[MUFFLED HEAVY METAL
MUSIC PLAYS]
[LOUD KNOCKING]
OFFICER: County Sheriff's Office.
OFFICER: Are your parents home?
We got a call about a possible disturbance.
Shit, we got a body.
What happened here?
Are you okay?
Here, have a seat over here.
Hey, I got a pulse. Need to roll rescue.
[THUMPING]
Is there anyone else in the house?
Is there anybody else here?
I'm going upstairs. Call for backup.
869 to dispatch.
Need an ambulance out to 1428 Elm Street.
Possible code 8.
[HEAVY METAL MUSIC
GETS LOUDER]
[SCREAMING]
[KNOCKING]
I'm in here!
[GUNSHOT]
869 to dispatch. Shots fired.
Stay right here.
[HEAVY METAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Isn't this nice?
Sure, if you're into cliches.
You know, Nina, this is your last chance.
Getting adopted at 17 isn't typical.
And after what happened last time,
you cannot afford to mess this up again.
Oh my god, it wasn't my fault.
Nina, I'm serious.
I get it. I'll be on my best behavior.
[KNOCKING] Brandon, come on!
I need to pee.
BRANDON: Just a minute.
I don't have a minute.
Mom, Brandon's doing that
thing in the bathroom again.
Shut up! I was just getting ready.
What died in here?
It's just cologne.
It smells like a chemical plant exploded.
[BACON SIZZLING]
Feeding an army?
I Just don't know what she's gonna like.
Sarah, she's a teenage girl.
Whatever you make will be fine.
You're really overthinking it.
I just want to make a
good first impression.
You will!
You're very impressive.
Calm down.
Kids! Breakfast!
CURTIS: Oh, there he is.
Waffles! Don't mind if I do.
Uh-uh. Plate first.
Come on.
[SNIFFING]
BRANDON: What?
What is that smell?
Just some cologne. That's all.
You only need one spritz.
[KNOCKING]
Alice, are you awake?
I am now.
Remember what I said about knocking?
Sorry. Mom told me to wake you up.
She's not my mom.
She's not your mom either.
Sorry.
I just had a bad dream.
Didn't mean to snap at you.
It's okay.
Hey, we're still sisters, okay?
No matter what.
Now go save me some bacon
before Brandon eats it all.
What's the big occasion?
Don't you remember?
We've been over this already.
That's today?
I told you. They had to move the date up.
[SIZZING]
Shit!
Mom!
Ooh, hey, let me help you with that.
CURTIS: Oh wow that is hot!
[DOOR CHIME]
I got it. I got it. I got it.
Can somebody get the door, please?
Why, hello there.
Sarah, your new daughter's here.
Off to a great start.
I know, I know. "Best behavior."
I apologize for Alice.
She's not a morning person.
You must be Nina.
It's so nice to meet you, come on in!
MISS ANDERSON: You have a beautiful home.
Thank you.
SARAH: Thank you. CURTIS:
Yeah, it's been in my family for years.
I grew up in this house.
Wow.
Wow.
I may have gone a little overboard
with breakfast,
but we weren't sure what you'd like.
Hi, I'm Zoe. This is my brother Brandon.
Hey.
He shy around girls,
especially pretty girls.
I am not, Zoe. Shut up.
CURTIS: Brandon!
Make yourself at home. We're all
excited to have you here.
[DOOR SLAM]
Are you sure about that?
Mind if I join you?
It's your house.
What's bothering you, kiddo?
Why does something have to be bothering me?
Is it about Nina?
I've got senior year, college applications,
my future to think about.
I don't have time for new sisters.
I get it.
Life's already complicated without
adding new people to the mix.
But could you at least introduce yourself?
If not for you, for her.
Fine.
Thank you.
[PHONE NOTIFICATION SOUND]
What's bothering you, Curtis?
Why does something have to be bothering me?
You know, no matter what you think,
your mother and I...
Sorry, Sarah and I
love you like a daughter.
It's the truth.
Come back in when you're ready.
I swear we feed her.
I'm just glad someone
appreciates my cooking.
They still do this in small towns?
Yeah, I've actually seen
this guy's photo quite a bit.
So, are you like a
photographer or something?
Something like that.
It helps me remember
all the places I've been.
All the people I've met.
Smile, Brandon!
I don't wanna smile.
I got a call from work.
It's some accounting
error. I need to go in.
Today of all days?
CURTIS: I know. But it's an emergency.
Be back as soon as I can.
Love you.
I better get going, too.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
You have a lovely home.
- Thank you!
And lovely children.
I know Nina's gonna fit right
in. Isn't that right, Nina?
Absolutely.
Great. I'll be back to check on
her in a couple of days.
Alright, take care.
Thank you.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSING]
[LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS]
Feel free to take whatever you want.
I won't be taking any of
this with me when I leave.
Where are you going?
I'm graduating high school early.
I won't be here much longer.
Why would you leave?
This place is perfect.
And you've got them wrapped
around your little finger.
Bet they'd give you anything.
It's not like that.
Sure it isn't.
Hmm. This one doesn't make me want to barf.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey.
Uh, what you listening to?
You want to hear?
I like it.
Everything to your liking?
It's perfect.
Come on Zoe, time for bed. We've got
school bright and early.
You can hang on to it.
- Really?
Yeah, I've heard it all before.
Do you want me to park and go in with you?
No, I'm good. This isn't my first rodeo.
Sorry.
Alice, could you make sure she
gets to the front office?
It's in the front, Sarah.
Kind of hard to miss.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Hold on.
Alright girls, I'll see you after
school. Have a good day!
So how long have you been going here?
Three years. Ever since
I've lived with the Turners.
And where were you before that?
Ah, touchy subject.
I only want to think about the future.
My life before here, I don't want
to go back there. You understand?
Yeah, I get that.
Hey! What the hell do
you think you're doing?
We're just playing tag.
She's bad at it.
The fuck did you just say?
Chill out. She just a middle schooler.
How is she in middle school?
That's Anessa. She got held back a year.
Has she done this to you before?
And you? You just let it happen?
- How is this my fault?
Look Zoe, if no one's going to stand up
for you, you have to stand up for yourself.
Don't let this bridge
troll push you around.
The next time she lays a finger on you, you
kick her as hard as you can in the knees.
And let the whole school watch her fall.
And that's... that's the last time
she'll ever fuck with you.
Okay, that's enough. I've got it from here.
Right, because you're
doing such a great job.
Come on, Zoe.
Don't listen to her.
If you fight back, it'll
only make it worse.
And you don't want to get taken from mom and dad, do you?
- No
Okay. Then keep your head
down and stay out of trouble.
[COMPUTER BEEPS INCESSENTLY]
[KNOCKING]
Mr. Turner?
What's up, Brittany?
Hey. Um...
Your wife called.
Okay, thanks.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hey, what's going on?
I was just wondering what
your plans are for dinner.
It's Nina's first day of school, so...
SARAH: I thought we could
go out together. As a family.
I don't know, Sarah. Kinda dealing
with an emergency here.
Curtis, it's always an emergency. Can't
you just take a day off?
Babe, I gotta go.-Curtis, wait...
Thanks Mrs. Allen.
Oops, my bad.
First day?
Yeah, I'm actually running late to lunch.
Yeah well, here's a
snack in case you miss it.
Thanks.
I'll catch you around.
You too.
You know it's lunchtime.
Why aren't you hanging
out with your friends?
I could ask you the same.
I'm new!
What's your excuse?
Did you need something?
Oh my God, Alice. Lighten up. I'm just
trying to get to know you.
Don't. We're not
friends. We're not sisters.
We're just strangers that happen to live
under the same roof. That's it.
Dramatic much?
You know, I was gonna
share my apple with you.
Your loss.
Hey, nice iPod. Mind if I borrow it?
Come on, Zoe.
Take it! Take it!
I can't believe my mom forgot to pick me
up from school again, she always does this.
Jeez - want me to walk with you?
Nah I'm fine. I'm used
to walking home alone.
Alright well, get home safe.
- Thanks. You too.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, what the fuck?
What the hell is wrong with you?
[SCREECHING TIRES]
[SCREAMS]
What happened to your elbow?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Still no sign of Nina?
No.
Where the hell were you?
I was looking for a
friend. Why do you care?
Zoey got into another fight.
I wouldn't call it a fight.
You hesitated. You had
your moment and you blew it.
That's on you.
- Hey leave her alone.
Bullies, don't just leave you alone.
You have to make them stop.
Next time, don't hesitate.
Don't listen to her.
No, she's right. I should
have stood up for myself.
[HORN HONKS]
I'm sorry I lost your music thing.
Don't worry about it. I
needed an upgrade anyway.
What happened?
Nothing.
Alice. What's wrong? You haven't
even touched your dinner.
I'm just not hungry.
I'll take it if you're not gonna eat it.
[DOOR SLAMS]
So, what's for dinner?
Ooh, I know that look.
Someone's in trouble.
What?
If you want, I can call Dr. Shann in the morning and schedule you a session.
- No!
I really thought the therapy was working.
It was. It's just...
I have to be able to do this on my own.
Without a therapist. Without you guys.
Alice, everyone needs help every once in a
while. You can't do it all yourself.
There's no shame on letting
your family lend a hand.
Don't say that.
What? That we're you're
family? We're here to help?
You won't always be.
We will. I promise you
we're not going anywhere.
Look around.
All this is as much yours as it is mine.
And like it or not, I'm gonna be in your
life until they put me in the dirt.
And even then I might just come back
and haunt you for kicks.
[ALICE LAUGHS]
I'm really sorry for everything.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
I love you, kiddo. Always remember that.
Curtis, I think there's
something wrong with Nina.
Wrong how?
I don't know. Like, bad vibes? It
just doesn't feel right having her here.
Okay. Anything more
concrete than bad vibes?
You don't believe me?
It's not that. You've always been
a good judge of character.
Maybe sleep on it?
Until you make a final judgement?
Fine.
Thank you.
Bad dream?
What are you doing in my room?
Why are you talking shit about me, Alice?
What are you talking about?
Drop that act. I heard you.
I wasn't talking shit. I'm
just concerned. Alright?
Concerned? I'm trying to make this work.
I don't want to go back.
Go back where?
[KNOCKING]
SARAH: Everything alright in there?
Yeah. I'm fine. Just a bad dream.
Okay. Try and get some sleep.
Okay. Good night.
You fuck this up for me, and I'll make
your life a nightmare. You understand?
Glad we're on the same page.
I know it's supposed to be sad and all,
but I also feel relieved.
That sounds horrible, doesn't it?
No. No.
It's okay.
[DOOR CREAKS]
Nice try. But if this is payback for last
night, you'll need to be more original.
Don't you think it's a little messed up to
make light of a tragedy? A girl lost her life.
You don't seem too torn up about it.
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
All these tears for some
asshole who spent the last few years
terrorizing the school.
You have no idea. She made Zoe's life hell.
I'm... I'm glad she's gone.
[CAMERA SHUTTER]
Stop taking pictures of me.
Or what?
Just stop. Please.
[SCREAMS]
Alice? Is everything all right?
Sorry. I have to go.
Alice!
Thanks for picking up the kids, Karen,
but I've got it from here.
Oh, nonsense. I love
spending time with the kids.
Get... get... get that away from me.
And besides, my assistant is bringing
some documents here,
so I'll be out of your hair soon enough.
Hey. Are you feeling better?
I'm fine, Sarah.
[DOORBELL]
Oh, that must be my assistant now. Alice,
do me a favor and get the door.
[DOORBELL]
Hold on! I'm coming!
What are you doing here?
Nina, didn't tell you?
Oh, hey guys! These are my guests. We
have a project due by the end of the week.
Thought we'd get a jump
start on it. Come on in.
Wow. Nice place.
Um, if this is gonna be a problem, we
can just do it at my house.
Don't be ridiculous. There's enough space
for all of us here. Isn't that right, Alice?
Whatever.
We're gonna be in the
pool if you wanna join us!
[DOOR SLAMS]
Or not.
Uh, excuse me?
Is Karen here?
KAREN: Brittany, is that you?
[LAUGHTER]
[KNOCKING]
What?
Are you coming outside?
No!
Is everything okay?
It's just been a rough week.
Well, if you change your mind,
you should come outside.
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
Cannonball!
Come on, you two! The water's great!
Hey, watch it!
Alex isn't usually this annoying. He's
just trying to impress you.
Oh yeah? He's kinda cute.
No. Gross.
What's the deal with you and Alice?
There's no deal.
Bullshit. I saw the way you two looked at each
other back there. There's obviously some history.
It's... complicated.
I can handle complicated.
RILEY: We used to be friends.
At least, I thought we were...
See ya!
Need a ride?
Nah, I'm gonna run.
Suit yourself.
[COOL ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Holy shit!
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
Hello?
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
[THUD]
[GROANING]
What the hell, you crazy bitch?
I never did like you.
[PHONE RINGS]
SARAH: Hello?
SARAH: No, of course.
SARAH: No, I was up.
SARAH: No.
SARAH: I'm sure.
SARAH: No...
SARAH: No, I haven't seen her.
She was, but she left last night.
SARAH: I'm sure.
SARAH: That's right.
Hey, I need to talk to you.
Come on.
NINA: Amber's accident, Angel's suicide,
and now Riley? Don't you see a pattern?
ALEX: And you're saying your
perfect straight-A sister is
the mastermind behind
all these mysterious deaths?
Behind Riley's disappearance?
Riley's dead, Alex. I know because Alice
did it. And she wants me to know she did.
But that's crazy!
I know. Fucking bat shit crazy.
And she sleeps across the hall from me.
Maybe it's all a coincidence. Nina, you're
accusing your sister of murder.
It's not a coincidence. Alice pretends like she
doesn't care about anything. Like she's above it all.
But everything in that
house is manipulated by her.
Nina, this is not your fault.
This isn't on you.
I'm sorry!
- Don't be.
It's nice to have someone
by my side for a change.
I'm not going anywhere.
[KNOCKING]
Yeah?
Hey, Nina. You hungry? We're gonna go out
for dinner if you want to come.
I don't know. I'm not really hungry.
You too, huh? It's the same
line Alice gave me.
I guess you can keep
each other company tonight.
Actually, I'll tag along.
Great!
Can I get an ice cream now?
You just had two cokes.
You don't need ice cream.
But I want it.
You heard her. She wants it.
Fine.
Hey, wait up.
Kids I tell ya.
NINA: So, why did you two want
to become foster parents?
Well, I always wanted a big family,
but there were complications.
CURTIS: It just wasn't in the cards.
Then Alice came into our lives,
and it just felt right.
What's her story?
Why are you so interested in Alice?
I'm just trying to get to know her better.
CURTIS: She had it rough growing up.
Her mother and father
passed when she was younger.
Both of them?
It was a murder-suicide.
Oh my God.
While Alice was in the house.
Alice didn't see it, thank God.
And then there were the Parkers.
The Parkers?
They were the family that
adopted Alice before we did.
But there was an accident.
It wasn't an accident. They were murdered.
Two men broke in the house and robbed them
while Alice hid upstairs in the closet.
Look, Alice has already lost
everything twice over.
I don't want that to happen again.
BRANDON: Out of all the flavors,
you chose mint?
ZOEY: Obviously.
That's the worst flavor
BRANDON: I don't want my gum, my mouthwash,
and my toothpaste to taste like ice cream.
That's disgusting.
ZOEY: At least you can skip
brushing your teeth.
You haven't been brushing your teeth?
CURTIS: They don't even brush
their teeth?
SARAH: No, you still
have to brush your teeth.
ZOEY: I think I messed up.
[LAUGHTER]
[ENGINE CLICKS]
Oh, shit!
Hey, Alice.
Hey, Alex.
Want to give me a ride?
Uh, sorry, I gotta go pick up
something from the gym.
Come on.
Sorry, I really gotta go.
[KEYS JINGLE]
Come on, Alice.
Come and get them!
- Are you really gonna play this game with me?
I saw you in the library with Nina.
Just give me the keys.
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
Alice: Fucking bitch!
[GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
[IDLE BACKGROUND CHATTER]
CURTIS: Hey. It's really nice to have you
with us tonight, Nina.
Yeah, I had fun.
Well rest up. We'll see you in the morning.
Goodnight.
Oh! Shit, Alice!
Why are you so jumppy?
- I'm not jumpy!
Whatever you say...
Come on, Alex!
Alex?
Alex, where are you?
Alex?
You gotta be kidding me.
[MESSAGE NOTIFICATION SOUND]
Alex?
Alex? Alex?
Can you hear me? Alex?
There were some text messages on Nina's phone.
Did you know that they had planned to meet up?
She's just a kid. I can't believe she'd
be involved in anything like this.
She's a foster child. Do you know
anything about her past?
Come on. You know what? It doesn't matter
who she was before she came to live with us.
I think that's about
enough tonight, detective.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
Get in the car.
What in God's name are you doing out here
in the middle of the night?
You wouldn't understand.
Then help us understand, Nina.
So you snuck out in the middle of the night
to meet a boy. It's not that big a deal. I
used to do it all the time when I was your age.
We just don't know how he wound up dead.
I already told you. I don't know.
Well, if he did something to you
and you fought back...
I didn't kill him!
Okay?
Sorry.
We're talking about this more at home.
Unbelievable.
ALICE: Everything all right?
Yeah, sweetheart.
You didn't have to stay up.
Why don't you just go back to bed. School's
gonna be canceled tomorrow.
Canceled? Why?
Well, if it isn't the drama
queen. You really crave attention.
You bitch! You did this!
CURTIS: Nina!
ALICE: I don't know
what she's talking about.
She's lying!
Ask her where she was last night.
Nina, that's enough. Go to your room.
Now! Go!
Sorry.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
DETECTIVE: Hi, Mrs. Turner.
It's detective Harris.
I hope I didn't wake you.
No, I was up.
Well, something has come to our attention
regarding your daughter.
It would be best if discussed in person.
Could you and your husband come
down to the station today?
Yes, of course.
We'll be there.
What was that about?
SARAH: [SIGHS]
CURTIS: Mom, thanks for coming.
Yeah, well, what are mothers for?
SARAH: We won't be long.
KAREN: And you're sure it's safe for her to
be here around the other children... with me?
She's just a teenage girl. Whatever's going
on, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.
Or maybe she's just a bad apple. I mean, no
one would blame you if you sent her packing.
CURTIS: We'll sort it out later, Mom.
KAREN: Uh huh.
It's always something.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
NINA; Miss Anderson, it's me.
Nina.
This better be good. I just sat
down for a glass of wine.
You need to come pick me up.
MISS ANDERSON: I thought we agreed
you'd give this a chance.
I gave it a shot. Now come get me.
Where are you going?
I'll call you back.
Is everything okay?
I'll just... I'll call you back.
Nina. Nina?
Are you leaving?
It's not safe for me here.
What about me? Is it safe for me?
As long as Alice is here, no one is safe.
What do you mean? What's wrong with Alice?
[PUNCHING IN CODE]
[OPENING SAFE DOOR]
[RUMMAGING]
Alice, what are you doing sneaking around?
You have no idea how
long I've been waiting for this.
DETECTIVE: Thank you both for coming in.
On the phone you said you wanted
to talk to us about Nina.
Nina has been with six different families
over the last four years.
And in each case she had to be
removed from those homes.
What for?
You name it.
Theft, drugs, assault.
CURTIS: My God.
She nearly blinded a boy at the last foster
family she was staying with.
Nina did that?
Apparently the boy tried
to force himself on Nina.
DETECTIVE: And well, obviously,
she defended herself.
This is insane.
So either Nina is just extraordinarily unlucky, in
the wrong place, at the wrong time, all the time...
Or she just has a knack
for attracting trouble.
ZOEY: So what don't you
like about it here?
I lived with some really bad people.
People who would hurt me... and worse.
The Turners, they're nothing like them.
They're good people, Zoe.
They're just... gullible.
They can't see Alice for who she really is.
What if you're wrong about Alice? She's
always been nice to me.
I'm not.
So you're just gonna run away and leave us?
If I stay here, it's only gonna get worse.
For all of us.
What happens to all of
us if you're right about her?
I found it.
[CLANKING]
Oh shit!
Brandon, stop!
[THWAK]
[FLESH TEARING]
[SPLASH]
Did you hear that?
Oh shit, it's happening.
Zoey, go to your room
and lock the door now.
Why? What's going on?
- Just go!
Brandon!
What happened?
What the...
What did you do?!
Looks like it's just the two of us, Nina.
Stay the fuck back!
[DOORBELL]
Let me get that.
No!
You mother fucker!
Please, you have to help me!
She just killed my brother and now
she's trying to kill me!
What in the hell are you talking about?
Get away from her, you bitch!
Nina, what the fuck?!
Get away from her, she's dangerous!
Don't let her get me!
Don't listen to her, she's crazy!
Alright, alright, how about you drop the hammer,
we'll call the police and let them sort it out.
Fine!
You girls stay right here. You do not
move, you hear me? Do not move.
Uh, hi, I'm Brittany.
I brought the reports that Karen needs.
I'm sorry, Brittany, we're kind of in
the middle of something right now.
Wait, wait.
She said that it's very important
that I hand them to her.
Who's Karen?
My grandmother, she's not here.
Her car's in the driveway.
Where is she, Alice?
What did you do to her?!
Explain!
What?! You seriously don't believe her!
You might fool some of us with that
act, you're not fooling me.
You know what, I'm gonna call the police
and let them figure this out.
[CRASH]
What are you waiting for, sis?
Kill her.
My pleasure.
[STABS]
Thought you had won.
Didn't you?
[PUNCH]
[THUD]
[HORROR MOVIE PLAYING
ON TV]
Hey!
Consider it rent.
Aren't you a little...
old to be playing dress up?
Isn't it a little emasculating to let a
woman buy all your drinks?
While you just sit on your ass.
[FOOSTEPS UP THE STAIRS]
[FOOSTEPS UP THE STAIRS]
[MUSIC BLARING FROM UPSTAIRS]
You know, if you're gonna
have a smart mouth
You might as well put it
to use.[UNZIPS PANTS]
No. No. No. No.
No. No. Please.
- Come on.
- - Please. Please. No. No!
Stop fighting.
No. No. No.
[GUNSHOT]
Alice.
Put the gun down. Put it down.
[SOBBING] It's okay.
It's okay.
What? What did you do?
What the fuck did you do?
You bitch!
You're a little bitch, bitch!
See what you did??
Why?? I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
You little bitch!
[THUD]
It's okay.
It's okay.
Listen.
I want you to go downstairs, okay?
I'm gonna fix this.
Just go.
Bitch.
She's not going anywhere.
Just let her stay here
and burn with the others.
We gotta get moving.
It's showtime.
Alice was right about Nina.
I mean, ever since she stepped
foot in our house,
everything's just felt... off.
We don't know the whole story.
Well, we know enough.
She was the last person
to see that Alex boy alive.
She was hanging out with Riley
before she went missing.
We supposed to just think these
were all coincidences?
Doesn't it worry you in the slightest that
we've opened our house to a complete stranger?
She's not a monster, Curtis.
We can't just jump to conclusions before we
hear her side of the story.
Hey there, sleepy head.
You??
Why are you doing this?
I mean, what do you want with me?
Isn't it obvious?
We want what's in there.
Yeah, well, go ahead and kill me.
Cause I'm not giving you shit.
Don't worry, you will soon.
For now, you can give
us some peace and quiet.
ALICE: What?
[THUMP]
I know you're in here.
[SNIFFS]
I smell you.
BRITTANY: Where the fuck are you at?
They're here!
Coming!
[SIZZLING]
[MUFFLED CRIES]
Alice.
What are you doing? You're up.
Yeah, I've got this.
Oh my God, Alice, your eye.
What happened?
This?
Oh, it's nothing.
That is not nothing.
You need to put ice on that.
Sarah, I'm fine.
Didn't Nina do that to you?
Nina? What?
No, it was just... Zoe.
She accidentally elbowed me in the face.
Please don't make this a big deal.
Where is everyone?
Oh, they're in the garage.
What? Why?
It's a surprise.
Come on, you'll like it.
Okay...
Mom!
Curtis!
Please help, there's an intruder!
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
[SLAP]
[SCREAMING]
You fucking bitch!
[TAZER BUZZING]
Took you long enough.
Hey, I'm not the one who got overpowered
by a soccer mom.
She called the cops.
Still ringing.
Sarah!
Jesus Christ, Alice!
Why are you doing this?
We're your family!
[LAUGHTER] Family?
I'm her only family.
You're just a mark.
And a super gullible one at that.
You know, you really should be careful who
you let into your life, Curtis.
I mean, you and your desperate, barren wife
practically rolled out the red carpet for Alice.
Alice.
It doesn't have to be like this.
I love you.
If she's making you do this, she doesn't
really care about you.
Well, isn't it just father
of the fucking year?
Fuck you!
Hey, Curtis.
Why don't you save your breath?
You won't be breathing much longer.
[grunting]
- Sorry, Curtis.
But I've already tried to fucking tell you!
My future just doesn't involve you.
It's nothing personal.
Nothing personal?
You're my daughter!
I would have given you everything!
Oh, Curtis. We don't want your everything.
We want more.
Do you want to tell him?
Or should I?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know?
Then what the fuck is this?!
I told you he didn't know!
Wow, you're even more
gullible than I thought.
[KNOCKING]
Is it safe now?
No, but I need your help.
Mom, what the hell is that?
It's a safe.
I know it's a fucking safe!
What's inside?
Yeah, Karen.
We all want to know what's in the safe.
Oh, okay.
Well, if that's how you want to play it.
Stupid fucking psycho!
Before you judge me and my family...
Take a cold hard look at your own.
This is gonna be fun.
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
KAREN: No, stop!
Stop it now!
Stop!
BRITTANY: The code, bitch!
You let him go and I'll give you the code.
[LAUGHTER]
2666! Now let him go!
Please, you've got what you want,
now let him go, please.
Please let him go.
BRITTANY: Breathe Curtis!
[GASPING]
[CHOKING]
[TYPING IN SAFE CODE]
[RUMMAGING]
BRITTANY: I told you it'd be worth it.
Curtis I'm so sorry.
CURTIS: Alice... please...
[LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
The fuck is that?
I told you she'd be a pain in the ass.
You take care of her.
I'm gonna get cleaned up.
CURTIS: Alice, please!
[LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Motherfucker!
Fucking bitch!
Okay, I need you to run.
I need you to go to the neighbor's
house and call the police.
I'm not leaving you!
Zoey, I'm only gonna slow you down.
You're one shot at this.
Go!
Zoey, stop!
[THWAK]
Going somewhere?
Please, Nina.
You might pretend to be tough,
but do you really think you stand a chance
with me?
[THWAK]
At least I'm standing!
So, this is the better life you have
planned for Alice, huh?
Being a murdering, thieving piece of shit!
We're the thieves?
Well, why don't you ask Mommy where
all the money came from?
All of the mysterious trades
in the retirement fund?
The missing money?
All of it.
Your mom's the biggest crook in the room.
Not us.
Mom?
What is she talking about?
Mom!
Curtis, I'm so, so sorry.
God damn it, Mom!
You really think you're
gonna get away with it?
Wouldn't be the first time.
Really?
CURTIS: Burn in hell for this.
You first.
Sorry to ruin your plans.
You haven't ruined anything.
In fact, this works out even better.
You're gonna take the fall for all of this.
No one's gonna believe that story.
They'll believe whatever I tell them.
By now, Zoey's at the neighbor's house.
The police are on their way.
It's over.
Then I guess when I'm done with you,
I'll have to pay the neighbors
a little visit, won't I?
You know, ever since you got here,
I just wanted to come into your
room, slit your throat,
watch your stupid little face bleed out.
But this?
This is even better.
[THUMP]
Zoey!
Alice?
Alice?!
Are you okay?
Zoey, I told you to run.
I couldn't just let her kill you.
Well. What do we have here?
Alice?
No!
You're done, bitch!
Run!
You heard her! Run!
Fuck it!
You ruined everything!
[SCREAMING]
[GUNSHOT]
Zoey...
Help them first. Please.
POLICE RADIO: We have multiple casualties.
One suspect unaccounted for.
Damn, what the fuck?
Babe is that you?
[GASPS]

[LOUD KNOCKING]
OFFICER: County Sheriff's Office.
OFFICER: Are your parents home?
We got a call about a possible disturbance.
Shit, we got a body.
What happened here?
Are you okay?
Here, have a seat over here.
Hey, I got a pulse. Need to roll rescue.
[THUMPING]
Is there anyone else in the house?
Is there anybody else here?
I'm going upstairs. Call for backup.
869 to dispatch.
Need an ambulance out to 1428 Elm Street.
Possible code 8.
[HEAVY METAL MUSIC
GETS LOUDER]
[SCREAMING]
[KNOCKING]
I'm in here!
[GUNSHOT]
869 to dispatch. Shots fired.
Stay right here.
[HEAVY METAL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Isn't this nice?
Sure, if you're into cliches.
You know, Nina, this is your last chance.
Getting adopted at 17 isn't typical.
And after what happened last time,
you cannot afford to mess this up again.
Oh my god, it wasn't my fault.
Nina, I'm serious.
I get it. I'll be on my best behavior.
[KNOCKING] Brandon, come on!
I need to pee.
BRANDON: Just a minute.
I don't have a minute.
Mom, Brandon's doing that
thing in the bathroom again.
Shut up! I was just getting ready.
What died in here?
It's just cologne.
It smells like a chemical plant exploded.
[BACON SIZZLING]
Feeding an army?
I Just don't know what she's gonna like.
Sarah, she's a teenage girl.
Whatever you make will be fine.
You're really overthinking it.
I just want to make a
good first impression.
You will!
You're very impressive.
Calm down.
Kids! Breakfast!
CURTIS: Oh, there he is.
Waffles! Don't mind if I do.
Uh-uh. Plate first.
Come on.
[SNIFFING]
BRANDON: What?
What is that smell?
Just some cologne. That's all.
You only need one spritz.
[KNOCKING]
Alice, are you awake?
I am now.
Remember what I said about knocking?
Sorry. Mom told me to wake you up.
She's not my mom.
She's not your mom either.
Sorry.
I just had a bad dream.
Didn't mean to snap at you.
It's okay.
Hey, we're still sisters, okay?
No matter what.
Now go save me some bacon
before Brandon eats it all.
What's the big occasion?
Don't you remember?
We've been over this already.
That's today?
I told you. They had to move the date up.
[SIZZING]
Shit!
Mom!
Ooh, hey, let me help you with that.
CURTIS: Oh wow that is hot!
[DOOR CHIME]
I got it. I got it. I got it.
Can somebody get the door, please?
Why, hello there.
Sarah, your new daughter's here.
Off to a great start.
I know, I know. "Best behavior."
I apologize for Alice.
She's not a morning person.
You must be Nina.
It's so nice to meet you, come on in!
MISS ANDERSON: You have a beautiful home.
Thank you.
SARAH: Thank you. CURTIS:
Yeah, it's been in my family for years.
I grew up in this house.
Wow.
Wow.
I may have gone a little overboard
with breakfast,
but we weren't sure what you'd like.
Hi, I'm Zoe. This is my brother Brandon.
Hey.
He shy around girls,
especially pretty girls.
I am not, Zoe. Shut up.
CURTIS: Brandon!
Make yourself at home. We're all
excited to have you here.
[DOOR SLAM]
Are you sure about that?
Mind if I join you?
It's your house.
What's bothering you, kiddo?
Why does something have to be bothering me?
Is it about Nina?
I've got senior year, college applications,
my future to think about.
I don't have time for new sisters.
I get it.
Life's already complicated without
adding new people to the mix.
But could you at least introduce yourself?
If not for you, for her.
Fine.
Thank you.
[PHONE NOTIFICATION SOUND]
What's bothering you, Curtis?
Why does something have to be bothering me?
You know, no matter what you think,
your mother and I...
Sorry, Sarah and I
love you like a daughter.
It's the truth.
Come back in when you're ready.
I swear we feed her.
I'm just glad someone
appreciates my cooking.
They still do this in small towns?
Yeah, I've actually seen
this guy's photo quite a bit.
So, are you like a
photographer or something?
Something like that.
It helps me remember
all the places I've been.
All the people I've met.
Smile, Brandon!
I don't wanna smile.
I got a call from work.
It's some accounting
error. I need to go in.
Today of all days?
CURTIS: I know. But it's an emergency.
Be back as soon as I can.
Love you.
I better get going, too.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
You have a lovely home.
- Thank you!
And lovely children.
I know Nina's gonna fit right
in. Isn't that right, Nina?
Absolutely.
Great. I'll be back to check on
her in a couple of days.
Alright, take care.
Thank you.
[FRONT DOOR CLOSING]
[LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS]
Feel free to take whatever you want.
I won't be taking any of
this with me when I leave.
Where are you going?
I'm graduating high school early.
I won't be here much longer.
Why would you leave?
This place is perfect.
And you've got them wrapped
around your little finger.
Bet they'd give you anything.
It's not like that.
Sure it isn't.
Hmm. This one doesn't make me want to barf.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey.
Uh, what you listening to?
You want to hear?
I like it.
Everything to your liking?
It's perfect.
Come on Zoe, time for bed. We've got
school bright and early.
You can hang on to it.
- Really?
Yeah, I've heard it all before.
Do you want me to park and go in with you?
No, I'm good. This isn't my first rodeo.
Sorry.
Alice, could you make sure she
gets to the front office?
It's in the front, Sarah.
Kind of hard to miss.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Hold on.
Alright girls, I'll see you after
school. Have a good day!
So how long have you been going here?
Three years. Ever since
I've lived with the Turners.
And where were you before that?
Ah, touchy subject.
I only want to think about the future.
My life before here, I don't want
to go back there. You understand?
Yeah, I get that.
Hey! What the hell do
you think you're doing?
We're just playing tag.
She's bad at it.
The fuck did you just say?
Chill out. She just a middle schooler.
How is she in middle school?
That's Anessa. She got held back a year.
Has she done this to you before?
And you? You just let it happen?
- How is this my fault?
Look Zoe, if no one's going to stand up
for you, you have to stand up for yourself.
Don't let this bridge
troll push you around.
The next time she lays a finger on you, you
kick her as hard as you can in the knees.
And let the whole school watch her fall.
And that's... that's the last time
she'll ever fuck with you.
Okay, that's enough. I've got it from here.
Right, because you're
doing such a great job.
Come on, Zoe.
Don't listen to her.
If you fight back, it'll
only make it worse.
And you don't want to get taken from mom and dad, do you?
- No
Okay. Then keep your head
down and stay out of trouble.
[COMPUTER BEEPS INCESSENTLY]
[KNOCKING]
Mr. Turner?
What's up, Brittany?
Hey. Um...
Your wife called.
Okay, thanks.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hey, what's going on?
I was just wondering what
your plans are for dinner.
It's Nina's first day of school, so...
SARAH: I thought we could
go out together. As a family.
I don't know, Sarah. Kinda dealing
with an emergency here.
Curtis, it's always an emergency. Can't
you just take a day off?
Babe, I gotta go.-Curtis, wait...
Thanks Mrs. Allen.
Oops, my bad.
First day?
Yeah, I'm actually running late to lunch.
Yeah well, here's a
snack in case you miss it.
Thanks.
I'll catch you around.
You too.
You know it's lunchtime.
Why aren't you hanging
out with your friends?
I could ask you the same.
I'm new!
What's your excuse?
Did you need something?
Oh my God, Alice. Lighten up. I'm just
trying to get to know you.
Don't. We're not
friends. We're not sisters.
We're just strangers that happen to live
under the same roof. That's it.
Dramatic much?
You know, I was gonna
share my apple with you.
Your loss.
Hey, nice iPod. Mind if I borrow it?
Come on, Zoe.
Take it! Take it!
I can't believe my mom forgot to pick me
up from school again, she always does this.
Jeez - want me to walk with you?
Nah I'm fine. I'm used
to walking home alone.
Alright well, get home safe.
- Thanks. You too.
[POP MUSIC PLAYS]
Hey, what the fuck?
What the hell is wrong with you?
[SCREECHING TIRES]
[SCREAMS]
What happened to your elbow?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Still no sign of Nina?
No.
Where the hell were you?
I was looking for a
friend. Why do you care?
Zoey got into another fight.
I wouldn't call it a fight.
You hesitated. You had
your moment and you blew it.
That's on you.
- Hey leave her alone.
Bullies, don't just leave you alone.
You have to make them stop.
Next time, don't hesitate.
Don't listen to her.
No, she's right. I should
have stood up for myself.
[HORN HONKS]
I'm sorry I lost your music thing.
Don't worry about it. I
needed an upgrade anyway.
What happened?
Nothing.
Alice. What's wrong? You haven't
even touched your dinner.
I'm just not hungry.
I'll take it if you're not gonna eat it.
[DOOR SLAMS]
So, what's for dinner?
Ooh, I know that look.
Someone's in trouble.
What?
If you want, I can call Dr. Shann in the morning and schedule you a session.
- No!
I really thought the therapy was working.
It was. It's just...
I have to be able to do this on my own.
Without a therapist. Without you guys.
Alice, everyone needs help every once in a
while. You can't do it all yourself.
There's no shame on letting
your family lend a hand.
Don't say that.
What? That we're you're
family? We're here to help?
You won't always be.
We will. I promise you
we're not going anywhere.
Look around.
All this is as much yours as it is mine.
And like it or not, I'm gonna be in your
life until they put me in the dirt.
And even then I might just come back
and haunt you for kicks.
[ALICE LAUGHS]
I'm really sorry for everything.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
I love you, kiddo. Always remember that.
Curtis, I think there's
something wrong with Nina.
Wrong how?
I don't know. Like, bad vibes? It
just doesn't feel right having her here.
Okay. Anything more
concrete than bad vibes?
You don't believe me?
It's not that. You've always been
a good judge of character.
Maybe sleep on it?
Until you make a final judgement?
Fine.
Thank you.
Bad dream?
What are you doing in my room?
Why are you talking shit about me, Alice?
What are you talking about?
Drop that act. I heard you.
I wasn't talking shit. I'm
just concerned. Alright?
Concerned? I'm trying to make this work.
I don't want to go back.
Go back where?
[KNOCKING]
SARAH: Everything alright in there?
Yeah. I'm fine. Just a bad dream.
Okay. Try and get some sleep.
Okay. Good night.
You fuck this up for me, and I'll make
your life a nightmare. You understand?
Glad we're on the same page.
I know it's supposed to be sad and all,
but I also feel relieved.
That sounds horrible, doesn't it?
No. No.
It's okay.
[DOOR CREAKS]
Nice try. But if this is payback for last
night, you'll need to be more original.
Don't you think it's a little messed up to
make light of a tragedy? A girl lost her life.
You don't seem too torn up about it.
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
All these tears for some
asshole who spent the last few years
terrorizing the school.
You have no idea. She made Zoe's life hell.
I'm... I'm glad she's gone.
[CAMERA SHUTTER]
Stop taking pictures of me.
Or what?
Just stop. Please.
[SCREAMS]
Alice? Is everything all right?
Sorry. I have to go.
Alice!
Thanks for picking up the kids, Karen,
but I've got it from here.
Oh, nonsense. I love
spending time with the kids.
Get... get... get that away from me.
And besides, my assistant is bringing
some documents here,
so I'll be out of your hair soon enough.
Hey. Are you feeling better?
I'm fine, Sarah.
[DOORBELL]
Oh, that must be my assistant now. Alice,
do me a favor and get the door.
[DOORBELL]
Hold on! I'm coming!
What are you doing here?
Nina, didn't tell you?
Oh, hey guys! These are my guests. We
have a project due by the end of the week.
Thought we'd get a jump
start on it. Come on in.
Wow. Nice place.
Um, if this is gonna be a problem, we
can just do it at my house.
Don't be ridiculous. There's enough space
for all of us here. Isn't that right, Alice?
Whatever.
We're gonna be in the
pool if you wanna join us!
[DOOR SLAMS]
Or not.
Uh, excuse me?
Is Karen here?
KAREN: Brittany, is that you?
[LAUGHTER]
[KNOCKING]
What?
Are you coming outside?
No!
Is everything okay?
It's just been a rough week.
Well, if you change your mind,
you should come outside.
[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
Cannonball!
Come on, you two! The water's great!
Hey, watch it!
Alex isn't usually this annoying. He's
just trying to impress you.
Oh yeah? He's kinda cute.
No. Gross.
What's the deal with you and Alice?
There's no deal.
Bullshit. I saw the way you two looked at each
other back there. There's obviously some history.
It's... complicated.
I can handle complicated.
RILEY: We used to be friends.
At least, I thought we were...
See ya!
Need a ride?
Nah, I'm gonna run.
Suit yourself.
[COOL ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS]
Holy shit!
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
Hello?
[TWIGS SNAPPING]
[THUD]
[GROANING]
What the hell, you crazy bitch?
I never did like you.
[PHONE RINGS]
SARAH: Hello?
SARAH: No, of course.
SARAH: No, I was up.
SARAH: No.
SARAH: I'm sure.
SARAH: No...
SARAH: No, I haven't seen her.
She was, but she left last night.
SARAH: I'm sure.
SARAH: That's right.
Hey, I need to talk to you.
Come on.
NINA: Amber's accident, Angel's suicide,
and now Riley? Don't you see a pattern?
ALEX: And you're saying your
perfect straight-A sister is
the mastermind behind
all these mysterious deaths?
Behind Riley's disappearance?
Riley's dead, Alex. I know because Alice
did it. And she wants me to know she did.
But that's crazy!
I know. Fucking bat shit crazy.
And she sleeps across the hall from me.
Maybe it's all a coincidence. Nina, you're
accusing your sister of murder.
It's not a coincidence. Alice pretends like she
doesn't care about anything. Like she's above it all.
But everything in that
house is manipulated by her.
Nina, this is not your fault.
This isn't on you.
I'm sorry!
- Don't be.
It's nice to have someone
by my side for a change.
I'm not going anywhere.
[KNOCKING]
Yeah?
Hey, Nina. You hungry? We're gonna go out
for dinner if you want to come.
I don't know. I'm not really hungry.
You too, huh? It's the same
line Alice gave me.
I guess you can keep
each other company tonight.
Actually, I'll tag along.
Great!
Can I get an ice cream now?
You just had two cokes.
You don't need ice cream.
But I want it.
You heard her. She wants it.
Fine.
Hey, wait up.
Kids I tell ya.
NINA: So, why did you two want
to become foster parents?
Well, I always wanted a big family,
but there were complications.
CURTIS: It just wasn't in the cards.
Then Alice came into our lives,
and it just felt right.
What's her story?
Why are you so interested in Alice?
I'm just trying to get to know her better.
CURTIS: She had it rough growing up.
Her mother and father
passed when she was younger.
Both of them?
It was a murder-suicide.
Oh my God.
While Alice was in the house.
Alice didn't see it, thank God.
And then there were the Parkers.
The Parkers?
They were the family that
adopted Alice before we did.
But there was an accident.
It wasn't an accident. They were murdered.
Two men broke in the house and robbed them
while Alice hid upstairs in the closet.
Look, Alice has already lost
everything twice over.
I don't want that to happen again.
BRANDON: Out of all the flavors,
you chose mint?
ZOEY: Obviously.
That's the worst flavor
BRANDON: I don't want my gum, my mouthwash,
and my toothpaste to taste like ice cream.
That's disgusting.
ZOEY: At least you can skip
brushing your teeth.
You haven't been brushing your teeth?
CURTIS: They don't even brush
their teeth?
SARAH: No, you still
have to brush your teeth.
ZOEY: I think I messed up.
[LAUGHTER]
[ENGINE CLICKS]
Oh, shit!
Hey, Alice.
Hey, Alex.
Want to give me a ride?
Uh, sorry, I gotta go pick up
something from the gym.
Come on.
Sorry, I really gotta go.
[KEYS JINGLE]
Come on, Alice.
Come and get them!
- Are you really gonna play this game with me?
I saw you in the library with Nina.
Just give me the keys.
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
Alice: Fucking bitch!
[GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
[IDLE BACKGROUND CHATTER]
CURTIS: Hey. It's really nice to have you
with us tonight, Nina.
Yeah, I had fun.
Well rest up. We'll see you in the morning.
Goodnight.
Oh! Shit, Alice!
Why are you so jumppy?
- I'm not jumpy!
Whatever you say...
Come on, Alex!
Alex?
Alex, where are you?
Alex?
You gotta be kidding me.
[MESSAGE NOTIFICATION SOUND]
Alex?
Alex? Alex?
Can you hear me? Alex?
There were some text messages on Nina's phone.
Did you know that they had planned to meet up?
She's just a kid. I can't believe she'd
be involved in anything like this.
She's a foster child. Do you know
anything about her past?
Come on. You know what? It doesn't matter
who she was before she came to live with us.
I think that's about
enough tonight, detective.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
Get in the car.
What in God's name are you doing out here
in the middle of the night?
You wouldn't understand.
Then help us understand, Nina.
So you snuck out in the middle of the night
to meet a boy. It's not that big a deal. I
used to do it all the time when I was your age.
We just don't know how he wound up dead.
I already told you. I don't know.
Well, if he did something to you
and you fought back...
I didn't kill him!
Okay?
Sorry.
We're talking about this more at home.
Unbelievable.
ALICE: Everything all right?
Yeah, sweetheart.
You didn't have to stay up.
Why don't you just go back to bed. School's
gonna be canceled tomorrow.
Canceled? Why?
Well, if it isn't the drama
queen. You really crave attention.
You bitch! You did this!
CURTIS: Nina!
ALICE: I don't know
what she's talking about.
She's lying!
Ask her where she was last night.
Nina, that's enough. Go to your room.
Now! Go!
Sorry.

Hello?
DETECTIVE: Hi, Mrs. Turner.
It's detective Harris.
I hope I didn't wake you.
No, I was up.
Well, something has come to our attention
regarding your daughter.
It would be best if discussed in person.
Could you and your husband come
down to the station today?
Yes, of course.
We'll be there.
What was that about?
SARAH: [SIGHS]
CURTIS: Mom, thanks for coming.
Yeah, well, what are mothers for?
SARAH: We won't be long.
KAREN: And you're sure it's safe for her to
be here around the other children... with me?
She's just a teenage girl. Whatever's going
on, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.
Or maybe she's just a bad apple. I mean, no
one would blame you if you sent her packing.
CURTIS: We'll sort it out later, Mom.
KAREN: Uh huh.
It's always something.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
NINA; Miss Anderson, it's me.
Nina.
This better be good. I just sat
down for a glass of wine.
You need to come pick me up.
MISS ANDERSON: I thought we agreed
you'd give this a chance.
I gave it a shot. Now come get me.
Where are you going?
I'll call you back.
Is everything okay?
I'll just... I'll call you back.
Nina. Nina?
Are you leaving?
It's not safe for me here.
What about me? Is it safe for me?
As long as Alice is here, no one is safe.
What do you mean? What's wrong with Alice?
[PUNCHING IN CODE]
[OPENING SAFE DOOR]
[RUMMAGING]
Alice, what are you doing sneaking around?
You have no idea how
long I've been waiting for this.
DETECTIVE: Thank you both for coming in.
On the phone you said you wanted
to talk to us about Nina.
Nina has been with six different families
over the last four years.
And in each case she had to be
removed from those homes.
What for?
You name it.
Theft, drugs, assault.
CURTIS: My God.
She nearly blinded a boy at the last foster
family she was staying with.
Nina did that?
Apparently the boy tried
to force himself on Nina.
DETECTIVE: And well, obviously,
she defended herself.
This is insane.
So either Nina is just extraordinarily unlucky, in
the wrong place, at the wrong time, all the time...
Or she just has a knack
for attracting trouble.
ZOEY: So what don't you
like about it here?
I lived with some really bad people.
People who would hurt me... and worse.
The Turners, they're nothing like them.
They're good people, Zoe.
They're just... gullible.
They can't see Alice for who she really is.
What if you're wrong about Alice? She's
always been nice to me.
I'm not.
So you're just gonna run away and leave us?
If I stay here, it's only gonna get worse.
For all of us.
What happens to all of
us if you're right about her?
I found it.
[CLANKING]
Oh shit!
Brandon, stop!
[THWAK]
[FLESH TEARING]
[SPLASH]
Did you hear that?
Oh shit, it's happening.
Zoey, go to your room
and lock the door now.
Why? What's going on?
- Just go!
Brandon!
What happened?
What the...
What did you do?!
Looks like it's just the two of us, Nina.
Stay the fuck back!
[DOORBELL]
Let me get that.
No!
You mother fucker!
Please, you have to help me!
She just killed my brother and now
she's trying to kill me!
What in the hell are you talking about?
Get away from her, you bitch!
Nina, what the fuck?!
Get away from her, she's dangerous!
Don't let her get me!
Don't listen to her, she's crazy!
Alright, alright, how about you drop the hammer,
we'll call the police and let them sort it out.
Fine!
You girls stay right here. You do not
move, you hear me? Do not move.
Uh, hi, I'm Brittany.
I brought the reports that Karen needs.
I'm sorry, Brittany, we're kind of in
the middle of something right now.
Wait, wait.
She said that it's very important
that I hand them to her.
Who's Karen?
My grandmother, she's not here.
Her car's in the driveway.
Where is she, Alice?
What did you do to her?!
Explain!
What?! You seriously don't believe her!
You might fool some of us with that
act, you're not fooling me.
You know what, I'm gonna call the police
and let them figure this out.
[CRASH]
What are you waiting for, sis?
Kill her.
My pleasure.
[STABS]
Thought you had won.
Didn't you?
[PUNCH]
[THUD]
[HORROR MOVIE PLAYING

Hey!
Consider it rent.
Aren't you a little...
old to be playing dress up?
Isn't it a little emasculating to let a
woman buy all your drinks?
While you just sit on your ass.

[MUSIC BLARING FROM UPSTAIRS]
You know, if you're gonna
have a smart mouth
You might as well put it
to use.[UNZIPS PANTS]
No. No. No. No.
No. No. Please.
- Come on.
- - Please. Please. No. No!
Stop fighting.
No. No. No.
[GUNSHOT]
Alice.
Put the gun down. Put it down.
[SOBBING] It's okay.
It's okay.
What? What did you do?
What the fuck did you do?
You bitch!
You're a little bitch, bitch!
See what you did??
Why?? I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
You little bitch!
[THUD]
It's okay.
It's okay.
Listen.
I want you to go downstairs, okay?
I'm gonna fix this.
Just go.
Bitch.
She's not going anywhere.
Just let her stay here
and burn with the others.
We gotta get moving.
It's showtime.
Alice was right about Nina.
I mean, ever since she stepped
foot in our house,
everything's just felt... off.
We don't know the whole story.
Well, we know enough.
She was the last person
to see that Alex boy alive.
She was hanging out with Riley
before she went missing.
We supposed to just think these
were all coincidences?
Doesn't it worry you in the slightest that
we've opened our house to a complete stranger?
She's not a monster, Curtis.
We can't just jump to conclusions before we
hear her side of the story.
Hey there, sleepy head.
You??
Why are you doing this?
I mean, what do you want with me?
Isn't it obvious?
We want what's in there.
Yeah, well, go ahead and kill me.
Cause I'm not giving you shit.
Don't worry, you will soon.
For now, you can give
us some peace and quiet.
ALICE: What?
[THUMP]
I know you're in here.
[SNIFFS]
I smell you.
BRITTANY: Where the fuck are you at?
They're here!
Coming!
[SIZZLING]
[MUFFLED CRIES]
Alice.
What are you doing? You're up.
Yeah, I've got this.
Oh my God, Alice, your eye.
What happened?
This?
Oh, it's nothing.
That is not nothing.
You need to put ice on that.
Sarah, I'm fine.
Didn't Nina do that to you?
Nina? What?
No, it was just... Zoe.
She accidentally elbowed me in the face.
Please don't make this a big deal.
Where is everyone?
Oh, they're in the garage.
What? Why?
It's a surprise.
Come on, you'll like it.
Okay...
Mom!
Curtis!
Please help, there's an intruder!
[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
[SLAP]
[SCREAMING]
You fucking bitch!
[TAZER BUZZING]
Took you long enough.
Hey, I'm not the one who got overpowered
by a soccer mom.
She called the cops.
Still ringing.
Sarah!
Jesus Christ, Alice!
Why are you doing this?
We're your family!
[LAUGHTER] Family?
I'm her only family.
You're just a mark.
And a super gullible one at that.
You know, you really should be careful who
you let into your life, Curtis.
I mean, you and your desperate, barren wife
practically rolled out the red carpet for Alice.
Alice.
It doesn't have to be like this.
I love you.
If she's making you do this, she doesn't
really care about you.
Well, isn't it just father
of the fucking year?
Fuck you!
Hey, Curtis.
Why don't you save your breath?
You won't be breathing much longer.
[grunting]
- Sorry, Curtis.
But I've already tried to fucking tell you!
My future just doesn't involve you.
It's nothing personal.
Nothing personal?
You're my daughter!
I would have given you everything!
Oh, Curtis. We don't want your everything.
We want more.
Do you want to tell him?
Or should I?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know?
Then what the fuck is this?!
I told you he didn't know!
Wow, you're even more
gullible than I thought.
[KNOCKING]
Is it safe now?
No, but I need your help.
Mom, what the hell is that?
It's a safe.
I know it's a fucking safe!
What's inside?
Yeah, Karen.
We all want to know what's in the safe.
Oh, okay.
Well, if that's how you want to play it.
Stupid fucking psycho!
Before you judge me and my family...
Take a cold hard look at your own.
This is gonna be fun.
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
KAREN: No, stop!
Stop it now!
Stop!
BRITTANY: The code, bitch!
You let him go and I'll give you the code.
[LAUGHTER]
2666! Now let him go!
Please, you've got what you want,
now let him go, please.
Please let him go.
BRITTANY: Breathe Curtis!
[GASPING]
[CHOKING]
[TYPING IN SAFE CODE]
[RUMMAGING]
BRITTANY: I told you it'd be worth it.
Curtis I'm so sorry.
CURTIS: Alice... please...
[LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
The fuck is that?
I told you she'd be a pain in the ass.
You take care of her.
I'm gonna get cleaned up.
CURTIS: Alice, please!
[LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Motherfucker!
Fucking bitch!
Okay, I need you to run.
I need you to go to the neighbor's
house and call the police.
I'm not leaving you!
Zoey, I'm only gonna slow you down.
You're one shot at this.
Go!
Zoey, stop!
[THWAK]
Going somewhere?
Please, Nina.
You might pretend to be tough,
but do you really think you stand a chance
with me?
[THWAK]
At least I'm standing!
So, this is the better life you have
planned for Alice, huh?
Being a murdering, thieving piece of shit!
We're the thieves?
Well, why don't you ask Mommy where
all the money came from?
All of the mysterious trades
in the retirement fund?
The missing money?
All of it.
Your mom's the biggest crook in the room.
Not us.
Mom?
What is she talking about?
Mom!
Curtis, I'm so, so sorry.
God damn it, Mom!
You really think you're
gonna get away with it?
Wouldn't be the first time.
Really?
CURTIS: Burn in hell for this.
You first.
Sorry to ruin your plans.
You haven't ruined anything.
In fact, this works out even better.
You're gonna take the fall for all of this.
No one's gonna believe that story.
They'll believe whatever I tell them.
By now, Zoey's at the neighbor's house.
The police are on their way.
It's over.
Then I guess when I'm done with you,
I'll have to pay the neighbors
a little visit, won't I?
You know, ever since you got here,
I just wanted to come into your
room, slit your throat,
watch your stupid little face bleed out.
But this?
This is even better.
[THUMP]
Zoey!
Alice?
Alice?!
Are you okay?
Zoey, I told you to run.
I couldn't just let her kill you.
Well. What do we have here?
Alice?
No!
You're done, bitch!
Run!
You heard her! Run!
Fuck it!
You ruined everything!
[SCREAMING]
[GUNSHOT]
Zoey...
Help them first. Please.
POLICE RADIO: We have multiple casualties.
One suspect unaccounted for.
Damn, what the fuck?
Babe is that you?
