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, he loved everything.
Opera, George Michael,
the Stooges.
Wouldn't have taken him
for a Stooges guy.
Oh, yeah.
Me and him nuts for them.
Yeah, me too.
Do you see?
Twin mind meld.
[ Chuckles ]
You keep saying that, man.
Well, you keep resisting it.
We're pretty much strangers,
man.
You think you know
what I'm thinking?
Do you?
Didn't think so.
Let's go.
Okay.
[ Grunting ] All right.
- Steady.
- Mm.
VINCENT:
Where's the rest of him?
CHRISTY: Honey
[ Crying ]
I know.
Lie down. Lie down.
Here.
[ Sniffles ]
[ Aphra crying ]
[ Somber music plays ]
Why?
Why they do that to Daddy?
They don't like him?
They're bad people, sweetie.
Awful, awful people.
That's why we have to get
the fuck out of here.
[ Tense music plays ]
[ Lighthouse bell rings ]
[ Panting ]
[ Sniffles ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Panting ]
[ Grunting ]
Damn.
[ Tense music plays ]
That's it.
[ Tense music plays ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Both grunting ]
Aah!
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Aah!
Help me!
[ Tense music plays ]
Help me!
Hey! Hey!
Open the fucking door!
Let me in!
Come on!
Open the fucking door!
Shit!
Help me!
Come on! Fuck!
Come on!
[ Grunts ]
Shit!
[ Tense music plays ]
Aah! Get out!
[ Both grunting ]
[ Lock clicks ]
[ Panting ]
Who the fuck are you?
[ Exhales shakily ]
[ Doorknob turns ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Floorboards creak ]
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Footsteps crossing floor ]
[ Footsteps on staircase ]
[ Footsteps stop ]
[ Breathes shakily ]
[ Gasps ]
VINCENT: Fuck!
Jesus Christ!
What are you doing down here?
What are you doing
hiding out in the dark?!
Fuck!
I used to creep
around down here.
All the passageways and stuff.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah.
Well, also, I was gonna grab
the most
expensive-looking bottle, so.
Help yourself.
LIV: Well, when I was
in the basement, I heard him.
[ Gasps ]
Someone came in the house
and walked around above me.
Who's been out?
The footsteps crossed
the living room,
and then into the hallway
and down some stairs.
And when I opened the door
She bumped into me.
Oh?
What were you doing down there?
Okay, busted.
I wanted to see what
the good shit tastes like.
In the dark, alone?
Hey, that's the second time
you've made an accusation
at my son.
Well, because if anyone here
wanted to kill us all,
- it would be him.
- FLORENCE: Oh, yeah?
Or maybe you decided to kill
my brother because you finally
discovered the truth about him.
He told me about Liv.
- Mm, not that truth.
- Mom.
Speaking of Liv, where were you?
Flo, if you fucking start
with this again
What?
She was gone for hours.
LIV: It's fine.
I was trying to find a way
off this island.
And did you?
No.
Sorry.
Nancy drew the short stick.
Now you've knocked yourself
out of the running
for his inheritance.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Why is she out?
Missed a competition.
That's the rule.
Through no fault of her own!
Why should a bastard
Don't you fucking call her that!
I'm not bowing out.
Liv should compete.
She took on the killer.
- Right?
- You believe that?
There's two big knife wounds
right here.
Not bloody enough for you?
Spencer wanted me to compete.
So I will.
I deserve it.
Fine!
But if you win, so help me
- You'll be dead.
- [ Chuckles ]
Everyone out so I can
tend to her wounds.
[ Tense music plays ]
[ Christmas music plays ]
- Thank you, Mommy!
- [ Paper rustling ]
VINCENT:
I said I wanted the death laser!
It's the newer one, the
super death laser.
It's not the one I wanted!
Well, let's see.
What do we have here?
Hmm
Ah.
There you go, Liv.
Liv.
THEO: Thank you, Mommy!
Thank you, Mr. Galloway.
Sure.
That's a serious math kit
all the way from Germany.
[ Kit case clicks shut ]
I heard you weren't
doing too well.
You'll crush it next term,
kiddo.
Thank you so much.
Hmm.
VINCENT: That's it?!
- Liv, let's go.
- VINCENT: What a rip!
This is the worst
Christmas ever!
THEO: Oh, cool!
I found a needle
from a sewing kit,
but there are no painkillers
or anesthetic.
Just do it before
my mom gets back.
[ Tense music plays ]
Why did you run off like that?
[ Inhales sharply ]
Why didn't you grab one of us?
We were worried.
Your brother he was being
a fucking creep out there.
[ Gasps ]
How?
He tried to
connect emotionally
and then physically.
Did he touch you?
Trust me,
if it'd been really bad,
he'd have a broken nose.
I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
- THEO: No. I've been
[ Gasps ]
THEO: I've just been wanting it
to be different.
Wanting him to be different.
He was always bad
to his core.
Bad enough that time
wasn't gonna change anything.
[ Scissors snip ]
Okay?
[ Objects clatter in bag ]
Hey, man.
What were you doing out there?
With Liv?
She was upset.
I gave her a shoulder to cry on.
You took advantage of that,
right?
I'm glad you checked in
on my side of the story
before blowing your top.
I know she's telling the truth.
Hmm. Why?
Did you feel it happen?
That twin bullshit?
I know her.
What do you want from her?
- What do I want?
- Yeah.
She's hot, smart, tough.
No, she
she's a
she's a friend.
She's like a sister.
[ Laughs ]
Sister's not the vibe
I'm getting.
You know, you do this crap
all the time.
This prissy little good guy
that gets fucking outraged
because he hasn't got
the fucking balls
to go after what he wants.
Why don't I have that problem?
So you expect me
to fight you over this, huh?
[ Chuckles ]
You never fought
for anything in your life.
I had to fight for every
little thing that I got.
Just like Spencer.
So that is what I'm doing.
- Liv isn't some kind of prize.
- Oh, man! Liv!
Your mom, this place, the money!
You've had it your whole life.
Now, it's my turn.
[ Ominous music plays ]
[ Chuckles ]
[ Aphra murmuring indistinctly ]
[ Whimpers ]
Aphra, honey. Aphra.
[ Screaming in native language ]
Aphra, Aphra. Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
Please.
Please, please.
Honey. Hey.
- I'm bad
- CHRISTY: No.
I'm sorry for being
bad, bad girl.
It's okay.
I shouldn't have woken you.
You were just scared.
Why am I not like
other little girls?
Aphra, honey, you're not bad.
Okay?
It's okay. Come here.
Aphra not bad?
CHRISTY: No, sweetie.
I sorry.
I know you are, sweetie.
[ Somber music plays ]
Aphra, honey
Your daddy, was there
anything about him
that Mama should've known
but didn't?
What Auntie Florence
said earlier
Aphra hate Florence.
She's complicated.
But was there anything?
You know you can tell me.
[ Breathes shakily ]
I miss Daddy.
I know.
[ Clock chimes ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
MAN: Of course he would.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
[ Woman speaking indistinctly ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Indistinct conversation ]
They hate us.
You think enough to kill us?
They don't hate anyone.
Or Seamus knocks up Birgit,
doesn't acknowledge shit
while Birgit raises Liv in the
same house where, guess what?
They're treated like garbage.
Living here rent-free,
eating our food.
We're horrible.
We're monsters.
VINCENT: You're all so used to
this that you can't see
how fucking insane it is.
Of course they hate your guts.
Liv was stabbed twice.
How do you explain that?
She disappeared when your uncle
was murdered.
She killed for the army!
She has PTSD.
Post-traumatic psycho disorder.
And where was she
when Jayden was knocked out?
She came back here to get us.
- That's a good cover.
- Where were you?
You're staring this
in the face, man.
"De nile" [Denial] ain't just
a river in Egypt.
Someone we know is a murderer.
- Fuck.
- O'KEEFE: You can't
just keep protecting everyone.
You have to at least
consider it.
If you guys don't have
the stomach for it,
then we'll handle it.
- [ Gasps ]
- Handle what?
What are you guys planning?
[ Ominous music plays ]
Florence and Vince
want to kill us.
I am not making this up!
I overheard them say it.
I-I found a boat.
It's small, and it's damaged,
but I'm gonna fix it up,
and I'm gonna get us
out of here.
Okay, we have to go now.
- Now. Now! Now!
- Mom.
Mom, calm down. Calm down.
We can't go right now.
It's the middle of the night.
I'm exhausted.
If we have any hope of rowing to
the mainland, I need to sleep.
Okay?
But I promise you,
I'm gonna fix it up
first thing in the morning.
And as soon as they are busy
with the next challenge,
we are gonna sneak away.
We have to be careful.
The whole family is after us.
No.
Not all of them. Not Theo.
Oh
Don't be so sure.
[ Sighs ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Help! Mommy! [ Screams ] Mom!
Mom! They're gonna burn me!
Mom! Help! Help!
- We shouldn't do this.
- Keep blowing.
- [ Fire crackling ]
- Mommy!
- Mom!
- We're gonna get in trouble.
Keep blowing!
LIV: [ Screams ] Mom!
- Come on, blow!
- Mom!
Where are you?
Mommy!
Help! Mommy!
Hey! What are you doing?!
What are you doing?!
Get away from her!
[ Panting ]
Stop it! Stop it!
[ Panting ] Are you okay, baby?
VINCENT: Stop it!
- Don't touch her!
- Aah!
[ Tense music plays ]
Grandpa, the servant
just hit me!
What's going on here?
Vincent wanted us to burn Liv.
You can't tame
the rambunctiousness
of a strong boy.
You stay away from Liv.
Do you hear me?!
Why was he trying
to burn me, Mommy?
He is a bad boy.
Now, you need to stay away
from him.
Do you hear me?
Yes, Mommy.
Was he really going to kill me?
I would never let anything
happen to you.
I'm gonna get us away from here.
Okay? Really soon.
I'm gonna take care of this.

Why are you singing that?
How do you know that song?
What are you doing in here?
It's just an old lullaby, okay?
My kidnapper sang it to me.
[ Inhales sharply ]
O'KEEFE: Where is the lullaby
from, Birgit?
How do you know it?
Please, just just tell me.
Yeah?
Mom?
[ Tense music plays ]
Uh, I-I've known it
my whole life.
Birgit.
God, we've treated you horribly.
Vincent has opened up
my eyes to that, how
you and Liv have every reason
in the world to hate us.
So if you were behind
what happened,
I totally understand.
She didn't do anything.
My boy
he needs the truth,
and I know you wanna help him.
You're such a good mother.
Like me.
Please, Birgit. Please.
[ Inhales sharply ]
I did it.
[ Birgit inhales sharply ]
- My family and I
- Mom?
We kidnapped Vincent.
Aah!
It was you!
You fucking monster!
You keep your hands off her!
Stop talking, Mom.
You didn't do anything!
- I needed the money.
- You needed money?
I needed to get Liv away
from all of you.
But there was no request
for a ransom.
There was!
It was sent to Spencer.
That's another fucking lie.
He would've paid it
for his grandson.
He didn't pay anything!
He figured it out
and realized it was me.
He followed me, and he
and he took you.
And he sent you away.
I am so sorry.
Fucking liar. You liar!
Spencer took him from us!
And he never brought him
back to you.
I-I don't know why.
I thought you were dead.
I thought you were dead.
[ Crying ]
- They're the killers.
- No!
- FLORENCE: Yes, they have to be!
- No, no, no!
If she could do
that to a little
- Fucking string them up.
- No! No!
- What is wrong with you?
- [ Indistinct shouting ]
That's it! Everybody back up!
- Theo!
- That's it!
- Get out of here!
- FLORENCE: What are you doing?
It's them! It's them!
- THEO: Get out of here!
- Give me back my gun.
We'll lock them in here
till Monday.
You can't protect them!
The police will deal with them!
All right?
Not a bunch of vigilantes!
Fuck you!
They're the killers, man.
They have to pay.
- [ Gun cocks ]
- That's it!
- Aah!
- They're off-limits!
Now leave! Go!
Go, go, go!
Go.
[ Panting ]
- [ Stuttering ]
- It's okay.
- It's okay. It's okay.
- I wanted to tell them.
- That fucking psycho bitch!
- She's evil.
- Doing something like that
- To a little boy.
Of course they're the killers!
Everyone can see it!
Yeah, Theo doesn't.
We have to stop them.
They could break out,
and then what? Hmm?
Hmm?
There's only one way
to solve this.
[ Ominous music plays ]
[ Exhales heavily ]
Birgit's mine.
[ Ominous music plays ]
Fuck you! Fucking bitch!
[ Screams ]
She's not here.
They escaped.
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Lighthouse bell ringing ]
You go out and wait
on the end of the dock
where it's safe, okay?
- I can wait here with you.
- No.
I need you to watch the house.
If anyone moves,
come let me know
'cause I'm gonna have
to make some moves.
- Okay.
