Dark Frequency (2025) Movie Script
[ Water running in sink ]
Angela: I can go out wherever the
hell I want, whenever the hell I want.
Angela: With whoever the hell I want.
ANGELA: Do you hear
me? You don't control me!
RANDY: No one's trying
to control you, Angela.
But this isn't fair to me. And
more importantly it isn't fair to Mary.
When was the last time you
even spent any time with her?
When's the last time
you spent time with her?
This morning. Before I went to work.
Oh, wow. 15-20 minutes?
That's real quality time.
That's more than you do. And you
don't have a job, so what's your excuse?
You asked me to stay home with her!
You don't get to throw that in my face!
I asked you to stay at home
to take care of our daughter.
Not to sit around all day drinking
and going out with your friends.
What I do is my business.
I think you need to leave, Angela.
Oh. You want me to leave?
[ Ominous music ]
Put the knife down.
MARY: Dad?
Go lock yourself in your
room and call the police.
You want the police out here? You
remember who they arrested last time.
Randy: Angela!
Angela: Don't... move.
Don't take another step.
You don't get to do this to me. You
begged me for her. You asked me for her.
You remember that?!
Angela, put the knife down, now.
No! You should've let me get
rid of her when I wanted to.
Then we wouldn't be here, now.
You want her? Then you can have her.
Don't come after me. Otherwise
I promise you I will finish this!
Mom, why?
Don't ever call me that again.
[ Mary crying ]
[ Ominous music continues ]
[ Water running in sink ]
[ Grunting in pain ]
[ Knocking ] Mary.
[ Knocking ] Randy:
Mary? You in the shower?
We need to talk. Okay?
Mary? Mary!
[ Randy slamming into
door ] Randy: Mary! Mary!
[ Door slams open ]
Mary? Oh, no. Mary. Oh, no.
Mary!
"Grenades" by Serafina
[ moody pop music ]
"Stare out my window"
"Smoke in my eyes"
"Where does my wind blow?"
"I will decide."
"Said I will decide."
"Said I will decide."
"And you stand on the moon
while I'm lost out in space."
"And you enjoy the pain
while I numb it away."
"Nothing makes you afraid.
Don't know that I'm so brave."
"But there's no one to blame so
I'd best not be throwin' grenades."
You guys in lockdown?
CARISSA: The other girls are on a
day trip. They'll be back around 7.
I thought Mary might want to get acclimated
to the space before she met everyone.
That is a little less awkward.
You can leave your bags here for
now, I'll need to check them, anyway.
But let me show you your
room and give you a tour.
"Baby, look at the table."
"Tell me what do you bring?"
Mary: Let me guess, this is my bed?
Carissa: That is correct. Although
today you're on arm's length.
So you'll be out in the living room
for the night with one of the staff.
What's arm's length, again?
You have to be within arm's length,
more or less, of staff at all times.
Except in the bathroom. And then
you have to keep the door open a crack.
And sing, hum, make
noise. [ Pensive music ]
It's a... it's a safety
precaution. Mary: Great.
And if all goes well you'll move to
Level 1 and you'll be in here with Colette.
She's a bit of a character but she's
really helpful with the other young ladies.
Carissa: So, you're with her for a reason.
Let me show you the rest of the house.
[ Emotional music ]
Guess I can't run away, now.
You didn't see the broken glass
spread around out there? Or the moat?
You know I think this is
the best thing for you, right?
Yeah. And for your job.
You don't have to worry about
keeping an eye on me, now.
That's not fair. Mary: It's true.
Would you rather be in a hospital?
I'd rather be at home. With my Dad.
And you will be. Soon. I'm...
Randy: I'm going to be ready to...
Randy: To be everything you
need me to be when this is over.
Randy: That's a promise.
I love you, baby.
I'm sorry.
For everything.
[ Emotional music ]
Marco.
Polo.
Carissa: Marco.
Would you rather sing Happy Birthday?
Polo.
And... Marco.
[ Toilet flushes loudly ]
The first day or two you
might feel like a prisoner, but...
Carissa: It's just policy
to feel you out. Make
sure you're not a threat
to yourself or anyone else.
It gets better.
Can we take a walk?
Just around the grounds?
I really shouldn't do that
without more staff here.
You have my shoes. And you would
catch me if I tried to run, anyway.
I like walking, but I'm not a runner.
Well...
If you get away from me without
your shoes, I deserve to be fired.
Carissa: Let's go.
[ Ominous, ambient drone ]
[ Ominous, ambient drone fades out ]
[ Mysterious, hopeful music ]
COLETTE: Hey Carissa,
is this my new roommate?
Carissa: Yes.
Hi, Colette. I'm Mary. Hey Mary.
Carissa: I'll introduce you to
everyone once they're in and seated.
Colette: And I'll give you the real
rundown of everything tomorrow.
AURORA: Why are you in here? We in trouble?
Carissa: What? OLIVIA:
Obviously, we have a new kid.
Aurora: I have eyes, thanks,
but that doesn't mean that-
KRISTIN: You probably are in
trouble. But that's not why she's in here.
Alright ladies, I'd like
everyone to say hello to Mary.
Colette: Hey Mary. Everyone else: Hi Mary.
Hi.
We all bring different
personalities, unique perspectives.
Lots of different backgrounds and
goals. But... we're all here to heal.
Carissa: To learn skills to help
us to navigate this messy world-
Carissa: - and the messy emotions we bring
into it. And the best way to do that is-
Is together.
Yes.
Carissa: And Mary's a part of our group
now, so let's all make her feel welcome.
Okay?
[ Something bangs on window, shuffles ]
[ Suspenseful, eerie music ]
[ loud bang on door ]
[ Bang on door ]
TARA: [laughs] It's... bats.
Tara: They do that sometimes when
the motion lights aren't on outside.
[ Wings fluttering, bats chittering ]
[ Door closes and locks ]
The motion lights work that well, huh?
They do but only on
bigger creatures like, uh...
One of you trying to escape. Or bears.
Bears?
You won't see any, don't worry.
Tara: They wander
around late at night. That's
why we have to be careful with the garbage.
Good to know. Thanks.
Tara. Right?
Yep. You're welcome.
Where's the other lady?
Jill? Uh, asleep in Carissa's office.
Tara: Unlike me, she can't
sleep during the day so...
She needs it.
What do you do all night?
Read. Work on reports.
Read. [ Laughs ]
Tara: Although... even though...
everyone's supposed to
be asleep after light's out.
I'm here to talk if I'm needed.
Me too. If you get tired of reading.
[ Mellow music ]
EMMA: "Say what you want and
I'll promise I'll believe it's true."
Emma: "Take me back to
where my heart was able."
New girl. Leave your basket
and I'll take care of it next.
That's against the rules.
Colette might be your roommate but
on laundry day she's ruthless, trust me.
Thank you but I'm...
I'm kind of weird about other
people touching my dirty clothes.
Okay. Whatever.
Maybe just... could you tell
me when the washer's done?
If I see you, sure.
You have a great voice, by the way.
[ Thoughtful music ]
Hurry up.
Hey, thanks for-Emma: Are you serious?
You really couldn't wait
for me to get down here?
What?
After I tried to be nice to you,
you throw my clothes on the floor.
I swear, I didn't. I haven't even
been back, I was in the bathroom.
Oh yeah, because someone
else just put your clothes
in the dryer and didn't
load theirs into the washer?
[ Pensive music ] You think I'm that dumb?
[ Pleasant, hopeful music ]
[ Talking, muffled ]
[ Muffled talking ]
[ Excited scream, muffled talking ]
[ Baby goats bleeting ]
[ Baby goats bleeting,
Emma mocking and laughing ]
[ Muffled talking, horse snorts ]
[ Ethereal, peaceful music ]
[ Door opens and closes in distance ]
You're taking a risk.
I know. But that's one rule
that shouldn't apply to everyone.
Colette: If you can be neat, you should
be allowed to have drinks in your room.
You doing alright?
I guess. I just need to get
used to everything. Everyone.
You've only been here a week. Give it two.
Colette: Maybe three. You'll get there.
I almost feel like I need therapy
from being here. Sometimes.
I know what you mean.
But what you do with this experience will
make all the difference when you get home.
Colette: It could be worse.
Um. Before this I was in a psych unit.
At a hospital. And.
This is like a 5 star
resort compared to that.
How'd you end up in there?
Um, one of my best friends, um...
Had serious mental health issues.
Colette: And I tried to
talk her out of it but...
She killed herself. Um.
Right on the phone.
Sorry.
I had trouble coping after that, and...
A few months after she died...
Um. I almost killed myself.
Colette: They sent me to a hospital first.
There was no freedom there. Like,
at all. And the staff was just nasty.
Um, thank God my
sister got me out of there.
Colette: Then, I was at a wilderness
camp for a while which was...
Colette: Interesting.
Colette: And... This is my last stop.
Hopefully.
Colette: I know it's um...
tough, sometimes, but...
Oh.
Sorry. They um, they
really care about you here.
They really want what's best for
you, so... try to keep that in mind.
I will.
Colette.
[ Somber music ]
Seriously?
[ Tense music ]
[ Static, radio interference ]
Angela: You should've let me
get rid of her when I wanted to.
Then, we wouldn't be here, now.
Mom, no!
Whoah.
I'm sorry. Emma: You're sleepwalking.
They usually tell us when
there's a sleepwalker.
I - I'm not. I, I don't.
Yes, you do. This isn't the first
time I've seen you wandering at night.
Go back to bed.
[ Suspenseful buildup music and fade out ]
Kristin: Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
Kristin: Five. Four. Three. Two. One.
Okay. Get some water
and take five. Great job girls.
[ High pitched noise ] Colette:
Can I run to the bathroom?
Kristin: Yeah, go ahead.
I'll be right back.
[ High pitched noise slowly fades out ]
Don't listen to them.
What? To who? The voices.
Cut it out, Aurora.
I don't hear voices.
I hope not. That's
how it started with Kylie.
Who's Kylie? She stayed
here about six months ago.
Aurora was doing her first round
back then and I was just starting.
First round? Don't make it sound bad, Liv.
After Kylie killed herself
my parents signed me out.
And they sent you back, after
all. What does that say about you?
Aurora: That you shouldn't mess with me.
Kristin: Hands to yourselves, girls.
Kylie killed herself, here?
Sort of. They kicked her out after
she attacked one of the other girls.
She ran away from home that
night and then killed herself.
Out there, somewhere.
We don't know that for sure.
I was here.
Aurora: The cops and
an ambulance were out by
the road. When my parents
came they had to wait.
They saw her body being taken out.
Yeah, right. You think
because you're here for
the second time and you
happened to know her-
that you're unique or interesting?
Well, we can't all be as interesting as
you. My Daddy didn't like me like that.
[ Aurora grunts, Emma shrieks ]
Kristin: Stop it, right now! Emma:
Don't you ever touch me again!
Aurora: You should've
said that to him, not me.
Emma: You're dead! You're dead!
Stop that! Get back in the house, now!
What I miss?
Olivia: The usual.
Kristin: Get Mary, please.
[ Suspenseful music ]
You okay?
Yeah.
We're going inside, now. Okay.
What the hell are we doing, now?
Aurora, you must enjoy being on Level 2.
I'm Level 3.
The day's not over.
If I go down, Emma better-Emma:
You started it out there, you-
You're doing this in front of me. Really?
Okay. So these are your power masks.
What are we, eight? [ Inspiring music ]
Eight year olds know
better than to talk out of turn.
Carissa: So, sometimes we
need to step outside of ourselves.
In order to have a different perspective.
As you've been learning.
But also, some of us are
uncomfortable in our own skin.
We lack confidence.
We don't like to be front and center, we
don't like to draw attention to ourselves.
Kristin: And there's nothing
wrong with that necessarily.
But when it prevents us from standing
up for ourselves or speaking out...
Carissa: Then, it can be a problem.
So instead of actually
hiding, as we sometimes do...
Carissa: We can create a healthy alter ego.
Carissa: A mask that reminds
ourselves and those around us...
Carissa: of what makes us
great. What makes us unique.
So, with this.
Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday after group.
Carissa: You're going to be
working on your own power masks.
Carissa: Design them however you
want. There's plenty of materials to use.
Use words. Use colors. Use pictures.
Carissa: Anything you want
to represent who you are.
Carissa: We'll be doing
a couple layers so...
Carissa: Take your time
with it and have fun. Okay?
Okay. Come up to the island
and take what you want.
But share.
Everyone gets to spend ten
minutes with each magazine.
[ Peaceful music fades out ]
This is kind of lame.
Kind of. But it'll be fun. [ Laughs ]
DEMONIC VOICE: Mary.
JILL: Are you okay, Mary?
Yeah, I was just dreaming.
I wasn't loud was I?
No, I'm just doing a head count.
Was your dream something
you want to talk about?
No, I still am just getting used
to being out here. But thanks.
Okay. You should go
back to sleep, it's almost 3.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Okay. Just don't be long.
[ loud static, distant hum ]
[ Eerie music, distant voices ]
[ Music and voices fade out ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Knock at door ]
Jill: Mary?
Jill: Say something.
Yes.
You were washing your
hands for a long time.
Then you didn't respond.
I'm sorry, I must've fallen asleep.
It's fine, but... are you okay?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
She looks like she could go
for some ice cream right now.
I'm still a Level 1.
That's a Level 3 privilege.
At this time of night, you're
whatever level we say you are.
[ Hopeful, emotional music ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Mellow music ]
Good morning. Mary: Morning.
Who was in the bathroom, last?
New girl. Why?
The sink was a mess and
the toilet wasn't flushed.
I didn't even use the
bathroom, I just brushed-
Emma: I don't know what you did at home.
But you've been here long
enough to know the rules by
now. You don't leave messes
for other people to clean up.
GARDYN: Alright, Emma.
GARDYN: If that happened
you can come talk to
one of us or speak to
Mary about it privately.
I was already running late this morning
when I had to take
extra time out of my way-
to clean up after her.
There was hair all over the sink.
Colette: Hey, get off her back!
Kristin: That's enough. You can discuss
it later in a group. The proper way.
Fine.
Just don't do it again.
And I better earn points.
[ Scoffs ] For what? Being a brat?
Aurora: Because you had to sweep
a little hair off the sink? Grow up.
[ Emma spits, Olivia gasps ]
Olivia: What is wrong with you guys?
Gardyn: Hey! [ High-pitched noise ]
Gardyn: Hey! [ Grunts, Colette yelps ]
Kristin: Sit down, now! Or
you will be OIC. Right now!
[ High-pitched noise ]
[ Mary hyperventilating ]
[ Knock at door ]
Mary. Can I come in, please?
M-hm.
Tara: Here. I'm going to put
this in your hand. Hold on tight.
Focus on how it feels on your skin.
Tara: Focus on the cold.
How can I focus on anything else?
[ Breathing steadies ]
That worked. Tara: Yeah.
It provides a shock to the system and
gives you something tangible to focus on.
Why are you still here?
I was on my way out when
I heard what was going on.
I told Kristin I'd check in on you.
Thank you.
That's what I'm here for.
[ Knock at door ]
Thank you, Tara.
Mary, I'm taking the girls on
a walk after breakfast. Okay?
Shouldn't we give her a few more
minutes? I don't mind sticking around.
It's in 15 minutes and I've
got some things to address, so...
Carissa: Most of you have
been here long enough to know
that we have certain ways
of dealing with conflict.
And that there are other ways that are
completely unacceptable
like violence or yelling.
I'm sorry.
I know you are. And that's why I
don't want to assign any consequences.
Carissa: Not even after what just happened.
I'd rather we just...
[ high-pitched noise ]
Carissa: Move on and promise to do better.
Carissa: What are you
doing? Aurora: She pushed me.
Colette: Hey, it was an accident.
Olivia: She tripped, genius.
You watch it. I'm getting tired of you
thinking you're better than the rest of us.
The rest? No, just you. [ Colette laughs ]
Olivia: As long as you've been here,
you should've gone home months ago.
But that's not happening now, is it?
What the hell did you say?
You heard me. No one
even-Carissa: Hey, girls!
[ High-pitched noise,
voices ] Aurora: Really, Olivia
can just talk to me like
that? Emma can spit on me?
And I'm the one that gets in trouble?
You know what? I'm done with this.
Colette: Mary, wait! Carissa: Girls, stop.
[ Energetic hip hop music ]
Hey! Colette: I'm going after Mary!
Uh. Okay.
Olivia: Do you want me to go after Emma?
Carissa: No, just go back to the house.
Carissa: Tell them that she's headed west.
Okay.
[ laughs ]
Aurora!
Carissa: Aurora! Leave me alone.
Stop!
Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
DRIVER: You okay, Miss? Yes.
Can you give me a ride to
the nearest gas station, please?
And, do you have a phone?
DRIVER: Yeah. Yeah, hop in the back.
Driver: Just don't mind my daughter.
[ Calming music ]
Sup?
SHANIA: Hey.
Thank God.
Gardyn (on phone): Hey booo.
What? How?
My husband and daughter
were coming to drop off lunch.
Gardyn: I told them to keep
an eye out for you on their way.
Hey, you're lucky we got
to you before the bears did.
Very lucky.
Couldn't you just run me over?
[ laughs ]
[ Screams ]
I can't outrun you but you're
not making me go back.
That's fine. But wherever
you go, I'm coming.
You've got other girls you
can actually help, okay?
Spend your time on
them, don't waste it on me.
It's not a waste.
Kristin told me that you
brought up Kylie earlier.
I do not want something
like that happening to you.
Why? Because you get less money
if we don't finish your program?
Aurora. Do you enjoy
making people feel bad?
Carissa: Is that why you'd
say something like that to me?
Or why you'd bring up her
past to a victim of terrible abuse?
Like it's something that
she should be ashamed of?
I know it's not right.
So like I said, let me go.
Carissa: No.
You can be whatever you want
to be as a person. This isn't it.
You know that.
I do. But... I haven't
changed all this time.
What's the point? [ Emotional music ]
You just can't see what I've seen.
Carissa: Or your parents.
Carissa: Slow and steady wins the race.
And I mean... sometimes you run backwards.
[ Both laugh ] Carissa: But...
But you are making progress. And
I'll be here every step of the way.
All of us will.
I'm not ready to go back.
Then, we won't go back.
Not yet.
[ Emotional music fades out]Mary?
Mary?
[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]
It happened here.
This is where Kylie killed herself.
Colette: Do you hear something like static?
Yes.
We need to get back, now, okay?
[ Throws up ]
What's wrong?
I don't - I don't feel
well all of a sudden.
Mary: We getting in trouble?
Colette: Us? No. The others - definitely.
[ Calming, hopeful music ]
[ Typing on keyboard ]
[ Rhythmic knocking on door ]
Hey, what's up Colette?
Um, nothing. Kristin said I could
have my phone for free time.
Sure. [ Clears throat ]
Thank you. Carissa: M-hm.
[ Ominous, ambient music ]
'One of our exercises this week was
to create something to depict emotions.
'Mine was fear.
'I started out drawing a door. The one
my brother would come to every night.
'But then I saw something behind the door.
'The same thing I've seen in
my dreams since I came here.
'I hear it when I leave the sink
running too long or when the heat is on.'
It's the statue.
Again?
I really can't be sneaking
you in for ice cream again, yet.
But... do you want anything?
Tara: Do you need to talk?
Okay.
Let us know if you change your
mind. We're here. You know that.
The attic is in the basement
under the flower outside the window.
What?
[ Dark, ambient music ]
[ Car horn blares, tires screeching ]
[ Turn signal clicking ]
[ Eerie, unsettling music ]
[Mary screams ]
[Mary crying and hyperventilating ]
Olivia: Mary?
Mary, what's going on?
Tara: What's wrong, Mary? Breathe. Breathe.
Get back to your rooms, girls.
Jill: What happened?
Fill up a bucket with ice water. Now!
Do you need help?
Tara: Yeah, grab her arm.
Everyone else back to your rooms.
Hold it steady. [ Mary crying ]
Deep breath, Mary. Deep breath.
[ Mary screaming under water ]
Tara: Up.
Tara: Deep breath, Mary. And, hold
it. [ Mary crying, gasping for air ]
Okay.
Tara: In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
Just breathe. Okay?
You couldn't have just
started with the ice pack?
[ Sinister, ambient music ]
Cole. Your roommate just spazzed
out and woke the entire house.
You really just slept through that?
Classic.
[ Music fades out ]
[ Spits ] Can I help you?
Just making sure you're not picking
up any bad habits from your roommate.
Okay, Emma.
Bye. Emma: Wait.
Did you sneak something in?
What do you mean?
Mary was screaming her head off
last night and you slept right through it.
I was tired.
I tried to wake you, I shook you.
Okay. Your point?
If you're taking something I want in.
[ Sighs ] Just my tea before I go to bed.
Colette: You're welcome
to try some if you want.
Maybe I will.
[ Haunting, menacing music ]
[ Voices ]
[ Knocking ]
Hey.
How're you feeling this morning?
Fine. A little tired but
that's not a surprise.
No, it's not.
If you need to take a
nap today, just ask Kristin.
Jill: Carissa will let you lay down
in her office if you really need it.
And, I'd say you qualify after last night.
Thank you.
See you later, Mary.
[ Ominous, haunting music ]
Hey, Jill.
Yes?
I uh... [ pensive music ]
I probably kept you
up last night, too. Just...
Be careful getting home. I
hope you don't drive too far.
Goodnight, Jill. Jill: Good morning, Rory.
It's a half an hour drive but
trust me last night was nothing.
Jill: Imagine going out into the woods
looking for a runaway at 3 in the morning.
I appreciate the concern, though.
Seeya.
Carissa: Gardyn, could I...
can I talk to you for a second?
Yes, ma'am.
[ Haunting, somber music ]
What?
Um.
I need a minute. Carissa: That's fine.
Um...
Carissa: I'm really, really sorry
to have to tell you girls this, but...
Jill passed away this morning
on her way home from work.
What happened?
She might've fallen asleep at
the wheel. Police aren't sure, yet.
I'm going to be sick, I'm sorry.
Carissa: We'll probably finish the masks
before group therapy tonight, but if...
Carissa: If anyone wants to talk
or needs time to process this, just...
Let one of us know, okay?
Are you going to be okay, Carissa?
I'm going to go make sure Mary's okay.
[ Somber, haunting music ]
Well, that sucks.
Was she here when you came the first time?
Yep. I've been here the
longest out of anyone, so...
I mean, we weren't best friends
or anything but... I liked her.
She cared about us.
And she never got tired of my crap.
I'm sorry.
Did you just have a feeling last night?
Or was there something more?
Mostly just a feeling.
Mostly?
Did your panic attack
have anything to do with it?
Well, if you have a feeling
about me let me know.
Like, right away.
I will.
And, Mary.
Be careful.
And don't... Don't shut people out.
If something's going on... talk to someone.
What do you mean?
A lot of the girls I've seen here have
had panic attacks but Kylie's were...
Aurora: Different.
She'd freak out like she was
seeing something, ya know?
And I don't believe in
any of that stuff but...
When she was around it was like
something else was here with us.
Aurora: And it's felt like that
the last couple nights, too.
So - so just... be careful.
I'd rather not see that
happen to someone else.
[ Music fades out ]
Gardyn: I just can't believe she's gone.
I just saw her.
You should go home.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
I need to set an example for the girls.
Gardyn: They can't leave. Neither can I.
You need to take care of yourself so
that you can take better care of them.
You know that. Go home, it's fine.
Thank you.
And Gardyn. Text me
when you get home, okay?
Hey, Colette. What's up?
Is someone, uh, coming to
take over Jill's overnight shift?
No, I'm staying.
You're working a double. After today?
Carissa: Wouldn't be
the first time. I'll manage.
Alright, um. Well.
If you need help, I - I've got your back.
Colette: I'm sure Olivia
would say the same thing.
I appreciate that.

Angela: I know you're awake, Mary.
[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]
You're not real. You're not really here.
Are you sure about that?
What do you want?
I just can't move on from you.
I try to forget you. And it
just doesn't seem to work.
Why not? Dad didn't even
ask you for child support.
You know how much he
struggles because of you?
Angela: I haven't
talked to him since I left.
So, no.
And I don't care.
He chose you.
I know. And you didn't. You have
to remind me of that every time?
And I'm reminded of you
every time I look in the mirror.
I can't get rid of you
no matter how hard I try.
Not in here.
And you can't get rid of me, either.
Angela: You're still suffering.
We both are.
But I can make that stop right now.
[ Mary grunting in pain ]
[ Static ]
[ Ambient, mysterious music ]
[ Fingers snapping ]
[ Water running in sink ]
[ Water stops, knock at the door ]
Mary. Are you okay?
No.
Can I come in, please?
You can't tell anyone. Not yet.
Tell anyone what?
Mary: I keep seeing
Angela. And something else.
That thing from the woods.
It stopped when you hurt yourself.
That worked for me.
For a while.
[ Static ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Branches snapping ]
Naveah: I can't take it. I can't
take it, anymore. Please, I'm sorry.
Naveah: If I don't do this,
people are going to die.
[ Somber reflective music ]
Colette: Naveah, stay where you
are. I'm going to call for help, okay?
NAVEAH: It's too late.
What? What do you mean?
I'm not home, Cole. Okay?
My parents are going to find me.
Where are you? Tell me?
The overpass by... Route 18.
By... Exit 8.
Naveah, what are you going to do?
I'm just protecting you and my family.
From what?
[ Tires screeching ]
Cole?
I love you.

[ Somber music ]
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Carissa: I do think that we
would be a great fit for Rachel.
Carissa: But, right now we
can't take on additional clients.
I'm lower on staff than I'd like.
Carissa: We do have applicants
but processing would take some time.
I can send you some recommendations.
Embark over on Clearfield
would be one choice.
I know the director there personally.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm really sorry.
Carissa: I'll keep you
on file and when we're
ready I'll reach out to
see if you still need us.
I hate to turn anyone away but right
now I'm not sure we could help her.
Am I wrong?
We were close to being
understaffed before we lost Jill, so...
Tara: I would've taken
the meeting anyway, but...
It's not all about business, is it?
No, it's not.
Uh, Kristin's already in so feel
free to take off whenever you want.
You're fine doing group?
Yeah, it was pretty quiet last
night. All things considered.
Thank God for that.
[ Ominous music ]
[ Knock at door ]
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. I just... [ melancholy music ]
I don't know. Drained after yesterday.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Aurora: Um, speaking of yesterday.
After... Seeing how fast things can happen.
Aurora: I don't want the last thing I said
to you to be something nasty like that.
So... I'm sorry.
I might still talk smack, but...
I'll never say anything
like that again. Okay?
[ Hoarse ] Okay.
[ Clears throat, laughs ]
I'd give you a hug if
I felt like getting up.
Yeah, go to hell.
How'd you sleep?
Did you really bring that tea from home?
Emma: Is that how you
smuggled in some melly?
Or do you have something else here?
I got it from the store. And
I didn't put anything in it.
Liar. I've never slept
through the night, once.
Do you think someone's
slipping something into your tea?
I mean we just lost Jill. Maybe
I was overemotional and just...
Whatever.
Yeah. Whatever.
Colette: Hey, Carissa.
Colette: Um. I - I need
to show you something.
Um. Can you ask Kristin or Tara?
Um. Nah - I'm sorry,
I - I only trust you.Um.
Please, it'll only take a second.
What's going on?
Ah, I'll show you.
[ Crickets ]
How do you know about this spot?
When Mary ran I found her here.
There was...
There was a statue. And
a radio here last night.
Last night?
I heard something. Like
static. Like - like a hum.
Colette: And I heard it before, so.
Last night, I-You snuck out of the house.
Something is going on with Mary. Okay?
I'm worried about you right now.
You don't want to know
who was playing loud, creepy
music in the woods in
the middle of the night?
Colette: Right where
Kylie killed herself. Her
initials are carved on
that tree, right there.
Colette: Naveah Pryor is there,
too. She killed herself a year ago.
After leaving here.
And she drew this.
[ambient, dramatic music
I It's a picture of a statue.
And when Mary and I were here, we
saw a statue that looked exactly like it.
How did you get this?
She was my friend.
[ Suspenseful music ]
Carissa: So. You said you trust me.
Why not Kristin? Or Tara?
I trust Kristin.
Colette: But Tara was
up all night with Mary,
last night. That's how
I was able to sneak out.
And, where were you? Carissa: Um.
In my office. Probably asleep.
I slept through Mary's
panic attack the other night.
Colette: After drinking my tea.
Colette: I skipped it last night
and I woke up with no problem.
What are you saying?
Did you drink something last
night that you left unattended?
Uh. Let's not get crazy
here. I worked a double shift.
And Tara...
Tara's been working nights
ever since she got here.
Colette: Ever since Naveah was here.
And Kylie.
Naveah was your friend.
Carissa: Is it a coincidence
that you ended up here?
Or that despite great behavior you aways
seem to miss out on your treatment goals-
when it counts the most?
If it's not a coincidence.
And... Colette: I did get here on purpose.
Then I probably do need
help. Don't you think? Hm.
Colette: Oh. Hey, Tara.
You know there are
cameras on the grounds, right?
Tara: If I access the footage from
last night, will I see you sneaking out-
to destroy and steal someone's property?
Maybe. Would it see
you putting it out there?
I'm allowed to go outside
at night. You're not.
Where is it?
The radio was yours?
Is there a reason you'd be
playing weird, creepy music...
In the woods? In the middle of the night?
Ambient music has been
used in therapy for years.
Ever heard of brown noise?
[ laughs ] That's your story? Cute.
[ laughs ] You...
are on arm's length
for the next two days.
Tara: I'll say it was
for being disrespectful.
Fill in the details if you want.
Make sure to give Kristin your phone.
Tara: That privilege has been revoked.
[ Crickets playing on radio ]
[ Mouths 'What?' ]
[ Static, high-pitched sounds ]
[ High-pitched wail ]
[ High-pitched wails,
Carissa breathing in distress ]
[ Static, high pitched wails ]
[ Carissa breathing heavy ]
[ Noises stop ]
[ Eerie music ]
You're in early.
So are you. Everything okay?
Yeah, I was just checking in
to see how the girls were doing.
Tara: The phone rang
so I came in to answer it.
Who was it?
I didn't reach it in time.
I'm going to step out for dinner
but I'll be back for my shift.
Unless you need me now? Carissa: No.
Go get your dinner, I'll see you soon.
You holding up okay?
Yeah.
Listening to that CD you
gave me a while back.
Carissa: That really helped on the way in.
Glad it helped.
See you later.
[ Pensive music ]
Carissa: All the initials
match up with the names of
former clients who killed
themselves after they left.
Carissa: All but one of them were dismissed
early either for violent behavior.
Or because we felt we weren't a good fit.
What about the other one?
Carissa: Layla actually met her
treatment goals but... same thing.
Carissa: Within a couple
days, she was gone.
Carissa: I remember her. She...
She must've gamed the system.
No one noticed this and...
thought it was weird, before now?
Most of the girls who
come here are either a
danger to themselves
or others to begin with.
Carissa: We don't really keep
track if someone leaves early.
I pray for all of them, believe me. But
I have to focus on who's in front of me.
What do you think is happening?
I don't know.
Carissa: But if you
think Mary's in danger I'll
have the day staff keep a close eye on her.
You, too.
Randy: Hello? Everything okay?
Yeah, I...
I think one of my employees
mistook Mary's phone for hers.
It happens sometimes. Do you
have Find my Phone or Life360? Or?
Randy: Yeah. No problem.
Thank you.
Randy: She hasn't moved for ten minutes.
Randy: If you stay on
56, you should run into her.
Carissa: Thank you. I'll call
you back if I have any problems.
[ Dark, suspenseful music ]
Emma: That turned out pretty neat.
Thanks.
Kinda boring compared to yours.
Well, you're kinda boring compared to me.
Maybe if you tried it on, you'd
pick up some of my personality.
I'd rather kill myself.
Burn. I like it.
What's with all the body parts?
What do you think?
I know you're a good
singer. Are you a dancer, too?
I did ballet when I was younger.
Emma: And contemporary
and hip hop until a year ago.
Emma: I want to get back into it.
It's hard to overthink when
you're too focused on the footwork.
I know it sounds stupid,
but Mary; No it doesn't.
Enough about me. What's with this?
The foil is like a metal face?
A strong face.
Basically.
Emma: You played lacrosse. And...
You're proud of your teeth?
I like to make people laugh.
Yeah, okay.
Emma: You really couldn't find the
words? Or you just being annoying?
When I go home. [ Tender, emotional music ]
And to get home I'll
have to rebuild myself.
Mary: Piece by piece. To believe
all those things about myself.
If that makes sense.
That's deep.
Okay.
[ Emma laughs ] Mary:
I know I look really silly.
[ Emma and Mary talk,
dramatic music on Television ]
[ Mary and Emma talking, muffled ]
[ Reflective, ominous music ]
What are you doing, Colette?
I'm on arm's length, remember?
There's no need for that
after lights out. Not for you.
Go keep Mary company. Tara:
Since when does arm's length have limits?
Since we lost Jill. And I didn't approve
of her being on it in the first place.
Tara: You questioning my
judgment? Carissa: No. I let it stand-
until now. She's not a risk.
She snuck out of the house.
Good. Whatever was on
that CD, it wasn't healthy
and it shouldn't have
been out there to begin with.
That justifies her breaking the rules?
Maybe not. But you're the residential
counselor, I'm the residential manager.
Do you want to keep debating this?
[ Peaceful music ]
I'll be doing bed checks, tonight.
Get some sleep.
Carissa: Hey.
Oh. Hey. What time is it?
You still have a half hour left to sleep. I
just wanted to say happy
birthday before I left.
Thank you. Um, why are you leaving?
I didn't sleep at all last night, I
just need a good five or six hours.
Then I'll meet you and
your aunt at the diner.
Carissa: And then I'll
take you on one of my
favorite hiking trails
before we come back here.
Sounds good. Thanks, Carissa.
You bet.
Alistair: You want to
suspend Tara right now after
losing your only other
dedicated night staff?
She was hiding the
phone behind her back, sir.
Alistair: Okay. And what
was she doing with it?
I don't know. Does it matter?
Alistair: Yes. Did you ask her?
I was planning to when I suspended her.
Alistair: Yeah, that's
not happening. Not now.
Alistair: What she did
deserves a write-up at most.
Alistair: I mean, unless you can
prove something illegal went on.
Alistair: Is there something
more to it you ain't telling me?
I followed her when she
took Mary's phone. And...
Alistair: Unless you want to
incriminate yourself, I'd stop right there.
Alistair: Look, just write
her up, focus on getting
more applications and
just keep things running.
Alistair: Understand?
Carissa: Yes, sir. Thank you.
[ Pensive music ]
Tara: They'll be there around 3:30.
Yep.
Thank you.
Oasis Girls & Kristin:
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday dear Colette!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
Carissa: Why didn't you open it, yet?
She told me to wait until
tonight. It's a surprise.
Mmm... You're not smuggling in
anything you shouldn't be, now are you?
Colette: Maybe. [ Both snort ]
Did you get any sleep Carissa: Barely.
But I need to. If I can't get Tara fired-
then I need to make sure
that I'm there when she is.
Yes, you do. Hey, I did some research.
Okay.
So, you know how listening
to that CD made you feel?
Mm. If it was the CD. It
could've just been the long hours.
Colette: Low frequencies can
create fear, discomfort, dizziness.
Blurred vision and hyperventilation.
Sometimes inducing panic attacks.
Interesting. Colette: The lowest sounds
we can hear start at about, like, 20 hertz.
Below that is a range called 'infrasound'.
Colette: And it can be produced
in music and sometimes...
Through other things.
Like static. Like white noise.
And... and we can't hear them?
No, but there are theories that
our minds can fill in the void.
Like, you can't hear it.
Colette: But your body reacts. So.
Maybe your mind reacts, too,
and fills in the sounds for you.
Colette: And um, of course
people think that it opens portals.
To like... demons.
[ Tense music ]
Deep Voice: There are two
explosives on the school grounds.
And a sniper waiting
outside who will blow the
brains out of any student
you try to evacuate.
Call the police if you want. But
do not let any kid step outside-
until I call back with
further instructions.
[ Distant splash ]
[ Tense music continues ]
Olivia: I really hope
that you all stay in touch.
Even if we weren't the best of friends I
genuinely hope that if you need help...
And you need to come back here. Like Rory.
Olivia: In a year or two
I'll probably be an RC here.
[ Phone buzzing ]
One second, girls.
Kristin: Gardyn, is everything okay?
Gardyn: Kristin, I'm so sorry.
I cannot make it in right now.
Gardyn: Apparently, there's been
a bomb threat at Shania's school.
What? Gardyn: I don't know,
they're not telling anybody anything.
Gardyn: One of my friends works there
and she said it was a bomb threat. And.
They're apparently not even letting anybody
near the building but
I'm on my way right now.
I'm so sorry. But I'm sure the
police are doing everything they can.
Don't worry about it. I'll get you covered.
Gardyn: Alright, thank
you, Kristin. [ Phone beeps ]
Just keep me posted, okay?
Gardyn: Okay.
[ Suspenseful music ]
Colette: Isn't this a pedestrian trail?
Sure is. I've got the
license plate. Okay, Karen.
Carissa: What?
He could hurt someone.
I know but it's still kind of
lame to call and report him.
You know what? If you're
going to use a pejorative
term to describe someone
doing the right thing...
Then you're the problem. Do better.
[ Colette laughs ]
Colette: So, did you
bring me all the way out
here just to tell me that I have to leave?
No.
You are potentially taking
a spot from someone else.
Normal capacity is 7 or 8 depending
on the severity of the cases.
I looked it up.
That's correct.
Carissa: And you told us that
your best friend killed herself.
Not that you listened to her die.
That's a lot to handle.
It is why I came here. More
or less. [ Slow, somber music ]
We'll adjust your treatment, and...
Carissa: You just have
to promise me that you'll
be 100 percent honest
with me going forward.
I will. I - I promise. Um.
And I'm sorry I didn't say
anything earlier, it's just...
I had to know. And you would've never
let me in if I had told you everything.
We all make unhealthy choices sometimes.
As you've been learning
our flaws and hurts...
Can be adjusted into
our greatest strengths.
Carissa: And whether I like it
or not... I think you've done that.
Thank you.
[ Static and voices ]
No.
No.
No. [Static and voices fade out ]
[ Moody music ]
I had a feeling you weren't
coming back outside.
I've been able to tune it out, but.
It's louder now than it has been.
We can stop it for good.
Or. You can.
How?
Colette: I always like, you know,
want to recycle but it's just like, so...
[ suspenseful music ]
What's wrong?
There's a guy. Like, he's watching us.
Just - don't look, okay?
Colette: He's behind that tree.
I think it's the guy from earlier.
I think I know another way
around. Let's get off this trail.
Yeah.
Tara: Keep breathing steadily.
Tara: I'm going to count to ten.
Don't count with me
just... focus on my voice.
One. [ Snaps fingers ]
Two. [ Snaps fingers ]
Three. [ Snaps fingers ]
Four. [ Snaps fingers ]
Five. [ Snaps fingers ]
Six. [ Snaps fingers ]
Seven. [ Snaps fingers ]
Eight. [ Snaps fingers ]
Nine. Ten. Eleven. [ Snaps
fingers ] [ sinister, ambient music ]
Twelve. Thirteen. [ Snaps fingers ]
I thought you were counting to ten.
Tara: I stopped at seven. Don't look at it.
Don't look at what?
Tara: Don't look. Find yourself.
Tara: And see where she takes you.
[ High pitched wail, demonic roaring ]
[ Mary panicked breathing ]
Tara: You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay. Mary: It came
when I tried to... you know.
[ Mary catching her breath ]
What the hell?
Tara: For you to get to the place
you were mentally that night. And.
Tara: Considering what Angela was doing.
There were already
negative energies at work.
In the Torah. The - Hebrew bible.
After Cain kills his brother.
Yahweh tells him...
The voice of your brother's blood
cries out to Me from the ground.
Tara: In uh... sacrifice rituals.
Blood is often spilled
on the earth as well.
Tara: Blood has a voice in a
frequency the human ear can't detect.
But other beings can.
When I... Tried to kill
myself, is that how I...
Invited this... thing?
It heard my blood?
Yes.
I believe it was there influencing Angela.
And your circumstances
to push you to do it.
Tara: And when you did it latched onto you.
Tara: Through the sound of your blood.
Tara: There's a phenomenon.
Uh... Auditory pareidolia.
Where the brain interprets
random monotonous sounds...
As voices. Some believe that
spirits can use that noise...
To communicate. And manifest.
How do we stop it?
There are temporary solutions.
But it'll never go away for good unless...
You talk to it.
Tara: In its own language.
How do I do that?
Is he in the car?
I can't tell.
If we hear anything in
the woods or behind us...
Then we'll make a run
for it. Colette: If we don't?
Then we wait.
Colette: I have to pee.
[ Colette humming ]
That reminds me of that um... meme? Like.
Colette: 'Would you rather be alone
in the woods with a bear or a man?'
Um, we wouldn't have been able
to hide from a bear - so a man.
Good choice.
Ow. Ow. Ugh, can we? Shh.
I'm getting a leg cramp.
Shh.
[ Ominous music ]
[ Engine starts ]
We'll be okay. We're okay.
Colette: They're in lockdown?
Looks like it.
Carissa: Wait here. Let
me see what the situation is.
Dark pop song
"I want you to love me"
"I want you to hurt me"
"I want you to save me"
[ suspenseful music ]
What happened? What's going on?
Mary came at me with a crowbar.
I - I don't know what happened, I-
Tara: I locked her in a room
and called the police, but...
I need you to wait here.
No, I - have you seen Carissa?
No, I - I'll look for
her, you just stay here.
No, I have to - I have to
find Carissa. I have to help-
No, we're in lockdown.
That means that you have-
I don't care what that means!
Mary?
Colette: Carissa!
Carissa, wake up!
Colette: Carissa!
Carissa, please.
[ Tense, dramatic music ]
ALEX: If you won't go to the hospital
like I strongly recommend, then...
I would at least say to check
in with your PC in the morning.
Noted.
And if you experience any more
of the symptoms we talked about...
Call for an ambulance or get a
ride to the hospital right away.
I'll do that. Thank you.
Alright. Take care of yourself, ma'am.
You too.
Officer. LIANNA: Yes ma'am?
Any word from the security
company about the cameras?
Yes, unfortunately there was a
disruption in the Wi-Fi service-
Lianna: -about an hour before the incident.
It's back now but there's no
video during that time frame.
What are they doing with Mary?
You shouldn't worry about that right now.
She was in our care for
the last two weeks, Officer.
Her father's picking her
up from the police station.
Neither you or Tara are pressing charges
so I don't think we will be, either.
Lianna: But, don't quote me on that okay?
[ Subtle, emotional music ]
Colette: I'm afraid I'll
hurt you if I hug you
but I was so scared. I
thought you were gone. I-
I really thought you were dead.
I don't know what I would
do without you, Carissa.
Aurora: Is she okay?
Tara: Yeah, I'd say to
come by after breakfast.
Tara: Give her a little
time with the girls, first.
They had a - hell of a night. Ya know?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
ALISTAIR: You know, this really sucks.
I know how close you are to these
girls and you do a great job, but...
I can't do nothing.
You know we have two openings. Two.
And you turn away another qualified
applicant. And you send her away.
And her mother - to - to our competition?
She needs help. That's my job.
Carissa: Until we can hire and things calm
down around here - it's not the right fit.
Carissa: But I wasn't going
to send her away, without-
No, your job is to help people... here.
Alistair: This is not a
referral service. Is it?
The other day we had
a girl run away at night.
And yet you take her out for
her birthday two days later?
Carissa: She didn't run away.
Alistair: She left the
premises without permission.
That could've turned out really bad.
You're right. I'm sorry.
I know you are.
Alistair: And I also know
that everything you do...
Alistair: You do because it's
what you think is best for the girls.
Alistair: I'm not going to
punish you for your intentions.
But the potential
outcomes... that's different.
You're suspended for a week. Without pay.
Look. Why don't you just...
Go away for a couple days. Take a breather.
Come back. Make better choices.
You got someone to
cover my responsibilities?
I think so. You know, between Kristin-
Alistair: Tara. And one
of the directors from
one of our satellites - we should be okay.
Anything more than that...
without you... might break us.
[ Emotional music ]
Olivia: It's kind of like
you're missing my graduation.
I know. But honestly...
Watching you grow the last six months
has been enough of a reward for me.
I owe most of it to you.
That's not true, though.
The RC's, the therapists...
They all put in more
time and work than I did.
Yeah, but you set the tone here.
And that made a huge difference.
And it's evident in us. So thank you.
You're welcome.
I'll write you. Carissa: You better.
And I expect an application sooner or
later. You know we could use the help here.
Olivia: Count on it. And hey, thanks
to you I'm getting some extra practice.
Olivia: Yep. I'm covering
some shifts at Leighman
tonight because the
director's going to be here.
Make me proud.
I'll try. [ Carissa laughs ]
You can hold down the fort here, right?
I will. As long as you back me up.
Of course.
Don't let anything happen to Mary, okay?
I won't.
[ Somber music ] Randy: You need
to come over and eat something.
Randy: Baby, I'm trying to help you.
I've been trying.
Now you are. Took you long enough.
I deserve that.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
I haven't done right by you.
But... we have to move forward.
Moving forward means sending
me to some wilderness camp in Utah?
Where I'll be able to see you once a month?
When the only other
alternative is a psych hospital...
Randy: Yes, I'd say so.
I was doing fine there,
except... Except what?
If I tell you, you'll just
put me in a hospital.
Or on drugs. Nevermind.
Mary, that's not what I
want. I want you to get better.
Then let me go back to Oasis.
That's up to them. And...
They called for me to pick you
up. And they recommended...
Utah.
I'm not hungry right now.
[ Doorbell ]
I'll be back.
Randy: Look, I appreciate
you taking Mary in.
Trust me, I do, but... she was
never violent before she went there.
Now, she's seeing things.
Blanking out. Attacking people.
I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.
You should be. You can see yourself out.
Listen.
Carissa: We've helped so
many young women like Mary.
In fact we had one who came
to us after getting off drugs.
And being abused in terrible ways
and she's graduating in a few days.
I can't take credit but
our team, thank God...
We've changed girls' lives.
I don't doubt any of
that. And good for you.
But, I'm concerned with my daughter.
And not a single thing has
improved since she's been there.
That's not true.
[ Gentle, emotional music ]
Carissa.
I don't know what happened. I
swear, I didn't mean to hurt you.
Mary: I would never do something like that.
I know. You don't have to convince me.
I came here to check on you.
Mary: I learned so much while I
was there. I know it wasn't long, but...
I started coping with my
panic attacks. I had one
while we were home and I
was able to stop it by myself.
That's so awesome. I'm really proud of you.
Carissa: We're going
to figure this out, okay?
So then, why... what the hell happened?
I don't know, Mr. Wilson. No one does.
The security cameras weren't
working at the time, so...
Carissa: The truth isn't out
yet but I am going to find out.
And... Mary.
Carissa: Whatever
happened... I don't blame you.
Please stay strong. And...
Carissa: I will do what I can to get
you back there. If your Dad allows it.
And... in the meantime.
The girls signed this for you this morning.
Carissa: And, um.
Carissa: There's some of
your worksheets in here and...
Carissa: Also I threw in
some new activities and... um...
Carissa: If...
Carissa: If you can
disassociate it from whatever
happened last night - because
you worked so hard on it.
Your power mask is in here, too.
Um... Mary.
You are beautiful.
And... you're so strong.
Carissa: You can survive anything
that life throws at you. Alright?
And more than that -
you're going to thrive.
Just stay the course, okay?
Thank you, Carissa.
You're so welcome.
Uh, could you give us a minute?
I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but...
One of your workers came
by to apologize for everything.
She said some things about the
way you were running the house that...
Even at the time, I
wasn't sure I believed in.
Randy: I definitely don't, now.
Maybe, uh...
Make sure everyone who's working
there is playing for the same team.
If you know what I mean?
Voice on TV: We don't really
have any other family around.
2nd voice on TV: I'm sure she
appreciates that. [ Moody music ]
Thank you, baby.
We shouldn't stay up
too late, alright? Okay.
[ Voices on TV ]
[ Somber, dramatic music ]
[ Suspenseful, moody music ]
[ Static from phone, snapping fingers ]
Randy?
Mary?
Angie: You want me to leave? Really?
Put the knife down.
Tara: This is your chance. Stop
her and you erase this trauma.
Tara: You win your mind back.
You want the police out here? You
remember who they arrested last time.
No, don't get up.
Don't take another step.
Angela, put the knife down, now.
You think you can stop
me before she's dead?
Tara: You control the way it ends this
time. The way you process your trauma.
[ Shuffling on bed ]
Mary?
No.
Mary is going to kill Carissa.
And most likely her father, tonight.
Why Carissa? Why her Dad?
They've always just...
killed themselves, before.
Because of you bringing things
to light, Carissa knows too much.
Tara: Have to tie up the loose ends, and...
Mr. Wilson, well... [ chuckles ]
Just makes more sense for her to have
a psychotic break and slaughter everyone.
Don't get any ideas.
You try to run, this gets worse for
you. And you're not getting past me.
I'll scream.
Go ahead.
Loose ends, remember?
I don't want to have to kill you.
I've always avoided that. Too messy.
What happens to me?
Most likely...
You'll go back to another
psychiatric hospital.
Tara: But for a lot longer
than two weeks, this time.
You attacked me. That's how I got
these injuries, I was defending myself.
Tara: Ideally, I just
disarm you and get away.
Worst case... I have to hurt you.
To save myself.
[ Distressed breathing ]
Tara: I'll give you credit for
figuring out as much as you did.
I'm impressed.
Why are you doing this?
Tell me.
Tara: When I almost died before...
Coming to a place like this.
I felt... Something.
Tara: As I was slipping away.
Some would call it a presence.
Watching me.
Tara: Waiting for me to go all the way.
It's the only time in my
life I felt like I existed.
I haven't been able to feel
like that ever since except...
By connecting with
these... Weak. Pathetic girls.
Tara: And forcing them to kill themselves.
What is that?
A camera. My aunt gave
it to me for my birthday.
Which, you didn't say,
by the way. [ Laughs ]
Colette: It's going to
my family and my friends.
You thought you had it
all figured out, didn't you?
Gotcha.
Clever.
[ Intense, electronic music ]
[ Colette screams ]
Don't. Please.
Thank you.
Aurora: Hey. Hey, you okay?
As tough as you are, I
really had to come save you?
Go screw yourself, Emma.
Your nose. I'm okay.
[ Dramatic, resilient music ]
Colette?
What time is it, Mary?
What?
Look at the clock on the wall to your left.
Angela: Tell me what time it is.
Wh-what are you doing?
It was dinner time when this happened.
It's 12:34 at night.
What are you waiting for?
Focus on the clock, Mary.
Shoot her.
Past Mary: Now.
Mary: Carissa? Is this some kind of trick?
No. It's me.
Whatever Tara did to you, she's
making you see things. And...
She got into your head.
She was trying to help me.
Carissa: No. No, she wasn't. But I am.
Please, put down the gun.
[ Static ]
[ Eerie, off putting music ]
[ Static louder ]
[ Demonic roar ]
[ Resolute, hopeful music ]
CAPTIONS PROVIDED BY
SHADY DAWN PICTURES END
Angela: I can go out wherever the
hell I want, whenever the hell I want.
Angela: With whoever the hell I want.
ANGELA: Do you hear
me? You don't control me!
RANDY: No one's trying
to control you, Angela.
But this isn't fair to me. And
more importantly it isn't fair to Mary.
When was the last time you
even spent any time with her?
When's the last time
you spent time with her?
This morning. Before I went to work.
Oh, wow. 15-20 minutes?
That's real quality time.
That's more than you do. And you
don't have a job, so what's your excuse?
You asked me to stay home with her!
You don't get to throw that in my face!
I asked you to stay at home
to take care of our daughter.
Not to sit around all day drinking
and going out with your friends.
What I do is my business.
I think you need to leave, Angela.
Oh. You want me to leave?
[ Ominous music ]
Put the knife down.
MARY: Dad?
Go lock yourself in your
room and call the police.
You want the police out here? You
remember who they arrested last time.
Randy: Angela!
Angela: Don't... move.
Don't take another step.
You don't get to do this to me. You
begged me for her. You asked me for her.
You remember that?!
Angela, put the knife down, now.
No! You should've let me get
rid of her when I wanted to.
Then we wouldn't be here, now.
You want her? Then you can have her.
Don't come after me. Otherwise
I promise you I will finish this!
Mom, why?
Don't ever call me that again.
[ Mary crying ]
[ Ominous music continues ]
[ Water running in sink ]
[ Grunting in pain ]
[ Knocking ] Mary.
[ Knocking ] Randy:
Mary? You in the shower?
We need to talk. Okay?
Mary? Mary!
[ Randy slamming into
door ] Randy: Mary! Mary!
[ Door slams open ]
Mary? Oh, no. Mary. Oh, no.
Mary!
"Grenades" by Serafina
[ moody pop music ]
"Stare out my window"
"Smoke in my eyes"
"Where does my wind blow?"
"I will decide."
"Said I will decide."
"Said I will decide."
"And you stand on the moon
while I'm lost out in space."
"And you enjoy the pain
while I numb it away."
"Nothing makes you afraid.
Don't know that I'm so brave."
"But there's no one to blame so
I'd best not be throwin' grenades."
You guys in lockdown?
CARISSA: The other girls are on a
day trip. They'll be back around 7.
I thought Mary might want to get acclimated
to the space before she met everyone.
That is a little less awkward.
You can leave your bags here for
now, I'll need to check them, anyway.
But let me show you your
room and give you a tour.
"Baby, look at the table."
"Tell me what do you bring?"
Mary: Let me guess, this is my bed?
Carissa: That is correct. Although
today you're on arm's length.
So you'll be out in the living room
for the night with one of the staff.
What's arm's length, again?
You have to be within arm's length,
more or less, of staff at all times.
Except in the bathroom. And then
you have to keep the door open a crack.
And sing, hum, make
noise. [ Pensive music ]
It's a... it's a safety
precaution. Mary: Great.
And if all goes well you'll move to
Level 1 and you'll be in here with Colette.
She's a bit of a character but she's
really helpful with the other young ladies.
Carissa: So, you're with her for a reason.
Let me show you the rest of the house.
[ Emotional music ]
Guess I can't run away, now.
You didn't see the broken glass
spread around out there? Or the moat?
You know I think this is
the best thing for you, right?
Yeah. And for your job.
You don't have to worry about
keeping an eye on me, now.
That's not fair. Mary: It's true.
Would you rather be in a hospital?
I'd rather be at home. With my Dad.
And you will be. Soon. I'm...
Randy: I'm going to be ready to...
Randy: To be everything you
need me to be when this is over.
Randy: That's a promise.
I love you, baby.
I'm sorry.
For everything.
[ Emotional music ]
Marco.
Polo.
Carissa: Marco.
Would you rather sing Happy Birthday?
Polo.
And... Marco.
[ Toilet flushes loudly ]
The first day or two you
might feel like a prisoner, but...
Carissa: It's just policy
to feel you out. Make
sure you're not a threat
to yourself or anyone else.
It gets better.
Can we take a walk?
Just around the grounds?
I really shouldn't do that
without more staff here.
You have my shoes. And you would
catch me if I tried to run, anyway.
I like walking, but I'm not a runner.
Well...
If you get away from me without
your shoes, I deserve to be fired.
Carissa: Let's go.
[ Ominous, ambient drone ]
[ Ominous, ambient drone fades out ]
[ Mysterious, hopeful music ]
COLETTE: Hey Carissa,
is this my new roommate?
Carissa: Yes.
Hi, Colette. I'm Mary. Hey Mary.
Carissa: I'll introduce you to
everyone once they're in and seated.
Colette: And I'll give you the real
rundown of everything tomorrow.
AURORA: Why are you in here? We in trouble?
Carissa: What? OLIVIA:
Obviously, we have a new kid.
Aurora: I have eyes, thanks,
but that doesn't mean that-
KRISTIN: You probably are in
trouble. But that's not why she's in here.
Alright ladies, I'd like
everyone to say hello to Mary.
Colette: Hey Mary. Everyone else: Hi Mary.
Hi.
We all bring different
personalities, unique perspectives.
Lots of different backgrounds and
goals. But... we're all here to heal.
Carissa: To learn skills to help
us to navigate this messy world-
Carissa: - and the messy emotions we bring
into it. And the best way to do that is-
Is together.
Yes.
Carissa: And Mary's a part of our group
now, so let's all make her feel welcome.
Okay?
[ Something bangs on window, shuffles ]
[ Suspenseful, eerie music ]
[ loud bang on door ]
[ Bang on door ]
TARA: [laughs] It's... bats.
Tara: They do that sometimes when
the motion lights aren't on outside.
[ Wings fluttering, bats chittering ]
[ Door closes and locks ]
The motion lights work that well, huh?
They do but only on
bigger creatures like, uh...
One of you trying to escape. Or bears.
Bears?
You won't see any, don't worry.
Tara: They wander
around late at night. That's
why we have to be careful with the garbage.
Good to know. Thanks.
Tara. Right?
Yep. You're welcome.
Where's the other lady?
Jill? Uh, asleep in Carissa's office.
Tara: Unlike me, she can't
sleep during the day so...
She needs it.
What do you do all night?
Read. Work on reports.
Read. [ Laughs ]
Tara: Although... even though...
everyone's supposed to
be asleep after light's out.
I'm here to talk if I'm needed.
Me too. If you get tired of reading.
[ Mellow music ]
EMMA: "Say what you want and
I'll promise I'll believe it's true."
Emma: "Take me back to
where my heart was able."
New girl. Leave your basket
and I'll take care of it next.
That's against the rules.
Colette might be your roommate but
on laundry day she's ruthless, trust me.
Thank you but I'm...
I'm kind of weird about other
people touching my dirty clothes.
Okay. Whatever.
Maybe just... could you tell
me when the washer's done?
If I see you, sure.
You have a great voice, by the way.
[ Thoughtful music ]
Hurry up.
Hey, thanks for-Emma: Are you serious?
You really couldn't wait
for me to get down here?
What?
After I tried to be nice to you,
you throw my clothes on the floor.
I swear, I didn't. I haven't even
been back, I was in the bathroom.
Oh yeah, because someone
else just put your clothes
in the dryer and didn't
load theirs into the washer?
[ Pensive music ] You think I'm that dumb?
[ Pleasant, hopeful music ]
[ Talking, muffled ]
[ Muffled talking ]
[ Excited scream, muffled talking ]
[ Baby goats bleeting ]
[ Baby goats bleeting,
Emma mocking and laughing ]
[ Muffled talking, horse snorts ]
[ Ethereal, peaceful music ]
[ Door opens and closes in distance ]
You're taking a risk.
I know. But that's one rule
that shouldn't apply to everyone.
Colette: If you can be neat, you should
be allowed to have drinks in your room.
You doing alright?
I guess. I just need to get
used to everything. Everyone.
You've only been here a week. Give it two.
Colette: Maybe three. You'll get there.
I almost feel like I need therapy
from being here. Sometimes.
I know what you mean.
But what you do with this experience will
make all the difference when you get home.
Colette: It could be worse.
Um. Before this I was in a psych unit.
At a hospital. And.
This is like a 5 star
resort compared to that.
How'd you end up in there?
Um, one of my best friends, um...
Had serious mental health issues.
Colette: And I tried to
talk her out of it but...
She killed herself. Um.
Right on the phone.
Sorry.
I had trouble coping after that, and...
A few months after she died...
Um. I almost killed myself.
Colette: They sent me to a hospital first.
There was no freedom there. Like,
at all. And the staff was just nasty.
Um, thank God my
sister got me out of there.
Colette: Then, I was at a wilderness
camp for a while which was...
Colette: Interesting.
Colette: And... This is my last stop.
Hopefully.
Colette: I know it's um...
tough, sometimes, but...
Oh.
Sorry. They um, they
really care about you here.
They really want what's best for
you, so... try to keep that in mind.
I will.
Colette.
[ Somber music ]
Seriously?
[ Tense music ]
[ Static, radio interference ]
Angela: You should've let me
get rid of her when I wanted to.
Then, we wouldn't be here, now.
Mom, no!
Whoah.
I'm sorry. Emma: You're sleepwalking.
They usually tell us when
there's a sleepwalker.
I - I'm not. I, I don't.
Yes, you do. This isn't the first
time I've seen you wandering at night.
Go back to bed.
[ Suspenseful buildup music and fade out ]
Kristin: Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six.
Kristin: Five. Four. Three. Two. One.
Okay. Get some water
and take five. Great job girls.
[ High pitched noise ] Colette:
Can I run to the bathroom?
Kristin: Yeah, go ahead.
I'll be right back.
[ High pitched noise slowly fades out ]
Don't listen to them.
What? To who? The voices.
Cut it out, Aurora.
I don't hear voices.
I hope not. That's
how it started with Kylie.
Who's Kylie? She stayed
here about six months ago.
Aurora was doing her first round
back then and I was just starting.
First round? Don't make it sound bad, Liv.
After Kylie killed herself
my parents signed me out.
And they sent you back, after
all. What does that say about you?
Aurora: That you shouldn't mess with me.
Kristin: Hands to yourselves, girls.
Kylie killed herself, here?
Sort of. They kicked her out after
she attacked one of the other girls.
She ran away from home that
night and then killed herself.
Out there, somewhere.
We don't know that for sure.
I was here.
Aurora: The cops and
an ambulance were out by
the road. When my parents
came they had to wait.
They saw her body being taken out.
Yeah, right. You think
because you're here for
the second time and you
happened to know her-
that you're unique or interesting?
Well, we can't all be as interesting as
you. My Daddy didn't like me like that.
[ Aurora grunts, Emma shrieks ]
Kristin: Stop it, right now! Emma:
Don't you ever touch me again!
Aurora: You should've
said that to him, not me.
Emma: You're dead! You're dead!
Stop that! Get back in the house, now!
What I miss?
Olivia: The usual.
Kristin: Get Mary, please.
[ Suspenseful music ]
You okay?
Yeah.
We're going inside, now. Okay.
What the hell are we doing, now?
Aurora, you must enjoy being on Level 2.
I'm Level 3.
The day's not over.
If I go down, Emma better-Emma:
You started it out there, you-
You're doing this in front of me. Really?
Okay. So these are your power masks.
What are we, eight? [ Inspiring music ]
Eight year olds know
better than to talk out of turn.
Carissa: So, sometimes we
need to step outside of ourselves.
In order to have a different perspective.
As you've been learning.
But also, some of us are
uncomfortable in our own skin.
We lack confidence.
We don't like to be front and center, we
don't like to draw attention to ourselves.
Kristin: And there's nothing
wrong with that necessarily.
But when it prevents us from standing
up for ourselves or speaking out...
Carissa: Then, it can be a problem.
So instead of actually
hiding, as we sometimes do...
Carissa: We can create a healthy alter ego.
Carissa: A mask that reminds
ourselves and those around us...
Carissa: of what makes us
great. What makes us unique.
So, with this.
Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday after group.
Carissa: You're going to be
working on your own power masks.
Carissa: Design them however you
want. There's plenty of materials to use.
Use words. Use colors. Use pictures.
Carissa: Anything you want
to represent who you are.
Carissa: We'll be doing
a couple layers so...
Carissa: Take your time
with it and have fun. Okay?
Okay. Come up to the island
and take what you want.
But share.
Everyone gets to spend ten
minutes with each magazine.
[ Peaceful music fades out ]
This is kind of lame.
Kind of. But it'll be fun. [ Laughs ]
DEMONIC VOICE: Mary.
JILL: Are you okay, Mary?
Yeah, I was just dreaming.
I wasn't loud was I?
No, I'm just doing a head count.
Was your dream something
you want to talk about?
No, I still am just getting used
to being out here. But thanks.
Okay. You should go
back to sleep, it's almost 3.
I have to go to the bathroom.
Okay. Just don't be long.
[ loud static, distant hum ]
[ Eerie music, distant voices ]
[ Music and voices fade out ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Knock at door ]
Jill: Mary?
Jill: Say something.
Yes.
You were washing your
hands for a long time.
Then you didn't respond.
I'm sorry, I must've fallen asleep.
It's fine, but... are you okay?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
She looks like she could go
for some ice cream right now.
I'm still a Level 1.
That's a Level 3 privilege.
At this time of night, you're
whatever level we say you are.
[ Hopeful, emotional music ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Mellow music ]
Good morning. Mary: Morning.
Who was in the bathroom, last?
New girl. Why?
The sink was a mess and
the toilet wasn't flushed.
I didn't even use the
bathroom, I just brushed-
Emma: I don't know what you did at home.
But you've been here long
enough to know the rules by
now. You don't leave messes
for other people to clean up.
GARDYN: Alright, Emma.
GARDYN: If that happened
you can come talk to
one of us or speak to
Mary about it privately.
I was already running late this morning
when I had to take
extra time out of my way-
to clean up after her.
There was hair all over the sink.
Colette: Hey, get off her back!
Kristin: That's enough. You can discuss
it later in a group. The proper way.
Fine.
Just don't do it again.
And I better earn points.
[ Scoffs ] For what? Being a brat?
Aurora: Because you had to sweep
a little hair off the sink? Grow up.
[ Emma spits, Olivia gasps ]
Olivia: What is wrong with you guys?
Gardyn: Hey! [ High-pitched noise ]
Gardyn: Hey! [ Grunts, Colette yelps ]
Kristin: Sit down, now! Or
you will be OIC. Right now!
[ High-pitched noise ]
[ Mary hyperventilating ]
[ Knock at door ]
Mary. Can I come in, please?
M-hm.
Tara: Here. I'm going to put
this in your hand. Hold on tight.
Focus on how it feels on your skin.
Tara: Focus on the cold.
How can I focus on anything else?
[ Breathing steadies ]
That worked. Tara: Yeah.
It provides a shock to the system and
gives you something tangible to focus on.
Why are you still here?
I was on my way out when
I heard what was going on.
I told Kristin I'd check in on you.
Thank you.
That's what I'm here for.
[ Knock at door ]
Thank you, Tara.
Mary, I'm taking the girls on
a walk after breakfast. Okay?
Shouldn't we give her a few more
minutes? I don't mind sticking around.
It's in 15 minutes and I've
got some things to address, so...
Carissa: Most of you have
been here long enough to know
that we have certain ways
of dealing with conflict.
And that there are other ways that are
completely unacceptable
like violence or yelling.
I'm sorry.
I know you are. And that's why I
don't want to assign any consequences.
Carissa: Not even after what just happened.
I'd rather we just...
[ high-pitched noise ]
Carissa: Move on and promise to do better.
Carissa: What are you
doing? Aurora: She pushed me.
Colette: Hey, it was an accident.
Olivia: She tripped, genius.
You watch it. I'm getting tired of you
thinking you're better than the rest of us.
The rest? No, just you. [ Colette laughs ]
Olivia: As long as you've been here,
you should've gone home months ago.
But that's not happening now, is it?
What the hell did you say?
You heard me. No one
even-Carissa: Hey, girls!
[ High-pitched noise,
voices ] Aurora: Really, Olivia
can just talk to me like
that? Emma can spit on me?
And I'm the one that gets in trouble?
You know what? I'm done with this.
Colette: Mary, wait! Carissa: Girls, stop.
[ Energetic hip hop music ]
Hey! Colette: I'm going after Mary!
Uh. Okay.
Olivia: Do you want me to go after Emma?
Carissa: No, just go back to the house.
Carissa: Tell them that she's headed west.
Okay.
[ laughs ]
Aurora!
Carissa: Aurora! Leave me alone.
Stop!
Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
DRIVER: You okay, Miss? Yes.
Can you give me a ride to
the nearest gas station, please?
And, do you have a phone?
DRIVER: Yeah. Yeah, hop in the back.
Driver: Just don't mind my daughter.
[ Calming music ]
Sup?
SHANIA: Hey.
Thank God.
Gardyn (on phone): Hey booo.
What? How?
My husband and daughter
were coming to drop off lunch.
Gardyn: I told them to keep
an eye out for you on their way.
Hey, you're lucky we got
to you before the bears did.
Very lucky.
Couldn't you just run me over?
[ laughs ]
[ Screams ]
I can't outrun you but you're
not making me go back.
That's fine. But wherever
you go, I'm coming.
You've got other girls you
can actually help, okay?
Spend your time on
them, don't waste it on me.
It's not a waste.
Kristin told me that you
brought up Kylie earlier.
I do not want something
like that happening to you.
Why? Because you get less money
if we don't finish your program?
Aurora. Do you enjoy
making people feel bad?
Carissa: Is that why you'd
say something like that to me?
Or why you'd bring up her
past to a victim of terrible abuse?
Like it's something that
she should be ashamed of?
I know it's not right.
So like I said, let me go.
Carissa: No.
You can be whatever you want
to be as a person. This isn't it.
You know that.
I do. But... I haven't
changed all this time.
What's the point? [ Emotional music ]
You just can't see what I've seen.
Carissa: Or your parents.
Carissa: Slow and steady wins the race.
And I mean... sometimes you run backwards.
[ Both laugh ] Carissa: But...
But you are making progress. And
I'll be here every step of the way.
All of us will.
I'm not ready to go back.
Then, we won't go back.
Not yet.
[ Emotional music fades out]Mary?
Mary?
[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]
It happened here.
This is where Kylie killed herself.
Colette: Do you hear something like static?
Yes.
We need to get back, now, okay?
[ Throws up ]
What's wrong?
I don't - I don't feel
well all of a sudden.
Mary: We getting in trouble?
Colette: Us? No. The others - definitely.
[ Calming, hopeful music ]
[ Typing on keyboard ]
[ Rhythmic knocking on door ]
Hey, what's up Colette?
Um, nothing. Kristin said I could
have my phone for free time.
Sure. [ Clears throat ]
Thank you. Carissa: M-hm.
[ Ominous, ambient music ]
'One of our exercises this week was
to create something to depict emotions.
'Mine was fear.
'I started out drawing a door. The one
my brother would come to every night.
'But then I saw something behind the door.
'The same thing I've seen in
my dreams since I came here.
'I hear it when I leave the sink
running too long or when the heat is on.'
It's the statue.
Again?
I really can't be sneaking
you in for ice cream again, yet.
But... do you want anything?
Tara: Do you need to talk?
Okay.
Let us know if you change your
mind. We're here. You know that.
The attic is in the basement
under the flower outside the window.
What?
[ Dark, ambient music ]
[ Car horn blares, tires screeching ]
[ Turn signal clicking ]
[ Eerie, unsettling music ]
[Mary screams ]
[Mary crying and hyperventilating ]
Olivia: Mary?
Mary, what's going on?
Tara: What's wrong, Mary? Breathe. Breathe.
Get back to your rooms, girls.
Jill: What happened?
Fill up a bucket with ice water. Now!
Do you need help?
Tara: Yeah, grab her arm.
Everyone else back to your rooms.
Hold it steady. [ Mary crying ]
Deep breath, Mary. Deep breath.
[ Mary screaming under water ]
Tara: Up.
Tara: Deep breath, Mary. And, hold
it. [ Mary crying, gasping for air ]
Okay.
Tara: In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
Just breathe. Okay?
You couldn't have just
started with the ice pack?
[ Sinister, ambient music ]
Cole. Your roommate just spazzed
out and woke the entire house.
You really just slept through that?
Classic.
[ Music fades out ]
[ Spits ] Can I help you?
Just making sure you're not picking
up any bad habits from your roommate.
Okay, Emma.
Bye. Emma: Wait.
Did you sneak something in?
What do you mean?
Mary was screaming her head off
last night and you slept right through it.
I was tired.
I tried to wake you, I shook you.
Okay. Your point?
If you're taking something I want in.
[ Sighs ] Just my tea before I go to bed.
Colette: You're welcome
to try some if you want.
Maybe I will.
[ Haunting, menacing music ]
[ Voices ]
[ Knocking ]
Hey.
How're you feeling this morning?
Fine. A little tired but
that's not a surprise.
No, it's not.
If you need to take a
nap today, just ask Kristin.
Jill: Carissa will let you lay down
in her office if you really need it.
And, I'd say you qualify after last night.
Thank you.
See you later, Mary.
[ Ominous, haunting music ]
Hey, Jill.
Yes?
I uh... [ pensive music ]
I probably kept you
up last night, too. Just...
Be careful getting home. I
hope you don't drive too far.
Goodnight, Jill. Jill: Good morning, Rory.
It's a half an hour drive but
trust me last night was nothing.
Jill: Imagine going out into the woods
looking for a runaway at 3 in the morning.
I appreciate the concern, though.
Seeya.
Carissa: Gardyn, could I...
can I talk to you for a second?
Yes, ma'am.
[ Haunting, somber music ]
What?
Um.
I need a minute. Carissa: That's fine.
Um...
Carissa: I'm really, really sorry
to have to tell you girls this, but...
Jill passed away this morning
on her way home from work.
What happened?
She might've fallen asleep at
the wheel. Police aren't sure, yet.
I'm going to be sick, I'm sorry.
Carissa: We'll probably finish the masks
before group therapy tonight, but if...
Carissa: If anyone wants to talk
or needs time to process this, just...
Let one of us know, okay?
Are you going to be okay, Carissa?
I'm going to go make sure Mary's okay.
[ Somber, haunting music ]
Well, that sucks.
Was she here when you came the first time?
Yep. I've been here the
longest out of anyone, so...
I mean, we weren't best friends
or anything but... I liked her.
She cared about us.
And she never got tired of my crap.
I'm sorry.
Did you just have a feeling last night?
Or was there something more?
Mostly just a feeling.
Mostly?
Did your panic attack
have anything to do with it?
Well, if you have a feeling
about me let me know.
Like, right away.
I will.
And, Mary.
Be careful.
And don't... Don't shut people out.
If something's going on... talk to someone.
What do you mean?
A lot of the girls I've seen here have
had panic attacks but Kylie's were...
Aurora: Different.
She'd freak out like she was
seeing something, ya know?
And I don't believe in
any of that stuff but...
When she was around it was like
something else was here with us.
Aurora: And it's felt like that
the last couple nights, too.
So - so just... be careful.
I'd rather not see that
happen to someone else.
[ Music fades out ]
Gardyn: I just can't believe she's gone.
I just saw her.
You should go home.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
I need to set an example for the girls.
Gardyn: They can't leave. Neither can I.
You need to take care of yourself so
that you can take better care of them.
You know that. Go home, it's fine.
Thank you.
And Gardyn. Text me
when you get home, okay?
Hey, Colette. What's up?
Is someone, uh, coming to
take over Jill's overnight shift?
No, I'm staying.
You're working a double. After today?
Carissa: Wouldn't be
the first time. I'll manage.
Alright, um. Well.
If you need help, I - I've got your back.
Colette: I'm sure Olivia
would say the same thing.
I appreciate that.
[ Unsettling, creepy music ]
[ Static ]
[ Static ]

[ Music fades out ]
Angela: I know you're awake, Mary.
[ Eerie, suspenseful music ]
You're not real. You're not really here.
Are you sure about that?
What do you want?
I just can't move on from you.
I try to forget you. And it
just doesn't seem to work.
Why not? Dad didn't even
ask you for child support.
You know how much he
struggles because of you?
Angela: I haven't
talked to him since I left.
So, no.
And I don't care.
He chose you.
I know. And you didn't. You have
to remind me of that every time?
And I'm reminded of you
every time I look in the mirror.
I can't get rid of you
no matter how hard I try.
Not in here.
And you can't get rid of me, either.
Angela: You're still suffering.
We both are.
But I can make that stop right now.
[ Mary grunting in pain ]
[ Static ]
[ Ambient, mysterious music ]
[ Fingers snapping ]
[ Water running in sink ]
[ Water stops, knock at the door ]
Mary. Are you okay?
No.
Can I come in, please?
You can't tell anyone. Not yet.
Tell anyone what?
Mary: I keep seeing
Angela. And something else.
That thing from the woods.
It stopped when you hurt yourself.
That worked for me.
For a while.
[ Static ]
[ Suspenseful music ]
[ Branches snapping ]
Naveah: I can't take it. I can't
take it, anymore. Please, I'm sorry.
Naveah: If I don't do this,
people are going to die.
[ Somber reflective music ]
Colette: Naveah, stay where you
are. I'm going to call for help, okay?
NAVEAH: It's too late.
What? What do you mean?
I'm not home, Cole. Okay?
My parents are going to find me.
Where are you? Tell me?
The overpass by... Route 18.
By... Exit 8.
Naveah, what are you going to do?
I'm just protecting you and my family.
From what?
[ Tires screeching ]
Cole?
I love you.

[ Radio shatters ]
[ Somber music ]
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Carissa: I do think that we
would be a great fit for Rachel.
Carissa: But, right now we
can't take on additional clients.
I'm lower on staff than I'd like.
Carissa: We do have applicants
but processing would take some time.
I can send you some recommendations.
Embark over on Clearfield
would be one choice.
I know the director there personally.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm really sorry.
Carissa: I'll keep you
on file and when we're
ready I'll reach out to
see if you still need us.
I hate to turn anyone away but right
now I'm not sure we could help her.
Am I wrong?
We were close to being
understaffed before we lost Jill, so...
Tara: I would've taken
the meeting anyway, but...
It's not all about business, is it?
No, it's not.
Uh, Kristin's already in so feel
free to take off whenever you want.
You're fine doing group?
Yeah, it was pretty quiet last
night. All things considered.
Thank God for that.
[ Ominous music ]
[ Knock at door ]
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. I just... [ melancholy music ]
I don't know. Drained after yesterday.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Aurora: Um, speaking of yesterday.
After... Seeing how fast things can happen.
Aurora: I don't want the last thing I said
to you to be something nasty like that.
So... I'm sorry.
I might still talk smack, but...
I'll never say anything
like that again. Okay?
[ Hoarse ] Okay.
[ Clears throat, laughs ]
I'd give you a hug if
I felt like getting up.
Yeah, go to hell.
How'd you sleep?
Did you really bring that tea from home?
Emma: Is that how you
smuggled in some melly?
Or do you have something else here?
I got it from the store. And
I didn't put anything in it.
Liar. I've never slept
through the night, once.
Do you think someone's
slipping something into your tea?
I mean we just lost Jill. Maybe
I was overemotional and just...
Whatever.
Yeah. Whatever.
Colette: Hey, Carissa.
Colette: Um. I - I need
to show you something.
Um. Can you ask Kristin or Tara?
Um. Nah - I'm sorry,
I - I only trust you.Um.
Please, it'll only take a second.
What's going on?
Ah, I'll show you.
[ Crickets ]
How do you know about this spot?
When Mary ran I found her here.
There was...
There was a statue. And
a radio here last night.
Last night?
I heard something. Like
static. Like - like a hum.
Colette: And I heard it before, so.
Last night, I-You snuck out of the house.
Something is going on with Mary. Okay?
I'm worried about you right now.
You don't want to know
who was playing loud, creepy
music in the woods in
the middle of the night?
Colette: Right where
Kylie killed herself. Her
initials are carved on
that tree, right there.
Colette: Naveah Pryor is there,
too. She killed herself a year ago.
After leaving here.
And she drew this.
[ambient, dramatic music
I It's a picture of a statue.
And when Mary and I were here, we
saw a statue that looked exactly like it.
How did you get this?
She was my friend.
[ Suspenseful music ]
Carissa: So. You said you trust me.
Why not Kristin? Or Tara?
I trust Kristin.
Colette: But Tara was
up all night with Mary,
last night. That's how
I was able to sneak out.
And, where were you? Carissa: Um.
In my office. Probably asleep.
I slept through Mary's
panic attack the other night.
Colette: After drinking my tea.
Colette: I skipped it last night
and I woke up with no problem.
What are you saying?
Did you drink something last
night that you left unattended?
Uh. Let's not get crazy
here. I worked a double shift.
And Tara...
Tara's been working nights
ever since she got here.
Colette: Ever since Naveah was here.
And Kylie.
Naveah was your friend.
Carissa: Is it a coincidence
that you ended up here?
Or that despite great behavior you aways
seem to miss out on your treatment goals-
when it counts the most?
If it's not a coincidence.
And... Colette: I did get here on purpose.
Then I probably do need
help. Don't you think? Hm.
Colette: Oh. Hey, Tara.
You know there are
cameras on the grounds, right?
Tara: If I access the footage from
last night, will I see you sneaking out-
to destroy and steal someone's property?
Maybe. Would it see
you putting it out there?
I'm allowed to go outside
at night. You're not.
Where is it?
The radio was yours?
Is there a reason you'd be
playing weird, creepy music...
In the woods? In the middle of the night?
Ambient music has been
used in therapy for years.
Ever heard of brown noise?
[ laughs ] That's your story? Cute.
[ laughs ] You...
are on arm's length
for the next two days.
Tara: I'll say it was
for being disrespectful.
Fill in the details if you want.
Make sure to give Kristin your phone.
Tara: That privilege has been revoked.
[ Crickets playing on radio ]
[ Mouths 'What?' ]
[ Static, high-pitched sounds ]
[ High-pitched wail ]
[ High-pitched wails,
Carissa breathing in distress ]
[ Static, high pitched wails ]
[ Carissa breathing heavy ]
[ Noises stop ]
[ Eerie music ]
You're in early.
So are you. Everything okay?
Yeah, I was just checking in
to see how the girls were doing.
Tara: The phone rang
so I came in to answer it.
Who was it?
I didn't reach it in time.
I'm going to step out for dinner
but I'll be back for my shift.
Unless you need me now? Carissa: No.
Go get your dinner, I'll see you soon.
You holding up okay?
Yeah.
Listening to that CD you
gave me a while back.
Carissa: That really helped on the way in.
Glad it helped.
See you later.
[ Pensive music ]
Carissa: All the initials
match up with the names of
former clients who killed
themselves after they left.
Carissa: All but one of them were dismissed
early either for violent behavior.
Or because we felt we weren't a good fit.
What about the other one?
Carissa: Layla actually met her
treatment goals but... same thing.
Carissa: Within a couple
days, she was gone.
Carissa: I remember her. She...
She must've gamed the system.
No one noticed this and...
thought it was weird, before now?
Most of the girls who
come here are either a
danger to themselves
or others to begin with.
Carissa: We don't really keep
track if someone leaves early.
I pray for all of them, believe me. But
I have to focus on who's in front of me.
What do you think is happening?
I don't know.
Carissa: But if you
think Mary's in danger I'll
have the day staff keep a close eye on her.
You, too.
Randy: Hello? Everything okay?
Yeah, I...
I think one of my employees
mistook Mary's phone for hers.
It happens sometimes. Do you
have Find my Phone or Life360? Or?
Randy: Yeah. No problem.
Thank you.
Randy: She hasn't moved for ten minutes.
Randy: If you stay on
56, you should run into her.
Carissa: Thank you. I'll call
you back if I have any problems.
[ Dark, suspenseful music ]
Emma: That turned out pretty neat.
Thanks.
Kinda boring compared to yours.
Well, you're kinda boring compared to me.
Maybe if you tried it on, you'd
pick up some of my personality.
I'd rather kill myself.
Burn. I like it.
What's with all the body parts?
What do you think?
I know you're a good
singer. Are you a dancer, too?
I did ballet when I was younger.
Emma: And contemporary
and hip hop until a year ago.
Emma: I want to get back into it.
It's hard to overthink when
you're too focused on the footwork.
I know it sounds stupid,
but Mary; No it doesn't.
Enough about me. What's with this?
The foil is like a metal face?
A strong face.
Basically.
Emma: You played lacrosse. And...
You're proud of your teeth?
I like to make people laugh.
Yeah, okay.
Emma: You really couldn't find the
words? Or you just being annoying?
When I go home. [ Tender, emotional music ]
And to get home I'll
have to rebuild myself.
Mary: Piece by piece. To believe
all those things about myself.
If that makes sense.
That's deep.
Okay.
[ Emma laughs ] Mary:
I know I look really silly.
[ Emma and Mary talk,
dramatic music on Television ]
[ Mary and Emma talking, muffled ]
[ Reflective, ominous music ]
What are you doing, Colette?
I'm on arm's length, remember?
There's no need for that
after lights out. Not for you.
Go keep Mary company. Tara:
Since when does arm's length have limits?
Since we lost Jill. And I didn't approve
of her being on it in the first place.
Tara: You questioning my
judgment? Carissa: No. I let it stand-
until now. She's not a risk.
She snuck out of the house.
Good. Whatever was on
that CD, it wasn't healthy
and it shouldn't have
been out there to begin with.
That justifies her breaking the rules?
Maybe not. But you're the residential
counselor, I'm the residential manager.
Do you want to keep debating this?
[ Peaceful music ]
I'll be doing bed checks, tonight.
Get some sleep.
Carissa: Hey.
Oh. Hey. What time is it?
You still have a half hour left to sleep. I
just wanted to say happy
birthday before I left.
Thank you. Um, why are you leaving?
I didn't sleep at all last night, I
just need a good five or six hours.
Then I'll meet you and
your aunt at the diner.
Carissa: And then I'll
take you on one of my
favorite hiking trails
before we come back here.
Sounds good. Thanks, Carissa.
You bet.
Alistair: You want to
suspend Tara right now after
losing your only other
dedicated night staff?
She was hiding the
phone behind her back, sir.
Alistair: Okay. And what
was she doing with it?
I don't know. Does it matter?
Alistair: Yes. Did you ask her?
I was planning to when I suspended her.
Alistair: Yeah, that's
not happening. Not now.
Alistair: What she did
deserves a write-up at most.
Alistair: I mean, unless you can
prove something illegal went on.
Alistair: Is there something
more to it you ain't telling me?
I followed her when she
took Mary's phone. And...
Alistair: Unless you want to
incriminate yourself, I'd stop right there.
Alistair: Look, just write
her up, focus on getting
more applications and
just keep things running.
Alistair: Understand?
Carissa: Yes, sir. Thank you.
[ Pensive music ]
Tara: They'll be there around 3:30.
Yep.
Thank you.
Oasis Girls & Kristin:
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday to you"
"Happy birthday dear Colette!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
Carissa: Why didn't you open it, yet?
She told me to wait until
tonight. It's a surprise.
Mmm... You're not smuggling in
anything you shouldn't be, now are you?
Colette: Maybe. [ Both snort ]
Did you get any sleep Carissa: Barely.
But I need to. If I can't get Tara fired-
then I need to make sure
that I'm there when she is.
Yes, you do. Hey, I did some research.
Okay.
So, you know how listening
to that CD made you feel?
Mm. If it was the CD. It
could've just been the long hours.
Colette: Low frequencies can
create fear, discomfort, dizziness.
Blurred vision and hyperventilation.
Sometimes inducing panic attacks.
Interesting. Colette: The lowest sounds
we can hear start at about, like, 20 hertz.
Below that is a range called 'infrasound'.
Colette: And it can be produced
in music and sometimes...
Through other things.
Like static. Like white noise.
And... and we can't hear them?
No, but there are theories that
our minds can fill in the void.
Like, you can't hear it.
Colette: But your body reacts. So.
Maybe your mind reacts, too,
and fills in the sounds for you.
Colette: And um, of course
people think that it opens portals.
To like... demons.
[ Tense music ]
Deep Voice: There are two
explosives on the school grounds.
And a sniper waiting
outside who will blow the
brains out of any student
you try to evacuate.
Call the police if you want. But
do not let any kid step outside-
until I call back with
further instructions.
[ Distant splash ]
[ Tense music continues ]
Olivia: I really hope
that you all stay in touch.
Even if we weren't the best of friends I
genuinely hope that if you need help...
And you need to come back here. Like Rory.
Olivia: In a year or two
I'll probably be an RC here.
[ Phone buzzing ]
One second, girls.
Kristin: Gardyn, is everything okay?
Gardyn: Kristin, I'm so sorry.
I cannot make it in right now.
Gardyn: Apparently, there's been
a bomb threat at Shania's school.
What? Gardyn: I don't know,
they're not telling anybody anything.
Gardyn: One of my friends works there
and she said it was a bomb threat. And.
They're apparently not even letting anybody
near the building but
I'm on my way right now.
I'm so sorry. But I'm sure the
police are doing everything they can.
Don't worry about it. I'll get you covered.
Gardyn: Alright, thank
you, Kristin. [ Phone beeps ]
Just keep me posted, okay?
Gardyn: Okay.
[ Suspenseful music ]
Colette: Isn't this a pedestrian trail?
Sure is. I've got the
license plate. Okay, Karen.
Carissa: What?
He could hurt someone.
I know but it's still kind of
lame to call and report him.
You know what? If you're
going to use a pejorative
term to describe someone
doing the right thing...
Then you're the problem. Do better.
[ Colette laughs ]
Colette: So, did you
bring me all the way out
here just to tell me that I have to leave?
No.
You are potentially taking
a spot from someone else.
Normal capacity is 7 or 8 depending
on the severity of the cases.
I looked it up.
That's correct.
Carissa: And you told us that
your best friend killed herself.
Not that you listened to her die.
That's a lot to handle.
It is why I came here. More
or less. [ Slow, somber music ]
We'll adjust your treatment, and...
Carissa: You just have
to promise me that you'll
be 100 percent honest
with me going forward.
I will. I - I promise. Um.
And I'm sorry I didn't say
anything earlier, it's just...
I had to know. And you would've never
let me in if I had told you everything.
We all make unhealthy choices sometimes.
As you've been learning
our flaws and hurts...
Can be adjusted into
our greatest strengths.
Carissa: And whether I like it
or not... I think you've done that.
Thank you.
[ Static and voices ]
No.
No.
No. [Static and voices fade out ]
[ Moody music ]
I had a feeling you weren't
coming back outside.
I've been able to tune it out, but.
It's louder now than it has been.
We can stop it for good.
Or. You can.
How?
Colette: I always like, you know,
want to recycle but it's just like, so...
[ suspenseful music ]
What's wrong?
There's a guy. Like, he's watching us.
Just - don't look, okay?
Colette: He's behind that tree.
I think it's the guy from earlier.
I think I know another way
around. Let's get off this trail.
Yeah.
Tara: Keep breathing steadily.
Tara: I'm going to count to ten.
Don't count with me
just... focus on my voice.
One. [ Snaps fingers ]
Two. [ Snaps fingers ]
Three. [ Snaps fingers ]
Four. [ Snaps fingers ]
Five. [ Snaps fingers ]
Six. [ Snaps fingers ]
Seven. [ Snaps fingers ]
Eight. [ Snaps fingers ]
Nine. Ten. Eleven. [ Snaps
fingers ] [ sinister, ambient music ]
Twelve. Thirteen. [ Snaps fingers ]
I thought you were counting to ten.
Tara: I stopped at seven. Don't look at it.
Don't look at what?
Tara: Don't look. Find yourself.
Tara: And see where she takes you.
[ High pitched wail, demonic roaring ]
[ Mary panicked breathing ]
Tara: You're okay. You're okay.
You're okay. Mary: It came
when I tried to... you know.
[ Mary catching her breath ]
What the hell?
Tara: For you to get to the place
you were mentally that night. And.
Tara: Considering what Angela was doing.
There were already
negative energies at work.
In the Torah. The - Hebrew bible.
After Cain kills his brother.
Yahweh tells him...
The voice of your brother's blood
cries out to Me from the ground.
Tara: In uh... sacrifice rituals.
Blood is often spilled
on the earth as well.
Tara: Blood has a voice in a
frequency the human ear can't detect.
But other beings can.
When I... Tried to kill
myself, is that how I...
Invited this... thing?
It heard my blood?
Yes.
I believe it was there influencing Angela.
And your circumstances
to push you to do it.
Tara: And when you did it latched onto you.
Tara: Through the sound of your blood.
Tara: There's a phenomenon.
Uh... Auditory pareidolia.
Where the brain interprets
random monotonous sounds...
As voices. Some believe that
spirits can use that noise...
To communicate. And manifest.
How do we stop it?
There are temporary solutions.
But it'll never go away for good unless...
You talk to it.
Tara: In its own language.
How do I do that?
Is he in the car?
I can't tell.
If we hear anything in
the woods or behind us...
Then we'll make a run
for it. Colette: If we don't?
Then we wait.
Colette: I have to pee.
[ Colette humming ]
That reminds me of that um... meme? Like.
Colette: 'Would you rather be alone
in the woods with a bear or a man?'
Um, we wouldn't have been able
to hide from a bear - so a man.
Good choice.
Ow. Ow. Ugh, can we? Shh.
I'm getting a leg cramp.
Shh.
[ Ominous music ]
[ Engine starts ]
We'll be okay. We're okay.
Colette: They're in lockdown?
Looks like it.
Carissa: Wait here. Let
me see what the situation is.
Dark pop song
"I want you to love me"
"I want you to hurt me"
"I want you to save me"
[ suspenseful music ]
What happened? What's going on?
Mary came at me with a crowbar.
I - I don't know what happened, I-
Tara: I locked her in a room
and called the police, but...
I need you to wait here.
No, I - have you seen Carissa?
No, I - I'll look for
her, you just stay here.
No, I have to - I have to
find Carissa. I have to help-
No, we're in lockdown.
That means that you have-
I don't care what that means!
Mary?
Colette: Carissa!
Carissa, wake up!
Colette: Carissa!
Carissa, please.
[ Tense, dramatic music ]
ALEX: If you won't go to the hospital
like I strongly recommend, then...
I would at least say to check
in with your PC in the morning.
Noted.
And if you experience any more
of the symptoms we talked about...
Call for an ambulance or get a
ride to the hospital right away.
I'll do that. Thank you.
Alright. Take care of yourself, ma'am.
You too.
Officer. LIANNA: Yes ma'am?
Any word from the security
company about the cameras?
Yes, unfortunately there was a
disruption in the Wi-Fi service-
Lianna: -about an hour before the incident.
It's back now but there's no
video during that time frame.
What are they doing with Mary?
You shouldn't worry about that right now.
She was in our care for
the last two weeks, Officer.
Her father's picking her
up from the police station.
Neither you or Tara are pressing charges
so I don't think we will be, either.
Lianna: But, don't quote me on that okay?
[ Subtle, emotional music ]
Colette: I'm afraid I'll
hurt you if I hug you
but I was so scared. I
thought you were gone. I-
I really thought you were dead.
I don't know what I would
do without you, Carissa.
Aurora: Is she okay?
Tara: Yeah, I'd say to
come by after breakfast.
Tara: Give her a little
time with the girls, first.
They had a - hell of a night. Ya know?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
ALISTAIR: You know, this really sucks.
I know how close you are to these
girls and you do a great job, but...
I can't do nothing.
You know we have two openings. Two.
And you turn away another qualified
applicant. And you send her away.
And her mother - to - to our competition?
She needs help. That's my job.
Carissa: Until we can hire and things calm
down around here - it's not the right fit.
Carissa: But I wasn't going
to send her away, without-
No, your job is to help people... here.
Alistair: This is not a
referral service. Is it?
The other day we had
a girl run away at night.
And yet you take her out for
her birthday two days later?
Carissa: She didn't run away.
Alistair: She left the
premises without permission.
That could've turned out really bad.
You're right. I'm sorry.
I know you are.
Alistair: And I also know
that everything you do...
Alistair: You do because it's
what you think is best for the girls.
Alistair: I'm not going to
punish you for your intentions.
But the potential
outcomes... that's different.
You're suspended for a week. Without pay.
Look. Why don't you just...
Go away for a couple days. Take a breather.
Come back. Make better choices.
You got someone to
cover my responsibilities?
I think so. You know, between Kristin-
Alistair: Tara. And one
of the directors from
one of our satellites - we should be okay.
Anything more than that...
without you... might break us.
[ Emotional music ]
Olivia: It's kind of like
you're missing my graduation.
I know. But honestly...
Watching you grow the last six months
has been enough of a reward for me.
I owe most of it to you.
That's not true, though.
The RC's, the therapists...
They all put in more
time and work than I did.
Yeah, but you set the tone here.
And that made a huge difference.
And it's evident in us. So thank you.
You're welcome.
I'll write you. Carissa: You better.
And I expect an application sooner or
later. You know we could use the help here.
Olivia: Count on it. And hey, thanks
to you I'm getting some extra practice.
Olivia: Yep. I'm covering
some shifts at Leighman
tonight because the
director's going to be here.
Make me proud.
I'll try. [ Carissa laughs ]
You can hold down the fort here, right?
I will. As long as you back me up.
Of course.
Don't let anything happen to Mary, okay?
I won't.
[ Somber music ] Randy: You need
to come over and eat something.
Randy: Baby, I'm trying to help you.
I've been trying.
Now you are. Took you long enough.
I deserve that.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
I haven't done right by you.
But... we have to move forward.
Moving forward means sending
me to some wilderness camp in Utah?
Where I'll be able to see you once a month?
When the only other
alternative is a psych hospital...
Randy: Yes, I'd say so.
I was doing fine there,
except... Except what?
If I tell you, you'll just
put me in a hospital.
Or on drugs. Nevermind.
Mary, that's not what I
want. I want you to get better.
Then let me go back to Oasis.
That's up to them. And...
They called for me to pick you
up. And they recommended...
Utah.
I'm not hungry right now.
[ Doorbell ]
I'll be back.
Randy: Look, I appreciate
you taking Mary in.
Trust me, I do, but... she was
never violent before she went there.
Now, she's seeing things.
Blanking out. Attacking people.
I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.
You should be. You can see yourself out.
Listen.
Carissa: We've helped so
many young women like Mary.
In fact we had one who came
to us after getting off drugs.
And being abused in terrible ways
and she's graduating in a few days.
I can't take credit but
our team, thank God...
We've changed girls' lives.
I don't doubt any of
that. And good for you.
But, I'm concerned with my daughter.
And not a single thing has
improved since she's been there.
That's not true.
[ Gentle, emotional music ]
Carissa.
I don't know what happened. I
swear, I didn't mean to hurt you.
Mary: I would never do something like that.
I know. You don't have to convince me.
I came here to check on you.
Mary: I learned so much while I
was there. I know it wasn't long, but...
I started coping with my
panic attacks. I had one
while we were home and I
was able to stop it by myself.
That's so awesome. I'm really proud of you.
Carissa: We're going
to figure this out, okay?
So then, why... what the hell happened?
I don't know, Mr. Wilson. No one does.
The security cameras weren't
working at the time, so...
Carissa: The truth isn't out
yet but I am going to find out.
And... Mary.
Carissa: Whatever
happened... I don't blame you.
Please stay strong. And...
Carissa: I will do what I can to get
you back there. If your Dad allows it.
And... in the meantime.
The girls signed this for you this morning.
Carissa: And, um.
Carissa: There's some of
your worksheets in here and...
Carissa: Also I threw in
some new activities and... um...
Carissa: If...
Carissa: If you can
disassociate it from whatever
happened last night - because
you worked so hard on it.
Your power mask is in here, too.
Um... Mary.
You are beautiful.
And... you're so strong.
Carissa: You can survive anything
that life throws at you. Alright?
And more than that -
you're going to thrive.
Just stay the course, okay?
Thank you, Carissa.
You're so welcome.
Uh, could you give us a minute?
I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, but...
One of your workers came
by to apologize for everything.
She said some things about the
way you were running the house that...
Even at the time, I
wasn't sure I believed in.
Randy: I definitely don't, now.
Maybe, uh...
Make sure everyone who's working
there is playing for the same team.
If you know what I mean?
Voice on TV: We don't really
have any other family around.
2nd voice on TV: I'm sure she
appreciates that. [ Moody music ]
Thank you, baby.
We shouldn't stay up
too late, alright? Okay.
[ Voices on TV ]
[ Somber, dramatic music ]
[ Suspenseful, moody music ]
[ Static from phone, snapping fingers ]
Randy?
Mary?
Angie: You want me to leave? Really?
Put the knife down.
Tara: This is your chance. Stop
her and you erase this trauma.
Tara: You win your mind back.
You want the police out here? You
remember who they arrested last time.
No, don't get up.
Don't take another step.
Angela, put the knife down, now.
You think you can stop
me before she's dead?
Tara: You control the way it ends this
time. The way you process your trauma.
[ Shuffling on bed ]
Mary?
No.
Mary is going to kill Carissa.
And most likely her father, tonight.
Why Carissa? Why her Dad?
They've always just...
killed themselves, before.
Because of you bringing things
to light, Carissa knows too much.
Tara: Have to tie up the loose ends, and...
Mr. Wilson, well... [ chuckles ]
Just makes more sense for her to have
a psychotic break and slaughter everyone.
Don't get any ideas.
You try to run, this gets worse for
you. And you're not getting past me.
I'll scream.
Go ahead.
Loose ends, remember?
I don't want to have to kill you.
I've always avoided that. Too messy.
What happens to me?
Most likely...
You'll go back to another
psychiatric hospital.
Tara: But for a lot longer
than two weeks, this time.
You attacked me. That's how I got
these injuries, I was defending myself.
Tara: Ideally, I just
disarm you and get away.
Worst case... I have to hurt you.
To save myself.
[ Distressed breathing ]
Tara: I'll give you credit for
figuring out as much as you did.
I'm impressed.
Why are you doing this?
Tell me.
Tara: When I almost died before...
Coming to a place like this.
I felt... Something.
Tara: As I was slipping away.
Some would call it a presence.
Watching me.
Tara: Waiting for me to go all the way.
It's the only time in my
life I felt like I existed.
I haven't been able to feel
like that ever since except...
By connecting with
these... Weak. Pathetic girls.
Tara: And forcing them to kill themselves.
What is that?
A camera. My aunt gave
it to me for my birthday.
Which, you didn't say,
by the way. [ Laughs ]
Colette: It's going to
my family and my friends.
You thought you had it
all figured out, didn't you?
Gotcha.
Clever.
[ Intense, electronic music ]
[ Colette screams ]
Don't. Please.
Thank you.
Aurora: Hey. Hey, you okay?
As tough as you are, I
really had to come save you?
Go screw yourself, Emma.
Your nose. I'm okay.
[ Dramatic, resilient music ]
Colette?
What time is it, Mary?
What?
Look at the clock on the wall to your left.
Angela: Tell me what time it is.
Wh-what are you doing?
It was dinner time when this happened.
It's 12:34 at night.
What are you waiting for?
Focus on the clock, Mary.
Shoot her.
Past Mary: Now.
Mary: Carissa? Is this some kind of trick?
No. It's me.
Whatever Tara did to you, she's
making you see things. And...
She got into your head.
She was trying to help me.
Carissa: No. No, she wasn't. But I am.
Please, put down the gun.
