Her Fatal Fling (2024) Movie Script

(soft eerie music)
(soft eerie music continues)
(crickets chirping)
What's on your mind?
I think you're great. I really do.
And I'm recently divorced
and I'm not looking for anything serious.
Lately, I've been getting
the feeling that you are.
Hmm.
Okay. Hm.
Out of curiosity,
define more serious.
Eve.
We're both adults and we
knew what we were doing,
I think it's for the best.
You should have thought about all of this
before you started sleeping with me.
(phone buzzing)
(phone beeps)
Hey, I'm in the middle
of something right now.
Can we talk about it on Monday?
I see.
Can you give me a few minutes?
Take your time.
(door whirring) (water trickling)
(somber music)
(door scraping)
(door thuds)
(ominous music)
(door whirring)
(Nick sighing)
[Nick] Sorry about that.
It's quite all right.
Um.
Hey, listen, I,
I think I understand
where you're coming from.
(ominous music)
You do?
Yeah.
Yeah. No, I get it.
I get it. Um.
But hey, we had a good run, huh? (Chuckles)
It's fun while it lasted.
I, I have to admit,
I'm a little surprised
you're taking it so well.
(Eve laughing)
Come on.
You know there's no hard feelings.
Friends.
I'd like that.
(glasses clink)
(ominous music continues)
Mm.
Uh, Nick,
before I leave, um,
can I recite a little poem to you?
Uh.
Sure. Why not?
It's just, uh, one of my favorites.
He seems like the god's equal, that man,
whoever he is,
he takes his seat so close across from you.
He listens rapidly to your lifting voice
and lovely laughter.
(ominous music)
Which as it wafts by,
sets the heart in my rib cage fluttering.
(Nick muttering)
As soon as I glance at you a moment
[Nick] Why?
And my tongue stiffens into silence,
then flames underneath
my skin prickle and spark,
a rush of blood booms in my ears.
And then my eyes go dark.
(ominous music)
Goodbye, Nick.
How do I love thee?
Lemme count the ways.
(ominous music continues)
(upbeat music)
All right, guys. I know it's Saturday.
Um, it's been a big week.
I, uh, really appreciate
all the new followers.
Everyone in the group,
um, welcome for starters.
This group's really about positivity.
We eat well. We live well.
We treat each other well.
(upbeat music continues)
(text pops)
(text pops)
(upbeat music continues)
- Oh my God.
- Jesus.
Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
- I think so.
- Here, sit, sit,
sit down.
(soft music)
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- Here, here, here, here.
Let me have a look.
What are you, a doctor?
What? No, uh, no.
I'm a,
I'm a YouTuber.
So what, you're gonna
treat it with tutorials
or conspiracy rants?
No. (Laughing)
That's pretty funny.
No. Uh.
Does, uh, does this hurt?
A little,
So what kind of YouTuber are you?
I'm, uh,
ah, the, the worst kind.
That's pretty broad.
Yeah. (Laughing)
Um, I make stupid videos.
Try and help people
with their life problems.
- That sounds noble.
- No, it's not.
- No?
- No.
Well, I, uh, I hope this doesn't, uh,
interfere with your running career.
Um, I was aging out of it anyway.
(Aiden laughing)
I'm probably good to go.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Um, well, hey, uh,
can I at least make it
up to you with, uh, dinner
- or something fun?
- Sure. Sure.
Yeah.
Cool.
Um. (Panting)
(soft music)
- I'm Aiden.
- Eve.
Nice to meet you. (Chuckles)
- You too.
- This...
- Cool.
- I guess text me.
Yeah.
(Eve chuckles) Okay.
Okay. (Laughing)
Okay, so, guys, you know what time it is.
It's not three o'clock.
It's not four o'clock.
It's not five o'clock.
It is now. Okay?
So like, subscribe, shoot
me a line in the comments.
I'll write back to you. I promise.
And guys, remember, the past is history.
The future is a mystery.
And I will you in the vortex.
In and out.
(upbeat music)
Nice.
Bruh.
Your life is so hard.
(Aiden laughing)
You can joke all you want, but, uh,
it pays for all of this, bruh.
Well, when I get my
channel off the ground,
I'll be outta your hair.
The funny thing about
getting stuff off the ground is
it's hard when you smoke weed all day
and then watch "Love Island."
Don't judge the process, man.
(Aiden laughing)
Okay. Okay.
Also, don't tell my mom.
She still thinks I'm an accountant.
You can't even do your own taxes.
Can. I just don't want to.
Right. So that's why you
don't ever do the dishes.
Nah, it's just 'cause
you're so much better at it.
Okay, yeah. Thank you.
(upbeat music)
(knife tapping)
Caleb, can you get me some butter?
Caleb?
Butter.
Yeah.
Did you see your follower account today?
You're up like 10K this week.
Mm.
I met a girl on a run today.
(soft music)
- Oh, did you?
- Mm-hmm.
Yep.
I can't stop thinking about her.
I can't get her out of my head.
You get her number?
- Yeah.
- Did you call her?
No, not yet.
(Caleb clearing throat)
Bruh.
What are you waiting for?
I don't know, man.
I don't want to,
I don't wanna come across
as desperate, you know?
Oh, come on, mister
now I'll see you in the vortex.
I think you should strike
while the iron is hot.
(upbeat music) (phone dings)
(Aiden blowing)
Bruh, chill.
She'll text back.
What if she doesn't?
Wow. You must really like this one.
Yeah, I don't know.
She's got this like
magnetic quality about her.
I don't know.
Like a movie star?
Yeah. Kind of.
(upbeat music continues)
(ominous music)
Oh!
(upbeat music continues)
- What'd she say?
- Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles.
Bubbles, bubbles. Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
We are having dinner this week.
Nice! Where at?
I thought I, um, invite her over here.
To the house?
Yeah.
So you're gonna cook dinner
for her here at the house?
Yeah. What, is that weird?
Yeah. Kind of.
You hardly know her.
Okay. All right.
She could be like a stalker or whatever.
- Really?
- I'm just saying.
And since when do you
give out relationship advice?
Because you've been single
for, uh, wit, how long is this?
Sophomore year. That's besides the point.
Mm-hmm.
(ominous music)
(upbeat music)
(singer vocalizing)
Yeah. Top notch.
(Aiden chuckling)
Mm.
(glasses clinking)
(Aiden chuckles)
[Aiden] I had no idea you
were such an animal lover.
Yeah. I mean, I used to
wanna be a veterinarian.
Why didn't you?
I had to start working pretty early on.
Well, I, uh, (clear throat)
I used to want to be a pilot.
Used to?
Yeah.
But, uh,
couldn't pass the exams,
because I'm colorblind, so.
Hm. (Chuckles)
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm sorry. It's not funny.
- It's not funny.
(both laughing)
I'm sorry to hear that. Honestly.
No, don't be. It's fine.
- Um.
- What kind of, uh,
music do you like?
You know, Taylor
Swift, Rihanna, the usual.
Yeah. (Eve chuckles)
I wasn't allowed to listen to music
until I moved away from home.
(eerie music)
Why is that?
My parents were just a
bit on the, the strict side.
With music?
With everything.
Well, lovely dinner,
but it's getting late, so.
Oh, yeah, uh... Sorry.
- Yeah, no, of course.
- Overstay.
Leave this. I've got this.
- Yeah.
- I'll walk you out.
(both chuckling)
- Really nice time tonight.
- Yeah. Uh.
You're
real easy to talk to.
Am I? (Chuckles)
Yeah. (Chuckles)
No... Having
[Ted] Hey neighbor!
Uh, Ted. Hey!
- Oh my gosh.
- Hey, Ted. Hey.
Uh, how's Emmy doing?
Uh, she's a gem. (Grunting)
Not too big on walking her leash yet.
Well, unless it's on her terms.
[Aiden] Yeah. (Ted chuckles)
Other than that, she's a fit as a fiddle.
(Aiden laughing)
Uh, I'm sorry. Uh.
Ted, this is Eve. Eve, Ted.
- Ah.
- Ted lives in the back house.
Oh!
It's nice to meet you Eve.
You too.
Gosh!
She is so friendly.
Yeah. She loves animals and people.
Well, adults that is.
For some reason she
barks at little kids. (Laughing)
I don't blame her. (Laughing)
Oh, she's the cutest.
Yeah. She can be a little rascal.
So, how do you two know each other?
Uh, we met on,
we were jogging.
- Jogging.
- Yeah.
- We ran into each other.
- Yeah.
Ah, so is this a date tonight?
Yes, it's a date, Ted. Yes.
So Ted, where'd you get Emmy?
Oh, it's actually, it's a funny story.
You know, my sister's
husband, Terry, lives in Missouri.
And... I'm sorry, Ted.
I'm so sorry. I think your
Uber's on the way, so.
Sorry, Ted, we gotta, yeah.
No. Okay. (Chuckles)
Well, you guys have a nice evening.
- Thank you.
- You too.
[Aiden] Yeah. Good to see you.
- Friendly.
- He is.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. I'm sorry about that.
(both laughing)
Don't be sorry.
No, it's, um.
That is your Uber. (Laughing)
Yeah.
Uh, can I,
- text you maybe?
- I'll text you.
Yeah. Okay, good.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
[Eve] Okay. Night.
Bye.
(upbeat music)
Hello, ladies and gents. Welcome!
On this beautiful day,
we have Jenna Contreras here.
Hello.
She's agreed to do
the 100 pushup challenge
where 100% of the money raised today
will go to the Landry Suicide
Awareness Foundation.
Hi, everyone. (Aiden laughing)
Jenna, now how are
you feeling? You ready?
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
Okay. All right.
Let's do this. Get down on the mat.
Let's go. She's after it.
Let's go. (Jenna grunting)
That's all. Let's look at that.
Strong arms. Strong arms.
- Yeah.
- Great.
(Jenna grunting)
She's got it.
Almost there. Almost there.
- Oh my gosh.
- 100, one more.
100! She did it.
- She's done it!
- Oh my God.
- Get up. Get up.
- That was insane.
How are the arms? How are the arms?
Not good. (Both laughing)
Sweating. I'm sweating.
- All right, guys.
- Oh my God.
Amazing. She did it.
I can't believe this. It
is beauty and brawn.
- Okay, look at that.
- Oh.
Thank you. (Laughing)
Now, guys, tomorrow tune in.
We will be announcing
the winner of today's raffle.
Now the winner gets to be flown out to LA
to have brunch with myself
and the lovely Jenna here.
Okay?
Thank you guys so much.
So excited to meet you all.
Yeah. Guys, like, subscribe.
Press the buttons. You know the deal.
- Okay?
- Woo!
We'll see you tomorrow.
Keep those pushups coming. Let's go.
Thank you all.
(ominous music)
Eve, as you know, the organization
has arranged for me to be your therapist.
Your attendance here will
be submitted to the state
to fulfill your acquired 50
sessions mandated by the court.
As you're aware, this session
is completely confidential,
unless of course, you're at risk
of inflicting harm upon
yourself or somebody else.
Do you understand?
Mm-hm.
I need you to verbalize
your answer for me.
Yeah, I got it.
Great. Let's begin.
How have things been
going for you this week?
(soft music)
You know, fine, I guess,
Have you noticed any side effects
from the increased
dosage of the medication?
So far, so good.
Good deal. Any recent episodes?
Nope.
Have you given any more thought
to, um, what we discussed last time?
No.
I'm wondering if you've had any more,
any more memories about that day?
(ominous music)
I haven't.
I see.
Listen, Eve.
I know this is hard. It's really hard.
What happened to you
should never happen to anyone,
let alone a child.
This kind of trauma
can have a lasting effect,
and it doesn't go away overnight.
Yeah, I know.
I know you understand intellectually,
but I'm not so sure you
understand the gravity.
I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
Do you get that?
(ominous music)
(upbeat music)
(phone buzzing)
Hey, Eve.
Hey.
How are you?
I'm okay. How about you?
Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
You know, just hustling,
bustling, doing all of that.
I, sorry, I don't know
why I even said that.
I've never said that in my life. (Laughing)
Um. What are you up to tonight?
Uh.
Uh, tonight I have this, um,
is this work gallery thing
that I can't get out of.
Okay. Maybe we can get
together tomorrow night then.
No, I, I would really love that.
Honestly, I, I really would.
Uh, I, I've got, I gotta
do these work meetings
the next couple days, but
can I call you after that?
I, I mean, yeah, sure. Of course.
Great, great. Okay.
Um. Well, I'm looking
forward to seeing you soon.
All right, bye.
(ominous music)
That sounds amazing.
Um, I'm in Tulum next week, though,
so let's touch base when I'm back.
Oh, hey, I'm pulling up
to my next appointment.
I'll call you later. Okay?
(ominous music)
(handle clicking)
Um. Excuse, excuse me.
Uh. (Door clicks)
Um. Can you unlock this, please?
Um. (Door thuds)
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. I, I really love your music.
Oh, you're a fan. Okay.
Big time. (Jenna sighing)
Um, do you want like an
autograph or something?
I, I would love that.
Okay.
Who can I make it out to?
Um. Eve, please.
Eve. That's a pretty name.
Thank you. Wow.
This'll be really valuable soon.
Soon. What do you mean?
Well, celebrity memorabilia increases
in value following their passing.
So ironic, right?
(ominous music continues)
Uh. I, I think I need to go now.
Can you please unlock this door?
(Jenna grunting) (foot thudding)
(singer vocalizing)
(door clicks)
(ominous music)
Hey.
Hey, Eve. I didn't, uh, expect you to...
Yeah. Sorry to just show up unannounced.
I wanted to drop off something
to make your work week a little sweeter.
(Aiden chuckles)
Thank you. (Chuckles)
That's super thoughtful.
Is everything okay?
Uh. Yeah, yeah.
No, not really actually.
Do you want to talk about it?
No. It's, um, it's just that I'm supposed
to do this live stream in like
10 minutes with this guest,
Jenna, and I've been
trying to get a hold of her.
I can't.
It's...
Um.
Is there anything I can do to help?
All right, listen guys,
I know we're expecting to see Jenna today.
Unfortunately, she couldn't make it,
but we are still gonna
announce today's big winner.
And what's a host without a trusty co-host?
Everyone, this is Eve.
And she's gonna help me
announce today's lucky winner.
Hi, everyone. (Chuckles)
Okay, Eve. So we got the hat here.
We got the names. All right,
you're gonna close your eyes.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay. Close.
- Yeah.
- Now you're gonna reach in
and you're gonna pull
out a name over there.
You got it, you got it.
- Okay.
- Okay. You got one?
- She's got one.
- Got it.
Hold on, guys. Okay.
Open your eyes.
And the winner is..
The winner is Megan
Miller from Des Moines, Iowa.
Congratulations, Megan. That is awesome.
You are getting flown out to LA
to have brunch with
myself and Jenna Contreras,
and we are so excited.
We cannot wait. Guys, tune in tomorrow.
Same time, same place. You know the drill.
And of course, Eve, tell us how do we, uh,
how do we follow you?
Oh. I'm not really on social media.
You're not on...
(Aiden laughing)
Okay.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
we got a true unicorn here.
Not on social media.
All right, guys, well, thank you so much.
Congratulations to Megan.
We will see you tomorrow.
All right. Thanks for watching.
Oh, you really, you saved my ass today.
(Eve laughing)
I actually, I enjoyed
it. I had a lot of fun.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
(soft music)
You know, it's, uh, it is weird though.
Jenna hasn't called me
- At all?
- Yeah, no.
Her agent hasn't been able to get onto her.
It's not like her to just disappear.
That is weird.
Um.
I hope she's okay.
Yeah, me too.
Cheers.
(glasses clink)
You know, you're, uh,
you're a natural on camera, by the way.
(Eve chuckles)
- Really?
- Yeah.
Thank you.
(glass clinking)
Hey, come here.
Hm?
(soft ominous music)
(phone buzzing)
(ominous music)
Hello?
Yeah, Helen. Hi.
Yeah. No, I was trying to, I was...
What? (Solemn music)
No, no. I was, I...
She was supposed to meet...
No.
Oh.
Uh, yeah.
I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry.
I, I...
Thank, yeah, thank you for,
thank you for letting me know.
Um, if there's any(dial tone beeping)
What was that about?
Uh.
It was...
Yeah, man, uh, that was Jenna's manager.
She said that she's been murdered.
No way.
(solemn music continues)
She said that they
found her body in an alley.
(ominous music)
(birds chirping)
- Here you go, buddy.
- Yes.
[Caleb] Yeah, buddy.
Man, I can't believe someone
would do that to Jenna.
I know.
Maybe it was like a crazy
fan or a stalker or something.
- Oh damn.
- What?
I got that competition
where they're flying in tonight.
You know, the brunch thing.
It's supposed to be with Jenna tomorrow.
What are you gonna do?
Well, I, I guess I just go by myself.
Try and explain what happened.
I'm pretty sure she's
read the news by now
so hopefully it doesn't
come as a total surprise.
Yeah, I hope so.
- I gotta go, man.
- All right.
(ominous music)
(engine whirring)
(gears clicking)
(window whirring)
(keys click)
(door clicks)
(soft music)
This is amazing.
(woman knocking)
(ominous music)
- Hi!
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.
(Aiden and fan chattering)
(birds chirping) (water trickling)
So you're, uh, an athlete.
What's your sport?
Mostly soccer,
but I'm actually studying
sports medicine right now.
Oh, awesome. I love the medical field.
Yeah. Like which part?
Uh, the medical part.
(both laughing)
You're not actually... No, I'm not.
I'm not, but I'm only doing (indistinct).
Okay.
So what are you interested in,
aside from live streaming your life,
the frequent pushup challenges?
Is that all you think I do?
I mean, okay.
If you weren't doing what you're doing now,
what would you wanna do?
Uh. (Laughing)
I don't know. I guess maybe music.
Music. I actually grew
up playing the cello.
Oh really? I love the cello.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
(both laughing)
So have you ever written anything?
Oh no, I just play around, you know?
Well, maybe you don't play me something.
(ominous music continues)
Um.
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Mm.
But
it's been a while, okay?
So you, you know, be nice. You can't judge.
I won't.
I promise. You know, I promise.
If I don't like it, I'll lie.
Good. Okay, good.
That's alright. It makes
me feel better. (Indistinct)
[Fan] Okay. I, I promise
if I don't like it, I'll lie.
Make me feel good, please. (Laughing)
Ah.
- It's been a while.
- It's okay.
You got it.
(guitar strums)
Counting down from 60 in my head
Counting down the
things I wish I'd said
We know
That I could be all alone
And that'd still be in my
Head
Oh my gosh, that was so good.
I loved it.
[Aiden] Can you show me what you know?
[Fan] I don't know how.
[Aiden] Come on, it's just like a cello.
No, it's not. (Both laughing)
(Eve laughing)
Anyways, um, how'd it
go with the raffle winner?
Yeah. No, it was, um,
it was good.
I think she had a good time.
That's good.
Considering, you know, everything.
Yeah. Um.
It breaks my heart about Jenna, honestly.
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry that happened.
Yeah. Thanks.
Dessert?
- That's a lot of greens.
- You'll love it.
Trust me.
[Caleb] Dude. Have you seen the news?
No. What's up?
That girl that came over for the contest.
She was in a car accident last night.
(ominous music)
What?
What, like what, is she all right?
No, no. I'm sorry, man.
No.
Like wait, wait, what do you mean?
What, what, what happened?
The, the article said
like her brake cables
had been cut or something.
What?!
[Caleb] The police are looking into it.
They suspect foul play.
Wait, no, wait a second.
First, Jenna, now this. What is going on?
- It's crazy.
- Geez, baby. I'm so sorry.
Wait, uh, do,
do her parents know?
Yeah, they're flying in town right now
to identify the body.
Uh. Okay.
Uh, maybe, maybe, I, I, I should,
I should meet them at the airport and, um
Are you sure you wanna do that?
Well, yeah, like offer
support or something, or...
I can't imagine what
they must be going through.
Yeah. It's, it's such a shame.
- Um.
- Okay. Uh.
Hey, I gotta, I gotta
get to an appointment,
but I'll come back after.
Uh. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. (Lips smacking)
Sorry.
[Caleb] Hm.
So what does Aiden do for work?
He's an accountant.
And where do you see
things going with him long term?
I haven't really thought
that far ahead yet.
Mm-hm.
Well, it sounds like
you have really strong feelings for him.
I guess I do. Yeah.
Okay.
Have you told him about your history?
I haven't found the right time yet,
(soft music)
And I don't really see why I need to.
That's all in the past.
It's not who I am anymore.
Right.
Darling, it will all come
out eventually. Eve.
Eve, I've learned that
it's best to be honest,
right up front.
I'll tell him when the time's right.
Have you given any more thought
to what we discussed about your father?
Not really.
Are you able to recall any
more details from that day?
I already told you everything I remember.
Well, what about what
happened with your fiance?
Have you had had any
new realizations about that?
He was abusive.
I think
we should consider exploring that.
The origin of your troubles.
- Yeah. Go on, have another.
- It stems
from your experience as a child.
- I will have another.
- And I think that's
I'll have three, why not?
(indistinct).
(ominous music)
Three drinks. You think I'm drunk?
- You can't even stand.
- I'm standing just fine.
You don't believe.
You don't care about what we're doing here.
You don't...
- Sad.
- Sad. You're Sad.
- You're sad!
- Sad little man.
[Father] Why can't you be quiet for once?
[Mother] Why do you have
to yell at me all the time?
(hand slaps)
- Bitch! Shut up!
Eve, you okay?
(soft music)
Eve?
Eve, are you okay?
I'm fine.
What just happened?
Nothing. Let go of it.
Um. Thank you for coming tonight.
You know, I've been feeling a little down
with, uh, everything
that's been going on, so.
Yeah. I can only, only imagine.
Mm-hm.
Hey, can I, uh, ask you something personal?
Yeah. Anything.
Have you ever
lost anybody?
(soft music)
Mm.
Yeah, I, I have.
I lost my parents pretty early on.
It was a freak accident.
Oh, I'm, (clearing throat)
I'm really sorry.
I didn't, I didn't know.
It's okay. It was a long time ago.
You know, you can, um,
tell me anything.
(soft music continues)
You're the first person I've been with
where I feel like that's true.
(lips smacking)
You wanna go watch a movie? Something?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
[Aiden] Yeah. Sounds good.
[Man] Don't you see,
Lee? It's what he wants.
He told you so himself.
[Man] Oh, you are exaggerating things.
But his heart (indistinct) are broken.
[Father] You're disgusting. Look at you.
- You're disgusting.
- You shut up!
- Sad little man.
- Shut up.
(hand slaps) (mother screams)
Shut up!
Why are you always talking? Shut up!
- Stop!
- Hey, hey, go to your room.
- Leave her alone.
- Go to your room.
- Don't talk to her!
- Shut up.
- Don't touch me.
- Stop!
- Don't touch me.
- Stop!
- You never believe!
- Get off her!
You never believe!
You brought this on yourself!
[Woman] I don't know,
I must been blind not
Can we turn this off?
[Woman] First you
got him out of business.
And as soon as I left,
you got him out his home.
Yeah. Of course.
Was it too violent for you?
Everything he had...
I don't like fighting
in movies.
- Where's the remote?
- His money, his home,
his business, all of it.
[Aiden] Uh.
Just robbed him of
the... Aiden, where is it?
Here. Here.
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Eve!
(glass shattering)
What the hell are you doing?
(soft music)
Are you...
Eve.
You okay?
[Eve] I am so sorry.
[Aiden] It's okay. What's going on?
My parents fought a lot when,
when I was younger, so,
I just get memories.
Do you wanna talk about it?
No. No, I think I should
[Aiden] Hey, hey, hey.
I'm fine. I'll replace the TV.
It just... Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry. I, I need to go.
Do you want...
Eve?
(suspenseful music)
(Aiden sighing)
(water rushing)
Turn it off.
Turn it off.
Eve! (Glass shattering)
Eve.
Are you okay?
(suspenseful music continues)
(ominous music)
(beat thumping)
(ominous music)
(dramatic music)
What are you doing here?
What do you think, silly?
No, no!
Ah!
Ah.
(handle creaking)
(ominous music)
(door creaking)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music continues)
(ominous music)
(door creaking)
Oh my God! (Lindsay yelling)
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God.
Lindsay, what the hell are you doing here?
I tried to call you.
I'm heading up to Yosemite.
Came over to borrow camping gear.
I almost hit you in the head.
I'm sorry.
Well, what about like, call ahead?
A bit of notice.
Okay, I will. Sorry.
Oh my God.
Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Yeah. You seem more on edge than usual.
No, I'm fine. I just...
What's going on?
No, I'm just having trouble sleeping.
- Okay.
- Getting to sleep.
[Lindsay] Fine.
(Lindsay sighing)
What are you looking for?
Ugh. Like everything.
(Lindsay sighing)
Why don't you just come with me?
Oh my God.
You used to love camping.
- Used to.
- Come on.
You could live stream it
or whatever it is you do.
Uh-huh.
(Lindsay sighing)
Please?
Maybe next time.
Fine. Whatever you say, little bro.
Oh God. Gimme that.
(Lindsay laughing)
- God.
- You're so weak.
[Aiden] Oh. Shut up. (Laughing)
Don't take this the wrong way,
but you look like hell.
Yeah. Thanks.
Yes. It's been a long week.
Ah, all right, well. I'll
see you when I get back.
Just take some vitamins or whatever.
Uh-huh. Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(Aiden laughing)
(door creaking) (Aiden sighing)
(person knocking)
It's open.
(person knocking)
It's, o...
Linds. I said it was.
Who's Linds?
(ominous music)
Uh.
My sister.
- Oh, um.
- Hi. (Laughing)
Right. Um.
I just came by to apologize.
Oh.
And I wanted to make it up to you.
It's fine.
I'm serious. I insist.
(Aiden chuckles)
Oh, hey.
Hi again.
Uh, Eve, this is Lindsay. Lindsay, Eve.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Well, I'll be really quick.
Just forgot the flashlight.
Uh-huh. Okay.
[Lindsay] Aiden, can
you help me for a sec?
What? Yeah.
Uh. One minute.
(ominous music continues)
(door clicks)
What? Lindsay, what is going on?
(door thud)
What is with that girl?
What do you mean? (Lindsay sighing)
Just super weird vibes, dude.
You don't even know her.
I don't know.
There's just, there's there's
something off about her.
I can't put my finger on it,
but if I were you, I
would keep my distance.
Well, it's kinda maybe
a little too late for that
'cause we're kind of dating.
Oh.
Aiden.
Okay, fine. I can't tell you what to do.
Just don't get murdered.
(Aiden laughing)
Thank you, sis. Thank you.
(Aiden sighing)
(ominous music)
Bye, Aiden. It's nice to meet you, Eve.
- You too. Drive safe.
- Mm-hmm.
Enjoy Yosemite.
- Should we get going?
- Uh.
Yeah. Yeah.
Let me, let me change first.
Be really quick.
(ominous music continues)
[Eve] Your sister seems really nice.
Yeah. Oh, she's great.
What's the age difference?
Two years.
I always wish I had an
older sister growing up.
Oh, well you, uh,
you might have saved yourself
some serious therapy not having one.
Mind you though, no, it is,
it's good having someone who understands
what it's like being in your crazy family.
Your family was crazy?
Isn't every family crazy? (Laughing)
I just wish I had a
sibling who understood
what it was like to live with my parents.
(ominous music)
What were they like?
Um.
A bit too religious, which
was never really my thing.
Hm. Religious.
[Eve] Yeah.
Yeah. There's the electronic store.
So, uh, what type of, uh, religious?
Like fire and brimstone
or sage and crystals?
It's the kind that eats
you from the inside out.
Does that scare you?
What? No. (Laughing)
No, it doesn't scare me.
It just... You look scared.
What? No.
No, I'm not scared.
I'm just...
Let's, uh, let's get some TVs.
(handle clicks)
(ominous music)
Can you unlock the door?
(button clicks)
Eve, unlock the door
(button clicks)
(handle clicks)
Eve.
The lock's broken. Relax.
(button clicks)
(door clicks)
(soft music)
(door thuds)
- You got it?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks for that.
It's really nice.
It's honestly, the least I could do.
Um. Do you wanna watch a movie tonight?
Uh.
I promise I won't throw
anything at the screen this time.
(Aiden chuckles)
Yeah, sure.
That sounds...
Sounds good.
Sounds good.
(lips smacking)
Aiden. What's wrong?
I noticed your tattoo the other night.
I've never seen anything like
that. What's, what's it mean?
It's embarrassing.
Just a night out in college
after too much tequila
led to a bad decision.
I thought, I thought
you didn't go to college.
Um, not college
college. It was art school.
Oh, okay.
[Eve] Speaking of art,
there's a new documentary
out about Salvador Dali.
I heard it was really good.
Should we watch that?
[Aiden] Yeah. Sounds good.
Hey, love doves.
- Hi, Caleb.
- What's up, dude?
How's it going, Eve?
Good. Good.
What's with the new TV out front?
Eve bought it for us.
[Caleb] Nice.
Um.
Actually, babe, I have
to get to an appointment,
but I can come back
later and help you set it up.
It's fine. I'm sure Caleb will help me.
Okay. Well, see you tonight then?
Yeah.
Okay.
(lips smacking)
Bye.
- Bye, Caleb.
- Bye.
Ah.
Dude.
You two are getting pretty serious, huh?
Yeah, I guess.
And she got you a new TV.
(both laughing)
Yeah, she felt bad about losing
her temper the other night, so.
Take it from me, brother.
A broken TV is the worst
of it, you're doing great.
(both laughing)
Maybe just watch comedies from now on.
Yeah.
What are you not telling me?
I mean, she's got this
weird tattoo thing.
It's, I don't know, it's
like a Roman symbol.
It's... Okay.
Hot?
Yeah.
Except when I first
saw it, I thought it was,
I don't know, I thought
something was wrong,
so I looked it up and
it's connected to this cult.
What kind of cult?
Like,
kind of dark stuff cults.
How dark are we talking?
Mass suicide, branding
of women kind of dark.
Damn. What does it look like, the tattoo?
Um.
Holy shit! I know that symbol.
It's that cult from the early 2000s.
The, um, light of something.
It's, what else?
It's so hard to find anything online, so.
Yeah, they did a big cleanup campaign
to clear their name after
the mass suicide hit the news.
What else do you know?
They're into satanic worship,
shrouded new age verbiage,
general brainwashing, branding
kids at a very young age.
You know, what if Eve was,
I don't know, like involved in,
since she was a kid or something?
Well, you don't know the whole story.
Maybe she was roped into it
and left it all behind a long time ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
And how are things going with Aiden?
I think it's going really well.
I'm glad to hear that.
Yeah, I haven't felt this
way about anyone before.
Sounds like it's getting pretty serious.
(phone chimes and buzzes)
Is everything all right?
Everything's fine.
(soft music)
[Therapist] You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah. Um.
Do you mind if we end
a little early tonight?
I don't, but Eve, you
know this is court mandated.
I can't sign off on your forms
unless we complete the hour.
Okay?
So why don't we circle back
to what we discussed last
week about your father?
I don't really see how that helps,
talking about it over and over again.
Look, I know it's not easy,
but let's stay with it.
I just want be done
with that part of my life.
Well, you can't be done with it
until you've fully dealt with it, darling.
It's a fact, not an opinion.
[Father] Three drinks.
You think I'm drunk?
- You can't even stand.
- I'm standing just fine.
You don't believe.
You don't care about what we're doing here.
You don't... Eve.
- Sad.
- Sad. You're sad.
- You're sad!
- Eve!
(mother screams)
- Shut up!
(soft music continues)
It's okay.
You are okay.
Trust me on that.
(soft fast music)
(phone chimes and buzzes)
(phone thuds)
(items thudding)
(insects chirping-)
(ominous music)
- Uh. Hello?
- Hi, Ted.
- Can I help you?
- Eve.
Remember, we met a few weeks ago?
Oh right.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was, uh, I was just
helping Aiden out with, um
Oh, oh, guys having trouble
with the electrical too, huh?
- You too?
- Yeah.
(Eve laughing)
Yeah, he's got me out
here checking the wiring.
Oh, putting you to work, huh?
Always, always.
- Um.
- Oh.
A package for him
actually came to my house.
I'm just gonna deliver it to him.
Uh.
Actually, Ted, do you think
you would help me out?
I, I have no idea what
I'm doing. (Laughing)
- Uh, sure. Yeah, no problem.
- Um.
I can't seem to figure
out which wires go where.
Let's see what we're working with here.
[Eve] I was thinking maybe
like a rat chewed 'em something.
This red one here
seems to be the culprit.
- Really?
- Yeah. I'm sure
(brick thuds) (dramatic music)
(metal clanking)
You could say that again.
(ominous music)
Hey.
Hey, Eve.
I didn't, uh, I didn't expect you to
Sorry to just show up.
Um, I wanted to drop off
the sweater the other night.
Yeah, no, it's fine. Come, come in.
- Come in.
- Okay.
(door clicks)
I thought you said you
were gonna be outta town.
Yeah, no, I was, um,
my trip got delayed a couple days 'cause
Hey, sorry to interrupt.
Um, Aiden. The hospital called back.
Yeah, I'm,
I'm still here because Ted
ended up in the hospital.
My god. What happened?
[Caleb] Someone jumped
him outside the house last night.
Hit him in the head with a brick.
He nearly bled to death
before we found him.
- Yeah.
- Is he, is he gonna be okay?
Yeah. I mean, the hospital said
that he is in critical condition,
but yeah, he's gonna, he's gonna make it.
Thank goodness.
Uh, listen, I got, I've gotta pack.
I don't mean to kick you
out or anything like that,
but, uh, I should get ready.
And so my head is all over the place.
I was just in the neighborhood. Um.
I should get going.
Yeah. I'll...
- Uh. Thank you.
- There's that.
- Thank you.
- Um, See you?
- Soon. Yeah.
- Okay.
(ominous music)
(door clicks)
(monitor beeping)
(door creaks and thuds)
Hi, Ted.
You know, you really
left me with no choice.
Aiden and I are meant to be together.
You're just collateral damage.
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
[Aiden] Yeah. Uh, Ted McIntyre's room.
[Man] Well, he just got out of surgery
and is in the recovery room.
May I ask who's calling?
Yeah, it's, uh, it's Aiden Williams.
[Man] Yeah. Right. You're the neighbor.
- Yes.
- Look, I think it's best
if you call later and let him rest for now.
Okay. Is there a time
that I can come visit?
[Man] You can come
at three o'clock today.
Oh, by the way, I think your
girlfriend was here earlier.
- Uh, my girlfriend?
- Yeah. A nice girl.
I think her name was Elle or something.
(soft music)
Hey, Ted.
Ted?
Ted?
Nurse!
Nurse, he's not breathing!
Nurse. Come in here!
I need help.
(suspenseful music)
I just can't, I can't
stop thinking that like,
why, why would Eve go
and visit him at the hospital?
I mean, she barely knew him.
Maybe she stopped
by to bring him flowers?
What, for a guy that she met once?
(suspenseful music continues)
It is kind of odd.
Why wouldn't she tell me
that she was gonna go visit him?
And how did she even
know what hospital he was in
or, or his last name?
I think you better call her.
I'm not used to seeing clients this late.
(therapist clearing throat)
Well, I appreciate you fitting me in.
I didn't wanna miss my quota.
Is that how you see
this as a, as a quota?
Isn't it?
Hmm.
You all right?
I'm fine.
Looks like there's
something on your mind.
Last time I saw you, seemed
like you were very upset.
You wanna talk about it?
(soft music)
Not really.
Hmm, Eve, these sessions
aren't gonna go anywhere
if you aren't willing to
face that part of your past.
That's just a, a matter of that.
I keep telling you,
I don't want to talk about that anymore.
Okay.
What do you want to talk about?
Actually,
I'd like to know something about you, Ron.
What would you like to know?
- Are you married?
- Yes.
- For how long?
- About 31 years.
- Any kids?
- Yes. A boy and a girl.
[Eve] How old are they?
My son is 30 and my
daughter is about to be 22.
I was 13 when my mom died.
I really wish I could have saved her,
but that's just not the way
the cookie crumbled I suppose.
What really happened on that day?
I told you to stop asking me that.
I know, I just want to help you.
(suspenseful music)
[Eve] I don't want your help.
[Therapist] Eve, you can't
keep running from the past.
You always... Get away from me!
- Be quiet about!
- Stop! Stop!
You never believe, do you?
- Stop, you're hurting her!
- You never believed!
- You never believed!
- Dad, please, stop!
You brought this on yourself!
You brought it on yourself!
Ah! (Groaning)
(ominous music)
Eve, what have you done?
(father groaning)
Eve, give me that knife and sit down.
Eve.
Eve, please.
Eve.
Eve.
Sit down.
I, I'm so sorry.
I don't know what came over me.
(soft music)
Please don't report this.
I see.
Um.
You know, Ron,
I know a lot more about you than you think.
Your kids, they go or
they went to St. Mary's.
Your wife, she works at
Kramer and Associates.
You are a smart man.
Think about it.
I know you'll keep what happened
here between the two of us.
(feet thudding)
Hi, it's me. Leave a message.
(phone thuds)
(suspenseful music)
(phone chimes and buzzes)
(singer vocalizing)
What's going on, bro?
You get a hold of her?
Uh.
No.
You know, I just, I can't get this.
Light of Raden thing outta my head.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I need to know how she was involved.
What's her last name again?
Uh.
Hollis.
Hollis, Hollis.
(suspenseful music continues)
What's the Eve short for?
Evelyn?
Oh my god.
It's pages and pages of results.
"Former Light of Raden Cult Member.
Convicted of Attempted Murder."
Oh God, man.
Says here she was convicted
of trying to murder her
fiance two years ago,
but she pled insanity
and was sentenced to two years
in a maximum security cycle.
Jesus, man.
Says here her last
name's Riley, not Hollis.
Wait, what?
(singer vocalizing)
(keys clicking)
(phone dings)
What she say?
She's gonna come over soon.
You want me to stay?
No, no, it's fine. You've got plans.
You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll be fine.
Be careful, man.
- Have fun.
- All right. I will.
(insects chirping)
(ominous music) (person knocking)
(Aiden sighing)
(ominous music continues)
Hi.
[Aiden ] Hey.
- Can I come in?
- Yeah, of course.
(ominous music continues)
(door clicking)
You're all dressed up.
I have a party to go to later.
(Even sighing)
Wanna sit?
(ominous music)
Uh.
We need to talk.
Oh my God, you sound so serious.
What is going on with you?
I know you went to the hospital.
The nurse told me that
you went to visit Ted.
Yeah, I felt bad about
what happened to him.
I just wanted to bring him some flowers.
How'd you even know
what hospital he was in?
I saw it on the news.
(ominous music continues)
By the way, I am
really sorry for your loss.
He seemed like such a great guy.
(ominous music continues)
H-how did you even,
how'd you even know that he died?
(ominous music continues)
Aiden, are, are you
accusing me of something here?
Mm.
So what did you really
ask me here to talk about?
Did you wanna talk about it in the bedroom?
Look, I, I know you're not,
you're not who you say you are.
Okay?
Look, I know your last name's not Hollis.
Okay? It's Riley, isn't it?
That was a long time ago.
(ominous music continues)
What about your, uh, fiance?
[Eve] And that was an accident.
(ominous music continues)
Look, I just, stop lying to me.
Just tell me the truth, okay?
I, I, I know, what about you start
with the light of Raden stuff, huh?
I know you grew up in a cult.
All right. Are you still
involved with that?
No! I'm not.
I was just a little girl
when all of that happened.
Geeze.
When, what happened?
(ominous music continues)
Eve!
I, I couldn't stop him.
He had just kept hurting her
and I couldn't stand it anymore.
I had to do something.
No one could stop him.
(Eve sighing)
And I would do it all
over again if I had to.
Do what?
(ominous music continues)
I stabbed him between the ribs
and he bled out on the living room floor.
That's what happens to
bad daddy's, I suppose.
I have no idea who you are.
You do know who I am.
These last few months, it
didn't mean anything to you?
No, I, I'm...
Okay.
I want you to leave my house, please.
Think you should get outta my house.
I don't wanna leave.
Eve. Get outta my house.
- Eve.
- You're very rude.
Yeah, you know, do you understand
that this is over between us?
- Okay?
- This is not over.
- This is over. This is done.
- It's not over.
This is done. I need
you to get outta my house.
If you really want me to leave, I will.
Get outta my house.
Fine.
(Eve sighing)
If that's what you really want.
- Oh, Aiden.
- What?
I asked you to leave.
I almost forgot.
(dramatic music)
Sit down.
Put, put the gun down, Eve.
- Put the gun down, Eve.
- Sit down.
I'm sitting down.
(Eve sighing)
Okay.
I have a bit of a confession to make.
(Eve sighing)
Those people, they don't deserve you, baby.
The first one, we both know
she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Good singer though.
Jenna.
Second one. (Laughing)
She was, she was a bit more complicated.
You know, I've never cut
brake cables on a car before.
I had to watch a YouTube tutorial.
Oh. Come on.
You, you don't have to do this, okay?
You're not gonna get away with this.
And the third, uh, geeze.
Our dearest Ted.
He just couldn't stop sticking his nose
- where it didn't belong.
- You can't,
you can't do this.
Hm. Actually, I can.
No. Caleb knows where I am.
Caleb knows you. Okay?
You've got a record. You understand?
You're not gonna get away with this.
You can't.
(suspenseful music continues)
Caleb won't be a problem.
You know, if you spent as
much time caring about me
as you did for all of these
other useless people
[Aiden] Please.
We really could've had something great.
Please, please don't do this.
Please.
You're gonna go to prison for this.
You know that, you're gonna go to prison?
Maybe. Maybe not.
(door clicks and creaks)
(ominous music)
- Eve.
- Caleb.
Eve. Put the gun down.
Eve.
It doesn't quite work that way.
(gun fires)
Oh my God. No!
No, no!
(indistinct)
No. Come on, please.
God, that cute smile.
What a waste.
Please.
(tool thuds)
Ah!
(tool clanks)
Linds!
I knew you were bad news
from the moment I met you!
Aiden, call the police. Please.
Yeah, yeah.
- Stop!
- Shit.
Right where you are.
(suspenseful music)
Come on, Linds.
You don't know the whole story.
I'm serious. Not another step.
[Aiden] No.
Or what? (Ominous music)
(gun fires)
- Oh my God! Oh!
(ominous music)
- You okay?
- I'm okay.
Caleb! Caleb!
Caleb!
Caleb, Caleb. Hey, hey, hey.
It's okay. It's okay.
All right, help on the way, okay?
(ominous music)
Okay. Just breathe.
It's okay.
Wait, wait. Where'd she go?
Where'd she go?
(siren wailing)
Where'd she go?
(siren wailing)
Hands up. Don't move.
No, no, no, no!
Don't shoot, don't shoot!
Step out immediately, slowly.
Okay. We called you.
We need... Put your hands
where I can see 'em.
We need an ambulance.
We need an ambulance right now.
[Officer] (indistinct) but for now,
please, step out, put you hands up.
(soft music)
You shouldn't have come, Eve.
I didn't know where else to go.
Did they come see you?
Yes.
They told me if I come back,
they'll take me far, far away.
Do you know what that means?
I do.
Sometimes we have
to do what we have to do
so that we can be free.
It's a different kind of free.
Let it rise.
(singer vocalizing)
A new dawn.
Let the light of her dawn shine brightly.
[Both] Forever into eternity,
forever into eternity,
forever into eternity.
- Forever.
- Into eternity.

(ominous music continues)
